Chapter 401: Fanaticism

Anyone who has attended his lectures knows that this is just the old man's self-humility, and his erudition is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, as if there is no book in this world that he has not read, and there is nothing he does not know.

Copperfield felt that he had been possessed by Lady Luck for some time now, and he had seen all the big people he hadn't even dared to think of before, first Grand Duke Buck, the supreme ruler of the Carthusian Army, then Baron Sean, the supreme ruler of the Eternal Night Army, and now Abner, the general speaker of the Warlock Alliance.

Even if they brag in the tavern, few believe in themselves.

Who will be the next big man to summon you?

Kristen Brian, the guardian of the Flower Language Plateau?

It's crazy.

But it doesn't seem impossible, after all, the benefits they brought back from the Eternal Night Army tie are not a little bit, and many things will have an impact on the Huayu Plateau and the rule of the Brian family.

Although the Grand Duke Chrysteen had a mediocre life and had been inactive since he ascended the throne, he was able to stand out from the many heirs and sit in his current position, which has already explained a lot of problems, and he will definitely react to this matter, but sooner or later, and he still seems to be the best medium.

The thought of this possibility made Sir Copperfield excited, compared to other rulers in high positions, this was the object of his allegiance, if the other party could ask for him, it would really take off and regain what he dreamed of.

"Copperfield, Galder, I remember you. The first to speak was a council scholar named Antoine.

"Scholar remembers me?" said Sir Copperfield, who had met him a few times when he was a student at the Vault of the Firmament, and vaguely remembered that his name had been introduced to him.

"You were a young man with a lot of ideas, and your failure to embark on the road of a university scholar is our biggest loss. "Regardless of whether Antoine is a scholar who really remembers Copperfield or a fake one, at least the homework is very well prepared.

This made Sir Copperfield full of emotion, but also a little ashamed: "I'm sorry that the student has embarrassed you. ”

"Don't say that, young people, there is not only one way to learn, walking outside, maybe you can learn a lot of things that cannot be learned in books. Abner said in his characteristic gentle tone, "You see, we wouldn't have gotten these good things without you going out." ”

In his hands were two printed books from the Eternal Night Warlord.

"Thank you for your teachings. Sir Copperfield said sincerely, "I am just a fluke ahead, and even without me, it will not be long before someone else will bring these books." ”

"Luck is also a kind of ability, not everyone has it, what you do first is what you do first, and no one can grab it. Abner smiled, "Young man, can you tell me where you come from, and how did you get it?"

"It's an honor to be able to share my story with all of you, starting with the financial crisis of the family I inherited......

Sir Copperfield was well aware of the temperament of these scholars, just like reading his autobiography, starting from his family's financial crisis, to how he could not resist the temptation of high prices from the Kingsley family, and embarked on the road of no return to trafficking in grain, and finally because of the change of situation, he accidentally got on the line with the Eternal Night Army, so that he had these goods.

Sir Copperfield is eloquent, and he talks about his own personal experience, how many points are important, and some irrelevant brushstrokes, mainly around the origin of this batch of goods.

Even if the scholar didn't say it directly, he knew what the other person was interested in, because the goods themselves were consciously selected by him.

The prices of these books were certainly expensive, but from a purely commercial point of view, Sir Copperfit's business was quite ordinary.

Because the Dome of the Warlock Alliance is located on the top of the southwesternmost mountain of the Flower Language Plateau, separated by thousands of kilometers from the Despair Swamp in the northeast.

Many grain merchants know that there is a huge profit in it, but they are disgusted with the long distance, and they all give up, most of them are in line with the principle of proximity, after getting rid of the goods of the Eternal Night Army, they will return to the Desperate Swamp as soon as possible with the products needed by the Eternal Night Army, and transport the second batch of goods, and use the shortest time to grab the largest market and seek the greatest benefits, which is what a qualified businessman should do.

However, Sir Copperfield was not a pure businessman from the beginning, and only ran a business to make a new rise, and saw an opportunity to tie up with the Warlock Alliance, even if he gave up some of his interests.

It's just that this time the effect far exceeded his expectations, and for this special commodity he brought, the Warlock Alliance paid the highest level of attention.

If they don't pay attention to it, they don't qualify to be called one of the smartest people in the world.

The five scholars patiently listened to Sir Copperfield's story, and Antoine, the scholar who had spoken to him first, concluded: "According to the Bachelor's meaning, these goods were sold by the Eternal Night Commander on his own initiative?"

"That's right!" Sir Copperfield sighed in his heart, a Parliamentarian scholar worthy of a Parliamentarian scholar, and he saw the core of the problem at a glance, "the other party must want to open up the new market of the Flower Language Plateau through our hands, they have shown strong confidence in their goods from the beginning, but they do have a reason for this, I have never seen so many books piled up together except in the library at the top of the firmament." ”

"Yes, we have found a shortcut to the temple of knowledge, and this is what we are most ashamed of, we claim to be one of the smartest people in the world, but we have never thought of improving our writing instruments. This time it was Speaker Abner who exclaimed, "So, you don't know how these papers are made and how they are transcribed?"

Sir Copperfield shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I really don't know about this, I've been on the side, but the division of labor among the people of the Eternal Night Army is very clear, merchants are simple merchants, workers are just workers, and I don't know what they know, and I am not qualified to visit their workshops."

This time, we didn't even get close to the Andes Mountains, the core territory of the Eternal Night Lord, they transported the goods to the Danube River for trading, and the next time the situation may be better, the battle between the Kingsley family and the Eternal Night Army in the Desperate Swamp has ended, and they have temporarily set up the distribution center of the goods in the brother port, but we can only contact the transportation personnel, and the workshop has no way to contact it. ”

"Territorial business model, it seems that they have a very strong sense of technical secrecy. Speaker Abner nodded, "If it is pure trade, it will be impossible for you to come into contact with their workshops in a short time, and the young people will continue to trade a second time when the goods are sold, right?"

"It's nature. Sir Copperfield lifted his spirits, and after talking for a long time, the main topic finally came.

"We want to ask you for something. Speaker Abner said.

"Speak, scholar. "Sir Copperfield cried out in his heart, I have come all the way here for this, come on, let the storm come more violently.

"I want to go with the young man to the Eternal Night Lord, and it would be better if I could find a way to introduce the lord of the Eternal Night Lord. ”

Before Speaker Abner could finish speaking, the other four parliamentary scholars fell silent.

"The Speaker is going to go in person?"

"This matter is not appropriate, the Speaker General is too old to be tiring on the road. ”

"Although these novelties are of far-reaching significance, they are not enough for the Speaker to go in person, so we can leave this matter to us. ”

"That's right, just leave this matter to us. ”

Obviously, the proposal that Speaker Abner just said was not discussed with them beforehand.

Sir Copperfield's mouth opened even more in surprise, before he came, he had already thought of the impact of this new commodity on the Warlock Alliance, but he didn't expect that such a big thing would make Speaker Abner have such an idea.

"In the past, when we had a disagreement, it would be done through voting, and this matter made me arbitrary, not only about this new paper making process and new transcription method.

There has been a sea change in my hometown, and I want to go back and see it before I go to the earth, and in a few years, when I enter a period of decline like His Majesty Delt, I will not be able to walk, and I ask you to allow me to be willful for once, not from the request of the Speaker, but from an old man who is about to face death. Speaker Abner said earnestly.

At this time, Sir Copperfield noticed that Abner, the general speaker of the Warlock Alliance, was an out-and-out Andes face, probably because the title of the general speaker of the Warlock League was too dazzling, and people always unconsciously ignored this.

Faced with an old man's face full of anticipation, it was really difficult for them to say the word "no".

"Why don't you let me accompany the Speaker for a trip, so that you can take care of it and save you from worrying. Antoine suggested.

"That's for the best. ”

"If we are accompanied by a scholar from Antoine, we are much more relieved. ”

The other three council scholars nodded in agreement, apparently confident in Antoine's force.

"Then it's a trouble for Scholar Antoine. Speaker Abner did not refuse the offer, but turned to Sir Copperfield and said, "I wonder if it is inconvenient for Bachelor Copperfield?"

"This is the greatest honor of my life. Sir Copperfield nodded again and again, what a joke, this is a good thing that cannot be begged for, and then take this matter out and say that all the scholars will have to give three points when they see him.

Excited, Sir Copperfield cautiously asked, "I wonder when it will be convenient for you to leave, Your Excellency the Speaker?"

"We'll go with the Bachelor, and the itinerary will naturally be arranged by the Bachelor, and it will only take three days for me to arrange the business at hand, but what about the Scholar Antoine?" Speaker Abner turned his head to look at Antoine.

Antoine hesitated a little and said, "Three days, that's enough." ”

Sir Copperfield's eyes flickered and said, "Although my goods are out, but the entourage has traveled thousands of kilometers and needs to take a rest, why don't we leave in a week?"

"It couldn't be better. The strained black face of the Antoine scholar showed a rare smile, and he was very pleased with Sir Copperfield's knowledge of the times.

"I don't know how much Master Copperfield knows about the ruler of the Eternal Night Army, and I don't know what the other party likes, but I can tell me what the Eternal Night Army Lord looks like in your eyes!" Speaker Abner asked again.

Faced with this new question from Speaker Abner, Sir Copperfield's mind moved, and he remembered the separate explanation of the other party when he met Sean, and replied conservatively: "We are almost passive in dealing with the Eternal Night Commanders, and our understanding of them is really limited, but I have had the privilege of meeting their ruler, and he once told me bluntly that he is interested in books and relics of the ancient Andys Empire, and if you want to find something to impress each other, you can start from this aspect." ”

The purpose of the Warlock Alliance is very clear, it is to go to the new paper-making process and new transcription method of the Eternal Night Army.

But with empty mouths and white teeth, even if Speaker Abner personally came out, he didn't want to get it from the other party.

Just look at the reactions of the bachelors and scholars at the top of the firmament, even if the price of the eight carriages of books they transported has tripled compared to the purchase price, they are still sold out in an instant, and the buyers still look like they are taking advantage of it.

If Copperfield hadn't considered long-term interests, the price would have been doubled, and it would have been sold.

How many people in the world are reading and those who need to read, and how great are the benefits involved?

Copperfield has no clue what Sean is interested in, but it is not a problem for the Warlock Alliance, which has been committed to collecting and preserving knowledge.

In the great library of the top of the firmament, the only documents preserved should be the most complete in the whole continent.

"Rare books and relics from the period of the Ancient Andes Empire, understood, thanks to the information provided by Master Copperfield, the consumption of your party in the Dome during this time is all of the Arithmetic Alliance. "Speaker Abner issued an eviction order in disguise.

"Thank you for the kindness of the Speaker, if there is nothing else, I will retire first, and we will see you in a week. Copperfield did not refuse this kindness.

"See you in a week. ”

After Ser Copperfield's departure, the council members of the Five Warlock Alliance did not immediately disband, but began an internal discussion.

"For this new force, everyone looked away, but they didn't expect that they not only had the strategic weapon of black powder in their hands, but also mastered this treasure that could change the history of mankind. Another council university Scholar Aubrey said.

"Yes, I personally led people to test and analyze this new paper, this paper is made of plants and trees, and I am trying to reverse its production process, but from the softness and smoothness they show, this is a relatively stable product, not a day's work, if you want to reverse it, you can't do it in a day or two.

As for the new transcription method, what can be analyzed at present is that the ink used by the other party is not the ordinary ink circulating on the market, it is mixed with other substances, which is clearer and more durable, as for how to do a large amount of transcription, it is impossible to guess, but one thing is certain, it is definitely not human transcription, it is more like printing with a seal!" said the head of the Barrow University Scholar, who is the head of the Alchemy Department of the Warlock Alliance.

"Printed with a seal?"

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Abner hurriedly looked at the book in his hand, and said hurriedly: "Isn't it just printed? And it's not printed by one seal, you see, in the same book, there are differences in the writing of the same word, but the words in the same position in the two books are the same, this is simply the countless seals arranged together, and then printed page by page, this is really a genius idea." ”

At the end of the day, Abner couldn't help but laugh out loud than if he had solved a difficult math problem.

It was no fluke that Abner was able to become the Chair of the Warlock Alliance, a group of wise men.

His powers of observation and association are far beyond those of ordinary people.

Sean was afraid that he never dreamed that the biggest mystery of printing technology would be so easily cracked.

Isn't printing just arranging countless seals and printing them into a book?

But it's one thing to know the principle, it's another thing to actually do it.

Just look at the Eternal Night Lord.
