Chapter 1651: The World on the Clouds (II.)
Roland gathered a total of six partners, including himself, who were the agents of the seven true gods of the world of Vares. Roland himself represents Sindra, the "goddess of fate", Andrei represents the "god of magic" Bokab, Beowulf and Natasha represent the "god of courage and strength" Kord, Carol and Theodora represent the "goddess of magic and death" Vijes, and sisters Lyubov and Victoria represent the "elf god of the sea" Sesila.
Then it was a bit unexpected. Bratu Wrought Iron was invited to attend the meeting, but the Dwarven Lord's trip was purely soy sauce, and it was not he who could truly represent the "God of Forging" Moradin, but his wife, Bloom's mother, Aunt Valeria Wrought, High Priest of Moradin in Icewind Dale.
Afterwards, Roland laughed at himself for making a low-level mistake. Uncle Bratu is a dwarven mage, how can he be the spokesperson of the dwarven god? Aunt Valery should have been invited in the first place. Fortunately, most of the dwarves, both male and female, have an open and informal personality, and Aunt Valeria doesn't care about his faux pas.
Valentina accepted Roland's invitation to attend the meeting, and was accompanied by an elegant old man with white hair, who smiled a little strangely when she met Roland, and took the initiative to say "long time no see".
Roland vaguely agreed, how could he not think of who this old man who looked like a fairy wind and bones? When did you meet him?
Sister Jinlong was still considerate, seeing the blankness in his eyes, she hurriedly reminded with telepathy: "Silly boy, that's my father!" You can't recognize you when you turn into a human form? ”
"Hey, hey! It turned out to be Elder Suslov, look at my eyes...... The arrival of distinguished guests is really a disappointment! Roland slapped his forehead, regretting that he didn't know Tarzan...... Well? It's really "Tarzan".
While chatting with the old man, Roland was still communicating with Valentina, and finally figured out why their father and daughter came to Beacon Hill together.
In fact, this is to blame for Roland's poor consideration when he wrote to Valentina, and took it for granted that Sister Golden Dragon could represent the platinum dragon god. However, Valentina was a druid who pursued the way of nature and aspired to be the goddess of agriculture in Vares, not a devout follower of Bahamut. After receiving Roland's invitation, Valentina was afraid that Xiao Qinglang would be disappointed, so she did not directly reply to explain that she was not suitable to participate in this matter, but passed the invitation to her father, the chief elder of the "North Wind Tianyu" metal dragon clan, the "platinum dragon god" Bahamut voter, and the "dragon of the gods" Suslov, asking her father to help Roland upgrade the spell network for her.
The old man Suslov was far-sighted and wise, and through his daughter's letter, he sensed that this was a good opportunity to strengthen the alliance of the gods, and immediately used his "psychic magic" to seek inspiration from the platinum dragon god, and as expected, he received a positive answer, so he accompanied his daughter to Lighthouse Mountain to participate in the grand event.
With all the participants present, André gave a welcome speech as the host, briefly introduced the process of upgrading the spell network and the mission that the partners need to undertake, and then gave up the podium to Roland.
The documents brought by Roland have been distributed, and Nikita has been captured to act as a small secretary and roadshow assistant, and instructed her to map the pictures prepared in advance to the snow-white walls with spells, and forcibly render the visual effects of PPT......
When the participants got the information provided by Roland, they were all struck by the literary title "The World on the Clouds".
This title immediately aroused everyone's curiosity, and everyone was speculating about what the so-called "cloud" meant. You can't build a castle floating on the clouds, right?
Roland's next speech began with the word "cloud", describing to the attendees his vision of the future of the spell network, including many unprecedentedly unprecedented, so that everyone in the audience was unconsciously intoxicated and suffocated by Roland's dreams.
According to Roland, the upgraded spell network will not only provide arcane or magic services, but will also contain traps, psychic abilities, and all other similar supernatural resources, making it the first comprehensive spell network ever built in the world of Vares. In order to distinguish it from the traditional monolithic spell network, Roland named the comprehensive spell network of his dream "Cloud Network".
Roland firmly believes that the birth of the "cloud network" will change the world of Vares, change the lifestyle of all spellcasters, demonstrable people and even ordinary people in the world, and will deeply lay the brand of "cloud network" in various fields such as people's clothing, food, housing, transportation, life, old age, sickness and death.
"The future world will be a new world based on the 'cloud network', and living away from the 'cloud network' is like returning to the primitive era of Ru Mao drinking blood, which is neither unimaginable nor tolerable."
Roland's words were so categorical that the participants couldn't help but wonder where he got this confidence, and they were even more curious about what he was going to say.
Roland glanced at the venue, noticed everyone's attentive demeanor, smiled slightly, turned around and snapped his fingers.
Nikita comprehended and cooperated with him, waving her hand to unleash her illusion, mapping several accompanying images onto the wall and zooming in for everyone to see.
Roland first gave his own definition of "cloud network". In his view, the so-called cloud network is first of all a communication service platform, and secondly, it is a virtual exchange that brings together cloud services, cloud commodities and cloud assets.
Communication services are well understood, and Roland's original intention in establishing the "cloud network" is to provide a carrier for the "magic broadcast" signal, so that thousands of households can listen to the radio through the cloud network. "Cloud assets", "cloud services" and "cloud commodities" are phrases coined by Roland that sound difficult to understand and need further interpretation.
"The so-called 'cloud assets' are actually the collective name of all the spell casting and manifest rights and interests that can be deposited, loaned, and circulated in the cloud network account, such as arcane bits, magic slots, mechanism slots, and psionic points."
In Roland's view, the primary mission of the "cloud network" is to transform arcane bits, magic bits, and psionic points into "cloud assets" that can be traded.
Since "cloud assets" are an asset, of course, there is a question of pricing. The traditional spell network is based on "Arcane Coin" for the Arcane Bit, and "Divine Coin" for the Magic Bit, and the exchange between different spell bits is based on fixed rules, such as 1 1-ring Arcane bit is equivalent to 1 Arcane Bit, and 1 9-ring Arcane bit is equivalent to 17 Arcane Bits. How much is 1 Austrian coin equivalent to? No one can give an accepted answer. Given the clear distinction between arcane and theological networks, it seems unnecessary to delve into this issue.
However, the birth of "cloud network" will completely change the above ambiguous situation.
