Chapter 479: The Grand Arcanist Visits
But the reality is often unexpected, just when Xia Duo put all the direction of his brain on the Hawk Collar, Taling suddenly sent him an unexpected news-
Great Arcanist Byron is here!
Byron is a great arcanist that Xia Duo knows a lot, born in the Gustav Tower, and later switched to the Gilles Tower, and then not only became a grand arcanist himself, but also trained the princess as a grand arcanist.
The whole life experience is quite legendary.
Of course, Master Byron is most famous for creating a very universal life-extending magic, of course, the threshold for casting spells is also very high, which can extend the lifespan of normal humans by one to two times, which is called [Byron Longevity] in the outside world.
As a result, he gained great prestige among the Arcanist community.
The Tower of Time also has a life-extending magic, but the effect is not ideal, and it can only extend the lifespan of ten to thirty years, of course, this is without side effects.
Most of Nesser's life-extending spells have a variety of side effects, the most extreme being the transformation of the human body into an undead creature that causes the caster to lose normal human emotions, including desires, which is terrifying to think about.
Xia Duo really couldn't figure out how Byron came to the Tower of Time, there was no intersection between the two at all, even if the princess had something to order, it was Archmage Greta who came to run errands before.
It wasn't like he came to give him longevity magic!
Xia Duo never thought that Master Byron was the mysterious mage who had just scared him away, until he invited the other party into the reception room, and Master Byron's first words made Xia Duo suddenly realize:
"Lord Xiaduo, you ran too fast just now, the old man didn't have time to say a complete word!"
"Green Sword Fairy"
The master's tone was like a reproach or a joke, and Xia Duo was beating a drum in his heart, and he only laughed at this, not daring to refute anything.
He really didn't believe that a great arcanist would have nothing to do and come and joke with him, there must be a reason behind this that he didn't understand, there was no need to beat around the bush between mages, especially between high and low classes, and asking directly was the best choice.
"Master Byron, what do you want me to command?"
"Don't be so serious!" Byron waved his hand, but having said that, the expression on his own face became unconsciously serious, "There is one thing I must tell you! ”
"Master, please speak."
Byron took out the remains of the paper that he had picked up after Chado, and the Mithril nugget disguised as a stone, and put it on the table at hand, and his fingers dotted on the remains of the light brown paper, and said, "This kind of paper, don't make it again in the future!" ”
"Why?" Xia Duo subconsciously asked, but he immediately reacted again, and the person in front of him was a great arcanist who was far superior to him in terms of strength and knowledge.
"No, master, I mean, this kind of paper has a low cost, and it would be convenient if it was used to replace parchment as a daily record!"
Xia Duo said very vaguely, and did not directly mention the popularization of knowledge, after all, he did not know what the attitude of the Grand Arcanist in front of him was towards the popularization of knowledge.
But as long as it is a normal person, it will understand what it means to reduce the cost of knowledge carriers, let alone a great arcanist who has lived for hundreds of years and is as wise as the abyss!
This can be regarded as a temptation for Xia Duo, if the other party is an ultra-conservative, then he will have to consider changing camps, at the right time.
"Lord Shado, I'm not one of those stubborn old men who only know how to suppress their juniors, I can see the prospect of this kind of paper, and I'm happy to see it, but at least in the short term, don't make it anymore, as for the reason-"
Speaking of this, Byron couldn't help but sigh, and his tone became gloomy, "In the past, there were people who invented papermaking or other things that were conducive to the development of the times, but then these people died unexplained, guess why?" ”
"Because of the elves?" Xia Duo subconsciously said what he considered to be the biggest imaginary enemy.
"There are elves, but not exactly, there are always people who can't see other people like him, to know that the world is not as beautiful as it seems."
Xia Duo understood in seconds, so it seems that Byron should be considered an enlightened person, but the next moment, Xia Duo felt ridiculous about his previous speculation, it is obvious that Byron is in the same camp as the princess, and the princess opens up a new place for ordinary people to live, this is not considered an enlightened faction, or a popular faction, who else counts?
Of course, Xia Duo also knew that there were probably more complex reasons behind the pioneering movement, but objectively, the princess did represent the interests of ordinary people, at least in terms of opening up a place to live.
The people have been set up, and a lot of fans have gathered, and a series of interests have been implicated, even the Grand Arcanist is difficult to repeat!
"By the way, master, how did you know that I was making paper?" If this question is not asked clearly, then he will be suspicious of everything in the future.
In this regard, Byron did not hide it, "A little trick of prophecy can warn of some specific behaviors in the territory of Color, but under normal circumstances, prophecy is difficult to predict in advance, and it is usually discovered after the fact."
"You pioneers are very concerned, I found out when you were making wood pulp, and then I tampered with the prophecy information for you, and then sent it to remind you, but I didn't expect-"
After saying it clearly, Xia Duo had fewer doubts in his heart.
Prophecy is actually a kind of detection spell, and the [Detection and Detection] and [Avoidance Detection] blessed by Xia Duo can be effectively prevented, but these are all for individuals.
He didn't expect that there would be a large-scale detection spell for specific behaviors and events.
But now that he knows the reason, he can also make a special targeted spell, this time Byron came to remind with words, if next time it is an elf or someone else who comes to use a spell to "remind", it will not be beautiful.
However, there is one more question, "Master, is it true that no one else will detect it?" ”
It's not that Xia Duo is timid, but if someone else detects it, then many of his plans will be changed because of this, at least he doesn't want to be the person who disappears in Byron's mouth.
"Even gods don't dare to say 'absolutely', but you pioneers themselves have been obscured by the information of the Gilles Tower, and I have dealt with it very quickly before, and it will be difficult for outsiders to find you unless they deliberately target you."
Hearing this, Xia Duo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then he thought of the Hawke Lord who was said to be very close to the Grand Arcanist, this guy wouldn't keep an eye on him, would he?
"What? Still have questions? I can answer them all today. ”
Byron also knows Xia Duo quite well, not to mention the basic investigation of the pioneers, and the current identity of Xia Duo's status as the main agent of the Tower of Time also makes Byron attach great importance to it.
Savile's return is imminent, and the Tower of Time will become a powerful pillar for the princess at that time, and Chardo will also become an important role, and Byron is still very optimistic about Chardo.
