The sunny hall on the second floor of Maple Leaf Castle.

Golden sunlight shines through the fine crystal glass into the small hall, reflecting the white cashmere carpet on the floor.

Rosen took a sip of tea and said softly, "The Sano family is very restless, and the chaos in Crescent Town has nothing to do with them. ”

Bilgu nodded: "The Sano family has many talents, and Baron Electrolux is the duke's most important refining master, while the descendants of the Ormisia family are not successful, either reckless or prodigal, so they are naturally easy to be remembered." ”

This kind of private affairs of the upper class, the real big guys, are very clear in their hearts.

You don't even need to investigate the specific actions of individuals, just by looking at the flow of interests, you can guess eight or nine.

Rosen continued: "If Faren is a Divine Temple mage, then I have nothing to say, and I won't care about it, but that guy is selfish and can sacrifice the interests of the entire highland at will for the benefit of his family. ”

Bilegu frowned slightly: "This is not enough, is it?" ”

Rosen smiled slightly and said softly, "I once teamed up with a transcendent creature to fight against the ancient tribe evil god Winterless King. ”

"Afterwards, the transcendent told me that the King of Neverwinter was awakened by accident, and the person who awakened him had an unusually powerful spell cultivation, and there was a high probability that there was a highland mage."

"I also personally dealt with a Winterless Apostle, and this person is Veronica, the daughter of Baron Filin in Moonlight Town, and Baron Filin used to be a good friend of Faerun."

"After I defeated Veronica, the Pure World Sanctuary wanted to take Veronica away for interrogation, but Faeron directly killed Veronica."

"Is it all a coincidence?"

To be honest, Rosen doesn't have tangible evidence, but there are some things that only need to prove that the other party has a huge suspicion.

Bilgu frowned: "Are you sure?" ”

"Everything I say, it's well documented."

Bilgou believed in Rosen's character, and he did, and his brow furrowed.

"It's too much!"

For an upper-class nobleman like him, provoking the civilians of Crescent Town and causing a riot is not a big deal, because it does not have much impact on him.

But if you can awaken the evil god, it will threaten the entire highland, and put him and his family in unpredictable danger, this is a big cross!

Rosen continued: "Now, Faeron has instigated a rebellion in Crescent Town in the North, and it won't be long before a large number of refugees will go south. ”

"I speculate that Faeron must find a way to make the refugees pour into Silvermoon Castle, and then incite a riot, triggering a tragic massacre of the refugees by the city defense army!"

Bilegu's eyebrows jumped: "This trick is also a bit ruthless!" But Pheren did it. ”

He has dealt with Fei Lun all his life and knows each other's character very well.

Selfish, ruthless and cold-blooded, but very good at disguise, he has bewitched a large number of scholar-type mages who focus on academics but have no interest in the world.

When Rosen saw that the other party was moved by his own words, he said his intentions.

"Therefore, I intend to take this opportunity to put forward Shapole as the next candidate for the earl."

Bilgu looked suspicious: "Is Shabolai the prodigal son?" ”

Rosen smiled slightly: "Old man, it is precisely because Xia Bolai is a mediocre prodigal son that after he ascended to the throne, everyone can have a good life." ”

"It's like now, everyone is a little overwhelmed by the earl."

Bilgo's eyebrows jumped again, and he nodded in agreement with Rosen's words.

"But this is not easy, after all, Shabolai's reputation is too bad, it is difficult to convince everyone."

Rosen laughed: "Part of Shabolai's bad reputation comes from himself. Part of it is from Vobos, and part of it comes from the propaganda of the Sano family. ”

"I have the confidence to tame Shabolai and get him to get rid of his bad habits. The remaining two are naturally not a big problem. ”

After all, Shapole is a member of the Omisia family, and if he behaves properly, others can't discredit him out of thin air.

And if it were someone else who said that, Bilgu naturally didn't believe it, but Rosen was different.

For he is a man who never speaks nonsense, and whoever speaketh must have great certainty.

So, Bilgou jumped straight to the next question: "So, what do you want to get?" ”

"I want to be a Baron of Crescent."

"Hmm~ That's a pretty good goal. So what do I get? ”

Rosen had already thought about it.

"I'm now a mid-level 8-star Divine Grace Mage, and my wife has been promoted to a high-level 13-star Mage, and we're both Temple Sect Mages."

"Once I become a baron, my wife and I will be able to gather enough energy to help you grow the Divine Temple's voice in the mage world of Silvermoon Castle."

"I am an outsider from the Highlands, and if I want to sit firmly in the position of baron, I need not only the support of the earl, but also your support."

"So, I will always stand behind you and be your firm arm."

"When the time comes, with the support of the powerful Shrine Sect, you can compete with Faeron for the position of the leader of the Mage's Guild."

As soon as these words came out, Bilgu was greatly moved.

Being the president of the Mage's Guild not only means great benefits, but also great prestige.

This is the glory that almost every mage in the Highlands dreams of.

Bilgou is no exception.

But he was not carried away by Rosen's promise, he let out a long breath and tried to come to his senses.

"It's a good idea to strengthen the Temple Sect, but it's easy to say, but it's hard to do!"

He has been in business for so many years, and he has spent an unknown amount of money, and the Temple Sect has not grown much.

Rosen chuckled, "What mages value most is magic knowledge, and I can provide that." ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of manuscript paper and placed it on the table.

"If you fully support me, then I will make this knowledge public."

Bilgu picked up the manuscript paper and looked at it, and saw that it read 'Multi-Dimensional Fluids and Dexterous Spells'.

I opened the catalog and took a quick look at it, and my heart was shocked: "Master Lawson, such a valuable spell-casting technique, do you really plan to make it public?" ”

Even he was very moved when he saw it.

Rosen smiled slightly: "To be precise, it is open within the Temple Sect, or more accurately, it is open at your tea party, divided into 40 classes, each class is 1 hour, and one lecture a week." ”

"Do you think that when I finish this course, will there be more temple mages than before?"

Bilgu nodded: "It's going to be a lot more." With strong original knowledge, as well as my financial and resource assistance, I can easily overpower the scholars. ”

Rosen smiled: "In this way, the election of the next president of the Mage Guild will vote." In the first round of the general election, you will get more votes than Feron. ”

Bilgu's heart was moved, and he was a little worried.

"But there's a second, more important High Council. It's hard for me to take advantage. ”

Rosen chuckled: "You helped the Earl, who treats him as a parent, to a high position, will the Earl not support you?" ”

"My wife is also a high-ranking mage, and if I become a baron. As a baroness, she is naturally also eligible to vote in the High Council. ”

"At that time, there will be 11 members of the High Council, three votes on the earl's side, one vote for my wife, one vote for Fuller, and one vote for yourself, that is a definite six votes."

"Coupled with the failure of the first round of universal suffrage, Faeron will immediately have to roll off the throne of the president, and you will be the mage leader of the Mage Guild of Silvermoon Castle."

This is indeed no problem, and the operability is extremely high, and Bilgu's heart is greatly moved.

is also a temple mage, and his friendship is usually very good, so he doesn't hide his thoughts, and can't help but smile.

"Master Rosen, I have to say, you have a pair of sharp teeth, and I was completely convinced by you."

Lawson's heart was slightly relieved, and he took a sip of the tea that had become a little cold.

"It's not that I convinced you, it's that you helped me, and I return your favor."

Bilgu nodded in agreement.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "But I would like to know why you are so pursuing the status of a baron?" ”

After a pause, he added: "After all, you should not lack money now, and there is no shortage of status, everyone respects you, and everyone is learning your flow number and gravitational spells."

"If you wait for more than ten years, your reputation will spread throughout the Golden Land."

Lawson spread his hands: "No matter how famous you are, at most you can become a guest of honor for the big guys, but you can't become the big guys themselves, and I'm actually very short of money." ”

In his previous life, Lord Niu was so famous that he only earned 100 pounds a year as a professor, and later entered the mint, and only 2,000 pounds a year.

During the same period, barons generally earned more than £10,000, and dukes and marques earned more than £100,000.

Not an order of magnitude at all.

But Bilgu was a little puzzled: "You lack money? How so? ”

As far as he knew, Rosen's gallery was quite profitable.

Rosen pointed to the ceiling.

"Sir, I also want to be like you to be stargazing without distractions and explore the mysteries of the starry sky."

"I also want to build an alchemy laboratory to explore the mysteries of matter, and all of this requires a lot of money, doesn't it?"

Bi Legu nodded in agreement: "Indeed, these things are too expensive, not only do they require money, but they also take a lot of time. ”

Rosen may be able to make this money, but it will take him a lot of time and energy to earn this money, and he will have to maintain a lot of relationships.

Then you can't do research without distractions.

He had to be helped by someone else to earn the money.

Like him, he didn't have to do anything, he didn't have to worry much, but the territory and the brothel provided him with more than 100,000 kroner a year.

So, he understood Rosen perfectly.

"If you want to go down this path, then you really need to have a rich territory to support you."

And Rosen's words aroused his interest in magic: "You just said that if you want to build an alchemy laboratory, do you plan to take the road of alchemy?" ”

Rosen shook his head slightly: "To be precise, I want to explore the mysteries of the starry sky more deeply through alchemy."

Bi Legu was puzzled for a moment: "Alchemy and the starry sky, is there anything to do with it?"

Rosen smiled: "Sir, what do you observe the starry sky?"

"Survey Mirror."

"Yes, it's the Sky Survey Mirror, but what does the Sky Survey Mirror really see?"

Bilgu was stunned for a moment, and after a little thought, he gave the answer: "It's Starlight."

Lawson nodded: "Yes, it's Starlight." Or rather, light. ”

"I'm interested in light."

Bi Legu suddenly understood: "Just this thing, you can see it, you can't touch it, it's not easy to study, right?"

Rosen smiled again: "Sir, let me ask you a few questions."

"You ask."

Rosen asked, "Why does the sun shine?" ”

Bilgu was about to drink tea, when he heard this, he suddenly fell into thought, and forgot to drink the tea when it was brought to his mouth, and after a while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I don't know."

Rosen asked, "Gravitational spells are known to pull matter, but they are ineffective against light. Then I asked, why doesn't it work? ”

Actually, it works, but to observe the gravitational phenomenon that distorts the light enough, it has to be as powerful as the sun, and this is obviously far beyond the limits of the power of living beings.

Bilgu was again dumbfounded.

Rosen added: "I found that what gravity can pull must have mass, and gravity cannot pull light, which means that light has no mass." ”

"Then I ask, what is quality?"

Bilgu was greatly aroused by the curiosity in his heart, and subconsciously repeated: "Yes, what is quality?" ”

Although he hadn't thought deeply about this question, as soon as Rosen said this, he clearly felt a breath of the world's basic laws.

Rosen threw another question.

"It's an obvious fact that massless light energy resonates with mass matter, allowing it to raise its temperature."

"Then I ask again, why do light and matter resonate?"

Bilgu couldn't take it anymore and waved his hand repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, don't ask, don't ask, you make me feel like an ignorant old country farmer!"

Rosen spread his hands, also with a helpless face.

"Sir, I don't have answers to these questions, so I want to spend all my energy to study and pursue them just like you are obsessed with stargazing."

"Even if I spend my life for this, I have no regrets."

Bilgu was greatly moved!

He stared at Rosen, who looked back without blinking.

After a long time, the old mage let out a long sigh.

"Everyone wants to be a baron, but others are for money, but you are for knowledge."

"I also believe that if you can focus on it, you will definitely gain something. And I'm desperate for answers to these questions. ”

"So, I will give you my full support to become the Baron of Crescent Town."

Rosen stood up and saluted Bilgou again.

"Thank you very much for your understanding and support! I will never forget your kindness. ”

Bilgu also stood up, and even bowed to Lawson as well.

"Master Lawson, when it comes to mana realm and spell-casting skills, you are inferior to me for the time being. But in terms of insight into the laws of the world, I am far inferior to you. ”

"Young man, go and pursue the truth of the world!"
