Chapter 320: The Future of the Land of Gold Depends on You (1/4)
Royal Spa Pool.
The middle-aged man had no expression on his face, as if he had been hit by a petrification in his facial features.
His voice was also very indifferent.
"It seems quite respectful now, but when I was in heaven before, I didn't see you afraid of me at all."
"Originally, this matter was forgotten, but I didn't expect you to enter the volcanic heights again and kill a black dragon, which is really shocking!"
In this way, it seems that the person who came was indeed St. Davolense, and his tone of voice also carried a hint of condemnation.
Fortunately, it's just a trace, and it's not to the level of scolding.
Rosen secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and immediately explained.
"Sage, this is the name of the second prince, I am just ordered to carry it out."
"The second prince is naturally also at fault, and his father blames him. And you, I have to talk to you carefully. ”
Saint Dawallen's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Rosen, revealing full solemnity.
"You have to admit that you do have an astonishing amount of intelligence."
"But the fear of God in your heart is also strikingly weak."
"If you're an ordinary person, it doesn't matter, but you're such an existence that people can't ignore."
"This makes me a little worried, I'm afraid that you will gradually be carried away by your brilliant achievements, so that you will return to the old path of the Burning Sky Archmage!"
That's a bit of a weight.
Rosen immediately assured: "Sage, I think the Burning Sky Archmage is a madman!" ”
"When a twenty-year-old Greymane sees his forty-year-old self, he will also think that his forty-year-old self is a madman."
"But endless glory is a poisonous wine that corrupts the will, and there are not many people in this world who can resist this poison."
"If you don't believe me, just look at the Duke of the North, look at the Duke of the East, and see how these two mortals with extraordinary power are wandering."
Rosen wondered: "Since the Sage thinks that these two dukes are dissolute, why don't they take their authority?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Davorence looked at Rosen with an alien-looking gaze.
"See, you don't have the slightest fear of God."
"People like you, the greater the strength, the more dangerous it is, if you have enough strength, and if the gods stand in your way, you are afraid that you will kill the gods, right?"
This is even more serious.
Rosen's heart was shocked, and he immediately retorted: "Sage, you can't condemn me because I haven't done anything. ”
Davorence also consciously lost his words and immediately softened his tone.
"I'm overdoing it, but that's what it means. In short, I am very worried about you. ”
"It is precisely because of this anxiety that I decided to carefully observe your every move and give the most conservative support."
"As for your proposal for the Great Floating City, I admit that it is very grandiose, and I hope that it will become a reality one day."
"But because of your fragile faith, and because of the oracle left by God the Father, the Council of the Holy Spirit will always be neutral and discreet."
"In addition to protecting your soul from evil laws, and in addition to the rewards within the established rules, it will never help you gain any additional benefits in the mortal world."
"If you want to build a big floating city, you can, it's all up to you."
Rosen breathed a sigh of relief, and he immediately nodded: "Sage, what you said is what I want best, and I have long been mentally prepared. ”
Davorence nodded in satisfaction.
"It's very good to be able to say this, which means that at least you are still very sober now, but I will always pay attention to you and hope that you can always stay awake."
"I'll do my best."
Speaking of which, Lawson does feel that his current mentality is a little floating.
There are many reasons for this.
It may be that the core of Shentie was created, or it may be the favor of Heya Jiali. And just now, he even killed a real dragon.
In short, his recent days have been so smooth sailing that he subconsciously thinks that the prosperity of the golden land is the whole truth of the world, but forgets the cruelty of the transcendent world.
Davorence was clearly more perceptive than Aph, and easily sensed Rosen's introspection.
His solemn eyes also became much gentler, and his tone was much softened.
"The flying magic weapon you created killed the black dragon, although it was only a young dragon that had just reached adulthood, and it was mixed with a lot of luck ingredients, but it still shocked us."
"This means that the power that mortals have gained by relying on their wisdom has truly posed a mortal threat to the transcendent."
"And that's very good!"
Rosen's heart moved slightly, and he remembered the extraordinary situation that Afu had said.
"Sage, didn't you get a divine bow recently? Isn't it still possible to defend against the threat of the outer gods? ”
Davorence shook his head slowly.
"The use of the Divine Bow comes at a great cost. When the arrow is on the string, it is the time when the threat is greatest, and once it is shot, it may mean the reopening of the transcendent and chaotic world. ”
At this, his voice grew lower.
"There's something that only I know, but now, I think you should know too."
He turned his head, stared at Rosen, and uttered a fact word for word.
"The Father is gone."
Rosen was shocked when he heard it: "Where did you go?"
"I don't know. It may be a trip to another world, or it may be gone forever. ”
"Why is there a response when you're gone?"
"All that is left is the immortal power of the Father."
Speaking of this, the middle-aged Holy Spirit sighed lightly, and his almost frozen facial features moved slightly, outlining a hint of anxiety that looked faint, but was terrifying.
"The anxiety in my heart is very great, every moment I fear the sudden outbreak of war, the fear that the rich and golden land will be scorched overnight."
"Because the foundation of all this prosperity is very, very fragile."
"We are in dire need of newborn, strong comrades-in-arms."
"Once, we thought that Gremair was this person, so we fully supported his growth, but unfortunately his neck was too thin to wear a god crown."
"Now, you're here."
"You are far more intelligent than Grayman, and we want you to grow quickly, but we also fear that you will become the most terrible enemy."
"When the Father was here, it could still be ended, but now that he is gone, everything is unknown."
Rosen couldn't help but sigh.
"Sage, you think too highly of me. Besides, even if I was lucky enough to be promoted to the Transcendent, it would be impossible for me to pose a threat to the Thousand Golden Holy Spirits. ”
St. Davolence also sighed lightly: "Young man, you don't know your potential yet, but it doesn't matter, you will know eventually."
"I'll tell you at the end that because of the unexpected death of the black dragon Ertustan, there was also a violent tremor within the dragon clan."
"The already fragile balance is becoming more and more fragile. The only good news is that the dragons are chronic. Negotiate a countermeasure, and you may have been chattering for more than ten years. ”
"We're going to do our best to make that time longer."
"But after more than ten years, will the land of gold be more brilliant, or will it be reduced to ruins?"
"Whether the Terrans dominate the world or become slaves depends on the efforts of you new generation mages."
"Especially you."
After saying this, the figure of St. Dawallens had disappeared.
After he left, Lawson took a deep breath and buried his whole head in the hot spring, letting the warm water rub against his scalp and isolate all the noise of the world.
"I've been getting a little carried away lately, not only forgetting the extraordinary threat, but also forgetting the dangers of the world."
As long as it is human, whether it is transcendent or mortal, there are many kinds of personalities.
Some are sensible, some are greedy, some are stupid, some are arrogant, and some are jealous, and the vast majority of people are a combination of qualities.
People who are truly pure and rational are actually very rare.
The vast majority of people are emotionally unstable, like dandelions, fluttering in the wind.
Therefore, if you want to do a big thing in such a random world, it is best to follow the rules of the world.
Unless one day, he really gains the strength to subdue everyone, then he is qualified to be capricious.
Because only absolute power can obtain absolute power.
If there is no absolute power, then it must be carefully compromised and traded.
As he was soaking, he suddenly picked himself up from the bottom of the water with one hand, and heard the exclamation of Mrs. Summit in his ears.
"How are you, Master Lawson?"
Then he felt his back lean against a soft mass, but it was Mrs. Summit who hugged her.
After a little thought, the other party probably thought he was drowning.
After breaking free, he shrugged his shoulders: "Just soak your brain, don't be nervous." ”
Mrs. Summit looked shocked.
"If you're from the East, then I'm definitely not nervous, but you're from the North, a Northerner who can drown in a basin of water."
At this time, Orogaard saw the movement here, and also swam over: "What happened?" ”
Rosen straightened up and shrugged his shoulders: "Soak my head in the water, and Madame will think I'm drowning." Although I am very grateful for this kindness, I still feel that I am underestimating. ”
Orogaard laughed: "This is also normal, who made the people of the north the children of the earth, haha." ”
The two of them had almost swam away, so they went ashore together and found a small hall for lunch.
After filling his stomach, Lawson drove Sky One, honestly suspended on the street, and floated all the way back to Bren's estate.
On the way, Orogaard asked, "Master Rosen, are you free for the next few days?" ”
"Is there anything going on with Your Highness?"
"I'd like to invite you to the Golden Magic Academy to take a few master classes on the flow of numbers, and the single teaching fee is calculated at the top 10 crowns, how about it?"
His Royal Highness's invitation, naturally, is to be accepted, and who would refuse to make money?
Lawson said: "There is something going on tomorrow, and it should be fine in the next few days." And I'm going to have to prepare carefully, so can I do it the afternoon after tomorrow? ”
"No problem, I'll go to the academy to make a notice."
Once things are agreed, it's all the way to small talk.
Soon at the manor, the prince was satisfied and rode away in a carriage, and Lawson and Dora went to find Archmage Brun.
As a result, Brun was too busy taking care of his strange winter wheat to pay attention to the two of them, and only instructed the butler Ah Fu.
"Take these two young and promising mages to my library, my collection of books is open to them."
So, the two went to the library called the Royal Botanical Society, which was actually Bren's private house, and browsed the books collected by Archmage Brun to pass the time.
Burren was an earl, but because he was resident in the imperial capital, the library was very large, and the collection was extremely rich, with more than 10,000 volumes, and many of them were unique and unique.
As soon as Lawson arrived, he took a random copy and began to flip through it, and his eyes immediately lit up.
""Mainland Fish Collection", good guy, with photos and pictures, good book!"
The price of such a book is at least 50 crowns a copy, and ordinary people can't get it.
Thinking of the pitiful collection of books in his castle library, and also of his wife Thrandis being a bookworm.
Rosen immediately started to steal books, after all, these miscellaneous studies may not be directly useful, but they can broaden their horizons and increase their experience, which is very beneficial to improving their minds and understanding the world.
He hopes that his beloved otaku wife's life will be more interesting, and he also hopes that the apprentices he teaches will not become childish hillbillies.
So, Rosen quickly flipped through them one by one, entered the books into his adventure journal as quickly as he could, and swept through more than a hundred books in the blink of an eye.
The rise of the sweeping swept was followed by Mrs. Summit's puzzled voice.
"Master Lawson, what are you doing?"
"Oh, I'm looking for a book to read."
"Can't you find one you like after looking for so many books?"
"Well, I'm picky, and I'm looking for books that are rare, curious, but at the same time rigorous. Uh, did I disturb you from reading? ”
"Not really. I'll help you find it too, which kind of one do you want to find? ”
Rosen sighed secretly in his heart, and suddenly felt that this woman was a little nosy, but it was not good to refuse the other party's kindness, so he said casually: "It's better to be history-related, and it's a little-known history." ”
"Understood."
Mrs. Summit helped to find it.
The library is very large, with rows of bookshelves stacked like walls, each more than two meters high.
Rosen searched aimlessly, and when he saw a good book, he swept it into the journal.
Mrs. Summit was looking for Rosen.
Searching for it, the voice of her heart came from the remote corner.
"Let's take a look at this book "Clues of Ancient History", written by the famous explorer Sarmat."
Rosen could only follow the sound, and soon reached the corner, and it happened that Mrs. Summit came out of it with a book, and one did not pay attention, and the two bumped into each other.
Lawson was afraid that the other party would fall, so he subconsciously reached out and hugged her, and as a result, he held her in his arms.
After hugging it, he was about to let go, but Mrs. Summit seemed to be unbalanced and retreated again and again.
She didn't say anything about retreating herself, but also pulled Lawson to retreat with her, causing him to stumble and have to use the hands of several mages to regain his body.
After a few steps, the two retreated to the wall behind the bookshelves.
Rosen's heart moved, and he immediately understood that this woman was deliberate.
She has a mind for herself.
