The surroundings gradually fell silent.

Martinus Ratledge touched on a very sensitive topic, and one that the current spellcasters are really facing.

Whether it is a general finished spell or a variety of spell research, the atmosphere of the entire Faeron now tends to be self-contained, mages who want to obtain a certain spell can often only join a certain spell academy or trade with other mages, and those major spell research results are only circulated in some small circles.

Many mages even rely on joining adventuring parties and exploring the ruins to gain magical knowledge.

There is no spellcaster who does not want to be able to learn the most cutting-edge and complete theory of spells, but that is the equivalent of fighting against the selfishness of human nature, which is too difficult.

Martinus Ratledge also realized that he was talking a little too much, and his smile brought a hint of loss, saying: "Of course, it is difficult, but I believe that this will be the beginning and I hope that this award will be the beginning of a great era." ”

Trish was a little moved, but it didn't look like a previously arranged process, and she suddenly didn't know how to answer.

At this time, there was applause.

A man slowly walked up from the stage, and his voice echoed through the square.

"We don't dare to talk about greatness, but if it is to contribute to your dreams, I am willing to do my part."

The candidates in the audience and the adventurers in the square were stunned for a moment, and they looked at the man who suddenly walked onto the stage.

The other party has distinctive black hair and double eyes, and his facial features are also with exotic charm, and the most striking thing is that the other party's temperament seems calm and deep, making it impossible to take their eyes off his body.

Trish breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but call: "Townson! ”

Immediately, she realized her gaffe and hurriedly said: "Let me introduce to you, this is my captain, and also the planner and owner of the legendary award ceremony, Mr. Townsen." ”

There was an uproar in the audience.

"This is the person who started the legendary award ceremony? Townsend? It's a familiar name. ”

"A member of the legendary dwarf Barn, a member of the squad that previously stopped the Abyss invasion."

"Didn't you hear? Miss Trish calls him Captain! I said that the version I heard at the time was that Townsend was the leader of the squad, not the dwarf Barn. ”

"It doesn't matter now, does it? Important. Now the starting point of all this, is it actually him? ”

Countless voices of discussion echoed the square, mingling into a buzzing sound that made people's eardrums vibrate.

But Townsend still looked the same, he just walked up to Martinus Ratlich's side and said: "This is also the purpose of my legendary award ceremony, I hope that in this way, people can value exploration, knowledge, order and justice, and the development of our world." ”

"The money and honor I can give are insignificant compared to the countless people who have silently contributed to this world, but as long as there is a fire, there will always be descendants who will add to it."

"Mr. Ratledge, I share your belief in the importance of breaking down the barriers of the magic monopoly, and to that end, I intend to build a library in Neverwinter."

"Mr. Ratledge, I share your belief in the importance of breaking down the barriers of the magic monopoly, and to that end, I intend to build a library in Neverwinter."

He paused and looked at the people in the square, "I'm going to keep all the sorcery knowledge I have in the library. These include the research results of the Age of Netherreel, which have been lost, including some legendary spells of the Netherreal Age. ”

There was a sudden silence around.

"Netheril?" Martinus Ratledge exclaimed, and the calm legendary spellcaster finally couldn't hold back and asked, "I sought that knowledge, but most of it has disappeared with the demise of Netheril—"

"Luckily, my team and I got them back." "I don't think this knowledge should be sealed in the dark by evil beings, nor should it be monopolized by certain forces to use it for their own desires, and it should belong to all spellcasters who are committed to the study of spells. ”

"This," Martinus Ratledge was a little incredulous, and he paused before asking, "And if you really want to keep it in the library, what is the price of wanting to observe this knowledge?" ”

This is also a concern of many spellcasters in the audience.

Who wouldn't want to see the results of that glorious magical realm?

"The price?" Townsend smiled, "I hope that those who observe Netherrell's knowledge will have a warm and awe-inspiring heart for knowledge." ”

Martinus Ratledge was dumbfounded.

"That's it? Don't you need to join your side, or pay a lot of money—"

"Mr. Rutledge." Tang Sen interrupted him with a smile: "If that's the case, what difference is there between me and those knowledge monopolies you just opposed?" ”

"This library is free, my purpose is only to open up a path that is at least not so tortuous for researchers in pursuit of truth, and, as I said, it is just a flame, and in order to become a torch for the truth, more people need to add to the fire."

Martinus Ratledge's face turned red suddenly, he realized that his suspicion was undoubtedly a reflection of other mages and even spell schools now, and he instinctively didn't think that anyone would be willing to share such precious knowledge in the open.

But the person in front of me. It is even greater than he imagined, no wonder the other party was able to create such a grand event as the legendary award ceremony.

He was mixed with excitement and guilt in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Mr. Townsen, your mind amazes me, please let me also contribute." ”

He took a deep breath and said, "I am willing to successfully store all the magic knowledge and research I have in the library for everyone to read for free." ”

Such words immediately caused an even greater uproar.

Netheril's knowledge is out of reach and difficult to tell from false to those below, but Martinus Ratledge has a reputation as a legendary mage who has knowledge that will benefit every mage, whether it's a low-ring mage or any other legendary mage.

Let's put it this way, if that library could be built for sure, then mages would no longer have to grovel to curry favor with those schools because of their knowledge, no need to risk their lives to find the ruins, and no need to spend their life savings on the market to buy spells that merchants have speculated for high prices.

Mages from all over the world would flock to that library.

It seems that a new era of mages has really arrived?
