Dalglish cried loudly, crying with grief, but intermittently, he still told what had happened to him.

Dalglish claimed to be a scholar, a scholar well-versed in astrology and history. He had gone to sea with a small merchant who had gone overseas to do the pearl business, looking for an opportunity to sail in Port Dean, but unfortunately ended up on a black ship under One-Eye.

They should have been unlucky, the ship was led by One-Eye himself, but when he reached the sea, the merchant was slaughtered as a fat sheep, and all the money he carried naturally belonged to One-Eye.

Seven or eight of the merchant's companions were slaughtered by the pirates and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

This Dalglish was an outlier, for he was not a merchant and had no money. The enraged pirates were about to kill him because he didn't get oil and water out of him, but out of curiosity, One-Eye personally interrogated the Dalglish and learned that he was a scholar, leaving him dead.

When Chen Daolin heard this, he sneered: "You are a person who speaks babblingly, and you are very dishonest!"

He stared into Dalglish's eyes and said slowly, "That one-eyed guy is not a soft-hearted person, why didn't he kill you and leave you alive......? That guy only has gold coins in his eyes! He left you and didn't kill you, there must be something to hide, right?"

After a pause, Chen Daolin continued: "What is the purpose of you being such a scholar as you quietly coming to the East China Sea and going to sea on a black boat with your head and tail hidden? You say that you are an astrologer and a scholar who is proficient in history. But what you learn doesn't seem to have anything to do with going to sea, do you need to go out to sea to observe the stars?"

Dalglish looked at Chen Daolin with a sad face, and his heart struggled and tangled—he was really afraid. The terrible one-eyed pirate, knowing his secret, locked himself up here and tortured him, and now the man in front of him claimed to be not a pirate, but if he told him the truth, he became greedy and continued to kidnap himself, then ......

"Don't you want to tell the truth?" Chen Daolin simply sneered: "Then it's up to you, although I occupied this ship, you have nothing to do with me." Since you won't tell me the truth, I don't need to show you my kindness. I'll keep you locked up here. Fend for yourself. ”

"Wait, wait!!! Screaming at the top of his throat, "Please, please give me a little mercy!"

"Kindness?" Chen Daolin smiled deliberately: "Of course I have a benevolent heart, but why should I give you mercy? You and I are not related, although I am not a bad person, but I am not a good person. If it's not good, why should I save you?"

"I ......"

This Dalglish hesitated again and again, seeing that Chen Daolin had turned around and left, watching Chen Daolin take a few steps, Dalglish finally panicked, and he quickly screamed: "Master." Please, my lord, don't go! I say, I say!!"

With a thud, Dalglish was already on his knees.

Chen Daolin turned around. Glancing at the sailor pirate beside him, he lost a look at him, who was very clever and quickly trotted away.

"Well, it looks like you've got some secrets. Now it's just you and me here, you can say it. Chen Daolin smiled leisurely. Then there was a hint of threat in his tone: "But you'd better be careful, I don't like people to lie to me, you only have one chance, if you tell a lie, I naturally have my judgment, if I think you're lying to me, you're ready to rot here to death!"

"I don't dare!" Dalglish cried.

Then the guy knelt there and began to tell about himself.

His first words shocked Chen Daolin!

"My name, sir, is Dalglish, and my full name is Dalglish Borah. I'm from the Imperial Capital, I'm not lying to you, I'm really a scholar, I used to work for the great and sacred Imperial Magical Society, I used to be a research scholar in the Imperial Magical Society. ”

Imperial Magic Society?!

Chen Daolin's eyes lit up immediately!!

......

In the magical field of the Roland Empire, there are three major organizations.

The most famous, of course, is the "Magic Guild", which is the oldest organization of magicians in the Roland Continent, and the most authoritative and influential alliance of magicians. The headquarters of the Magic Guild is located in the imperial capital, and generally speaking, all human magicians on the continent are subject to the control of the Imperial Magic Guild, and the greatest authority of the Imperial Magic Guild is that they are the most authoritative and the only authoritative organization that is qualified to certify and issue magical level status.

The president of the Magic Guild has always been considered the spiritual leader of all magicians on the continent.

In the tradition of the Roland Continent, the president of the Magic Guild is a giant who can compete with the Emperor of the Empire and His Majesty the Pope of the Church of Light!

In fact, before the era of the rise of the Tulip Family, for thousands of years, the pattern of the Roland Empire was: the royal family, the Temple of Light Church, and the Magic Guild. The Emperor, the Pope, and the President of the Magic Guild are also recognized as the Big Three!

However, this situation has changed dramatically since the tulip family pouted.

The legendary imperial hero Tulip First Duke stood firmly in the camp of the royal family, and he did several things, one was to weaken the power of the Church of Light, let the imperial power overpower the divine power, and let the Imperial Church of Light gradually decline, and no longer have a threat to the imperial royal family.

And the other thing he did was to weaken the influence of the Magic Guild! Weaken the Magic Guild's authority and traditional monopoly on the wizarding world, so that the influence of the Magic Guild was greatly reduced.

And the final situation was to determine the monopoly of imperial power and build a stable centralized power.

As for how Du Wei weakened the divine power, if it was against the Church of Light, that was another matter.

Let's talk about how the Magic Guild has been weakened.

The reason why the magic union is strong is because of the tradition of the Roland Empire, where magicians are privately selected by the old magicians themselves to accept outstanding and talented people as disciples, and the masters and apprentices privately teach and receive magic from generation to generation.

This approach is conservative and backward. It is very strict and restricts the development of magical civilization. Imagine, this kind of method of taking apprentices by teachers, in the process of teaching, every magician cherishes himself, attaches great importance to the view of the portal, and some powerful invention or breakthrough in the field of magic, and he will never show it lightly, he keeps himself to press the bottom of the box, and finally teaches the disciples he values...... This method is too backward, in the process of inheritance. It's easy to lose the lineage, and if a teacher accidentally encounters an apprentice with limited talent, he'd rather let his magic skills rot. I don't want to teach it to outsiders!

The progress of the magical civilization of the Roland Empire for thousands of years has not been very large, and this backward inheritance model is a big obstacle.

But this backward way of inheritance has brought about an effect: the authority of the magic union!

Because of the backward way of inheritance, the development of magical civilization has not been very good. As a result, the number of mages on the continent is scarce. And the number of magicians is scarce. This has caused the preciousness of the group of magicians, and the preciousness of magicians has made the status of the Magician Guild, the authoritative organization of magicians, extremely important.

It's important enough to compete with royalty or the Church of Light!

On top of that, the Wizards' Guild has a monopoly on this precious "resource" of magicians. In order to gain the support of the magicians, the imperial family must make enough "concessions" to the magician union.

However, this situation was born in the first Duke Tulip. was broken.

The original Duke Tulip's method of dealing with the Magic Guild was simple: break the monopoly and establish a magic academy!

Isn't your magic union stubborn and traditional for private teaching? Then I will establish a large school system to train magicians on a large scale with a more advanced and scientific school system!

Establishment of the Academy of Magic. So that the magician is no longer taught in private, but makes this profession can be "cultivated on a large scale"!

To put it simply, the so-called magic academy is actually a kind of "special vocational school" to put it bluntly, although magic makes this profession destined to be very scarce because of its strict talent restrictions. But the school model on a large scale. Yes, in just one hundred years, the number of magicians in the Roland Empire has increased nearly tenfold!

Cultivating mages is no longer the "patent" of the Wizardry Guild. And batches of magicians trained by the royal family and grassroots magicians born from commoners have emerged, which dilutes the authority of the magic union.

In addition to the establishment of the Academy of Magic, the second killer weapon thrown out by the original Duke Tulip against the Magic Guild is ......

Society of Magic.

The Magic Society is a very special existence, on the one hand, it is not an organization similar to the Magic Guild or the Magic Academy, which specializes in training magicians, and the Magic Society itself does not have the function of cultivating magicians.

To put it more clearly, the establishment of the Academy of Magic is to cultivate a group of new magicians who are different from the tradition.

And the establishment of the Magic Society is to divide and win over the internal division of the Magic Guild!

The Magical Society, a purely "academic" organization similar to the academic study of magic, established a "sharing system" by the original Duke Tulip, which broke the traditional view of magicians in the Roland Continent that they cherished their own mastery or magical achievements.

Du Wei first recruited a few but well-known magicians to establish this society, persuaded them to contribute their precious magical achievements as a "start-up capital", and then used this to attract other mainland magicians. Any magician who is willing to contribute his or her magic to the Magic Society can share and receive the magic results of other magicians according to the established hierarchy of sharing.

In other words, if you take out the results of your own magical research, you can exchange them for the magical research results of other magicians.

Most magicians, in fact, are essentially the same as those old-fashioned scientists in the real world who study science and technology, magicians value the mysteries of magic research more than the worldly power and wealth, and in order to get the coveted magic breakthrough, many magicians are willing to contribute their own magic achievements in exchange for breakthroughs in other magical fields that they need.

And just like that, the Magical Society was founded.

More and more magicians are joining the Magical Society, contributing their own magical achievements in exchange for the work of others. And the Magical Society serves as this "academic" organization. The results of magical research stored inside, and the technical reserves of magical civilizations, are growing more and more!

After more than 100 years of development, it has gradually become a national reserve center for the study of magical research.

The Magic Society does not directly train magicians, but it can attract the support of magicians on the mainland. Because any magician, no matter how talented you are, will always encounter various problems and troubles on the road of studying magic, and a person's energy is limited, and he wants to make a breakthrough. Sometimes they have to turn to the Magical Society to find a solution to their problems from the vast reserve of magical results - in exchange, the magician himself has to contribute some of his own magical results.

......

"You...... You're actually working for the Magic Society?"

Chen Daolin was really shocked!

Magical Society, that kind of place. How could he not know? Mrs. Stone's memory had already told the high status of the Magic Society very clearly! That kind of place was almost like a palace in the heart of the magician!

"Could it be that you are also a magician, Dalglish?" Chen Daolin's expression was much more solemn, and his tone also revealed a hint of caution.

Dalglish smiled bitterly, then shook his head and sighed, "No." Dear Lord, I am not a magician myself, and although I am very interested in magic, I have not embarked on the path of magic due to the limitations of my talents. I'm just an academic, to be exact. I'm only one who works for the Magical Society, and I'm responsible for organizing the various reserves of magical materials in the Society...... Clerical. ”

Chen Daolin was a little puzzled at first, but he thought about it immediately. You get it.

Such a large magic society has a huge amount of magic data, and such a huge amount of data needs to be managed, organized, and classified. It also needs to be maintained on weekdays......

It's like a large national museum library, with so many precious documents. Somebody has to do the work, right?

But where do the people who do these things come from?

Naturally, it is impossible for magicians to do these "boring jobs", and every magician's time is precious, and most of their time must be spent on magical research. How is it possible to come and do this kind of librarian work?

You know, the number of magicians is already very scarce.

But someone has to do these things.

Although magicians don't do it, they can't just find a group of ordinary people to do it, right?

You must know that the magic materials stored are all precious magical research results, and they are all some profound magical knowledge. Ordinary people may not be able to recognize all the words, how can they do such important management work?

If something goes wrong, or if there is damage or something missing, the damage is really immeasurable.

Therefore, the Magic Society has recruited a special group of people to do this kind of thing:

To put it in one simple word, it is: intellectuals.

Scholar.

Only these educated, well-educated, well-educated, at least literate, reasonable, and learned people can do such an important job.

Dalglish in front of him is one of them.

As a young man he was a scholar of astrology and history, and he was also a lover of natural sciences - as he himself called himself.

And after getting a job in a place like the Magic Society, Dalglish's fate changed dramatically.

The Magical Society's remuneration is excellent, and although these "administrators" are not magicians, they are also learned scholars, and they are respected, and the work they do is also very important, and the remuneration provided by the Magical Society is also very generous.

He had the happiest time of his life in the Academy of Magic: he was well paid, respected, and at the same time able to read a vast sea of magical materials to satisfy the intellectual curiosity and curiosity of a scholar.

Because, although you can't become a magician because of your limited magical talent, as a scholar, you still have a strong curiosity and desire for knowledge about magical magic. Even if they can't become magicians themselves, scholars like Dalglish are still willing to study magic.

So, he took a position in the Magical Society. There are unique conditions.

He became a researcher of magic who was not a magician.

......

Dalglish enjoyed his life, and while managing magical materials and precious documents, he was given many convenient opportunities to read things that ordinary people couldn't reach. A lot of mage's research results, notes on magical experiments, research conjectures in certain fields of magic, and so on.

These precious things, materials that are unimaginable to outsiders, Dalglish has the opportunity to access, and can read a considerable part of them.

Of course, the days in the Magical Academy are free. But the secrecy mechanism is also very tight.

Dalglish spent several years at the Academy of Magic, and at the same time he gradually developed a deep understanding of magic: only theoretically, of course.

Especially as a lover of natural sciences, Dalglish is interested in magical potions. In other words, he developed a strong interest in the traditional so-called "potions", and many years of contact and his own amateur research made him have a deep knowledge and understanding of magic potions.

And then something happened......

......

As Dalglish spoke, Chen Daolin's expression became more and more serious.

"I ...... I saw something in a note that interested me. Dalglish finally got to the point: "It was a very special note. We find it a bit difficult to classify it. The note is supposed to be in the category of magical potions, but the content of the note is not limited to potions, but also contains a lot of natural science discussions. Obviously, the magician himself who wrote that note must have been a learned miscellaneous scholar, and he must have been in the process of studying various living plants. There are many interesting things found outside of magic, and some of the most important ones are a kind of immature speculation and preliminary experimentation. ”

"What kind of speculation? What kind of test?" Chen Daolin asked closely.

"A record of that note. The magician tried to find a material that could replace the Mana Crystal. Because all along, magicians have used various gems, magic crystals, and even magic cores taken from demonic beasts as a supplement to various magical powers. But whether it is gemstones or crystals, they all belong to the category of minerals. These things are scarce, and they are not easy to mine. The most important thing is that although with the development of thousands of years, the ore vein resources on the continent have been basically developed, these resources are non-renewable, and some of them are mined less, although they have not been exhausted yet, but there will always be a day when they will be completely used up in the future. As the mineral resources of this gem-type crystal type are gradually depleted, what should the future magicians do?"

Chen Daolin smiled, he didn't say anything.

Dalglish sighed and continued: "In addition to mineral resources, the extraction of the Demon Beast Demon Core is even more difficult, the Demon Core of the high-level Demon Beast is very precious and rare, because it is too dangerous to hunt the high-level Demon Beast, even if a powerful magician does it, there is a great risk. The most important thing is that the frozen forests in the north are occupied by alien races, and it is difficult for humans to go to the frozen forests to hunt demonic beasts on a large scale. So, in addition to minerals and the core of Warcraft, if a new alternative magical material can be found, it will be a great event that can leave a glorious page in the history of magic! In my opinion, the magician who made these studies and conjectures was really a powerful person with excellent vision and foresight. ”

"And then, what did you find in that note?" Chen Daolin said, although his tone was as calm as possible, in fact, his breathing couldn't help but be a little short!

There is no doubt that if a new magic material can be found that can replace the magic crystals and various gems, it will definitely be ...... Definitely an immeasurable asset!!

Dalglish looked at Chen Daolin, he hesitated for a moment, and took a deep breath: "The note I saw didn't give a perfect answer, it just put forward a guess with some possibility. The magician who wrote the note listed several alternatives that he thought were possible, but later he overturned them one by one, because some of the things listed were more precious and rare than minerals, some of which had been proved to have no additional properties of magic, and some of which would even bring some dangerous consequences, in short, were not very suitable. And in the end...... The note suggests something that is a possibility......"

Chen Daolin's heart suddenly moved, and he vaguely guessed an answer, he looked at Dalglish, and almost blurted out:

"Pearl?!"
