The next morning, Arand went to the Lord's Mansion in Flamel and opened the door to the Lord's office.

The room where the lord of the castle works is extremely large, with neat rows of bookshelves on both sides, and outsiders think they have strayed into a library when they first enter it.

A middle-aged man with gray temples is sitting at a round table at the end of the room, which is also filled with stacks of books and materials, and several assistants are busy writing.

He is Bach Flamel, the lord of Flamel City, the head of the Flamel family, the president of the Alchemy Society's headquarters, and the man who stands at the top of the entire alchemy world in the empire.

"Grow up." Aland came to the round table and saluted respectfully.

Bach had many different capacities, and when discussing matters related to the Alchemy Society, he preferred to be called the president.

"You have ten minutes to tell me what you want to report."

Bach stopped what he was doing, and his deep pale blue eyes immediately looked at Aland.

This morning, Alander made an abrupt visit on the pretext of "reporting on the results of special research", which disrupted his work schedule this morning.

Being in a high position, there are countless things to do every day, and his time planning is accurate to the minute, and ordinary subordinates who want to make an appointment to meet him will have to wait until at least a week later.

However, even in Flammel, the appearance of a "special research" was unavoidable, and it was worth his spare ten minutes to listen to a general report of the results.

"Yes, sir."

Even as a member of Flammel's clan and a director of the Society's headquarters, he rarely had the opportunity to meet the head of the family alone, he took a deep breath and quickly sorted out his words,

"Just yesterday, a report on the results of a super-grade research was sent from the Linfeng City branch, and a second-order magic circle attached to the report used a new rune system, and its size was reduced to less than thirty centimeters as a result......

"Based on the review, I believe that the results of this research have a subversive impact on the science of the circle, and I agree with and uphold the special judgment of the division, and submit this report to you for review."

As he spoke, he presented the circle in his hand along with the report.

The assistant on the side handed it to Bach, and he did not rush to reply to Aland, but directly opened the encapsulated magic circle and glanced at it casually.

And it was at this glance that his movements stopped.

Although his serious face, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years like an antique, did not show much fluctuation, his eyes were taken away by the mysterious array of this pocket magic array, and it was a long time to look at it.

Sensing Bach's unusual silence, even the sound of the assistants turning the pages unconsciously became quieter, and the wall-hung clock made a clearly visible "click" sound in the empty room, and the atmosphere in the office quietly froze.

Seeing the elder's preoccupied expression, Arand quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He is interested in this circle, which means that there is a play.

This is also a matter of course, a brand new rune system that completely transcends the existing era, who will not be confused when they see it?

The more powerful the alchemist, the more shocked they will be at this achievement, because they understand better than anyone how difficult it is to create a self-consistent and complete theoretical system from nothing.

No one present dared to interrupt the Elder Chief's musings, and the time quickly exceeded ten minutes.

Finally, Bach raised his head and said to Aland:

"That's it?"

"Huh?" Arand was startled.

"That's all? Are there any other circles? Bach added unsatisfactorily, "Did he send the rune table of the new system at the same time?" ”

Arand knew that he would be mistaken, so he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied: "No, that master's research is to streamline the "acceleration" circle, and this is all the research results sent by the branch. ”

"It's also ......"

Bach took a deep breath, leaned back in his chair and said, "It's strange that the other party easily leaked all the hole cards."

"However, since he showed off his research in front of us, it means that he has plans to cooperate with us or defect.

"Hmm...... Nolen Wies, a name I've never heard of. Aland, have you investigated him? ”

"After investigation, he was born in Linfeng City, and only became an official alchemist two months ago, and according to the information...... He is only seventeen years old. ”

"Seventeen years old can make this kind of alchemical fruit?" Bach frowned deeply, "Who is his teacher?" ”

If this is not his own grade, he will naturally be suspected of submitting the research results on behalf of his teacher.

"Rasti Vises."

"It's a name I've never heard before...... Is he famous? ”

"No......" Aland was a little sweaty, and he still had a say in Rasti's self-proclaimed opinion.

Rasti specialized in apothery, and was not even a high-level alchemist, and had never shown interest in circle science before, so how could he suddenly become the originator of alchemy to create a new system of circle science?

Obscurity, and then suddenly amaze everyone...... This is not like his character, with the perfection of this new rune system, it will not be completed overnight.

If it was that Rasti, when there was initial progress in his research, he would run back to Flamell, where he would be promoted to a senior alchemist, impressing everyone and fulfilling his life's wish.

Even if it was a new system that was not yet mature, its achievements were enough to make him prosperous and wealthy in Flamel.

Even as an old friend of his, Aland had to admit that it was the work of a seventeen-year-old genius rather than the result of Rasti's work.

However, there was neither a strong academic atmosphere in his native environment, nor was he surrounded by a sufficiently qualified alchemist as his mentor, so it seemed that Nolan's resume was too clean and too abrupt.

He's like ...... Like a genius that popped out of a crack in the stone.

Without a hint, it pierced the night sky like the brightest meteor and burst into everyone's field of vision.

Perhaps this is the true meaning of the word "genius".

"In any case, the new rune system on this circle is of immeasurable value and significance."

Bach looked at the pocket circle in front of him again, "If it is a grassroots alchemist with no roots and no roots, it will be more convenient.

"Flamel will not bury any talented person, invite him to come and be a guest, I will feast him myself, and as for whether he has real talent, we will see when the time comes.

"Just make sure he has the level of knowledge and recognition we want, and we'll promise him all the wealth and honor he wants, and Flamel doesn't mind having one more young legendary alchemist on his land."

Bach's tone was still calm and soothing, as if all he was telling now was the usual little things.

But those who knew him well knew that he had a love for talent, and this was already the most unsparing compliment he could give to his fellow alchemists.

"I am willing to go to Peak City as Flamel's envoy, and invite him to come over as a guest on behalf of Flamel City and the Alchemy Society headquarters."

Arand bowed, and then said, "However, I investigated his information last night, and he is already in a high position in Peak City, and it may be difficult to convince him to defect to Flamel now. ”

Bach flipped to the back page, his eyes slightly condensed.

The war between Ringpeak City and the Prairie People, Norren's creation of a new type of city defense magic guide during the war, and his post-war Bauhinia Medal and his becoming the chief staff of the Ringmont City Lord's Mansion......

This information is not a secret, and it can be unearthed with a little probing from the branch.

Linfeng City awarded him a medal and the position of general staff immediately after the war, and it is not difficult to see the intention of the city lord's mansion to win over, and it also proves from the side that his talent is genuine.

I see, is he doing things for Peak City now......

Speaking of which, some time ago, Flamel received a strange order from Peak City.

That order opened his mouth to ask for the purchase of a full 4w Mel's magic crystals, which was completely beyond the amount of magic crystals that ordinary cities should purchase, so he was specially submitted to him by his subordinates.

Because Linfeng City did not give a sufficient reason in advance, this strange order was naturally rejected by him.

Now it seems that this is most likely a signal from Nolen, who is the chief of staff of Peak, to Flamel City.

It's a deal, and in order to gain knowledge of the new rune system, it seems that the rejected order is going to be re-valued by Flamel.

"It doesn't matter what position he takes to approach us."

Bach thought for a moment and said slowly, "Let's go talk to him first, as long as he is willing to share the new rune technology with us, our side is also willing to provide sufficient support for Peak City, including magic crystals."

"Before the cooperation is negotiated, don't spread the information of the new rune system for the time being. I will discuss the results of this research in a private meeting within the society later. ”

"Yes." Aland commanded and left the office.

Bach looked down at the information in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.

If the current Noren becomes the representative of Peak City, then the nature will change.

This will be a city-to-city transaction and game, rather than a recognition and absorption of individual members by the Society.

This change of identity is actually crucial, because the results of super-grade research are so important that Bach was impressed with them at the first sight.

As long as he can coax Noren to Flamel City, whether it is coercion or inducement, there is always one suitable for him.

But now that he has become the chief of staff of Peak, Noren will be the equivalent of Flamel City on the surface.

Even if he comes, it is estimated that he will pay a high-profile return visit as an envoy of Linfeng City.

With Linfeng City behind him, it will be difficult to use the method of "coercion" to force him to compel him to comply when necessary.

Even though the overall strength of Peak City is the lowest in the Empire, it is still nominally on the same level as Flamel City, and coercing the other party's general staff by force is a serious "diplomatic" problem.

If this is messed up, it will cause a sensation in the Empire, and it will also ruin the prestige that the Alchemy Society has accumulated over the countless years, and there is no room for the slightest mistake.

That young man named Nolan seems to have found a way back for himself......

……

That night, around this pocket circle, a secret meeting was held within the Alchemy Society.

Then, two days later, the City Lord's Mansion of Peak City received an official letter from Flamel City.

The official document was to the effect that "Flamel has received an order application from Peak City, but because the purchase volume is very large, in order to confirm whether you have the intention of reaching a long-term cooperation with Flammel, we have sent an envoy to negotiate with you face-to-face and seek a way of common cooperation." ”

The document was quickly handed over to Nolan, who glanced at it and smiled meaningfully.

There was no news from the Alchemy Society, and there was no mention of the new rune system and magic circle in the official document, but he knew that Flamel's envoy had come to negotiate cooperation with him for this.

Otherwise, why did he just refuse this order a few days ago, but now his attitude has changed 180 degrees, and he has to personally send an envoy to Linfeng City to talk about cooperation?

Peak City is the demand side when it comes to purchasing magic crystals, and it stands to reason that they should have sent an envoy to Flamel.

However, Flamel had a desire to hide the new runes, and he wasn't going to do so.

During this time, the Alchemy Society branch of Peak City had already carried out propaganda under his supervision.

Not only did it give preferential treatment to the alchemists who came to recruit, but it also released the special alchemy technology that the military department of the City Lord's Mansion had mastered greatly streamlined the magic circle and miniaturized the magic guide.

This is equivalent to publicly announcing to the world that Peak City's research in the field of magic guides has ranked among the top of all the forces in the empire.

And this will also put a lot of pressure on the city of Flamel, because it is the city of alchemy, and almost all the major alchemical research results of the Roland Empire in the past are related to Flamel.

In order to acquire this advanced technology, and to ensure his supremacy in the field of alchemy, Flamel was bound to spend a lot of money to exchange technology with Peak City.

At least they have to rub the name of cooperation, and in the future in the history of alchemy, they will also write like this:

"Flamel was the first force to cooperate with Peak City to study the new rune system, and it has also made an indelible contribution to the development of the new era of magic circles."

Nolan doesn't care about this, anyway, as the ancestor who created this new system, no matter how Flamel rubs it, his historical position will be unshakable.

- As long as Flamel could pay a practical enough price, he wouldn't mind sharing the name with him.

After all, Flamel is also a leading force in the alchemy world that is well-known throughout the Roland Empire, and it is not a bad thing to release some good intentions in exchange for friendship between the two sides.

"But...... Isn't that a bit too high-profile? ”

Putting a stack of factory resumes in front of Nolan's desk, Richard, the consultant, asked with some concern.

Compared to the good salary, the alchemist asked him the most about this magical magic circle technique in the past few days.

Everyone was extremely curious about this mysterious technology, which even alarmed the headquarters of the Alchemy Society, and it is believed that it will attract the attention of more forces in the future.

When did Peak City, located in the remote west, receive so much attention? This made him shocked, but also couldn't help but feel uneasy.

The current strength of Peak City is not strong, can we hold this technology?

"When the white raven appeared and the new magic cannon was used for the first time in the war, this technology was no longer a secret, and we had to use it for the greatest benefit, rather than fear him and seal it."

Nolan stood up and looked in Flamel's direction.

"When the new era comes, the old forces will be reshuffled.

"It's a turnaround, and as long as we can seize this opportunity, I'm sure – this time Peak City will be ahead of everyone."
