Lord of War

"Do you know what that blueprint is?"

It was originally a sentence Sean murmured to himself, but she didn't expect that Paqiuli next to her had such sharp ears that she actually listened to what Sean said in such a low voice.

Sean glanced at Paqiuli, and knowing that this woman was from the Haitham Research Institute and was also a lunatic with another name, Sean didn't dare to underestimate this woman, so he had no choice but to answer: "Da Qi... There is a guess."

"Guess?" Paqiuli frowned slightly, "It's best not to say such irresponsible words casually."

Paqiuli's words were a bit harsh, and there was an absolute gap between her and her previous image. However, Xiao En expressed his understanding of this. Scholars from the Temple of Wisdom, as long as they are not those who want to pretend to be famous but are really talented and practical people, as long as they stay for a long time, they will hate the ambiguous guessing attitude. A group of wise people who pursue the truth and the truth.

"Before I saw that blueprint, I was really just guessing." Sean replied calmly, not at all impatient with Paqiuli's attitude.

"Then what's the basis for your guess?" However, Paqiuli still pursued and asked.

Sean glanced at Paqiuli, it was really difficult for him to answer this question.

It can't be said that his guess is based on a rumor he saw on the forum back then, right? When such words were spoken, let alone whether Paqiuli would believe them, even he himself felt that such words were very insincere. Maybe this Paqiuli won't say anything now, but a lunatic who came out of the Haiersen Institute and is a woman, who knows if she will be so cautious that she will turn around and design a bunch of traps to harm herself.

You must know that she has considered plots such as framing and assassination before, and the former has already been carried out.

Therefore, at this moment, Sean would rather give Paqiuli the impression that he was very arrogant than casually make an excuse to perfuse her.

After all, someone who can win the favor of another Haytham Institute scholar known as the circle interpreter always has some arrogant qualifications.

Sure enough, after seeing that Sean didn't answer, Paqiuli frowned. Although she didn't look very happy on her face, at least she was not hostile: "It's the same virtue as Conan, always saying that there is only one truth, and if you don't find it." Before the truth, he looked like he would not tell even if he was beaten to death."

Sean was a little ashamed, but at least he managed to get over it in this regard.

At this moment, Xiao En's desire to see the mysterious blueprint is probably stronger than the people who came here for this blueprint.

Fortunately, the road didn't seem long. After entering the second floor of a building that Sean hadn't visited before, Soma, who was leading the way, finally opened a door.

This is a very traditionally furnished meeting room.

There are no extravagant and exaggerated decorations. There is a long table in the meeting room, and ten people can sit around it on both sides and at the end.

In addition, there are about 20 chairs in the part of the meeting room near the wall. These positions should be the seats for the secretarial characters participating in the meeting to take notes. After that, there are no other decorations in the entire room.

At this time, there were many people sitting in the room.

Among them, Marquis Jeles and Master Rhoda had already taken their seats, and there were two other people who seemed to be from the Mage Guild. What makes people a little bit concerned is that these two mages are actually a combination of one old and one young.

The old one is probably half a hundred years old or even older, because Sean can't feel the depth of the other party's strength at all, which proves that the other party is at least a gold-level mage; Sean is a few years older, but he also has the same problem as ordinary magicians, that is, he is so arrogant that he is almost defiant, but his strength is very close to Sean's, the upper silver peak.

In addition to these four people sitting on the chairs by the long table, there were also three middle-aged men sitting by the long table. However, these three people are obviously ordinary people, because the breath fluctuations in strength are almost the same as Jeles, Rhoda, and Patchouli. Sean knows that one of them is Baron Yeros, and the other two should also It is also a person who also has a title, but it is not known who is representing this secret meeting.

As for other people, there are quite a few, as many as ten, but six of them are of the strength of the upper silver peak, and the other four are also ordinary people. Just looking at the notebooks and quills in the hands of these four ordinary people, it is not difficult to guess what roles these people are playing.

The arrival of Soma, Sean, Paqiuli, Christina and others instantly increased the number of people in the room to twenty-six.

But soon, Sean noticed a problem.

Except that Soma only brought Qaqi in and Master Rhoda was alone, everyone else was accompanied by at least one high-ranking silver peak master, especially those few nobles who were accompanied by two High-ranking silver master. Of course, in Sean's eyes, the strength of these people is naturally not worth mentioning. The only ones who can really be regarded as having combat effectiveness are probably Christina and the young magician whose aura is hardly inferior to Sean's.

Thinking of this, Sean turned his head to look at Paqiuli, only to see that she had already chosen a seat on the long table with a calm face, and the two high-ranking silver masters following her also unceremoniously challenged her. He took two chairs closer to Patchouli and sat down. At this time, Sean unexpectedly discovered a phenomenon: among the two attendants of Paqiuli, the breath of the person on the left may be a little weaker than that of himself and the magician, but it was emitted by him inadvertently when he glanced at the people in the conference room just now. That ruthless killing intent was not inferior to him at all.

This guy is obviously a real master who has been fighting for a long time!

When Soma glanced at the chair sitting on the right side of the long table, which is next to the Marquis of Nales, his face obviously looked a little better. At least Paqiuli Boulder did not overwhelm the host. Sit in the first place, otherwise the Hastings family will really lose face. It's just that Sean is very clear that it's not that Patchouli knows how to take into account the face of the Hastings family, but that she just wants to say hello to Jeles.

Sure enough, when Jeles saw Patchouli, the look on his face was obviously shocked. He didn't recover until after Patchouli was seated, but he turned his eyes to Sean. And Sean sighed helplessly, then nodded first, then shook his head, which meant that he already knew Paqiuli's identity, but he didn't know how Paqiuli received the news and appeared on the here.

"Everyone came from the same place. Don't I know the information you know?" Paqiuli smiled. It’s just an internal conflict, and it’s relatively polite on other occasions, “Why don’t we cooperate first?”

Hearing Paqiuli's words, Soma's heart skipped a beat.

"My partner is the Yeros family." Yeles said. After hearing Jeles' words, Soma's face returned to normal.

"That's it, then it seems that we can only be competitors." Paqiuli didn't care too much, and smiled, "Is your participant your granddaughter?" Yeles Wangzi glanced at Paqiuli, He didn't answer. Silence is undoubtedly a counterattack technique. But Paqiuli looked like a winner, she raised the corners of her mouth a little proudly, then turned her head to look at Sean, and said with a smile: "So how about Viscount Fran, do you want to join hands with me once? Half of the research results will be shared with you." oh."

Sean, who had just taken his seat, heard this, but he smiled friendly and didn't answer.

It's just that he knows very well in his heart that if this thing is really that thing as he guessed, I'm afraid this is not something that Jeles or Patchouli can eat, maybe they really want to cooperate once.

"Viscount Fran is one of us." Jeles couldn't see it, and finally reminded him. The so-called us naturally refers to the line of regenerated ones, but Soma obviously misunderstood what Jeles said.

After seeing everyone seated, Soma coughed lightly to attract attention. In order to prevent Patchouli from knowing what would happen in a while, he immediately said: "Since everyone is here, I will Let's not talk nonsense, let's go directly to the topic." Hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Soma. This time, in order to maintain the superficial fairness, the Hastings family could not participate in the head-on competition for the mysterious blueprint, so the Yeros family could only come forward. Although everyone present knew that Yeros was a loyal dog who obeyed orders, the aristocrat always liked to make a fig leaf when doing things, at least it looked better, so no one broke this tacit understanding.

"Everyone who participated in the meeting this time came around this mysterious blueprint, but because its value is completely immeasurable, and considering that there are people from the Mage Guild among the people present, we will not hold an auction this time." Soma pointed directly to the key point of the topic, completely ignoring the important role played by Master Luoda, "Instead, it is a contest. Everyone who is interested in blueprints can send up to two people to participate in the battle, and the strength is limited. For high-rank silver and below, the person who wins in the end can take this blueprint." Hearing this, Xiao En was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood why everyone would bring two high-rank silver masters to appear.

However, thinking of this, Xiao En glanced at the mage from the Mage Guild. The other party only brought a high-ranking silver peak mage without any melee occupations. Isn't this a little too self-important? Or, does this young magician have very powerful strength?

"However, before the official competition, according to the rules, we will conduct an open public appraisal of this mysterious blueprint. At this time, if we think this blueprint is not worth fighting for, then we can also give up this competition." Soma The voice of speaking again brought Sean's attention back, "I'm here to remind everyone that this competition is not a joke, but a real competition, so the loser is likely to need The price you pay is your own life, please think carefully before deciding whether to participate in the competition."

Facing Soma's words, the atmosphere in the arena was still very silent and calm, obviously no one planned to give up. Soma was obviously not surprised by such a result. He waved his hand, and Master Rhoda immediately put the mysterious blueprint that he had been carrying with him on the long table in the conference room, and then unfolded it completely. .

After the blueprint was unfolded, it showed a square shape, with a length and width of one meter. The scale of this blueprint was obviously a bit too big and outrageous. But it can also be clearly seen from the material of the drawing that this is by no means an ordinary material.

"Ghost... dragon skin!" The old magician was already a little excited when he saw this blueprint. Hearing the magician's words, everyone's eyes became more eager when they looked at the blueprint.

And at this time, the magician also realized that he had slipped his words due to his emotional turmoil, and a look of annoyance appeared on his face.

Sean's eyes also followed the trend. If the material of this blueprint is really dragon skin, Xing, apart from anything else, just one square meter of dragon skin is already priceless. After all, sub-dragons are rare in the Miracle Continent, but the real giant dragons have long since disappeared. It is said that they died one after another in the Age of Ashes because they could not bear the harsh climate and environment on the mainland. He has already left the world plane of Pai, and if he hasn't appeared for tens of thousands of years, he may have lost his way back.

The so-called dragon skins on the mainland are actually dragon skins of sub-dragons. Although they can be regarded as relatively rare, it is definitely not enough for this magician to be agitated to such an extent. And the people present are all human beings, and from the excitement of this magician, it can be judged that the material of this blueprint is by no means the dragon skin of a sub-dragon, but the real dragon skin of a giant dragon.

It might be impossible to make a leather armor for such a one-meter-square giant dragon skin, but it is of course possible to make it into a small dragon skin vest, or it is definitely not a problem to make it into wristbands and the like. So even if these nobles didn't know what the contents of the drawings were, the dragon skin alone was enough to make them fight. After all, the contents of the drawings could still be rubbed.

In fact, given the amount of knowledge these nobles are so simple that even scholars and magicians feel barren, they certainly don't know that this is absolutely impossible.

Dragon skin is the best carrier of magic and divine power.

Since this blueprint needs to use dragon skin as a carrier, it proves that the blueprint itself contains powerful magic or divine power, and ordinary blueprints obviously cannot rub the contents of the blueprint at all. This is also the reason why those extremely high-level precious blueprints in the game are so rare, because it is not so simple to bear the energy essence that may be contained in the blueprints.

Of course, in the real world, it is better than the game, that is, at least one drawing like this will not be used less than one.

As long as this drawing is not completely destroyed, it can be read and used by countless people.

The reason why the aged magician was so excited just now is because he has already seen that since this blueprint uses a real dragon skin as a load, the content recorded in it is by no means simple. Similarly, it can be proved that the inheritance of this blueprint can be traced back at least before the Age of Ashes, and it may even be the Age of Dawn.

Yeles, Patchouli, and the old magician are not as reserved and pretentious as other nobles—of course, even if they gather around to look at this blueprint, they will not understand it at all. What is documented above. So at this moment, only Jeles and Patchouli, two scholars from the Hayerson Research Institute, and the mage from the Mage Guild surrounded this mysterious drawing.

At this moment, Sean suddenly felt a burst of hostility.

He followed the hostile gaze extremely sharply, but happened to see the contemptuous gaze that the young magician was withdrawing. The other party obviously didn't expect Xiao En's sense to be so keen, and he was slightly stunned for a moment. After all, a magician is a profession that relies a lot on perception, and it is precisely because of this that he relies on his strong spiritual perception to form a mental state to the people in the room. Suppress, and then observe each other silently.

With the ability of this magician, he naturally didn't know that Xiao En couldn't comment with normal eyes at all.

Since returning from the wild land, Xiao En's spirit has reached a high of sixty-nine points, and he still has the will to increase by 20% from the immortal obsidian he obtained from the gathering of evil thoughts, so he wants to deal with If Sean forms a perceptual suppression, it is only possible unless he is at the level of that mage. It is simply impossible for a mere high-ranking silver magician to use mental power to blind Xiao En's perception.

However, after finding out that he was seen through, the young magician quickly returned to his previous haughty attitude, and he even deliberately hummed lightly to show his inner disdain.

Sean responded with a sneer, with the same arrogant and contemptuous attitude. He already knew now that since the way to compete for this blueprint is to pass a competition, if the mage guild wants to seize this blueprint, this young mage will definitely end. Sean certainly has the opportunity to teach him a lesson. In fact, the only thing that really made Sean feel troublesome in this conference room was the entourage brought by Patchouli. As for the others, including Christina and the young magician, they were not accepted. Sean took it seriously.

It's just that now, thanks to the young magician, Sean knows the weakness of that Patchouli entourage.

And at this moment, Jeles, Patchouli and the young magician finally finished observing the mysterious drawing. Judging from the expressions on the faces of the three of them, it is obvious that the three of them have gained something, but it is difficult for Xiao En to judge which aspect of the specific gain, but the only thing he can be sure of is that The gains of Jeles and Patchouli are absolutely different, because one is specialized in magic circles, while the other is specialized in alchemy.

As soon as Paqiuli's intoxicated look disappeared, she saw Sean, almost as soon as she saw Paqiuli's sudden playful expression, Sean already knew that something was going to go wrong. Sure enough, Patchouli smiled without any suspense: "Viscount Fran, don't you want to take a look?"

Hearing this, Yeles' eyes also brightened: "Yes, Viscount Fran, you should also take a look at this blueprint.

At this moment, Shuen really wanted to scold Jeles for being a teammate like a pig!

Didn't he see that Paqiuli had bad intentions at all at the moment? And Yeles is still assisting at this time, is his head so easy to get?

"Haha." But at this moment, the young magician suddenly burst into laughter, "What viscount is this? I'm sorry, your name is too difficult to pronounce, I really can't remember it....But, you Can you really understand the contents of that blueprint? After all, you are still so young, and you are not as mature and full of life wisdom as other nobles here."

Because of their special status, magicians can at least receive the treatment of Viscount Rong Yu.

MM

In terms of title, this magician is equal to Sean, and his speaking skills are not weak. While belittling Sean, he raised several other nobles present, even Baron Yeros, which is natural. Will not be the target of all nobles.

However, it is obvious that the target of his provocation today is completely wrong.

Just when the aged magician looked calm and even showed disdain in his eyes, the faces of Jeles and Patchouli turned gloomy at the same time.

Before Jeles could speak, Patchouli, who had a changeable personality, was the first to attack: "Are you looking down on the scholars of the Temple of Wisdom?"

"What? Scholar? Him?" The smile on the face of the young grinder suddenly froze.

The relationship between the Mage Guild and the church has never been so harmonious. After all, the reason for the outbreak of the Age of Ashes was the war between magic and magic. Only the Temple of Wisdom is an exception, because the predecessor of almost any magician is a scholar who has been recognized by the Temple of Wisdom, so any magician in name should actually be regarded as a student educated by the Temple of Wisdom. Therefore, the relationship between the Mage Guild and the Temple of Wisdom has always been good.

However, because of the problem of professionalism, the distinction between magicians, professors, and mentors came about later.

Hearing that Sean was actually a scholar, and was favored by both Patchouli and Jeles at the same time, the elderly mage immediately knew that this young man's identity was probably not ordinary. After all, he was also a scholar in the past, so he knows very well that there is an express rule in the Temple of Wisdom, that is, if the senior and the junior are interested in a piece of material at the same time, they must give priority to the senior, unless the junior is a certain aspect. Specialists in the field.

The mage didn't know the identities of Paqiuli and Yeles, but seeing that the other party was able to get up and observe the blueprint at the same time as him, and his face was also rewarded, which proved the two people's identity. Identity is by no means simple.

Magicians are not mentally retarded, of course they know the meaning of this very well.

So, the wizard coughed lightly, and said in a neutral tone, "Wen Qi, what about the etiquette I usually teach you? Go back and copy the apprentice's notes for punishment."

"Yes." Of course, the young magician named Wen Qi knew that his mentor was stepping him down, so he immediately nodded to admit his mistake, but he looked at Sean even more with hatred from the corner of his eye.

In fact, until now, this young magician did not understand why he hated and disliked this young nobleman so much.

Paqiuli and Jeles are naturally dissatisfied with the way the mage was treated, but this is the other party's family business after all, and it has already given them enough face, so of course they cannot continue with this matter Arguing endlessly. It's just that at this moment, whether it's Jeles, Paqiuli or even this mage, it's very clear that the next competition may not be so easy, but the mage is not as good as his apprentice. Very confident.

As for Sean, since he has been named at the same time by the analysts of the magic circle and the creators of the free style at the same time, and they have also come forward to protect Sean's reputation at the same time, Sean naturally has to get up and observe this blueprint to show his respect for his predecessors. respect. Of course, in fact, Sean himself is also very interested in this blueprint, so there is no need for Paqiuli and Jeles to remind him, Sean will actually come to check this blueprint.

Soon, Sean walked to the middle of the table, and in front of him was the mysterious drawing that was making a lot of noise.

The blueprint does depict a formation similar to a magic formation, but there are many special marks on it. This is indeed not the category of a magic formation, because there are no magic nodes. On the surface, it is indeed a magic formation. It's just that everyone knows that in this world now, except for the two inherent god formations of the St. Joels Empire that can still be activated, even if the god formations are built, it is completely impossible to activate them, because they lack the most critical power core.

And the power core of the Divine Formation, the special rune formed by the condensed divine power, is far from a problem that people in this world can solve.

But when Xiao En saw the magic formation recorded on this mysterious blueprint, his pupils suddenly opened, and the calm look on his face changed instantly. And because of the dispute between Paqiuli, Jeles and the magician just now, everyone who was looking at Sean at this moment immediately understood what Sean had gained from this mysterious blueprint. , I am afraid that it is much bigger than Jeles, Patchouli and that wizard!

Otherwise, he would never show such a look.

After all, the people present are all human beings, and they can easily capture and judge the other party's true thoughts. The expression on Xiao En's face right now is not fake at all.

Unlike the flickering shocked expression on the face of the mage, Jeles and Patchouli both had expressions of course. It's just that the two people's natural confidence is completely different: Jeles thinks that he can win the favor of Professor Boney, and it is normal to find the hidden secrets from it. After all, their research results are also because of Shaw. En's reminder was able to speed up the completion: As for Paqiuli, she thought of what Sean said in the aisle before, which proved that Sean did have a basis to deduce the content of this mysterious drawing. It's just that Paqiuli is curious about where Sean got the theoretical basis from.

As for Sean, at this time, he had no idea what the people present were thinking, and he only had one thought in his heart.

What is recorded in this blueprint is really just as I guessed, it is the product of that cross-age!

The author's original words: 7K words big chapter, I think the integrity of the plot of this chapter is very important, so I won't split it up. Hmm... It's a normal update of two chapters in one, not to mention three in one, the debts owed are slowly paid off, anyway, I guess everyone should get used to my debts, right? Ah ha ha……
