Chapter 401: Fanaticism

Anyone who has attended his class knows that this is just the old man's self-effacement. His erudition is beyond ordinary people's imagination. It seems that there is no book in this world that he has not read, and there is nothing he does not know.

Copperfield feels that he has been possessed by the goddess of luck recently, and all he sees are big men who he didn't even dare to think about before. Baron Sean, the supreme ruler of the kingdom, is now Abner, the chief speaker of the Warlock Union.

Even if they brag in taverns, few believe in themselves.

Who will be the next big shot to summon him?

Guardian of the Flower Language Plateau, Christine? Brian?

This idea is really crazy.

But it seems that it is not impossible, after all, the benefits they brought back from the Eternal Night Army are not just a little bit, and many things will have an impact on the Huayu Plateau and the rule of the Bryan family.

Although the Grand Duke Krystal had a mediocre life and had been doing nothing since he took the throne, he was able to stand out from the many heirs and sit in his current position, which has already explained a lot of problems. He will definitely respond to this matter, just sooner or later. And I still seem to be the best medium point.

Thinking of this possibility, Sir Copperfield was so excited that he couldn't help himself. Compared with other high-ranking rulers, this is the object of his allegiance. If the other party can ask him to go, then It really took off in one step and regained what it dreamed of.

"Copperfield Gauld, I remember you." The first person to speak was a parliamentary scholar named Antoine.

"The Grand Master still remembers me?" Sir Copperfield looked pleasantly surprised. When he was studying at the Dome of the Sky, he did meet him several times, and he vaguely remembered someone introducing his name to him.

"You were a very thoughtful young man back then. It is our greatest loss that you failed to embark on the path of a bachelor." Regardless of whether the Copperfield that the Grand Master Antoine really memorized or fake, at least the homework was well prepared. in place.

This made Sir Copperfield very moved, but also a little ashamed: "I'm sorry, the students have embarrassed you."

"Don't say that, young man, there is not only one way to learn. If you walk outside, you may learn a lot of things that you can't learn from books." Abner said in his own gentle tone, "Look, if We wouldn't be able to get these goodies without you getting out there."

What he was holding in his hand were two printed books from the Yong Ye Army Commander.

"Thank you for the teaching of the Grand Maester." Sir Copperfield said sincerely, "I was just one step ahead by luck. Even without me, it won't be long before someone else will bring these books."

"Luck is also a kind of ability, not everyone has it. What you do first is what you do first, and no one can take it away." Abner smiled and said, "Young man, can you tell me that your A commodity, where did it come from? How was it obtained?"

"It is my honor to be able to share my story with you Grand Scholars. It starts with the financial crisis of the family I took over..."

Sir Copperfield is very aware of the dispositions of these great scholars, just like reading an autobiography, from the beginning of his family's financial crisis, to how he couldn't resist the temptation of high prices from the Kingsley family, and embarked on trafficking The road of no return for food, in the end, due to the change of the situation, they got on the line with the leader of the Yongye army by accident, and only then did they have these goods.

Sir Copperfield had a good eloquence, and he was talking about his own personal experience, with some irrelevant mentions, mainly around the source of this batch of goods.

Even if these grand scholars didn't say it directly, he still knew what the other party was interested in, because these products themselves were consciously selected by him.

The price of these books is indeed high, but from a purely commercial point of view, Sir Copperfield's business activities are quite ordinary.

Because the Dome of the Warlock Alliance is located on the southwesternmost mountain peak of the Huayu Plateau, thousands of kilometers away from the Swamp of Despair in the northeast.

Many grain merchants know that the profits are huge, but they dislike the long distance and give up. Most of them follow the short-term principle and return to the Swamp of Despair as soon as possible after selling the products that the Yongye Army leader needs. For the second batch of goods, use the shortest time to grab the largest market and seek the greatest benefits. This is what a qualified businessman should do.

However, Sir Copperfield was not a pure businessman from the very beginning. He was in business only to help himself rise again. He saw an opportunity to get online with the Warlock Alliance, even if he gave up some of his benefits, he would not hesitate to do so.

It's just that the effect this time far exceeded his expectations. The Warlock Union gave the highest standard of attention to this special product he brought.

If they are not valued, they have no right to be called one of the smartest people in the world.

The five Grand Maesters patiently listened to Sir Copperfield's story, and Antoine, the Grand Maester who spoke to him first, concluded: "According to the Bachelor's meaning, these products were offered by the Leader of the Eternal Night Army." Did you help sell it?"

"That's right!" Sir Copperfield sighed inwardly. The University of Parliament deserves to be a University of Parliament, and he found the core of the problem at a glance, "The other party should want to open up the new market of Huayu Plateau through our hands. They showed strong confidence in their merchandise, but they did have a reason for it, I have never seen so many books piled up together except in the library at the top of the sky."

"Yes, the other party has found a shortcut to the palace of knowledge. This is the place that makes us most ashamed. We claim to be one of the smartest people in the world, but we never thought about improving our writing tools." This time it was Speaker Abner who sighed, "So, you don't know the production process of these papers and the new transcription method?"

Sir Copperfield shook his head and said: "Sorry, Your Excellency, Grand Maester, I really don't know about this. I have made insinuations, but the division of labor in the Yongye Army Leader is very clear. A merchant is a simple merchant, and a worker is just a worker. I don't know about the knowledge, and I am not qualified to visit their workshops.

This time we did not even get close to the Andes Mountains, the core territory of the Eternal Night Army Commander. They transported the goods to the Danube River for trade. The battle led by the Night Army in the Swamp of Despair has ended. They have temporarily set up the distribution center of the goods in Brother Port, but what we can contact is still only transporting personnel, and there is no way to contact the workshop. "

"The territorial business model, it seems that they have a very strong sense of technological secrecy." President Abner nodded and said, "If it is purely for trade, it is impossible for you to get in touch with their workshops in a short period of time. Young people wait until After the goods are sold, there should be a second trade, right?"

"Naturally." Sir Copperfield cheered up, and after talking for a long time, he finally came to the main topic.

"We want to ask you one thing." Chief Speaker Abner said.

"Scholar, please speak." Sir Copperfield yelled frantically in his heart, I came here all the way for this, come on, let the storm be more violent.

"I want to go to the Eternal Night Army with the young people. It would be even better if I can find a way to introduce the lord of the Eternal Night Army."

Before President Abner could finish speaking, the other four parliamentary maesters lost their voices.

"The chief speaker is going to go in person?"

"This matter is inappropriate. The chief speaker is old and not suitable for traveling."

"Although these new things have far-reaching significance, it is not enough for the chief speaker to go there in person. We can just leave this matter to us."

"That's right, let us handle this matter."

Obviously, the proposal that Chairman Abner just mentioned did not discuss with them beforehand.

Sir Copperfield opened his mouth even more in surprise. Before he came, he had already thought of the impact of this brand new product on the Warlock Union, but he didn't expect it to be so big that Chairman Abner had such an idea.

"In the past, when we had disagreements, they would be resolved through voting. I let me arbitrate this matter, not only the new paper making technology and the new transcription method.

There have been earth-shaking changes in my hometown. I want to go back and have a look before I go to the ground. In a few years, I will not be able to walk until I enter a period of decline like His Majesty Delt. Please allow me to be self-willed for a while. Not a request from the Chief Speaker, but a request from an old man who is about to face death. "Chairman Abner said earnestly.

It was only at this time that Sir Copperfield noticed that Abner, the chief speaker of the Warlock Union, had an out-and-out Andean face, probably because the name of the chief speaker of the Warlock Union was too dazzling to be known. Unknowingly overlooked this point.

Facing an old man's face full of expectations, it is really difficult for them to say the word "no".

"Why don't you let me go with the chief speaker, so that I can take care of you and save you from worrying." Antoine suggested.

"That's the best way."

"If Grand Maester Antoine was with us, we would feel much more at ease."

The other three parliamentary maesters nodded in agreement, obviously they had great confidence in Antoine's force.

"Then I will trouble Grand Maester Antoine." Chairman Abner did not reject the proposal, but turned his head to look at Sir Copperfield and said, "I wonder if it is convenient for Bachelor Copperfield? "

"This is the greatest honor in my life." Sir Copperfield nodded repeatedly, just kidding. All have to give three points of courtesy.

While excited, Sir Copperfield asked cautiously; "I wonder when is it convenient for you to leave, Your Excellency the Speaker?"

"We will move with the bachelor, and the itinerary will naturally be arranged by the bachelor. It only takes three days for me to arrange the affairs at hand. What about Grand Bachelor Antoine?" President Abner turned to look at Antoine .

Antoine hesitated a little and said, "Three days are enough."

Sir Copperfield's eyes flickered and he said: "Although my goods are out, the entourage has traveled thousands of kilometers and needs to take a rest. Why don't we set off in a week?"

"It couldn't be better." Grand Maester Antoine's tense black face showed a rare smile, and he was very satisfied with Sir Copperfield's understanding of current affairs.

"I don't know Bachelor Copperfield, how much do you know about the ruler of the Eternal Night Army? I don't know what the other party likes? It's okay to tell me what the Eternal Night Army looks like in your eyes!" Chairman Abner asked again road.

Facing this new question from Chairman Abner, Sir Copperfield had a thought, remembering the other party's separate explanation when he met Sean, and replied conservatively: "When dealing with the leader of the Eternal Night Army, we almost Being passive, my understanding of them is really limited, but I was lucky enough to meet their ruler. He once told me bluntly that he is interested in isolated books and relics of the ancient Andes Empire. The other party's things can start from this aspect."

The purpose of the Warlock Alliance is very clear, and it is aimed at the new paper making technology and new transcription method led by the Yongye Army.

But with empty teeth, even if Chairman Abner goes out in person, he can't get it from the other party.

Just look at the reactions of the bachelors and university scholars at the top of the sky. Even though the price of the books in the eight carriages that I transported was three times higher than the purchase price, they were still sold out in an instant, and the buyers acted like they took advantage of it. look like.

If it wasn't for Copperfield's consideration of long-term interests, even if the price was doubled, it could still be sold.

How many scholars and people need to study in the world? How huge are the interests involved?

Copperfield had no idea what Sean was interested in, but it wasn't a problem for the League of Warlocks who had been committed to collecting and preserving knowledge.

In the large library of the top of the sky, the rare copies of documents preserved should be the most complete in the whole continent.

"I understand the lone books and the relics of the ancient Andes Empire. Thank you for the information provided by Bachelor Copperfield. The consumption of your party at the top of the sky during this period is all from the Union of Magi." President Abner In a disguised form, an order to evict customers was issued.

"Thank you for the kindness of the chief speaker. If there is nothing else, I will resign first. I will see you in a week." Copperfield did not reject the other party's kindness.

"See you in a week."

After Sir Copperfield left, the Grand Maesters of the Five Warlock Alliance did not disband immediately, but started an internal discussion.

"For this new force, everyone has misjudged it. I didn't expect that they not only hold the strategic weapon of black powder, but also this kind of treasure that can change the progress of human history. If they don't take it out, we can't even imagine it. Come out, paper can still make this look," said Aubrey, another parliamentary maester.

"Yeah, I personally led people to test and analyze this new paper. This paper is made of grass and wood, and I am trying to reverse its production process. However, judging from the softness and smoothness they exhibit, This is a relatively stable product, and it is not a one-day effort. If you want to reverse it, it will not be done in a day or two.

As for the new writing method, what can be analyzed so far is that the ink used by the other party is not the ordinary ink circulating in the market, and other substances are mixed in it, which is clearer and longer lasting. As for how to do a large amount of writing, There is no way to guess, but one thing is certain, it is definitely not hand-written, it is more like printed with a seal! "Scholar Barrow analyzed clearly and logically. He is the head of the Alchemy Department of the Warlock Union.

"Printed with a seal?"

He does not mean that.

Abner hastily looked at the book in his hand, and hurriedly said: "Isn't it just printed? And it's not printed with one seal. You see, there are differences in the writing of the same word in the same book, but The words in the same position in the two books are exactly the same, which is simply arranging countless seals together, and then printing them out page by page, this is really a genius idea.”

At the end, Abner couldn't help laughing, he was happier than having solved a difficult math problem.

It was not a fluke that Abner became the chief speaker of the wise group of the Warlock Union.

His powers of observation and association are far beyond ordinary people.

Xiao En probably never dreamed that the greatest mystery of printing could be deciphered so easily.

Isn't printing just arranging countless seals and printing them into books?

But knowing the principle is one thing, and actually doing it is another.

Just look at the leader of the Yongye army.

The owed changes have been made up, resume a change today, continue to be a hamster to store food, please call me Mr. Hamster in the future!
