Chapter 495 The Beginning of a Great Era

The surrounding gradually became quiet.

Martinus Rutledge touched on a very sensitive topic, and it is also a problem that current spellcasters are indeed facing.

Whether it is general finished spells or various spell research, the atmosphere in Faerun now tends to be complacent. Mages who want to obtain a certain spell can often only join a certain spell academy or trade with other mages, and those major The results of his magic research are only circulated in some small circles.

Many mages can only obtain magic knowledge by joining adventure teams and exploring ruins.

There is no spellcaster who does not hope that he can learn the most cutting-edge and complete magic theory, but that is equivalent to confronting the selfishness of human nature, which is really difficult.

Martinus Rutledge also realized that he had said a bit too much, and his smile showed a hint of disappointment, saying: "Of course, this is difficult, but I believe that this will be a beginning, and I hope, This award can be the beginning of a great era."

Cui Xi was a little touched, but it didn't look like the previously arranged process. She suddenly didn't know how to answer the call.

At this time, there was applause.

A man slowly walked up from the stage, and his voice spread throughout the square.

"We dare not talk about greatness, but if it is to contribute to your dream, I am willing to do my part."

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

The other party has distinctive black hair and eyes, and his facial features also have the charm of an exotic style. The most eye-catching thing is that the other party's temperament is calm and profound, making it impossible to take your eyes away from him.

Cui Xi breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but call out: "Tang Sen!"

Then she realized that she had made a mistake and said quickly: "Let me introduce to you, this is my captain and the planner and owner of the legendary award ceremony, Mr. Townsend."

The audience was in an uproar.

"This is the person who started the Legend Award Ceremony? Tang Sen? This name sounds a bit familiar."

"A member of the legendary dwarf Baan, a member of the team that previously prevented the Abyss invasion."

"Didn't you hear? Miss Cuixi called him captain! Let me just say that the version I heard at that time was that Tang Sen was the captain of that team, not the dwarf Barn."

"Isn't this important now? What's important is that the starting point of all this is him?"

Countless voices of discussion lingered in the square, mixing into an eardrum-shaking buzz.

But Townsend's expression remained unchanged. He just strolled up to Martinus Rutledge and said, "This is also the purpose of my legendary award ceremony. I hope that in this way, people can value exploration and knowledge. Value order and justice, and value the development of our world."

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

"Mr. Rutledge, like you, I think it is very important to break the barriers between magic monopoly. To this end, I plan to build a library in Neverwinter City."

He paused and looked at the people in the square: "I will collect all the magic knowledge I have in the library. This includes the research results of the Netherese era that have been lost, including some Netherese The legendary spell of the times.”

There was a sudden silence.

"Netheril?" Martinus Rutledge exclaimed. The calm legendary spellcaster finally couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "I have sought that knowledge, but most of it is useless. Already disappeared with the demise of Netheril——"

"Fortunately, my team and I found them back." Tang Sen said: "I think this knowledge should not be sealed in a dark place by evil beings, nor should it be monopolized by certain forces to use it for their own desires. Above all, this knowledge should belong to all spellcasters who devote themselves to the study of magic."

"This" Martinus Rutledge was a little unbelievable. He paused and then asked: "Then if you are really willing to store it in the library, what is the cost of observing this knowledge? Woolen cloth?"

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

Who doesn’t want to take a look at the research results of that dazzling magical country?

"The price?" Tang Sen smiled: "I hope that people who observe the knowledge of Netheril can have a heart of enthusiasm and awe for knowledge."

Martinus Rutledge was speechless.

"That's it? Don't we need to join your camp or pay a lot of gold——"

"Mr. Rutledge." Townsend interrupted with a smile: "If that's the case, what's the difference between me and those people who have a monopoly on knowledge that you just opposed?"

"This library is free. My purpose is just to allow researchers who pursue the truth to open up a path that is at least less tortuous. And, as I said, it is just a flame that wants to become a guide for the truth. And the torch that has been lit needs more people to add fuel to the flames.”

Martinus Rutledge's face suddenly turned red. He realized that his suspicion just now was undoubtedly a reflection of other mages and even the magic school. He instinctively did not think that anyone would be willing to make such precious knowledge public.

However, the person in front of him was greater than he imagined. No wonder he was able to create such a grand event as the legendary award ceremony.

His heart was filled with excitement and guilt, and he couldn't help but said: "Mr. Tangson, your mind amazes me. Please let me lend a helping hand."

He took a deep breath and said: "I am willing to successfully collect 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.

For the people below, the knowledge of Netheril is ultimately out of reach, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, but Martinus Rutledge is famous. As a legendary mage, the knowledge he possesses can make Every mage—whether a low-level mage or another legendary mage—has benefited a lot.

Let's put it this way, if that library can really be built, then mages will no longer need to grovel to please those schools because of knowledge, there will be no need to risk their lives to find those relics, and there will be no need to spend money. Life savings go to the market to buy spells that merchants fetch at high prices.

Mages from all over the world will flock here and gather in that library.

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