Chapter 187 Waiting for a Scroll (Part 1)
The continent of Nolan is very big.
In this vast continent, there are stories happening every moment.
Most of the stories are like a drop of water in the ocean, not making any waves.
But there are also some stories. At first, it was just like the most ordinary drop of rainwater entering the sea. It was silent for a while, quite dull and ordinary, but many years later, it set off a tsunami that swept everything.
Norlan calendar year 9366.
The southeast corner of the Nolan continent map boundary.
The seaside land adjacent to the Strait of Noraka.
This is the first port and trading city in Nolan Continent, and it is also the most important shipping center hub of Nolan Continent and Terra Continent, where Linhai City is located.
It is one of the most prosperous cities in the entire mage plane.
At the huge, grand and majestic Sun Gate.
The four emblems representing the four major chambers of commerce families in Linhai City are shining brightly, symbolizing the immortal glory of the four major chambers of commerce families.
This seems to be the case.
Linhai City, a city that is no longer young, still exudes the vivid vitality of an eighteen-year-old girl.
As long as Linhai City exists, the four major merchant families that control the city will never decline. In other words, they will grow stronger with the support of Linhai City.
It should be like this.
· History has proven time and time again that human civilization, no matter what system it is under, or in which time and space, as long as strata appear and structures are established, they will inevitably fall into the atmosphere of "bureaucracy".
Anna stood silently in front of the small building where the family belonged.
As one of the four richest families in this city, or in this continent.
This small building owned by the Oakenley family is not made of gold as rumored, and it does not even have any golden luster on the surface.
But everyone in the family knows that everything in the family must originate from this small building.
Origined from the original owner of the small building named Eddie Oakenley.
One day many years ago, when the Oakenley family was not the current Oakenley family, he developed the first Oakenley alchemical weapon in the small building.
Henceforth, the O'Kenley family became the O'Kenley family.
This small building was later rebuilt into "Lingsi Building".
In the family, all inventions and creations that are considered valuable can be reported to Lingsi Building for review and approval by the family.
Among them, the outstanding ones can even rise to the top with just one invention.
Everyone has troubles, even children who have been on private magic airships since childhood, let alone ordinary people.
Anna is very troubled now.
She never knew that the family’s Lingsi Tower now actually requires money to report to Lingsi?
If I remember correctly, "respecting technology" has always been the family's purpose, right?
The obese Grant O'Kenley leaned against the gate of Lingsi Building, looked at the silent and rustic Anna, and asked expressionlessly: "Have you thought about it?"
Anna grabbed the hem of the neat but simple long skirt with both hands, twisting it hard.
Seeing this, Grand turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait, Lord Grand." Seeing that Grand was about to leave, Anna still couldn't hold it back and quickly called him.
Under his impatient gaze and with a rustling sound, she took out an exquisite crystal card that did not match what she was wearing.
"This is my husband's pension issued by the family. He has been testing alchemy weapons for the family for one hundred and thirty-one years. One hundred and thirty-one years is this crystal card. You can take it." Anna squirmed her lips and said with difficulty.
Ge Lang took the crystal card and said, "Bring it here."
Anna then carefully took out a scroll that was kept close to her body and handed it to Ge Lang carefully.
"Master Grand, this is He Xi's research. He has always been a gifted child. This research is amazing. You must help report it to the family." She couldn't help but add in a low voice.
When she thought about the words and derivation processes in the scrolls that she couldn't understand at all, she recalled the confused feeling she had when she first came into contact with runes, and she couldn't help but feel full of awe and pride in her heart.
Because these things were written by her son.
Grand took the scroll and walked towards Lingsi Tower without looking at it. He didn't even bother to deal with Anna.
Anna watched eagerly as Grand entered with the scroll, her hands continued to twist the hem of her skirt, and said to herself: "But you must help report it to the family."
She knew how much overt and covert ridicule and disdain her children had suffered over the years, and how much suffering they had suffered.
As a mother, she just wants to prove that her child is good.
She believed this very much.
Even though she didn't understand anything on that scroll.
Even the things on that scroll have been called useless by others and the wishful thinking of a madman.
The simple wooden door slowly closed.
Grand O'Kenley suddenly sneered as he walked into Lingsi Building and murmured to himself: "How can truly valuable inventions and creations appear so easily?"
How can it be so simple to reach the sky in one step?"
As one of the directors of the Lingsi Building Audit Office, he is naturally not a waste who only sees money.
He had already read the scroll Anna handed over and confirmed that it was worthless.
It is precisely because he concluded that it was worthless that he dared to extort money without restraint.
"Basic rules of runes? Derivation of magic circles through logic and calculation?"
"The magic circle is not constructed through the adjustment of runes, but calculated on paper first?"
"Are children playing house?"
"The paper is full of nonsense."
"What a fantastic idea, ridiculous."
/>
"If these theories are feasible, what is the concept?"
"This means that the core technology of the Luen family will be caught up by Oakenley, and Oakenley will become the only family among the four major merchant families in Linhai City that masters the two core technologies of "alchemy weapons" and "rune construction" at the same time."
"Is it possible?"
The O'Kenley family, together with the Igor family, the Iron family, and the Luen family, are the four major merchant families in Linhai City, and they jointly control Linhai City.
Their business spanned two continents and brought in endless wealth.
Each family masters a core technology as the pillar industry of their respective family.
The core technology of the Igor family is the "magic airship". They master the most advanced airship power and airship weapon technology, and use this to monopolize "transportation".
The core technology of the Ain family is the "Oric Crystal" with high magic density, safety, longevity and reliability.
They can compress the magic power in tons of magic crystals into a small crystal and keep it stable.
Whether it is an airship, a large alchemical weapon, or a super large magic circle, their operation is inseparable from the Orric crystal.
Oric crystal represents "energy".
The O'Kenley family masters the most superb magic alchemy skills, inherits ancient alchemical secrets, is at the forefront of alchemical weapons, and has created countless amazing alchemical weapons.
Their magnificent workshop "Sea Furnace" in Linhai City, where new craftsmanship is born and circulated every day.
The alchemical products produced by Oakenley are in short supply all over the world.
Alchemical weapons represent "munitions".
The last Rune family mastered the "rune construction" technology that represents the most powerful individual power.
They have the largest number of rune builders in the world.
Of course, since "rune construction" cannot be mass-produced, the wealth of the Rune family is not as good as that of the other three major families.
But the set in Linhai City is also the only set of eighth-level rune construction "Praise of the Sea" in the world. It was made by the Rune Family and is now firmly in the hands of the Rune Family.
This set of "Praise of the Sea" alone is enough to make the Luen family's status solid.
There has only been one eighth-level rune constructor so far, so there is only this set of eighth-level rune constructors.
Now, some people say that it is possible to bypass the rune modulation and draw the magic circle through calculations?
And this person is just a second-level rune master.
From Grand's perspective, this is just a ridiculous and naive delusion of a low-level rune master.
It's like a poor person guessing that the noble must have two bowls of soy milk for every meal, and drink one bowl and pour another bowl.
Isn't this ridiculous?
