Chapter 547: Behind the Patent Transfer and Longevity
Of course, there is another problem here. Now he has not completely broken up with Lord Hawke. Even if he has the mentality of attacking the other party, he also tries not to let the other party know that the background communication plan of the Magic Network has anything to do with him.
So Xia Duo made another small request to Archmage Greta: "Your Excellency Greta, if possible, please keep the background communication of the magic network a secret for me."
"Oh?" Greta stared at the young man for a few seconds in surprise. She was good at psychic spells, but even without casting spells, she could tell that Sha Duo was telling the truth.
After getting her clear safety guarantee, she still asked for her identity to be kept secret. Such caution was not something ordinary young people could do. Now Greta was even more optimistic about this young man's future.
"If you don't want to show up, you can ask Giles Tower to come forward on your behalf and register the spell patent with the Austrian Law Federation, and then transfer the relevant proceeds to you."
This is actually a patent transfer in disguise. As a member of Giles Towers, Greta certainly hopes to keep this patent in Giles Towers, and she feels that Her Royal Highness also thinks so.
Otherwise, there would be no commitment to the so-called Level 5 Excellence Patent Standard.
When Xia Duo heard this plan, he immediately agreed without any hesitation. Before sending the communication plan, although he knew that there would be rewards, he did not expect it at all. The main purpose was to attack Lord Hawke.
The income from patents now exceeds his expectations.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Archmage, and thank you, Your Highness the Princess."
"In terms of specific benefits, Giles Tower will not make you suffer, but you must also know that if you personally or the Tower of Time applies for a patent, it is impossible to apply for the same patent as Giles Tower."
"I see!"
Isn't it just lowering the price, but these are unexpected benefits, and he doesn't have much bargaining power, but if he can get it, it is already very good, and Xia Duo is very open to this.
Of course, on the other hand, Chateau also believed that Giles Tower was unlikely to do anything petty.
Greta was very satisfied with Xia Duo's attitude. Of course there was some meaning in lowering the price, but Her Royal Highness the Princess had already set a minimum range, and no matter how hard she pressed, she could not go any further.
The main thing is to prevent young people from having unrealistic fantasies. Fortunately, that is not the case.
"Lord Xia Duo, is there anything else? If not, I will leave. There are still things to be busy with at Nese Palace."
Seeing the Archmage being so kind, Sha Duo suddenly remembered something, so he quickly said it, "Your Excellency Greta, I do have something to ask. Yesterday Niya and I witnessed it at the Mystery Temple underground of the Grand Temple.
We performed a special ceremony and received a warning from Her Royal Highness the Princess afterwards. Are there any taboos in this?"
Chateau did not directly name the relevant persons or rituals, but he believed that Greta should know which thing and person he was talking about.
It was impossible to say that he was not curious about this matter, and the more the above prohibited discussion, the more curious he became.
Of course, it was also because the princess did not strictly prohibit the discussion, but only said that it was best not to mention it or discuss it, so he asked Archmage Greta here.
"You were at the Temple of Mystery yesterday to witness it with your own eyes? I just received the news today!" Greta was obviously a little surprised, but after the surprise, a complicated expression appeared on her face that was hard to tell.
At the same time, she also roughly guessed the warning from Her Royal Highness, "The immortality ritual can indeed make people live forever, but the probability of success is extremely low. Once it fails, the caster will die. The most feared thing is to become an undead creature."
, while mastering the ability to cast spells while alive, he also has great malice towards living people. Such disasters have happened in the past.
"Even if you succeed and inherit your previous emotions, you are no longer human. Although there seems to be no hidden danger at present, no one can guarantee that there will be no hidden dangers in the future.
"Do you think more people should know about this longevity ritual?"
Xia Duo shook his head. He didn't expect that this so-called immortality ritual would be like this. But at the same time, he thought of a question, "Has any great arcanist succeeded before?"
The Grand Arcanist is also a mortal, not immortal, not even immortal. If he does not use life-extending magic, he may not be able to live longer than ordinary people.
However, this question was indeed a bit too sensitive. Greta did not answer directly, but said, "Not everyone desires immortality. Also, I need to remind you that people who have achieved immortality through the immortality ceremony can sense who is calling.
Their names, it's best not to talk about them casually."
"..."
After Master Greta said the last words, he left directly. Xia Duo was a little dazed, but he didn't want to stay any longer. Until he returned to his temporary residence here, he was still thinking about what Master Greta had just said.
's last sentence.
In the game I played before time travel, [gods] could indeed sense people who called them names.
In this real magical world, Shado could not verify this kind of perception ability of God, but when the advanced arcanist was extremely focused, he once sensed someone saying his name in the academy.
That feeling is a bit similar to hearing and vision, natural and like an instinct. However, after advanced, he lost that powerful perception ability.
Now that I heard that people can have such perceptive abilities after undergoing the immortality ceremony, Xia Duo couldn't help but have some associations.
When advancing, you need to sense the soul and will, and you need to be extremely focused. Maybe there is some unknown change in the soul at that moment. Otherwise, it would be impossible to detect it before and after the incident. But it happened during the incident.
perceived.
So is the immortality ceremony related to the soul? In fact, the existence of God is also related to the soul?
But this question is difficult to verify. On the one hand, Master Nese has little understanding of the soul, and on the other hand, the threshold for studying the soul is also very high.
For the time being, Shado doesn't want to be distracted by this. At least the process from Arcanist to Grand Arcanist does not involve the soul level.
He wrote down some of his guesses about the soul in his notes, and planned to study this aspect after becoming a Grand Arcanist. Now, while taking into account upgrades, he still puts his research direction in a position that is easier and more practical.
area.
After doing all this, Xia Duo remembered that there was another person waiting for him outside!
Although he can completely ignore the other party now, doing so is tantamount to intensifying the conflict. Before his communication plan can take effect, even if it is to confuse the other party, some superficial efforts must be made.
