Chapter 474 Seeking common ground while reserving differences!
Of course, the Principality of Idar knew about the arrival of Archmage Glen Galvin.
And Glenn Galvin himself also knew that the Principality of Idar knew of his arrival.
only……
Whether it was Glenn Galvin or the Principality of Idar, both sides had a tacit understanding and did not break it.
After passing through Idar customs,
The students from the Cecil Kingdom rushed to the campus as soon as possible, and Master Glen Galvin found a quite comfortable-looking hotel on Warner Street.
For most people, everything about the Principality of Idar is fascinating.
But for Glenn Galvin...
Those magic street lamps standing on both sides of the road, those bright lights that lit up the night and starry sky, seemed to emphasize to himself over and over again a point that he found difficult to accept - the Idar school might be right!
As an important supporter and practitioner of the Aeron School, Master Glen Galvin has an extremely resounding reputation throughout the continent.
He has optimized various methods of activating spells and turned several theoretical achievements of the Aeron School into reality. He is not only an outstanding figure in the eyes of mages, but also a guest in the eyes of many nobles.
But……
Although he enjoys high prestige among the Aeron School,
Although he has been proud of his achievements countless times,
But when he saw the shining street lights in front of him, looked at the bicycles passing by on the street, and saw the magical car that accidentally passed by his eyes...
Glenn Galvin can clearly feel that,
The theoretical viewpoints of the Elon School that I have always adhered to may be facing the most severe challenge that I have ever faced since its birth!
Even though the Elon School is regarded by most mages as the mainstream mage school on the continent, its influence is only limited to the mage world.
On the other hand, the Idar School, which was born in the eastern part of the continent, affects the entire society and everyone living on this land!
Whether noble or common people,
As long as he lives in the Principality of Idar,
Then he will definitely have some kind of connection with the Idar School and enjoy the research results of the Idar School!
so……
Even Archmage Glen Galvin cannot deny that,
The Idar School has opened a new door to the research and application of magic, and embarked on a path never imagined!
But what troubled Glen Galvin was...
He doesn't know whether this is right or wrong, he doesn't know whether this is the right path or the wrong path...
…
A slightly cool sea breeze poured in from the window, and brilliant lights lit up the night sky.
After a period of knocking on the door,
When Glenn Galvin finally opened the door to his room,
A familiar yet unfamiliar face finally caught the eye of this respected archmage.
"Is it you?"
After a moment of silence, Glenn Galvin snorted and his expression changed.
Anel, who was outside the door, didn't care at all. He just smiled and said, "Your Excellency Archmage Galvin, don't you invite me in?"
Master Galvin did not answer, but he did not close the door or refuse. He just turned around and walked towards the room.
Anel didn't care at all about this, and followed Master Galvin directly into the room.
no way,
After all, I was a little bit harsh at that time.
"I'll put the things down first so you can have a taste of my craftsmanship."
As Anel spoke, he raised the two bags he was holding.
One bag contained two huge pine leaf crabs, while the other bag contained top-quality whiskey produced in Moore Manor.
"As you wish..."
Glenn Galvin just looked at him lightly, and then sat on the sofa in the living room.
only……
Just before Anel was about to enter the restaurant,
But he suddenly turned around and added:
"The thing you are sitting on is called a sofa, and it was also produced through the magic industry established by the Idar School."
Glenn Galvin:…
…
After a long time,
When Arnell brought two plates of steamed pine leaf crabs to the dining table, Master Glen Galvin, who was walking slowly over, couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
Although he had lived in the imperial capital of St. Lawrence for a long time and was born in the Kingdom of Cecil on the west coast of the mainland, he was really unfamiliar with this kind of pine leaf crab that came from the depths of Merlin Bay.
after all……
Although Master Glen Galvin was not a nobleman, he was somewhat influenced by the etiquette of the nobles.
And things like crabs...
Its weird appearance alone is enough for nobles and mages to shun it.
"I'm not going to lie to you, it's actually quite delicious! Our Lord Duke loves this stuff!"
Anel pulled off a ripe crab leg with all his strength, and ignored Master Galvin beside him, and just introduced it to himself.
Under the hard shell is delicious white and tender crab meat. The meat is tender and delicious. For Anel... the unique umami taste of Matsuba crab is simply wonderful!
However,
Glenn Galvin just glanced at this food that he had never tried before, then looked at Anel who was feasting, and said in a deep voice with a slightly hoarse voice:
"Are you... an Archmage now?"
Hearing this, Anel couldn't help but pause for a moment. After swallowing the food in his mouth, he nodded very seriously and calmly.
Although Bruno is the founder of the Idar school, he is not willing to publicize these things to everyone, so most of the time, Arnel is the representative of the Idar school who is pushed to the stage by Bruno.
figure.
As the research on the magic circle and the exploration of magical technology deepened, Anel's control of magic and improvement in mental power gradually became more and more obvious.
In Bruno's opinion, the mages in this world can truly achieve the achievement of "invincible academic master".
Because whether it is the characterization of the magic circle or the exploration of magical technology, the spiritual power of the mage will be improved, and the mage's understanding and control of magic will make a qualitative leap.
This method is obviously more demanding on the experience and requirements of the mage than simply practicing casting spells!
then,
Through day after day exploration and study, Anel was promoted!
In just over three years,
The Idar School allowed him to soar from a seemingly ordinary mage apprentice to the sky, completing the entire process from quantitative change to qualitative change, and became the first great mage of the Idar Principality!
If it were an ordinary person, he probably wouldn't be able to see Anel's level.
But Glenn Galvin is not an ordinary person. After all, he has stayed in the realm of the Archmage for many years, and his control over magic power is far beyond the reach of ordinary people!
so……
Although at the beginning, he just had a straight face, looking cold and distant.
But in reality,
Glenn Galvin's heart had already stirred up a shocking wave!
Arnel Blood was once his student, so Master Galvin knew very well about this young man's qualifications and talents.
In his opinion, Anel would never be able to enter the realm of the Archmage in his entire life.
Even if you want to become a mage, I am afraid it will take at least several decades of accumulation and luck.
However……
Archmage!
How long has it been?
When he saw this former student again, Anel had become an archmage!
A strong man of this level,
Even if it were placed on the entire continent, it would definitely exist with a name!
Because of this, although Glenn Galvin already had a definite answer in his mind, he still couldn't help but ask.
How did he do it?
Just based on the Idar School?
Glen Galvin has not been as surprised and gaffe-like as he was today for a long, long time.
"I have just been promoted not long ago, but it is still difficult to compare with Archmage Galvin."
Although Arnel's words revealed self-effacement and respect, at this moment, Galvin's face still turned blue and white.
after all……
The last time he saw Anel, he was still his teacher and often scolded and lectured him;
And now,
Without his own guidance, Anel's strength improved by leaps and bounds, and in such a short period of time, he stood on the same level as himself!
"Master Galvin, let's try it too, it's actually pretty good!"
Arnell seemed to ignore the embarrassment on Galvin's face and raised his finger to point to the pine leaf crab on the plate:
"This is a specialty of the Principality of Idar, and many nobles and wealthy businessmen are vying to buy it!"
After a moment of hesitation, Glenn Galvin finally said nothing more, but followed Arnel's example and opened the back shell of the pine leaf crab.
Even though he still felt a little inexplicably unhappy in his heart, Anel today was no longer the same.
Moreover,
As early as after arriving in the Principality of Idar, Glenn Galvin had already heard about the preciousness and rarity of this deep-sea giant crab.
The reason why I have never tasted it is mainly because I feel that I can't take into account my etiquette and dignity when eating it. After all... this is what I have to do.
But now, with Anel as the leader and in his guest room, the burden and worries in Master Galvin's heart are naturally much lighter.
The orange-red crab roe is crystal clear, and the crab meat is as white as snow and as delicate as silk.
That melt-in-your-mouth feeling,
It almost made Archmage Galvin's taste buds explode on the spot and spiral into the sky!
For the first time, this archmage, who was over fifty years old, realized that... there could be such a delicious thing in this world?
There is no need for any seasonings or any ingredients. Such rich and fresh food is enough to make him forget his previous unhappiness and embarrassment.
After finishing the meal, Anel wiped his hands with a tissue on the table and suddenly said:
"Master Galvin..."
"Um?"
"Leaving aside the stance of the Ilon School, do you really think that... the path taken by the Idar School is a wrong path in the field of magic?"
At this moment,
Anel's eyes seemed to burst out with a ray of light, and he looked at his former mentor very seriously.
Hearing the words,
Glenn Galvin actually wanted to nod,
But the most true thoughts deep in his heart did not allow him to give such an answer that went against his conscience.
Nearly a week has passed since he first set foot in the Principality of Idar to when Anel came to visit.
During this week,
He did not go to Idar City, nor to Sauronburg, nor to any other place on this land. Glenn Galvin just kept wandering in the Merlin District.
He once walked on Warner Street and saw with his own eyes the night view of Merlin District; he also heard the sound of steamships on the port pier.
He saw with his own eyes the industrial products produced by the magic industry, and also saw with his own eyes the ordinary civilians who controlled the magic machinery.
besides,
Glenn Galvin even followed the flow of people to the Idar Royal Exchange located on the south bank of the Idar River, and in the exchange, he saw the constantly changing numbers displayed on the magic crystal panel.
The experiences and knowledge he experienced in these days also gave him a deeper understanding of the Idar School:
"The core of the research of the Elon School is to enable mages to have a more concise and efficient method of casting spells; while the core of the research of the Idar School seems to be the popularization and widespread application of magic?"
"You see clearly and from a very appropriate angle."
Anel nodded and continued: "In that case, why can't we seek common ground while reserving differences?"
“Seeking common ground while reserving differences?”
"That's right! You are one of the top mages in the Ylon School, and you have a very deep understanding and knowledge of magic. Although the Idar School has only been born recently, you also have unique ideas in the application and popularization of magic.
opinions and attempts. There is actually no conflict between the two!"
"Mr. Glenn Galvin, although I personally have reservations about your arrival, here... on behalf of Lord Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, I would like to invite you to be a distinguished professor at the Public University of Idar."
"What?"
this time,
Glenn Galvin was really shocked.
However,
Anel continued without any pause or hesitation:
"Nowadays, what some mage schools care about is not the future of magic and mage, but whether their magic theory is the so-called 'magic' orthodoxy."
"To the people of Idar, this looks ridiculous and stupid!"
"Among other things, the secret interference of the Church of Light has caused the magic concentration in the western part of the empire to drop sharply. This should be a fact you know, right?"
"I just want to ask..."
Arnel looked into Glenn Galvin's eyes:
"Other than the Idar school, who else can take out the endless stream of magic power from the magic well? And which school can transfer magic power to a specific location in a purposeful manner?"
"this……"
For a moment, Glenn Galvin felt a little speechless.
But Anel did not intend to stay here anymore, but gave a final reminder before leaving:
"Master Galvin, think about it carefully."
"If the Church of Light insists on growing bigger, the Principality of Idar can still go out to sea by boat and have an escape route, but you and the Church of Light will have to die..."
"The Idar School may be the only choice that can change everything!"
