"Rejuvenation?"
Looking at the photo Yulia had sent, Wu Zechuan couldn’t help but sigh in amazent.
These past days, Yulia had been imrsed in the joy of cultivation, never leaving her ho, so Wu Zechuan hadn’t seen her.
After Yulia confird she was indeed rejuvenating, Lan Cuifu almost forced him to obtain a bottle of Saint’s Blood.
Back then, Lan Cuifu didn’t join the battle against the Forbidden Demon Abyss and didn’t acquire the Saint’s Blood.
Fortunately, Yan Luo had been bleeding excessively lately; as the president of the No.2 Crimson Hunter’s Guild and Yan Luo’s friend, Wu Zechuan still had so stock, so it wasn’t difficult to spare a bottle for Lan Cuifu.
The miracle Yulia exhibited sparked a wave of cultivation craze on Blue Star, with many people possessing a magic power affinity trying to embark on engraving.
Even if soone can’t afford engraving, there are ancient thods for cultivation now, and a prosperous age of cultivation is imminent.
In this era, there’s no place for Abyssal Believers.
This thought wasn’t just Wu Zechuan’s idea; it’s the action so people were taking.
Wu Zechuan didn’t know what was happening, but so wealthy people in Celestial City suddenly died, among them Wang Xiu, the patriarch of the Tianyi Wang Family.
If he recalled correctly, Wang Xiu was a senior mber of the Abyssal Believers.
As a senior mber of the Abyssal Believers, how did Wang Xiu suddenly die like that?
When this news caught Wu Zechuan’s eye, he thought he had misread it; it took multiple confirmations for him to believe this news.
Nearly ten wealthy individuals suddenly died, a piece of major news impossible to hide because not only Abyssal Believers lived in Celestial City but also so wealthy people who didn’t wish to live in the dangerous surface world.
They might be unaware of the fact that the suddenly dead wealthy were Abyssal Believers, and hence might target these businesses of the dead wealthy.
There’s a high probability these newsworthy incidents ca from those people.
Wang Xiu was an openly acknowledged high-ranking Abyssal Believer, leading operations on the surface, whereas it’s unknown about the others, although so were on Wu Zechuan’s "suspected Abyssal Believers" list.
aning the wealthy people who died this ti were likely all high-ranking Abyssal Believers?
Who exactly made the move?
Wu Zechuan frowned, pondering for a long ti without reaching a conclusion.
On Blue Star, apart from Yulia, the strongest Engraver has only ten engravings; if soone indeed attacked Celestial City, there would certainly be more news and not just one piece about "several wealthy individuals in Celestial City died suddenly."
So who exactly caused the death of those wealthy individuals?
Could it be soone within the Abyssal Believers?
Wu Zechuan had looked into Walter Gack’s background, discovering that since his retirent, he had been a businessman, traveling between a few cities and earning quite a sum of money, relying on so influence.
Everything about Walter’s life since birth could be investigated, including most of his trade records during his rchant period, especially since it’s the information age.
Walter Gack wasn’t an ordinary Engraver; from his experience and his clumsy techniques during a battle with Yulia, it’s apparent he hadn’t engaged in Abyss hunts post-retirent and had limited engagents with mutant creatures.
How did soone who hadn’t engaged in Abyss hunts reach Sequence Two, possessing eight engravings?
The answer is simple—Saint’s Blood!
Only Saint’s Blood can allow soone to progress in engraving without participating in Abyss hunts.
Thus, it’s easily speculated that Walter Gack is likely a close associate of the Watcher Sect leader.
Walter probably obtained the Saint’s Blood at a young age, silently reaching Sequence Two under everyone’s noses these years.
Wu Zechuan figured since he and Yulia’s strength had recovered, it might be ti to interrogate Walter.
Currently, Walter was sealed in ice by Yevgenia, so interrogating Walter must wait until Yevgenia returns to lift the seal on him.
Without unsealing ans, forcibly unfreezing Walter would only kill him outright.
Therefore, they must wait for the trade caravan crossing between worlds to return.
......
The ti quietly arrived at the twentieth day since the trade caravan crossed into Alfheim.
After delivering custom goods to Frein City’s humans, the trade caravan was about to return but got called by Frein City’s Lord.
"Planning to engage in a deeper trade?"
Hearing this, the attendant who was always by the Lord’s side was shocked, "Lord, what are you planning?"
The Lord of Frein City smiled, raising a hand to silence the attendant, and looked at Yan Luo.
Yan Luo looked at the Lord and asked, "What trade?"
"Simple, we will send elves to your world, and you send soone here to learn from us."
Gently stroking the cargo packaging delivered by the human caravan, Frein City’s Lord seed to see the future.
Yan Luo raised an eyebrow, "Why do you want to make this trade with us?"
The Lord chuckled, replying, "You have developed a completely different path, one filled with possibilities. Simply studying magic won’t strengthen our city or even our world. Magic requires the support of a user; the stronger the magic, the stronger the user needed. But your developnt of technology is different; it doesn’t much care who the user is."
"Elves not only need magic but also technology. Although the youngsters in Pirie City have also created machinery, their machinery is fundantally akin to magic and doesn’t really enhance the elves’ strength."
Elven spellcasting and Engraver spellcasting are fundantally similar, both use ’imagination’ for casting spells.
The chanted curse words and gestures are essentially psychological cues and mory enhancents; in reality, magic power is the actual functioning elent.
’Spellcasting’ is a black box; neither elves nor human Engravers understand the process of spell transformation. They only know it works, so they use it.
Therefore, if a Sequence of "Mage" Engravers ca to learn in Frein City, they might indeed learn sothing.
What’s more important is that Sasa suspects Frein City has mastered ’Magic Language’, capable of using ’basic symbols’ to program spells, creating desired effects.
Yan Luo considered it and asked directly, "Will you mislead the students we send over?"
The Lord pondered for a mont, "Do you an... will we teach the students you send over all we know? Of course not, that is impossible. Just as you won’t teach us everything you know..."
"We will." Yan Luo suddenly interrupted the Lord of Frein City.
The Lord was taken aback.
Yan Luo continued, "Most of our knowledge is recorded on an entity known as the ’Internet’, and by using this personal terminal I’m wearing," gesturing to his spectacles, "you can access the network and directly learn from it. Although so advanced knowledge requires permissions, I believe that your students won’t learn enough to reach that level, so essentially, we are opening up the portion of knowledge you can learn."
Saying this, Yan Luo looked at Yevgenia and gestured for her to co over, then introduced to the Lord of Frein City: "This is Ms. Yevgenia Xuan Konghua from the academy, she has learned a lot in our world through personal terminals. Ms. Yevgenia, please share your experiences on Blue Star with the Lord."
Yevgenia nodded and shared her experiences on Blue Star and her insights into the Internet with the Lord of Frein City.
The Lord listened in awe, not recovering for a long ti.
"This is truly... unbelievable..."
The Lord hadn’t anticipated Midgard to be such a wondrous world.
The knowledge of that world is nearly entirely free and open; as long as one has the heart to learn, there’s much to be acquired.
aning, if Frein City indeed sends so students to Midgard, they can learn the majority of technological knowledge humans have developed up to now?
The Lord of Frein City fell silent, deep in thought.
