Bringing Culture to a Different World

Chapter 559: Chapter 564, Expectation

“This is the medium that carries the weave?”

The king of the country of steel, Sifana IV, held a transparent primary crystal in his hand. The inside of this transparent primary crystal could be seen with many complicated inscriptions rehearsed together.

“Your Majesty, to be precise, this primary crystal does not carry the entirety of the weave.”

An inscription master belonging to the country of steel patiently explained the basic structure of the mana net to Sven the fourth.

“According to our research, the Mana Net, just like its name, is a network of magic power and inscriptions. The inscriptions carved in this inscription stone are, to be precise, a key to access the core of the Mana Net.”

“What is the core of the Mana Net?”

When sifana IV learned that this rune master had researched the magic net, he was immediately interested.

“It’s the World Tree.”Prince Kaos answered the king’s question for the Rune Master. “My mentor, the red-robed man, once told me that the carrier of the magic net is the world tree. When I visited the tower of the sages in the past, I saw a world tree protected by an ice dragon appearing in the middle of Nolan.”

“The Holy Relic of the Elves? How long have you been studying the weave?”Sifana IV asked the inscription master again.

“Almost a year. Ever since teacher Joshua set up the programming class, I’ve been one of the apprentices,”the inscription master said.

“Teacher?”

Sifana IV noticed how the inscription master addressed the Chaos Demon. Nolan’s spellcasters still valued seniority. The inscription master looked to be about sixty-seven or sixty-eight years old, but he addressed a chaos demon who looked to be only about twenty years old as a teacher.

From his tone, it seemed that he had a clear conscience.

“Father, the Advanced Magic Academy of Luersk offers a course called ‘programming’. The specific content is the deeper study of the Weave,”Prince Kaos said.

“Kaos, have you listened to the course called ‘programming’?”

When Prince Kaos was asked this question, his face immediately revealed a troubled expression.

“I’m sorry, Father. That course is too difficult to understand. The construction of the weave requires the awakening of more than a hundred runes of order. My Major is the fiery system, and there are only seventy-two of them,”Prince Kaos replied.

Sifana IV understood the meaning behind Kaos’words. An ordinary spell caster who could comprehend more than a hundred runes with one rune system could already be called a master.

“As His Highness Kaos said, in the current course of ‘programming’, we can often see the figures of the sages. This is a difficult course for spell casters who do not major in the order system.”

The inscription master also took the initiative to tell Sifana IV the difficulty of this course.

“Even the sages are apprentices…”hearing this, Sifana IV felt that his goal was very vague, but he still asked tentatively, “Then can you build a new weave?”

Sifana IV’s hope was in vain. The inscription master shook his head helplessly, indicating that he could do nothing.

“I’m Sorry, Your Majesty. Maybe the gray-clothed man can do it. My knowledge is still too shallow,”he said.

“The gray-clothed man? I’ll think about it.”

Sifana IV looked at the inscription stone in his hand and asked the last question.

“Do you think this is dangerous? I heard that it is magic that is directly rooted in one’s consciousness.”Sifana IV asked.

“If your Majesty is referring to being hit by a magic chariot while watching the magic net on the street… there is indeed a certain level of danger.”

The rune master made a joke to Sifana IV at the end.

“I understand, Kaos… you seem to be very familiar with that Chaos Fiend?”

Sifana IV glanced at his son.

“I’ve only met him a few times. I’m not familiar with him,”Prince Kaos quickly replied.

“This isn’t something worth hiding. General Fred has written to me about your situation in Nolan, even though your previous affair with the demons was enough to affect your reputation.”Sifana IV looked at the stage below and said, “But after this award ceremony, the demons have officially appeared in this world. From the reactions of other countries, we have enough reasons to establish diplomatic relations with the demons.”

After hearing Sifana IV’s warning, Prince Kaos became a bit relaxed. After hesitating for a short while, he was about to probe his father’s opinion about the marriage between his father and demons, sifana IV’s next words made him give up this thought temporarily.

“That person is a prince and the winner of Skjerona Prize. It’s beneficial for your future to be on good terms with him.”

“Yes, Father,”Prince Karos said.

“Therefore, Karos, I will entrust you with the task of negotiating with demons. I will ask my knights to go with you. Right now, some countries must have started to take action,”Sifana IV said.

After receiving this order, Prince Karos stood up from his seat and prepared to go to the rear of the Crystal Palace. However, at the last moment before he left.

“One more thing, Kaos. The time for the trial of the Sage is approaching, right? “Last time, I remember that you lost to that little girl from the Karshilov family. You are not allowed to fail again this year. Your mother might personally come and supervise.”

The reminder from Sifana IV made Prince Kaos stand up straight!

The qualification to enter the tower of sages was not permanent. Every once in a while, the sages would have a comprehensive trial. Those who failed would be removed from the tower of sages.

Prince Kaos had failed miserably in the last trial with the apprentice of the yellow-clothed man, Sophia Karshilov. This matter had always been on Kaos’mother’s mind.

There was an unwritten rule in the country of steel that it was a very shameful thing for a man to lose to a woman, even if the person in power behind the scenes in the country of steel was actually the king’s only queen.

“I will not fail a second time.”

Prince Kaos used a solemn voice to say these words, even though Sevan IV nodded in relief after hearing it.

But in fact, Prince Kaos knew very well how difficult it was to defeat the candidate in yellow.

Therefore, he had been under a lot of pressure recently.

But his parents could not tolerate his failure, and as a prince of the country of steel, he had to strive for the best.

“Then, father, I went to talk to that chaos demon about the weave.”

Prince Kaos left the second level’s auditorium with a heavy heart.

Sifana IV pondered over the crystal in his hand, then crushed it. Large amounts of runes instantly surged into his body.

“Isn’t the weave only strategically valuable?”Sifana IV looked at the information that surged out in front of him and began to browse through this virtual world.
