Dalglish cried loudly, crying with grief, but intermittently, he still told what had happened to him.
Dalglish claimed to be a scholar, a scholar well-versed in astrology and history.
He had gone to sea with a small merchant who had gone overseas to do the pearl business, looking for an opportunity to sail in Port Dean, but unfortunately ended up on a black ship under One-Eye.
They should have been unlucky, the ship was led by One-Eye himself, but when he reached the sea, the merchant was slaughtered as a fat sheep, and all the money he carried naturally belonged to One-Eye.
Seven or eight of the merchant's companions were slaughtered by the pirates and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
This Dalglish was an outlier, for he was not a merchant and had no money.
Originally, the angry pirates were about to kill him because he didn't scrape oil and water from him, but out of curiosity, One-Eye personally interrogated the Dalglish and learned that he was a scholar, leaving his surname behind.
When Chen Daolin heard this, he sneered: "You are a person who speaks babblingly, and you are very dishonest."
He stared into Dalglish's eyes and said slowly: "That one-eyed guy is not a soft-hearted person, why didn't he kill you, leave you alive, don't tell me that he thinks he respects your status as a scholar Hmph, that guy only has gold coins in his eyes, he left you not to kill, there must be something hidden."
After a pause, Chen Daolin continued: "You are such a scholar, but you quietly came to the East China Sea and went to sea on a black boat with your head and tail hidden, why do you say that you are an astrologer and a scholar who is proficient in history.
But what you've learned doesn't seem to have anything to do with going to sea, right, do you need to go to sea to observe the stars?"
Dalglish cried with a sad face, looked at Chen Daolin, struggling in his heart He was really afraid, after the terrible one-eyed pirate knew his secret, he locked himself here and tortured, and now the person in front of him claimed to be not a pirate, but if he told him the truth, he became greedy and continued to kidnap himself, then "Don't you want to tell the truth" Chen Daolin simply sneered: "Then it's up to you, although I occupied this ship, but you and I have nothing to do with it."
Since you won't tell me the truth, I don't need to show you my kindness.
I'm going to leave you to fend for yourself. ” "Wait, wait, lord," Dalglish panicked, he grabbed the iron bar of the fence with all his might, and screamed again and again: "Don't ask for it, please give me a little mercy, please."
"Kindness" Chen Daolin smiled deliberately: "Of course I have a benevolent heart, but why should I give you mercy You and I are not related, although I am not a bad person, but I am not a good person, if there is no benefit, why should I save you" "Me" This Dalglish hesitated again and again, seeing that Chen Daolin had turned around and left, watching Chen Daolin walk a few steps, Dalglish finally panicked, and he quickly screamed: "Master, lord, noble lord, please don't go, I said" With a thud, Dalglish was already on his knees.
Chen Daolin turned around, glanced at the sailor pirate beside him, and lost a look at him, this pirate was very clever, and quickly trotted away.
"Okay, it seems that you have some secrets, now that you and I are here, you can tell it."
Chen Daolin smiled leisurely, and then there was a hint of threat in his tone: "But you'd better be careful, I don't like others to lie to me, you only have one chance, if you tell a lie, I naturally have my judgment, if I think you are lying to me, you are ready to rot here to death."
"Don't dare, I will never dare to tell you a lie," Dalglish cried.
Then the guy knelt there and began to tell about himself.
His first words shocked Chen Daolin "Sir, my name is Dalglish, and my full name is Dalglishbora.
I'm from, I didn't lie to you, I'm really a scholar, I used to work for the great and sacred Imperial Magical Society, I used to be a research scholar in the Imperial Magical Society. ” Imperial Magical Society Chen Daolin's eyes lit up immediately In the magical field of the Roland Empire, there are three major organizations.
The most famous, of course, is the "Magic Guild", which is the oldest organization of magicians in the Roland Continent, and the most authoritative and influential alliance of magicians.
The headquarters of the Magic Guild is located in, generally speaking, all human mages on the continent are subject to the control of the Imperial Magic Guild, and the greatest authority of the Imperial Magic Guild is that they are the most authoritative and the only authoritative organization qualified to certify and issue magical level status.
The president of the Magic Guild has always been considered the spiritual leader of all magicians on the continent.
In the tradition of the Roland Continent, the president of the Magic Guild is a giant who can compete with the Emperor and His Majesty the Pope of the Church of Light In fact, before the era of the rise of the Tulip Family, for thousands of years, the pattern of the Roland Empire was: the royal family, the Temple of Light Church, and the Magic Guild.
The three major forces are divided against the Emperor, the Pope, and the President of the Magic Guild, and they are also recognized as the three giants However, this situation has changed dramatically since the tulip family pouted.
The legendary imperial hero Tulip First Duke stood firmly in the camp of the royal family, and he did several things, one was to weaken the power of the Church of Light, let the imperial power overpower the divine power, and let the Imperial Church of Light gradually decline, and no longer have a threat to the imperial royal family.
And the other thing he did was to weaken the influence of the Magic Guild, weaken the authority and traditional monopoly of the Magic Guild on the wizarding world, and greatly reduce the influence of the Magic Guild.
And the final situation was to determine the monopoly of imperial power and build a stable centralized power.
As for how Du Wei weakened the divine power, if it was against the Church of Light, that was another matter.
Let's talk about how the Magic Guild has been weakened.
The reason why the magic union is strong is because of the tradition of the Roland Empire, where magicians are privately selected by the old magicians themselves to accept outstanding and talented people as disciples, and the masters and apprentices privately teach and receive magic from generation to generation.
This method is conservative and backward, and it seriously restricts the development of magical civilization.
Imagine, this kind of method of taking apprentices by the teacher, in the process of teaching, every magician cherishes himself, attaches great importance to the view of the portal, and the creation and invention of a little powerful magic field or the progress of the breakthrough surname, are never easy to show people, are kept to the bottom of the box, and finally teach the disciples they value This method is too backward, in the process of inheritance, it is easy to have a lack of inheritance, in case a teacher accidentally encounters an apprentice with limited talent, he would rather let his magic skills rot, and refuses to teach it to outsiders The progress of the magical civilization of the Roland Empire for thousands of years has not been very large, and this backward inheritance model is a big obstacle.
But this backward way of inheritance has brought about an effect: the authoritative surname of the magic union Because of the backward way of inheritance, the development of magical civilization has not been very good.
As a result, the number of mages on the continent is scarce.
The scarcity of the number of magicians makes the group of magicians precious, and the preciousness of magicians makes the status of the Magician Guild, the authoritative organization of magicians, extremely important.
It's important enough to compete with royalty or the Church of Light On top of that, the Wizards' Guild has a monopoly on this precious "resource" of magicians.
In order to gain the support of the magicians, the imperial family must show enough "concessions" to the magic union.
However, this situation was broken when the original Duke Tulip was born.
The original Duke Tulip's method of dealing with the Magical Guild was simple: break the monopoly and establish a magical academy Isn't your magic union stubborn and traditional private teaching, then I will establish a large school system, and train magicians on a large scale with a more advanced and scientific school system The establishment of the School of Magic made magicians no longer taught privately, but made the profession "cultivated on a large scale".
To put it simply, the so-called magic academy is actually a kind of "special vocational school" to put it bluntly, although magic makes this profession destined to be very scarce because of its strict talent restrictions.
But the large-scale school model is still the same, and in just a hundred years, the number of magicians in the Roland Empire has increased nearly tenfold Cultivating magicians is no longer the "patent" of the Magic Guild, and batches of magicians trained by the royal family and grassroots magicians born from commoners have emerged, which dilutes the authority of the Magic Guild.
In addition to the establishment of the Academy of Magic, the second killer weapon that the original Duke Tulip threw out to deal with the Magic Guild was the Magic Society.

The Magic Society is a very special existence, on the one hand, it is not a kind of organization similar to the Magic Guild or the Magic Academy that specializes in training magicians, and the Magic Society itself does not have the function of cultivating magicians.
To put it more clearly, the establishment of the Academy of Magic is to cultivate a group of new magicians who are different from the tradition.
The establishment of the Magical Society is to divide and co-opt the internal division of the Magical Guild The Magical Society, a pure "academic surname" organization similar to the academic study of magic, the original Duke Tulip established a "sharing system", which broke the traditional view of magicians in the Roland Continent that they cherished their own mastery or magical achievements.
Du Wei first recruited a few but well-known magicians to establish this society, persuaded them to contribute their precious magical achievements as a "start-up capital", and then used this to attract other mainland magicians.
Any magician who is willing to contribute his or her magic to the Magic Society can share and receive the magic results of other magicians according to the established hierarchy of sharing, depending on the degree of contribution.
In other words, if you take out the results of your own magical research, you can exchange them for the magical research results of other magicians.
Most magicians, in fact, are essentially the same as those old-fashioned scientists in the real world who study science and technology, magicians value the mysteries of magic research more than the worldly power and wealth, and in order to get the coveted magic breakthrough, many magicians are willing to contribute their own magic achievements in exchange for breakthroughs in other magical fields that they need.
And just like that, the Magical Society was founded.
More and more magicians are joining the Magical Society, contributing their own magical achievements in exchange for the work of others.
As an organization with this "academic surname", the Magic Society stores more and more results of magical research and the technical reserves of magical civilization, and it is becoming more and more huge, like a reservoir After more than 100 years of development, it has gradually become an existence similar to the national surname of the Magical Research Research Center.
The Magic Society does not directly train magicians, but it can attract the support of magicians on the mainland.
Because any magician, no matter how talented you are, no matter how powerful you are, will always encounter various problems and troubles on the road of studying magic, and a person's energy is limited, if you want to make a breakthrough, sometimes you can only turn to the magic society, and find a solution to your own problems from the massive reserve of magic achievements in exchange, and the magician himself has to contribute some of his own magic achievements.
"You're actually working for the Magic Society" Chen Daolin was really shocked That kind of place of the Magic Society, how could he not know that the memory of Lady Stone had already told the high status of the Magic Society very clearly, that kind of place, which was almost like a palace in the heart of the magician "Could it be that you are also a magician, Dalglish" Chen Daolin's expression was much more serious, and his tone also revealed a hint of caution.
Dalglish smiled bitterly, then shook his head and sighed: "No, my lordship, I am not a magician myself, although I am very interested in magic, but because of the limitations of my talent, I did not embark on the path of magic.
I'm just a scholar, to be precise, I'm just a clerk who works for the Academy of Magic, and I'm responsible for organizing the various reserves of magical materials in the Society. ” Chen Daolin was a little puzzled at first, but he immediately thought about it and understood.
Such a large magic society has a huge reserve of magical materials, and such a huge amount of information needs to be managed, organized, and classified, and it also needs to be maintained by someone in peacetime, just like a large national museum library, so many massive precious documents and materials, someone must work to manage it But where do the people who do these things come from?
Naturally, it is impossible for magicians to do these "boring jobs", and every magician's time is precious, and most of their time must be spent on magical research.
How could you come and do this kind of librarian's work?
You know, the number of magicians is already very scarce.
But someone has to do these things.
Although magicians don't do it, they can't just find a group of ordinary people to do it You must know that the magic materials stored are all precious magical research results, and they are all some profound magical knowledge.
Ordinary people may not be able to recognize all the words, how can they do such important management work If something goes wrong, or if there is damage or something missing, the damage is really immeasurable.
Therefore, the Magic Society has recruited a special group of people to do this kind of thing: To put it in one simple word, it is: intellectuals.
Scholar.
Only these educated, well-educated, well-educated, at least literate, reasonable, and learned people can do such an important job.
Dalglish in front of him is one of them.
As a young man, he was a scholar of astrology and history, and he was also a lover of natural sciences, as he himself called himself.
And after getting a job in a place like the Magic Society, Dalglish's fate changed dramatically.
The Magical Society's remuneration is excellent, and although these "administrators" are not magicians, they are also learned scholars, and they are respected, and the work they do is also very important, and the remuneration provided by the Magical Society is also very generous.
He had the happiest time of his life in the Academy of Magic: he was well paid, respected, and at the same time able to read a vast sea of magical materials to satisfy the intellectual curiosity and curiosity of a scholar.
Because, although you can't become a magician because of your limited magical talent, as a scholar, you still have a strong curiosity and desire for knowledge about magical magic.
Even if they can't become magicians themselves, scholars like Dalglish are still willing to study magic.
As a result, he has unique conditions to serve in the Magic Society.
He became a researcher of magic who was not a magician.
Dalglish enjoyed his life, and while managing magical materials and precious documents, he was given many convenient opportunities to read things that ordinary people couldn't reach.
A lot of mage's research results, notes on magical experiments, research conjectures in certain fields of magic, and so on.
These precious things, materials that are unimaginable to outsiders, Dalglish has the opportunity to access, and can read a considerable part of them.
Of course, although the son in the Magic Society is free, the mechanism of secrecy is also very tight.
Dalglish spent several years at the Academy of Magic, and at the same time he gradually developed a deep understanding of magic: only theoretically, of course.
As a lover of natural sciences in particular, Dalglish developed a strong interest in magical potions, also known as "potions", and his years of exposure and his own amateur research have given him a deep knowledge and understanding of magical potions.
And then, something happened, and as Dalglish told him, Chen Daolin's expression became more and more serious.
"I saw something in a note that interested me."
Dalglish finally got to the point: "It was a very special note, and we found it a little difficult to classify it.
The note is supposed to be in the category of magical potions, but the content of the note is not limited to potions, but also contains a lot of natural science discussions.
Obviously, the magician himself who wrote that note must have been an erudite miscellaneous scholar, and in the course of his study of various living plants he must have discovered many interesting things outside of magic, and some of the most important of them were immature speculations and preliminary experiments. ” "What kind of speculation and what kind of test?"

Chen Daolin asked closely.
"The transcript of that note, the magician tried to find a material that could replace the magic crystal.
Because all along, magicians have used various gems, magic crystals, and even magic cores taken from demonic beasts as a supplement to various magical powers.
But whether it is gems or crystals, they all belong to the category of minerals, these things are very rare, and it is not easy to mine, the most important thing is that although with the development of thousands of years, the vein resources on the continent have been basically developed, these resources are non-renewable, mining some will be less, although it has not been exhausted yet, but there will always be a day when it will be completely used up in the future.
For this gem-type crystal mineral resource, as the resource is gradually depleted, what should the future magician do" Chen Daolin smiled, he didn't say anything.
Dalglish sighed and continued: "In addition to mineral resources, the extraction of the Demon Beast Demon Core is even more difficult, the Demon Core of the high-level Demon Beast is very precious and rare, because it is too dangerous to hunt the high-level Demon Beast, even if a powerful magician does it, there is a great risk.
The most important thing is that the frozen forests in the north are occupied by alien races, and it is difficult for humans to go to the frozen forests to hunt demonic beasts on a large scale.
Therefore, in addition to minerals and Warcraft cores, if a new alternative magical material can be found, it will be a great event that can leave a glorious page in the history of magic. ” "And then, what did you find in that note," Chen Daolin said, although his tone was as calm as possible, in fact, his breathing couldn't help but be a little short There is no doubt that if you can find a new magic material that can replace the magic crystal and various gems, it will definitely be an immeasurable treasure Dalglish looked at Chen Daolin, he hesitated for a moment, and took a deep breath: "The note I saw didn't give a perfect answer, it just put forward a guess with some kind of possible surname.
The magician who wrote the note listed several alternatives that he thought were possible, but later overturned them one by one, because some of the things listed were more precious and rare than minerals, some of which had been experimentally proven to have no caste attached to magic, and some of which even had some dangerous consequences, in short, were not very suitable.
And at the end of the note, there is a suggestion of a possible surname."
Chen Daolin's heart suddenly moved, and he vaguely guessed an answer, he looked at Dalglish, and almost blurted out: "Pearl" To be continued:
