Chapter 1258 The Secret of Runes

"Juan?"

Imrick didn't remember who this person was for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized that he didn't pay attention at the time and let Juan go to Oliveira.

No... That old guy has so many confidential technologies. What's wrong with me to let him go from the palace?

Imrick raised his hand and signaled the countess not to speak for a while, asked the mage to interrupt the communication for a while, and summoned North to come in.

"North, do you have a backup file of the dispatch order I gave to Juan?"

The herald thought about it. It has been nearly a hundred years. Why did he suddenly mention it?

"There is a backup file, but it is stored in the confidential archives of the Dragon Palace. Do you want to take a look?"

"No, repeat the content of the dispatch order."

North's specialty is to remember everything he has seen and remember all the documents in his heart.

He recalled, his calm face became a little strange, and he asked with some consideration: "Your Majesty, are you sure?"

"Speak."

"Because Oliveira won the Blade Ceremony, he was given the title of Caledor Blade as a prince and dragon lord... Juan, the old guy, must help Oliveira to create a legion that can defeat everyone, including the old guys in the Noble Council.

Manpower, financial resources, and materials are all provided unconditionally... Also, find an excuse to send Orthea over. As long as Filonia goes with her, I have a reason to assign some dragons to fill in."

The Flame Knights who were listening all raised their eyebrows, thinking that Oliveira also went through the back door.

Imrick suddenly realized and clapped his hands: "I must have been too happy at the time. This dispatch order... have you revised it?"

North wiped the non-existent sweat: "I polished it up, emphasized the importance of Captain Oliveira, and downplayed the matter of Orthea."

"Well done."

After knowing why Juan was released, Imrick asked the mage to reconnect: "Then, Countess, I remember that Juan was demoted by the Electoral Council after Magnus' death, right?"

Emmanuelle's delicate cheeks revealed some embarrassment. At that time, when Magnus died, the favored Elector of Rickland had no ability to compete for the throne of emperor, and all parties wanted to compete for the throne of power.

Juan, who had a lot of connections and was Caledor's representative in the empire, was naturally the first to be put out by all parties to prevent the Liebowitz family from taking advantage and leaving the throne in Nuln.

"The Liebowitz family did something wrong in this matter, but Priest Juan has always retained the title of Master Engineer of Wisen Territory, and is also the founder and honorary dean of the Gunnery Academy...

Since Priest Juan and Legion Commander Oliveira were stationed in Lauren Loren, the Liebowitz family has always hoped that he can come to Nuen again to guide the development direction of the Gunnery Academy."

The development direction is true, but looking at the technology and influence that Juan carries, it is probably true.

The Phoenix King was thoughtful. As an immortal elf, one of the greatest benefits is the accumulation and application of knowledge.

It takes a lot of time to specialize in a field and reach the top. An engineering apprentice who just understands how to use a wrench becomes an ambassador who knows every screw in the factory. The span during this period is probably half of the dimension of life.

After becoming a master, one has to consider more than just keeping the original state. Inheritance is a crucial link in a discipline. Many technologies have been lost in history, largely due to the high threshold and the picky eyes of the masters, especially the rune blacksmiths of the short stack.

Engineering can still rely on a few textbooks to make rare green-skinned things. Although the principles are not understood, as long as it can be moved, it is a success.

But the rune blacksmith is different. A little bit of minor mistakes will cause the collapse of the entire rune system. The dwarves who have experienced many historical changes have not preserved the powerful rune technology intact, so that Torek keeps sending people back and forth between Lustria and the Giants' Home Mountains to reversely infer the ancient technology.

And Juan... Imrick looked at the sincere look of the Countess and thought that the old man must have revealed something that should not be said to Wisen Territory, which must include Caledor's vital elven rune technology.

But traditional rune technology... has long been banned.

"Emmanuelle, tell me the truth, how much rune technology did Juan reveal to you?"

The Countess, whose thoughts were seen through, was a little lacking in confidence, and stretched out her white index finger: "Just a little bit."

"A little bit?"

Imric would never believe it, if it was a few relatively useless runes, the Rune Research Institute, which was already on the right track at the Aldolf School of Magic, would definitely not let the Countess ask for it in person.

"Countess, let me tell you." The Grand Tutor of the Amethyst Academy who was watching on the sidelines could not stand this inefficient way of communication. Emmanuelle was not good at magic or martial arts, but she had a smart heart.

It was the best choice to share her worries in time.

Espeth, whose skin was mostly covered by purple gauze, nodded to greet her. Although there was a layer of magic between them, she could still feel the power of the Phoenix King on the other side. It seemed that all the secrets were seen through with just a glance.

"Your Majesty the Phoenix King, I am the Grand Tutor of the Amethyst Academy and the Countess's advisor, Elspeth von Duncan. I am asking you to communicate with me because of my own ideas."

"Generally speaking, I hate mages who manipulate the wind of Shaxu, but you seem to have made a vow to Mor..."

Espes nodded silently: "I swear, in the name of Maul, to use the power of Shash to guard the dead souls of the empire and protect the people of Sigmar from harm."

"Then you are qualified to communicate with me, and the Phoenix King will listen to your request."

Such arrogance did not cause Espes to pay much attention. Compared with the elf mages he met when he was studying in Altdorf, Imrik's attitude was considered gentle.

"Before his death, His Majesty Magnus asked Priest Juan to stay and help the engineering development of the empire. According to the records kept in the Nunn Palace, Priest Juan left a manuscript that recorded the secrets of the elven runes... …”

Imrik frowned. This was no small matter. The person who truly summarized the Elven Runes into a system was Caledor Dragon Tamer. In name, the Dragon Court and the Vaal Church were co-owners.

He did not inform the church or report to the court, which is considered treason and heresy.

Espes noticed the strangeness of the Phoenix King, but continued: "We tried to learn the secrets of runes, which is a great temptation for humans... We made some progress at the beginning, and the armor and weapons became more Tough and sharp, musket shooting is more accurate.

But... the hidden dangers that come with it make us feel sad. Most people who successfully study go crazy, and some of the remaining people can only live to be more than thirty years old..." (End of this chapter)
