Chapter 100 - The Change of an Era
From how the dark elf refused to reveal Joshua’s connection with the demons, Madam Schroder was able to make guesses of Joshua’s identity. Then, she asked the dark elf some more questions.
From the answers that were given, Madam Schoder could sense that the dark elf was extremely worried about Joshua’s identity. It was as if she would lose her head should she reveal the slightest bit of information regarding Joshua’s identity.
This was an extremely strange behavior for an organization that specializes in selling information. It could be said that it was a behavior that could affect future relationships with their employers.
“Are you not planning to stay and finish watching the final performance?”
The great majority of the information Madam Schroder sought was information that this dark elf was unwilling to speak of. She swore that this intelligence dealer possessed the worst attitude of all intelligence dealers she had encountered in her life.
That said, while her attitude might be bad, Madam Schroder knew that this dark elf was very capable.
The House of Blackwood has already created a close relationship with the forest elves. Madam Schroder did not mind enlisting this dark elf too.
“My apologies, Grand Duchess of Blackwood, I am not interested in those childish performances.”
The old man nearly a hundred years old rubbed his forehead. He calmed himself and began to continue observing the rune sequences. By thinking them as the most basic english letters, Gray Mage soon discovered some pattern to the runes…
“Unbelievable! This knowledge, I need some time to research it! No, I need a lot of time!”
Having received a whole new way to utilize runes, Gray Mage ignored Joshua completely. He quickly walked toward the exit of the Crystal Palace with his owl still on his shoulder. He was muttering things as he walked out.
Seeing the manner how the gray robed old man left this place, Ciri turned to Joshua and whispered, “He… could he have gone insane?”
“His reaction is understandable. After all, that’s knowledge crossing multiple eras…”
Right after Joshua’s words left his mouth, a wave of exclamations sounded from the direction of the stage.
The reason for that was because an arcanotech device called the ‘magic-induced perpetual motion machine’ appeared on the stage. Standing where he was at, Joshua could barely see the stage and the arcanotech device being exhibited.
The so-called ‘perpetual motion machine’ was nothing more than a joke. To Joshua, that arcanotech device was nothing more than an improved steam engine. It had only changed steam-induced motion to magic.
But, today, that machine became the division point that would allow this world to enter the industrial age.
