Great Nobleman.

Chapter 2077 The Times Are Moving Forward!
At noon, they went to the palace for a banquet.

When they returned to the mansion, it was already past dusk and the sky had completely darkened.

Walking along the shores of the White Elf Lake, I noticed that Brand and Lord Holland beside me both had thoughtful expressions on their faces.

Yersin couldn't help but ask curiously:

"So what did you talk about all afternoon inside the barrier?"
Are we perhaps going to target that "Demon Martial God" of the "Radiant Flame Hall"?

Upon hearing this, Lord Holland said irritably:

What are you thinking about?

Many powerful figures on the mainland have signed a ceasefire agreement with the [Radiant Flame Hall], so if we really want to make a move, we'll have to wait until the agreement expires!

Seeing that his guess had been rejected, Yersin continued:

"If force doesn't work, then they must be secretly gathering intelligence and trying to steal the inheritance?"

Since someone has secretly completed a higher level of inheritance design, we should at least try to steal it and learn from it!

Like Brand and his group, because their mage corps shone brightly on the continental battlefield.

Hissali's guards frequently catch suspicious individuals lurking around the borders of Morningflower Territory!

As they spoke, they noticed that Lord Holland's face grew increasingly dark.

Yersen then changed the subject:
"If it's not this, then this gathering of everyone isn't to exchange and pass on knowledge, or to advance further in their realms and explore the possibility of touching the [Abyss], is it?"

Although each of our families has its own unique knowledge passed down through generations, we don't share this information casually.

The content of everyone's discussion will definitely only reach a relatively superficial level and will never go too deep.

In my opinion, this kind of exchange is fundamentally incapable of achieving the goal of exploring higher realms!

Brand smiled and waved his hand, saying:

“Yelson, we don’t necessarily have to achieve the ultimate goal. It would be good if we could gain something. This is something that can’t be accomplished overnight.”

Of course, we didn't have enough time this afternoon, and our conversation wasn't detailed or in-depth enough.

However, I'll pay a visit to Elder Edmund and the Headmaster later.

Yersin asked in surprise:

"Is this really the topic?"

Brand smiled and nodded:
"That's right! Anyway, I feel fine!"

Seeing Brand's cheerful expression, Lord Holland joked:
"Looks like you had a very fruitful afternoon?"
That makes sense, you're just a Grand Magister, the topics discussed by three Archmages will definitely broaden your horizons.

Upon hearing such a disparaging remark, Brand quickly retorted:

"My lord, don't forget that although my personal cultivation level is not outstanding, I am very experienced in legion warfare."

When it comes to knowledge in the realm of top-tier mage groups, I, as the librarian, still hold a place in the Human Alliance.

Otherwise, why would Uncle Berhand invite me over?

Lord Holland asked curiously:
"So you revealed some bits and pieces of the [Power Beyond] to them?"

Brand shrugged and said:

"How could that be? That's our family's highest tradition."

As he said this, he noticed a mocking look on Lord Holland's face.

Brand further explained:

“Besides the power of transcendence, we do have other things you can offer.”

For example, we know pretty much the core reason why the Empire failed to build a large mage corps.

"It's just that this gathering came so suddenly, I haven't figured out how to tell them yet."

Upon hearing this, Yersin suddenly joked:

"I haven't figured out how to tell them?"

"Are you really not unsure what kind of good price you want to sell it for?"

Upon hearing this, Brand tilted his head back and said in a serious tone:

"Yelsen!"
Please don't judge others by your own narrow-minded and stingy standards.

The members of our North Holland family have always been generous!

Seeing that the topic was getting further and further off track, Lord Holland waved his hand and said:
"Alright, because of the confidentiality agreement, Brand and I can't reveal the specific content of this exchange."

Moreover, because the incident happened suddenly and no one was prepared in advance, there wasn't much valuable information.

If there's another opportunity next time, we'll suggest broadening the restrictions a bit and bringing you and others in as well.

However, on the other hand, His Majesty the Emperor did make a good point: Although our continent has ended the war and entered an era of peace.

Commercial trade and mutual assistance were the main themes for all ethnic groups on the mainland for more than a year after the war ended.

However, we certainly cannot slacken our efforts in developing our military capabilities.

Especially you, Brand.

The library enjoys the reputation of being the most advanced military force on the mainland.

To the enemy, you are their number one foe!

Upon hearing this, Brand shrugged indifferently and said:
"Then I'll wait for them to come to me."

Seeing Brand's completely indifferent attitude, Lord Holland smiled and said nothing more.

Based on his understanding of Brand, this was clearly a sign of confidence!

……

The gathering of Brand and others at Kaya Palace did not cause any stir.

Although the proposal from the Caesar Empire has been secretly recognized by other empires, and everyone has quickly begun to discuss the specific methods and procedures for subsequent exchanges.

But this matter remained undisclosed.

Compared to these events happening in secret, the information about the appearance of the Radiant White Dragon and the Demon God on the battlefield of Osia Continent eventually spread over time due to the large number of witnesses.

The middle and upper classes of each continent received the news one after another, and began to discuss it extensively.

The topics everyone was discussing were surprisingly similar:
Times are moving forward!
In those bygone eras, rebellions broke out in the country, and occasionally, beast tides or something like that would occur.

Any Grand Knight who comes along is a god-like figure in the eyes of ordinary people and forces, and many powerful people are very proud of him!
But now, war has broken out between the continents.

An ordinary great knight of this strength would only be considered a minor leader in a war.

The legendary champion knights and archmages of the past have become less powerful and invincible.

And yet, an even higher peak appeared on his career path!

The abyss weighed heavily on everyone's heads!
With continuous upgrades in cognition.

Many people have the illusion that the world has changed dramatically without them noticing!

Of course, these things did not affect Brand.

After all, the heavy Abyss had long been in their hands.

After the banquet at the palace, Brand went straight back to his research at home.

At this point, he and Celine have been working together to create the rune array for the [Summoning Sea Halberd - Prototype] for over four to five months.

—The forging of this divine artifact is basically in its final stages!

So Brand and Celine stopped paying attention to the various ups and downs outside, and even the knight golems on the continent of Osia simply went into seclusion to forge.

They then devoted their energy to drawing rune arrays.

Against this backdrop, as time passed little by little.

That afternoon, in the research lab at Chenhuabao.

As the final three-dimensional stroke of the rune was outlined by [Imagination Manifestation] within the intricate rune array before them, resembling a giant whale, under Brand's gaze,...

This composite rune array, with the [Ultimate Great Magic - Summoning the Sea] at its core, has finally been completed!

They then infused their magic into it, activating every node of the entire magic array's base.

The entire whale-shaped rune array began to emit a bright blue light, as if it were about to come alive.

Its flippers began to sway with increasing amplitude, and its body began to sway more and more noticeably.

And then, suddenly, with a movement that looked like it was about to flip over.

Its body suddenly disintegrated into countless thread-like structures, collapsing into its interior.

In the blink of an eye, a heavy greatsword with a deep blue, translucent, symmetrical blade, a gilded guard inlaid with dark red gemstones in a cross shape, a cylindrical dark red hilt, and a rose pommel slowly emerged from the gradually dimming, blinding light.

When the light surrounding it completely dimmed and the runic array stabilized completely.

The Elemental Legion then presented the completed [Summoning the Sea Greatsword - Prototype] to Brand and Celine.

After gently stroking its beautiful blade with my palm and thoroughly examining it, I realized that it was a magnificent sword.

Brand couldn't help but exclaim:
"It's truly a design worthy of ours, it looks absolutely beautiful!"

Upon hearing this, Celine smiled and echoed:
"After all, it's our hard work!"
