Chapter 358: Chapter 0358 Wireless (Subscription Requested)

“Fifth level?!”

Surprised voices echoed from all around.

From the dimension waves, two figures emerged. One, clad in a long robe, with golden hair and an aged countenance, was Dunstan Berg, the chief of the Inner Circle! The other, shrouded in a dark cloak, emitting a dangerous aura, was Celsus, the vice chief.

“Hail to thee, [Arcanic Caster]!”

Su Lu bowed slightly, not at all surprised by Dunstan’s arrival.

If the chief couldn’t even detect this intrusion, Green Tree Castle would have been obliterated long ago.

“Chief, it was I who intruded earlier on. Su Lu had nothing to do with it!” Sleydon Watt quickly explained.

Understanding that Su Lu was at the fifth level, and a unique kind at that, he didn’t want to make another powerful enemy because of his actions.

“What brings you here?”

Celsus asked first.

He sensed the danger from Su Lu, a keen perception amongst peers.

“Hmm? Unexpectedly, esteemed Celsus is a fifth level Assassin…”

Su Lu chuckled, “My purpose? Consider it saying hello, after all, I used to be part of the Inner Circle…”

“What? Part of the Inner Circle?”

This news obviously startled both Celsus and Dunstan, causing their auras to waver.

“The two of you, it’s like this.”

Sleydon, showing a struggling expression, stepped forth and quietly explained Su Lu’s background.

“Ascended to legend status within such a short time?”

Dunstan expressed his admiration, “Such peerless talent indeed!”

“A fair bit of talent, combined with enough luck, I would say!” Su Lu smiled gently.

In the history of the Main World, there have been even more monstrous geniuses than him. With his current strength, he is more than capable of guarding small secrets.

Of course, if the true nature of his attribute column was exposed, nothing needs to be said – even the Divine might take action against him.

“Of course, every person who achieves legendary status has unique opportunities. As long as you are not offering sacrifices to the Evil God, or a follower of demons, everything is negotiable.”

Dunstan affably chuckled, “But your purpose for coming here tonight, I presume it’s not just that, is it?”

“Of course, there is another matter.”

Su Lu spoke as if he was discussing a minor issue, “The patent for my ‘telegraph’, approved by the Green Tree Castle and registered in the Federal Patent Bureau. Right? But presently, members of the Francis family are shamelessly exploiting my achievements, while scheming to put me in mortal danger. It might not be too long before evidence of my forcible entry into the fifth floor of the White Tower and perusing some professional information will fall into your hands.” freewebnσvel.cøm

When he was at the third or fourth level, exposure of this matter would have severe consequences.

But now?

Dunstan and Celsus glanced at each other. They did not utter a single word.

Some fourth level professional information compared to a legendary professional. Anyone with a brain would know how to choose. Even a smidgen of goodwill would be beneficial.

“Alright… there’s no need to mention the past. On such a night, something seems amiss.”

The elder gentleman smiled gently and snapped his fingers.

Boom! Boom!

A series of sofas and tea tables automatically arranged themselves. Invisible servants brought honey cakes and sweet wine from outside: “Let’s give the guests a proper welcome.”

Although this was Sleydon’s territory, in front of the chief, he had no say, solemnly serving wine in silence.

Even a [Great Arcanist], formidable in any part of the Federation, was insignificant in front of three legendary figures.

“Thank you.”

Su Lu accepted the kindness completely, sinking into the sofa and popping a honey cake into his mouth, “It tastes good.”

With his inspiration and scholarly knowledge, Dunstan could not play tricks in front of him.

“Hehe… this is my favorite midnight snack, unfortunately, I can’t eat too much. Too bad for the cavities…”

Dunstan showed a helpless expression, lifting a cup of sweet wine, “Although arcane can solve it… An [Arcane] ought to use arcane power in moderation, not for enjoyment. This is our firm motto!”

“Oh? Where were we?”

He tapped his own head, making a ‘forgetful’ expression, “As an academic institution, our attitude is neutral. We won’t take any action against you just because of the evidence provided by the Francis consortium. I can promise you that… However, the power of the Francis consortium cannot be underestimated. They can influence the upper echelons of the Federation, control the power of the media, and master the throat of public opinion… Of course, what I want to say is that they already have legendary level combat power within their family.”

For people like the Francis consortium, they will definitely go to all lengths to cultivate their own professionals.

In the current era of the Dawn of the Gods, it would be considered lucky for such a consortium to cultivate a fifth level professional, but it’s not unheard of.

“A legend?”

Su Lu seemed slightly eager, “I’d like to try that…”

After becoming a [Wandering Mage], he hadn’t really made a move using his full power!

Dealing with Dragon the First, the necromantic dragon, didn’t count, as the latter hadn’t fully recovered its legendary strength.

“No no…”

Dunstan frantically shook his head, “A battle between two Legends would have too much of an impact on the Federation. It’s just a telegraph company, after all. It doesn’t have to come to this… If you trust us, I hope we can resolve this matter on behalf of the Green Tree Castle.”

He was showing goodwill to Su Lu.

This was the behavior of a major power leader. When encountering a powerful person, one should try to make friends instead of pushing away or making enemies.

Even if it was the fifth level of Francis, if Su Lu were to visit in person, they would probably easily decide to abandon Orchi.

This was the deterrent power of a legendary professional!

If Su Lu agreed, Dunstan was confident he could mediate the conflict between the two sides.

“That would be fine, but I have my own way of resolving the issue.”

Su Lu wore an inexplicable smile, “I heard that the telegraph company is going public soon? I have written a new paper here, you can take a look first.”

“Oh? I look forward to reading your work.”

Dunstan chuckled, took the paper, and his expression turned serious, “Wireless telegraph?”

As an [Arcanic Caster] who advanced from a [Great Arcanist], he himself was a great scientist, and he could make a judgment with a casual glance.

“Sleydon! Take a look…”

Sleydon took the paper, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead instantly.

He knew that Su Lu was the inventor of the telegraph, and now looking at this paper on wireless telegraphy, with substantial feasibility, he immediately understood Su Lu’s plan.

Wired telegraphs require wires stretched across the entire continent, even across the ocean, which are costly, and hence carry a hefty price tag.

But wireless telegraphy is different!

It only requires two sufficiently high antennas to bridge countless distances!

Especially now, Orchi’s telegraph company has invested a huge amount of money to lay a lot of wired telegraph networks, but it is far from paying it off.

If wireless telegraphy was leaked, the value of the wired telegraph would plummet, possibly causing instant bankruptcy!

‘This… This must have been a countermeasure that he thought of when he invented the telegraph, right? Such cunning, even if he wasn’t fifth level, would be terrifying!’

Sleydon felt his hands shaking.
