Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 519 - 488: Schopenhauer and Weasley

"The modification technology of the Energy Tower-Constant Temperature Barrier is..." Inside a small Flying Airship heading to the Northern Territory, Schopenhauer was painstakingly organizing his words, trying to simplify the description of the technology he was about to introduce as much as possible.

He received a summons from Perfikot, and at the same time, an invitation to attend the adult banquet of the Lord of the North, which made Schopenhauer sit on the airship to the Northern Territory with a feeling of anxiety and excitement.

In order to make a good impression in front of Perfikot, he needed to do his utmost to be flawless, at least not to be despised by Perfikot for being too verbose.

It could also be understood as Schopenhauer trying his best to enhance the professionalism of his upcoming explanations in front of Perfikot, avoiding being thought of as inadequate by her.

In the past few months, the church has been conducting research on the modification of the Energy Tower together with the Mage Association, but this work undoubtedly cannot bypass the crucial role of the Alchemist.

On the one hand, construction inevitably involves Alchemists, whether it’s modifying various equipment structures and parts or synthesizing various precious materials through Alchemy, it cannot bypass the Alchemists.

On the other hand, the entire Energy Tower was designed by Alchemists, and a large amount of Alchemy knowledge and technology is applied in it. Without an understanding Alchemist involved, the church and the Mage Association would have no way to start with the Energy Tower.

Therefore, when the church and the Mage Association embarked on the relevant cooperation, they naturally needed a sufficiently professional Alchemist to participate in the relevant work.

Not to mention, the church does not have the relevant scientific research capability. In this project, their role is to provide venues and research materials, as well as to ease the relationship between the Mage Association and the Empire’s official institutions.

After all, some of the requests and suggestions made by the Mage Association previously were simply too stupid, making the relationship between the Mage Association and the Empire’s official institutions not very harmonious.

Schopenhauer was assigned to the project construction site in such circumstances, fully participating in the research and construction of this project.

In this process, Schopenhauer thoroughly studied and analyzed the Energy Tower designed by Perfikot, after all, the renovation project of the Mage Association required the Energy Tower as an energy source to drive the Magic Array and barrier.

And during this process, he was captivated by Perfikot’s design, fully realizing the talent and achievements of this young genius.

This made Schopenhauer fully aware of the chasm-like gap between him and Perfikot, and to some extent, he became a loyal admirer of Perfikot, having a tendency to regard Perfikot as an idol.

Although Schopenhauer himself did not admit to this, it did not prevent him from being anxious and uncertain when he was about to meet Perfikot.

As for the mage accompanying him to visit Perfikot, he appeared relaxed, even having the leisure to flip through a leisure book, although if he had not held the book upside down, it might have really made Schopenhauer think that he was calm.

"Mage Weasley, your book is upside down." Schopenhauer kindly reminded the other, so this mage, with whom he had a fairly amiable relationship, would not lose face.

Hearing Schopenhauer’s reminder, Mage Weasley hurriedly adjusted the book in his hand and then thanked Schopenhauer.

Schopenhauer looked at him, still somewhat pretending to be calm, and couldn’t help sighing. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

He knew that the other wanted to maintain the Mage Association’s dignity as much as possible, but if Schopenhauer hadn’t learned about the disgraceful things the Mage Association did during this time, he might have still thought the Mage Association had some dignity.

After all, in the distant past, the Mage Association had always been renowned for its mystique and nobility and was a quite influential existence in the Empire.

But the previously described proposals and operations of the Mage Association, which can only be described as stupid, have already destroyed the prestige and mystery it accumulated over several centuries.

Perhaps those who are unaware might still have some reverence for the Mage Association, but for those who have already understood the situation, the Mage Association has completely lost face.

As for substance, since the last president Endymion had an incident a hundred years ago, the Mage Association has actually been hard to say that it has any substance.

In these hundred years, the Mage Association has indeed declined severely, nowadays it can’t even send out a decent mage.

Just like this Mage Weasley in front of him, who is equivalent to a Knight Level mage, but this is already one of the few backbones of the Mage Association, there are only two-digit numbers of the same level in the entire Mage Association.

However, converting to the same level of Great Knights, two digits? The Empire can pull out a Knight Order of two-digit Great Knights, and there won’t be fewer Alchemists than this number.

So it could be imagined what kind of decline the Mage Association has fallen into.

"Mr. Schopenhauer, have you met the Count of the North? What kind of person is she? I heard she’s still a little girl and very cruel?" Weasley finally couldn’t continue pretending to be calm and inquired about the news from Schopenhauer.

Schopenhauer shook his head: "No, I have not seen the Count of the North, although I have admired her for a long time, I have never had the chance to see this Empire’s most talented Alchemist in person.

But what you heard is generally correct, Count Brandelis is indeed a young lady, she’s only seventeen years old this year! Compared to her, most people’s entire life in this world seems so stupid and dull.

This also makes it easy to understand why there are rumors about her cruel nature, after all, geniuses often cannot tolerate stupidity.

Not to mention that as an Alchemist, her way of doing things probably leans more towards efficiency rather than unnecessary benevolence."

Apparently, Schopenhauer’s interpretation of Perfikot’s character involves a considerable degree of his own conjecture. After all, before being humbled by Perfikot and losing his confidence, Schopenhauer was also a genius praised by the world, he even once looked down on Perfikot.

Projecting himself onto others, Schopenhauer thought if it were him, he might also take relatively extreme measures against those intolerably stupid people.

This is also one of the reasons Schopenhauer tries to create a good impression in front of Perfikot, he doesn’t want to be considered an intolerably stupid person by her as well.

But Schopenhauer obviously misunderstood something, leading to his speculations about Perfikot’s character being completely off track.

Amidst their somewhat deviated from reality speculations, the Flying Airship delivered the two of them to the capital of the Northern Territory, and it docked at the airship berth of the lord’s mansion.
