The Dark King - Chapter 250

Chapter 250

Dudian smoothly closed the door as they went into Old Fulin's room . Dudian sat down on chair and looked at him . : "Attendance of two masters in the banquet should make the others aware of our consortium's existance . From today on we would no longer be a small consortium in their eyes but a threat with a great potential . The original balance of power will be destablized because of us . It is not a good thing for us but neither a bad thing . In any case, we will have to take other consortium into consideration a lot from now on . "

Old Fulin nodded . : "I'm aware of that . They will pressure us but we have only you to rely on . However if you become a master in the 'Temple of Elements' then we will have a strong foundation . At least we will be able to win over one or two allies . The future of our consortium will be fixed . As long as no major event happens we won't be suppressed . "

Dudian's eyes lit up . : "I believe we will encounter trouble sooner than we expect . But it does not matter . You take care of your health . I will have something in my mind!"

Old Fulin nodded . : "I will . "

"You should sleep early . " Dudian got up and shut the windows to isolate the cold wind . : "I have some stuff to solve out so I'll go back . " He turned away and left the room . In the corridor he looked at another room, however he recovered his eyes and went downstairs . He took the carriage and went back to his castle .

In the blink of an eye two days passed .

After the banquet in St . Peters everything was as usual in commercial district . Only the group of high-level nobles knew what had happened in the there . At the same time there were small waves set off in the art scene .

"Oak . . . "

"If I love you -"

The beautiful poem was chanted everywhere . The servants often heard the young ladies and young gentleman read the poem in the castles . Even the ordinary people in the commercial district were aware of the poem . Some brave boys would boldly recite this poem to their beloved for confession .

In addition to the eloquent poem its structure and content was analyzed by well-known poets . Some couldn't find the meaning of the phrases 'trumpet creeper' and the 'spring rain' . Some said that it was very strange as they had heard only of 'disaster rains' . One poet even evaluate the phrases as 'randomly fabricated' words and accused that original writer knew nothing about poems .

The day after the poem was spread classical poet, master Taize made evaluation and analysis of the poem . According to him 'trumpet creeper' was a flow which had been extinct for a long time . The word 'spring' in the phrase 'spring rain' belonged to a season which didn't occur anymore after the great disaster . The writer of the poem according to master Taize had great knowledge of the history .

All the people realized after the analysis of the master Taize that these two unfamiliar terms had such a far-reaching origin . Moreover author of the poem was a well learned man who would use such words to describe the feelings .

There were some poets who asked questions and comments about the poem but the arguments were more vague and objective . Noone was willing to negatively criticize the poem after it was confirmed that those phrases had such an origin . No one wall willing to be in an awkward position .

Dudian didn't expect that his reputation would quickly increase in poet and aristocratic circle because of the poem .

Mount Er . Burong family .

"Even the rain . . . even the sun . . . " Jenny was sitting close to the window as she read the verse from the letter in her hand . Her eyes moistened and large tears began to fall down . The tears slided down her cheeks and soaked the paper .

The warm sun shone from the window . There was apigeon standing on the windowsill . It was combing its own soft feathers . A reel was tied to its legs . 'Sarah Mel' was engraved on the reel .

. . .

. . .

In the blink of an eye half a month passed .

"Divine mission -"

"Improve 'snake crossbow'!"

At the beginning of the new month Dudian also received a task from the 'Temple of Elements' . 'Snake crossbow' was invented in year 263 . Its origin was dating back for forty years . Snake crossbow has to be improved in few areas . The pulling system had to be eased up . The new version should take wind's velocity into account so that it would be difficult for enemy to track . . . . . . "

Dudian carefully read the content of the task . He gradually understoof what kind of a crossbow they wanted to create . In general they wanted a crossbow with a more innovative structure . According to the requirements it didn't have to be complicated crossbow . However, according to Dudian there was no need to make any improvements on 'snake crossbow' . If he wanted to make it flexible then the arrows strengths would be much lower compared to an ordinary crossbow . Although it would be seemingly advanced and easy to use but in fact it would not bring any advantages . The idea to begin with was wrongly positioned .

The arrow is all about shooting to kill . Its speed and strength had to enhanced up . Why would someone care if the enemy could see where it came from? As long as the enemy couldn't escape and died then it would successfully do its job . Improving the snake crossbow wasn't going to bring up any of these affects . The architects were sitting and engaging in research in the Temple . Most of them would never personally experience a battle so their views and perception of weapons didn't cover in-depth knowledge about their practical use .

Because of this, naturally the development of the products may bring 'easy to use' ability but won't have real effect in the battle .

Dudian noted down this as his first task . He wasn't only concerned about the factions in the Temple but he knew that other consortia will pay close attention to him too . So he was going to do his best .

He put away the drawings and looked at the snake crossbow . He wasn't going to modift the finished product but would directly produce his own . He directly went back to his research room and began to make another crossbow .

In the blink of an eye half day passed .

Dudian came out of his research room in the afternoon . There were two crossbows on his shoulders as he went to the mission center .

"Dean?" As he was outside the castle he saw Barnard calling out to him . There were roll of drawings in Bernards hand . He was surprised to see Dudian with two crossbows . : "What you been up to? "
