The Dark King - Chapter 253

Chapter 253

Study room in the second floor of the Ryan castle .

Old Fulin held the letter in his hands for a long time without uttering a word .

Sander was standing on the other side of the table . He saw Old Fulin's facial expression and asked . : "Father! Has something happened to Dean in the Temple?"

Old Fulin was silent as he handed the letter over to him . Sander reached out and took the letter . He couldn't wait to read ot . However, as he read the content his face changed to ugly . He said in a hurry . : "He want to debate? The senior architects are more knowledgable than him . How is he going to defend himself on spot in front of a public? It's been less than a month that he has joined the Temple of Elements . . . This, this . . . "

Old Fulin was thinking so he didn't reply to Sander .

"We should contact him and ask him to withdraw the plea . " Sander said to the Old Fulin . : "It was the first time that he has done a task in the Temple and it was natural for him to fail . Since the last time that he had received the 'epoch' medal many wealthy businessmen have come to join our consortium . Although we have rejected them all but still we maintain business relationship . Moreover if he can't do anything in the debate then the fame and prestige we have established will be shattered!"

Old Fulin slowly asked . : "Do you think he is an impatient person?"

Sander was stunned at the question . He thought about Dudian . He remembered the calm smile on boy's face . The first time when Sander had met him the boy gave a kind of unfathomable feeling . The anxiety in his heart disappeared but Sander still continued . : "Father, after all he has joined the Temple of Elements . He didn't have contact with such knowledge before . Even if his calm and clever but it doesn't mean that . . . Unless he has a plan of his own!? I was just worried that he got awarded with the medal and would act on impulse as he would be afraid to lose face . "

"A man who was able to make a perfect jailbreak would never act on emotions and impulses . Unless he faces a crisis of imminent death . " Old Fulin continued to slowly speak . : "Although I don't know the purpose of his action but I know that certainly there is a plan . The kid is a daredevil . After a few years the old foxes controlling those other consortium's would not be his opponent!"

Sander saw Old Fulin's relaxed expression .

"You send someone to notify him that if he needs our help we are ready at any time . " Old Fulin ordered .

Sander hesitated but still confirmed . : "Yes . "

. . .

. . .

All the other consortia had got the news . Most of them thought that Dudian had acted on impulse and pleaded for debate as he failed to complete the task . For them the knowledge was gathered through long time of study, research and failure . The mind needed to grow with the accumulation of knowledge and experience . They could understand and accept it even if Dudian failed his first task . He would be considered a genius if he could complete his first task in success .

Temple of Elements .

Dudian was in his research room continueing the production of lightning rod . In the blink of an eye two days passed . Dudian's lightening rod was almost finished . He had made almost everything . Now he had to assembly the parts and melt iron pulp to mold the condensation .

Knock! Knock!

Dudian sensed the smell of previous apprentice knight . He opened the door and saw the youth standing at the door . The apprentice had a cautious look on his face . There was a card and envelope in his hands . The youth was scared when he saw the door suddenly open . : "This-this is for you . "

Dudian nodded and reached out to grab them . The card was his pass (ID) to the Temple . He opened the envelope and checked the content of the letter . : "Tomorrow morning at at seven o'clock . . . . " He smiled and throw the letter into the trash box .

Dudian packed up his materials and called the carriage which was standing outside the castle and went back to his own castle .

This carriage was under his exclusive use . It was free of charge and arranged by the Temple of Elements . It was one of the small advantages of being the member of the Temple .

"Black Death Season" April 22nd .

Six thirty in the morning .

Dudian's carriage drover through the Church Mountaint . It was headed over to Architect's Hall built in between tenth and eleventh castle . It looked like a classical cathedtral but covered an rea of thousands of square meters . It was an extremely spacious and huge place . There was an eight meter tall statue in fornt of the hall . It was holding books in his hands . It referred to dedication of the architects towards improving people's living environment .

Dudian saw dozens of carriages parket outside the hall when he got off the carriage . There were some carriage which had banners and flags of different noble families . Most probably they had spent a lot of money only to come here to watch the debate .

Dudian narrowed his eyes and patted his clothes . Afterwards he calmly walked towards the hall .

"Look, that is Dean the creator of the new textile machine!"

"It's him!"

The nearby architects began to call out and tell his name as Dudian stepped out of the carriage . It caused more attention on him .

Dudian was surprised as there was no camera in this era . Moreover newspapers would have only text but no pictures . If there was a big news that needed an illustration then they had to ask a paintor to sketch the outline of the apperance . In such circumstances, he didn't think that there would be so many people who knew his appearance . The charm of the 'epoch' medal was unbeliavable .

Dudian didn't stay much and quickly entered to the hall as he saw these people gather over .

The hall was extremely spacious . There were rows of neat seats . The front was an open place meant for the people to defend themselves .

At the moment, half of the seats were occupied . There were about two or three hundred people . Dudian estimated that people sitting on the final row would be from ordinary background as they wouldn't be hear the arguments spoken in the front .

He went straight to the middle of the aisle and sat down on the left side . There was a desk where his name was written . Moreover the military crossbow made by him was placed on that desk . On the other desk there was the snake crossbow . However the other side hasn't appeared yet .
