Ushering In The Internet Era In The Magical World

Chapter 12: She Is Merely an Accident



Chapter 12: She Is Merely an Accident

"So, he is Lord Dandell, the Magical Deity? He looks so young. Didn't the rumors say that he's already more than 200 years old?"

"I didn't expect I would ever get to see Lord Dandell in the flesh today. That chap Jackson is going to be so jealous when he finds out!"

"Tsk tsk. It's game over for this dude!"

"He deserves it for scolding the mage apprentices. Furthermore, they are Lord Dandell's students. Even hanging him would be too easy a way out for him!"

Whispers could be heard from the corners of the tavern.

Some were excited to see Dandell the Magical Deity in person

Some were sneering at Yu Sheng'an's overconfidence as he dared to antagonize the mage apprentices while being a mere peasant. He was simply courting death!

Dandell the Magical Deity frowned and lectured his grand niece after he heard her accusation, "Stop your monkey business. Have you mastered the 'Wind's Impact'? How dare you come to the tavern for drinks if you haven't mastered it yet? Scram now. This is not the place for you to be idling away!"

The customers in the tavern were taken aback.

There were many heated gazes at the very next moment. He really deserved to be one of the Empire's Four Main Pillars because he was so fair and just!

"Grandpa Dandell" Dorothy was shocked. Then, she pouted her lips and started to weep pitifully.

"All right, you can stop pretending now!" a sarcastic voice said, taking everyone by surprise.

Then, they saw Yu Sheng'an smirking at Dorothy from the back of the disappearing rock barrier.

"Did you see that?! Grandpa Dandell, don't you see how smug he is?"

Dorothy was ecstatic as she quickly pointed and yelled at Yu Sheng'an.

"Shut up!" Dandell admonished her angrily. The soul-piercing rebuke almost resembled a banshee's howl and made many people pale instantaneously. Those who had a weak constitution even had blood seeping out of their mouths.

Dorothy's body jolted and her face paled.

Dandell looked at Yu Sheng'an and placed his right hand on his chest as he said embarrassedly, "My sincere apologies. The Felix students have disgraced themselves in your presence."

Dandell's heartfelt and respectful gesture had caused an upheaval in the tavern!

Who could have made the Magical Deity show such a respectful gesture?

Delois was stunned!

He looked at Yu Sheng'an in a daze as he couldn't believe the guy who had asked to buy him a drink could make a Magical Deity greet him with such respect!

Dorothy widened her eyes; disbelief and shock were written all over her pretty face.

She almost couldn't believe that the character whom she used to vent her anger on was a big shot that she absolutely couldn't afford to antagonize!

The other mage apprentices who came with her were all dumbfounded.

They looked at Dandell the Magical Deity and then at Delois. Countless speculations began to arise in their brains.

Yu Sheng'an smiled and said meaningfully, "Disgraced?"

"I'm very curious about one thing. Since you already knew the place and time, why didn't you place this tavern under a lockdown? Even if you chose not to have a lockdown, shouldn't you have been monitoring the movements in this place closely?"

Yu Sheng'an wasn't a lowly peasant of that world who didn't know how the upper crust conducted their affairs.

Even though poverty had restricted his imagination, the Blue Star's advanced Internet still allowed him to have a sneak peek into the upper crust's lifestyle.

Deducing from what he had seen before, shouldn't the Queville Empire have checked the Mage's Hat out thoroughly, monitoring everyone who went in and out, or even send someone there for a full rehearsal before they met up?

However, in the end, he almost couldn't find any traces of human interference.

But then, Yu Sheng'an finally realized what was going on and pointed it out, "Are you displaying the self-confidence of a mighty nation to me?

The self-confidence of a mighty nation?

What a precise description!

Dandell praised him secretly but his heart began to feel heavy. From a single instance one may infer the whole. The Internet Deity was even trickier to handle that he had imagined!

"No. This is a show of good faith!" Dandell replied.

Negotiation was a skill. Of course, he knew what kind of attitude was more conducive for a negotiation.

Not interfering with the "Mage's Hat" was a show of good faith. It was also a show of confidence at the deeper level!

He knew that the more unconfident a person was, the more they loved to boast with unnecessary and overelaborate formalities.

"Including this mage apprentice?" Yu Sheng'an looked at Dorothy.

Dorothy paled immediately. She could already guess that Yu Sheng'an had a rather important identity from their conversation.

"She is merely an accident." Dandell had never mentioned that Yu Sheng'an was the Internet Deity in the entire conversation.

That was because they were at the capital of the Queville Empire, the country of magic. It was not ideal for the people to know that they were contacting the Internet Deity.

Yu Sheng'an glanced at Dorothy again before he turned and walked to the bar.

Dandell quickly followed him. When he passed by Dorothy, his gaze made Dorothy shiver and break out in a cold sweat.

She realized that she had gotten herself into trouble!

Big trouble!

Sitting next to the bar, Yu Sheng'an was holding onto his half-finished "Warrior's Blood."

Dandell ordered a "Bloody Mary" as if he were a weather-beaten old mercenary. The two of them sat next to each other, looking toward the interior of the bar and began to chat about a random topic.

The bartenderwho had previously boasted to be a mage apprenticestood at one side nervously after he served the "Bloody Mary." He didn't know where to place his hands so he continued wiping the same glass repeatedly.

"Your Excellency is not a deity of the Aizea Continent?"

"That's right."

"May I know where did Your Excellency came from? I loved to travel and sightsee when I was younger. I visited quite a few planes. Maybe I have visited Your Excellency's hometown before."

"The Azure Blue Star, where 70% of its surface is blue oceans. Have you been there before?"

Yu Sheng'an was looking at Dandell with a hint of expectation.

"No, I haven't. The multiverse is indeed vast and boundless!" Dandell shook his head as he exclaimed in his heart secretly, He is indeed an external deity!

"May I know Your Excellency's motive in spreading the Internet Divine Skill?"

Yu Sheng'an bottomed up the "Warrior's Blood" in his glass and said, "If there's anything you want to say, just say it out!"

Dandell paused for a moment before saying, "The Queville Empire is founded on the basis of magic. Your Excellency's Internet has already touched our empire's foundation. I hope Your Excellency could shut down the online classes. As compensation, we would allow Your Excellency to spread your divine skills in our empire."

"I don't need your permission. If you can, ban it in the whole empire!"

"Crack"

Dandell's cocktail glass began to emit a soft crackling sound.

This slight sound was so ear-piercing in the tavern!

At this moment, the tavern was completely silent.

No one was talking and no one left. Everyone was pretending to drink as if nothing was happening. They were all trying to listen in on their conversation, which of course they couldn't, at all. Sometimes, they would boldly take a quick glance and then lower their heads. Their hearts were racing nervously; all of them had a sensation, as if they were witnessing history in the making!

In fact, they were indeed witnessing history in the making.

"Shut down the magic module for the online courses. This is the Empire's bottom line!" Dandell's voice was calm but his powerful magic was surging.

Yu Sheng'an turned to look at Dandell. Then, he suddenly asked with a smile, "Where did magic originate from?"

Dandell was taken aback. Then, he heard Yu Sheng'an mumble to himself, "The books said, 'At the dawn of life, humans were as weak as insects. They had to survive in the darkest corners and were alway surrounded by the shadow of death. Hence, people with great abilities began study the markings of the magic beasts and tested out magic using their own bodies before they learned about the magical engravings of all beasts and founded the path of magic.'"

Yu Sheng'an paused before continuing, "I don't understand. Where did the mages' learning spirit go? You reject the Internet simply because you've never seen it before? Aren't you afraid that it could be the latest magic beast, which will consume you if you don't learn about it?

This question jolted Dandell into alertness. He said after a moment of silence, "I think you should be called the Deity of Deceit instead!"

Yu Sheng'an didn't care about Dandell's sarcasm. He sighed, "I don't understand what you're worrying about. You think that I have touched your foundation? In fact, on the contrary, I think I'm helping you guys.

"Although The Queville Empire said it was founded on magic, how many of your people can actually cultivate magic? Now with the arrival of the Internet, everything is different. Soon, everyone will be able to cultivate magic, and do you know what that means?"

Yu Sheng'an was going to answer his own question, when Dandell became serious and said with solemn tone, "It means chaos and war!

"Everyone wants to have power, but the magical resources are limited. In order to compete for the limited magical resources they would only fight with one another. They would become more difficult to control. They would also challenge the Empire's authority and maybe establish the cult of the Internet under your influence!"

Yu Sheng'an was shocked as he stared at Dandell in a daze. Then, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He finally understood what the Queville Empire was worrying about.
