"Humph! Sophistry! " The seventy year old man snorted: "Do you think that you can despise everything just because you got the 'epoch' medal? When the sun rises, the darkness has already retreated. Why fight? How many people can you create a work of invention to replace the God of Light to spread the gospel of the Lord? How many people can you benefit by hunting monsters? Can't you tell which is more important? "
Dudian calmly said: "I said that I can quit as a hunter and concentrate on research. But I hope that you won't despise the hunter profession. If there are no hunters hunting monsters outside the giant wall then what can you research? What do you know about the outside of the giant wall? "
"Presumptuous!" The seventy year old man stood up and glared at Dudian: "What are you talking about? Don't you have any etiquette? No wonder you are a peasant! You can't change your bad habits even after entering the Temple! "
Dudian's face was cold: "If you want me to respect your age then I hope that you will show me the cultivation that belongs to your age."
"You!" The seventy year old man was so angry that his eyes were wide open.
"Well, Mr Dean! Don't be rude! Arsen, don't bother with the younger generation. Mr Dean comes from a civilian family and used to be a hunter. It's inevitable that he will have a bad temper. Please forgive him. "The old man tried to persuade Dudian.
The seventy year old man 'Arsen' looked at him and restrained his anger. He coldly looked at Dudian: "Based on your words today, I can conclude that it will be difficult for you to touch the toe of the Lord's boots in the future!"
In the Temple of Elements, 'Lord' referred to the God of Light and 'toe' referred to the master. The origin of the word 'Lord' came from the early days of the Temple. There was a master who had been awarded a prize. He said that he had only touched the toe of the Lord's boots. He had only seen the tip of the iceberg. Later on, this sentence became a popular saying of many masters.
"A lifetime is long. Don't talk too much." Dudian indifferently said.
The old man in his seventies snorted coldly and sat back in his chair, not saying a word.
He had seen too many geniuses and knew how proud they were. Dean was undoubtedly the most dazzling one among them. He was the youngest person in history to win the 'epoch' medal. Therefore, he sighed: "Both of you … Forget it. Mr Dean has agreed to quit the hunter profession and will no longer go outside the giant wall. It shows that he knows the big picture. Arsen, you don't have to follow the younger generation."
Arsen sneered and turned his head.
Dean glanced at Arsen's clothes and continued to listen to the words of the old man in a humble manner.
"In addition to this, the second thing is about the war outside the borders. The continuous war has put a lot of pressure on the border. The military hopes that we can create some new military magic to completely defeat the barbarians. All of you here have made some achievements in the field of military magic. I hope that you can shift your focus to military magic in the near future and strive to create some new products." The broad-faced old man looked around at the crowd and said slowly.
Dean's eyes slightly moved but he didn't speak.
The people on both sides of the long table looked at each other and fell into contemplation. The old man stroked his beard: "Since the last time I made the 'Snow shadow bow' I haven't touched the military divine art for a long time. But I have seen the improved version of the 'Snow shadow bow' made by some intermediate architects. It should be able to upgrade the 'Snow shadow bow'. It should be able to reach the 4 star intermediate grade."
The old man smiled: "Four-star mid-grade is enough. I didn't expect such a terrible weapon like the 'snow shadow bow' to have such a significant improvement. It seems that your attainments in this area have penetrated deep into the bone marrow."
"I'm flattered." The old man laughed and waved his hand. There was a bit of pride on his face.
The old man smiled and looked at Dudian: "Mr Dean, your military crossbow is very good. If you can improve it, then it will be very helpful to the situation on the battlefield. I hope you can go back and study it."
Dean nodded: "I will."
"Well, the meeting is over." The old man announced.
Everyone got up, passed by Dean, and went out one after another. Some of them nodded to him as they passed by. Some of them didn't even look at him. They had their own pride as masters. Even though Dean was an architect with extraordinary potential, he would become an outstanding master in the future. But it was possible that he would be stuck at the intermediate level. It wasn't impossible for him to get to know him in advance.
The old man patted Dean's shoulder after everyone left: "Let's go. Don't take Arsen's temper to heart. He is right. I believe in your ability but there is still etiquette. After all he isn't the only master here."
Dean looked at him. He knew that the old man was being kind. People of each rank had their own circle. They allowed infighting but they didn't allow outsiders to despise them. This was the reason why he saw that the attitude of two masters wasn't as easy-going as before. It was obvious that they thought that Dean had despised all the masters.
"Well." Dean nodded but didn't say much.
After leaving the Parliament, the Grandmasters walked out of the Shrine one after another. They were escorted by their students on the first floor. They arrived at the carriage parked outside the Shrine and left in it.
The people waiting in front of the meeting made a spacious path for them. They looked at the masters in awe. There were more than a hundred people but there wasn't any noise.
Dean and the old man came out side by side after all the masters had left.
There was a commotion in the crowd when they saw Dean. There seemed to be a few exclamations. They didn't expect that the genius teenager who had been in the newspapers would be able to walk with the masters. It was such an honor that it made people jealous.
Dean regretted that he didn't come by carriage as he looked at the crowd.
"I'll go first. Take good care of the new invention." The old man lifted the curtain and smiled at Dean.
Dudian nodded.
The commotion in the surroundings suddenly quieted down. Only after the carriage of the broad-faced old man rolled away did the crowd burst into an uproar. Everyone gasped and looked at the young man in the field with admiration and envy. They didn't expect that the progress of the latter's theurgy had already caught the attention of the grandmaster. It should be known that the latter was only in the middle order!
After the carriage was far away, Dean quickly left along with the crowd.
The crowd reacted and immediately chased after him. Dean quickly ran. He didn't use his hunter's strength but he was able to easily run past the weak architects. It must be known that his scavenger training wasn't in vain.
Dean went to his own room after returning to the castle. He dismantled the lightning rod and wrapped it up. Then he carried it to the Temple. This time he directly took the public carriage in the castle.
Dean got off the carriage and dragged the suitcases down. He carried them with both hands and entered the Temple.
There were more than a dozen people in the Temple. They were queuing up to submit their inventions.
Dean came to a queue and waited for the four people in front to leave.
"Huh?" The person in front saw someone behind him and looked back. Suddenly, he screamed in surprise and looked at Dean in confusion. He was startled and surprised: "You, you are Dean? Genius Dean? "
"Hello." Dean politely replied.
The youth was flattered: "Hello, hello. Are you here to submit your invention?"
Dudian nodded.
"Please, you go first." The youth said.
Dean quickly refused: "No, you go first."
"It's alright, I have a lot of time."
"Alright."
Dean exchanged places with the youth. At this time, the three people in front heard the youth's voice and looked back. The girl in front of Dean had a few small freckles on her face. Her face was full of excitement and nervousness. "I'll exchange places with you. You go first."
Dean saw the primary architect medal on her chest. Her hair color meant that she had such achievements at such an age. He didn't be polite and changed his position.
The two people in front of him immediately changed their positions with Dean.
"Please submit your work of divinity …" The man behind the counter said to the young man in front of him and turned around to get the form. When he turned back, he saw the young man behind him. The young man in front of him was a fair-skinned young man. He was a little startled. He suddenly felt a little familiar. "You are?"
Dean handed over the suitcase: "This is my invention. My name is Dean." He handed over another folder: "This is the design and assembly drawings."
"Dean?" The woman behind the counter heard the name and suddenly remembered. She was pleasantly surprised: "It's you? Your new invention? "
"Yes."
The woman was a little excited, but she didn't know what to say. She took the suitcase and quickly handed out the form. She said happily: "Fill in the identity form, and then brand your medal on it."
Dean quickly filled out the form and took off the medal. He printed it in a red powder box and then covered the form. Soon a medal pattern appeared with his name engraved on it.
"The review period is one to three days. It will be postponed by one day if there is a 'prayer day'." The woman said with a smile.
"Thank you." Dudian thanked them and left the counter. He thanked the four people who gave up their positions to him. He quickly left the Temple and returned to his castle.
The woman behind the counter didn't care about the rest of the four people as Dean left the Temple. She picked up the form filled by Dean as well as the materials on the ground and went back to the small room. She came to a table and said to a middle-aged woman who was busy: "Sister Lily, this is Dean's new invention. It belongs to the genius Dean."
Sister Lee looked up in surprise: "Is it his?" She took the form from the woman's hand. She was startled when she saw the medal stamp on it: "I know. You can go now."
The woman nodded and left the small room after she put down the things.
After she left, Big Sis Li quickly stacked the suitcases on the ground and called a guard next to her: "You, carry these and follow me."
"Yes." The guard replied.
Half an hour later.
Sister Lee and the guard appeared in another castle and handed the suitcase to the staff behind the counter of this castle.
The staff behind the counter saw the red mark on the suitcases. They knew that it meant priority review. They immediately sent people to the priority channel.

…
The second floor of the ninth castle. Tea room.
A slender woman was sitting in front of the piano. She was playing melodious music. The music was like a gurgling spring that surrounded the hall.
There was a tea table under the piano. Eivissa took the tea from the table and poured it into the empty teacup in front of him. It was an old hand that picked up the cup of tea. The face of the old man was the same as Arsen who Dean had just met.
"Don't you think it's annoying?" Arsen drank the tea. There was still some anger in his tone: "You think that you will be a master in the future after getting the 'epoch' medal? Hmph!"
"Geniuses are always like this." Eivissa laughed.
Arsen said in a bad mood: "What genius? Which one of us wasn't a genius when we were young? Which one of us wasn't a genius to reach this step? "
Eivissa slyly smiled: "Copenhagen wasn't one. He was sixty years old when he started as a primary architect. But he soared to the sky and entered the hall of master."
"That's an exception!" Arsen rolled his eyes: "How many of us are late bloomers like him? Look at the primary architects. How many of them are 60 years old and are still conscientiously studying the invention? Those who are in their forties, humph, have long been tired of the path of magic, bewitched by the music and music provided by the nobles in the outside world, indulging in worldly pleasures. These people are the vermin of the Shrine, they should be expelled! "
"It is indeed a long and boring road. There aren't many people like Copenhagen who have persisted for decades." Eivissa sighed.
Arsen snorted: "Everything is a failure if there is no determination. Like this kid. So what if he is talented? Arrogant! Untouchables are untouchables! They won't learn how to eat in silence! "
Eivissa smiled but didn't reply.
At this time, the butler of the castle ran over and respectfully said: "Master Yi, there is a new lightning invention in the Temple. They want you to review and identify it."
