Dudian smiled: "You are too polite. I was in a hurry so I only had time to produce the design drawings. I wanted to produce the finished product but I heard the news from my servant that there were some unfavorable rumors about me. So I came out in a hurry and submitted the design. Fortunately there were no big mistakes or I would have to trouble you."
Skagen looked at the people in the hall and sighed: "We have heard about the rumors but we believe that you won't do such a stupid thing. But the rumors are spreading like crazy. We have asked the magistrate to intervene in the investigation but there is no direct evidence to prove that you didn't collude with the barbarians. So please be patient for the time being."
Dudian nodded: "I know that you have put in a lot of effort. The Temple has been implicated because of me. I'm sorry but I'm confused about this matter. I wanted to personally go to the magistrate and the military but the witnesses are my servants. It's not convincing. It's like I can't prove my gender."
"Ha ha …"
The masters chuckled.
Skagen smiled: "I can understand your depression. The Lord has decided to let you go to the inner wall to study. You can avoid the situation and come back after the war is over."
"Go to the inner wall?" Dudian was surprised but relieved. After all, he had the identity of a master. It wasn't difficult for him to enter the inner wall. This was one of the reasons why the consortiums were in awe of the masters. After all, even the consortiums couldn't easily set foot in the inner wall.
He thought for a moment and said in a sincere tone: "Thank you for your kindness but I don't think escaping is the solution to the problem. Moreover we are at war and the situation in front of us is urgent. The purpose of our invention is nothing more than to spread the faith and power of the God of Light for the benefit of the civilians. I really can't abandon the civilians and leave alone. It is contrary to my faith as an apprentice knight. So I would like to ask a favor from everyone."
"Apprentice knight?" Skagen was surprised to hear Dudian's words but he didn't have time to ask: "What's the matter?"
Dudian looked at him and looked around at everyone. He bowed: "I want to bring my new invention and personally go to the front line to face the barbarians. I swear to defend the golden wall! Dean will be eternally grateful if you can support me! "
These words, which contained piety and sincerity, were sonorous and powerful. All the masters present were moved. When they heard Dean's request, they guessed that he was asking them to use their connections to help Dean clear his grievances. They didn't expect that the boy would have a brave and fearless determination to personally set foot on the dangerous battlefield!
Skagen took a deep breath: "I admire your courage and believe in your benevolence. But you are an architect after all. The situation in the frontline is in a disadvantageous position. The barbarians will break the golden wall at any time. It is too dangerous for you to go now. If you fall, it will be the sorrow of the Temple and the sorrow of the God of Light. It will be the sorrow of countless civilians!"
"Yes Mr Dean, don't be so impulsive. We believe in you …"
"Yes master Dean, the battlefield is too dangerous. You …"
"I, Anaba, am willing to use all my connections to help you clear your name. There must be someone behind this!"
Dudian didn't raise his waist. His voice was full of determination and sincerity: "Masters, I hope that you can agree to my request. I don't want the master medal or the rewards from the Temple. I just hope that you can agree to my request. Let me advance and retreat together with you. I swear to defend against the barbarians!"
Everyone looked at each other. Some people who were previously dissatisfied with Dean couldn't help but change their expressions. Their eyes softened a lot.
Skagen looked at everyone's eyes. He hesitated for a moment and helped Dean up: "We will promise you since you have made such a request. I will talk to the temple master about this matter. As for your new invention, the steam rifle is extremely lethal. It will play a big role in the battlefield. Perhaps it will be able to reverse the defeat. If the steam rifle is used as an invention then it can be regarded as a legendary invention."
Dean said: "I hope that it's not too late to enter the battlefield. There are too many soldiers who die in every battle. Every soldier's death means that a family is torn apart. I hope that we can repel the barbarians and end the war."
Skagen sighed: "You are right. We don't want to see the pain caused by the war. Since you are willing, the Temple will immediately contact the military for you and hand over the new invention to them. Mobilize the manufacturing industry of all consortiums. We can't let them break through the golden wall. If they do, there will be misery and suffering!"
Dudian nodded: "The sooner the better."
Skagen asked: "Your steam rifle is a legendary item. How much are you going to sell it to the military?" The price of legendary items was more than one million gold coins.
Dudian shook his head: "I won't sell it. The steam rifle will be donated to the military for free. I hope that they will use the money to buy the new invention to invest in the war and end the war as soon as possible!"
Skagen was startled.
Many of the masters present could not help but be startled.
Free donation?
Or legendary item?
In such a time of war, if Dudian took advantage of the situation and sold the steam rifle to the military at several times the price of an ordinary legendary item then the military would have to buy it! But Dudian didn't do that. Instead he selflessly donated it for free?
That was at least a million gold coins worth of wealth!
Millions of gold coins were enough to buy more than ten bustling streets in the entire commercial district. Even the masters in the room wouldn't be able to make a legendary item in their lifetime. At most they would be able to make a few five star items and become a master. However the youth in front of them was willing to donate a legendary item for free!
Moreover he was donating it to the military who slandered him!
