"Storing words is only one aspect of this' magic '. The real function of the Weave is to shorten the communication distance between intelligent beings."
Josiah had wanted to say 'humans', but humans were not the only intelligent beings in this world. Elves, dwarves, and goblins all had skills that far surpassed humans in various fields.
This time, Josiah also saw the figure of the Blackwood Elves' Great Elder Cephane. He had arrived with the grey-clothed man.
"Everyone, if I want to contact a duke far away in Falosi, I'll need an owl or a messenger pigeon that can take on long-distance missions. I'll have to wait for one to two months, and I'll even have to worry about the owl being shot down by arrows and the letter being lost."
Josiah had described these problems that merchants had been troubled by. Once the scale of a merchant group grew, it would be a huge headache to travel back and forth between two cities.
"And this can make up for everything." Josiah brought up the Weave message. This function had far fewer users than the spellcaster forums and Noland's Voice. Since Josiah was still in the testing phase, he did not make it 'public'.
"It can send the information you need to anyone in a short period of time, as long as they're within the coverage of the Weave."
Josh entered the grayish owl's ID into the text message, and then sent a message to the grayish owl. All the Spell Casters present turned their gazes toward the gray-robed man who was sitting in the back row.
Many of them already knew that the gray owl was one of the seven sages of Noland. The grey-clothed man showed everyone his Weave interface and the message that Josiah had sent him.
After watching the display, not only the spellcasters, but also the nobles and merchants finally showed some interest in it.
It was at this moment that Josh took out a 'biscuit' that was so big that it would take God knows how many years to make it.
"Shortening the communication distance is just the beginning. Let me give you a small example. I believe that every transaction and sale starts with a single communication, but in the past we could only communicate face-to-face. A shop can only attract customers from nearby, and the shop's reputation only stops at one or a few cities …" Josiah's topic was enough to attract the attention of the merchants.
"Everyone, what would happen if we built a shop on the Weave? Everyone in the world who uses the Weave would be able to see this shop, be it in Noland, Falosi, or the Iron Nation. As long as it's covered by the Weave … "
Just as Josiah said that, he saw Herland, who was sitting at the front row, raise her hand and make a gesture. The meaning of this gesture was probably the same as on Earth, 'Teacher, I have a question'.
"Miss Herland?" Miss Herland. "Josiah stopped drawing pictures and gave Herland the right to speak.
"Mr. Josiah … I … hope to listen to your explanation about programming," Herland said.
The spellcasters seemed to agree with Herland's words. Although they didn't say anything, Josiah could sense that they weren't interested in how to earn money with the Weave.
"Let's start analyzing the inscription system that makes up the Weave."
Josiah knew that he had been too engrossed in painting a picture and had forgotten the main content of today's lesson. With Herland's reminder, Josiah began the 'programming' lesson.
Although the spellcasters present were pleased to have taken out their 'little notebooks' and began to absorb the knowledge related to programming, they did not dare to go straight to the main topic.
However, the group of businessmen who were listening attentively to Josiah's flattery were suffering.
Among them was Frit from the Iron Nation who came with the Knight Of The White Thorn. He was different from the other businessmen who were listening in confusion.
After listening to Josiah's simple explanation, Frit understood how valuable the Weave was.
At first, he thought that he only needed to advertise any of his products on the Weave's spellcaster forum to increase its popularity by a hundredfold.
This was far more effective than hiring the hooligans on the streets to distribute flyers!
Moreover, the concept of using the Weave as a 'shop' that Josiah described was even more tempting. Frit was eager to learn from Josiah what kind of business method it was.
Josiah had indeed drawn a delicious, tempting, and mouth-watering 'flatbread'.
However, before he could even smell the aroma of the 'flatbread', Josh had already put the flatbread away after being reminded by the female spellcaster.
He really wanted to stand up and tell Josiah, 'I don't want to listen to your stupid programming, continue making flatbread for me!'.
If the class was attended by a group of ordinary students, Frit would definitely have the confidence to do so …
However, the problem was that the students who were listening attentively to Josiah's lecture were all famous spellcasters in Noland … Among them was one of the Seven Sages who stood at the peak of Noland's power.
Frit even had to pay attention to his volume when he conversed with the Knight Of The White Thorn, so as not to disturb the spellcasters as they absorbed new knowledge.
"I'm ashamed to say that I can't understand this knowledge at all."
After listening to Josiah's lecture on 'programming' for a few minutes, the Knight Of The White Thorn could not help but feel sleepy.
He even began to suspect whether what Josiah was talking about was knowledge from this world. The various strange terms gave the Knight Of The White Thorn a headache.
"I'm the same," Frit said.
Although he had a fifth-rank spellcaster certificate, this course was still an obscure and difficult book in the eyes of this merchant from the Iron Nation.
The same situation also happened to the other visiting merchants and nobles. Some nobles and merchants could no longer stand the boring lessons and chose to leave.
Frit also had thoughts of leaving, but he endured the boring course and watched coldly as the nobles and merchants left.
They did not understand the value of the Weave at all. Perhaps there were some merchants who thought that what the 'young man' said was impossible.
Frit had already seen the limitless business opportunities of the Weave from Josiah's description. In order to obtain greater benefits, a few hours of boring waiting was nothing.
What he really needed to think about was how he was going to defeat the other competitors. Frit scanned the surroundings and saw a few familiar 'old friends'.
