Someone in the Magic Net is discussing that the ice spirits’ actions in the north seem somewhat strange. I also want you to go confirm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief silence, Wilton finally speaks: \"How many Magic Net Rings are there now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"None.\" The old woman shakes her head: \"Magic Net Rings become soul-bound once used. We can only hope Coffin-Carrying Heddy comes back quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or we successfully replicate them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure this Magic Net Ring isn’t divine magic?\" Wilton seems to finally realize something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine magic and magic are two completely separate systems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once a high-level bishop of the Church of Light tried to use magic to drive divine magic. As a result, this bishop died, his skull completely empty inside, his brain burned to ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine gifts with such miraculous effects—aren’t they really divine magic?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn’t dare research divine magic runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a legendary mage, although he looks old, he’s actually still in his prime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, these are pure magic runes, I can guarantee it, and I’ll be responsible for the final etching.\" After a slight pause, the old woman reminds him: \"Don’t forget, this is a ’divine gift’ from the Goddess of Magic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Goddess of Magic has no church, no faith system, naturally no clerics, and no divine magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legend says she’s the only one in this world who saw through the essence of divine magic and used magic power to develop the magician profession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would such an existence have divine magic?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No spellcaster has ever considered this question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all spellcasters would instantly give an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could the Lady of Mysteries focus her attention on divine magic?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait! My goodness, I didn’t expect you to become so cunning too! You’re no longer that little girl from 200 years ago who clung to me calling me ’Uncle Wilton.’\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Wilton is about to agree, he suddenly remembers something and exclaims: \"Coffin-Carrying Heddy’s coffin belongs to that old guy. I can just go find him directly, can’t I? He can’t possibly leave that magic anomaly zone, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t you dare try to make me research divine magic!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as his exclamation falls, he disappears from his mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he appears again, he’s already in the black forest in the eastern mountains of the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really gloomy~ If I were him, I’d rather have gone to sleep a hundred years ago... though there’s not much difference, damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wilton keeps complaining but still quickly goes deeper and knocks on the huge tombstone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, he successfully enters the underground reception room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wilton, you, the president of the Royal Mage Society, actually have free time to come to my godforsaken wasteland. How truly surprising!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old mage doesn’t even prepare a cup of light tea and doesn’t seem to intend to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior brother, you’re talking like I never visit you.\" Wilton shows an extremely exaggerated sad expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast is Heddy’s astonished expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The president of the Royal Mage Society, such a big shot, a legendary magician, is actually her old man’s junior brother?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just how old is this old guy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t high-level magicians only have 300 years of lifespan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, he won’t die even if I die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let me ask you, do you have any impression of this child? She became my apprentice twelve years ago.\" The old mage snorts disdainfully: \"Speak up, what are you looking for me for? If you still want that kind of potion, sorry, I don’t have any.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I’ve given up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seemingly worried the old mage will reveal secrets he’s buried for years, Wilton quickly changes the topic: \"Child, you’re the one distributing Magic Net Rings in the city, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes... yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heddy is somewhat nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing a legendary figure, no one would stay calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for the old magician, of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Magic Net Rings are divine gifts from the Goddess of Magic. The distribution rules are set by God.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old magician shows a proud expression: \"Wilton, if you want these rings, go wait in the city obediently.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You still have more?! That’s fantastic!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wilton’s ears are like they have a filter, automatically filtering out bad sounds from the outside, and he directly says: \"I need 1,000! If not 1,000, 800 will do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heddy’s eyes roll around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needs this many?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then wouldn’t I not need to distribute them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No! I shouldn’t use up the free quota, I should sell them to this guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Royal Mage Society, an association supported by royalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The richest spellcaster in the kingdom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heddy is obviously still too naive. The old magician’s reaction is much faster: \"My goodness! You actually need so many? Do you want to distribute them directly to everyone in the Royal Mage Society?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Wilton can speak, the old magician continues: \"Most of our Magic Net Rings have already been distributed, but I, a believer of the Goddess of Magic, a living saint in the magical field, am willing to pray once for you, beseeching the Goddess to bestow more divine gifts!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go back, I need to start preparing. Remember to prepare more gold shields, at least 10,000! Otherwise you’ll never get that many Magic Net Rings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without giving this legendary magician any chance to react, the old magician sends him away, leaving only the dumbfounded Heddy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, didn’t God say to sell them at one gold shield per ring?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"God wants us to collect gold shields just to let them know Magic Net Rings don’t come easily, right? Do you think a price of one gold coin each can make that guy feel pain? Can make His Majesty the King behind him feel pain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old magician looks at Heddy with a strange expression: \"Child, you still have so much to learn...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Goddess of Magic’s divine realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doll Betty looks at this scene with amazement on her face: \"Lord Ren, did you know early on that this old man was shameless and that’s why you chose him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1168,"2026-06-06T14:38:03.136Z",1,"novelbin.me","f2956cd98b8955be810dcf4d00d46d9c0a749a1f4d630b15cd8b5ee5f029bf8a","god-of-technology-creating-the-internet-in-anoth-chapter-13","god-of-technology-creating-the-internet-in-anoth-chapter-11",524,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgod-of-technology-creating-the-internet-in-anoth-cover.jpg"]
