It was a surprise for Mage Damwade to meet Baron Crick Keane in the God’s Kingdom of the Void Mask instead of the God of Art and Culture. Crick had helped Damwade’s career, so Damwade was really happy to meet Crick. For Sui Xiong, it was a decision after careful consideration to meet Damwade here.

Many of Crick’s policy objectives and specific measures were deserving of praise. Crick and Sui Xiong were one, so their ideas were roughly the same. They did things in similar ways. Any experienced people could find that there was a significant connection between Baron Keane and the Republic of Northwest, and then they could guess the identity of Crick.

If that incident had been concealed, people and gods would be more and more suspicious of that. Even though Crick was a hero, his soul had never been heard of since his death. The gods had long been doubtful, and even Brother Yorgaardman was tracing Crick’s whereabouts. In order to dispel their suspicions, it was necessary to let Crick appear several times again. Sui Xiong just needed to find the right time.

This time, Mage Damwade had invented an important spell. The spell was extremely helpful for improving social productivity and improving people’s living standards. It was worthy of praise. Sui Xiong finally found the right opportunity to let Crick out.

Under the guidance of Crick, Mage Damwade met Sui Xiong who was busy with working in the experimental field.

“Your invention is amazing!” Sui Xiong praised Damwade as soon as they met. “With such achievements, you can own a page in the history book of the world civilization!”

Damwade suddenly blushed. He hurriedly said, “Actually, this is not my contribution. I could invent this spell for two reasons. On the one hand, it comes from the advice of Lord Keane. On the other hand, it comes from the information published by the Church of the God of Medicine. I just relied on my small inspiration. I linked them together and thought about them, and then I gained some results. The remarkable people are Lord Keane and the God of Medicine.”

Sui Xiong patted Damwade’s shoulder with his tentacle, smiling. He said, “Don’t be modest. Crick told me about you. When you were at Baron Keane’s place, you were very concerned about agriculture. You were eager to help him advance agricultural technology. There are many powerful mages in the world. The mages who are more powerful than you are more than my tentacles. Why are those powerful mages not able to gain those achievements but you are able to?”

Damwade was stunned, shaking his head confusedly.

“The key is that the directions that people pay attention to are different,” Sui Xiong said. “Most mages pursue personal strength, or so-called ‘truth,’ or the joy of pure research. But you are different. Although you left Baron Keane, you didn’t give up agriculture. You didn’t give up the research that seemed a bit rough and disqualified for a noble mage. I’d like to ask, in this world, what mage is willing to stay in the field all day long, working with mud, crops and even excrement? This great achievement was destined to belong to you!”

Mage Damwade was speechless and then smiled quietly.

“You really surprised me,” Sui Xiong said. “You found the roots of soil fertilization, and you invented the spell that could safely remove harmful components from domestic waste. The spell can also turn them into fertilizer quickly. I was really surprised when I heard that!”

“You know what? In fact, I am also studying this. With my Divine Power, my experimental field is far better than yours. However, until now, I haven’t been able to gain something that can be widely spread in the mortal world,” Sui Xiong said. “As a mortal, you are better than me in the same research field. I am really strong among the gods. I hereby admit that you are a better researcher than me. Congratulations on your success.”

Damwade was excited. Indescribable feelings of success and satisfaction filled his heart, making him want to laugh, sing songs loudly, and find a pub to get drunk.

“Your spell is really amazing! I have studied it carefully, and its concept is very clever. It not only distinguishes bacteria that can help convert waste into fertilizer to promote the growth of crops, but it also eliminates harmful bacteria and avoids possible pollution and disease. The two steps are completed in the same spell. What it needs is only a mage who hasn’t stepped into the middle level. This is precisely the problem that I’m not able to overcome.

“Before seeing you, I have been thinking. What kind of talented brain do you have to make you so much better than me? Now I understand that the key to the problem is not your brain, but your heart,” Sui Xiong said with a smile. “You have a focused heart. You don’t care about yourself, and you don’t care about other people’s opinions. You concentrate on research, and you have a scholar’s heart. You care about farmers, people, and all the creatures in the world. You have a hero’s heart!”
