Not only in witchcraft, but even in the practice of wizardry, he considered himself to be superior to Silvester!
It was just that Silvester's manuscript, which sparked the improvement of the Deep Red Marking Technique, was so close to success that it only needed one more push.
Although he had only seen part of the first half, with several key points selected by the Supreme Councilman, most of the work in improving the Deep Red Marking Technique was independently done.
But this did not deny the help Silvester's manuscript had given to him.
Without Silvester's manuscript, he didn't know how long he would have to wait for inspiration to strike!
Nois looked upset, he could accept others improving the Deep Red Marking Technique before him, he could accept studying the Deep Red Marking Technique with others, as long as they were capable enough, like Silvester.
—Although the Council did not allow him to interact too much with this mixed-blood who did not join their Family.
But he could not accept this situation... How was this different from plagiarism?
Emotions churned within Nois, he knew that Silvester would take on some witchcraft research commissions from the outside world.
Silvester might not even know that this was related to the Deep Red Marking Technique...
After all, although it was about improving the Deep Red Marking Technique, it did not mean to completely overhaul it and start anew.
From the manuscript, what was given to Silvester to tackle was only the most core issue, much like improving a cell phone, but only giving him the chip.
Silvester probably didn't know what type of cell phone this "chip" would end up in, it might not even be in a cell phone...
And the final version improved by Nois also had some differences from Silvester's manuscript idea, maybe Silvester wouldn't suspect plagiarism after learning about the new Deep Red Marking Technique...
Pride made it increasingly difficult for Nois, the praise from the previous banquet now seemed like mockery.
"No one will know, Nois. You will carry the praise and uphold the prestige of our Pureblood Family."
His grandfather raised his hand to pat Nois on the head, comforting him again.
Listening to the man who was once also called Nois, he felt only alienation.
"Why?" he murmured, lowering his head.
"Are you asking why we chose Silvester?" Grandfather Nois countered, then answered:
"Of course, it's to speed up the process and save time!"
"In fact, apart from Silvester, in our Pureblood Family's witchcraft research society and the higher echelons of the School, there are wizards working with you to tackle the challenges of the Deep Red Marking Technique... A single tree makes no forest, you cannot achieve anything by shutting yourself away."
Nois fell silent for a moment and then said:
"With a divine enemy ahead, why still differentiate between mixed-blood and pure-blood? By opening up the dissemination of knowledge, wizards can become stronger."
Grandfather Nois's expression gradually calmed, and after a while, he softly said:
"You are still too young, Nois."
"Resources are limited, and the only consequence of opening up the dissemination of knowledge is the dispersal of resources, while each top wizard needs a great deal of resources."
"The outcome of the war with the Divine has never been something that ordinary people, low-rank wizards, or even you can influence."
Nois slowly raised his head, another slightly older Nois looking at him indifferently, and continued:
"Whether it is Divine spies or the war in the Southern Sea Domain, they are all insignificant."
"Ten thousand ordinary people do not compare to one Official Wizard... Whether it's you, me, or those ordinary people, ordinary wizards, no matter how numerous they are, in front of the real Divine, they are but ants."
"Ants might kill an elephant, but they cannot contend with the Divine."
Nois looked shocked.
His grandfather smiled, turned away, looked at the six lavish chairs in front of him, and continued:
"Rest assured, it has been so for tens of thousands of years."
"Wizards will ultimately achieve victory in the war with the Divine, and the Pureblood Family will continue to stand at the pinnacle of all beings, receiving resources from the multitude to train more Supreme Councilmen."
"Only in this way, indeed only this way, can we ensure the perpetual prosperity of wizard civilization!"
