“Your Majesty, can I give it a try?” Kyle Sichi asked impatiently.

“Of course,” Roland smiled and nodded, “You can be the one sending the message this time.”

The Chief Alchemist pondered for a moment, then picked up a chalk and wrote down a string of characters of varying lengths which went up to more than 20 odd patterns. If the three horizontal lines and two dots were a coincidence, this long message basically eliminated the factor of luck

Barov remained as the receiver.

It was clear that he did not wish for the rare experience to end—without even waiting for Roland’s order, he rushed to blindfold himself.

Electric arcs jumped within the circuit once again.

This time, the old director took a longer time as he listened attentively.

When his answer emerged on the piece of paper in front of everybody, they erupted into an enthusiastic round of applause!

There were two mistakes in the long line of 20 over characters, but there were no mistake in the numbers and was identical to Kyle’s message!

It was impossible for this coincidence to be attributed to luck.

This meant that in those few seconds, information had been communicated between Neverwinter and Silver City—which explained why the old director knew the message Kyle sent.

“Your Majesty, what is the furthest distance the Iron Tower can send?” Barov asked excitedly.

“Theoretically, so long as you increase the output, even a few thousand kilometers wouldn’t be a problem.

“You mean it can cover the entire territory of the Four Kingdoms?”

Hearing that, everyone could not help but engage in whispers.

“It isn’t limited to that, it can even cover the entire Fertile Plains.”

“For Graycastle to know of anything that occurs in Neverwinter in a second, this notion is truly inconceivable!”

“Indeed, if it weren’t for the opportunity to witness this miracle, I will never dare believe that this is something achievable by Man…”

Barov was already pondering over questions at a deeper level.

“Your Majesty, if we are able to assign specific meanings to these codes, maybe we are able to achieve more complicated content, for example giving out instructions or a government decree…”

Upon witnessing the new invention, he immediately reflected on its utilization, it had to be said that Barov’s knowledge and ideas were more advanced and extensive compared to his peers. Even at his old age, he was capable of keeping up with the rapidly rising Kingdom. Roland gave him a commending smile, “You are in the right direction, but my plan is to advance further from your idea.”

“Are you saying that…”

“We will not be assigning symbols with specific connotations, but to effectively assign our current written language with corresponding symbols. This way, even if we can’t hear human voice, we can still engage in real-time conversations.”

After considering Roland’s words, Barov’s eyes lit up.

Obviously, he realized the enormous significance in the “new language”.

As the world’s language adopted a completely different phonetic system, it was impossible for Roland to completely copy the telegraphic codes from his world. However, the principle stayed the same, and they simply needed to spare some effort in formulating suitable code tables. With the code tables, any textual information could be transformed into its corresponding code and broadcast at the speed of light over the continent.

Roland already had plans as to the person responsible for creating the telegraph messages.

As the person responsible for recording information from both worlds, no one was more suitable than Scroll.

“Your Majesty…” Sirius Daly raised his hands eagerly, “Can I try this tele… graph machine?”
