Chapter 200: Chapter 182: Planning for the Future (2)

The Space Sorcery Faction has now been established, and the geniuses who choose the Space Faction will naturally be sent to him.

Others who wish to draw inspiration should reasonably pay to watch.

“Alright.” Francis raised an eyebrow slightly and nodded agreeably.

Lor’s choice, although somewhat beyond his expectations, did not matter much.

He never interfered too much in matters that didn’t significantly impact the overall situation of the Wizard Alliance.

After confirming their guesses and handling plan regarding Space Faction Witchcraft, the two chatted idly for a few more moments before hanging up the communication.

On the unnamed island, Francis wasted no time in sending a message to his assistant Amy, transmitting all the recently modified Witchcraft Rune structures.

Then, he carefully observed the runes on the rock wall, verifying them himself for any errors, while awaiting Amy’s experimental results.

…

A month later.

Betula Continent, center of the Agate Great Plains.

“Boom——”

A towering pitch-black Wizard Tower suddenly rose from the ground, like a divine miracle… no, it was indeed a miracle!

All the mortals who witnessed this couldn’t help but hold their breath.

The wizards, including those of the Third Ring, showed expressions of reverence.

At the top of the tall tower stood two figures side by side.

One wore a yellow Wizard Robe, and the other wore a black Wizard Robe.

The only similarity between them was the absence of any rank insignia on their collars.

“Speaker Lor, to express my belated apology, I can open up the third underground space for you.”

Peyton, looking at the spirited young man beside him, smiled and said, “The third underground space can connect directly to the Abyss, and you can decide which levels to connect to.”

In the past, Peyton wouldn’t have done such a thing because it would have destroyed the Ancient God’s seal.

But now, naturally, he had no qualms.

Additionally, taking into account the topic Lor had previously raised in the council, he believed that such compensation would be more to Lor’s liking.

“Haha, that would be wonderful.” Lor’s eyes lit up. “Could you please connect the fifty-first, sixty-third, and sixty-fifth layers of the Abyss for me?”

He truly hadn’t expected that Peyton had already mastered this craft.

This way, he wouldn’t need to borrow the Cooper Wizard Legion in the future.

Once players receive Abyss missions, they can come directly under his Wizard Tower without needing the Wizard Legion to transport them back and forth, which is much more convenient.

“Alright.” Peyton nodded, immediately transforming into a thirty-mile-tall Earth Elemental Giant and diving straight towards the ground.

“Whoosh——”

Silently, he merged into the ground without a ripple.

“Crack——”

Moments later, due to changes deep underground, the entire Agate Plain began to tremble slightly, like a miniature earthquake.

Fortunately, the earthquake didn’t intensify.

Besides some panicked animals on the Agate Plain, the mortals didn’t seem too alarmed.

In their view, the wizards, greater than the gods, were watching over them.

If they showed courage, they might be favored by the great wizards.

Perhaps even without some Meditation Talent, they could be chosen by a wizard and become a revered Wizard Apprentice.

In fact, their thinking wasn’t entirely wrong.

The awareness Lor emitted indeed encompassed them, so saying he was watching over them wasn’t inaccurate.

Of course, Lor’s main focus was underground, and once he confirmed the mortals weren’t panicking, he paid them no further attention.

At this moment, a massive transformation was occurring beneath the Agate Great Plains.

The underground first layer dissection lab was soon excavated by Peyton.

He then took countless materials from his Space Ring, forcibly compressing and blending them with the Earth Element.

Finally, forming a multicolored object resembling sludge, into which countless runes were infused.

From a fleeting glance, Lor could see the solid, stable, condensed, restrained, gravitational, and other Earth Elemental Runes.

If nothing unexpected happens, these materials should form the dissection tables in the lab and cages for holding large creatures.

Once the sludge reached its limit, Peyton gently slapped it, causing the sludge to scatter, flying into the various dissecting rooms previously opened.

He then took out more materials and repeated the process.

About an hour later, the first underground layer was completely formed.

Compared to the first underground layer under the Cooper Wizard Tower, although the magic array in this underground layer was still of Third Ring level, it was visibly more complex and solid.

The reason it’s Third Ring and not higher is because this magic array relies on Third Ring wizards to power it.

In an era when Energy Furnaces hadn’t developed, only wizards of the same tier could activate such large magic arrays and magic artifacts.

After establishing the first underground layer, Peyton didn’t stop.

The second underground layer, a large warehouse, and the third underground layer, three tunnels connecting to the Abyss, were all excavated one by one.

The second underground layer’s large warehouse was similar in layout to the first layer, except that the dissection rooms became warehouses for storing basic supplies, which Lor himself wouldn’t use much, so he didn’t pay much attention.

The third underground layer was forcefully shattered by Peyton, who used witchcraft to fill the cracks with special black soil, preventing them from healing.

He then opened three tunnels, each a mile wide, stretching downwards endlessly.

These tunnels were very narrow for demons; at most, only a first-tier demon could fly up, and just a few Second Ring wizards would need to guard them.

Once Peyton finished his work and flew back up, Lor warmly invited, “Speaker Peyton, I’ve prepared a feast, please do come.”

“Haha, alright.” Peyton readily agreed.

Although eager to try the Earth Element Microscope Witchcraft Francis had passed on, he wasn’t in an immediate hurry.

…

The next day.

Lor stepped out of his bedroom and saw Agular browsing the Continent Communication Device in the hall. He said, “Mentor, now that the Wizard Tower is established, we can let the apprentices enter.”

“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements right away.”

Agular nodded and added, “By the way, there’s something I want to tell you. Yesterday, I found a promising apprentice candidate. Would you like to assess him?”

A while back, Lor mentioned wanting to take on students, and Agular had kept that in mind.

He meticulously selected and finally found someone with decent potential in Meditation Talent, Witchcraft Construction, and Witchcraft Optimization who hadn’t learned any other witchcraft besides the three Earth-Fire Meditation Techniques.

“What makes him promising?” Lor raised an eyebrow, asking with interest.

“He’s named Villan Zouen, seven years old, naturally possessing a fifth-grade Meditation Talent, and only failed seven times in constructing the Meditation Technique, taking less than a day.”

Agular said slowly, “Additionally, while on the transportation spaceship, he made the same choice you did back then, independently optimizing the Flame Wall’s Witchcraft Rune model.”

“He successfully optimized it somewhat; although he didn’t manage to enhance the Flame Wall from 0.6 to 0.7 rings like you, it did increase its power a bit.”

“Of course, I must remind you, this child is actually a genius from the continent’s center, and when choosing a faction, he picked the newly added Space Faction.”

“If nothing unexpected happens, he should be the child of other wizards and only made the same choice as you following his parents’ wishes.”

“As for who his parents are and his previous experiences, you would find it more convenient to investigate further than I would, so I only reached this point.”

Agular spoke in detail, sharing everything he knew.

“Alright, I’ll keep an eye on him.” Lor smiled and nodded.

Regarding his students, he had a plan in mind—taking only three more would be sufficient.

If they reached the Third Ring in their practice, and managed to collect the Space Rune aspects of Space Equipment Production, Space Transmission Array Construction, and Space Expansion, he would let them each oversee one direction.

All profits would be distributed on an 80-10-10 basis, with him taking 80%, the students 10%, and the remaining 10% going to the Space Mages working below.

The benefits from these three activities were incredibly huge, and with just two hundred years of work, his students could likely gather enough Contribution Points for a Fourth Ring upgrade just from Magic Crystal donations alone.

Earning this privilege wasn’t easy; they would at least need to go through some tests.
