Chapter 358: Chapter 261: The Painful Manager ’Blood’ of the Silkworm Dream Super Civilization

Of course, the greater possibility is that he will stop at the Seventh Ring, or the Eighth Ring.

“I’ve said all I need to say.” Blood continued to ask, “Have you decided which plan to choose?”

“I choose the second one,” Lor replied without the slightest hesitation.

The Manager seemed to have given him two options, but he wasn’t foolish. How could he not understand its intentions?

Choosing the second option indeed comes with risks, but at the very least, it can secure over two thousand years of development time for the Wizard Alliance and obtain over fifty percent exemption on the River of Time Scroll.

Moreover, after two thousand years, the trial will start, and for at least three thousand years, the Wizard Alliance will not face any Tier Seven or above enemies.

Combined, that’s over five thousand years.

With so much time, whether it’s him, Domenico, Vincentia, or Sanchez, they should all be able to reach the Sixth Ring, and by then, even Tier Seven will not be something to fear.

If someone miraculously finds a way to break through to the Seventh Ring and achieves it right at the end of the trial, it would undoubtedly make the situation for the Wizard Alliance better.

Choosing the first plan, however, might let an unknown Tier Seven Sovereign decide the life and death of the Wizard Alliance.

No matter from which aspect, the second choice is his best option.

“Alright, then show all the Time Runes you’ve comprehended now and make a record.” Blood nodded, looking expectantly at Lor.

The Wizard Plane doesn’t have any exploration records left by this little fellow, nor does it know how many True Meanings of Time the little fellow has comprehended.

Logically, hiding a few runes wouldn’t be a problem, but the Dream Spirit can distinguish lies from truth, so it’s impossible to hide.

It didn’t think this little fellow, who showed such cleverness, would do something so stupid.

“Yes,” Lor responded, immediately condensing the Time Deceleration Rune in his Sea of Consciousness and drawing it out, meticulously introducing it: “This is the first functional Time Rune I’ve comprehended. Since it can slow down the surrounding flow of time, I’ve named it Time Deceleration Rune.”

“Hm?” Blood glanced at Lor with some suspicion.

Could it be that this little fellow only comprehended one Time Rune representing the True Meaning of Time?

Or is he truly trying to hide…

“This is the second functional Time Rune I’ve comprehended. Since it can cause surrounding time disorder, I’ve named it Time Disorder Rune.” Lor released the second functional Time Rune he had comprehended and continued introducing.

“Hmm.” Blood nodded with satisfaction, the suspicion in his eyes once again turning into expectation.

This little fellow indeed comprehended more than one rune and showed no intention to hide them, living up to its expectations of him.

“This is the first construct-type Time Rune I’ve comprehended, and it can be used to construct Time Witchcraft. I’ve named it Number One Time Rune.” Lor continued to introduce.

“It’s acceptable.” Blood’s eyes showed even more satisfaction.

“This is the second one… I’ve named it Number Two…”

“Not bad.”

“The third one…”

“Good.”

“The fourth one…”

“You still have more?” Blood’s eyes gradually revealed surprise.

Two or three would be fine, considered average for Tier Five life forms who embark independently on the path of Space-Time.

But now this little fellow has already displayed six Time Runes and still shows no sign of stopping.

Even for Tier Five life forms who embark independently on the path of Space-Time, this is quite remarkable.

“Indeed, there are still a few more.” Lor answered honestly.

Regarding the Time Runes he has already pieced together, he has no intention of hiding any.

Because of the agreement, hiding now is not humility, but deception.

He’s not crazy; why would he dare to deceive this Silkworm Dream Manager before him?

“Alright, continue, ignore me.” Blood’s eyes showed some caution, accompanied by a faint hint of pain.

Suddenly, he had an ominous premonition, as if… maybe… he might have to bleed profusely in the not-too-distant future?

Though it’s a good thing, yet…

Actually, maybe not, in case…

Forget it, let nature take its course.

It was extremely conflicted, wishing Lor would reveal more Time Runes because this represented his talent was genuinely high.

Yet, it hoped there would come a stop, so it wouldn’t have to bleed too much.

“Alright, this is the fifth one…”

“Mm.”

“The sixth one…”

“Hm?”

“The seventh one…”

“Hmm?!”

“The eighth one…”

“Stop!” Blood looked at Lor with some helplessness, “Just tell me how many Time Runes you’ve comprehended in total, stop showing them one by one.”

“Okay.” Lor nodded, somewhat nervous, “I’ve comprehended a total of two functional Time Runes and nine construct-type Time Runes, eleven in all.”

He wasn’t sure whether this number was considered high or low in the heart of the Silkworm Dream Manager.

If high, that’s good; if low, in the future, it might be hard to cling to this leg.

Seeing that this expression wasn’t happy, perhaps his performance wasn’t that good?

Unfortunately, it was still early to meet this one; if only it were a few years later, leveraging the Origin Points brought by the arrival of players after 4500 years, a batch of complete Time Runes could probably be developed.

A little later, maybe even the first Time Witchcraft could be constructed, integrated into the Core Witchcraft to produce a Time Trait.

“Still okay, I’ll notify to open the Trial Field in a bit. I have some matters to attend to, so I’m not keeping you, off you go.”

Blood nodded expressionlessly and directly expelling Lor from its exclusive Dream Space, then looking at the void in front hurriedly exclaimed, “Dream Spirit, quickly contact Butterfly, this Law Value cannot be borne by me alone!”

Originally, it thought Lor might at most make it subsidize a dozen or two hundred thousand Law Values, but seeing the current situation, forty thousand seemed hard to uphold.

Even an eighth-ring law artifact was less than ten thousand Law Values; forty thousand could buy forty of the best eighth-ring law artifacts.

It wasn’t that it couldn’t afford it, but it was painful!

It had no reason to call other regional managers to share the burden; only Butterfly, who managed daily affairs in this Epoch, could be found.

“Alright, Butterfly has been notified.”

Just as the voice of the Void Spirit fell, a figure appeared in front of Blood, constructed entirely of green crystals, wingspan about two meters, similar to a butterfly.

“Blood, what’s up?” Butterfly looked at the seemingly anxious Blood and asked curiously.

“Ahem, it’s like this.” Blood coughed, “I just discovered in my area of jurisdiction a Tier Five genius who independently comprehended the True Meaning of Time, so I wanted to consult with you on what to do.”

If it directly divulged its plan, Butterfly probably wouldn’t help share the Law Value, since it was all its idea.

But using consultation for a little guidance would make it different; if the solution was jointly proposed, why should only I bleed?

Sometimes, the art of language is that wondrous.

“You’re quite lucky.” Butterfly marveled, “This Epoch has just started, barely into the chaotic development phase, and you’ve already found a Tier Five genius who independently comprehended the True Meaning of Time.”

“Still okay, still okay.”

Blood smiled happily, “The reason I asked you is mainly to discuss how to settle this genius; the Sovereign has already ordered no more protection, but surely we can’t completely ignore it?”

“After all, at least it’s a hope!”

“Ignoring doesn’t seem appropriate, but we definitely can’t protect directly.” Butterfly asked, “Am I right in thinking you have a new idea?”

“Yes.” Blood nodded, “Currently, this genius’s civilization…”

It laid out Lor’s predicament entirely, then continued, “Based on this, I’ve thought of a way that can better hone him, which is to establish an agreement with him…”

“How do you think my idea sounds?”

“As expected of you.” Butterfly praised, “Not only does this idea perfectly align with the Sovereign’s will, it even goes a step further, it truly is very good.”

“Alright, then it’s decided.” Blood said without changing expression, “As this idea was determined by the two of us, how about sharing the subsidy when the little fellow meets the conditions?”

“Sure.” Butterfly nodded, “It’s merely a few tens of thousands of Law Values, just as an encouragement for the first genius of this Epoch to independently comprehend the Time Talent.”
