"Want some? I had the clerics make this cake from honey sacrificed from the Elven Kingdom." The Goddess of Magic walked out of her magic tower holding a piece of cake. Looking at the map in front of Ren that clearly showed dozens of countries and thousands of cities and territories, with bright or dim lines running across it, she asked curiously, "What kind of map is this?"

"Every glowing spot has a self-charging magic array. All the bright lines show the actual routes of the Magic Power Network. It's a new feature I developed using my divine authority over magic conductors... With this map, we can easily see which areas the Magic Power Network has covered. That way, we can clearly tell when the Magic Net will enter the picture and video era..." Ren gave the Goddess of Magic a quick explanation of what the map showed. "Plus, these covered areas can basically be understood as regions that have already started magic-tech industrialization. And based on how bright the glow is, we can judge the degree of industrialization in each place."

With a wave of his hand, the map began to expand continuously. The brightest area gradually became clearer, and a huge territory appeared before them in an overhead view, with everything crystal clear.

"Is this... Roster territory?" The Goddess of Magic naturally knew a bit about this person who was the number one promoter of magic-tech industry in the mortal realm. You could say he was a pioneer in spreading her husband's faith. Even some church popes couldn't compare to him.

"Yep. The largest self-charging magic array in the mortal realm, the most self-charging magic arrays, the densest Magic Power Network system, dozens of magic conductor-related projects, a mine for demonstrating magic conductor machinery excavation, plus mine carts to transport the ore, and farmland that's already using various magic conductor machines for large-scale cultivation... You could say Roster territory is a city of the future. Through this map, we can clearly see the magic power flow situation in every area of their territory and analyze a lot from that." With another wave of Ren's hand, the scene changed again to another highly distinctive territory.

Since most of Roster territory had already been magic-tech converted, the Magic Power Network lines in most places were super bright and hard to distinguish. But County Grano was totally different and had its own unique features.

County Grano was mainly agricultural. In the core area, there was a pretty huge self-charging magic array. The castle and nearby streets had brightness that was just as good as Roster territory's core area, but the coverage was tiny. If you looked carefully, you'd see that wasn't all—there were also some dimmer lines extending from the core area, spreading throughout the entire territory. They were almost everywhere, like a spiderweb that was hard to notice, covering every inch of land in the whole territory.

To better use magic conductor machinery for farming, Count Grano had extended the Magic Power Network to cover his entire territory. But since it was just for better cultivation, the extended network was pretty weak.

The Goddess of Magic nodded slightly. She completely understood. This map was pretty interesting—it could monitor the magic-tech conversion progress of the entire mortal realm in real-time. At the same time, it let them better plan and strategize their next moves. Especially thinking about how the 'wireless transmission' device she and Ren were developing together had already entered the final testing phase, she couldn't help but get excited.

Once the 'wireless transmission' device was complete, using these self-charging networks, the Magic Power Network coverage would increase exponentially.

Seeing that even some of the coldest areas in the Far North had started gradually spreading the Magic Power Network, and some mountainous regions and swamp countries were no exception, their expressions became even more relaxed. The only thing lacking might be areas with races like dwarves and halflings who had absolutely no magical talent and couldn't find a single magician among them. But there weren't many areas like that anyway, and with the Golden Merchant Guild's future expansion, they'd eventually be integrated too.

"Haha..." The more Ren looked, the happier he got, and he couldn't help but laugh. "Thousands of cities and territories are already covered. Nice, really nice! I can feel it—in the areas where magic conductors are spreading, both our casual believers will skyrocket, and the number of true believers will increase a lot too."

Still, Ren couldn't help wondering when the entire mortal realm would be fully covered. If the Magic Power Networks between territories and countries could also be connected, that would be even more perfect... An ambitious plan started taking shape in Ren's mind.

"Huh, Dragon Island actually has a self-charging magic array and a bit of Magic Power Network too." Suddenly, the Goddess of Magic let out a surprised sound.

"Dragon Island?" Ren was momentarily stunned, then finally noticed that at the very bottom of the map, almost at the edge, an island that looked somewhat blurry had somehow appeared. And on that island, there was indeed a glimmer of light.

This map was automatically generated by his divine authority. You could say it used faith power as a bridge to automatically gather everything magic conductor-related and form the map. After thinking about it, he directly opened both his Magic Net IP map and faith map, but couldn't see Dragon Island on either.

"They're not using the Magic Net and don't provide faith, but they've established a Magic Power Network?" Ren found it increasingly strange, even a bit weird. That didn't make sense, right?

"Maybe some dragon was traveling outside, discovered the Magic Power Network, and brought it back. With their proud personalities, they don't want to pray, so they haven't used the Magic Net?" When the Goddess of Magic said the first half, she was pretty confident, but by the second half, she was becoming less and less sure.

Although it made logical sense, would it really be like that?

No matter how proud they were, didn't they once beg the Goddess of Magic to learn magic? Even though they still worshiped the Dragon God, it didn't stop them from occasionally praying to the Goddess of Magic. The Goddess of Magic knew this best.

In that situation, would they not use the Magic Net just because of the prayer issue?

"Um, is there a possibility—I'm just saying it's possible..." At some point, Betty had also come to their side and seemed to have heard their conversation.

"What's your idea? Just say it." Seeing Betty hesitating, Ren immediately encouraged her.

"I'm just saying it's possible, okay? It's just that, well, our Magic Net is, for the dragon race, how should I put it... kinda small... Even if they wanted to pray and use it, it seems like they wouldn't really have a way." Betty said carefully, secretly glancing at the Goddess of Magic's expression several times.

"..."

"..."

Both the Goddess of Magic's and Ren's expressions froze at the same time, changing in exactly the same way.

"Ahem, that actually might be true." Ren coughed lightly and scratched his head. "Should we maybe make a dragon race custom version later? And for races like giants too."
