"Approve."

"Approve."

"Approve."

...

As Yasen finished speaking, seven activated flames unanimously uttered the words 'approve.'

Lor's proposal is quite feasible, and the initial investment is not much, so it's definitely worth a try.

If it fails, so be it. If it succeeds, the entire Wizard Alliance will undergo significant changes.

"I also approve," Yasen added with a smile, then turned to the third flame in his hand, "Jerald, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Alright, I'll publish the announcement shortly," Jerald replied straightforwardly, and then the flame representing him fell silent.

The remaining six flames also fell silent one after another.

"Lor, just how many more surprises can you bring me?" Yasen stared at the now-silent flames, his heart filled with anticipation.

...

In the north of the Milton Continent, on the top floor of a blue Wizard Tower.

"After handling the matters at hand, perhaps I should pay a visit to Legislator Lor," Jerald gazed southward, as if seeing the first rays of a rising sun.

Dazzling, but not blinding.

At this critical period of impacting the Fourth Ring, what preoccupied that young legislator's mind was actually the future of the Wizard Alliance.

How others think of him, Jerald didn't know, but he himself had a favorable impression of that young legislator.

"Well, first, I need to finish my current tasks," Jerald thought to himself, then with a smile, he took out the Continent Communication Device and began issuing announcements.

...

In the center of the Betula Continent, within a green Wizard Tower.

Ron watched as rows of miniature light screens extinguished one after another, closed his eyes, and began to review everything that happened today.

This was a habit he had developed since the Abyssal Demon invasion, and because of this habit, he had saved Betula Continent from significant losses.

Now that the Abyssal Demons on the continent were mostly cleared, he wasn't planning to abandon this habit.

"There's no issue with the communication with Legislator Lor." Having reviewed the most crucial matter, Ron sighed in relief and continued to review the subsequent conference.

The first sentence he spoke at the conference was also fine.

This conference was convened precisely for Legislator Lor's suggestion.

The second sentence also...

"No, that's not right." Ron's eyes snapped open, filled with regret.

He suddenly realized he might have made a very serious mistake.

Legislator Lor had instructed him to call people to clean the territory, not the entire continent.

But in his urgency, he had unconsciously overlooked this point.

This was a procedural error, and he believed that if he had asked first, Legislator Lor would likely have agreed with his suggestion.

But not asking meant not asking, a mistake is a mistake.

Even though he had previously ceded interests multiple times to establish a rapport with Legislator Lor and could easily use his name this once without much issue.

However, such a move would significantly harm the rapport between them, which was unacceptable to him.

"I must find a way to compensate." Ron's face turned ashen as he thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and decided to offer a large Magic Crystal Ore containing one hundred and fifty Mother Ores to make up for this mishap.

He personally owned only two large Magic Crystal Ores, so offering one was already a considerable sacrifice.

Regarding other large Magic Crystal Ores belonging to the Warren Wizard Tower, he could freely take the Magic Crystals produced but wasn't qualified to take the ores themselves.

Having made up his mind, he immediately took out the Continent Communication Device and sent a communication request to Lor.

A minute...

Ten minutes...

"It seems Legislator Lor has once again fully immersed himself in research." After half an hour, looking at the still-unconnected communicator, Ron sighed slightly.

He did not suspect Lor of deliberately ignoring his communication, as things hadn't reached that point.

"I should first select the mid-sized Magic Crystal Ores for Legislator Lor, then contact Kateya to ask when Legislator Lor might emerge from his research, and also discuss the territorial handover," Ron thought to himself.

He extracted detailed information about mid-sized Magic Crystal Ores from the Continent Communication Device, reviewed it carefully, and finally selected four ores very close to Lor's territory.

He then scrolled down the Continent Communication Device a bit, found Kateya's communication signal, and sent a communication request.

In no time, the communication was connected, and a light screen appeared before Ron, projecting Kateya's image.

"Legislator Ron, is there something you need from me? Has Master Lor exchanged for Magic Crystal Ores again?" Kateya asked curiously after bowing slightly.

She noticed Ron's expression seemed a bit off but decided it wasn't her concern and didn't ask further.

"Yes, Assistant Kateya," Ron nodded, "Legislator Lor previously exchanged for Magic Crystal Ores worth 1.25 billion Merits, namely..."

He provided all the coordinates and names of the Magic Crystal Ores he had previously selected, and then added, "In addition, Legislator Lor also exchanged for a large number of territories, namely the Agate Kingdom, Cross Kingdom..."

"Please have Assistant Kateya receive these once the territories are cleared."

"I'll send someone to take over the Magic Crystal Ores," Kateya replied, "As for the territories, in the past, Master Lor left them to Master Agular to manage. I'll forward the information."

Regarding the vast territories Ron mentioned, she found it entirely reasonable; considering Master Lor's Merits, exchanging for these territories was a breeze.

She had no intention of taking over those territories, leaving them to Agular was a more suitable choice.

She had read a lot about how to be an excellent assistant.

The most frequently mentioned statement in these resources was to focus on 'one's own responsibilities.'

So she clearly delineated everything, knowing what she should do and what she shouldn't.

Only in this way could she gain Master Lor's greater trust and achieve the goal of firmly holding the position of the first assistant.

"Alright, then please handle it," Ron managed a smile and asked, "Assistant Kateya, do you know when Legislator Lor will emerge from research next? I have some matters to discuss with him."

"I'm not sure exactly when, but you can leave a message for Master Lor. He'll contact you once he awakens," Kateya replied truthfully.

Lor's recent research sessions had unpredictable waking times.

It's something unavoidable since fishing for Origin in the Sea of Origin requires finding sufficient Space Origin.

The distribution of Space Origin in the Sea of Origin is uneven, so how fast or slow one gets it entirely depends on luck.

"Alright, thank you for your explanation," Ron ended the communication, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

Although he had anticipated that Legislator Lor wasn't intentionally ignoring the communication, confirming it still relieved him significantly.

Next, he just needed to wait for Legislator Lor to awaken from the research to discuss the compensation in person.

Directly sending a message to inform Legislator Lor of his compensation plan would seem lacking in sincerity and wouldn't be considerate.
