"Let's go with what Legislator Lor suggests for now," Jerald said. "Currently, there are only a few dozen players, which doesn't help the Alliance much. We need to see how many players arrive in the second batch before making further arrangements."
"Alright." Amy nodded and without any unnecessary words, she straightforwardly ended the communication.
...
Five days later.
"Whew—"
A black spaceship passed through layers of volcanoes and landed in the spaceship docking area outside the Cooper Wizard Tower.
The moment they saw the spaceship, hundreds of First, Second, and Third Ring Wizards in the docking area all took out their Memory Balls and began recording the spaceship.
The Memory Ball footage that recorded Legislator Lor's ascent last time sold for five thousand Magic Crystals each among the Wizard Towers.
This price is not low; even an ordinary Third Ring Great Wizard can't ignore it.
After all, obtaining it is extremely simple, just a matter of recording Lor's spaceship taking off and landing.
In the second-floor cabin, Lor sensed these wizards' actions but didn't bother with them, instead sitting in meditation on the bed, waiting for Tanten to come online.
The agreed-upon time was only ten minutes away. Since it concerned a 'hidden mission,' he thought Tanten would be punctual.
As Lor pondered this, Tanten's figure suddenly appeared inexplicably in the cabin.
"You came online ten minutes early; have you sorted out your miscellaneous tasks?" Lor smiled as he looked at the online Tanten.
"Yes, Legislator Lor." Tanten nodded. "I've cleared up all my tasks in advance, so I can now fully cooperate with your experiments."
He went offline just to report progress to his superior, eat, and use the restroom.
Having done these, he naturally didn't linger, now prioritizing the hidden mission above all else.
"Alright, let's go." Lor pointed a finger, casting the Floating Technique and Gravity Technique on Tanten, then opened the second-floor cabin door and flew towards the Wizard Tower with Tanten.
"Greetings, Legislator Lor."
"Greetings, Legislator Lor."
As soon as they saw Lor fly out of the cabin, all the wizards outside naturally put away their Memory Balls and bowed in greeting.
Taking footage of the spaceship is one thing, but doing so when Legislator Lor appears would be seen as ignorant, and no wizard dared to be so disrespectful.
"Hmm." Lor nodded, bypassing the wizards and flying directly towards the first floor of the Wizard Tower.
Once Lor flew into the Wizard Tower, the wizards began whispering among themselves through sound transmission.
"Do you guys know who that mortal is that Legislator Lor brought into the Wizard Tower?"
"Could that person be Legislator Lor's child?"
"That doesn't seem right, and besides, we've never heard of any Third Ring female wizard being favored by Legislator Lor."
"Silence! Speak less of the matters of people of importance. Be careful that Legislator Lor doesn't perceive this and come back to trouble you."
...
At the entrance to the first basement of the Wizard Tower, Lor's mouth twitched as he turned to glance at Tanten, who was being led behind him.
"What's the matter, Legislator Lor?" Tanten asked quizzically.
"Nothing." Lor shook his head, descending directly with Tanten.
"Whew—"
Soon, the pair arrived at the entrance of Lor's dissection room.
The current first basement level was much quieter than before.
Other than a middle-aged Third Ring wizard in a red and green Bicolor Wizard Robe guarding three Winged Demons in front of Lor's dissection room, there were no other demons or wizards in sight.
Tanten, led by Lor, looked around in awe.
The underground space of the Wizard Tower was indeed vast.
Seeing it in person felt worlds apart from seeing it in a CG graphic.
"Legislator Lor, these are the demons you requested."
The middle-aged wizard, seeing Lor's arrival, quickly bowed and pointed at the three demons beside him, saying, "If they're not enough, just give the word. I'm stationed at the dissection room door."
"Thank you." Lor replied with a smile.
One must say, Bruno had indeed considered everything thoroughly, even the possibility of him needing more demons later and specifically posted a Third Ring Great Wizard here.
"It's my duty, compared to everything you've done for the Betula Continent, this is just a trivial matter." The middle-aged wizard's eyes were filled with respect.
Back when Lor walked out of the Wizard Tower and instantaneously destroyed the Eye Demon, he was on the border battlefield, ready to repel Fourth-level demon attacks when the Elemental Legion might fall short.
Lor's appearance was as good as saving his life.
Hence, he held genuine respect for Lor.
Lor smiled without saying more, taking out a red and green Crystal Ball from his Space Ring and pressing it against the dissection room door.
"Kaka-kaka—"
The giant door slowly opened with considerable noise.
Seeing this, the middle-aged wizard was about to cast Floating Technique to help move the demons inside.
"No need to trouble yourself; I'll handle it." Lor stopped his action, reaching out to activate the Gravity Technique.
The three Winged Demons, who were already exhausted from toil, immediately flew themselves atop the dissection table, neatly arranging themselves.
He led Tanten into the dissection room, and the door closed by itself.
"Legislator Lor, you're not planning to have me kill these three Winged Demons, are you?" Tanten asked, looking at the exaggeratedly sized demons with a bitter expression.
His current physical condition made killing a sheep no problem, but even maxing out his stamina with the newly acquired five hundred charge points probably wouldn't be enough to scratch the smallest Winged Demon.
"Don't worry."
Lor smiled, leaving Tanten in place as he moved to a corner and retrieved a one-meter-long needle. Using Elemental Energy, he extended it to five meters, then cast the Floating Technique before handing it to Tanten:
"Use this needle to pierce the Winged Demon's head, starting with the smallest First-level Winged Demon."
"Okay." Seeing Lor provide a weapon, Tanten breathed a sigh of relief, taking the long needle and being led closer to the smallest First-level Winged Demon.
When he was about four meters away from the First-level Winged Demon, he directly thrust the needle into the Winged Demon's head.
As a blue beam emerged from the long needle, the already dying Winged Demon instantly perished.
Lor silently opened the Sequence Panel, and suddenly noticed it had changed.
Where once it showed all zeros, it now read two hundred millionth.
It's a small amount, but having something is better than nothing.
The reason he was so eager to find a way to charge Origin Points was that after ascending to the Fourth Ring, he'd be stuck on basic runes for a long time.
It takes decades to explore a basic rune, and wanting to explore all the basic runes necessary to construct the Space Witchcraft Model could take an unfathomable number of years.
Even with luck, finding some promising Third Ring-level apprentices capable of building Limit-Breaking Microscope Witchcraft, it would still take over a thousand years to gather all the basic Spatial Runes needed to start constructing the Space Witchcraft Model.
The basic Spatial Runes mentioned here, differing from locational, virtual, and other functional basic runes, are the essential foundation for directly constructing the Space Witchcraft Model.
Without these runes, don't even think of constructing Space Witchcraft, because you can't even build the framework.
Subsequent construction of the Plane Crossing Witchcraft and Spatial Domain also requires these.
However, the word 'insight' on the Sequence Panel gave him endless room for imagination.
If his speculation was correct, it might allow him to acquire these basic Spatial Runes much earlier.
"Continue." Lor exhaled lightly, moving Tanten near the Second-level Winged Demon's head.
Another thrust, the Second-level Winged Demon died, and the Sequence Panel's Origin Points increased by two ten-millionth.
After thirty-seven more thrusts, the Third-level Winged Demon died, and the Sequence Panel's Origin Points increased by two millionth.
These are very regular data. Based on this data, Lor already had some plans for the future in mind.
He must quickly break through to the Fourth Ring, then perform a few Limit Breaks on the Meteor Technique, to kill some Fifth-level Abyssal Demons and exchange merits for several layers of Abyssal Demon breeding, creating a long-term... instance for the players?
Then, he could post special player-exclusive demon-killing missions in all Wizard Towers. Players get Magic Crystals, and he gets Origin Points.
The only difficult part of this plan is competing with other Legislators for players' game time allocation. They want the players' Witchcraft Positions, while he wants the players to kill demons.
Once the cost starts inflating, Magic Crystals might not withstand the burn.
Lor already had a solution in mind for this, ensuring not a bad outcome.
