Chapter 1388: Chapter 546: Epic Candidate_2

But as soon as this thought emerged, Ron forcibly suppressed it.

He did quite like the smart and charming black-haired Princess.

But this liking was far from the level of wanting to spend a lifetime with her.

A union purely for profit also completely violated his deep-seated principles.

"The emotional bond between Eve and me."

He reorganized his words: "This can serve as a great communication bridge."

Just then, the voices of Nari and Aselia almost simultaneously sounded in his consciousness:

"Sweetheart, what did you just think of?"

Nari’s tone carried subtle probing.

"Are you considering a deeper relationship union?"

Aselia directly broached the topic.

Facing the keen insight of the two "seniors," Ron felt a bit helpless:

"You both noticed?"

"Of course!" Nari’s voice was mixed with a hint of jealousy:

"Though mom is reluctant to let my darling benefit that old woman’s daughter..."

She clicked her tongue lightly, her tone turning realistic:

"But for the sake of the overall situation, perhaps temporarily playing along is indeed the wise choice."

Aselia’s analysis was more calm and rational:

"For any extraordinary, strong alliances are the norm. It’s not simply about emotions, but more about resource integration and strategic layout."

The two seniors, who rarely agreed on viewpoints, unexpectedly stood on the same front this time, which left Ron feeling both amused and distressed.

He could sense the subtle emotions deep within their hearts.

Neither wanted to see their cherished "treasure" being shared, but reason told them this might be the best choice.

"Moreover." Nari added:

"Judging by the King of Absurdity’s attitude towards you, the old chap clearly appreciates and favors you."

"Sweetheart, you can use this point, to send friendly signals when communicating with Cassandra."

"Let her understand that you will be returning within a year, and all the knowledge and intelligence you gained in Vinard can be shared with her."

Aselia continued:

"Furthermore, the relationship between Vinard and Cassandra isn’t entirely adversarial.

To put it plainly, it’s just normal competition within the Wizard System."

"What you need to do is rationalize your actions using appropriate rhetoric and behavior logic.

Let her understand that attempting to control you will only result in mutual loss, but establishing a cooperative relationship can yield long-term benefits."

Saklang, despite feeling somewhat baffled by this complex operation, had to acknowledge its rationale:

"If enmity can indeed be turned into friendship, it’s certainly the ideal outcome."

Ron nodded, with a basic action framework already formed in his mind.

However, to perfectly convey these complex political signals and emotional nuances, mere language was far from enough.

He needed a more delicate and persuasive approach.

"It just so happens that I’ve made breakthroughs in alchemy recently and can try creating an advanced alchemical creature—[Harmony Butterfly]."

Everyone in the room ("not a single one was human") was drawn to this term.

"The wings of this butterfly are composed of resonance crystals, and each flap can scatter magic power notes of specific frequencies.

It not only transmits information but synchronously conveys subtle emotional changes."

Ron began sketching out the basic structure of the Harmony Butterfly in the air:

"I have designed two gifts—one for Eve and one for Cassandra—but both will be carried by the same Harmony Butterfly."

The ingenuity of this design was immediately understood by everyone.

Carlos spoke approvingly:

"A metaphor of killing two birds with one stone, binding your personal relationship with Eve and the benefits you can bring to Cassandra."

"I plan to create a [Dream Realm Music Box] for Eve."

Ron continued detailing his creation:

"An artifact that can capture the wearer’s sweetest dreams and convert them into unique calming music."

"For Cassandra, I’ll present a [Green Ring Ecological Niche Model]."

His expression turned cold when mentioning Cassandra:

"Based on my observations in the Vinard Colony, combined with simulations from ’sandbox games,’

it’s an academic presentation on ’how under high-pressure governance, different races’ ecological niches can achieve stable and efficient energy cycles.’"

"This report will directly target the core issue of ’post-conquest governance difficulties’ faced by the Conquest Faction."

Nari exclaimed excitedly in his consciousness: "Sweetheart, this plan sounds excellent!"

Aselia also expressed her agreement: "A perfect blend of emotion and reason, a clever balance of private relations and cooperative interests."

Ron began designing these two creations in his mind.

This would be his first practice of the newly comprehended [Triadic Techniques] after returning from the Land of Mirrors.

[Alchemy (Stories)]: He needed to find special materials capable of housing "dreams" and "harmony" stories.

[Magic Potion Making (Potentials)]: He needed to concoct precise potions that could guide potential emotions and thoughts.

[Enchantment (Language)]: He needed to craft a new rune system that could connect "stories" with "potentials."

"Cassandra mentioned that the caravan would not arrive until early next month."

Ron calculated the time:

"This means I have just over two weeks to complete these two pieces, right after this quarter’s review."

"Ample time to ensure every detail reaches perfection."
