Chapter 453: Chapter 452 Gloria
Ivan truly had no intention of mocking Morris, for his own thoughts were the sa; if not necessary, he would definitely not get anywhere close to the Star Realm Gate, whether it was operating or not.
Previously, Morris had said that the technology for creating the Star Realm Gate was still immature, which undoubtedly increased the risks involved.
“Batches co and go, once those exploring the Great Sky River leave, I estimate that so who wish to explore the Star Realm Gate will arrive.”
“Chairman Hardy isn’t giving the order to leave; could it be that he wants to stay and explore the Star Realm Gate?”
Thinking of Chairman Hardy, Ivan suddenly had a bad feeling, always sensing that the Chairman might have ideas about him.
He thought again and cald down, reasoning that if Chairman Hardy were around, he surely wouldn’t stand by and watch him run into trouble.
...
“Why think so much, the Star Realm Gate is such an important and sophisticated thing, a Level 3 Sorcerer basically wouldn’t be of much use, and might not even qualify to get close.”
Ivan thought of another possibility and silently chuckled.
He thought of Hotter Chairman, having been in Botta Blood Plain for a while, it seed appropriate to pay a visit to this superior. However, being in Sky Flow Valley, he could not move freely for the mont and could only wait for a suitable opportunity.
Afterward, he set aside his myriad of thoughts and continued to busy himself with his affairs.
Having concluded the exploration trip of the Great Sky River, he returned to his second-floor Round Tower and continued his previous task of constructing a miniature Energy Gathering Tower. Thanks to his improved expertise in space, he had completed over ninety percent of it in just a few days.
Following the micro Energy Gathering Tower, the miniature Energy Gathering Tower was about to be conquered by him.
After that, there would be the dium-sized, large, and even the highest standard—the Great Space Energy Gathering Tower.
If ti allowed, he would attempt each one in turn.
Once he conquered the Great Space Energy Gathering Tower, given the difficulty of the Space-type, it would then be much easier and more efficient to move on to other elental types of Energy Gathering Towers, even to the point of being able to arrange them with ease.
The value of the Great Space Energy Gathering Tower was comparable to a dium to large-size magic stone mine; the others should be similar, and the thought alone filled him with motivation.
Aside from researching the Energy Gathering Towers, he had been continuously striving to enhance his strength since arriving in Sky Flow Valley, and what he had told Jenny was no idle talk.
Heart of Fire, late Level 3.
Heart of Wood, mid Level 3.
Heart of Earth, early Level 3.
If it wasn’t so difficult to obtain Witch’s Favor, he would have eagerly used it all to enhance the solidification of his witchcraft crystals.
Now, he was more focused on cultivating it himself, spending more thought and energy on it, and combining it with a small part of the Favor.
As for the remaining Witch’s Favor, he still retained more than half of all his gains.
In terms of the Light of Wisdom, he still had plenty of both the Light of Wisdom and the Light of Great Wisdom left, all reserved for future use.
…
A week later, Morris hurriedly sought him out again, with Gloria following close behind.
“Two sorcerers, do you have so top-secret news again?” Ivan looked amusedly at the inseparable pair.
“Guess who’s going to watch the Star Realm Gate?” Morris teased.
“Who?”
“Guess first.”
Seeing his deanor, Ivan figured it must be soone he knew or had heard of, and moreover, a sorcerer within the scope of Botta Blood Plain, which actually narrowed it down considerably.
“Your revered Master Hotis?” He imdiately thought of one person.
“It’s not him,” Morris shook his head.
“Could it be that Heavenly Beauty, Tanaya?” Ivan thought of another person.
“That’s right, it’s Tanaya Fitzgerald. I really didn’t expect her to be interested in exploring the Star Realm Gate. I tell you, she’s also a young sorcerer with exceptional talent. She was the talk of the town back in the day; you two might have a lot in common to talk about.
When she arrives, shall I introduce you?”
Morris put on a ‘I knew you’d guess’ expression, eagerly talking about the Heavenly Beauty and suggesting that he would introduce them.
“You know her?”
“We’ve t a few tis, and I’m sowhat familiar with her.”
“There’s no need to go out of your way for , let things happen as they may.”
Ivan waved his hand dismissively. Although he had so achievents, in terms of status, he really wasn’t much to speak of in front of her.
Tanaya ca from the top-notch Void King family, and he himself wasn’t even from a sorcerer family, making it clear that they were not from the sa circle and it was not necessary to force an interaction.
“You’ve co at just the right ti, help fetch so materials—” He imdiately changed the subject.
“Your miniature energy gathering tower is completed?” Hearing this, Morris’s eyes lit up.
“I finished it this morning, and you arrived in the afternoon,” Ivan said, leading the two n towards another area, with them hurrying to follow.
“I rember you said before that it would take so more ti—I understand now, it seems you made quite the gain inside the Great Sky River. Tsk tsk, your proficiency in space is already high, this is truly unfair to others—”
During Morris’s continuous chattering, the three of them arrived in front of the completed miniature Energy Gathering Tower.
Seeing this, Morris gave another round of praise.
“If this continues, you’ll undoubtedly be the top choice to perfect the Star Realm Gate,” he muttered at the end.
“No, don’t jinx , as I’ve said before, with our current strength levels, the Star Realm is too far away; please don’t babble nonsense in front of Doradoli Chairman,” Ivan quickly glared at him.
“Ha ha ha, it’s rare that our thoughts align, let’s drink to our hearts’ content today,” Morris laughed loudly.
“That’s easy to do, I happen to have a new brew called ‘Frost Dew,’ which has a unique taste; I bet Gloria will like it even more,” Ivan said.
Gloria, standing beside them, was sowhat surprised; she hadn’t expected him to ntion her.
Compared to Morris’s outgoing and talkative nature, Gloria was a woman of few words, always quietly following Morris. With a bit of observation, one could notice that Gloria had always harbored a fondness for Morris.
On the contrary, Morris often feigned ignorance, seemingly reluctant to enter into matrimony so quickly.
After all, marriage is no trifling matter, and once they wed, their respective families would have demands and constraints, which would not allow Morris to continue ‘enjoying life’ as he did.
“Quickly bring it out, let us have a taste.”
Urged on by Ivan’s words, Morris beca impatient.
As a hedonist and soone who idolized Hotter, his daily life certainly included wine, and he even considered himself an expert.
Ivan had soone bring over a small barrel of Frost Dew and casually attracted the liquor into cups, with the subtle aroma of the wine intoxicating the senses first.
“Delightful! Refreshing! Exquisite! Silky! llow! What a ‘Frost Dew,’ what a fine wine, if only it were a tad stronger.”
“Ivan, did you brew this yourself?”
Morris couldn’t wait and drank half a glass, his wine tasting posture looking quite professional.
Gloria also picked up a glass and took a sip, her eyes sparkling, and a thin smile appeared on her face, reflecting her dimples.
She seed quite appreciative of Frost Dew.
“I don’t have a hobby of brewing wine,” Ivan said.
“Whose sorcerer’s masterpiece is this?” Morris continued to ask.
“Dan Lin, from the Qingqi tribe,” Ivan did not hide it and casually shared a few details about Dan Lin.
“Ah, I see, she must be soone with a great talent for brewing,” Morris raised his eyebrows, envious but due to Gloria’s presence, he didn’t express it out loud.
He didn’t take seriously Dan Lin’s distant relation to a Level 5 Sorcerer at all.
Such relations were all too common in Botta Blood Plain, and if he were to count, there were many around him, nothing unusual.
“Sowhat so,” Ivan said.
“Any other new brews?” Not intending to be polite, Morris drank several more cups of Frost Dew and couldn’t help but ask.
“Yes, but none as good as Frost Dew,” Ivan had anticipated this and had the Lightning Wine, also crafted by Justine, brought over as well.
“Bring it out, let’s take a look,” Morris tasted the Lightning Wine and casually comnted, “The strength is acceptable, but the flavor isn’t as smooth, definitely not brewed by the sa person. Strange! There seems to be a certain flavor in both types of wine—”
It was evident that he did possess certain skills in wine tasting.
Hearing his critique, Ivan just smiled and didn’t say much.
Soon after, Morris took away a batch of Frost Dew, ready to go back and continue his indulgence.
Less than half an hour after the two left, Gloria paid a second visit to the second floor of the Round Tower.
“Sorcerer Ivan, pardon my intrusion, I hope you don’t mind.”
“Do you have more matters with ?”
Ivan looked at her with surprise; this was the first ti Gloria visited him alone. Previously, she always ca with Morris, so he really couldn’t fathom why she would co to see him on her own.
Could this be because of the imminent arrival of Tanaya Fitzgerald?
If Tanaya and Morris had a special relationship, compared to that Heavenly Beauty, Gloria really had no advantage in any aspect—
