Chapter 480: Chapter 478: Leaving in Disappointnt
Beyond the exploration zone.
As the witnessing matters concluded, the bustling scene no longer existed, yet so people still lingered, unwilling to leave. Among them were Tiwu, Beiluo, and their companions.
“We are not deeply versed in the knowledge of space, and errors are bound to occur. Don’t take such a trifle to heart.”
After a while, Tiwu broke the silence.
He felt sowhat embarrassed about what had just transpired, but it wasn’t enough to break his composure.
“Indeed.”
...
Beiluo nodded slightly.
The two had intended to take advantage of the situation to sabotage that research project, thus avoiding so troubles. They had not expected the sorcerers here to be so cunning, leading them to misjudge and end up with egg on their faces.
“This matter is of little importance; it won’t affect our plans.”
“You’re right, the main issue is what matters. The reputation of our two families cannot be tarnished because of this.”
“Exactly, I will persuade Tanaya if it really cos down to it—”
The two chatted aimlessly while keeping an eye on the movents in the exploration zone.
According to their thinking, since people had arrived and notifications had been sent, Tanaya and Mara, the two sisters, would definitely make ti to co out so everyone could solve the issues face to face.
anwhile,
Elsewhere,
In the area of the Return Tower, everyone not involved in the project had already departed, leaving only the mbers of the research team.
Out of the sorcerer’s habit and prudence, Ivan Marichardon followed the usual procedure and signed various agreents with Sang Dai, who had recently joined, fully inducting him into the research team.
Following this, Ivan gathered everyone for a second rallying eting.
“Fellow sorcerers, at this mont, we can truly stand here and declare that we have succeeded in the first phase, providing an explanation to all parties involved, and they are fairly satisfied.”
As soon as these words were spoken, applause arose from the assembly, and he had to pause his speech to join in the clapping.
Once the applause subsided, he continued:
“Next cos the second phase, but before that, I must ask if any sorcerer needs a few days to rest? It has indeed been a busy ti, and your hard work has been appreciated.”
“No need, no need.”
“No thanks, I’m eager to further enhance the Return Tower. A thousand ters is hardly sufficient.”
“I do.”
Hearing Ivan’s question, the sorcerers below voiced their declines in succession. With the energy and recovery abilities of a Level 3 Sorcerer, to say nothing of ten or twenty days, even years without rest wouldn’t dampen their vigor.
Among all answers, there was but one exception.
“Sorry, I arrived in quite a hurry and need to return to my abode for a few days to deal with so things in the laboratory, lest so things get out of control.” The speaker was the sorcerer Sang Dai.
“As it should be,” Ivan expressed his agreent.
Those familiar with a sorcerer’s laboratory knew that so things indeed needed to be securely archived, and it wasn’t sothing that could be handled quickly, requiring a considerable amount of ti.
Apart from the newly joined Sang Dai, everyone else couldn’t wait to start the next phase of research.
Ivan didn’t waste words and proceeded to discuss the arrangents for the second phase.
“The goal for the second phase, I think we’ve laid a solid foundation, and we can shift our sights sowhat further. Replacing the small energy particle pool with a large one, extending the distance from one thousand to three thousand ters—what do you think?”
“Let’s follow the lead of the great scholar.”
The sorcerers knew who deserved the main credit for the Return Tower, and they had also witnessed his profound knowledge and skills. No one opposed the decisions he made.
Ivan and his group, after refining their plan, began to busily engage in their activities.
As a result, so who were eagerly waiting suffered for it.
Ti passed, second by second.
Outside the exploration area, Ti Wu and Beiluo waited left and waited right but never saw the person they wanted to et. The patience on their faces gradually wore thin, and the frustration that had simred in their hearts now flared up.
“Didn’t you tell your sister Mara?” Ti Wu couldn’t help but ask.
“I did, and she agreed readily enough,” Beiluo’s eyelids twitched, and an unpleasant possibility ca to mind, “Could it be that fellow won’t let her leave?”
“Who?” Ti Wu paused for a mont before realizing, “Are you saying Ivan Marichadon is playing tricks, stopping your sister Mara from leaving?”
“It’s very likely. Tanaya once told she has soone she’s fond of,” Beiluo said with a grim face.
“This—” Upon hearing this, Ti Wu’s cheek twitched, as it was the first ti he had heard of such a situation. It was sowhat inappropriate, and he quickly said:
“Stay calm and don’t get agitated. Tanaya isn’t that kind of person. There might be another reason for this. Let’s wait until your sister Mara cos out to discuss it.”
“I know. In front of , Mara would certainly not speak of others.”
This interruption restored so of their patience, and they continued to wait quietly.
Unexpectedly to both n, even as night fell, and despite their attempts at continuous contact, the result was the sa—they were simply left hanging there.
By the end of the day, Ti Wu and Beiluo were seething with pent-up anger.
Before leaving, the two discussed and decided it was necessary to change their strategy. They might as well negotiate directly with the Sky Flow Valley authorities to allow them to enter and look for people or to have soone bring the person out.
They had co on behalf of their families, and presumably, Sky Flow Valley would not want to snub them, just as they had managed to infiltrate this place without much difficulty.
On the following day, Ti Wu and Beiluo, however, did not act rashly but continued to wait patiently.
Their main concern was the Arcane Wizards, and Sky Flow Valley had three of them. The family is the family, and individual power is individual power; of course, they didn’t dare be too presumptuous.
On the third day, they sent people to watch all the locations.
On the fifth day, unable to restrain themselves any longer, Ti Wu and Beiluo approached the wizard on duty in Sky Flow Valley and put forth a request on behalf of their two families.
“That cannot be done.”
“What?”
“As you must already be aware, the research on the hocoming tower in the exploration area is extrely important, not just for us in Sky Flow Valley but also for the entire sorcerer world. Without permission from above, no one can enter the exploration area for the ti being.”
What they faced was a blunt rejection.
The other side’s rationale was abundant, leaving Ti Wu and Beiluo without a rebuttal, and they could only depart from the sorcerer tower disheartened.
With no other choice, they continued to wait.
Fortunately, as the saying goes, “Persistence pays off,” the two saw their targets on the eleventh day. Tanaya and Mara appeared, as well as the unexpected Hotter.
“You all go back first. Once we finish the research on the hocoming tower, we will naturally return.”
“Mm-hmm, the hocoming tower and the teleportation array are just as crucial. Lucky to be involved in the research, how could we just leave casually? Brother, you should go first. I’ll make sure to bring Tanaya back completely.”
“Tanaya and Mara are part of the support group of our own, I don’t care what other affairs you have, they all get put aside for now, or don’t bla for not showing consideration to Fitzgerald and Gardner.”
Tanaya, Mara, and Hotter each made their points with confidence.
Hotter even laid down his words, showing an attitude of ‘if you don’t show respect, I won’t show you any,’ which made Beiluo and his companion bite the bullet hard.
Afterward, Tanaya and Mara slipped back into the exploration area.
In a few days, Beiluo and his comrade speculated it was Hotter stirring trouble. The Sky Flow Valley side used the excuse of highly confidential research to tighten security and control, temporarily not welcoming anyone from outside the School of Space to stay.
Beiluo and Ti Wu were asked to leave the Sky Flow Valley, and as they departed, their complexions were as dark as charcoal.
Especially Beiluo, his expression feral as if ready to devour soone. As for Ivan, whom he suspected was his rival, he never showed his face again from beginning to end.
