Chapter 481: Chapter 479: Four Thousand ters
“For teleportation, one kiloter is a starting point.”
“As distances increase, the difficulty continuously climbs, and various issues erge one after another, ultimately impacting the stability of teleportation and introducing dangers of death.”
“Ivan raised the second phase’s goal from one kiloter to three kiloters, not out of blind expansion, but based on a solid foundation laid during the first phase, with the overall frawork already set. He was confident in avoiding major problems.”
“This proved to be correct.”
“Ti flowed like water, and nearly a month had passed.”
“Under Ivan’s leadership, a group of people bustled about, transforming the ‘Return City Tower’ drastically, expanding its overall area several fold, and achieving the desired distance of three thousand ters.”
...
“Ivan, you’re fast.”
“The sorcerers are quite diligent.”
“That’s also because you lead them well.”
“President, please.”
“He rembered clearly that the President had always ntioned wanting to try it personally. After achieving the second phase’s goal, he specifically sent Doradoli an invitation.”
“President Doradoli was gracious, arriving early the next day.”
“Ivan led him around and reintroduced the enlarged Return City Tower.”
“At this mont, the central base tower at the very center had exceeded ten ters in height, its external volu tripled, housing a large Space-type energy particle pool for energy support.”
“Should we switch to an Energy Gathering Tower next?”
“We’ll attempt that. Based on the current situation, the large particle pool can support up to five kiloters, so there’s no imdiate need to switch to an Energy Gathering Tower.”
“As long as you’re sure.”
“The base towers around are employing combinations of size and visibility, light and shade. In the future, we’ll also expand their protective powers, sealing powers, and even the powers of spatial slicing. We’ll consider having a certain type of magic puppet to guard them—”
“In fact, the surrounding base towers are simplified versions of the central base tower and extensions of its powers.”
“It could be anticipated that once the Return City Tower is used on the battlefield, it will reveal its extraordinary powers.”
“The enemies will quickly notice sothing amiss and target the base towers, aiming to remove the surrounding towers one by one until they destroy the central base tower.”
“When Ivan enhanced the Return City Tower, he also had to consider the protection abilities of the base towers themselves.”
“Doradoli was not hearing this from Ivan for the first ti, but this ti the explanation was more detailed, and he nodded repeatedly, clearly agreeing with these points.”
“You handle things well, and I trust you. Should I, the sorcerer, enter the field for testing now? Don’t tell it’s only a one-ti test?”
“Of course not, you can try it up to twenty tis.”
“That’s good, let them prepare then. I’ve never known what it ans to hold back.”
“President, please feel free.”
Hearing the President say this, Ivan imdiately presented a bunch of Return City Orders, signaling the sorcerer at the central base tower to prepare for Doradoli’s teleportation.”
“Compared to Level 2 and Level 3 Sorcerers, the Arcane Wizard’s stature was completely different. The teleportation’s energy consumption would naturally increase, and the load on the Return City Tower would intensify, warranting the sorcerers’ utmost readiness.”
“Previously, Hotter acted as a tester, and preparations were quite sufficient, so there was no need to worry about issues.”
“Even so, Ivan personally went to the central base tower just in case anything needed urgent attention.”
“Inside the central base tower, in the middle was an energy particle pool covered with mysterious runes, resembling a well, now five ters deep.”
“The pool was filled with semi-solidified energy liquid, which appeared calm on the surface but contained terrifyingly high energy, causing intense discomfort even for a Level 1 Sorcerer who approached.”
“Here it cos.”
“At this mont, Angus, operating the central base tower, noticed the activity above and couldn’t help but speak up.”
“The central base tower began operating, spreading a heavy pulling force.”
“The energy liquid in the particle pool visibly decreased at a rapid pace. Only after dropping half a ter did President Doradoli’s figure teleport inside the tower.”
“Ivan stared at the energy particle pool, sowhat dumbfounded.”
“Is there a problem?” Doradoli asked upon seeing this.”
“My estimate was wrong; given your stature, you can only teleport ten tis,” Ivan said with a wry smile.
He muttered under his breath, thinking how unreliable Hotter was, declaring with certainty that he and Doradoli, the President, weren’t much different, despite knowing that a single teleportation could only consu twenty centiters of energy liquid.
Otherwise, how could he have concluded that it would take twenty tis?
The result? It was exactly double the estimated number of tis, which was quite laughable.
“That’s your problem, you can’t go back on your promise. Twenty tis, not one less,” Doradoli said with a laugh.
“Then you’d better test more slowly and give us so ti.”
“I’ll try my best.”
Doradoli left a vague comnt and walked out of the central tower with grace.
“What should we do now, Scholar?”
“It’s simple. Have soone move the Space Crystal Stones in, quickly transform them into energy liquid, and don’t delay the President’s valuable ti.”
Unlike Angus and the others, Ivan wasn’t worried at all about the President making things difficult for him, this was not an issue once it was openly discussed. Moreover, he believed the conversion efficiency of the large particle pool would be satisfactory.
That morning, President Doradoli returned in high spirits.
Then, Ivan announced to the team mbers the third stage goal—four kiloters.
…
During this period, Ivan, besides researching the Return City Tower, didn’t forget to pay attention to Tanaya’s situation.
Concerning Tanaya, Hotter always inford him promptly, and the current situation was overall quite optimistic.
After Te Wu and Beiluo were asked to leave Sky Flow Valley, neither the Fitzgerald family nor the Gardner family would just let it go.
However, President Doradoli took asures first, issuing a formal notice in his and Hur’s na to the sorcerer world that Sky Flow Valley was investigating sothing critically important and was under strict control from that day forward.
Thus, the two major families found it difficult to send anyone else to Sky Flow Valley, though private contacts were frequent.
From the Fitzgerald family ca Lady Vicky, family elders, brothers, uncles, all looking to persuade Tanaya with reason and family honor, but she rebuffed them all under the guise of research.
From the Gardner family, pursuing Mara and Tanaya similarly resulted in rejection.
For those more troubleso individuals, Hotter would personally step in, make direct contact, and flippantly rebuff them, reminding them not to always disturb his team mbers, or they would be hindering the research process.
Leveraging his Arcane Wizard status, Hotter bullied without restraint, leaving people quite embarrassed.
As he put it, he would try to draw all the attention to himself, giving the team more ti and a more relaxed research environnt.
As for certain misunderstandings, he was powerless.
Concerning Beiluo’s delusion, Ivan couldn’t help either. All he could do was explain the truth, saying Mara had stolen her own brother’s partner. It was a matter soone had to believe to accept.
Placing the two together, he believed 99.9% of people would not suspect Beiluo’s own sister.
Thus, he thought it better not to explain at all.
Ivan then focused more of his energy on the third stage of the Return City Tower research.
In the third stage, the return distance reached four kiloters, and several distributed towers around needed to be further spread out, orderly yet scattered, to extend the traction and spatial channels by another thousand ters.
A single spark can start a prairie fire.
This thousand-ter increase required further improvents in the temporary channel constructed by the Return City Order and the towers, as well as the protective shield derived solely from the Return City Order, among others.
For Ivan and his team, having steadily and progressively built up enough experience, the difficulty increase in the third stage wasn’t considered significant, nor were the improvents.
After another busy twenty days, they successfully extended the return distance to four kiloters.
The team didn’t relax but imdiately announced the comncent of the fourth phase of the research, aiming directly for five kiloters, extending yet another thousand ters.
“Ladies and gentlen, wizards, we are now approaching a five-kiloter teleportation distance. It is said that when reaching five kiloters, so qualitative changes will occur, significantly increasing the difficulty of maintaining stability. Please, be ntally prepared.”
“Co on, Scholar, bring it on!”
“Exactly, the previous research under your guidance was effortlessly disappointing. I’m really hoping for so tough challenges.”
“Haha, sensible indeed. I want to see whose bones are harder, the five-kiloter teleportation distance or us sorcerers?”
As usual, Ivan gathered everyone for a summary and a motivational speech, also touching on the serious situation of the fourth phase.
However, with the research team in high spirits, ready to forge ahead, the wizards didn’t consider the serious situation at all, confident that with a certain Scholar leading them, a re five thousand ters was nothing.
Seeing this, Ivan showed a radiant smile, feeling equally spirited inside.
