Chapter 497: Chapter 495: On the Return to City Tower
Every sorcerer attending the Supre Council was a top figure in the sorcerer world, and none were daunted by the occasion. The sorcerers took turns speaking about matters of varying importance—so simply reporting on the situation in a certain area, others discussing the progress of various research topics, and so on.
When it ca to research topics, the sorcerers always engaged in eager discussions.
At one point, the debate even saw an Arcane Wizard openly refute the Void King sorcerer’s views, bluntly calling the latter’s remarks nonsense and suggesting he better go back and study so more.
For a ti, the Truth Hall was both lively and noisy.
“My fellows, I have so good news.”
As the council reached a certain mont, Doradoli seized the opportunity and, without hesitation, stood up to make an announcent to everyone present.
...
“Doradoli sorcerer, there’s recent news that your Sky Flow Valley has been researching the teleportation array topic, is that true?” No sooner had he finished speaking, soone imdiately queried.
“That’s correct. That’s what I am about to talk about,” Doradoli said with a smile.
“Have you made any progress?”
“Yes, but it wasn’t led by the people from my Sky Flow Valley, and I myself did not directly participate. Ivan Marichardon—a na I’m sure many have heard—actually led the research. He is an Enchantnt Master within my School of Space.
“Sorcerer Ivan started a sub-research topic from the original teleportation array project called the ‘Hocoming Tower.’
“Please allow to introduce the Hocoming Tower project in detail—”
During the following ti, Doradoli not only described the Hocoming Tower verbally but also presented docunts, test data, scene captures, performance evaluations, etc., to give the sorcerers a general showcase.
Previously, he had declared a state of martial law in Sky Flow Valley.
The other sorcerers had heard of this, but they did not know the specifics of the situation; many thought it was just another futile spectacle. Only now did they realize that substantial achievents had been made—the data spoke for itself.
“Thirty thousand ters, certainly an improvent over the past.”
“Too complicated, not practical for real-world applications.”
“Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand; this Hocoming Tower clearly has a lot of potentials, with thirty thousand ters just being a starting point. In the future, it could possibly expand to three hundred thousand ters, or even three million ters.”
“Quark, your statent is exaggerated. Sorcerer Ivan is only a Level 3 Sorcerer; his abilities have limits, and perhaps this thirty thousand ters is his limit.”
Arcane Wizards were neither omniscient nor omnipotent, having their research interests and specializations.
However, once most sorcerers advanced past arcane knowledge, they would explore space energy, differing only in the depth of their inquiry. With teleportation, many had at least dabbled in it.
After hearing Doradoli’s introduction, the sorcerers below quickly started discussing.
“My fellows, I can assure you that thirty thousand ters is certainly not the limit of Sorcerer Ivan’s research. Furthermore, he has clearly expressed his hope that us senior sorcerers would continue to expand upon his frawork, to bring the Hocoming Tower into service for our sorcerer world as soon as possible.”
Doradoli let others discuss for a while before speaking again.
At the end, he eagerly volunteered to continue the research.
“As for the practical application concerns that so of you are worried about, Sorcerer Ivan has already envisioned extending this to important fortresses, movable airships, and even so special space magic devices. You really don’t need to worry about that.
“As for the selection of the successor, I am humbly willing—”
“Wait a second, Doradoli, you are too hasty. The topic hasn’t yet been approved for further research; now is not the ti to discuss a successor.”
Before he could finish, soone interrupted him.
The introduction had only broadly outlined the situation; much core data remained undisclosed. The potential of the Hocoming Tower was evident—naturally, others were eager to get involved.
“Nonsense! Am I, the President of the School of Space, not qualified to continue researching the achievents of my own school?”
“You misunderstood my point. We should first discuss the feasibility of the topic, then the candidates for future research—don’t mix up the order.”
“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to, but don’t even think about it.”
“——”
With so harboring ulterior motives, Doradoli no longer bothered with niceties, giving a direct riposte to each comnt.
To this, everyone else acted as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.
In the eyes of outsiders, the supre council eting, which seed almighty and unassailable, was actually spent mostly in debate.
The Truth Hall was isolated from the outside world, and no one could hear the noise inside. The powerful, who usually had to maintain their poise, now had a rare opportunity to abandon decorum altogether; naturally, when it was ti to swear, they did, and quite foully at tis.
Exhausted from cursing, or having won the argunt, they would automatically stop.
In this confrontation concerning the selection of the successor, Doradoli had occupied a great advantage with his many strengths, giving him a sense of overwhelming pride for a mont.
“Regarding Sorcerer Ivan’s reward, could we perhaps grant him so Truth Gems that he could use soon? Sothing like twenty or thirty?”
The speaker was Hardy Charosi, who was seated rather near the front, close to the spot reserved for the sorcerers of the Void King. He directed his comnt towards them.
The mont he voiced this suggestion, the Truth Hall beca exceptionally quiet.
Truth Gems were sothing that not even Arcane Wizards could craft, and at present, there were only two people in the sorcerer world who could produce them. One was the King of the Long Sky, and it was under his hands that the gems ca into being.
The other was the Dragon Fla King.
The Dragon Fla King had mastered the power of flas to an extraordinary extent and was highly skilled at crafting various objects. However, the Truth Gems he produced were clearly inferior in quality to those of the King of the Long Sky.
“I agree, Sorcerer Ivan’s achievents are worthy of such a reward.”
“I concur as well.”
Seeing how earnest Hardy was, Doradoli and Ma Li were the first to catch on and expressed their agreent.
Philona, too, was present. As the City Lord of the East Capital, she naturally supported her own eminent scholar, echoing the agreent and ntioning so of Ivan’s past achievents.
“I believe it’s inappropriate, the Tower of Return has only been a concept thus far proved useful, and its true efficacy is unknown at this ti.”
“Those from the Fitzgerald family, what are you trying to say? The Tower of Return also has Tanaya Fitzgerald’s contribution, are you suggesting that several Level 3 Sorcerers need to give you practical proof of its applicability, an impossible task—where is your face, didn’t you bring it today?”
Where there was support, there was also opposition, with many more choosing to remain neutral.
It was evident that those in favor outnumbered those against.
“I too, do not agree.”
“Fitz—Lord Charosi, why do you not agree?”
Another voice of dissent was heard, and Doradoli instinctively retorted, only to realize the speaker was none other than the King of the Long Sky.
As the original creator of the Truth Gems, there was no doubting the weight of the King of the Long Sky’s words.
“My suggestion is that we allow him to choose a treasure from the Truth Vault. What do you think?” Charosi did not answer Doradoli’s question but instead offered his own view.
When the King of the Long Sky spoke, although many were perplexed, they nevertheless showed support, and there were even more supporters than before.
This left Hardy and Doradoli frustrated, and in the end, the reward was determined to be a selection from the Truth Vault.
To speak frankly, any item in the Truth Vault was invaluable, but as for their use to Ivan, they would clearly not compare to the Truth Gems that could aid in the advancent to Arcane.
Alas, the King of the Long Sky had spoken.
At this point, Hardy and Doradoli were even pondering the engagent, lanting how affairs of the heart had wronged Ivan, causing him to miss out on a great opportunity.
The Tower of Return was soon set aside, and other matters continued to be brought up at the eting.
Eventually, this special council eting was declared over at last. The sorcerers began to leave their seats and head outside the Truth Hall, while others stood up but did not leave.
“Lord Charosi, regarding Ivan, and Tanaya, we have an audacious request, we also—”
“Since it is an audacious request, then there’s no need to ntion it in the presence of this sorcerer.”
Facing Hardy and Doradoli, who had approached him, the King of the Long Sky didn’t give the two much face.
Both felt a mont of embarrassnt.
This scene undoubtedly caught the attention of many, with so from the Fitzgerald family and the Gardner Family displaying a smile that betrayed their bafflent.
However, the next sentence from the King of the Long Sky froze their smiles.
“As it happens, I also have sothing to say. Since you both have connections with Sorcerer Ivan, you’d better listen carefully. I intend to betroth Tanaya Fitzgerald to Ivan Marichardon; convey this to him for .”
