Chapter 675: Chapter 675: The War Ends
"Mr. Ted, may I ask if it’s possible to rely approach the Moon Well area for observation and make a few simple records?" Duke inquired.
His goal had always been the Moon Well. Even though he didn’t have the opportunity to seize it now, he wanted to see if he could observe it up close.
The risk of sneaking over was too high; if he could approach and observe through proper channels, that would naturally be best.
As for the surrounding scattered potential resources, he wasn’t very interested.
Because these resources weren’t imdiately necessary to him, the Moon Well was the most important.
Master Ted, hearing Duke’s inquiry, showed a hint of contemplation on his stern face.
His sharp gaze lingered for a mont on Duke’s seemingly weary yet persistent face, as if evaluating his true intentions.
"Just observation and recording?" Master Ted’s voice was emotionless, "The battle in the Moon Well area hasn’t completely ended, and the core area remains dangerous. Lord Vika and several other Level 2 Peak colleagues are handling the final resistance. Approaching now requires permission and is inherently risky."
He paused, his tone shifting slightly, "However... once that side is thoroughly cleared and the formal capturing of the Moon Well begins, the situation will be different. By then, the main threats will have been removed, and Lord Vika may allow a few colleagues with special reasons or an interest in energy research to observe and record under strict supervision. After all, fully capturing a Level 1 Moon Well itself is a rare practical lesson in energy manipulation."
Master Ted looked Duke up and down, "If you genuinely just want to observe and record, learning the techniques of energy stripping and stable storage, and not harbor any other intentions," he looked at Duke aningfully,
"I could try, after the battle ends, to apply to Lord Vika for a position as a periter observer on the grounds of assisting with analysis of residual energy fields and accumulating data for subsequent Energy Well construction. After all, with the title of Comrce Association’s alchemy consultant, this reason is fairly legitimate.
Moreover, as far as I know, you have the status of a Limit Breaker, which should afford you so leniency."
Duke imdiately nodded, displaying a look of mixed curiosity and gratitude on his face, "Thank you, Mr. Ted! I am indeed very interested in energy field changes and stable structures, and being able to observe and learn on-site would be very beneficial for . I’m willing to wait until the battle completely ends."
Ted Master nodded slightly, "Then stay freely active in this area, but don’t stray far. When the core area’s signal cos, I’ll inform you."
Having said that, he did not speak further, turning to head in the direction of Elwin, clearly intending to take this mber back first while also paving the way for Duke’s subsequent observation.
Duke watched Master Ted leave, feeling slightly relieved. This outco was better than he had expected.
He didn’t stray from the area, casually searching for so usable resources and materials nearby.
In fact, there weren’t many good findings; anything valuable wouldn’t remain until now, mostly remnants without much significance to him.
So Duke simply found a relatively safe place and drank so recovery potions to restore Magic Power and Spiritual Power.
Ti passed as he waited, with Ellistere’s pale purple moonlight gently enveloping the land scarred by battle.
The resistance in the core area grew weaker, finally, about two hours later, following a stronger energy burst and exclamations, everything beca completely quiet.
Another half hour later, a ssage from the Star Do Crystal arrived, it was from Master Ted: "You can co over now, to the eastern periter of the core area, I’ll be waiting at the marked spot. Rember, just look, don’t ask questions, don’t touch anything, record using Spiritual Power or image crystal, avoid any magic that might interfere with the energy field."
Duke felt a surge of energy, imdiately getting up and quietly moving in the direction indicated by Master Ted.
Soon, he arrived at the edge of the core area.
The Slave Legion’s encirclent was still tight here, but the atmosphere had changed.
Most Wizards bore expressions of relaxation mixed with slightly tired excitent after the battle, chatting in small groups, inventorying the spoils piled aside, primarily Elven creations and materials looted from tree forts and burrows, along with so well-preserved Moon Well Water Essence.
Master Ted stood on a patch of ground that had been specially cleared, accompanied by three or four other Wizards, who seed sowhat aged or possessed a research-oriented deanor.
Vika wasn’t present, evidently still overseeing the most crucial capturing work by the Moon Well.
Seeing Duke arrive, Master Ted nodded to him, indicating for him to stand behind, then whispered a few words to a middle-aged Wizard beside him, seemingly an assistant to Vika.
That middle-aged Wizard glanced at Duke, then at Master Ted, finally nodding and handing Duke a small tal badge engraved with the Star Do Comrce Association’s emblem, "Wear it visibly, it allows you to observe within the designated area, do not exceed the designated boundaries, do not make loud noises, and do not cast any Magic. Lord Vika has granted you this observation privilege, do not cause trouble."
"Understood, thank you, sir." Duke respectfully accepted the tal badge, hanging it on his chest, then stood behind Master Ted, gazing at the core area marked by a light trace.
At this mont, the scene in the Moon Well area was different from before.
The most solid tree forts had been completely breached, with the bodies of the last few resistors lying at the entrance, being dragged away by slave creatures.
Around the wellhead, all the glyphs originally carved by the Night Elf had been completely erased or covered.
Vika and two other deep aura Level 2 Wizards were standing by the wellhead, with several exquisite alchemy instrunts and detection crystals, glowing in various colors, floating in front of them.
The well water shimred with a pearl-like glow, which seed dimr and more restless than usual, as if it had lost so kind of anchor, its energy becoming unstable.
Vika’s expression was grave, holding a crystal panel with continuously changing data, quickly exchanging words with a Wizard in an engineering departnt uniform, who was operating a complex multi-ard machine.
The tips of several arms on that multi-ard machine, each connected to probes and energy conduits of different shapes, were slowly and steadily extending toward the lower part of the wellhead.
"Comnce energy network mapping, initiate Level 1 stabilization protocol," Vika ordered.
The probes emitted soft hums, their tips lighting up with subtle glows.
The surface of the well water exhibited regular waves as if combed by an invisible comb, with the detection crystal imdiately displaying a complex, ever-changing three-dinsional energy network map.
