Chapter 502: Chapter 261: Six Ears 2
Her tone turned more cautious:
"The exact location is classified information, I’m afraid I cannot disclose it. If you wish to contact them, you can submit an application through official channels within the Tower, and after review, they will arrange a communication opportunity for you."
Ron slightly furrowed his brow, tapping his fingertips gently on the tabletop.
This information was unexpected to him; he initially thought Trish would stay in the Crystal Tower to utilize its abundant resources to accelerate her ascent.
"Abyssal Outpost..." Ron softly repeated, his gaze sharply focusing on lanie’s facial expression like a probe:
"Is it related to the recently established Abyssal Observation Station?"
This question clearly touched on a sensitive point.
lanie’s expression montarily stiffened; although she quickly regained her smile, that fleeting rigidity was keenly captured by Ron.
"The Abyssal Observation Station is a relatively independent institution."
Her reply beca more restrained and cautious, her pace slightly slowed:
"Although under the jurisdiction of the Crystal Tower, it has its own recruitnt and managent system. If you’re interested, you can inquire at the New Star Reception, where they’ll provide you with relevant information."
Her gaze subtly flickered: "Abyss-related research has always been one of the focal areas of the Crystal Tower, and we welco skilled Wizards to join."
Ron nodded slightly, deciding not to pursue this topic, which was clearly categorized as sensitive, any further.
Information gathering is a progressive process, and abruptly breaching the defenses would only heighten their vigilance.
"Thank you for the clarification." He calmly ended the conversation:
"So where exactly is the New Star Reception? I want to submit an application as soon as possible."
"It’s located in the third tower to the west of the Central Tower, within the star-gazing building nad ’Dusk Skyline’."
lanie seed to breathe a sigh of relief, and her tone returned to fluency:
"It’s about a twenty-minute flight from Cuiyu Villa. The receptionists there are at your service around the clock; would you like
to arrange it for you?"
Ron politely declined her offer, stating that he preferred to personally understand the city’s layout.
For a newly arrived Wizard in the Central Lands, familiarizing oneself with the environnt is the utmost priority, and there’s nothing better than walking to deeply feel the pulse of a city.
After ending the communication with lanie, Ron pondered for a mont and decided to imdiately contact Eliot.
If soone could provide a more authentic account of the Crystal Tower’s interior, this local native was undoubtedly the best candidate.
He took out a badge from the Spatial Bag, which Eliot had given him after the Bloodline Altar as a ans of contact.
He pressed the badge onto his Communication Crystal, engraving Eliot’s exclusive communication mark, then the badge slowly dissipated on its own.
Ron infused it with Magic Power, and the crystal imdiately emitted a buzzing sound, like so sort of confirmation signal.
A few seconds later, a projection ford by the crystal displayed Eliot’s handso visage.
Compared to the ti at the Bloodline Altar, although less than a year had passed, he now looked undoubtedly more mature and composed.
The golden curls in front of his forehead were ticulously grood, with only those unusually large ears remaining unchanged.
The most noticeable change is the badge on his chest—not the Apprentice’s mark anymore, but a Star Ring symbolizing a Morning Star Level Wizard, proving he had completed his ascent.
"Ron!"
Eliot’s voice was full of surprise, but quickly transitioned into an odd kind of understanding, as if he had long anticipated this contact:
"Have you already reached the Central Lands? When did you arrive?"
"Yesterday."
Ron briefly responded, revealing no extra emotion:
"There are so matters I wish to discuss in person, would that be convenient?"
A glimr of thought crossed Eliot’s blue eyes, then he swiftly made a decision:
"Of course, very convenient. Give
half an hour, I will personally visit you at Cuiyu Villa."
He paused slightly and added, "I’m very familiar with that place, having accompanied my family elders there several tis to visit... certain guests."
Ron nodded: "Thank you, I’ll wait for you."
"Let’s talk in detail when we et." Eliot smiled faintly, revealing a set of neat white teeth:
"By the way... It seems so of the rumors I heard are true, you did indeed walk that legendary path."
After the communication ended, Ron thoughtfully placed the crystal back into the Spatial Bag.
Eliot’s final comnt carried intriguing implications—evidently, the news of his advancent via the Path of Truth had already spread within certain circles of the Crystal Tower.
This was both expected and worthy of caution.
In the Wizard’s world, information is currency, and an overly conspicuous trait is often a double-edged sword.
"Master, would you like
to prepare anything for the visitor?"
Ailan’s voice ca from behind, her green figure silently appearing at the door, holding a pot of fragrant hot tea.
Ron gently shook his head:
"Simple refreshnts will suffice, no need for lavishness. I’m only preliminarily acquainted with Eliot, so it’s not yet a relationship that warrants special hospitality."
Ailan nodded gracefully, her vines gently swaying:
"I’ll prepare so middle-tier snacks, courteous yet not overly eager."
Ron nodded in agreent, then began checking the Protective Array and privacy barriers within the villa.
Caution is never a mistake, especially in a place where information equates to power.
On the second floor of the villa, a small figure peeked out from the Crystal Vat.
