Chapter 537

Although compromise was unpleasant, it was necessary in many cases.

In particular, the world of mages was not the kind of plane where power reigned supreme. All mages together formed a society with order and division of labor. Even if an individual's power reached the level of a true soul, they did not have the right to do as they pleased in such a society. They were a part of the society, or perhaps the most important part, but they were definitely not the entire society.

Croft nodded with gratification. "My attitude and that of the other true souls is the same as yours. This matter is not suitable to be publicized, and it is even more unsuitable to uproot them with great fanfare. Once it is publicized, it will be tantamount to the signal of a final break. However, the current world of mages is still unable to bear such consequences, and there is no need to be so ruthless. "

Adam said, "I completely understand your and your Majesties' concerns. I understand and support all your decisions. Besides, I did not contribute much in the process. Anyone could have done the same thing."

Croft said, "Merit is merit. No matter what our decision is, it cannot be erased. This time, although the Holy Tower has decided to deal with it secretly, the financial groups and Hyperdimensional mages involved will have to pay a painful price. For us, this is profit. According to preliminary statistics, the total amount of profit is roughly equivalent to thirty percent of the total profit gained from the war in the disaster zone. Of this, the council has decided to give you twenty percent as a reward. "

Adam was stunned. This reward was already very generous.

The disaster zone was discovered by Nehem, and the reward for the exploration belonged to him alone. However, as one of the highest ranking commanders, Adam enjoyed a hundred percent of the total profit from the disaster zone, which was not included in his gains from the independent battle. In addition to the reward for this operation, it could be said that Adam had once again become rich overnight.

The profit he gained was almost equal to the total profit he had gained from all his previous industrial knowledge over the years.

Adam did not decline and happily accepted these resources. Just as Croft said, merit would not be erased, otherwise it would be challenging the most basic order of the world of mages.

Moreover, with this money, the world collision experiment and the personal research institute that Adam was going to establish would have enough funds to start up.

Croft continued, "Naeem has officially elected you as the person in charge of the Ministry of Supervision. From now on, the Ministry of Supervision will be jointly managed by you, Wendy, and Avril. Among them, you will take the leading position. The Council and we hope that you can use the shortest time and the most inconspicuous method to monitor the entire World of Mages, as well as the free Hyperdimensional external world obtained from this intelligence."

After pacifying the cataclysm and subjugating the immortal civilization, the mages had obtained much precious and important information about the Third Era. Hence, the Void Being that had always been shrouded in layers of mystery, and the slightest bare of its fangs would no longer be so mysterious, and could even be defeated.

The policy of isolation remained unchanged, but the mages had now begun to research ways to eliminate the Void Being, and it was believed that there would be breakthroughs in the next million years.

This time span was a little long, but it was nothing to long-lived species. During this time, the Holy Tower would gradually begin to deal with internal affairs, and the importance of the Ministry of Supervision would continue to increase. This department and the exploration robots would be the Holy Tower's most powerful weapon against the Free Faction.

The 'ascension' of Dao Yuan and Taichu made the mages realize that transcendence was more difficult than they had imagined, and that the preparations they had made before were far from enough. The conflict between Dao Yuan and Taichu before they transcended also rang the alarm bells for the mages. Internal issues must be resolved first, or else at a critical moment, a blow from behind would be far more dangerous than the predicament they were facing.

To resist external aggression, they had to settle internal affairs first. Although it was not very appropriate or honorable, it was necessary.

After the Holy Tower's powerful attack, the situation in the Academy Continent stabilized in a short period of time. Classes in the Academy returned to normal, and the order restricting mages' entry and exit was lifted at the same time. The upper and lower houses were in full swing, and it was at this time that Adam received good news from the Immortal Wanxiang.

"The trial of the new magical rune is a success."

The new factory had been expanded a hundred times on Adam's original site, and now all the researchers were gathered in the deepest part of the research facility. The Immortal Wanxiang was actually wearing a special set of work clothes just like the other workers, and did not look like a level nine immortal at all.

However, her mental state was unprecedentedly good, and she seemed to be full of vitality. "The new runes are divided into three types: physical, energy, and support. There are detailed branches under each type. They can use cheap energy stones as a source of energy, and a standard unit of energy stone can support the daily operation of the rune for a day. I have to say, the mage's use of energy is amazing. Every strand of energy is transported to the most logical place, and consumed in the most logical way. Amazing, really amazing. "

"The runes are mainly forged using the refining method of magic treasures, and the various functions are constantly enhanced. After the mage's and my research, the runes have achieved a relatively perfect fit with the energy circuit, and no longer require the user's own energy. However, the requirements for the user's physical fitness are higher. If an ordinary person uses the runes rashly, they will not be able to withstand the excessive kinetic energy, and will collapse and be torn apart."

"The core that acts as the rune is a piece of upgraded core that I named the Psionic Chip."

"Combined with the mage's contract method and the immortal's method of recognizing a master, every rune needs to go through a set of identity verification procedures before it can be used normally."

"The combination of a wizard's spatial technology and the immortal's Art of Mutual Space allows one to store a relatively large rune in a random storage space. The external appearance is that of an activator the size of a button. After pressing it, the rune will automatically replenish its energy and activate itself in the storage space within five seconds, and will automatically equip itself …"

Wanxiang seemed to have transformed into a real researcher, showing Adam the finished product and speaking with fervor and assurance. Adam did not know why Wanxiang had undergone such a huge psychological change in just a few short years, but it was undoubtedly a good thing. It meant that Wanxiang had truly acknowledged the mage's world.

Adam generously gave Wanxiang the right to name the new magical rune, and then said to her, "After production, you will soon have a large amount of resources to build an Otherworldly Tower. There is also good news. The semi-permanent upload technology of immortals in the virtual world is basically mature. We have specially configured a non-destructive resurrection function for immortals, so that you can carry out dangerous road reconstruction experiments."

Wanxiang nodded to express her gratitude to Adam, and then said, "I also have something to tell you. A while ago, a Celestial Mage called Gabriel secretly found me."
