Chapter 474 Approaching
Tanya's residence.

Only one month after the last time her family urged her, she was visited by her mother again. Through the gloomy face of the shadow in front of her, Tanya could see the suppressed anger in Mrs. Vicky's heart.

"Tanya, you are still in the Empty Valley, not even a step away, right or wrong?"

"Yes, I have something important to take care of here."

The first thing he said was a question, and Tanya had expected it, so she replied calmly.

"Very important? What could be more important than the marriage your family has arranged for you? If you continue to act like this, you will only bring shame to your family. This is how you repay the Fitzrod family for their cultivation of you. You—
Listen! Don't cause any more trouble, come back quickly, everything will be fine if you come back now, do you understand?"

When Mrs. Vicky heard that she was still making excuses, she could no longer suppress her anger and started to scold her loudly.

After a while, Mrs. Vicky vented her overflowing anger, then she slowed down her tone and emphasized her words earnestly.

"I have something important to do and I can't leave for the time being." Tanya didn't buy it at all.

"You--don't forget that you are no longer the same person you were before! You are so stubborn, do you want to make the family a laughing stock again?"

Seeing that she was so stubborn, Mrs. Vicky's anger, which had eased a little, rose again, and her words became even more unpleasant.

These words hit Tanya's sore spot, making her feel as if a huge rock was pressing on her chest, and she became silent for a moment.

"How dare you! Who's eavesdropping there?"

Suddenly, Mrs. Vicky noticed some unusual movement and shouted loudly in the direction of the door.

"Mother, you're worrying too much. There's no one else here, just you and me." Tanya spoke quickly, without a trace of panic in her words.

"Tanya, you are becoming more and more rude." Mrs. Vicky's eyes were cold and she didn't believe it at all.

"Is this the first day you've known me? I remember I've always been like this." Tanya simply stopped pretending and remained unyielding.

"Okay, very good. I hope you can keep it like this." Mrs. Vicky was so angry that her body trembled slightly, and her shadow suddenly disappeared.

The contact between the two people was broken, and the communication obviously ended on a bad note.

There was a slight noise at the door and Mara walked in with an apologetic look on her face.

"No need to say more. She didn't intend to make things easy for me this time. It has nothing to do with your behavior. Besides, you are speaking up for me. What she said was really too much. I really want to go up and beat her up."

Tanya did not blame her, but went forward and took her hand to comfort her.

Mara was touched, but she couldn't stop worrying.

It can be predicted that in the coming days, the pressure from the Fitzgerald family will become more and more intense, and the next person to contact will definitely not be Mrs. Vicky.

Not only the Fitzgeralds, but even the Gardiners might take action.

As for Kongliu Valley, the first phase of research will still take several days, not to mention the subsequent in-depth exploration which will be hundreds or thousands of times more complicated. If this continues, the situation will become increasingly unfavorable for them.

"Tanya, how about-"

"Just tell me, there is nothing unspeakable between us."

"Why don't you go directly to Lord Gallif. He thought so highly of you in the past. If he finds out about your current situation, he will definitely not ignore you."

"Silly, you said it before, but it's different now."

"Sorry sorry."

"There's no need to apologize between us. Maybe you can be more sincere."

“——”

Tanya told no one what was happening at her place.

Tanya has her own pride. Ivan and others have done enough for her and have considered her carefully enough, so she is unwilling to put more pressure on them.

As for the King of the Sky, no matter what this Wind Ancestor thought, she didn't have the face to go up to him and ask for help.

This is what she insists on in her heart. There are not many of them left, and she can't give them up completely.

A few days later, Tanya was once again approached by her family, this time by an elder with whom she had a close relationship. The elder did not come to cause trouble, but to inform her that the Fitzrad family had sent someone over.

And the Gardner family is discussing who to send over, using the excuse that there has been no news from Mara Gardner for a long time.

Tanya knew that it was not that Mara had no news, but that most of the news she sent back was evasive and had no practical value. If she said too much, it would indeed arouse suspicion.

After thinking about it, Tanya quietly told Hotes about the matter without disturbing Ivan who was busy.

……

Time flies, and the research on the scroll of returning to the city has been going on for more than twenty days.

With Ivan and his team working day and night, the basic simplified version of the first phase of the project has finally taken shape and is currently undergoing the final stages of testing and adjustments.

"Locke, my dear brother--"

"Morris, can you please speak properly? The way you speak gives people chills, you know that?"

"Ahem, do you think it will be your turn this time?" "Possibly."

"I really want to see your demeanor when you make your debut. You will surely be the center of attention. Everyone will place their hopes on you, and everyone will celebrate for you. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil."

"How about you go ahead? I think you're just gloating."

"Nonsense, you are my brother--"

On one side of the field, Locke and Morris huddled together, whispering something.

It’s strange to say, but these two people have only known each other for a few days, but they have become very familiar with each other and often call each other brothers.

In fact, this is not surprising. Locke and Morris are both noisy and like to make some noise. With Ivan's relationship, the two can be said to be "birds of a feather flock together" and often hide in a corner together.

As the two witnessed, the research had reached a critical moment, requiring repeated testing and adjustments based on the test results.

So far, Ivan's own men, the Ant Guards and the Shadow Blood Guards have been sent out, and this has happened more than once.

There were also many creatures participating in the testing under the seats of other wizards.

Big tower and small tower.

Mingji Tower, Darkji Tower.

Wait, this huge facility composed of many special devices has undergone many adjustments, and the overall structure has become more stable and complete, and the wizards are becoming more and more looking forward to it.

"Locke." Ivan waved his hand.

"Boss, it's my turn." Locke flashed to his side, looking eager to fight.

"You know the procedure, right?"

"I know, I know. I've watched it so many times, I must know."

"Then come on."

Ivan didn't explain much and just handed over a strange token. Just as he said, the whole test process was not complicated and it would become clear after watching it once or twice.

Locke took it easily.

This is a token with a strange shape. A crystal ball is roughly inserted into a palm-sized metal plate. The position seems to be chosen randomly, and the surrounding metal plates are distributed extremely unevenly.

Whether it is the token or the crystal ball, dense rune lines are engraved inside and out, which appear messy at first glance.

This thing looks very unaesthetic, but it has a great function. It is equivalent to pulling the light order in the lighthouse and the scroll in the return scroll. It took Ivan and his team a lot of thought.

"Everyone, please be alert and observe carefully."

"Don't worry, great scholars. Our eyes are wide open and our spirits are high."

After spending some time together, everyone, whether they were familiar with Ivan or not, was now convinced of him.

The breadth and depth of this great scholar's knowledge of space is truly astonishing, and he is worthy of being a great scholar who can initiate the research project of "City Return Scroll".

As he spoke, Locke, holding the strange token, walked a few steps to the outside of the entire facility. He was exactly one thousand meters away from the large tower in the middle, and only four hundred meters away from a small tower in the open.

From a distance, he gestured towards where the large tower was.

This larger tower is actually not that high, less than five meters in height. It is inconspicuous inside the exploration area, but it is the greatest effort of the group these days, and I don't know how many brain cells the wizards have burned.

Inside the big tower, three wizards were guarding there, ready for battle.

"Click!"

Locke activated the strange token in his hand, and the token suddenly burst out with tremendous power. A force burst out from it, fell around his body, and quickly condensed into a round ~ rolling protective layer.

The protective layer tightly protected him inside, leaving no gaps on any side.

At the same time, the nearest small tower produced some kind of induction, and a special signal was formed, which was quickly transmitted to the large tower along the other nearby small towers.

Inside the tower, a wizard found the right time and position and activated a corresponding space network node on the tower.

Even more powerful force burst out from the large tower and spread out along the space network. Then, it condensed into a long and narrow space channel, which ran across the air along the towers.

On the other side, Locke was pulled and tugged by some force, pulling him and his protective layer into the space channel, and his entire body was hidden in it.

In just a blink of an eye, Locke appeared from the other side, from the large tower in the middle, and fell down.

"Transmission successful!"

Locke couldn't wait to shout loudly, causing the wizards around him to applaud.

Ivan was also clapping. He wasn't particularly happy, but he just wanted to avoid spoiling the fun.

At the moment, this thing obviously needs to be 'dialed', and both sides need to seize the opportunity and cooperate, which is not very clever.

When he personally goes through it and passes the test, the first stage can be basically declared a success. He will then make further improvements and deepening, and gradually eliminate these inconveniences.
