Chapter 478 Preemptive Strike

Chapter 478 Preemptive Strike
In the past, the Space School had conducted countless attempts at teleportation facilities, including teleportation twin towers, teleportation gates, teleportation spires, teleportation arrays, etc., but all of them had defects or shortcomings.

The longest distance is six kilometers.

However, no matter which type of teleportation innovation, it lacks the necessary stability and has caused the death of enchanters of the space school.

Even wizards who have mastered the knowledge of space cannot avoid the danger of death, let alone other people. Under the influence of the power of space, cutting, crushing, exile, etc. are all possible. If you are not careful, you may die after being teleported once.

Therefore, all these initiatives were not universal and were shelved one by one.

"Six thousand meters. I've got that down."

"I'm not saying this to put pressure on you. Take your time. This is not a problem that needs to be solved in a few months or years. For us wizards, time has never been a big problem."

When Ivan said that the subsequent research would be entrusted to the arcane wizards, Doradoli was pleased to see that he had such a broad mind and couldn't help but say a few more words. He also talked about the problems he and others encountered when exploring the teleportation array.

The biggest problem is the stability of the transmission.

Once the distance exceeds six kilometers, except for the arcane wizard himself, everyone else may die due to the instability of the teleportation, making all kinds of teleportation facilities useless.

"I understand, but I may need to stay in the Empty Valley for a long time in the future," Ivan said.

"Why don't you just work in Kongliu Valley? I'll arrange everything else and I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Doradoli suggested immediately.

"Yes, with your ability, you can achieve greater things if you stay in Kongliu Valley. Returning to Dongdu of China Continent would be a waste of your talent. Why don't you just stay here?" Xiumo strongly agreed with this statement.

If President Hatti knew that these two would take the opportunity to poach his people as soon as he left, he might turn back without stopping.

Ivan was a little amused after hearing this. Given his current situation, it didn't matter whether he worked in Kongliu Valley or not, so why create trouble?

He used all his persuasion to dissuade Doradoli and the other man from their idea.

"You're right. It doesn't matter whether you work in Kongliu Valley or not. By the way, do you need to change your residence?"

"No, I live well in that tower."

Ivan also rejected the proposal to change residence.

The two-story round tower where he lives now may look inconspicuous on the surface, but it is actually quite good inside in every way. The area is also very spacious after space expansion, and is much better than the residences of Angus and others.

"Ivan, do you have a predetermined goal in mind? How many meters do you want to stretch it to? If it's shorter, you won't live up to your reputation as a scholar from Dongdu. Then you can switch to a scholar from Kongliu Valley. We also have a quota here, and it's even more impressive, hahaha."

Hume asked a key question out of pure curiosity, and his tone was unusually relaxed.

"There is a bump every 1,000 meters, and a bigger bump every 5,000 meters."

Ivan understood what Lord Hume meant. He could answer this question or not, so he didn't rush to get to the point.

While he was thinking, he glanced at the team members who had already started working. Due to the isolation of the force field, those people could not hear the conversation here and were busy running around.

After a few seconds of pause, he slowly said:
"It is temporarily set at 20,000 meters, and we will strive to reach 30,000 meters. In short, we will try our best to extend the transmission distance as much as possible while maintaining stability, until we are unable to do so."

"If you have the ambition, don't worry about the venue. We will arrange it for you."

Xiumo's eyes lit up, and these words made him look at him with new eyes again.

Knowing the difficulty of extending the teleportation distance, he still dared to say such words. He was really an extraordinary person doing extraordinary things. It was a pity that he failed to actually pull people to Kongliu Valley.

"Also, there is one thing I must inform you of in advance."

Ivan thought of another thing and weighed it silently in his mind for a long time, and now he was ready to say it out loud.

"Just say it."

"Once the research goal is achieved, I will find a way to ask for credit from the Lord of the Sky. I hope you can allow it."

Hearing what he said, Doradoli and Humo were stunned for a moment, with a hint of surprise in their eyes. Only Hotes at the side understood.

"Why? I don't remember you being someone who likes to take credit for something."

"Your Majesty has a keen eye. There is indeed another hidden story here, and it is related to Tanya——"

Ivan took the opportunity to tell Tanya about her predicament. Now that the Fitzroyds and Gardners had arrived, it looked like the situation would not be resolved amicably.

He might as well take the opportunity to strike first and see if he could get more help from Kongliu Valley. If he failed, there would be no loss.

In fact, Hotes did not hide the secret from him and told him the news that someone would be sent from there not long ago.

The reason why he performed this play today and acted so high-profile was more to deal with the pressure brought by Fitzgerald and Gardner, hoping to delay more time.

"Haha, that's it."

Doradoli and Mo Xiu looked at each other, and the former said loudly: "As long as she is in Kongliu Valley and in your research team, no one can take her away. This is what I, Doradoli, said."

"That's true, with one exception," Hume added.

"What?" Ivan asked subconsciously.

"The King of the Sky has arrived in person."

After a few seconds' pause, Xiumo suddenly laughed, his words were sonorous and powerful.

"Ivan would like to thank you two gentlemen for your protection on behalf of Tanya." Ivan heard that his last words were a joke on him, but he didn't get angry and quickly expressed his gratitude.

The Empty Valley could be said to be the territory of Doradoli and Humo. With the guarantee made by the two of them, even the Fitzroyds and Gardners would not be able to take people away by force. Of course, this was only temporary and could only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

Ever since Ivan told him about Tanya's situation, both of them had been looking at him meaningfully.

Nothing was said, yet it seemed as if everything had been said.

Ivan knew that this kind of thing was probably hard to explain, so he simply didn't bother to explain that he and Tanya weren't in the relationship that the other two thought.

Shortly afterwards, Doradoli and Humo left the city tower.

Watching the two people leave, Hotes couldn't wait to praise them.

"Ivan, good job, it turns out you had a plan in advance."

“Just go with the flow.”

"It's so smooth, it's wonderful, only you have this kind of face. Believe it or not, if I were to come forward, these two people would only be vague and would definitely not say what they just said."

Hotes is self-aware and clearly aware of his position. He can be considered the most shameless among the arcane wizards.

"That's a misunderstanding on their part," Ivan said with some toothache.

"Hehe, then you just have to bear with it. And that Belo Gardner, judging from his various changes in expression before, he probably has some misunderstandings about the relationship between you and Tanya." Hotes comforted jokingly.

"What's the misunderstanding?"

As they were talking, Tanya came closer.

Someone came to her house. Ti Wu had already secretly notified and warned her, so she came to discuss countermeasures with the two of them.

"Relationship, your relationship with Ivan, someone misunderstood."

Hotes thought of something and asked worriedly, "Tanya, tell me the truth, have you and your fiancé ever had any private contact?"

He knew Ivan's character and was a person who would rather be treated softly than harshly.

Once he finds out that Tanya is being too smart for her own good, she will most likely quit. If he doesn't cooperate or does the opposite, then he'll be in big trouble.

"He contacted me once, and I just said that I had someone I liked and hoped he wouldn't bother me. That was all. I never mentioned Ivan at all."

Tanya nodded and shook her head, without hiding anything, and revealed her conversation with Beiluo.

"Are you sure?" Hotes repeated.

"Of course, I have always been brave and responsible for my actions, and I disdain to use despicable tricks behind the scenes." Tanya's eyes were clear and her words were clear.

If it were someone else, it would indeed be possible to fool people with words.

Tanya has always been a straightforward person, or perhaps she has an unusual pride, and her words make people believe them.

"In that case, it's not Tanya's fault."

Hotes nodded and said to Ivan, "If you want to blame someone, blame your own reputation. No one else needs to say anything. The other party immediately identified you, Ivan."

"Don't worry, I won't give up halfway on what I promised." Ivan had no idea what he wanted to say, so he waved his hand casually.

"How can we not be at ease? We are not afraid that you will think too much."

"I have done what I should do. You can handle the affairs of those two teams on your own. I will not interfere."

"No problem, Tanya will take care of it. I'll take care of it if it doesn't work. Just go deeper into the tower, we are still waiting to see the Sky King."

Hearing him say this, Ivan didn't say anything more and turned to walk towards the center of the area.

The plan has only been executed in the first phase, there is still the second phase, the third phase - there are many things to do later. He has just made a big promise to the two masters, so he naturally cannot relax.

"he--"

Seeing this, Tanya opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Haha, Ivan doesn't blame you."

"Let me tell you, just now when I was talking to Doradoli and Humo, Ivan took the opportunity to tell them about you. Guess what happened? Haha, the two wizards agreed immediately. As long as you stay in the Empty Flow Valley, no one can take you away unless Fengzu comes in person."

"Haha, you don't have to worry about it now."

"Ivan is always reliable and has already considered everything for you."

"Let me tell you, for your sake, he even made a promise in front of the two wizards, saying that he would extend the teleportation distance of the return tower to the city to 30,000 meters. You may not know the concept of this distance. Currently-"

Hotes interrupted her directly, told her a great news, and told her all the irrelevant things at once.

After hearing these words, Tanya realized that so many things had just happened, and it immediately relieved her worries.

Looking at someone on the other side who was explaining something, her mood was inevitably complicated, and her eyes stayed there for a long time without moving away, intentionally or unintentionally.

Next to him, Hotes had a smile on his face again, and there seemed to be a hint of cunning in his smile.
