Chapter 486 Grace

Empty valley.

Martial law is aimed at the outside world, and it has no effect on the people in the exploration area. They continue to do what they are supposed to do.

As time went by, the area where the city return tower was located became larger and larger, and even the outer protective layer was specially changed.

"Ivan, do you still mean what you said before?"

Just as Ivan finished what he was doing, Hotes came over and spoke stealthily, blocking out any sound from being heard.

"What? Story?" Ivan pretended to be dumb.

"What story? I don't know what you are talking about. I'm talking about the wine and the contact letters. Didn't you say that you wanted Coram to go to the underground Comore Empire?" said Hotes.

"I don't know what wine you are talking about. Anyway, I don't have any here. Why don't you let Coram go to Dongdu?" Ivan glanced at him.

"No way, you are a great scholar, how can you go back on your words?"

"Did I tell you? You've been acting a little strange lately. Why do you always stay here? Are you trying to find an excuse to avoid someone?"

"What a joke! I am a dignified arcane wizard, Hotes. I can go anywhere in the wizarding world. Why do I need to hide from anyone? Forget it. There are some minor problems at the Star Gate. I have to go over and take a look."

Seeing him looking at him suspiciously, Hotes pretended to be calm and made up an excuse to slip away.

That speed was enough to make a third-level wizard feel overwhelmed.

Ivan was even more surprised by Hotes's performance.

If it was just something between a man and a woman, both of them were arcane-level beings with equal strength and status, they shouldn't have behaved so shyly.

This in the end is why?

How can such a free and easy person be forced into this state?

Ivan thought he was quite smart, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out why Hotes was like this.

"No wonder people often say that the longer you live, the more strange things you see."

"Great scholar, what's so strange?"

Nelson walked over and just heard him mumbling, so he couldn't help but ask.

"I discovered that 10,000 meters is not the limit of the current tower." Ivan answered the question irrelevantly and changed the subject abruptly.

"Uh - you're right, the tower does have a lot of spare capacity. I was just about to ask if you would like to move it further out so that we can better measure the data in various aspects?"

Nelson choked and had to continue talking.

"Test the current data first, then move outward until the maximum distance. We value efficiency the most. Do you understand?" Ivan warned.

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

Nelson understood and immediately turned around to get back to work, since the great scholar was the leader.

Time flies.

The fifth stage of the return tower was successfully completed, which took a year and several days. The final transmission distance exceeded the planned target by a large margin, reaching 11800 meters.

When Ivan announced the completion of this phase, there was thunderous applause in the independent area.

All the wizards were applauding, applauding themselves and for their hard work during this period.

Regarding the goal for the next stage, Ivan did not announce it on the spot. He has not made a decision yet. Whether to choose 20,000 meters or 30,000 meters, he needs to discuss it with others.

"Ivan, you are too low-key. You are not releasing any information to the public, not even to President Doradoli."

Hotes was also present that day. He was undoubtedly in a good mood. The only thing that worried him was that the news was only known to them, and it was not exciting enough.

"Let's talk about it next time."

In front of other people, Ivan of course had to give Hotes some face, otherwise he would definitely reply, not all arcane wizards are as idle as you, Hotes.

"Oh, you haven't told me yet, how many meters will it be next time, 15,000 meters, or two--"

Hotes thought of something and asked curiously. Halfway through his words, he turned to look to the side because someone had barged in blatantly.

Seeing the tall figure walking in, Hotes's expression immediately became a little unnatural.

"Grace, why are you here?" The speaker was Tanya who was standing nearby, and Tanya took a few steps forward.

"I have applied to President Doradoli, and he has allowed me to come here. I came here specially to take a look and meet the great scholar Marichaton."

Grace explained, her tone serious and formal.

"Did I come at the wrong time?"

"No, the speech is over, isn't it, great scholar?"

"Yes, just like Tanya said, it just ended. Your Excellency Grace, welcome to the research site of the Tower of Return."

Seeing their eyes on him, Ivan waved to the others, indicating that they could talk about the facts later, and revealed the identity of the visitor in his words.

Grace is a powerful person at the arcane level, so naturally others would not have any objection.

"Scholar Marichaton, nice to meet you." Ivan was about to walk over, but Grace flashed over first and forced a kind smile on her face.

It was obvious that she was not a woman who laughed often. This smile gave Ivan a very forced feeling and made him look a little silly. On the contrary, when she was serious before, she gave people a shrewd and capable impression.

"You're so polite. I'm glad to meet you too." Ivan replied without hesitation.

"The great scholar of Marichaton."

"You say."

“Thank you for providing a piece of hope to Tanya.”

"Oh, you—"

Seeing her hesitant look, Ivan thought she was going to ask him something, but Grace suddenly bowed to him, and Ivan was so scared that he quickly stepped away.

Tanya says Grace is her escort.

If someone really regards an arcane-level warrior as a bodyguard, that person must be stupid. Ivan couldn't do it anyway, and he didn't want to give others any reason to say that he lacked the proper respect for the strong.

"Anyway, I have to thank you." Grace looked calm and didn't think anything was wrong.

"Lady Grace, Wizard Tanya, this is not the place to talk. Do you need to find a place to chat more?" Ivan asked, worried that she would do something surprising again.

"Please." Seeing Grace nodding at her, Tanya had to act as the host.

"Your Excellency Hotes, let's go together."

As they walked out of the independent area, Ivan shouted to a certain arcane wizard who was standing there pretending to be an 'invisible man'.

Seeing that his invisibility plan had failed, Hotes stared at him with eyes wide open, disbelief written all over his eyes, as if he had been betrayed.

"Hortes, come here too, we have something to discuss." Grace said.

"Okay, all right." Hotes replied helplessly, walking behind with a stern face.

Soon, the four of them arrived at Tanya's residence. Mara didn't come this time, as she and Tanya didn't want to expose their true relationship in front of Grace.

After walking along the way, Ivan almost regained his composure.

He realized that, just as Tanya herself said, this Grace and Tanya had a very good relationship, which could be seen from the fact that Grace had humbled herself to express her gratitude.

"I have convinced Grace, and she is on our side now." Tanya announced directly after they sat down.

"That's great, haha." Hotes exclaimed with an awkward smile.

"In other words, we just need to follow the previous plan and don't have to do anything else, right?" Ivan went straight to the core issue.

"That's right. Geli will stay here in the near future. With her joining, Kongliu Valley will be more stable." Tanya nodded.

What? This woman wants to stay!

Hearing this, Hotes was at a loss.

"That's great. The tower has been researched to have a transmission distance of 10,000 meters. According to my estimate, it will take about three to five years for the entire project to be completed." Ivan continued.

"Well, this amount of time is nothing. I will try to practice the way of the knight to the highest level during this period."

A rather strange scene took place in Tanya's reception room. Two third-level wizards were chatting with each other, while two great lords were silent and listening attentively.

"Your Excellency, since we are all on the same airship, you can speak directly if you have anything to say."

It wasn't the first day Ivan and Tanya met, so there was no need for them to just chat like this. Seeing that the other two had no intention of interrupting him, he simply laid out the topic.

"Mr. Marichat, where is your Book of Enlightenment?" Grace asked as if she had received an order.

"Your Excellency Grace, you can call me 'Iven' or 'Wizard Iven'." Iven did not doubt him and took out the token of the Five-Leaf Spear - the Book of Enlightenment.

"You can also just call me 'Grace'."

"I try my best."

As he looked in astonishment, Grace took out a more exquisite Book of Enlightenment, and a huge amount of power was transmitted from the Book of Enlightenment and fell onto the Book of Enlightenment in his hand.

This is the power of the prophet.

In the blink of an eye, four more prophet marks appeared on the Book of Enlightenment in his hand, and there was only one prophet mark left on the page.

"Five copies is the carrying limit of your Book of Enlightenment." After doing all this, Grace explained with some regret.

"Thank you, I was just complaining that it's not enough. But this won't break the rules of the Five Leaf Spear, right?" Ivan's eyes lit up, and then he glanced at the two people next to him.

"As long as the inheritance of the Star of Justice is valid, after you become an arcane wizard, the Prophet's Book of the Five-Leaf Spear will be handed over to you to manage." Grace said.

"No problem. I don't want to get involved in the Five Leaf Spear business anymore." Seeing him looking at her, Tanya said indifferently.

After hearing their words, Hotes seemed to want to say something but stopped. In the end, he just sighed and said nothing.

"We'll talk about the future later. I'm still a long way from becoming a level 4 wizard." Ivan didn't dwell on these things. Arcane magic and level 3 wizards are almost two different worlds. There's no point in talking about such things.

"Until Tanya's problem is resolved, there must be no problems between you and her." Grace took out a bunch of things from her space ring and gave them all to Ivan.

Ivan's eyes almost popped out of his head. He didn't know whether to accept it or not.

They are all arcane scrolls!
