Chapter 67: Chapter 67: The New Space Ring and Arrangements
"Well, I’ll give you this Space Ring as well."
Yasen said, raising his hand to take out a Space Ring that shone with a silver light and handed it to Lor, "The space of this ring is decent, take it, lest little Levan calls me stingy."
"Thank you, Speaker Yasen."
Lor’s eyes lit up as he quickly accepted the Space Ring and glanced inside. It turned out to have a massive space, 1000 meters long, wide, and high.
The disparity between this ring and the one on his hand was indescribable.
Without hesitation, Lor immediately took off the Space Ring on his hand, emptied it of the Magic Crystals and Divine Power Crystals, and transferred them into the new ring.
"There are conditions, though. You can’t sell the ring." Yasen said with a smile.
If he didn’t set conditions, then if this little guy sold the ring, there would be no need for him to go on a mission.
"Understood." Lor replied earnestly.
He understood this man’s intentions very well and agreed readily.
Although he couldn’t sell the large Space Ring, he could sell the smaller one.
Two hundred thousand contribution points were not a small amount for Lor now.
"Alright, that’s it then." Yasen laughed, "Someone will deliver the Marking Demon Artifact in a little while. Once you have it, you can leave with them."
After saying that, he comforted little Levan with a few words and then walked straight into the sea of flames, disappearing without a trace.
He had given all the benefits he could offer, and the rest was up to Lor himself.
He also had no intention of leaving Levan behind; following Lor on his adventures was better than staying in the Wizard Tower.
Watching Yasen leave, Lor then turned to Agular and said, "Mentor, why don’t you go settle down on the Betula Continent first?"
He needed to mark the Sea Beast quickly, as the original plan had been disrupted.
And Speaker Yasen didn’t allow Agular to follow him, so he could only let his mentor settle down on the Betula Continent first.
When he finished earning his contribution points and went over, it would be more convenient.
By now, Agular could choose to return, but he spoke first, mainly to stop Agular from doing so.
They had come this far, and he had to get Agular out of the fire pit!
"Alright." Agular nodded, "But which Wizard Tower do you plan to temporarily stay at? Cooper Wizard Tower?"
Cooper Wizard Tower was a Fourth Ring Wood and Fire Element Wizard Tower near the Betula Volcano Group.
Lor’s target was the volcano group, which seemed the most suitable.
"Yes, I’ll temporarily stay there first." Lor nodded, "Later, Levan and I will go to Yasen Wizard Tower to buy a spaceship for you to use to cross the sea."
The term "temporarily stay" was actually very uncommon in this era.
Because apart from wizards traveling across continents, no one would temporarily stay at another Wizard Tower.
As a temporarily staying wizard, as long as you already had the qualification to obtain a third-class laboratory, you could get a third-class laboratory as a temporary residence.
As for anything higher, it was impossible unless you changed your mind and decided to truly join the temporary Wizard Tower.
In truth, Lor wanted to temporarily stay at the Warren Wizard Tower, the only Five-Ring Wizard Tower on the Betula Continent, as it would be safer there, but unfortunately, there was no reason.
"Alright." Agular responded, then cautioned, "You’ve gained Speaker Yasen’s attention, so don’t slack off."
As an old man who barely broke through at the end of his life, he understood very well what Speaker Yasen’s attention meant for Lor.
His biggest worry now was that Lor might slack off and incur Speaker Yasen’s displeasure.
"Don’t worry, mentor." Lor laughed, "I certainly won’t let down Speaker Yasen’s expectations."
He’s joking; he wished he could use every second as if it were two. How could he slack off?
In six more years, the entire Wizard World would be in chaos!
"Whoosh—"
Just then, a red spaceship about fifty meters long, over twenty meters high, with three layers, flew rapidly from outside the desert. By its speed, it was at least a third-tier spaceship.
Lor spotted it and his eyes lit up, calling out to Levan, who was still chatting with the Red Dragon not far away:
"Levan, could you help me negotiate with the wizard piloting that spaceship to trade the Space Ring for the spaceship, making up the difference if needed?"
The Space Ring he took off was useless, so trading it for a third-tier spaceship was just right. It could still be sold on the Betula Continent.
He just didn’t know how much the spaceship was worth. If it exceeded two hundred thousand, it would be awkward.
He and Agular’s contribution points combined may not even reach three hundred thousand.
"Mentor, no need to buy it, just ’borrow’ it." Levan glanced at the spaceship and proudly patted his chest in assurance.
"This doesn’t seem right..." Lor hesitated.
Speaker Yasen just repeatedly reminded him not to ask for resources and to gain experience through practice.
And now Levan wanted to take a spaceship without paying, which would be akin to slapping Speaker Yasen in the face, wouldn’t it?
"Don’t worry, Lor, just don’t sell the spaceship." The Red Dragon beside him didn’t idle, immediately backing up Levan.
After witnessing Lor’s talent, it was troubled about how to show goodwill and make up for previous mistakes.
Now that an opportunity presented itself, it naturally wouldn’t let it pass.
"Alright then." Lor nodded helplessly, "I’ll trouble you both."
A Fourth Tier powerhouse like the Red Dragon had spoken; he really couldn’t argue further.
But it didn’t matter; after all, if Speaker Yasen did blame him, at least the Red Dragon would take the heat.
"Click—"
As the two humans and the dragon conversed, the spaceship landed.
A blond man dressed in a Fire Element Third Ring Wizard Robe opened the cabin door, flew out of the spaceship, landed beside the four humans and one dragon, and saluted the Red Dragon King and Levan:
"Greetings, Prince Levan, Lord Adams."
"Mm." The Red Dragon King had no interest in interacting with the wizard and only responded casually.
"Aiden, give me what you brought." Levan extended his hand, asking the middle-aged Fire Element Third Ring wizard for the ’item,’ a sly glimmer in his eyes.
"Yes, your Highness." Aiden nodded, taking out an egg-sized black ball from the Space Ring and handed it over.
The ball had some red markings on its surface, resembling a small Magic Array.
This item was the Marking Demon Artifact described in the mission.
"Alright, you can go back." Levan said as he accepted the ball.
"Yes." Aiden replied and was about to head towards the red spaceship when Levan called him back.
"Aiden, where are you going?" Levan loudly asked, "Did I not just say to give me what you brought?"
"Huh?" Aiden’s figure stopped mid-air, somewhat dazed, and he turned to look at Levan.
Hadn’t Lord Yasen said he only needed to deliver the Marking Demon Artifact?
Why the spaceship too?
"What are you waiting for?" The Red Dragon chimed in impatiently, "Just go back if you’re told to."
"As you command." Aiden replied helplessly and flew directly out of the desert.
If only Prince Levan wanted the spaceship, he might think of asking Speaker Yasen.
But with the Red Dragon King also speaking, there wasn’t much left to say.
However, it was not a big issue; he just had to report back to the tower, and the Resource Management Department would certainly issue him a new one.
Trading old for new, he wasn’t at a loss; in fact, he profited.
