Above The Sky

Chapter 1631 - 306: Assignment: Arcane Pathway

"Of course, there’s actually another reason."

Thinking it over, Romani realized that the two people before him were Ian’s senior and close friend, so he straightforwardly told the truth: "The Silver Peak Earl is currently researching the practical application of artificial souls, possibly the Deceased Monarch, and demonic technology... We in the City of Knowledge have already grasped a bit of it."

"He’s been quite busy recently, and inviting him over specifically wasn’t necessary; it would even be detrimental to his work, so indeed, it was unnecessary."

Indeed.

Ian thought about it himself and found that the technology he showcased to the outside world wasn’t yet at the level where the City of Knowledge would specifically invite him, even if there was cooperation between the parties. In such a short time, no one would believe he could produce any results.

If an invitation were to be extended, it would probably be for the next one a few years later.

"What a pity."

However, Mahdi still regretted, "I think he would have been very happy to come."

"The emissary from Yanjiang will probably arrive tomorrow."

Romani smiled without responding to Mahdi’s words, instead looking towards the direction of the main city of the City of Knowledge: "The emissary from the Nine Cold Federation will likely arrive the day after tomorrow. The conference should start in three days. During this time, you both can take the opportunity to explore the City of Knowledge thoroughly."

After speaking, Romani intended to leave with Sika Leigh—this wasn’t his original task, he just thought of helping Yisen Gard, and happened to be present.

During the conversation with Mahdi, he noticed that this young knight bore some resemblance to his junior brother, both being the type whose real thoughts were hard to fathom, but in action, Mahdi was more straightforward.

If the Silver Peak Earl was more like an inscrutable mist, Mahdi’s every action and word was like a sword piercing the core.

(Wait)

But the Dragon Witch stopped her disciple: (Didn’t you notice? The power within this guy...)

Romani also realized at this moment that his mentor, who should have been very talkative and lively, had said nothing since just now—even though Yisen Gard hadn’t said a word either, but that’s normal because he was only at the Second Energy Level and should keep quiet.

Yet his mentor was a Fourth Energy Level True Dragon, and facing Mahdi, a Dragon Island emissary, at least he should exchange a few words?

With such doubts, Romani carefully observed the black-haired knight before him.

And then... he sensed it.

In the chest of the black-haired knight, there was a hidden yet alarming vitality, so well-concealed, and dormant, lurking in the deepest part... That vast power was like the prelude to a tsunami or earthquake, maintaining a silent atmosphere.

In the opponent’s left hand, there was also an immense power... This power was a bit weaker, yet it connected with the vast power to form an entire structure, quiet and silent.

Once it erupts, it would be shocking!

(Fifth Energy Level ’Top Seat’s Blood’?!

Recalling the inherited memories from the Melting Iron Spire, even with Romani’s mental state, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes, subconsciously feeling his hair stand on end: (Mahdi already possesses the Top Seat’s Blood?!)

(A bit weaker, with only one Fifth Energy Level organ, it’s not considered a Top Seat)

The Dragon Witch’s grave heart voice sounded: (But just one step away from the Top Seat—the organ in his left hand, containing a slight aura of Crystal Dragon or True Dragon, is extremely powerful as well, and ascending to the Fifth Energy Level isn’t difficult.)

(Little Romani... this one is not an ordinary Fourth Energy Level... not just a simple Fourth Energy Level True Dragon)

(As long as the opportunity comes, and the conditions are met, his advancement to the Fifth Energy Level will be a natural outcome!)

(In other words,) Pausing, Sika Leigh said in a deep tone: (He is a genuine Dragon King Reserve!)

At this moment.

Having noticed the unusual behavior of Romani and Sika Leigh, Mahdi turned his head; instead of directly pointing out that their observations already indicated considerable strength, he just smiled slightly.

Some things should be shown openly, or others wouldn’t know he had trump cards to be cautious of.

Regarding the Fifth Energy Level organ... with Dragon Island’s vast backdrop, no one can pry into it; rather, it can serve as a deterrent.

Thus, after waiting until the Spire Master and the Dragon Witch in front of him returned to normal, Mahdi spoke: "I have a question I’d like to ask."

After Romani made a ’please ask’ gesture, the black-haired knight slowly said: "The Spirit Energy Development Conference is a meeting for all parties to exchange their research results, right?"

"In that case, if I want to promote a spirit energy—barely relevant to spirit energy research, let’s say. In short, if I want to give a talk about related research, I should also have the qualification for that, right?"

"Of course."

Steadying himself, Romani didn’t really believe Mahdi had any spirit energy-related research results, but considering he was the Silver Peak Earl’s senior, he figured Mahdi was speaking on behalf of the absent Silver Peak Earl.

In that case, there should be no problem, so he briskly nodded: "What do you want to present? Tell me the title first, and I’ll register it."

"Arcane Pathway."

Mahdi smiled, noticing that all three people, including Yisen Gard, were looking at him with curious and surprised eyes, emphasized earnestly: "It’s the Arcane Pathway."

"That’s the subject I want to present at the development conference."

At this moment, Ian sighed deeply in his heart.

—Finally found an opportunity with enough weight to publicize the Arcane Pathway!
