The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1215 361: The Snare Named Desire (Part 2)

"Then... regarding the dormitory, meditation room, and benefits, although your rank is only a Master, after our research, we have decided to still accommodate you according to professor standards—"

Luo Yan coughed lightly, and Professor Hector's relaxed legs instantly tightened again as he quickly continued speaking.

"Of course! It's not just treatment sufficient to match your status! Your work will also be relatively free, and the most crucial thing is the experiment! Right? That's what you care about the most! Rest assured, the resources we have prepared for you are the best—"

"I'm not very interested in things that money can buy, but I am quite interested in what lies behind the Void Realm. As you know, besides my status as a Prince, I'm also a scholar keen on exploring the New World, and perhaps profound mysteries can temporarily make me forget worldly inquiries."

Professor Hector's face instantly turned into a bitter melon.

"Your Highness, someone as noble as you, the upper limit of the soul should be far higher than mine... I don't understand why you're so persistent about the Void Realm?"

"It's just out of interest," Luo Yan smiled lightly, "I've had a habit of looking around since my time on the Gana Continent, blame it on my childhood filled with curiosity."

Professor Hector was silent for a long time, then smiled bitterly and said.

"Curiosity... Your Highness, your curiosity is too costly. The Void Realm is the highest-level resource in the Academic State, even someone like me who has dedicated most of my life to the Academic State only has one, why not take my Mage Tower to satisfy your curiosity."

Luo Yan looked at him in surprise.

"Is that true?"

Professor Hector instantly fell silent.

Joking, that's his lifeblood; he's counting on the thing behind the Void Realm to help him break through the Diamond Level bottleneck in this lifetime!

Insufficient soul level has been his lifelong pain.

The Void Realm allocated to him, although not pure in energy, is enough for him to slowly climb upward along this rope... and this is almost his only hope in this life.

If Prince Colin's target is his Mage Tower, then let this guy make a fuss. The Tower of Great Sage won't collapse with just a few mouths!

The badge of the Holy City may be dazzling, but the council of the Academic State isn't weak or easy to bully!

Does he really think he's an Emperor?!

Seeing Professor Hector vaguely planning to give up, Luo Yan estimated he had pushed the button too hard, so he pulled back a bit.

"I was kidding just now, you don't have to give me a piece of your cake, but you can go get it from those who have more cake."

"I'm not asking for much, just a small piece, you could even interpret it as—a piece of cheese from the whole cake."

Seeing Professor Hector remain unmoved, Luo Yan smiled and threw out a final piece of bait, which he had prepared beforehand.

"Moreover, think about it, I'm ultimately not from here, just a passerby to you. Once my curiosity is satisfied, I'll leave, and in the end, who benefits from my Void Realm and research? Isn't it still you who helped me get it?"

Hector was shocked, sat up straight from the chair, and excitedly closed his spread legs.

"Is that true?!"

Now he was motivated!

Luo Yan laughed, taking a light sip of tea.

"As you said, descendants of the Colin family do not lack soul level; we are born with the worship of Imperial citizens. Do you really think I would shut myself in a Mage Tower to ponder Extraordinary Power just to eke out a few more years? As long as I don't make a major mistake, I'll probably still be a Prince in my next life. What do I need magic for, to flaunt Extraordinary Power to mortals? Things you need magic to achieve, I can do with just a word."

This blunt statement was candid, though unappealing, it truly reached Hector's heart, making it difficult for him not to breathe heavily.

It makes sense!

What Prince would stay in the bitter cold to do research?

Is the wine of the Holy City not fragrant enough?

Even the Knight Masters of Rhode Kingdom enjoy life more than we scholars do!

After a moment of silence, Professor Hector finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"I'll help you fight for it from above!"

Luo Yan made a toasting gesture with his teacup, smiling lightly.

"Then I await your good news."

Hector wiped his forehead for the third time, puffing out his cheeks and taking several deep breaths, seemingly to cool the room's scorching air.

It seems the fireplace is really hot.

His gaze fell on the notebook on the table, suddenly recalling something, he casually mentioned.

"By the way, about your daily necessities, since your treatment is based on professor standards, besides apprentices assisting your experiments, we've also specially prepared six life assistants for you, when would it be convenient for you to choose—"

"No need." Luo Yan smiled lightly, gently placing the teacup back on the ceramic tray, then rose from the soft sofa.

Without needing him to say much, Sarah stepped forward to smoothly straighten the wrinkles on his cuff and collar.

Though acting, her etiquette and understanding were impeccable.

Looking at the old professor with an expressionless face actually full of envy inside, Luo Yan casually left a farewell.

"This is none of your concern."

"My people, I trust them."

...

Just as Hector decided to take a risk for Prince Colin's curiosity, in a meditation room at another corner of the Tower of Great Sage, shadows of ghosts were flickering across the walls built with sound-absorbing stones.
