The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1332 - 390: The Jealous Arist and the Omnipresent Colin (Part 2)

Just as he thought, Hector tried hard to restrain the excitement in his voice and announced with a solemn tone.

"This Special Committee will be responsible for selecting Void Realms with the potential for restoration, and appointing new research teams to conduct restorative research based on your research ideas!"

"And you will serve as the Executive Chair of this Special Committee, directly participating in this two-way selection of resources and talents!"

The air in the office was silent for two seconds.

Despite being somewhat prepared, Luo Yan was still greatly surprised by the significant gesture of the Tower of Great Sage.

Joining the Special Committee established by the Council of Sages means he will have the power to evaluate and even allocate the most core strategic resources of the Academic State!

His influence will no longer be limited to the small Colin Tower but will radiate under the shadow of the entire Tower of Great Sage!

Although it is true that the Academic State is a vassal state of the Empire, ultimately, they are two different systems... Do these guys trust him so much?

Or is it that these Mages are sure he won't stay here forever, so instead of choosing someone from their school, they'd rather have an outsider like him as the Executive Chair.

But anyway—

Luo Yan's face showed a pleasant smile.

"This is indeed good news, thank you, Professor Hector."

Upon hearing this, Professor Hector's face was even more joyful.

"Haha, Your Highness, you are too kind, this is all well-deserved for you. Speaking of which... this Special Committee will inevitably require your hard work in the future. Those frozen Void Realm files are piled up like mountains, and picking out the valuable ones... is not an easy task."

As he said this, he rubbed his hands a bit sheepishly and laughed awkwardly, his expression like a child coveting candy but too embarrassed to speak.

"Of course, just in case... I mean just in case, Your Highness discovers any resources particularly suitable for my Mage Tower during the review... please, uh, do consider."

This old, rigid professor was clearly not good at asking for favors, and his roundabout way of speaking made him feel a bit embarrassed even after speaking.

Looking at Professor Hector, who wanted something but was too hesitant to speak, Luo Yan smiled faintly. Such a trivial matter was, of course, easy for him.

"Of course, your academic ability is acknowledged by all scholars, even without our relationship, I would naturally consider you first... Please don't worry too much, Professor."

In a place like the Academic State, there is no shortage of talented researchers, you could hit a bunch by throwing a brick randomly.

Since the decision-making power is in his hands, who else would he give the opportunity to, if not those who are directly within his control?

As a Demon King, his first choice is, of course, those people whose remote control is in his hands.

Hector's old face turned red, and he scratched the back of his head, seemingly to alleviate embarrassment, laughing heartily.

"Haha, true... I'm not bragging, in the Tower of Great Sage, I'm considered one of the most famous Void Realm researchers, or else they wouldn't have recruited me."

In this office, he was the only one laughing.

"..."

Looking at Professor Hector talking to himself, Luo Yan silently picked up the teacup on the table, using the act of sipping tea to mask the awkwardness, while sighing inwardly.

With this guy's emotional intelligence, he actually made it to a professor position, he must truly have some real skills in his hands...

...

Just as the Demon King's corruption silently spread towards the tower top, another Divine wasn't idle either.

The usually reclusive source magic giant, Professor Arist, from the Source Magic School, surprisingly altered his usual style, frequently appearing in the public eye.

In the upper library of the Tower of Great Sage, an experienced Master was struggling with a complex rune matrix, lost in meditation.

As he sighed at the model, Professor Arist, who happened to be passing by, suddenly stopped, casually glanced at it, and said lightly.

"Why not reverse the direction of energy conduction? It's not a very complicated problem; you're overthinking it."

That simple remark was like a bolt of lightning, leaving the Master stunned on the spot. Initially, his eyes were full of doubt, but the doubtful expression soon turned into joy.

"Thank you—Professor Arist?!" Just as he looked up, he suddenly realized who had enlightened him.

And in that instant, he was utterly shocked.

Looking at this ignorant fool, a trace of disdain flashed in Arist's eyes, but he still responded in a gentle and humble manner.

"You're welcome. It's my... pleasure to resolve your confusion." He put some effort into saying the last word, as if it were a complex spell.

The Master's mouth hung open as if struck by a spell, unable to recover for a long time, his face showing an expression of disbelief.

Arist didn't waste time on this "confused forest mouse," nodded with a smile, and then walked away under the instinctive attention of countless scholars.

On another occasion, in the corridor leading to the library, a preparatory student, due to nerves, accidentally knocked the dossiers in his hand to the ground.

Just as he frantically tried to gather them up, he found Professor Arist had crouched down and personally picked up one of the scrolls for him.

The apprentice, feeling honored, mustered the courage to ask a question, so naive it was almost laughable, about the essence of Source Power.

Everyone thought he would be mocked or reprimanded, but Arist, instead of getting angry, patiently stopped to answer his question using the simplest analogy.
