Chapter 1418 411: Void Realm Within the Void Realm?
Handling the reinstatement procedures for James Walli went much more smoothly than expected.
With Prince Colin personally involved, the mages in the administrative department of the Academic State, who usually used "follow procedures" as their shield, exhibited unprecedented efficiency.
In less than half a day, all the tedious processes were settled.
Exiting the administrative office, James held a badge symbolizing his identity as a "Colin Tower Visiting Scholar" and a key to the teacher's dormitory.
Looking at the reinstated certificate of the Academic State mage, James felt a sense of surreal detachment, as if the past year had been a dream.
"Next up is the accommodation issue."
Luo Yan smiled, waving to a slender young man waiting not far away, and continued in a casual tone.
"Although the paperwork is done, there are still many trivial matters... Let me introduce a helper for you. This is Kegi, Assistant to Professor Hector, you can go to him for anything."
The young man jogged over. He was not tall, but walked briskly, with bright eyes and a sharp, capable demeanor.
"Your Highness, were you looking for me?"
Luo Yan smiled at Kegi and introduced him.
"Kegi, this is Mr. James Walli beside me. He will rejoin the Tower of Great Sage as a special research fellow and work in my Magic Science Laboratory. Although he has lived in the Tower of Great Sage before, he's been away for a while, and quite a few things have changed in the Mage Tower during that time... If he encounters any trouble in life or research, please help him out."
"Yes, Master! You can count on me!"
Assistant Kegi nodded vigorously, responding cleanly and sharply before turning to James and respectfully bowing.
"Hello Mr. Walli, I'm Kegi! Do you have any special requirements for the accommodation? Such as orientation, floor, or need for extra soundproofing array? I can take you there now."
His barrage of questions left James, still in a daze, momentarily stunned. He then smiled a bit shyly and said awkwardly.
"My dormitory has already been decided, so just... lead me there normally."
He had a good impression of this enthusiastic young man, only he had never been treated so warmly before, making him feel a bit at a loss.
Kegi didn't mind James's awkwardness, only smiled saying.
"Alright! Mr. Walli, please follow me! Right, your luggage? I can arrange for someone to send it to your room..."
Thanking Prince Colin once more for his gratitude, James Walli followed Assistant Kegi out of the corridor outside the administrative office.
Watching them leave, Luo Yan was about to return to the laboratory.
At this moment, a young magic apprentice hurriedly ran in from afar.
The young man stopped in front of him, breathing heavily from running too fast, and his face flushed with excitement from meeting his idol, he said gasping.
"Prince... Colin! Assistant Miller asked me to inform you that there is new progress in the research on the 178th Void Realm at Colin Tower!"
The 178th Void Realm?
Luo Yan's eyebrows slightly raised, a tinge of surprised joy arose in his heart as he instructed the visibly excited apprentice.
"Tell Miller I'll be there first thing tomorrow morning."
"Yes, sir!" The apprentice nodded enthusiastically, genuinely proud to be of help to Prince Colin, and after saying goodbye, he left in a rush.
Although the situation at the top of the Tower of Great Sage was unpredictable, and the attitudes of many professors and masters towards Prince Colin wavered with the sages' tendencies, it was different with those young magic apprentices.
They genuinely respected and admired this Prince who reached out to them in times of crisis...
...
The next morning, Luo Yan rode on the flying horse carriage borrowed from Professor Hector, landing on the frozen ground outside Colin Tower.
Treading the frost-covered stone steps, he had just entered the Void Realm laboratory on the second floor when he felt the undeniable excitement.
All the researchers were gathered around the lens of the 178th Void Realm, whispering excitedly, not immediately noticing his arrival.
The scene within the lens was no longer the war-torn chaos from two months ago.
With the "Cosmic Spirit" cult achieving final victory, the time behind the Void Realm had leaped forward by more than a century!
It wasn't just the passage of time; the world behind the Void Realm had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Towering buildings much more magnificent than before rose from the ground, and the vehicles traversing the complex of buildings moved in orderly fashion.
Everything seemed the same yet distinctly different from before.
For example, the dark alleys that never saw light were gone, replaced by urban gardens growing alongside skyscrapers like a flower garden.
Enjoying life seemed no longer the privilege of "high-rise residents" or "elites with floor-to-ceiling windows."
Whether suffering or happiness, under the "empathetic ability granted by the vast spiritual network," were evened out without distinction.
One person's misfortune was the misfortune of all resonators, and one person's joy was the joy of all resonators.
Moreover.
The slums that grew like moss in the shadows also disappeared. Jon's followers upheld the creed "I shall perish first," and the houses planned by the "Cosmic Spirit" cult seemed just enough to accommodate every Gray Man.
