The communication had just been sent out and was immediately connected, a light screen appeared in front of Lor.
"Speaker Lor, have you seen that message?" In the light screen, Francis asked, "Back then, you said there was a way to solve the issue of the small energy furnace's capacity being too small in the future. Do you have any ideas now?"
This was mentioned during a casual chat before the grand council meeting in the Wizard Calendar year 500, when Lor was waiting for the grand council to convene.
Since small energy furnaces hadn't shown much success at that time, he didn't ask in detail, just kept it in mind.
Now that Ernie has developed the small energy furnace, he naturally wanted to ask Lor about it.
"It might take some time."
Lor shook his head, "But at most two hundred years, I can solve this issue."
"Urge Ernie to work harder on resolving the slow energy transmission efficiency problem."
In at most a hundred years, fifteen construction-type space foundation runes will be assembled.
Then taking another hundred years to research space expansion will be more than sufficient, perhaps even leading to advancements in space equipment manufacturing and space transmission arrays.
"Haha, sure."
Francis nodded with a smile, "Although I don't know why you're so eager, I will urge Ernie to study hard."
"If there's nothing else, see you at the grand council."
If Lor was in a hurry to see a large energy furnace take shape, he would understand, since it concerns Witchcraft Position after all.
But as for the small energy furnace, even if developed, it seems to only benefit lower-level wizards.
For people at their level, it's almost useless.
Of course, as strange as it is, if Lor doesn't bring it up on his own, he won't ask about it. After all, everyone has secrets, as long as it doesn't concern the big picture, it doesn't matter.
"There's one more thing."
Lor immediately said, "Your ten layers of Abyss are just sitting idle anyway, why not let players take on the task I posted to go in and kill some Abyssal Demons next time they descend?"
"Of course, I will let players leave demon materials for you, which means no loss for you."
He originally planned to talk to each speaker one by one before the grand council. Now that he was communicating with Francis in advance, he wouldn't miss this big landowner.
"The reward you've given for killing demons is already low. If players have to leave the corpses for me, would they still be willing?" Francis asked dubiously.
Offering 100 Magic Crystals to kill a first-level Abyssal Demon without having to hand over the materials is already a basement price in his opinion.
Going any lower, he really couldn't believe players would still take on this task.
After all, unlike Lor's few layers of Abyss, other abysses have quite a few third-level demons, which can pose some risk.
Players may not die, but watching their hard-earned Magic Crystal achievements in the Third Ring get wiped out would probably be quite painful, wouldn't it?
"They will."
Lor smiled, "Many players have already reached the Third Ring, and they're very efficient at demon slaying."
"With just any witchcraft spell, they can wipe out hundreds or even thousands of first and second-level demons, raking in tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Magic Crystals."
"With such high returns, why wouldn't they be willing to go?"
Over the past seventy years, he took time to review Kateya's reports on Abyss tasks.
Now, his three layers of the abyss have become hot commodities, as soon as a first-level demon appears, Third Ring players immediately rush to get it, particularly the legion established by the Celestial Exploration Institute.
There's nothing to be done; nearly all magic positions earning Magic Crystals after a limit break have been taken by them.
Other tasks, like potion magic artifact crafting, cannot compare in Magic Crystal yield with this task, and demand is limited, making it more troublesome.
With confidence, he decided to press the price further.
"Okay."
Francis nodded, hesitated slightly, but finally couldn't help asking, "Speaker Lor, can you tell me what you gain from players killing demons?"
"Of course, if you really don't want to say, that's okay too. I'm just too curious."
Sending players to the abyss to clear demons is one of the top ten unsolved mysteries in the Wizard World, even ranking near the top.
His curiosity about this issue far surpasses his curiosity about the purpose of small energy furnaces.
Since Lor needed his help, it gave him a reason to ask.
Not asking it would leave him with regret.
"Well..." Hearing Francis's question, Lor immediately pondered.
No one in the Wizard World could threaten him now; he wondered if hiding his plan was necessary anymore?
By using the excuse of giving tasks to players, he could reveal part of the future.
This way, everyone could work more diligently and united, right?
After reviewing it again in his mind and confirming there were no omissions, he immediately made a decision.
"You... really want to know?" Lor looked at Francis, who was staring intensely, and asked solemnly.
"I'd love to know!" Francis nodded eagerly, without any hesitation.
If Lor was willing to talk, that would be excellent. All the speakers had been wanting to know, and this opportunity was right before him, how could he miss it?
"By leveraging players' actions, I can see... the future." Lor said very seriously, "And the future I see is not beautiful."
In the end, he didn't mention his ability to see the River of Time.
This ability was unique to him alone; saying it out loud held no significance since everything depended on himself, and no one could assist him.
