"Seeing the future? Or an unpleasant future?"

Francis' pupils suddenly contracted as he repeatedly asked, "What kind of future did you see?"

"Why would it be unpleasant?"

"Is someone rebelling against the Wizard Alliance?"

"This is not right; we've clearly arranged everything, and have given plenty of benefits to the gifted latecomers!"

He did not suspect that Lor was joking.

Not only because of Lor's serious expression now, but also because of the almost miraculous guidance this genius had issued before.

Previously, he was also amazed by the guidance that Lor could provide, which was almost applicable to most factions.

No matter how genius a person is, there should be a limit, and reaching Lor's level was simply too outrageous.

But if the premise of seeing the future was added, everything could be explained.

Now the only doubt in his mind was why the future would be unpleasant.

"Much worse than this." Lor sighed, staring straight into Francis' eyes, speaking slowly: "Speaker Francis, in the future I saw, you will die, and this future is not far off for us."

Since he decided to reveal, he had to reveal something big first, to make Francis take it more seriously, right?

He wasn't lying either, without his presence, Francis' death was almost certain.

There was no way, as by that time he had already broken through the Sixth Ring, and was the most suitable 'chicken' to warn the 'monkeys'.

"I will die?" Francis was completely stunned.

He really couldn't think of anyone in the Wizard World who could kill him, including Lor.

The Great Meteor Technique was powerful but not unbreakable.

As long as the Great Meteor Technique was shattered in advance, Lor couldn't harm him in the slightest.

Of course, he couldn't harm Lor either, the deep layer space was too mysterious.

"In the not-too-distant future, the Plane Gate will be pushed open by a giant silver wolf with wings."

Lor said in a mystical, chant-like tone: "Behind it, there follow tens of thousands of tier four, five and six exotic beings."

"The silver wolf flaps its wings and cascades a beam of light, completely erasing you and Francis City floating in the clouds, then lets those exotic beings capture all wizards in front of it and say to us: 'Submit, or die.'"

"Henceforth, the Wizard World became its vassal."

"We also stood by its side, becoming one of the exotic beings that follow it."

"Or rather, became one of its slaves."

The words he spoke, although mixed with exaggeration, had no major flaws overall.

If not for his appearance, the last sentence would have been the ultimate outcome.

With every word Lor spoke, Francis felt his heart grow colder.

Tens of thousands of tier four, five, six beings, and a silver wolf whose strength was unknown but could erase him with a swipe of its claw.

How should the Wizard Alliance resist such formidable enemies?

Could it be the future of the Wizard Alliance was really destined to be this way?

He lowered his head, remained silent for a long, long time, then finally raised his head, sharp eyes gazing into Lor's, with a hoarse voice he spoke: "Is there a way to change all of this?"

"Of course there is."

Lor nodded calmly, "The Abyssal Wizard System, the Small Energy Furnace bringing the Mechanical Wizard System, and one of my plans, any of these three plans reaching their potential can change such a future."

"Among them, if a wizard achieves the Sixth Ring through the Abyssal Wizard System or the Mechanical Wizard System brought by the Small Energy Furnace, it will lead to the best future, annihilating the Silver Wolf."

"Their strength is beyond your imagination."

"No need to worry about the beings following the Silver Wolf, as long as the Silver Wolf dies, they will all die… at least most of them will."

"And my plan is to take the Wizard World and run, which is the worst outcome, and I do not recommend implementing this plan unless absolutely necessary."

"So you've already been laying everything out in advance?!!" The sharpness in Francis' eyes gradually turned to shock: "And based on your plans, the worst outcome is only to flee together, not to become slaves of that Silver Wolf?"

At this moment, he thought of many things.

For instance, the Energy Furnace improvement plan that Lor proposed when he was still a Third Ring.

Or the Abyssal Wizard Plan that was vigorously promoted at a Small Council convened before the 200th Grand Council, during the Wizard Calendar.

As it turned out, everything was set for the arrival of that moment.

Francis figured everything out, but immediately a new question filled his mind.

If he remembered correctly, before the first player descent, Lor seemed to have already proposed the Energy Furnace improvement plan.

In ordinary times, this small doubt would not have been a big issue.

But he wanted to give Lor his absolute trust, so not a trace of doubt could exist.

Therefore, this matter had to be clarified.

"Sir Lor,"

Francis spoke solemnly: "If I remember correctly, when you proposed the Energy Furnace improvement plan, the players had not descended."

"At that time, you shouldn't have seen the future, right?"

Addressing Lor as "Sir" indicated that this matter was not questioned from the standpoint of a Speaker.

But from the standpoint of a perplexed seeker of knowledge, seeking answers from a person worthy of his respect.

"Sir Francis, you've forgotten one thing."

Lor smiled brightly, and without directly answering Francis' question, he took a roundabout way: "Before I proposed the Energy Furnace improvement plan, I first purchased a territory from Ron."

"The center of this territory is precisely the Agate Great Plains."

"And the location where the players descended also happened to be the Agate Great Plains."

"And at that time, I just happened to be free, always wandering around there, you wouldn't think this was all a coincidence, would you?"

"Moreover, besides me, none of you figured out any way to utilize the players' talents, doesn't that make you wonder?"

Sometimes, some coincidences and flaws that can be borne are just to weave a more perfect future.

At the time, already a Legislator, with Yasen as his backing, he could clearly withstand the flaw of being present during the players' descent and being the only one to find a way to utilize their talents.

To this day, the flaw has grown branches and blossomed into a flower called perfection.

When this flower bloomed, he didn't even need to explain in detail, and Francis would automatically imagine a reason, one that he firmly believed in.

"I see..." Francis looked at Lor's bright smiling face, speaking heavily: "These years have been hard on you, Sir Lor."

From Lor's brief words, he inferred a lot.

If he hadn't guessed incorrectly, Lor held a Marvel that could summon players and see the future, before their first descent.

And upon obtaining it, glimpsed the futures that could be spawned by the Energy Furnace, including the powerful Wizard Faction, Abyssal Mage Faction, and various other Wizard Factions like the Faith Wizard and Dark Wizard, and also the future of the Silver Wolf's arrival.

Since then, Lor had been carrying the weight, dedicated to promoting these factions to save the Wizard Alliance.

Among them, the Abyssal Mage Faction wasn't proposed during the first Grand Council due to everyone's strong aversion to Faith Wizards at the time.

But by the second Grand Council, Lor couldn't wait any longer and initiated a Small Council to vote in advance, thus the Abyssal Mage Faction was born.

With the second player descent, Lor released over a hundred vague conjectures, clearly indicating that he activated the Marvel again to see the future once more.

Everything made perfect sense.

And the smile on Lor's face today clearly stemmed from the relief of speaking the burden buried in his heart.

This is why he said those words - It's been hard on you.

"I did all this for both the Wizard Alliance and myself," Lor said with a smile.

He didn't know what Francis had deduced, but looking at the direction he planned, it was highly likely heading towards the assumption that he held the Marvel.

Even if it wasn't, it wouldn't be far off.

For this, he had a complete set of rhetoric to cope, ensuring the trust from this person remained intact.

Having gained the trust from this person meant gaining nearly one-third control of the Wizard Alliance.

If Francis subsequently proposed convening a Small Council to inform the other Speakers of this matter, he might even gain greater control.

By then, if he proposed concentrating resources on the Abyssal Wizard and Mechanical Wizard projects, the possibility of Tier Six Abyssal and Mechanical Wizards appearing would greatly increase.
