"Indeed."
Francis felt relieved in his heart and no longer dwelled on this topic. Instead, he asked, "Regarding your ability to open up a plane and the treatment issues of the vassal races you've set, when do you plan to announce this?"
"Should it be directly announced at the Grand Council, or should we hold a Small Council first?"
"Announce everything at the Grand Council," Lor laughed. "These things are beneficial for the Wizard Alliance, no one will oppose them. After the Grand Council, everyone can celebrate together, making it lively."
"Alright, let's do as you say."
Francis nodded and asked again, "When do you plan to move those flowers back to the Wizard Plane? Will they be placed in your territory?"
"And regarding the appraiser wizard you mentioned last, whom will you appoint?"
He must clearly understand these issues.
If Lor wants to place those flowers in his territory, Francis would have to advise against it.
After all, fifth-tier beings are not that easily controllable, and the current Soul Contract cannot restrain them. If they suddenly went out of control, Lor might suffer significant losses.
As for the appraiser wizard responsible for assessing vassal race resources, this is an extremely important position linked to tremendous interests, so it's necessary to clarify.
"I plan to place those of the Yinhua Race in nearby planes captured in future battles for the Wizard Planes. This issue is related to the distribution of plane interests, so we'll discuss it in more detail at the Grand Council," Lor explained slowly. "As for the appraiser wizard position, I think it's more suitable for each Speaker to recommend a trusted wizard to assume the role."
"In my planning, the appraiser wizard's duty is to assess the resources contributed by those vassal races belonging to the Wizard Alliance, striving to ensure fairness."
"As for the personal vassal races belonging to Speakers or Legislators, they can set their own pricing, handling it however they wish."
"You have indeed thought it out thoroughly. I have a new proposal, and I'm wondering if you would be willing to accept it." Francis was increasingly satisfied as he listened, and a thought emerged in his mind of handing over all the affairs related to plane creation to Lor.
Just handling internal affairs within the Wizard Alliance requires him to take one day off every year.
With the future addition of affairs from other planes, wouldn't it require three or even five days a year?
He has many things to do, like continuing to construct and merge Sixth Ring witchcraft, cultivate his Spiritual Power, and explore the path to the Seventh Ring, all of which require a lot of time.
Letting the thoughtful Lor handle these matters would ease his burden, so why not?
"What proposal?" Lor asked curiously.
"In the future, you will be responsible for affairs of other planes, and I will not intervene," Francis said frankly.
"No, I refuse."
Lor declined Francis's proposal without hesitation, "I have too many things to do next, like creating a Domain to achieve the Fifth Ring, engraving Spatial Engraving on the Wizard Plane as a backup plan, and constructing and merging Fifth Ring witchcraft, among other things. I really can't find time to manage these matters."
It's a joke; he wishes he could spend every year as if it were two. How could he possibly find time to deal with those miscellaneous affairs?
Francis wants to dump the tasks on him? No way.
Domenico, who was listening to their conversation on the side, couldn't help but feel amused.
Power that many Legislators and even Speakers eagerly seek has become burdensome in the eyes of these two, which is simply ludicrous.
But then again, if it were him handling it, he might... Just maybe... Alright, he understood their perspective.
"Alright then."
Francis sighed with regret, "Your breakthrough to the Fifth Ring is indeed the most important matter for the Wizard Alliance now. In this critical period, you cannot spare time to deal with miscellaneous tasks."
Lor's breakthrough to the Fifth Ring concerns whether the Wizard Alliance can retreat in the end, should they fail against the Silver Wolf. It cannot be delayed at all.
What needs to be managed, he still has to take care of himself.
As for delegating all affairs to other Speakers or Amy, he didn't feel entirely comfortable.
It's not a matter of trust, but rather that those people have some character flaws, more or less.
For instance, Amy is straightforward and decisive but often lacks foresight in some areas.
Another example is Yasen, who is quite dependable in terms of foresight, but tends to be a bit too kind-hearted.
Then there's Theo, whose impatient nature might turn the Wizard Alliance into a mess in just a few years.
As for the likes of Jerald Sanchez, he couldn't be bothered to spend any effort to analyze them.
Thinking it over, there's no one besides Lor who made him completely at ease, which was quite regrettable.
"Speaker Lole, do you sell the Pure Dew you've acquired?" Domenico interjected after the two finished their exchange, saying, "I'm very interested in materials that aid a Fourth-Tier being to break through to the Fifth Tier."
He thought that Pure Dew might bring him some inspiration, providing new ideas for the breakthrough method he's creating for the Fifth Tier, so he was naturally reluctant to miss the opportunity to obtain it.
"Legislator Domenico, this thing is useless for creating breakthrough methods for the Fifth Ring," Lor explained. "Its primary function is to forcefully help wizards, who cannot break through to the Fourth Ring, break through to it."
After speaking, seeing the stunned expressions on both their faces, he quickly added, "Don't misunderstand; it's not a perfect breakthrough."
"Once this method is used to break through, there will be irreversible flaws in the Origin Container, which may eventually result in a lifespan of only ten thousand years if not using the Power of Origin."
"As for employing the Power of Origin, the damage it causes to the Origin Container is more than ten times greater than our use of the Power of Origin."
"Furthermore, it leads to a dead end; future attempts to break through again would be absolutely impossible."
