"Ah, this..." Domenico smacked his lips, "So many constraints? What a pity."
If there were no constraints, Pure Dew would be a divine object for Third Ring Wizards, but with them, it's just a chicken rib to all Third Ring Wizards with outstanding talent in witchcraft training.
As for ordinary Third Ring...
If nothing unexpected happens, they simply can't afford such a resource.
Its only purpose is to help those with outstanding talent in subsidiary occupations and the relatives and friends of significant figures extend their lifespan.
"Indeed, it's a pity." Francis nodded, "But its use isn't actually small, Speaker Lor, if Ernie and Rosa fail to break through the Fourth Ring, you might need to evenly distribute Pure Dew to help them out."
Ernie has extremely high talent in Energy Furnace research, unmatched in the Wizard Alliance, while Rosa has incredible achievements in potions.
He would hate to see either of them die, as they would be a great loss to the Wizard Alliance.
"If they are willing to endure Ice Seal, when the seventh and eighth drops of Breakthrough Dew appear, I will give them to them for free."
Lor said, "As for the first six drops, I need to leave a way out for my mentor, assistants, and students."
He risked encountering the Silver Wolf Influence and went through much trouble to find the Yinhua Race for the sake of his relatives and friends, and he would not change his mind because of one request from Francis.
The distinction between closeness and distance is the deepest-rooted concept in his mind.
He respects those who prioritize the interests of the Alliance over their own, like Francis, but to become someone like that himself, he'll pass.
How can one sweep the world when one cannot sweep one's house?
In any case, as long as Ernie is willing to be frozen, they have at most to wait a thousand years to get the Breakthrough Dew, and not have no chance at all.
"Indeed, I haven't considered comprehensively enough." Francis smiled wryly, "I will send a message to notify Ernie later."
He forgot that Lor's relatives and friends are still alive, maybe this time he went to the Yinhua Plane purposely for his relatives and friends.
In this case, to prioritize giving the Breakthrough Dew to Ernie and the others indeed wouldn't be appropriate.
After discussing official business, the three of them chatted about the research progress on the Fourth Ring body structure of Mechanical Wizards, the current research progress of the Energy Research Institute, and other important matters to them, and they gave Domenico suggestions on creating a translator.
Finally, Lor requested Francis to help produce some Fog of Life to aid in the future migration of the zero-level and newly sprouted Yin Flowers.
The matter of the Wizard Alliance's first step out of the plane and the subjugation of vassal races came to an end.
...
Betula Continent, in a potions laboratory on the top floor of the Lor Wizard Tower.
A space rift quietly appeared, then Lor stepped out of it.
"With Pure Dew in hand, it's time to concoct the Breakthrough Dew to awaken my mentor." Lor's lips curved slightly as he walked to the potion stand and picked up a black potion exuding a faint dark glow from a pile of densely packed potions.
This is a Soul Faction Alchemist's concoction, a Soul Shock Potion, which when consumed, can induce a slight tremor in the soul and reduce fatigue.
Generally, Wizards use it to eliminate the fatigue after prolonged research, although it's possible that some with special preferences enjoy this soul shock sensation.
Naturally, Lor took this not for either of those reasons, but to destroy the innate soul control trait naturally possessed by Pure Dew.
If this trait is not removed, the moment he has his mentor take the Breakthrough Dew, Agular's soul will lose autonomy and become a puppet of the Yinhua.
From his Space Ring, he took out a potion bottle containing Fifth Tier Pure Dew and then carefully dripped a drop of Soul Shock Potion inside.
The crystalline Pure Dew turned black the instant it contacted the Soul Shock Potion.
At the same time, a weak energy ripple spread from the potion bottle, dissipating into invisibility after extending over a hundred meters.
"Done." Lor shook the black Breakthrough Dew satisfied and stored it in his Space Ring.
Then he took out three more bottles and repeated the process.
In a short time, he had concocted four bottles of Breakthrough Dew.
If nothing goes wrong, it should be enough for his relatives and friends.
Like Levan, he at least has a fifty percent chance of breaking through the Fourth Ring on his own, while the other three students have two to three percent chances.
If they're lucky, most likely two of them will break through to the Fourth Ring on their own.
Of course, Lor was also prepared for the worst-case scenario.
Since there are only eight drops of Fourth Tier Pure Dew, and fifteen drops are needed to fuse into one drop of Breakthrough Dew, he didn't continue tinkering, instead taking out the Continent Communication Device to send a communication request to Lena, the Fourth Ring Legislator who facilitated Agular's Ice Seal.
To perfectly unseal, it relies on the wizard who cast the spell.
If Legislator Lena is wholly absorbed in research, Lor will have to wait for the next Grand Council in six years to unseal Agular.
After all, this is just a personal matter and not urgent, so there is no need to resort to emergency communication.
Luckily, Legislator Lena was not entirely immersed in her research, very soon connecting the communication, a light screen unfolded before Lor.
"Greetings, Speaker Lor." With blonde hair and exquisite features, Legislator Lena greeted respectfully.
"Mm." Lor nodded, smiling, "Legislator Lena, could I trouble you to unseal my mentor?"
"Of course." Lena replied, "I will immediately use the Space Transmission Array to come over."
...
Three minutes later.
On the 91st floor of the Lor Wizard Tower, in a room surrounded by countless ice elements, extremely cold, Lor and Lena stood side by side.
Before them lay a deep blue ice coffin about three meters long, containing Agular's aged body.
"Unseal it." Lor spoke softly.
"Yes, Speaker Lor." Lena nodded and carefully placed her hand on the ice coffin, concentrating fully as she gradually dispelled the ice.
"Crack—Crackle—"
With Lena's actions, cracks appeared in the ice coffin, making faint cracking sounds.
Before long, the entire interior of the ice coffin was covered in cracks, becoming extremely loose.
At that moment, Agular's aged eyelids twitched, showing signs of awakening.
Seeing this, Lena breathed a sigh of relief and quickly waved to disperse the ice coffin.
During the unsealing, she was afraid of any accident leading to a situation where Agular couldn't awaken.
If that scenario happened, given how much Speaker Lor values his mentor, her situation would be worrisome.
Fortunately, that very slim chance did not occur, and everything went smoothly.
"Thank you, Legislator Lena." Watching Agular's life slowly recovering, Lor smiled, "I will instruct Kateya to give you a hundred billion Magic Crystals as thanks."
"It was my duty to do so." Lena replied with a smile, then tactfully said, "I have some matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you further, Speaker Lor."
"Alright." Lor nodded, taking out the Continent Communication Device to send a message to Kateya, then heeding no more attention to Lena as she exited the room, focusing entirely on Agular.
"Where am I..."
At that moment, Agular finally opened his eyes, bewildered as he glanced around, catching sight of Lor standing by and recalling the events before his slumber, he immediately asked, "Lor, is it already the year 2900 of the Wizard Calendar?"
"No, mentor." Lor replied with a gentle smile, "It's the year 1394 of the Wizard Calendar, only five hundred and one years have passed since you went into slumber."
"Only five hundred years, and you've found what you mentioned that could forcefully break me through the Fourth Ring?" Agular asked, astonished.
"Uh, mentor, is there a chance that I didn't find Breakthrough Dew and had no choice but to wake you?" Lor jested.
"Hmm, that is possible." Agular nodded solemnly.
Given his understanding of Lor, if he hadn't found this... Breakthrough Dew?
This fellow wouldn't be this at ease now.
