Chapter 139 Preparation
With the help of a wise man, a person of high position and power, many things become easier.
The reason why the little tricks that Benjamin and his men carried out in the royal capital were able to be carried out smoothly was partly because the sage helped them cover it up with his own abilities.
And when David confirmed that Jemin and the others would take action tonight and prepare to pollute the faith, thus creating opportunities for the high-level wizards.
In order to obtain an additional contribution, David teamed up with the sage to make a final move:
They secretly gathered the top leaders of all races - those mortal leaders who held the highest mortal power, who could mobilize armies and organize resistance.
Then, when they were caught off guard, the magic trap prepared by the sage in advance was activated, strangling everyone instantly.
This is why, when Benjamin and his five companions successfully escaped from the royal capital, although the city was in chaos, there was no one who could really take charge and come out to take charge of the situation and organize an effective counterattack.
Because at that time, all the senior officials had died in this silent "beheading operation".
This is also the key reason why David ranks second on the contribution list.
It was equivalent to him participating in the faith pollution plan of the five people including Jemin, and at the same time, he made an additional huge contribution of strangling the mortal leader.
So apart from Benjamin, who is the leader, his contribution is the highest.
Sensing the news about the wizard camp from the magic weapon, David's lips curled up into a confident smile.
He knew that this move of his was extremely brilliant.
On the other side, the sage with a somewhat dazed expression couldn't help but recall his first meeting with David.
The young man, using a perspective that did not belong to this plane, clearly explained to him the power of wizard civilization and the final outcome of the Elosia plane.
With the wisdom of a wise man, one can naturally see that David's operation is completely a case of getting something for nothing.
If the other party cannot convince himself, then there is no question of contribution, and naturally there will not be enough contribution to protect the creatures of the Eloshia plane.
But he also admitted that what David said was true. After clearly realizing the powerful strength of the wizard civilization, the sage also knew that there was no possibility for the Elosia plane to win.
Only by relying on others can there be hope of survival.
Of course, in addition to surviving, he can also rise up in resistance.
What really touched him was David's words that struck his soul:
"Sage, are you a sage of the nobles of this world, or a sage of the living beings of this world?"
That's what David asked him at the time.
The sage closed his eyes. The other party's question made him involuntarily recall his past dreams.
So he made his choice.
There was no place for nobles in the wizarding social system, and the nobles' anger only increased David's disgust.
So the sage decisively agreed to David's beheading plan.
He did this not for those nobles, but for this plane to keep the spark and continue to exist in another way.
…
…
Although the gods of the upper planes of the Elosia plane have been completely captured by the high-level beings of the wizard civilization, taking over the remaining planes is still a rather large and complicated task.
This plane community contains many sub-planes, each of which requires meticulous integration and resource collection.
More importantly, the solutions for dealing with various intelligent and non-intelligent creatures within the plane need to be carefully considered and evaluated to ensure that they are in line with the highest interests and long-term planning of the Noren Workshop.
Therefore, in a short period of time, these wizard apprentices who came to participate in the trial became free.
Fortunately, the disappearance of the plane barrier allows them to leave the conquered plane and return to the Noren Workshop at any time through the space teleportation device built in the camp.
Benjamin was a little hesitant at first.
He was very interested in the mysterious belief network of the Elosia plane and wanted to stay and continue to study it in depth.
Ever since the plane became chaotic, the earthly energy he could collect seemed to have undergone some subtle changes, which urgently required further exploration.
However, he still wanted to go back to the Noren Workshop first and tell Instructor Clark and the others about it. After all, they were quite concerned about him and they were indebted to him.
Unexpectedly, before he could take action, Mentor Clark contacted him directly.
Instructor Clark's voice was as steady as ever, with a subtle hint of approval. "Jereming, we've heard about your performance in this plane and are very satisfied. Your contribution this time has exceeded all of our expectations."
Jieming felt warm in his heart and replied modestly, "This is all due to the good teachings of my mentor."
"Don't try that." Instructor Clark chuckled, then changed his tone, "There's still a lot for us to do at Norn Academy No. 13. We'll leave first."
Benjamin was slightly stunned.
"Kid, seize this opportunity." Instructor Clark's voice was filled with a hint of advice. "The faith network there is a treasure trove. I've done some research before, but due to a lack of sufficient materials, I haven't made much progress. You have good conditions now, so perhaps you can find a way forward."
"Thank you, mentor." All the entanglements in Benjamin's heart disappeared.
After saying goodbye to his mentors, Jemin stayed in the wizard camp.
The original tense atmosphere here has disappeared, replaced by a triumphant relaxation and busyness.
Some wizards who are specifically responsible for resource inventory and plane integration have arrived one after another and started to carry out the huge statistical work.
Jemin did not get involved in these trivial matters. He returned to the exclusive cabin assigned to him in the camp.
He sorted out some rare materials and items he had collected in the Elosia plane, such as stones with ancient patterns, special plant samples, and some relics from the temple.
Then, he took out a thick notebook and began to carefully record the important knowledge and insights he had gained during this period.
His pen tip danced across the page, writing down his deeper understanding of the collection and application of earthly energy.
He discovered that the stronger and more complex a mortal's emotions were, the more worldly energy they generated.
But at the same time, the earthly energy created in this way is extremely unstable, and it is very dangerous if used to hone one's will.
On the contrary, the red dust energy produced in a stable state, although low in output and effect, is highly safe.
Therefore, there are different ways to utilize different worldly energies.
He also recorded in detail his ideas for improving talismanic instruments.
This plane war allowed him to verify the potential of the talisman in actual combat, and also discovered that there was still room for improvement.
He conceived how to make the sigils better adapt to the energy systems of different planes, and how to absorb energy more covertly.
Of course, the most important thing is his research results on the divine power belief network and his plans for further research.
He even began to imagine how to establish a new system of faith observation and experimentation within his own territory.
Just as Jemin was immersed in his thoughts and records, his magic weapon suddenly emitted a slight vibration.
He opened it and found it was a communication request from David.
Jieming was a little surprised, but then answered the call.
David's figure emerged in the projection of the magic weapon. He was no longer the barbarian he was when he first saw him, but had regained the unique temperament of a wizard.
"Jereming, congratulations on being the top of the list." David got straight to the point, his voice calm and direct. "I guess you already know some of my contributions to this mission."
"Are you referring to those high-ranking people who died in the hall?" Benjamin raised his eyebrows, with a hint of amusement in his tone.
The wizards could not hide the deaths of these high-ranking officials, and the news soon spread throughout the camp.
David's lips curled up slightly. "That's right. However, I have one more thing I need your assistance with."
Benjamin motioned for him to continue.
David's expression became somewhat complicated, and he briefly explained the agreement he had made with the sage.
He emphasized that this was not a simple transaction, but his promise to leave a "spark" for this plane.
"So, my goal is to make a deal with you," David said solemnly. "I can offer a certain price in return—my research notes. These notes primarily reflect my findings since entering this dimension, encompassing my in-depth research into the power of faith, disguised witchcraft, and the characteristics of some native creatures."
He paused, a hint of pleading in his tone, "I hope you can help me accept some of the intelligent creatures native to the Elosia plane and settle them in your future territory. I will provide a detailed list, ensuring that they are all selected by sages, willing to accept transformation, and have good intentions towards wizard civilization. Please rest assured, I will provide the appropriate transformation potions and assist you in their transformation."
Benjamin tapped his fingers on the table, lost in thought.
David's research notes… He knew that David was a genius at Norn Academy, and that his research happened to be after he entered the Elosia plane, so his research results were just right for him.
More importantly, Benjamin suddenly thought that after he had a territory in this plane, there seemed to be more things to do.
He needed people to manage the territory, people to assist in his experiments, and even some loyal "experimental subjects" to observe the effects of the transformation.
These native intelligent creatures who have been selected by sages and are willing to integrate into the wizard civilization are undoubtedly the best choice.
"I agree." Benjamin raised his head, his eyes deep. "Your research notes are indeed very valuable. As for those intelligent creatures, I can place them in my territory and ensure that they are nurtured according to the methods of wizard civilization."
A subtle flash of relief and gratitude flashed across David's eyes. "Thank you very much, Jeremy. I'll send you the research notes as soon as possible."
The transaction between the two parties was carried out smoothly and without even signing a contract.
But both sides also know that the other side will not go back on its word. After all, this is beneficial to both sides.
The communication was cut off and a smile appeared on Benjamin's face.
