After resolving the development projects related to the illusion show, several more days passed. During these days, Ron mainly took the time to manage his territory.
Suddenly, this morning, Vivian told her that she might be about to break through.
What?
Is my maid also going to try to break through to the master level?
In the study of the lord's manor, Ron inquired about Vivian's specific situation and learned that it was a reminder from the legend of Sera.
As a result, Ron had no choice but to take it seriously.
Looking back at Ron's breakthrough, there were several crucial moments when he thought it was all or nothing!
Transcendence! It challenges the natural growth laws of dimensional beings. Even magical beasts may fail to advance, while humans who aspire to transcendence are doomed to failure if they don't prepare carefully.
Fortunately, Ron had been making preparations ever since he learned that his maid had a special talent, and that day was finally approaching.
Ron then asked, "Vivian, how confident are you?"
Vivian thought about it carefully, and combined with Sera's teachings, she originally wanted to say 40%, but facing her young master, she smiled and said, "80% sure, young master, you can rest assured."
Ron wasn't as reassured as Vivian had been. "Eighty percent chance?" Ron observed carefully and noticed that Vivian's eyes shifted to the side, and that the woman's gaze was darting away out of the corner of her eye.
The maid's small hand unconsciously twitched the hem of her dress...
Having grown up with Vivian, Ron could discern his maid's true thoughts from subtle details.
He rarely lies to the young master, yet he says this now.
Ron wasn't angry; he beckoned to Vivian...
The maid understood and moved closer to Ron. Ron reached out and flicked his index finger.
"Ah! Young master, couldn't you be a little gentler!" Vivian touched her forehead; she had been flicked and it hurt a bit!
"When did my Vivian ever lie to the young master? Tell me the truth!"
"I, I... Vivian didn't want to (；′⌒`)..."
"..."
After a period of teasing, Ron suddenly became serious: "Tell me, just how confident are you?"
Vivian was feeling a little aggrieved, but she still answered Ron's question: "Lady Sera said... but I think I'm still 40% confident. There's a 60% chance of failure, which is already very good. Otherwise, Vivian won't break through, young master, okay?"
Ron listened quietly to the long string of words. The maid's words were mostly teachings and speculations from the legend of Sera, followed by Vivian's own assessment.
Ron quickly considered all the possibilities, and finally said, "Okay, Vivian doesn't have to break through if she doesn't want to!"
Even if there's a one percent chance of failure, postponing it isn't a bad idea.
But when Vivian heard that her young master had actually agreed, she added, "Young master, after thinking about it carefully, I think it's better to break through. If I succeed in breaking through, can you take me with you when you go out to train?"
Vivian's thinking was simple: she didn't want to break through because if she failed, she wouldn't have the chance to serve the young master anymore. If she succeeded, she could stay with the young master all the time. So, she decided it was better to give it a try.
There is a 60% chance of a breakthrough failing, but the chance of a breakthrough resulting in death is relatively small.
Ron finally chuckled softly: "Have you decided?"
"It's decided!" Vivian said firmly, then added, "Young Master, you haven't replied to me yet!"
Ron thought for a moment and said, "Okay, if Vivian succeeds in her breakthrough, I'll take you with me next time."
Going to the North is different from going on a training trip. The mentor is gone, but with Rita protecting him, it's certainly feasible to bring Vivian, who is also at the Master level.
Originally, Ron hadn't planned to bring her along, but recalling those years of training, the look in Vivian's eyes when he first returned to the territory...
Recalling what happened back then, Ron changed his plans.
"But listen to me, my maid, be prepared. Even if he manages to reach the extraordinary level, the place the young master is going to is not safe."
"Great, wonderful! Young Master has agreed." Vivian ignored Ron's words and was overjoyed on her own.
Look at the maid's expression.
Yes! She's still a young girl, but she's just very particular about etiquette, which makes her seem overly formal.
Although Vivian is behaving this way at the moment, she still has the meticulousness of an elder, taking good care of Ron's clothes, staff, and so on.
Is Ron's girlish attitude towards himself a side effect of his own psychological age?
Regardless of his own thoughts, Ron said, "Vivian, get ready. We'll leave tomorrow. I'll take you somewhere."
To achieve a breakthrough, one must naturally choose a suitable location.
The next day.
At dawn, Ron, Little Tower, Uncle Arno, Rita, and Vivian arrived at the teleportation town.
It's been a while since I last visited. After various countries obtained the long-distance teleportation array, this place has been contracted out for many projects.
Every now and then, a small teleportation castle is completed.
Ron led his men to the original teleportation array.
Some time ago, Ron personally helped build the teleportation array, through which he could once again travel to the ruins of the Magic City.
Upon entering the teleportation castle, the guards bowed to Lord Ron.
Since the lord himself was using it, Ron didn't have to wait any longer, and the staff in charge of the teleportation array immediately arrived.
Because of the need to save costs, each transmission should have waited until a certain number of people have been reached.
With the personnel in place, the core of the magic circle was inserted into the magic crystal. As the light of the magic circle changed, Ron, Little Tower, and Rita returned to the magic city of yesteryear.
Ron reached the extraordinary level right here, and now he hopes his maid can do the same.
This was the first time Vivian and Uncle Arno had visited such ruins, and they couldn't help but take a few more glances at their surroundings.
The first thing Uncle Arno saw after leaving the magic circle was the enormous legendary dragon skeleton.
Even the great swordsman Uncle Arno couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Such ruins actually have a guardian dragon!
Vivian's attention was focused on the people around her.
Most of them were explorers from Sandy Territory. After the last international agreement, some people from other territories also came to the ruins of the Magic City.
Following Vivian's gaze, Ron noticed that a number of people had gathered at the edge of the ruins; they must be trying to go outside!
After using his mental perception, Ron also discovered several extraordinary auras in the area.
Most of them are outsiders; if they want to experience the core area of the water element forbidden zone, then let them experience it.
After Ron went into battle, he ignored everything else and headed straight for the underground ruins.
The dungeon of the Magic City was the main attraction, and before long, Ron led his men to the entrance.
The lord's standard entourage was still too conspicuous, and more people followed Ron, but they dared not come forward to inquire because of Ron's noble status as Pope.
Ignoring the trouble that lay ahead, Ron entered the dungeon again.
This is a key area, and the entrance here is guarded by Sandy's guards.
Several guards blocked the newcomers.
The ruins are opened with restrictions, and the specific details are as follows: outsiders who wish to enter the ruins' dungeon must have sufficient knowledge of puppetry, lest some ignorant individuals damage something.
With relevant union certification documents, it is easy to pass through, and these foreign leaders with entry permits are also required to report their findings to Sandy and share relevant research results.
Before coming to the ruins, simply sign a contract with the outsider, witnessed by the God of Contracts.
Given these conditions, and the practice is to maintain this for another thirty years... thankfully, due to the tragic events in history, there won't be any more ancient wars.
Located at another entrance to the underground city, it was the entrance to the trial of the city lord of the Magic City back then.
Because Ron repaired the relevant trials when he came out, the puppeteers and mechanics here are repeating what Ron did back then.
They've got enough to rack their brains for.
Time was still short, and these seekers of knowledge dared not force their way through, so none of them reached the final location yet.
When Ron arrived, he first gave Arno a gesture.
Uncle Arno understood, and the power of the Great Swordsman erupted, a powerful elemental aura pressing down on everyone.
The researchers, who were engrossed in breaking through the barrier, were all jolted awake. Upon looking around, they saw the Pope, the master of this place for thirty years, had arrived.
Ron cleared his throat: "You all, go out first. The chieftain needs to go in and do some things!"
That's incredibly domineering. In short, it means get out, make way, and let me in before you come in!
Although his words were domineering, most of the people present were local talents from Sandy Territory, and most of them immediately obeyed and went out.
Those qualified to be here are all puppeteers of a high level, representing various countries in exploring the magical city. How could they be lacking in knowledge?
There are still about twenty foreign leaders left.
These people were unwilling to accept their fate; they also wanted to enter the core area with the master of this place! But...
Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer.
An elderly puppeteer stepped forward: "Lord Sandy, may we all go in together?"
...
Ron saw the expressions on these people's faces and his impatience was evident.
Without further ado, he took out the papal scepter of the Catholic Church.
With a single strike, he braced himself against the ground with his scepter.
Peng!
"Go, all of you, go. You can come back in later, but don't try to take shortcuts in, or you'll face the consequences."
Alas! The old puppeteer had no choice but to remember the instructions from back home. He obeyed and left. Before long, there were no outsiders left at the scene.
Ron put away the papal scepter and began to decipher the secret again…
In a short time, they broke through multiple trial walls and arrived at the innermost formation of this array.
"Alright, Vivian, go inside and meditate!" Ron said, and Vivian entered the inner formation to meditate.
Meanwhile, Ron was outside repairing the test once again. Recalling the attitude of the people who had led the way before, Ron's mischievous side was stirred, and he secretly added some difficulty to the repair this time.
Let's increase the difficulty of cracking it by more than six months!
Well, there are pros and cons. Being able to solve some of Ron's latest test questions along the way will naturally deepen my understanding of the study of magic and machinery.
As for the time it will take to crack the code, it'll be another six months. Hmph, those guys outside aren't smart enough. Let them worry and test it for a while longer.
Finish.
Ron told Uncle Arno to go out and inform the people outside, while Uncle Arno waited outside.
The spacetime elements are of little use to Uncle Arno.
Just take Uncle Arno with you when you leave.
Within the formation.
Ron returned to this place mainly for Vivian's breakthrough, thinking he would meditate for a while and protect his maid.
The Time-Space Array indicates that the time element is relatively more prevalent in this area.
