Wizard: I Have a Game Panel-Chapter 368 - 266: "I Want to Show You a Picture.

...

The top floor of the Lor Wizard Tower, in the study.

Having just left the conference hall, Lor, who was preparing to take a good look at the River of Time Scroll, suddenly noticed a faint noise coming from the Continent Communication Device he had just put into his Space Ring.

With Spiritual Power probing inside, he found a strange communication request without the special identifier of a legislator or speaker.

"Hmm?" Lor raised an eyebrow, clicking agree to connect with a hint of curiosity.

Logically, no wizard besides the legislator speaker should know his communication number, so this sudden unknown communication was indeed somewhat baffling.

The light screen expanded.

"Gr...greetings, Speaker Lor." A middle-aged wizard unfamiliar to him bowed respectfully, seemingly stuttering due to nervousness.

"How did you..." Lor was about to ask how this little guy knew his communication number when he saw the shadow of an old acquaintance in the slight angles of this middle-aged wizard’s face.

That acquaintance had passed away a long time ago, about three thousand years.

The favor owed at Cooper Wizard Tower was never claimed by that guy, leaving the past him puzzled for a while. Turns out it was meant to be passed on to descendants.

This calculation was indeed quite clever.

"Are you Bruno’s descendant?" Lor’s lips curled slightly as he asked, reminiscing about the years of rising to power.

"Y...yes, Speaker Lor, I am the seventeenth generation descendant of my ancestor Bruno Parker, Zeb Parker." Zeb felt a weight lifted off his heart and began to speak more smoothly.

Since he remembered his ancestor, what he sought was likely secured.

"Heh, that guy could really plan, leaving a favor for so long," Lor laughed, "Tell me, what do you want?"

"Great Speaker Lor, I wish to take on the task of managing the interplane Magic Crystal Ore, but that task requires at least a Third Ring. I hope you... you..." Zeb’s words got stuck here.

How should he say it?

Hope you could make an exception?

Hope you could open a back door?

It didn’t sound right!

As he pondered, beads of cold sweat unknowingly seeped from his back.

At this moment, he greatly regretted his previous impulsiveness, as he hadn’t considered how to properly make his request to Speaker Lor before initiating the communication.

Most importantly, he didn’t expect Speaker Lor to connect so quickly!

He initially thought if the communication didn’t connect, he would leave a message and try his luck...

"You want to take on the interplane Magic Crystal Ore management task?" Lor raised an eyebrow, "Why?"

That task wasn’t a good position at all...

Well, if he manages to delay it until over two thousand years, by the time Zeb fails to break through to the Fourth Ring, everything would be irrelevant to him.

But once he breaks through the Fourth Ring, there will be risks coming along.

"I want to rely on the reward from the interplane Magic Crystal Ore task, the magic crystals, to assist my meditation, gaining a chance to break through to the Fourth Ring." Zeb hurriedly replied, feeling relieved now.

Fortunately, Speaker Lor didn’t hold his misspeaking against him.

"What’s going on?" Lor asked, somewhat surprised, "When did Bruno’s family fall to the point where they can’t afford magic crystals to support cultivation?"

Recalling how, when he had just left Cooper Wizard Tower, Bruno was the representative legislator of Cooper.

In terms of status, it was much higher than most Third Ring wizards.

He could understand if Bruno’s descendants couldn’t afford Divine Power Crystals to enhance Spiritual Power, but not being able to afford magic crystals was a bit absurd, right?

"It’s just our incompetence,"

Zeb smiled bitterly, "For over three thousand years, our family has not produced a single exceptional genius, living off the ancestral wealth which, lasting until now, is already quite fortunate."

"In my generation, there isn’t even a direct descendant with wizard talent."

He didn’t mention the collateral branches, although there were some Third Ring wizards among them, they were ultimately just collateral, not much related to him.

If it came to a matter of life or death, he might ask them for help, but the current situation didn’t include that.

"So your purpose this time is to gain a chance to break through the Fourth Ring?" Lor continued to ask.

Bruno’s family falling so quickly within four thousand years was unexpected to him. Considering the old favor, he naturally wouldn’t hesitate to help if he could.

"Yes." Zeb nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of hope.

"Let’s do it this way."

Lor smiled, "I’ll cover the magic crystals you need to cultivate to the Third Ring limit, just approach Kateya for them, her communication number is 758...."

"Besides, when you formally advance to Third Ring, you can approach Speaker Cooper for evaluation to tailor an Elemental Analysis Problem set for you."

"That’s all I can help with. Whether you can eventually become a Fourth Ring depends on your own efforts."

He wouldn’t let this little guy take on tasks to save for magic crystals; it would be disgraceful if that spread out.

Using a chance to advance to the Fourth Ring to settle the favor promised to Bruno back then wasn’t a bad deal.

"Thank you, Speaker Lor." Zeb bowed deeply again, his heart filled with joy.

He initially thought he’d have to save up magic crystals for his cultivation gradually, but never expected this prominent figure to cover all his future cultivation resources effortlessly.

And additionally, he’d been given an even more precious opportunity to seek the Tower Master for a tailored Elemental Analysis Problem set.

Without connections, such an opportunity cannot be exchanged for any amount of magic crystals, yet he obtained it easily like this.

After some time, no more sounds came from Lor on the light screen. When he looked up, he found the light screen had disappeared.

Evidently, Speaker Lor had already disconnected the communication.

"It’s just like a dream!" Zeb straightened up, a smile unknowingly spreading across his face, his joy indescribable.

...

The top floor of the Lor Wizard Tower, in the study.

After disconnecting from Zeb, Lor made a communication call to Speaker Cooper, explaining Zeb’s situation and offering a ton of Ash Vine Plane Fire and Wood Dual Element Ore as payment.

Cooper naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

The Ash Vine Stone is produced in the Ash Vine Plane, a subordinate plane of the Wizard Plane, extremely precious, with the whole plane producing only one to two tons in a thousand years, having numerous uses.

Its most important use is for slightly altering the properties of the Fire and Wood Elements, making them more harmonious.

All the Ash Vine Stones dispersed outside were collected by him, and only Lor and the Alliance Central Library still had some. Lor was eager to exchange it with him to create an Elemental Analysis Problem set, to his utmost delight.

After processing past favors, Lor let out a light breath, casting his gaze on the River of Time Scroll hanging on the opposite wall.

"Swish—"

Once he focused all his mind on the River of Time Scroll, the sound of the river surging echoed in his ears again.

From time to time, strands of Time Rune Fragments would emerge from the depths of the river, then disappear in an instant.

Even with his reaction speed, if he did not concentrate on one area but viewed the whole picture, he couldn’t fully capture the appearance of those rune fragments.

"I can see the Time Rune Fragments in the River of Time Scroll, but can other wizards see them?" After closely observing the River of Time Scroll, an audacious thought suddenly emerged in Lor’s mind.

After pondering for a brief moment, he decisively took out his communication device and initiated a communication request to Francis.

He couldn’t fully capture all the Time Rune Fragments, so why not call in more people?

Currently, his efficiency in obtaining Time Runes was the most important matter for the entire Wizard Alliance, without exception.

As long as they could help accelerate the acquisition of Time Runes, he believed no speaker would refuse.

As for why he didn’t let his students...

If even he could barely capture the Time Rune Fragments, then it was out of the question for his students.

Soon, the communication connected, a light screen appeared before Lor.

"Speaker Lor, is there something else?" Francis asked with uncertainty in the light screen.

"I want you to look at a picture." Lor got straight to the point, turning to project the River of Time Scroll hanging on the opposite wall into the Continent Communication Device.
