We shouldn't need to worry about being unable to suppress it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True, just treat it like raising a dairy cow. It's no big deal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the group did not quite understand Wheel of Fortune's surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, one by one, they began to reassure him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that everyone had misunderstood, Wheel of Fortune shook his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A hypothesis?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wheel of Fortune's face grew unusually serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think the level of this SS-rank Eye of Cthuya actually is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you even need to ask? Didn't you just say it's SS-rank yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High Priestess looked completely baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she was perfectly familiar with every single word, why did putting them together sound so confusing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, so here is the question. Is it possible that the SS-rank of the Eye of Cthuya doesn't refer to its level, but rather that in the eyes of the world's will, its potential threat has reached the SS-rank?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the bewildered High Priestess, Wheel of Fortune asked in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Potential threat? Not its level?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it wasn't just the High Priestess who was confused; the rest of the group fared no better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although everyone's reading comprehension was fine and they understood the literal meaning of Wheel of Fortune's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because they understood that they were even more baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, tell us what the basis of your theory is,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Magician asked with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me put it this way, I think we might have all gotten the wrong idea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although whether it is monsters, materials, tools, or magical items, their ratings are all marked with letters like A, B, S, and D...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Wheel of Fortune raised a finger and swept a very serious gaze over the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there a possibility that the meaning behind these letters isn't the same thing at all? And that we just preconceived them to be identical?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wheel of Fortune's claim sounded completely absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why did it also feel like there was some reason within the absurdity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of what the others thought, at least Li Huai, a master stonemason who had dealt with monsters for a long time, deeply resonated with this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't think Wheel of Fortune is being unreasonable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Huai's sudden interjection instantly made him the center of attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example, the letters for equipment and tools might truly represent the item's level, but whether they genuinely represent a monster's level is definitely up for debate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing everyone looking at him, Li Huai organized his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Previously, I encountered a monster called a Mountain-Eating Beast. Just like its name suggests, this monster survives by eating mountains and converting them into minerals within its body. It is massive, like a moving wall, and can casually chew out a tunnel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this kind of monster basically has no other means of attack besides turning its fur sharp and shooting it out, so its level is only D-rank.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for this eye, if it weren't completely countered by Tower's gray mist magic, there is a real possibility we could have all been wiped out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take those ancient trees Tower encountered before, for example.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although we don't know what level those ancient trees were, their sap—the substance that allows someone to randomly awaken a magic skill—was only S-rank. So, it is reasonable to deduce that the ancient trees should also be around S-rank existences.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For such ancient trees, which are clearly very strong in both size and ability, to only be S-rank, it can only mean their danger rating is merely S, or perhaps not even S.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because their duty is simply to 'guard', to protect the Star Dragon King's Blood Essence. Since they don't actively attack, their threat level is naturally much lower compared to that giant eyeball.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Supporting this theory are these tears. Because its threat level is SS-rank, the level of the tears is also SS-rank.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This kind of material is fundamentally linked to the monster's own level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Li Huai tapped the syringes Lan Qingyou had piled up beside her, using facts to bolster his idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, that Mountain-Eating Beast. Put that way, it really makes sense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou nodded after listening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even she, the person directly involved, had no idea what level the ancient trees actually were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she only had her Appraisal Glasses at the time, which couldn't appraise that thing at all, and once it was dead, there wasn't much left to appraise either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, based on her years of alchemy experience in processing monster materials, Li Huai's theory that the material's level equals the monster's level should be correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, theoretically speaking, it might be right. But I think we should table this topic for now. When we get back, we'll tell Judgment and have him mobilize the people from the Supreme Council to help investigate. We have more important things to do right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Lan Qingyou, the one who had actually fought the ancient trees, agreed, Li Huai's theory was most likely correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as was said before, they could only provide the theory at best. The bulk of the actual investigation would have to be handed over to someone with the manpower to complete it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the entire Tarot Manor only had a dozen or so people right now, and everyone had their own tasks to attend to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So these peripheral matters were generally left to Judgment and Shang Chuan, guys who actually had underlings to manage them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the Magician simply had everyone drop the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have more important things to do? Like what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High Priestess looked blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That, of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Magician gestured toward the sunken ships resting on the distant seabed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The sunken ships?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, there might be treasure inside them, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Magician nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Judging by the dungeon background we discussed earlier and our route of advancement, since there are sunken ships here too, it means they might belong to the same faction as the Undead General we encountered before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since there were so many magical items around the Undead General, these sunken ships should have some too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore, since this ship is here, it is highly likely that these sunken ships were used to intercept the giant eyeball, buying this ship the time needed to carve and connect the external Sealing Magic array.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since it was an interception mission, both the personnel and the ship loadouts inside should logically be of a higher tier than those ships outside. Look, the hulls are all plated with iron. There might be even more good stuff inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1217,"2026-06-05T21:58:31.955Z",1,"novelbin.me","1b18eef1a9fb949b733ad369dc766073440c11e764d342219ff30e6ded3b1e95","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-233","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-231",965,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-cover.jpg"]
