Chapter 10: Going back first, there's a person stewing in the pot

"It really is all Magic, nothing else..."

Looking at the Holy Grail floating in his hand, radiating countless rays of light, Li Ang raised his eyebrows in some surprise.

Compared to those holy relics in his memory, the holy relic now in Li Ang's hand clearly possessed more unique functions, and could even be said to have an effect that directly influenced the entire territory.

The interior of this exquisite and beautiful golden cup was always brimming with a verdant liquid; countless auras of Magic were captured by the territory and, through an incomprehensible method, diffused throughout the entire territory, replenishing the physical strength of everyone.

Likewise, this was also the reason Li Ang let those Norscans go to work.

Permanently maintaining high energy might not look like much, but in reality, it was an heaven-defying level of intensity.

The high energy brought by the Holy Grail could even allow people to be tireless on the battlefield, so going to work was clearly no problem. Facts also proved that his judgment was not wrong.

The only slight regret was that high energy could only shorten a portion of sleep time, and could not eliminate the need for sleep. After all, sleep time was the human body's self-maintenance, while high energy was merely physical strength; the two could not be interchanged.

But this was also a starting point.

If a single Holy Grail could bring such intensity, then what kind of intensity and abilities could all the magical races of this world, along with their Wonders and items, bring?

Although there were negative effects, such as a crusade against the Holy Grail by the Knight Errant from overseas in two months, Li Ang did not care about this.

To put it bluntly, I'm already cheating, and you're telling me this?

This was given by my cheat; I'm cheating, and I still have to endure it, still have to be servile to others, still have to keep my mouth shut about the "big picture"?

I'm already cheating, I've even thrown away my shame, and you're telling me this? If I weren't cheating, I'd be servile; if I am cheating, I'm still servile—then wasn't my cheating in vain? Holding a Planet Wonder, and even the Landing Site that is currently building a Wonder, it will absolutely be able to turn into an unimaginably great city within the time Li Ang can foresee. What can a group of knights do? Knight Titans are another matter.

Continuing to enjoy the hyperspatial comfort brought by the Old Ones Core Area, Li Ang felt his spirit extending across the vast territory, and he closed his eyes with some comfort.

But not long after, a reminder originating from another system interrupted his train of thought.

"Your survival time has exceeded twelve hours, please prepare for teleportation."

Ah, time is almost up...

Happy times are always very short.

Li Ang, floating in mid-air, had his expression change; he unhappily recalled another part of his settings.

He was not the incarnation of this Norsca Tribe civilization's consciousness, nor was he the true civilization will; he was a Descender in this world. He still had to go back and report later.

Tsk, I must develop a will-transfer ability in the future.

Li Ang released himself from the zero-gravity mode with some displeasure. And at the moment that network dissipated, he saw a middle-aged man standing at the doorway with a nervous look on his face.

Upon discovering that the invisible force field had dissipated, this man was startled. But he still instinctively puffed out his chest and raised his head, smoothed back the withered yellow hair on his head, and revealed a proper smile as he looked at the bored-looking Li Ang.

"Greetings, my lord. I am—"

"Oh, you are a captive brought by the Norscans?"

"Ye, yes..."

The man who arrived was wearing clothing that was clearly just made, and he looked somewhat restrained in front of Li Ang, revealing an awkward smile.

"I, I am indeed a person brought by the Norscans, my lord, but I am also a firm believer in the Lady of the Lake. If you don't mind, I would like to introduce to you the Lady of the Lake whom we worship."

"Hm? I don't really care about such things, and my relationship with Humans will not be severed because of things like faith. However, I have something to do and will be leaving for a while. You tell those Norscans that after they finish the Stonehenge, they should go out and explore the outside world more."

"Eh...?"

Looking at the stunned man, Li Ang shrugged and said straight out: "Humans are an extension of my will. In other words, I have no way to perceive this world and still need you all to help me. We are one, understand?" "But, my lord—"

"That's that, I'm leaving first."

Patting the shoulder of the terrified man, Li Ang walked into the secret room without hesitation.

Then, looking at the surprised man, he instantly locked the room's permissions, and subsequently disconnected his consciousness link without hesitation.

The moment he disconnected from the mental realm, it was as if he had crossed countless light-years in the blink of an eye, as if he were flowing continuously within some vast system.

The vision and environment before his eyes instantly twisted into a bubble, and then reconstructed before Li Ang's eyes. The Old Ones secret room, originally full of sci-fi flavor, turned into a dense area in the blink of an eye.

That was the structure of the lecture hall that Li Ang had been incomparably familiar with in his past life.

It was also the structure he hated most in this life.

"Boring world..."

Li Ang sighed in his heart.

And dozens of people were sitting on chairs, turning their heads to look at Li Ang, who had opened his eyes, with subtle expressions.

Without even needing to think, Li Ang knew that he was likely the last individual to find the secret room and wake up.

And this kind of situation often meant that the environment he was in was extremely unsafe.

Among the crowd looking at each other, the male student who looked the most sunny revealed a smile that seemed very enthusiastic and extended his palm toward the silent Li Ang.

"Li Ang, why don't you state your traversal mark and region? If we're lucky, we might even be able to become companions!"

"Norscans, dragon boat captives, and a snowfield with absolutely no living things. The most typical high-risk area. And stranded, too."

"Ah, this... no, it's fine, you'll encounter it in the future."

The boy sitting in front immediately revealed a subtle expression, but one that could not suppress his secret joy.

The resources a class could obtain were limited.

During the pioneering period when resources were tight, only those who huddled together in large Human cities could obtain resource allocation and the exchange of low-level information.

Unlucky people like Li Ang, who were born in the Norsca snowfields, had basically been listed as untouchables.

And Li Ang himself also sighed in a very gregarious manner and stood up without hesitation.

"Sorry, I'm leaving first."

Making the move that matched the expectations of these competitors, Li Ang shook his head and left the classroom under everyone's subtle gazes.

"Wait a second, there's still the teacher's help declaration! Maybe there's still some money!"

"Shut your mouth, don't waste it..."

The boy in the back shouted very nervously, but was held in place by others.

And after glancing at those individuals he finally called classmates, Li Ang shook his head and walked out of this place he called a school without changing his expression.
