Chapter 1378: Coincidence, The Compilation Group

~7 min read 1,305 words

Just as Yilisier Mianwang was re-screening his supporters, Faluo stood on a suspended balcony within Kemansuoer City, gazing at the tall, profound Tower of Governance in the distance, sighing silently in his heart.

"Could Yilisier Mianwang truly be the Sole True King who will unify the Elf World as prophesied?"

Things in this world are truly coincidental; not long ago, Faluo, dissatisfied with the growing prestige of the Mianwang, was planning to strike at his reputation on the grounds that he had made too many concessions during the Northland Alliance negotiations.

Yet, he did not expect the other party to suddenly change his attitude and publicly announce his support for "Five-Race Prosperity," which made Faluo hesitate—not that he supported "Five-Race Prosperity" himself.

Rather, "Five-Race Prosperity" could bring Yilisier many new supporters, especially within the organization he was currently running in the name of the Main God!

Most of the high-level Gold Elf Mages in Kemansuoer were supporters of the Mianwang; even with the Main God's instruction, Faluo did not dare to recruit too many high-level Gold Elf Mages into the organization, choosing mostly high-level Moon Elf Mages instead.

But now, Yilisier had publicly announced his support for "Five-Race Prosperity" on a very formal international occasion; how could Faluo still command the Moon Elves to strike at Yilisier's prestige?

In the past, while Yilisier certainly insisted on the Great Elfism of Golden Elf Supremacy, his attitude toward high-level Moon Elf Mages had been quite friendly; it was only for the sake of their families that those high-level Moon Elf Mages had been forced to stand against Yilisier.

Now, also for the sake of their families, it was entirely possible they would sell Faluo out.

Under these circumstances, Faluo's original plan naturally fell through completely; from now on, he would even have to be extra careful with the members of the organization he had built to avoid exposing his true thoughts.

"Sigh—"

Faluo took one last look at the Tower of Governance in the distance, then returned to the banquet to continue drinking and making merry with the members of his organization.

After the banquet, he decided to focus his future efforts mainly on the Main God's Oracle, and he was already considering whether to use the organization's support for Yilisier as a condition to ask him to help contact more high-level mages who had not yet participated in the Omniscience Ritual.

This could barely be considered a win-win situation.

Otherwise, if things dragged on, the Kemansuoer members within the organization might soon support Yilisier in their private capacities, and by then, it would have nothing to do with him, Faluo!

On the other side, in the southern part of Netheril, Daxia Territory.

Northeast of Linshui Village, near Code Plaza, a second-generation Daxia Territory standard residence with brick walls and a wooden roof had now been newly built.

The base for the Enlightenment Book Compilation Group, led by Yatewude, Aideliqi, and Jibusen, was located here; however, according to Xia Duo's instructions, besides needing to compile the Enlightenment Book, which combined the New Natural Philosophy and magic enlightenment Knowledge, they had other tasks.

Like today, most of the compilation group had gone to the Savile Territory to organize and supervise the People's Mutual Aid Association at the construction site of the Daxia-Saville Passage, leaving only Jibusen and a female Mage named "An Ni" here.

Of course, they were not left here to do nothing; perhaps in the eyes of the two of them, going to the construction site to organize labor might have been easier.

"Uncle Jibusen, what is 'north'? Sister An Ni told me to ask you!"

"Ah!"

Jibusen yanked his hair fiercely, rubbed his cheeks hard, and forced a smile, "Little Jamie, you are still young; you will know when you are older."

Providing magic enlightenment for the children of the Territory was also one of the tasks of the compilation group, though in principle, the compilation group only accepted children over 10 years old, serving as a preparatory class for Tower of Time Apprentices.

But the reality was that Daxia Territory was still in a state of constant development; once the residents knew there was such a place to bring their children, they dumped them all here regardless of whether they were over 10 or not.

This little Jamie was actually quite good; he was already four years old and at least wouldn't cry or defecate everywhere at will. Just thinking about the scene filled with the fragrance of feces and urine and wailing, Jibusen couldn't help but shudder.

Fortunately, the Territory's Logistics Department had sent personnel to specifically take care of those children who could not take care of themselves, otherwise, he and An Ni would have nothing to do, and just changing diapers for the little brats would have made him lose all his hair!

"Uncle, Uncle Jibusen, just tell me now, please!"

When a cute human cub acted spoiled, even Jibusen, with his firm will, couldn't help but soften, saying gently, "Then you have to call me brother, and I will teach you!"

"Uncle is Uncle, Uncle is not brother, I'm going to find Sister An Ni!"

After saying this, little Jamie wobbled toward another room, leaving Jibusen looking dazed. But then, as if he had remembered something, he turned his head abruptly to look at the group of teenagers in the room; his gaze swept over them, but none dared to meet his eyes.

This scene made Jibusen somewhat disappointed; compared to dealing with little Jamie who knew nothing, he hoped more that these teenagers, who had already initially established their own worldviews, would come to ask him questions.

Unfortunately, being older also meant being more influenced by reality.

However, Jibusen was not discouraged; he himself was born and raised in the old era, yet he had now accepted the advanced ideas of the Progress Society. Compared to him, these teenagers had better conditions!

He had enough time and enough patience to wait for these teenagers to grow up!

The Enlightenment Class continued, and Jibusen, based on his memory and his own understanding, spoke off-the-cuff about the parts of the Enlightenment Book that had already been compiled:

"Elves are a species very similar to humans, but their builds are more slender, their ears are longer, and their skin is also different."

"The skin of a Gold Elf is pale gold, while a Moon Elf's is white,..."

While speaking, Jibusen also used Spellcasting to summon corresponding images based on the content; compared to verbal descriptions, these Magic Images were more popular with these teenagers.

Looking at the expectant eyes of these teenagers, all of which were shining, Jibusen felt a sense of fulfillment in his heart.

Near dusk, the various Working Groups of the Development Department had finished their work one after another, and residents came to the compilation group from time to time to pick up their children.

Seeing that the Enlightenment Class could no longer continue, Jibusen simply dismissed all the teenagers and stood outside the large house himself.

Watching the scene of the teenagers returning home, either accompanied by their parents, with their siblings, or alone, Jibusen smiled happily—

Tomorrow he could also go home to take a look!

His home was in the Savile Territory; if it weren't for the task of organizing the Villager Mutual Aid Association, it would not have been an easy thing for him to go back.

And his main purpose for going back this time was to persuade his father to agree to let his younger brother and sister study magic.

The current apprentice contract of the Tower of Time was not harsh, and he himself had the ability to provide for the family's daily expenses, so there was really no need to delay his brother and sister's studies because of this.
