Chapter 1501: Big Fish Eat Small Fish, Overtaking on a Bend

Under these circumstances, it was naturally impossible for Kaboer to just walk away because of his older brother's angry words, but since his brother was currently in a fit of rage, he was also unwilling to stubbornly explain anything against the other's fury.

Thus, he said nothing and just silently watched Keluosi with a calm gaze, as if he wanted to use this method to dissipate the anger in his brother's heart.

Seeing this scene, Keluosi could not help but think of the time when he was a child and snuck into their father's Study, only to be punished by him; at that time, Kaboer did not yet dare to do such things, but whenever he heard the crying, he would still run to their father's side, standing silently by him like this to be punished together.

At that time, the phrase their father said most often was, "Keluosi, if only you could be as steady as Kaboer!"

Recalling this now, Keluosi's eyes could not help but grow a bit moist; he gazed at his younger brother's calm eyes, which were the same as always, and the negative emotions in his heart were suddenly purified quite a bit.

"Sorry, Kaboer, I shouldn't have been angry at you!"

But regarding the viewpoint he insisted upon, Keluosi still did not relax at all, "This world is quietly changing; some people have noticed, some have not, and among those who have noticed, some are willing to change themselves to adapt to the world, while others pretend that nothing has happened. Which kind of person are you willing to be?"

Kaboer remained silent, but Keluosi was a bit anxious now; of course, it was not anger, but an urgent desire to be understood.

"Kaboer, what exactly are you doubting? What are you hesitating about?"

"I do not doubt my brother's judgment of the future situation, but what about the others? The others do not believe it; are you going to force them to believe?"

"So that is what you care about!"

Keluosi suddenly realized, "Are you blaming me for not explaining it clearly to the others? No, it is not that I did not explain, nor is it that they do not understand, but that they are simply unwilling to believe!"

As he spoke, Keluosi teleported with Kaboer into an indoor space as huge as a Training Ground.

Kaboer saw at a glance that the space here had undergone multiple expansions, and its original appearance was likely just an ordinary storage room inside a Mage Tower.

But at this moment, this expanded storage room was not a scene of scattered clutter, but rather sixteen experimental benches with Alchemy Arrays placed in a way that seemed chaotic but was actually quite methodical.

Beside every experimental bench stood at least two or three Spellcasters.

At first, Keluosi did not explain, but gradually Kaboer saw the clue; these sixteen experimental benches seemed discrete, but in reality, they were jointly participating in the production of the same Magic Item.

If he had not guessed wrong, it should be the 【Calming Amulet】 of the Verdant Tower!

"Do you see it?"

Keluosi waved his hand, pointing at the scene inside the storage room, and said to Kaboer:

"Through the rearranged production process, the efficiency has increased by a full hundred percent compared to before, and this is only because I have not pulled in more manpower; if it were at full capacity, the efficiency would be even higher, and at the same time, everyone's workload would continue to decrease."

"Do Lord Koch and the others also know about the situation here?"

"Of course they know, how could they not? I told them a long time ago, and believe it or not, they have certainly set up such new workshops themselves!"

Speaking of this, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Keluosi's mouth, "It is just that they do not know that once the operating method of this kind of new workshop spreads, big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp; the Verdant Tower Alliance has a natural foundation for integration. If they are unwilling to accept integration even with this, then in the future, they can only end up as the little shrimp in others' mouths."

"How is this possible?!"

Kaboer was frightened by the future picture painted by his brother; he had originally thought it was just a means of technological progress, but he had not expected the impact to be so profound.

"According to what my brother says, won't the Seven Towers become stronger and stronger in the future? Will the scene of us integrating the interior of the Alliance happen to us ourselves in the future?"

"That is not necessarily so!"

Keluosi shook his head, "The Seven Towers have a huge scale, and the internal interest factions are intertwined; even if one wants to change or wants to integrate thoroughly, it is not something that can be done in a short time! Do you know where I learned this operating method for the new workshop?"

"The Seven Towers?" Kaboer found it hard to believe, but since his brother deliberately said it this way, he was clearly pointing to the Seven Towers.

To this, Keluosi also gave an affirmative answer, "Yes, it is the Seven Towers; come to think of it, this matter is even related to you!"

"Related to me?" Kaboer was even more confused.

"Do you remember those investigation reports you brought back from the Arcane Union? I saw the situation of the Seven Towers' magic materials and personnel changes from them, and I figured out this operating method for the new workshop."

"That can't be, I remember that the Arcane Union does not conduct investigations related to the Seven Towers; how could I have brought back those investigation reports?"

"I am talking about the Mage Towers within the Seven Towers Group, not those seven symbolic towers erected in Seventon."

"I see!"

Once Keluosi said this, Kaboer roughly understood what was going on; the fact that the internal forces of the Seven Towers were intertwined was not just talk. Strictly speaking, almost all Netheril Territories were inseparable from the Seven Towers Group.

Even the Chaneisi Territory where the Verdant Tower was located could be traced back to the Seven Towers in history, but as time passed and the relationship faded, it naturally became estranged.

As long as the Arcane Union did not investigate the secrets of those seven symbolic towers in Seventon, even if they investigated the private Territories and Mage Towers of the Seven Towers Great Arcanists, there was nothing to avoid.

Kaboer remembered that he had indeed brought back investigation reports for his brother regarding magic materials and personnel changes in the territories near Seventon.

It was just that Kaboer did not think he had the insight to find a brand-new workshop operating method from those public investigation reports that almost anyone could obtain.

Perhaps this was the reason why their father ultimately handed the Territory and Mage Tower to his brother, rather than to him, whom he loved more!

"So, this new workshop operating method had already appeared inside the Seven Towers?"

"Yes, it had already appeared, but the Seven Towers is still the Seven Towers of the past, without any changes. Do you think this is our opportunity?"

At this moment, light shone in Keluosi's eyes, looking very much like a Torchbearer before dawn, and his voice became increasingly ethereal, "It is the Seven Cities Council now, but why couldn't it be the Cangcui Tower Council in the future?"

"Brother, be careful with your words!"

"Hehe, I know; only here, and only when facing you, do I dare to reveal my true thoughts slightly. If I said this to Lord Koch and the others, they might accept the deep integration plan I proposed, but it is more likely that these words would spread to every corner of Netheril."

"Then how does my brother plan to treat Lord Koch and the others?" Kaboer asked nervously.

"What else can I do? Do you think I would kill them just because they object? First, integrate those who are willing to accept deep integration; once Koch and the others see the benefits or see the dangers, they will come rushing over themselves!"

Although he said it like that, Keluosi still felt very depressed; who knew how much time would be wasted in this back-and-forth!
