Chapter 1407

Su Han slightly raised his eyebrows and nodded thoughtfully.

Since he hadn't even shown up at the scene, he only received a base 100-point reward; he clicked his tongue but said nothing, only glancing at Artoria.

"Since the matter is settled, we should return."

The Gem Elder's ears twitched slightly; returning meant going back to their homeland—but where exactly was the homeland of these monsters? Still, though the Gem Elder was intensely curious,

in this state, he remained silent and did not speak.

Mainly because he feared drawing Su Han's attention.

If Su Han decided to settle accounts over his spying, he'd be utterly helpless.

"Chief… you're leaving already?"

Artoria's excited expression faltered, then a hint of disappointment surfaced on her face; but after thinking it over, she nodded seriously.

Though Artoria was extremely naive, she at least understood that Su Han and the others had come to help her.

Though she very much wanted to host Su Han, since he and the others had made up their minds to leave, she had no reason to plead with them to stay.

Artoria hesitated for a long time, and in the end could only say one thing.

"Then… wish you a safe journey!"

Su Han smiled faintly, then clicked "Submit Task" in his mind.

In the next instant, brilliant light enveloped Su Han, Lancer, and Alcador; in a single breath, all of them vanished.

The Gem Elder remained silent for a long while, scrutinizing the empty void repeatedly, finally confirming he could detect no trace of how Su Han and the others had disappeared.

This was a phenomenon beyond his understanding.

With a faint sigh, the Gem Elder turned to gaze at the melancholy Artoria; he opened his mouth to ask about Su Han and the others, but remembering their power, the words stuck in his throat.

What if, the moment he asked, Su Han sensed it and returned instantly?

What if he beat me to a pulp? Don't say it's impossible—Su Han and the others' strength clearly towered above his.

Who could know what kind of power such beings possessed? After a long look at Artoria, the Gem Elder shook his head and vanished directly into the void.

……Meanwhile, Su Han opened and closed his eyes, and was already back in his home.

Luo Cuilian smiled faintly, gazing at Su Han.

She had been monitoring the Guild's live stream and naturally knew roughly when Su Han would return.

Su Han nodded to Luo Cuilian, then lay back on the bed and entered the Guild chat room, beginning his lazy life.

Luo Cuilian didn't mind.

Marquis: "Alright! The Guild task is completed.

Has anyone started the Third Method's trial? Tell me what effect it has. White Beard: "I'm very curious too! Could it really turn someone directly into a Magus, immortal and ageless?"

Wei Bo: "I've tried it. Aside from a massive increase in soul power and a huge surge in magical energy, my thinking became clearer.

My magical aptitude improved… but nothing else changed."

Wei Bo's smile slowly faded.

Right after Su Han and the others completed the task, they submitted it and experienced the Third Method.

The result… was deeply frustrating.

The system brutally forced him to test the Third Method, letting him feel its basic operation within his body.

Then it kicked him straight back to reality.

With the system's help, Wei Bo naturally had a sudden epiphany—he felt he understood it. But once detached from the system's aid… what exactly was the principle of this magic? Wei Bo admitted he was clueless.

Once, a chance to master magic lay before him, and he didn't cherish it; only after losing it did he regret it bitterly.

Nangong Naye: "……Magic talent improved! Soul power improved! Magical energy improved! With such significant changes, what more do you want?"

Nangong Naye, sipping black tea, twitched her lips, thinking this was the classic case of greed exceeding capacity.

Wei Bo: "……That does make sense."

After thinking it over, Wei Bo nodded.

Nangong Naye was right—this outcome was already quite good; he'd just been along for the ride anyway.

Alcador: "I haven't started the Third Method's trial yet, so I won't speak."

Saint Joan: "Same here—I haven't started yet. I'll go test it now."
