This snake is undoubtedly a cheat; placing trust in it proves to be the smart move.
...
Supreme Council.
Over twenty mighty presences focused sharply on Levi's account of the Nelarayan civilization, while Edmund kept his eyes shut until Levi wrapped up his words.
Edmund spoke gravely:
"From the current outlook, the Beast Master civilization faces a dire predicament. Though the demons have paused their assaults against us for now, triumphs dominate the other fronts. We need to launch a rescue operation without delay and ask if the leaders of those two civilizations want to merge with Nora. Should we pull it off, the wizard civilization, particularly the School of Spiritualism, will experience explosive growth like never before!"
Rowling responded:
"You're right; after assuming control of the School of Spiritualism, I've uncovered plenty of problems, yet our beginnings came too late. Even I struggle to fix them quickly. The Nelarayan civilization has perfected The Way of Beast Tamer, providing tons of useful lessons."
The Legendary Wizards shared their thoughts on merging the Beast Master civilization, with full backing from all. The key factor remains if the counterpart agrees.
For a civilization of such grand scale, Nora can't compel a union. That approach would summon extra adversaries and hand the Council of Ten Thousand Clans tools and justifications, shattering the positive reputation wizards have laboriously established across the Pan-Plane.
The Barbarian Lords voiced no opposition and consented likewise.
Countless massive beasts roam the Heaven Continent, and picking up beast-taming methods would serve them well, boosting the progress of barbarian clans.
The insightful and veteran Heavenly Will reflected:
"I recall encountering a Beast Master civilization in the Ancient Age; it wasn't known as Nelarayan then, and its top power only reached level 9... Who would've thought they'd advance to level 10 now.
Still, venturing there demands great care. While Nora stands as a super civilization just behind the Four Great Giants today, plenty of major civilizations beyond the Pan-Plane boast multiple level 10 powerhouses.
The Golden Sacred Realm counts as a dominant regional force, surpassing even my tribe at its height. Back in my youth, I clashed with the Golden Will, ruler of the Golden Sacred Realm, and ultimately... I suffered a bitter loss.
This being marks the first progeny of the Origin Divine Tree, the Golden Ancient Tree. I emerged in the Ancient Era, but it surfaced even sooner, at the close of the Ancient epoch, probably claiming a large share of the Origin Will’s power.
I believe... it teeters on the edge of Level 11. If placed among the Pan-Plane's elite, it could match the Fire Sovereign or Void Holy Seat Hera.
A mighty dragon ought not to stir a local serpent; our envoys must steer clear of disputes with powers like that during the Nelarayan visit."
A ripple stirred in Levi's mind.
This Golden Sacred Realm exceeds his expectations in might.
Naturally, enduring from the Ancient times through the Near Ancient and into the present, even a swine might achieve immortality, let alone a sacred tree?
Hearing this, Edmund grinned and remarked:
"Gratitude to the Barbarian Ancestor for sharing this intel... Levi serves as a prime pick for the team heading to Nelarayan. He's versed in the path, possesses solid power, and grasps the context well. Plus, I intend to include another level-10 expert for the talks."
Regardless of Levi's gifts, dispatching a level-9 for these discussions would signal disdain. It calls for someone of equal standing at minimum.
The Frost Witch chimed in:
"Furthermore, Nelarayan lies distant from Nora, and the realm stretches endlessly. Standard star-connection techniques fall short, so Legendary Wizard support becomes essential."
She truly desired the journey.
Yet she, Edmund, and the Heavenly Will form Nora's core trio, each able to stand against late or peak level 10 foes, and so none can depart.
The Black Abyss Sovereign, Survivor of the Vast Sea, Blazing Star God Witch, and similar figures remain occupied with vital duties inside Nora; Gargamel, fresh from his breakthrough, holds a crucial role against the demons and can't venture out lightly.
Individuals such as the Lady of Thunder, Mr. Silver, and the Wind Empress lack familiarity with beast-taming; the rugged Barbarians fit poorly for the mission.
As a result, all eyes turned to a blonde witch in white robes seated quietly in the corner.
Rowling offered a faint smile, stating:
"With no disagreements, I'll head out. For one, I oversee the School of Spiritualism; two, while I don't specialize in beast mastery, I hold broad knowledge of transcendent beings; three, my strengths lie outside frontline fighting. If conflict erupts in Nora during my absence, the fallout should stay limited."
Edmund glanced around the assembly, finding no resistance.
"Very well, Lady Rowling will join. We're after alliance, so dodge clashes with outsiders, and prioritize your safety above all!"
Whoever accompanied him, Levi felt ready.
Rowling suited him fine, given their long years as neighbors.
"Appreciate the faith everyone places in me. I'll begin the preparations!"
Edmund gave a subtle nod.
"Meeting dismissed."
...
Three years passed.
Nora Year 1635, Blood Battle 1523.
Dusk Holy Temple, Jade Elephant Knight Mansion.
"Haha, I've got a son now."
The Jade Elephant Knight burst into delighted laughter, cradling a small boy.
He already had two kids before, both girls, and lingering customs from old times left him feeling the family remained incomplete.
Lying on the bed, a lovely middle-aged woman, drenched in sweat but beaming, observed the father and child. Her spirit swelled with contentment; she was the Heart Moon Spirit Witch Natasha.
Starting as an obscure figure, she toiled relentlessly in practice and study, eventually rising as the inaugural primordial soul wizard from Dream Academy on Ancient Dragon Continent.
