Chapter 809: Chapter 480: Frost (Part 2)
After Colin left the Tilaimei plain, Shelley, as the only third-level wizard in Tilaimei, was entrusted with many affairs by Colin.
Now, with undercurrents surging in Tilaimei, Shelley is more than ever the only stabilizing force.
Lillian was slightly startled, then nodded.
A second-level wizard, no matter where placed, is not a trivial character.
But in the current situation in Tilaimei, such harsh measures must be used to deter those lurking in the shadows.
After a while, Shelley stood up and walked out of the wizard tower with Lillian.
After flying swiftly for a moment,
they arrived outside Golden Barley City.
Here stood many large factories, surrounded by a giant witch array, and everyone entering here undergoes the strictest checks.
Of course, this does not include Lillian and Shelley, who only need simple identity verification.
"Lord Shelley, Lord Lillian."
Soon, a truth society wizard in a white robe, with greying hair, greeted them.
"How is the situation recently, Cezel?" asked Shelley.
"According to the suggestions left by the Lord of Tilaimei, the Golden Barley research base produces a dozen new products almost every day!"
Cezel’s eyes glowed, his tone barely concealing excitement, "I can foresee that each product will stir significant change in Tilaimei, no, across the entire Sia continent!"
"Like the earlier textile machines, and..."
"We need to pause the development of new technologies." Shelley suddenly interrupted Cezel’s words.
"Next week’s auction will not release any new technologies either."
Cezel was slightly taken aback and murmured, "But why, Lord Shelley, spreading those technologies not only fulfills the vision of the Lord of Tilaimei, but is also the best way to achieve the great goal of the Truth Society!"
Shelley calmly looked at Cezel, paused, then said:
"So that we can still develop new technologies in the future that could bring change to the continent."
"Last night, while you were researching new products at the base, I captured three ill-intentioned second-level wizards up north."
Shelley’s gaze was deep, "The mentor is trapped in the Extreme North, and temporarily we can’t guard these precious pieces of knowledge."
"And if we are wiped out, even if those wizards fully obtain all the creations Colin left behind, who can ensure they will work hard to realize those technologies?
Even if they would promote the realization of those technologies, it’s unlikely they would, as we do, push them to spread, bringing change to the entire Sia continent."
"Is the situation really this dire?" Cezel murmured, subconsciously asking:
"Has the Lord of Tilaimei really perished outside the Solid Wall?"
The next moment, he realized and hurriedly whispered an apology.
Shelley and Lillian were silent for a moment, bypassed the topic, and continued to learn about the latest developments at the research base.
They had been busy defending against external invasions and hadn’t visited for several days.
Thankfully, Atbolde and Jennifer managed the political affairs, alleviating a lot of pressure.
However... as long as Colin does not return, the harassment faced by the Tilaimei plain will likely continue.
The third-level power Shelley displayed last night might only deter for a short while.
This land always belongs to that councilman.
If Colin is dead, even if Shelley possesses third-level power, she will never rightfully rule this land.
If the Tilaimei plain continues to show greater value, it’s hard to say who will govern this land.
...
After circling the research base and gaining some understanding, Shelley felt a bit surprised.
Although only half a month had passed since Colin’s departure, this research base had already developed many new products!
With the support of Colin’s manuscripts, coupled with the day-and-night research by a large number of truth society wizards.
The technology of Tilaimei is experiencing a technological explosion.
Every technology and product produced here will bring change to the Siya continent!
’Unfortunately... we need to temporarily slow down.’
These precious pieces of knowledge are also the source of Tilaimei plain’s current undercurrent.
Shelley shook her head, suddenly frowned, and covered her chest.
"What’s the matter?" Lillian’s face changed slightly, immediately supporting Shelley, and asked concernedly.
"Nothing..." Shelley shook her head, but a faint frost suddenly began to spread upwards from her neck.
The biting cold even caused Lillian’s hand, which was pressing against Shelley’s back, to hurt!
Shelley groaned, her eyebrows and cheeks swiftly spreading with frost.
"What’s the matter, Shelley!?" Lillian endured the pain, continuing to support Shelley, releasing the most common healing magic from her hand.
Cezel, standing aside, was initially stunned, then panicked.
"What’s happening to Lord Shelley?"
Shush!
He instinctively cast healing magic on Shelley too.
However, the magical light on Shelley’s body flickered, but it seemed to have no substantial effect.
The white frost was still spreading, nearly covering Shelley’s entire face.
And Shelley’s consciousness was gradually sinking.
"Lord Cezel, the Lord of Tilaimei is visiting, you need to welcome him!"
As Shelley was about to lose consciousness, she vaguely heard a shout coming, and a young wizard ran into her peripheral vision.
