Whoosh!
Traveling through a fairly stable void passage.
The next second.
Under Popeās guidance, directly to the Egypt region where Mi University is located.
As long as one steps into this area, they will be monitored by Mi University, even if that guy is very daring he wouldnāt dare to pursue here... Once a [Dangerous Individual] marked by Mi University steps on this land, even the Vice-Chancellor will personally descend to target them.
As everyone got out.
Han Dong naturally placed his arm on Popeās shoulder.
"Pope, why are you here?"
In fact, Han Dong also truly didnāt know why drawing a void formation led to Popeās arrival... He hadnāt told anyone about this operation.
Bam!
A small void explosion erupted right at the shoulder, blowing Han Dongās hand away.
Pope naturally couldnāt admit that he had kept an eye on Han Dongās departure, so he earnestly said:
"Do you remember what we discussed in the library about the āGreat Contributionā?"
Hearing this, Han Dongās pupils widened.
"Huh? Such a coincidence?"
"It really is that coincidental. The matter concerning [Francis Morgan] involves Mi Universityās top secrets, and itās precisely the target I brought you into our fold for. Weāll discuss more once weāre back at the university.
Our internal sources have said Morgan appeared on the Zothique Continent, and our organization sent me to gather intelligence, only to find you and Sally were also on the island.
But what happened on the Zothique Continent far exceeded expectations.
Things have become complicated,
M.O. was defeated, the Zothique Continent submerged, and the "King Level Land Deed" was stolen. This news will spread around the world in a short time... our actions might be moved up.
Iāve recommended you to the team, you need to meet the organizers as soon as possible."
"Alright, thereās still one more thing I need to handle outside, Iāll hurry back."
"Got it..."
At this moment, Popeās gaze was immediately drawn to a special human.
A powerful human capable of directly confronting Professor Morgan in the Skeleton Storage Place.
The knight armor draped on him was so complex that even Pope couldnāt analyze the structure and operating principles in a short time.
"Nicholas, who is this?"
"Mr. Newton, he holds the power core of the Holy City, itās the foundational technical support of our city... right, the [Infinite Energy] that played a crucial role during the London Game was Mr. Newtonās creation."
Pope had never been to the human capital city.
Although he had witnessed the power of several top human experts during the [London Game],
he had never seen a technological talent like Mr. Newton... Moreover, it involved the Infinite Energy, which sparked Popeās interest.
Pope was completely open to knowledgeable talents, without any racial biases or distinctions.
He proactively extended his semi-transparent starry right hand, shaking Mr. Newtonās somewhat cold, leather-gloved hand that lay between body and machinery.
"Mr. Newton, are you interested in being a [Visiting Scholar] at Mi University?
I can serve as your referrer. As long as you donāt breach Mi Universityās confidentiality agreement, the school wonāt impose major restrictions on visiting scholars, and youāll have dedicated portals for returning to the human city."
An unexpected gain.
Mr. Newton seriously reviewed the related agreements, conducted a detailed cost-benefit analysis, and agreed.
Although a partnership with M.O. couldnāt be achieved,
if we establish a knowledge exchange with Mi University, perhaps greater technological gains can be acquired.
Moreover, the path to M.O. hasnāt been entirely severed...
The plan Han Dong temporarily devised at the [Skeleton Storage Place] hasnāt been executed yet,
If it reaches the expected outcome, both Mr. Newton and Han Dong will receive technical support far exceeding their expectations.
Everything about the plan revolves around the mysterious Professor Morgan.
And to Han Dongās delight, the "Great Contribution" is also related to this... Thus, connecting all matters together.
"Nicholas, why donāt you come back to Mi University with me now, and meet with the organizers early?"
"I reckon the organizers are of at least mythic level.
I suspect some of them might hold certain prejudices against me? Since the action hasnāt started yet, why not give me some more time to improve myself and hopefully leave a good impression when we meet."
"Itās up to you,
Itās just that due to the [Zothique Continent] affair, the action may commence at any time."
Speaking of which,
Pope extended his hand to draw a void marker on Han Dong.
"If the action proceeds to the preparation stage in advance, Iāll come find you personally."
"Alright."
And so,
The group split into two, Pope led Mr. Newton to Mi University.
Han Dong, meanwhile, had another matter to attend to, and Sally, of course, chose to stay by his side.
Before setting off, Sally expressed a bit of concern:
"From what Pope just said, it seems youāre going to be involved in quite a dangerous event... Iāve heard the rumors of the "Great Contribution" during my studies.
Itās typically a perilous event that only mythic bodies or senior professors can handle. Are you really fit to be involved right now?"
Han Dong suddenly turned around, rubbing one of Sallyās horns, he solemnly said:
"[Time] is running out. If I canāt seize the opportunities before me, when a real crisis hits, Iām afraid I wonāt even have the ability for self-protection.
Sally, you need to make the most of every moment too, strive to improve yourself as much as possible, because in about five or ten years, there will be significantly dangerous events occurring.
If thereās any news from the Black Forest, tell me immediately.
I imagine if [Mother] can recover, it will greatly benefit you too."
"Mm~ By the way, you said you have things to do outside? Are you returning to the human capital?"
"No... meeting Mr. Newton is enough.
I need to pursue further studies, Sally, do you know where the Crowmanās lair is?"
"Skeettis, I know that!
Itās much better compared to the stinking, decaying Zothique Continent... Letās set off, we can go directly through the nearest demon portal point."
...
The Zothique Continent affair spread worldwide.
Due to involving the āTraitor - Francis Morganā, Mi University itself was also under immense pressure.
The Vice-Chancellor couldnāt sit still and directly summoned the special team organized in secret, requesting to advance the action date,
The universityās diplomatic department also expended significant funds to try to block subsequent spread and fermentation of the event.
However,
The defeat of M.O. also drew the direct focus from many lower-class Old Kings.
The lower-class Old Kings and some powerful hidden forces began actively collecting information on [Morgan]... they even sent exploration teams to investigate remote and unknown planets.
Some large-scale, well-known neutral cities even issued a top-tier bounty order.
Anyone who could bring back the traitorās corpse would receive a hefty reward.
However, the higher-tier existences didnāt intervene... they didnāt even pay attention to the destruction of the Zothique Continent, merely observing everything quietly.
