Pera said, "However, there's no work for you in the lab today. Those of you who returned from this grand gathering will be given an extra three days of rest in our labs; this was a special instruction from the envoys. Since I didn't have your contact information, it was originally Fia who notified you. However, she seems to still be resting and couldn't inform you in time."
"It's alright, I was just thinking of coming to the lab anyway."
Leo said, "Witcher Pera, may I go and see the flying pumpkins in my field in one of the groups?"
"Of course, that's no problem."
Leo bid farewell to Pera and went to his field.
At first glance, the nine-square grid of fields still exudes a sense of joy and harmony.
However, Leo saw the hidden risks involved.
If Leo allows the field to remain in this state, the environment will deteriorate in two weeks, and in severe cases, it could even damage the foundation of the field.
However, all of this was within Leo's expectations.
The arrangements made before the grand assembly were intended to be a transitional period for Leo.
Leo entered the field, made a brief adjustment, and then left Pera's research lab.
Leo had already prepared the work arrangements for this field before the grand gathering, and it would only take a little time to complete them.
After Leo returned, the lizardman servant at the door respectfully said, "Wizard Leo, your room's communication devices have been ringing continuously since you left. Would you like me to write down all these people's numbers and information for you?"
Leo said, "Okay. Next time you encounter a similar situation, just do it this way."
The lizardman servants responded respectfully.
"Yes, Master Leo."
Soon, the lizardmen servants compiled the list.
Leo glanced at the wizard introductions on these lists.
It's clear that the lizardmen servants are experienced in this area.
The list he provided included not only the wizards' names, but also which gathering they came from and their wizarding rank.
Leo glanced at it briefly.
He skipped over the unfamiliar names in that row, which were either second-class or even third-class wizard apprentices.
However, it was a few communications from unfamiliar first-class wizard apprentices. Leo hesitated for a moment before sending them.
Most of the names in this communication were unfamiliar.
However, some of Leo's acquaintances also contacted him.
"Nova Wizard, Yellow Earth Wizard..."
After a moment's thought, Leo first connected to the communication with the wizard Nova.
"Hello, Wizard Nova, I am Leo."
"Oh, Leo, long time no see. You've become quite the busy man." Nova Wizard's voice came from the other end, his words tinged with a hint of teasing.
Nova said, "I know you just got back from the Grand Summoning and must be very busy, so I'll keep it short. Leo, do you remember the favor you owe me?"
"Of course, without you, Wizard Nova, I wouldn't be who I am today."
"Very good." Nova's voice carried a hint of satisfaction. He said, "I came to you this time because of this favor. Leo, I have a third-class wizard apprentice student here, who is studying necromancy."
"Recently, he took on a mission to explore ruins near the Crimson Sea. I'd like to assign him a bodyguard, and I'm wondering if you'd be willing to take on this task. I can offer 10,000 magic stones as payment. If you're willing to take on this mission, it will be a way of repaying my favor."
Leo was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.
It's not that Leo is arrogant, but his status is completely different now than before.
His favor was not insignificant.
Nova could even use this favor to secure a spot for any research opportunity with Leo.
However, Nova used his personal favor to protect one of his third-class wizard apprentices.
Leo said, "No problem."
"Okay, this is my student's contact number. I'll have him contact you himself later."
Nova hesitated for a moment before saying, "This time, the ruins they're exploring aren't particularly dangerous, but they might encounter some valuable ancient texts. Leo, if you manage to find any ancient texts there, I'm willing to offer you a price that will satisfy you to purchase them."
Upon hearing this, Leo chuckled inwardly.
This is the Nova wizard I know.
Leo shook his head.
He vaguely understood Nova's thoughts.
Although Leo's favor was valuable, in the eyes of this book-loving wizard, it was not as precious as some books from the old era.
Leo asked, "Any kind of book is fine?"
"Yes, any kind of book is fine. Even just some historical records can be resold to me."
"Yes, Wizard Nova."
Leo quickly ended his communication with Nova and arranged a time.
The date is set for the day after tomorrow.
This escort mission will last for two days.
Perfect timing! When I get back, I can continue my work in Pera's lab.
Leo then reconnected with Huang Tu's communications.
"Hello, Earth Wizard, I am Leo."
Huang Tu's voice rang out: "Wizard Leo, I didn't expect you to reply so quickly. I thought you'd be two or three days late. After all, there must be a lot of people eyeing you these days."
Leo simply smiled upon hearing this.
Huang Tu said, "Haha, Wizard Leo, I'm contacting you this time for two reasons. First, to congratulate you on obtaining the title of Genius Wizard. Second, to thank you. I heard from Alice that when she planned to return halfway through the operation, you considered her life and agreed to abandon the Grand Gathering. I am deeply grateful for that."
Leo smiled and said, "Yellow Earth Wizard, you flatter me. Bringing Alice along this time was a deal with you. Now that I have what I wanted, Alice's life is naturally my top priority."
Huang Tu simply smiled after hearing this.
Leo's statement that he would consider it first was definitely just a polite remark.
Huang Tu said, "Then, the third point is about Wizard Leo. Regarding the invitation from Shafi, the official wizard behind our Yalong Club, what has your opinion?"
Upon hearing this, Leo pondered for a moment before asking, "Yellow Earth Wizard, what do I need to do if I join the Dragon Club?"
"I also need to explain this to you in detail."
"The rumors circulating about our Yalong Club are that we have monopolized most of the rare and precious materials and driven up market prices. I admit that we have indeed done so."
"However, our main task at the Yalong Club is to take on missions to fight against wandering wizards, acting as combat wizards."
"In this regard, I feel that we should have common ground with you as a Protoss wizard."
Leo said, "I'm sorry about that. Actually, I'm an anomaly among the Pros, and I'm not a battle maniac."
Leo didn't say it explicitly, but the implication was that he refused.
