As for Erza, it seemed like she had weakened his relationship with her, but in reality, it was a plus. On one hand, she did not need to fight for this, and on the other hand, she would show goodwill to the Machinery race.
"There's another piece of good news." Erza simply waved her hand. "Any member who enters the Celestial Honors Class will be recognized by the Star Alliance and will be promoted. After all, this civilization has nurtured such outstanding talents for the Heavenly Gates. I remember that the Earth is a level-4 civilization, right? If you can successfully graduate from the Celestial Honors Class, the Earth civilization will be promoted to level-5. "
"There's a promotion of half a level?" When he heard the first half of this sentence, he was delighted. There were too many benefits to be gained from increasing the level of a civilization, but he did not expect that there would be a promotion of half a level …
"What do you think?" Erza could not help but smile. This actually made her recall the past of the legendary ancestors of the Heavenly Shell race. They had risen from humble beginnings and had also fought for every little bit. They had climbed from the bottom to a level-8 civilization. Without plundering, how could they have accumulated so much? To put it bluntly, even though the Heavenly Shell race was now a wealthy and influential family in the Land, deep down, they still worshipped the historical culture that had once risen. They were not like many older level-8 civilizations who paid attention to rules and politeness in everything.
"There are many ways to classify civilizations in the Star Alliance. There is a huge difference between level-4 and level-4.5. This promotion of half a level means that you are already a candidate for level-5 and will enjoy the treatment of a quasi-level-5 civilization, such as taxes, Star Alliance benefits, transaction regulations, and many other aspects."
Erza did not say too much and stopped here. At her level, she had already said enough to Wang Zhong today.
At this moment, Lao Wang was somewhat moved. He only needed to look at Superintendent Erza's expression to know that his little thoughts could not be hidden from her. However, she still gave him various promises rather straightforwardly and did not argue with him at all. In particular, Lao Wang did not dare to believe that someone else would make such a promise, but this was Superintendent Erza. If she said that the Earth civilization would be promoted by half a level, then it would definitely be promoted by half a level.
"Thank you, Superintendent!" Lao Wang was not someone who did not know what was good for him. He knew when to stop and bowed deeply.
Elsa smiled and waved her hand. "You'll still be attending classes in the Pill Refinement Hall. If the Celestial Honors Class has any special classes or missions, a messenger will contact you. Go back."
Looking at Wang Zhong's departing figure, Erza was slightly distracted. Sure enough, just as Celeste had said, he was a smart person.
To be honest, Erza believed that Wang Zhong was definitely confused. He did not know why the Heavenly Shell Race would suddenly help him, such as the Celestial Honors Class and the promotion of their civilization level.
Because of Celeste? Of course, it was a little, but not much. Personal friendship could not influence the interaction between two civilizations, especially when there was such a huge difference in status and strength between the two civilizations.
In reality, she had investigated. Not only was Wang Zhong suspicious, but ever since Celeste had mentioned the elemental spirits to her, Erza had been suspicious. Others did not know some of the secrets of the Heaven, but Erza knew that the Earth was once a target of suspicion of the four races in the Heaven. If not, the four races would not have gone to war to preach and spread their faith on the Earth, a peripheral world. They had turned the Earth, which was still in a semi-primitive society and had no civilization value, into an amusement park for the gods. One had to know that the other amusement parks of the gods had a rather civilized foundation. Only then were they qualified to attract the interest of the gods!
Furthermore, she had obtained a lot of mystical information from her recent investigation. There was actually more than one Earthling, Wang Zhong … As expected, this was a mystical race with considerable potential. Aiolos in the Sacred Arena, and even the two self-proclaimed Netherworld King messengers far away in the Netherworld … Heh heh, these fellows were all troublemakers. Furthermore, they all had special natural endowments that were not inferior to Wang Zhong's. They were from the same civilization and had the same genes, but they were able to take three completely different paths and accumulate their Core in three different ways! To a normal level-4 civilization that had just joined the Star Alliance and did not have any accumulation, this was simply inconceivable. Even level-5 and level-6 civilizations, including the Heavenly Shell Race back then, could not do this …
"What a mystical Earth." Erza flipped her palm slightly, and a sparkling and translucent azure planet projection appeared in her hand. She carefully observed it and tried her best to find some traces that she could recognize, but in the end, she did not succeed.
Erza shook her head. Even if the Earth really had an extremely complicated history as she had imagined, to be honest, the four races in the Heaven had tossed and turned over countless times when they spread their faith on the Earth back then. The entire Earth had probably been pried open and turned over hundreds of times, but even they did not find what they wanted or see any obvious peculiarities. How could she see anything from a projection?
"What will appear will appear. Let's just watch quietly. If that is really the case, then I do not have the qualifications to intervene. I can only be a spectator." The projection in Erza's hand gradually dissipated. Her silver eyes flashed slightly, and she disappeared from the hall without a trace.
… …
However, Aiolos's situation did not change because of this attention. His conflict with the Arena deepened. What made Aiolos admire him was that the Crystal person had never shed all pretense of cordiality with him. Although there were disputes, every time they were on the verge of exploding, the Crystal person would always be able to restrain his emotions very well and make concessions to Aiolos.
Thus, Aiolos continued to push his luck. There was only a thin layer of paper left between the two of them that had not been pierced through. To him, returning to his status as a free citizen gave him endless room to maneuver. He no longer had any requests for the Crystal people's Arena. Now, it was the Crystal people who yearned for him to stay.
"Boss Ran, if this continues, I'm afraid our cooperation will come to an end."
Backstage, Aiolos, who had just won a battle, stopped the Crystal person, who was arranging the next battle.
The Crystal person suppressed his temper and looked at Aiolos' face, which seemed to be smiling yet not smiling. He squeezed out the smile of a businessman and said, "What is it now, my dear trump card?"
"Opponents! The recent opponents are too weak. I'm very dissatisfied. Furthermore, you must have lost a lot because of these battles that have no suspense, right? Without intense battles, how much less rewards and expenses will the audience give? I have a share of the profits! "
The crystal face turned green and white. His fury had reached its peak, and he wished he could strangle this despicable human to death. If Aiolos had not killed so many experts, especially the Spirit Dragon, he would not have been able to do anything about it! How could it be so difficult to arrange his opponents?
The Spirit Dragon was a peak Void Core that was comparable to a Solid Core!
With this evil precedent, who would send their Void Core gladiators to fight against Aiolos? Everyone understood, including the Crystal person. The reason why Aiolos was still in the Arena was not because he had feelings for the Arena and battles. Instead, it was because Aiolos was trying to consolidate his Void Core through battles. He had just advanced to the Void Core realm not long ago, and he needed powerful opponents to temper the power of his newly obtained Void Core. No one would be stupid enough to send their capable gladiators to such a monster to eat them up as experience.
In the past, the Crystal person could still find some powerful opponents by paying for them. However, after the death of the Spirit Dragon, he could no longer do this. Because of the death of the Spirit Dragon, he had paid a large sum of Star Coins to that damned old vampire. Furthermore, because he had defeated the Spirit Dragon, the price of arranging powerful opponents for Aiolos had risen to a price that the Crystal person could not accept. He had sunk into a certain financial difficulty because of the compensation from the vampire.
The Crystal person was actually rich, but the Arena was also a money-burning machine. He did not have much liquid funds that he could use at any time. Most of his assets were reflected in his slave gladiators and the real estate in his Arena. Not long ago, he had bought a 1,000-year lease from the Star Alliance. Furthermore, after it expired, his family would have the priority to renew the lease. This had cost him more than half of his savings, but it was worth it. After he succeeded, everyone was envious of his 1,000-year lease. This was practically a permanent ownership. Not everyone had this ability and qualification! Furthermore, time would help him earn back tens of thousands of times, or even millions of times, or even more than that. This number could be predicted, but not predicted.
However, it was precisely because of this investment that the compensation from the vampire was a huge blow to the Crystal person. Furthermore, it made it difficult for him to cash flow. Of course, this was not considered a problem for the Crystal person. In his long life, he had encountered countless similar crises. He was confident that he could solve this problem. Furthermore, the answer to solve this problem was right in front of him.
Aiolos, this fellow who had caused trouble for him, was also his next opportunity.
Of course, all of this was still in the plan.
Looking at the arrogant Aiolos, the Crystal person backed down once again and said, "Aiolos, don't be anxious. I am making arrangements. A truly powerful opponent will appear very soon. However, you know your current reputation. If you had not killed the Spirit Dragon previously, this would have been much easier! Next time, you must listen to me. "
Aiolos looked at the Crystal person with a faint smile. "Hurry up. You should know my situation. You should also know that there are already other people looking for me. Furthermore, there is more than one. Boss Flaming, the reason why I am still here is because I am nostalgic."
The Crystal person looked at Aiolos's back, and the suppressed anger on his face suddenly disappeared. A mocking and ice-cold gaze surfaced in his eyes. Ignorance and arrogance. In the divine territory, people would die if they were ignorant and arrogant.
After killing the Spirit Dragon, Aiolos became more and more arrogant. This was what the Crystal person was happy to see. He continuously arranged matches that would allow Aiolos to win all of them. The Crystal person continuously created a terrifying battle record of Aiolos's consecutive victories. This was because he was planning a battle to turn things around!
