Following the guidance of a cyborg, he arrived at the hall where Kimberly was waiting.
Kimberly's room was surprisingly clean. There were no other decorations except for a table and a chair.
"Please wait for a few minutes, Mister Padt. Madam is still in the workshop. She'll come out soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, a door appeared not far away from Angor. The cover of the door was painted with bronze bearings, gears, and chains.
It was the door of the workshop.
As the door that clearly represented "mechanical alchemy" was pushed open, Kimberly walked out gracefully with her Fantasy Forest hairstyle.
Kimberly washed away the smell of rust on her body and sat down.
Kimberly smiled at him and said something that confused Angor. "Speaking of which, I should be thanking you for today."
"Thank me? Why do you say that? "
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have expected to see Mister Muse so soon after returning to the southern wizarding region."
According to the ranking system in the wizarding world, "Mediocre" Muse was actually weaker than Kimberly. But Kimberly still called him "Mister Muse" without thinking, which meant she was really excited.
"You mean it was Director Muse who contacted me?" Angor was a little surprised.
Kimberly nodded. "Yes. Mister Muse, the director of R&D Department. Also, the Beast Emperor is with him. "
"Even Mayor Lawson?" Angor was a little confused. "What do they want from me?"
"Beast Emperor" referred to "Beast Emperor" Lawson. In Floating Mech City, Lawson was as famous as Muse. If Muse's research department was responsible for creativity, then Lawson's main city district was responsible for combat.
Together, the two city lords were responsible for the miracle of the sky in Evron Kingdom.
"I don't know about that. Apart from using your name to make my presence known to His Excellency Muse, I didn't find out anything else." Kimberly shrugged. "If you want to know, you'll have to ask him yourself."
He was here to find out the purpose of the research department, so it was not a bad idea to get in touch with them.
Kimberly said, "Then come with me. I can't do long-distance communication across worlds."
Kimberly stood up and led Angor out of the room.
As they walked, Kimberly explained the long-distance message to Kieran.
It was a signal tower built at the center of Soul Realm, which was exactly the same as the one he saw at White Clam's branch in Yuese Country.
Originally, this signal tower was under Isabella's control, but now that Isabella was forced to "confine herself" and Isabella was in the Soul Genesis Garden all year round, Mrs. Kimberly temporarily took over Isabella's job and coordinated with Dark Castle's stations in various places.
"Since a few years ago, due to the undead chaos, we haven't been paying attention to the signal towers. Isabella didn't care about the affairs of Dark Castle. She only contacted Lawson once in a while and didn't care about the other stations in Dark Castle. Now that I've taken over, I've been so busy that I don't even have time to do alchemy. " Kimberly didn't hold back when she complained about Isabella. "I was going to find some time to continue our alchemy exchange, but now I've been occupied with all these trivial matters."
Kimberly's long-winded explanation gave Angor a general idea of the situation. No wonder Sunders couldn't contact Dark Castle's stations when he was in Floating Mech City.
After passing through many corridors in Soul Realm, Kimberly finally brought Angor to the center of Soul Realm. There was a familiar wizard tower in front of him.
"Don't you think so?" Kimberly sneered. "When Isabella built this wizard tower, she built it exactly according to Lady Isabella's wizard tower in the Soul Genesis Garden. Even the decorations inside are the same."
Angor took a closer look and confirmed that the wizard tower was exactly the same as the one he saw in Soul Genesis Garden.
Isabella's "Master Control" was showing up all the time.
"The signal tower is on the top floor. Come in." Kimberly pushed the door open and saw the familiar corridor of statues. Just as Kimberly said, even the decorations in the hall were exactly the same as the one in Soul Genesis Garden.
Kimberly led Angor upstairs and soon arrived at the signal tower.
When activating the signal tower, Kimberly took out nearly a hundred magic crystals as the power source without batting an eyelid.
Back when Bismarck contacted Floating Mech City at White Clam Company, he only used three magic crystals. Now, he needed more than thirty times that amount. It was obvious how much energy was needed to communicate between different worlds.
Also, this "world" referred to the affiliated world of the southern wizardry region, not the real world.
Angor knew that Floating Mech City hadn't developed a signal tower that could allow them to communicate between different worlds. But if they did, the cost would be so great that even wizards would feel heartache.
Now that Angor thought about it, Isabella must have cut off communication with all the outposts because of the Undead Rampage, as well as the terrible cost of magic crystals.
After all, not everyone was an alchemist like Kimberly, who had a lot of magic crystals.
Soon, Kimberly finished setting up the signal tower. When the light screen slowly emerged, the image was shown.
"Kimberly?" A cold male voice came from the other side.
"It's me." Kimberly looked at the screen and saw a handsome man in a black robe.
Not seeing Muse, the corners of her mouth unconsciously drooped. In front of the man's narrowed eyes, a thumb-sized phantom dashed out of the Fantasy Forest on Kimberly's hair and bowed to the light screen as a greeting.
The man on the screen was "Robot Emperor" Lawson.
Lawson didn't pay attention to Kimberly's strange hair. Instead, he looked at the other person beside Kimberly.
"Mister Lawson." Angor bowed politely.
Lawson looked at Angor from head to toe. A complicated emotion flashed in his cold eyes, but it quickly disappeared. "Wizard Padt, I didn't expect you to make it this far in such a short time."
Judging from the way Lawson addressed Angor, Angor knew about Angor's breakthrough already.
"A bit of luck, and a bit of luck."
"No matter what, it's still your strength. Can you —" Before Lawson could finish, a lazy voice came from behind him. "Angor? You finally showed up. Tsk, tsk. I didn't think you could cause such a big commotion."
A face with a lazy smile appeared behind Lawson's back and waved at Angor.
It was the director of Research Department, the man who called himself "Mediocre" and stood at the top of the southern wizarding region, Muse.
"Director Muse." Angor bowed. "Madam Kimberly told me that you wanted to see me?"
"We'll talk about that later. Let's talk about you first," Muse said with a big smile.
"Me? What's there to talk about? "
"There are plenty of things to talk about. You're the most talked about person in Floating Mech City these days. " Muse pointed at Angor. "You know, I've heard a lot about you in Floating Mech City.
"I didn't see you breaking through at all back in Research Department. How did you do it all of a sudden? I wouldn't believe it if Madam Kimberly didn't tell me. "
Muse's words kept coming out of his mouth like a string of cannons. When he finally finished, he returned to the previous question. "How did you break through so suddenly?"
"Accident and luck." Angor's answer was the same.
Muse didn't believe him. But since Angor didn't want to answer, he sighed. "Fine. I won't force you to tell me."
Finally, Muse returned to the main topic after talking a lot of nonsense.
When Muse told Angor the reason, Angor's eyes widened. "You want me to be a judge for the Rising Star Competition?"
"To be precise, you're a special judge. You don't have to do anything."
To put it simply, he was going to judge the winners. For the sake of fairness, there were several judges for the final rounds of the competition. Muse wanted Angor to be a special judge. Angor could give his own opinion or do nothing. There were other judges anyway.
It did not sound like a difficult task, but he did not understand why he was asked to do it.
Wasn't the Rising Star Competition held by Floating Mech City? Was it appropriate for an outsider like him to be a judge?
"There are several special judges. Two of them aren't from Floating Mech City. If you agree, you'll be one of them." Muse saw through Angor's confusion and explained.
"Why me?" Angor asked.
"Because you're quite famous these days." Muse smiled. "Of course, I'm just kidding. But you've just become a member of the R&D department. You should show your face, right? Also, this is a task from the R&D department. It's not compulsory, but you'll get a lot of credit points. "
The credit points could be used to purchase special materials, which was a benefit for R&D department members.
"Speaking of which, I heard that the magazines in Floating Mech City have been trying to contact Dark Castle to confirm whether you've really made it to the next level. With you as the special judge, it'll be a great way to put an end to all this."
"Plus, you haven't gotten a title yet, right? You can use this chance to confirm your title.
"Most importantly, I really want to see how those people who were once your peers and self-proclaimed geniuses will react when they see you." When Muse said this, a mischievous smile appeared on his face.
Angor had a feeling that the last reason was Muse's real intention.
