Time was miraculous. Ten years would pass by in the blink of an eye for many people.
However, for Aishi youths, the difference between 18 and 28 years old was completely different. An 18-year-old youths would have just finished their basic education and wouldn't be more than two ranks in combat. They would barely be considered cannon fodder on the battlefield.
Most 28-year-old youths would already be the backbone of the frontlines. They would have perfect mastery of their skills. Although they were still young, they would be able to hold their own and become the main force of the frontlines … At this age, due to the huge difference in talent, ability, hard work, and luck, there would be a huge difference in treatment and future prospects for these youths.
In another ten years, 38-year-old middle-aged youths would be the backbone and core of the frontlines. Or, more accurately speaking, they would only be able to improve if there were no main forces that had been eliminated in the past ten years.
Rorschach calmly saw through the Truth Symposium's plans and plans as he stood in this grand hall facing a Truth Symposium archmage who could kill him in a single breath.
The Dimensional War wasn't happening right now. It would only happen about seven to ten years from now. And, this process would be incredibly valuable, so it was impossible to give up on it.
Most of the youths were still new to Ansorenne. Ten years later, even the youngest of them would be the main force of the frontlines at the age of 25 or 28. There would also be plenty of youths in their thirties.
At that time, Rorschach would be able to harvest a large number of native Aishi mages from Ansorenne. These mages would have the strengths of both Aishi and Ansorenne. This meant that they would have a certain amount of family and relationships in Ansorenne. They would also have feelings for the Aishi mages, so they would be the perfect candidates to become permanent sentries in the Mage Country.
Or, more accurately speaking, they would become the colony's governors and their subordinates.
This was just like how the New Gods' Church was centered around the New Gods and Descenders. They would be able to create a city or even a country. In order to obtain a territory and steadily harvest and research Ansorenne's resources over a long period of time, such "guides" would be absolutely necessary.
Not only that, but if … just if, Ansolion's magical mist dissipated, and the dimensional war wasn't as intense as expected, the New Gods were able to easily defend Ansolion. Then, it would naturally be time for the New Gods to take over Ansolion's territory.
New kingdoms would be established one after another, and new Gods would become True Gods one after another. "Although this land is vast and boundless, not a single inch of it is superfluous." At that time, the various countries would naturally frantically divide up their territories, just like how some planets fought over colonies during the colonial era. And those seemingly vast but sparsely populated wastelands would one day develop into densely populated cities.

"When the door opens, it will be too late … Fortunately, there are still ten years."

. If everything went well, then the Mage Country's lack of attention to Ansorenne would be completely compensated for...
At the same time, this was also a type of sowing seeds and enclosing territory. When Roxia saw this information, he already knew that this was a major strategy on the national level. It was likely that the great majority of archmages would be involved in this.
"Ten spots? Are they worth a lot? Of course they're worth a lot, but … they're far from the changes that joining the grand plan will bring to us. "
After leaving the Mage Guild, Rorschach immediately contacted Lori. This was a huge matter. They needed to discuss it properly.
Rorschach's request wasn't immediately answered. Both sides needed time to consider and investigate many things.
But before leaving, Andi requested that Rorschach hand over some of Andi's magical information. It seemed that Andi was quite interested in this.
A large-scale smuggling operation wasn't that important? Ten spots already took up one-fiftieth of the Mage Country. Andi was quite sincere!
Rorschach laughed out loud when he heard Lori's advisor make such a suggestion. It seemed that he had unknowingly surpassed many professionals.
"Who said that there's only one chance? It's rumored that there's only one chance to smuggle in. Is there really only one chance? "
Roland calmly replied with a question, which caused the other side of the phone to fall into silence and chaos.
Were 500 mages strong? As the rarest and strongest combat job class, 500 mages were indeed quite strong. However, in a world as vast as Aishi … Rorschach estimated that most low-level mages wouldn't be able to defeat a slightly more experienced New God Faction. They definitely wouldn't be able to defeat them in at least ten years.
With such a force, the most they could do was find a remote place and recruit some natives to build a city. If the Mage Country only planned to build Vila Nova Dônia, even Rorschach felt embarrassed for them.
In that case, it was quite simple. These 500 mages would only be the vanguard. Perhaps they would even need to carry out experiments. There would be a second batch, a third batch, and so on.
"Ha, the current quota is indeed quite precious. It's already far beyond its true value. Even if we obtain it, we can't sell it. If we use it ourselves … what's the point of having 10 mages go to Ansorenne?"
"No, this isn't just a guess. The most direct proof is that the market is madly buying low-level mages, causing the 'price' to inflate. Even if the Mage Country wants to keep the strong and eliminate the weak, giving the quota to those who are useful, they should have been kicked out already. Right now, the market is still so tight, yet they're still keeping the useless mages. Doubtlessly, they think that there's still a chance in the future! Perhaps they'll be useful in the future. "
"Yes, the things written on that piece of paper are quite frightening. Something about hundreds of archmages and magical materials … But the Mage Country probably doesn't lack such things."
Rorschach didn't know how many archmages there were in the Mage Country. However, it would be quite difficult to kill all of them. After thousands of years of accumulation, there should be a considerable number of undying mages.
SemiGod mages weren't consumables. Even if they used up all of their mana, they would be fine after resting for a while.
As for magical materials, that was even less of a problem. This was the Mage Country. Countless industries were making money every day. Lacking in money or materials? That was impossible.
At that moment, Rorschach saw the seemingly difficult conditions for casting a spell. He wondered how long it would be before he would have another chance.
"No, it should depend on the first batch. If it's successful, perhaps the next batch will be immediately available, and the scale can even be increased tenfold."
That was why Rorschach rejected the temptation of joining the Mage Country and requested that he join the game himself.
What benefits would there be in joining the game? There would be many benefits. However, it wouldn't be easy to list all of them. That was because the higher-ups would bring you around and give you opportunities. What you could obtain would depend on you.
However, one only had to consider the fact that the Game Church had been brought around by the higher-ups for a few years. The Game Church's value had skyrocketed by at least a hundredfold. Also, compared to the Truth Symposium, the veteran New Gods in Vila Nova Dônia could only be considered menial jobs. That was how important this entry ticket would be.
Was it too much to make such a request? Actually, it wasn't too much. After all, the archmages and their magic societies were all participating. Since he was also an archmage, he naturally had the right to participate and apply.
However, under normal circumstances, it was just like how many graduates from third-rate universities applied to the top 500 companies in the country. Of course, you could submit your resume. However, if there wasn't any other reason, your resume probably wouldn't be read.
"You can say it or make a request, but I won't listen."
If you wanted Rorschach to skip over your disadvantages, of course you would have to show off your advantages, advantages that others didn't have.
Rorschach's path to becoming a mage was an incredibly tempting bargaining chip. However, when he made his request, he clearly saw Winasia's lips move slightly …
"That's … 'not enough.'"
This wasn't trying to nitpick. It was just a kind reminder. Actually, the worst part wasn't having negative comments or opinions. Rather, it was that there was no feedback at all, especially when there was a huge difference.
Now that Winasia gave him feedback, Rorschach had an idea of what to do.
At the time, Rorschach's emotions were rather subtle. His information was a one-of-a-kind treasure in the world. It was the result of many coincidences. As research material, it would save him at least two to three years of research time. Currently, the most precious thing for archmages was time.
There was no need to mention how precious time was. Archmages were all wise and flexible. If Winasia, as a Councilor, still felt that it wasn't enough, then it meant that Roland's request was far too expensive.
If it wasn't enough, then he would think of a way to get it.
At the time, Rorschach racked his brains and recalled the past few years of his life as a Descender. He managed to squeeze out some valuable information.
"Dear archmages, you should know a little about my past. My younger sister and I have some foundations in Novodonia. Although it's not large, we have a good relationship with the locals. There are several million locals there. We can use it as a place for newcomers to settle down and train … "
Rorschach knew that the archmages would definitely have their own plans. Perhaps they had already decided on the starting point for the newcomers and established good relationships with the surrounding factions. They might even have powerful individuals waiting for them.
However, with Ansorenne's experience over the past few years, Rorschach knew that putting all his eggs in one basket was extremely foolish.
Ansorenne was far too dangerous. There were too many secrets hidden in the mist. Currently, the pioneers were still moving in the shallow mist areas that had been explored by their predecessors. Those who truly stepped into the no man's land would easily encounter something that they couldn't resist … For example, they could be trampled to death by Titan. Or they could be swallowed by an Evil God who suddenly tore through space and descended.
The New Gods were scattered in countless regions and corners of the world. They were enclosing their territories to avoid internal competition and also to avoid being wiped out in one fell swoop.
Rorschach himself knew this logic and common sense. He didn't think that these archmages didn't know about it.
When the time came, if they really delivered the newcomers in batches, it was possible that each batch would have a different landing point. In fact, if there were a lot of newcomers, there might even be a situation where a batch of newcomers would be scattered to a few or even a dozen landing points.
In that case, his own Vila Nova Dônia could be one of the landing points. Or rather, it could be the landing point for the first few batches.
This wasn't just to provide convenience for the mages. If it really came to fruition, it would also mean that Vila Nova Dônia would receive a large amount of investment and support from the Mage Country. As a participant and mediator, Rorschach and the Game Church would be able to take advantage of this opportunity to reap some benefits.
When the time came, the Mage Country would definitely fully support the Game Church as "one of their own" … Or, Vila Nova Dônia would be able to take advantage of this opportunity to have a new city lord.
It was no wonder that the archmage Andre called Rorschach a cunning little fellow. He was indeed cunning. At this time, he was still able to use his position for personal gain. To put it nicely, he could barely be considered to be balancing his personal and private interests.
But this …
"Not enough."
This time, the undead lady didn't give any instructions. However, from her silence, Rorschach knew that this still wasn't enough.
Helpless, he gritted his teeth and took out his most sincere bargaining chip.
"We have Titan over there. You should be interested as well. However, everyone knows that Titan are troublesome. Their excessive arrogance makes it impossible for them to communicate with mortals. However, I'm an exception. In their eyes, I … am of the same race."
