Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes-Chapter 379 - One Hundred and Fifty-Four: Chameleon

"I believe you all understand my identity as a foreigner.

Indeed, my strength may be insignificant compared to all of you, but that does not mean I have nothing to offer — that is, I do not care about any risks!"

As he spoke, Zero habitually raised his hand to push up the glasses that weren’t there.

"So, when none of you want to take on this risk, it makes the most sense for me to temporarily take over the remaining resources of the Empire.

It’s better to give them all to me than let the Empire waste them!

I will continue to arrange personnel to carry out the organization’s tasks against the Empire. All possible dangers encountered during this process will be borne by me and my people instead of you all!

If you are worried that my identity will lead to pursuit by the Empire, I can even immediately leave the ’Gateway of Pupils’ and take over these remaining resources as an independent force leader —"

As Zero’s words came to an end, everyone fell into contemplation, and they had to admit that Zero’s proposal was indeed the most advantageous solution for them at the moment.

Frowning slightly, the Leader cast an inquiring glance at Grey Mist, who nodded slightly back at him.

"Then, does anyone have any objections to Zero’s proposal?"

As he said this, the Leader looked around, but in the end no one voiced any objections.

For the Ninth Rank Professionals at the top seats, it was not worth the trouble of attracting a bunch of peers over a small portion of the Empire’s resources.

As for those members who were not Ninth Rank, although they coveted these resources, the risks were too great.

They did not have the foreigner’s virtually unsolvable Undying nature, nor did they possess the Ninth Rank Professionals’ ability to regenerate a separate body to save their lives. If caught by the Empire’s Ninth Rank, it would be game over on the spot.

"Good, regardless of what purpose you have for making this proposal, I am in a position to temporarily entrust you with the control of all remaining forces and resources of the ’Gateway of Pupils’ within the Gloria Empire —"

Seeing that no one opposed, the Leader’s gaze returned to Zero, nodding in agreement to his request.

"However, these resources are not for free. As a price for obtaining them, you need to find a way to plunge at least one province of the Empire into complete chaos within the next fifty years.

If you accept this condition, the identity tokens and other items will be given to you after the meeting is concluded."

"I agree, Your Honor, the Leader."

Zero nodded, accepting the demand.

"Then, after leaving here, you’d better quickly consolidate the organization’s remaining resources within the Empire. With every passing second each night, the probability that they are discovered increases by one.

And I am well aware that although foreigners can resurrect infinitely, they do so at the cost of completely abandoning their former bodies."

With a smile that was not quite a smile, the Leader cast another look at Zero, delivering a light but pointed comment, then turned his gaze back to the people.

"No more objections, then?... Now, the meeting is adjourned!"

Without further incident, as the Leader’s final words faded, the projections of everyone else gradually diffused and disappeared.

Inside the empty room, only Zero’s lonely figure remained.

"Finally, success."

Looking at the new character identity [Deputy of the Gateway of Pupils — Gloria] added to the mission panel, Zero suddenly smiled.

"As a player, I’ve managed to obtain the identity of a native force leader, I should now be at the highest position, shouldn’t I?"

.........

Gloria Empire, Pamir Academy.

Since returning from the Floating City, Anvis’s life had become quite regular.

After the explosion of the Floating City, due to the high-intensity search by the empire’s high-ranking officials, all powers within the empire’s borders temporarily quieted down.

Following the Duke’s orders, Anvis and Fiona had been staying in the academy obediently, without going out.

However, today, Fiona suddenly sought him out to report on the special situation of the elemental dragon, Feiya.

"Brother, this won’t cause any harm to Feiya, will it?"

In the underground laboratory, Fiona held a small kitten, looking at Feiya, who was bound at the center of the Array, with several thick tubes continuously injecting her with Magic Power of different attributes, her gaze somewhat anxious.

After returning from the Floating City, perhaps due to the stimulation, Fiona had made another breakthrough after two to three months. Just a few Magic Times ago, her strength had officially reached the Fourth Rank, and she had officially become a Mid Rank Professional.

Consequently, the elemental dragon, Feiya, had also undergone some new changes.

Its body could change colors now!

This was not the simple change of skin color like flesh and blood organisms; for elemental creatures, a change in color meant a change in Attribute.

Currently, it could freely switch among the blue representing the Water Attribute, the red of the Fire Attribute, the yellow of the Earth Attribute, the white of the Light Attribute, and the cyan of the Wind attribute.

Interested in this characteristic displayed by the young dragon, Feiya, Anvis decided to examine it right after receiving Fiona’s message.

This type of elemental talent had significant research value; the non-damaging conversion of Magic Attributes could be applied to various important structures like Magic Power Engines, Protection Barriers, and more.

If one could simulate the model structure of this talent, it would be entirely possible to create many new components for Magic-guided Mechanical constructs.

"Also, brother, Feiya told me that if it weren’t for the feedback of power from my breakthrough, she would have needed at least fifty or sixty years to grow enough to acquire the ability to switch Attributes!"

Seemingly reminded of something, Fiona suddenly leaned in closer, her lake blue eyes full of hope as she looked at Anvis, her face wearing a self-satisfied expression.

"Okay, Fei, thank you for your help."

Suddenly hearing the girl’s claim to credit, Anvis gave her a somewhat strange glance with his deep blue eyes, then nodded in understanding.

"So, is there something you need my help with?"

"Hehe... Well, brother, during the holidays at Central Yang Moon Academy, I want to join Vent and the other holders of the Star Disk Fragments to search for the treasure of the Star Cluster Civilization."

Her purpose seen through, the girl smiled sheepishly.

At the start of the yearly festival in June, it was customary for Pamir Academy to also have a vacation, lasting ten days.

The girl was eyeing this period, planning to embark on a thrilling and interesting grand adventure, just like in the biographies of all heroic figures.

"Of course you can, as long as you obtain father and mother’s consent, I have no objections."

Entering a string of commands into the Crystal Ball, he adjusted the ratio of the Magic Elements being input a bit. Anvis glanced at the girl, speaking in a grand and dignified tone.

"However, I’m worried that father might not agree... so, brother, could you please speak to father on my behalf?"

Stamping her foot lightly, the girl fluttered her big eyes, finally voicing her real request.
