<h4>Chapter 781: ming Sparrow Range</h4>


    Three monthster, within a volcanoboratory established in the heart of the ming Sparrow Range...


    Sein’s ability to set up a dedicated experimentalboratory for himself during an intense internar war highlighted both his significant authority and the control he had over his time.


    Just a month after the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring Army arrived at the ming Sparrow Range, the conflict in the area hadrgely been resolved.


    An overwhelming force of millions of magic beasts had swiftly quelled all resistance near the ming Sparrow Range.


    The armies brought by ck Oblivion and the other magic beast kings to the Wild Gori World were initially thought to number over three million.


    However, after a precise count by the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring’s mages, the total was found to be four million and three hundred thousand.


    ck Oblivion had indeed prepared for a long time to wage his own internar war.


    With such a vast army, including magic beast kings of Rank Four or above, ordinary divine towers and knightly orders would find it difficult to musterparable forces.


    While the battle raged outside, Sein enjoyed a rare moment of peace and quiet within hisboratory.


    The volcanoboratory nestled within the ming Sparrow Range was ingeniously designed.


    The center of thisboratory was connected to a pool of moltenva, which allowed Sein to use the volcano’s heat to sustain theboratory’s daily energy needs.


    It also allowed for the easy collection of the ming Sparrow Range’s “Azure me”.


    Over the past two months, Sein had extensively explored the properties of this azureva me.


    His analysis revealed that the “Azure me” paled inparison to his Verdant me and Everburning Violet me in terms of power.


    Sein sighed at the research oue.


    It was nothing surprising though.


    After all, unique mes would not be special if they could be found so easily.


    While the “Azure me” had rare properties, its lethality was rtively low.


    However, Sein discovered it was exceptionally efficient in melting metals due to the intense heat it released when burning.


    In fact, more than eighty percent of the metal deposits in the ming Sparrow Range, including the prized Azure Gold, were formed and solidified by this unique azure fire.


    Sein identified the unique capability of the Azure me as “dposition”.


    Although its only strengthy in breaking down metals, it was a property particrly useful to an alchemist like Sein.


    Sein had spent nearly three months delving into the properties of the Azure me in his volcanobpratory, but his efforts were far from wasted.


    Throughout this period, Sein had also sessfully integrated this special me into his pyro elemental spells.


    “The Magus World has conquered countless nes. There were also several medium-sized orrger pyro elemental nes within the Magus Alliance. Perhaps I should collect exotic fire seed through the Magus Alliance instead of aimlessly searching on my own.”


    Setting aside the elemental microscope, Sein mused aloud in theboratory.


    <i>Ding dong!</i>


    Just then, the magic doorbell chimed.


    Havingpleted his experiment for now, Sein shelved his thoughts and headed toward the door.


    Despite his privileged position, he could not entirely disregard any ongoing war responsibilities in the divine tower.


    Outside stood Selina, whom Sein had assigned to the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring Army’s logistics departmentst month.


    The work there was monotonous and low-paying, but it was safe—making it a fitting role for Selina.


    Her frequent travels between the space fortress and the frontline allowed her to meet Sein more frequently than Natalya, Leena, and the others.


    Speaking of Natalya, Sein had scarcely seen her since their arrival at the ming Sparrow Range months earlier.


    The rich volcanic ash and the sharp sulfurous scent of the range, along with the intense battles, provided the perfect stimtion for Natalya, who possessed the bloodline of a Baator Devil.


    Just as Natalya struggled to grasp why Sein preferred to seclude himself in hisboratory, Sein could not understand her thirst for relentless battle.


    Half a month ago, Natalya returned from battle bearing numerous injuries.


    They were not severe, but enough to make her appear somewhat battered.


    At the time, Sein had kindly advised her, telling her there was no need to push herself so hard.


    Natalya, however, dismissed his concern with a wave of her hand, retorting, “These are just scratches, nothingpared to what you did to me in theb back then.”


    Natalya spoke her mind without a filter and did not even care that Reina was beside her.


    The two female knights were usually inseparable, to the extent that Natalya would sometimes overlook her presence.


    Reina nearly choked on the purple recovery potion she was drinking upon hearing Natalya’s response.


    It was only then that Natalya remembered Reina was there.


    Reina, thick-skinned as she was, quickly recovered from the shock.


    Sein, however, was displeased by Natalya’s careless remark. His expression darkened as he summoned Natalya into hisboratory for a stern punishment.


    As Natalya followed Sein into hisboratory dejectedly, Reina gulped as her fear toward Sein deepened even more.


    “The war in the ming Sparrow Range is winding down in stages. The divine tower wishes for us to handle the aftermath of the war around the ming Sparrow Range, together with the Order of the Fiery Molten Mountain,” Selina exined.


    Although Selina worked in the logistics department of the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring Army, she sometimes served as Sein’s personal secretary due to their close rtionship.


    While Sein had secluded himself in hisboratory, conducting research for the past few months, the conflict at the ming Sparrow Range was nearing its conclusion.


    Several Rank Three grand mages of the divine tower, all venerable old men who had lived for thousands of years, were certainly more adept than Sein at handling such affairs.


    Despite being forced to travel to the frontlines from the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring, Master Archimedes seldom disturbed Sein.


    The responsibility for managing the post-battle cleanup of the ming Sparrow Range with the Order of the Fiery Molten Mountain was likely a decision made through the discussions between Master Archimedes and his colleagues.


    Unlike the previous battleground in the Wild Gori World, the volcanic cluster currently under the control of the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring was identified early in the war as a critical resource point.


    This volcanic area was incredibly rich in resources.


    After preliminary assessments by Geomancers, the ming Sparrow Range had been found to contain various metals, minerals, and special resources, with reserves valued at no less than half a million magicoins.

    As a significant resource point within a medium-sized realm, it offered wealth that many smaller, micrones simply did not possess.


    In addition to its rich mineral resources, the ming Sparrow Range was home to arge number of native creatures from the Wild Gori World.


    Over the recent months of conflict, those capable of mounting a resistance had beenrgely subdued by the Magus World Army.


    The remaining native creatures, numbering in the tens of millions, exhibited little resistance, so the Magus World refrained from killing them.


    After all, it was not a chaotic or evil civilization.


    These numerous native creatures could also be viewed as a type of “resource”.


    They could be sold as ves within the Magus Alliance, or employed as miners to extract the abundant deposits from the ming Sparrow Range for the divine towers and knightly orders.


    These were two ways to capitalize on their residual value and were more cost-effective than outright elimination.


    “Let’s go outside and take a look,” Sein said to Selina.
