Isaac and Filo's discussion did not last long. For one thing, the banquet was about to begin, leaving them little time. For another—
There really was not much to revise. The repair plan had come from the Truth Association, whose understanding of Floating Cities ran far deeper than Isaac's. The only reason he could still make improvements was that he was cheating!
The mighty hand of his golden finger, which could refine research plans, worked its magic again, giving him another little chance to show off.
But he did not get to show off for long, because the banquet began.
As for the banquet, its overall proceedings held few surprises for Isaac. First, Filo publicly announced the rebirth of the Terra Empire. They could not reclaim their territory in the Main World for now, but in the Boundless Void, the Terra Empire would gradually take back everything that belonged to it!
At the same time, she displayed the faintly visible demigod realm behind her, showing off her reserves of firepower.
Then, just as Isaac had expected, she publicly announced the expedition to the Demigod Hunting Grounds scheduled for two years later. She specifically emphasized that three demigods would be joining forces for the operation, borrowing some of their prestige.
Isaac did not particularly mind. After all, accepting someone's gifts made it hard to refuse them—
What followed was the nobles' tedious socializing. Isaac did not take part in that pointless affair. Instead, he toured Filo's two Floating City Production Lines before returning to his Wizard Tower.
Meanwhile, his eldest sister Cheryl's research had also reached a critical juncture—
The seventh floor of the Mage Tower in Solomon Royal City had a dedicated purpose, just like the seventh floor Isaac reserved for rituals. Cheryl's seventh floor was used for magical experiments.
