"Fortress Lord, did the Lord truly agree to hand Nightmare Soul Ares over to me?"
Inside an office in Solomon's Fortress, the genius Scroll Scholar named Marvin gazed at the Sealing Crystal in Plato's hand with delighted excitement.
As the most talented among Solomon's Fortress's five hundred Scroll Scholars, Marvin had received Plato's special attention and training from the very beginning.
Of the five planar worlds currently being developed by Huanyu Territory, Plato had taken Marvin to train in all five, raising his level to the peak of the Seventh Tier Saint Domain.
Unfortunately, while studying Nightmare Soul Ares's native planar laws, Marvin had a sudden idea and proposed a concept called the "magic net."
It was something even Plato could not understand. He only knew that Marvin hoped to establish a connection with real-world targets on the mental level and interact with them over long distances.
Because of his fondness for Marvin, Plato had initially thought Marvin was merely trying to make a little trinket born from a flash of inspiration.
He had not expected Marvin's obsession with the magic net to grow deeper by the day. Marvin had gone too far down the road of researching it and completely abandoned Solomon's Fortress's traditional research projects.
Plato hated him for failing to live up to his potential, but his repeated attempts at persuasion had achieved little.
He had originally thought that after entering the Legendary tier, the mysteries of his law abilities would enable him to persuade Marvin to turn back from his misguided path.
Unexpectedly, during the three days he spent preaching and answering questions, Marvin had not shown up even once, devoting himself entirely to researching the magic net.
Later, Marvin had even applied to use the only Eighth Tier Legendary captive in Huanyu Territory for research.
