CHAPTER 424: CHAPTER 424: CHILD OF THE PLANE

In the X-617 World, a valley was shrouded in thick fog.

Medel sat beside a campfire roasting a chicken that had been marinated.

This chicken wasn’t hunted here but was prepared in Medel’s space ring beforehand.

He knew the food wouldn’t be great here, so he prepared in advance.

Beside the fire were two other people, a man and a woman. The man looked older, around fifty, named Wade.

The woman appeared younger, around her twenties, with blonde hair, named Tessa.

These two were the ones who had previously agreed to help Medel seize control of the world, both formal members of the Serlandir organization.

However, even among formal members, there are differences. Most people neither have a background like Medel’s nor potential like Herag’s to be valued.

For those people, they occupy a middle-ground position, making advancement difficult.

The management style of the Serlandir wizard organization is quite lax.

For instance, if Herag, though belonging to Parker’s faction, had average skills and showed no potential, no one would care about him.

In such a scenario, if Herag wanted to join Medel or the Taylor Family, Parker wouldn’t mind nor pay any attention.

Such individuals lack significant value and naturally aren’t worthy of higher-up attention.

However, Herag is different. If he wanted to rely on Medel, Parker would definitely question it.

This is partly why Herag has never agreed before, thinking staying under Parker is much better than joining Medel.

Medel valued Herag’s potential and sought to win him over.

With the backing of the Taylor Family, Medel wasn’t afraid of Parker and dared to court Herag’s allegiance.

Wade and Tessa, however, had some qualifications but not much. They have potential; otherwise, they wouldn’t be chosen for the cradle action.

But their potential isn’t very high and hasn’t caught the attention of any significant figures.

So, when Medel extended an olive branch, they naturally seized it tightly, clinging to him.

Tessa sat by the fire, carefully turning the roasting chicken to prevent it from burning.

With the warmth from the fire, Medel finally felt a bit warmer.

Their gathering wasn’t luck but rather a minor manipulation by Medel using his background, allowing them to teleport to a nearby area.

Upon entering this world, they quickly regrouped.

The three set off together, significantly increasing their safety.

Everyone here was a Crystalization Wizard; naturally, it’s hard for anyone to face three alone.

Unless others grouped as well, they would likely suffer against them.

Moreover, Medel didn’t only have these two loyal followers. It’s just that these two were the only ones who could teleport to the same area as him for now; sooner or later, the others would meet.

There were already six people pledging allegiance to him, and once they were all united, they would be nearly invincible in this world.

Thinking about it, Medel couldn’t help but smile. This was the influence and appeal of the Taylor Family; what did others have to compete with him?

"Master, it should be done. You can eat now," Tessa said, checking the chicken.

Medel nodded, took out a dagger, and sliced off a piece of chicken to eat.

"Master, how should we control the World Will? We have no clue," Tessa tentatively asked.

Wade also looked up. He, like Tessa, didn’t know the specifics.

"Do you know the Plane Guardians?" Medel asked, feigning depth.

Wade and Tessa were confused and shook their heads.

"Every plane actually has its Plane Guardian. The World Will selects some potential individuals, aiding in their growth to give them enough strength. Since their growth is closely tied to the World Will, these individuals will stand out to resolve crises when the plane faces one," Medel explained.

"But isn’t the World Will supposed to be strong? It should handle crises on its own, right?" Tessa asked.

Medel shook his head: "It’s not like that. The World Will is a collection of rules, so it is also bound by the rules. It operates by adhering to rules and can’t just do whatever it pleases. The World Will is limited in many ways, unable to do many things conveniently, or even at all."

"This is precisely why the World Will chooses some individuals worth nurturing, giving them enough power. Such people are commonly called chosen ones or Children of the Plane."

Wade and Tessa pondered, digesting this information.

They had never heard of such matters; this information was inaccessible to them through their channels.

"Master, but what does this have to do with our cradle action? According to the data, this world doesn’t have higher intelligent species, so there shouldn’t be a Child of the Plane, right?" Wade asked after considering.

"No, there is. This world must have a Child of the Plane, but it may not be of a highly intelligent species; we just haven’t discovered them yet. So our next target is to find the Child of the Plane and then kill him," Medel stated.

"Kill him?" Tessa was surprised.

Medel nodded: "Yes, the Child of the Plane is favored by the World Will. As long as we attempt to kill him, the World Will will certainly appear and will help the Child in some form to overcome difficulties. The World Will doesn’t know tricks; it will definitely act to help the Child in its capable way whenever they face danger. When it shows up, that’s our chance to control it."

"Ah, I see now. It seems Master has already planned everything," Tessa praised.

Wade and Tessa finally understood, no longer confused.

Hidden in the distant shadows, Herag also realized, "So that’s what it is."

Herag had discovered Medel and his team before sunset but didn’t reveal himself, using the shadowy corner magic to hide.

After spotting Medel and the team, he decided to follow them.

Coming from the Taylor Family, Medel would undoubtedly know much information—following him could likely lead to discovering signs of the World Will.

Herag didn’t expect to obtain so much intelligence just by eavesdropping from afar for a while.

He had been pondering over how to control the World Will, with numerous doubts. But now, he finally had some understanding.
