Chapter 339 We've decided that you will be the Tower Master.

"Okay." Diana agreed, then turned to Li Ang and said, "I'll go take care of this first. If all goes well, we should have results in the next few days."

Li Ang nodded and saw Diana and Ceronst off to the tower. He was not in a hurry to participate in these administrative negotiations, as another important matter had already surfaced in his mind.

Back in his dormitory, he took out the parchment containing the recipe for the [Life Enhancement Potion] and scanned the names of the thirteen ingredients one by one with his light.

"Starlight Grass, Dragon Blood Crystal, Night Flower, Blood Ginseng Root—" He could find most of the materials in the herb garden or at the contribution point exchange point with his current privileges and contribution points. Only one item made him frown slightly.

Phoenix Feather Powder

This is a legendary material. Phoenixes have long since disappeared from the world. Their feather powder is probably only found in small quantities in the treasure vaults of some ancient families or in the warehouses of alliances.

After a moment's thought, Li Ang put away the formula and got up to go to the office of the Carlos faction leader.

After listening to Li Ang's request, Carlos stroked his silver beard and pondered for a long time.

"Phoenix feather powder—" he said slowly, "There is indeed none in the tower's inventory. This stuff is too rare. The last time it was recorded within the Alliance was more than eighty years ago—."

He looked at Li Ang, his eyes filled with inquiry: "You need it to refine the key potion to deal with the End?"

"Yes," Li Ang said frankly, "a potion designed to push the limits of life. It is one of the core ingredients."

Carlos looked solemn. He stood up, paced a few steps in front of the bookshelf, and finally stopped in front of an oil painting depicting ancient mountains.

"I know a few old guys who might have one in their private collections. Give me a few days, I'll write to them and ask. I should be able to get it."

Li Ang felt relieved: "Then I'll leave it to you, faction leader."

"Consider this your thank you for saving Eve," Carlos waved his hand and said with a smile. "I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

Over the next few days, Li Ang enjoyed a brief period of peace. He would meditate every morning and sometimes go to the upper floors of the library, where more mysterious books about ancient history, lost magic, and even legendary creatures were stored. He tried to find more clues about the "End" or the "Queen of the Swarm".

In the afternoons, he would occasionally return to his alchemy workshop to casually concoct some healing potions. In addition to replenishing his inventory, he was also practicing his techniques in preparation for concocting the "Life Enhancement Potion" later. The faint aroma of herbs filled the room, giving him a long-lost sense of tranquility that belonged to an apothecary.

One evening, as the setting sun bathed the stone walls of Leli Tower in a warm golden hue, Leon encountered Lottie watering several pots of moonflowers in the corridor of the Potions School.

"Mr. Leon!" Lottie's eyes lit up when she saw him, then she put down the kettle somewhat embarrassedly. "I heard you're back, and—you've become a very, very high-ranking official?"

Li Ang smiled, walked to the railing, and together they looked down at the lights gradually lighting up below the tower. "I guess so. But coming back inside the tower, it still feels most reassuring here."

Lottie nodded vigorously, her light brown braid swaying gently with the movement: "Yes, that's what everyone says. The atmosphere in the tower has been quite tense lately, but seeing Mr. Li Ang and your team return safely and win such a great victory has put everyone at ease."

The two walked slowly along the corridor, chatting about recent interesting events in the tower, which courses had added practical exercises, and which apprentice had made a fool of himself in an experiment. Everything seemed to have returned to the relatively relaxed and innocent time when Li Ang first entered the tower.

But they both knew that the dark clouds hanging over them had never dissipated, and this tranquility was like a brief respite before a storm.

The next morning, the Chairman's badge on Li Ang's chest vibrated slightly, transmitting an encrypted message from Obsidian Tower.

The Rex Tower chief reports that the elven craftsmen dispatched by Avalon have arrived in Obsidian City and, with the Tower's full cooperation, are surveying and selecting a site to begin laying the core foundation for the first teleportation array.

This was good news. After a moment's thought, Li Ang issued his second official order since taking office to the seven towers of the alliance via his badge: "Effective immediately, each tower shall submit the following information to me within five days: 1. The number of wizards of all ranks above the rank of official wizard in this tower; 2. A list of strategic material reserves; 3. An overview of the elite mortal legions that can be mobilized quickly. This data will serve as the core basis for the alliance's overall defense and resource allocation, and must be accurate and detailed."

Once the order was issued, badges began to arrive confirming receipt from each tower. Li Ang could imagine the busyness this order would cause among the management of each tower, but in these extraordinary times, it was essential to quickly ascertain the situation.

As he waited for news, time quietly passed until the morning of the fourth day, when Li Ang received a message from Theronster, asking him to go to the small conference room at the law enforcement headquarters.

Pushing open the door, Li Ang was slightly surprised. In the small conference room, there were four people: Diana, Celeste, Carlos, and the leader of the Stargazing School, the lady who always had a mysterious and calm smile, Selena. These people could be said to represent the entire core of the current highest decision-making level of Lelita.

"Li Ang, you're here. Have a seat." Diana pointed to the empty chair, her expression complex, a mixture of helplessness and a deeper smile.

Li Ang sat down as instructed, his gaze sweeping over the four people.

Diana cleared her throat and got straight to the point: "Leon, regarding your appointment as the leader of the Elementalist School—Ceronster and I have worked on it, but perhaps, things might change."

Li Ang smiled calmly: "It's alright, Professor Diana. I've never been obsessed with the position; as long as I can ensure the smooth allocation of resources, that's enough."

"No, you misunderstood," Celeste interjected, a faint, almost amused expression appearing on his usually serious face.

"It's not that we don't want you to be the faction leader, but—after discussing it, we all agree that with your current abilities, reputation, and the responsibilities you bear in the Alliance, it would be a waste of your talents to merely serve as the faction leader of a school, and it would also prevent you from fully leveraging your leadership role in Lelita."

A hint of doubt appeared in Li Ang's eyes.

Carlos smiled and took over the conversation, his tone gentle yet firm: "What we mean is that the position of Tower Master of Lelita is more suitable for you now than that of the Sect Master of the Elementalist School."

Tower Master?

Li Ang was stunned. Since the fall of the previous tower master, the position of tower master had been vacant for nearly a hundred years. The affairs of the tower had always been managed by several faction leaders through consultation, so he had never thought of this possibility.

"That's right, I was the one who first suggested it," Selena's voice rang out at the opportune moment.
