Chapter 987 - 420: Eye of Observation_2

Instead of satisfying the private demands of a certain clan, no matter how ancient and prestigious that clan is."

This direct and sharp refusal made the atmosphere in the room once again heavy as lead.

Eve’s face suddenly turned pale as paper, the little comfort and hope she had just gained vanished instantly.

"Senior, I completely understand your concerns."

Uther’s tone remained gentle, yet carried a tone of undeniable authority:

"Eve’s situation involves a deep rebound at the rule level, a phenomenon extremely rare in the entire wizarding history, with important research value and academic significance."

"Research value? Academic significance?"

The Eye of Observation’s tone became more sarcastic and sharp:

"Uther, do you think I would believe such grandiose statements? We have known each other for many years, I am well aware of your every little thought."

His voice carried a deep sense of disappointment:

"You are also aware of Cassandra’s current state, what kind of existence she is becoming.

The conquest war in the Otherworld, the brutal plunder of other civilizations, and the growing greed and killing impulse... she is no longer the pure researcher she once was."

"Under such circumstances, you still want to deepen relations with the Crown Clan, willing to risk your life to help them... do you think this is wise? Do you think this is worth it?"

These words pointed directly to the heart of the problem like a sharp blade.

Indeed, in the case of Cassandra’s gradual alienation and increasingly extreme behavior, any deep cooperation with the Crown Clan could bring unexpected risks and consequences.

The silence in the room became suffocating, even those magic ban devices that usually make slight noises seemed to stop functioning.

"Moreover..."

The Eye of Observation’s tone became more solemn and worried:

"Even if we set aside the issue of political stance, you are well aware of the price of forcibly performing projection summoning.

With your current void remains state, forcibly engaging in such high-intensity summoning..."

At this point, the Eye of Observation sighed softly:

"You will die, Uther. Perhaps not just a gradual decline, but a direct dissipation. You will be completely erased from this world, leaving no trace behind."

This straightforward and cruel description made everyone in the room feel the shadow of death.

"I know the cost."

Uther replied calmly, with no trace of hesitation or fear in his voice:

"But some things are indeed more important than personal survival. Moreover, death for me is not an end, but another form of continuation."

"More important? Continuation?"

The Eye of Observation’s voice grew angry:

"Uther, you have contributed enough to this damn timeline! Thousands of years, what more do you want? Why make such a meaningless sacrifice at the last moment?"

"This is not a meaningless sacrifice."

Uther remained firm, but his voice carried a deep fatigue:

"Once the solution to the Demon Devouring phenomenon is found, perhaps it can be applied to other timelines, and can also lead to breakthroughs in healing techniques."

"Moreover..."

He looked at Ron, his eyes revealing a certain anticipation:

"This is also to cultivate and test the next generation of leaders. Young people need to deeply understand the mysteries and costs of history through this experience."

The Eye of Observation remained silent for a long time, the projection in the mirror became more blurred, clearly undergoing intense mental struggle.

The atmosphere in the room became extremely oppressive, even breaths were distinctly audible, time seemed to stand still.

Seeing the stalemate, Ron realized he needed to intervene in this conversation.

As one of the core participants of this event, and as a potential beneficiary, he has the responsibility and obligation to help convince the Eye of Observation.

"Lord Eye of Observation."

Ron deeply saluted the blurry figure in the mirror:

"Please allow me, as a junior, to insert a sentence in this serious discussion.

I understand your deep concern for the current situation, and I also understand your desire to maintain a transcendent neutrality.

But please allow me to present some different perspectives and thoughts."

The Eye of Observation’s projection slightly fluctuated, apparently surprised by Ron’s proactive speech.

"Young man, speak your mind."

His tone carried a scrutinizing meaning, clearly wanting to further understand this young wizard who was the focus of many.

"Firstly, regarding the issue of political stance and clan relations."

Ron’s tone was calm and rational, each word carefully considered:

"Eve’s treatment indeed involves the Crown Clan, but she herself has never participated in any political activities, nor has she ever done anything to harm others."

He paused, allowing this viewpoint to fully sink in:

"On the other hand, the research on the Demon Devouring symptoms indeed holds enormous academic value.

If an effective treatment can be found, it will bring breakthroughs to the entire field of therapy, saving not just Eve alone."

The Eye of Observation’s projection ceased fluctuating, evidently contemplating the reasonableness of these arguments.

"Secondly, on the matter of the relationship with Cassandra Tower Master."

Ron continued, his tone becoming more profound:

"We indeed cannot completely sever ties with the Crown Clan out of fear of her alienation.

On the contrary, maintaining a certain degree of influence might be the only effective way to prevent the situation from worsening further."
