After Ange Bailey returned, Gao Yang smiled at Ange Bailey, House, and the others, and said, "You've all worked hard. Let's drink until we drop tonight."

"Hey, it's nothing. The brothers were just a bit bored and wanted to stretch their muscles. If it were really Commander Gao, all these people combined wouldn't be enough to kill."

House waved his hand, then changed the subject, saying with a hint of resentment, "It's good that we don't leave until we're drunk, Commander Gao. You don't know, since you left, the boss hasn't let me touch a drop of alcohol during the bloody battle. I haven't been drunk in a long time."

Looking back now, I realize that I was happiest when I was with you.

"You're talking nonsense! You dare say you haven't been secretly drinking behind my back?" Angie Bailey glared at House, who gave an awkward laugh.

"It's essential to stay clear-headed during a bloody battle, because one wrong move and you'll be in trouble. You should know that, House."

Gao Yang said with a smile, and House rubbed his nose without refuting.

"However, this isn't a bloody battle. As for fine wine, I've collected quite a few."

"Hahaha, Commander Gao really understands me!" Houston burst into laughter.

The battles that followed were no longer relevant to the people on the floating city. Although the challenges were still ongoing, the people on the floating city had already begun their evening banquet.

Gao Yang took out elemental fruit wine and "Life" spirit from his backpack, along with a simple meal of Ice Moon Frost Toad, as well as some dragon meat and Chloe fruit. The former was for grilling, and the latter was for cutting through the greasiness.

As for the flames used for grilling, the legendary mage's magic wasn't just for combat; it was also adept at everyday life.

Under the gradually darkening sky, five fire elemental spirits each held a large piece of dragon flesh, roasting the tough and firm dragon meat with their own flames.

Meanwhile, the stocky and short Captain Andrew, wearing a yellowish chef's hat, strolled leisurely among the five fire elemental spirits, looking every bit the executive chef in charge.

Gao Yang felt that if Andrew hadn't become an adventurer, he could have been an excellent chef in the mortal world, earning at least 500 a day.

"Homage to Tomorrow!"

Under the dragon-patterned night sky, several large glasses clinked together, splashing different colored, fragrant liquors. The aromas, some rich and some refreshing, quickly spread under the heat of the campfire.

Milofina downed the elemental fruit wine in her specially made glass, let out a burp, and then swayed as she stood up from her chair, speaking with a slightly tipsy tone: "Meow~ Let me say a few words!"

Milofina spoke, and the others slowly stopped what they were doing, all smiling as they looked at the somewhat drunk cat spirit.

"Everyone, are you happy today, meow?"

"Happy~" "Of course!"

The different responses to Milofina only deepened her smile.

She looked at everyone with hazy eyes, and suddenly burst into tears: "Waaah~ I'm so glad you're all here. I was really worried that you would die in the bloody battle."

Captain Katarina reached out and hugged Milofina. Milofina instinctively snuggled against her broad chest, finding a comfortable angle to rest against her.

"Thank you for your concern, Milofina. We've been very careful."

Katarina stroked Milofina's little head with a smile, making her eyes squint and purr happily.

Soon, Milofina fell asleep in Katarina's arms, while the others continued to eat meat and drink wine, though the noise was kept quiet by Ange Bailey and did not disturb Milofina's sleep.

Gao Yang and Angie Bailey sat side by side, each holding a large glass of "Life" liquor.

Compared to the rich and mellow flavor of the fruit wine, "Life" spirits are spicier and more stimulating, making them more appealing to men and easier to get drunk on.

"To be honest, sometimes I do consider whether I should find a place or go back to my hometown to settle down."

Angel Bailey looked up at the striking golden dragon pattern against the night sky and said with a touch of emotion.

"Having earned so much wealth in the bloody battle, we need to find a place to spend it, right? Are we going to be like a dragon, a miser, waiting for the hero to come and take away all the wealth we've worked so hard to accumulate?"

Gao Yang smiled and clinked glasses with him, cracking a little joke.

“Of course not.” Angie Bailey downed his glass of strong liquor and sighed heavily. “President Matthew promised to use his connections to find the core of the plane, but I know the chances are slim.”

Without a plane core, the floating city cannot be fully constructed. Without a plane core, the floating city is just an empty shell built up by countless resources. It can only show off its power within the plane and cannot even cross planes.

“There’s no need to worry about that, Commander Bailey,” Gao Yang said with a smile, clinking glasses with him.

Anja Bailey thought Gao Yang was trying to comfort him, so he smiled and said, "Yes, the Goblin and Dwarf Merchant Guild can span countless planes across the entire multiverse, and its power far exceeds our imagination."

"Just a dimensional core; it shouldn't mean much to the branch president of the chamber of commerce."

If President Matthew were here, he would definitely shake his head vigorously and give a triple denial.

For the entire chamber of commerce, the dimensional core is nothing special, but for a branch president, it is still a rare and hard-to-access resource.

In most cases, a branch president does not have the authority to decide the use and trading of a dimensional core. Gao Yang recalled Yuliano's performance when he encountered the dimensional core and laughed heartily, "If President Matthew heard you say that, he would definitely thank you."

Anja Bailey chuckled, then abruptly asked, "Gao Yang, do you think that destroying a plane guarantees obtaining its core?"

Gao Yang's smile faded, and he turned to look at Anja Bailey, whose face was full of seriousness, and sighed inwardly.

It seems that Ange Bailey has also decided to destroy the plane in order to obtain its core. At this moment, he once again understands the allure of the floating city for a spellcaster.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Yang said, "The probability is not small, but the risks involved are also extremely high."

“I know, the Plane Guardians Association, those powerful legends who have gone to extremes in their efforts to protect planes.” Anja Bailey nodded, clearly understanding the consequences of actively destroying a plane.

The ability to traverse the multiverse and dedicate oneself to protecting the planes is admirable in itself.

However, what bothers most plane destroyers is that even if they destroy evil planes, they will still be wanted and hunted down by the Plane Guardians Association.

Of course, it is undeniable that it is precisely because of the extreme protective actions of the Dimensional Guardians Association that the number and speed of unnatural destruction of the entire multiverse has been greatly reduced.

“That’s right, but the plane guardians are admirable, and they are not morally ambiguous.”

Gao Yang nodded, then thought for a moment and took something out of his backpack.

Angie Bailey looked at the transparent crystal in Gao Yang's hand that emitted a faint light, and after just one glance, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

His body began to tremble slightly, and his magic power also began to vibrate.

He stared at the transparent crystal in Gao Yang's hand, his voice trembling as he asked, "Is this... a dimensional core?"

A faint golden light enveloped the dimensional core. Gao Yang casually tossed it aside, nodded, and said, "That's right, a dimensional core with an energy of 38G."

“38G?” Angie Bailey repeated, his eyes fixed intently on the dimensional core in Gao Yang’s hand.

Although a 38G energy unit dimensional core is a bit small, it can support a floating city for more than ten years without any problem, and if you save a little, it can even last for twenty or thirty years.

With this dimensional core, his floating city could be put on the agenda, and once the floating city was completed, he could directly travel through the multiverse.

Angel Bailey did not believe that a plane on the verge of destruction could not be found before the floating city ran out of energy.

Once such a plane is found, and its core is obtained when it is destroyed, then his floating city will no longer be troubled by the plane core.

With a turmoil of thoughts swirling in his mind, Angie Bailey looked at Gao Yang with some uncertainty and asked, "Commander Gao, what about this dimensional core?"

He really wanted to ask if Gao Yang intended to sell him the dimensional core, but he was worried that Gao Yang would shake his head and deny his guess, so he could only speak ambiguously in this hesitant tone.

To his surprise, Gao Yang tossed the dimensional core in his hand to him and said, "I'll lend it to you for now."

Angel Bailey swears that Gao Yang's trash-throwing motion at that moment was the coolest and most charming throwing motion he had ever seen in his life, bar none!

He frantically tried to catch the plane's core, but whether it was because he was too excited or because he had drunk too much "life" made his brain react somewhat sluggishly.

In short, the dimensional core successfully fell into the large glass he was holding, and was immersed in the remaining strong liquor.

Anja Bailey quickly took out the dimensional core and gently wiped it on his expensive robes. After wiping away the wine stains, he finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"Commander Gao, the dimensional core is so precious, how can we just throw it out like that? What if it gets broken?"

After Anja Bailey finished speaking, he gripped the dimensional core tightly in his hand and looked at Gao Yang to confirm, "Is this really for me?"

Gao Yang glanced at him, shook his head and said, "It's not a gift, my Captain Bailey, it's a loan!"
I'm lending it to you, but you have to pay it back later, and not only that, you have to pay it back double. Understand?

Anja Bailey gripped the dimensional core tightly in his hand, as if he were holding the future in his grasp, and nodded vigorously, saying, "Don't worry, Commander Gao, I will not only repay you, but I will repay you double in the future."

Gao Yang waved his hand and raised his wine glass.

The crisp sound of glass clashing rang out in the night sky, but was drowned out by the clamor of voices rising below.

The internal meetings were still being held, but unlike in the past, this one was extremely intense and bloody.

As for the reason, it was naturally because the methods of the Immortal Wasteland were too ruthless. Apart from the newly promoted Immortal Wasteland and the timely defection of Dagon, the other three forces of the Flowing Seat had most of their legendary powerhouses killed. Their condition was so bad that even the phrase "wounded and broken" was not enough to describe it.

It is precisely because of this that the five major powers and even more second-tier powers in the reserve seats saw an opportunity to climb up the ranks, and thus began to fight desperately for the last three circulating seats.

The battle continued until the morning of the third day, when a legendary figure, his body shattered, shakily pulled his sword from his opponent's chest, finally bringing the competition for the spot to an end.

Two factions from the reserve list, plus one faction that was previously at the bottom of the first-tier factions and had only four legendary figures, successfully secured the final three spots.

With this, the internal meeting of Eberron has concluded, and the new top ten powers have been selected. They will travel to the Throne of Eberron, the largest island in the endless sea at the center of the four continents, in six months to participate in the highest meeting of this world.
