However, just as they looked at Byron, they realized what was happening.

Byron was right.

Now that the Mother Nest has been found, Byron, as a second-class wizard apprentice, should remain in this place in case any danger arises.

Not only would he not be of any help, but he would also be easily injured, delaying the subsequent refining of the magic potion.

The people present weren't fools; they quickly weighed the pros and cons.

After thinking it all through, Dylan nodded slightly.

"Byron, what you say makes sense. Since this is your own choice, you will come back with me tomorrow."

At this point, Dylan's expression suddenly turned serious, and he stared directly at Byron.

"However, Byron, while we are away, you should stay in your own quarters as much as possible to avoid being targeted by those with ulterior motives."

"At least they won't be so blatant inside the parliament building. If you are threatened, you can seek help at the parliament building."

"I will not take everyone in the council with me."

Byron knew, of course, that Dylan was saying this for his own good, and he smiled and nodded in agreement, not refusing his kindness.

At this moment, Dylan seemed to remember something and suddenly took out a corpse from his spatial bag.

It was the corpse of the Phantom Crystal Creeper that they had killed before, and it was the only one.

Because after encountering it, everyone became more prepared and would hide before the other phantom crystal worms discovered them.

Therefore, they did not kill any more people in subsequent operations.

This thwarted Byron's plans.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Byron was puzzled, wondering why Dylan had taken it out.

Seeing Byron's puzzled look, Dylan explained directly without beating around the bush.

"Byron, I didn't initially think you could find the Mother Nest. The reason I asked you to lead the way was to use your knowledge of the desert to help us avoid some risks."

"But now it seems that the result is beyond our expectations. We did not expect that you would be able to play such a big role in the process of finding the mother nest."

"Therefore, based on the principle of equivalent exchange, I have decided to give you the corpse of this Phantom Crystal Creeper as payment for your time here."

At this point, Dylan chuckled.

"Of course, I also have a selfish reason for this, which is to allow you to continue your research and experiments without having to go out during that period."

"This way, we can also reduce the complications in potion making."

Upon hearing Dylan's words, Byron suddenly understood.

It turns out that Dylan had this two-birds-with-one-stone plan.

However, Byron did not intend to reject Dylan's proposal.

After all, he had decided from the beginning that once he returned, he would never step out of the camp again.

After all, he could imagine the uproar that would occur once the bodies were discovered at the base.

As one of the parties involved, he is sure to attract the attention of countless people.

Therefore, for Byron, it was better to remain still than to act.

Everyone else looked at Byron, waiting for his decision, their eyes filled with worry.

After all, if it were them, they wouldn't even need to think about it; they definitely wouldn't agree.

They're just experimental subjects; how could we let them stay in the base without ever going out?

This is a completely new world, with countless unknowns waiting for them to explore and discover.

This is completely sacrificing the greater for the lesser.

To everyone's surprise, Byron not only did not refuse, but instead nodded and accepted with a smile.

"Thank you so much for your kindness, Chairman. I'll gladly accept this research subject."

Upon hearing Byron's words, Elena and Corin did not show the same surprise as the others; instead, they felt that this was exactly how it should be.

After all, they knew Byron and that as long as he had experimental materials or new knowledge to learn, he could stay in his dormitory for a month without going out.

However, at this point, Byron gave an embarrassed smile.

"However, this experimental subject may have to stay in your space bag for a while longer, President. My space bag isn't that big, so I can only take it away after we return to the base."

"Furthermore, I hope that when you conquer the Mother Nest in the future, you can leave me some materials."

"Don't worry, I will pay the corresponding points or magic stones to redeem it based on its value."

Upon hearing Byron's words, Dylan was taken aback at first, then laughed and nodded.

"Keep this material with me for now, I'll give it to you when we get back to the base. As for the other materials..."

At this point, Dylan paused for a moment before continuing.

"I'll have the members who returned to the base to replenish supplies bring you the other Mother Nest materials. As for points or magic stones, don't worry about that, we'll talk about it later."

Byron understood that Dylan had agreed so readily in order to keep him from wandering off and causing any accidents.

But little did he know that this was exactly what Byron wanted.

Byron immediately smiled and said, "Then thank you very much, Chairman."

Dylan waved his hand: "It's nothing, just a small matter."

After Byron and his companion finished their discussion, the others continued their previous conversation, discussing various arrangements for the Mother Nest.

.........

Two days later, at the wizard's residence.

After placing the Phantom Crystal Corpse from his spatial bag in a corner of the room, Dylan smiled and took his leave.

Byron tried to persuade Dylan to stay a few more times, but seeing that Dylan really wanted to leave, he didn't say anything more and saw him out.

Seeing Dylan walk away, Byron turned back to his residence, closed the gate, and activated a magic circle to shut out the noise from the encampment.

After entering the camp, Byron noticed the strange way the wizard apprentices were looking at him.

At first he was a little confused, but after noticing that most of the attention was directed at Dylan, while he only occupied a small portion of the view, he immediately understood.

It must have been that the place became known to everyone, and he became a lucky one who managed to latch onto a powerful figure.

Although Byron showed no outward sign of surprise at the result, he was secretly overjoyed.

This is exactly the result he wanted.

In this way, not many people will notice him, and he can quietly do his own thing.

Byron didn't linger in the living room. After checking to make sure no one had come in, he carried the corpse of the Phantom Crystal Wraith towards the laboratory deep inside.

In this experiment, he intends to thoroughly study the chest armor of the Crystal Guardian and the Phantom Crystal Wriggle.

Oh, and there's also the Silent Mind Crystal Elixir recipe that Dylan gave him, made primarily of Primal Crystal Elixir, which can transform mental power.

Actually, when Byron and Dylan left the camp, Dylan gave him the potion, asking him to study it carefully and try to master it.

However, after putting everything in the laboratory, Byron did not rush to start the experiment. Instead, he walked outside and left his residence.

After all, this time I'm fully committed to it, and there are three research directions in total.

These are "The Structure and Material Composition of the Chest Armor of the Crystal Marrow Guardian", "A Study on the Similarity between the Control of Ordinary Worms and the Mother Worm by the Illusion Crystal Wriggle", and finally, "An Analysis of the Silent Crystal Marrow Potion".

All three types of research require a considerable amount of time.

Therefore, this also means that the experiment will take a long time, so everything must be prepared.

Only in this way can you fully immerse yourself in it.
