Adrian left the shocked Ascalor after he was told that there may be a spell that could fuse planets but only Old Man Pann might know of it. Adrian immediately went to the farm area, and he is shocked that there are actually a lot of players doing some farm work. He could see them crying but they were still energetically doing the work.
"It seems that your farmhands have increased, old man." Adrian stated as he could see Old Man Pann lounging and overlooking all the players doing his work.
"Your bulletin is a very nice way to introduce some work to those people that are struggling. Even if they do not do it perfectly, they can still do it satisfactorily." Old Man Pann stated.
In fact, players that arrived in Avalon are going crazy about the quests that Old Man Pann makes. Doing one day of work from him gives one or two contribution points depending on the difficulty. Players are going crazy over the fact that contribution points to this territory can make you a resident and also buy a Pocket Dimension Home.
The Pocket Dimension Home is the best item that one can buy in Avalon, but the necessary contribution points are large. Adrian set it this way because the number of Pocket Dimension Homes are still limited. He needs to increase the area of his territory in order to have more space, but he is happy with the current size. Any bigger territory would be difficult to govern as security would be low since the Daemos are not always present in the territory.
"So, what have you come here for, brat? You do not visit me because you miss me. You need something from me." Old Man Pann stated as Adrian created a soundproof barrier.
"I am in search of a spell that can pull and fuse two worlds together. It is a mission from the Twin Gods before they went to sleep." Adrian stated.
"Fusing worlds? That magic is already at the realm of the gods. You can pull a world from another dimension but fusing them would need the power of life. Only the gods of life and death combined can make that happen." Old Man Pann stated.
"Well, I can solve the issue about the Gods of Life and Death. What I need is a spell. Do you have one?" Adrian asked.
"I do have one, but it is only half. The other half is located in a place that you have visited before." Old Man Pann stated.
"What place? I visited lots of places." Adrian stated.
"Alfheim. The other half is safeguarded by the Fae Council." Old Man Pann stated.
"Why is the other half in Alfheim?" Adrian asked.
"Because the other half of the spell would be cast by a member of the Faekin. Fusing two worlds is not an easy task as there is a lot of energy that needs to be used. In order to get that much energy, one would need a powerful source that can power a planet." Old Man Pann stated.
"A Tree of Life or a Tree of Death. Those trees would have enough power to make the spell activate." Adrian stated as he realized the answer.
"Correct. It seems that my teachings are not wasted on you. You would need to work in tandem with a Faekin in order to attempt the spell. Lucky for you, the Envoy of the Twin Gods is a Leshy and a friend of yours." Old Man Pann stated.
"Then that is good!" Adrian stated as he held out his hand.
"What are you doing?" Old Man Pann asked.
"Asking for you to hand over the spell." Adrian replied but Old Man Pann suddenly laughed.
"Did you think that I will give it to you willingly? You need to earn it just like what I imagine your friend is doing right now." Old Man Pann stated.
"I thought it would have been easy, but it seems that it is not. Tell me what I need to do." Adrian stated.
"This test is not because I do not want to give it to you but to prepare you for the actual spell casting. If you are immature and unprepared then your very existence would be erased from the feedback. You are manipulating energies that are in the realm of the divine." Old Man Pann stated as a notification popped up in front of Adrian.

Note: Only a member of the Daemos acknowledged by all the Elders will be able to partake in this quest.
"What are these numbers!? I do not think even a year would be enough for me to finish this quest." Adrian exclaimed in shock.
Adrian is confident in his spell casting and such, but he knows that the elders are not one to evaluate generously. The Daemos Elders are very strict when it comes to grading the magic proficiency of the Daemos. Adrian would even hear stories of them crying in another pocket dimension as they were strictly rated.
"Since you are already here, maybe you can rate my Origin Magic Proficiency?" Adrian stated.
"I will only rate you once the other elders have rated you. Also, I should warn you that you might have been slacking off and only using the spells that you know too much. You are limiting yourself too much." Old Man Pann stated.
"Since you do not want to rate me, can I at least know what are the factors that can affect the proficiency rating?" Adrian asked.
"It takes in multiple factors such as intelligence, mastery, and even applicational use." Old Man Pann stated.
"Wait?! Do not tell me that I will have to fight the other elder?" Adrian asked.
"It seems that you already have an idea. All young Daemos must be evaluated by the elders personally at least once a year. It also enhances the chances of them becoming a greater demon. You were exempted from this because you are already an Arch Demon. Greater Demons can take their tests once every five years. Arch Demons can take theirs once every twenty years." Old Man Pann stated.
"I am already regretting my decision. Can you not like send me to a difficult quest? Like killing a powerful beast or something?" Adrian asked.
"That would be much easier for you because you are also a summoner. What needs to be tested in the proficiency is that specific element. It is also the reason why we have three elders that specialize in other elements." Old Man Pann stated.
"But why is the rating needed so high? I mean 80% is something close to that of a Grand Master." Adrian stated.
"That is actually just the minimum needed for you to cast the spell that you want. Remember that this is training for you to cast the spell and not just some normal evaluation." Old Man Pann stated.
"Right. Forgot about that part. But why is there a one-year time limit?" Adrian asked.
"I know that you will push it as long as you can if I do not set a time limit, brat. Also, you need to get stronger in a year as well because the gods are observing you more than before. It is already such a drag blocking their vision in this territory.
The barrier that I casted across the territory can detect the peeping eyes of the gods. It seems that your performance with the fight against the High Goddesses have caught their unneeded attention. You would need to at least be that proficient in order to fool the gazes of the gods." Old Man Pann stated as he was informed of what happened to Adrian.
Old Man Pann knows that the Arch Demon before them might not just have the blood of Asmodian. He thinks that Adrian has the blood of an even more ancient being. The descriptions given by the other elders made him think that way.
