"Take me back to the surface," Wyatt said not bothering to reject the Field Marshal again and the latter appeared to have gotten the hint.
Wyatt and his multiple primordial spirits together had copied the entire external design of the celestial array formation using his primordial soul pupils. Now, he needed to focus on understanding its principles and workings, which he could only do by thoroughly exploring it from within.
The Field Marshal, understanding that nothing she said would change Wyatt's mind about their guild's name, shook her head in helplessness before proceeding to bring her young liege back to the realm's surface.
She had finally found the thing she did not like about Wyatt, his naming sense. He had the worst naming sense among the people she knew. For someone who invented so many popular products appreciated and used by billions, she felt he could use a better naming sense.
Returning before the space disaster that had swallowed the meteor shower, Wyatt stared that space that appeared like multiple tidal waves collapsing on them, "Field Marshal, I need to figure out how this realm is using space disasters to extract the resources from the meteors/asteroids and gather resources in its crust. I could use your space rule expertise on this one!"
Although his primordial soul pupils allowed him to see and learn the truth of all things, his understanding of the celestial array formation would be limited by his lack of knowledge in this field. He could try to learn the required knowledge and complete the Lil Red Storm's celestial array formation, but that would take a lot of time.
However, if he were to recruit the Field Marshal's help, she could use her expertise to learn how the space disaster extracted the resources from meteors and asteroids and buried them in its realm's crust. Then, she could specifically teach Wyatt what he was missing and needed to understand this celestial array formation, instead of him having to learn every book Dredre recommended to him on the application of space in array formation.
Though this approach would save him a lot of time and trouble now, in the long run, he would have a learned application of space in the field of array formation once and for all but he could do it some other time too. After all, he was short time right now not manpower or means. It was all about time management.
Yes, Wyatt would have borrowed the books from the Infinity Library by freeing some of his primordial spirits busy with decoding the celestial array formation design from him to instead comprehend the borrowed books for him, but he went against his instincts and decided to recruit the Field Marshal's help because he wanted to put his words "sharing responsibility and asking help" into action. He was trying to be the change he wanted to see in himself.
However, old habits die hard. In the end, unable to suppress his instincts, just to be on the safe side, he sent Dredre a text through his demon codex asking her to help him borrow books on the application of space in high-rank array formations from the Infinity Library for reference.
Wyatt didn't doubt the Field Marshal's understanding of space rules, he feared she might not have a proper grasp of the application space in array formations. Although she had rudimentary knowledge of array formations, she wasn't a full-fledged array master. Besides, change doesn't happen overnight it requires time. As long as he was willing to take the initiative to change and put in the
required effort it was only a matter of time.
Listening to Wyatt's request, the Field Marshal stared at him with wide eyes. Even before meeting Wyatt, she had heard her husband, grandniece, sister-in-law, and others rave about his talents in Card Creation and Array Formation.
Her husband, notoriously difficult to please when it came to array formations, praised Wyatt endlessly. He even planned to use Wyatt to win bets among the heads of five regions' array master associations and ascend to the demigod rank, inspired by the rewarded divinity.
Everyone she knew agreed that Wyatt was a genius, but they also agreed that he was too arrogant. Her husband, in particular, believed that Wyatt's arrogance would eventually be his downfall. However, upon meeting Wyatt, the Field Marshal saw something others hadn't: Wyatt's arrogance wasn't a product of his ego or a belief in his superiority. It was a defense mechanism, pushing people away. He might be a genius in many areas, but when it came to human relations, he seemed to have unresolved past traumas.
So he preferred to keep his distance from humans altogether, however, because of his unparalleled genius and kind heart that would never be possible. Still, was it because of fate or his kind heart, he was surrounded by good people and friends who cared about him. Being in their company appeared to be slowly healing his past traumas and opening his heart to new possibilities that he had previously closed to.
Being a part of his growth and journey helped the Field Marshal find the satisfaction she was previously missing when working for her niece. Especially, today when Wyatt decided to ask for help instead of trying to solve everything by himself. She felt she made the right choice. However, knowing that if her work were not able to meet Wyatt's standard he would redo all of the work himself, she did not dare to slack off and planned to give her a hundred present.
"Don't worry Wyatt, I will not disappoint you," the Field Marshal declared as she activated her unique pupils to gauge the space disaster in front of her. She single mindedly mobolized all of her attention to exploring the mystery of the space disaster in hopes to prove herself to Wyatt. Seeing her like this who had borrowed the books on the application of space in array formation felt a little ashamed. Yet, went ahead and assigned a few of his primordial spirits to comprehend them and share them with him and the rest of the primordial spirits. It was not that Wyatt was unable to let go of control, it was only that he strongly believed that if he wanted to get somethings done right he had to do it himself.
