When the land was occupied by demons, people had no choice but to flee to the sky. After transmigration, Ricky found that he had become the City Lord of a Sky City. He quickly became familiar with this new world and established a clear direction for survival, which was to resolutely engage in farming (kingdombuilding)! He would farm (kingdombuilding) diligently, develop vigorously, and then gallop through the skies. If anyone disagrees, then launch a great sky battle. Or a war!
Orton thus stayed in Thunderhawk City, becoming Rocky's teacher.
This turn of events was completely unexpected to everyone, but on second thought, it seemed to make sense.
Orton was an academic fanatic, despite his age, his pursuit of academic knowledge had never ceased, so when he learned of the existence of Mana Runes that completely overlapped with his field of expertise, he was absolutely unable to let go.
At the same time, since he was only focused on research, he didn't value the immense power and prestige that Mana Runes could bring, in Orton's eyes, money, fame, rights, and status were all external matters, and he didn't care about them at all.
Yes, if Orton cared about these things, he wouldn't have ended up in the predicament he was in today.
Therefore, his decision to stay in Thunderhawk City, although surprising at a glance, was actually quite reasonable upon reflection.
