Chapter 1130 Reencounter with Zoe, Takamagahara's Scheme!
Chapter 1130 Reencounter with Zoe, The Scheme in the High Heavens!
Rain Marshland, Triangle Zone, Wizard Airship Dock.
Wizard Trajan said to Locke, "Now that you're a Moon Ring Archmage, your airship tickets are generally free within a zone. In addition, depending on the type of airship, there will be 5-10 free tickets for your student apprentices. However, these free tickets are restricted; many functions of the airship are unavailable."

"Also, it's not completely free. I remember Moon Ring Wizards only get three free tickets a year." "
Besides that, we can also enter the VIP area for Moon Ring Wizards and above. If a non-Moon Ring Wizard wants to enter the VIP area, they have to pay a difference of about one million magic stones."
Locke nodded. "A Moon Ring wizard has so many privileges,"
Wizard Trajan chuckled. "Starting as a Moon Ring wizard, they can become an important assistant to a Third Ring wizard. However, the threshold for a teacher is quite high, so at least a Sun Ring wizard can serve as their assistant. Generally speaking, though, a Moon Ring wizard who wants to assist a Third Ring wizard should be able to find such a job. Besides, there are very few jobs that are difficult for wizards of this rank to obtain. Moon Ring wizards have already entered the inner circle of the wizarding world."
"When you become a Sun Ring wizard in the future, you'll experience even more privileges,"
Trajan sighed. "Finally, one day, I can share a free ticket with you, my junior brother."
At this moment, the dock was already filled with waiting wizards.
A floating vessel shaped like a goldfish appeared in the sky. The entire vessel looked like an extremely exquisite multi-tiered ship, with many oars constantly propelling it below the deck, as if it were swimming among the clouds.
This wizarding airship was called the Golden Scale Fish Tower.
Trajan glanced at Nika, who was standing beside Locke. "I wonder who could be so cruel to this child. To cast such a curse on him. If he hadn't met you, he probably wouldn't have lived to be twelve."
Nika lowered his head, following Locke beside him, not daring to speak.
Locke smiled. "Not necessarily."
"If someone keeps feeding him first-level potions, using special techniques to ensure his safety, and he miraculously survives, then things will change. In my estimation, the effects of the first-level potions he drank will concentrate and explode, enhancing his physique and innate talents."
Trajan the wizard asked in surprise, "Hmm? There are so many tricks to it?"
"You mean the wizard who cast this curse on him actually wanted to enhance his talent?" Trajan the wizard became interested. "You're a potion master, you're an expert in this area."
The Golden Scale Fish Tower gradually came to rest on the ground, and the waiting wizards began to board using the floating stairs.
Locke glanced at Nika and pondered, "I can't be sure yet. But I know the wizard who could cast this curse on him is definitely not simple. I already asked an expert on curses, and he told me that it's less of a curse and more of a physical alteration surgery. But the situation I just described is the result of my intervention as a potion master."
"What if I hadn't intervened?"
Locke thought for a moment. "It's a different story. I believe the wizard who modified his physique had no good intentions; he was just using him to create a special curse. Based on the information we have so far, I boldly speculate that the curse's effect is to reverse most things that happen to a person." "
If this wizard can create a curse of this level and effect for himself, he's essentially gained an extremely powerful magical resource. He could drink poison every day, using it as a magical resource and a potion to enhance his magic power." "
In other words, someone is using this child to create an extremely powerful spell. It's truly unscrupulous. Of course, this is just my speculation. But all the signs on this child suggest that this isn't a coincidence, but rather a carefully orchestrated scheme."
Wizard Trajan nodded and said, "That's why they chose the Snake Swamp area, a suburb of the Rain Swamp. Only here are the regulations lax. If this is discovered, this person will likely spend the rest of their life doing community service in a wizarding prison."
"Logically speaking, this isn't Golden Crown Mountain's recruitment area. If you recruit here, wizards from other wizarding academies can't be sure whether you're recruiting on behalf of Golden Crown Mountain, or whether you're just an individual wizard who happened to encounter a promising student who wants to take on an apprentice. The former is illegal, the latter is legal. However, generally speaking, if a wizard wants to recruit a student with good talent in an unfamiliar area, they will most likely encounter obstruction and interception from local wizarding forces."
"However, this child is special, so no one is interfering."
"If it were any other Child of the Elements, there would probably be a lot of trouble,"
Wizard Trajan said. "Of course, if the wizards who set up this child discover that you're taking him away, they might suddenly appear to obstruct us."
Locke and Trajan exchanged a glance.
Locke said, "If he appears, we won't need to go any further."
Trajan also smiled confidently. "That's true."
Locke and Trajan led Nika up the floating staircase. Nika, seeing such a thousand-meter-high, openwork floating staircase for the first time, was terrified, yet also curious about this unknown world before him, feeling a strong sense of exploration. He followed behind Locke, looking down at the landing below, seeing the scenery a thousand meters below, and feeling the sound of his clothes fluttering in the wind.
Nika even felt a little dazed.
A former beggar was now standing a thousand meters in the air. He never imagined he would encounter such a thing. What else would he encounter after following this great man?
Locke and Trajan boarded the airship, where a beautiful first-ring witch bowed to them and led the three to the VIP area within the airship. This VIP area was better equipped and more ornately decorated, and only wizards of the moon ring or higher were allowed there.
Therefore, the entire VIP free library was empty, containing only some luxurious sofas and numerous rare spellbooks.
The first-ring witch turned and bowed to Trajan. "Pillar Wizard, according to the White Wizarding Association's regulations, guests of your status can proceed to the designated single lounge area. Would you like to go?"
Trajan nodded. "No need. I'll stay here."
The first-ring witch bowed respectfully to him, then continued, "Pillar Wizard, as a significant contributor to wizarding civilization, you are a cornerstone of civilization. Therefore, you can enjoy the magical tides created by the elemental furnace within the wizard airship free of charge.
"We have already increased the magical tides here to their highest concentration. If you have any requests, you can immediately find the crew, and we will do our utmost to serve you."
"In addition, you have many privileges, such as you can request the wizard airship to change its course exceptionally, as long as it affects the arrival time by one hour. You can also request the crew to stop for half an hour at buildings in the next sky, such as the Thunder God's Palace and the Water God's Palace—"
"————"
Wizard Trajan waved his hand, seemingly somewhat uncomfortable. "Alright, I don't like to be long-winded. You can go now."
The first-ring witch immediately bowed to Wizard Trajan first, then to Wizard Locke again, and then respectfully left. Before leaving, she looked at Wizard Trajan with awe, while cautiously observing the magic door of the library.
She seemed to regard Trajan as a god.
This was understandable; Pillar Wizard was a special title. Once obtained, one received a specific amount of money from the White Wizarding Association annually and enjoyed unique privileges throughout the wizarding world. These privileges weren't just financial; they also included the reverence wizards held for the Pillar Wizard.
Only wizards with significant academic contributions could earn the title of Pillar Wizard.
While numerous new titles were issued annually by various wizarding organizations in the Eastern Frontier, the four Sun Ring Wizard titles, with Pillar Wizard at the top, always held the highest prestige. This was because they involved funding from the White Wizarding Association and required specific publications and academic achievements.
In the eyes of ordinary wizards, a wizard with this title was already a seeker and guide of truth worthy of their respect.
Trajan shrugged at Locke. "There's no way around it. Ever since I got this title and registered my identity, people have known who I am, and these kinds of troublesome situations keep popping up. Everyone seems to worship this title above my head too much." "
Sometimes I really want to suggest that the association create a system to hide certain parts of the title."
"So that I won't be stared at with worshipful eyes wherever I go. When I first came to the Rain Marsh, I even met a Star Ring Wizard who asked me for guidance on the way."
Locke smiled; this was a kind of Versailles.
The title of Pillar Wizard was so prestigious, so many wizards had to strive for it, but in his senior brother's mouth, it sounded like he was being persecuted by this title.
Locke said, "Senior brother, congratulations on obtaining the title of Pillar Wizard. This title is well-deserved for you."
The wizard Trajan's lips curled up slightly, but he quickly suppressed it. "It's all thanks to you for diverting a lot of attention for me. Every time a pillar wizard is selected, besides the fierce competition in the project before vying for the title, everyone uses all sorts of superpowers. They use magic stones to find shortcuts for themselves, so every selection is quite chaotic. As for whether money is actually useful, whether it has a positive or negative impact on the selection of titles, that's a myth."
Locke asked Wizard Trajan, "So, did you use magic stones during this title selection, senior brother?" Wizard Trajan
shook his head and said, "No, I just treated some people to a meal afterward. But my situation is special. You don't know how many wizards' attention your competition attracted this time. Your methods of investigating the experimental accident were too extreme. You went and claimed you would challenge a wizard's territory one-on-one, making the White Wizard Association of Rainswamp think that Cloudswamp had specially sent you there to put pressure on them. They kept making statements through the association's channels, trying to ascertain your purpose."
"Many people mistakenly thought this was some kind of grand operation, believing there were benefits to be gained. Therefore, many wizards were drawn to you, and some even stopped competing with me for the title. Thus, my application this time was perfectly timed, advantageous, and supported by all sides." "
Afterwards, these wizards asked me if this was a conspiracy by our lineage."
Locke's expression was strange. "Was what I did really that outrageous? They actually gave up their title applications to focus on me."
Wizard Trajan smiled wryly. "Junior brother, you could take on the entire Wizarding Lands single-handedly. The Rain Marshland is vast, with countless wizards. For many years, no one has done anything like this. Even our teachers back then only provoked one or two wizarding academies. How could you be so absurd, setting the entire Wizarding Lands on fire just to investigate something?"
Locke said, "Senior brother, I was simply investigating the truth and fulfilling my duty."
Wizard Trajan nodded . "In short, you really stole the show this time," he said. "By the way, it will take another 27 days to return to Cloudze Wetlands. You can do some things during this time. I've been helping my teacher acquire a special magical plant recently. My people have already located its location, so I'll go and get busy."
Locke nodded and said, "Okay."
After the wizard Trajan left, Locke asked the apprentices on the ship to take care of Nika. Then he began to read the project materials that the witch Catherine had given him, and at the same time, he began to organize his findings in Despair Valley and write corresponding articles.
Inside the library, Locke focused on the materials he was organizing. There were many articles to write this time, and just organizing and writing them would take some time.
The garden cave structure of the seven bottle worlds.
These seven articles could be published on Razer, but the one involving the Ten Kings Bottles needed careful consideration about where to publish it, since this one was more important and could truly change something in the wizarding world.
Besides, the methods for cultivating the Great Demon Sword Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow and the Great Demon Sword Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow Forest, as well as the methods for cultivating White Tiger Sea Gold Sand, can all be used to publish articles.
Publishing these in Raize would likely result in rejection, but publishing in Rainze would better suit the aesthetic preferences of Rainze's wizard editors.
Articles on the Four Holy Blessings are less likely to be published in high-level journals, as this is something the witch Catherine has thoroughly researched.
However, his own Fake Forging - Small Leather and Magic Potion Reverse Training method are different.
"In other words, I have nine articles that can be published in Zone 1, and three more that are very important, which can be published in more selective journals than just ordinary Zone 1 articles."
Locke glanced at his Water Hyacinth System, only to find that there were far too many wizards wanting to meet and talk to him.
Fortunately, there were few second-circle wizards on this airship, otherwise, he feared he would have a very unpleasant experience on a wizard airship ride.
Locke pondered, "I can organize my thoughts now and find a generalist wizard to help me write it when I get back. I've accumulated so much in Despair Valley. Besides the things I can publish articles on, I've gained a lot more. If I could gather enough ritual magic, I could publish an article on that. But I'll pass on ritual magic for now."
Locke thought for a moment; he didn't need an article on that for the time being.
So, he decided to hold off on publishing articles on something as sensitive as the Tower of the Black Sun.
Locke began organizing his thoughts in the library.
Half a month later, when Locke left the free library in the VIP area, he encountered an unexpected person in the corridor. Although this person had someone else's face painted on their face by a magic painter, Locke recognized them at a glance. This person was Zoe, the witch from the Purple Path of Exile in the Wizarding Land of High Heaven. The
dark wizard barrier master who always attacked wizard airships.
At this moment, Zoe the Witch seemed to recognize Locke as well. In the corridor, Zoe saw Locke and wore a look of utter misfortune. After her last encounter with Locke, she lost a treasure map and a newly stolen power gem. And now she'd run into him again.
Something was wrong.
Zoe asked Locke, "I—I—you—you, I clearly blacklisted your name. If your name appeared on the flight list, I would absolutely not board this wizard airship. How could I still run into you?"
Zoe's face was contorted with worry; she feared Locke would rob her again.
Locke understood the key point. "List? I remember the list of wizards entering the VIP area was strictly confidential and not publicly available. You could only know how many people were in the VIP area, but not their identities, right?"
Zoe froze, her mind going blank.
"You? The VIP area? If you can enter the VIP area, that means you're already a Moon Ring Wizard?
You—you're a Moon Ring Wizard?"
Locke nodded.
Zoe, still in the crystallization stage, stared at Locke with a look of utter disbelief, taking a half-step back.
The last time Zoe met Locke, he was a Star Ring Wizard; this time, he was a Moon Ring Wizard.
Zoe felt this speed was too fast, almost like a dream. "Next time I meet you, you won't be a Sun Ring Wizard, will you?"
Zoe's lips curled into a bitter smile. "And the time after that, you'll be a Three Ring Wizard?"
She felt Locke was practically a different species; his advancement was simply too rapid.
Locke glanced at her. "It can't be that exaggerated."
"Zoe, are you trying to hijack this wizard airship?"
Zoe realized something. She heard footsteps, quickly left the corridor, and found another way to escape. Less than a minute after she left, a group of wizards rushed into the corridor. These wizards seemed to be looking for someone; their gazes turned unfriendly when they saw Locke.
The group of second-ring wizards looked at Locke and questioned, "Sir, did you see a witch pass by here? She was unremarkable and seemed rather honest. We suspect she's a wanted dark wizard pirate, and we're searching for her. She also stole some of our things."
Locke glanced at them, said nothing, and headed towards the path Zoe had taken to escape.
Just then, one of the three second-ring wizards, who appeared to be the youngest and had some velociraptor-like features, was about to step forward and stop Locke, looking quite impatient. However, the most mature-looking wizard among the three seemed to realize something upon seeing Locke and quickly blocked the young second-ring wizard's path.
"What are you doing? This is Lord Locke Augustine, the Moon Ring Wizard."
The second-ring wizard whispered to his younger classmate, "Don't panic. This is very inappropriate. It would be ridiculous to offend a Moon Ring Wizard because of this."
The older second-ring wizard bowed to Locke and said, "Lord Augustine, please forgive our rudeness. We were impolite just now, please forgive us. We lost something and were so anxious that we lost our composure."
Locke nodded to him, indicating that he had forgiven them.
Then the three of them hurriedly left, heading towards a passage that was opposite Locke's direction of travel.
After the three had gone some distance, the witch Zoe emerged from around the corner of the passage, letting out a sigh of relief. She bowed to Locke and said, "Lord Augustine, thank you for your help."
"These three are wizards from the Wind Scythe Dragon Garden. They can use wind magic to detect the traces of my spirit touch. They're really troublesome. These are the most troublesome wizards I've ever encountered; they actually managed to catch me all the way up to this wizard airship."
The witch Zoe exhaled a breath of lingering fear. "I thought I couldn't escape."
"Thank you for misleading them, you helped me."
Locke said, "Wind Scythe Dragon Garden? I remember you. I read an article about the Wind Trace Spell series of spells by one of their wizarding instructors. That garden has been researching how to use the properties of wind magic to gather spiritual touches and capture the traces of spiritual touches left by a person passing through a certain area. However, this kind of magic is very complicated to calculate. The more interference factors are added, the more difficult the calculation becomes. If you carry more magical artifacts and accessories, you can solve their tracking problem."
The witch Zoe bowed to Locke again, "Thank you for your guidance, Archmage Augustine."
"But why did you help me? Is there something you need my help with? Or are you interested in what I got this time? I stole a Wind Magic Stone from them, a valuable resource—"
Locke said with little interest, "Ms. Zoe, I'm no longer interested in what you stole."
The witch Zoe felt a little bitter. Once upon a time, her magic level was far higher than Locke's, but now Locke had even reached the point of not being interested in what she stole.
yes.
For a Grand Wizard of the Moon Ring, what was the significance of a Crystallized Wizard stealing from three Second Ring Wizards?
He had no reason to even ask what she had stolen.
It was pointless.
Locke glanced at the Witch Zoe. Perhaps she mistakenly believed he had helped her, but in reality, the opposite was true; he had helped the three Second Ring Wizards. "
When I was in the Second Ring, I could already sense the strangeness about this Witch Zoe and kept my distance,"
Locke mused. "However, strangely, the special black aura emanating from this Witch Zoe is even stronger than before." The three wizards hadn't noticed anything amiss. "Does this aura increase as the Witch Zoe's magical pressure rises?" At this moment, the auras of the Witch Zoe and the three Second Ring Wizards were intertwined. The more the three Second Ring Wizards tried to target and hunt her down, the more their auras were devoured by the witch.
Even Lady Zoe herself didn't know that, in my eyes, she was a taboo subject of supernatural tales. "If I hadn't become a Moon Ring Wizard, possessing homeostasis and able to slightly resist that dark aura, I wouldn't even want to have deep contact with her."
Locke saw that the dark aura seemed to be spreading, heading towards the three second-ring wizards.
Those three second-ring wizards would continue to try to hunt down Zoe the Witch, and their aura would be devoured by her. Locke even had a guess that if the three continued to hunt Zoe the Witch, not only would she not be in mortal danger, but she might even become a second-ring wizard herself.
And the three of them would be truly at risk of death.
This Zoe the Witch of High Heaven Plains is really strange.
I don't know what the leader of the Western District Wizarding Division is trying to do, letting Zoe the Witch become a pirate on the nearby wizard airship line, and yet she has such a strange aura. As long as you get entangled with her and become her enemy, you will push her to the brink, causing her aura to grow stronger and stronger.
I don't want that dark aura to continue to strengthen on this wizard airship; it won't do me any good. That's why I just let those three chase in the wrong direction. I'm saving them.
Zoe the Witch caught up with Locke.
Locke looked at Zoe the Witch and realized that the black aura seemed to think his magical pressure was too strong, so it was actually avoiding him.
"What is it?"
Zoe the Witch asked. "Great Wizard Augustine, although I am cunning and ruthless, people with such character flaws need to have one or two strengths to avoid being killed in the world. Otherwise, how can we survive? You helped me just now, and I must repay you. You may not care much about the magical resources I have right now, but I have some information."
Locke paused and looked at Zoe the Witch. "Oh?"
Zoe the Witch said, "As a pirate, I must be well-informed. The inland routes of wizard airships are the lifeline of the wizarding world. I pay attention to this information all day long and know a lot of inside information. Some of this information has been spread by malicious people to manipulate people's hearts and spread anxiety, but some of it is indeed true inside information. I know some information that may be very crucial to you. I think the Melochy Magic Cloth Wizard Shoes Alliance may be swallowed up by Solas Barefoot!"
Locke looked at Zoe the Witch in surprise. "These two shop alliances are from the same lineage, and both are managed by the same witch, Rose. How could they possibly devour each other?"
Zoe the witch said to Locke. "I discovered this by observing that most of Mage Meloch's students were moving away from Cloudweed Wetlands."
"I believe that Meloch, as a third-ring wizard and a renowned magic shoemaker, is leaving the Eastern District."
"Moreover, I have an internal video that you can take a look at."
Zoe the witch held up the Ganoderma lucidum plant in her hand and projected an illusion screen into the air. The illusion screen showed a video recording of a wizard airship docking point, where two Star Ring wizards were talking together.
"From now on, Solas and Melochy will likely be one company. This way, they can pool their resources to deal with that Augustus."
"It seems the equity transaction is complete, and the information will be released soon. At the same time, they will launch a crackdown on the wizard shoe shop alliance, including Augustus. From now on, the wizard shoe market in Cloudze Wetlands will be dominated by one company. This time, the two wizard shoe giants are working together to leave no room for outsiders.
Oh, don't say these things outside. Many wizard airship docking points now have True Sight Crystals recording relevant audio and video."
"Don't worry too much. The docking points are the direct property of the White Wizard Association, and these video recordings are protected with a very high priority. No one should be able to see them."
Locke carefully examined the recording and preliminarily confirmed that it was not a forgery.
Now Locke was even more curious about the Witch Zoe. No wonder she had been an airship pirate for so long without being caught. It turned out she could directly see the video recordings of various docking points.
The Witch Zoe must have a big secret.
Locke pondered his own situation. It was clear that the wizard Melochy intended to leave, so he likely sold his entire shop alliance and businesses to the wizard Solas. This way, Melochy could leave with a fortune, while the Rose School's control over the wizard shoe market would strengthen, leading to the crushing of other wizard shoe shop alliances, including his own.
However, Locke believed that this action might not be specifically targeting him.
The war between academic schools was all about money, cash flow, and the amount of money earned every moment. Both schools controlled numerous markets, and now, with the war reaching its peak, one side needed to aggressively expand into the other's controlled markets to undermine their economic foundation and force them to concede. "
I think the Rose School is strengthening its control over all of their opponent's markets. My shop alliance in the wizard shoe market is like a sharp knife inserted into their controlled markets.
Therefore, I'm the first to be affected. "
Fortunately, he had known the information beforehand; otherwise, if he had been distracted by other matters, his Augustus Shop Alliance might have truly been overthrown if the other side had suddenly joined forces to attack.
Seeing Locke deep in thought, the Witch Zoe immediately said happily, "Lord Augustine, this information will definitely be useful to you. I also know many video recordings of docking points; if you need them in the future, we can make a fair deal."
Locke nodded. "This information is very important to me. However, Ms. Zoe, we've never had much of a relationship; we should keep our distance."
"Do what you want. Ms. Zoe, I'll take my leave now. We owe each other no favors at this point."
The Witch Zoe raised an eyebrow as she watched Locke leave quickly. "Why does this wizard look at me like I'm a monster? Oh well, he's progressing rapidly; he's a genius wizard, so some strange habits are normal. Although my deal with him is clearly very beneficial to him." "I
wonder what level of wizard he'll be when we meet next,"
Zoe the witch pondered. "I've been feeling lucky lately; for some reason, I have a feeling I'm about to advance to the second circle of wizards. It's really strange."
Following the techniques Locke had taught her, the witch Zoe retrieved numerous magical trinkets from her astral ring and began adorning herself.
Meanwhile, the three second-ring wizards from the Wind Scythe Dragon Garden continuously used magic, searching for the witch's unique spiritual traces left in the passage. Soon, they frowned, for they discovered that the spiritual traces left in the passage had suddenly become incredibly complex. Furthermore, the magical pressure in the areas where the Moon Ring wizard had passed was chaotic, and the complexity of the spiritual traces far exceeded their current magical level, making it difficult to calculate his tracks.
The three exchanged glances.
Was that Moon Ring archmage favoring that witch?
But how could that be?
The eldest second-ring wizard in the group said in a deep voice, "That witch was very lucky. It seems she took advantage of the fact that this Moon Ring Archmage walked through the corridor, concealing her tracks, and discovered that we used wind magic to amplify and gather the traces of her spirit touch, thus locking onto her. She probably used some methods to increase the complexity. She's always been cunning. However, I'm surprised she could figure out how we found her." "Does
she have such a high level of knowledge?" "
This person is treacherous and cunning, like an eel. Any one of the three of us could easily kill her in a head-on fight. Yet this thief is like a slippery eel, always escaping from our grasp. It's utterly despicable. We finally managed to force her onto the wizard airship, a confined environment that would have made it easier to track her spirit touch traces, but who knew she would still find a way to break through."
Locke returned to the library in the VIP area.
"That way, we can stop those three second-circle wizards from courting death,"
Locke laughed. "Those three should thank me. If they continue the pursuit, they'll surely die. As the ancestral home of the Protection School, the Protection Magic of that wizarding land in the High Heaven Plains is truly divine and unparalleled." "
It's amazing that such magic exists where the more you chase, the stronger the opponent becomes, while weakening yourself."
"The special intelligence system in Zoe's possession is a good source of information for me, but the secrets she holds are too great,"
Locke said. "It's better if I don't get too involved with her for now."
The Protection Magic of the High Heaven Plains' Purple Path of Exile is too bizarre. If I get deeply entangled with her, who knows if that dark aura will entangle me?
Locke saw Trajan pacing in the library, his face filled with anger.
Trajan the Wizard looked at Locke and said, "Locke, you've arrived. I told you two weeks ago that the special magical plant I'd tracked down was intercepted. The wizards who did it are from the Rose School. That special habitat has also been occupied by wizards from the Rose School."
Trajan the Wizard raised an eyebrow. "According to wizarding law, I can no longer enter that world." "
It seems the Rose School is going to encircle and annihilate us." "
After I return, I must immediately pass through Little Peach Mountain and head to the Void. I still have two suspected locations related to that magical plant, but if I don't hurry, they might occupy those two too."
Locke immediately thought of his business along the Tianjiang River, but he quickly realized that there shouldn't be any problems there.
Because that area is special.
At this time, the Tianjiang River was already a meat grinder for various forces.
It was impossible for a single wizarding organization to occupy it alone.
Locke, realizing something, used the Ganoderma lucidum magic plant search to find information about the cooperation between the Rose Council and the Wizarding Lands of Dragonfall. Among the information, Locke immediately discovered that the Rose Council was attempting to collaborate with the wizarding academy in Dragonfall to manufacture magical flying machines.
"The Rose Council is indeed launching a full-scale attack on us. Even in the field of flying machines, which I've only just begun to explore, it seems they don't want to let us go."
Turajin's expression was also grim. Previously, all his attention had been focused on applying for titles, but now, after carefully questioning his subordinates and friends, he realized he seemed to have been betrayed.
Meanwhile, on the wizarding airship connecting the Southern Wizarding Capital to the Cloud Marsh Wetlands, the wizard Sera smirked. He simultaneously sent job applications to Arthas and Solas Barefoot.
"To perform a séance, one needs to approach Locke to begin the ritual."
Wizard Sera was reading Locke's article. He wore a wizarding robe similar to Locke's usual attire, even his hairstyle was the same, and he could imitate Locke's speech by looking at some video materials.
Sera rubbed his temples. "It's a bit difficult to learn from this person. His personality is so different from mine. So I can only go into reality. Wherever he is, I will be there, and I will imitate his behavior. When I dealt with Georgina, it was easy. She's just a shallow little girl. But Locke—he's just disgusting. Everything about him makes me hate him."
"There's no such thing as right or wrong in this world. People who think it's black and white are children and ignorant."
"On right and wrong?"
"What is right and what is wrong? Every bad person will give a bunch of reasons and think they are right.
Which wizard in a dispute doesn't think they are right and others are wrong, and have a bunch of reasons? I don't like Locke. Georgina always finds reasons to forgive herself, but when I imitate Locke, I actually have to criticize my own personality."
"Clear right from wrong."
Sera's forehead was covered in sweat. "He seems indifferent to right and wrong, but in reality, he's clear about them. How does he maintain his logical consistency?"
"His righteousness is too strong; if I approach it from that angle, I'll find it difficult to maintain my own stance."
On the wizard airship where Locke and Trajan were, Locke found a magical plant in the project materials given to him by the witch Catherine: the Heavenly Red Pepper, which would be helpful for his Great Green Leaf Dragonfly project and wizard shoe project.
Locke sat down, thinking he should consider making a proper pair of Star Ring and Moon Ring wizard shoes. This
would make Soras, barefoot, give up on his Augustus's ambition to destroy him.
