Chapter 56 The Mastermind, Wizard Power
In the tutor's office
Tesla took a sip of honey water. It was a type of honey produced by demonic creatures. It had a sweet taste and was said to have a slight effect on stabilizing mental energy. However, it was expensive, and even a small sip was worth two or three magic stones.
Tesla asked, "Witch Sally, you've put a lot of thought into this gift for Leo becoming a wizard. Not only that, you've also gotten him some small gifts."
Upon hearing this, Sally looked up and said, "He has that value, doesn't he?"
"That's true," Tesla said. "So, if Chris or Molly become wizards, what kind of gifts do you plan to give them?"
Upon hearing this, Sally paused for a moment before saying, "If they can become wizards, I will prepare a bottle of high-quality spirit-nourishing potion worth 100 magic stones for each of them, to help them quickly increase their spiritual energy after becoming wizards."
Tesla shook his head upon hearing this.
Compared to Leo, Sally's attitude towards Chris and Leo was noticeably more perfunctory.
The Nourishing Elixir is primarily beneficial for young wizards. While it can also be used by wizard apprentices, its effects are only so-so.
Compared to the other gift Sally prepared for Leo, it was much less impressive.
However, Tesla believes that Sally's favoritism is not a problem.
Leo demonstrated his value, while Chris and Jasmine did not.
It is reasonable to concentrate resources on more outstanding talents.
The wizard Tesla stood up and said, "I am also a member of the Esmond Gathering, so I will cover half of the magic stone cost of the gift. Although I am afraid of trouble, it is a tradition of the Esmond Gathering, and I have benefited from this tradition before."
Sally smiled upon hearing this.
Although the Wizard of Tesla was a trouble-averse person, Sally didn't dislike his way of doing things, because at least his heart was with the Esmond Gathering.
Tesla said, "The special envoy from the central region wants to see me. I'll go there first."
After Tesla finished speaking, Sally frowned and said, "The envoy is in charge of the research lab. I wonder if his direct approach to you, Esmond's teaching assistant, is related to Esmond's mentor."
Tesla smiled and said, "Don't worry, Wizard Sally. Although there are occasional arbitrary actions in the Central Region, the rule that mentors can be missing for a year has been in place for hundreds of years and cannot be changed without notice."
Sally nodded.
A while after Tesla left, a knock came at the door of the quiet office.
"Witch Sally, I am Leo."
Upon hearing Leo's voice, Sally's lips curled into a smile, but she quickly suppressed it and said, "Come in."
After Leo knocked on the door, he entered the office with Sally's permission.
Sally said, "Leo, come here."
Leo walked to the desk and noticed a bottle of potion with a light red glow on it.
"Found an illustration for the Inferior Quality Griffin Light Red Potion in the encyclopedia. Would you like to add it?"
Griffin Light Red Potion
Quality: Inferior
Function: Enhances memory ability
Cost: 50 Refinement Points
Advanced Potion Mastery
Sally noticed Leo's gaze lingering on the bottle of potion on the table, and she smiled. This was the gift she had prepared for Leo.
However, Sally didn't rush to bring up the potion. Instead, she feigned composure and said, "Leo, the wizard Tesla has arranged a research lab for you these past two days. How have you been doing there?"
Leo said, "The wizards in the research lab have helped me a lot. I used to know nothing about data reports. But after these two days of learning, I feel that if I were to go to another research lab in the future and write data reports myself, I should be able to do it too."
"That's good. Writing data reports is an extremely tedious task, but every wizard must master this skill."
After praising him, Sally got down to business. Pointing to the potion beside her, she said, "Leo, this is a gift from me... Assistant Professor Tesla and I to celebrate your advancement to wizardry. It's a Griffin Pale Red Potion. This potion can permanently enhance your memory, which will greatly help you in your studies of spells and subjects."
"If this potion were sold, it would be worth over 500 magic stones."
Leo was surprised that Sally had sent such a precious potion. He said, "Thank you for your and Wizard Tesla's congratulatory gift."
"In addition to this congratulatory gift, I have also prepared a small present for you."
Sally said, "Please wait a moment, I'll have someone bring you a small gift."
Leo looked curious.
This little gift might be parchment containing spells, precious potions and herbs, rare materials...
Various guesses surfaced in Leo's mind.
However, it is clear that Leo guessed wrong.
A moment later, the lizardman brought a person to the office.
This person was wearing handcuffs and prison clothes.
The man's face still faintly revealed a radiant, prosperous appearance.
He must have lived in a wealthy environment before he became like this.
Leo looked at this person with a surprised expression.
Upon seeing Leo, the man immediately knelt down and said, "Leo, it was all my fault before. I'm sorry, I apologize to you. Please don't kill me, please!"
The man knelt on the ground, begging Leo for mercy with tears streaming down his face.
Leo looked at the man, unsure of how to feel.
This man was none other than the Earl of Socrates, who directly caused the man to board the wizard's ship.
Leo never expected to see the count again in this way.
Seeing Leo's surprised expression, Sally was very satisfied; it was worth the effort she had put into coming up with this little gift.
Sally said, "Leo, as wizards, sometimes we don't need to do anything ourselves. We just need to give an order, and others will do it for us just to please us."
"Although this count is a powerful nobleman in the Socratic Empire, to wizards, he is only of a slightly higher status in mortal kingdoms."
"When I sent someone to ask the Emperor of Socrates for this count, he didn't hesitate and brought him to me immediately. This is the power we wizards wield in mortal kingdoms."
"As long as no other wizard interferes, I can dissolve the Kingdom of Sogra, which is about to unify the Twin Continents, with a single order, and restore the Twin Continents to the period when multiple kingdoms coexist."
"Even the drama of the Kingdom of Socrates unifying the continent was actually just a game played by us wizards behind the scenes."
Upon hearing this, Leo fell silent.
Looking at the count kneeling on the ground before him, Leo realized for the first time the Tower of Dawn's control over the Twin Continents.
A wizard like Sally could bring down the vast kingdom of Socrates with just a word.
This power was truly beyond Leo's imagination.
Leo had no doubt that Sally could do it.
Back on the Twin Continents, Leo had always heard that wizards were manipulating the Socratic Empire from behind the scenes.
