Chapter 304 Every Second Counts in the Advancement to a Formal Wizard
As soon as Stoffen finished speaking, Philia's head exploded.
Leo was completely unmoved by Philia's death.
After all, Leo's purpose in coming here was to kill Philia.
However, Leo noticed that Philia, even as he lay dying, still had a look of bewilderment and incomprehension on his face.
Is this Augusta's method?
Leo felt a deep sense of dread towards this tower master once again.
After Philia's death, Stoffen's spiritual energy remained either in deep thought or in silence.
After a long silence, Stoffen finally said, "I underestimated the foundation Augusta built when he was a first-ring wizard."
"When Augusta recommended Philia to me, he didn't say anything. He simply brought Philia to me through divination magic, and he even left traces of divination magic in Philia's body so that I would know that he had recommended her."
"At the time, Philia showed a high talent for bloodline modification. He mastered a combination spell for bloodline modification, but I didn't realize that behind this talent was a flawed foundation of knowledge about bloodline modification."
"Philia is like a beautifully packaged but useless piece of chicken."
"On the surface, he appears extremely rare, but inside, he is just an ordinary wizard with mediocre talent."
Leo simply listened without speaking; this concerned two formal wizards, and it wasn't something he could comment on casually.
"Leo..."
Stoffen then turned his gaze to Leo.
He seemed to be carefully choosing his words.
After a long pause, Stoffen finally asked, "Do you know when I started to be wary of Augusta?"
Leo shook his head and said, "Mentor Stoffen, this is not something I can speculate on."
Stoffen chuckled and said, "You're quite cautious, even now, outside the Tower of Dawn, you still don't want to get involved in the affairs of us official wizards and Augusta... But..."
"If you want to continue to grow and become a full-fledged wizard, you can't avoid getting involved."
Leo's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes flickered slightly.
Stoffen said, "Leo, you met with Nova before, so you must have reached some kind of deal with him. And the deal information Nova can provide should be about Mokin, right?"
Upon hearing this, Leo suddenly became alert.
He didn't tell Stoffen about his meeting with Nova, so how did he know?
Stoffen smiled slightly and said, "Nova is about to undergo his formal wizard promotion. Even if I'm not interested, I'll learn about his movements from the other formal wizards. His every move is under our control..."
"As for the details of his deal, I can guess even if you don't say anything. For you right now, apart from the matter of Mo Jin, you probably don't care much about anything else."
Stoffen said, "There's something I must remind you about Mokin."
"This kind of resource is actually limited."
Leo asked uncertainly, "Is it a scarce resource?"
Stoffen shook his head and said, "Not only that."
Stoffen raised his hand and said, "Generally speaking, scarce resources refer to those that are few in number. But Mojin is different. The quantity of Mojin is constant."
"Inkstone is formed based on the dynamic spiritual energy that permeates an environment."
"As long as the spiritual energy of an environment does not increase significantly, the production of Mojin will not increase."
"However, once a new formal wizard is born, the spiritual energy of this environment will increase significantly, ensuring the circulation of Mojin."
Stoffen said, "Originally, there was enough black gold for formal wizards to use for their advancement. However, as formal wizards began to strip away and covet the combination spells of first-class wizard apprentices, the consumption of black gold increased dramatically. At the same time, no new formal wizards were being born, so the amount of black gold was decreasing abnormally."
"Based on in-depth investigations by my officially certified wizard friends, the amount of Ink Gold currently available in the Sea of Sinking Light is probably only enough to support about five people attempting to advance to the rank of officially certified wizard."
"And if these five wizards fail to advance to full wizard status, then in the Sea of Sinking Light, no first-class wizard apprentice will be able to advance to full wizard status..."
Leo could no longer remain calm.
Combination spells, permanent defensive fields... given time, Leo can create these things.
But if this Mojin is as Stoffen said, it means that after a while, once the others have used up their Mojin, Leo may never be able to become a formal wizard again.
This is a classic case of "the predecessors cut down the trees, and the successors get soaked in the rain."
Even if the formal wizards knew about Mojin's special nature, they didn't care and continued to use their methods to extract combination spells from first-class wizard apprentices.
These professional wizards are truly willing to harm even the future environment of wizarding for the sake of their research.
Leo didn't know what to say for a moment.
Stoffen added, "Leo, I've been thinking about this lately. Why is Augusta acting in a way that prevents other first-circle wizards from advancing to second-circle wizards? Is it for reasons similar to Mokin's?"
"Is it possible that... the necessary element for advancing to the second ring is also limited? And once another first-ring wizard advances to the second ring, this element is consumed, preventing others from advancing to the second ring?"
Leo said with a wry smile, "Mentor Stoffen, what you're saying is too far removed from my current situation."
Stoffen said calmly, "That's true, there's really no point in telling you all this."
"Leo, this is the Crimson Sea, the place where you're most likely to encounter Dark Gold... Now that you know the importance of Dark Gold, I'm afraid you won't be in a hurry to return to the Tower of Dawn anytime soon, will you?"
Leo nodded and said, "I'd like to spend some time here looking for Mojin."
According to Stofin, there is a limit to the amount of Moghan in this place, so Leo needs to find enough Moghan to sustain his advancement as soon as possible.
I'll give you time.
"I am heading to Expedition Island today to take care of the knights' affairs."
"At that time, it may be a long time before you can only find me by coming to Expedition Island."
"Three days from now, whether you find Mo Jin or not, you must come to Expedition Island to find me. There's something I want you to do."
Expedition Island is the knights' stronghold, where a large number of knights gather, much like the significance of Xuanfeng Island to wandering wizards.
As Stoffen's spiritual energy gradually dissipated, Leo hid the box again.
A thoughtful look flashed in Leo's eyes.
First it was Saga, then Stoffen. Leo discovered that the official wizards of the Tower of Dawn seemed to be in a state of being suppressed by Augusta.
