White Stone Collar.
wilderness.
Faced with Stormspear's combat airships and personnel, the destruction of the Graybone Gang was almost inevitable.
They even wanted to escape.
But how could their airships possibly compare to the academy's airships?
Just one hour later.
The battle is over.
"My lord, this wizard in the late second ring is named Harry. He is a sky pirate from the Greybone Gang and has been wandering around Whitestone Territory for the past few years. He has bounties on several academies, and the total value is probably around one million magic stones."
A wizard quickly stepped forward to report.
Leonard looked at Harry, who was now unconscious, and was surprised to find that he was actually a big fish.
In fact.
In today's wizarding world, becoming a sky pirate is actually quite difficult, because a wizard needs too many resources to grow.
Simply relying on strength is actually very difficult.
A wizard would never make such a choice unless absolutely necessary.
Often, due to the lack of a complete logistical system, they are no match for real academic teams.
The only problem is that these people are often very cunning and difficult to track down.
"Brother Ian, tell me, every time I run into you, something good always seems to happen!"
He turned to look at Ian.
Ash bone mass.
Ian was also a little stunned, but he also gasped inwardly.
It's hard to say what would have happened if they had faced this air pirate group alone; thankfully, they brought in Leonard.
But this also left him with questions.
How were they targeted?
"Can I check their bandit records?" Ian asked.
"You suspect someone is targeting you?"
Leonard instantly understood his meaning and asked in return.
Ian nodded.
"OK."
Leonard nodded, knowing full well that there was a lot of infighting within the academy and that he didn't want to get involved.
They quickly checked the team's letters and communication records.
The results were all normal.
It appeared to be just a normal robbery.
"Didn't find them? Let's go to their lair, it doesn't seem like a detour," Leonard said from the side.
Ian nodded.
Several hours later, they arrived at the Gray Bone Gang's base and, after some looting, collected another million resources.
There was absolutely no communication.
Ian's brow furrowed even more.
There was nothing, not even any information about how they got there.
Absolutely clean.
But this absurd level of cleanliness only confirmed to him that there was definitely something wrong.
It seems I'll have to look into that later.
Let's see who's targeting them.
"Don't think about that anymore. Thanks to you, the harvest this time is quite good. I estimate that after selling these airships and related items, we can get two million in resources. Adding the wanted notice, that's three million. You take one million, I take one million, and my brothers take one million. That should be fine, right?"
Leonard walked over at that moment.
"certainly."
Ian was satisfied. He then looked at the group behind him, the second ring, which had exactly five people. After a moment of thought, he said, "However, one million is not easy to divide. How about this, I'll take out another 500,000, and each of us will get 300,000."
He didn't lift a finger.
Actually, Leonard only gave him so much because of him, but he was certainly not that ungrateful.
Let's use borrowed flowers to present to Buddha.
Sure enough, upon hearing Ian's words, Leonard's men became increasingly friendly towards Ian.
"You've put me in a difficult position."
Leonard laughed heartily and said, "I'll also put up another 600,000, and give you an extra 100,000 each."
He is the deputy commander of the battle group.
The importance of his subordinates to him is self-evident.
In an instant.
The whole scene was filled with joy and harmony.
After looting this place.
Soon the airship fleet moved forward again and returned to the academy, where Celis and the others, along with her teachers and the merchants who had been waiting, quickly began their transport.
As for why they didn't go.
Of course, we already have the Storm Spear, that's enough.
Besides, there are many other things.
So Ian took on the task.
"Teacher, I'd appreciate it if you could help me keep this batch of resources safe." Ian approached Horton.
Don't worry.
""
Horton nodded.
Looking at Ian, he was filled with emotion. His former student had grown into someone he could almost look up to.
Even knowing someone in the City of Elements is something to brag about, but Ian can easily get help from them.
The changes are tremendous.
"How are Willow, Vivian, and Chris doing?" Ian inquired about their current situation.
"Everything is fine, it's just that I haven't seen you in a long time."
97
Horton said.
"Okay, I'll go back to see them in the next few days."
Ian nodded.
Although he's busy, he can still spare some time, and most importantly, he's very easy to manage.
"Have you encountered any trouble lately?" Ian asked, as if he had thought of something.
trouble?
Horton thought for a moment and said, "There really is. Recently, sales seem to have dropped significantly, both in the Chamber of Commerce and on our side. I secretly investigated and it seems that the ultimate source of pressure is the Winster family. I just didn't tell you because I was worried you would worry."
"The Winster family?"
Ian frowned.
He did start to think about it.
He may have found an enemy, mainly because he did have very few enemies within the academy, but the Winster family was one of them.
"How about this, let Willow and the others come to my place. They've all reached the first ring, and I'm short of trustworthy wizards."
Ian pondered for a moment and said.
He believed that the Winster family would not go too far.
As long as it's normal, then it's fine, but he still felt that he should protect the people he knew first.
Given his current status.
It's quite easy to squeeze a few wizards into the academy.
So Ian went to ask Celis and the others about their situation, and found out that they were in the same boat.
Ian immediately relaxed a lot.
They haven't set their sights on him yet.
"Damn Ian."
Old Winston crushed the cup in his hand to pieces, feeling a tightness in his chest.
"I never expected Ian to have such power. We only checked the academy's public channels; we didn't even report this private action," Jesper remarked from the side.
"Ian's personal influence is even stronger than that of a typical late-stage second-ring wizard."
Old Winston's eyes turned cold.
This is also normal.
That's what makes these logistics wizards so terrifying.
What's more, Ian is a genius logistics wizard, and it's even said that he has considerable potential, which makes it even more frightening.
"Let's add Ian to the list too, along with Celis."
He said it directly.
As for the list.
This is the Winster family's list of enemies. Anyone on this list is extremely threatening and should be eliminated if possible.
The first one is naturally Kilan.
Next came Celis, a strong contender for the position of the Child of the Elements, and now Ian has joined the fray.
He is qualified.
the other side.
Ian, of course, had no idea.
On one hand, he brought his acquaintances to the academy, and on the other hand, he directly informed them that the Gray Bone Gang might be related to the Winster family.
Is there any evidence?
There is none at all.
But a few days later, a message appeared below an order from the academy.
Within the Winster family, several resource points and the Morton Chamber of Commerce were investigated by the Academy, and several were directly shut down.
"As expected of a teacher."
Ian couldn't help but sigh. The Winster family had problems, but their teacher was the headmaster, so how could they possibly bully him?
It's really hard to tell the difference between the two kings.
Especially after the Elemental Child Project came out, Kieran's reputation at the Academy increased even more.
Simply because.
Currently, among the peak of the second ring, he has the greatest potential at his level.
Child of the Elements.
Unless Aaron and the others have gone mad, he will definitely get a spot.
They were no longer afraid of the Winster family.
Meanwhile, old Winster also approached Kieran.
He slammed his hand on Kieran's table and demanded, "Kieran, I want to know what's going on here?"
Kieran calmly raised his head, looked at him, and said, "Your forces have problems, but do you have problems?"
1
"you?"
Old Winster wanted to say something more.
The aura of Kieran before him grew stronger and stronger, gradually making even old Winster feel somewhat alarmed.
"Vice Dean Winters, I'm just reminding you that there are some things you can do and some things you can't do. Keep your people in check."
""
"This is just a reminder."
"Please leave."
Kieran stared coldly at Winster, making the latter feel as if Kieran could tear him apart at any moment.
Hu Hu Hu.
Winster wanted to say something harsh, but looking into Kieran's serious eyes, he felt like he couldn't catch his breath.
"Yes, Dean."
Done.
He slunk away.
Like an old dog.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it."
Back in his family's territory, Winster's room was filled with another series of crackling sounds.
The guards outside the door were all on edge.
Look straight ahead.
It was as if he hadn't heard anything at all.
I spent a short while with a few people I hadn't seen in a long time.
Ian then settled the group in his own territory and returned to his study.
"Then we just waited for news of the war."
Ian's gaze was serious.
In fact, what they profited from this time was an information gap.
If the information is inaccurate, even if it doesn't result in a huge loss, it will still cost a considerable amount of magic stones.
"but..
'
Ian shook his head.
Judging from the details of his relationship with Edith, she never lied to him.
Moreover, the envelope also stated that he could trust it 100%, although there might be slight changes, but the core method would absolutely not change.
There is absolutely no more accurate information than hers.
"But she can say that the information is absolutely accurate when it involves several departments. Is there such a person in the Gray Tower?"
Ian pondered.
His gaze gradually widened.
It seems there really is one.
No way.
Thinking of this possibility, Ian gasped. If this guess was correct, then Edith's status in the academy was even higher than he had imagined.
Let's wait for news.
In the blink of an eye.
Several days have passed.
The academy suddenly convened a general meeting, and Ian knew this must be the outcome.
I arrived at the familiar lobby.
Look ahead.
All that could be seen was that the second-circle wizards who had been present were gone, and even among the three warbands, only the leader of the Rock Warband remained.
On the stage.
Simon was sitting next to Aaron.
The wizards below the stage looked puzzled.
Aaron slowly began, "I believe many people are wondering where all these wizards have gone. They have gone to the White Stone Mine to fight for and defend the outer core points. At the same time, everyone should prepare, because this is a war that is even more difficult than fighting the Crimson Eye."
The wizards below the stage stared wide-eyed.
It's even harder than fighting Crimson Eye.
That would be an enormous war.
"The Gray Tower has made a decision. The four branches of the Gray Tower—Radiant Branch, Empty Valley Branch, Deep Nest Branch, and Lava Branch—will support the Elemental Arcane Wizard Academy, Green Field Wizard Academy, White Stone Wizard Academy, and Gray Furnace Wizard Academy in their competition for the mineral veins. Whoever can occupy more nodes will gain the greatest dominance over the mineral veins."
So the wizards you see who aren't here have all gone to compete for the outermost core node of the mine, so they can gain an advantage when the middle and core areas open in the future.
Aaron began to speak slowly.
Four?
Ian was taken aback.
How come there's one more? But considering what Edith said about possible changes, it's not surprising.
However, of the five wizarding factions in Whitestone Territory, only the Eastern Wizarding Alliance remains. It seems that this scattered wizarding alliance does not have the support of the Gray Tower.
This is different from what Ian knew.
The area below was now in complete chaos.
It's obvious to anyone with eyes that what appears to be a struggle for control of the mineral veins is actually a war that will almost directly determine the future dominance of Whitestone Territory.
No wonder Aaron said it would be tough.
In a short time.
The wizards had different thoughts.
The wizards of the Flameheart Chapter were all excited, the Rockbound Chapter remained remarkably calm, and the Stormspear Chapter showed some concern; each wizard had their own thoughts.
Ian and Celis, who was standing next to him, exchanged a glance.
The latter looked shocked.
Just because the news of the war was exactly the same as what Ian had said a few days ago, what an incredible information channel that must be.
But they also know.
"It's out this time."
Both of them smiled at the same time.
The convening of the plenary session undoubtedly signified the start of the war.
In fact.
Several other academies have also taken action, and a war against the entire Whitestone Territory has suddenly begun.
The prices of resources also change daily.
A month later.
After they all made their moves, Ian's net worth had more than doubled, reaching over seven million.
This made Ian even more aware of the terrifying profits of war.
.
He then redeemed several of the resource-rich lands he had mortgaged, which were also part of his capital.
finally.
He still has five million in resources, roughly the same as his situation after the Crimson War.
But if it were in the past...
Ian could never do that; it's only now that his power has grown so much that he's able to do such a thing.
But it's best to do it less often.
"Then comes the war, and then I'll be my logistics wizard in the rear." Ian smiled.
As for his seniors...
They were now poised to march to the front lines.
And Ian.
Naturally, he would stay behind and continue to serve as a logistics wizard; at least for the time being, he wouldn't be needed.
His goal remains unchanged.
That is the assessment for the prospective Child of Elements three years from now.
Of course, there are many steps he needs to take to achieve this, including improving his strength, talent, and physique.
But the closest one.
Or is it due to improved talent?
"That's also the most important thing; I have enough knowledge in these two areas."
Ian took a deep breath.
Looking at the knowledge that is getting closer and closer to the master level.
Next, he will increase his practice time.
Time passed little by little.
A struggle has begun surrounding the White Stone Vein, the name of the newly discovered vein.
Fortunately, it's alright.
Because this mineral vein is so large, the outer perimeter has not yet been occupied, so at this time everyone is just occupying individual nodes.
Ian's feelings, however, were...
The work in the metalworking department increased, which naturally allowed him to improve his forging skills even faster.
Three months later.
This witchcraft has reached the master level.
With the help of fragments of Darkfire rules, the last piece of knowledge in Fire Emblem was completed, and the improvement speed was not slow.
Another month has passed.
Fire Emblem has also reached the Master level.
Ian's talent level reached 40,000.
Ready to advance.
