Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 75 Physical Transformation, Northern War (Next chapter available)
After reading the letter his father sent, Ronan confirmed that the two hundred-plus gold coins were indeed a donation from his father.

The letter also mentioned recent events that had occurred within the family.

The first thing was that the rosewood collar was infested with insects.

One source of income for his family's territory, Redwood Territory, was selling the redwood grown there to various parts of the kingdom.

If insect infestation occurs and the rosewood is eaten by insects, the losses will become increasingly greater.

Fearing the losses would be too great, his father, after careful consideration, spent a large sum of money to hire a second-level wizard apprentice who practiced wood-based witchcraft.

This second-level wizard apprentice summoned several wood elemental guardian spirits in their family's redwood forest to protect the trees from pests.

In this way, their losses in the mahogany territory were contained.

The second thing is his younger brother, who is now fourteen years old and has already been promoted to Silver Knight.

After advancing to Silver Knight, you're not far from becoming a Gold Knight.

After reaching the pinnacle of the Golden Knight, if a knight wants to improve, he must first undergo physical transformation, and secondly, wear enchanted equipment.

His brother found a wizard apprentice and tried to practice meditation, only to find that he had no wizarding talent whatsoever and was unable to change himself through wizarding means.

In the future, I will need to seek help from others to carry out physical modifications.

So his younger brother wanted to use the family letters to learn about the witchcraft of transforming the physical body in advance.

Ronan himself did not approve of his brother undergoing physical modifications.

He now knows of two methods of physical modification.

One method is bloodline implantation.

By implanting various magical beast bloodlines into the knights, the knights' muscle strength and reaction speed are increased.

This method can not only be life-threatening, but can also sometimes cause the modifier to lose their true nature.

Another type is the amplification of energy particles.

It involves using energy particles to temper the body, thereby enhancing physical strength.

This method also carries risks.

If the wizard performs the procedure on himself, the danger is relatively small.

Because you can operate it yourself, you can feel whether your physical body can withstand the energy particles and adjust it at any time.

However, if you are operating on other people, you have no idea how they feel. By the time you start to feel uncomfortable and make adjustments, it is already too late.

At this point, the energy particles have already caused damage to the body.

If a small amount of energy particles are used to temper the body, the tempering effect will not be achieved.

Only a few powerful, perceptive, and experienced wizards can use this method to temper the physical bodies of others.

Ronan had heard from Paul that most of the knights serving in the kingdom still used bloodline implantation to enhance their muscle strength.

This method is the easiest and most effective, and the kingdom has a bloodline implantation method that has been tested many times and is not very dangerous.

When knights used it, it generally strengthened their physical bodies and prevented them from dying.

Ronan couldn't think of a reply to his brother for a moment, so he stopped thinking about it and instead opened his older brother's letter.

After reading it once, Ronan knew that the war between the Kingdom of Valant and the Orc Empire was currently at a stalemate.

Although the kingdom has more wizards than the orc empire.

But the Orcish Empire had a stronger military.

Orcs have an extremely high reproductive capacity.

Moreover, the bloodline archmage Sophie Oren seems to possess a method for creating orcs, capable of producing them very quickly.

These orcs, once created, were of low intelligence, inherently violent, and fond of killing.

However, after undergoing Sophie's bloodline modification magic, they gained immense fighting power and became fearless. The kingdom's wizards used their magic to kill wave after wave of orcs.

Then, orcs would still rush up, as if they could never be killed.

He could tell from the letter that his brother was an exceptional commander on the battlefield.

After several battles, the Redwood Territory soldiers under his command had the lowest casualty rate among all the soldier units.

Furthermore, the royal family even brought the remnants of troops from other territories under their command.

The army he could command was growing larger and larger.

He could even command armies, working in conjunction with wizards, to kill powerful orc squads.

His brother also said that he saw the legendary limb-splitting knight during a battle.

This knight had an orcish face, a bulky body, and arms of various colors attached to his body, each wielding a sword, a mace, a shield, and so on...

Moreover, these weapons are enchanted.

A proper wizard's attacks would be blocked by the shield.

The limb-splitting knight also possesses an extremely strong physical body and vitality.

After a formal wizard shatters the shield, he still needs to cast several spells to completely kill the limb-splitting knight.

At the end of the letter, his brother wished him success in his wizarding journey, and his brother also wrote a letter home, which he sent to Redwood Collar through someone else, so he didn't need to write another letter to relay it.

After reading the two letters, Ronan stored them in his storage ring.

Afterwards, he went out, rented a carriage, transported the wooden crate to the Lanny Vault, and deposited the gold coins into his registered account.

……

These days, Ronan has been using HarmonyOS to go through almost all the knowledge in the library.

He felt that there wasn't much knowledge in the library.

The majority of it consists of elemental wizarding knowledge.

Knowledge of other disciplines, such as alchemy, mechanical alchemy, and spatial knowledge, is extremely rare.

Ronan discussed this with Paul and learned that the library actually contained mostly rudimentary knowledge in a particular field.

The main purpose of establishing the library was to lay the foundation for wizarding apprentices.

If you wish to pursue further studies, you will need to spend gold coins or academy points to study with professors in the academy.

Of course, knowledge gained simply using Academy Points and Gold Coins is not particularly valuable.

The knowledge that a formal wizard would be willing to exchange for gold coins is definitely not the knowledge that he has painstakingly researched and is proud of.

Paul said that the truly valuable knowledge is the knowledge that a professor teaches after he has recognized a wizard's apprentice and taken him as his own student.

This knowledge comes from a formal wizard's in-depth understanding of a particular field.

Ronan intended to use Paul's identity to attend classes at the Kingdom Wizarding Academy to learn more about witchcraft.

Especially the study of deeper levels of spatial magic.

This is about him further expanding the space of the botanical garden.

However, after thinking about it, he gave up.

Attending lectures requires spending Academy Points and Gold Coins. If you spend Academy Points and Gold Coins multiple times to attend lectures by the same professor, it means that you are able to gain something from the lectures.

If he appeared in various classrooms with Paul's face, but Paul met other people, he would be found to know almost nothing except fire magic.

This would increase their risk of exposure.
