Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 79 The Reshuffling of Wizarding Families (Fourth Update)
Ronan put on a few protective charms and picked up the skull from the ground.

The skeleton's empty eye sockets stared at him eerily.

The flames inside had already gone out.

After confirming that the exorcism talisman had destroyed the skeleton, Ronan used several fire talismans to burn all the remaining bones of the skeleton.

After applying a few cleansing talismans to myself, I left the forest.

……

Having learned that the talisman was indeed effective against undead creatures, Ronan drank a basic transformation potion and went to the Forest of Gurt, a magical beast forest outside Triumph City, to begin hunting magical beasts.

They use the fur and blood of magical beasts to make talisman pens, talisman skins, and talisman ink.

Amulets drawn in this way are even more powerful.

He summoned two Azure Spirit Swords and unleashed the "Sword Shadow Splitting Technique".

Six azure flying swords circled around his body, emitting sharp sword energy.

He unleashed the "Magnetic Torrent," generating a magnetic field throughout his body that repelled the Earth's magnetic field, causing him to float slightly off the ground.

Then, they flew around the outskirts of the Forest of Gurt, searching for magical beasts.

With his current strength, he could kill a first-tier magical beast with a flick of his wrist.

He released his divine sense, and a spiritual wave that could cover an area of ​​about three hundred meters around him spread outwards.

He used his divine sense to search for the magical beasts while keeping an eye out for anyone else nearby.

More than two hours later, Ronan evaded two groups of wizard apprentices and knights hunting magical beasts, and then hunted down the three-headed beast.

After collecting the monster materials and cleaning up the traces with a cleansing talisman, they left the Forest of Gurt.

……

Ronan chose to process the magical beast materials in his small town mansion in the mortal realm of the cultivation world, specifically in the Wei Kingdom.

In the rooms of this mansion, racks were set up, on which pieces of animal hides that he had processed were hung to dry.

The animal hide is a deep yellow color, slightly translucent, and smooth to the touch.

He had also finished making the talisman brush and ink.

Once the animal hide is completely air-dried, you can draw the talisman.

……

While the animal hides were drying, Ronan returned to the Wizarding World to continue crafting talismans.

Three days later, thanks to his tireless drawing of talismans, the talisman he created was upgraded to the level of "Master".

During this time, he heard a lot of news from the wizarding world.

The first thing was that the wizarding families were quietly undergoing a reshuffling.

Some wizarding families suffered heavy losses while exploring necromancer ruins.

The backbone of the family perished in the ruins.

As a result, other wizarding families plundered some of the resources they possessed, and those families that had declined dared not resist.

Most of the houses in Midtown were actually residences of wizarding families.

Most of them were wizard families from other places outside Triumph City, who came here to practice wizardry and seek advancement.

After all, Triumph City has the most wizard organizations and the richest variety of cultivation resources.

In recent days, he has seen most of the wizarding family members sadly move away from the central city.

It seems that something has happened in the family, and they can no longer stay in Triumph City.

In addition, the reshuffling of wizarding organizations is roughly similar to that of wizarding families.

Ronan walked down the street and saw several wizarding organization outposts, their doors closed, revealing a desolate scene.

It is estimated that the core members of the wizarding organization either died or were seriously injured during the exploration of the ruins, which greatly reduced the strength of the wizarding organization and forced them to withdraw from Triumph City.

Ronan thought to himself that the events unfolding in Triumph City, a gathering place for wizards from all corners of the kingdom, were likely a microcosm of the entire Kingdom of Valant. Perhaps the wizarding organizations and families throughout the kingdom were also undergoing a reshuffling.

……

Honor Castle, Valant Palace, Council Chamber.

This side room was located not far from Augustus V's bedroom.

It was the place where Augustus V and several other key royal ministers held small meetings.

Augustus V was also a wizard, but at the level of an elite wizard.

There are several levels of formal wizards.

Ordinary formal wizards are at level one, while elite wizards are at level two.

Augustus V's great-uncle, the legendary wizard of the kingdom, "Dolipha Augustus," was a fifth-level official wizard.

However, elite-level formal wizards can also live to be 150 years old.

Augustus V is only in his eighties this year, and he has plenty of time ahead of him.

Under the influence of witchcraft, he appeared quite young, looking to be around forty years old, though his temples were slightly gray.

This was because he was always concerned about the affairs of the kingdom.

At this moment, he was sitting at the top of the long table.

Five people were sitting on either side of the long table.

One is the Royal Guard Chief, "Oranel Thorn," who is both a knight and a wizard.

On the path of chivalry, he was unparalleled, possessing superb swordsmanship.

His wizarding talent is also quite good; he is now a Level 3 official wizard—a True Knowledge Wizard.

He practiced witchcraft primarily to strengthen his physical body so that he could go further on the path of chivalry.

One was the finance minister, short in stature with shrewd eyes. He was neither a wizard nor a knight, but he was skilled in arithmetic and had excellent interpersonal skills, making him very popular within the royal family.

One was the Minister of Intelligence, a slightly overweight man from a wealthy family. Although he lacked power, he had an extensive network of connections. It was said that he could even make contact with the wizards of the Wizarding Islands.

The other two were Augustus V's nephew and Augustus V's eldest son, both of whom held important positions in the royal family.

However, these two men didn't take good care of themselves; they looked older than Augustus V.

"Tell me, what were the casualties among the various wizarding families in this incident at the ruins?"

Augustus V tapped the long table with the ruby ​​ring on his index finger to attract everyone's attention, and then spoke.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to the Minister of Intelligence, awaiting his reply.

The intelligence minister looked at Augustus V and nodded respectfully.

He then told Augustus V everything he knew.

The more Augustus V listened, the more gloomy his face became.

After the intelligence minister finished speaking, he said in a deep voice, "Most of the wizarding families that suffered heavy losses in this ruin were wizarding families that were close to the royal family!"

Upon hearing this, the other five people did not appear particularly surprised; clearly, they had also realized what was going on.

The power structure of the Kingdom of Valant was not a unified system, but rather a system of fiefdoms.

Of the seven great wizarding families, the Augustus family was the royal family, while the other six families were vassals.

Although the Augustus family was powerful, the six major families in various parts of the kingdom possessed knowledge in different fields, and their magical abilities were equally formidable.

Because the Augustus family feared the power of the other six great families, they secretly supported some wizard families and wizard organizations.

To strengthen the power of these families and organizations, and to secretly weaken the power of the other six families.

Augustus V glanced at the others and said, “It is quite obvious that among the six great wizarding families, there is already a family that has colluded with the Necromancers, and their purpose is to overthrow the foundation of my Augustus family.”
