Full-Time Wizard: Starting with Harvesting Wheat

Soraya suddenly laughed, a laugh like a blooming red spider lily, silent yet powerful.

—You've hit a crucial point.

Karazhan was stunned for a moment, then quickly patted his chest, took a deep breath, and the image of Mary's every smile and frown appeared in his mind, finally calming his emotions.

Soraya, being a witch, had maintained her health remarkably well. Her face was smooth, without a trace of age, and her skin was a translucent, jade-like white. In terms of appearance, she naturally surpassed Mary by a great margin.

Karazhan just chuckled, seemingly conjuring up some ambiguous image, and then dismissed the temptation from his mind.

As for Roy, his expression remained completely unchanged, and he continued to look at her with an attitude of seeking knowledge.

The emotions he sensed from that laughter were contempt and pity.

After talking for so long, he finally sensed the arrogant attitude of those in positions of power.

—Before that, you need to familiarize yourselves with the term "plane".

The ancient wizards defined planes as parallel worlds that are independent of each other and follow different rules. To travel between planes requires unimaginable power.

When Soraya uttered the word "plane," Roy realized something and instantly looked horrified.

Seeing his expression, Soraya seemed pleased, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

—Your world can also be called a plane, and... it is a plane controlled by the Gulimo Academy.

"A plane... a world... can actually be controlled by an academy?" Roy found it hard to understand.

—A large plane is naturally too large for the academy to contain, but a small plane like this…

There are thousands of colleges.

Karazhan was a little confused: "What are you talking about?"

Soraya ignored him and continued speaking.

—Because this plane is only the size of a territory, which only meets the standard of a small laboratory, any wizard apprentice who is a little wealthy can rent this plane.

This sentence contained so much information that Roy took a moment to process it before extracting three key points.

First, there is only one territory in this world, meaning that Blackwater Territory is the entirety of the world.

Secondly, this world is nothing more than a laboratory for the wizards of the Gulimo Academy.

Thirdly, it is highly likely that Soraya has rented this plane and is conducting experiments.

If the native inhabitants of this world knew about these things, they might feel their worldview collapsing. But Roy came from another world, and after sorting out his thoughts, he completely accepted the fact.

Soraya continued.

"—Once the experiment is complete, I will return to Gulimo Academy. But don't worry, if you haven't become wizard apprentices by then, I will come to see you every now and then. Sigh, you'd better break through quickly, otherwise when the laboratory's rental period expires, I will have to renew the lease, and if someone else rents this plane, who knows what kind of impact that will have on you."

Upon hearing this, Roy nodded obediently, while Karazhan frowned, trying to process the information.

Soraya was slightly surprised by Roy's performance.

She was discovered by a wizard's apprentice in another plane, who then told her some unbearable truths. She clearly remembered that her initial reaction was similar to her reaction in Karazhan now, and it took her quite some time to adjust afterwards.

It's fair to say that Karazhan's reaction is normal; Roy's mature attitude is hardly that of a 13-year-old.

"Perhaps it's because he lost his parents that he's become so mature?" Soraya had seen Roy's file from Histor, and that was the only explanation she could come up with at this point.

"So, there's only one Blackwater Territory in this world?" Roy asked doubtfully. If this logic held true, many things wouldn't make sense.

For example, Leylin and Hist have both been outside Blackwater Territory, to other merchants and countless others; they certainly didn't only operate within Blackwater Territory. How could they not realize that the world only has Blackwater Territory if they've been outside of it?

Roy expressed his doubts, and Soraya looked at him with a smile.

When she taught her students for the first time, she felt a strange sense of exhilaration as she shared her knowledge.

This is perhaps one of the reasons why wizards constantly learn and acquire knowledge.

—You know the wall that encloses the Blackwater Collar, right?

Roy nodded: "That wall definitely wasn't built by manpower, it's just too huge."

—You guessed right. Strictly speaking, it wasn't even built by wizards.

—It is called the World Serpent, a creature that has existed since the beginning of this plane.

"You mean, that huge wall is actually a snake!" Roy was shocked once again. That was a wall that was 25 meters high and 500 kilometers long!

This... was far beyond his comprehension.

—Yes, it was a snake, an unconscious snake.

After saying that, Soraya fell silent.

—I was warned by CNKI's awareness.

She suddenly said that.

—Because the theory of the World Serpent was proposed by another wizard, and at a high level, it has been marked with "restricted dissemination," so even if I know this knowledge, I cannot directly pass it on to you.

The teaching session was interrupted. Soraya pursed her thin lips and looked down at the book through her small, slightly upturned nose, as if she were angry.

This human-like annoyance did not increase her severity; instead, it softened her cool features, revealing a kind of unconscious charm.

—You can only connect to CNKI yourself and pay the price to access information on this topic.

Roy was stunned. They were just getting to the crucial part, so why did they suddenly stop talking?

"How do I connect to CNKI? And what price do I have to pay?" Roy rattled off a string of questions, which Soraya answered one by one.

Basically, once you advance to the level of a wizard apprentice, you can connect to the Wizarding World and register an account. For basic knowledge, you can directly exchange it using the Wizarding World's currency—magic stones. If you can't learn it on your own, you can enroll in relevant courses at the academy, but the cost of magic stones will definitely be much higher than buying the knowledge yourself.

Then there are some advanced theories or witchcraft models, which can also be obtained from CNKI. However, most of these things are marked with "restricted dissemination" and can only be disseminated with the permission of the original author.

For these items, the goods traded are no longer limited to magic stones. Rare materials, magical plants, and even powerful magical artifacts can all be used for trade, as long as the trading partner is interested.

Therefore, some people developed advanced theories during their apprenticeship, and were then noticed by high-ranking wizards, who traded a series of items that improved cultivation efficiency, and they thrived in their new environment.

He also learned that the theory of the World Serpent originated from a wizard's apprentice. It is said that he even personally entered the World Serpent's interior, a testament to his courage.

But because of this, the wizard apprentice was able to advance to the rank of wizard in the shortest possible time.

"It seems that in the wizarding world, the fastest way to improve is through creation—creating advanced theories, or even one's own wizarding models," Roy said, stroking his chin.

—It's getting late, let's start learning Old Byron. Tomorrow morning, I'll help you practice breathing techniques.

Soraya sent a final thought, her gaze returning to the book she had been reading, demonstrating that no matter the time, the most important thing for a wizard is learning.

On a whim, Roy immediately bent down and plunged into the thick dictionary.

Karazhan, on the other hand, had already been studying the ancient Byronian language. He couldn't join in or understand what Roy and Soraya were saying, so he had no choice but to start studying.

On the first page, it took him nearly ten minutes to memorize the shapes of the words and understand their meanings.

Roy's gaze lingered on the first page for only ten seconds.
