Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 229 The Idea of ​​Establishing a Formal Wizard Market and the Invitation from the Pure White Wizard Council

The petrified witch, who had broken through to become a formal wizard, quickly found her way over, following the magical pressure exerted by Su Nan and the lightning wizard Elvis.

The magical pressure of a formal wizard will only become more powerful.

Ordinary wizarding apprentices feel immense pressure and have their magical energy depleted simply by being near a qualified wizard.

Unless one is a formal wizard who actively restrains their magical pressure and stores it within a stable defensive magical field.

The petrifying witch watched in surprise as two formal wizards were conversing.

She never expected that Elvis would be a formal wizard.

The petrifying witch broke out in a cold sweat, after all, she had dealt with Elvis before and even cast a petrifying curse on him.

Fortunately, Su Nan stopped the "Justice" witch when she tried to kill the three wizard apprentices of the Thunder Ring.

If they had made a move back then...

They weren't formal wizards at the time, so they were no match for Elvis.

Fortunately, Su Nan's strategy at the time prevented Elvis from exposing his true identity and taking action against them.

The petrifying witch quickly suppressed her surprise and lingering fear, calming herself down, after all, she was now a formal wizard.

No matter what happened before, now that she is a formal wizard, everything is different.

She no longer needs to be afraid of Elvis.

As the newest and most officially recognized wizard in this land, the Petrifying Witch has every reason to be proud.

The petrifying witch nodded to Elvis as a greeting. The two weren't very familiar with each other to begin with, not to mention their less-than-friendly previous interaction.

When the petrifying witch looked at Su Nan, she said warmly, "Moon, thank you for making the Azure Potion for me."

"At the last moment, I thought I was going to fail, but as soon as I drank the Azure Potion, I felt that most of the barrier in front of me suddenly disappeared."

"Then, I persevered and seized the rare opportunity, finally breaking through the limits of my soul and becoming a formal wizard. My soul, because of this breakthrough, gained a new lifespan, becoming young and full of vitality once again."

The petrifying witch said with satisfaction, "The proper lifespan of a formal wizard is over a thousand years. Now, I'm a 'young person' again."

The normal lifespan she referred to was the lifespan without any treatment.

But wizards have far too many ways to prolong their lives.

More than two thousand years ago, the reason why first-ring wizards died on a large scale was because of the sudden invasion of the energy world and the subsequent ebb of the magical tide.

However, regardless of the method used to prolong life, the soul will become less youthful, creating obstacles for further advancement and breakthroughs.

Elvis looked at Su Nan with burning eyes and said, "So, Su Nan can also concoct potions for breakthroughs. A wizard like you would be an honored guest anywhere, even more than two thousand years ago."

"Ah, what a pity. The pharmacists' associations that used to be everywhere are all gone now. Otherwise, you could register as a first-level pharmacist with one of the associations."

"You can enjoy the benefits of the Apothecary Association, as well as the special benefits given to first-ring apothecaries by the Wizarding Council."

"In the past, the highest wizarding council in the wizarding world—the Council of Truth—would provide special benefits to wizards who excelled in special skills. The Council of Truth believed that wizards such as apothecaries and weapon refiners were of great benefit to the overall wizarding civilization, far exceeding that of ordinary wizards."

Su Nan nodded, "I see."

As his strength increased, his understanding of the wizarding world also grew.

However, it's unknown what the orthodox wizarding society of over two thousand years ago has become.

Is the traditional wizarding society still a parliamentary system?

Su Nan relayed Elvis's thoughts to the Petrifying Witch.

At the same time, Su Nan also told her his real name.

Having already become a first-ring wizard, there was no need to hide his identity any longer.

Revealing his name would allow him to better collaborate with the Petrifying Witch and Elvis to lead a formal wizarding gathering.

The petrifying witch's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "That's good. We can exchange resources again and work together to find the path to becoming second-circle wizards."

"Our gathering doesn't have to be a strong alliance; it could be a loose, transactional relationship, or something even better."

"In this way, everyone can protect their own interests."

Elvis could disregard the petrified witch who had just become a first-circle wizard.

But he couldn't ignore the thoughts of the great apothecary Su Nan; he valued that gathering because of Su Nan.

Therefore, Elvis nodded and said, "That's true."

The petrifying witch thought for a moment and said to Sunan, "How about this? From now on, Sunan Peter will be the leader of this gathering."

"Elvis and I can act as facilitators."

Elvis nodded as well.

The current situation is that only if Sunan Peter becomes the leader of this wizarding gathering can he gain the support of the people.

This will prevent the nascent gathering from being cut short halfway through.

If Elvis were to become the leader, Sunan and the Petrified Witch would inevitably suspect that this wizarding gathering might become an affiliated organization of the Thunder Ring.

If the petrifying witch continues to be the leader, she will not be able to win over the people.

Therefore, only southern Jiangsu meets the criteria.

Su Nan naturally had no intention or reason to refuse, so he nodded, thus accepting the leadership position. "From now on, that wizard gathering will be called the Storm Gathering. Because I am the Storm Grand Lord."

Elvis and the petrifying witch exchanged a glance, then nodded.

They were also surprised when they learned of Su Nan's true identity in reality.

How did Su Nan, a formal wizard, end up as the Earl of Storms?

The Church of Storms is one of the most hostile churches to wizards among the Order pantheon churches.

The Storm Lord is the high-ranking noble representative of the Storm God in the mortal realm.

Even the Church of Storms often has to protect the interests of the Storm Highlords, and therefore makes some compromises with worldly affairs...

The Storm Lord holds a high position within the Storm Church's belief system, yet a wizard named Su Nan managed to infiltrate it.

Su Nan said, "Then I'll add one more requirement for joining this wizarding organization. Wizards who are all in the Storm Gathering should try to avoid engaging in life-or-death battles with wizards from the same gathering."

"Conflict is acceptable, but killing is not."

"I want to include this in the contract. What do you think?"

The petrifying witch and Elvis are perfectly acceptable.

In fact, this requirement for joining can be considered the basis for trade at the assembly; otherwise, how could trade be conducted if everyone at the assembly were mortal enemies?

It's easy for someone to deliberately sabotage the transactions at this wizarding gathering.

Elvis and the petrifying witch suddenly realized that if this clause were added, their wizard gathering would actually be a quasi-wizard organization.

Su Nan, on the other hand, was determined to build a formal wizard-level market!

Learn from the petrifying witch's methods and use this market to collect magical resources for yourself and the participants to become second-circle wizards.

The pursuit of truth is endless.

I will continue to move forward until I have deciphered all the mysteries of the gods, and then, based on that, I will go further and seek out even more mysteries!

Suddenly, a ball of magical light appeared in front of both Su Nan and the Petrifying Witch. In front of Su Nan was a white dove, while in front of the Petrifying Witch was an owl.

Both the dove and the owl carried a letter and then stuffed it into the arms of Su Nan and the petrified witch.

Su Nan asked Elvis curiously, "This is...?"

Elvis sighed. "Oh, it's nothing, just some stuff those idiots made. I call it a scam letter."

"As I just mentioned, the magical tide has just recovered to a certain extent and is now retracing the history of the magical tides that wizarding societies experienced in the past, from weak to strong."

"Therefore, some organizations belonging to the formal wizarding level are forming."

"Then at this crucial moment, some power-hungry individuals, left behind in this land, began to cause trouble, trying to emulate the orthodox wizarding society of the past and establish a local First-Ring Wizard Council..."

"In the past, each region had a wizard council to distribute the benefits among the various wizarding schools and to mediate disputes. Actually, it wasn't really an organization; it was more like... a place where people would argue."

Elvis shrugged and said, "But this won't lead to anything. Those first-ring wizards want to form a council only to better divide resources and establish a monopoly on magical resources."

"But that's stupid. First of all, the first-ring wizards who have joined the council aren't fools; they won't tolerate being exploited. Secondly, the magical tide has just begun to recover, and everything is still uncertain. It's ridiculous that someone would want to divide up regions and monopolize resources."

"In my experience, any organization that starts arguing about dividing the spoils before the cake is even made will only end up in a mess."

"But those things are annoying. If you don't respond, they'll keep sending you magic carrier pigeons or magic owls to harass you."

"In my opinion, the two letters you received, which are different in style, should be invitations from two whimsical, incredibly greedy and foolish first-ring wizards."

Sunan looked down at his letter, which read, "The Pure White Council invites Archmage Sunan Peter, who has become a formal wizard, to come to the Council and become a member of our Council, as a member of the higher wizard council that rules the Storm Kingdom region and is above ordinary wizard organizations."

"The writer is the wizard leader of the Pure White Altar in the capital region of Nicomedia, a senior first-circle wizard, the Pure White Wizard."

Su Nan thought for a moment and concluded that the Forsaken of the Pure White Altar should be in Nicomedia, while the Insect Curse School was in Stormwind Keep.

In fact, Stormwind Keep and Nicomedia were once the first and third largest cities in the Eastern Human Empire, respectively.

Therefore, the two are not too far apart; they are quite close.

Originally, the Nicomedian Empire was a remnant of the Eastern Human Empire, and they dreamed every day of attacking the capital of the Storm Kingdom.
