Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1538 The Key to Life Potion!

"Sigh, when will this end..."

Escher was just an ordinary farmer on the Wizarding Continent. Every year when the land was harvested, he had to pay a lot of rent and taxes to the lords and nobles. Generally speaking, farmers' income consisted of three parts: crop harvest, hunting harvest, and odd jobs. Nowadays, not only has the crop harvest plummeted, but due to the impact of the ecological environment, the prey in the mountains has been almost entirely occupied by extremely powerful beasts. Odd jobs are not a long-term solution either.

The reason why the farmers here are living in hardship is precisely because of the war with the Roaring Earth Wizard Academy!

The war between the Earth Howling Wizarding Academy and a mechanical academy in Sky City has been going on for years. Although the war between wizards does not directly affect the safety of ordinary human lives, in the wizarding world, the survival of ordinary humans is based on the wizarding academies.

Without a large number of wizard apprentices going out to collect specimens, monsters that are terrifying to ordinary humans will proliferate, making it difficult for hunters to survive. Even the energy spillover from battles between wizards will cause some ecological pollution of the land. Although this will only be a very short time for wizards and will have almost no impact on the wizarding world as a whole, it is equivalent to a year's harvest for ordinary humans!

Although it was a war between wizarding academies, in the end, it was the ordinary civilians who made the world run its course who suffered the most.

"Our food supply won't last until this winter. Everyone in the village has left. I heard that the textile factories in Shadow City are hiring in large numbers. The lord is going to take back the land and have everyone grow cotton and raise sheep. Escher, otherwise we would also..."

"No! This is the land our ancestors have cultivated for generations. You can leave if you want, but I'm not leaving!"

He never expected his wife to persuade him like that. Although Escher knew she was right, he had never left these mountains and had only ever been to a town. He was unwilling to leave because he was not ready to embrace the new era of the wizarding world that was quietly changing.

"Sigh... Thanksgiving is in two days. I hope the town's lord will at least make a show of giving us some extra food."

The wife tied her headscarf tighter; the first snow of winter was about to fall, and the temperature had dropped drastically. Without looking back, she carried the mud-covered sweet potatoes home.

Escher stood there for a while, looking at his wife's thin figure with deep regret, but powerless to change anything. In his pain, he followed her back.

After the two left, silently, a figure emerged from the gradually freezing ground.

This person is none other than the Earth Roaring Saint Mark Wizard!

"Having survived the War of Civilizations, only to suffer in the Wizarding World War, what is the point of all this...?"

It's not just ordinary people; wizarding apprentices, full-fledged wizards, and even the academy tower masters and holy figures living under the rules are also suffering. Unless they reach the level where they can participate in setting the rules of the wizarding world, everyone is just a part of the unseen world.

Similarly, it is precisely because this right is so precious and tempting that wizards from different factions greedily fight for it and refuse to give way to each other.

"As long as the factional fighting in the wizarding world continues, this kind of thing will never stop, and neither they nor we will ever have true peace."

"who!?"

The Earth Roaring Saint Mark Wizard suddenly turned around, his face, with two blue fangs, filled with astonishment. As a fifth-level Saint Mark Wizard who had experienced the Civilization War, how could this person appear so close to him silently without being detected!

Dressed in rags, his body seemed not to be a physical entity, but rather a manifestation of some kind of rule energy. He carried a silver longsword on his back, and his eyes were indifferent, calm, and full of wisdom. This was Green's Thanksgiving promotional avatar.

Thanks to the massive population reduction caused by the Civilization War, the Origin of Annihilation's clone, and the promotion of Thanksgiving by a large number of believers, the population has truly spread as the Civilization War ended and the population has increased. Although this clone's power is only at the level of a fifth-level being, its body is already able to become more and more regularized as the annual festival approaches.

It is believed that as the wizarding world gradually recovers and Thanksgiving spreads to every village and every person, the power will inevitably advance to the level of a true spirit as it grows.

At one time, Green's Thanksgiving clone also thought that this was a benefit after the war of civilization, that he had caught up with a good era for promoting Thanksgiving during the process of population decline and gradual growth. However, as time went by, Green finally realized that it was the hardships of life that made Thanksgiving truly popular!

This... is not what Green wanted!

"Who I am, does it even matter...? Look at the wizarding world now! To protect this world, billions of martyrs sacrificed themselves, stopping the enemy's advance. Now, this hard-won peace is being squandered by those true spirit wizards. What are those wizards who sacrificed themselves to protect this world in their eyes!?"

Heartbroken, the Source of Destruction's clone on Thanksgiving looked resentful, hating itself for not being able to make the wizarding world a better place.

Green's clone's words resonated with a roar from the earth, which clenched its fists and instinctively asked, "Yes, what can we do if I am us?"

Slowly, Grimm's Thanksgiving clone took out several small bottles filled with emerald green liquid, which were then handed over by elemental power, amidst the doubts of the Earth Roaring Stigmata Wizard.

"Greatness begins with the small. This is the great Tower of Annihilation. The Holy Mark Wizard had long seen through the historical cycle of the wizarding world. In order to save billions of suffering civilians and for a better and stronger future for the wizarding world, he used his sublime wisdom and the profound mystery of the Key of Life to develop the hope of the wizarding world. It is right here."

Upon hearing the words "Tower of Annihilation Saint Mark Wizard," the Earth Roar Saint Mark Wizard's eyes widened in shock.

"You mean that Archmage of the Tower of Oblivion, the one known as the future savior of the wizarding world, the one with the tenth ring!?"

"Exactly!"

The Thanksgiving clone said in a low voice, "Unable to bear seeing the wizarding world descend into chaos once more due to power struggles, the Archmage of the Tower of Oblivion has returned from the cosmic world to the wizarding world to promote the power of the Key of Life, while making final preparations for the dedication to the True Spirit. Go, feel the great power within the Key of Life. If you share the same ideals as the great Archmage of the Tower of Oblivion, gather before the Eternal Mechanical Clock in Sky City seven years from now."

Looking solemnly at the Life Key potion in his hand, the Earth Roaring Saint Mark Wizard nodded and slowly disappeared.

"The 127th. There are only two days left until Thanksgiving. Perhaps a few miracles this Thanksgiving will have an unexpected publicity effect. We must not let the promotion plan be nipped in the bud. Hmm, I wonder how many people will follow us on our expedition seven years from now, and who the next Stigmata Wizard will be..."

Grimm was actually using his Origin of Annihilation clone to promote the Key of Life potion among various Stigmata Wizards.

Because it was only a first-generation product developed hastily with all our efforts, the Key to Life potion still has great limitations. It can only have an effect on pregnant women and infants. However, once the baby is born, he is a natural wizard who can sense the power of nature and already has the ability to change the wizarding world!

The Grimm Wizarding Ancestor Project has officially begun, like seeds being sown and then tried to spread.
