Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1871 Financial Crisis!?

Three years later.

The hall where Green was located was empty and spacious, with nothing but stone tables and benches that seemed to blend into the ground.

No wonder, after the Dark Ancestor Wushi left an unknown pattern curse on Grin, any energy or matter that came into contact with Grin would disappear without a trace after a long time.

Green was unsure whether to categorize it as a curse or a special ability.

However, given the current state of this ability, it is highly contagious to ordinary matter, but its contagiousness to energy is much weaker. As for living organisms, it can at most only affect some flowers and shrubs. So far, no animals have been wiped out because of Green.

Silent and blinking his tricolored eyes, Green kept flipping through the contents of the light screen inside the crystal ball, trying to find some information from the ancient wizards about his plight through the Book of the Holy Tower, but to no avail.

Instead, many of the crystal balls in his hands were wiped away one after another, but Green did not give up.

Given the vast knowledge contained in the Book of the Holy Tower, even without definitive answers, as long as one puts in the effort, one will surely find some clues, instead of being completely clueless as we are now.

"Why……"

Green, who was flipping through the documents, sighed.

The crystal ball floating in front of him first had its outer outline gradually erased by an unknown force, and then it slowly disappeared from the outside in.

Beneath the Face of Truth, Grimm's three-colored eyes intently observed the entire process of the crystal ball's disappearance.

"5.31 seconds, which is two-thousandths faster than the last time."

Rubbing his right eyebrow, Green quickly took out a new crystal ball and continued to explore the Book of the Holy Tower with the supreme power of the Wizard King. Green's process of exploring the Book of the Holy Tower at will was like searching for the long history of wizarding civilization over millions of years. Browsing at will is not only the dream of many wizards, but also a way to ignore the value of knowledge with supreme power and rules.

This perfectly embodies the universally acknowledged truth among true spiritual wizards: endless knowledge equals endless power!

A short while later, all of Green's senses activated the massive magic array barrier in the room. A bean crawled in through the crack in the door, spun around, and transformed into the image of the first-ring True Spirit Wizard, Silvana.

This True Spirit Wizard has already found clues to the ruins of the Immortal Realm world and has returned for this purpose. However, Green is temporarily delayed because he is affected by the Dark Ancestor's method of erasing his outline.

"I think it's time for you, the Wizarding King, to step in and address the imminent crisis plaguing the wizarding world!"

Uh?

Green had assumed that the first-ring True Spirit Wizard had come here because of the Immortal Realm Ruins or because of clues about the negative effects he was currently dealing with as the Dark Ancestor of the Beginningless, but he never expected that the Wizarding World would be in crisis.

"What crisis? The envoys from the Ironblood Galaxy World Cluster and the Yongdie World Cluster are both on their way. Could it be that other world clusters are making some unusual moves?"

Green's expression was slightly serious.

This first-ring True Spirit Wizard is a great True Spirit Wizard whose footprints have spread to various world communities. A crisis that a first-ring True Spirit Wizard speaks of must be a crisis that can truly affect the life and death of the wizarding world, or at the very least, a crisis that will affect the foundation of civilization's progress.

As the first Wizard King and the absolute controller and person in charge of the rights of wizarding civilization, Green dared not be careless in the slightest.

"It's a financial speculation crisis concerning the fragments of the Demon Hunter Space! Since the promotion of the Innate Wizarding Rules, the number of wizards has increased exponentially. As a higher life form than primitive humans, the spatial and temporal spans of wizards have undergone earth-shattering changes. They are flocking to the major wizarding academy areas and holy tower areas. Cities that once existed as gathering places for wizarding families and ordinary humans no longer exist, while the rules of the various holy towers and wizarding academies have expanded a thousandfold. Financial rules have permeated every corner of the Wizarding Alliance. The crisis the wizarding world is facing now originates from the financial sector!"

With a solemn expression, the first-ring True Spirit Wizard said, "Fragments of the Demon Hunter Space were once a symbol of Demon Hunter Wizards, an essential item for every Demon Hunter Wizard before the Third Civilization War, unconditionally provided by various Holy Towers. However, with the arrival of the glorious era of the Great Explosion of Wizarding Civilization, the number of Demon Hunter Wizards increased exponentially. The wizarding world has stopped bestowing Demon Hunter Space Fragments upon wizards, replacing it with the sale of Wizard Essence. What seemed like a reasonable rule at the time has now become the source of the wizarding world's financial crisis!"

Green had also figured out some of the tricks of the trade.

"You mean, wizards and wizard coins will face a credibility crisis, and the wizarding world may consequently face a weakening of its control over the Wizarding Alliance?"

Seeing that Green instantly understood the potential crisis in the financial rules of the wizarding world, the True Spirit Wizard, who had originally planned to explain the pros and cons in detail, realized that he had seriously underestimated the wisdom of the Wizard King.

"Uh...yes."

Sylvanas paused, then continued, "The root cause of all this lies in the fact that the Wizarding World over-issued a massive amount of Wizarding Coins to support the Demon Hunting Expedition, far exceeding the productive capacity of the Wizarding Alliance, causing the Wizarding Coins to continuously depreciate. Those worlds and Stigmata Wizards who had stockpiled large amounts of Wizarding Coins, upon realizing this, turned to investing their coins in the market for Demon Hunting Space Fragments, thus countering the ever-decreasing rate of the Wizarding Coins and preserving their value. This has resulted in the price of Demon Hunting Space Fragments exceeding its intrinsic value by thousands, even tens of thousands of times. Once this constantly evolving conceptual commodity stops being speculated on, when it is bought and sold at its actual value, the resulting financial tsunami will likely be..."

Silvana didn't continue speaking after that.

The Wizarding World's rule over the Wizarding Alliance relies on three things: the Wizarding Coin system, a powerful demon hunter legion, and an advanced civilization system, with the Wizarding Coin being the most important of these!

In the process of the wizarding world conquering the surrounding worlds, the first requirement was that the native worlds must circulate wizard coins. Every few years, they had to pay tribute in wizard coins to enforce this rule. Furthermore, the invisible plunder of resources through wizard coins became the inexhaustible source of development for the wizarding world.

If the Wizarding Alliance experiences a crisis of trust in Wizarding Coins, then the Wizarding World's dominance over the Wizarding Alliance will undoubtedly be greatly diminished!

"Oh? Is that so! Not bad, not bad at all. First Ring, to be so perceptive of the financial crisis. It seems that after the Second Ring, wizards in the wizarding world are finally getting involved in this field again. I'll give you a good credit this time! So, what is your solution?"

The first-ring True Spirit Wizard was delighted by Green's praise.

"I believe the best solution is to sell the concept equity of the Dark World. The development and production of the Dark World will take at least several thousand years to generate actual value, but the current financial crisis in the Wizarding World's Demon Hunting Space cannot possibly sustain us for that long. The massive resources consumed daily by the Demon Hunting Expeditions are forcing us to issue more Wizard Coins to fill the expenditure gap. Therefore, we can use these concept equity to dilute the financial crisis of the Demon Hunting Space fragments and support the Wizarding World through its most difficult time! After the Dark World is developed, the actual productivity value of the Wizarding Alliance will increase, and we will no longer need to issue more Wizard Coins. When the Alliance's actual productivity matches the price of Wizard Coins, the crisis will be over."

With a hint of smugness, the first-ring True Spirit Wizard, after learning the financial system of the previous second-ring True Spirit Wizard, grew to love the feeling of easily manipulating the vast resources of two world communities through financial means.

In addition, she herself inherited the detached and unrestrained nature of the Immortal Realm community, making her a character with two sides, and this situation is not unusual in the wizarding world.

"Heh heh, so what we need to do first is to lock up all this massive amount of over-issued wizard coins, giving people unlimited confidence to support the wizarding world through its most critical moment, right?"

Upon hearing Green's question, the first-ring True Spirit Wizard nodded and looked at Green, as if the first Wizard King had some profound insights to share.

Gently fiddling with the Titan's Ring of Loss on his thumb, Grimm's tricolored eyes flashed with a terrifyingly sharp light as he said in a low voice, "The Dark World concept stock thing is not a long-term solution. World development must not be linked to the commercial interests of foreign races; it must be firmly controlled by wizards! As for the massive amount of wizard coins trapped in the Demon Hunter Space Fragment that is about to collapse, hehehehe, my third disciple who has returned to the wizarding world should be able to help. I'll leave this matter to you two. Just ask him for as many Demon Hunter Space Fragments as you need, and then use the Holy Tower's rule energy to fix them. The huge profits of millions will be enough to support our Demon Hunter Expedition this time."

The first-ring True Spirit Wizard looked at Green in astonishment.

How much demon-hunting space do you need? Just ask Andersen for it! What does that even mean?

Clearly, the first-ring True Spirit Wizard does not yet understand the characteristics of the Andussemo Great Destruction rule.
