Lord Wizard: Starting your studies with infinite magic crystals!

Upon hearing this,

Wayne sat up straight and looked intently at the Marquis of Rose.

The Marquis of Roses held up three fingers.

There are three important points in total.

First, at the wizarding level, while in the academy, one should diligently absorb the resources available there.

Elevate one's own level,

The capital city is the center of the empire, and the central academy is the very center of that center. The resources available within the academy are abundant, especially for someone with your talent.

It's simple enough!

This is fundamental.

Secondly, during this period, try to showcase your talents.

Don't pretend to be weak to take advantage of others.

Only by demonstrating sufficient talent can one gain enough followers.

Third, acquire as many Pokémon and dragons as possible.

Wayne listened to these three key points, thought for a moment, and then asked a question.

"Big sister,"

I understand the first point, but the followers of the second point...

What does that mean?

There's a third point. Leaving aside the sprites for now, as for dragons, how easy are they to obtain?

And why should we acquire as much as possible?

Marquis Rose listened to the two questions and began to explain.

"Lord Wizard,"

The reason they are considered the protagonists of this era is because even after three thousand years of development,

Now,

Even though no eighth-level rule lord wizard has yet been born, they are still able to occupy an entire academy on their own.

even,

The Elemental Wizard Academy and the Knight Wizard Academy will also serve them.

That's the reason.

At this point, the Marquis of Rose looked at Wayne and spoke.

"Hearing this,

"Little Wayne, you must have guessed by now, right?"

Wayne nodded slightly.

"It means that elemental wizards and knights became followers of the lord."

Is it right?"

As Wayne finished speaking, the Marquis of Rose spoke in a proud tone.

"good,

Even the Elemental Wizard Academy, which has produced level eight rule-based beings, and the Knight Academy, which has produced level eight rule-based knights.

In the surging tide of the times

You must also bow your head.

Lord wizards are the protagonists of this era; you must demonstrate sufficient talent to gain the allegiance of knights and wizards.

And they will be the foundation of your territory.

Or rather, the initial core team.

Compared to followers recruited from outside, they are more talented and more loyal than we would like.

He paused for a moment before speaking.

"As for dragons and sprites, you can think of them as resources."

The little sprites can cultivate magical plants in batches.

And the place where the dragon dwells

It will be accompanied by magic crystals, mineral deposits, etc.

Owning a sprite or a dragon can attract more followers.

As for how to obtain it,

The elves are the simplest; in their twelfth year of study at the academy, they are all given an assessment.

First to third place.

You will then have the chance to own a Pokémon.

As for dragons

After the assessment, there will be a trip to the Dragon Continent.

The course lasts for six years.

During this time, you can search for dragon contracts that recognize you on the Dragon Continent.

Listening to what the Marquis of Rose said,

Wayne nodded slightly, his tone somewhat solemn.

"Big sister, I've got it."

The Marquis of Rose nodded slightly.

"Just remember that. Now it's time to take you home."

Pack your things.

I will take you to live in Rose Manor and give you some investment opportunities.

Three days later, I will lead a team to take you to the capital.

Done.

Ice Dragon Ivy didn't need the Marquis of Rose to say anything more; she spread her wings and flew towards the place where Xunlie's descendants lived.

.........

A quarter of an hour,

The dragon landed in front of the villa, and Marquis Rose, along with Wayne, leaped down from the top of the dragon's head.

Butler Zobel, who had been waiting at the door,

He bowed.

"Young master, Your Excellency the Marquis."

Wayne nodded slightly.

"Grandpa Zobel, get up. I have awakened top-tier talents in both the spiritual and elemental realms."

I'm about to go to the capital to study.

Now I'm back to pack my things.

Zobel smiled: "God bless us."

Congratulations, young master.

He then turned his body to let Wayne and Marquis Rose in.

As you walk in,

After arranging for the Marquis of Rose to sit down, Wayne went to pack his things.

Marquis de Rose,

He sat on the recliner that Wayne often sat in, looking up slightly at the sky.

……

the other side,

In Wayne's room, Zobel watched Wayne pack his things.

Actually, when it comes to tidying up,

It would be more appropriate to say that it was taken.

Because there are only three things to pack: the two spatial rings left by my parents.

What's inside?

No one knew, including Wayne himself, since he lacked the corresponding bloodline and the extraordinary energy of a novice knight or wizard.

It can't be opened naturally.

As for having someone else force it open, tsk tsk, don't be ridiculous.

He wanted to live longer.

Although this era is relatively safe, given the abundance of resources, it is still less dangerous than obtaining resources in the wild.

This child, who was completely helpless,

It seems there's only one.

A better choice.

The last item was the graduation souvenir left by his father.

Take it carefully.

Wayne turned to look at Zobel.

"Grandpa Zobel, I'm going to live at Rose Manor next."

Three days later, I will go to the capital to study.

You now have two choices.

Seeing Zobel about to speak, Wayne raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't worry, let me finish."

The first option is for you to come with me to the capital.

I need someone to handle things for me later.

As for money, there's no need to worry. My father and mother left me enough money when they were alive.

The second option,

This villa is yours now, for your retirement. You can bring your family over.

This is the heart of the Rose Collar.

You know what this means.

Zobel paused for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

See here,

Wayne nodded slightly and said directly, "Then the villa is yours."

As for the monthly pension of 10,000 gold coins from the Rose Clan, just give me ten purple gold coins.

leftover,

Consider it your retirement money.

After saying that, he left Zobel's side, and Zobel gave a wry smile.

.........

After a cup of tea,

Zobel looked at the soaring dragon and sighed softly.

"That's really decisive."

Enormous profits are always tempting, and when faced with enormous profits...

Faced with a choice,

Therefore, an opportunity was lost.

the other side,

Above the giant dragon's head soaring high in the sky, Wayne toyed with ten purple-gold coins, each the size of a baby's fist.

At this moment,

A clear, cold voice rang out.

"Little Wayne, I never knew you had such a decisive side."

Wayne's face darkened.

"Big sister, why are you eavesdropping on people's conversations?"

"Hehe,

This isn't the older sister's fault. Given her level of understanding, that small distance and speaking right next to her ear...

"Nothing's different."

He then asked a rhetorical question.

"I'm more curious about why you would do that?"

Faced with this problem,

Wayne casually remarked, "Isn't this normal?"

Loyalty that is not absolute is, in effect, absolute disloyalty.

The time for hesitation

I've been thinking too much. Considering I haven't had any other thoughts in the past two years...

Let him retire comfortably.

Upon hearing this,

Marquis Rose shook his head, but a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.

"You do have a decisive personality, although I don't think so."

This is the real reason.

But that doesn't stop me from seeing your reason for not wanting familiar people around you.

But that's not wrong.

Keep it up; this decisiveness will become a sharp sword on your path to growth.

Upon hearing this,

Wayne didn't say much, only glancing slightly into the distance; this was naturally not the real reason.

The real reason is that,

He'll be using the unlimited number of grid spaces soon.

From childhood to adulthood,

The butler who was always by his side—it's hard to hide the truth. Since that's the case, it would be better to get rid of him from the start.

Leave enough compensation

There weren't any other emotions, though. Even when he returned here decades later and encountered Zobel again,

That's an opportunity that happens only once every few decades.

Rather than harboring a secret.
