Lord Wizard: Starting your studies with infinite magic crystals!

Time flies.

As the fourth academic year drew to a close, Wayne emerged from the secret hut after finishing his daily training.

"Young Master, have you finished your cultivation?"

Wayne nodded and sat down. Aurora, sitting opposite him at the table, rested her chin on her hand and looked at Wayne, suddenly suggesting, "Young Master, it's the end of the year, how about we go out for a stroll?"

Wayne was stunned for a moment, then thought about his cultivation progress over the past year. He had now reached the third stage of the second level, which was the third imprint of the second level array diagram.

The two subsequent array formations Wayne chose for the second level were the Golden Witch Array and the Teleportation Array, which can be considered as an overall upgrade. Now the rune imprint of the second level Teleportation Array is more than half completed.

Wayne was quite satisfied with this progress, so he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll go take a shower and then we'll go out for a walk."

"OK!"

…………

At dusk.

In the heart of the commercial district in the southern part of the capital, Aurora and Wayne walked side by side, with Nia perched on Wayne's shoulder.

"It's so lively!"

"Of course! The last two weeks of the year in the capital are always bustling. Come on, young master, let's go for a stroll up ahead."

As he spoke, he pulled Wayne along and started walking forward, and Wayne naturally followed suit.

Ten minutes later.

Not far from the entrance of the Dragon Merchant Guild, Wayne looked at the GG sign at the entrance with some confusion. It read:

[Potential genius lords are eligible to apply for membership in the Dragon Merchant Guild. Those interested are welcome to come inside.]

"This is?"

Hearing Wayne's slightly puzzled voice, Aurora followed Wayne's gaze and saw clearly what was going on.

Aurora chuckled softly.

"That's not all, young master. Look at the entrances of the Alchemy Guild and the Elf Guild."

Upon hearing this, Wayne turned his head to look around, and after looking around, he realized that the meaning was roughly the same, so he turned back to look at Aurora.

Seeing this, Aurora explained, "It's not unusual. Every year at the end of the year, the merchant guilds of these three lord wizards, which they privately call the 'Big Three,' will put up such a sign."

"Because at the end of the year, ascetics like the young master, as well as lords and wizards who travel abroad, will generally come out or return to the capital."

"And this sign is specifically designed to attract geniuses like you, young master."

Upon hearing this...

Wayne understood somewhat, but couldn't help asking, "So, the three starter families' decision to move in isn't solely based on how prosperous or large your territory is; they can also negotiate?"

Aurora nodded.

"certainly."

"However, the prerequisite is that these three entities feel you have made a sufficient investment; otherwise, they will not move in with the lord."

He paused for a moment as he spoke.

"With the young master's talent, there's definitely no problem. Maybe this sign was made especially for the young master."

Upon hearing this, Wayne couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

"Your young master is indeed talented, but how could such a large business guild be like that?"

He then looked around at the three chambers of commerce and added another sentence.

"With their arrival, will the territory solve the resource problem, and are there any other benefits?"

Before Aurora could speak, a pleasant voice rang out: "If this gentleman is interested, he may wish to go inside and learn more."

Upon hearing this, Wayne turned around and saw a gentle yet dignified woman, at least two meters tall, with dragon horns on her head, standing behind them.

"Who are you?"

In response to Aurora's question.

The woman with dragon horns on her head revealed a standard smile, but because of her temperament, the smile seemed unforced and extremely gentle.

"I am Theron Charlize, and also the Grand President of the Dragon Merchant Guild of the Myriad Races Continent."

"You can call me Theron."

Wayne didn't rush to reply. A thought suddenly popped into his mind: Aurora was right after all.

Therefore, he stated frankly.

"Theron, you're not really waiting for me like Aurora said, are you?"

As he spoke, he looked suspiciously at the other two chambers of commerce.

Seeing Wayne's reaction, Theron couldn't help but smile.

"Forget about those two companies, they're not the same as our Dragon Merchant Guild. Now, let me answer your question."

"How so?"

"You could say that, or you could say that it isn't."

Hearing this seemingly plausible answer, Wayne looked puzzled, but he soon got the answer.

Then Theron's voice rang out again.

"Wayne, your name is well-known in the capital, you are quite famous, so you are definitely one of the people I need to observe."

"The reason I say no is because all the exceptionally talented lord wizards are subjects of my observation. I need to make judgments regarding the expansion of the Dragon Merchant Guild."

"That's right, it's because you stand out among all the lord wizards; you could say you're the one they're paying close attention to."

He raised his hand as he spoke.

"After saying so much, why don't we go inside and sit down to talk?"

"Otherwise, it would seem a bit impolite of me to just stand here."

Upon hearing this, Wayne nodded slightly, feeling as if he were bathed in a spring breeze, and couldn't help but marvel at the art of speaking.

She clearly wanted him to come in and talk, but she made it sound like she was being impolite to him, and then turned to look at Aurora.

"What are you standing there for?"

He pulled Aurora toward the Dragon Merchant Guild.

…………

Five minutes later.

Wayne and Aurora were sitting on the sofa in the top-floor office of the Dragon Merchant Guild when Theron walked over with several glasses of juice.

"Have a glass of juice."

As he spoke, he handed the cups to the two of them, then chuckled softly and tapped the tray lightly. A miniature cup floated up in front of Nia.

"Hey, little elf, here's your special cup."

Nia took the cup and couldn't help but smile; after all, no one wants to be ignored. Wayne, seeing this, was naturally pleased, as it's hard to dislike someone who treats others this way.

At this moment, Wayne looked at Theron, and his gaze became more sincere.

"Tell me about this."

Theron naturally knew what Wayne was talking about, so he nodded.

"Then let me introduce it."

"The Dragon Merchant Guild's move in is actually for expansion purposes, and it won't stop until its expansion across the Myriad Races Continent ends."

After a brief moment of thought, Wayne understood. At that moment, Theron's voice rang out again.

"Of course, this is a win-win situation. With the arrival of the Chamber of Commerce, the resources needed by the lord wizards' territories can be solved, which will significantly improve both the attraction of outside travelers and the prosperity of the territories."

"There is a difference between having a territory with the three starter families and having a territory without them."

The words fell.

Wayne shook his head.

"Why don't you tell me something I don't know?"

"It seems you have a rather impatient nature. I'll just tell you something you don't know."

"The biggest advantage of the Dragon Merchant Guild's presence is that it attracts the attention of ordinary people, travelers, and other such people from the outside world."

"The arrival of the Dragon Merchant Guild signifies that the Dragon Merchant Guild is optimistic about the development of this territory and its future potential. For those extraordinary individuals and ordinary people who are limited by information and knowledge, this is the best way to identify them."
