Activation

Powerful

spell light shot forth from Leylin’s body, to Ernest’s shock. He’d only

sensed this sort of terrifying, imposing aura and pressure from

high-ranked wizards before.

Now, however, this had appeared on Leylin!

“A

high– high-ranked wizard! Haha… I’m definitely dreaming! This is a

dream, right?” He slapped himself so hard his face was swollen, but that

didn’t allow him to wake up. He could only choose to accept this

reality grudgingly.

“A rank 7 intellectual activation spell?”

Leylin had chosen to hide his energy undulations before, and Ernest

obviously did not have the ability to see through it. Even high-ranked

priests would not be able to discover it.

‘While this spell can

illuminate the entire wizard tower, the tower genie that’s generated

will only be a low-ranked kind which won’t be all that intelligent. It

won’t be able to become a wizard’s right hand man… Besides, I didn’t

memorise this rank 7 spell yesterday…’ The spell slots of a wizard had

to be prepared a day in advance. Leylin only had one rank 7 spell slot

now, and he obviously wouldn’t have saved Activate Intelligence.

However, with the numerous arcane models in his hand, Leylin now had more choices.

“The rank 7 arcane spell Activate Construct is better than the rank 7 wizard spell…”

Arcanists

naturally had their own wizard towers, and they had invented countless

methods to activate them. Every genie born of their processes was far

more exceptional than the alternative, so Leylin easily made his choice.

“In

my name as Leylin Faulen, activate!” Leylin silently chanted in his

mind, multi-coloured lights flashing at his hands. Through the crystal,

it spread out.

“These energy undulations… This is definitely a rank 7 spell… But it doesn’t seem to be Activate Intellect!”

Ernest

had yet to become a high-ranked wizard, and obviously could not tell

the difference between an arcane spell and a wizard spell.

Arcane

spells looked just like wizard spells on the surface, they just weren’t

bound by the Weave. Forget Ernest, even if high-ranked wizards were here

they wouldn’t have been able to see the difference.

The dazzling

light first lit up the core control room, spreading in all directions.

The four elemental pools began to rumble as they began to draw

continuous streams of energy from the four great elemental planes.

Level

after level of the wizard tower lit up, the powerful magic light like

bright torches in the darkness. A wondrous scene was created at Port

Venus.

This wave was sensed by many powerful beings. Be it priests

or other exceptional powers, everyone lifted their heads in the

direction of the wizard tower, concentrating on the scene.

Bishop

Xena of the Goddess of Wealth gazed at the wizard tower in the distance,

looking stunned for a moment before regaining her usual calm. “I never

expected that you’d already hired a high-ranked wizard to look over us

in secret. Congratulations, Lord Baron, it looks like the security

problems we were worried about can be set aside…”

“Oh, not at

all…” Baron Jonas had a professional smile on his face. While he was

saying something so modest, he was just as confused.

‘Where did

Ernest find a high-ranked wizard to help out? I wasn’t even greeted

before.’ The Baron couldn’t believe that a child like Leylin could

advance to rank 15 either.

Many swears were uttered among the

crowd at the port. Many shadows snuck out of the sewers, darkness, and

even private houses, disappearing quickly from the harbour.

“Damn it! How did the Faulen Family activate the wizard tower so quickly? The intel isn’t accurate!”

“Leave

quickly! The detection abilities of a wizard tower are not to be

trifled with!” With the powerful suppression from the wizard tower, all

the schemes of these people had failed disgracefully.

……

Inside the wizard tower.

A hazy image of a girl’s face formed in the crystal. Her eyes gleamed as she smiled at Leylin, “Master!”

In

more vulgar terms, the tower genie was the seed of the wizard who’d

activated it. The natural brand extended deep, and changing the master

of the tower was a troublesome matter.

“Alright. Report the operational state of the wizard tower!” Leylin commanded.

“Defensive

spell formations completely activated. The four elemental pools are

operating normally and have amassed 12.15% energy,” the female tower

genie reported to him in a formal tone.

“Mm. Start the detection

spell formation and set the scope to be Port Venus. The baron’s

residence and city hall are to be inspected thoroughly. Immediately

report any energy undulations above rank 10!”

“Understood!” The tower genie quickly carried out Leylin’s wishes.

Leylin

then brought Ernest away from the core control room, layers of powerful

lustre enveloping the area. Ernest seemed reluctant to leave. He knew

that once the tower genie was activated, nobody could enter this place

besides Leylin.

“What’s going on? When did you become a

high-ranked wizard?” Ernest shouted after they returned to the drawing

room, unable to hold himself back anymore.

“It’s a long story…”

Leylin smiled slightly. The considerate tower genie then ordered for a

few stone puppets to send over some cups of clear water. This potable

water was sourced from the water elemental plane. Since it was a new

construct, the daily commodities would only be moved here the next day.

However, neither Leylin nor Ernest minded this.

“The stone puppets

are at most comparable to rank 5 Professionals, which is a little low.

They can only be used for odd jobs…” Leylin took a sip of the pure water

that had a sweet taste.

After drinking all the cool water in

front of him from the jar, Ernest finally regained his calm. However,

his two eyes were firmly trained on Leylin, like huge searchlights,

“Enough! You’d better give me an answer now!”

“Alright…” Leylin

laughed wryly. He raised his hands in surrender before giving a brief

account of his experiences. Of course, he withheld quite a bit and added

some fake information. He was great at telling stories anyway, and many

of the details were still hair-raising.

……

“So that means… my son has already become a high-ranked wizard…”

Leylin was inside the baron’s study room, left with no choice but to retell the story in front of the baron and his master.

“Yes!

He really is a wizard genius. I don’t doubt his ability to become a

legendary wizard at all! Who knew that I, Ernest, would be able to guide

a legendary apprentice? The next time people see Leylin, they’ll first

think: Oh! So it’s Leylin! The wizard that Ernest taught…”

Ernest was obviously immersed in his fantasies, while Baron Jonas was more practical.

“Good! I wouldn’t feel at ease handing over our family’s wizard tower anyone else anyway, so this is the best scenario…”

Leylin

bowed. “Yes, father! However, please announce that you invited another

high-ranked wizard to keep this secret. I would like to take this

opportunity to help the family solve some issues at one go.”

“Do

as you please. I support you all the way!” Baron Jonas found that he had

nothing to say to Leylin. From childhood, his son had never given him

anything to worry about. Sometimes, he even wondered if this child of

his was a genius or a freak.

“The port seems a lot more peaceful ever since the wizard tower began monitoring it…” Leylin sighed.

“That’s normal with a wizard tower,” Ernest rolled his shoulders back.

“I’m

planning to leave for a period of time after this, I’ve handed most of

the permissions of the wizard tower to master. There shouldn’t be any

problem with controlling it for now… We should also begin to take in

wizard apprentices from our territory…” Leylin stated his thoughts.

With

the wizard tower and a high-ranked wizard around, there would be no

difficulty in nurturing apprentices by themselves. Even Ernest would be

able to do this well.

“Don’t worry. I discovered a few good seeds

here, and only lacked resources and an environment to teach them…”

Ernest’s eyes showed how emotional he was. If a high-ranked wizard could

improve by using the wizard tower, the benefits to a middle-ranked

wizard like him would definitely be immense.

It could be said that

the existence of the wizard tower made him believe he had the

opportunity to become a high-ranked wizard in his lifetime!

“Mm.

I’ve also left behind some foundational and high-ranked wizard

information in the wizard tower’s library. Master can take a look…” Be

it Ernest’s advancement or gaining a few wizard apprentices from their

territory, everything would increase their strength. Leylin would be

more than happy for all this to happen.

“Information on wizards…” Ernest’s eyes brightened.

Meanwhile,

Leylin was snickering inside. Though no wizard organisation would allow

wizards who had studied with them to leak high-ranked information,

wasn’t Silverymoon City already destroyed? Well then...

Still, he

kept back the information for legendary wizards. It would be far too

shocking, and Leylin did not want to get too much attention.

“Alright!

Do you want to solve the issues with the Barbarians? The devils and

demons? The churches? Do you need any help?” Baron Jonas muttered.

Leylin thought about it for a while. He then leaned his head to the side as he spoke, “The pirates first, then!”
