Scroll of Witchcraft

Chapter 19 The Return
The plan in Li Wei's mind has been lined up for several pages. Now he has a lot of experimental ideas, but due to the shortage of materials, he can only stay at the step of chip deduction.

If a wizard can conduct research without distraction, the resources he needs will be a bottomless pit. It only took Levi less than three years to drain the entire Coffin Island.

"If the Owen family's boat doesn't come, my magic rice will mature for another season."

The rice waves surged outside the castle where Li Wei lived, and some hunched figures were working hard in the rice fields.

Taking a closer look, those figures working in the rice fields turned out to be the elders of the major families, the aloof wizard lords.

Layson, the head and face of Coffin Island, seemed to be aware of Li Wei's sight, and worked harder to use the nectar technique to nourish the magic rice.

In places where magic stone resources are scarce, some wizards will plant special magic crops as a lower substitute for magic stones.

When Levi left the academy, he specially collected some magical crops that could be grown in the barren land, in case of emergency.

The climate of Coffin Island is more suitable for growing a magical crop called magic rice. Under the temptation of Li Wei's threats and potions, all wizard apprentices on the island joined the ranks of planting magic rice.

The cultivation of magic rice is very labor-intensive for wizards. It is difficult to achieve a good harvest if they cannot do it themselves. It is conceivable that it is difficult for wizards who are accustomed to being pampered to go to the fields to farm. If it is a last resort, wizards will not take the initiative to plant magic rice.

"The yield of magic rice is still too low. Nearly ten wizard apprentices can plant more than ten acres of magic rice to meet the meditation needs of a third-class apprentice."

Li Wei shook his head secretly, no wonder no wizards are willing to farm, it is really thankless.

There are quite a few wizards who are proficient in botany, variation, and blood science, but I have never heard of any wizard who is willing to improve these magical crops.

"Wizard apprentices want to be promoted to full-time wizards, so naturally they don't want to pay attention to this kind of low-income, long-term research."

"Official wizards are living people, so they can move away from places with poor resources. Why bother with magical crops? Wouldn't it be better to plant more medicinal materials?"

The soul of farming in Li Wei's heart didn't burn for long before it was ruthlessly extinguished.

……

Another month passed, and the ship that Li Wei had been thinking about finally arrived. The local wizard apprentices on Coffin Island were all crying. The plague god was finally leaving.

On the ship, the leading wizard is a second-class apprentice.

After taking away several newcomers with wizard talent, he respectfully invited Li Wei onto the ship.

"Has Enchanted Garden Academy start to expand enrollment now?"

Li Wei saw that there were many newcomers with qualifications of Ding and other qualifications on board, as well as many civilians in ordinary clothes, and even beggars in tattered clothes, as if they would not refuse anyone.

"Master Morgan is unaware that the Coral Coast has now returned to calm, and the major colleges have reached an agreement on the issue of the ancient ruins."

"Is it over? So soon?"

Li Wei was a little surprised that the scramble for the ancient ruins on the entire Coral Coast ended so quickly. These official wizards were so rational that it was frightening.

"Now all major colleges are expanding their enrollment to supplement the source of students."

The wizard apprentice who led the team introduced the current situation of the Coral Coast to Li Wei. Everything seemed to have returned to the calm of the past, and prices were slowly falling.

The major forces died down, and each fell into silence, resting and recuperating.

Judging from the pattern of enrollment expansion, it is clear that the wizard apprentices in the Illusion Garden Academy have definitely suffered heavy losses, and it is very likely that the academy has reached the point where the academy cannot operate normally. All the colleges should be in the same boat.

The return route was smooth sailing, like a calm coral coast restored.

"Ahead is the Coral Coast."

Li Wei saw the land gradually rising on the horizon in front of him, and the frequency of ships around him also increased a lot.

"I should go too."

Li Wei had very little luggage on him, and he put all the valuables in the space ring.

All kinds of resources have been exhausted on Coffin Island, except for the necessary samples and magic stones, all others were abandoned by Levi.

He was about to approach the sea area where Aegean City was located, and Li Wei was ready to jump off the ship and escape.

The Morgan vest on his head could no longer be concealed. The chip detected that the wizard apprentice who greeted him had strange psychological fluctuations when he said "Master Morgan".

And he also mentioned many times that the patriarch of the Owen family wanted to see him.

If the Owen family was free, they would definitely check the identity of Mr. Morgan, who once made a big splash in Aegean City.

Although Li Wei bribed the person in charge of Wugou Valley Academy in Aegean City, once the official wizard asked, Li Wei didn't think that the old man would continue to abide by the verbal agreement between the two.

Li Wei still doesn't have the courage to face the official wizard, so he decides to run away first.

"Goodbye by fate!"

Taking advantage of the darkness, Li Wei sneaked into the sea and touched another passenger ship.

It is a nobleman's private cruise ship, and the route is to go to the port city adjacent to Aegean City, Bering City.

Bering City is also a coastal city, far less prosperous than Aegean City, and even more desolate than Coffin Island.

"Worse than expected."

Li Wei was a little emotional, Bering City was once the territory of the Johnson family.

The family that once competed with the Owen family for maritime supremacy did not expect to fall to this point, and disappeared after the family castle was burned down.

The buildings in Bering City are very scattered, and there are many collapsed houses.

There are many ragged beggars and even motionless corpses in the corner of the dark alley.

Looking at the luxurious castles and cruise ships that are in stark contrast to the tragic scenes in the city, the rumors that the lord of Bering City is fatuous and unreasonable seem to be true.

"It is so barren that there is no resident of the Silver Crystal Chamber of Commerce?"

Li Wei sighed softly, thinking whether to settle here.

"Let's stay overnight first."

Li Wei found a fairly clean hotel to stay in, and he still had things to do tonight.

Moon and night.

The ruins of the former castle of the Johnson family, Levi sneaked into the abandoned castle.

The medieval castle building with stone as the main body, after being burned by fire, the original frame is still there.

The chip scanned, and the model of the entire castle gradually took shape in the eyes.

Li Wei once bought the formula of the Emerald Potion at an auction, and bought half a semi-finished Emerald Potion from the Owen family at a high price.

After research, Li Wei became a little interested in the Johnson family. The refining method of the Jade Elixir was very unusual and inspired him a lot.

Although the Owen family must have raided the ruins of the Johnson family's castle thousands of times, Li Wei still has a chance to try his luck with the super detection ability of the chip.

Unfortunately, the chip did not respond to Li Wei's expectations, and all kinds of secret rooms were swept away early.
