Chapter 1147 The Green Dragon Vines Upgraded to Moon Ring Magic Plant

Locke didn’t expect the other party to be so straightforward. He didn’t care who was in charge between the two, and directly took out a pre-prepared contract, saying to them, “Then let’s sign the contract. Any ideas or requests can be added to the contract, using the one protected by the Eye of Truth.”

Wizard Fubang clapped and laughed, “That’s wonderful. Mr. Augustine is truly a straightforward person.”

“Let’s sign.”

Wizard Fubang took the contract from Locke’s hand. At the same time, the witch Gertrude Elion pressed her palm on the contract held by both of them, anxiously looking at Wizard Fubang, “Sign? Sign what? Do we have that much money? Where are we going to get a hundred million magic stones to pay? Wizard Locke Augustine is also short of money; he wants to get these magic stones as soon as possible.”

“If we can’t afford to default, where are we going to get such a large sum of working capital?”

Assets and working capital are two different concepts.

Wizard Fubang smiled and said, “This is the only exception. I can provide the 100 million magic stones. This is also to make friends with Wizard Locke.”

“In addition, I personally have high hopes for the Potions Shop Alliance established by Wizard Locke. It’s called Gungnir, right? It’s a name that’s easy to remember.”

Wizard Fubang looked at the name of the second party on the contract in his hand and knew what Locke’s Potions Shop Alliance was called.

Gertrude looked at Fubang in confusion. “You’re providing this money? You’re actually willing to make an additional investment. This is really not like you. The last time I’ve seen you spend money, well—it was probably when I first met you at an exchange meeting, when you—”

Wizard Fubang smiled and said, “Mainly because this project has a very high cost-performance ratio.”

He quickly signed the Green Jade Shop Alliance on it. “Therefore, I’m willing to invest more. If the Golden Elixir Sand sells well, perhaps not only will Wizard Locke and I receive our due returns, but your debts, Gertrude, will also be paid off, and it might even significantly reduce the pressure on your project.”

Gertrude nodded.

Seeing that Locke and Fujinger didn’t waste any time and directly signed the contract, she softened her tone and said, “I will arrange the three phases of experiments as soon as possible, at most two weeks, no, just one week.”

“These are matters for Green Crystal. Mr. Fujinger, you should first give the promised funds to Wizard Locke and Gungnir.”

Reluctantly, Wizard Fubang took out a checkbook from the pocket of his wizard’s robe, then used a magic quill from his astral ring to write the amount on it, followed by his personal magical stamp. He then tore a page from the checkbook. “Here you are, Wizard Locke. My boss is really impatient, afraid I’ll renege on your bill.

But I understand; the owner of Green Crystal clearly values the reputation of this shop alliance more than I, the investor, do.”

Locke took the check, glanced at it—it was from the Fairy Family Bank.

If he withdrew it, the Golden Elixir Sand could instantly bring him a net profit of one hundred million magic stones.

Wizard Fubang invited Locke, “Wizard Locke, your Potions Shop Alliance, Gungnir, has just been established and has already secured such a large deal. Would you be interested in having a meal at the Witch’s Kitchen? By the way, what are your hobbies? Flower watching? Bird watching?

Or do you enjoy watching the underground magical creature dueling tournament and participating in the betting on insects in the nearby Nexus?”

Locke nodded and said to the wealthy wizard, “Mr. Fubang, my research group currently has a lot of work to do, and I have two important matters to attend to recently, so I plan to return to work after completing the transaction.”

Wizard Fubang paused for a moment, glancing at the witch Gertrude and then at Locke. “In a sense, you two are both wizards who find pleasure in their work.”

“You’re already on the Moon Ring, shouldn’t you enjoy it a bit? You’ll miss out on a lot of fun in life.”

Gertrude the witch said to Locke, “Once the Golden Elixir Sand completes its third phase of experiments, we will label it as Locke’s creation, and also the first potion researched by Gungnir, only authorizing Green Crystal to endorse it.”

Locke exchanged a few more pleasantries with the two of them, then left with the wolf giant.

After Locke left, the witch Gertrude looked at the wizard Fubang and said, “There are hundreds of potion shops in the Cloud Marsh that want to make money from the intersection of the Venom World and the Wizarding World. While Golden Elixir Sand is excellent, perhaps I can use my skills to lower the price further. Why did you agree to someone else’s offer so readily?”

The wizard Fubang, sitting on the sofa, looked helplessly at Gertrude and said, “Originally, I wanted to use this to befriend him. Who knew this wizard, like you, is a workaholic whose only interest in life is work. I think you two

would have a lot in common. Don’t worry, I know a wizard named Aura, a member of the Resource Integration Management Committee. He owed me a favor some time ago, and now if I get him to repay it, I can get a lot of publicity resources.”

“Golden Elixir Sand is a good thing.”

“Plus the publicity resources from the Resource Integration Management Committee, we can make our money back in an instant. Your Green Jade will also become famous, so why not? I really can’t think of a reason to refuse, as for lowering the price.”

Wizard Fubang said to Witch Gertrude, “That person just now is like the two of us, someone who won’t compromise on his bottom line.”

“I won’t be wrong about this.”

“Some people can lower their prices, some can’t. If you want to lower your prices, it means you’re not prepared to have much contact with them. I suggest that if possible, your Green Jade should have more contact with Gungnir. After all, the only two well-known potion shops in Golden Crown Mountain are your two.”

Witch Gertrude raised her eyebrows. “Lowering the price involves a bottom line?”

“You two are really strange. Your bottom line is far too sensitive.”

Wizard Fubang sat on the sofa in the VIP room, his hands supporting his arms on the armrests, and laughed.

Locke returned to his laboratory in the Saffron Peach Garden. He then asked Gordon to submit the three articles he had compiled to *Yunze* magazine. Locke then had Celtic Wizard hand him all the experimental data from his recent research group. Locke quickly reviewed the data.

“Wood Wizard’s efficiency is good,”

Locke remarked. He circled certain phrases in several key experimental plans, essentially omitting crucial details for his group. The specific fusion of mycelium was indeed a viable direction for mushroom caps; this less important part could be left to Wood and the others.

He himself needed to address the more important issue: strengthening the mushroom magic plant and the permanent defensive force field shell.

Locke asked Celtic Wizard, “Where is Wood?”

Celtic Wizard pointed to the vast magic field behind them and the woods beside it.

“He’s sunbathing on the other side of the woods. Team leader, regarding Wood Wizard’s troublemaking outside, don’t you think we should deal with it? I mean, it wouldn’t be good if Wood Wizard used your name to offend some important figure.”

Locke nodded. “He hasn’t used my name to provoke us yet; let’s see what happens when he does. As for what he does outside, that’s beyond my control. I was once a wizarding genius at the Star Ring stage, and I know many other wizarding geniuses at that stage.”

Locke looked towards the woods. “I really can’t imagine what would happen if someone tried to manage us with force. Wood Wizard may seem reckless, but he’s actually brave and resourceful. Regarding his theft of other people’s sacred objects, I don’t think

we should listen to one side of the story. Most importantly, it’s his own business, and it has nothing to do with us. As long as it doesn’t affect the progress of my research group’s experiments, it’s fine.”

The Celtic wizard nodded, seemingly understanding.

On the other side of the woods, Wood Wizard, lying on the grassy slope, had a blade of grass in his mouth. His ears twitched, and after realizing Locke had left the magic field, he breathed a sigh of relief, then gave a wry smile.

“How do I know that sacred object has an owner?”

“What kind of Star Ring Magic Plant is left in the wilderness, growing naturally? It’s just a pity that I’ve already picked it and grafted my magic onto it.”

Five-Finger Grass crawled out from his sleeve.

Wood said to Five-Finger Grass, “Five-Finger Grass, do you want to leave me and return to the Aizara tribe? If so, nod; if not, shake your head.”

The Aizara Five-Finger Grass was clearly a soul-bound magical plant; at this moment, this herbaceous magical plant, resembling five fingers, swayed slightly in the wind, as if shaking its head.

Wizard Wood curled his lips. “Plants have spirits. The Aizara tribe kept their sacred object on a cliff, where it wasn’t even marked as their territory, and no one guarded it. Clearly, it’s mine.”

On the other side, Locke was strategizing how to use mushroom magical plants to enhance a permanent defensive field. The witch Catherine had chosen this project probably because the Cross-Armor Mushroom was a rare magical plant that could enhance a wizard’s permanent defensive field.

He still needed to think about the specific plan.

Locke arrived at the Fairy Family Bank in Dragonblood Market. Soon, the fairy elf approached and respectfully took the check from Locke. Upon seeing the payee’s name on the check, his pupils constricted sharply. He then looked up at Locke in surprise. Unlike last time, this time he didn’t waste any time asking Locke for financial advice; instead, he bowed respectfully.

This was definitely not just the respect of a low-ring wizard for a high-ring wizard;

it was a deeper form of submission.

Soon, the fairy manager, without further ado, turned and went into his office, instructing other fairies to serve him. He then came out, respectfully handing Locke an astral ring and looking at him with reverence.

“This is that lord’s check. To earn that lord’s money, you are truly amazing.”

“I truly admire you.”

Locke checked the check and found it contained one hundred million magic stones. He gave the fairy elf, who had expressed such boundless admiration for him, a strange look, and then turned and left.

After all, he and Fubang had only completed one transaction.

He had already provided them with the technology and formula for the Golden Elixir Sand, and with the Linglong Witch’s strength, it would be easy to replicate it. Therefore, his identity was irrelevant to him.

The world of the Moon Ring Wizards was indeed different from the Star Ring World.

Locke carefully recalled the people and events he had encountered since becoming a Moon Ring Wizard. It seemed that only the complexity had increased, but it was a completely different feeling.

“It’s a kind of certainty,” Locke mused. “It’s as if I’m enveloped and interacting with many constants.”

“I feel like I live in a world full of certainty.”

“But perhaps my description of this feeling is somewhat off.”

“After all, I’ve only just come into contact with this world, so my description might not be entirely accurate. If the Star Ring Wizards I encountered during the ‘False Forging’ stage were all unpredictable and elusive, their personalities all passionate, exuberant, and filled with immense curiosity and ideals about the world, even possessing a desire to control and influence it beyond their own capacity, then undoubtedly, the Moon Ring Wizards at this stage seem to possess a very different kind of certainty and appear rather ordinary, especially those who rely on their own ‘False Forging’ or those who rely on their ‘Rank’ forging.”

Locke picked up a stone from the ground.

Were the elements that made up the stone, the landforms formed by the stone, ordinary?

But even a stone that could change the world was still ‘False Forging.’

That’s probably the difference.

So, from his current perspective, ‘False Forging’ also has levels, and the differences between the levels seem to be enormous.

If most civilizations in the Endless Void can reach this stage, it can be said that they have achieved great success.

Locke walked through the streets of Dragonblood Gathering when he suddenly felt the green dragon vine within his astral ring growing uncontrollably. Locke’s expression changed slightly, because the green dragon vine, planted in the Happy Farm on a plot of land, was a soul-like magical plant. How could it suddenly be causing problems?

It was as if someone had magically grafted the green dragon vine onto it.

Locke had intended to rush to his office in the Saffron Peach Garden on Golden Crown Mountain, but it was too late. He randomly picked a Golden Peach Garden store, rushed inside, ignoring the staff who tried to stop him, and sprinted towards the third floor in the Moon Ring District. He found an empty quiet room and went inside.

The staff stood anxiously outside.

A Moon Ring wizard approached. “The person who just entered was Wizard Locke Augustine, one of the core members of the Red Dragon Clan. Don’t worry about it. They won’t blame you for this. On the contrary, you were docked pay or even fired because you didn’t serve this important figure well.” “

Locke Augustine seems to have run into some trouble. It’s truly a turbulent time.”

The Moon Ring Wizard, who had attended the Red Dragon Throne’s farewell banquet, shook his head. He was one of the members who chose to stay, so he was in charge of the Golden Peach Garden and had deeply felt the operational pressures that had suddenly appeared within the clan.

The magical plants that used to have relatively low costs now had significantly increased procurement costs.

Many things that could be maintained by the supply chain were now affected.

However, from another perspective, a business that was so easily affected was not very valuable to begin with.

Inside the quiet room of the Golden Peach Garden, Locke chanted a spell and arrived inside the Happy Farm Manor. He stood on the Happy Field where the Green Dragon Vine was planted. He saw that the Green Dragon Vine was growing rapidly, and his magic power was being transferred towards it.

The green dragon vines grew incredibly fast, quickly reaching towards the sky above this happy farm estate, like a ladder suspended between heaven and earth.

After observing for a while, Locke understood the situation.

“A power-sharing situation has occurred. The green dragon vines are just star-ring magical plants, but when I became a moon-ring wizard, I was able to transfer my magic power to the green dragon vines, causing them to appear as moon-ring magical plants.” Locke

waved his hand, and the wildly growing green dragon vines began to regain control, gradually shrinking and falling from the sky.

After understanding the situation, dealing with the out-of-control magic power became much easier.

He only needed to allocate some unnecessary moon-ring level magic pressure from his avatar to increase the magic pressure of the green dragon vines to the moon-ring level.

Although it was just an increase in magic pressure, such a magical plant was essentially an enhanced version of a special star-ring magical plant, because in addition to the magic pressure level, magical plants also had energy-locking structures, secretions of natural magical components, imaginary roots, and mystical meanings and spiritual energy.

However, the Green Dragon Vine is a special magical plant with unique mystical significance. As long as it possesses Moon Ring-level magical pressure, it wouldn’t be too bad even among Moon Ring magical plants; at least it’s viable.

Locke drank a bottle of second-ring magical potion to replenish his magical pressure. Looking at the Green Dragon Vine before him, he realized he currently had two Happiness Fields. This meant he could choose two magical plants to upgrade to Moon Ring magical plant magical pressure, and his Pagoda Broccoli could also become a Moon Ring magical plant.

Locke sensed the requests from the Pagoda Broccoli and the Great Ming Li Dragon Sparrow; his second Happiness Field was planted with the Great Ming Li Dragon Sparrow.

However, Locke quickly refused the requests to share magical power between these two plants.

His current magical pressure was insufficient.

Maintaining the magical pressure of his Dao Body clone, his main body, and the Green Dragon Vine was already the limit of his total magical pressure. Sharing mana with the other two Soul Magical Plants would cause serious problems for him.

This also included the half of the Shadow Assassin’s Divine Pearl he possessed.

Locke pondered for a moment. “I need to replenish my total magic pressure so I can share my mana with other magical plants. I didn’t expect the Soul Magical Plant to have such a special effect, sharing mana with me. This will solve the problem of some magical plants with special value not being able to keep up with my basic magic pressure.” “

The Happiness Field has such a wonderful use.”

Locke lowered his head to sense his spiritual energy.

“Hmm? My own spiritual energy has changed. My basic spiritual energy remains the same, but after I shared my mana with the Green Dragon Vine, the Green Dragon Vine also shared its spiritual energy with me. This resulted in me receiving an enhancement of the Green Dragon’s spiritual energy. However, the direction of the spiritual energy flow of a living organism is different from the direction of the life flow of a magical plant, so it cannot form a mystical meaning, and therefore cannot share the mystical meaning of the Green Dragon Vine [Infinite Growth] with me.” “

However, my life force has been greatly enhanced, and my own vitality and basic physique have been amplified. Can the Soul Magical Plant also enhance the basic physical qualities of a botanical wizard?”

Locke threw a punch forward, and the wind from the punch cut through the air, and a whistling sound seemed to come from the air.

“The improvement in my basic physique is almost equivalent to unlocking a Star Ring-level magical creature’s bloodline.”

“My mobility and physique have both improved. The Soul Magic Plant truly holds many mysteries. Research related to it is still incomplete. While many mechanisms have been explored, the most important source and the mechanism of soul locking with wizards remain unclear.”

Locke shut down Happy Farm, then transformed into the Lord of Heavenly Origin, opening a passage to the Sea King World.

He stood above the Sea King World. After the previous series of battles, the Sea King World was now shattered, its heavens and earth incomplete, and the original sea of clouds nearly gone, leaving only barren land, a few plants, and some surviving humans.

These humans seemed to have regressed to the Stone Age, retaining only some simple and rudimentary martial arts and remnants of advanced civilizations from the previous era.

Locke had no intention of erasing the traces of the newly established place; it wouldn’t make much sense.

He arrived beside a primitive tribe. The tribe possessed an eerie balance; each member was incredibly strong, practicing remnants of a previous era’s Qi cultivation methods, wielding spears, and covered in wild animal fur. They lived by hunting, possessing a beauty that blurred the lines between advanced and primitive. At this moment, the tribe was worshipping a straw doll resembling the God of the Land of the Sea. Beside the straw doll, there was another straw doll representing the Heavenly Lord.

The humans, hand in hand, danced and sang around a fire and the two straw dolls, celebrating their successful hunt and praying for favorable weather and divine protection.

Locke walked past a child sitting on the ground, weaving a small straw doll in the likeness of the Heavenly Lord. He stood with his hands behind his back, using his powerful magical pressure to isolate himself from the dimensional barrier, preventing these mortals from seeing him.

“I didn’t interfere. The God of the Land of the Sea is indeed trying to revive.”

“Among these humans, there are special individuals who unconsciously connect with the ancestral gods of the Sea King’s world. “

“I am not the only ancestral god of the Neptune world. There are also Shanchuanke and Gangdingdi. As the previous ancestral god, Gangdingdi left a significant mark on the dimensional laws of the Neptune world, making it easy for humans to mistakenly contact the wrong place. Is Gangdingdi trying to gather its scattered divine matter through these unconscious rituals performed by mortals?” “

Although I don’t care much, I do need these divine substances to enhance my magical pressure right now.”

Locke reached out towards the center of the campfire. The flames surged, and as they rose, a fragment of divine matter hidden within fell into the Shadow Assassin’s Divine Orb in Locke’s hand.

Immediately afterward, Locke waved his hand, and a life magic enveloped the area, instantly turning it lush and vibrant with life.

Then, he quickly moved on to another location.

Because Gangdingdi attempted to resurrect itself using mortals, its divine matter fragments were highly dispersed throughout these human settlements. This made it easy for Locke to collect his divine matter quickly.

A day later in the Sea King world, Locke stood in mid-air, looking at his Shadow Assassin Divine Orb.

He placed the orb back into his body, and his magical pressure reached the peak of the Star Ring limit.

Absorbing a large amount of divine matter, the Shadow Assassin Divine Orb, combined with his original magical pressure, allowed him to reach the peak of the Star Ring. Of course, it wasn’t completely filled yet; the Shadow Assassin Divine Orb likely only contained 28,000 magical pressure. Gangdingdi

‘s total divine matter back then was at the Sun Ring level, but due to his and Shanchuanke’s existence, it

could only exert Star Ring-level and Moon Ring-level strength.

“There should still be remnants of divine matter from the newly settled land in the wilderness of the Sea King’s world.”

At this moment, it was already night in the Sea King’s world. The earth was plunged into darkness, with only the campfires in the human settlements scattered across the land like starlight. Mortals looked up and saw the starry sky, but Locke, standing in the sky, looked down and saw a different kind of starry night on the earth, a spectacle composed of firelight and the dark earth.

“The Persepolis gods are indeed strange. After I shattered the divine matter of Gangdingdi in this world, it turned into raindrops, scattering on the bodies of all living beings and the surface of the earth. Surprisingly, it seems to be increasing over time. Although I collected most of it this time, it might recover in the future.” “

Moreover, some fragments of divine matter are hidden in people’s hearts. As long as martial arts endure, they are difficult to kill. Fortunately, Gangdingdi is a newly born god race, having only lived in the Sea King’s world. If he had gone to another world, it would have been even more difficult to destroy him. However, it’s good that the divine matter will automatically increase; I can use it to collect as fuel for my divine pearl.”

Although it seems that after he collected the easily accessible fragments of divine matter, what remained on the earth were fragments of divine matter that were more difficult to collect. Moreover, Locke suspected that as he intentionally collected these fragments, they might intentionally or unintentionally begin to hide themselves, increasing the difficulty of his collection.

In other words, as the number he collected increased, the difficulty of his collection would also increase dramatically.

Locke chanted the incantation and re-entered Happy Farm. He then actively responded to the call of the Great Ming Dragon Sparrow, and sure enough, the Great Ming Dragon Sparrow’s magic pressure gradually increased to the Moon Ring level. However, his own native magic pressure also decreased from the Star Ring limit to just over 20,000.

“It worked. But in that case, I’ll need to find more treasures to increase my total magic pressure soon.”

His Dao Body clone and the three Soul Magic Plants were like newly added reservoirs. The Dao Body clone was the largest reservoir, with an upper limit of the Moon Ring level, while the three Soul Magic Plants could share their magic power up to the Moon Ring level, but this would also require adding their original magic pressure.

As a result, he would desperately need to obtain more magic pressure.

Locke left Happy Farm, then left the Golden Peach Garden, nodding to the person in charge of the Golden Peach Garden to express his apology.

The person in charge of Golden Peach Garden, who was also the Moon Ring Wizard, glanced at Locke with surprise. He noticed that Locke’s magical pressure had dropped significantly. He returned Locke’s greeting, while secretly wondering why this wizard, who had retained 25,000 magical pressure when he entered the shop alliance, now only had a little over 20,000, even teetering on the brink of falling out of the Star Ring.

After Locke left, the Moon Ring Wizard muttered to himself, “Could it be a trap set by the Rose School?

Sigh, these days everyone has a hard time.”

“The total economic output of Cloudze Wetland is still growing, but why is business getting harder and harder?”

“It’s probably the impact of the School War.”

A week later, Locke was walking in the research and development workshop of the large shop alliance [Cloud Robe House] near Boniface University in Cloudze Wetland. His Augustus had cooperated with the New Textile School, so he came in the name of the Augustus Shop Alliance to inspect the wizard robe production base of the New Textile School at Boniface University.

The New Textile School was equally straightforward. Although they could tell that Locke’s real purpose was to see the production and research lines for Yunze Wetland’s top-tier wizard robes, they didn’t care at all. On the contrary, they maintained a welcoming attitude, sending a Moon Ring Wizard from the Cloud Robe House to introduce Locke.

This Moon Ring Wizard, Winnie Fred, smiled and led Locke into Workshop 3.

“Please come in. Mr. Augustine, because Workshops 1 and 2 are occupied with research and development, I can only take you to Workshop 3. The Cloud Robe House has a large research and development base and is one of the top shop alliances in Yunze Wetland. They even have enough positions to provide forged robes and sun rings. I became a Moon Ring Wizard because of my position as the chief designer at the Cloud Robe House.”

“There are 91 workshops here, each a large production and R&D center. Contrary to our intuition, the market for wizard robes—is actually a high-tech, capital-intensive sector.”

Locke followed her into the workshop, where a massive iron hammer, the size of a small mountain, hung suspended in mid-air. Lava flowed down from the top of the workshop, pouring onto the enormous hammer. Then, the hammer was pulled back by a mechanism, rising to a certain limit before striking the anvil suspended in mid-air with a magical pressure of the star ring level. In an instant, magical sparks flew, and bolts of magical lightning crisscrossed everywhere. All the wizards in Workshop 3 wore specially made wizard robes and masks to shield themselves from the magical pressure radiated from this large [Thor’s Hammer Collider].

Locke looked up at a star ring level wizard robe between Thor’s Hammer and the anvil.

Winnie the Witch said to Locke, “The Star Ring Level Magic Pressure Standard Impact Test. This is a magic pressure impact test that most wizard robes must undergo. According to the standard, they must pass 100 magic pressure impact tests of the same level before they can be considered to be of acceptable design and manufacturing quality. Our market will randomly inspect a batch of wizard robes we produce to prevent anyone from cutting corners or making serious design errors. Some design errors are not discovered in the early stages of design and will only become apparent after hundreds of magic pressure impact tests of the same level.” “

If you want to reach the pinnacle of wizard robes, then Thor’s Hammer is essential.”

Winnie the Witch smiled and said, “Thunder’s Hammer, through fine-tuning, can have tens of thousands of attack angles, simulating most magical impacts. This is the difficulty and essence of developing Thunder’s Hammer. If it were just a hundred unchanging magical pressure impacts, then there would be no need for such a large magical artifact. Only by being able to protect wizards amidst constantly changing attack patterns and a hundred identical attack patterns can a wizard’s robe be considered qualified.” “

Although after this test, the wizard’s robe is basically unusable, this is expected wear and tear.”

Locke raised an eyebrow. “I see. It seems that the field of wizard shoes doesn’t have such a rigorous testing method.”

Winnie the Witch said, “Actually, it does. But it’s certainly not as rigorous as the wizard robe test, because the technical content and required technical direction of wizard robes and wizard shoes are completely different. Wizard Locke, wizard robes are one of the core areas of the textile school.”

“The wizards of the textile school in this field have long been involved in continuous competition and tens of thousands of years of development, making it extremely complex.”

“From the design of the wizard’s robe, the selection and development of the fabric, to the weaving, textile methods, and

testing methods, everything is governed by established rules, making it a crystallization of magical light industry. The textile industry is one of the ancestors of magical industry, and the wizard’s robe is the crown jewel of the textile industry. It has developed to the point of being incredibly complex. There are currently 3,003 types of testing devices on record, not counting the various small devices that textile wizards have made in their laboratories.”

At this moment, Thor’s hammer stopped hammering and instead summoned flames, ice, and lightning, continuously striking the wizard’s robe on the anvil in mid-air. Then, pulled by the complex mechanism, Thor’s hammer rose backward again and then suddenly hammered at the wizard’s robe. However, this time, when Thor’s hammer touched the wizard’s robe, it suddenly stopped hammering and began to rotate. The hammerhead of Thor’s hammer rotated around a part of the fabric of the wizard’s robe, testing whether the wizard’s robe would be frayed or snagged by magical lightning.

Soon, a bolt of lightning flashed across the wizard’s robe, leaving it with snagging threads.

A second-ring witch, holding a notebook, noted the snagging.

Winnie the Witch said, “This is a defective product; its rating will be downgraded. But as long as the robe still meets defensive requirements, it can still be sold. If this robe, currently under testing, is damaged, then it’s considered scrap. This robe is currently downgraded to B-grade, and with further testing, it will likely drop to C-grade.” “

Warlock robes of the same magical level are graded based on their test performance and magical pressure, from the highest S-grade to the lowest C-grade, and then to the scrap D-grade. I think only the poorest wizards in the world would buy D-grade products.”

Locke asked, “Are D-grade products sold to other worlds?”

Winnie the Witch nodded slightly. “Mr. Augustine, you are very clever, as expected of a Moon Ring Wizard who can forge robes on his own. To reduce costs, we do sell D-grade and scrap materials, which are generally looked down upon in our home world, to other

worlds . So they are all the same product, but as long as the grade is different, the quality of the wizard robes that can be purchased will vary greatly, sometimes so much so that they are like two different products.”

“Many wizards in other worlds mistakenly believe that this is the true level of that wizard robe, but in reality, they have never used truly good things. However, D-grade and C-grade products are cheaper, which is in line with their purchasing power.”

Locke saw that in this Workshop No. 3, there were many pieces of equipment, which could be basically divided into three areas: a textile fabric area, a garment production area, and a testing area.

In addition to Thor’s Hammer, there were hundreds of testing magical artifacts for various purposes, which were extremely complex.

The textile fabric area and the garment production area also had hundreds of pieces of equipment, and at the same time, many second-ring wizards used great magic to summon various magical constructs to create textile machines, experimenting with new fabrics or creating new wizard robe designs.

Winnie the Witch said to Locke, “Due to guild rules, historical inertia, and the orders of their school’s high-ring wizards, the magic weavers are extremely averse to using non-testing machinery in their factories. They want to use first-ring and second-ring wizards for everything from design and fabric weaving to the making of wizard robes. Therefore, labor is extremely expensive, prices are extremely high, and production is extremely limited.”

“They’re increasingly falling behind the times.”

“Yunze Wetlands used to be the textile capital of the Eastern Boundary, holding a monopolistic position. However, now, the number of wizard robes produced from Yunze Wetlands is less than 10% of the Eastern Boundary.” “

And that percentage is still declining.”

“However, this situation is changing. The new textile school pays more attention to the design of wizard robes, especially the texture and weaving techniques of the fabric.”

“Therefore, we don’t have such a heavy burden. The workshop uses a large number of production equipment, and many repetitive tasks have been replaced by magical equipment. Our high-ring wizards have even designed equipment that partially replaces the Great Magic Weaving Machine. As long as a textile wizard designs the fabric, this machine can replace some of the wizards’ operations.” “

Although the truly advanced parts still require second-ring wizards with Great Magic, the production of low-end wizard robes can be assisted by equipment.”

Witch Winnie pointed to an incredibly complex magical weaving machine. The machine was running continuously, the threads intersecting, and high-quality magical fabric was being produced little by little. It seemed to be cotton and linen extracted from high-grade magical plants, woven into a magical fabric with excellent defensive properties according to a specific weaving method.

Winnie the Witch said, “Thanks to these reforms, we are revitalizing the wizard robe export industry in Cloudswamp Wetlands. We’ve also received many orders for low-end wizard robes from the Endless Void. Our low-end wizard robe business has even severely impacted the old textile school of wizards and lowered the price of wizard robes, making them more affordable for wizards and people from other worlds. Wizard Locke, I heard you’re working on the project the Red Dragon Throne gave you—you’re going to make pure magic plant wizard robes?”

“You’re going to revolutionize us,”

Locke nodded frankly. “You even dared to let me observe your entire production process, to let me understand the inner workings of this industry,”

Winnie the Witch said with a gentle smile. “Our teacher said that if your products are truly excellent, so what if they compete with us? We ourselves are competing with the magic weavers from the Rose Council. She even hopes that your pure magic plant wizard robes can become a reality, not just a planned idea. Our teacher only wants to weave truly excellent wizard robes.”

“Other people’s affairs are none of her concern.”

“She will only be happy if more excellent wizards enter this field. If you have any questions, you can ask me. The magic of the new textile science can withstand the test; let’s see who revolutionizes whom in the future.” “

Moreover, I personally admire moon ring wizards like you who can achieve pseudo-forging on your own. I only achieved second-ring wizardhood through my own efforts; my pseudo-forging was given to me by my lineage, and my pseudo-forging was given to me by the Cloud Garment House. Mr. Locke, don’t be surprised; not all wizards are like you.”

Winnie the Witch whispered to Locke, “You are already a very excellent wizard.”
