Chapter 250 Farewell to Witch Sophia

After Locke and others returned to Lilith’s cottage, Witch Sophia first went to entertain Princess Alia and her people.

At the same time, Consultant Francis was also dispatched from Lilith’s Cottage, and the academy’s top management seemed to want to win over the intelligent magical creatures that had been in a neutral state.

Senior Advisor Francis offered to treat the harpies free of charge.

However, the personalities of the harpies are somewhat different from those of human wizards after all. Princess Alia seemed to accept it, but did not seem to appreciate it too much.

After thanking everyone and Lady Morgana, and distributing the spoils, Sophia took Locke back to her residence.

In Sophia’s office, Sophia handed Locke a bottle of emerald green potion and said, “You have many residual curses on your body, and even two blood curses. It’s just that your magic power and physical condition are relatively strong now.”

“That’s why it didn’t explode for a while.”

“Drink this emerald green potion. It can also adjust the mana in your body and make your mana of higher quality.”

Locke knew that Witch Sophia was talking about the blood curse of fear and the blood curse of thirst. He did not refuse. Otherwise, it would probably take at least five years for him to completely get rid of the blood curse remaining on his body by himself.

This is how fighting is. As long as you fight with others, there will be losses.

Especially, this time he was involved in a formal wizard-level battle, which greatly broadened his horizons. At the same time, many curses and hidden dangers remained on his body.

Locke opened the emerald green potion and drank it in one gulp. The emerald-like potion entered his body. Its medicinal effect was very mild, constantly eliminating the hidden dangers in his body, even those hidden dangers left before he went to the Blood Curse Court.

This is a first-level potion.

Witch Sophia held up a ticket in her hand and said, “This is a ticket for the wizard airship to the Star Sea. Do you know how much a ticket costs?”

Locke shook his head slightly.

Witch Sophia sat on the stool and stretched, as if she had finally relaxed. “Locke, this ticket is worth 100,000 magic stones.”

Locke was stunned, because to learn advanced meditation, one only needed to borrow 50,000 magic stones, but a boat ticket like this required 100,000 magic stones.

A set of Wall of the Faithless only costs 100,000 magic stones.

Witch Sophia smiled and said, “I used the money I saved by selling several unique formulas and magical plant breeding methods I had to buy this ticket.”

“Going to the Star Territory Sea requires crossing many natural dangers, so a round trip requires a huge expenditure of resources. For some reason, the price of returning from the Star Territory Sea is several times higher than this. This price is for a special ticket that I waited a long time for, and it’s only a fraction of the normal price.”

“Now, you know how terrifying the Star Domain Sea is.”

“Many formal wizards in the Star Territory Sea have fallen into a miserable situation where they can’t find a job, can’t make a living, and have no money to buy a boat ticket back home.”

“The Star Region Sea is a big place. Big places have their advantages, but also their disadvantages.”

“If you plan to come in the future, you can let me know in advance. If I have some foundation there by then, I might be able to help you.”

Witch Sophia handed Locke an emerald green ring, which seemed to be a special magical plant. A four-leaf clover was connected end to end to form a unique leaf ring.

“This is a lucky four-leaf clover ring. Only official wizards can use it. Keep it well hidden and don’t show it, because it’s a first-ring level magic plant.”

Locke took the ring with both hands and said, “Teacher, this is so precious.”

Witch Sophia laughed and said, “Then return it to me?”

Locke raised his eyebrows and put it into his astral ring. He changed the subject and asked, “Teacher, what is the function of this ring?”

Witch Sophia nodded and said, “The lucky four-leaf clover ring must be injected with the magic power of a formal wizard in order to activate the spells I have arranged in advance.”

“The Lucky Four-Leaf Clover, a high-level magical plant, can store three first-level spells and cast them instantly during battle.”

“In other words, I have deposited three first-level magic [Niche Communication Spells] in it.”

“In other words, you can use this magic that has located my spiritual characteristics and, utilizing ecological principles, contact me three times. I can also reply to you three times.”

“Even though I’m in the Star Region Sea,” Sophia explained, “the distance between the Star Region Sea and the Southeast Corner Region is much greater than the distance between the mortal world you were in before and the Southeast Corner Region.”

“There are countless natural dangers in between, so apart from using this method, there is basically no other way for individual wizards to communicate.”

Witch Sophia said, “Of course, when you use the first-level magic hidden within, you can deposit one of your own plant magic within it. In battle, the extra instantaneous spell will be very useful.”

“But the prerequisite for using it is that you are a formal wizard.”

Witch Sophia handed Locke a stack of magic books. “This is the training plan and knowledge summary I’ve prepared for you in breeding and potion science.”

“It’s up to you.”

“After I leave, the academy should choose a new wizard mentor for you.” Witch Sophia said, “I hope you don’t choose Madam Morgana.”

Seeing Locke’s strange look, Witch Sophia shook her head slightly. “Madam Morgana’s personality is different from yours and mine. If you become her student, she will only train you to be another version of herself.”

“Going there will only add to your suffering. Besides, you already have a set direction. Your mana is already 600, right…” Witch Sophia nodded and said, “Very good. It’s been less than a year.”

“You will most likely reach 800 mana within three years. No, you have a large amount of magical resources at your disposal. After this, your magical plant will be the focus of the academy’s procurement. With the blessing of these magical resources, you should soon be close to the level of a formal wizard.”

“So, you must not choose Lady Morgana. She will only restrict you. I suggest you choose Harlan Vera. With your current status, you have the right to make this choice.”

“Genius always has privileges.”

Witch Sophia understands Locke’s current condition better than anyone else. In the eyes of others, Locke is just a newly promoted first-class wizard apprentice.

Because as long as a first-class wizard apprentice becomes a formal wizard before the age of forty, it can be said that he has good qualifications.

And Locke is only over eighteen years old.

In the eyes of a super genius who advances rapidly like Sophia the Witch, even if one was promoted to a first-class wizard apprentice just a year ago, it is not impossible to become a formal wizard in a year.

Witch Sophia said, “Although Harlan Vera has many shortcomings, he has one great advantage for you. He is most willing to support geniuses and respects the different personalities of every genius.”

“But I want to remind you, no matter what, never forget to respect power.”

“Only by respecting magic can you master it, rather than being controlled by it.”

Sophia the Witch’s eyes were filled with complex emotions. “Locke, you will have the privileges that a true super genius possesses with Harlan Vera, privileges you won’t have with me.”

“You will gain many, many things, and that will be your true test. Don’t forget your original intention. This is my final advice to you.”

“This is also a sentence that Lady Morgana gave me. Even at my current situation, I always keep it in mind.”

Locke saluted Witch Sophia. “Teacher…”

Witch Sophia rubbed her brows and smiled, “Okay, now is the time to be happy, everyone should be happy.”

“Locke, you will see me off alone tomorrow. I will leave Lilith’s cabin at noon tomorrow.”

Locke nodded, “Of course, teacher. Then I will go and prepare a special farewell banquet for you.”

Witch Sophia nodded with a complicated look in her eyes. After Locke left, she sighed and placed a farewell letter on the desk.

“It’ll be easier this way.”

…

The next morning, Locke walked into Sophia’s empty office with a wry smile on his face.

“I should have guessed it earlier.” Locke looked at the farewell letter on the empty desk and sighed, “Teacher Sophia tricked me once.”

Locke waved his hand and immediately summoned the tomb spirit to read the information about what happened in this room. After reading the Modo language, he said, “Teacher, he should have left last night.”

“It seems she didn’t want to go through the whole process of saying goodbye, so she deliberately lied to me and said she would leave at noon today.”

“Now that I think about it, the actual date of her ticket should have been midnight yesterday.”

Locke looked at the empty office and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. “Official wizard… Star Domain Sea…”

“Teacher, you are so sure that I will become a formal wizard. Thank you.”

“I will definitely go to the Star Sea!”

Locke ordered his servants to clean the empty houses. At the same time, he returned to his own residence. His first priority was to immediately digest the resources looted from the dark wizards.

To avoid unnecessary trouble.

It would be better to exchange those resources for your actual mana as soon as possible.
