Chapter 267 Harunvila’s Power

At the banquet, there was even a first-ring wizard who was still in the southeast corner but taught in another wizard academy and was very interested in several projects in Locke’s hands.

Christine, a first-ring wizard currently serving as the [Lecturer Mage] in the Four Seasons Garden, a witch whose skin has turned green, took the initiative to walk in front of Locke and used her eyes to ask the first-class wizard apprentices surrounding Locke to temporarily step back.

Christine nodded to Locke and said, “Junior, our Four Seasons Garden has recently been involved in a wizard war with a dark wizard organization, the Bone Cult. I am very interested in several of the projects you have.”

“However, what I’m most interested in is the Crystal Palm Fire Lotus. I want to buy 2,000 Crystal Palm Fire Lotuses from you first. If that’s possible, we can sign the contract now.”

“Let’s sign an off-campus order for 10,000 magic stones first. If you use it well, I will place more orders with you on behalf of Four Seasons Garden.”

Christine is different from those first-ring wizards. She actually came here in her real body.

Locke had discovered before that Christine was different from other first-ring wizards. Most of the first-ring wizards were rather cold towards her.

It was probably because Christine, even though she was a first-ring wizard in the wizard Harlan Vera’s network, was probably just an unknown student in the past.

Her magic power should be considered relatively low among first-ring wizards.

Therefore, Christine’s attitude towards herself was different from those first-ring wizards who were relatively serious. Her attitude towards herself was much more equal.

She is also the only first-level wizard who has taken the initiative to ask Locke to place an order to purchase magic plants.

The other first-ring wizards were either far away from the southeast corner or still watching.

Locke said to Christine, “Okay, Senior Sister Christine, let’s sign the order. But it will take some time for me to restart the magic field of the Crystal Palm Fire Lotus. I have to wait at least three months. Senior Sister, is that okay?”

Christine curled her lips and smiled, “Of course, we are all breeders, I know the rules.”

“I’ve seen the battle record of the Crystal Palm Fire Lotus in your hand. The [Lava Duct] phenomenon in it can significantly increase the power of the Crystal Palm Fire Lotus when used in large quantities, forming a synergistic effect.”

“Plus, spells like scorched earth bombs are universal plant spells, and most of the wizards in our Four Seasons Garden can use them.”

“Now, I’m looking forward to seeing how this magical plant of yours performs in the wizard war against the Bone Cult.”

The other first-ring wizards were also paying close attention. Some of them also had needs, but Locke was only a first-class wizard apprentice after all, so they were still observing and considering.

Since Christine took the initiative to be the first to try it, they can decide whether to place an order with Locke by observing Christine’s purchasing results.

Besides, Locke’s current productivity is obviously limited, and the team has not yet been formed. Even if they place an order, they will have to wait for a year or two, so no one is in a hurry.

This was the first student gathering in thirty years, and everyone gained a lot.

Locke was the biggest beneficiary of this party. By attending the party, he got orders and a source of manpower.

Locke thought of something and asked Harlan Vera tentatively, “Teacher Harlan, I want to apply for a medium-sized botanical garden.”

“I applied a few times before, but it was always stuck in the process and there was no progress at all.”

Harlan Vera glanced at Locke in surprise. “Locke, you don’t have a medium-sized botanical garden yet?”

Wizard Anthony took a sip of wizard wine and laughed, “What? Teacher, Lilith’s Hut has been around for so many years, why is it still so chaotic in resource allocation? Even a talented breeder like Junior Locke hasn’t even had a medium-sized botanical garden of his own after all this time.”

A flicker of discontent flashed across Harlan Vera’s face, directed at Senior Advisor Francis. “You all know Francis. He’s always been so stingy and stupid.”

“Locke…” Harlan Vera drummed his fingers on the table. “Don’t worry, I’ll have the academy’s management approve a medium-sized botanical garden for you right away.”

“Don’t worry, I’m behind you.”

Locke hesitated for a moment and said to Harlan Vera, “Teacher Harlan, I heard that the son of a formal wizard in the academy is also going to apply for a medium-sized botanical garden in the near future. And for a medium-sized botanical garden, a wizard academy can only apply to the White Wizard Association once in three years.”

“If I were to apply now, I would have to join the team of the official wizard’s son.”

Harlan Vera raised his eyebrows. “Oh, Locke, you mean the useless son of Wizard Cohen Chamberlain who just joined Lilith’s cabin.”

At the banquet, some First Ring wizards showed signs of understanding. Anthony, a full-fledged wizard, even chuckled softly. “Don’t get me wrong, junior, I’m not laughing at you. I’m laughing at that ridiculous full-fledged wizard’s son…”

“A mere son of a formal wizard…”

“Locke, look at how many official wizards are there at this banquet! The son of a mere official wizard wants to snatch resources from you? Hahahaha… This is really ridiculous.”

The illusion of Wizard Anthony came over, patted Locke on the shoulder, and said, “Don’t worry, Locke. As long as Teacher Harlan Vera makes the decision for you, no one in Lilith’s Hut can take away your resources.”

Harlan Vera nodded affirmatively. “A week, maybe. I’ll have your application approved for a medium-sized botanical garden within a week.”

“As for that good-for-nothing son of Cohen Chamberlain,” Harlan Vera’s eyes flashed with indifference and contempt. “No one cares about him.”

“I don’t even care how Cohen Chamberlain feels.”

“I originally felt that Lilith’s Hut didn’t need to recruit wizards specializing in beast taming magic from the School of Summoning. Building a magic discipline from scratch would be a waste of academy resources. But Francis is too greedy. He wants everything, and he’s lost the focus of development.”

“If Cohen Chamberlain doesn’t know what’s good for him, he can just leave Lilith Cottage.”

The eyes of the First Ring wizards present all showed affirmation. It was obvious that what Harlan Vera said was a fact that he could do it.

Locke felt the great benefits of being a star student of the academic tycoon.

Within this network of academic cliques, a super genius could easily draw upon a large amount of power. Even the son of a first-ring wizard from outside the sect would be unable to resist this power.

Locke took a look and unexpectedly, Angron seemed to be on the invitation list of this banquet, but Angron had been hiding in the corner of the banquet and did not show up, so he had not seen him before.

At this moment, Angron looked at him with eyes filled with fear, uneasiness, panic, and lack of confidence in himself.

After Angron and Locke exchanged glances, he himself fell into a state of great anxiety, so much so that he clenched his glass. “He actually became my student, and a fellow disciple!”

“The teacher held a banquet for him that was so grand that even I had never experienced it before.”

“Does the teacher really value him so much?”

‘He can still chat and laugh with so many official wizards, and once he joined, he became the center of attention here. So, is there any room for me in the future? I should be the focus of all this.’

Angron tried to strike up a conversation with Harun Vera, but Harun Vera, who had always taken him very seriously, had no time to talk to him at this moment and his attitude towards him became much more casual.

This made Angron’s sense of crisis even more severe.

Angron glanced at Carrie Ackerman, who was looking at Locke with admiration beside him, and felt as if struck by lightning. At that moment, he felt that he had been seriously betrayed.

‘This is betrayal. I should be the center of your attention, not that stupid and ridiculous Locke Augustine. Is he really better than me? No, I want to be number one, I want to be number one, I want Teacher Harlan Vera to look at me with appreciation and satisfaction as he did before.’

Angron was furious. “I cannot give in. If only Locke Augustine could disappear, but I certainly can’t defeat him…”

‘He’s better at fighting than a dark wizard, and now his magic power is not much worse than mine!’

Angron originally had the intention to kill, but at this moment he remembered the reputation that Locke had earned as the Eye Demon. All the extreme thoughts in his mind immediately disappeared. Now he could only think about fighting fairly with Locke.

“I want to surpass him in terms of results! I don’t believe I’m not as good as him.”
