Chapter 320

Chapter 318: Suspension of War and Calculation of Merits

It is not known what kind of deal the two second-ring wizards finally reached, but in any case, after some discussions between the two second-ring wizards in the sky, it was Justin, the second-ring wizard from the White Wizard Association, who ordered the first-ring wizards of the association to watch the black wizards retreat, and asked Dean Thompson to lift the seal of the Giant Tree Spear on the Holy Flesh Punishment.

Dean Thompson breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the war was over. The current situation was a big victory for the White Wizard Association. Although it was not a complete victory, the significance of the victory was already very great.

As long as nothing happens to the second-ring wizards of the Dark Wizard Alliance, then their White Wizard Association basically has no chance of completely destroying the Dark Wizard Alliance.

The current results have made the association very satisfied.

What follows is a protracted war. The White Wizard Association has already established a complete wartime economy. Even if Justin himself wants to stop the war in this society, he will have to pay a huge price.

Once the war machine starts moving, huge profits will be made. Once this economic system is established, the white wizard society, which was originally very afraid of war, will become more warlike than any other society.

Not to mention, the Dark Wizard Alliance in the southeast corner claims to have discovered a medium-sized world that has never been discovered before. This will make the White Wizard society, which has already switched to a wartime economic system, even more crazy.

Locke could almost foresee that in the next long period of time, those industrial chains that were highly related to war in the white wizard society in the southeast corner would generate huge profits.

And those industrial chains that are less related to the war, such as seasoning makers, are likely to decline temporarily for fifty years. Seasoning makers may even be forced to leave the southeast corner and go to other wizarding lands to seek survival.

As the war progresses, there will inevitably be a shortage of supplies.

At that time, there would no longer be so many wizards who would use real money and magic stones to buy delicacies made by seasoning chefs who only wanted to satisfy their appetites.

At the same time, medium and large wizard organizations like the Atlas Color Institute are likely to shift the focus of their magic paintings from being artistic enjoyment to being magic maps that are useful for war.

The biggest impact on Locke is that his Augustus series of magical plants will likely achieve greater sales in the southeast corner.

Of course, after witnessing the first-ring level war, the strange ritual magic of the crystallized wizard, and the sudden intervention of the second-ring wizard, Locke understood that if he wanted to gain more benefits in the southeast corner, he would need to develop a first-ring combat-type magic plant.

But he would soon be leaving the southeast corner.

Locke frowned. His best choice was to continue cooperating with certain people and open a joint-stock wizard shop in the southeast corner.

Locke thought of Harun Vera and Mrs. Irina in his mind. Mrs. Irina was one of Harun Vera’s oldest students.

Perhaps he could get in touch with Madam Irina through Teacher Harun Vera and discuss this matter with her.

It is impossible for him to stay in the southeast corner, because this wizard land is very suitable for wizard apprentices, but for first-ring wizards, the resources are a bit limited.

In the past, a large number of first-ring wizards stayed here for retirement, but now even this last advantage is gone. In the next fifty years, this place will become a battlefield.

I’m afraid that a large number of ordinary first-ring wizards will leave here and go to other wizarding lands.

At this time, the battle situation outside had turned into the stage of collecting spoils and cleaning up the battlefield.

Dean Thompson found the star ring of the infant witch [Brittany] and her sister’s star ring on the ground and gave them to Locke.

Dean Thompson seemed to be in a good mood. “Locke, one of these rings is your trophy, and the other one is a gift from me to you.”

Locke didn’t refuse, but accepted the two one-ring dark wizard astral rings. He had many future needs for money, and currently only had 50,000 magic stones in his bank account, which was far from enough.

It wasn’t even enough to buy a boat ticket, or to find someone to open a joint-stock wizard shop in the southeast corner, let alone to buy a druid ring for himself.

Locke took a quick look and found that the specifications of the two star rings, the rings of the two dark wizards, were different from the two most basic star rings in his hands. The star area connected by his two star rings was only as big as a room, but these two star rings were as big as a basketball court each.

There are a large number of collections, most of which are items related to ghost magic.

Locke even saw a lot of strange human products in the Brittany witch’s ring. He suppressed his nausea and decided not to waste them. He would pack them up and sell them on the black market to interested wizards in a few days.

Make a lot of money from them.

To wizards specializing in botany, these things are all garbage, or even simply disgusting things, but to dark wizards specializing in certain disciplines, they are like rare treasures.

Anyway, it’s like a turtle and a mung bean, they are attracted to each other.

Locke looked at Dean Thompson strangely. “Dean, you seem to be in a good mood.”

Dean Thompson smiled and said, “Of course. In the end, Lord Justin and the second-ring black wizard reached a good agreement.”

“There’s a part of the treaty that’s very beneficial to our academy. We’ll give up hunting down the remaining members of their group. In exchange, they’ll have to purchase a large amount of goods from us as the price for their defeat.”

“The contract is guaranteed by the Aztec gold coins managed by the association. Even a second-ring wizard cannot violate it.”

Dean Thompson smiled and said, “This agreement is very good. In my opinion, it is much better than hunting down the remaining dark wizards. Those remaining dark wizards are tough nuts to crack. Even if we can swallow them, we will have to pay a huge price.”

Dean Thompson said, “By the way, the wizards of the White Wizard Association will have their merits counted in this war. However, only wizards who have officially joined the association can have their merits counted. So, if you want to get war merits, you must have a teaching contract with the local White Wizard Organization.”

Dean Thompson raised his palm and said to Locke, “Don’t worry, I’m not finished yet, Mr. Augustine.”

“I have a convenient solution. I have several temporary job openings at Lilith’s Hut. I can directly give you a temporary consultant title. You will then be considered an official wizard of the Southeast Corner White Wizard Association, and you will also receive war merit.”

“The title of temporary advisor has no binding force and is not considered a formal teaching position. It was created for situations like this.”

“So, it doesn’t count as you ever holding a teaching position.”

Dean Thompson advised Locke, “You must cherish the opportunity to be a teacher in your first wizarding organization. You know, your first job determines the quality of the wizarding organization you can find later.”

“If the first wizarding organization you work for isn’t high enough, it will become an invisible obstacle that prevents you from finding a better teaching job.”

Locke blinked, thinking of the advice that Consultant Francis had given him before, and was speechless. Consultant Francis had never mentioned this before, but kept talking about the benefits of working at Lilith’s Cabin first.
