Witch Christine shook her head, "To be honest, I don't know either."

Wizard Anthony said to Locke, "I can roughly guess. My current family, the Philade family, along with the Adams Smith family and the Ptolemy family, are all among the six highest-grade families in the Land of Six Towers."

"So, I can roughly guess what level of black wizard the Ptolemy family would hire. I estimate at most it won't exceed the vaporization stage."

"Any higher, even if the Ptolemy family has money, they can't control them."

"Which formal wizard from outside isn't shrewd? How could they possibly be honestly ordered around by their family."

Locke nodded. If that was the case, he still had a trump card, the beast form of Nature Guardian.

Moreover, by completing this transaction, he could inscribe a third defensive magic, plus with his Large Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow magical plant, his combat power had already risen to a very formidable level among First Circle wizards.

He really didn't need to worry about this matter.

Locke said, "If that's the case, then I can accept this task. Christine, you can have that expert wait at the wizard airship heading to the Land of Six Towers."

"I'll send you all my departure time on the gray stone tablet."

Christine smiled, "Good, deal done."

"Then according to the transaction, if you give me one hundred fifteen thousand magic stones, I can give you three Cloud Sea Mist Pines and five bottles of Hive Mind Potion."

Locke nodded and first gave her the magic stones. They were all within the same relationship network, no one would turn hostile just for this small amount of money.

...

Three days later, Locke received the three Cloud Sea Mist Pines.

In the simple laboratory, the three Cloud Sea Mist Pines each had gnarled branches, and on the branches were swirling clouds and mist, as if a sea of clouds.

Those branches were like coiling dragons in a sea of clouds, a magnificent sight.

Cloud Sea Mist Pine naturally had a steaming mist sea that could protect itself, could create forest fog, could manufacture steam walls. It was a First Circle magical plant that evolved in nature, not considered a combat magical plant.

But transplanting it into his Forest Sanctuary would be very good.

Locke moved the three Cloud Sea Mist Pines into the Forest Sanctuary, while using the golden grafting knife to inscribe the third defensive magic on them, [Steam Bark].

This defensive magic was the second-tier defensive magic from Lilith's Cottage. It could create a steam armor on his body surface, like steam bark, protecting himself, and could also conceal his form, assisting his escape.

The reason it was only second-tier was because it had special effects against fire magic and ice magic, but against wind magic and other targeted magic, it would be countered.

Not balanced enough.

Therefore, it generally wasn't the first choice for formal wizards of Lilith's Cottage, but it had a specialty, which was that when facing fire magic, ice magic, and light magic, its countering effect was extremely strong.

It belonged to defensive magic that required seizing the right opportunity to exert maximum effect.

Locke chose this as his third defensive magic precisely because he valued this point.

This way, his Forest Sanctuary now had nine First Circle tree-type magical plants.

The forest ecology he could transform into would become even more powerful.

By inscribing the spell model of Steam Bark on the three Cloud Sea Mist Pines and borrowing their power to use the Steam Bark spell, it also provided a certain enhancement to Steam Bark.

After all, the spell model of Steam Bark was originally derived by plant magic wizards from referencing and studying Cloud Sea Mist Pine.

During this time, Locke also used the remaining forty thousand magic stones in his hands, plus four thousand five hundred White Wizard Association contribution points, to purchase a large amount of materials related to breeding, plant magic, and potion studies.

After all, he would spend the next two months on the wizard airship, so he needed to purchase a pile of materials in advance to read on the wizard ship.

Currently, he only kept five thousand magic stones in hand. Once he reached the Land of Six Towers, Lady Irina would find a way to deliver the over sixty thousand magic stones to be paid to him each month.

Five days later, Locke, together with Wizard Cord, headed to the wizard airship docking site next to Virdantia University.

He could see that the ground surface of the wizard airship docking site was composed of special magical stones made of Cloud Pattern Stone, Tunnel Heart Rock, and Weaving Sky Stone, forming a magic array constructed on the ground.

On the ground were also steel pillars as large as houses, serving as docking points for wizard airships.

At this time, there were already some scattered First Circle wizards waiting here.

Locke looked up at the sky. According to the time, the wizard airship should dock here and stay for one hour.

"Speaking of which, this is my first time seeing a wizard airship." Locke looked up at the sky. The wizard airship was already approaching. He could see a massive shadow deep in the sea of clouds in the sky, like a giant whale in the sea of clouds, descending from the heavens.

The huge shadow instantly enveloped everyone on the ground, and a tremendous magical pressure came rushing over, descending to the ground.

"This magical pressure... ordinary wizard apprentices coming here could only kneel down." Locke said in amazement.

He saw the thick cloud layer suddenly torn open, and through the torn sea of clouds, pure golden brilliant radiance projected down, so bright that no one could open their eyes.

A second sun appeared in the sky. Endless golden-red radiance fell toward the ground like light rain. The entire shape of the massive wizard airship was like an elegant streamlined silver shuttle.

In the middle of the shuttle, in the hollow part, was a genuine sun fireball. Above that sun fireball were some floating stairs that looked relatively small, with many golems stepping on those floating stairs, continuously pouring various materials from buckets in their hands into that sun.

And that sun, driven by the runic arrays of the wizard airship, was being controlled to continuously eject matter outward.

At this time, this silver shuttle descended from the sky, landing on the steel pillars on the ground. At the same time, the wizard airship transmitted a voice outward, "Day-Chasing Silver Shuttle is in position. All wizards who have purchased tickets, please board the Day-Chasing Silver Shuttle wizard airship within one hour."

"One hour later, the Day-Chasing Silver Shuttle airship will depart on time, heading to the Land of Six Towers."

Locke hadn't expected that the wizard airship would actually have such a domineering appearance, completely different from the large balloon airship he had imagined.

Its propulsion method was actually using a small sun as the drive.

Wizard Cord said to Locke, "Lord Augustine, wizard airships are generally void warships retired from planar battlefields. The one before us is a small void warship." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"After all, traversing wizard lands requires passing through many desolate domains. Without void warships, ordinary wizard ships definitely couldn't make it through."

Locke nodded. He observed that small sun and also realized.

That should be what an article described, the Sun Transmutation Array created by First Circle alchemists, just on a larger scale, but the principle should still be the Sun Transmutation Array.

The Sun Transmutation Array could continuously smelt and transform materials.

During the continuous transformation of materials, it would release large amounts of energy outward, so with just a bit of utilization, it could serve as the power source for this wizard warship before him.

The void warship before him was definitely one of the masterpieces of alchemy.

In principle, the Sun Transmutation Array was an alchemical transmutation array. Did this mean this wizard airship had to fly while continuing to transmute magical materials and craft magical equipment?

Wizard Cord said, "Lord Augustine, we should board the ship."

Locke nodded and began scanning the surroundings. After all, he had taken people's five bottles of Hive Mind Potion and thirty thousand magic stones, "We still need to wait for one person."
