The Crow's Nest is a force to be reckoned with.

Although they are all melee professionals, there are at least three or more legendary witchers in the entire crow's nest, and this force is a great help. The environment on the Black Coast is much worse than other places, because of the existence of dark wizards, everyone is basically more able to fight, and those who can't fight have been eliminated by dark wizards in history. Before Stephen came to the planet Motera, there were basically small-scale wizarding wars every ten or twenty years, and not only the loss of the Five Ring Towers, but also the Dark Wizards fought to the point that only the strongest Netherlands, the Valley of Wails, and the Death Mire remained.

Inside the Botanical Gardens.

Stephen returned to his lodgings, and the twin sisters, Avella and Emily, had recently been away from the Academy, and they had a rotation to garrison the Uncharted Realm, where they would be stationed at Stephen's Uncharted Resource Point for the next month.

Jacob is still the same.

But now that he has been promoted to become an official wizard, he has become the strongest king in the Pippi Essence, and even the leader of the Pipi Essence, Jack, does not dare to provoke him easily. Because of the lack of little fairies, the Pieves seem to be a little idle, knowing that in the past they would sneak and bully a little fairy, and then wait for Queen Betty to hunt them down all over the world, and in this way prove their bravery and ability to die. But now they can't even beat Jacob, there is no one to bully, and the Peeks feel that life has lost its fun, but fortunately, a new batch of apprentices will be assigned to the academy soon.

Everything in the academy is still the same.

If there is one of the most obvious changes, it is that many of the new wizards of the Canaanite Secret Shrine have shaved their heads, and it is said that the gossip that 'bald heads can become stronger' has begun to circulate in the Five Rings Tower.

The Mission Hall and Library have completed a second expansion.

Wizard apprentices came and went everywhere, and after many official wizards were sent to the secret realm, the apprentices' tasks began to increase. Maybe because of Stephen's relationship, there are a little more wizards who have joined the astrology platform than in the past, but unfortunately there are not many people who can pass the assessment, and the main battle force of the academy is still the wizard of the elemental pool.

"Lord Stephen!"

"Mentor Stephen!"

"Mentor Stephen!"

Along the way, there were people who constantly leaned over Stephen, but now there were fewer people calling Stephen and more people calling him Mentor Stephen.

Stephen nodded in response occasionally.

The standard robes of the Five Rings Tower have been replaced, and although the style is still the same as before, the materials have been replaced with rune cloth produced by Arantir. Occasionally, high-level wizards can be seen controlling the flying magic carpet across the sky, and since Stephen opened up some of the databases in the floating city, some of the knowledge passed down from the floating city has been sought after by wizards. The academy is hurrying to catch up with Arantir, and it can be seen that many wizards from the astrological observatory are rearranging the underground energy transmission network, and they want to replicate an obsidian leyline energy transmission network system.

The Shadow Raven has successfully hatched three of them, and the wizards of the Botanical Garden are currently domesticating.

Stephen spent a day at the Academy, then returned to Arrantil the next day, handing over the task of wooing the Night Phantom Witch to the prophet Ankara.

Wizard's Tower. Den.

The head maid, Miss Tinax, walked in and whispered, "Master." Countess Elijah has returned. ”

"Let her in. Stephen didn't look up.

"Yes. Tinax whispered.

Soon.

Countess Elijah walked in with Miss Pasha, who was now one of her spokesmen, in charge of the caravans throughout the North. Countess Illya was visibly wearing a light make-up and looked feminine and sensual, wearing a white lace-trimmed lady's dress and white silk gloves. Miss Pasha next to her was dressed much more plainly, just a light blue dress, which looked quite youthful and beautiful.

"Huh?" Stephen looked up at Miss Pasha in surprise.

He had long sensed that the other party had a weak psychic power, but now it seemed to be a little stronger, but it was still a long time before he truly awakened.

Probably because of his life in Arrantiel, the energy of the Floating City has awakened some potential spellcasters.

"How's the situation over there in Dragon City?" asked Stephen.

Countess Illya looked at Stephen tenderly, and said softly, "It's a mess. Tensions between the Normans and Argonians are growing, and war could break out again at any time. ”

"The Southerners seem to be involved, too. ”

"A highland blue-blooded nobleman was killed by bandits near Dragon City. They were looking to the Normans for an explanation. ”

"That's right. ”

"For the last month or two, there have been strange noises coming out of the underground mines of Dragon City. ”

"The locals are very uneasy!"

Stephen showed a thoughtful expression when he heard this, and asked, "When do you think it's more appropriate to do it?"

Hearing his words, Countess Illya's eyes lit up and said, "I think the second half of the year will be a good time to do it." At that time, we can clean up the mess and take over the entire Dragon City area by the way. ”

After all this time, Countess Elija is still very keen on worldly power.

She had always expected Stephen to dominate Dragon City.

"Half of the year? It's about the same time. Stephen cupped his chin and thought, "Then you can start preparing now." ”

"Okay. Lord Stephen. Countess Elijah said with great interest.

Speaking of which, Stephen turned his head to look at Miss Pasha next to him and asked, "What's the situation on the other side of the Southern Wind Valley?"

"Everything works fine. Miss Pasha said softly, "The cultists seem to be lurking. ”

Stephen nodded and said, "Keep watching them." ”

After saying that, he turned to Miss Pasha and said, "You go back first." I have something to discuss with Lady Elijah. ”

"Yes. Miss Pasha leaned over slightly, and turned her head to look at Countess Elija, whose pretty face was slightly red, and there was a hint of charm in her eyes, and the woman's intuition made her guess something, but she obviously wouldn't do more.

Thereupon.

Next, Stephen examined Countess Illya's body in-depth as usual, her Dragon Pulse Warlock talent awakening progress is very slow, and Stephen must often inject core elements to speed up the progress. The physical examination lasted until late at night, and after sending someone to see off the weak-skinned Countess Elijah, Stephen began his daily meditation practice.

But this time he felt something, and immediately ordered a retreat and meditation.

Stephen then fell into a month-long hibernation, and it seemed that something key had awakened in his dragon vein genes.

Stephen enters a dragon-like dormancy.
