Who would have thought that Natalie would be unwilling? The electric sparks in her hand crackled non-stop as she coldly said, "If we leave the Wizard Tower behind, what are we supposed to do?"
"You all can follow the Wizard Tower. I will grant you access. Once we defeat the Six Great Wizard Towers, you can take the Wizard Tower back with you."
Only then did Natalie nod in satisfaction. This was something they had discussed long ago. Since Daniel could harness the power of the Wizard Tower to defeat the Six Great Wizard Towers and bring countless glory and benefits to the academy, why couldn't they?
They could fully utilize the power of the Wizard Tower to acquire numerous resource points for the academy, which would lead to even more support and resources for them. This would be enough for them to use for a long time after becoming Formal Wizards.
At that time, there had been disputes over who would use the Wizard Tower first; both Natalie and Reirfu wanted to be the first.
As for Mary and Albert, they didn't compete at all because they didn't need to.
Albert was an Alchemist, and his demand for resources was not high in one aspect; more importantly, he simply didn't need to fight for them.
As an Alchemist, he crafted Magical Items for others and received high commissions. How could he lack resources? There was no need to fight with others over trivial things.
With that time, he might as well focus on crafting Magical Items. After all, as long as he produced them, there would be plenty of people eager to buy them, and he could set the price. No matter how high the price was set, there would always be someone willing to pay.
As for Mary, it was even simpler; as long as she had enough resources, there was no need to fight over them when a battle could be much more exhilarating.
"However..."
Daniel hesitated for a moment and took out a map of the six academies, marking the areas where the Wizard Tower could go.
The massive stone cave where the Wizard Tower was located absolutely forbade entry by the Wizard Tower. Ignoring the astonished looks from others who wondered why, he led Natalie and the others into a cabin.
Natalie couldn't hold back any longer and anxiously asked, “Daniel, why do you have such rules?”
Daniel checked to see if anyone was eavesdropping, then raised the protective shield and said, “Actually, it’s nothing much. I just want to ask how many Wizard Towers or academies you plan to attack.”
Without thinking too much, Natalie shouted, “Of course, the more the better. Your academy can handle six Wizard Towers at the same time, even while being forced to defend. If I prepare properly, taking down seven or eight Wizard Towers shouldn’t be a problem.”
Daniel shook his head and sighed, “That’s exactly what I wanted to tell you; absolutely don’t do that.”
“Why not? Why can you do it but we can’t?”
“This isn’t about who can or can’t; it’s about the bigger picture. Do you know why, even when the Six Great Wizard Towers have reached the academy's doorstep, no Formal Wizard has intervened?”
The group exchanged glances, as this was precisely their confusion. Logically speaking, with the Six Great Wizard Towers at their doorstep, even if the Formal Wizards were reluctant to intervene, they should have stepped in by now. Yet, at such a critical moment, why had they not made a move?
“That’s because both the Wizard Towers and the academy actually belong to the Wizard Alliance. The Wizard Alliance is merely a tool for cultivating Formal Wizards. This war is just a rehearsal for our future battles as Formal Wizards, aimed at training qualified Battle Mages. They wouldn’t intervene unless their bottom line is truly provoked…”
Daniel recounted his previous speculations to the others. A deep sense of hatred and unwillingness surged within Natalie and the others. Tens of thousands of Wizard Apprentices, risking their lives for the academy, exhausting their last drops of blood for victory and leaving their lives on the battlefield—what a tremendous cost that was!
Yet in the eyes of the Formal Wizards, it was merely a game that added some amusement to their lives. They looked down on this war, knowing it was futile but not revealing the truth to them.
When did they ever regard themselves as human beings and value their own lives?
The frustration within them could not be vented.
Daniel knew they would feel this way; he himself had once felt the same. But knowing didn’t change anything; with their own strength, they couldn’t resist and were still at the mercy of others.
Only by becoming a Formal Wizard and stepping out of the trap of the academy can one truly grasp their own destiny.
"By the way, I have one more thing to assign to you." This was what Daniel said to Eric.
Upon hearing this, Eric sat up straight, pretending to listen attentively.
"Eric, this time when I return to the academy, what are your plans for the Wizard Legion?"
Everyone perked up their ears to listen; this was also a matter of concern for them.
Although the Wizard Legion was merely a joke in the eyes of Formal Wizards, who could easily dismiss them, it was still the true prototype of the Wizard Legion.
"I plan for you to search throughout the Flame Throne Wizard Academy for those willing to follow me as Wizard Apprentices. You will tell them that anyone who is willing can sign a contract with me.
I do not require anything from them now; I only ask that after they become Formal Wizards, they join us.
Of course, in return, I can design a complete set of Magical Items specifically for them during their time as Wizard Apprentices, fully equipping them. Additionally, I will prepare sufficient resources for their advancement."
Only then did everyone understand his intentions and couldn't help but marvel at Daniel's ideas.
This was preparation for the future Wizard Legion.
Though this Wizard Legion consisted entirely of Wizard Apprentices and could not compare to Formal Wizards, they were still the elite of the entire academy, with a high probability of becoming Formal Wizards in the future—about one in every two or three.
After all, an ordinary Formal Wizard only needed to reach 80 points in Mental Power to advance. While this value was challenging, these Wizard Apprentices could manage it with a hundred or eighty years of effort if they persevered.
Compared to the 500-year lifespan of a Wizard Apprentice, it is not very long, but they can afford to wait.
As soon as these individuals become Formal Wizards, they can form a well-trained Wizard Legion that is capable of handling tasks independently. Whether for missions or as companions to assist them, they make excellent allies.
More importantly, this gives them great inspiration.
Natalie and Reirfu exchanged glances, both feeling somewhat excited. Although this Wizard Legion was of the Fire Element and did not match them perfectly, they could return to the academy and follow Daniel's example to establish their own Wizard Legion.
Even Mary and Albert became interested. Although Mary did not need a Wizard Legion, she wanted to organize a group of people to fight together; it would be exhilarating.
After all, in real warfare, it is often not about one person fighting alone but rather presenting a legion-style approach. Being just one inconspicuous member among many, no matter how confident she is in her abilities, she knows that one person can easily be affected by various circumstances. She does not want to be killed inadvertently by someone before she has fully enjoyed the thrill of battle.
Albert felt the same way. Many alchemical items cannot be produced by just one person. For instance, in creating the Wizard Tower this time, if he had not invited ten Alchemists who had obtained the Silver Moon Guardian Badge to help him, it would have been impossible for him to complete it alone.
After becoming a Formal Wizard, this becomes even more evident; many Magical Items cannot be crafted by a single individual.
Moreover, they are a team. If someone wants to organize a Wizard Legion, the number of Magical Items required would not be just one or two but thousands or tens of thousands. It is not something he can produce alone; it requires an entire Alchemist team. He could easily organize one now rather than waiting until later when he struggles alone and then has to seek help.
