Chapter 1272: Profits From Smuggling

"Master Sean, the overall quality of your Ashes Saint Pagoda's apprentices is so high. It's hard to believe that these kids are participating in the Academy War for the first time."

"Are there any tips for training apprentices? Can you share them?" After the Academy War, the master of the Flowing Light Waterfall Saint Pagoda approached and asked.

The overall performance of the Flowing Light Waterfall Saint Pagoda ranked fourth in this Academy War.

If it weren't for a peak apprentice with the highest personal points, the face of this Saint Pagoda master would probably not be much better than that of the Purple Calyx Saint Pagoda master.

Before the Academy War started, this Saint Pagoda master was quite confident in the little guys in his academy.

"Master Rex, you are joking. There is no special trick."

"If there is, it is the harsh environment and frequent battles in the Ash Land, which allow these little guys to experience a lot in advance."

"And I came to a conclusion as early as when I was a third-level magician. Under the premise of equal resources, the success rate of civilian apprentices is higher than that of noble apprentices."

"Although noble apprentices may have a slight advantage in initial mental strength when they start learning magic." Sean replied.

Sean's introduction made several masters of the Holy Pagoda look thoughtful. 🄲

Then, Sean smiled and said, "Master Rex, your academy's top ice apprentice Sean is not bad."

"If the little guy's 'Ice Storm' magic is improved a little, he can reach the level of a desperate apprentice in this academy war." Sean said.

Rex, the master of the Flowing Waterfall Holy Pagoda, also smiled a little after hearing this.

In fact, that top apprentice is his grandson.

The little guy has earned enough face for him this time.

After returning to the academy, the tower master may personally instruct the child.

...

After a brief exchange of greetings with several holy tower masters, this regional academy war was officially over.

The resources and magic coin rewards accompanying the academy war, in addition to the small part that the six holy tower academies need to bear, the other more subsidies come from the Wizard Alliance.

After the academy war, Sean personally met with two apprentices who performed exceptionally well in this academy war-Cohen and Amyia.

Although the two little guys have not yet been promoted to the first level, considering their outstanding talents and academy performance, Sean, as the tower master, has given them many benefits.

Including the holy tower contract after being promoted to the first level, there will be great favoritism for the two.

Cohen and Amyia now have their own mentors, and their mentors are all registered magicians of the Ashes Holy Tower.

When asked what wish Cohen, who ranked second, wanted to fulfill, Cohen said surprisingly that he hoped that the great Ashes Holy Tower Master could help him resurrect someone.

Cohen's request made Sean shake his head.

He had never heard of any magician who could bring the dead back to life.

Even the master, Cui Lisi, could only watch her two disciples run out of vitality, so what could he do?

If the corpse was transformed into an undead creature, or a corpse-synthesized beast... Sean could help.

Some high-quality undead creatures can even inherit some of their memories before they died.

I just don't know if this is considered "resurrection".

After Cohen's first wish could not be met, he then proposed that he hoped to eliminate all the black magicians in the Ash Land, including himself, and he would devote his life to it.

For this request, Sean highly praised Cohen's character.

The little guy is not old, but his ambition is not small.

Sean said that as the tower master, he would definitely bear the peace and stability of the entire Ash Land.

As for another female apprentice, Amyia, who seemed to have higher potential, when Sean asked if he needed to replace her with a mechanical arm, Amyia respectfully declined the tower master's kindness.

Amyia said, "My mentor, Lord Flack, has promised to build me an elemental arm after the end of this academy war."

Amyia, who gave other apprentices a cold and unapproachable feeling, blushed like a ripe apple when she mentioned her mentor Flack.

The elemental arm is at least a skill that can only be mastered by a second-level magician. The reason why Flack did not give it to Amyia in this academy war is probably because of the academy rules, and he was worried that doing so in advance would be suspected of cheating.

"Flack? Is he the magician who saved you?" Sean asked later. He had a deep memory of Amyia's experience.

Faced with the tower master's question, Amyia nodded shyly.

...

After meeting the two potential seeds who performed outstandingly in the academy war, Sean returned to the underground part of the Ash Holy Tower and met two distinguished guests.

They were the tower masters of the Red Gold Dragon Holy Tower and the Lava Volcano Holy Tower who had just said goodbye to Sean not long ago.

On the shoulder of the Lord of the Red Gold Dragon Holy Tower, a miniature golden flying dragon was squatting.

This golden dragon gave people a feeling of majesty, but after arriving at the Ash Holy Tower, the golden dragon still carefully restrained its breath.

Not only for the sake of confidentiality.

There is another reason... Bixi was sleeping in the lake above at this time.

"Tsk tsk, this is Master Sean's three-stage holy tower, right? It is really extraordinary!"

"I can feel that if we reach the bottom of the Holy Tower, the magma environment and the thickness of the fire laws there will be of great help to us in exploring the truth." The Lord of the Red Gold Dragon Holy Tower sighed.

At this time, the Lord of the Lava Volcano Holy Tower also looked around curiously.

Both of them are fire elementalists, and they are in the same industry as Sean.

Therefore, the two can feel the ingenuity of Sean's Holy Tower's site selection and construction structure more clearly than other fourth-level magicians.

Unlike his talkative performance in the previous academy war, after coming to Sean's underground Holy Tower, the Lord of the Lava Volcano Holy Tower did not talk much. It was the Lord of the Red Gold Dragon Holy Tower who kept communicating with Sean.

After Sean said a few humble words, he talked to the two fourth-level magicians of the Beren Empire about cooperation in areas such as resource exchange and commercial trade.

The reason why he did not speak openly in the previous apprentice war, but now ran to the underground of the Holy Tower for a secret talk, is naturally because the content of the conversation involving the three Holy Tower Lords is not suitable for exposure.

Even from some perspectives, Sean and the other two violated the rules of the Wizard Union and the strict laws of the Beren Empire.

These two level 4 magicians of the Beren Empire were introduced by the Spider Queen.

And they should not be the highest level that the Spider Queen has contacted, but just people sent by a certain group of forces in the Beren Empire to contact Sean.

The smuggling profits of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions are exciting.

Maybe Sean is not a righteous person by nature.

When doing this kind of thing, Sean did not have any moral condemnation or guilt at all.

He just wanted to get as much benefit as he could from it.
