Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 161 The Bloodline Wizard Rises Again!

Ronan, dressed in a black wizard's robe, walked into Lawrence's mansion in the upper city with his hands behind his back.

"Jazz!"

As they walked, they were greeted by rows of charming maids.

These maids, however, came from all races.

Some have blonde hair and blue eyes, while others have black hair and black eyes.

Some had fair skin, some had wheat-colored skin, and some had dark skin...

Ronan nodded as he walked.

He came to see his third brother, Bran.

After all, he had been focused on cultivation and hadn't seen his younger brother for some time.

He walked straight into the courtyard and saw Bran wielding two swords.

He only started practicing with two-handed swords when he last met Bran.

Unexpectedly, not long after, Bran had become very skilled with his two-handed swords.

Bran was not wearing any armor, and the sword in his hand drew arcs in the air.

The sword flashed, and the sound of whistling wind could be heard from within.

Compared to the last time we met, Bran was taller and stronger.

After analyzing the primordial chaos, it was discovered that Bran's power had reached the initial level of a Golden Knight.

Bran's swordsmanship instructor, a lean, middle-aged man with curly hair, immediately bowed upon seeing Ronan approach: "Sir Ronan!"

Although this man is quite famous in the world of knights, Ronan is actually a wizard.

Although knights can kill wizards, that is only an isolated case.

Only a very few outstanding knights can do this.

Therefore, most of the time, knights always felt inferior to wizards.

Therefore, upon seeing Ronan, the master swordsman, he instinctively bowed.

Fortunately, Ronan returned the greeting, giving the sword master ample face.

"Ronan!"

When Bran saw Ronan approaching, he stopped swinging his sword and called out.

After placing the two swords back on the rack, Bran walked over to Ronan.

He walked while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Bran was handsome, with slightly curled black hair that hung down his forehead.

"Gentlemen, I shall take my leave. Sir Bran, I shall return tomorrow."

Upon seeing the two brothers reunite, the sword master said.

Ronan and Bran both nodded.

"Ronan, would you like to practice your witchcraft with me?"

After the sword master left, Bran said to Ronan.

Ronan waved his hand, "Let's talk about it after you reach the peak of the Golden Knight realm."

Bran then asked, "Will I be able to beat a wizard in the future?"

“Of course there is a chance,” Ronan said, but in his heart he was thinking that the battle between knights and wizards actually relied on the combination of equipment, mounts and their own strength.

Moreover, the Knight's margin for error is much smaller than the Wizard's.

After all, knights use the magical formations on their armor to defend against magical attacks.

Once attacked by witchcraft several times, the witchcraft array on the armor will be destroyed, and the armor will lose its defensive effect.

Wizards can continuously cast defensive spells; as long as they have magic power, they can continue to cast defensive spells even if they are broken.

Furthermore, it was also a dangerous task for the knight to close the distance with the wizard.

Some knights were killed by wizards as they closed the distance.

Moreover, even if one does manage to get closer to the wizard, there's no guarantee that the wizard hasn't improved their physique, which could prevent them from killing the wizard quickly and make them a sitting duck.

“Ronan, why haven’t you moved in yet?” Bran asked.

Ronan said, "My home in Midtown has my experimental equipment, as well as some magical plants and other things. Moving them here would be too much trouble."

"Oh." Bran listened and didn't ask any further questions.

"Yes, have you heard anything about Lyon lately?" Ronan asked.

Bran shook his head. "I asked the people who came to curry favor with me, and they haven't heard anything about Lyon either."

"Fawning over you?" Ronan's eyes showed doubt.

Bran nodded. "Many wizards and knights have come here, bringing us many gifts, including cultivation resources and women."

“A woman?” Ronan raised an eyebrow.

“Yes,” Bran said, “They’ve got all ages, but I didn’t take any of them.”

Ronan nodded, then asked, "So, did you accept any cultivation resources?"

Bran said, "I refused, but they insisted on giving up."

“Where is it? Take me to see it,” Ronan said.

Bran then led Ronan to a warehouse, where they saw many items piled up inside.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Ronan knew what was inside each of the wooden boxes.

There are medicinal herbs, monster materials, metals...

He is now considered a learned person among wizards of the same rank, and he knows what these things are.

Some were for knights' training, and some were for wizards' training.

“Let’s pick and choose what we need,” Ronan said.

Bran looked at Ronan after hearing this.

Ronan continued, "Since Lyon hasn't come out yet, those who gave him gifts will definitely cause him trouble in the future."

"Besides, these things are quite expensive, so we can't just leave them here to gather dust."

As he spoke, Ronan walked to some wooden boxes and waved them into his storage ring.

“The rest of these are items for knights’ training, which are beneficial for improving physical fitness. Have someone cook them for you,” Ronan said.

“Okay.” Bran nodded.

He was only a fifteen-year-old boy, and had always been raised under the discipline of his father, Layton.

At this moment, with neither Layton nor Lyon present, he naturally listened to Ronan.

"I'll be going now. I'll come see you again in a while."

Ronan patted Bran's head and then left the warehouse.

After leaving the mansion, Ronan couldn't help but look back at the towering wizard's tower once more.

However, the Wizard Tower stood silently.

The windows of the wizard tower were pitch black, and he couldn't see anything at all.

……

The Wizard Tower of Dorifa, the laboratory on the fifty-fourth floor.

In the laboratory, which was glowing red from the candlelight, there were two circular arrays engraved with intricate patterns.

In one of the circles lay the legendary wizard of the kingdom, Dolifa, in white robes, with a white beard and white hair. In the other circle lay Leon, with black hair, black eyes, and a robust physique.

Both of them had their eyes closed, and a vibrant, purple-based aura swirled around them.

On the palm of Lyon's right hand was a strange pattern, with the deepest colorful aura swirling around it.

After a while, both of them slowly opened their eyes.

Then, they all sat up from the circular magical formation.

"This trip to the Nightmare World was quite fruitful."

Dolifa touched the storage ring on his right hand with his right thumb and said.

After he stood up, he walked to the lab table.

With a wave of his hand, plants shrouded in colorful aura, flesh with colorful blood, and strangely shaped stones suddenly appeared on the experimental table.

After Lyon sat up, he said to Dolifa, "When can I go out and see my father and brother?"

Dolifa said while fiddling with the materials on the table, "Once I have fully researched the method to remove the side effects..."

Lyon said, "I won't say anything about this place after I leave."

"That's impossible to say."

Dolifa did not turn around. With a wave of her hand, a set of alchemical equipment appeared on the table.

With a thought, several wizard hands appeared, cleaning and arranging the alchemical equipment.

After a moment of silence, Dolifa continued, "It's alright. If you want to know about your family, I can have someone inform you at any time."

“Now that your family is doing well, if your family needs any resources, just ask and I will arrange for someone to deliver them to you.”

After a moment's thought, Lyon said, "I want the Lawrence family to become a high-ranking noble family in the Southeast Province, Ronan to become a formal wizard, and Brenda to reach the peak of the Golden Knight realm. Then I will immediately arrange for her to undergo physical transformation, but she should not be infused with bloodlines like mine."

Dolifa replied, “No problem, I will send a qualified wizard to the Southeast Province to help your family expand its territory.”

"As for your brother Ronan, I've heard that the wizards in the Wizarding Council are already currying favor with him. He has already obtained the qualification to enter the Kingdom Wizarding Academy's Wizarding Apprentice Library and the First-Class Official Wizard Library, and the training materials sent to his residence are enough for him to cultivate for quite some time. As for him becoming an official wizard, it's only a matter of time. As for whether it will be sooner or later, even I can't guarantee it."

"After all, I've heard that your younger brother isn't very good at being a wizard, is he?"

Lyon frowned upon hearing this: "The aptitude won't do. My brother took the wizard aptitude test at the Kingdom Wizard Academy and got a Grade A wizard aptitude."

“Oh, I forgot.” Dolifa slapped his forehead. “You probably still don’t know about this. I heard from the wizards in the Wizarding Council that your brother’s aptitude is only grade C. Without a lot of resources, he may never become a formal wizard in his entire life.”

Upon hearing this, a strange glint flashed in Lyon's eyes, which he quickly concealed.

He had witnessed Ronan's witchcraft before and felt that Ronan's level was not up to par.

However, he felt that Dolifa had no reason to lie to him.

This suggests that his younger brother may have had a remarkable encounter in Triumph City.

Since Dolifa didn't know, he wouldn't bring it up again.

“Then…” Lyon hesitated for a moment, then said, “Is there a way in this world to improve a wizard’s aptitude?”

"No, elemental affinity determines what you are at birth," Dorifa said.
"Otherwise, wouldn't this kingdom, this world, be full of wizards? What knights and mortals would there be?"

Lyon listened and then asked no further questions.

Dolifa then continued, "As for your other brother Bran, I heard he has also been well taken care of."

"Currently, I am practicing swordsmanship with a sword master, and my knight level is also improving by leaps and bounds."

"By now, he's probably a Gold Knight."

"The resources he receives are already the same as those of the knights of the seven great wizarding families."

"Once he reaches the peak of the Golden Knight realm, I promise you I will personally implant his bloodline."

“I will give you one from the bloodlines of these creatures to choose for him.”

Dolifa waved her hand, drawing Leon's gaze to the magical beasts soaking in glass tanks.

Although Lyon was uneasy about not being able to leave, he had no way to break the deadlock given the current situation, so he could only listen to the arrangements for the time being.

At that moment, Dolifa was processing materials and ignored him.

Lyon then walked over to the glass tanks and carefully examined the creatures submerged inside.

……

Before we knew it, more than three months had passed.

Neither the wizarding world nor the cultivation world experienced any incidents.

Although the True Immortal Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect in the cultivation world are still at war, it is in a state of normalcy.

Wars break out from time to time, but Ronan never has to get involved.

Ronan, on the other hand, was happy to cultivate the Scripture of Immortality of All Trees in the wizarding world, nurture his Wood Body, and construct a spiritual realm.

Early stage of foundation building (31%↑)
After breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and cultivating for half a day, Ronan decided to go out for lunch.

After leaving the house, I went into a tavern.

After ordering honey-glazed steak, pigeon meat pie, and a pot of fragrant fruit wine, we began to eat.

The conversations in the tavern reached his ears.

"Have you heard? The Orc Empire has started invading our borders again!" someone said.

"Has the Bloodline Grand Wizard discovered a new method for bloodline fusion?" another person asked.

"Yes, whenever a bloodline wizard develops a more powerful and lethal orc, war always breaks out."

"I heard that the wizards guarding the border are using the protective shield of the border fortress to stop the attacks of the orc knights and orc wizards."

"I estimate that the protective shield is about to collapse."

"Currently, the royal family and the Wizard Council are conscripting wizards and knights to fight on the border."

……

The Wizard Tower of Dorifa.

Augustus V, along with his chief guard and wizard guards, appeared on a level below the top.

He stood on the stairs leading to the top floor, waiting for Dolifa to summon him.

"Come up."

A voice came from the top of the stairs; it was Augustus V, who then began to ascend the steps.

Upon arriving at Dolifa's meditation chamber, Augustus V met Dolifa and saw Lyon standing beside him.

Augustus V looked at Lyon.

“Your Majesty,” Lyon bowed to Augustus V.

Augustus V nodded, his eyes still fixed on Lyon.

Dolifa understood Augustus V's meaning and said, "Lyon will be fine staying here."

After Augustus V nodded, he said, "Grand Uncle, the Orc Empire has attacked our border again. I heard that this time they have a new weapon. According to the intelligence that has been sent back, it is a group of Orc Knights with dragon heads and tails."

"We call them half-dragon knights. They are incredibly strong and can withstand several spell attacks. They can also breathe out the legendary dragon breath."

"If war breaks out, these half-dragon knights will be a real problem."

“Grand Uncle, the Orc Empire has repeatedly started wars because of the traitor Sophie Orenna.”

"Could we take some wizards with us to infiltrate the Orc Empire and kill that traitor?"

"In this way, the Orc Empire will no longer have any power to contend with us."

"Thus, this barbaric country will become our complete vassal state."
