One Way to Advance to Sun-Ring and Two Q1 Publications

At that moment, the entire Eastern Sector was astonished by the Wizard's Shoe competition. Most surprised of all were the local Cloud Marsh Wetland wizards in fields related to Wizard's Shoes. Augustus had produced an entry on the very first day the competition was announced, and that entry perfectly matched the Eastern Sector Wizard's Shoe Competition's requirements.

The Eastern Sector Competition Committee actually intended to complete the entire competition, from beginning to end, within a single month.

After reprimanding Wizard Lex, Argos contacted many of his friends among Wizard's Shoes and Magic Shoemakers. Once he had spoken with them, he sat in his chair and read Locke's two Q1 Journal articles published in this month's Cloud Marsh. One introduced the cultivation and use of Azure Cloud Duckweed and reviewed Pure Magic Plant Wizard Shoes. Argos himself had originally wanted to publish an article in Cloud Marsh this month on using the Anbo Magic Orb with the World Foundation Stone Wizard's Shoe.

But Cloud Marsh had rejected it.

After reading this article, Wizard Argos immediately understood why Cloud Marsh had rejected his article this month, forcing him to submit it to Textiles and Materials, published by the Rose Council. Although that was also a Q1 Journal, it was certainly less authoritative and prestigious than Cloud Marsh.

It turned out the Azure Cloud Duckweed magic plant had set a high standard.

Because he ran the Two-Headed Ship · Shop Alliance, he also knew that Azure Cloud Duckweed had quickly won recognition from many wizards in the subsidiary worlds outside the Wizarding World.

Wizard Argos looked at the second article. Its title was Spiritual Evolution.

As a Breeder, Argos looked puzzled. "Spiritual Evolution? I'm a Breeder, and I've never heard of such a thing."

Atavistic Evolution and Surge Evolution were both already known.
