A day later, Locke had just stepped out of the large metal telescope. It was a steel structure as large as a house, located on the fifteenth floor of the research institute's base. It required a massive flow of energy every moment; otherwise, the telescope could not operate.
In essence, this was a large Second-Ring magic artifact.
With sufficient magical energy, even a Sun-Ring Wizard could not withstand the device's illumination with their physical body.
Locke had used the device and spent 10,000 Magic Stones on the fee to conduct a preliminary analysis of the internal structural features and specific operating mechanism of the Ancient Flower Root.
The three Mason Witches had worked on this part together, saving him a great deal of time.
When Locke came out, Scarlett Witch contacted him through the Water Gourd System and told him that [Solas Barefoot 30K] and [Meraki Magicstep] had joined forces with all the wizard shoe brands to launch a joint strangulation campaign against their Augustus Wizard Shoes.
Locke looked puzzled. "A joint strangulation campaign?"
"They're targeting me?"
Scarlett Witch initiated a video call. "That is definitely impossible. Even a capital giant like Arthas would not dare directly violate the laws of the White Wizard Association. After all, directly violating the laws of the White Wizard Association would be no different from being a Black Wizard and opposing the collective will of all wizard academies—the orders of the Supreme Truth Council."
"Suppressing Black Wizards has never required following the law. Since this is a commercial action, no one can say anything about it. The two companies have now issued a task—wizard shoe trade-ins. Every pair of Augustus Wizard Shoes can be directly exchanged for a newer and better version of Solas Barefoot (30K), or for any product series under Meraki Magicstep."
