Ten minutes later,
At the entrance to the dormitory area, Aurora said happily,
"Master,
I really became your maid!"
Wayne smiled and nodded.
"Mm, congratulations."
Then he changed the subject. "Don't you want to ask about the Breathing Technique?
You were very excited just now."
Nia's voice immediately followed. "Exactly, exactly,
Sister Aurora was as excited as I am when I see delicious stones!"
As soon as she finished speaking,
Aurora could not help laughing. "Oh, you little Nia,
It's one thing for you to want to eat magic crystals yourself, but you even used a scheme."
As she spoke, she tilted her head and looked at Wayne with confusion in her eyes.
"Why should I ask?
Didn't Master already promise to exchange it for me?"
Hearing that,
Wayne shook his head with an amused smile. He did not say much, but his heart warmed considerably.
Come to think of it,
Being trusted like this really felt wonderful.
Five minutes later,
Wayne and Aurora landed laughing before Villa No. 66,
But the next second,
Wayne's smile vanished. At the villa entrance stood a stunning woman in a red dress whose skirt billowed like flames,
Holding an Elf Hut as she waited at the door.
As for why his smile disappeared,
It was because this stunning woman was none other than the teacher who had previously explained the knight ranks to Wayne.
He stepped forward.
"Teacher, why are you here?"
The woman was also startled when she saw Wayne.
"It's you?"
Without saying more, she glanced at the little elf on Wayne's shoulder.
Then she got down to business.
"This is the Elf Hut you ordered from the Elf Trade Guild.
Open the door.
I'll help you carry it inside and set it up."
Hearing that,
Wayne was about to nod, but he stopped the next instant.
How could he let her enter?
He immediately changed the subject on purpose. "No, no,
Teacher, just leave it at the door.
Also, how much is the payment?"
The stunning woman looked at Wayne and revealed a breathtakingly beautiful yet dangerous smile. "Teacher has been standing outside for so long,
And you don't intend to offer your teacher a cup of water?
You truly are a fine student!"
Hearing that,
Wayne inwardly groaned. Etiquette did indeed require that, and she had answered many of his questions in class before,
But who knew whether this woman could see through the secrets in the courtyard?
Therefore,
He still had no intention of letting her inside and raised a hand to take out a high-grade magic crystal.
"Sorry, Teacher. We lost track of time and came back rather late.
This is a high-grade magic crystal.
Consider it your payment."
As he spoke, he stepped forward, grabbed the woman's hand, and placed it in her palm,
Then took the Elf Hut from her.
"Aurora, let's go home."
After saying that,
He walked to the entrance. The door opened automatically, and he quickly went inside.
Aurora was not slow to react either.
She followed him in as well.
The stunning woman was slightly taken aback. She turned to look at the closing door,
But did not force her way in.
After all, the academy's rules were not merely for show.
"Tch, I was actually turned away.
What an unpleasant fact to accept."
As she spoke, a smile bloomed at the corner of her lips, like a rose—
Beautiful, yet covered in thorns.
As the door shut tightly, the stunning woman tossed the high-grade magic crystal in her hand with interest,
Then turned and left.
Inside the courtyard of Villa No. 66.
Wayne sat on the pure white jade ground, staring at the tightly shut gate as though it were some terrifying beast.
"Hehe, Master,
Could that be a woman you abandoned?"
Hearing that,
Wayne looked at Aurora, who stood beside him teasingly, and flicked her forehead.
"Mm~
Master, don't tell me I really guessed right?"
Wayne said irritably, "What nonsense are you talking about?
She's the teacher from one of my previous classes."
Hearing this,
Aurora was somewhat puzzled. "Since she is your teacher,
Shouldn't you have invited her in even more?"
Facing Aurora's question, Wayne waved his hand.
"That's true, but first look at the courtyard.
This is your master's secret."
Hearing that,
Aurora instantly stiffened. Because of the Sanctuary Contract,
Once Aurora understood
That this was Wayne's secret or privacy, she could not reveal it in any manner.
Only then
Did Aurora look around the courtyard and see one hundred pots of magical plants.
"What is this, Master?
How is that a secret?"
Wayne first took out the supreme-grade magic crystal Nia had already eaten from and handed it to her,
Then spoke.
"Then take a look. What is Nia eating?"
Hearing that,
Aurora froze slightly before looking over.
The next moment,
"A supreme-grade magic crystal?
And an untyped supreme-grade magic crystal?
Master, this is far too wasteful!!!"
Wayne did not answer,
Instead, he casually said, "Even Nia eats supreme-grade magic crystals every day.
What do you think is in the courtyard?"
Hearing that,
Aurora instantly understood, her voice trembling slightly.
"Master,
Are you saying that all one hundred magical plants are nurturing little elves?"
As she spoke,
She looked at Wayne with utter disbelief in her eyes.
Seeing this,
Wayne chuckled softly. "Of course. Otherwise, why do you think
I wouldn't let her enter?
If she saw through it, then even though this is the Lord Wizard Academy, and the Tower of Truth and the Temple uphold world order,
There will always be people blinded by greed,
No matter how peaceful the era may be. Wouldn't your master be in great danger then?"
As his words fell,
Aurora finally understood why Wayne had been so calm
When she had mentioned little elves before.
Because he did not lack them.
At the same time, she quickly calculated the amount and spoke in shock.
"Master, one hundred pots means one hundred thousand supreme-grade magic crystals,
One billion low-grade magic crystals,
And one hundred trillion gold coins. Master is so wealthy... no,
He should be called unimaginably rich!"
Hearing that,
Wayne calmly shook his head. "In any case, as long as I have enough money, that's all that matters."
As he spoke, he stood and dusted off his backside.
"Let's go.
We spent the whole day out today. Once we set up the Elf Hut upstairs, today's task will be complete."
As he spoke,
He stood, picked up the Elf Hut, and walked into the villa. The little elf followed closely behind.
As for Aurora,
She watched Wayne's back, her heart brimming with excitement. At the same time, regarding Wayne's promise
To do his utmost to nurture her within his means,
She felt even more anticipation.
At the same time,
She secretly rejoiced even more over her choice back then. Raising her head toward the star-filled sky,
The girl prayed softly, "Sanctuary Will!
Thank you for your blessing!"
One hour later,
In the second-floor living room, Wayne, freshly bathed and dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, sat on the sofa. Looking at the elf castle hut on the table before him,
He gently tapped it.
A top-down map projection appeared, displaying every area within a radius of ten thousand square kilometers,
It appeared in a miniature form,
on the map.
Wayne had only spent half an hour imprinting it earlier,
then gone to take a bath.
After all, cumbersome clothing was,
also a form of restraint to Wayne.
Even after wearing it for more than a decade, Wayne still was not used to it. Only now did he have the chance to inspect it.
Back to the point.
Wayne looked at the center of the map, where a hundred castles stood, and only now did he have an idea.
He examined them closely.
First of all, every castle had a corresponding teleportation array,
which could teleport one to,
the land in each corresponding area. An area of ten thousand square kilometers was equivalent to 150 million mu of land.
Once one hundred elves filled them,
that came to an average of 1.5 million mu of land per person. For Wayne at present,
at least during his studies,
it was enough.
