Knowledge Trading Platform
" Body Refinement Wizard, Second Layer Thunderstorm Giant Bloodline, Activated!"
With a low growl, a colossal giant nearly 11 meters tall appeared, its body crackling with terrifying arcs of electricity, like a son of thunder emerging from the lightning.
Leo's transformation into the Thunderstorm Giant had no other purpose than to retrieve the statue of the God of Giants Kampas from the Shadow Space.
The statue was exceptionally heavy, requiring even the Thunderstorm Giant to exert its full strength. A hundred years had passed since the last expedition to the Giant World, and Leo believed it was time to inquire with the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard about the material.
When the Thunderstorm Giant placed the statue on the platform, the words that had appeared before reappeared inside the crystal ball.
"This substance has been designated as an exclusive decryption material by the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard. If you wish to learn its specific effects, you can contact the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard through this platform and spend a certain amount of energy crystals to decrypt it."
"Should I contact the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard?"
"Yes, please contact the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard."
After hearing Leo's answer, the crystal ball fell silent for a while, as it was trying to contact the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard.
The Thunderstorm Giant transformed back into his human form. In his mind, Level-Six Stigmata Wizard were all extremely busy beings, and for something as trivial as himself, it might take half a year to even get in touch with them.
Leo had prepared for long-term contact before coming, but she never expected that...
Just as Leo deactivated his Thunderstorm Giant form and reverted to his human form, a scene filled with snowflakes suddenly appeared inside the crystal ball.
This is because the energy level of the other party is too high, exceeding the transmission range of the crystal ball, and can only be displayed as a snowflake image.
Needless to say, the opponent must be the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard!
"You are... Leo?"
Just as Leo was about to stand up and pay his respects, the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard opposite him called out his name directly.
"It is my honor to have met the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard. It is my honor to be remembered by you," Leo said, bowing respectfully.
"Don't be modest. Your excellence surpasses your imagination. It's hard for any Stigmata Wizard who has seen you not to remember your name. How come... you've advanced to Level Two Elemental Body Refinement Wizard?"
The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, who had been chatting with Leo in a gentle voice, somehow sensed Leo's change and his voice suddenly rose several decibels.
"I was just lucky to get promoted," Leo said with a modest smile.
"Little wizard, excessive modesty is arrogance. I can easily take what you just said as boasting."
Leo: "..."
Leo was speechless after being teased. Even though you are Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard, you don't have to be so blunt.
"Of course, you have the right to be arrogant. If I had your current abilities back then, I would have been even more arrogant than you, so arrogant that no one could stop me even if I were in the heavens." The laughter of the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard came from inside the crystal ball.
Previously, Leo's impression of Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard was that they were all serious and had the air of high-ranking figures, but now, seeing them, they were quite... cheerful.
"Where did you get this Stone of Indestructibility? Are you selling it or not? I can offer a high price."
The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard had just been joking with Leo, suddenly looked at the statue on the platform and asked a question. The speed of his change in emotion and words caught Leo off guard.
" The Stone of Indestructibility?"
A glint of inspiration flashed in Leo's eyes. The name of this thing seemed similar to the title of the Undying Body Stigmata Wizard. Was there some connection between them?
"To be honest, Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, I just picked up this Stone of Indestructibility casually. Because of its peculiar quality and its certain indestructibility, I kept it to investigate what it is."
As for selling?
"I'm not short of money, I just want to figure out what this Stone of Indestructibility is for. You know what the unknown means to a wizard," Leo said, looking at the crystal ball.
"I won't hide it from you, the Stone of Indestructibility is indeed inextricably linked to my path as a wizard. If you don't sell it and want to know Stone of Indestructibility uses, then you must be prepared to pay a huge price."
"After all, in the entire Wizard World, no wizard besides me knows how to use the Stone of Indestructibility."
"I'll ask you one more time, are you really not going to sell? Given the size of your Stone of Indestructibility, I can offer you a price you can't refuse."
"Would you like to hear my offer first?" The voice of the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard was like the most seductive devil, using the psychological suggestion of difficulty to constantly tempt Leo.
" Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, you'd better not say anything more. I'm afraid I might be tempted to sell it to you after you finish."
"Compared to money, which is the easiest thing to obtain, I'm more interested in the purpose of the Stone of Indestructibility."
"I beg you, Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, to state the price you require of me."
The more the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard tried to entice Leo Leo sell him the Stone of Indestructibility Stone of Indestructibility, the more it demonstrated its importance.
Leo's curiosity was completely piqued. Something that could be valued by Level-Six Stigmata Wizard must be a treasure!
Now, thinking back to the decryption conditions set by the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard on the Knowledge Trading Platform, it's definitely not the kind of thing I thought before—that he wanted to use this knowledge to earn energy crystals. Instead, he was using this method to make all the Stone of Indestructibility appear in front of him on their own initiative.
In order to obtain the Stone of Indestructibility that they need most!
"I can't explain this Knowledge Trading Platform clearly. I'll leave you an address; send it to me within ten years, and we'll discuss it in person."
"OK."
After the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard gave an address and directions, he hung up the crystal ball. Judging from his final tone, he was clearly disappointed that Leo hadn't sold him the Stone of Indestructibility.
Looks like we're in for a busy time again.
Leo recalled the address given by the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard; it was indeed quite far, almost spanning half of the Wizard World.
"Isn't that perfect? You originally planned to travel the Wizard World after your advancement. Going to the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard's location first is a good idea. I heard that it's mainly for Body Refinement Wizard, and the customs and culture are completely different. It's a great place to travel."
Yaoyao popped out from behind Leo's head and said.
In Leo's plan, the two-hundred-year rest period was intended to have the goal of advancing to the elemental side for the first hundred years. Although it has been a few years overdue, that was because the Purple Flame Academy had delayed things considerably.
The plan for the next hundred years was to embark on his first travels. Before Leo advanced to the Level Two Elemental Body Refinement Wizard, Leo stayed in the wizard tower like a homebody and didn't go anywhere.
Aside from those few worlds we explored, the other places we visited were limited.
This is because he had no time; his meager strength made him feel as if someone was chasing him as he moved forward.
After being promoted to level two, you'll remain at your current level for a long time. Promotion to level three is something you can't rush; it might take thousands of years.
I might as well take advantage of this hundred years of free time to travel around and see the world, so that my trip to the Wizard World won't be in vain.
"Yes, we have no choice but to go now."
Leo looked at the statue on the platform and slowly said, "I have a feeling that this Stone of Indestructibility has an extraordinary effect on me, and I must figure out its purpose."
"Once I've stabilized the changes in my strength after the promotion, we'll set off."
"Okay," Yaoyao smiled.
Being able to play is the happiest thing for him.
Yaoyao's lively personality and Leo's composure are two complete opposites.
Leo didn't linger in the office tower for long and quickly returned to the wizard tower. When he returned, he saw that a taller and larger new wizard tower had been completed next to his original wizard tower, and even the slave workers had left.
The original four-story wizard tower was now half the height of the new one, like a pug standing at the feet of a husky.
These slave workers were professionals; they even repaired the original damaged wizard tower. Although the reassembled fourth floor did not reach the original strength, it was still a place that could shield the aura of the raging elements.
The high efficiency was so impressive that even Leo, from a race known for its infrastructure prowess, had to admire it. He had no choice but to accept it; everyone has their own expertise.
"The number of baby Gulu Beast born in the Gulu Clan is increasing, and the original first floor is clearly not enough. I will vacate the entire old wizard tower so that the Gulu Beast that have not yet reached level one can live there."
" Benji, make sure these things are arranged properly, and don't let the accommodation issue cause any chaos."
The four-story wizard tower has its good and bad aspects, and some areas above level one are inaccessible. This unfair treatment might cause some minor disturbances, and Leo doesn't want to see that happen.
"Thank you, Lord Leo. Rest assured, not a single Gulu Beast dares to utter a single 'no.' Anyone who does will die."
Benji was serious; anyone who dared to disobey him or Leo, regardless of who they were, would face certain death.
I trust you to handle things.
After Benji and the Gulu Beast moved everything from the old wizard tower to the new one, Leo had completed his move.
The five-story wizard tower, each floor exceeding thirty meters in height, does not appear cramped or small despite Leo transforming into Thunderstorm Giant. The tower's defensive array is even stronger, capable of withstanding massive energy attacks without breaking.
The spacious wizard tower was more than enough for Leo to use his magic freely; the only constant was its simplicity, with little furnishing or decoration.
Leo didn't care about material possessions, nor did he deliberately seek to enjoy them. While Yaoyao was exploring the new house, Leo had already arrived at the new laboratory.
