At level two, the prototype of the Stigmata Wizard's slave army is already complete. Once it reaches the Stigmata Level, it can immediately complete its own combat system.
Not to mention wizards of the same level, even among Level Three Great Wizard, very few wizards can achieve this level.
Leo surveyed his territory. He hadn't returned for fifty years, and the Wizard Tower remained largely unchanged. For Leo and Alice, whose lifespans exceeded two thousand years, fifty years was merely one-fortieth of their lifespan.
That's equivalent to just two years of a human's lifespan on Earth!
During these fifty years, they experienced the lives of ordinary people, but they didn't do nothing. Most of their mental energy was used for studying, and only a small part of their mental energy was used to experience the lives of ordinary people.
Leo was unaware of Alice's specific situation, but Leo very clear about his own. He had already finished studying all the books available. He wouldn't dare say he had mastered them perfectly, but he was certain that his current Wizard System was extremely comprehensive.
Just like the third-level elemental side, he had a feeling that as long as he took one step forward, he could easily cross over and accomplish the feat of hand-crafting a nuclear bomb.
The only regret is that after fifty years, there has been no hope of advancing to the third level of body refinement.
The Bloodline Power firmly kept Leo out, preventing him from making any progress.
According to the wizard's notes of the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard, he must advance in both simultaneously, otherwise it will seriously affect his future wizarding path.
Even though Leo could easily advance to the Level Three Elemental Great Wizard now, he still had to wait for the opportunity to break through his Bloodline Power.
If one had to pinpoint the greatest progress made in the past fifty years, Leo could only say that the space system had made the most progress.
He is creating his own space-based magic based on the theory of relativity, but so far it is still in the theoretical stage.
The spatial magic system truly lives up to its reputation as the most difficult magic system, possessing a solid theoretical foundation yet having not created any specific magic spells.
Back in the Wizard's Tower, they could no longer be together every day like ordinary people, but they still spent their days happily.
Previously, Leo had never cared about the lives of the Gulu Beast or the management of their territory.
But Alice was more interested in that.
By combining the resources from both territories, along with Leo and her energy crystals, Alice attempted to increase the chances of Gulu Beast advancing to level two.
"Although the expeditionary war can increase the chances of Gulu Beast advancing in rank, the casualty rate of the war is too high. If we could double the advancement rate of our Gulu Beast, it would be a great help to the expedition," Alice said.
Upon hearing Alice's suggestion, Leo immediately offered up all his resources for Alice to use.
Alice, who had advanced to level two, also began to intentionally train slaves. With Leo around and the Gulu Beast with such good aptitude, Alice no longer needed to find any slaves; she could just use these Gulu Beast.
They've been married for so many years, and have even spent their entire lives in the ordinary world; there's nothing between them.
Just as Leo was lying under the Tree of Life Tree of Life, enjoying the gentle breeze it brought, he saw Alice walking over with a slightly nervous expression.
"What's wrong?" Leo immediately stood up and asked with concern.
"My teacher messaged me, asking me to return to the Purple Flame Academy, saying there's something I need to take care of." A complex look of worry appeared in Alice's eyes.
"Don't be afraid, I'll go back with you. We can make up for the marriage proposal that was delayed for fifty years. If possible, we'll hold a grand wedding at the Purple Flame Academy."
Leo held Alice's hands, which were a little cold, and assumed she was nervous and scared because of their relationship.
They made their lifelong commitment without the consent of their elders!
"Maybe I should just go back by myself. I have a feeling something's off about the teacher; I'm worried something might happen."
Alice did not relax despite Leo's reassurance; instead, she remained deeply worried, the anxiety in her eyes never fading.
"Then I'll definitely go back with you. With me here, you don't need to be afraid of anything."
Before Alice could refuse, Leo waved to someone in the distance, and Benji and Yaoyao instantly ran over.
"Let's go to the Purple Flame Academy."
"Yes, Lord Leo." Benji smiled.
"Great! We can get married and have cake now!"
Yaoyao jumped up with joy. Leo had said countless times that he would go to the Purple Flame Academy to propose marriage, and this trip was definitely for that purpose. He loved excitement the most.
" Leo..." Alice called out Leo's name, but Leo interrupted her before she could finish.
"Trust me, I'm here for you." Leo hugged Alice tightly, patting her back gently to soothe her anxiety.
Alice buried her head in Leo's chest and hugged Leo tightly; she felt terrible.
But she couldn't pinpoint what was wrong; it was just a bad feeling!
They set off that day, traveling from the office teleportation array to the central teleportation array, and then it took three months of travel to reach the Purple Flame Wizard Academy.
There weren't many people, only Leo, Alice, Yaoyao, Benji.
When I came out of the Purple Flame Academy teleportation array, I saw that the entire academy was in a bit of a mess, and the aura of Official Wizard was everywhere.
The teleportation arrays lit up in waves, and one after another, wizards with surprised expressions emerged from them, seemingly unsure why there were so many wizards.
Leo released his senses and found that there were hardly any Wizard Apprentice in the entire academy; all the wizards were at least level one.
The number has exceeded 20,000 and is still increasing.
"These are all students who graduated from the academy. Why did the teacher call them back?" Alice looked at the wizards everywhere and recognized many of them, all of whom had graduated many years ago.
"Let's go see Alexander."
Leo suppressed his initial joy at coming to propose marriage. The Purple Flame Academy before him was clearly in trouble, a situation far more serious than the invasion by the Black Skull Academy.
These students who graduate from the academy are not subordinate to the academy's power; only the academy's teachers are directly under the academy's power.
It would be difficult for a normal college to bring these graduates back, because the relationships between them weren't as important as one might imagine.
Often these wizards do not obey the academy's orders, but in the current situation, Purple Flame Academy has still managed to recall most of its wizards.
This indicates that the problems facing the academy are far greater than those encountered during the Black Skull Academy invasion.
Moreover, such an order cannot be issued by the Dean; only the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard is qualified to issue such an order.
The wizards graduating from the academy this time will only give Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard this much face.
The entire academy was in chaos. As Leo and Alice ventured deeper into the academy, they discovered that not only had the wizards who had graduated from the academy returned, but wizards from wizarding families within the academy's territory had also come back.
They even saw quite a few wizards who didn't belong to the academy; they seemed to have been hired.
Purple Flame Academy summoned almost every wizard they could find.
Leo and Alice found Alexander, who had a worried look on her face, in the highest wizarding tower within the academy.
"What's wrong with the Dean? Why has he suddenly summoned so many wizards?"
In response to Alice's question, Alexander first looked at Leo and Alice, sensing the mingling atmosphere between them, and then smiled.
Congratulations to you both!
"Thank you very much, Dean." Leo chuckled.
"Dean, what exactly happened?"
Alice watched the two men chuckling to themselves, and felt annoyed enough to stomp her feet. The important thing now was to figure out what had happened, not the relationship between the two men.
"I don't know the specifics of what happened, but a year ago, the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard suddenly issued an order to summon back all the wizards he could, and he also spent a lot of money to hire wandering wizards. Currently, the number of wizards in the academy has exceeded 30,000, and it is expected to reach 50,000 in six months."
Purple Flame Academy is not a large gathering place for wizards like the Tower of Elements; the academy's role is to train apprentice-level wizards.
The number of Official Wizard, numbering in the tens of thousands, has far exceeded the academy's capacity to accommodate them. In just one year, the resources in the academy's treasury have already been depleted.
"Is it an expedition?" Leo asked.
"I'm not sure, but it's probably not," Alexander said, shaking her head.
"I'm going to another dimension to see my teacher."
"No, the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard won't see anyone, not even me now." Alexander smiled bitterly. If he could see the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard, he wouldn't be so worried.
Alice didn't believe it and took out her crystal ball to contact them, but after a long while, there was no response from the other side.
"This has been the case for the past two hundred years. I haven't seen the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard for over 150 years," Alexander said weakly.
The dean of an academy is essentially the head steward of Stigmata Wizard; if he can't even see Stigmata Wizard, that's definitely not normal.
"Have any unusual activities been observed from surrounding colleges in recent years?" Leo asked.
"As before, it's normal to create minor skirmishes from time to time to reduce the number of apprentices, but a large-scale invasion like the one by the Black Skull Academy hasn't happened in a long time."
Leo frowned slightly. It wasn't a problem with the surrounding academies, and they were going on an expedition anyway, so why bring so many wizards back?
"You don't need to guess anymore. The Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard said he would appear at the right time to explain these issues. Now let's wait."
"Now that you're married, you're both members of the academy. The lower floor isn't occupied yet, so you can stay here for now. I predict that within a year, you'll know exactly what the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard is planning."
"All right."
Leo and Alice exchanged a glance and could only nod in agreement.
