Charlotte was referring to the events that occurred in the Black Skull territory back then.
Because that place was once teeming with countless slave armies and fought fiercely with wizards, countless lives were buried on that land.
When Leo left the main battlefield, he said that the territory stained with blood would surely be lush with vegetation next year.
The problem now lies in the remnants of that battlefield.
Too many lives have died, and all of them were level one or higher. Their blood has long since soaked that territory. Even after a hundred years, the vegetation there still grows better than in other places. After all, the blood of those level one or higher beings is a precious resource containing a lot of energy.
For ordinary beings, the land there can be used as a cultivation resource, truly allowing them to advance in rank simply by eating soil.
This resulted in the emergence of a territory with even greater energy and abundant resources right next to Leo's territory!
Most importantly, it's unclaimed territory!!
Charlotte's documents state that the precious medicinal herbs, mutated mines, and even the wild beasts living in that territory are five to six times more valuable than the resources produced here.
Charlotte had originally planned to send apprentices of average or higher strength to the former Black Skull territory to train and mine resources.
However, the wild beasts there, nourished by the energy-rich land, have become much stronger, and the apprentices alone cannot extract much of the resources.
Charlotte had previously kept the apprentices' training positions in place in order to carry out Leo's order to reduce the number of apprentices.
Although the number of apprentices was depleted, the amount of resources extracted was not significant.
As the butler of Green Cottage, Charlotte's heart bled as she watched those precious resources being devoured by ignorant beasts every day.
Taking advantage of Leo's return, we must devise a feasible mining plan to mine as much as possible before the next owner appears in that territory. If possible, we should even bring back the soil from there.
In their current situation, their manpower and strength are too weak; they can't even manage the affairs of their own territory, let alone venture into more dangerous territories.
They watched helplessly as the resources of the other side's territory were wasted Heavenly Capital.
Leo pounded his knees and asked, "How many Gulu Beast Clan have they reached now?"
"Due to resource constraints, we cannot allow the breeding of Gulu Beast to proceed unchecked. Currently, there are 1.03 million Gulu Beast Clan in our territory. I am unsure of the number of Gulu Beast on New Earth, while the number of Gulu Beast in the Tower of Elements is around 100,000."
"75% of the total are Level 1, 25% are Level 2, and there are no Level 3 life forms yet, but according to my investigation, I predict that Level 3 Gulu Beast will appear within fifty years."
Charlotte knew everything about the Gulu Beast Clan, the strongest force in the territory.
This is the most important force in ensuring the safety of the academy. Without these Gulu Beast, the teachers alone would not be able to guarantee the safety of the academy.
To put it bluntly, the entire academy is built upon the race of the Gulu Beast; it is because of them that the academy can develop steadily.
It's a pity that the academy has always been in deficit and can't afford to support too many Gulu Beast. Reaching the million level is almost the limit for the academy.
Speaking of the Gulu Beast, Charlotte greatly admired Dean Leo's foresight; a Level Three Great Wizard had already cultivated an army of over a million slaves.
Any other Level Three Great Wizard could devour an army of slaves, let alone a million.
Judging from the current development trend, once Leo advances to the Stigmata, he will not be one of those newly promoted Stigmata Wizard with weak foundations.
He has a slave army if he wants, a wizarding class if he wants, a world at his disposal, and a territory. After a short period of adjustment, he can be almost on par with those Stigmata Wizard who have been advanced for thousands of years.
The current economic crisis is simply because, with only level three strength, I've been developing like Level Four Stigmata Wizard —I've taken too big a step.
"Now that the number of Gulu Beast has exceeded one million, let's deploy 500,000 Gulu Beast to quickly mine the resources of the former Black Skull territory, taking as much as we can."
"Sir, I've used this trick before, it didn't work," Charlotte stopped Leo.
"Why?" Leo looked at Charlotte in confusion. If the Wizard Apprentice's strength was lacking, was the Gulu Beast also inadequate?
" The Gulu Beast army is large in number, and their strength is sufficient to deal with the beasts of the former Black Skull territory, but their knowledge is limited. They only recognize a small portion of the resources, and they don't recognize most of them."
"When I sent them there before, there was a ridiculous incident where they mistook precious medicinal herbs worth a hundred energy crystals for weeds, and weeds for medicinal herbs."
"Then what do you suggest we do?" Leo suddenly looked at Charlotte. Since Charlotte said that, she must have a solution.
"I hope the Dean will recall those apprentices from New Earth. Their strength may be lacking, but their knowledge is not a problem. As long as they team up with the Gulu Beast, it will be the best solution," Charlotte said after glancing at Leo and observing his reaction.
"Hehe, Charlotte, we've known each other for almost a thousand years. How come I had no idea when you learned this veiled way of speaking?"
Leo teased Charlotte, clearly having already come up with this plan, but instead of saying it directly, he brought it up indirectly.
"You jest, Dean. I suppose most of them are dead by now. Those who remain must be exceptionally talented. Keeping them on New Earth would be a waste of their potential. It would be better to bring them to the Wizard World to continue contributing," Charlotte said with a smile.
He made no attempt to conceal why Leo had transferred so many mid-level apprentices back to the New Earth. Instead, he explicitly told Leo that he knew Leo had killed most of the apprentices, and that what he wanted were not the dead apprentices, but the living ones.
"Alright, I'll do as you say. Go ahead and make the arrangements. You know everyone on New Earth, so just relay the orders yourself."
Leo didn't hesitate or refuse at all, and directly let Charlotte make the arrangements herself. The disasters on the New Earth were coming to an end, and it didn't matter if these apprentices weren't there; humanity could handle it on its own.
"Thank you, Dean," Charlotte said.
Charlotte finished speaking and left quickly; he needed to arrange how this matter would proceed.
"Did he do something we don't know about?" Yaoyao suddenly appeared and asked, watching Charlotte's departing figure.
Charlotte was not Leo's direct descendant; she was a member of the Green Cottage Merchant Group, which belonged to the Supreme Lord Green Cottage. Therefore, Charlotte was one of the Supreme Lord's people.
Charlotte was initially the one who was directly handed over to Leo for the handover of the New Earth. After the handover of the New Earth was completed, Charlotte was placed in the academy as the manager of the Green Cottage shop.
It's clearly abnormal to have a Level-Two Elemental Wizard doing the work of an apprentice.
Although Leo later hired him as the vice dean to handle the college's affairs, it was entirely because Leo was short-handed. Having someone was good enough; there was no reason to consider whether this person had any problems with his background.
It now appears that Charlotte's role was not so simple after all.
Hearing Yaoyao's question, Leo picked up the academy's century-long development report. He hadn't noticed it before, but now that he looked at it carefully, it seemed that Charlotte valued the development of the original Black Skull Academy territory. On average, half of the Wizard Apprentice died on that land.
They don't seem to care as much about their own college's territory.
Leo placed his palm on the academy's century-old records. Besides the relatively abundant resources, were there any other things in that territory that required special attention?
If it weren't for something exceptionally important, why would Charlotte be so determined to develop that territory, just for those relatively valuable resources?
"Let's not talk about him anymore. How's my Godslaying Wizard Robe? It's over a hundred years old, it should be repaired by now, right?" Leo looked at Yaoyao.
During the great battle with the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard, both Godslaying Set were destroyed. The Godslaying Staff was fused with the Tree of Life by Leo, while the Godslaying Wizard Robe was taken by Yaoyao for repairs. Leo paid a considerable price for this.
More than a hundred years have passed, and Yaoyao has never mentioned the wizard's robe. If Leo hadn't brought it up today, who knows when Yaoyao would have taken the initiative to talk about it.
Sometimes Leo even wondered if Yao Yaoyao had sold his wizard robes!
Yaoyao didn't sell it. Facing Leo's question, she smiled and said as if she wanted to take credit, "It's almost done. I placed the Godslaying Wizard Robe in the projection of the Tree of Life in the Shadow World. When your Godslaying Staff is finished, the Wizard Robe will be ready too. There might be some unexpected surprises then."
"Then I'll wait for your good news."
Leo wasn't in a hurry. He had already sensed it when he returned that the Tree of Life would be able to drain the energy from the branches of the World Tree in another ten years or so. In other words, his Godslaying Staff would be ready to use in ten years or so.
Since the wizard's robe and the Godslaying Staff were repaired together, it had only been a little over ten years, and he was really looking forward to the unexpected surprise Yaoyao had mentioned.
The higher Yao Yaoyao abilities and role become; he is no longer just a simple soul partner.
Knowing that his wizard robes and staff would be restored in a little over ten years, Leo didn't go anywhere. Instead, he stayed on the floating island to guard the Tree of Life and remotely direct the development of the academy.
Half a month later, the spatial passage was opened, and Charlotte led a group of Wizard Apprentice to the New Earth. Then, more than a month later, she brought back 30,000 Wizard Apprentice of intermediate or higher strength, as well as all the Official Wizard.
These Wizard Apprentice are the Wizard Apprentice who survived the global catastrophe on New Earth. 100,000 went back, but only 30,000 returned, a mortality rate as high as 70%.
Leo watched as Charlotte arranged for these apprentices to lead the Gulu Beast to the former Black Skull territory to mine resources.
He wouldn't interfere or care about this matter; he had already entrusted it entirely to Charlotte, so he wouldn't concern himself with it at all.
If Charlotte really has other intentions, they will be exposed sooner or later.
Before Charlotte could reveal her true feelings, Leo received a call from the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard.
