The Mountain Range Guardian Garijivich, looked at Leo and immediately saw through Leo flattery. He smiled and said, "Speak, is there something you want from me?"
"Hey-hey,"
Leo smiled sheepishly and pointed to the spatial passage. "My lord, you know my strength is limited, and I'm not ready to conquer this world yet. Could you perhaps stay here a little longer? Without you here, I'm afraid something might happen if the beings from the other side of the spatial passage rushed over."
"You want me to stay here so I can guard the gate for you?"
The Mountain Range Guardian stared at Leo in disbelief, unable to imagine that he would one day hear such a request.
He wanted to ask Leo if he knew what kind of world was on the other side.
It's just a tiny world that has just reached the microscopic level.
He is a top-tier guardian, a level six being according to the wizarding hierarchy!
How could they possibly send a level six guardian to guard a spatial passage in a miniature world?
He refused outright, saying, "It's impossible for me to guard the gate for you. I have many things to take care of in the past year, and I don't have time to waste here."
Seeing Leo's disappointed expression and Leo level three strength, the Mountain Range Guardian had just rejected Leo hesitated for a moment before saying, "However, I can use Wizard Will to set up a one-way seal that will prevent life from the other world from coming over for five years."
"Thank you so much, sir." Leo was so happy he almost jumped for joy.
His abilities were limited, and there were many things he couldn't do. Without spending money to invite other Stigmata Wizard, he could only turn his attention to the Guardians.
They are the only ones who ask for nothing in return and genuinely care about the Wizard World.
" The Wizard Will is the fundamental power of the Wizard World. Using it to seal a spatial passage is a waste of its potential. It's only possible for someone like you; it would be impossible for anyone else."
"Remember, you only have five years. After five years, the seal will automatically break. If beings from another world enter the Wizard World and cause damage, you will bear the corresponding responsibility. In serious cases, it is not impossible to reclaim this world," the Mountain Range Guardian warned.
"I understand. Within five years, I will definitely launch an interdimensional war and strive to spread the great Wizard Will," Leo patted his chest and made his promise.
Next, the Mountain Range Guardian Garijivich, used his Wizard Will to set up a seal on the spatial passage and told Leo that this seal could only prevent alien life from entering the Wizard World, not prevent the Wizard World from entering the alien world.
This means that Leo can start the war of conquest ahead of time, and can also conduct reconnaissance of the other world in advance, but no creature from the other world can come over.
This gave Leo a five-year head start; the Mountain Range Guardian had taken favoritism to the extreme!
After dealing with the spatial passage issue, Leo immediately returned to the academy. Just as he was about to contact the merchant guild to purchase reconnaissance equipment, the voice of the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard came from inside the crystal ball.
" Leo Xi, I know about Roderick ' matter. He handled it poorly."
"For the sake of our two families' friendship, when you conquer that world, I can allocate two thousand Body Refinement Wizard to you, including Roderick Rodchers."
"Free."
The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard emphasized the word 'free'.
"Really free?"
For Leo, the power he commands has already developed quite well. It's fair to say that for a level three individual to have grown such a force is truly terrifying.
However, the lack of Official Wizard is a major weakness; their academy produces far too few Official Wizard.
There's no way around it; training Official Wizard isn't like planting crops—you can't just sow a handful of seeds and expect them to grow into a field.
Training Official Wizard is more like raising venomous insects; only a few out of a group of venomous insects can survive to the end. For Wizard Apprentice, out of tens of thousands in the same batch, only one or two apprentices can eventually break through to the formal level.
It was truly Leo that the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard would speak of free services today.
This guy values money more than anything; hearing the word "free" from him is like the sun appearing in the night sky.
Leo's first reaction was to doubt that she had misheard.
"My lord, I was too hasty back then. I should have communicated with you first. I didn't expect it to turn out like this. Please don't blame me."
Leo was initially shocked by the word "free," and immediately apologized for his confrontation with the Undying Body Academy in front of the spatial passage, saying it was all his fault and that he was ignorant.
When faced with something like this, you shouldn't try to take it all by yourself; you should definitely discuss it with an adult.
To be honest, Leo was already grateful that the Undying Body hadn't caused Leo any trouble during their standoff before the spatial passage.
His strength was nothing more than that of a level three junior wizard who had not yet become a Stigmata Wizard.
What kind of strength Undying Body? Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard, who could easily crush Leo with a single blow. If Leo dared to express any dissatisfaction with the Undying Body, he would have to wonder if his head was tired of being on his neck and wanted to go somewhere else.
If it weren't for the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard contacting him first, he would have contacted the Undying Body immediately after finishing his current tasks to apologize—a sincere apology.
Leo was even prepared to share some of the profits!
There's no way around it, weakness is the original sin!
Unexpectedly, before he could even relinquish any benefits, the Undying Body actually offered to give it away for free—that's truly astonishing!
"That's all in the past. Now that you've gained world dominance in the Death Arena, no one will take it from you."
"My two thousand wizards are truly free. After all, I've made quite a bit of money developing resources in cooperation with you. Now that you're conquering a world with your level three strength, you're exactly the kind of person who needs help."
"If two thousand people aren't enough, I can transfer more to you, but you'll have to pay for the extra two thousand yourself."
The Undying Body would never tell Leo that his magnanimity was entirely due to his winning a million energy crystals in a bet with the God of Giants.
This million was essentially earned for him by Leo, plus the money from the thirty-five intelligence reports he sold in advance, he made a fortune!
If you add the money from selling resources through collaborative development, his profit will approach three million energy crystals!!
In his eyes, Leo was a money-making machine. Apologies and conflicts were all fake and nothing compared to the real energy crystals.
Besides, Leo is not like other Level Three Wizard. If it were anyone else, he would have kicked them away long ago. This is someone he has his eye on, so he definitely has to help him out. The stronger Leo is, the more he will earn.
"My lord, you are too kind to me. Rest assured, once I conquer this world, I will repay you handsomely."
Regardless of the reason why the Undying Body was still willing to befriend him, Leo had to lower his stance, even to the point of being willing to stay in the basement.
He couldn't afford to offend the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, so he had to keep a low profile!
He should be extremely grateful if the other party doesn't blame him!
With both sides wanting to reconcile, the two colleges have resumed their cooperative relationship.
"Poor us, when will we be able to take control of our own destiny?"
Yaoyao watched as Leo first played the victim to gain sympathy from the Mountain Range Guardian, and then insincerely flattered the Undying Body. How was this any different from Leo's constant sycophancy towards his superiors back in his workplace on Earth?
"No rush. Everything we have now is the foundation for our future strength."
Leo was very open-minded. The fact that his flattery and fawning were still effective, and that the other party still bought into it, meant that he still had value in their eyes. If it were an ordinary wizard, would their flattery and fawning even work?
They can't even get a glimpse of these important figures!
A person should feel happy to be used, because it means you are still useful in the eyes of others. If you don't even have the value to be used, then you truly have no value at all.
Having just finished a friendly exchange with the Undying Body, Meng Jie arrived with the documents.
"Sir, there are currently 87 First-Level Wizard and 3 Level Two Wizard in the academy. We have also trained 562 First-Level Wizard who are still alive and well outside the academy, and we maintain contact with them all; they can be recalled at any time."
" The Gulu Beast Legion numbers approximately 3.5 to 4 million, all distributed within the academy's territory. Level 1 forces number between 3 and 3.5 million, Level 2 forces around 500,000, and there are 18 Level 3 forces."
"Due to the extremely limited time, a definitive figure could not be calculated."
" The Wizard World's academies and New Earth Wizard Academy have a total of 5.23 million registered apprentices, of which 230,000 are High-Rank Wizard Apprentice, and the rest are mid- to low-level apprentices."
Leo was shocked when he saw the statistics Meng Jie had compiled. Did he really have such strength now?
There are 5.23 million apprentices alone—that's a terrifying number, even though they're all on the New Earth. It's still an outrageous figure.
Leo had never seen any academy with so many apprentices before.
This time, the expedition will not be conducted via a starship over extremely long distances; instead, it will be carried out directly through a spatial channel. High-level Wizard Apprentice can also enter, but their strength will be severely limited.
After all, even Official Wizard are subject to a 10% rule suppression that forcibly reduces their strength; apprentices would likely experience a 40% reduction.
High-Rank Wizard Apprentice can only exert the strength of Intermediate Wizard Apprentice.
However, the main force of this campaign was not the wizards, nor the large number of Wizard Apprentice, but the equally numerous Gulu Beast.
The army of over 3.5 million Gulu Beast, each possessing first-level strength, retained over 90% of their power even when suppressed in the world of the God of Jackals. Having undergone Bloodline modification, even 90% of their strength was still stronger than that of ordinary first-level creatures.
Looking at the statistics on the Gulu Beast, Leo nodded in approval. It was worth all the effort he had put into them. It had taken him a hundred years to improve their Bloodline, and finally, level three Gulu Beast had begun to appear, with as many as eighteen of them!
The powerful army of Gulu Beast is the source of Leo's confidence in conquering a world!
