Just as Charlotte was lost in thought, Meng Mengmeng approached. "Master Charlotte, the Dean requests your presence. Please come with me to the Gnoll World."
"Good,"
Looking at Meng Mengmeng, the Official Wizard he had trained during his time at the academy, he never expected that in the blink of an eye, she would become the vice dean of the academy, replacing his former position.
Led by Meng Mengmeng, Charlotte passed through the spatial passage and saw Leo not far away, where the wizards under her command were lining up to report on their work.
Once Level Three Legendary Great Wizard, now Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard!
When they first met, they were still at level one, and they never imagined that while they were still at level two, Leo had already become Level Four Stigmata Wizard!
Although she didn't feel any pressure from the Stigmata Level, Charlotte still felt an unprecedented pressure in Leo.
Charlotte stood aside listening to the reports for a long time. Only after all the wizards had finished reporting did it come to his turn. "Greetings, esteemed Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard!"
Leo looked at Charlotte without any expression and said calmly, "Is there something you need this time? If you want to represent Green Cottage to discuss cooperation, I think that's unnecessary."
"The loan I owed to Green Cottage has been paid off, and I have no other business dealings with you."
Leo fulfilled his earlier vow and paid off the loan for Green Cottage in one go after reselling the first batch of Gnoll.
If it weren't for the Supreme Lord behind Green Cottage, he would have wanted to expel Green Cottage from his academy.
Charlotte sensed the distance in Leo's tone and immediately said, "Respected Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard, I failed to clearly convey your requests and the higher-ups' instructions before, which caused some misunderstanding regarding the compensation issue."
"After a thorough investigation by our merchant guild's leadership, we discovered the problem lay with me. They specifically sent me to deliver this apology to you, sir."
After Charlotte finished speaking, she took out ten wizard rings and respectfully handed them to Leo.
"This is one million level-one mechanical puppets and one hundred thousand level-two mechanical puppets. This is our apology and also our congratulations on your advancement to Stigmata Wizard."
Leo didn't take the Wizard Ring, acting as if he hadn't seen it, but instead looked at Charlotte and asked pointedly, "Is this the intention of the Element Controller Stigmata Great Wizard, or your merchant guild's own?"
The Element Controller Stigmata Great Wizard —that's the title Charlotte mentioned during their confrontation before the spatial passage.
Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard is someone Leo can't afford to offend!
This time, Charlotte came to apologize, but she didn't mention the Stigmata Great Wizard at all. Instead, she kept talking about Green Cottage. Leo had to find out whose apology this was.
Faced with Leo's question, Charlotte hesitated and struggled, as if countless thoughts were flashing through her mind in an instant.
But this is a question he cannot answer, and no matter what he does, it will have serious consequences.
Charlotte remained silent, frozen in place with the sorcerer's ring in hand.
Just when Charlotte thought Leo would refuse or have some other angry reaction, Leo instead took the ten wizard rings from his hand.
"I understand. I accept your apology. You can go back now."
"You're welcome to come back and visit whenever you have free time. After all, the academy's achievements today are a result of your hard work."
"Thank you Stigmata Wizard."
Charlotte didn't dare to look up; she simply turned around slowly, her body trembling, and quickly left through the spatial passage.
"Then whose apology is this?" Yaoyao tilted her head and looked at Leo.
"It definitely isn't that Element Controller Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard, otherwise Charlotte wouldn't be afraid to say it directly."
Leo glanced at the puppet in the wizard's ring, his interest waning. Adding flowers to brocade is never as joyful as providing charcoal in the snow.
He casually tossed the magic ring to Hu Jianxing, who was standing to the side, saying, "You guys decide what to do. With these mechanical puppets, the war can proceed much faster."
"I only have one request: to minimize casualties while maintaining the pace of progress. Compensation is money too."
"Yes, Dean."
Hu Jianxing almost trembled as he caught the ten magic rings. He had heard Charlotte's words; there were one million level-one mechanical puppets and one hundred thousand level-two mechanical puppets here. Such power was meant for him to wield...
Feeling the intense gazes fixed upon them, countless wizards were driven mad with envy in that instant, including Level Three Great Wizard like Roderick.
To put it bluntly, such power is more than enough to conquer the current Gnoll World!
Such immense power and such great honor were bestowed upon him, a Level One Lesser Wizard. His excitement and exhilaration were beyond words!
Leo disregarded the impact his casual actions would have on the lower-level wizards; such power was no longer a concern for him!
Whether it's 500,000 mechanical puppets or 1 million mechanical puppets, they are all things he can easily wipe out.
To him, these things were more like price tags, simply a measure of value!
Leo didn't realize that his mindset had undergone a huge change after he was promoted to Stigmata Wizard, and it was completely different from his mindset when he was at a lower level.
After dealing with several matters that required his decision, Leo stepped through the spatial passage and returned from the Gnoll World to the Atomic Control Wizard Academy.
The Mountain Range Guardian have moved the former spatial passage to within the academy, making it easier for the wizarding army to wage war and also allowing Leo to avoid lingering too long in the Wizard World.
Before he returned to the wizarding academy, he had already notified the students to stay away to avoid being accidentally injured by Leo's appearance, so no one could see Leo when he stepped out of the spatial passage.
His gaze swept across the entire academy. It was only a matter of time before they conquered the Gnoll World. The academy's predicament had vanished, and it had officially ushered in a golden opportunity for development.
Looking at the floating island in the sky, Alice's Ice Palace is still there. The Shadow Space has not yet fully evolved and cannot be used. She can only take the Ice Palace away after the Shadow Space has fully evolved.
Alice will always be a source of pain for Leo. As his strength increases, he is determined to find a way to revive Alice.
Not far away was the teleportation array leading to the Stigmata Wizard Demiplane. As the teleportation array was activated, Leo left the Wizard World. This departure meant that unless he launched an expedition, he would hardly be able to return.
Guardian Wizard oversee the entire Wizard World, and Stigmata Wizard who appears in the Wizard World without prior notification will face severe punishment!
Leo left the Wizard World a year after becoming Stigmata Wizard, and was already receiving extra care from the Mountain Range Guardian.
As the spatial fluctuations subsided, Leo appeared on a demiplane—this was his future home!
Leo looked at his own demiplane. Before this, he had seen the demiplane of the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard, the demiplane of the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, and the demiplane of the Supreme Lord the Sword of Winter.
Each demiplane has its own unique characteristics, whether it's abundant in fire element or extremely large in area.
Or... needless to say, those with Undying Body.
In short, they are all demiplanes built based on the original form of the Stigmata Wizard. While ensuring that the Stigmata Wizard has the best living environment, they can also raise a large number of expedition slaves.
"What a beautiful demiplane."
Yaoyao looked at the vast grassland and said with satisfaction.
The demiplanes of the Stigmata Wizard are fragments of those worlds that were once captured by the Wizard World and sent to the shattered world.
These fragile worlds are like shattered glass bottles, which the Guardian Wizard pick through, selecting the usable parts and distributing them to the Stigmata Wizard or using them for other purposes.
Just like Earth in the past, it's unknown whether it will become a demiplane for some Stigmata Wizard. It's highly unlikely, because there is no elemental energy on Earth. Only some crazy Stigmata Wizard would choose such a demiplane.
"Let's go see our new home."
Leo laughed and flew into the sky, taking Yaoyao on a leisurely stroll throughout the demiplane, where they found a new home and examined every detail.
This is a demiplane teeming with life, featuring grasslands, forests, lakes, and half a mountain range. The climate is mild, and many small animals live here, making it suitable for most flesh-and-blood creatures to survive and reproduce.
Leo spent several days reading through the entire demiplane, and it was indeed very impressive. It was 1,000 kilometers long and 700 kilometers wide on average. For a Level Four Stigmata Wizard to build a demiplane, this area would be more than enough.
Although the demiplane itself has incomplete rules, it is not a problem under the influence of the Wizard Will.
All the demiplanes of the Stigmata Wizard revolve around the Wizard World itself. Leo looked up to one side and could directly see the vast universe and countless starlight.
Looking to the other side, there was a vast world, and even though it was far away, Leo could not see the edge of this world at a glance.
Compared to this world, his small plane is as insignificant as a speck of dust!
This is the true form of the Wizard World, appearing in the universe with an unimaginably exaggerated size. The demiplanes of the Stigmata Wizard, and some smaller worlds, are merely satellites of this Wizard World.
The Stigmata Wizard serve as protectors of the Wizard World, forming the most effective defense against invasions from other worlds or powerful beings.
"We will build a wizard's tower here, establish a large laboratory, and move all kinds of large-scale experiments and development projects here."
"We can also dig underground and create a new space to expand the usable area."
Leo pointed to his demiplane and explained.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this demiplane will accompany him throughout his life, until the end of his life or the end of time.
Even if he advances to a higher level, he will only continue to grow within this demiplane, rather than changing demiplanes.
