Daniel bid farewell and returned to the Floating Ship. Natalie happily patted him on the shoulder, saying, "It's great to have you back! How's it going? Are you worried about the construction of the Wizard Tower? If you want, I can help supervise it!"
Before Daniel could respond, Albert already had a dark expression and shouted angrily.
"Get lost! You think you can take advantage of me? No way."
A fire dragon appeared and charged towards Natalie, who struggled to extinguish it and dared not bring up the matter again.
Just because she didn't dare to trouble Albert didn't mean she wouldn't trouble Daniel. She placed her hand on Daniel's shoulder and said lightly, "I heard you caught a few spies. How about I help you interrogate them?"
Daniel was about to shake his head. He knew very well that Natalie wanted to torture those spies to vent her frustration.
Her reluctance to provoke Albert didn't mean she wouldn't take it out on the spies.
Albert was too powerful, an Alchemist, with a bad temper. Anyone who went against him feared his explosive rage; no one dared face the wrath of an Alchemist.
Those spies were different. Natalie could torment them however she wanted; no one would care about their lives.
Daniel initially didn't want to agree, but suddenly, countless sparks of electricity erupted from Natalie's hand, shocking him into submission.
He seemed to forget that Natalie was also a witch who enjoyed shocking people, famously known for her move "Professor Yang's Kiss."
What surprised Natalie even more was that when she came to help Daniel, his Mental Power was only 80 points, significantly lower than hers. Now, she suddenly discovered that his Mental Power had reached at least 90 points, surpassing hers.
How could that be possible!
In just a few months, who could progress at such a rapid pace?
I wanted to ask, but seeing that Daniel was not clear about it, I refrained from inquiring further, though my surprise did not diminish. Instead, I found myself more curious about Daniel, viewing him with a different perspective.
Unable to escape from Natalie’s persistence, Daniel had no choice but to agree to let her interrogate those spies.
Reirfu approached and said, "Daniel, there's nothing going on right now. I'm going down to help guard Aolek Fortress. Call me if you need anything."
He turned to leave, his expression somewhat lonely.
Daniel noticed this and understood why. As a Wizard Seed, Reirfu was a prominent figure in the academy, yet within their team, he had the least presence.
Albert was an Alchemist responsible for creating the Wizard Tower and the necessary Magical Items; he was the most important person in the team. Without him, the ten Alchemists who received the Silver Moon Guardian Badge would be unable to produce the Wizard Tower.
Even if he didn’t manage things directly, no one dared to cross him. After all, he was an Alchemist, and the best kind at that.
Before Daniel invited him over, his orders were already lined up until graduation; he was extremely busy.
However, when Daniel asked him to come over, he simply dropped everything and canceled all his orders.
That was quite a way to offend people; being stood up like that would surely make anyone angry.
Yet now, no one had come to trouble him, which spoke volumes.
Those who could ask him to create Magical Items were certainly not mediocre. After Daniel became a Wizard Seed and wanted to ask for his help, Reirfu didn’t even acknowledge it; he was incredibly proud.
If a Wizard Seed was treated this way, it showed that those who could get his assistance were all powerful Wizard Apprentices, likely at a great cost.
But if he refused to help, then so be it; the only thing the other party could do was smile wryly and curse inwardly. That was just his capability.
Natalie Although relatively weak in strength, she is a beautiful and lively person who loves to tease others and is greedy for advantages. No one can resist her charm.
Only Albert would disregard everything else if he were provoked.
Because for him, alchemy is an obsession; what does a beautiful woman mean to him? Is she delicious?
Daniel seriously suspects that he is still a virgin.
Although Mary has the least presence, she is often absent during discussions and decisions. However, she doesn't care; even when her opinion is sought, it is often ignored.
As long as there is a battle, everything else is secondary. She does not regard external matters at all.
Only Reirfu, endowed with both gold and earth attributes, claims to "tread the earth with boundless strength." His entire skill set revolves around close combat.
But now he finds himself in the air, unable to utilize his strongest abilities, feeling utterly bored and anxious.
Daniel could only say, "Alright then, I’ll trouble you with this. Please make sure to defend Aolek Fortress."
Reirfu felt finally valued and climbed down the rope.
With Albert helping with the construction, Daniel felt very reassured. He began to busy himself with the integration of the Wizard Legion.
To unleash their strongest power, the best way for the Wizard Legion is to cast the same spell simultaneously.
Daniel had long prepared for this, improving three versions of the Fireball Spell, which he distributed in the form of a mission.
Now all that was left was to ensure they coordinated well.
At that moment, Ailek suddenly ran over. Daniel was somewhat puzzled but still approached him enthusiastically to inquire.
"Alik, why are you here? Is there a problem at Aolek Fortress?"
Alik hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Actually, it's nothing much. I've already applied to the academy to cancel my commanding mission and I'm preparing to act with you."
Daniel was greatly surprised.
"Why? Why would you do that? Haven't we been working well together?"
This was a commanding mission, and those who qualified for it were among the top apprentices in the academy, with extensive connections. How could one easily give that up?
It's important to note that the generous rewards of the mission were one aspect; the main benefit was the help it provided for future prospects.
Being able to command such a war would earn respect from others. Even after becoming a Formal Wizard, the chances of being valued would greatly increase. How could one easily abandon that?
Alik shook his head. "No, over these past few months, it's been you and me working together. You know very well what the situation is; you've been the one holding up this defense while I've mostly just been standing by.
How can I feel good about that? So I'm planning to disband my team and merge them into yours. I'm ready to follow your command. I wonder if you'll welcome that."
Daniel was slightly taken aback but then warmly embraced him, patting his shoulder. "Welcome, of course! It's my honor that you can join."
How could Daniel not be happy? This was nothing significant; it was merely a struggle over resources, akin to villages fighting over water sources during a drought. It was just a rehearsal for what would come after becoming a Formal Wizard.
However, Alik's allegiance was different. The five-person team formed by Daniel and Natalie was primarily motivated by this war.
But wasn't it also about forming a group together after becoming Formal Wizards?
They were all exceptionally talented individuals. If they were with others, there would inevitably be situations where one progressed too quickly, leaving others far behind, leading to the tragic necessity of parting ways.
Rather than that, it would be better to organize a group in advance where both sides are talented; who knows who will progress faster? Such a group could remain stable for a long time.
Now that Eric has chosen to join, he is certainly happy, as this means his team has grown stronger.
Although Eric cannot compare to them, he is still among the few at the top of the pyramid.
Not becoming a Wizard Seed was simply a matter of missed opportunity. Once given the chance to become a Wizard Seed and stand alongside them, it is even possible to surpass them.
Daniel's enthusiasm makes Eric feel better. He points to the group of Wizard Apprentices who are training and says, "How about I lead them? Aside from me, you probably understand the Fire Element Wizard Apprentices better than anyone else and can guide them. But I suppose you don't have much time for that."
"Yes, I'm actually worried about this. It would be great to have your help."
Daniel is pleased; he is also troubled by the command of the legion. Since it is based on his improved Fire Magic, the person who can lead them must be well-versed in Fire Magic.
The problem is that among them, he is the only Fire Elemental Wizard, making him the only suitable candidate. However, he has so many other responsibilities that he hardly has time for this.
He has been holding out for a suitable candidate all this time, and now that Eric has come forward to help, it's perfect.
