Herag understood this principle, he definitely wouldn’t act recklessly.
From Blake’s description, if you go from the Barren Land to the Land of Dawn without permission, that’s equivalent to illicit crossing.
If illicit crossing is discovered, you won’t just be sent back; you’ll be executed on the spot.
Herag had no doubt that the wizards of the Land of Dawn had this capability; they occupy better regions with better conditions.
Moreover, over the years, they’ve had a larger wizard population, creating a positive cycle where more outstanding wizards emerge constantly.
Herag finally understood why Augustus Academy was so unique; not only does no one dare provoke them, but they also mediate disputes between wizard organizations.
Even internally, it’s open, allowing other wizards to visit.
This is all due to their strong background and powerful strength. Latest content publıshed on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⁂𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⁂𝓷𝓮𝓽
Herag quietly took note of this matter. Although he had no way to go to the Land of Dawn at present, if there was an opportunity in the future, he would definitely seize it.
Being able to cultivate in a place with better conditions is undoubtedly the best choice, and Herag had no reason not to go.
Blake sighed, "Alas, if a talented seed like you could go there, you’d have a better development. Unfortunately, there are too many restrictions. I’ve seen countless outstanding wizards over the years stuck at the Level 1 Crystalization stage, unable to step into the Level 2 Wizard threshold. In the Land of Dawn, it’s relatively easier to break through to a Level 2 Wizard."
"They have abundant resources and have the conditions and strength to plunder from other planes, so as long as you’re talented enough, there are ample resources to nurture you. But in the Barren Land, we don’t have such conditions. For most people, advancing to an Official Wizard is already very difficult, let alone advancing to a Level 2 Wizard."
"In fact, this is also a means for the Land of Dawn to restrict the Barren Land. Without sufficient resources, we can never surpass their control."
Herag nodded, "I understand now, thank you Mr. Blake for clarifying this for me."
He finally understood why wizards like Dino and Malcolm were always in the crystalization stage.
Herag originally thought the threshold for Level 2 Wizards was too high, causing these outstanding wizards to be unable to advance for a long time.
Now it seems that resource issues severely restricted their advancement pace.
"Is Dino always at sea looking for a solution?" Herag suddenly thought of this problem.
Since the land route is blocked, he might as well look for resources in the sea.
Herag continued to ask, "Since the witch array was purchased from the Land of Dawn, does this mean you also have channels to connect with them?"
Blake nodded, "Consider them some intermediary channels; there are always some resource transactions, but they sell to us at a particularly high price."
Speaking of this, he gritted his teeth a bit, indicating that it was exceptionally expensive.
This is also understandable; the Land of Dawn controls most resources and sells them to the Barren Land, pricing them however they wish, because you have no other choice.
"Let’s go inside and talk slowly." Blake smiled as he put away the map and walked ahead.
Herag followed closely behind, with Pete driving a carriage at the back.
As Herag passed through the castle gate, he felt a magical wave sweep over his body.
Blake turned back and said, "That’s the scanning feature of the witch array, mainly to detect if you have any evil spirits or resentment, as these are usually well-hidden and troublesome to handle."
"I see." Herag nodded.
He previously had hidden evil spirits on him, and the Moonlight Forest should have had similar defensive measures, but they didn’t detect them.
If it weren’t for Lady Moran helping him deal with the evil spirit, the witch array in Black Rock Valley might also have failed to detect it.
Black Rock Valley initially had narrow paths, but after a few hundred meters, the view opened up.
In front of Herag was a vast plain, divided into many different plots like farmland, each plot growing different types of plants.
In the middle of these fields, there were wooden houses every so often, seeming to have people living in them all the time, which Herag guessed were for those tending and watching over the fields.
Blake introduced, "From here on, it’s the Cheqi Family’s Magic Potion Garden. Our Cheqi Family produces many magic potion materials every year, selling them to many wizard organizations or wizard families."
"Besides, we also refine finished magic potions for sale, or others commission us to refine magic potions for them. These are some of our business and may be among your main tasks in the future."
"With such a large Magic Potion Garden, the variety must be rich. Can I buy materials here regularly?" Herag asked.
With such a large-scale Magic Potion Garden, Herag would no longer have to worry about lacking materials for magic potion experiments.
The only thing was, he didn’t know what the rules here were.
Blake smiled, "You’re truly a qualified alchemist; of course, you can buy here. Most magic potion materials here can be used if needed, just follow the process to register, and the cost will automatically be deducted from your compensation."
"By the way, you will earn a compensation of one hundred Magic Stones per month. If you receive any alchemy tasks, each one will come with a separate commission. In reality, most of an alchemist’s income comes from these orders. When using the magic potion materials here, prices are much lower than market prices; you’ll find magic potion materials surprisingly cheap."
Herag smiled, "That’s pretty nice."
Since this is the origin, the magic potion materials can naturally be priced very low.
As a single individual, Herag wouldn’t use much magic potion material, so to the Cheqi Family, it was negligible.
Moreover, this can be seen as part of the cost of nurturing an alchemist.
Receiving compensation of one hundred Magic Stones per month was more than satisfactory for Herag.
He never asked Larry about compensation before, as his main purpose in coming here was to have a safe environment to develop, making compensation the least important issue.
Furthermore, Herag believed Larry wouldn’t treat him poorly.
"That’s Mandrake over there, and over there is Stone Root Grass..."
Blake led Herag along the roads between the fields, introducing the magic potion materials planted around, and Herag took notes of them all.
"Alright, you can learn more slowly later. Let’s go to your residence."
Blake led Herag all the way to a broad crossroad, heading north with Herag.
"Here’s where you’ll live from now on."
Blake brought Herag to a castle and turned around to say.
