At that time, in the First Circle wizard large office of the Rose Council's Breeder Academy, several other First Circle crystallization wizards looked over. One wizard even asked the inventor of [Pink Lover], "Raphael, what's worth getting so angry about?"

"Isn't today the day your Pink Lover magic bouquet goes on sale? Even the dean praised your recent great progress in floristry."

Raphael picked up his Lingzhi magical plant and immediately displayed his cooperator backend interface in the air before him.

On the True Love Festival total sales ranking list on September 1st, tenth place wasn't [Pink Lover], or even any magic bouquet, but a defensive magical plant called Five-Headed Hydra magical plant.

In the office, many First Circle wizards were stunned when they saw this scene.

Many First Circle wizards from the Rose Council chose to take out their Lingzhi magical plants to observe the ranking list.

Raphael's face looked ugly as he said, "See that? This breeder's published magical plant squeezed my Pink Lover bouquet off the ranking list during True Love Festival, which our Rose Council Academy spent massive funds to establish."

While speaking, Five-Headed Hydra magical plant rose another place on the total sales ranking, ranking to eighth place.

Immediately, Raphael turned to look at the ranking list somewhat incredulously, frowning.

In the office, a First Circle crystallization stage wizard who was the author of the original ninth place [Blue Romance] magic bouquet also frowned and stood up in the large office. "What's the background of this Five-Headed Hydra? It's actually dominating our rankings on the day promoted by our Rose Council?"

"Generally speaking, don't breeders from other Cloud Marsh Wetland academies try to avoid selling non-magic bouquet magical plant works on September 1st True Love Festival?"

"Even if they wanted to dominate our rankings, they should at least produce a magic bouquet on this day to compete with our Rose Council using us florists' skills."

"We're the ones who defined the rules for True Love Festival this day."

At this time, First Circle wizards from the Rose Council in the office discussed animatedly.

Even some Second Circle wizard leaders in the office now put down their work, frowning as they opened their Lingzhi magical plants to look at Arthas's ranking list.

At this time, during their discussions, Locke's Five-Headed Hydra rose another place, currently at sixth place on the total sales ranking list.

Raphael suddenly thought of something and quickly searched for information, having his friend at the Rose Council's Universal Scholar Academy investigate the name Locke Augustine. "I remember now, Golden Crown Mountain, Advanced Origin Academy, Locke Augustine, the publisher of this Five-Headed Hydra should be a wizard from outside Cloud Marsh Wetland who just entered Cloud Marsh Wetland this year!"

"He's the champion of the 10th Cloud Marsh Cup!"

Immediately, other First Circle wizards in the office also recalled Locke's identity.

After all, many of them had subscribed to the 10th Cloud Marsh Cup competition videos and live broadcasts.

"Right, I remember now. Isn't this the champion of the 10th Cloud Marsh Cup?"

"Worthy of being our Cloud Marsh Cup champion. This level is truly impressive. I heard this year's Cloud Marsh Cup had very high gold content!"

"Five-Headed Hydra magical plant... This Five-Headed Hydra magical plant can stack five permanent defensive fields on oneself. Plus one's original one, that means using this tactical-level magical plant can stack six permanent defensive fields on oneself! It's just that the magical power consumption is really too much. Even if an individual can barely use it, after a major battle, they probably won't even have the ability to continue moving."

At this time, a Rose Council wizard in the office looked at the product introduction. His thoughts stirred. "But such enormous casting cost also means the Five-Headed Hydra magical plant is powerful. My permanent defensive field is [Twin Shield], I can summon Ice Flower Shield and Fire Flower Shield, switching between them in any situation to respond to different crises."

"Originally I could only constantly switch between two shields with great limitations, but with the Five-Headed Hydra magical plant, couldn't I use both shields simultaneously? When encountering danger, I can also cooperate with my friends to stack our own permanent defensive field shields!"

At this moment, his thoughts stirred. He coughed and secretly glanced at everyone in the office, then secretly contacted his student to go to Arthas shops in the Golden Crown Mountain district to purchase Five-Headed Hydra magical plant.

He wasn't the only wizard present with such thoughts.

At that time, many First Circle wizards within the Rose Council all had stirring thoughts.

Some First Circle wizards possessing special permanent defensive field inheritances now all had needs to purchase Five-Headed Hydra magical plant.

The only fly in the ointment was that Five-Headed Hydra magical plant still consumed too much magical power. They had read the product introduction and estimated that without approaching First Circle crystallization stage magical pressure, that is about 9000 magical pressure, there was no need to even buy Five-Headed Hydra magical plant, because individual wizards couldn't use this magical plant at all.

At this time, in a shop in the Golden Crown Mountain district, a wizard wearing black robes stiffly walked into the shop under other wizards' strange gazes.

Black cloth strips were tied around his face, completely covering his facial features.

At this moment, he saw a magic vine placed on a sycamore wood display stand inside the shop.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Five-Headed Hydra?"

"Can make one's body stack six permanent defensive fields? Douglas, you can purchase this magical plant. You need it. I didn't expect wizards of later generations to have such ability. Truly wonderful."

"It seems that no matter the era, there's no shortage of geniuses."

This person spoke again in a young voice, "But Laghemaon Wizard King, I'm just an ordinary First Circle wizard. I can't use that magical plant."

"Moreover, I'm not even a botany wizard."

Wizard King Laghemaon laughed coldly, "With me here, you can use it. The special permanent defensive field [Five Elements Reversal] I taught you, that's a masterpiece from the Evocation School's [Lightning Gate], a cross-disciplinary work combining lightning studies, flame studies, ice studies and other evocation magic. It's powerful ancient magic that should have been lost in your era."

"It can use five permanent defensive fields simultaneously, but originally required assistance from Five Elements Wizard Stones to achieve this. But we can't find Five Elements Wizard Stones for the moment. Originally I thought you'd have difficulty fully unleashing [Five Elements Reversal]'s power in a short time."

"But unexpectedly, in this era, there are breeders who bred special magical plants that can stack permanent defensive fields. That's excellent. With this magical plant, you don't need to search for world wonders like Five Elements Wizard Stones."

Wizard King Laghemaon said in a low voice, "Then our original plan to infiltrate Golden Crown Mountain can be cancelled. With this magical plant, going to Golden Crown Mountain or Holy Spring Mountain to search for Five Elements Wizard Stones becomes unnecessary."

Douglas heard that he could fully unleash [Five Elements Reversal]'s power through Five-Headed Hydra magical plant. His eyes immediately flashed with intense interest.

"One hundred thousand magic stones... But I only have eighty thousand magic stones in savings. Looks like I can only get a loan... But my current identity can't get loans from the Big Five Banks."

"I can only get loans from small banks. This will encounter trouble."

Wizard King Laghemaon emitted a low laugh. "That's just a small matter. What's most interesting about wizards of this era is they follow rules very well. Perhaps I slept too long and haven't quite caught up with the times."

"After the Magic Empire's collapse, in the Era of Stars formed after the Imperial Era passed, money that reached my hands had no reason to be returned. It's just that Douglas, as per the contract we signed, I'll help you become a Second Circle wizard, and you must also pay in return."

"You must help me evade pursuit from the [Black Sun Tower]!"

Douglas nodded. "Of course. It's just, Wizard King Laghemaon, why have I searched for so long about Black Sun Tower but found no information about them?"

"Logically, I've become a formal wizard. If I deliberately investigate, it's impossible to find nothing about Black Sun Tower."

Wizard King Laghemaon said in a low voice, "I don't know. In my era, who didn't know Black Sun Tower's great name?"

"Black Sun Tower was once the mastermind managing the Era of Stars, the leader directly causing the unified wizard world's Magic Empire to completely collapse. The sun has set, the dark sun fills the sky, from then on there's no master in heaven, returning ten thousand years of freedom to wizards. This was Black Sun Tower's once proclamation to this world."

"Black Sun Tower was very, very powerful and possessed special ambitions. They personally ended the wizard imperial system era. But your era... I still need to observe more. Those existences I was very familiar with have now all disappeared or become unrecognizable."

"For example, in my era, the so-called Three Marsh Lands was still considered barbaric frontier in the wizard world. The so-called Star Domain Sea didn't exist at all, just an uninhabited wasteland. But in your era, the Three Marsh Lands and Star Domain Sea, plus Dragon Fall Land and Four Brightness Waters, are the center of this era..."

"Everything is too different. So I don't know what Black Sun Tower has become now. Also don't know who's really in charge in this era! Supreme Truth Council? What is that..."

Douglas thought cautiously. Wizard King Laghemaon was a powerful wizard from the past. He didn't even know how many Circles this Wizard King had been.

It was said he was a Wizard King of a magic kingdom among the numerous magic kingdoms formed by numerous wizard lords in the Era of Stars.

However, Douglas knew that currently this Wizard King's soul parasitized his soul, merged as one with him.

And this Wizard King who could help him grow from a wizard apprentice with average talent in the Three Marsh Lands to become a formal wizard could definitely help him go further.

This Wizard King was the key for him to become a Second Circle wizard.

Douglas said in a low voice, "Of course, Wizard King. I will protect you from Black Sun Tower's pursuit. I've always remembered our agreement."

Wizard King Laghemaon said in a low voice, "However, you'd better prepare to purchase more of this wizard's magical plant works. Five Elements Reversal's energy is very powerful. Plus you're not a botany wizard, so I can only use special methods to forcibly let you use this magical plant..."

"Therefore, I estimate this magical plant's consumption rate will be very high. And for you to obtain resources, especially those special magic treasures I sealed up before dying in my memories, you must venture into countless dangerous situations."

"So for a very long time in the future, you won't be able to leave this magical plant. Moreover, if you could befriend this wizard, that wouldn't be bad either. If he produces even better magical plants, you could be first to purchase them."

"Douglas, perhaps you can try becoming friends with him."

Douglas smiled bitterly in a low voice. "My lord, I'm just an ordinary First Circle wizard without any teaching position. Wanting to become friends with such an Advanced Origin Academy genius... am I worthy..."

Wizard King Laghemaon laughed in a low voice. "No need for false modesty. Let me tell you something to build your confidence. According to my observations since reviving on you, I judge I'm equivalent to a Third Circle wizard in this era, and not an ordinary Third Circle wizard."

"The kingdom domain I possess from my magic kingdom is very likely similar to the crown magic possessed by Third Circle wizards of this era."

"However, I need to adapt to this era's magic tides, and I've already died without a physical body, so I can only temporarily let you exert ordinary Second Circle combat power through your body."

"But with my help... your future prospects will be very great! As long as you can help me evade Black Sun Tower's pursuit..."

Douglas's pupils contracted slightly.

He knew that Third Circle wizards had a reputation on this land as truly mid-to-high Circle wizards.

The Wizard King of a magic kingdom from the Era of Stars actually possessed power equivalent to a Third Circle wizard of this era!

And with a Third Circle wizard's full assistance, his achievements would be...

At the same time, at various shop entrances in Golden Crown Mountain, different wizards were placing orders to purchase Hydra and Five-Headed Hydra.

At the edge of the Golden Crown Mountain district, a First Circle crystallization stage wizard wearing the special golden wizard robes of Quinn Jol University walked into a shop. He said to the Arthas franchise shop owner, "Shop owner, give me one Five-Headed Hydra and one Hydra."

The shop owner was a First Circle vaporization stage wizard. He smiled, "Sure. Today these two products achieved huge success on their first day online. The wizard who published these two products is a very excellent breeder. He's the Cloud Marsh Cup champion from Golden Crown Mountain..."

The young wizard wearing Quinn Jol University wizard robes showed a smile full of confidence on his face. "I know."

"Shop owner, regarding everything about Locke Augustine, that breeder, I know it all."

"The strong remain strong. We'll meet again, Locke." Edgar said confidently. "Your Hydra magical plant is very interesting. I wanted it before. Today I'll buy it to use."

"Perhaps it will play a huge role for me in the colony plane."

The shop owner was stunned. "You know each other?"

Wizard Edgar said to him with full confidence, "Stock up on more of that breeder's works. Later you won't be able to stock them, or won't be able to stock them at such low prices. Because he'll become a legend."

"And the main reason he'll become a legend is because I will definitely become a legendary breeder. As a breeder who once defeated me at the Cloud Marsh Cup, his great name will also spread along with my great name."

The shop owner's head was spinning a bit. This wizard's confidence was like the sun, truly too dazzling. So dazzling he could barely handle listening.

At this time, the shop owner seemed to remember something. "You're Edgar David!"

"That First Circle breeder who bred Ancient Life Tree and Ancient War Tree!"

...

11:50 PM.

Actually at this moment, the day's rankings had already settled. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

At that time, in the Rose Council's First Circle wizard office, Raphael looked at the total sales ranking list and suddenly felt the world had gone crazy. On the True Love Festival total bestselling ranking list, fifth place was actually Five-Headed Hydra magical plant.

Although Five-Headed Hydra didn't take first place or enter the top three, being able to sell a magical plant completely unrelated to the true love theme to fifth place on the sales ranking on True Love Festival was already heaven-defying enough.

This was rarely seen in Cloud Marsh Wetland.

And sixth place on the sales ranking list also wasn't a magic bouquet, but a treant, Large Leaf Lazy Tree Treant, scientifically named Talmud Treant.

A treant that could care for other treants and possessed powerful Talmud energy that could slightly amplify all nearby magical plants.

For breeders, it was a rare treasure.

Its developer's name was Edgar David, from Quinn Jol University's Advanced Origin Academy, located at the foot of Holy Spring Mountain, on the Nine Brightness River, Quinn Jol University!

At the same time, tenth place on the sales ranking list was Osmanthus Fragrant Leaves that could amplify natural magic.

The developer was Witch Diana, from Bonifacius University's Advanced Origin Academy.

The sales ranking list also had an eighth place from a medium-to-large scale wizard academy's First Circle crystallization stage breeder, from Little Sleep Mountain, named Witch Timothea.

Her designed Regeneration Willow Tree was very interesting. It could absorb highly polluting heavy metal elements from the land, even actinide elements. If the effect weren't still imperfect, this work might even directly top first place.

The Rose Council Breeder Academy's First Circle wizard office was completely silent.

Because on this very day, the Rose Council's monopoly privilege formed over many years on September 1st True Love Festival was suddenly broken.

Four breeders, relying on their products' solid performance, using the True Love Festival platform built by the Rose Council, broke tradition and directly killed their way into the day's total sales ranking list, occupying top ten positions.

Wizard Raphael looked at the total sales ranking list, staring blankly. "September 1st's sales ranking list actually has four works that aren't magic bouquets."

"This is simply a destruction of the unspoken rules established by our Rose Council."

"This is terrible. The leadership will definitely hold a bunch of meetings because of this."

"Where did these four monsters come from!"

Someone said in a low voice, "It seems three of the breeders are all from the top three of this year's Cloud Marsh Cup competition. That author of the Regeneration Willow Tree also came from outside the wizard lands, apparently through the Wetland Cup's constructor competition."

Raphael felt extremely confused right now.

So what did this have to do with the Wetland Cup and that constructor competition?

So, a disheveled constructor came to their turf today, this year, this month, and dominated their Rose Council's flower language master home court rankings?

Raphael said, "These wizards from the outside world are really too unconventional. They actually all treat our Rose Council's True Love Festival as their stepping stone, without any sense of reverence for our Rose Council."

Another First Circle wizard said in a low voice, "I feel this has nothing to do with being from outside or not. That Witch Diana is a native witch from our Cloud Marsh Wetland. Didn't she also break the unspoken rules on True Love Festival and openly dominate our flower language masters' rankings on this day!"

The office was filled with wails, because four non-flower language master breeders making the rankings meant that four Rose Council breeders' works were forced off the list.

Moreover, many flower language masters would see this scene and immediately feel psychologically unbalanced, thinking that on the flower language masters' home court, they as flower language masters didn't get their works onto the total sales ranking list, yet four ordinary breeders' works did.

The most troublesome part was the Rose Council's various academy leaders.

One must ask, with such an incident, where was the dignity of Rose Council University, the ancestral home of countless flower language masters?

At that time, a Second Circle star ring wizard hurriedly walked into the office. After pushing open the office door, he shouted to all the wizards inside, "The branch dean sent me to call you for a meeting."

"The Throne Lord is very angry about this incident. Fortunately, these four breeders came from different schools this time, otherwise we would have thought this was a malicious attack targeting our Rose Council."

"As the holy land in the hearts of all flower language masters in the Three Marsh Lands, how can our Rose Council tolerate such things!"

"Damn it, could it be that Quinn Jol University, Golden Crown Mountain, Bonifacius University, and Little Sleep Mountain all united and deliberately joined forces to target our Rose Council?!"

This Second Circle star ring wizard was also muttering to himself at this moment, even thinking conspiratorially that this matter wasn't so simple.
