Chapter 372: Chapter 372: The Boy Toy’s Dissatisfaction
Rezen felt like he had just learned how to really use his farm. Growing spirit plants inside is just a basic function, and with his puny strength, not all the spirit plants he grows can see the light of day.
After all, how can he explain owning such a large number of spirit plants? If he only uses them by himself, a few days of planting is more than enough for him to grow enough to be used for years.
Even if he has that little glutton Belazark, who also indiscriminately consumed spirit plants as if they were mortal food without being affected much, he still has a huge surplus.
However, crossbreeding Spirit Plants is different. It enables Rezen to create more special Spirit Plants. If a spirit plant has one strong side but also one huge drawback, then he can take some time to research and find the most appropriate spirit plant he can use to crossbreed and erase the drawback.
The modified Ghost Berries and the new Dark Vismian Grass were one such example!
Growing thousands and even hundreds of thousands of them was easy. It just takes a bit more time but... why would Rezen use them for free?
In terms of shamelessness, Rezen wouldn’t dare claim to be only the top 2. He can essentially grow the modified ghost berries and the dark vismian grass at no cost, but why would he do that for free?
He plans to extort the Academy and even the whole City of Hope!
As long as he has enough mana stones, his farm can grow. If Rezen were to become a Senior Mage and also upgrade his farm to the same level, wouldn’t humanity be unable to fight back?
At the very least, the Senior Rank magic beasts wouldn’t be a problem. One ghost berry is enough to turn them into humanity’s side.
If humans were to gain control over hundreds of thousands or even millions of magic beasts, would the Sage be enough to rule the world?
No, he does not!
With humanity’s guardian as well as the combined strength of both humanity and the magic beasts, the Sage would be drowned to death by the number of his enemies!
As such, while Rezen is shameless and plans to extort resources, wouldn’t humanity also benefit?
When that time comes, unless a Great Mage or Great Rank magic beast attacks Rezen, he would be free to do anything he wants!
"How many of these ghost magic beasts can you control at a time?" Fuchk asked. If Rezen can control thousands of magic beasts or even tens of thousands at a time, it would be a tremendous help to humanity.
"I can feel that... there is no limit. The only thing limiting me was whether there were enough magic stones. As long as I have magic stones, I can create an infinite number of these skulls and the dark grass" Rezen answered truthfully.
Bring it on! He wants every resource in the realm to be poured into him so that he can immediately grow stronger.
For the sake of power and reviving his parents, this Savage Beast Realm would be just one of his stepping stones.
The strongest here are only at the Great Rank, and such strength is not enough to revive his parents or be invincible! He needs to reach even greater heights!
"I-infinite?" The Alchemist was taken aback. Could such an overpowered ability really exist in the world?
"Yes. And I also instinctively feel like that right now, I am a Junior Mage. As such, any Junior Rank magic beasts can be converted into my soldiers. However, if I were to become a Senior Mage, I could feel that my ability could grow stronger. It can grow to the point that I can also convert Senior Rank magic beasts!"
This was also, in a sense, a truthful statement. If the farm grew and it was able to grow Senior Rank spirit plants, wouldn’t Rezen also be able to have modified ghost berries effective against Senior Rank magic beasts?
This was just a matter of time and resources!
"Y-you... you’re not just making this up, right?" Fuchk asked in doubt.
While it was known that Innate Spells grew alongside the mage, this ability is simply too broken!
Given enough resources, Rezen can dominate the whole Savage Beast Realm and be second only to the Guardian!
"I’m not lying. This is what my instincts told me. But of course, I cannot say for 100% that it is the case. I can only say what I felt after awakening my Innate Magic" Rezen replied, not surprised by this reaction.
If he were a normal mage living in the City of Hope, he would have the same reaction.
"T-this..." Alchemist Fuchk stuttered, and he turned to look at the couple doing unspeakable things.
"Headmaster, this matter... I believe it is best to convey it to the Council of Elders and to the Guardian. If Rezen’s claim was true, he would be the hope of humanity!"
"Can the Headmaster inform the Elders and the Guardian?" Fuchk inquired.
As the people holding the most power and position in the realm, the Elders and the Guardian are not people that just anyone can meet.
Despite being a Senior Mage, Alchemist Fuchk doesn’t have the capacity to meet such high-ranking people.
As for the Headmaster, it is also not guaranteed. Even the Headmaster of an academy in the outer walls might not have the ability.
After all, the difference between Senior Mages may not differ between the difference between a peak Junior Mage and a Senior Mage.
Just as a peak Junior Mage cannot even withstand a hint of a Senior Mage’s power, truly powerful Senior Mages can also kill weaker Senior Mages just by the aftereffects of their spells.
The Senior Rank is also divided into 9 cycles, causing a large difference in power. Even at the peak of the Senior Rank, there can also be a large disparity in power.
It’s not like the City of Hope lacks peak Senior Mages. While they are rare, there are still a quite a number of them.
Since that is the case, wouldn’t the Council of Elders holding way more power than any other Senior Mages arouse too much dissatisfaction?
No, it does not, or more like none dares to. There are Senior Mages close to the Great Rank that can kill a fellow peak Senior Mage with just a single move!
The members of the Council of Elders are infinitely close to the Great Mage Rank and far above the masses!
"I will try, but I cannot guarantee it" the Headmaster simply replied as if it was not a huge matter. She was still as playful as usual.
What no one expected was the reaction that Treen would have.
"Honey, this is a serious matter. I want you to really do your best to contact the Elders and the Guardian. Rezen has always been amazing, and he’s not someone who should stay in the outer walls. His talent is enough for him to become a priority for cultivation!" Treen said, his voice had a hint of dissatisfaction with the Headmaster’s reaction.
Rezen wipes the imaginary sweat on his forehead. This bastard friend of his, despite being a kept boy, how can he act like this?
Is he not afraid of losing favor? It was already a miracle that such a powerful Senior Mage took a fancy to him despite his puny power and background!
Shouldn’t he be supposed to be pleasing the Headmaster to death?
However, what was even more surprising was the Headmaster’s reaction. Her face immediately paled as if she was afraid of really displeasing her boy toy.
"T-that... I-I promised to do my best. No! I will ensure that I will have an audience with the Elders or even the Guardian! I promise you!" The Headmaster vowed yet this bastard Treen was still not satisfied.
"Alright, let us meet again then, only when Rezen was really able to meet the Elders and the Guardian" Treen said as he removed the Headmaster’s hands from his body as if he would only pay attention to the woman if she were to satisfy him.
The vile bastard even stood up and started to walk out of the room, causing the Headmaster to panic.
Whether it be Rezen or Alchemist Fuchk, both of them were extremely shocked. All the hair on their bodies stood up. The word shocked was even an understatement to what they are currently feeling right now.
"Wait! Wait! I really promised it. Look! I have this!" The Headmaster said, her voice trembling as she took out a brown scroll from her spatial ring and only then did Treen looked at her.
"What is that?" Treen asked curiously and a look of discomfort appeared on the Headmaster’s face but she didn’t dare lie and can only speak the truth.
"I-I dont know..." she said meekly and Rezen almost choked on his own saliva.
You don’t know what that is? Then why even take it out as if it was your trump card!
