The year 1094 of the Holy Hui Calendar, the month of the wheat field.
Endless sea.
The Demonic Realm of a Hundred Eyes.
In the blink of an eye, a week has passed since Levi came to the wizarding world.
The side effects of Levi's Scarlet Escape gradually subsided.
Now, there is finally no problem at all.
"This side effect is really not small. I have been in the human world for so long, and I don't know what the current situation of the wizard world is. Let's find a place to gather information first."
Levi stood up and put away Tyrant II and the magic circle that were protecting him.
Then he left the sea area.
The Flying Shark was sailing in the air.
He hurried towards the places he remembered.
…
Rapids City.
In a tavern in the chaotic outer city area.
The maidens were performing a spirited little dance, and the leading maiden was a beautiful fur-bearing girl with rabbit ears.
"I still remember that when I broke through the second ring, I invited dancers from the Fur Tribe to celebrate with Grimm and Tommen. Times have changed. Tommen and Grimm have died in the war. This shows how cruel the wizarding world is."
Levi changed his appearance and sneaked into Rapids City with the Hermit Rune. He also hid his realm in the realm of a first-ring wizard. Wearing a gray robe, he gathered intelligence in a tavern in the city outside Rapids City.
Based on what he had found out these days.
In today's wizarding world, the war has not yet stopped.
The Black and White Wizarding War has been raging for sixty years.
Black Sun Adam and Mad Beast Wizard are both at the peak of the eighth-ring wizard realm, and they are only one step away from becoming ninth-ring wizards.
In this war between black and white wizards, the four major wizard organizations on the dark wizard side, [Black Sun Tower], [Boiling Blood of Beasts], [Immersed Ancient City], and [City of Injustice], all have eight-ring wizards in charge.
Although the Tower of Stars is more powerful, it cannot win the war in a short period of time.
In fact, the situation in the Blue Realm is still good.
According to intelligence, the faithless realms of some small schools have completely fallen and become the territory of dark wizards. A new dark wizard regime has been established there, and the white wizards have become helpless.
This even includes the Ice Realm of the Ice School.
Although the Ice School has risen strongly due to the Frost Witch Gulveig, this legendary witch has already left the wizarding world and headed for the distant Federation of the Five Planes. She is now engaged in a legendary game with [Madam Famine], the evil god under the command of the Lord of Chaos.
Apart from the Frost Witch, there is not even a great wizard in the Ice School's headquarters.
This gave some dark wizards an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and now the Ice School is facing a serious crisis.
The Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council is now drawing personnel from various major factions to support the white wizard forces of the Ice School.
On the other side of Rapids City, the war has ceased. Except for those demons hiding in the human world, the dark wizard forces in District 6 have been eliminated.
Therefore, many wizards from Stormwind were dispatched to the Ice Realm to fight on the front lines.
As for the Great Crusade, the Myriad Planes were recaptured, and the legendary wizard has led his team back to quell the civil unrest in the wizarding world.
This is one of the few good news in the wizarding world in recent years.
It seems that the legendary wizard is ultimately more powerful than the Plague Father, and is no match for him.
"In this case, I don't know if the tower master can come back... But the Plague Father was only seriously injured, not dead. It is still very difficult to kill an evil god."
Levi thought of the sudden and frequent plagues in the world, and felt that there seemed to be some connection between the two.
After inquiring about some information here, Levi left Rapids City.
His identity is somewhat special, so he cannot stay in Rapids City for a long time. Otherwise, if he is found to have faked his death, he will be arrested and forced to serve in the military.
…
Half a month later.
Levi arrived at the Loess Continent.
In the Lion King City.
Levi met the old golden lion Leon.
Over the past few years, the situation in the Loess Continent has been relatively stable.
After recuperation, the Golden Lion Family grew much stronger after annexing the inheritance of the Aisidi Family.
"Sir Levi, long time no see." Leon said with a smile, his face full of joy.
He had just mastered his second innate spell and became a third-ring senior wizard, and he was in a good mood.
"Sir Leon, where are Dinos and Mudi?" Levi asked.
"Dinos is in seclusion, and it is said that he is going to break through the shackles of legend. And Emperor Mu left the Loess Continent a few years ago and went to the Inner Ring Sea to explore the world."
"Which inner ring district did Mudi go to?"
"It seems to be the seventh district..."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Sir Leon."
Levi walked out of the Lion King City. He originally wanted to take Mudi and Dinos away, but now it seems that this matter can only be put on hold temporarily.
"Mudi, this guy, actually went to the inner ring area to make trouble. He is just a knight equivalent to the second ring wizard realm. It is not easy to survive in the inner ring. And the place he went to is the seventh district, which is the territory of the Thunder Dragon Family." Levi thought to himself. "Everyone has his own destiny. No matter what, let's go and see Teacher Meilin."
…
The secret realm of giant trees.
"Granny Mai! Levi is back!" Winnie brought Levi and quickly came to Mailin's tree house.
Teacher Meilin looked at Levi, whom she had not seen for a long time, with her old face.
“I knew it…Levi couldn’t die,” Mai Lin muttered, seeing the burly figure in her memory.
"Teacher, how do you know I'm dead?" Levi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"That little girl Winnie asked her friends in Rapids City to find out," said Mylene.
"All right……"
"By the way, that bastard Tower Master might come back in the future, if he didn't die in the Wanji Plane..." said Mailin.
"I've heard that too. With the tower master's abilities, he shouldn't die in battle. He's basically an alchemical creature. As long as his brain is preserved, he can reassemble his body."
"I hope so."
"Teacher, if you have the opportunity to leave the wizarding world in the future, will you choose to leave?" Levi asked.
"Going to the human world?" asked Mylene.
"Yes, I know a place where the elemental power is no less than that of the wizarding world, but that place needs to be kept secret, and I can only bring some of the people I trust most with me." Levi nodded.
He felt that the wizarding world was too dangerous. Although the Giant Tree Secret Realm was temporarily safe, it could not be guaranteed to be safe forever.
So he wanted to bring those teachers and partners who had a good relationship with him in the Gray Tower to the human world.
"I want to wait for the tower master to come back. If we all leave the outer sea area, how will he find us when he comes back..." said Mai Lin.
"I see."
Levi sighed.
Tower Master Herman is Mylin's guide on the path to becoming a wizard, and he is like a teacher and a father to her.
Teacher Malin probably won't leave here in the short term.
Levi left some second-level meditation-aiding potions for Teacher Malin, as well as an extra portion of the Lake Fairy potion that he had previously refined.
In the remaining decades of life, it would be best if the teacher could break through to the third ring wizard.
If not, then Levi has done his best and will not have any regrets.
If the fairy potion in the lake was put outside, it would definitely attract scramble from other second-level and even mid-level wizards. Even if it was sold for 100,000 Taishi, there would still be people who wanted it.
Levi had previously refined four of them, he used one himself and gave one to teacher Malin.
There are two left, and Levi plans to keep them for himself and sell them for money, or give them to some important people in the future.
Mainly because the Evil Spirit Dream Fairy Dust has been used up.
Otherwise, Levi could also mass-produce this medicine.
Before leaving, Levi went to the grave of Manla, a good friend he had known during his apprenticeship period, who had now passed away.
"Old friend, I hope you are well in the underworld."
In this chaotic and disorderly era filled with blood and fire, isn't it a blessing to be able to die of old age?
Manla's daughter became a formal wizard and now stays in the Green Forest Tower to teach.
The little girl, Leah, whom he left with her teacher, has now grown into a well-behaved girl and has even become an apprentice wizard. However, she seems a little unfamiliar with Levi because she has not seen him for a long time.
Levi was also quite helpless about this.
After all, the most familiar person in Leah's memory is always the "barrel grandfather" who worked in the blacksmith shop, bragging and drinking beer.
Leah's mother, the proprietress of the tavern, is already an old lady. Although she has white hair, she is still energetic. However, from Levi's ashen eyes, it can be seen that she is surrounded by death and her death is not far away.
Levi gave her some common potions to strengthen her body, which could slightly prolong her life.
Finally, Levi met Yorman, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. This good brother who helped him overcome difficulties in the early days seemed to be about to die.
The blood in Yorman's body is relatively thin, and it is difficult for him to advance to a three-ring extraordinary creature in his lifetime.
From the first tower master to now, it has been five hundred years old and is now an old snake in its twilight years.
"Old buddy, come with me, I'll see if I can help you make further progress in the future." Levi touched Yorman's snake head.
Yorman shook his head.
Levi understood what it meant. It wanted to stay with Granny Mai and Winnie.
"Okay, take care of yourself and live a few more years. When I completely develop the blood potion for the hybrid dragon race to advance, I won't let you die so easily."
Everything in this world will eventually be subject to birth, aging, sickness and death. In fact, it’s good to just let nature take its course.
只不过李维不甘，他想长生，可是他不想独自一人长生，力所能及的范围内，他也想让那些帮助过自己的同行者，尽可能多活一些年……毕竟，他们是自己枯燥的修行路上，为数不多的美好记忆了。
了结这边牵挂，李维离开了巨树秘境。
接下来他要寻找的东西，基本上都在内环海域，甚至是群星海域。
所以他可能很长一段时间内，都不会回来了。
李维悄悄去了趟第九区，那里的情况和自己当初离开的时候没有区别。
黑眼乌鸦莫蒂盘踞在自己的黑火岛，掌控了第九区。
这位黑榜第八的强者乃是四环资深巫师，掌握了至少两个三环天赋法术，两个四环天赋法术。
其实力可不是那些连飞行都不会的古圣可以比的。
所以李维现在还没有去报仇的想法。
不过是损失一座岛屿罢了。
李维当即动身前往内环海域第五区。
三个月后。
李维跑了好几个巫师集市。
却发现，不仅黑珍珠集市，其他的集市，也都已经成为了雷龙家族的产业。
他需要的药草材料，在集市之中，并没有出售。
雷龙家族将冥想辅助药剂，境界突破药剂的原材料全部垄断。
然后让家族的药剂师制作成为药剂，高价在巫师集市出售。
李维算了算，如果自己买雷龙家族的成品药剂，要比自己炼制的成本，高出十倍！
即便除去人工和时间成本，雷龙家族依旧是暴利。
“不给普通巫师活路啊，变相强迫所有人都去购买他们的药剂。”
李维无奈，愤愤不平的离开了这里。
他发誓，等自己有实力了，绝对想办法把雷龙家族给灭了，简直是巫师界一大毒瘤，比黑巫师还可恶。
“如今之际，只能前往群星海域了。”
越往高处，李维就越能感受到，巫师世界的资源垄断，分配不均的问题有多严重。
黑巫师发动战争，也不是没有道理的。
固有的巫师世界格局下，既得利益者垄断一切，普通巫师难以爬升。
索伦留下的巨轮，已经腐朽。
这一切，需要变革！
流血和牺牲，在所难免。
“唉……”
所有的不甘，化为一声叹息。
处处碰壁的李维，最终还是来到了群星海域。
也就是六塔之海。
如今的六塔，分别是【七水高塔】、【魔女之家】、【海渊联盟】、【莱特尼巫师家族】、【莉莉丝小屋】、【飓风高塔】。
七水高塔以造船闻名于世；魔女之家只收女巫，擅长制药；海渊联盟据说不少强者有海族血统，还会驯服海兽；莉莉丝小屋则是较为普通，没有啥特色。
上面这四家，基本上都是海洋派系为主。
而飓风高塔和莱特尼巫师家族，一个是暴风派系，一个是雷霆派系，后者更是六塔之中，唯一的巫师家族形式的组织，据说传承十分悠久，曾经诞生过半神级别的大巫师。
除了这六塔之外，群星海域还有很多大大小小的巫师组织。
其实以李维的本意，是不想这么早踏入群星海域的。
这里是强者的乐园，自己不过是区区三环巫师，依靠骑士之道，才能勉强和四环巫师抗衡。
在群星海域，虽然不是底层，但也算不上高层。
但是他算是看出来了，自己如今所需要的这些资源，只有在这里，才有可能找到。
想要在内环海域找到，太浪费时间了。
一望无际的海面上，李维乘着飞鲨号，感受着浓郁的元素之力。
“这群星海域的元素之力，数倍于外环地区，不愧是修行圣地。”他不由得赞叹。
他的下方，有一座座群星般排列的岛屿。
这些都是居住在群星海域的那些巫师的私人岛屿，价格不菲，基本上住在这些岛屿中的，都是中阶巫师，甚至可能是高阶元魂巫师。
除开这些私人小别墅一样的岛屿，在群星海域中，还有一些巨岛。
巨岛上，有巫师集市或者城市，李维的目的地，便是这里。
“话说老沙好像也来到了群星海域，不知道如今境况如何？”李维自语间，已经来到了一座巨岛上。
这座巨岛叫做“冥王岛”，是拱卫群星海域的十二座巨岛之一。
这十二座巨岛上，分布有十二座巨无霸级别的巫师城市，称之为“十二巫城”。
冥王城，便是其中之一。
如今正是战争状态，这些城市对于外来者的身份，都查的比较严。
李维还没有进城，就被守卫给拦住了。
不过这世上没有什么是钱不能解决的，如果有，那就是钱不够多。
最终，依靠钞能力，李维成功的拿到了身份铭牌。
冥王城中设置了五环禁空法阵，除了尊贵无比的高阶元魂巫师，其他巫师，都没有办法在这里飞行。
这样也是为了方便管理，避免一些巫师作乱后很快遁走。
街道上往来的，都是形形色色的巫师，以及那些作为巫师仆人的凡人，异族奴隶，甚至是一些骑士护卫等。
李维需要药剂材料，他便直接前往冥王城中最大的一家药剂店。
“魔女之家。”
这药剂店，应该是魔女之家开设在冥王城的。
李维进入其中后，发现一位美丽的女巫正在看一本药剂学书籍。
她注意到李维的到来，但是并没有将视线从书籍上移开。
“需要什么药剂，可以对【小魔女】说。”她一边看书，一边说道。
“我是小魔女·可莉，巫师先生，请问你需要购买什么药剂？”一只扎着蝴蝶结，穿着宽松的黑色巫袍，大概只有李维一只巴掌大的小女孩飞在半空中，她的背后，还有一双薄如蝉翼的翅膀，正迅速的扑棱着。
“不愧是魔女之家，居然有小妖精这种仆役。”李维心中一动。
在古代巫师时期，小妖精经常作为巫师们的管家，打理药园，巫师塔，生活起居的方方面面。
它们办事利落，而且实力也很强，别看这个小家伙体型小，可是却掌握着强大的“妖精法术”。
不过因为过度捕捉，如今在巫师世界，很少见到这些小家伙了。
李维当初学徒时候学的那个戏法【花仙子之泪】中提到的花仙子就是小妖精的一种。
眼前这个小魔女，李维估计，应该有二环巫师的实力了，在小妖精中，也是属于顶级强者了。
“可莉你好，我需要购买药剂材料，不知道这里是否出售？”李维问道。
小魔女在李维面前悬停下来，小手托腮，摇摇头说道：“抱歉先生，我们现在不出售药草材料。”
“为什么？我记得你们之前都出售的吧。”李维问道。
这个时候，那边看书的女巫将眼神从书本上移开，目光平静的望着李维说道：“现在是战争时期，巫师世界如今的药草资源本就稀少，再加上寻找和种植药草的巫师很大一部分也被派到了军方，所以我们现在已经停止售卖材料了，只出售药剂。你去其他巫师组织的店铺买，也买不到。”
李维心中苦闷，他叹了口气，准备离开。
“阁下是药剂师？”那女巫问道。
“是的。”
“几环的？”
“三环药剂师。”
“我倒是有一个办法，可以让阁下获取到药剂材料。”那女巫想了想，说道。
“还请告知。”李维面露感恩之色。
“我们魔女之家最近接到了一些军方的大订单，塔内的药剂师忙不过来，现在正在招募临时药剂师，作为临时药剂师的报酬之一，便是拥有购买魔女之家材料的资格。如果阁下的药剂师水平可以的话，我可以为你安排面试，对了，我叫赛利亚。”这位叫做赛利亚的女巫说道。
魔女之家只收女巫师，
要不然，以李维的药剂师水平，加入魔女之家，应该也不是难事。
“我再看看吧，多谢告知。”李维离开了魔女之家。
接下来的这几天，他在这座城市暂时住了下来。
冥王城商店不少，也有一些巫师在摆摊，李维还是不死心。
眨眼睛。
一个月的时间过去了。
这段时间，李维将冥王城，甚至周边的一些城市都逛了一圈。
在一些散修那里和巫师集市上，他还是收集到了一部分炼制冥想法辅助药剂的材料，这花费了他足足五万太石。
只不过，有一点和赛利亚说的一样，那就是那些大型组织的材料商店，基本上都不再出售药剂材料。
这让很多散修药剂师的处境变得愈发艰难。
依靠制药这门手艺活，越来越难赚钱。
所有资源都被巫师组织和家族把控，想要获取，就得加入其中。
“这世道……”
李维无奈，又回到了魔女之家。
看到去而复返的李维，赛利亚一副早已经料到的模样。
“阁下要面试临时药剂师吗？”
“是的，麻烦帮我安排。”
数日后。
通过面试的李维和魔女之家签订了临时工协议。
Celia smiled and said, "Sir Levi, we need to use the teleportation spell next. Please hold my arm."
Levi hesitated for a moment, coughed, and used his big hands that could crush the ancient saints to carefully grasp the witch Celia's white, slender, tender, smooth, and boneless arm.
"Angumokyin!" Celia held a medal of the Witch's House in her hand and chanted a spell.
The next moment, Celia and Levi disappeared into the small pharmacy.
When Celia opened her eyes in the dizziness of teleportation, she found that Levi had already let go of her arm and was looking forward with a shocked expression.
In front of Levi, there was a towering tree a thousand feet high, reaching into the sky, just like the world tree in mythology.
Beautiful witches, each with their own unique charm and brightly dressed, were flying around and coming in and out.
On the trunk of the giant tree, a powerful and slender gray dragon, which seemed to have merged with the tree, was entangled in it. It was sleeping and snoring like thunder.
"Xian...Xianrong Dragon?"
