Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.

Chapter 546 Decision

As they left the palace, Gaga followed them without them noticing.

"Did you have fun?"

"I don't know, everyone is trying to please me, but I don't feel the happiness I used to have."

Ian remained silent.

"Let's go back. Edel has come several times before, and so has that guy with the strange eyes, what's his name? They're all waiting for you."

"Isera," Ian corrected.

Moon Goddess Peak, small courtyard.

When Ian returned, Kerrigan was sitting on a stone bench in the yard with a glass of water in front of her.

Two figures were already waiting outside the courtyard gate. One was wearing a well-tailored dark blue noble robe with a Just family crest pinned to his waist.

Edel Juster, the current patriarch of the Juster family, is a level three wizard with a calm and capable demeanor.

As soon as she entered the room, her expression was calm, but her sudden pause in breathing betrayed her true feelings.

Ysera entered the room with them, dressed in a dark blue wizard's robe. Her demeanor was completely different from Edel's, and her strength had reached the fifth level of the Radiant Moon.

The two men bowed to Ian, who was seated at the head of the table.

"grown ups."

Adele spoke first, her voice filled with excitement.

Just now, she glanced at Ian unintentionally, and an invisible pressure directly hit her heart, making her tremble all over.

"I've secretly observed adults before, and they've never reacted like that. It seems that seemingly outrageous news is true!"

Adele's mind was in chaos, a jumble of thoughts churning within her.

Adele and Ysera sat on either side of Ian, while Gaga squatted beside him, constantly scrutinizing the two of them.

"Let me report on the situation of the Xuanhuang Chamber of Commerce first," Ian said softly.

Adele took a roll of parchment from her sleeve and laid it on her lap. The data on it was neat and the writing was clear and orderly.

"After the last brief return of the master, the guild has been operating normally, with potions still being the most profitable item."

She then turned the page.

"Currently, the Chamber of Commerce has 47 potion workshops under its jurisdiction, with a total of over 3,000 potion makers. The channels are open and there have been no problems in procuring special materials."

"In terms of personnel — a new training pipeline has been established —"

"My lord, recently a large number of forces have been visiting the Chamber of Commerce, wanting to start cooperation, and the conditions are extremely generous. Among them are many top cross-industry forces. I have made notes on them all and am just waiting for your approval."

After saying that, she pushed the parchment in front of Ian and put her hands back on her knees.

Ian glanced at the data and nodded. "Well done. These forces can cooperate. You and Ysera can handle it."

Upon receiving Ian's affirmation, Adele's face lit up with a slight smile, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, I will certainly live up to your expectations." Adele stood up and bowed.

Ian turned to Isera, "Not bad, your strength has finally improved again."

"I must thank you for your generous gift, sir." Isera quickly stood up and expressed her gratitude.

If it weren't for the Purple Soul Potion bestowed by Ian, she would have had to spend an unknown amount of time honing her soul to break through to the fifth level of Radiant Moon.

"How's your hometown doing?"

"Reporting to Your Excellency, the Summoner Council has resumed normal operations. Since joining the Wizarding Alliance, we have completed the second round of elder elections, adding three new elders. With the help of the Alliance, we continue to develop the talents of Summoners."

"The restoration of the world's origin is progressing smoothly, and it is expected to be fully restored to the pre-invasion level in about two thousand years."

Ian nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing this, Ysera and Idela bowed and took their leave.

Gaga, looking around boredly, said, "The news of your promotion spread very quickly. Looks like you'll be busy."

"Yes, Azshara has come too. I imagine quite a few people have been asking her for information lately."

There is another person, and it is unknown whether he will come to see him after receiving news of his return.

Inside the laboratory of the Shadowmoon Tower, Malena was intently preparing a potion.

As she chanted the incantation, her hands moved with practiced ease, and bottle after bottle of potions were concocted.

Since taking over as head of the Potions Academy, Malena has had much more work than before, leaving her with less time for quiet potion-making.

Not much.

Just then, there was a knock on the laboratory door.

"Come in."

Footsteps sounded, but unlike the usual students giving reports, they were light-hearted, as if in a good mood.

A tall figure walked in, wearing a light purple travel robe, with long golden hair casually tied behind her back.

Alivia Starspeaker, Malena's mentor and elder.

Several years ago, he traveled alone to the Central Continent, leaving the position of Dean of the Potions Department to Malena.

"Marlena." Alyvia leaned against the doorway, her eyes slightly curved.

Malena paused for a moment, then looked up and saw Alyvia.

"My lord, why are you back?"

"What, don't you welcome me back here?"

After not seeing her for several years, Alyvia had also learned to joke, which was quite unusual. She found a stool next to the lab bench, sat down, crossed her long legs, and adopted a casual posture.

"When I returned from the Central Continent, I heard something."

Her expression turned serious as she looked at Malena, her expression somewhat inscrutable.

Malena put down the potion in her hand, her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had an inexplicable premonition that what Alyvia was about to say must be related to her.

"Just recently, a great True Spirit Wizard was born once again on the Central Continent!"

"No one dared to say his name directly, but when he was promoted, his family bloodline jumped again, which is when those with ulterior motives noticed it."

"Which family is it?"

"The Marcus family of the Latour Empire!"

With a clatter, the test tube in Malena's hand landed on the lab table.

"Is the news reliable?" Malena asked in a trembling voice.

"Ha! Who would dare spread rumors about the True Spirit Wizard if there wasn't concrete evidence?"

Yes, it is said that whoever dares to offend a great true spirit will have an endless lifespan.

Thinking of this, Malena suddenly felt a pang of sadness, and her vision blurred.

"Aren't you going to see him?"

Malena remained silent, lost in thought.

Elivia picked up her teacup and took a sip. "In the years I've spent in the Central Continent, I've heard many rumors about him."

"Some say he has forged a unique path as a wizard, with astonishing talent and brilliance."

"Some say that he single-handedly saved the war between civilizations and the Voidlings."

Alyssa put down her teacup, deeply moved.

"Some people say that he is the youngest true spirit in the history of wizarding civilization, and is very likely to become the fourth wizard emperor."

True spirit, Witch Emperor!

Malena's heart skipped a beat; she couldn't imagine what kind of realm and scenery that was.

The distance between me and Ian seems to be growing ever wider.

She took a deep breath, went to the window, and stared blankly at the faint light on the distant mountaintop.

"Marlena, what are you waiting for?"

"I—I don't know," Malena's voice trembled.

Alyvia got up and walked over to Malena, looking at her profile.

"Some things you have to fight for yourself; you can't get results by just waiting."

Malena did not answer, and sat alone for a long time until Alyvia disappeared.

As the last rays of the setting sun dipped below the horizon, the top of the Shadow Moon Tower lit up, its orange glow filtering in.

She glanced at the green residue on the lab bench, tidied it up casually, and then took off her lab coat.

Back at her residence, she changed into her favorite red robe, combed her long hair in front of the mirror, and began to carefully dress up.

After a long while, she pushed open the door and came to the teleportation array leading to the Central Continent.

The wizard in charge of the teleportation stared blankly at Malena in her magnificent attire, but obediently refrained from asking any further questions.

Marlena stood in front of the teleportation array for a moment, bit her lip, and then stepped onto it, heading straight for Silvermoon Highlands.

Regardless of the outcome, at least I won't have any regrets.
