I thought the chances were good this time, but it seemed like I hadn’t satisfied all the conditions yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I do not mind it much. I am getting more skills and extra attribute points, now that the second class has reached level 20.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of my classes were upgraded as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My Witch Class had upgraded to High Witch, and I got the skill, that will make a really hard job slightly easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I may have used a grand ritual, but my understanding of it is low. It was enough until Grade II but needed to upgrade it for Grade III.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will have to begin upgrading again. This time, it will be far more difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grade IV wields significantly more power than Grade III. Whether it is witchcraft, alchemy, or spellcraft. It happened every three levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A High Mage is significantly more powerful than the Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time, I had six months to upgrade. It was easier, with the few responsibilities. Seeing the tower being constructed in that period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, that wouldn’t be care with the whole tower turning into the legacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night is an example. There was so much work that I had slept past dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There will be a lot of responsibilities. It will be a challenge to find time to study the craft and work on upgrades. Not to mention, really expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know how much time I have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought it would take years for a legacy to advance to Grade III, but it had happened in less than a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most legacies take at least a decade to reach Grade IV from Grade III, but this isn’t a normal legacy. I will need to work thinking it will take less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone hears my thoughts. They would call me mad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every legacy could reach Grade III. Their vision that sparks the legacy is enough to take them to Grade III with sufficient time, but Grade IV is the real challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have full confidence that it will reach Grade IV and it will do it in less than most legacies take.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked out of my office, crossed the former range of legacy, and entered the garden, which covers half of the fourteen floors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked through the thick plants and soon saw the grey-skinned man standing by the column overlooking the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is the most dangerous man in the city. Stone had said he had no confidence to beat him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Silver,” he greeted as I stopped beside him. “Mage Irgal,” I said to the half-orc and turned to look at the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, I looked at the city from my office’s window or the roof. Very few times, from the edge of floors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place is forbidden to the most people. Even the girls are forbidden to come so close to the columns. Seeing, slipping means certain death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the legacy had covered the whole tower. That policy will need to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scenery is amazing in this place. It will invoke the heavy emotions of the people that we desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, I had prepared for it, or rather Caena did it with upgrades on the planets. It is quite a solution, but we have yet to test whether it works or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What can I do for you, my lord?” asked the man and my eyes turned to the garden surrounding the legacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s really beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not as beautiful as the one I am in right now, but still beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Network vines,” I replied, and the man smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, now that the entire tower turned to the legacy; there is no need for the network vines,” he said. Before turning to me with his smile wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These network vines are well grown. We are willing to pay a good price for them. Will even offer you our share of some plants in exchange for them,” he offered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it is my turn to smile before shaking my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have no interest in selling the network vines,” I said, with my eyes on the garden below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what are you going to do? W” he was mid-speaking when he suddenly stopped and looked where I was looking, and a big smile appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, so that’s what you want.” he understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How big?” he asked a moment, with the excitement flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About the same size as the garden below,” I replied, and a surprise appeared in the man’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t usually get surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s going to need a massive amount of emotion essence,” he informed me, and I smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is right. It will take a truly massive amount of essence because the garden below occupies nine times more area than the tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might consume a third or more emotion essence that legacy would produce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To me, the emotion essence produced by the legacy is a tool. I want to use it at maximum efficiency to get material and political benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emotion essence is always in demand. There is never enough supply or ever would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is even rarer than it is the plants grown using it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been a little over months since the legacy opened and we have harvested a few resources. There is a massive demand for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alchemists are crazy about them. As these things could be used in all sorts of things potions and medicines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have done calculations and plants give me more money than the essence. It also gives political power. Especially in the merchant states, Namdar, and other places that have high-level alchemists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have been contacted by various kingdoms; not only from the Zenid, but also outside of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the essence, the plants will take time to grow, and there are risks involved with it. Like someone destroying them with a spell or disease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will contact the mistress, then,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, I walked away from him. A lot of things will need to be discussed, like the kind of plants that will need to be planted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plants I planted in the legacy were to give patrons a sensory experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every plan in the legacy is beautiful and releases wonderful smells that are better than even the most expensive perfume.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The garden would be different. Here, commerce will be a priority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plants will be beautiful. Every plant is, especially those that absorb the emotion essence, but these plants will be planted with money in mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want to sell the plants to the alchemist, but I also need them for my own purpose. It would be incredible if I had succeeded in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There is a message from Archmage City. They have upgraded your invitation,” said Zela as I stepped back into my office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They acted fast,” I replied as I sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grade of the invitation depends on the grade of the legacy. Now that the legacy had reached Grade III; they upgraded the invitation as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upgrade comes with many benefits. Including the larger entourage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Master Silver, come to the roof, please.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was working, when a familiar voice of Caena rang out. I was about to ask her reason, but hearing the gravity in her voice, I decided not to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three and a half minutes later, I finished what I had been working on and walked out of my office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, I stepped onto the roof, where there is only Caena was present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at her, but she didn’t reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt her accessing the most powerful planet and a moment later. A yellow fireball materialized in front of her, which rapidly started getting bigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only stopped, till it became as big as a gym ball. Made of dense fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siege Fireball. A Grade 3 spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What we had expected had happened,” she said, and my expression turned serious. I hope it would not, but the laws of the world couldn’t be bent for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still a Grade III,” I said, and she nodded. “Its power had been amplified and some could say, it has a weak Grade IV power, but it’s still in the realm of Grade III,” she replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Equalizing,” I muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the grand ritual and power of legacy, we used to power. The spells used to jump the grade, but they couldn’t anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world had taken notice and suppressed the power of the spells. Their power is still amplified, but they cannot jump the grade like before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caena had already told me it would happen. The world would take notice and balance things out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about Grade I and Grade II spells?” I asked. “They can still jump the grade,” she replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who can cast Grade III spells are mages, while those who cast Grade IV spells are high-mages. There is a huge power difference between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the first battle, we needed three powerhouses and a lot of luck to keep the high mages contained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The equalizing made me disappointed, but I am happy with the fact that the outer range covers the whole city and Grade III spells could still be amplified to near Grade IV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we ever fall into a desperate state. We could use the spells from the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bury our enemies with so many spells. That breaching the wall would be the last thought in their mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap onto read 20 Advanced Chapters.
