Its true potential was simply beyond calculation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If nurtured properly, it could raise the mana density not just in the surrounding region but quite possibly across the entire planet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if that happened… would Tron’s mana ceiling still be limited to the Mana Core Rank?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although getting to that point may take a long amount of time, the possibility of that happening was quite real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that raised the question—why hadn’t the members of the Brotherhood stationed here reported this information to their superiors?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the organization’s strict chain of command, Hudson should have relayed news of such a discovery without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he hadn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why?” Adam asked again, his brow furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole situation struck him as both perplexing and illogical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why didn’t you report this to the higher-ups? A discovery this astounding deserves to be brought to a Councilor’s attention, in fact. So why didn’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hudson blinked a few times, then spoke matter-of-factly. “Because you were the one who planted this tree.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eh?” Adam was sent into a daze. “What did you say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wanted you to be the first one to know, my lord,” Hudson said earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured toward the raven-haired youth and continued, “Because you were the one who planted this tree.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he glanced around at the townfolks, a faint smile tugging at his lips. Over time, he had grown fond of the people here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning back to Adam, he concluded, “And because this town bears your name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam didn’t know how to respond. After a long time, he couldn’t help but ask, “Are you serious?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very serious, my lord.” Hudson chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused for a moment before adding, “Now that I’ve informed you of this development, I can begin sharing with the higher-ups, if you wish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam would be lying if he said he wasn’t touched by Hudson’s gesture. But, at the same time, he also found his actions quite foolish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Withholding information about such a significant discovery from the higher-ups was unwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he really did have to thank Hudson for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, from what he had learned in his travels recently, he would think twice before trusting the higher-ups of the Twilight Brotherhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes suddenly narrowed, and he habitually stroked his chin, thinking to himself, If even Headmistress Godfrey turned out to be a cultist…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I fear there might be spies in the Brotherhood as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given that the Cult Leader and Lord Aldo Wagner were sworn brothers, and the Cult of Bones and the Twilight Brotherhood were founded around the same time…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be safe to assume that both have planted spies in each other’s ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if the Cult has infiltrated the upper echelons of the Brotherhood… that would be a serious problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s only one person I can trust…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Hudson and calmly stated, “Let me think on it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hudson frowned. “My Lord… is there any problem?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen the troubling expression on the youth’s face and couldn’t help but wonder if there was something bothering him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam smiled faintly, shaking his head. “I’m just wondering who the best person to share this with would be.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned towards the ash tree and added, “I think having a Herbalist take charge of this matter would be the most ideal solution.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hudson’s eyes lit up. “That is correct, my lord. I was of a similar mind as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused for a moment, thinking of the right words to say. Actually, he had been waiting for Adam to suggest that idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he spoke, “My Lord, give your close connection to this matter, your status as a Mana Vortex Magus, and your skills as a capable Herbalist… how about you take charge?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam chuckled as he shook his head. “No, I’d rather not.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about all the things he had on his plate at the moment, he really didn’t have the time to sit here, study, and protect the ash tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he did have someone in mind who would be more than happy to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know just the person,” he said with a smile. “A splendid Herbalist, better than me, even. And most importantly, he’s also a Mana Core Magus.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hudson was pleasantly surprised. He considered himself well-informed on the current affairs of the Twilight Brotherhood, yet he couldn’t recall any Councilor who matched Adam’s description.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But, my lord,” he began. “I don’t think there is a Herbalist on the Council of Dawn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam’s lips curled into a smirk. “There will be.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then got up from his seat, offering the two a faint nod. “I’ll be staying the night here and then leaving tomorrow morning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hudson and Kenley immediately got to their feat. The former asked eagerly, “My Lord, you will tell me who that Herbalist is, won’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rest assured, my friend,” Adam said with a reassuring smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he turned around to walk away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right at that moment, Kenley gritted his teeth and gathered the courage to speak, “My Lord, I have a request!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam turned around and shot him an inquisitive gaze. “What is it, Kenley?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Acolyte smiled nervously as he conjured dozens of rolled parchments, setting them on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He awkwardly scratched the back of his head and softly muttered, “My Lord, would you… mind signing these for the boys back at the base?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam rolled his eyes. He waved his hand over the table, putting away the parchments inside his earrings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around and walked away, leaving behind his parting words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take them tomorrow morning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam found a modest inn to spend the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After setting up protective runes on the floor, by the door, and across the windows, he changed into a comfortable set of garments and lazily sat down on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adjusting the pillows behind him, he leaned back slightly, then conjured a wine gourd and a flat cup from his earrings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly sipped the wine, lost in thought, pondering the mysteries of the ash tree he had planted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why had the Great Mother blessed it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would become of Constantine in a few years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What of Tron in a hundred, or a thousand years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would the planet’s mana ceiling truly rise, as he speculated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As question after question filled his mind, his eyelids grew heavy. Within moments, he drifted off to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was the fatigue built up from the constant travel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps, it was something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that night, something unusual occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It began… in his dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two more in a few hours…\u003C\u002Fp>",1142,"2026-05-29T04:45:00.825Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.309Z",1,"novelbin.me","3f849ec0183dd80ff1400a6e25c6cd91f07d21e882c75bbbef8383961f36682b","greatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-chapter-856","greatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-chapter-854",1765,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-cover.jpg"]
