Chapter 90 People Who Don't Look Like Humans
At this moment, the Crimson Wizard was considering which of the three spells she had obtained from her bloodline would be most suitable to exchange with Loon.
"Linguish magic!" the Crimson Wizard couldn't help but think.
For wizarding apprentices, levitation is arguably one of the most alluring spells.
After all, this is the closest thing to the art of flight.
Even setting aside all other considerations and focusing solely on getting there—knowing how to levitate and not knowing how to levitate are two completely different concepts!
At the wizarding apprentice level, in their current plane, offensive spells are recognized as among the most precious and valuable spells.
—But the value of levitation is also widely recognized, no less than that of offensive spells.
It's even more precious than offensive spells!
The reason for this is quite simple.
Not every wizard enjoys fighting and killing others.
But every wizard travels, and in the process of gathering resources, they will encounter all sorts of treacherous terrains—and in those treacherous terrains, the levitation spell is far more effective than offensive spells.
For example, if you are trapped at the bottom of a cliff and don't have the ability to levitate, you will only be trapped and die there.
But if you have the levitation spell, you can cast it on yourself and climb up the cliff face...
This single spell can turn around countless dead ends and save countless lives; one can only imagine.
That is why the transmission of this magic is extremely secretive.
The reason is equally simple.
If an enemy wants to deal with you, the preparations they make before attacking you are completely different depending on whether they know you can levitate or not.
When you are attacked or fall into a trap, your chances of escaping or even turning the tide are completely different.
Therefore, the vast majority of wizards who have mastered levitation will hide!
I will try my best to keep it a secret from others that I can levitate.
Just like the wizard Lesson, in order to conceal his secret of being able to levitate, he simply caught a large bird and pretended that the bird was a flying, ferocious beast. He claimed that he rode the flying, ferocious beast around instead of being able to levitate.
As for the even more wondrous art of flight than levitation, that is an even more secretive tradition.
In this world, wizards who know levitation occasionally appear, but wizards who know how to fly are truly unheard of.
Previously, she and Loon joined forces to kill the wizard Recent—and obtained a scroll from Recent, which was the scroll of the levitation spell.
But that spell scroll was already activated—clearly, when the wizard Resent threw it out before his death, he had already secretly activated it, destroying the spell model inside to prevent Loon and the others from gaining more benefits.
Upon discovering this, the Scarlet Wizard was also enraged, wishing he could resurrect the wizard Lycent, who had been torn apart by the shark, and kill him again—after all, such an act of destroying 'trophies' before death was extremely hateful.
After that incident, the Scarlet Wizard thought that she would never be able to learn the levitation spell again.
But now...
For the Crimson Wizard, Loon used the levitation spell in front of her, enveloping her in its effects and making her aware of its existence.
This already constitutes a certain level of communication.
This means that she could potentially obtain the levitation spell from the Thunder Wizard.
The only question is whether the spell she uses can be compared to the levitation spell.
"Perhaps, this spell can be exchanged with the Thunder Wizard."
"However, now is not the time to exchange spells."
"Let's talk about it after the matter of Viscount Iron Sword is settled." The Crimson Wizard made the decision not long after.
The carriage moved swiftly through plains and valleys, across ravines and over bridges.
The closer they got to Iron Felt City, the smoother the road became, and the lighter the carriage moved.
Along the way, Luo Ang and his companions passed through more than one village, some large and some small.
In some villages, markets and tax offices were even set up.
Without exception, every village was lifeless.
Every farmer's face was lifeless.
In addition, Loan also saw fertilizer sales points in some villages—people were selling fertilizer to the farmers.
No, to be precise, it wasn't peddling, but rather forced buying.
As the carriage passed by briskly, Luo Ang saw clearly that a person placed a bag of fertilizer directly on a farmer and then forcibly took a copper coin from the farmer's hand.
A fertilizer costs only one copper coin.
This is such a great deal, you can imagine.
But the farmer who "bought" the fertilizer was not happy; instead, he was devastated and his limbs went weak.
It was as if "buying" this fertilizer was a tremendous disaster.
After witnessing this scene, when passing through other villages, Luo Ang also focused his attention on the fields next to the villages—there were very few traces of fertilizer used in the fields!
It's as if the farmers are doing everything they can to avoid using this fertilizer—as if they have an inexplicable fear of fertilizers that increase yield.
"Without a doubt, the promotion of fertilizers is definitely a good thing for farmers."
"This will allow the same land to produce more food and feed more people!"
"And people are cunning—even if someone deliberately misleads those farmers, they may not use fertilizer, or even forbid them from using fertilizer altogether."
"But as soon as someone sees the increased yield brought about by fertilizer, someone will definitely use fertilizer secretly."
"This is something that absolutely cannot be stopped!"
"The reason why Teacher Lan Hua and her team were able to win this battle is not only because they have sufficient strength, but also because the fact that those fertilizers can increase production is already widely known."
"Even if the wizards blockade it, there will definitely be more people who will use their power and interests to figure out how to make fertilizer. Judging from the fact that the residents of the Orchid Islands collect bird droppings and fish bones, making fertilizer is no longer the exclusive domain of wizards."
"But why are the villagers of Iron Sword Territory so terrified and so resistant to fertilizer?"
"The people of Iron Sword Territory have accomplished what even those conservative wizards couldn't do back then."
"Amazing, truly amazing." Luo Ang slowly lowered his gaze, distancing himself from his thoughts and stabilizing his connection with the levitation technique.
He did not get out of the car to find the farmers and ask them why they rejected the fertilizer.
—Clearly, these villagers have become 'accustomed' to being exploited, and it's difficult to get the real reasons out of them.
Of course, if you force them, you can indeed get the reason out of them.
But why bother?
These people are already pitiful enough, so why bother bullying them?
Why put pressure on them in this way?
"Iron Felt City".
"Viscount Iron Sword"
"Let me see if I can get the answer from you."
"Let me see how you managed to do something that even conservative wizards from two hundred years ago couldn't do."
"How did you manage to make these farmers, who tend to the fields, not even dare to have the desire to increase the yield of their crops!"
In the blink of an eye, Luo Ang's gaze grew even colder.
The levitation technique Long Gai used on the carriage seemed to have added a touch of chilling mystery to the scene—a chilling atmosphere that seemed to transform into a cold wind, making the carriage move even faster.
Before long, Iron Felt City finally came into Loen's view.
