Wizard: Starting from the Skill Tree

Selena said that the last time she had this feeling was when she first encountered magic and heard the tutor explain the three states of water.

She thought she had come a long way, but now she realized she was just standing at the threshold of a larger world.

Baroque placed his hand over the potion bottle on his chest, his voice hoarse and solemn.

He said he didn’t know how great the power behind His Excellency Duke was, but he knew that a civilization that could casually take out such things could not be compared to an Oracle Plane.

He had no other abilities, and if the Earth Sect needed any effort in the future, he would never refuse.

Zephiris did not speak, but his expression became much more solemn, placing greater importance on Duke and the power behind him.

Because no matter what, knowledge does not deceive.

The fact that Duke could bring out these things to solve the problems of the three in such a short time proved how powerful the force behind him was.

The three Great Mages reaching this level were not simple characters; from this knowledge, one could glimpse a vast knowledge system behind it.

This knowledge system could not have been created overnight; it must come from an ancient, powerful civilization.

And now, they were just seeing a corner of this civilization.

Duke unhurriedly took out some more things from the Space Ring, this time laying out a resource distribution list in the center of the long table.

The list was clearly detailed: the Light Sect as the core recipient received the largest share of all shared materials and resources, including two hundred sets each of the full set of Basic Meditation Method Manual, Magic Potion Introduction Manual, and Spell Optimization Manual, two hundred sets each of basic alchemy tools and Magic Potion Material Set, and a batch of special construction materials for Divine Hall construction.

The Three Great Sects received materials and resources of the same kind as the Light Sect based on their characteristics in water, earth, and wind, respectively, in quantities approximately 60% of that of the Light Sect, with the first batch of manuals and tools already organized and ready for dispatch in the Furnace Castle warehouse.

The Star Embers Guild side was uniquely managed by Robert, aside from the shared basic materials, they also had a batch of advanced manuals, including Intermediate Spell Optimization Theory and Introduction to Compound Potion Making, specifically for training the guild’s technical backbone, and this batch of advanced materials was not to be disclosed externally yet.

Duke emphasized that this was just the first batch. More batches of material and documentation would be sent to the Oracle Plane in succession, and the quantity and quality would gradually increase based on the Sect’s learning progress and actual needs.

He hoped that the Three Great Sects could quickly organize internal training, letting the first batch of mages who mastered the new knowledge become seed teachers for each, gradually spreading knowledge from point to point.

Dali flipped over the last page of the resource distribution list, closed the folder, and raised her head.

"There is one more thing to report to you." Her voice was not loud, but everyone in the meeting hall could hear the gravity in her words, "The Shadow Council has become active again recently. Several new mission points in the southern Rising Sun District were attacked consecutively, injuring two Priests and setting fire to a Divine Hall construction site. Knight Henry’s patrol tracked the attackers, but they dissolved into a cloud of black mist upon confrontation, indicating the use of Shadow Stealth Technique."

She opened another page of the folder densely recorded with unusual events reported by various Districts in the past half month.

"It’s not just on our territory; a Lakeside Monastery in the Water District was infiltrated last month, and several Water Attribute Magical Artifacts were stolen. A mining area in the Earth District collapsed, and miners reported hearing strange spell sounds before the collapse. A Messenger from the Wind District was ambushed while crossing a northern mountain pass; the opponent wore black robes with twisted shadow marks on their chest." She closed the folder and looked at Duke, "As we integrate the various Sect’s forces, intelligence sharing and joint patrols between Districts greatly compressed the Shadow Council’s activity space. Their bases in the Rising Sun District have been continuously discovered and cleared, but this has also driven them to retaliate more frantically. In the past, they only dared act covertly, but now they have begun openly attacking Sect bases."

Selena slightly frowned and took over the topic: "I personally investigated the Water District case. The protective arrays of the monastery were dismantled internally; someone used Shadow Energy to erode the rune structure at the array’s core. To bypass the outer alert and infiltrate the core area, at least a Level 2 Shadow Mage was involved."

Baroque let out a heavy snort from his nose and said that something also happened at his mine last month. A few miners dug into an old mineshaft deep in the tunnel, where the rock walls were covered with twisted Shadow Runes.

He sent people down to investigate, and of the three who went down, two disappeared, and the one who returned was mad, repeatedly mumbling about "the eyes in the abyss watching."

Duke shifted his gaze to Robert, who immediately understood and pulled out a player forum intelligence summary from the stack of materials before him.

"My lord, we have some special intelligence channels within the Shadow Council." He paused, choosing his words carefully. The so-called "special channels" might not be entirely comprehensible to the Great Mages present, but they had witnessed the Star Embers Guild players’ ability to resurrect, and knew these Blessed Ones had some means of intelligence transmission that were beyond the conventional understanding of the Oracle Plane, so no one pursued details.
