In the center of the pool, Wang Hua stood quietly with an indifferent expression.
If a life is transformed like this without a soul before the transformation, then it is basically impossible for a soul to exist after the transformation.
And if the soul existed before the transformation, then whether the soul exists after the transformation depends on the specific circumstances.
Colin guessed that the king flower might be the latter type. It should be born with a soul. The fact that it is so sluggish now is probably the result of subsequent witchcraft transformation.
I just don’t know if it’s simply because some shackles have been added, or if my sense of autonomy has been erased.
"Your Excellency Fulun offered one million magic stones, is there anything higher?"
The auction continued, and the price soon climbed to one million magic stones.
Colin noticed that Andy beside him never made a bid, but just watched quietly.
"Your Majesty, won't you bid loudly?"
Andy glanced at him, slightly surprised, and then shook his head.
"This royal flower is only of the first level of advanced strength, and it is just a puppet. If it exceeds one million magic stones, it will not be cost-effective. Why buy it?"
"I see." Colin nodded, paused and asked again,
"Your Excellency seems to know Wang Hua very well..."
"What do you want to ask?" Andy raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.
Colin was not polite and asked: "What is the original prototype of Wang Hua before its transformation?"
"It's the King of Flowers." Andy smiled: "I guess this is your first time coming to Pansai City."
"Exactly." Colin replied calmly.
"No wonder." Andy nodded. He looked at Colin who looked calm and admired him even more.
"This so-called king flower is actually a kind of magical plant unique to Pansai. It is usually born in places with the densest flowers and the most vitality."
"Although they are humanoid, most of them are ugly in appearance and ferocious in temperament..."
"That is to say, they had autonomous consciousness at the beginning. What happens after the transformation?" Colin asked.
"Yes, after the transformation, there is no independent consciousness." Andy nodded and looked at Colin for a few times.
For the wizard in front of him to be able to ask such a question, it seemed that it was not as simple as he imagined. Even now, it seems quite mysterious.
Colin then continued chatting with Andy for a while, gaining a deeper understanding of Wang Hua's specific situation.
It's just... I still don't know anything about the more profound principles behind the transformation of witchcraft.
I don’t know if there will be such interesting witchcraft at tomorrow’s Miracle Meeting... Colin can’t help but look forward to it.
As for exploring the transformation principle behind Wang Hua, he is not that eager.
If you are destined to know, that would be the best. After all, you may be able to draw parallels and further improve the shadow of the elements.
However, if you can't, that doesn't matter.
His main witchcraft now is no longer elemental shadow.
Instead of spending energy to improve this second-level witchcraft, it is better to become familiar with the third-level witchcraft.
After less than half a quarter of an hour, the auction was finally settled.
A sorcerer named Mia bought the Royal Flower, which has the strength of a first-level senior wizard, for a high price of two million magic stones.
As Andy said, buying a royal flower with only a first-level wizard at such a price is obviously on the high side.
But in Colin's opinion, the price is not worth it. Compared with other puppets, this king flower is still much special.
】
"Two million magic stones are added to the account every three years. Your Excellency Andy's business is the envy of others."
After the auction ended, the wizards got up and left. A tall and thin male wizard smiled and walked towards Andy and said.
"It's just a gift from the family, not worth mentioning." Andy leaned back.
Colin glanced at Andy in surprise. He didn't expect that this so-called royal flower was actually the property of the wizard in front of him. That's why he behaved like this just now.
"What the family gives to you is naturally yours." The tall and thin wizard continued to flatter and compliment,
"The king flower has a ferocious temperament and likes to plunder vegetation and even devour humans. To cultivate it into what it is now, not only does it require a lot of investment, but also requires viewers to resolve their emotions every time it blooms..."
"Such things are by no means easy, and not just anyone can manage them."
Although the tall and thin wizard's tone was a bit flattering, his compliments were well-founded and not superficial. He should have put in some effort... Colin thought to himself.
But Andy on the side was not happy after hearing this, but his face became even colder and he urged:
"Okay, the auction is over. There is no second king flower. If you have nothing to do, just leave as soon as possible."
The tall and thin wizard was slightly startled.
"Uvel, you are new here. You may not know Andy's weird temper. If you want to make friends with him, you can't flatter him."
Another wizard said with a laugh. He was wearing a gorgeous golden and green witch robe, and was accompanied by two stern-looking guard wizards.
"Your Excellency Andy is famous for being informal and loves to make friends. He usually likes to hang out with those lowly mongrel wizards. Look at the guy next to him. Isn't he doing better than you?"
When Uvel heard this, his expression suddenly turned ugly and he smiled stiffly.
He didn't dare to say anything, either Zelu or Andy... they were all wizards he couldn't mess with.
Colin frowned, feeling a little funny.
This chatting can actually affect him.
Shaking his head, he didn't care. Now that the auction was over, it was getting late. It was time to go to the Supreme Council Hall in Pansay City.
I don’t know where to stay tonight...and I don’t know if the Pansay City Council has arranged a place for wizards like them who have come from afar.
Thinking about it, there should be some, one of the Nine Wonders of the City would not be so stingy.
Faced with Sapona's ridicule, Andy didn't pay too much attention and just said calmly:
"I'm different from some arrogant fools. I never care about status, strength, or even appearance when making friends. It's all based on preference."
"Oh, ordinary flowers are always in groups, but only king flowers can exist around king flowers. Some fools will never understand this truth!"
Not to be outdone, Sabona sneered coldly.
But compared to Andy's indifferent attitude, his tone was obviously much more angry, and he was obviously really angry.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Don't just talk, you two, let's duel again!" Some wizards who were walking slowly stopped because of the quarrel between the two, and they shouted without taking it too seriously to watch the fun.
.
"Who won last time?"
"It seems to be Andy."
"What about last time?"
"Sapona."
This group of wizards, who are from the top pure-blood families in Pansay City, are no strangers to the grudges between the two.
Even the reason why the two disliked each other in the first place has been basically forgotten.
But if they want to say which side they are more inclined to, it is naturally Sapona.
Andy... is completely an outlier among pure-blood wizards.
If it weren't for their good strength, they wouldn't even bother to associate with him.
At this time, Colin also understood the situation in front of him, and he laughed a little in his heart. He politely said to Andy: "I have something else to do, so I will leave first. Thank you for speaking out just now."
"Well, I'll see you later." Andy nodded gently.
Things in the world are so boring, and people in the world are so boring. If we live in a restricted manner, what's the point?
"Sapona, is your butt injury healed last time?"
Watching Colin go away, Andy turned to look at Sapona and asked "concerned", with a smile on his lips.
When Sapona saw this, she was really angry, her face suddenly turned red, and she shouted loudly:
"The Miracle Meeting will begin tomorrow. Then we will have the ability to compete to see who can break through the higher witchcraft tower!"
"That's what I meant." Andy laughed happily, then got up and walked away alone.
Sapona stayed where he was with a gloomy expression.
He really didn't like Andy at all. Although he didn't want to put him to death, if Andy died suddenly, he would only clap his hands and shout happily.
It's a pity that the family usually doesn't intervene in fights like theirs, and naturally they won't help. He can only rely on himself if he wants to breathe out.
However, what I have to admit is that Andy's talent is indeed not inferior to his. They have dueled many times, but each has a victory or defeat.
"Then Andy has really brought shame on our pure-blood wizards! Sapona, you have to defeat him severely tomorrow!"
"That's it, come and break into my witchcraft tower, I can help you."
Sapona looked at the wizards approaching him with a smile on his face, "Thank you, I will definitely make Andy look good tomorrow!"
In any case, at least in terms of popularity, Andy is definitely not comparable to him.
Andy has made friends with all kinds of people, from old and lustful prostitutes to bards who talk nonsense, to liars who don't know how to live or die... It's fine if these people don't cause him trouble, and they can also bring him trouble.
What can help?
Sapona sneered in her heart and smiled at the wizard next to her:
"Then I'll leave it to you all tomorrow. I heard that the Stannie family can no longer tolerate Andy's usual dissolute behavior. This time is just the time to make him return to his lost ways!"
…
It was already noon when we walked to the High Council Hall in Pansay City.
Compared with the unique buildings in the city, the parliament hall here is not much different from the one in Neustadt.
Thanks to this, Colin walked in with ease.
"Colin, what a coincidence. I didn't expect you to come so early."
In the lobby on the first floor, he unexpectedly met Raiden and his party.
"The journey is long, so stay ahead of time. If something unexpected happens, at least you still have a chance to make amends."
"Yes." Leiden smiled, then pointed to the wizards beside him and introduced them one by one: "This is my mentor Test, you should have met him before. This is Cliffs, my uncle..."
There were more than ten people in Leiden's group. Leiden introduced them and Colin also said hello.
And the wizards responded in the same friendly manner.
"Meredith was able to survive the crisis of farmland pollution safely, thanks to your Excellency."
Colin waved his hands and smiled, "I just did what I had to do."
After chatting for a while, everyone walked together. Colin then discovered that there was a wizard behind everyone. It seemed that he should be a staff member of the Supreme Council of Pansay City.
"The Supreme Council of Pansay City has prepared special accommodation for all wizards participating in the Miracle Meeting, but before that, you still need to follow me to the second floor to register and choose your favorite place to stay."
The staff member said, leading the way to the second floor.
Raiden slowed down his pace, walking at the end with Colin, and asked aloud:
"Your Excellency has just arrived in Pansay City?"
"Morning has already arrived." Colin shook his head.
"Oh, you arrived so early, why did you come to the synagogue now?"
"I went to visit Pansai City." Colin paused and suddenly asked: "Does Mr. Leiden know about King Flower?"
"You mean the special demonized creatures in Pansay?"
"Not entirely." Colin shook his head, "I saw a performance today..."
He told Raiden about the specially modified king flower he saw today.
"I should know what you are talking about." The latter nodded, "That should be the industry of the Stannie family. They are very good at transforming witchcraft puppets."
"Not only the transformation king flower, such as mechanical creations, but also various magical beasts and even elemental beings, they all have corresponding transformation witchcraft.
If you are curious, you can see it at the Miracle Meeting tomorrow."
Colin nodded and asked again: "Last time, Your Excellency left in a hurry, and there were still many questions that I didn't have time to ask."
"you say."
"How long do miracle meetings usually last?"
"Usually it's a week, but occasionally it can be extended. Mainly because some wizards may stay in a certain witchcraft tower for more than a week, but it can only last ten days at most before the Miracle Meeting ends."
"Witching Tower?" Colin wondered.
"I forgot to tell you, at the Miracle Conference, the first two days usually focus on showing all wizards the most advanced and representative witchcraft research selected by each Miracle City.
From the third day onwards, there will no longer be such concentrated displays, but free exchanges will begin."
Raiden organized his words and continued:
"Starting from the third day, every family that is qualified to participate in the Miracle Meeting will set up a witchcraft tower at the meeting.
This kind of witchcraft tower is not a real tower, but a virtual tower built with special means."
"Each force has different levels of witchcraft towers, but each floor will have one or several special ones, which are usually tests of witchcraft knowledge that this force is good at.
As long as you pass the corresponding test, you can obtain the corresponding knowledge behind the test. And because of the conventions of the Miracle Society, the knowledge in the Sorcery Tower is usually more precious."
"More importantly, every wizard who participates in the Miracle Meeting is qualified to break into the witchcraft tower of any force without any hindrance!"
Leiden smiled and finally said: "This is why I told you in the beginning that as long as you meet the conditions at the Miracle Meeting, you can gain knowledge."
"That's it." Colin's doubts were completely cleared.
There was nothing he could do about it, after all, he had never participated in the Miracle Meeting, and since Noyins and Xuelai's mentors were not here, he really had no way to learn about the relevant information about the Miracle Meeting.
The Stane family... He silently kept this information in his heart.
When you get the chance, try breaking into their witchcraft tower.
After all... there aren't many opportunities like this where you can obtain witchcraft knowledge for free.
If you still have some energy left, you can try to break into a few more interesting witchcraft towers.
