Chapter 1 The Twin Towers That Were About to Go Bankrupt

Grimm's third year. The end of the year.

The entire Hopeland Continent was filled with a festive atmosphere, ready to welcome the arrival of the New Year. Even the mage towers that stood tall in various regions of the continent were emitting powerful magic fluctuations from time to time.

It was a good year.

However, it did not seem to be the case for the Twin Mage Towers.

The Twin Mage Towers.

On the top floor.

The Finance Minister, Charles, had an angry look on his face.

"Gray, what's the news that is spreading out there?"

"Why's there news that the Magic Spring is about to dry up? Do you know what this means?!"

The Magic Spring. Its spring water was the basic material used to make magic potions. It was one of the most famous specialties of the Twin Towers.

Due to the existence of the Magic Spring, many mages were attracted to the Twin Towers.

Among them, there were some outstanding and genius mages.

However, there were rumors that the Spring Magic was about to be exhausted, so many mages were terrified. Some even showed the intention of leaving.

Charles was anxious about this.

Mages were the cornerstone of a Mage Tower.

The strength of a Mage Tower, in addition to the strength of the Tower Master, the most important thing was the number of powerful mages.

However...

Hearing Charles'question, Gray, who was the propaganda ambassador of the Twin Towers, was not in a hurry. He sat in the front row. He has a fat figure, and he was wearing a purple mage robe with an open collar.

"Don't worry, Charles. We all know what's going on."

"And besides..."

Gray changed the topic and looked at the gray-haired old man on the left. "Neil, the Magic Spring is under your jurisdiction. Why don't you tell us more about it?"

The Magic Spring was one of the resources of the Mage Tower and was managed by the Minister of Resources, Neil.

Neil nodded and stood up.

He first looked at the black stone chair at the top of the meeting hall. There was a young man sitting there. His face was clear, and he was wearing a mage robe embroidered with the Sun. This was the Sun Mage Robe that only an archmage was qualified to wear.

The young man was also the chairman of this meeting, the Tower Master of the Twin Towers, and the most outstanding successor of the Hermes family, Joss.

He was also the youngest archmage of the Hopeland Continent.

"Speak."

Joss looked at Neil calmly.

After transmigrating to the Magic World, he had even become the Hermes family's successor. Taking over the seemingly prosperous Twin Towers that had been losing money for many years. Joss was strong enough to manage all of them.

Moreover, he was an archmage.

His strength also gave him the qualifications to face many disasters.

After obtaining Joss' permission, Neil spoke.

"Charles, I want to make it clear that the news that the Magic Spring is about to be exhausted is not a rumor."

Before he finished speaking, a buzz sounded in the meeting hall.

The faces of the many members who were participating in the meeting changed suddenly. They were in disbelief at the news that Neil had announced.

How could the Magic Spring run dry!

However, if it was true...

Thinking of the consequences, the members became even more restless.

"Neil, are you sure that the Magic Spring is really running dry? Are you sure that no one is doing something bad behind our backs?"

Although he believed in his heart, Charles still suppressed his fear and hoped that a variable would appear.

Neil shook his head and looked dejected. "It's true that the source of magic power is about to be exhausted. There's another thing."

The discussion stopped.

Then, Neil continued, "Half a month ago, a purple wood was found in the south of the continent. It can also be used to make a magic staff. This purple wood has better magic conductivity. Most importantly, it's commonly found everywhere. This causes the price of purple wood to be much lower than the mahogany wood of the Twin Towers

"Therefore, it's very likely that our mahogany wood will be out of favor."

Mahogany wood could also be used to produce magic staffs. It was also one of the Twin Towers' important sources of income.

If the Magic Spring were to exhaust, many of the mage representatives would only feel uneasy. Hence, they were extremely terrified when they heard the news.

If these two sources of income were gone...

The Twin Mage Towers would go bankrupt!

Bankruptcy was really a big deal to all of them.

This meant that the Mage Tower, which was known as one of the best towers, would not have enough money to train potential mages, and no new mages would want to come to the Twin Mage Towers.

In fact, a large number of people would even leave.

The many chambers of commerce under the Mage Tower would also collapse because of this.

Other magic organizations, unions, holy churches, and so on would also withdraw from the Twin Towers. No one was willing to stay in the mage tower that had no future.

It was a fact

In the long run, the final fate of the Twin Towers would be that no one would care about it. In a few decades or a hundred years, it would become a wasteland, just like the other mage towers in the Hopeland Continent.

This was something that many mages did not want to see!

They had already established their footing in the Twin Towers. Once they left, everything would start all over again.

In front of everyone, Charles had an extremely depressed look.

He looked at the many mages of the Twin Towers who looked uneasy. He then tried his best to speak calmly, "It's true, but gentlemen, we are mages. We are existences that have grasped the truth!

"In the face of such a predicament, we should believe that we can solve it.

"So, everyone, please share your opinions."

The mages started their discussions again.

However, no one stood out.

If there was a problem with the common resources, they could use other resources to replace them.

However, these two were the core resources of the Twin Towers.

According to the records of the history of Hopeland, if the core resources of a mage tower were to go wrong, it would usually mean the beginning of the collapse of the mage tower.

After all, whether it was self-cultivation or experiments, the mages needed a large number of materials.

Without the supply of materials, the mage tower would not be able to sustain

"Damn it! What should we do!"

Seeing that no one had made any suggestions, Charles was even more anxious.

However, as the person in charge, he could not appear to be at a loss. He had to give the other mages confidence.

Charles then subconsciously looked toward Joss.

The latter supported himself on the black stone chair with one hand and rested his chin on his hand. He looked at the many mages who were discussing anxiously below with interest.

Since Charles was the closest to him, he could see him clearly

Not only was he calm, but he also had a smile on his face.

At such a critical moment, he was actually able to smile...

Wait!

Charles'eyes immediately lit up.

Even though they could not do anything, it did not mean that their chairman, Joss, could not do anything.

This was the youngest archmage on the Hopeland Continent. The chairman's reputation was well-known in many mage towers.

Perhaps, Joss had a solution?

Charles no longer hesitated. He then turned around and asked Joss respectfully, "Sir, you do have a solution, don't you?"
