35. Sweet Bakery

Aurelius and the MACUSA appeared to have reached an unspoken agreement, but this also marked the beginning of hostility.

Aurelius didn't care, but he couldn't ignore it. Who knows if one day I will give myself a hard blow? He shifted his focus from the global situation to the magical world of the United States, then to Majoris, and finally to his low-profile summoner plan.

The occupation controlling the rune puppet battle, extracted from the Summoner's Rift line, was named 'Puppet Master' by Aurelius.

This was the power that Aurelius intended to bestow upon his followers. Although the summoner's legacy can be passed down and taught, Aurelius currently has no plans to widely spread it like the puppet master's abilities. Ultimately, it comes down to control. The puppet master can exert a strong control effect through the crystal center. No matter how powerful the puppet master is, they will be controlled by the crystal center.

In this case, Aurelius certainly hopes for more puppet masters. However, it's not the same for summoners.

Firstly, there are only a limited number of defenders with heroic potential. Without powerful contracted heroes, summoners can only reach a certain level. If one simply wants to be a contracted defender, it would be better to learn to be a puppet master.

Secondly, talent is a factor. Anyone can learn to be a Puppet Master, but summoning requires specific requirements. If the puppet master is like a five-axis machine tool, the summoner is like a legendary eighth-level fitter.

The third and most important reason is that Aurelius hasn't figured out how to control the summoner's life gate. He possesses complete summoner heritage, and any interference would give him a significant advantage among summoners. However, this advantage doesn't equate to control. These days, Aurelius has been contemplating this issue. In the end, Aurelius decided on the contracting process. He chose to intervene in the contracts.

Any summoner who wished to protect a contract would have to pay attention to the finer details of the contract. Aurelius aimed to make the contract a disposable item, similar to a glass version of the summoning crystal.

This way, he would take advantage of the summoner's most crucial resource. But it wasn't enough.

Each puppet master consumed a large amount of summoning crystals, whether for upgrading or repairing damages.

On the other hand, each summoner could only use a contract once. "What else can be transformed into a resource monopoly?" Aurelius pondered, frowning. "Equipment souls? Summoner skills? Or runes? It couldn't be gold coins, could it?" "..." "Why couldn't it be gold coins?" Aurelius blinked as if he had discovered an oversight.

Gold coins are created from transformed gold to be used in equipment crafting. The ability to create gold coin columns seems to be a basic skill possessed by every summoner. However, Aurelius is the one who decides which summoners can create gold coin columns in this world.

If he can intercept the contract, he can intercept the creation of gold coin columns. No one else can make gold coins except him. This makes gold coins a unique material in high demand among other summoners who want equipment.

But once someone is equipped with Genesis, the need for gold coins diminishes. Genesis is a powerful piece of equipment that renders gold coins unnecessary.

However, there are still consumable items available for purchase. Are you interested in various mixtures, potions, or the life-saving stopwatch? Perhaps you envy the True Eye, which has a duration and can be used as a teleportation anchor. Or maybe you feel that the powerful thug Rift Pioneer Hala is not to be underestimated.

No interest in any of those items? If people don't care about you, what are you waiting for? If you don't act, you might end up getting beaten.

With contract control, gold coin monopoly, the separation of equipment souls into different professions, and the inclusion of runes, there is a strong level of control in place. The road ahead is clear for you to leave.

Aurelius smiled widely. He wasn't lying when he said he planned to travel the world. His purpose is to find materials to create the Crystal Hub.

Without his large puppet master, Puppet Master, serving him, even if he were to forcefully conquer the Magical Congress, it wouldn't be enough. Aurelius needs a magical world that he can control with ease to secure his place on the card table. He doesn't want to be a chaotic supervillain who wants to destroy everything.

The only thing he's missing is the Crystal Nexus. Majoris is on the right path, and Chastity will assist him in taking care of his home. Most of the children have already developed their magical powers and just need to practice step by step. Once Aurelius returns with the Crystal Nexus, these once-helpless children will become an unstoppable army.

Before he quietly left one early morning, Aurelius handed over his responsibilities to Chastity. But before his departure, he still wanted to answer one question: why does Modesty, the girl who sang "The Witch's Broom" and played hopscotch, have a magic wand?

This is an easy question to answer. Queens, Sweet Bakery. Aurelius entered the crowded shop with a smile, hat in hand. Mr. Kowalski, the chubby shop owner, was busy attending to customers, and his assistants were bringing in bags of flour from outside. The entire store was filled with unique and imaginative baked goods.

Aurelius noticed that several invisible creatures he had seen before, Dougal, Niffler, and Occamy, were also present. It's slightly larger and there are numerous Q-versions. Many of the dangerous-looking magical animals have been transformed into cute creatures through this style of painting, not to mention the already adorable Niffler.

The secret recipe, combined with its careful and exquisite shape, has become the signature formula of Sweet Bakery.

Jacob was constantly busy, hardly finding a moment to rest. He was always moving between the food pick-up port and the counter.

Sporting a friendly smile on his chubby face, he would occasionally strike up conversations with guests - content and satisfied with his current life.

Do what you love and earn the income you desire.

Aurelius would often observe Jacob and noticed a tinge of confusion and sadness on his face.

He too is burdened with troubles and feelings of emptiness.

He has lost someone very important.

What a coincidence!

Aurelius's purpose for coming is also related, as he too needs someone crucial.

Furthermore, it's possible that they both need the same person - Queenie Goldstein.
