Chapter 493: Transformation (Part 2)
But all the wizards in the hall understood—
The Yanan World is likely to face an unprecedented and unstoppable great transformation!
Lentria clutched the council proclamation in his hand, staring blankly at the white clouds not far away, suddenly feeling a sense of helplessness rising in his heart.
The last time he felt this way was when he was very young, out playing and encountered a fierce Snow Monster.
He watched as his accompanying guards, also his playmates, struggled to survive under the hands of the Snow Monster, unable to offer any help...
Retracting his gaze, Lentria gently exhaled, the resentment he held towards Colin suddenly dissipating like smoke.
He understood that his resentment was as laughable as a child complaining about the sun being too hot, and pondering it only brought shame.
"Worthy of being the Master of Miracles..." a wizard suddenly murmured in sentiment.
These words were soft as the wind, yet they blew into the hearts of all wizards.
A world with great power resting within oneself, where Colin, wielding higher-level power, rightfully should be the supreme ruler.
Not to mention, this new power brought what the Wizard World most desperately lacked—
Hope.
They finally understood why the Supreme Councilman nominated Colin as the Master of Miracles...
A new era is about to dawn.
If these old-era nobles still refuse to bow their heads, then what awaits them will be a heavy fall from the clouds.
...
In the years that followed.
Starting with Neustadt and Graham, the remaining eight miraculous cities successively submitted themselves.
The nobles of the old era respectfully offered their authority to Colin.
The entire Siya Continent was officially brought under the control of the Master of Miracles.
Meanwhile, Colin not only enacted significant reforms in education, initially popularizing basic education, and fully disseminating the knight's cultivation methods, but also made great achievements in agriculture, industry, and other aspects concerning people's livelihood.
Especially in agriculture, after promoting witchcraft breeding and mechanized farming, the overall grain production on the Siya Continent multiplied several times compared to before!
The price of food became unprecedentedly low, and a large number of serfs were liberated from the fields, entering the booming handicraft industry.
The productivity of the entire Siya Continent reached an unprecedented height!
The newly added population also repeatedly hit new highs!
...
Ten years later.
The Siya Continent completely transformed.
Skyscrapers rose from the ground, the streets were busy with traffic, carriages had been eliminated, only the nostalgic nobles would ride them, while magic machines became mainstream.
The pedestrians on the streets were generally well-dressed, and even in some small towns of ordinary people, it was rare to see destitute vagrants... The advent of mechanized textile production made previously expensive clothing affordable.
The material living standards of the people on the Siya Continent had reached unprecedented levels!
Colin wore an ordinary gray robe, and with the help of witchcraft, he moved through the streets of Graham City like a ghost.
Over these years, aside from cultivating and handling governmental affairs, this was what he did most often.
Though he had witnessed everything happen with his own eyes, to this day, as he walked on the smooth and tidy roads, it still felt somewhat unreal.
In just a mere decade... On many occasions, the changes he personally brought to the Siya Continent reminded him of the reform that occurred in his homeland at the end of the twentieth century.
Equally rapid, equally earth-shattering.
Dong, dong, dong!
The clear sound of a bell suddenly rang out from beside him.
Colin paused slightly, moments later, a group of young boys and girls in uniform wizard robes streamed out from the white building on his right.
The pedestrians on the street glanced at them, their eyes filled with envy.
This white building was a middle school.
These young boys and girls, seemingly tender in appearance, were at least Advanced Wizard Apprentices and Advanced Knight Apprentices.
The top among them had even reached the level of First Rank Wizard!
And upon graduation, at least eighty percent of them would become First Rank Wizards. Among them, some geniuses might even advance to Second Rank Wizards, or concurrently become First Rank Wizards and First Rank Knights, successfully recommended to the university!
Seeing the students' figures fade away, Colin had a look of contentment on his face.
Due to the different circumstances of the world, the middle school students in the Wizard World generally only had one opportunity to leave school and return home for a holiday once a month or even two to three months, so it wasn't easy to catch sight of this scene.
Shaking his head lightly, Colin continued along the street.
Over the past ten years, the greatest change has been in the overall strength of the wizards.
In these years, all his efforts were fundamentally aimed at enhancing the overall strength of the Wizard Clan.
The results were indeed remarkable.
In ten years' time, thanks to the popularization of the knight's path, the number of wizards able to achieve Third Rank combat power almost doubled, and the number of wizards reaching First and Second Rank combat power multiplied several times over!
The only regret was that the time was still too short, with little enhancement in high-level combat power, merely adding a dozen or so individuals capable of reaching Fourth Rank in combat power.
"Teacher, you're back."
Unknowingly, Colin had already reached his Wizard Tower, dispelling his concealing witchcraft.
The Witch sitting on the first floor of the Wizard Tower put down the book she was holding and came towards him.
"Mm, have you encountered any difficulties in your cultivation lately, Eliel?" Colin asked, "You're about to advance to the Fourth Rank, right?"
This sister of his old friend from Blackstone Island was his first formal student.
After becoming the Master of Miracles, Colin went to search for his old friends, some were still alive, but more had already died due to various reasons.
