I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 1058 - 556: Jade Tree · Magic Girl (Transformation Version) 2

"So, if you can avoid investigating, it's best not to go. The curse is still spreading, not only in the Thorny Lion Territory but also in nearby noble territories."

"The church might already be aware, and soon someone should be sent to investigate."

Seeing Wu Mu's silence, the other person, in light of the good food and drink on the table, kindly reminded him.

"I understand, I'll consider it carefully." Wu Mu naturally couldn't bluntly reject the other party, as that would be quite tactless.

It's one thing to be arrogant with peasants, but facing someone from the same class as himself, he definitely couldn't do that.

The Knight didn't care about Wu Mu's opinion; whether he courted death or not wasn't his concern.

Currently, this curse in the Thorny Lion Territory is called the Jade Curse. It's named that way because Korsi planned to rename his territory to Jade Tree, which was seen as highly rebellious behavior, attributed to the curse's influence.

Therefore, this devil's curse naturally got the name Jade Curse.

He didn't plan to tell Wu Mu about these things, knowing it would be inappropriate and might provoke dislike.

It's not like he couldn't tell that Wu Mu was likely just a Knight from the Thorny Lion Territory, merely sent out on a task and thus escaped the disaster.

The other party intends to return now, which will inevitably lead to trouble.

...

"The Hogwarts Witchcraft Academy is finally completed." Gu Shanhai looked at this witchcraft academy with great satisfaction.

There was a line of small text on the school's plaque, indicating it's an unknown base of the Five Elements Sect.

Gu Shanhai didn't need to worry about copyright issues, as the original was called the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

It's basically the difference between Li Kui and Li Gui; the original is a magic school, while Gu Shanhai's is a witchcraft academy, not related at all.

"Yo!" Little White leisurely walked over, indicating it would be the headmaster in the future, the White Robe Wizard Gandalf!

"Can't you stop sewing names together? Why not be Erik, the Magnetic King who handles the Golden Gate Bridge," Gu Shanhai quipped.

The Magnetic King at least has some connection with Dumbledore; aside from being old, Gandalf and Dumbledore aren't even the same species.

Don't be fooled by Gandalf's human appearance; he's not a human but a Maia, known as a god.

"With that antlered head of yours, I think you shouldn't overthink it."

Little White gazed at Gu Shanhai's hair, pondering where to start nibbling. Ever since it cultivated the three-piece suit, it felt it might be able to chew on Gu Shanhai's hair without getting beaten by it.

"What suicidal act are you plotting this time?" Gu Shanhai squinted his eyes, realizing Little White's gaze was fixed on his hair.

Little White quickly shook its deer head, indicating that it wasn't.

"Next up is enrollment."

"Hogwarts uses owls, but let's not; they are too troublesome to keep."

"Do you have any suggestions?"

Gu Shanhai looked at Little White, giving it a sense of foreboding.

"Yo?" Little White suggested perhaps using Heart Demon Dao Soldiers, since it would save money and effort.

"Not quite right, I think using deer would be nice," Gu Shanhai revealed his hidden agenda.

Little White's eyes widened, retreating three steps.

It wasn't oblivious to Gu Shanhai's intentions; this meant it had to deliver letters and pick people up.

Its entire demeanor screamed refusal.

"Do you have any problems? We can discuss them," Gu Shanhai said with a sly smile.

"Yo!" Little White indicated it didn't have a problem, but it was close to a breakthrough in its cultivation, and it was a crucial moment. If something went wrong during enrollment, why not choose someone better, like the Azure Dragon?

"Azure Dragon won't do, but you've been diligent recently, almost breaking through."

"If the cultivation technique I gave you had the concept of a breakthrough, I might have actually believed your nonsense."

Gu Shanhai quipped; a breakthrough implies breaking through a bottleneck to reach a higher level. The core is the bottleneck, but unfortunately, the cultivation technique Gu Shanhai gave Little White had no bottlenecks. Gradual cultivation would continuously strengthen his status. Even if there were bottlenecks, given Little White's state, it couldn't have reached it yet.

Seeing this, Little White could only give an awkward smile, realizing it couldn't evade this task.

"I've already selected the candidates. For now, we will enroll three classes, a total of ninety people." Gu Shanhai spoke as he handed a list to Little White, indicating it should bring the people over.

Gu Shanhai chose these people through prophetic divination; they are future wizard seeds, and they're still young, unlike Isso, whose thinking is set in its ways and can be improved.

Little White disgruntledly took the list with its hoof, realizing it couldn't escape this task after all.

"Yo?" Little White took the list and put it away, asking Gu Shanhai what he intended to do with them, as it seemed pointless.

They're not protagonists; they have to be nurtured from the start. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"A protagonist, right? I decide who it is."

"After a while, once I deal with Isso, I can choose one from these ninety to be the protagonist, maybe even cultivate a Dumbledore," Gu Shanhai casually remarked.

If the initial protagonist didn't work out, he had to switch.

Gu Shanhai completely gave up on Isso, as the entire Thorny Lion Territory is now a gathering place for those bewitched Magic Girls, developed beyond Gu Shanhai's expectations.

The combination of the self-discipline engine and magic-blooded madness proved extraordinarily effective, even shocking Gu Shanhai.

Everyone has magical blood genomes, a gene inherent in humans of the Wizard World, though the amount determines awakening potential.

Once the self-discipline engine is installed, it forcibly increases the number of gene segments, meaning the concentration of magical bloodlines rises, improving qualifications.

Some even manifest bloodlines left by bloodline wizards.

Like the Viscount Lord, she successfully activated the Thorny Lion bloodline power, even if just a little. That power caused her to develop lion-like features, such as lion ears.

Due to current news blockages, the spread of this information is slow, otherwise it would already cause a huge stir.

Now the entire Thorny Lion Territory has become a large self-disciplined radiation source continuously expanding outward. Anyone passing by or seeking intel will, after a certain distance, get infected by memetic pollution formed by madness, and then receive a self-discipline engine.

Afterward, gene segments start to change, and eventually a Kampfer Bracelet forms on their hands.

The bracelet cannot be removed, and over time, various abilities and conditions like the Fragmented Dream Sword Technique, Self-love Curse, Daoxin Demon Planting Technique, and Divine Princess Bloodline get installed and activated.

Moreover, each Magic Girl maniac is a small radiation pollution source, albeit less potent than the Thorny Lion Territory; prolonged exposure results in greater accumulated pollution until a threshold is reached, leading to the emergence of a Kampfer Bracelet.

And if the Self-love Curse fuses with the maniacs' pure beliefs, extremism forms, resulting in chaotic personalities.

It's even more extreme than those practicing the primitive Spirit Martial Path in the Azure Sea World.

This time, Gu Shanhai does not intend to rectify anything but rather plans to add more fuel to the fire.

Otherwise, why establish a witchcraft academy, if not to push forth a force to rival these Magic Girl maniacs?

With the situation in the Thorny Lion Territory, neither nobility nor the church is a match.

It's like ordinary people confronting those with transcendent power; did they really think powerless nobility could command a group of maniacs?

It's absurd.

When the Magic Girl maniacs in the Thorny Lion Territory get disturbed and realize a clueless group also exists, it will become a slaughterfest.
