Chapter 206: The Unlucky Tree of Wisdom
The fresh green leaves looked alive and vibrant because the tree itself wasn’t dead.
No one knows when it happened, but the lord of Blood Moon City, who had no talent for crafting magical items, turhis Tree of Wisdom into a druid's sedary nature staff.
Brimming with natural energy, even without any processing, it could be used as a spellcasting medium, enhang natural spells by +2 levels!
This was a testament to the lord's talent for crafting magical items!
While outwardly curious and the various magical items, Matthew was secretly fog on the basic attributes of the Tree of Wisdom.

"Haha, this Tree of Wisdom really is unlucky. It could have been developed by anyone, but it ended up in the hands of the city lord..."
Seeing the detailed attributes, Matthew’s excitement grew. The tree’s attributes were even more impressive than those he had seen in the game.
Matthew recalled the lucky person who had previously bought the Tree of Wisdom.
After disc its mysteries, they spent hundreds of thousands of gold s to nurture it.
The Tree of Wisdom, when rooted, sprouted, and matured, produced a magical material called the Fruit of Wisdom.
Eating a single Fruit of Wisdom would increase intelligence by 1 point.
Each person could e up to 3 fruits, and the wisdom attribute couldn’t exceed 20 points.
The Wisdom Aura, a legendary bloodline, was clearly of a much higher caliber than the fruit, with eveer potential.
Just imagine, after acquiring the Tree of Wisdom...
Even if Matthew did nothing and just pced the tree in the ter of Bay Town, it could tinuously nurture a rge number of talented spellcasters.
This would greatly enhahe potential of his territory, far more than g nd or exploiting a mine.
A whimsical thought crossed Matthew’s mind:
"The effect of Wisdom Aura is way better than any school district property..."
"If the Tree of Wisdom recover, as its prows, maybe it could activate even stronger bloodline effects..."
"However, even a ‘weakened’ version of the Tree of Wisdom required hundreds of thousands of gold s to nurture."
"How much would it cost to cultivate the real thing? It’s probably going to be another bottomless pit!"
Matthew could foresee that the trolls’ hard-earned ‘tributions’ would likely only be enough to support the territory’s development.
The ever-growing appetite of Yaya and the Tree of Wisdom might need even more wealth.
Thinking this, Matthew felt a slight headache.
But for such a happy problem, he had plenty of methods and tricks for the future.
Since he inteo acquire the Tree of Wisdom, Matthew couldn’t act too directly to avoid drawing attention.
He knew well that there was an iing tower spirit within this mage tower.
Watg the eager Hao Dazhuang and Hao Dapeng leading the way, wanting to quickly finish the "deal," Matthew casually approached and asked while looking at a carriage priced at 5,888 gold s:
"Hmm? What’s special about this carriage? I see space array patterns on it."
Hearing Matthew’s question, the brothers immediately turned, seeing him examining the carriage, and exged a quice.
"Is this Arist pnning to buy an item?"
"He seems really ied. Could this lead to something ued?"
"Maybe he’s trying to use this opportunity to ect with the city lord?"
"A rge teleportation array valued at over 100,000 gold s—this Arist is certainly wealthy..."
"Let’s give it a try. If he doesn’t buy, we won’t lose anything. But if he does, we’ll hit the jackpot!"
"Good idea!"
With perfect coordination, the brothers instantly burst into ahusiastic expnation.
Hao Dazhuang hurried over to expin the carriage to Matthew.
Hao Dapeng carefully reviewed the information on the carriage, climbed in, and opehe door to demonstrate.
"The interior of this carriage is quite spacious, around 300 square meters, enough to set up living quarters, a study, or a bedroom."
"Moreover, Master ... I mean, the craftsman, reinforced the space structure inside and outside the carriage."
"The exterior supports a teleportation array, while the interior allows the use of scrolls or teleportation spells, making it very ve."
"Additionally, the external structure has been reinforced to resist mid-level physical and magical attacks..."
"..."
Listening to the detailed expnation, Matthew houghtfully, secretly amused:
"As expected, the city lord is already preparing to execute her pn..."
He was well-acquainted with this carriage—both its internal aernal features were excellent. sidered a magical version of a traveling RV or mobile base, it opur among many pyers.
However, the carriage had oal fw.
After listing all the carriage's advantages, Hao Dazhuaated before relutly telling Matthew:
"The only drawback is that due to the materials, the structure is not very stable."
"Once space is activated, every day you’ll o cast a 3rd-ring ‘Space Stabilization’ spell, or the structure will colpse."
Matthew feigned a shocked expression, watg the brothers’ helpless faces, but internally, he was ughing.
"Indeed, even the fw is exactly the same."
A 3rd-ring ‘Space Stabilization’ scroll cost about 800 gold s.
Which meant the daily expense would be 800!
Truly terrifying!
For those capable of using it, there were plenty of alternatives.
Even other spellcasters wouldn’t waste valuable spell slots or mana on this.
However, Matthew had other pns and purposes.
So, when the brothers started to feel disappointed, Matthew preteo e to a realization, nodding with difficulty and muttering:
"Casting a Space Stabilization spell daily? It’s not impossible..."
"But I haven’t learhat spell yet."
Seeing hope rekindled in Hao Dazhuang’s eyes, his chubby face broke into a ical smile as he eagerly said:
"No problem! rovide you with five Space Stabilization scrolls at a cost of only 50 gold s each, enough to st until you learn the spell!"
Hao Dapeng eagerly nodded in agreement, afraid Matthew might think they were lying, and immediately produced the scrolls.
Impressed by their sharp business sense, Matthew chuckled inwardly, then nodded and said:
"Alright, then. I’ll take this carriage; it’ll serve as a nice mode of transportation."
"Oh? What’s this magical item for? Does it have any special features?"
