Chapter 511 – Magic Levels Skyrocket

“Witches can buy a card at half the price compared to other races! When the time comes, everyone can resell cards and make a fortune,” Lilith said.

“That’s not all!” Mo Lan said with a smile. “If one day the Dawn Society becomes a form of magic that every spellcaster on the Mainland can’t do without, the price of all cards will be determined by how each race treats witches. The friendlier they are to witches, the lower the card prices. When that happens, every spellcaster on the entire Mainland will be a friend to the witches!”

Lilith, Vasida, and Sylph had never imagined this. While they were still thinking about how to strengthen themselves, Mo Lan had already been thinking about using her own power to shelter all witches.

Right now, all they felt was a deep sense of gratitude that they were Sorceresses living in the same era as Mo Lan.

They had all read Mo Lan’s copy of Mo Lan’s 《The Path of the Sorceress》, and they knew how the Sorceress predecessors had broken through to Beyond Peak level step by step, accumulating mana along the way.

Essentially, they had hidden their Sorceress identities, stayed tucked away in safe places, slowly building up their power and raising their magic levels. Only after surpassing Peak level and gaining the strength to stand toe-to-toe with other races did they finally reveal themselves as Sorceresses.

Their Sorceress Magic had mostly only spread among witches.

Even now, hundreds of years later, their Sorceress Magic hadn’t spread widely outside the Wilds.

It was rare to encounter members of other races who knew Sorceress Magic.

Only Lady Carmela’s Contract Books were somewhat popular among other races, but most of those were written by witches who knew the Golden Pen Technique.

If they hadn’t listened to Mo Lan and benefited from her influence, the three of them would probably have done the same as their predecessors—hiding, accumulating mana, and only daring to venture out of the Wilds after surpassing Peak level.

But now, having left the Wilds just over a year ago and only truly entering human nations a few months ago, they had already gained a large batch of Dawn Society initiates.

The Dawn Society membership contract was essentially Mo Lan’s Card Magic contract.

Once the initiates in Lance City officially joined the Dawn Society, Mo Lan’s mana would surge dramatically.

After that, their Contract Book Cards would also become accessible to Society members, who could purchase them and sign contracts.

Even if the Dawn Society ultimately couldn’t spread smoothly from Lance City across the entire Mainland, they would still be able to surpass Peak level very quickly.

Above Peak level, there were many more tiers, but in Valen, one could only exert power at an energy level of 9999 Mana or below.

This was the constraint that Valen’s consciousness imposed on all living beings within the world. The Well of the Sky was the true battlefield for those Beyond Peak level.

“Moira! How much mana do you have now?” Lilith asked.

Mo Lan took out her Status Card and glanced at it.

【Mana: 9872/9989 Mana】

“9989 Mana?” Lilith exclaimed in shock. “That means you’re only 11 Mana away from surpassing Peak level? Just two more contract holders, or a few more days, and you’ll break through!”

“Mm,” Mo Lan said. “It’s just that I’ve heard when you surpass Peak level, there’s a momentary surge of mana. I was worried that mages in the city might sense it, which is why I was in such a hurry to leave.”

“Wait—your Divination Magic, Psychic Magic, Blessing Magic, and Curse Magic all reached Advanced? When did that happen?” Vasida caught a glimpse of Mo Lan’s Sorceress Magic column and said in astonishment.

It hadn’t even been that long! She and Sylph had barely managed to train their Alchemy Magic to Advanced level, and yet Mo Lan had already reached Advanced in all four disciplines.

“I practiced them bit by bit!” Mo Lan said. “Playing the role of a mage doesn’t stop me from finding time to practice Witch Magic, does it? Divination Magic, Psychic Magic, Blessing Magic, and Curse Magic don’t require much space to cast, and they’re quite discreet—I could practice them right inside the tent.”

“What about Elemental Magic? Before, only one or two of your elemental spells were at Peak level, weren’t they? How are they all at Peak level now?” Sylph asked.

Mo Lan was taken aback. “What?”

She looked more carefully and discovered that in her exceptionally long Witch Magic column, the level notation after Elemental Magic had changed from Advanced to Peak.

Since leaving the Wilds, she had rarely used Elemental Magic. Practicing Advanced Elemental Magic inside the tent’s magic training room wasn’t very convenient. Casting Advanced elemental spells with Peak-level mana created quite a noticeable impact.

After disguising herself as a mage, she hadn’t even used the Cleaning spell.

She simply hadn’t noticed when her Elemental Magic levels had risen.

And it wasn’t just one or two—every single one had risen.

“You didn’t even know yourself?” All three—Lilith, Vasida, and Sylph—stared at her in astonishment.

How could someone not even notice that their own magic levels had risen?

“That’s strange. How did this happen?” Mo Lan was also somewhat puzzled.

She checked her cards, but there was nothing wrong with them.

After thinking for a moment, she opened the carriage window and surveyed the surrounding area.

Good—there were no people on the trade road ahead or behind, nor in the wheat fields around them.

Taking advantage of the absence of outsiders, she picked the elemental spell with the smallest impact—the wind-element Silencing spell—and gave it a try.

The moment she cast it, she noticed something was off. She was able to channel a full 800 Mana before feeling any strain.

In an instant, with her at the center, not a single sound could be heard within a thousand-meter radius.

She immediately dispelled the magic.

The spell had truly succeeded.

800 Mana—based on her current total mana capacity, that proportion had already reached 8%.

The hallmark of reaching Peak level in a magic discipline was when the maximum amount of mana one could channel during casting exceeded 8% of one’s total mana capacity.

How had this happened?

Mo Lan thought about it for a long time before arriving at one possibility.

“Could it be because over this past year, in order to disguise myself as a mage, I learned quite a few mage elemental spells?”

“Is that even possible? Mage Elemental Magic and our Witch Elemental Magic aren’t even the same system!” Lilith said.

But the more Mo Lan thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

“Although mage Elemental Magic and witch Elemental Magic differ in casting methods and the energy they use, the effects of both are manifested through elemental force.

Elemental force is the core of Elemental Magic.

While mage Elemental Magic is less convenient and flexible than ours, it’s precisely because of that difficulty that mages have researched and understood elemental force far more deeply than we witches have.

Every one of their spell structures contains hidden intricacies that can resonate with elemental force. The more advanced the spell structure, the greater its influence on elemental force. This gave me tremendous inspiration.

It’s very likely that these insights deepened my understanding of elemental force, and my Witch Elemental Magic levels all rose at once!”

Lilith, Vasida, and Sylph had also learned a few Apprentice-level mage spells. When they studied them, they had indeed read some foundational knowledge about elemental force in order to construct those spell structures. But their Witch Elemental Magic levels hadn’t increased as a result.

“Wait—exactly how many mage spells have you learned?”

“Every spell in the magic books that Grandma Dayla gave me. I learned them all,” Mo Lan said.
