Chapter 286: Plans

"With the cancellation of the Kamar Taj protective shield, there will be a gap in our defenses during the transition. We need to be prepared to resist during this period."

"As for the replacement of the magic array, I found that the magic tower can handle this task, but we need several archmages to come and preside over the magic tower, ensuring that the magic array will not dissipate due to unexpected problems."

Listening to Charles's words, Balthazar pondered for a moment before saying, "We can have the Magic Department send people over to form a magic team, which can serve as the force to resist the invasion from hell."

"As for activating the magic tower's array, I need to bring in a few old fellows. I believe that with their strength, there shouldn't be any problems."

After confirming the arrangements, Charles glanced at everyone and then said, "Teacher Balthazar, there are some matters that may need to be discussed privately."

Seeing that Charles wanted to have a private conversation with Balthazar, everyone remained silent. After the two left, the others began discussing the upcoming challenges.

Taking Balthazar to an upstairs room, Charles got straight to the point, "Teacher Balthazar, from what I've gathered, there are very few magical artifacts in the magical world now."

"Apart from wand making and broomsticks, the remaining magical equipment is scarce."

Charles, having read Harry Potter and engaged in conversations with other wizards, realized that there were limited magical artifacts available.

Items like the Sorting Hat, the Erised Mirror, and the Invisibility Cloak were either historically significant magical artifacts in the academy or held by others. This contrasted with his expectations.

It's not that the magical world lacked magical artifacts, but those that could be converted into absorbable energy were few.

These items could be used temporarily, given Merlin's status, he could still call upon them.

However, if used for absorption and not returned, others might be unwilling to lend them after one or two times.

Upon hearing his student inquire about magical artifacts again, Balthazar spoke, "The Magic Department still has some magical artifacts, but they may not be of much use to you."

"Due to the magical fault line, alchemy from ancient times has not been passed down. Otherwise, they wouldn't have waged wars over a magical stone and a failed attempt at immortality."

Balthazar was well aware that Merlin's legacy magic involved immortality. He, along with Veronica and Maxim, had lived for centuries without aging, thanks to Merlin's magic.

"Teacher, could you provide me with the magical prison where the Morgana's members are confined? I need some magical artifacts to enhance my strength and better resist the invasion from Hell in the upcoming battles."

Upon hearing Charles's suggestion regarding the imprisoned Morgana members, Balthazar contemplated for a moment before saying, "To save David back then, I transferred all the members of Mogana to another prison."

"And to prevent anyone from mindlessly releasing the evil wizards remaining with Morgana, I made some changes to this prison."

Balthazar then cast a spell with both hands. A box appeared out of thin air and then fell into Balthazar's hands.

"Originally, including Morgana and Maxim, there were a total of 81 evil wizards imprisoned in the vault."

"Now, there are only 77, and because of the new magic I bestowed, even if someone wants to release them, only one layer of the prison can be undone per week."

"If forcefully dismantled, the wizards inside will be swept into spatial turbulence and permanently banished."

"Since you need magical artifacts to enhance your strength, I'll entrust this vault to you."

Seeing the vault in Balthazar's hands, Charles happily received it. "Thank you, Teacher!"

Charles was delighted by the number of wizards inside. With 77 wizards, there were at least 77 magical artifacts. Over the centuries, Balthazar, apart from searching for Merlin, had either killed evil wizards on the spot or imprisoned the powerful ones in the vault.

This meant that each of these 77 magical artifacts was worth at least 1,000 gold coins, conservatively estimating the total value at 80,000 gold coins.

Charles couldn't help but feel joyous. Although only one layer of the vault could be opened per week, the quantity was substantial.

Seeing Charles's smiling face, Balthazar couldn't help but remind, "Although I don't know how you plan to enhance your strength with these magical artifacts, remember that for a wizard, unlocking one's own potential is fundamental."

"External enhancements are only supplementary. I hope you won't get things the wrong way around."

Listening to Teacher Balthazar's sincere words, Charles nodded. "Rest assured, I won't wear these magical artifacts openly. I have other ways to utilize them. It's my secret."

Balthazar nodded and didn't inquire about Charles's secret. Instead, he said, "Since I've handed these items over to you, it's up to you to deal with them."

"But regarding your future plans, after sending your subordinates back later, do you plan to form a magic team with me, or do you have other arrangements?"

At this moment, Charles quickly formed hand seals and created a wooden clone with the "Wood Release: Wood Clone" technique. A wooden clone, carrying a chakra amount similar to Charles's, appeared.

"This is one of my clones, possessing half of my original strength. It can stay here for an extended period."

"He will stay here with you to handle magical world affairs. After running out of chakra, he will dissipate. I will also receive all the memories he experiences here, and then I'll send another clone when needed."

Listening to Charles's words, Balthazar nodded in satisfaction. "Your method is indeed good and has improved efficiency."

"Now that you've learned the teleportation array to and from the magical world, when you leave later, take your subordinates with you."

"If there's anything important, I will notify your clone or contact you directly. You can come over to deal with it then."

After concluding the conversation with Balthazar, Charles left the wooden clone behind to manage magical world affairs along with Balthazar. The original, along with his subordinates, returned to Charles Agency.

As for David, he planned to explore the magical world with his girlfriend. He was curious about everything here. Regarding the teleportation array to and from the magical world, Balthazar entrusted it to David.
