Just then, the butler Edward walked in from outside the door. Seeing their flustered expressions, a smile flashed in his eyes.

"Mayor Lucke, Mayor Greame, are you looking for books?" Edward asked.

Upon seeing Edward, the two immediately felt like they had found their anchor and rushed over to him.

"Butler Edward, it's so good to see you! Lord Sylas allowed us to come and search for magic books to study, but we didn't expect there to be so many books here. We have no idea how to find what we need, so we'll have to trouble you to give us some guidance."

Edward shook his head when he heard this: "Guidance is too strong a word. I just started learning magic a bit earlier than you. When I first came here to look for books, I was just as clueless as you are now. I only slowly figured things out later."

He then led the two to the desk.

"This is your first time encountering magic. You won't be able to master the high level magic spells for now, and the more high level magic spells, the more dangerous it is. One careless mistake could lead to irreversible magic accidents. So, I recommend you start by learning the most basic magic."

"Among them, you can read books like Standard Book of Spells, Grade 1, Magical Theory, The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection, and A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration."

"If you are interested in Potion-making, you can also read Magical Drafts and Potions and One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi. However, do not attempt to brew them yourselves without guidance, as it is very dangerous."

The two nodded, without any doubt. "We have no experience at all. We will listen to everything you say, Butler Edward."

Seeing that the two were willing to listen, Edward's attitude softened. After all, if they were unwilling to listen and immediately wanted to learn powerful magic, such people would not be worthy of learning magic and would betray the Lord's grace.

After more than a month of learning and exposure to magic knowledge, Edward truly realized how profound magic was and how shallow he himself was. He also developed a sense of awe and caution towards magic.

At the same time, he also became even more reverent towards the Lord's magical prowess.

Because they were able to transform from mere mortals into Wizards with magic, Edward, after encountering magic, knew how difficult such an ability was.

Moreover, all the magic knowledge they were learning also came from the Lord.

Even the quill that was continuously writing on the counter was the Lord injecting his knowledge and memories into the quill, thereby constantly creating new magic books and increasing the number of books in the Library.

Reining in his wandering thoughts, Edward respectfully addressed the writing quill: "Lord Quill, we need to borrow Standard Book of Spells, Grade 1, Magical Theory, The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection, and A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration. Thank you!"

The writing quill paused, then floated to a piece of parchment on a nearby table, quickly writing down the names of these books, and then flew back to the blank book, continuing to write from where it left off.

The next second, the distant bookshelf seemed to respond. Several magic books left the shelf, flapping their pages like birds, and flew to the table, closing themselves and stacking up automatically.

Mayor Luke and Greame watched this scene with surprise.

Edward did not go to the stack of books. Instead, he pulled out his wand, cleared his throat, and, under their astonished gaze, tapped the books with his wand, loudly incanting: "Geminio!"

A white light entered the magic books, and the books instantly duplicated themselves.

The two mayors, who were also magic novices, gasped in astonishment, their eyes wide with shock as they watched this scene, looking at Edward with a hint of adoration.

Edward was quite pleased with such gazes. It was worth his hard work practicing this spell; now he could finally show off in front of others.

He unconsciously puffed out his chest and cast the duplication spell again, creating another copy of the magic books.

Then, he used the Levitation Charm to float the two duplicated magic books in front of them, deliberately suppressing the upward curve of his lips, and said:

"The books here are all very precious, and many are unique, one-of-a-kind items that cannot be easily taken out of the Library. So, you had best learn the duplication spell so you can copy the books and take them back to study."

"Of course, duplicated books cannot exist indefinitely. With my current ability, they can only last for a month at most. So, you had best master the knowledge within the magic's validity period, otherwise next time you will need to duplicate them yourselves."

The two mayors each hugged the several magic books in front of them and nodded obediently.

Their gazes were fervent as they looked at the magic books, especially after seeing Butler Edward demonstrate magic. They couldn't wait to immediately open the books and learn magic on the spot.

However, they also knew that they couldn't rush. Furthermore, they were mayors of two cities and needed to manage government affairs, so they couldn't devote all their energy and time to learning magic.

After all, the Lord had transformed them into Wizards, granting them such great honor and grace, as a reward for their management and development of the cities.

If they abandoned their cities and only focused on learning magic, they would be betraying the Lord's original intention.

So, they took their magic books and wands, said goodbye, and excitedly returned to their respective cities through the fireplace.

As for Butler Edward, he waved his wand to erase the book names from the parchment on the desk, making it blank again.

The several magic books that had been quietly stacked on the desk reopened, flapping their pages, and flew back to their original positions on the bookshelf.

Seeing this, Edward turned and left the Library, closing the main door... As for Sylas, after his two subordinate mayors, Luke and Greame, transformed and gained magic abilities, Sylas was not content with just these few.

He wanted to create a Wizard race of his own in Middle-earth.

Just like the Wizarding World in Britain, a magic civilization with its own society and culture.

And to create such a Wizard society, the number of Wizards could not be small.

Coincidentally, the population of the two cities under his command, according to the latest statistics, had reached over thirty thousand.

Adding the Wild Men of Isengard, that would be over forty thousand people.

Such a number, if all of them became Wizards, would be enough to recreate a Wizarding World!

However, Sylas merely thought about it.

To transform an ordinary person into a Wizard, in addition to various rare Potion ingredients, a barrel of dragon blood was also required.

In the last Battle of Isengard, the number of Dragons killed or injured by Mordor and Sylas was over fifty, and the collected dragon blood amounted to several hundred barrels. Even with the Frost Dragon's blood added, there were only nearly a thousand barrels.

Excluding the quantity of other Potion ingredients, just the required dragon blood would only be enough to transform nearly a thousand people.

If he wanted to collect more dragon blood, he could only draw blood from the Dragons living in the Dragon farm.

But if he didn't want to exhaust the resource, he couldn't draw much dragon blood at once, at most enough for fifty people to transform.

More importantly, if he had to brew Potions one by one for so many people, he simply wouldn't be able to handle it.

Thinking this, Sylas began to consider how to allow a large number of people to complete the transformation simultaneously.

He suddenly thought of the "Dragon Transformation Pool" from cultivation novels.

Although it was fantasy, perhaps he could use it as a reference and create a magical version of a "Dragon Transformation Pool," allowing ordinary people to enter it and emerge as Wizards.

This would avoid him having to complete each transformation one by one, which was time-consuming and laborious.

Thinking this, Sylas felt a stir of excitement.
