Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 1014

Chapter 1004 Fierce First Round of Fund Competition! A Brief Spiritual Breath!

The wizard Appian walked out of the Silver Peach Garden headquarters building with a grim expression. Locke’s rapid mastery of four royal secret spells in front of him had displeased him. Although he was inclined to cooperate with Locke on the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow to develop his Golden Short-lived Blade Pod, he was also a man of pride.

In his eyes, Locke had used some incomprehensible means to insult the dignity of the Golden Dynasty.

Therefore, he stormed out of the Silver Peach Garden headquarters building.

He didn’t say much about continuing the cooperation; others only saw him push open the door and walk directly to his magic carriage. Locke followed behind him unhurriedly.

“Mr. Appian, please take care.”

“If you wish to cooperate with me in the future, feel free to come to the Silver Peach Garden headquarters to find me.”

Many employees of Silver Peach Garden looked at the fourth prince of the Golden Dynasty with curiosity. Just a moment ago, he had been arrogant and dignified during his visit to Silver Peach Garden, but now he was leaving in such a hurry, clearly quite angry, his face even turning ashen.

Many employees were already secretly speculating what had happened.

It was obvious the fourth prince had suffered a significant loss.

But what could have happened to make him so angry, leaving Silver Peach Garden in such a huff?

At this moment, some wizards who had witnessed the whole incident were secretly whispering among themselves, telling everyone that Locke had just learned four Golden Magic Secret Spell Models in a row. Everyone was astonished.

Was this their boss’s ability?

Even the witch Peach looked up at Locke with a complex expression. She saw a peak, a mountain she might never be able to climb in her lifetime, but one she could use as a goal, to gaze upon forever, and to try to ascend forever.

Wizard Terence walked to Locke’s side.

“Manager, I heard that the Fourth Prince came here to invest, and we just let him go… that fat sheep…”

Locke smiled and said, “Don’t worry. The cooperation will continue. He will agree.”

Wizard Terence paused for a moment, then looked at the angry Fourth Prince.

“I think there seems to be a problem. This proud prince doesn’t seem to be a wizard with a lot of tolerance. I’m afraid you’ve offended him this time.”

Locke said, “Is that so? Then you underestimate the sole heir of Silver City. Although I only spoke a few words to him, I can tell that he is a person who will not give up until he achieves his goal, and he values interests and is quite cautious. As long as there is profit, he will never indulge in small emotions.”

Terence nodded, seemingly understanding.

But the problem was, judging from the other wizard’s ostentatious display, he was clearly a boastful and attention-seeking person. Now that Locke had humiliated him like this, how could there be any future cooperation?

However, Terence didn’t say much at the moment. After all, the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow was so excellent; whether or not there was cooperation was merely icing on the cake, not a necessity.

Meanwhile, Appian walked to his magic carriage. His second-ring wizard steward approached and whispered, “Your Highness, you seem so angry. Did you suffer some loss? Did Silver Peach Garden dare to slight you? What happened?”

Appian snorted coldly and continued, “In the wizarding world, where dares to make things difficult for me?”

“Let’s go.”

Immediately, supported by a first-ring witch dressed in gold ornaments, he boarded his magic carriage, the magical warhorse neighing.

Then, Appian sat in the magic carriage, and the convoy immediately prepared to leave.

Locke spent all the money he had on him, giving five million magic stones to the wizard Terence, asking him to purchase a batch of supplies along the Tianjiang River.

Wizard Terence glanced at the supply list and found it consisted mostly of common items. “You want to set up a [Witchcraft Array]?”

Although Wizard Terence didn’t understand the witchcraft arrays commonly used by breeders, he could tell from the list that Locke wanted to set up a special, concealed witchcraft array. Locke said, “Yes, for use in the Yunze Wetlands. After this witchcraft array is set up, it can temporarily place magical power on my soul. Therefore, I can cross the Wizard’s Land and carry it to the Yunze Wetlands. Although the supplies and equipment at Golden Crown Mountain are more complete and advanced, the space is too small. The Wizard’s Land along the Tianjiang River, on the other hand, has a large enough area. For me, having enough space to set up this witchcraft array is the most important thing.”

Wizard Terence nodded and said, “Okay, supervisor, I’ll arrange it right away. I estimate it will take less than a day to complete this witchcraft array for you.”

Locke nodded.

Even after various modifications, Silver Peach Garden is still a large shop alliance with over five hundred wizards; having a large number of people is definitely an advantage. Unfortunately, most of the wizards are just apprentices on temporary assignment. They’re fine with working, but getting them to stand by you in times of danger is another matter.

After all, a shop alliance is different from a wizarding academy, and even more so from a lineage of scholars.

There are fundamental differences between the three!

Locke said to Wizard Terence, “Mr. Terence, you go ahead and do it.”

“I need to prepare my lessons.”

Suddenly, the ground shook. Locke looked into the distance; this direction seemed to be towards Joseph’s Reed House.

Wizard Terence immediately looked in that direction, his eyes filled with doubt, surprise, and some worry.

“This direction should be towards Joseph’s Reed House Academy. What happened? It feels like something suddenly exploded. Could this be an experimental accident?”

Locke glanced at him, then turned and entered the Silver Peach Garden headquarters. He had a lot of things to do; why bother with others? Besides, recently, a large number of genius wizards from other places had poured into the Tianjiang River region; some unusual changes were perfectly normal. Inside Joseph’s Reed House, a Star Ring Witch crawled out from the brick and tile ruins of the underground plant laboratory. She was covered in dust, and her wizard robes were tattered, clearly showing the extent of her disarray from the explosion.

She came from the Fission Plains and her name was Della.

Another Star Ring Witch emerged after her. She was also a witch from the Fission Rift, named Arlan. The two were wizarding geniuses from two top academies in the Fission Rift. They had been fiercely competing throughout the Fission Rift, using countless methods to gain access to the Tianjiang River coast. Unable to

determine a winner, they agreed to come together.

Because the Fission Rift wasn’t as competitive as the Three Swamps or the Southern Witch Capital, there were no crystal wafers or clone magic; they came in their original forms.

Witch Della coughed.

“Damn it! If you hadn’t inexplicably started fighting with me, how could the negative pressure radiation vessel have exploded!”

“It was clearly you who caused it!”

Witch Arlan also coughed, her throat parched. Clearly, the explosion of the advanced breeding equipment, the negative pressure radiation vessel, had severely injured them both. If not for the permanent defensive force field shell, they would have been dead the moment the explosion occurred.

After all, for safety reasons, the negative pressure radiation cauldron had been equipped with numerous defensive magic arrays over decades, precisely to prevent the Joseph Reed House Academy from being instantly blown to smithereens when it exploded. The

negative pressure radiation cauldron was a supporting facility for the second-circle stage of the magic resonance cultivation method; most wizarding academies lacked the capacity to even set up such equipment. The two had previously been constantly increasing the magical pressure of the radiation cauldron’s magical sun in an attempt to gain an edge, but they hadn’t anticipated that the Joseph Reed House’s negative pressure radiation cauldron, long neglected and poorly maintained, would suddenly…explode during a switch of magical resonance frequencies under their extreme manipulation.

The witch Della summoned a bronze cauldron; the Fission Plains was the largest production site of bronze magical artifacts in the wizarding world.

This bronze cauldron continuously spewed out special soul energy, rapidly repairing the souls of the witches Della and Arlan and replenishing their magical pressure. Bronze magical artifacts could easily combine with a wizard’s soul and be nurtured with that soul, thus possessing various extraordinary abilities.

“Is this alright? We’re even. Cough… Oh no, we’re badly injured.”

At this moment, Witch Arlan was also coughing incessantly. The explosion had contained all their magical pressure, and their powerful magic was becoming unstable.

Witch Arlan coughed and said, “I think we need to find someone to help. And what about the Drunken Elm in the lab? I wonder if it can still be saved? And the negative pressure radiation vessel—I wonder if it can be repaired. If it can’t, we’ll have to pay compensation. Luckily, there were no casualties.” Just then, under the blazing sun, in the blinding light, someone suddenly stood in front of them, his long shadow obscuring their vision.

This person, carrying a package, stood before them.

“Hey, you two rookies, don’t be so reckless next time.” “

The Drunken Elm and the negative pressure radiation vessel—I, the expert, will repair them.”

The two super geniuses from the Fission Plains, who had long roamed the land of ordinary wizards, immediately looked up at the man standing before them.

Seeing the man’s confident smile, the two women assumed he was mocking them.

Besides, they were all Star Ring Wizards; how could someone be so arrogant as to call them rookies to their faces?

Della the Witch roared, “Who are you? How dare you be so insolent in front of us?”

Arlan the Witch’s eyes also blazed with anger.

The wizard, however, wore a confident smile; his back to the sun made his figure seem to merge with the blinding sunlight.

“You’re asking me? Of course I’m the expert on tree people. My name is Edgar; David. You two don’t understand anything, you’re obviously novices.”

“No one understands tree people and magical plants better than me.”

“You just mentioned the Drunken Elm. If I’m not mistaken, you’re probably trying to create a special magical plant to stabilize the banks of the Heavenly Cold River, right? The Drunken Elm does have the ability to [seale water], but you’ve forgotten one thing—the Drunken Elm is a magical plant that takes root in the rock fissures of your Fission Plains’ hilly terrain, while the soil along the Heavenly River is moist and not suitable for its growth.” “

The corky roots of the Drunken Elm certainly make its roots incredibly hard, allowing it to survive in rock crevices, but they just don’t drain well in soft, damp soil, causing them to rot. What’s more, you two are being so radical with your magical pressure resonance cultivation method.”

Wizard Edgar laughed. He had changed his hairstyle to a buzz cut, and there was an unhealable scar on his face, a wound he sustained while colonizing the planes.

“I see your talents are limited. Perhaps you should give up on your dreams of obtaining the highest regional grant here. Why not become my assistants? That way, you’ll have a chance to get even a little bit involved with the highest regional grant,”

said Edgar. Della and Arlan were furious.

However, they were also alarmed, because he was also after the highest regional grant, the Two Rivers Coastal Grant.

Edgar’s bluntness in pointing out their flawed thinking put immense pressure on them.

Arlan and Della exchanged a glance, feeling a sense of urgency.

Damn it, Joseph Reed House—how many out-of-town wizards were given a single grant spot?

The competition was far too fierce.

At that moment, Edgar jumped directly into the underground laboratory.

Della was startled.

“Arrogant wizard, wait! There’s still uncontrolled magical energy down there…you…”

Edgar’s voice faded into the chaotic magical energy fluctuations from the underground laboratory.

“I can’t wait any longer. The Drunken Old Man’s Elm is a rare ancient tree-type magical plant with only a few thousand left. How could I bear it if it died in front of me? I have an opponent here who may have already qualified for the competition. I don’t want to fall behind even a step and let him laugh at me. I want to have a showdown with him here.”

Della and Arlan locked eyes.

Both felt the incredible power of the wizard and the immense pressure he exerted on them.

They realized how narrow-minded they had been. In the Fissioned Plains, they were trendsetters, the most brilliant and talented wizards, their every move the center of attention. But here, they were like clowns. They

realized that perhaps their greatest rivals had never been each other.

They… had truly been frogs in a well!

“Good heavens,” the witch Arlan whispered. “Even a school grant is something we might not be able to compete for. The chance to get here seems far more difficult than we imagined.”

The witch Della gritted her teeth. “He just took advantage of the situation, taking advantage of our lab accident so he can look down on us and mock us. With my magical abilities, do you think I’m afraid of him? I will definitely become the greatest breeder in the world!” “

We will definitely be the world’s top geniuses, I have absolute confidence in that. Arlan, do you?”

In the Rose Building, the wizard Chikun Moon’s avatar entered Rose’s office and said to her, “Rest assured, I have already granted you direct access to the school grant through the March Council. You have already won without a fight, at least in this round.”

“And the wizards I invited from Spiral Basin and Black Earth are not competing for the same spot as you.”

Rose didn’t seem to care. “It doesn’t matter.”

Meanwhile, the convoy of the fourth prince of the Golden Dynasty, Appian, was returning to the Sunlit Umbrella Court.

He sat in the magic carriage, inwardly troubled.

“Damn it, because the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow is too outstanding, and Locke’s tricks are too astonishing, I actually forgot that I went there to test whether he had any connection with necromancers. How did I suddenly get sidetracked and start comparing my golden magic with theirs?”

Wizard Appian rested his chin on his hand, pondering, “In that case, I still can’t be sure of Silver Peach Garden and Locke’s identities. But there are definitely no undead there, so there’s no point in me staying any longer. I just don’t know how that guy managed to do that.”

The magic carriage suddenly stopped.

Appian the Wizard looked out the window with displeasure and asked, “What’s going on? Why did we stop?”

The second-circle wizard steward replied, “Your Highness, there’s a small witch gathering ahead. A witch is selling some magical birds.” “

But it seems there’s been an argument.”

Appian the Wizard frowned. He stepped down from the magic carriage and unexpectedly saw a wizard arguing with a witch at her stall. This was none other than Baiber, the wizarding genius from the most powerful wizarding academy in the Mamluk Rift—the Summoning Hand! The witch was clearly annoyed with Baiber, who appeared to be a flat-topped boy with green hair.

He wore a white wizard’s robe, and a white hood covered his hair, which resembled green seaweed.

The Mamluk Rift was surrounded by desert, with only one river running through it. Around the river was a desert oasis, and this oasis was located in the valley, hence the name Mamluk Rift.

This was a green valley nestled amidst endless yellow sand,

shaped like a crescent moon.

The Summoning Hand was the largest wizarding academy in this wizarding land, ancient and historically significant. Though now in decline, it had made many unique contributions to wizarding civilization, being the first to tame feline magical creatures and developing the Insect Curse school. It was also one of the birthplaces of necromancy.

However, the most important contribution of the Mamluk Rift was undoubtedly its breakthroughs in the Summoning school.

The Insect Curse school branched off from the Summoning school.

The Mamluk Rift’s influence on magical history can still be seen in numerous Summoning spells; for example, at least a third of the Summoning spells are used to summon feline magical creatures,

as this is the oldest category of summoning magic.

At this moment, Appian was stunned upon seeing Baiber of the Mamluk Rift. This was the wizard from the Sunburst Umbrella Court who had competed with him for the academy’s funds, his greatest rival there. He hadn’t expected to encounter this wizard on his return journey. But what was he doing?

The wizard Baiber stood before the witch’s stall by the roadside, seemingly furious, his face flushed with anger.

“As a fellow wizard, I am utterly ashamed of you. Birds are our friends. You’ve bound these magical birds with magical chains, preventing them from flying freely in the sky. Aren’t you ashamed? Doesn’t your heart ache?”

The withered-faced witch waved her hand in disgust.

“Can you understand them? How do you know they’re in pain? If you’re not buying my magical sparrows, get out of my way. Go away, this is none of your business. You’re blocking my business, what business is it of yours?”

Wizard Baiber said righteously, “I am the wizard of the Summoning Hand, and moreover, a wizard of the Mamluk Great Rift Valley. Ten years ago, our Great Rift Valley launched an animal protection, animal welfare, and meat-rejection campaign called the [Animal Protection Association]. I am a director of the association, do you think I have the right to interfere?”

The old witch, with her withered face, bloodshot eyes, and gray wizard robes, was dumbfounded.

“What the hell?”

“Animal protection, huh? I…”

The old witch saw the huge Golden Dynasty convoy parked by the roadside, and her eyes brightened slightly, especially when she saw Wizard Apian walking towards them with several wizard guards. She knew this was a big customer.

“Get out of my way. I don’t care about your animal protection stuff; these birds can’t talk. No, we’re wizards, not philanthropists!” Wizard Baiber’s expression turned strange.

“You say they can’t talk? You seriously underestimate the wizards of the Mamluk Rift, and you seriously underestimate the Academy of Summoning Hands.”

Wizard Baiber chanted a spell, and the next moment, the chirping of the magical sparrows and parrots that had been standing in front of the stall suddenly stopped.

In other words, these magical birds were now talking.

“Help! We’re wild birds! I was caught by this old witch while pecking at magic rice. I don’t belong to her at all!” “Me too! Me too! I was flying just fine three days ago. We weren’t raised by this old witch!”

“Help! Good man!”

Wizard Baiber looked at the old witch with a smug expression, spreading his hands.

“Look, the birds are talking! They’re saying you’re not their master. These birds are free birds! They have bird rights too! They have feelings, they get hurt, they feel hurt when they’re deceived, they feel hunger and pain. How could you do this to them? Magical creatures are our brothers, our friends! We can neither enslave them nor eat them!”

Instantly, all the magical birds on the stall shouted that Wizard Baiber was a good man.

The old witch gritted her teeth. This was a spell model from the Summoning School, but only those with extremely advanced Summoning School spell models and incredibly powerful Summoning School magic could possibly grant so many magical birds the ability to speak human language.

This seemingly naive Star Ring Wizard before her was far from simple; he was likely a very skilled wizard.

The old witch gritted her teeth.

“If we don’t eat them, what will we eat?”

Wizard Baiber asked. “Vegetarians?”

The old witch was furious.

“Not long ago, the wizards of the Hand of the Jungle demanded I reduce my plant consumption, telling me that plants also feel pain and can feel sadness. Your animal protection association won’t let me eat meat, and the Hand of the Jungle won’t let me be vegetarian. So what am I supposed to eat? Stones, air, or you?” Wizard Baiber retorted, “Nonsense! Deceptive teachings!”

The next moment, he suddenly froze.

“Hmm? The Hand of the Jungle? Doesn’t the Hand of the Jungle have no branch along the Tianjiang River? Aren’t you a local wizard from the Tianjiang River?”

At this moment, the wizard Apian, who happened to walk up to the stall, was also stunned for a moment, and immediately realized the key to the problem. He looked at the emaciated old witch.

Wait…

He suddenly remembered the image of the black wizard who commanded the undead calamity of the Silver Peach Garden that he had seen in his precognitive dream. Parasitism

…

The next moment, a withered vine suddenly sprouted from the old witch’s chest. The vine had many branches, and it suddenly attacked the wizard Apian, the wizard Baiber, and the followers behind the wizard Apian.

“I can’t stand it anymore! You bunch of white wizards are really crazy.”

These undead vines attacked the group.

The old witch laughed loudly, “Appian, Locke; Augustine wants me to kill you!”

“I always felt there was something fishy going on between the Silver Garden’s manager and the dark wizard.” Appian’s pupils suddenly contracted, and the second-circle wizard guard behind him immediately prepared to attack. He unleashed a powerful spell, a water-based spell called Abyss Flow Slash; Falling Stars. Its essence was to invoke a water elemental plane, enhancing its planar flow and energy mobility.

After all, powerful spells, using certain special techniques, could utilize Worldstones containing water elemental lifeforms, although such planes were relatively rare.

Abyss Flow Slash; Falling Stars summoned countless deep blue water slashes, which fell from the sky like stars, possessing incredible magical pressure.

In that instant, the wizard Appian turned and shouted at him, “Don’t use ultimate magic!”

The next moment, the old witch’s body suddenly withered, and then a vine resembling a snake suddenly sprouted from her chest. The vine could even speak.

“Hahaha, Locke; Mr. Augustine said he was afraid that you two would become his opponents in applying for the Two Rivers Rivers Fund in the future, so he sent me to eliminate you two in advance.

” Wizard Byber was startled, and then said angrily, “Augustine? That Yunze Wetland man? He’s too cunning.” At this moment, the snake vine actually burrowed directly into the ultimate magic of the second-ring wizard guard: Abyss Slash; Starfall.

“Such powerful water magic. I’m lucky.”

The snake vine spirit said, and immediately controlled the wizard’s body, summoning countless water spells to attack the two. A water elemental world appeared above the wizard’s head, and countless water blades fell from the sky like meteors. The wizard himself seemed to be struggling, but the consciousness hidden within the Great Magic False Serpent Vine appeared to be of a higher level and had used necromancy, causing the wizard to doubt himself and making it difficult for him to control his body.

In an instant, the wizard Appian’s magical convoy was shattered into countless fragments by these water blades.

However, because the magical carriages had provided some protection, there were no casualties so far, and the wizards he had brought escaped from the magical carriages one by one, looking quite disheveled.

“Trying to escape? Don’t even think about it!”

“Death Forest Descends!”

Instantly, the trees and leaves on both sides of the road were occupied by countless plant spirits, which then began to transform into tree spirits. Tree after tree became tree demons, and sharp claws grew from their branches. Then, some branches on the treetops began to twist, forming eye-like parts, within which a deep red magical glow appeared, like an eye.

These tree demons rose directly from the ground, like tree people, swaying as they attacked the wizards.

Appian’s face immediately turned serious. He was extremely cautious, and faced with danger, his first thought wasn’t to fight, but to flee.

Appian said, “Byber, although the opponent appears to be just an ordinary second-circle Great Magician, this Great Magician; the False Serpent Corpse Vine possesses Great Magic; and the Yellow Spring Wheel is empowered, making his strength comparable to a Star Ring Wizard. Therefore, if either of us uses Great Magic, he will immediately possess it. He will definitely abandon my Great Magic and enter ours. So listen carefully, neither of us can use Great Magic, only ordinary magic.” “

Because of the opponent’s necromancy—Whispers of the Dead—even we could be controlled. Did you hear that?”

Appian turned his head and was immediately enraged. The Summoner, Byber, was actually using a magic key left by the necromancer on the stall, one by one, to unlock the shackles on the magical sparrows’ feet.

Appian was so shocked that his mind went blank.

Because it was too bizarre.

Wizard Baiber kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.

“Appian, come help me quickly. We must release these birds before that necromancer attacks. If he casts a spell, dozens of lives will be lost instantly!”

Wizard Appian looked at him silently.

On the other side, the necromancer was also stunned.

He controlled the body of a second-ring wizard of the Golden Dynasty and looked at Baiber with gritted teeth, saying, “Is this the level of a white wizard’s genius? It’s laughable.”

“A bunch of laughable clowns. You are a disgrace to us wizards.”

“Forget it, Appian, and that clown who wasn’t originally my target, you asked for death, Locke; Augustine told me to kill you, so die. You can’t escape. This place is covered by my Dead Forest Descent Barrier, and there are plant undead everywhere.” Wizard Appian immediately turned to look at the other party. It wasn’t that he couldn’t beat the other party, but the other party’s ultimate magic was special, and he dared not use ultimate magic in front of him.

Secondly…

he inherently disliked engaging in battle without a certainty of victory.

Just then, the sky and earth suddenly began to tremble. The barrier formed by the undead plants on the ground began to shake violently, then the barrier in the sky began to crack, and the next moment, the entire barrier exploded completely.

A broccoli stalk fell from the sky, seemingly about to crush the earth.

The necromancer looked up, “Hmm? How could this be? It actually happened…”

As the broccoli stalk crashed down, the entire barrier collapsed under its weight, and the Dead Forest descended; the spell model was crushed, and at the same time, a stream of life energy spewed out from within the pagoda-shaped broccoli. Life magic swept across the earth like a spring breeze, blessing the trees and leaves. Those that had been transformed into evil creatures were instead transformed into tree-people by reverse wisdom.

At this moment, one tree-person after another regained their beautiful forms, becoming close to nature once more.

The necromancer gritted his teeth, uttering each word slowly and deliberately, “Wisdom Inspiration, damned botanical magic.”

The wizard Appian was also stunned for a moment.

“This is the first time I’ve witnessed such powerful enlightenment.”

“To be able to enlighten tens of thousands of treants with a single spell, each one so powerful, and even directly reverse the opponent’s necromancy magic. Even among second-circle wizards, few botanical wizards can achieve this.”

Wizard Byber was still using the magic key to rescue the magical sparrows.

The necromancer said, “I am Locke Augustine’s man. I advise you not to meddle, otherwise, if that great wizard takes action, you will surely die.”

“This matter is none of your concern. This is that great wizard eliminating the competitors of the Foundation.”

At this moment, a loud explosion appeared in the sky, and the figure of a firebird slowly descended from the sky. Immediately afterwards, dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed and thunder roared, as if a thunder god had descended, or a god-king had come to earth, and the entire sky had become another world.

More than two hundred large green-leaved dragon sparrows were flying in the sky.

Locke manipulated the two large chirping dragon sparrows on his back, transforming them into four wings like vermilion birds, and slowly descended from the sky.

All the wizards present looked up at him.

Wizard Apian’s pupils suddenly contracted, unsure whether the other was friend or foe.

Locke looked at the necromancer and smiled, “Is that so? Well, you’ve really gone to a lot of trouble. I didn’t know that in some unknown place, there was a wizard I didn’t know, working tirelessly for my cause. I really have to thank you.” Locke stood with his hands behind his back, looking at him.

“But you seem to have misunderstood something. These two wizards are not even my competitors in the regional fund competition.” “I have no reason to hire you to eliminate them.”

The necromancer was startled. He had only made up a story, wanting to use Locke’s name—the one who had caused him to lose Heidi’s body—to provoke enemies everywhere. If he could successfully possess the body of a wizarding genius and gain the qualification to enter the Starfield Sea genius competition, that would be a great find. If not…

he would still cause some trouble for Locke and let these white wizards fight among themselves.

He just hadn’t expected that constantly mentioning Locke’s name would actually attract the attention of the very person in question.

The necromancer suddenly realized something.

“Damn that white wizard, this guy’s combat experience is too rich. He’s using that broccoli plant on my head. If I want to use a powerful spell, the fake snake vine will break free from this wizard’s powerful spell and escape, but as soon as I enter the air, I’ll be sucked in by that plant and won’t be able to escape at all.”

“Damn it, according to my plan, I should have been able to successfully ambush Appian. If I succeeded, I could have taken over his body and secured a spot in the competition. But I got entangled with that idiot from the animal protection association and lost my best opportunity to ambush him.” “If I hadn’t been so angry with him that I argued with him, how could I have revealed that I had met with the Hand of the Jungle and made them realize that I had a problem? Damn wizard.”

The necromancer was a little scared because Locke had beaten him up once before.

His powerful spell required him to take over the opponent’s powerful spell the instant they used it, but Locke already knew that. This point. Of course, for some reason, the wizard Apian of the Golden Dynasty also knew this.

But even if Apian knew this, under his sudden attack, the other party should have instinctively used a powerful spell, allowing him to take over Apian’s body.

To put it simply, it was that damned, obsessed wizard from the animal protection association who ruined his only chance to ambush.

Next time, finding such an opportunity would be difficult.

The necromancer asked Locke, “It’s about half a day’s distance from here to the headquarters of Silver Peach Garden. How did you see Apian’s convoy being attacked by me?”

The wizard Apian suddenly realized.

“So you have no relation to Mr. Augustine.”

The wizard Apian had been skeptical of the necromancer’s explanation, believing there were many suspicious points, but after previous contact and probing, he still felt that there was some connection between Augustine, the head of Silver Peach Garden, and the black wizard.

Locke then pointed to a large, green-leaved dragon bird beside him.

“Ordinary prophetic magic devices are usually fixed in one place, and even those that are movable don’t move very fast. But this Great Blue Leaf Dragonfly can be enchanted with prophetic magic and, through the Multi-Eyed Pineapple, connects all information to create a dynamic prophetic network. It was originally just an experimental application, so I happened to release about a hundred reconnaissance-type Great Blue Leaf Dragonflies into the sky, and that’s how I detected you. I ambushed Master Appian’s convoy on their usual route, preparing to attack him as he was returning.”

Master Appian looked at the Great Blue Leaf Dragonfly next to Locke, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

“Good idea.”

“I see. So flying magical plants can be used like this. This way, the flight radius of flying magical plants can be increased by the detection radius of prophetic magic. This combination of magical usage… although it seems simple, it adds a detection radius to prophetic magic out of thin air. It’s amazing that he could come up with this. No, even if an ordinary person could come up with it, they wouldn’t have the ability to implement it.”

The wizard Apian was becoming increasingly eager to cooperate with Locke on the matter of the Great Blue Leaf Dragon Sparrow, and began to regret that he shouldn’t have stormed off in a fit of anger.

After all, the Great Blue Leaf Dragon Sparrow could very well utilize his Golden Short-lived Bean Pod ability.

The necromancer gritted his teeth.

“So that’s how it is. Damn it, last time you destroyed the body I finally managed to get, and now you’re coming again. At least this time I still have this ultimate spell; Abyss Flow Slashes the Falling Stars.”

At this moment, he was about to mobilize the azure elemental world above his head to attack Locke when, in the next moment, Locke suddenly used the flight speed of the Great Spring Breeze Dragon Sparrow spell to appear in front of him, and then suddenly reached out and grabbed his face.

The necromancer screamed.

“No!”

Locke grabbed his face, plummeted down, and brought him to the ground. He then rubbed his head against the earth, carving a furrow in the ground. Locke said, “I told you long ago, I am a member of the Ethics and Morality Review Committee of Golden Crown Mountain. You killed one of my Golden Crown Mountain’s wizards right before my eyes. You were doomed. You couldn’t escape my grasp. Even if you’re undead, you’ll die.”

The necromancer felt an irresistible, immense power emanating from Locke’s palm.

“Damn it…

I have to find a way out quickly, or he really will kill me!”

“He’s serious about sending the undead to their deaths. This wizard… he even kills the undead!”

“But I can’t escape this ordinary second-circle wizard’s ultimate magic. If I leave, I’ll be locked onto by the magical plant Augustine placed in the air and sucked into it. Augustine’s combat experience is too perfect. I can’t use the Wheel of the Underworld to leave now. There’s no other way but to force reincarnation.”

Locke was grinding him to the ground, pressing a deep trench into the earth with his powerful flight. The next moment, at his closest point to Appian, he suddenly chanted a spell.

“Ultimate Magic; Reincarnation!”

Another serpent vine undead emerged from his body. Before it even left the old second-circle wizard’s body, its vine head was already heading towards Appian’s direction.

Appian lowered his head and said, “I think you’ve misunderstood something.”

“The reason I didn’t fight back wasn’t because I was afraid of you. It’s because I never act without absolute certainty of victory. Even in dreams, you are no match for… me.”

Ten golden short-lived sword pods appeared behind the wizard Appian.

These pods were called short-lived because they were originally just an ordinary second-ring magical plant, the golden sword bean.

The short-lived aura was something he had acquired through continuous grafting, bringing this crucial plant essence into the magical plant.

And the short-lived aura… was extremely terrifying.

The wizard Appian said, “Sir, haven’t you ever witnessed the true fighting style of us Star Ring Botanical Wizards?”

The ten golden short-lived sword pods contained a terrifying, crimson short-lived aura.

The next moment, the ten sword beans, at an incredible speed, an absolute speed that could not be kept up with, accelerated by the short-lived aura, formed a sword array, and in a very short time, with the hardness of the golden magical plant, launched over ten million attacks on the necromancer’s powerful magic. In an instant.

The vines shattered into countless fragments.

Both the wizard Baiber and Locke looked at each other.

With a wave of his hand, the fragments vanished,

leaving only the sparse life force emanating from him.

Not only was his magical plant attack incredibly fast, but his own spellcasting speed was also remarkable. Locke noticed that the sparse life force seemed to be mixed into the wizard’s life force.

That kind of energy seemed capable of accelerating a living being, though he wondered what the cost would be.
