Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 1027

Chapter 1016 They don’t pursue the truth?

The Sea Queen said to the old wizard Moss, “Moss, find a place for your grandson to stay for a week. Come back in a week. I need to design a formula for your grandson. Although it’s not difficult, it will take some time, and I have other things to do right now.”

The old wizard Moss replied, “A week? But I still want my grandson to attend the March Council! I heard that the March Council will re-establish the rules for this Tianjiang River region, and my grandson might have a chance then.

Perhaps he can get another round—”

“Lady Helen, could you

please make an exception and expedite it—” the Sea Queen said, “The fainting caused by the Spiral Shadow Potion is difficult to cure quickly. Secondly, old Moss, give up.” The Sea Queen

said, “If you can’t even make it through the first round, it’s best not to continue.”

The Sea Queen lit a pipe, took a puff, and then said, “Continuing to force your way in will kill you.”

“The Tianjiang River isn’t your Ancient Vine Township’s wizarding territory. The wizards in your Ancient Vine Township are too naive. But as far as I know, not all wizards in the Eastern Boundary follow the rules.”

“Give up.” “

I meant well.”

Old Wizard Moss thought for a moment, then sighed. He seemed to have aged many years in an instant. He hunched over and, instead of speaking to the Sea Queen, actually spoke to Locke.

“My grandson and I poured all our energy and resources into securing a spot in the Tianjiang River competition. If we return empty-handed, alas, our losses will be immense. We’ll face countless debts upon our return.” “

But this may be the fate of most wizards who participate in the Tianjiang River competition,”

said the old wizard Moss. “Young man, I hope you’ll be careful and not fall victim to someone else’s underhanded tactics like we did.” The

old wizard Moss chanted a spell, then scattered some beans in the soil. He chanted another spell, and the soybeans immediately took root and sprouted, then began to branch, flower, and eventually form pods. Four magical soybean plants were completed, each 1.8 meters tall, with trifoliate leaves arranged alternately, resembling a Yellow Turban Warrior standing in place, its roots serving as feet and its branches as hands.

The four soybean magical plants looked majestic and imposing.

All four were ordinary second-ring magical plants. At this moment, under the command of the old wizard Moss, they lifted his grandson’s wooden stretcher and began to walk outside.

Locke’s eyes lit up at this sight.

Locke asked the old wizard Moss, “Mr. Moss, are these the soybean warriors unique to Ancient Vine Village?”

The old wizard Moss looked at Locke with surprise, then waved his hand, and instantly, a kind of whisker-like imaginary root floated above the soybean warriors.

“That’s right, these are the Ancient Vine Village’s secret soybean warriors. I use a spell model, through these ordinary imaginary roots, to manipulate these magical plants, making these soybean warriors move, act according to my will.” “However,

these soybean warriors are a special breed cultivated by humans, so not all magical plants can be controlled and moved by imaginary roots in this way. This is our Ancient Vine Village’s ‘Scattering Beans to Create Soldiers’ magic.”

Locke asked, “Old Wizard Moss, I’ve heard of this ‘Scattering Beans to Create Soldiers’ magic before, and I’m very interested in it. I’d like to exchange magic stones or items for this magic with you, is that possible?” Old Wizard Moss looked

at Locke in surprise.

“There’s a reason why the ‘Scattering Beans to Create Soldiers’ magic is unique to Ancient Vine Village. Because it’s not practical.”

“To make the magical plants move, you need to use imaginary roots to manipulate and provide them with the power to move.”

He chanted a spell, and the imaginary roots hidden in his left sleeve immediately appeared.

“Look, these warriors can’t stray more than a kilometer from me. So, they’re more than enough to deal with low-level wizards, but useless in other situations. This is a semi-obsolete spell model and its accompanying magical plants. Only old folks like me still study and research it. Calling it a secret art is just a euphemism; nobody studies it anymore, nobody wants to learn it.”

“Young man, what do you need this for?”

Old Wizard Moss looked at the Sea Queen.

The Sea Queen said, “Don’t look at me. This isn’t my student; it’s just a student in one of my courses.”

Old Wizard Moss thought for a moment and said to Locke, “Alright, if you’re really interested, give me five million magic stones.

I’ll give you the spell model for turning beans into soldiers and thirty seeds of soybean warriors. What do you say?”

Locke frowned slightly. If he accepted the deal, he wouldn’t have enough money; he could barely afford a sum of Star Ring resources from Golden Peach Garden.

However, he was indeed interested in the Bean Warriors and the Bean Scattering Soldier.

In his view, the biggest problem with Bean Scattering Soldier was its inability to stray too far from a wizard. But if it could be enchanted onto the Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow and controlled using the Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow’s imaginary roots, wouldn’t that solve the problem?

Once this problem was solved, the biggest reason for eliminating Bean Scattering Soldier would also disappear.

Then this spell model could be given new life.

This was also an idea he had when developing the Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow: finding spell models and magical plants that had been eliminated due to a lack of mobility, and then attaching them to the Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow. This way, he could assemble a standard set of Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow components in the shortest possible time.

Locke said, “Deal.”

Although the old wizard Moss was puzzled as to why Locke would spend such a large sum of money to buy what he considered outdated magic, he couldn’t refuse Locke’s offer.

After all, the property prices in Yunze Wetlands far exceeded those in Ancient Vine Township.

With the money Locke provided, he could stay in the best location in Xiaoyanshan near the Root Crown Royal Court for at least a week.

The old wizard Moss and Locke signed the contract on the spot and completed the transaction.

After the old wizard Moss ordered the four soybean warriors to carry his grandson on a stretcher away, the Sea Queen spoke to Locke, “Locke, I think you’re quite clever. You even know how to abuse your power.”

Locke was taken aback, thinking the Sea Queen was angry, implying that he had used her connections without giving her any compensation.

Locke said, “Your Majesty, I can pay you the corresponding amount of magic stones as a fee for using your platform for transactions.”

The Sea Queen patted Locke on the shoulder and said, “No, I mean this is perfect. I need a clever assistant. Remember what I told Wizard John? The course schedule will be based on the first-place finisher. In other words, my course schedule has always been based on your learning needs. I’ve given little consideration to second-circle wizards from the Rootcrown Court, or the Alba witch. But it’s different now. Anthony is powerful and has a strong background. You’ve only managed to get first place in these two courses by luck. In other words, Locke, if you don’t hurry, Anthony might get first place next time.” “

Then I’ll tailor the course according to his needs.”

“Or perhaps the rapidly improving Alba witch could take first place. But changing the course objective at the last minute would be too much trouble for me. I originally intended to use you to deflect the students John the Wizard shoved into my lap.”

The Sea Queen puffed on her pipe and said, “I reckon there will be quite a few people seeking my treatment along the Tianjiang River in the future.”

“After all, there are very few wizards skilled in potions in your Yunze Wetlands.”

“There will be plenty of trouble in the future. If you want to improve quickly, I can give you private lessons. You can come here and treat them for me. I’ll provide the specific plans; execution and adapting to the situation are your responsibility. What do you think?”

Locke’s eyes flickered. He should have refused,

but it was indeed a way to quickly improve his potions skills. Otherwise, if things continued this way, he might not be able to maintain his advantage in the sixth and seventh lessons.

But Locke still asked the Sea Queen, “Lady Helen, is there any payment? Any employment should be compensated.”

The Sea Queen’s expression was strange.

“Do you like the Star Ring Resource Potion? I’ll use that as payment. Besides, if you heal that Star Ring Wizard for me next week, I’ll give you a True Phoenix Egg Fragment.”

Locke smiled immediately. “Then, Your Majesty, it’ll be a pleasure doing business with you.”

The Sea Queen, smoking her pipe, stared at Locke, her expression momentarily dazed.

Locke asked, “Lady Helen, what’s wrong?”

The Sea Queen replied, “No, nothing. That’s enough, you can go back now.”

After leaving the Rootcrown Court, Locke went to the Golden Peach Garden and found the Treant Wizard in charge of receiving Star Ring Wizards. The Treant Wizard took out a bill and then said to Locke, “I see your name. This month, Mr. Osgudin has indeed been queuing up for the Molten Heart’s Breath.”

The Treant Wizard took a key from the leaves on his head, then inserted the key into the drawer of the counter in front of him and used the key to open the drawer’s magical lock.

“Click.”

The drawer opened.

Locke instinctively looked over, only to see the Treant Wizard take out another magic key.

Locke was stunned; was the security really that tight?

The Treant Wizard picked up the magic key and inserted it into his abdomen.

Then, he gently rotated it, and with a “click,” his abdomen opened, revealing a magic cabinet.

Locke was speechless.

From the magic cabinet in his abdomen, the Treant took out a high-grade Time Crystal bottle, filled with some kind of magma-like spiritual energy.

Locke immediately looked at that spiritual energy; it was a special life force that, according to legend, could only be accidentally born deep within the molten lava of a plane.

If any mortal consumed this spiritual energy, it would be instantly ignited; the flames could not be extinguished by water or weakened by rain. But if the Star Ring Wizard consumed it, the powerful life force would instantly nourish the Star Ring Wizard’s life energy, then transform into magical pressure.

The Treant Wizard said, “This is the Soul of Molten Spirit. Once the contract is signed, it’s yours. Wait, check it. Let me make this clear: once you take it, I won’t give it back. No refunds.”

Locke glanced at him. “I understand.”

Locke signed the contract directly, then took out a thousand magic crystal cards, completed the transaction, and received the Soul of Molten Spirit.

Locke looked at this spirit and couldn’t help but marvel at the high price of a few special spirits. However, upon reflection, his own Azure Dragon Spirit, if he were to sell it, would be priceless.

After all, it involved the legendary Jianmu magical plant.

However, he estimated that not many people would buy it, because the greatest use of the Azure Dragon Spirit was to allow a few special magical plants to take root and sprout, but it couldn’t increase a wizard’s magical pressure.

Therefore, it held immense appeal for a small group of wizards.

Locke asked, “Mr. Treant, will I still be able to queue for Molten Soul Essence next month?”

The Treant Wizard shook his head and said, “Not necessarily. There are many wizards in line. You were the first to queue, which is why you were chosen.”

“Our Molten Soul Essence sells so well that it’s in high demand and short supply. We don’t need another customer like you.”

“So, you might get a turn next month, or you might not. It depends on your luck.”

Locke frowned. “Treeman, you said before that as long as I complete the allocation of 30 million magic stones, I can wait in line.”

The Treeman Wizard pointed to the Time Crystal Bottle in Locke’s hand and said, “You did wait in line. But the problem is, I made that promise to every wizard who completed the allocation. Golden Peach Garden isn’t just for the entire Wizarding Lands, but also for wizards from several nearby Wizarding Lands. You’re not the only wizard waiting in line. If I counted on my fingers, I’d find I couldn’t even use all my branches.” “

I can’t just look after you, can I?”

Locke was almost speechless. What kind of heaven-defying shop was this? The key was that it was his teacher’s shop alliance, and the council his teacher had invited to hire employees.

Locke probably guessed what the Treeman was thinking.

“So, you mean I have to continue allocating goods, and only next month can I be sure I can wait in line?”

The Treeman’s eyes gleamed.

“That’s what I mean. I think you can add another 30 million magic stones. Mr. Augustine, you’re a smart man, you—”

Locke suddenly said, “I remember you’re an apple tree person, right? Apple trees are also rose-type magic plants.”

The tree person paused for a moment, then said, “Uh, yes. What’s wrong?”

Locke said, “Nothing, I just recently met a wizard, and I learned that the asphyxiating juglone secreted by walnut-type magic plants prevents rose-type magic plants from reproducing. If a walnut-type magic plant is planted within a kilometer radius of a rose-type magic plant, that rose-type magic plant will not be able to flower or bear fruit. That’s why walnut trees are also called trees of conflict. And many rose-type magic plants are fruit trees, with high economic value.”

The tree person wizard took a half step back.

The tree person wizard said, “Wait, thinking about it carefully, 30 million is indeed too much.”

The tree person wizard glanced at Locke, thinking of the recent rumors, and the witch Catherine’s obvious reliance on Locke.

The Tree Wizard said, “Priority allocation is just a rule; it’s the sales pitch our shop taught us.”

Locke was almost speechless. Where did his teacher find such a manager?

The Tree Wizard said, “I’ll let it slide this time. I can make sure you can still get in line next month.”

He took out a list of information.

“Look, many wizards are allocated supplies every month. I just went a little overboard, but you have to buy at least five million magic stones from our shop every month to get priority access to the Soul Fusion next month. I’m not lying; it’s the rule of Golden Peach Garden. But you’re a special case; you can be allocated one million magic stones every month. I wonder if that’s acceptable?”

The Tree Wizard seemed genuinely worried that Locke had planted a walnut-type magic plant near the Golden Peach Garden in Dragonblood Market.

Walnut-type magic plants are a death sentence for rose-type magic plants.

They’re too effective.

And if Locke actually did that, the Tree Wizard suspected he would be fired by Golden Peach Garden.

After all, if he wasn’t in good condition, he couldn’t work, and if he couldn’t work, he’d be fired immediately.

Locke glanced at the document and was immediately furious.

This treant was treating him like a fool; others only needed five million units of goods per month, but this guy had just been asking for a whopping thirty million to boost his own sales.

Locke checked the client information he’d been shown and confirmed it was indeed Golden Peach Garden’s bill before giving up.

Locke said, “That’s fine.”

There was no way around it; monthly allocations seemed to be Golden Peach Garden’s rule.

It just goes to show how sought-after Star Ring resources were. Star Ring wizards accepted them without hesitation, since a Star Ring wizard’s progress was stagnant, and daily meditation was merely a struggle to maintain their level.

Many Star Ring spell models even caused a decrease in magical pressure simply by using them.

Some Star Ring magical plants even permanently absorbed a wizard’s magical pressure to enhance their attack, defense, or mobility.

Therefore, the wizarding world could absolutely consume every unit of Star Ring resources!

Any shop alliance that could afford to sell Star Ring resources was undoubtedly a super-large alliance; otherwise, where would they get such power?

Locke snorted, startling the treant wizard, whose branches trembled. Locke then left the shop and, after leaving the Dragonblood Market, rode the Cloud Whale to his dormitory.

Locke opened the door, gave his servants a few instructions, and then sat in his study, activating various levels of protective magic arrays.

Next, he drank the bottle of Molten Soul Breath.

In an instant, the Molten Soul Breath erupted like a volcanic eruption, a fiery, dog-like life force bursting forth. Locke felt omnipotent; this life force, this vitality, made him feel like an existence that would never stop, never tire, never grow weary.

This powerful life force was transforming into his magic pressure!

A day later, Locke used a detection crystal to check and found that his magic pressure had increased by a full two hundred.

That is, his current magic pressure was twenty thousand seven hundred.

Locke’s true form opened his eyes.

“Although the magic pressure is increasing rapidly, it’s also burning through money. Although Golden Peach Garden is my teacher’s property, it’s still a ruthless merchant.”

“Every month I have to order goods, every month I have to queue, and after queuing, I have to spend ten million magic stones to buy a single spirit essence,”

Locke muttered. “I really wish

I were super rich, and then I could buy that shop alliance, and use any kind of spirit essence I could get, so I could quickly raise my magic pressure to 30,000 in a short time. It sounds wonderful,

but in reality it’s too difficult.

Golden Peach Garden is a legitimate top-tier shop alliance in Cloud Swamp Wetlands, its scale even rivals Arthas, far surpassing Solas and Melochy.

Although those two are also shop alliances that only third-ring wizards can control.

However, I’ve recently become a Star Ring Wizard, which does allow Augustus to enter the Star Ring realm, and I do need to buy an Augustus.” He built a headquarters in a large building, modeled after Aurelia, and began recruiting his own designers and establishing his own production lines.

After all, to advance further, he needed a larger scale, and currently, he relied heavily on Arthas.

If Arthas refused to serve him, his production lines would immediately shut down, and Augustus would cease to exist.

While relying on Arthas was normal at this stage, he also needed to build some of his own production capacity to cope with potential future shocks.

There are no permanent friends in this world, and Arthas wouldn’t always be on his side.

Especially with such a large alliance of shops, the internal personnel were complex and had differing opinions.

Of course, since Silver Peach Garden is no longer able to maintain its Moon Ring level business, and even the Star Ring Wizards’ businesses are not large-scale, it’s worth considering acquiring a portion of Silver Peach Garden’s shares.

Moreover, according to the agreement, if he completes his teacher’s task, he can share Silver Peach Garden’s shares equally with his teacher.

At this moment, Locke stood up, raising his palm. He still had some molten spirit energy remaining on his body that he hadn’t fully absorbed.

Because after contacting this spirit energy, he believed that the remaining power of this spirit energy could still be used for some other things.

To complement the strongman soybeans he had just acquired.

A wood elf maid came to report to him that a second-ring wizard had come to visit.

Locke was puzzled as to why a second-ring wizard would come to visit at this time.

“Let him in.”

After the person entered, Locke exclaimed in surprise, “Daniel, you’ve become a second-ring wizard?”

Wizard Daniel walked into the living room from the entrance hall. He was surrounded by lightning and storm aura, and his eyes were full of confidence.

“Yes, I’ve become a second-circle wizard. So next year I’ll be competing for the top-tier grant at Mount Golden Crown, just like you. I hope I’ll be victorious, Locke.”

Locke said, “Of course, you have the ability.”

“My initial prototype of a great magic, the Moon Mist of the Mirror Moon, was completed by you.”

“Daniel, what is your great magic?”

Wizard Daniel proudly stretched out his palm, and lightning and storms appeared in his hand. Then, these lightning and storms gradually transformed into a stream of spiritual energy, which was a stream of spiritual mist.

“This is a powerful magic I designed myself—Storm Mist.”

“Lightning, storms, everything in the sky can be transformed into mist, and mist can also transform into these weather phenomena. I found a life-bound plane with extreme climates, and through mist, I stored energy for that world. In this way, the extreme climates of that world, whether ice and snow or heavenly fire, are all transformed into a thin layer of mist in the sky, and the world itself is filled with weather cycles created by the weather magic I constructed with mist.”

“Locke, today I can finally say that I’ve truly entered the realm of weather science.”

“I got inspiration from studying mist in weather science. This mist can store energy, can seize the future, and can be infinitely varied—lightning, fire, storms, all at my command.”

Daniel said proudly, “Locke, my magic pressure is increasing rapidly; this speed is incredible.”

Locke sensed the other’s magic pressure—12,000—and immediately looked at the wizard Daniel, asking, “How did you do that?”

“

Let me show you,” said Wizard Daniel proudly. “This is a dimensional coordinate provided to me by my mentor, Master Fyodor.”

“In return, I helped him complete many projects.”

Just hearing this, Locke knew the immense price Wizard Daniel had paid. After all, getting benefits from a mentor without being their slave was almost impossible.

Even he himself had faced great danger twice.

And these few words from Daniel were filled with so much hardship.

Especially considering that Master Fyodor had abandoned him for a time in his early years, when he was almost a debt slave due to fraud.

The difficulty of regaining Master Fyodor’s trust was unimaginable.

Wizard Daniel used a magical mist to show him the general outline of that world.

“This is a special plane composed of three prime material planes, either in the process of becoming a large-scale plane or heading towards destruction.”

Locke saw three prime material planes growing on the surface of a world’s crystal wall system. These three prime material planes were too close together, then pulled together by a solar plane. Next, the three prime material planes began to move irregularly, each time they approached each other, it was like an apocalyptic cataclysm. The

extreme climates of the three prime material planes were incredibly severe.

Therefore, all three prime material planes were filled with extreme weather.

Daniel said, “Many weather wizards want to solve the problem of this world. Without solving it, the World Stone of this world cannot be used.”

“They want to change the trajectory of the three prime material planes, but I think that simply placing a layer of spirit mist over the skies of the three prime material planes will be enough. The energy generated by the gravitational pull of the three planes colliding with each other will be absorbed by my spirit mist and then converted into my magical pressure.”

“I solved the problem of this world and gave the first authorship of the paper to one of my mentor’s older, second-circle wizard senior brothers, and thus I obtained the World Stone of this world.

“However, the World Stone of this world can create four ultimate spells, so I only got the first slot. I might need to give three more slots to other senior brothers. Or maybe not—I’m thinking of a way, if I’m particularly wealthy—never mind, this is just wishful thinking. Locke, I’ll call my world ‘The Three-Sphere World,’ what do you think of that name?”

Locke understood. A clever move. The ultimate spell, Storm Spirit Mist, isn’t particularly special in other worlds, but this is weather magic.

Weather magic is all about adapting to local conditions.

Every place is different.

The three-sphere world teeters on the brink of destruction every moment, generating immense energy. Daniel cleverly transformed this energy into a layer of spirit mist. Clearly, the constant collisions were increasing the thickness of this mist layer, and the thicker the mist, the stronger Daniel’s magical pressure.

It was a chain reaction.

This was why he thought Daniel’s ultimate magic was brilliantly designed.

Locke suddenly realized something: if Daniel hadn’t been successfully scammed and his progress hadn’t been delayed, he would have been his competitor for the top-tier grant that year.

Given the structure of Daniel’s ultimate magic, if he had actually participated, even with the obstacle of crystallized magical plant technology, probably no one except Zeno could have rivaled him. Neither Zoma nor Brandy could. Of course, even then, the wizard who received the top-tier grant would still be him. Only this outcome wouldn’t change.

Locke said to Wizard Daniel, “Daniel, congratulations. You’ve become a second-ring wizard.”

Wizard Daniel laughed heartily, “Locke, I heard from my mentor that you’re going to participate in a very difficult competition soon. He also said you have many enemies, some of whom are ruthless and unscrupulous; they only care about victory, not the pursuit of truth.”

Wizard Daniel’s laughter stopped, and he looked at Locke seriously, saying, “My mentor said that the geniuses of Golden Crown Mountain must be united. Since you’re representing Golden Crown Mountain this time, our faction will also send someone to help you. That person is me. Tell me, who are your enemies? I will crush them all.”

Locke raised an eyebrow.

Along the Tianjiang River, in the Dean’s office of the Tide Grand Wizard Tower, Dean Elliott looked at Locke with a headache and asked, “Locke, why are you leaving the Tide Grand Wizard Tower now?”

His tone was somewhat bitter.

Locke glanced at the Dean upon hearing this, as it was very unusual.

He had already secured the university’s funding, so leaving before the second round officially began was perfectly normal. Given Dean Elliott’s personality, he shouldn’t have refused him.

Locke asked, “Principal Elliott, is there a problem?”

Principal Elliott replied, “No. There’s no problem. Although I’m temporarily immobile, Master Kikunmoon of the White Ice Tower is just an old man about to enter his coffin. Why would I be afraid of him? I was just saying, Locke, what will happen to your Wetland Magic Plant course if you leave?”

Locke asked curiously, “I looked at their homework, and it was very half-hearted.”

“These people only want to pass the exam to get a temporary forest ranger position in the local association’s three departments. They are indifferent to knowledge beyond that. However, that’s alright. I will try my best to give them a good foundation through the Wetland Magic Plant course. Even if they don’t need it now, they might need it someday in the future. This situation will improve.”

Principal Elliott crossed his arms.

“Well, although I’m not optimistic about it. The wizards in our academy are all just ordinary people. The real geniuses have long since gone to the Cloud Marsh Wetlands; they wouldn’t stay here. The teachers here are just ordinary wizards, and the students are just ordinary apprentices. They’re nothing to brag about. Besides, along the Tianjiang River, you have to learn something that brings short-term benefits just to avoid starving.”

“I think the students are just adapting to the local conditions,”

Locke said. “Indeed, we can’t blame the students entirely, because the local academy and shop alliance should be creating higher-level positions, not eliminating more.”

Headmaster Elliott paused for a moment. “A very novel perspective. It seems you don’t look down on the students of our wizarding land, and you don’t divide them into different classes.”

Locke said, “I’ve planned it out; my assistant can handle the second and third classes.”

“That’s normal, isn’t it?”

Headmaster Elliott nodded. “It’s very normal. But—”

Locke asked directly, “Headmaster, tell me frankly, how’s the war between you and the White Ice Tower going?”

Elliott said, “It’s alright—”

Locke said, “Tell me the truth.”

“Didn’t my Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow turn the tide of the battle?”

Principal Elliot asked. “No, quite the opposite. Because of the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow, we’ve recovered a significant amount of lost territory, and the situation isn’t on the verge of total collapse. But we still have about a third of our lost territory to recover.” “

The Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow and the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow are indeed very powerful, but the enemy has started purchasing large quantities of lightning-resistant magical artifacts from the shops near Rose Building, increasing their resistance to lightning magic. This has actually reduced the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow’s lethality.” “

Secondly, the number of nameplate magical artifacts at the White Ice Tower has suddenly increased dramatically, directly resurrecting a large number of White Ice Tower wizards.”

Locke now knew that using necromancy would cause him to lose his form, becoming a puppet of form, and there should be even more serious side effects. The third-ring wizards seemed to know this, hence their strong resistance to necromancy.

However, he suddenly thought, where did the third-ring wizards come from along the Tianjiang River?

Who here knew the true dangers of necromancy?

Therefore, it’s normal for nameplate magical artifacts to be abused in such a place.

“According to my report from my undercover agent in the White Ice Tower,” said Dean Elliott. “Just three days ago, the price of nameplate magical artifacts suddenly dropped.”

“It dropped to only one-fifth of its original price.” “

About 20,000 magic stones, some might be 10,000.”

Locke glanced at the Dean and said, “What, have the wizards behind those shops started doing charity? Or is there something more important than earning magic stones?”

Dean Elliott pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

“I don’t know. But there are more people on the battlefield who are neither alive nor dead, disrupting our winning streak.”

“Because everyone is wearing nameplate magical artifacts, some even have four or five, so our people can’t die. Once they die, they become undead.” “

And something else has appeared.”

Dean Elliott picked up the illusion projection pen on the table, and a bone blade magical artifact appeared before Locke.

“This is it. Killing a wizard with this thing causes the wizard’s spell model to leave their body, and then the person who killed them randomly inherits one of their spell models.”

A bead of sweat trickled down the headmaster’s forehead.

“I had my men urgently research it.” “

But that thing looks like just a slightly harder bone.”

“It’s incredibly hard; even my spells can’t destroy it. It’s unimaginable how they crafted it.

It’s harder than any magical alloy I’ve ever seen.”

Headmaster Elliott said, “That’s why I didn’t want you to leave at this time. I was afraid that when you returned, our academy would have already fallen, and your first service station would have been destroyed.”

A glint of light flashed in Headmaster Elliott’s eyes.

“And you and Rose the Witch are rivals, aren’t you? It’s all Rose the Witch’s Rose Building now, which is why the White Ice Tower can so easily buy so many magical artifacts,”

Locke said directly. “I think the reasons behind this are quite complex.”

Dean Elliott added, “Besides, I’m even considering using this bone blade. If it weren’t for the fact that this bone blade and the nameplate only work on first-ring wizards, I’d be tempted.”

“After all, being able to randomly obtain a spell model from a murdered person, even a relatively important spell model—”

“What magic are we supposed to research then?”

Locke glanced at the Dean, a half-smile on his face. “Dean, don’t provoke me. You still want to become a Moon Ring Wizard. If you use this thing, what will become of you as a Moon Ring Wizard?”

“Let me tell you frankly, the dangers of using necromancy are greater than you think, Dean. This is already a consensus among higher-level wizards.”

“The same applies to low-level wizards. Once they use necromancy, it may affect their future reincarnations, and they will find it difficult to advance normally in the future. This is even more obvious for high-level wizards.”

Dean Elliott looked thoughtful.

“Trading the present for countless years of the future? For us, it’s certainly not worth the trade. But for low-level wizards, it’s still very attractive. Especially along the Tianjiang River, almost no first-level wizards are pursuing truth. For them, if they can quickly learn a spell, there are only benefits and no drawbacks. Even I would find it hard to persuade them not to. By the way, this bone blade will be destroyed after one use. And there’s another problem: our wizards have discovered during battles that the bodies of wizards who use this magical artifact gradually transform into undead, a process that seems irreversible.”

“I speculate that with excessive use, they will completely become liches. I just don’t know how many times it will take.” “

Furthermore, these people seem to have some rather random side effects, such as inexplicable pain day and night, personality changes, or developing ‘hollow heart syndrome.’ You’re a potion master, you should know more than I do. But frankly, these things are drawbacks for wizards in your high-level wizarding lands, but for wizards in our ordinary wizarding lands—it doesn’t seem to be.”

“They don’t pursue truth in the first place.”

“Especially since we’re once again at a severe disadvantage in the Wizarding War.”

Locke glanced at Headmaster Elliott and immediately realized the crux of the problem.

Was this an attempt to use the Wizarding War to delay me, making me miss my best chance to leave?

My teacher was right; someone wouldn’t let me leave so easily.

Who was behind this?”
