Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 1030

Chapter 1019 The Mysterious Witch Traveling Together!

At the end of the Frosty River, in the March Palace, within the March Council.

The Great Sage of the Moon, Kikun, sat on the Moon Throne of the March Council. Above the three Moon Thrones was a beam of sunlight, representing the March Council itself as a reflection of the light from the Starry Sea.

The second-place winner, the March Council’s Great Sage, the witch, smiled and said, “No one knows yet what it means to win first place along the Tianjiang River. But the competition is already so fierce; a demolition quota in the Starfield Sea has driven many wizards from the Wizarding Lands crazy.” The third

-place winner, the March Council’s Great Sage, the wizard, said, “I’ve been in seclusion for a long time, but I was forced to intervene. A little fellow from Silver City actually came to me with a ring, a token of love from my youth, to repay the debt. I had no choice but to appoint him to the second round.”

“I really don’t know how he found that ring in the mortal world. Even I can’t find it myself,”

said the Great Sage Kikongyue. “We don’t need to let them know what winning first place in this competition means. That’s top secret from above. The entire event is being monitored by the Star Domain Sea. We just need to do our job and ensure that no one above the Star Ring level intervenes. With the barriers between wizarding lands, plus the magic of the Frost River bestowed upon us by the March Palace, wizards above the Third Ring level will find it difficult to enter, and Sun Ring wizards are no match for us.”

Great Wizard Kikongyue said, “I hope you will take this seriously. This is an order from the Star Domain Sea. If we don’t do it well, half of the staff along the entire Frost River will be immediately reduced.”

“We must maintain order in this competition.”

“The information we received from above is that if we manage this competition well, all the mistakes we made before can be offset.”

Great Wizard Kikongyue paused halfway through his sentence because someone had sent him an urgent message via a message in a bottle.

He reached out, drawing upon the magic of the Frost River. The entire message-in-a-bottle system relied on the magical power of the March Palace, so with a mere gesture, he retrieved the bottle from the surging magical currents of the Frost River.

Master Kikongyue, after reading the letter, turned ashen-faced. The goodwill he had developed from his conversation with Locke along the Frost River had vanished completely.

Locke Augustine!

“What exactly are you doing?”

Master Kikunyue stared at the information in the letter. He learned that Locke Augustine had directly participated in the war and had plundered a large number of wizards from the White Ice Tower.

Master Kikunyue’s pupils turned a deep blue, and terrifying icy magic emanated from his body, freezing the river below the March Palace.

The temperature in the entire March Palace dropped significantly.

At this moment, a question confronted Kikunyue: should he intervene?

With his magical power, he could definitely suppress that young man Locke if he intervened, and even kill his main body by killing his clone.

This was not a difficult problem for someone who was considered strong even among Moon Ring wizards, and with the blessing of the March Palace.

In the end, it was just a group of young wizards playing around below. Although they were young and powerful among Star Ring wizards, there was an absolute difference between Moon Ring and Star Ring—the difference between pseudo-forging and virtual forging.

A Star Ring level ultimate spell could not possibly collide with a Moon Ring level ultimate spell.

Even in his rage, Grand Wizard Kikongyue immediately realized something.

The letter’s words seemed to be inciting trouble? If Locke Augustine had truly done so, then he was undoubtedly a criminal, a dark wizard. The White Ice Tower’s council should have reported this to the White Wizard Association, but it hadn’t, which meant there was more to the story. “There are

countless things in this world. In all my years, haven’t I seen enough cases of wrongful accusations?”

Grand Wizard Kikongyue pondered, then made his second decision—to convene the March Council ahead of schedule.

This was the most appropriate course of action at the moment.

Because if, in his rage, he mistakenly attacked Locke, it could very well cause the White Ice Tower to lose its position as the chief of the March Council.

But letting that guy Locke act freely wasn’t good either.

However, Grand Wizard Kikongyue was, after all, an old fox. What kind of status did he hold in Tianhanjiang? Even a third-ring wizard entering Tianhanjiang would have to give him some face out of respect for the March Palace and his age.

When he was young, it wasn’t that he didn’t have the opportunity to become a higher-ring wizard, but he gave it up for his hometown, for something else.

Under the gazes of the two, Archmage Chikun said calmly, “Let’s convene the March Council ahead of schedule. Let’s discuss whether we should acknowledge that the current Two Rivers Coast Fund has already been awarded, whether everyone acknowledges the legality of the White Wizard Association’s procedures, and if not, what we should do.”

“Gather all participants at the end of this Tianjiang River. Immediately.”

At this moment, the reclusive male wizard suddenly said, “Now? No. I’m investigating the wizard who came to me with the ring. He obtained the ring through some means, which is unlikely, but there is a possibility that he forcibly took it.”

Master Kikongyue did not show the slightest anxiety.

“So, Raphael, how much time do you need?”

Wizard Raphael said, “Give me at least a week. That guy is from the Outer Wizarding Lands, and my ring is still in Ancient Vine Village. I contacted my alumni in Ancient Vine Village, but to investigate thoroughly, it will take at least another week. Can we hold the meeting again in a week? It shouldn’t be that urgent.”

“At this juncture, the sooner we hold the meeting, the more people will think they can exploit loopholes in the rules. Only half of the first round of grant recipients has been announced.”

Wizard Keekongyue pondered for a moment, then said, “I respect your opinion. Then let’s wait another week.”

He looked down at the battle report in his hand, his face grim. The report contained basic battle records. He hadn’t expected the gap between the wizards of his White Ice Tower and those of the Cloud Marsh Wetlands to be so large. Both were Star Ring Wizards, yet not a single Star Ring Wizard from the White Ice Tower dared to make a move.

Was this an excuse to strike, or were the other side really that powerful?

Grand Wizard Kekun couldn’t gauge the situation, because the gap between him and the other wizards of the White Ice Tower was too vast. He didn’t know just how powerful the characters those wizards couldn’t handle truly were.

Grand Wizard Kekun gritted his teeth.

“Lock Augustine, I had a good impression of you before. Are you also on that idiot Elliott’s side?”

Elliott was ambitious but incompetent; did he even deserve to be a Moon Ring Wizard? “Lock, Locke, choosing the wrong side means your potential is only so-so. And yet, as one of the three judges for this region’s highest fund, you dare offend me at this moment.”

Although Grand Wizard Kekun restrained his rage, his anger towards Locke still couldn’t be contained.

At this moment, Wizard Raphael lowered his head, a smirk playing on his lips. His sudden outburst couldn’t possibly be solely because he wanted to investigate Appian; that was just an excuse, a convenient excuse. He had recently received help from Wizard Trajan.

He had used a message in a bottle to send a letter to Wizard Trajan.

“This time, the favor is settled, Archmage Trajan. Someone of your stature, if you ask for my help again, it means you owe me a favor.”

At this moment, Archmage Chikunyue glanced at him, and frowned slightly the instant he threw the bottle.

Half a day later.

In Elliott’s office, Elliott saw the current battle report. “Good!”

He slammed his hand on the table, startling his assistant who looked up at him.

Archmage Elliott smiled, “Guest Augustine has displayed his divine power! As a guest instructor of our Tide Archmage Tower, he only needed to make a slight move to secure victory on the entire eastern front.”

“That’s wonderful.”

“As expected of Archmage Augustine. But this way, he’ll probably offend Master Chikunyue. This is—so fast—”

Elliott saw the bottle appear, opened it, and saw its contents.

He immediately sneered. “

—The

March meeting is in a week. That’s a month faster than expected. Who is this targeting? I thought Master Chikun Moon would at least stay out of it, but it seems this Moon Ring Archmage still controls the White Ice Tower. So, who is behind this war against our Tide Archmage Tower, and who organized the assassination attempt on me? That remains a mystery.”

“I need to notify Locke Augustine as soon as possible via message in a bottle.”

Dean Elliott quickly sent Locke a message in a bottle.

“Locke, I wonder if you can complete the experiment within a week?”

Dean Elliott wondered with some concern.

Inside the Tide Archmage Tower’s top-tier laboratory, Locke used the Evolution Moon – Ultimate Magic – Supermoon Form to illuminate the soybean warrior seeds and manipulated the soybean warriors to fight the undead, hoping to create as many soybean warrior subspecies as possible using this method.

At the same time, Locke was also trying to make the Golden Dragon Claw Pineapple symbiotic with the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow.

Moreover, he also brought in all the first-ring and second-ring wizard designers currently working at Silver Peach Garden. After this period of recovery, Silver Peach Garden had recruited quite a few new first-ring wizard designers.

Just when Locke felt that everything was developing in a positive direction, he suddenly received a message from the academy headmaster—the March meeting had been moved up to a week later.

Upon learning this news from Locke, Wizard Terence muttered to himself,

“A week? How can we possibly complete the upgrade of the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow in a week?”

“Master Kikunyue is deliberately targeting us.

” “What does that mean?”

Locke laughed, “I understand Master Kikunyue; after all, he is the founder of the White Ice Tower.”

“Besides, don’t be too discouraged. This is a collective research and development effort from our entire Silver Peach Garden design department. By pooling everyone’s strength, I think a week is enough.” “

Most importantly, we have a large enough number of undead as our experimental materials—they are practically endless. With so many undead to experiment with, it’s enough to quickly increase our research and development speed.”

Wizard Terence was a little dumbfounded.

“Huh? Didn’t Master Kikunyue already warn us? We still dare to capture the wizards of the White Ice Tower?”

Locke looked at him in surprise.

“What wizards of the White Ice Tower? Aren’t they unclaimed liches? Or rather, if I capture a few undead and run to Master Kikunyue to ask if they are students or mentors of the White Ice Tower, would Master Kikunyue dare to admit it to my face? Since he wouldn’t, that already says it all.”

“Everyone, hurry up and use my Moon of Evolution and the undead of the White Ice Tower to help me cultivate and select suitable subspecies of Soybean Warrior. I’ll go outside and capture more undead.”

Wizard Terence watched Locke leave.

At this moment, Witch Peach also came over. She was quite surprised to see Locke leaving and returning so hastily, each time bringing back hundreds of undead.

“This new supervisor is truly a genius.” “

I’ve never seen such a brutal white wizard, yet it was under his hands that Silver Peach Garden was reborn. Perhaps Silver Peach Garden always needed someone like him,”

sighed the witch Peach.

Six days later, in the top-tier water magic laboratory of the Tide Wizard Tower, within a thousand acres of magical fields, one soybean herb subspecies after another was being planted.

All the designers in Silver Peach Garden were working themselves to the bone.

They worked day and night, without sleep, accelerating the process.

During this process, they were drenched in sweat from exhaustion.

But what alarmed these first-ring wizards was that despite their hard work, compared to Locke’s efficiency, they were merely adding icing on the cake.

Their efficiency was negligible compared to Locke’s workload.

At this moment, Locke raised his right hand, and a magical magnetic field, centered on him, sliced through all the magical plants present. Then, the essence of these magical plants was all severed by the Moon of Evolution, and countless plant essences were gathered onto the blue full moon.

The next moment, the blue full moon, through a beam of moonlight, injected the combined set of plant essences into a seed in a magical field.

The next moment, the seed took root, sprouted, and quickly branched.

A first-ring wizard designer exclaimed, “Ah? What a robust soybean!”

In the magical field, a soybean magical plant appeared, each branch as muscular as a well-developed person, incredibly robust.

Locke snapped his fingers, and moonlight shone on the soybean plant, instantly reflecting a complete set of plant essences.

“That’s right, this is the magical plant I designed specifically to counter the White Ice Tower. I named it Hercules Soybean.”

“Thanks to everyone’s efforts, the mutation of my Supermoon, and my sword techniques, this magical plant now has eleven plant factors specifically designed to counter ice magic. Through various internal fluid adjustments, it can maximally resist the freezing power of the White Ice Tower’s ice magic.” “

This is all thanks to extensive practical testing with undead.”

Many wizards nodded in agreement. Using undead exempts them from ethical scrutiny, allowing for direct experimentation and rapid results.

Unfortunately, aside from dealing with undead, strict adherence to ethical regulations is still necessary at other times.

Locke said, “During my experiments with the undead, a soybean plant that I had downgraded to a first-level stage through grafting underwent a mutation in its plant essence. This resulted in a key plant factor that made the soybean plant’s branches thicker, stronger, and more defensive. I call it the Hercules Soybean Factor.” “

In this way, the power of this magical plant is even beyond my expectations.”

At this moment, a large green-leaved dragon sparrow flew above this Hercules Soybean plant, its shared imaginary roots falling one by one. Locke didn’t directly manipulate the Hercules Soybean through the “Scattering Beans to Form Soldiers” spell model, but rather through the multi-eyed pineapple monocle he wore in his left eye.

To some extent, he had found a new use for magical plants; he had created a relatively complete ecological niche for the equipment of magical plants.

At this moment, the mighty soybean, manipulated by the multi-eyed pineapple and the large green-leaved dragon sparrow, began to move. Meanwhile, the wizards of the Tide Grand Wizard Tower, including Gustav, who were observing the outcome, eagerly opened the water prison, allowing a lich in the crystallization stage of the white ice tower to enter.

The lich confidently stepped into the water prison, the soul fire flickering in its eye sockets.

“Here we go again. How many times has this happened? This past week, these wizards have always made me fight those magical plants, but every time, I win. Those soybean-type first-ring magical plants are no match for me.”

“How long will it take me to finish this battle? If it’s too fast, it won’t be good. Those wizards of the Tide Grand Wizard Tower might let in an even stronger enemy next time. Hmph, then I’ll fight that magical plant for a while, and then kill it.” The

crystallization wizard used ice magic, floating in mid-air, a trail of ice behind him as he walked.

He looked up and saw a congratulatory banner for a silver-clad peach orchard hanging on the magical plant before him, and was momentarily stunned.

“Congratulations to Silver Peach Garden, the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow 2.0 upgrade is successful?”

Just as the crystallized wizard was still in a daze, he suddenly felt a powerful magical pressure approaching.

“This magical pressure—”

“This isn’t the same magical plant as before!”

Hercules Soybean punched him in the abdomen, shattering his ice armor. The punch even made his thoracic vertebrae crack.

“This—”

The lich was sent flying.

Bang!

The water wall was smashed, creating a large crater, and then the rapid current pushed him back.

When the crystallized lich got up from the ground again, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

At this moment, he even saw the headmaster of the academy, Elliot, come to see the result.

The crystallized lich immediately chanted a spell, raised his hand to summon an ice tower, and then the ice tower launched countless ice pine needles at Hercules Soybean.

However, the pine needles only shattered upon impact when they landed on Hercules Soybean’s branches and leaves, having no effect on Hercules Soybean at all.

The wizards present, including those from Gustav, applauded.

The Crystallized Wizard, witnessing this, felt his soul fire leap. Little did he know, this was the result of Locke using the last remaining funds from Silver Peach Garden to gather everyone and perfect his ultimate magic, Evolution Moon. He created a Magical Frequency Cultivation Method combined with the Moon Cultivation Method, then used a Synthetic Cube to accelerate the process.

Ordinary wizards couldn’t summon dozens of first-ring designers to serve them.

Ordinary wizards didn’t have a supermoon to use a dual cultivation method.

Ordinary wizards didn’t have a Synthetic Cube, and most importantly, they had a constant stream of undead liches as test subjects, continuously increasing their experimental speed.

It could be said that with the help of these undead, Locke forcibly compressed what might have taken him three to six months into six days.

This wasn’t an exaggeration; it was because the difference between testing with the White Ice Tower liches and allowing plants to undergo adaptive evolution was completely different.

Otherwise, even with a supermoon, it wouldn’t have been possible to create a magical plant so effective against the White Ice Tower’s magical system in such a short time.

Of course, the Mighty Soybean not only countered the White Ice Tower, but also the wizards specializing in ice magic.

The soul fire flickered in the crystallized wizard’s eye sockets.

“How is this possible?”

“Ice Cone Barrage!”

Countless ice cone bullets attacked the Mighty Soybean, but the Mighty Soybean simply shook its incredibly thick branches and leaves, dodging most of the ice cone bullets. Even the few ice cone bullets that hit its branches and leaves only knocked off a few leaves.

Moreover, those attacks only made the Mighty Soybean’s branches and leaves wilt slightly.

At this moment, the crystallized wizard took a half step back, the soul fire flickering in his pupils, clearly filled with fear.

“What kind of monster is this? Why is my ice magic useless?”

At this moment, even Principal Elliot couldn’t help but say a word when he saw this scene.

“Good.”

He looked at Locke with bright eyes.

“Locke, as expected of you! You managed to create a magical plant that completely counters the White Ice Tower magic in just six days,”

Locke said. “No matter what fancy tricks the White Ice Tower uses, it’s fundamentally based on the Ice Tower magic system. So, as long as I cultivate a magical plant that counters the Ice Tower magic system, I can turn the tide of battle for you.”

Principal Elliot looked at Locke and asked, “There’s a question, why—”

At this moment, in the water prison, Hercules Bean walked towards him step by step, like a giant. Hercules Bean plucked a pod from its body; the pod was like a green scimitar. It slashed fiercely at the undead, instantly piercing the undead’s ice armor.

In that instant, countless soybeans scattered from the destroyed pod, followed by an explosion of life energy.

The undead lich was blasted out.

Dean Elliott asked, “Not only is its defense so strong, but its attack power is also incredibly powerful?”

“I have a question,” he continued, “why can this magical plant completely ignore the opponent’s ice magic? That’s amazing!”

O

-Rock explained, “Dean, it’s not ignoring it. The moment it’s attacked by ice magic, eleven changes occur within the Hercules Soybean. The most important of these is that the Hercules Soybean’s cell sap secretes a natural magical structure similar to a heat spell, thus altering the Hercules Soybean’s freezing point.”

At this moment, the undead lich had already been killed by the Hercules Soybean using its pod.

Dean Elliott’s eyes lit up upon seeing this, and he nodded repeatedly.

“Good. That’s excellent.”

“Wizard Locke, how much longer will it take for the wizards of our Tide Grand Wizard Tower to purchase such excellent magical plants?”

Locke said, “There’s no need to purchase more Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrows. Currently, almost every official wizard in the Tide Grand Wizard Tower has one Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow. You only need to purchase Hercules Soybeans. As for the Imaginary Roots, they can all be provided by the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow at my headquarters.”

Sharing Imaginary Roots through the Multi-Eyed Pineapple only requires building a magic tower at each specific location to place one Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow.

However, it’s sufficient for defense.

Moreover, before leaving, he can arrange for the Silver Peach Garden to expand its magic station, but calling it a magic station sounds too awful. Locke plans to name it the [Imaginary Root Station].

In this way, one Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow can manipulate up to two or three Hercules Soybeans.

Although generally speaking, wizards at other stages, except for Crystallized Wizards, shouldn’t have the magic to manipulate more Hercules Soybeans; being able to manipulate one is already quite good.

Locke said to Wizard Terence, “The remaining undead are useless. They’re a threat if left in the Tide Grand Wizard Tower; let’s get rid of them.

“

Wizard Terence nodded.

“Indeed. A few days ago, I saw an undead trying to tempt a second-class wizard apprentice in the Tide Grand Wizard Tower’s laboratory, trying to get him to learn necromancy. These undead are always good at bewitching people; they deserve to die. Since they’re no longer useful, it’s better to eliminate them sooner rather than later.”

At this moment, Headmaster Elliott said to everyone, “Let’s give Wizard Augustine a round of applause.”

The wizards of the Tide Grand Wizard Tower present applauded enthusiastically, the applause resounding throughout the hall.

Locke nodded and said to the headmaster, “Nothing else. I’ll be going

now.” “I need to take a boat immediately to the end of the Frost River, to the March Palace. One day is enough time; even with the most expensive wizard ship, we should still make it.”

Headmaster Elliott’s eyes flickered, then he followed Locke to a secluded corner of the laboratory. He then took a magic box from his astral ring and quickly handed it to Locke.

Locke looked at the headmaster in surprise. “What is this?”

Dean Elliott asked. “It contains three Tidal Essences. Although according to the agreement, I only need to give you one Tidal Essence per month, seeing how hard you’ve worked to upgrade the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow for our Tidal Grand Wizard Tower, and how your colleagues in Silver Peach Garden have been working tirelessly, I’m giving you all the Tidal Essences I have to repay you. Two sets in total.” “

Although our Tidal Grand Wizard Tower has had that Tidal Magic Fountain for a long time, we have too many people in our academy, including some Star Ring Wizards. Moreover, Star Ring resources aren’t just for increasing the magical pressure of Star Ring Wizards; they have many other uses. The academy has at least three projects that rely on these Tidal Essences to function. So I don’t have many in stock.” “

And currently, to support the two of us long-term, I’m afraid those three projects will have to be shut down. But it doesn’t matter; it’s proven to be worthwhile. Locke, you managed to research such a magical plant that counters the White Ice Tower in just six days; that’s truly beyond my expectations.”

“Expand production, Locke. I believe the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow will become a legend along the Tianjiang River.”

Locke didn’t refuse.

Star Ring resources were exactly what he lacked most.

After bidding farewell to the headmaster and instructing the wizards of Silver Peach Garden, Locke hired a magic carriage and prepared to head to the end of the Tianjiang River.

On the magic carriage, Locke pondered. “

I need a large amount of Star Ring resources, hundreds of millions of magic stones, and to quickly increase my magic pressure, the more money the better. Therefore, I need the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow to sell better and better, and the more service stations to build.”

This is the first time I’ve been able to manage a business across the entire wizarding land. This isn’t a privilege that Star Ring wizards normally possess, even in an ordinary wizarding land. But now it seems that the shackles on us have been removed in this wizarding land. At least in this wizarding land, we contestants can do whatever we want, almost without anyone managing us. This is my opportunity, this competition is full of opportunities for me.”

Besides, I also need to acquire more channels to purchase Star Ring resources.

After all, Star Ring resources aren’t something money can buy.

Locke pondered, “Also, this time at the March Council,”

Locke crossed his arms, “since we’re discussing the competition format, I need to make it as favorable as possible for me.”

Locke narrowed his eyes.

“I don’t know what the other participants are thinking. But for me, the faster this format proceeds, the more disadvantageous it is. Conversely, the longer it drags on, ideally without a funding decision this year, but rather in the next few years, the more advantageous it will be for me.”

“To win the competition, perhaps the most important thing is to change the format. For someone like me who possesses the Synthetic Cube, holding the finals now is simply too unfriendly.” “

I don’t know if my judgment is correct. But how can I prolong the competition?”

Locke began to think deeply. At the same time, unaware of the direction his magic carriage was traveling, a witch carrying a magic umbrella was walking along the road.

The witch looked up at the sun in the sky.

“Ugh, what an annoying place! Either it rains magic rain, or the sunlight is so blinding. How can it compare to the Cloud Marsh Wetlands?”

“Teacher, teacher. You gave my Hundred Dragon Peach Pit to Locke Augustine. I want to see what kind of person this junior brother really is.”

“Such a weak wizard, I might as well kill him now. My current recovery power is sufficient.”

A powerful magical pressure suddenly appeared on the witch’s body, seemingly at the limit of the Star Ring.

A wicked smile graced the girl’s face. Her magical pressure was 29,999. Her Great Magic had reached the pinnacle of forging, possessing a complete second form, and her power system had been perfected to its peak. However, due to her current special state, she couldn’t transition from virtual forging to pseudo-forging.

After all, there’s a dimensional difference between virtual and pseudo-forging.

And her Peach Curve Thorn Arrow spell had already reached its highest level.

Therefore, no matter how excellent Locke was at this moment, if she wanted to kill Locke, she could definitely do so.

At this moment, inside the magic carriage, the summoning wizard hired by Locke whispered, “My lord, is this a friend or an enemy? Why is someone blocking your carriage halfway?”

Locke was startled and quickly prepared for battle.

He then lifted the curtain and saw a little girl with twin ponytails standing before him, one black and one white.

Upon seeing Locke, the girl clearly recognized him, her face showing surprise.

“It’s you.”

“This wizard, I’m going to the end of the Frost River. Shall we travel together?”

Locke was silent for a moment, because the other girl’s magical pressure was only at the first level of crystallization, yet it gave him a very strange feeling, as if the person before him was a ferocious beast, and her words, “It’s you,” clearly indicated that she knew him.

But he had never recognized her.

Black and white twin ponytails, strikingly beautiful.

But he truly didn’t recognize her.

Locke looked at her and asked, “Who are you?”

At this moment, the girl with the black and white twin ponytails had already boarded the magic carriage. She sat opposite Locke, smiling sweetly.

“You don’t want to know who I am. It’s just that we share the same goal, so we can travel together. I’ve made it clear beforehand that I rarely allow young people like you to sit with me. Therefore, I have three rules: First, you must not touch me. Second, you must not speak disrespectfully. Third, you must not speak to me.”

At this moment, the driver of the magic carriage was somewhat dumbfounded. He looked at Locke, who nodded to him, signaling him to continue.

Locke, however, was secretly wary of the witch.

The magic carriage continued its journey.

The witch with black and white twin tails curled her lips into a smile.

On the other side, on another road, the golden dragon Fafnir appeared before the girl.

The girl’s pupils suddenly shrank.

“It’s you.”

“Golden dragon Fafnir, are you here to stop me?”

“Teacher, are you so concerned about my junior brother?”

The golden dragon Fafnir sneered, his massive dragon body landing on the ground, and a terrifying magical pressure descended.

The girl took a half step back. “This wizarding land is under martial law now. How could someone like you, a third-ring being, get in? Wait—you came in from the insurmountable barrier—the Dragon Mountains.”

“Fafner, what are you doing? Have you forgotten that you and my teacher raised me from infancy?”

The golden dragon Fafner said, “You’ve got it wrong. I don’t have the same rich emotions as you humans. You’re in my way, so I’m here to kill you. Right now, Locke is Catherine’s beloved student. And I have nothing to do with your conflict. So the one who ordered me to kill you is none other than Catherine herself.” “

You know too much.”

“If you live, I won’t sleep a wink.”

“I won’t let anything change. Now, think about how you’re going to escape from me?”

The next moment, the girl actually raised the nameplate magic artifact in her hand.

“Fafnir the Golden Dragon, do you recognize this? Before a third-circle wizard, only ultimate magic is the last magic a second-circle wizard cannot perceive. This is an ironclad rule. If you want to kill me, I will commit suicide and become an undead. I will enter the ultimate magic of a dragon lich, the Wheel of the Dead. All the dead spirits that die within this wizarding land will not disappear, but will only be cast back into the Wheel of the Dead.”

Fafnir the Golden Dragon sneered. “Starforging’s ultimate magic doesn’t possess such power,”

the girl said. “That’s not the ultimate magic of the Star Ring Wizard; it’s something the Lich God uses for reincarnation.”

“You can try, Fafnir the Golden Dragon.”

“Once I become undead, you’ll lose your bargaining chip. My life, honor, and disgrace are now in your hands. I’ve been driven to the brink, so I have no choice but to side with the undead. I have no choice but to reveal everything I know about my teacher’s schemes to the undead.” “

Fafnir the Golden Dragon, killing me weakens me. And weakening me means letting my current allies devour me.”

Fafnir the Golden Dragon irritably swung his tail.

“So you’re collaborating with those undead to create a timed death switch? If I kill you, I’ll activate it. Damn it. You’ve really learned something from Catherine the Witch. Catherine always says Locke resembles her in her youth, but I think you’re more like her.”

“Locke isn’t that insidious.”

“So, you’re using your own death to blackmail me.”

The girl said, “Lord Fafnir, I can exchange some information with you as a gift for letting me go—I’ve heard that the Lich God has existed since ancient times, but has never successfully descended. But the moment it does, it will plunder everything.” “

Across the entire Tianjiang River, even mortals without much wizarding talent can learn advanced magic by transforming into undead.”

“That’s the power of the Lich God. Once it descends, it will be a crisis of civilization’s destruction.”

“How about this reward?”

Fafnir, the Golden Dragon, sneered, suddenly turning to leave. The next moment, he abruptly turned back, unleashing dragon breath, but the girl immediately prepared to crush the brand-name magical artifact, transforming herself into an undead.

Fafnir glanced at the girl.

The girl was terrified, sweat beading on her forehead and back. She wasn’t sure if Fafnir would believe she was lying.

It wasn’t impossible.

But she was lucky today, because after several investigations, the Golden Dragon had indeed found traces of the Yellow Springs Wheel shrouding this place, so what the girl said might be true.

Fafnir said, “You’d better watch yourself. Why did you end up like this? You’ve narrowed your own path.”

“Ignoring ethics and conducting illegal experiments will only drive yourself and those around you to a dead end

.

” The girl retorted stubbornly, “I’m doing this to stop my teacher from committing suicide. The path she’s taking is too dangerous. I’m still on her side, and only I deserve to be on her side.”

“She’s going to fight the fourth-ring wizards.”

“It’s too dangerous for her to go down this path.”

The golden dragon Fafnir sneered, “I’ll kill you sooner or later.”

“Girl.”

On Locke’s magic carriage, the black-and-white twin-tailed witch seemed to know everything about the magical plants Locke carried, and she was most interested in the magic dragon rose.

For some reason, the witch quickly started chatting with Locke.

“Hahaha—Locke, your imagination is really rich.”

“Not at all, your expertise in breeding far surpasses mine. Although I don’t know your name, I still feel that communicating with you has greatly benefited my spiritual studies.”

The black-and-white twin-tailed girl seemed to enjoy it very much.

“What? Some seemingly profound but potentially erroneous theories I, a stranger, present can actually inspire you?”

Locke nodded. Although her explanation of breeding science was fragmented and seemed intentionally incomplete, he still sensed her level of expertise.

This didn’t seem to be an ordinary wizard.

He just didn’t know who she was.

The girl with black and white twin tails smiled, her eyes narrowing.

“Not bad, not bad. Your taste is excellent. I like it very much. Locke, who made this Dragon Rose? Was it you?”

Locke hesitated for a moment, then said, “Yes.”

He didn’t say whether it was him or not, just “Yes.
