Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 1050

Chapter 1035 Business Negotiation of 80 Million Magic Stones and Top-Tier Meditation Technique!

When Locke contacted Queen Ella, she was riding a stag marked with a star ring, seemingly inspecting a territory of the High Elf Great World.

She was clad in silver armor, wielding a silver blade, and was stabbing a demon in the abdomen with it before lifting it up and tossing it aside.

Locke saw a continent flowing with blood and flames in the sky behind Queen Ella.

That continent seemed to be in the dimensional orbit of the High Elf Great World.

Queen Ella looked at Locke and said, “My Great Breeder, on behalf of Arthas, I am delighted to see you again. Don’t be surprised, this is [Planetary Convergence]. The High Elf Great World and the Nine Hells have interacted in the void. The Nine Hells plane has been moving its position freely in the endless void; it was probably just passing by our world.”

“They might be searching for a target in the vicinity of this void. They probably wouldn’t dare invade the High Elf Great World; they don’t have that capability,”

Queen Ella said. “This world is controlled by our Arthas Platform, and we have high-ring wizards protecting us. Mr. Augustine, I saw your message. A breeder as talented as you is the future and a changer of the wizarding world. I’ve seen the video you sent me; your achievements are outstanding and very convincing. I’ve tried contacting Lady Candice of Quinnjoll. If that Six-Eyed Raven is interested, you might be able to secure this Quinnjoll order.”

Queen Ella continued, “But honestly, this war can no longer be called the Abyss War of the Five Great Wars; it’s practically Quinnjoll’s solo declaration of war against Papalil, one of the seventy-two Daedric Princes of the Abyss. The specific reasons are unknown, and the specific objectives are also unclear.”

“If they want to destroy Papalil, then this war is going to be a long one. Of course, I think with your Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow, you might be able to change the course of this war to a great extent. If Quinnjoll is willing to cooperate with you and us.”

At this moment, a huge hell demon suddenly appeared behind her. This demon raised its fiery battle blade, about to strike at the Sun Ring Wizard, Ella. But the next moment, without even turning her head, Queen Ella appeared on her head with a crown made of tree branches. She casually swung her blade behind her, and countless vines suddenly grew from the demon’s body, then strangled its neck. In an instant, a Star Ring level hell demon died.

Locke looked at the sky behind Queen Ella and saw nothing but fiery meteors falling to the ground, seemingly the invading demons of Hell.

This made Locke somewhat worried. If Arthas had also been invaded by Hell, would it be appropriate to entrust his wizard shoe production line to Arthas?

But then he reconsidered. If he didn’t entrust it to Arthas and instead took charge himself, the costs would increase many times over, and the quality might even decrease.

Arthas had a fourth-circle wizard as his backer.

Hellish planes were most likely just passing by the High Elf Great World in the endless void.

Queen Ella smiled at Locke, “You actually made me use my ultimate magic. Locke, this is the power of ultimate magic during True Forging. Ah, Lady Candice has replied; she was satisfied after watching the video. So this time, it wasn’t her who contacted you, but the head of the weapons department of the [Abyss War Committee] established by Quinnjoll Academy, a Moon Ring Wizard, who came to handle this matter.” “

That’s really good news; it proves that they are genuinely willing to close the deal.”

“Good luck.”

“I’m currently in charge of clearing out the demons threatening our production and R&D lines, so Wizard Locke, let’s stop here for now. That Moon Ring Wizard, I think, is a very picky and stingy person,”

Queen Ella said. “I don’t like him at all. He really likes to turn one magic stone into ten. I’ve dealt with him before. His biggest characteristic is that he likes to spend a lot of money for a little bit of profit.”

Locke greeted her, and then Queen Ella quickly hung up the video call on the Water Hyacinth system, but soon a wizard named Tristan Walden contacted him.

After Locke contacted his friend, the other party immediately used the Water Hyacinth System to make a video call.

The image of a middle-aged man appeared on the illusion screen in front of him.

Ten minutes earlier, Tristan Walden was selecting usable war supplies on the Arthas Platform. He frowned.

“This is too expensive. This is cheaper, but the magical plant properties are not acceptable. If we sell it to the wizard legions at the front, they will likely refuse.”

“Value for money, the key is value for money.”

Wizard Tristan Walden tapped his fingers on the wooden tabletop. As the head of the weapons department of the Quinnjoll War Council, his task was to save money for his superiors and obtain acceptable supplies for the wizards below. If he could procure weapons that were both cheap and could produce good results in battle, then that value for money would be his achievement.

This was a demonstration of his competence as the head of the weapons department.

—So

, although Tristan Walden found several potentially helpful plant-based weapons on the Arthas platform, he ultimately abandoned them due to their exorbitant prices.

He was preparing to check other platforms for anything that might be helpful and then purchase them remotely.

“Should I create a separate project?”

“That would cost too much money. Ultimately, cost-effectiveness is paramount.”

The wizard said, “When I purchase war supplies, my primary concern is—worth the price.”

Just then, he noticed that Lady Candice had contacted him on the Water Hyacinth system, recommending a wizard friend and sending him a video.

After watching the video, Tristan Walden noticed that the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow had been specially bred and adjusted to adapt to the wizards’ magical systems against the White Ice Tower. His eyes lit up; a breeder capable of this was definitely no ordinary person.

Interesting.

“This is interesting. But why wasn’t a price mentioned?”

“The quality is good enough. The same type of magical plant sells for 100,000 magic stones a set along the Tianjiang River, so the price-performance ratio is not bad. But the problem is, we don’t know how much the other party will offer this time.”

Wizard Tristan Walden said, “This price is already very cheap. But since it’s so cheap, it means that the other party must be able to lower the price further.”

“If we can lower the price to 70,000 magic stones per plant, that would be perfect.”

At this moment, in his dormitory, Locke was sitting on the sofa in the living room when he heard Wizard Tristan Walden’s question to him, “I’ve seen your Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow. It’s alright. Barely usable. But I didn’t see your price quote. What’s your unit price?”

Locke didn’t answer immediately, but after thinking for a moment, he said, “That depends on Mr. Walden’s needs. Different styles have different prices. The combination of Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow and Hercules Soybean costs 300,000 magic stones.”

“This price is a bit high, but it comes with excellent service guarantees, such as subsequent technical upgrades and product repairs. There are already two service stations for the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow along the Tianjiang River, with sufficient repair and upgrade capabilities.”

“We also have a partnership with the Holy Land of the Wind Hunters.”

Tristan Walden exclaimed in astonishment, “Three hundred thousand magic stones for a set? That’s too expensive! I saw the information before, and your price along the Tianjiang River wasn’t this

high. However, I am very interested in the repair service and product upgrades you mentioned.” “As for the matter of the Dragonfall Land, I’m not interested. It’s far from the Three Swamps Land. It doesn’t make much sense.”

Tristan Walden said, “Quinjol is a big client. If we use your product, it’s like giving your product a GG (game over). Then it should be easier for you and other wizarding academies to make deals with individual wizards. So this price needs to be changed. If we can close the deal for eighty thousand magic stones per set, then things will be very ideal for me.”

A shrewd glint flashed in the wizard Tristan Walden’s eyes.

“This price should still be profitable for you.   ” Locke was taken aback by the offer, as the complete set of the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow and the Mighty Soybean involved at least four first-ring enchanted plants. Two more multi-

eyed   pineapples were needed for connection and manipulation, and the other party might even demand enchantment scrolls and subsequent upgrades and maintenance. Yet, the other party   dared to ask for 80,000 magic stones for a set.   Tristan Walden, the wizard, said, “Locke, if you can make a deal with me, I can sign a contract with you now.   For the first batch, I plan to purchase 400 Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrows. That’s a huge quantity, far beyond what ordinary wizarding businesses can handle. Small profits, quick turnover—you’ll make a profit too.”   Locke quickly calculated the cost and revenue of his set if he did this. The other party wasn’t wrong; if they could invest in large quantities in the Abyss War, it would be very beneficial for the subsequent sales of the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow.   He was particularly optimistic about Quinnjoll’s victory in the Abyss War.   Selling his plant-based weapons to the side with the higher probability of winning would help improve the performance of his own plant-based weapons.   This was one aspect of the temptation.   However, the thought of paying 80,000 magic stones for a set of weapons—   Locke was having a headache. The wizard’s overly familiar and enthusiastic tone made him feel that if he agreed to this deal, he would be making the biggest concession he had ever made.   But should he sacrifice short-term gains for long-term benefits?   Locke said, “But Mr. Tristan Walden, this price is far too low. It’s very difficult for me.”   Wizard Tristan Walden quickly replied, “I am very, very sincere. You’re just a little short of my order of two hundred sets, just a little short. Please reconsider, is it really impossible to compromise?”   ”You can re-cultivate the Great Blue Leaf Dragon Sparrow and create a magical plant platform specifically for our enemies—”   Locke had just been considering the other party’s conditions when he suddenly heard Mr. Walden propose a second, entirely new condition: to re-cultivate the Great Blue Leaf Dragon Sparrow and create a magical plant combination specifically for the Papalliel Demon God Legion.   Locke was speechless.   The other party seemed to have grasped his psychological shift, adding a completely new requirement just as he was about to accept the first demand.   Tristan Walden said, “I know many friends and have a vast network. Young man, broaden your horizons. You can still make money. As long as you carefully check the costs, you won’t lose money on this deal. But if you can get more business because of this, wouldn’t the profit from this deal increase?”   “You’re just a little bit away from two hundred orders—the first-ever large-scale purchase record for the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow. Really, just a little bit.”   Locke said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Walden, you really can’t do this.”   Tristan Walden tapped his fingers on the table and whispered, “I can reveal to you that Quinnjoll’s current war objective is a second-ring witch who has been taken to the current fourth level, the Berserk Elemental City, by Papalliel, one of the seventy-two Daedric Princes of the Abyss.”   “Our current objective is to bring that witch out of the Berserk Elemental City. This is a clear war objective, which means our chances of winning are high.”   “And if your Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow appears in such a victorious war, how much GG benefit could it bring?”   ”This is the largest operation against the Abyss in the Wizarding World in the last decade. After all, in the last hundred years, the conflict between the Wizarding World and the Abyss has been relatively minor, while the conflict with its former ally, the Nine Hells, has been growing stronger.”

Locke frowned. While he could indeed seem to profit from the deal,

his primary focus was on participating in the war and achieving victory. This would be a significant boost to the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow’s record,

potentially elevating it from a minor local magical plant to a well-known magical plant series in the Eastern Boundary.

The subsequent benefits were considerable,

especially after learning that Quinnjoll’s war objectives weren’t particularly ambitious. This plan became even easier to realize.

However, there was a problem. Queen Ella had specifically warned him that this Moon Ring Wizard was prone to being greedy for small gains, which often led to significant losses. Currently, the contracts the Moon Ring Wizard was seeking were, overall, reasonable; he simply wanted to maximize his profits, requiring him to make concessions.

But with Queen Ella’s reminder to him, Locke suddenly said, “Mr. Walden, you’re not thinking of signing a contract with me for 80,000 per set of Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrows, are you? I estimate it’s 60,000 or 70,000 per set. If I agree to your demands, you’ll make a new request after I’ve already mentally agreed, and tell me that I’m only one step away from completing the so-called big order you mentioned.” “

Mr. Tristan Walden, I can’t do this business with you. Quinnjoll’s order is indeed very valuable, but selling my magical plants so cheaply is not in Aladdin’s interest.”

Wizard Tristan Walden narrowed his eyes.

“Did Ms. Ella say anything to you? She rarely shows any bias in business dealings.”

“It seems she did consult with you beforehand.”

Locke said, “To put it bluntly, if you want me to redevelop the Great Green Leaf Dragonfly specifically for your Quinjol’s enemies, then I won’t just ask for 300,000 magic stones per set. I’ll add more on top of that. I carefully calculated the research and development costs while we were talking. I think if you buy two hundred Great Green Leaf Dragonflies, you’ll need to pay me 400,000 magic stones per set.” “

Our Great Green Leaf Dragonfly has already proven its modular symbiotic magical plant concept in the Wizard War of the White Ice Tower-Tide Great Wizard Tower, possessing the ability to adjust accordingly to different enemies. In other words, it can create different magical plant systems based on different enemies, thus creating an absolute counter to the enemy.” “

If you are interested in completing this deal, then I will definitely complete the corresponding development work for you.”

“Even if I’m extremely busy, I’ll try my best to find time amidst the busyness.”

Locke thought about how his journey to the Rain Swamp would take at least 27 days by wizard airship, enough time to complete the breeding and debugging work.

Tristan Walden’s feigned smile vanished. His face was expressionless, his eyes serious, his hands clasped as he sat at the table, staring at Locke.

“Four hundred thousand magic stones per set?”

“That price has severely reduced the competitiveness of your product. In my opinion, it has no appeal whatsoever.”

Tristan Walden scanned Locke. “How about this? We can draw up two contracts: one for my sixty thousand magic stones per set, and one for your four hundred thousand.”

Locke looked at him with suspicion, wondering what kind of scheme this was to lower his price.

This Moon Ring Wizard was far more cunning than the likes of the Great Wizard of Chikun Moon.

Tristan Walden said, “We can certainly draw up two contracts. And this is the rare Moon Ring-level magical item from the Conjuration School, the [Ring of Grotesqueness].”

Locke said, “The Ring of Grotesqueness can teleport a wizard into a designated space, allowing him to freely enter and exit that space. However, each time he enters or exits, the space captured by the Ring of Grotesqueness will detach from the ring, so it needs to be reset every time it’s used.” “

But this is a masterpiece of spatial wizards. I’ve seen it in books,”

Tristan Walden said. “Right now, this Ring of Grotesqueness has captured a Star Ring-level Abyss Demon. His magical pressure is slightly stronger than yours. Not by much, I can tell you definitively, it’s 23,000. Only 1,500 higher than yours. But if you say you can cultivate magical plants that counter Abyss Demons, then you need to prove it to me.” “

You need to prove to me that you possess the strength to subdue that Abyss Demon, otherwise, how can you talk about cultivating it?”

Locke knew that the other party was deliberately conflating the two issues.

The only thing the other party wanted to do was lower his unit price.

If he refused, it would be easier to force him to agree to the other party’s exaggeratedly low selling price. But if he agreed, it would be exactly what the other party wanted.

Wizard Tristan Walden said, “If you can take him down in ten minutes, I will sign a contract with you for 400,000 per set and pre-order two hundred sets at once. But if you can’t take down this abyss demon—the Balrog—in ten minutes, then we’ll stick to my contract. How about it?”

“Of course, for a young genius like you, I will definitely take care of your interests. After all, I also want to maintain future cooperation with you. If the transaction is completed at the price I proposed, then I will arrange for you to use my connections to get to know other wizards who are interested in buying your magical plants.”

Locke no longer believed his last sentence.

After all, if Wizard Tristan’s friends had the same personality as him, it would be really funny.

They would probably all want to fleece him.

Tristan Walden was genuinely interested in Quinnjoll as a client. If he could do well, he could not only pay off his current 40 million magic stones borrowed through personal credit, but also make the Aladdin Shop Alliance famous throughout the Eastern Region, letting more wizards hear about the Shop Alliance and his Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow.

Wizard Tristan Walden smiled at Locke and said, “So, you’re guaranteed to make money no matter what.”

He carefully considered what he had seen in the video recording and still admired Locke’s Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow, recognizing its abilities and related magical plant trait data. Such an excellent product at such a low price was not something he could easily find.

After all, he had been sitting in his office, browsing the Water Hyacinth System for a long time, and so far, the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow was still the most suitable for him.

After all, the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow had a very cost-effective advantage: it was just the core, and different symbiotic magical plants could be created according to different needs.

Wizard Tristan Walden looked at Locke, somewhat apprehensive that Locke might flatly refuse.

“Well, here’s the information on that Abyss Demon. Are you confident?”

Locke glanced at the Abyss Demon’s information and pondered, “How many minutes? Alright, Wizard Tristan Walden, open the Grotesque Ring for me. I’ll try my best.”

Tristan Walden’s eyes flashed with a sudden burst of light. Giving Locke little time to react, he twirled the ring on his hand, and in an instant, Locke was struck by its light. He vanished from his spot and reappeared in a peculiar space.

The sky and earth of this space were filled with flowing golden sand.

An hourglass appeared in the sky, its sands flowing.

A Balrog, its entire body engulfed in flames, locked onto Locke. In the next instant, a greatsword appeared in its hand, instantly engulfed in flames, and slashed towards Locke. A massive wave of fire swept towards Locke like a tidal wave.

At that moment, many powerful spiritual connections in this space began to break, and pillars of fire erupted from the sky and earth everywhere.

The entire space seemed to have turned into a bowl of indistinguishable boiling soup.

Because the “Repulsion of All Things – Spiritual Touch” of many substances broke, particles could no longer remain independent, thus all becoming the most basic single elemental particles. This caused at least one layer of the surface space of this strange space to be cleaved away by the Balrog.

This is not a world like the Wizarding World, where the power of planes is incredibly stable.

This is just a small world, so the spiritual touch of this world is extremely easy to break.

The “Repulsion of All Things – Spiritual Touch” is the force that keeps all things independent. Once it breaks, it causes objects to merge together, resulting in the matter and space of the entire world mixing together, becoming a pot of hot soup of basic particles.

“Wizard!”

the Balrog, a star-ring-level Balrog, roared in Locke’s ear.

A pillar of fire appeared beneath Locke’s feet, destroying the “Repulsion of All Things – Spiritual Touch” of the stone pillar beside him, causing the pillar to instantly turn into a pot of hot particle soup.

This is the ultimate power of fire.

This is also the Balrog’s innate passive ability, “Hot Soup Hell,” one of the most notorious demons in the Abyss.

Wherever the Balrogs go, they turn the place into a scalding hell, where everything repels them and all spiritual connections sever. And as they rage, the area affected by these severances expands. These subtle connections may seem insignificant to the material world, but if they malfunction, they can revert the world to a state close to pre-creation.

It is precisely because the Balrogs are so terrifying that they are so infamous. One can only imagine the despair that lower civilizations would feel facing these horrific fire demons.

These beings, born with access to the essence of fire, utterly crush other civilizations, mocking their rudimentary understanding of fire. What special flames, what primordial fire—all are pale and powerless before this domain of fire created by severed spiritual connections.

Tristan Walden, the wizard, was in his temporary war department branch office in Quinjol on the fourth level of the Abyss, watching the events unfolding within the grotesque ring, a smile playing on his lips.

“Although the magic pressure is indeed 23,000, the Balrog’s passive ability, ‘Hot Soup Hell,’ is far more powerful in lower planes than in higher planes. So, in the Strange Plane, it’s an enhancement for the Balrog. But this knowledge is probably rather obscure. Wizards who aren’t specifically studying or interested in demon biology probably wouldn’t know this.”

“Knowledge is power.”

Wizard Tristan Walden picked up a cup of wizard tea from the table, took a sip, and smiled faintly. Although Locke was only a Star Ring Wizard, the first-ring magical plants he cultivated were indeed excellent. If he could purchase them in bulk at a low price, it would be a significant achievement for him.

“Hmm?”

Before Wizard Tristan Walden could even take a second sip of wizard tea, he noticed that the magical glow of the Strange Ring had changed from red to green, indicating that the Strange Ring had already been used once.

“No way. Mr. Augustine isn’t dead, is he? It’s only been half a minute.” “

Oh no.”

Wizard Tristan Walden’s expression changed drastically. “Could he be using his true form?”

Because he only wanted to scam Locke, he didn’t want to make enemies with Mount Golden Crown. According to his plan, even if the wizard wasn’t a match for the Balrog in this ring, it should at least hold out for more than a day.

Lower planes provide some enhancement to demons and wizards who use fire magic, but only the Balrog is enhanced most significantly.

But that’s impossible—

could something have gone wrong?

Wizard Tristan Walden immediately used the Bizarre Ring to observe the situation. The next moment, he saw a scene that made him breathe a sigh of relief, but immediately felt like a fishbone stuck in his throat.

The entire bizarre space was filled with green dragon vines. The mystical meaning of this ivy-like star-ringed magic plant was: infinite growth.

Therefore, with Locke’s magical aid, the green dragon vines grew rapidly, covering the entire strange space like a thick green carpet. Due to the vines’ own magical power, the Balrog’s passive nature prevented it from destroying its internal spiritual tendrils. This meant the Balrog wasn’t strengthened by this space; instead, it was sealed off, its power diminishing.

Simultaneously, the green dragon vines coiled around the Balrog.

The Balrog, a creature feared by any lower-level civilization and capable of destroying an entire civilization single-handedly, was now devoid of flames. Its body was icy cold; the flames had extinguished. The green dragon vines wrapped around its hands, countless suckers and tendrils binding it, transforming it into a dragon claw.

Star Ring Spell Model: Green Dragon’s Grip!

This spell model was learned by Locke through the shortcut opened by the Green Dragon Throne’s crown magic.

It perfectly utilizes all the abilities of the green dragon vines and perfectly harnesses the Azure Dragon’s spiritual energy.

Unlike the other Star Ring Magical Plants in his possession—the Pagoda Broccoli, Sky-Piercing Jujube, and Crimson Gold Peach—which lacked their own mystical meanings, and the Black Tortoise Bamboo, though cultivated by him, only capable of drawing Black Tortoise spiritual energy without any mystical significance, and the Great Ming Dragon Sparrow, the Green Dragon Vine, as a mature magical plant, possessed both the ability to draw special spiritual energy and mystical meaning.

When Locke used the Green Dragon Grip spell, the most suitable spell for it, its power far surpassed the combined power of all spells and magical plants he had previously used.

This was the power unleashed by the most powerful magical plant combined with the most powerful Star Ring spell. The powerful Green Dragon Vine already possessed the

limit

of Star Ring magic pressure, and even Locke, a wizard with lower magic pressure than the Green Dragon Vine, could perfectly control it instantly and double its power upon using the Green Dragon Grip.

The Balor Flame Demon was instantly killed by Locke.

“Crack~”

The Balrog’s body was crushed by the green dragon vines, leaving only its spine. Locke collected the Balrog’s spine, since it could be sold for money.

Then, he left the eerie space and returned to his dormitory.

Locke looked up at the wizard Tristan Walden and said, “Spatial science is truly amazing, capable of traversing wizarding lands and the world, allowing you to use a magical artifact to let me enter a specific space. Lord Tristan Walden, are you still keeping your promise to me?

I just recorded it with the True Sight Crystal.”

The wizard Tristan Walden realized what was happening. He looked at the scene in the space within the ring and shook his head slightly.

First, he used a magical plant to control that space, reducing the damage of fire magic to the space, thereby indirectly causing the power of the Balrog to decrease.

Then, using the mystical meaning of a magical plant, it grew infinitely, suppressing and killing the great demon within half a minute.

The wizard Tristan Walden nodded.

“Lock Augustine, you’re quite the junior. Fine, I rarely do business at a loss. I’ll sign this contract with you once. I’ll make a profit anyway. But this is our last collaboration.”

“Lock, kid, I’m not happy to work with you.”

Locke nodded, then quickly signed an online contract with him, and demanded to go to Quinjol immediately to sign a proper paper contract at Quinjol Academy.

Locke scanned the prices and quantities stipulated in the contract.

Wizard Walden complained, “Did you think I, as a Grand Wizard of the Moon Ring, would tamper with contracts like that?”

“Come on. The price is acceptable, but from a cost-performance perspective, it’s unacceptable to me,”

Locke said to Wizard Walden. “But if we spend a little more money to buy magical plant weapons that reduce casualties among Quinjol wizards, wouldn’t Quinjol still be the one who profits?”

Wizard Walden was stunned for a moment.

“That’s true. But the right thing to do is to balance price and quality.”

“When you go to Quinjol, I’ll have my student lend you thirty different kinds of demons.”

“Remember, these demons are valuable experimental materials captured in Quinjol. So you’ll need to return them to me. These demons are only for your use in cultivating the Great Blue-Leaf Dragon Sparrow magical plant, for targeted training. If one dies, you’ll have to pay compensation. Compensation will be based on a year’s salary for a wizard of the corresponding ring level.” “

If there are no problems, then that’s settled.”

Locke said, “I know, I’ve already seen these terms in the contract. I have no objections.”

Although this deal made Wizard Walden try to avoid cooperating with Locke in the future—after all, Locke wasn’t susceptible to his manipulation—he still congratulated Locke at this moment.

“Congratulations then. Young breeder, your work has earned Quinnjoll’s trust.”

“You’ve secured our order.”

“And you were able to kill a Balrog with 23,000 magic power in half a minute. Locke Augustine, your academic abilities have earned my approval. As a breeder and botanical wizard, you are indeed qualified to ask me for 400,000 per set of magical plants. You haven’t exaggerated yourself.” “

I thought you didn’t know about the Balrog’s innate abilities,”

Locke said. “I didn’t know at first. But recently, in some incident, I fought a fire mage, and I just came into contact with a lot of spiritual touch. So, the moment you mentioned the Balrog, I immediately realized that severing the spiritual touch of a lower-level world would be very easy, and the resulting chain reaction would amplify the power of fire magic.” “

However, I just checked some information and found that the magic of the Evocation school seems to have this tendency,”

the wizard Walden said briefly. “You’re quite cunning.”

“Not exactly.”

“Water and earth magic, which are evocation spells that don’t rely on destructive spiritual connections, have relatively weaker characteristics.”

“The same goes for wind and light magic.” “

That means lightning and fire magic have this characteristic, so be careful not to fight them in lower-level worlds. The Berserker Elemental City has special bonuses to lightning and fire, making it very difficult for us in Quinnjoll to fight here. This is my design requirement. Listen carefully. After all, I’ve already paid for it.”

Locke nodded.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before hanging up.

Locke calculated the gains from this deal. The cost was around 20 million magic stones, and if he and Arthas split the profits, he could earn about 30 million magic stones.

This would be enough to pay off most of his loans.

At the same time, it would also earn Aladdin some fame.

And he also had to consider potential future orders. The fact that

the other party agreed to buy a Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow set for 400,000 magic stones probably meant they valued him and could develop a Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow system specifically to counter the enemy’s characteristics and power system.

“I wonder how business is going at the Windbringer’s Holy Land; it seems lukewarm,”

Locke pondered. “I need more income, and the mine construction in the Three Cave Worlds can’t be completed overnight.”

“—Hmm? Teacher called me? Is it time to set off?”

A message came through the Water Hyacinth System.

Locke, before heading to the Rain Swamp, you need to make one last purchase of supplies. There are two things you absolutely must buy: one is the magical artifact [Happy Farm], essential for a mature second-ring breeder, and the other is information concerning the Top-Tier Meditation Technique. If you sign a contract with Golden Crown Mountain, I can give you half of the Top-Tier Meditation Technique right now and sign a two-hundred-year loan contract with you.

However, I also have information on traces of the Top-Tier Meditation Technique outside the academy. You can weigh that yourself

.
