Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 1052

Chapter 1037 You must be a great figure reincarnated from the Star Domain Sea!

Mayor Jack led Locke to the upper left corner of the town of Kalicara, where a cluster of tombs stood. Among a group of low, one-story houses was a massive tomb floating in mid-air.

Mayor Jack pointed to the tomb and said, “That’s a tomb built for Kalicara by his disciples and grand-disciples in later generations. Actually, there’s nothing inside. To avoid attracting the attention of the Death Mages, Kalicara’s true home is just a rotten grave mound erected with a wooden stele made of a single-ringed enchanted plant wood in the neighboring woods.”

“According to legend, and the numerous investigations of this town by archaeological wizards, we can be certain that he was penniless before his death. It’s laughable that the great scholar of Siming Waters, Wizarding Land, and the originator of necromancy, was so poor before his death. He only had two sets of clothes, some experimental materials, and a half-burnt candle. His last words to a stranger before he died were—’Tell all those in this world who worship me, who regard me as a god and omnipotent, please do not come looking for me.'”

Mayor Jack sighed, “This is the consequence of pursuing fame and fortune. Look at us, we hide in this town, becoming hermits in the wizarding world. When we were young, we all wanted to fight harder than anyone else, and we loved to compete more than anyone else. But before I entered this town, I was just a Star Ring Wizard. I only became a Moon Ring Wizard after entering this town.”

Mayor Jack put his hands behind his back and said, “Put down the disputes and be free. Young man, I think a smart person would like to live in seclusion here with us.”

Locke was stunned for a moment. “Mayor, did you become a Moon Ring Wizard after going into seclusion?”

Mayor Jack smiled proudly, “Yes. But before I entered this town, I was already at the peak of the Star Ring realm. I didn’t lack resources; I just needed to get my Great Magic to the pseudo-forging stage. I also didn’t use the top-level meditation technique, which I heard is a treasure that points directly to the Sun Ring. If I got that kind of thing, I’d never have a peaceful life. And you think you can go into seclusion? Those academies will definitely not let me go.”

“I persuaded these old buddies one by one, using my own example to convince them, and then we hid here together, living a peaceful life. Our efforts won the favor of a few high-ranking members of the association, so we got positions such as mayor and guardian. We used our work of guarding the town of Kalicara as our payment, in exchange for some experimental resources, and we continued our breeding work here.”

“However, these experiments aren’t driven by fame or fortune. We can conduct whatever experiments we want here, without being coerced by anyone or anything,”

Locke remarked. “The lives of our predecessors are truly carefree,”

Old Mayor Jack glanced at Locke and chuckled. “Young man, if you want to live like that, you can just stay here. No, wait. You’re a senior researcher at Mount Golden Crown, and a beloved disciple of Lord Red Dragon. The Five-Colored Dragon Throne has always been impatient for quick success. The five lords are eager to elevate Mount Golden Crown’s prestige, to surpass the Rose Council and even Boniface in academic authority.”

“It’s indeed difficult for you to retreat to our town,”

Locke asked. “Is breeding possible in this town?”

He deliberately changed the subject, because while he admired the wizards’ carefree attitude and wondered why Old Jack, after giving up competition outside and entering this town, had become a Moon Ring Wizard based on his past achievements, he himself had no interest in retreating here.

Moreover, the bodies of these wizards seem to have developed serious problems due to their long-term residence in the necromancer’s holy land, the town of Kalicara.

Old Jack proudly said, “Of course. Plants are always the most vibrant. Of course, most plants aren’t suitable for breeding here, but cultivating nocturnal magical plants is still appropriate. After all, this is Yunze Wetland, which has a good foundation.” “

For example, epiphyllum, evening primrose, night-blooming jasmine, and four o’clock flower are very suitable. There are also some magical plants that only bloom at night, such as feather-leafed night-blooming jasmine, dragon fruit (Hylocereus undatus), and green-clothed jasmine. These magical plants can also be cultivated. But in the end, after leaving that world of fame and fortune, we do these activities just for fun.

“Exploring the truth is our instinct, so even when we are in seclusion, we still do things that interest us.”

Old Mayor Jack led Locke to the true tombstone of the wizard Kalicara in the grove. There was no one paying respects at the tombstone. Unlike the dazzling array of sacrificial offerings placed at the mausoleum just fifty meters away, no one came to mourn at the true tombstone that the wizard Kalicara had made for himself.

Locke saw that the grove was full of green night-blooming cereus, which looked like a dream, seemingly real yet unreal.

Mayor Jack smiled and said, “The area within the town is limited, so I planted some cactus-like magical plants, the Green Glass Night-blooming Cereus, next to the graves in the town of Calicara.”

Locke glanced at the Green Glass Night-blooming Cereus and found that there were actually more than a dozen subspecies. Obviously, this magical plant, which he had never heard of before, was cultivated by this Moon Ring Wizard.

Among these epiphyllum flowers were both star-ring magical plants and ordinary second-ring magical plants.

Most were ordinary second-ring magical plants.

However, a few star-ring epiphyllum flowers possessed mystical significance; there were at least twenty of these with mystical meanings.

This was an incredibly exaggerated concept.

Even magical fields couldn’t possibly cultivate such a high density of high-ring magical plants. Locke mentally calculated that without a powerful energy source, theoretically, this many magical plants would require at least tens of thousands of acres of proper magical fields.

Yet, the planting density of the magical plants before him was simply astounding.

Locke directly voiced his suspicions and addressed the old mayor by his nickname, Old Man Jack.

“Old Jack, how did you manage to grow so many high-level magical plants in such a small area? There are even more than twenty Green Glass Epiphyllum flowers with mystical significance in this forest. Can you tell me the secret?” Old Mayor

Jack walked to the tombstone, his palm stroking it. Then, he planted a Green Glass Epiphyllum flower on the tombstone. Epiphyllum flowers are epiphytes, meaning they rely on aerial roots to attach themselves to other trees and magical plants to obtain powerful magical energy.

Mayor Jack said, “This is the magical power of plants. The tombstones in this town possess immense power. The forms left behind by their owners, along with the necromancers’ obsession with this place, cause these forms to continuously converge. This is the tomb of the Origin Wizard; even though he is dead and his essence has departed, the forms of the entire world still flow here. And the Layered Flower magical plants naturally grow on trees; I simply replaced the trees with tombstones.

” He continued, “As for the mystical meaning, the mystical meaning of the Star Ring Green Glazed Epiphyllum is ‘moment.'”

“This is just a bit of a pastime I enjoy. I just felt that using ‘moment’ as the mystical meaning of a magical plant was a way for me to express my respect for Mr. Kalicara. And my Moon Ring magical plant is a representative species among Epiphyllum magical plants. The Epiphyllum I cultivate in this direction is not only a representative species, but also one of the top ten superior representative species.”

“Where there is a representative species, other similar magical plants will naturally grow better.”

Mayor Jack plucked a graceful, elegant green night-blooming cereus from a nearby tree and placed it in front of the wooden monument.

“Alright, that concludes the story of this town. It’s a secluded town, so hidden that most wizards can’t even find it, which is why they can live in seclusion.”

Mayor Jack looked at Locke and said, “Locke, I don’t like owing favors, and neither do any of us. We were able to live in seclusion here thanks to the great help of Lady Red Dragon, and we want to repay her.”

“But with our meager abilities, it’s really difficult to repay her, so I want to give you something.”

Locke thought of the Star Ring resources he had received earlier.

“Old Man Jack, you don’t mean to give me those Star Ring resources, do you?”

Locke’s heart skipped a beat. After all, his spiritual energy cultivation had recently advanced by leaps and bounds, and he had also acquired a large number of high-level magical plants, even obtaining the Happy Farm privileges. He had gained a lot of knowledge and made remarkable progress, but his magical pressure was still very low, and he still owed a huge debt of ninety million magic stones.

The only advantage is that most of the debt is owed to Red Dragon Bank, meaning it’s money owed to his teacher’s businesses.

Therefore, he doesn’t need to worry about Red Dragon Bank playing any dirty tricks on him.

However, his current situation is still very dangerous. With such high debt, if he continues to pursue progress, a failed project could lead to a broken cash flow and bankruptcy.

So, if someone offers him Star Ring resources, he really needs them right now.

But then, Jack’s father looked at him with a strange expression.

“Star Ring resources? You’re overthinking it, Locke.”

“That’s only for your teacher. She’s a Throne Wizard; you’d give her a gift of at least that caliber. But you’re not.”

“I just want to give you some spell models we’ve developed ourselves in this town over the years,”

Old Man Jack said. “Do you want them? If not, that’s fine. Besides, even if we teach you, you can’t tell anyone about our existence.”

Locke said, “Of course I want to learn your spell models.”

Mayor Jack and the other wizards immediately smiled. If Locke refused, he would offend them.

For these hermits who wanted to repay a debt of gratitude, accepting their gifts was far more likely to earn their favor than refusing.

Mayor Jack gave Locke two spellbooks.

“These are two botanical spell models I’ve casually researched over the years. I’m primarily a breeder, and only secondarily a botanical wizard, so they might not be very well developed. Just use them as is. I’m also a wizard from Mount Golden Crown, so the botanical spells I’ve researched should be easy for you to learn and perfectly suited for use.”

Locke looked at the names on the two spellbooks—[Dragon Vine Tail Spell] and [Wolf Fang Wall Spell].

The Dragon Vine Tail Spell requires at least one vine-type magical plant and can enhance the impact of a vine-type magical plant when whipping an enemy. It’s a star ring spell, and theoretically, when combined with a star ring magical plant, it even has the potential to split a small world in two.

The Wolf Fang Wall Spell, on the other hand, requires a potato-type magical plant to use.

Locke didn’t look at the Wolf Fang Wall Spell first, but quickly read the Dragon Vine Tail Spell, a spell model created by a moon ring wizard during sixty years of seclusion.

Locke noticed that the spellbook had been revised many times.

“Yes, he’s lost his ambition. Of course, he can spend sixty years modifying a spell model. If a wizard wants to use this spell model to pursue truth, it’s obviously counterproductive. But if it’s for fighting and self-defense, this modified spell model is actually quite suitable. It’s just that the structure of this spell model is somewhat complex and redundant.”

Locke discovered that because the other party had modified it for sixty years, this spell model had gained a bunch of functions, which complemented each other, multiplying its power. The only downside was that the spell’s activation time was slower.

Old Mayor Jack held a slender, yellow vine in his hand. Locke recognized it as the Star Ring Magic Plant, the Xuanhuang Qi Vine. This was a nocturnal magic plant, hence its slender roots and stems. Its defining characteristic was that most of the vine’s leaves and

stems could briefly vaporize, while the main body and roots could not.

This was a Qi Vine magic plant.

Locke quickly searched for information. After all, when traveling, it was too difficult to rely solely on memory to acquire extensive knowledge, but skillfully using information-finding tools could compensate for this.

I was right. The Xuanhuang Qi Vine is the original version of the Moon Ring Magic Plant: Xuanqing Qi Vine. It was cultivated into Xuanqing Qi Vine by a third-ring wizard from Boniface University when he was young. Xuanqing Qi Vine is the dominant species among Qi Vine Magic Plants and is currently ranked first.

This Azure Vine seems to be firmly controlled by the team under the third-ring wizard at Boniface University. “

Because the number of representative and model species is limited,

it’s easy for certain research groups to occupy a specific spot.

It’s no wonder they’re a Moon Ring wizard; the magical plants they use are either dominant representative species or their precursors—all extremely excellent magical plants.”

Mayor Jack laughed, “Watch closely, this is my Dragon Vine Tail Spell.”

He chanted three incantations, and instantly the Azure Vine in his hand grew wildly. Then, the vine twisted and rapidly extended, its branches and leaves seemingly real yet ethereal, transforming into a dragon tail that attacked forward. In the blink of an eye, a huge rock in the forest was shattered into pieces by a single whip, and the stones rolled down.

Mayor Jack said, “This is the Dragon Vine Tail Spell.”

“You can try it too.”

“With your level, learning this already constructed spell should be quick.”

Locke nodded, summoning his Green Dragon Vine from Happy Farm.

Mayor Jack’s eyes lit up slightly.

“This is a Virginia creeper-type magical plant, isn’t it? This looks like a Green Dragon Vine. I remember it’s extremely rare, a one-of-a-kind item. Young man, it seems you have quite a few resources at your disposal.” “

Quickly, show me the Dragon Vine Tail Spell.”

Locke nodded, chanting the incantation. The next moment, the Green Dragon Vine in his hand grew wildly. As a Virginia creeper-type magical plant, the Green Dragon Vine possessed an [Infinite Growth Mechanism], meaning its growth points at each apex would never disappear, allowing it to grow indefinitely. Its mystical meaning was [Infinite Growth].

The next moment, many side vines sprouted from the main stem of the Green Dragon Vine.

As a result, in an instant, dozens of vines swept towards the open space in front of them like dragon tails.

Each strike tore through the air.

Each swing pushed the air to create an air wall, striking towards the sky.

This was no longer just like a single dragon tail swinging; it was like a group of dragon tails dancing wildly.

Mayor Jack nodded and said, “So that’s the mystical meaning of the Green Dragon Vine. The same spell model has different effects when used with magical plants that have different mystical meanings. You see, the power and effect of my Xuanhuang Qi Vine is not as good as the power of your Dragon Vine Tail Curse using the Green Dragon Vine. Your Green Dragon Vine is more suitable for my Dragon Vine Tail Curse.”

“That’s not quite right. I’m just praising my own wares. Actually, the mystical meaning of your Green Dragon Vine is quite good, so no matter what spell model you use, it can probably turn the rotten into the magical.”

Locke asked, “Old Jack, why do you say that the mystical meaning of my Green Dragon Vine is quite good?”

Mayor Jack said, “You haven’t cultivated high-ring magical plants much, so it’s normal that you don’t know this. Or rather, it’s a feeling. The mystical meaning of most star-ring magical plants can only be said to be dispensable.”

“Like the mystical meaning of your Green Dragon Vine is—”

Locke said, “Infinite growth.”

Mayor Jack’s eyes lit up.

“That’s practically the highest level of mystical meaning among Star Ring Magic Plants. This level of mystical meaning—it seems the cost of propagating and breeding your magic plant is extremely high. It might require some hard-to-find magical resources. Even if you don’t tell me the specific magical resources needed, I know the requirements must be outrageous. Let me think… based on my years of breeding experience—and note, I haven’t used the Spirit Mushroom Magic Plant to look up information.”

“I think it might require True Phoenix Egg Fluid.”

Locke paused, taken aback.

“Eggshell fragments, no, Old Man Jack guessed the right direction.”

Mayor Jack nodded.

“Only eggshell fragments? That means you definitely need something else that’s extremely difficult to find.”

Mayor Jack laughed. “Anyway, these two spellbooks are for you. I hope you can make good use of them. We’ve finished our introductions, so let’s stop here for today. In this town, just recite this incantation, and I will immediately appear beside you.”

He handed Locke an incantation.

After Locke greeted him, Mayor Jack left with the hermit wizards.

Locke turned to look at the wooden tombstone of the wizard Kalicara. “Truly astonishing. So this is where it all began. I wonder if this wizard lived before the Age of Stars. He must have, otherwise there wouldn’t have been so many liches in that era. And King Otto wouldn’t have needed to fight the lich kings.”

“As for the hermits in this town, they’ve left the mainstream of wizarding society, and in this secluded place, they’re even conducting breeding experiments.”

Just as Locke turned to leave, a hand holding a bunch of withered grass suddenly appeared before Kalicara’s tombstone.

Locke immediately saw a wizard whose head was shrouded in a black hood.

Locke once again felt that strange sensation he had encountered at the bottom of the Frost River, the feeling that his magic was being gradually drained away. But for some reason, this time the feeling was much milder, even though this being seemed far more powerful than the one he had encountered at the bottom of the Frost River.

Locke asked, “Should I call you the Lich God, or Mr. Kalicara?”

The being, with his back to Locke, chuckled softly.

“Kalikara has long since departed, and the Lich God has not yet descended. You can call me a Form,”

Locke shook his head.

“Stop flattering yourself. Wind, fire, thunder, lightning—everything in the world, this stone, this land, all have forms.

You are merely one of the forms, and a bad one at that. You cannot be called a Form.”

“You seem to know me. But you said last time that each Lich God’s current Form is independent and doesn’t know each other.”

“And what are you doing here?”

the being in the black wizard’s robe said, “I’m not deceiving you, but the Forms of the Lich God can also communicate with each other. In this age of great strife, no one can escape competition. You living beings compete, the undead compete, and we, the Forms of the Lich God, compete. Forms without physical bodies easily fight. We’ve all developed different beliefs because of our contact with different wizards; our beliefs conflict with each other, and we’re a disorganized mess.”

“Therefore, we need outstanding geniuses like you, and wizards who will triumph along the Tianjiang River. Locke, how did you guess my relationship with Kalicara?”

Locke said, “It was just a guess, so I tried it out, but you didn’t deny it. However, I can’t be sure if you’re just trying to glorify yourself. So, whatever happened in history, despite Kalicara taking many precautions during his lifetime, he still left behind a lich god after his death.”

The figure in black wizard robes said, “Perhaps, perhaps not. But those black wizards and necromancers, and some white wizards, do indeed want to call me by that name. Locke Augustine, let’s cooperate. I can give you talent, make you successful, make you invincible. I can tell you everything in this world. Anything that people have ever thought of. Actually, it’s not me who came to find you; on the contrary, you are looking for me.” “

Join us.”

“According to my intelligence, your next opponent is Sera. As long as you are with me, I can help you crush that foolish Southern Wizard Capital man.” Along

the Tianjiang River, in Crocodile Bay, in a shallow bay teeming with crocodiles, the beach was covered with various magical crocodile creatures basking in the sun.

Sera, from the Southern Wizard Capital, saw a wizard in black robes, his face completely obscured by shadow, speaking to him.

“Join us, Sera, I have high hopes for you. I want to choose you to be the king who will conquer everything along the Tianjiang River.”

“I am choosing my own king.”

“Me? I am the master of the undead, the soon-to-descend lich god.”

“Sera, you are the only king I have chosen. Whoever your next opponent is, they will suffer a long-awaited crushing defeat before you. Now I will show you my power. What are the few forms you absorbed before? You can barely use their ultimate magic; your special talent in necromancy can only allow you to do so much.

Submit to me, and I will make you the complete master of forms—I will give you the talent to crush everyone.”

In the town of Kalicara in the Cloud Marsh Wetlands.

Locke raised an eyebrow. “This is the second time you’ve invited me. Do you invite every wizard you encounter?”

The figure in black robes replied, “Of course not.”

“The forms of the weak will be plundered by me, ultimately offered to the Lich God for his descent.”

“And you are the king I have chosen.”

Locke said, “I heard from my teacher that the undead cannot fake forge.”

The figure in black robes let out a mocking laugh, then said, “Locke Augustine, you are deceived by your own illusions. Is it possible that I have experienced all four forgings, without falsehood, let alone the third ring, even the fourth ring? I once personally walked to that high mountain, but I felt it was unnecessary, so I returned on my own.”

“I’ve climbed to the mountaintop and then returned to the mountainside. The four forgings, without falsehood or falsehood, are the foundation of the second ring. Completing these four forgings is related to the third and fourth rings. But whether it’s possible or not is unnecessary speculation. In ancient times, a wizard who became a first-ring wizard could be considered human. But now, due to advancements in magical technology, some wizards, even if they become first-ring wizards, cannot be considered truly human.” “

But once a second-ring wizard becomes one, that wizard harbors a latent desire to change the world. Even if not the entire world, at least a small corner of it. In my view, becoming a second-ring wizard is enough. Of course, the Lich God is not in the second ring; we chose the Void Ring.”

“Once you enter the Void Ring, you can endlessly pursue power and knowledge, so what’s the point of advancing through the rings?”

“After reaching the summit, I felt utterly bored. Human energy is finite, life is finite, why use finite things to pursue infinite truth? Therefore, I returned, I returned to the people, and I brought necromancy to them.”

Locke fell silent, pondering the other’s words.

So, can high-ring wizards, for some reason, whether forced or voluntary, lose their rings?

Locke said, “My goal is truth. I will not stop at mere pseudo-forging.”

“You’ve chosen the wrong person. You can go find someone else to bewitch.”

The spirit before the tombstone let out a dismissive, mocking laugh.

“It’s alright. The undead can’t fake forge, so I need a representative who’s at least fake forged. Therefore, you’re still someone I want to recruit. Join us, Locke Augustine, and I will bring a new order and a new direction to the wizarding world. I will bring our civilization back to unreal forging.” “

This is the most suitable path in my opinion.” “

Judging from your expression, you still want to refuse. That’s alright, then let’s make a deal. You seem to be going to investigate the Valley of Despair Laboratory. I happen to know a little secret about the wizard Probus back then, don’t be surprised. Many people in this world are different from you; they all beg to join me. They provide me with information, so I know everything and can do everything.”

Locke mocked him, “Undead, then why don’t you go after them instead of bothering me?”

The undead said, “They’re all useless fellows. I can plunder their forms at will, so it’s useless for me to have them join. If you join me, you’ll gain the power to plunder everything from them at will.” “

Form is definitely more important than substance. I know that.”

“It’s just that many stubborn high-ring wizards don’t agree.”

“But the moment the Lich God descended upon this era, everything changed.”

“Locke, I want to make a deal with you. You help me cut down one of the two crooked trees at the entrance to that town, and I’ll tell you information crucial to the truth of what happened back then. What do you think of this deal? It doesn’t go against your wishes. And what you have to do is very simple.”

Locke said, “I refuse. The crooked tree at the town entrance is clearly a sealing tree.”

“Besides, I’m not strong enough. Even if I wanted to help you, I couldn’t. If you have nothing more to say, I’ll be leaving. It seems Kalicara Town is your territory. I wonder how many people you’ve revealed yourself to.”

“No wonder this is a holy land for those necromancers.”

The figure in the black robe chuckled softly.

“You’ve misunderstood me. I disdain most forms of wizards and mortals. What I want is you, Locke Augustine’s form. I want talent like you, talent who has passed my assessment and tests, to join our side.” “

Therefore, I’ve only appeared before you.” “

Then let me do you another favor. You just need to guarantee you win the second round along the Tianjiang River. I’ve received information that one of your opponents is a wizard named Sera from the Southern Wizarding Capital, who studies necromancy. This kind of person even boasts of having free will, hahaha, the more he uses necromancy, the more his form is plundered by me, becoming merely my puppet.”

“I want you to defeat him.”

Locke frowned, looking at the bewitching form of the lich god, then turned to leave the forest.

The reason he had no intention of fighting was simple: it

was pointless.

This was most likely the opponent’s territory, but judging from their furtive behavior, they probably didn’t want to be discovered by Old Man Jack and the others.

Locke turned and left. “Boring.”

“I have no reason to make a deal with someone as worthless as you, who isn’t even a dead person.”

“Everything along the Tianjiang River has nothing to do with you, but for some reason, you feel as if it does, as if you’re influencing everything. I only see something insignificant.

“

The figure in the black robe laughed.

“Locke Augustine, it seems you’ve accepted the deal. I’ll tell you the name: the Death God Selection Society.”

“Probus participated in the Death God Selection Society.”

“This should be very helpful in restoring order to that laboratory.”

“I’ll also give you two questions. What kind of forging is the Eastern Boundary Investment Bank in? And what kind of forging is the Black Sun Tower?”

“Locke, once you know what I’ve seen, I believe you’ll change your mind.”

Locke refused directly.

“I don’t want to get involved with you.”

Meanwhile, along the Tianjiang River, in the Crocodile Bay of Waves.

Wizard Sera looked at the mysterious wizard who had suddenly appeared before her with suspicion.

“Are you sure you only chose me?”

the wizard asked. “Of course. Because you are special, Sera. If you can eliminate all your opponents in the second round, in exchange, I will give you an even stronger opponent. I will choose you as my king.”

In the town of Kalicara in the Cloud Marsh Wetlands, the witch Catherine, accompanied by a male wizard whose magical aura resembled a moon ring or a star ring, arrived at one of her properties in Kalicara.

Locke opened the door for them, and a whiff of dust hit them.

Locke was surprised that the witch Catherine actually owned a house here.

The Moon Ring wizard frowned and said to Locke, “You’re too young, kid. Are you even thirty? Have

you been weaned yet?”

“As the saying goes, ‘A young man with no experience is unreliable.’ Your Majesty, this kind of young man’s abilities are simply insufficient to meet my requirements. I hope Your Majesty can bring in some high-level potion masters from outside to help me complete my potions.”

The witch Catherine raised an eyebrow, remaining silent but signaling to Locke with her eyes to resolve this trust issue from the Moon Ring wizard himself.

Locke

said to the Moon Ring wizard, “My lord, I’ve already heard your request from my teacher. I studied potion-making with another Throne-level potion master for a while. Although my potion-making skills aren’t top-notch, I’m at least somewhat confident. In any case, please let me see your formula and experimental data.”

“I want to determine what stage you’re currently at,”

the Moon Ring wizard immediately sneered.

“With your experience and qualifications, I won’t show you my experimental data.”

“Because you definitely can’t possibly figure anything out for me.”

“Kid, don’t take on a job you’re not qualified for.”

“We are all your mentors—you—”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a voice came from outside.

“Excuse me, is anyone home?”

the Moon Ring Wizard asked the Witch Catherine. “My lady, I don’t have many friends in this town. They’re probably here to see you. A third of the wizards in this town owe you favors. You have a lot of influence here, so I guess someone’s come to offer you a gift.”

The Witch Catherine said, “Locke, go and see. Some people in this town are here to repay favors, and some are here to offer me gifts, seeking special treatment.”

Locke nodded, then walked to the door and said, “Someone’s here. But my teacher, the Witch Catherine, is currently busy and doesn’t want to be disturbed. Please, sir, leave.”

Outside the door, the man was silent for a moment, then continued knocking and said, “I’m not here for the Red Dragon Throne.”

“I’m a dedicated deliveryman for Reincarnation Logistics.”

“Are you Mr. Locke Augustine? This is a shipment from the Starfield Sea. A very important person wants to send you something.”

Locke raised an eyebrow in surprise, then opened the door. Sure enough, the person outside wasn’t the wizard residing in the town of Kalicara, but a deliveryman from Reincarnation Logistics—though not the same one as before.

The deliveryman placed a magic box in Locke’s hand.

“Hello, it’s arrived. May I sign for it?”

The Moon Ring wizard inside the house was surprised. “

Looking for that kid?”

“Reincarnation Logistics?”

Isn’t that the logistics company from the Starfield Sea that only delivers to important figures? How old is this kid? How many connections could he have? Why would he need this level of logistics?

A thought struck him.

Could it be that this kid—no, this potion master—can really help me complete the development of my potion formula? Good heavens.

Locke accepted the magic box, signed the papers, and then couldn’t help but ask the deliveryman. “Hello, I’d like to ask you if this shipment was delivered by the Witch Sophia.”

“Teacher, what exactly do you mean?”

The dedicated delivery person said, “This—I cannot disclose the customer’s information. Even in the Starfield Sea, if anyone asks us, we will not reveal the sender’s or recipient’s information. I can only tell you that Reincarnation Logistics can deliver to any era, any location, and to anyone.”

“Thank you for using our service. I have delivered the item. Farewell.”

The delivery person opened a portal and then left.

Locke muttered to himself. “Any era?”

The Witch Catherine said, “I’ve only heard of it. It’s said that there are some kind of time portals in this world that allow wizards to enter other eras. But I don’t know if it’s true. Of course, even if it exists, it should be controlled by the leading wizards. After all, such things are inaccessible to most wizarding academies, unless they are truly among the top academies in the wizarding world.”

Locke nodded. “I see.”

“But if Reincarnation Logistics says so, it likely means that such a time portal truly exists.”

The witch Catherine laughed, “Locke, it seems your influence sometimes surpasses mine.”

Locke said, “Teacher, please don’t joke with me.”

“How can I compare to your influence?”

“It’s just that someone happened to send me something from the Star Sea. Teacher, your influence can command half the wizards in this town; that’s real influence.”

He turned around, stunned, for he saw the Moon Ring Wizard holding a stack of documents in his hands, his head bowed, his face full of longing.

“Mr. Augustine, it seems you must be an excellent potion master. I misjudged you before. You must be a great figure, perhaps a great figure reincarnated from the Star Sea. I was truly blind.”

“I would be grateful if you could help me complete this work.”

Ekaterina smiled at Locke and winked.

Locke immediately understood that this woman had misunderstood his status.

He really was unpredictable.

Locke said, “Don’t get agitated.

“
