Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 1054

Chapter 1039 Ah, so it was Grandmaster!

At the entrance of the town of Kalicara, right at the crossroads of this secluded wizarding town, a carriage was speeding along the dirt road. The magical carriage had barely passed the two crooked trees before continuing its journey without even stopping.

A Dark Wizard with a magic power of 20,000, amidst maniacal laughter, addressed the ordinary first-ring wizard driving the carriage: “Faster, faster! That Locke Augustine wants to buy up all the Lapis Lazuli Spirit Jewels in the town, and I’ll make sure he doesn’t get his way. I’ve already bought up all the Lapis Lazuli Spirit Jewels in the village. Hahahaha—”

“Whatever he wants is none of my business. Seeing the sadness and disappointment on the faces of these mammals is enough to satisfy me.”

“Hahahaha—why did it take me three hundred years to become a Dark Wizard, while that human became one before even turning thirty? The tallest tree in the forest catches the most wind—”

“Let’s hurry! Once we get out of this town, let’s see where he finds me.”

The magic carriage was about to leave when, in that instant, a second-ringed Sea Gold Sand, gleaming with golden light, descended from the sky. This Sea Gold Sand was the one Locke was experimenting with, using the Moon Cultivation Method to obtain special spiritual energy from the Rose Throne. Although it hadn’t succeeded yet, it was already significantly more powerful than ordinary second-ringed Sea Gold Sand.

Locke called it [Flash Second-Ringed Sea Gold Sand].

As the Flash Sea Gold Sand spear pierced the earth, the magical tidal storm it triggered overturned the magic carriage. The first-ringed wizard driving it rolled on the ground, and seeing the danger, immediately chanted a spell, summoning the first-ringed magical creature pulling the carriage back into his magical artifact, the [Book of Summoning]. Then, without looking back, he turned and ran.

After all, the dark wizard had only paid him for the ride, not for his safety.

The Dark Wizard of the Star Rings crawled out of the overturned carriage. He was clearly neither human nor half-dragon; his face had reptilian features, his eyes were bloodshot, his skin was bluish, and he had some blue blood characteristic of reptiles.

Locke, with his hands behind his back, said, “This wizard, you and I are complete strangers. You’ve bought up all the Lapis Lazuli Spirits in the town of Kalicara. You’ve put me in a difficult position. I won’t make things difficult for you. I’ve stopped you only to trade with you for the Lapis Lazuli Spirits you possess; I need to brew a potion.”

“If you’re willing, I can pay you one million magic stones.”

The Dark Wizard of the Star Rings sneered.

“Don’t even think about it. It’s a great honor for us, the Fang of Terror, to see you mammals so heartbroken. Besides, I heard you’re going to investigate some Valley of Despair. Heh, sorry, that place already belongs to us, the Fang of Terror.”

He opened his mouth, revealing two rows of sharp teeth.

Locke thought for a moment and quickly recalled the largest member of the Dark Wizarding Alliance in the Rainswamp, which seemed to be the Fang of Terror.

He had read about it before; the Rainswamp had extensive experience in bloodline research and had been conducting bloodline modifications for many years. However, a third-ring Throne Wizard there seemed to want to create a new race for the wizarding world, so he conducted numerous illegal experiments that had not been approved by the ethics review committee, performing extensive human modifications. These victims eventually went out of control, and the Throne Wizard was investigated. As a result, these out-of-control victims formed an organization called the Fang of Terror on the spot.

Because the throne wizard used a bloodline modification called the [Reptile Overlord Factor], the next generation of these modified individuals will perfectly inherit this factor and combine it with human bloodline essence to generate different powers.

Furthermore, if they implant special bloodlines into their bodies, these bloodlines can also combine with the [Reptile Overlord Factor]

to generate special powers.

These dark wizards are different from those in other regions. If dark wizards in other regions seek personal gain, then these dark wizards’ motto is—[Make mammals miserable.]

Locke now understands why this wizard insists on being his enemy in the town of Kalicara. It turns out that it’s because he and his teacher are about to go to the Rain Swamp, which has naturally caused trouble there.

This Star Ring Wizard took off his wizard’s robe, revealing a pair of claws resembling those of a pterosaur. At the same time, wind swirled around him, and the iconic wings of the [Ancient Creature – Quetzalcoatl] sprouted from his back.

Locke raised an eyebrow.

So he’s a wind magic wizard from the Evocation School.

The wizards of the “Fangs of Terror” were illegally modified by the throne wizard using bloodline technology. Of course, the throne wizard also had to pay the price and is currently imprisoned.

But this special race seems to have their own research directions.

The Star Ring Wizard sneered, and countless winds swirled around his palms, forming rings of wind that coiled around his hands.

“So-called wind magic—is the power of wind element combined with the balance of spiritual touch. In the eyes of us Evocation wizards, everything in this world possesses a hidden power, which is spiritual touch.”

“The law of spiritual touch imbalance, according to the definition of the Evocation wizard [Berlinu Leonhard], states that all things possess spiritual touches of varying strengths and weaknesses, and certain types of spiritual touches always attempt to cancel each other out, creating balance. To achieve balance, unbalanced spiritual touches create a flow of energy between them, and this flow is wind.” “

Therefore, the rebalancing of spiritual touches is one of the core elements of wind magic.”

“Lock Augustine, how dare you, a lowly mammal, challenge a higher reptile like myself?”

the Astral Ring wizard said. “Watch me tear you apart with Free Migration—Spiritual Touch.”

At the Astral Ring stage, all the secondary disciplines of Evocation begin to delve into the study of spiritual touch, but each branch of Evocation treats spiritual touch differently, leading to different directions of research based on these different treatments.

Fire magic studies the rupture of spiritual tendrils, lightning magic studies the separation of spiritual tendrils, and wind magic is the rebalancing of spiritual tendrils.

Each secondary discipline within the school of sculpting seems to focus on a primary, powerful spiritual tendril as its foundation.

Locke quickly researched this so-called Free Migration Spiritual Tendency, which appears to be an inherent, free-migrating force within all things. From a microscopic perspective, within a single object, many tiny substances are constantly moving.

The strength of this movement, and the degree of freedom of movement, seems to determine, in the eyes of wind magic wizards, the ability to create more powerful wind magic.

Clearly, this member of the [Terrifying Fangs] organization, a member of the Star Ring Black Wizard group, possessed a wind god pterosaur that made it easier for him to capture Free Migration Spiritual Tendencies.

At this moment, storms capable of tearing the world apart appeared in his hands.

Locke faced these terrifying storms, the rapid winds hitting his face, yet his expression remained unchanged.

“I’ll ask you one more time, are you going to do this deal or not?”

The Star Ring Wizard sneered, then said, “I’m not doing it!”

In that instant, a green dragon vine appeared in Locke’s hand. This vine was blessed by the acre of farmland from Happy Farm, and behind Locke appeared a full moon and a golden tree. The Moon Cultivation Method + Subtraction Replication appeared on this magical plant.

Locke then chanted the spell—Dragon Vine Tail Spell.

In an instant, over two hundred side vines grew from this green dragon vine, countless vines lashing out like dragon tails, each strike seemingly capable of causing the heavens and earth to shatter. The Star Ring Wizard hadn’t expected Locke to take the initiative.

He hurriedly threw out storms that wrapped around his arms.

Each storm perfectly countered the strike of a side vine of the green dragon vine.

However, the speed of Locke’s green dragon vine’s attacks was even faster than his wind magic.

For the first hundred or so attacks, he could still create storms to deal with them, but after the last fifty strikes, he slowly couldn’t keep up.

He quickly discovered that Locke’s green dragon vines were frantically absorbing the surrounding energy to maintain their “infinite growth,” and had actually rebalanced the surrounding spiritual energy. In other words, the frantic absorption of energy by Locke’s magical plant had, in effect, reduced the scale of the storms he could create.

“How can someone who has just become a Star Ring Wizard be so powerful?”

The Star Ring Dark Wizard cried out in despair. The next moment, a green dragon vine, like a dragon’s tail, struck him, sending him flying. Then, more than fifty green dragon vines struck him, shattering his permanent defensive force field and attacking him directly.

The Star Ring Dark Wizard was under continuous attack, screaming in agony. His cries could be heard throughout the entire town of Kalicara.

After Locke’s dragon vine tail spell finally stopped, the Dark Wizard’s face was swollen and unrecognizable. He chanted a spell, trying to mobilize the little wind magic he had left. At that moment, a storm swirled around his body.

The dark wizard was clearly panicked, because the star ring spell model: Eye of the Storm, was a wind magic used for both defense and escape.

He created a tornado, enveloping himself, then immediately activated the ancient biological factor of the wind god pterosaur within him, strengthening his two wings. He then immediately flew into the sky, preparing to make a quick getaway.

This was also why he dared to provoke Locke here.

As a wind magic wizard possessing the ancient factor of the wind god pterosaur, his combat power paled in comparison to his escape ability.

With this ability, he went around causing trouble, knowing that no one could do anything to him since they couldn’t catch him.

But the next moment, the green dragon vine on Locke’s right hand suddenly extended, all the tendrils and suckers converging together, stretching out like a green dragon’s claw, grabbing his opponent.

The entire storm was directly crushed by this green dragon claw.

And the dark wizard, like a pterosaur, was caught in mid-air by his own green dragon claw.

A flicker of fear crossed the dark wizard’s eyes. In his haste to escape, Locke had activated his Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline to amplify his magic and use his innate magical eye to track Locke’s movements. The

terrifying pressure of that bloodline, so powerful yet from a higher level of ancient creature, caused the dark wizard’s face to change drastically, throwing him into disarray.

Locke looked at him and said, “I wasn’t planning on causing trouble in the town of Kalicara today.”

“But you insisted on provoking me.”

The dark wizard hadn’t expected Locke to catch him.

He had almost escaped, but Locke’s speed and ruthlessness, combined with the powerful lock-on ability of his innate magical eye and the Green Dragon Grip and Green Dragon Vines, made Locke far stronger than an ordinary Star Ring wizard without the legacy of a powerful wizarding academy.

This allowed Locke to seize him.

“Good—powerful bloodline.”

The black wizard said to Locke, “Wait, please wait a moment. I suddenly want to make a deal. Let’s continue our previous transaction.

Give me one million magic stones, and I’ll give you the Lapis Lazuli Spirit Mark. I still have the entire mark. Wait a minute—”

Locke manipulated the green dragon vines and suddenly clenched them tightly, completely shattering the permanent defensive force field shell on his body. As the permanent defensive force field shell shattered, a storm spread in all directions.

The black wizard spat out a mouthful of blood.

“No, what are you doing?”

Locke looked at the town of Calicara and said, “A promise is a promise. That’s the principle of my work as a Beholder Wizard. Everyone here today, and you black wizards value face above all else. But you, wizard, are not one to do things twice.

Out of respect, I offered you two fair deals, both of which you refused.

Now you want to trade with me?”

“Too late.”

“Whoever comes today, I’ll kill without hesitation.”

A look of terror appeared on the black wizard’s face. He wasn’t very good at fighting, or rather, head-on combat, because he usually relied on his Wind God Wyvern bloodline and wind magic to ambush and harass others. He just hadn’t expected to be captured by the Beholder Wizard, who possessed a natural magic eye, a high-level Star Ring Magic Plant, and a powerful botanical spell model.

The dark wizard exclaimed in horror, “You wouldn’t kill me for something worth at most five million magic stones, just for a Spirit Mark, would you?”

“Didn’t you white wizards say you were going to transfer us to court?”

“Wait a minute—”

“I know many secrets of the Terror Fangs. They’ve now made the outskirts of Despair Valley Laboratory their base. I can give you a map. No, I can guide you. Why should we wizards fight each other? Wait a moment.”

The next moment, the green dragon vines exerted force, killing him completely.

In the entire town of Kalicara, almost all the wizards turned their gazes towards him. Many seemed unable to believe that Locke dared to make a move right at the town’s gate.

Yes, the unspoken rule against v*olence only applied to those within the town, not outside.

But generally, everyone would have some reservations.

However, they hadn’t expected Locke to kill a Star Ring dark wizard in a fit of rage right at the town’s gate.

Many Sun Ring and Moon Ring Dark Wizards sneered. They weren’t afraid of a mere Star Ring Wizard, but they felt he was decisive and ruthless, even among dark wizards, he was considered hot-tempered. They had no conflict of interest with Locke and naturally didn’t want to clash with him.

Many Star Ring Dark Wizards looked towards the edge of the town with fear.

Of course, some Star Ring Dark Wizards looked on with displeasure, feeling that Locke had broken the peace. While his actions weren’t unreasonable, his methods were undeniably violent. However, given his swift and decisive actions, these dark wizards dared not cause trouble.

Meanwhile, within the town, some dark wizards who had initially planned to cause trouble also abandoned their schemes.

The Eye Demon Grand Wizard’s actions had certainly made him famous among the dark wizards of Cloud Marsh Wetlands.

Inside a property in the town of Calicara, an elegant wizard, dressed in a blood-red robe, swirled a glass of bright red blood. He was like a refined young nobleman, with smooth skin on his face without a single scar.

The Moon Ring Wizard, raising his goblet, addressed the Star Ring Wizard, Second Ring Wizard, and First Ring Wizards before him: “Locke Augustine, I saw him in the Pale Pilgrimage documents. I remember he was on good terms with Haishan.”

“Never mind. That kid looks troublesome. I’m not afraid of him, but I am afraid of trouble.” “

I have a feeling that provoking him will get us into trouble.”

“Have you found Haishan? Where did he go?”

“The Primordial Wizard has given us several orders in his sleep. If this continues, I estimate the Primordial Wizard’s true form will arrive prematurely. Quickly find me the [blood pack] chosen by the Primordial Wizard. Don’t make things difficult for me. Currently, nine out of ten blood packs are in our hands; he’s the last one. I don’t believe a lowly wizard from a lower-level wizarding background can cause any trouble.”

At this moment, nine blood cocoons were arranged behind the Moon Ring Wizard.

A Moon Ring wizard entered, his face pale. He chuckled and said, “Hai Shan is truly laughable. He tells us they won’t associate with dark wizards anymore. Hahaha, does he really think he’s in the same category as those utterly hypocritical white wizards? Once a dark wizard, always a dark wizard. I don’t know how desperate he’ll be when he truly understands the truth about the white wizards.”

“These young wizards are ridiculously naive.”

“He’s lost the way of the righteous path.”

Locke sorted through his spoils, finding a lapis lazuli spirit mark in the opponent’s astral ring. He searched carefully but didn’t find any astral ring resources.

However, upon reflection, Locke knew that resources of this caliber couldn’t possibly be in the hands of someone like him.

“There are still some valuables inside the ring,”

Locke thought. “Once I find someone to pack them up and sell them, I should be able to pay off some of the money.”

Locke, carrying the lapis lazuli spirit mark, returned to the town and to the witch Catherine’s property. He had spent the past half-day collecting all the potion ingredients and was now meticulously refining the potion according to the wizard Kish’s recipe and the precise control of the magical flames.

An hour later, as the potion in one cauldron changed two colors in quick succession, Locke watched the final, stable purple potion. He snapped his fingers, and the potion vaporized, automatically entering a Time Crystal Vial in his hand.

The witch Catherine remained in the room, waiting for Locke.

Seeing that Locke had completed the Ghost God Potion, she smiled and said, “Not bad. It seems your trip to the Sea Queen’s Throne wasn’t in vain. You replicated the Ghost God Potion in just half a day.”

Locke said to the witch Ekaterina, “Teacher, the dark wizard I killed at the town gate was a member of the Terror Fang. He told me he was deliberately making things difficult for me because of the Terror Fang. Unfortunately, I sensed that there were quite a few Terror Fang wizards in this town. If I just captured him without killing him and threw him into the town, it might cause a conflict. We might break the rules here, and they might use that as an excuse to call on necromancers from all over the world to attack us.” “

So I decisively killed him outside the town,”

Ekaterina said, a smirk playing on her lips.

“Your judgment is very reasonable. If you bring that person into the town, you’ll give him an opportunity.”

“Besides, he is, after all, a wind magic-wielding Star Ring Wizard. It’s just that your Green Dragon Vines and the Green Dragon Grip obtained from the shortcut caught him off guard. Killing him quickly is easy, but capturing him alive will be difficult. As for why he made things difficult for you today,” “

For him, it’s probably because of the Fang of Terror. But I think the person who gave him the order was acting on someone else’s behalf. I know the Fang of Terror has indeed set its sights on that laboratory and has been loitering around it recently, probably looking for something valuable to take.” “

But this organization has no reason to oppose us so early. It seems the situation in Despair Valley is more complex than I thought back then. Back then, I thought I had to maintain a high position in Golden Crown Mountain, so I completely ignored this matter and didn’t join the organizations and gangs behind it. My position in Golden Crown Mountain wasn’t very secure back then.”

“It’s alright, continue investigating. With me here, the sky won’t fall.”

“I’d like to see what else might happen when investigating a lab accident. Locke, you did a good job just now, making a name for yourself and living up to my expectations as a student.”

The witch Catherine seemed to enjoy taking in students with a strong killing instinct.

“Your senior brother Trajan killed several times more dark wizards at your age. Locke, you need to work harder.”

Locke smiled. “Teacher, don’t tease me.”

The witch Catherine looked curiously at the potion in Locke’s hand.

“Try this potion on that poor first-ring wizard.”

“I’m very curious whether the potion you concocted as my student will work. It’s been a long time since any of my students have achieved anything in potion-making.”

“You’re the first.”

Locke said, “The Sea Queen said that because of the flaw in the White Cardamom Farm Laboratory, it doesn’t affect us breeders that much, but it will make it impossible for potion-makers to perform precise spiritual manipulation.”

The witch Catherine nodded.

“There are also scattered reports from the Potions Academy at Mount Golden Crown. However, the Green Dragon Throne is handling this matter. Alright, Locke, let’s not talk about that anymore. Let me see the potion you’ve concocted.”

Locke nodded. “Yes, teacher.”

A sentence appeared on the monocle of sunlight above his right eye: “Please, give it to me quickly

. “

Locke nodded, then chanted the potion-injection incantation. Holding the Chrono Crystal potion bottle, the potion inside churned and, in a very short time, vaporized, turning into a mist that fell into the air. Instantly, a witch who looked only 15 or 16 years old appeared in the air.

This witch had almond-shaped eyes; she widened her eyes, looking at her hands with a dry, excited expression.

“Amazing—”

“Lord Augustine, you are truly amazing! You are an exceptionally skilled potion master, a million times better than that freak named Kish. How can he compare to you? Compared to you, he’s just a mediocre person who’s spent over sixty years researching potions and still can’t figure it out!”

The witch seemed to harbor extreme hatred for Kish.

“I wonder what he’s doing researching potions. These sixty years have been a complete mess, a total waste of time. I—”

“He is the most useless potion master in the world!” “

I declare—”

Her hands were wreathed in magical energy particles, and her body rapidly transitioned from [Ghostly State] back to the Prime Material Plane, though her voice grew increasingly shrill.

“Ah, Lord Augustine, what’s wrong with me? My body, Lord Augustine—”

Under the watchful eyes of Locke and the witch Catherine, the first-ring witch’s body began to solidify, and she was wearing the insignia clearly belonging to the Fairy Academy from the Azure Wilderness. But this didn’t last long; soon her body began to shrink, and then she grew smaller and smaller, her voice weaker and weaker.

The witch was now only the size of a human little finger.

A moment of silence fell over the scene.

Catherine the Witch raised an eyebrow and looked at Locke, saying, “Not bad. It’s already quite impressive. After all, that Kish didn’t tell you the amount of Wang Bu Liu Xing needed, or the recipe for modifying the magical flame’s heat. You must have made those modifications yourself. At least this witch has broken free of her invisible ghostly state. Although she’s shrunk a bit, her magical abilities aren’t significantly affected. So I think this is already a success.” “

Because it doesn’t affect her basic functions. For a wizard, height isn’t that important.”

Locke pondered for a moment, quickly recalling the ghostly potion recipe he had designed. It was probably the processing of the last ingredient, the Wang Bu Liu Xing leaf, that caused the problem.

Of course, Locke thought carefully and realized that if an ordinary first-ring wizard drank his ghostly potion, there probably wouldn’t be much of a problem.

But the problem was that this witch had been in the ghostly state for ten years, which was probably why it interfered with the potion’s effects.

At this moment, the witch seemed very frightened, constantly trying to jump up, which attracted the attention of Locke and Catherine the Witch.

Locke bent down, placed his palm on the ground, and let the witch jump onto his hand.

The witch said anxiously, “Lord Augustine, no! I don’t want to become Thumbelina! Can’t you find a way to turn me back to normal?”

Locke said, “The problem lies in your consumption of a potion far exceeding your usual level. It’s probably because your soul is tainted with too much spiritual energy. It’s alright, it’s easy to solve. I’ll keep you with me for a while and then help you adjust. But, witch, what’s your name? Where are you from?”

The witch replied to Locke, “I am Dante from the Wizarding Lands of Celestial Blue Wilderness. My teacher is the Sun Ring Wizard, Lady Alice.”

“Lord Augustine, ten years ago, I was attracted by an adorable magical creature, the Borbot Rabbit, and stumbled upon this place while trying to catch it. Then—then I was deceived by Archmage Kish, that worthless potion-making expert who had absolutely no talent for potions. He used rhetoric to trick me, leading me step by step to join the Dark Wizards’ Alliance, but his goal was to make me drink the Potion of the Dark God.”

Locke said, “I know where you came from. I will send students to verify your identity. Witch Dante, I have already saved you, repaying the debt I incurred for obtaining the formula for the Potion of the Dark God. As for further treatment of you—or simply sending you back to the Azure Wasteland—”

Witch Dante’s expression changed drastically.

“No, no, you can’t send me back to the Azure Wilderness. I’m doomed if I go back. I’ll definitely be locked up in the wizard’s prison, or worse. I can’t go back.”

The witch Catherine said to Locke, “She can’t go back.” “

I’m familiar with that wizarding land, the Azure Wilderness. I grew up there during my mortal days. The Azure Wilderness is the region in the Eastern Frontier where the spirit of the Law Era remains the most. I think this little girl escaped there by the skin of her teeth.

The Borbot rabbit has two main characteristics: first, it’s cute, and second, it’s fast.”

“Since she needs such a magical creature, it means she was being hunted down.”

“The Azure Wilderness believes that only people of noble character, high birth, who can afford a lot of money, and who meet certain criteria can learn magic. In other words, unlike other regions, in the Azure Wilderness, only people of noble character and deemed kind can learn magic. People like us, who were born into mortal families, cannot learn magic.” “

But that doesn’t mean that having a good birth guarantees a carefree life.”

“In the Azure Wilderness, if you do anything wrong, you’ll be immediately disqualified from learning magic. Therefore, the Azure Wilderness considers its standards high, and its wizards are different from those in other wizarding lands. I’ve always thought that the wizards of the Azure Wilderness might still consider themselves to be living in the old Lawful Age. Although I don’t know if our civilization was like that during the Lawful Age.”

The Thumb Witch of Dante raised her hands, as if she had found family.

“Your Majesty, so you also hail from the Azure Wasteland. That’s wonderful.”

The Thumb Witch of Dante said, “Kind Lord Augustine.”

“Although I am only a first-ring witch, I am still a formal wizard. I’ve spent a long time with that wizard Kish, who has little talent in potions, and I know a lot about him. Because he can’t see me—although I designed the kind of device you’re wearing now, with the Potion of the Ghost God, I can always find a way to bypass the detection of these devices and secretly follow him.”

“After all, I am a formal wizard. Although I’m a bit naive and foolish, it’s precisely because of my naivety that he lowered his guard against me.” “

I know at least two of his secrets.”

Locke asked, “Which two?”

The Thumb Witch of Dante stood in Locke’s palm, hands on her hips.

“The first big secret. I know he once attended a Death Selection Conference in this town. Although the meeting place of the Death Selection Conference often changes, I happen to know the location and time of the next meeting.”

“And Kish’s monstrous potion—it’s really quite good. I don’t know why, but no one has discovered me.”

Locke said, “Dant, you don’t need to be too smug. It’s possible that they have discovered it, but no one has said it outright. I just don’t know if they will tell Wizard Kish on their own initiative. So the information you heard may not be accurate. But I am indeed interested.”

“What’s the second one?”

Thumb Witch Dante pondered, “The second one is that once when he drank a strong wizard’s drink and got drunk, he started talking nonsense, and I accidentally heard something from him. It’s about the source of the top meditation method. What he told you before is indeed true, but he has hidden someone.”

Locke looked at the Thumb Witch in his palm and asked, “Who is it?”

Witch Dante said, “I’m not quite sure either. It seems to be the Throne of Good and Evil in the Siming Waters.”

“I heard him say that after he obtained the meditation method in that ruin, a wizard dressed as a merchant suddenly appeared in front of him. Then he was shocked to discover that it was the throne wizard of the Siming Water Illusion School, who claimed to be the Throne of Good and Evil. The Throne of Good and Evil said that he could take the meditation method with him alive, but he had to make a deal with him.”

Locke asked, “What deal?”

The witch Dante showed a puzzled expression in Locke’s palm, and she spread her hands.

“The Throne of Good and Evil said he wanted to be allowed to witness his end.”

“So he placed a stone inside his body.”

“Then, that good-for-nothing, perverted sweet tooth Kish often broke down because of this, saying that it was all someone else’s fault that he was like this—”

“Anyway, that’s all I know. He wouldn’t normally say these things unless it was an accident.”

The witch Catherine said, “You don’t need to ask. I know what happened. The Throne of Good and Evil of the Siming Waters was once the renowned Throne Wizard of the Illusion School, with high academic level, a good team under him, and several good students.” “

But later he went mad while studying the science of truth and goodness.”

Locke blinked. “Crazy?”

said the witch Catherine. “You couldn’t say crazy—it’s just a choice. It’s said that he did a lot of research and started to believe that some people have no good in them. He wrote an article that has now been sealed by the White Wizarding Association. In that article, he argued that some people, because of their lack of wisdom, cause any system to be destroyed by these unwise and unkind people. Therefore, he proposed a theory called ‘The Science of Evil’.”

Locke looked completely bewildered.

The witch Catherine said, “You don’t need to know what this doctrine is. It’s the doctrine of the Three Rings Throne, and its power over form is too strong. I’m afraid if you listen to it, your own form will be influenced by it. Your path will be skewed. In short, it’s a doctrine of discrimination, categorizing people into different classes. This school of illusion is very harmful, even triggering several wars between the illusion schools in the Eastern Realm.” “

The final result is that this wizard, while not becoming a dark wizard, is now in a state of being neither good nor evil. I’ve heard that he now frequently appears before other wizards, setting various tests for them, using them as his sociological experiments.”

“I think that failed argument was a huge blow to him. Now he’s been conducting sociological experiments, trying to empirically prove his theory. I suspect he’s been targeting Kish back then,”

said the witch Ekaterina. “It’s alright. His activities are mainly in the worlds outside the Void, not in our wizarding world. Now his lineage has disintegrated, and his influence in the wizarding world is very small. Don’t bother with him. Once I’ve compiled the top-tier meditation method, I’ll give it to you. It’s alright, because the core of the top-tier meditation method isn’t in these places.”

The witch Ekaterina added, “Just get along well with this little witch from the Azure Wasteland. Locke, I’ve already mobilized the survey team from Golden Crown Mountain. They’re all waiting outside the town now. I order you to lead this survey team into the Rain Marsh first.”

“I might be late because of the Hanging Gardens project, but I will arrive. The Hanging Gardens are short of materials again, and I need to handle it personally. Those people aren’t doing a good job.”

Locke nodded and said, “Okay, teacher.”

The witch Catherine asked, “The investigation team is quite large; I hope you can lead them well. Besides, regarding the question you asked me about the three-in-one hybrid cultivation method, I didn’t have time to answer it before, but I’ve written some materials myself. I’m glad you noticed the problems with your ultimate magic. Ultimate magic is indeed most suitable for modification during the initial forging.”

Locke took the materials, quite flattered.

“Thank you, teacher. Teacher, I mainly have some questions about the chain law of plant factors involved in the various cultivation methods; I have trouble understanding it. This seems to be a law proposed by the truth wizard Thomas Lyssen, who seems to be in the Starfield Sea now—”

The witch Catherine’s expression was complicated.

“Hmm. I know. He is my and Anna’s teacher.”

Locke and the witch in his palm both looked up at the witch Catherine.

Locke said, “Ah, so it’s my grandmaster. Then I must master these laws.”
