Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 1075

Chapter 1058 The Collective Wrath of the Swamp Folk Club and the Entrance of the White Frost Witch!

The message in a bottle from Principal Elliott quickly returned.

Locke saw a video of him; in the video, Principal Elliott sat in a wheelchair, his face ashen, his expression listless, seemingly exhausted.

He looked utterly drained, as if he had overexerted himself. As a water purifier with profound knowledge of water magic, he should have been radiant and full of energy.

Principal Elliott sat in his wheelchair, his arms crossed, his expression extremely enthusiastic.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name, Taiwan Novel Network, it’s super useful, 𝘵𝘸𝘬𝘢𝘯.𝘤𝘰𝘮, enjoy it anytime.]

“Master Locke, our academy desperately needs this magical plant. I’ve seen it, and it’s incredibly powerful. Moreover, according to your description, it can destroy magical artifacts. This perfectly counters the magic of their White Ice Tower. Thank you so much. Locke, I thought you would forget my request, but I didn’t expect you to remember.”

“I owe you a favor.” “

A huge favor. To be honest, if it were simply about protecting interests, negotiating directly with the wizards of the White Ice Tower would seem to have been easier to resolve your quota issue along the Tianjiang River. Therefore, I believe your help to our Tide Grand Wizard Tower has gone beyond the limits of self-interest. I am very grateful to you, and perhaps after this matter is over, I can directly and permanently share the Tide Magic Spring with you.”

“This is also the most valuable magical resource of the Tide Wizarding Tower. But Master Locke, how do we activate such a powerful magical plant? Our Tide Wizarding Tower doesn’t have such a skilled botanist. Or do you have another method?”

Locke and the witch Bailouluo completed their agreement. She purchased three of his Super Sword Tiger Orchid Dragonflies for six million magic stones each.

Locke reminded her not to buy too many, as magical plants are living things. After buying them, she should at least know the basic methods of preservation and cultivation, otherwise, the Super Sword Tiger Orchid Dragonflies’ condition might decline.

However, the witch Bailouluo seemed to have a great fondness for collecting wizard swords and a fervent desire for wizard swords—even wizard sword magical plants. So she bought three at once and told Locke that she intended to give them to her two excellent retainers.

After signing the contract, Locke turned and left the Tranquil Garden, as he had keenly sensed the discord between the Red Witch and Bailouluo.

The Red Witch was proud and arrogant, and Bailouluo would never give any face to someone she disliked.

Therefore, it was best to leave as soon as possible.

Before leaving, Locke reminded the five first-ring wizards that in order to complete the breeding task for the Maupassant family, they needed to work hard that afternoon to create another Hadron Bottle Garden Cavern.

With this Hadron Bottle Garden Cavern, he could imbue the magical plants of the three wizard fighters from the Maupassant family who were about to go to the arena with the necessary mystical meanings. As

Locke walked along the corridor of the Tranquil Garden, he said to a Maupassant family apprentice, “Have your family’s three Star Ring wizards send over their commonly used magical plants. It would be best to send two.”

The apprentice didn’t quite understand, but he still tried his best to remember every word Locke said, afraid of missing even one.

The reason Locke wanted them to send two plants was because there was a high probability of breeding failure or imbuing the magical plants with undesirable mystical meanings.

At least that was the case for the Flower King Bottle and the Green Nursery.

However, because the mystical meaning of the hadron bottle tends to strengthen itself, the probability of problems is relatively low. No matter how outrageous it is, as long as the mystical meaning of strengthening a certain trait of the magical plant is not completely unusable.

Locke stood in the corridor, replying to Principal Elliot. “

Principal, you don’t need to worry about this. As long as I use the upgraded version of my Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow Platform, the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow Platform, I should be able to temporarily use the Hercules Soybean to control my Super Sword Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow. Combined with eliminating all traces, it will ensure that the Star Ring Wizards of the White Ice Tower never return. Just wait for me to send it over. In the meantime, try to stall for time.”

The wizards of the White Ice Tower should still be in the stage of testing your strength. “There’s a question I’ve wanted to ask for a long time: why haven’t you two been punished by the White Wizard Association after fighting for so long? Logically speaking, even if the White Wizard Association doesn’t send troops, as long as they stop distributing funds to you, or give you a few important articles, or cancel some important titles of your academy, both sides will stop and make peace.”

Especially canceling some important titles.

Some titles inherently imply benefits; possessing such a title grants control over the allocation and review of projects, grants, and journals.

Therefore, certain titles are crucial assets for an academy—

more important than one’s life itself.

The White Wizarding Association, controlling the granting and adjudication of these titles, effectively controls the very existence of these academies.

Soon, Dean Elliott replied.

“Professor Locke, I await your good news. Regarding your question, this is probably because each wizarding territory is different.”

Three thousand years ago, the Tianjiang Riverbank was the territory of black wizards. Later, the Star Domain Sea cleared out the black wizards to develop waterways. This region still retains many black wizarding habits. Therefore, we turn pale at the mention of black wizards and absolutely cannot consider ourselves black wizards. In addition, this time the White Wizard Association did not punish either of us. I suspect it may be because the Tianjiang Riverbank is in a special state. “

I tried to report it, and the association sent people down to manage it. Every time someone came down, the White Ice Tower would retract, and only continue its attack after they left. Therefore, I can use this method to buy time. “

Dean Elliott sent Locke a message in a bottle containing video recordings. In the video, he looked very tired.

“I used my connections and learned that the White Ice Tower only wants our Tide Wizarding Tower to disband, or for me to lose my potential to advance to Moon Ring Wizard. One or the other.”

“That might be considered merciful by the White Ice Tower.”

“This is already a compromise after all we White Wizards have made. But this kind of thing wouldn’t happen in your Cloud Marsh or Rain Marshlands. I’ve heard that the White Wizarding Associations there are much more powerful, and the behavior of White Wizards and Black Wizards is clearly distinct. And in a wizarding land like the Azure Wilderness, it’s a different story. The Asgardian Wizards seem to view any act of killing as evil.”

Locke raised an eyebrow.

Because this didn’t seem like a decision from Master Keekunyue. The sudden disbandment of a top academy in a wizarding land would surely lead to punishment for a high-ranking member of the local association.

But it was hard to say.

Master Keekunyue wouldn’t live much longer.

It’s unpredictable what decisions a dying person might make.

Locke tossed a message in a bottle to Dean Elliott.

“I understand. Don’t worry, with my Super Sword Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow, the problem should be easily solved. You are welcome to purchase my Sword Tiger Orchid. In addition, I would like you to provide me with the contact information of the current person in charge of the White Ice Tower. I prefer to be polite first, perhaps there is a solution other than v*olence.”

Principal Elliot immediately sent the contact information to Locke via a message in a bottle, while also leaving a video message.

In the video, he was sitting in a wheelchair, raising his eyebrows angrily.

“The opposing leader, Lorenkiev, has a magic pressure of 29,000, but he’s too old to advance to Moon Ring Wizard. He’s always been jealous of me, and he once told me personally after an academic conference that he didn’t want to see me advance to Moon Ring Wizard.”

“That’s just the kind of despicable person he is. You can’t reason with him, Professor Locke.”

“He’s jealous of my potential to become a Moon Ring Wizard. Therefore, I believe he’s the biggest main force in the White Ice Tower’s conflict.

” “

Furthermore, I’ve always suspected Master Keekun Moon’s involvement. Without the leniency of the Chief Councilor of the March Palace, the White Wizard Association would have punished the White Ice Tower long ago. They’re practically indistinguishable from Black Wizards.”

Locke nodded. “I understand.”

“These things are indeed very strange, especially the large-scale use of necromancer artifacts by someone in the White Ice Tower. I strongly suspect someone in the White Ice Tower has been corrupted. Now, the sudden appearance of necromancers in Rose Building also seems very strange; those necromancers may very well have been lurking inside the White Ice Tower.”

Judging from the current situation, there should be many undead inside the White Ice Tower.

It’s unclear whether Master Kikongyue and Mr. Lorenkiev, the current de facto leader of the White Ice Tower, have any connection with those dark wizards. However, it’s likely that the dark wizards have been hiding under the protection of the White Ice Tower for a long time.

This is why the local White Wizarding Association has repeatedly investigated wizarding areas, but has consistently failed to uncover any dark wizarding organizations along the Tianjiang River.

Locke exchanged a few pleasantries with Principal Elliott and obtained a map of the current battle situation of the Tide Great Wizarding Tower from him. The White Ice Tower is clearly preparing to use encirclement tactics, currently employing coercion and enticement to gradually win over the intermediate and advanced academies of the Tide Great Wizarding Tower, as well as the ordinary wizarding academies along the Tianjiang River that are allied with it.

The headquarters of the Tide Great Wizarding Tower, the Tide Great Wizarding Tower itself, is within the encirclement.

It seemed that because the Tide Wizarding Tower had previously disbanded its academy, forcing all wizard apprentices and some wizarding instructors to leave, the White Ice Tower had this time constructed numerous magic arrays near the Tide Wizarding Tower, blocked major transportation routes to various mortal nations, and directly disrupted many of the Tide Wizarding Tower’s economic markets.

Even his own Silver Peach Garden was affected.

Due to the White Ice Tower’s blockade, no one dared risk the flames of war to enter his Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow Service Station, forcing his first service station to rely solely on orders from wizards at the Tide Wizarding Tower headquarters.

Locke realized that the White Ice Tower was likely trying to pressure him into withdrawing from this mess.

As Headmaster Elliott had said, he wasn’t completely bound to the Tide Wizarding Tower; he could negotiate with the White Ice Tower.

Locke immediately contacted Wizard Terence of Silver Peach Garden via a message in a bottle.

Locke received Terence’s message in a bottle, which was filled with Terence’s complaints to Locke. Things like the war had broken out again, sales had plummeted, service station profits had fallen short of expectations, and the second service station, which was supposed to be built in front of the local White Wizard Association headquarters, hadn’t been established yet because the first service station’s profits hadn’t met expectations for several months.

Terence sent Locke one last message in a bottle, with a note inside that read:

“Sir, what should we do now?” “

Supervisor, even if you don’t contact me, I’ll contact you.”

“The White Ice Tower is trying to force me to shut down our first service station.”

Locke didn’t reply, but instead tried to contact Mr. Lorenkiev using the contact information given to him by Dean Elliott.

His idea was to first be courteous before resorting

to force. Punishing without warning is tyrannical.

How could he directly break ties without first stating his position?

That went against his usual style.

Locke sent the silver message in a bottle used for adding friends directly using the magic of the Frost River, following the contact information. In the illusory flow of the Frost River, Locke saw a silver bottle with a bow drifting towards the White Ice Tower.

Because the Frost River runs through half of the Wizarding World, as long as the Frost River flows through a Wizarding Land, the message in a bottle mechanism along the Frost River in that Wizarding Land can be used.

However, Locke waited for a while but didn’t receive the silver message representing acceptance, which would allow direct contact via message in a bottle later.

Locke frowned.

“That Lorenkiev, he blocked the business of Silver Peach Garden and my Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow Service Station. I thought he wanted to contact me directly. But now there’s no reaction. What does this mean?”

Along the Tianjiang River, in the Wizard’s Land, at the White Ice Tower, the Tianjiang Riverbank was even colder due to the breach of the Tianhan River’s banks. Heavy snow was falling, not ordinary snowflakes, but ice magic crystals imbued with the powerful magic of the Tianhan River.

Inside the white ice tower, entirely constructed of white ice blocks and bricks, in an office filled with ice crystals, Wizard Lorenkiev looked with a mocking expression at the silver message in a bottle on the table—the very bottle sent by Locke Augustine.

Sitting before Wizard Lorenkiev was a Star Ring Witch. This Star Ring Witch of the white ice tower didn’t appear to be flesh; her entire body was made of ice, like an ice person, even her eyebrows were made of ice crystals.

“—The

Ice Witch asked doubtfully, “Didn’t you want Locke Augustine to add you as a friend so you could get his contact information? That’s why you ordered the students to block the trade route of the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow’s service station. That wasn’t our war objective; it was a third party. We shouldn’t have attacked Silver Peach Garden along with it. Just like the Tide Wizard Tower didn’t actively attack Rose Building on our side.”

Wizard Lorenkiev picked up a glass of wizard’s wine from the table, took a sip, and said, “I’ve changed my mind.”

“The one who should be anxious now isn’t me, it’s that famous breeder master from Cloud Marsh Wetlands, Locke Augustine.

Why should I be anxious?”

“Why should I be in a hurry to add him as a friend?”

“Right now, we’re sitting on the sidelines. I need to put more pressure on him, forcing him to immediately abandon the Tide Wizard Tower. This will give me a greater advantage in our later negotiations. I also want Silver Peach Garden to build a service station for our White Ice Tower at half price. Therefore, I’m not in a hurry to add this breeder master as a friend right now.”

Lorenkiev gave a sarcastic smile.

“These are all things I’ve calculated, and I can roughly guess his reaction. This master breeder is a smart man, and as a wizard, he should understand that he’ll go where the profit lies.”

The Ice Witch frowned, glanced at the silver message in a bottle on his table, and said, “Mr. Lorenkiev, I respect your decision. But you must also understand that the other party is a renowned senior researcher from Mount Golden Crown, and we shouldn’t go too far.

We can’t offend him. This is also what Lord Chikunyue warned us about.”

Wizard Lorenkiev nodded confidently.

“In this situation, he probably doesn’t have any good solutions. I’m going to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson. Don’t worry, I will personally apologize to this breeding genius afterward. Everything is under my control. Although I’m old and not as good as him academically, I have quite a bit of experience when it comes to these matters.

” “Everything is under my control.”

In the corridor of the Tranquil Garden in Despair Valley, Rain Marsh, Locke waited for a while and, seeing that no silver message in a bottle had arrived, he roughly guessed the other party’s thoughts, and Locke curled his lips into a smile.

“Is he trying to put pressure on me to gain a stronger negotiating position?”

“He probably didn’t understand. I was just being polite, wanting to use diplomacy first before resorting to force.”

“That saves me trouble. I didn’t really want to talk anyway, it was just a formality—now it seems there’s no need to talk, we can just take action.”

Locke waved his hand, creating an illusion in front of him with magic, and adjusted the composition of the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow Platform with his fingers.

“Then let’s put my Super Sword Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow into use. A few details need adjusting. But those can be handled by the designers hired by Silver Peach Garden. As the supervisor, I had the Shop Alliance pay them to come, so they’ll naturally have to do some work.”

—

“They can manage just a few minor adjustments.”

“Once the adjustments are complete, it can be put into use. Based on my understanding of the White Ice Tower’s magical structure, this system completely counters it. As long as Master Kikun Yue doesn’t intervene, they’re doomed. And Master Kikun Yue has a limited lifespan; he can’t possibly intervene for something like this.”

“The name ‘Super Sword Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow’ doesn’t seem to be very effective at increasing sales—”

Locke pondered, “Then let’s change the name to ‘Great Demon Sword Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow.’ That name should increase sales considerably; after all, a cool name is itself a demonstration of product performance.”

Locke tried contacting Antoine.

“I wonder if Antoine’s true form has returned to the Wizarding World from the ancient planet yet.”

“No reply, so it seems not. Perfect timing. I’ll try strengthening some Great Ming Dragon Birds with the hadron flasks to see if they can fly in the hadron world.”

“Also, I have three more magical plant cultivation commissions from the Maupassant family, plus I need to collect ecological data on the outskirts of the Despair Valley Laboratory. I have quite a lot to do these days. I expect to create at least four hadron flask garden caves. However, this will greatly benefit my improvement in Spiritual Breathing and Spiritual Breathing Cultivation.”

Locke stretched. “Then work hard, Locke.”

Rain Marshland, the Swamp Folk Club. This club is located in a medium-sized swamp, with a magical fountain in the very center.

The water in this magical fountain is crystal clear, and a faint rainbow hangs behind the spring. There seems to be diamond dust in the water.

This magical fountain is called the Diamond Magical Fountain.

It has a strong dispelling property; anyone who soaks in the fountain will have any residual magic removed.

Beside the swampy spring, numerous magical items resembling beach chairs were arranged, along with dishes, wine, and fruit served on tables atop the backs of dinosaur-like pets, for the club’s Star Ring wizards to enjoy.

A wizard dressed in a robe resembling rags, framed with numerous ancient animal bones, reclined on a deckchair, embracing two alluring First Ring witches on either side.

He wore eyeliner and a black ring on his nose; this was Patrick Keaton, the wizard of the Winged Dragon Gardens, nicknamed the Winged Demon Wizard.

He was also a member of the ruling family of the Winged Dragon Gardens.

While Patrick Keaton was enjoying his harem, the other wizards in the club were also enjoying the wine and women provided, whispering amongst themselves.

On a chaise lounge next to Patrick Keaton, a wizard dressed in a rhinoceros leather robe, holding a common first-ring lizardwoman, said to Patrick, “Patrick, your tastes are still so lowbrow. You actually like these inferior mammals. Look at my recent girlfriend, she’s a princess from the Lizard World.” “

That’s much more interesting than your two human witches,” replied

Kent, a Star Ring wizard from the Triceratops Garden.

Every club has its share of wizards who hold ecological advantages and dominate the situation.

The two wizards, both graduates of a top-ten academy in the Rainswamp, clearly held a dominant position in the club for the time being, thanks to their status, academic standing, and magical power.

However, if they became Moon Ring Wizards, they would have to leave the club. This

is because the club, sponsored by the sponsor, explicitly stipulates that only Star Ring Wizards can join, and this has always been an unspoken rule.

Besides these two Star Ring Wizards, there are two other Star Ring Wizards with magic pressure between 27,000 and 28,000, also from top wizarding academies within this wizarding land, whose strength and academic level are unanimously recognized by their peers.

These four are considered the core members of the club, and their social circle forms the inner circle.

Of course, there are also wizards who only come to the club to network, so they don’t enter this core circle led by the four. They simply use the club to socialize, build relationships, and exchange resources and information.

These wizards are the peripheral figures of the club, or temporary members who might not return at any time.

The four, however, are the club’s regulars.

Patrick, the wizard from Winged Dragon Garden, said, “It’s a pity, though. I heard a powerful Star Ring wizard came from Cloudswamp Wetlands, so I sent someone to deliver an invitation to him, hoping to invite him to join our club. As a permanent director of the club, inviting geniuses is my job. I also heard that this wizard, Locke Augustine, possesses a very high-level reptilian magical creature bloodline. But unfortunately, it seems he didn’t come.”

Kent, the wizard from Triceratops Garden, said, “It’s probably for the best. Our tastes might not be the same as his; forcing people with different preferences together might cause trouble.”

“And it’s not just him; even the truly top-tier Star Ring wizard geniuses native to our Cloudswamp Wetlands have basically not joined our club.”

“Which of those Star Ring Wizards who joined the Ancient Bloodline Universal Factor Project would deign to come? One Star Ring Wizard did come once, but only once, and then we never saw him again.”

The third council member was feasting on a pile of food. He was a Star Ring Wizard from the second-ranked Bracer Dragon Garden, and he looked very fat and was stuffing a large piece of cake into his mouth.

“Our club’s performance this year is really mediocre.”

The fourth council member was a witch, Bella Austin, wearing a purple leather coat. She was a Star Ring Wizard from the ninth-ranked Whiptail Dragon Garden Academy. She didn’t join the conversation and was currently frowning at her Star Ring Wizard friend from the Water Kite Dragon Garden, the Narcissus Witch, Margot Bennett.

The Narcissus Witch wasn’t a breeder, but a weatherman. Bella Austin, as a club director, naturally had certain privileges, allowing her to bring her friends into clubs of this caliber in her own name. The two were best friends, so naturally they would help each other.

Margot Bennett had a scar on her face, a wound inflicted by Probus in Despair Valley, making her look rather pitiful.

Margot Bennett sighed.

“It’s just that I’m not skilled enough; I suffered such a great loss while collecting research materials. Not only me, but also Versailles from the Saber-armored Dragon Garden, Enid from the Winged Dragon Garden, Gordon from the Hammer Dragon Garden, and even Barbara and Roy from the Reptile Garden all suffered greatly in the Despair Valley Laboratory.”

The Purple Witch and Bella Witch looked at each other strangely.

“These people are no ordinary individuals. Among the Star Ring Wizards in our Rainswamp Wizarding Lands, they are not weak, but rather of average level. Wizard Roy is above average, and that Iron Hammer Wizard Gordon is a rising star. Witch Enid of the Winged Dragon Gardens is someone we four council members are currently considering recruiting into the club.

” “

And the gardens to which these wizards belong are all among the top thirty in our Wizarding Lands.

” “You all actually suffered such a great loss at the Despair Valley Laboratory.”

Witch Margot Bennett’s face flushed slightly, somewhat guilty.

“We were simply outmatched.”

Witch Narcissus, Witch Margot Bennett sighed, “I really suffered a great loss.”

She adjusted her semi-transparent gauze wizard robe, which flowed like water on her body and appeared to have a faint pale blue hue.

“But that wizard didn’t just declare war on us, he declared war on all the Star Ring wizards of the Rainswamp. He used magic to declare to the entire Despair Valley that he will await all the Star Ring wizards of the Rainswamp in the Despair Valley Laboratory.”

Upon hearing this, all the nearby Star Ring wizards turned to look at her, and the previously slightly noisy environment quieted down.

The male wizards and low-ring witches, acting as attendants, wisely remained silent at this moment.

The Purple Witch Bella’s purple hair was burning fiercely, a result of the magic she researched. Her already fiery temper flared, and her eyes sharpened instantly.

“Declaring such a thing to all the Star Ring wizards of our wizarding lands?”

“Margo, you can’t just say things like that, you can’t wrong someone,”

Bella said seriously, scanning her best friend’s face, observing her expression to determine the truth.

Narcissus Witch, Margot Bennet, said, “Of course I wouldn’t lie. I came to this club specifically to seek help, which is why I wanted you to take me in. That wizard boasted that he would maintain his superior position anytime, anywhere, and win against anyone. He wants to compete openly and fairly with all the heroes of our wizarding lands in that laboratory.”

All the Star Ring wizards in the club looked at her.

Even the fat Star Ring wizard from the Winged Dragon Garden, who was only focused on eating cake, narrowed his eyes and looked at Narcissus Witch, Margot Bennet.

Meanwhile, Director Kent from the Triceratops Garden and Director Patrick from the Winged Dragon Garden both became serious. They pushed aside the witches beside them and walked over.

The portly club director said, “Gods fight for believers, wizards fight for fame and pride. If he were just a Star Ring wizard within our Wizarding Lands, that would be one thing, but Despair Valley? That means he’s a wizard from Golden Crown Mountain. That means he’s not an ordinary wizard, but a wizard from a top-tier academy like us.”

“Does he have authorization from Golden Crown Mountain behind his actions? Could it be that Golden Crown Mountain is eager to challenge all the Star Ring wizards in our Wizarding Lands to prove their academy’s academic level to the world?”

“Previously, an alchemist from Dragonfall came and challenged all the Star Ring wizards in our Wizarding Lands, almost taking over the entire Golden Swamp Citizens Club. It was only after the Golden Swamp Citizens Club’s director personally intervened that they defeated the alchemist from Dragonfall. Now, another breeder has come to challenge our entire Wizarding Lands.” The portly

club director narrowed his eyes.

“This absolutely cannot be taken as a declaration from just an ordinary individual wizard. The wizards of Cloud Marsh Wetlands have been looking down on the level of wizards from Rain Marsh for quite some time now. It seems they have ill intentions, aiming to outdo us all and make a name for themselves!”

“Bennett, why don’t you ask the top geniuses from your Water Kite Dragon Garden to help?”

said the witch Margot Bennett. “The top geniuses from our Water Kite Dragon Garden are all weather masters. I’ve spoken to them, but they consider it an internal matter for our breeders, and they shouldn’t interfere.”

The wizard Kent from Triceratops Garden retorted angrily, “The Three Marshes are all wizarding lands of equal caliber, and everyone loves to compare themselves. Does losing to the breeders of Cloud Marsh Wetlands make those weather masters feel proud?”

“When I’m out and about, I always hear the wizards from Cloud Marsh say that the wizards of Rain Marsh are the worst in the Three Marshes.

Hmph, this time they’ve actually come knocking on our door. The three wizarding lands have been deeply allied for thousands of years, and there are many accumulated conflicts. Shouldn’t we settle our scores today?”

Patrick, the director of Winged Dragon Garden, took out a magical plant from his astral ring, and while stroking it, he whispered, “Kent, don’t exaggerate too much. Don’t make it seem like all the fault lies with that wizard. We can’t blame others like that.” “

But that wizard made a bold statement, challenging all the Star Ring wizard breeders in our Rain Marsh? Hahaha—

I’d like to see if he has the ability.”

“He wants to use us to make a name for himself. Golden Crown Mountain wants to do this to show off their academic achievements. Fine, I’d like to see if he can handle it.”

At this moment, the breeders in the club also expressed their opinions.

They all looked extremely angry.

Because this was tantamount to coming knocking on our door.

If these breeders didn’t do something, wouldn’t it really confirm that the breeders in their wizarding land were inferior to those in the neighboring wizarding land?

While wizards value profit, the higher the rank of a wizard in a top-tier institution, the more they value their academic reputation. Councilor

Patrick asked the Narcissus Witch Bennett, “But after all this time, we still don’t know who this person is.

Narcissus Witch, tell me, what is this person’s name?”

Councilor Patrick raised his right hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

“Colleagues, let’s hear this person’s name first.”

Wizard Kent seemed to have lost interest in the lizardwoman beauty; his pupils had shrunk, and his attention was entirely focused on the wizard the Narcissus Witch Bennett was referring to.

“Let me hear who this person is. Let’s see if he’s qualified to challenge all of us!”

said the Narcissus Witch Margot Bennett. “His name is Locke Augustine.”

The breeders, who had been silent for a while, were now buzzing with excitement, though their anger had subsided considerably.

“I’ve heard of him. I’ve read many of his articles, and they’ve been very inspiring. He’s discovered many new quasi-natural magic structures and energy-locking structures, as well as new spiritual energy and imaginary roots.”

“Yes, he’s certainly capable. I read his article on the No. 2 Overlord Element, and it inspired me to write an article about the Second Ring, Third District.”

“This person is no nobody. He’s the champion of the Silent Grail. If it’s him, I’d be more convinced.

But even if it is him, and we’ve read many of his articles, we still can’t tolerate his open provocation of our club.”

The four directors exchanged glances.

As the Narcissus witch saw that the hostility among the crowd had greatly decreased after hearing Locke’s name, and instead their competitive spirit had increased, even though she wasn’t a breeder herself, she understood Locke Augustine’s achievements in the field of breeding.

A person’s reputation is like a tree’s shadow.

Dark wizards can only inspire awe through destruction and killing, but Locke’s achievements in breeding would surely lead other breeders to read his published articles.

These breeders would gain inspiration and knowledge from these articles, naturally developing a favorable impression of Locke.

This was a reputation only a white wizard could possess!

The Narcissus witch Margot Bennett understood that her previous defeat was not unjust; she now realized just how much of a wizard she had been competing against!

All four council members were deep in thought.

The portly director said, “So it was him. This makes it no longer a trivial matter. If a breeding genius like Locke Augustine comes to challenge us, it means that Golden Crown Mountain is serious. We all have to go all out. Otherwise, wouldn’t all the breeders in Rain Swamp lose face?”

Director Patrick smiled.

“We sent someone to invite him before, but he wouldn’t come. Turns out he wanted to challenge everyone in our club here.”

“Fine, his refusal to come shows he looks down on us, that’s one grudge. Now he’s openly defying us, that’s a second grudge. With these two grudges combined, I can make a trip to the Valley of Despair Laboratory and meet this great genius of Golden Crown Mountain.”

“To avenge these two grudges.

” The

Purple Witch sneered, “No matter what, this person is still too arrogant. It seems we must make him suffer a crushing defeat so he’ll know the power of our club. Are all of us combined not as good as him alone?”

“Joining our club is like joining a big family. If our whole family fights against him alone, he must pay the price for his arrogance.”

The wizard Kent from Triceratops Gardens pondered, after his anger, he thought of the benefits.

“I heard there are representative species and dominant species inside Despair Valley. We were initially hesitant to enter and compete for them. But if that’s the case, it gives us a reason.”

“Narcissus Witch, can you tell us about what’s going on inside that laboratory?”

“That’s quite interesting. For so many years, I’ve felt like my life has lacked a lot of passion.”

“This genius is coming to kick down our door, let’s see who’s better in terms of skill.”

In the Despair Valley Laboratory, Locke was working with the survey team in the Tranquil Garden, creating the Hadron Emerald Foundation, when the Tranquil Garden suddenly began to shake violently, with corridors collapsing one after another.

Locke immediately looked up and saw Probus fighting a witch in white robes above Despair Valley.

“Hmm? I see. By wearing a magical artifact and limiting her magic pressure to below 30,000, she crossed the barrier I set up and entered, thus engaging in battle with Probus.”

Locke looked up at the Moon Ring Witch in white robes.

However, this means she can only use magical artifacts to suppress her magical pressure. If her magical pressure approaches 30,000, she will be immediately driven away by the barrier she created in the form of a magical dragon.

Essentially, this was putting herself in grave danger.

Locke watched the two fight and realized that the unfamiliar Moon Ring Witch didn’t seem to be there to enter the Despair Valley Laboratory; she was after Probus.

The Moon Ring Witch sneered at Probus, a spinach in her hand like a sharp sword.

“Probus, after all these years, you scourge, you still won’t let me go!”

“Investigate? Investigate what!”

“My fate, for better or for worse, is all because of you.”

Locke’s body stiffened. He immediately understood that his earlier declaration to the entire Rain Marshland, and the news of his successful investigation team’s entry into the laboratory, had taken effect. This person must have been attracted by that news, a former acquaintance of the wizard Probus.

Most likely, even the person directly involved!

Locke immediately used the Ganoderma lucidum plant to contact everyone on the investigation team, ordering them to investigate the Moon Ring Witch’s identity immediately.

This might be the key breakthrough
