Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 1076

Chapter 1059 is full of esoteric meanings related to excellent qualities!

As the witch in the white wizard’s robe waved the white frost spinach in her hand, all the wizards in the Valley of Despair felt a strange chill, and their muscles suddenly stiffened and ached.

And this witch seemed to act without restraint; with one move, everyone in the Valley of Despair was within her spell’s range.

Locke stood in the Tranquil Garden and saw many wizard apprentices fall to the ground one after another, their bodies covered in a layer of white frost, trembling uncontrollably, their lips completely white, and many even having their eyes turned white.

The five crystallized wizards of Golden Crown Mountain became alert, for the magical power had bypassed their permanent defensive fields and was now affecting them. Even they were now teeth chattering, their bodies chilled, and their muscles ached terribly; every step felt like their bodies were being torn apart.

One of the crystallized wizards exclaimed, “It’s ice magic!”

“It’s the Evocation School’s ice magic! That Moon Ring wizard is using ice magic to envelop us all!”

Locke glanced at him and denied it, “This can’t be Evocation School magic. This is Life School magic. Didn’t you notice? Only living beings are affected. Neither the rocks on the ground nor the buildings in the corridors show any signs of freezing.”

Locke raised his hand and found that his life force was somewhat stagnant. Every life has a hidden life force, and this hidden life force must be flowing. Stagnant life force loses its power, but even he, as a Star Ring wizard with a magic pressure of 25,000, was experiencing a noticeable slowdown in the flow of his life force.

The five crystallized wizards nodded repeatedly.

“Yes, this isn’t ice magic. I’m wearing a fire magic ring and have drunk potions to increase my body temperature, but it’s completely useless.”

“I just drank a bottle of Furnace Potion, which is supposed to be the best potion for combating the low temperature, but it’s still no use. This chilling sensation is so strange, it’s like—it’s like this coldness comes from another dimension, completely impossible to remove by any means. Only after you reminded us, sir, did I realize we were treating ourselves in the wrong direction. This is life magic.” “

Then what kind of magical plant is it? And who is it? Even the previous Moon Ring Wizard didn’t attack innocent people on such a large scale. How come she’s targeting everyone in the entire Valley of Despair? Has she gone mad?!”

Locke looked up at the witch in the sky.

“Hmm?”

Locke saw the witch wielding White Frost Spinach, fighting Probus for several rounds. The purple-red rage-filled spheres flowing like water droplets from the Phoenix Tail Bamboo in Probus’s hand began to condense under the influence of the White Frost Spinach.

That Phoenix Tail Bamboo is a representative magical plant, so the White Frost Spinach is also a Moon Ring-level magical plant, and also a representative species.

Locke quickly flipped through the diagrams, confirming the identities of the two Moon Ring-level representative magical plants. First was the Three Wrath Phoenix Tail Bamboo, which he had already confirmed. It possessed the ability to transform anger, anxiety, and jealousy into three different magical pressures. The magical pressure fluctuations intertwined and converged into a sphere, thus becoming a magical product in a special state that was both an energy body and a matter.

As for the witch’s magical plant, since he was encountering it for the first time and there was no detailed information, Locke could only quickly flip through all the information that might be related to it.

However, because his spiritual energy was stagnant, Locke searched very slowly, his thinking was affected, and even his search movements became extremely stiff, his fingers numb.

In the corridors of the Serene Garden, many wizard apprentices were groaning on the ground. Faced with such a terrifying, widespread attack of life-freezing, some apprentices were even on the verge of death.

Fortunately, there were no ordinary settlements near the Despair Valley Laboratory, otherwise it would have been a massacre.

The power of the Moon Ring Demon Plant’s representative species is incredible!

At this moment, in the sky, the wizard Probus, as the target, had his entire body frozen into ice.

He struggled forward, but the ice layer on his body increased, his hair became frozen stiff, a layer of icy water covered his eyebrows, and his pupils turned azure—the result of the excessive accumulation of life magic that froze spiritual energy within his body.

The witch in the white wizard’s robe stood in the sky, laughing loudly.

“This is your price.”

“Everyone used to say you were better than me, but look at yourself now. You’re still a Star Ring Wizard, while I’m a Moon Ring Witch. I’m alive, and what are you?”

“I said the battle between us was not yet over. You didn’t believe me, do you now? Only now can you and I say who has won.”

“Hahaha—”

“Now I’ve come here to verify my correctness, to verify whether my path is true—”

A flicker of anxiety crossed the witch’s eyes.

“As wizards, we should constantly strive for more achievements!”

The five crystallized wizards felt as if they had become puppets, their movements clumsy and unsteady.

“Captain, has that Moon Ring wizard gone mad?”

“This magic can’t be countered no matter what we do—”

Locke glanced at them, knowing the situation was critical. The witch who had suddenly appeared had acted without restraint, though it could also be due to the properties of the Moon Ring plant she possessed. The key point was that such a powerful plant must be a named entity; if he could find information about it, he could probably identify what it was.

With that thought, Locke took out the Great Demon Sword Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow from his Astral Ring. Locke chanted a spell, and the Great Demon Sword Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow’s banana leaves, resembling greatswords, writhed and twisted like strong muscles. The mystical meaning of [Super Strength and Power] took effect, forcibly overcoming the pressure of the frozen spiritual energy. Locke swung it in front of him. “

Crack!”

The magic that had frozen the spiritual energy in the air was struck.

“Break!”

Locke slashed three times in quick succession, and the Great Demon Sword Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow erupted with black and red heavy elemental particles, forcibly destroying the invisible magic in the air that had frozen the spiritual energy.

“Although I don’t know the principle behind it, sometimes, you just have to cut it. This can be forcibly broken.”

The witch in the white wizard’s robe in the sky looked down at Locke, her icy blue pupils sweeping over the Great Demon Sword Tiger Orchid in Locke’s hand.

“Mere juniors, mere Star Ring Wizards, even if I didn’t intentionally target them or cast any spells on them, they absolutely could not, and could never, break my [Spiritual Breath Freeze] spell.”

“Is it thanks to that magical plant? Strange, that magical plant—”

On the other side, Locke glanced at his Great Magical Sword Tiger Orchid Dragonfly. Although the classic three-lock energy structure of the Sword Tiger Orchid Dragonfly’s leaves remained unchanged, it seemed that as hadrons entered the plant’s interior, the hardness of its outermost energy-locking structure, the [Super-Sharp Cuticle], had undergone an absolute change. This was likely a result of the Sword Tiger Orchid’s cells absorbing a significant amount of hadrons.

This was an unexpected additional effect beyond the Spiritual Breath Cultivation Method.

Above, the witch in her white wizard robes resolved to completely destroy Probus Wizard’s echo.

At that moment, Locke finally found a clue about the magical plant through its behavior.

“This is Qiu En Spinach, also known as White Frost Sword Spinach. It’s a famous amaranth-type spinach-like magical plant, one of the representative species. Currently, only three teams possess this magical plant—”

With this information, he could confirm the other party’s identity.

It was only a matter of time.

Because only three teams possessed this magical plant, and all the wizards within those three teams could be found, he could simply compare them with the witch who had time to come to the Rain Swamp, and he could basically determine who she was.

“Qiu En Spinach possesses the special magical power to freeze the spiritual energy of all surrounding wizards. As a representative species of Moon Ring magical plants, it inherited some of the magical power of the model species of spinach-type magical plants, possessing the power to freeze spiritual energy, and can enhance its magical pressure during the process of freezing life’s spiritual energy—”

After reading all the information, Locke was shocked. The power of the representative species of Moon Ring magical plants had truly broadened his horizons. This magical plant was essentially freezing the spiritual energy of everyone around it, and from this process, gaining an even stronger power to freeze spiritual energy.

In other words, the white-clad witch in the sky was probably both intentional and unintentional in involving everyone around her.

To eliminate Probus’s echo while actively limiting magical pressure, she needed to freeze the spiritual energy of everyone in Despair Valley and use the obtained energy against the wizard Probus.

Locke was curious about the deep-seated hatred or grudge between the witch and Probus that drove her to

such lengths.

It was likely related to events from sixty years ago; after all, the witch had rushed over as soon as he entered the Despair Valley laboratory, she definitely knew something.

Locke shared the information he had gathered in the group chat and urged everyone to expedite the search for the witch’s identity.

Locke posted a message in the group: “I need to know the relationship between this witch and the wizard Probus!” “

This is the key!”

Many wizards immediately responded in the group.

Of course, some wizards also reported that if things continued like this, the investigation team would inevitably suffer extremely serious deaths sooner or later.

Locke looked up at the sky, preparing to try the Flower King Sea Gold Sand, but when he looked up, he saw the White Frost Spinach in the white-robed witch’s hand piercing the chest of Wizard Probus, instantly causing a large chunk of ice to solidify there.

But at that moment, Wizard Probus coldly declared, “In my world, there is no need for wizards—

!”

The next instant, the Phoenix Tail Bamboo in his hand vibrated continuously, and a pale yellow light emanated from all wizards below the Star Ring level in the entire Valley of Despair. This light then gathered the anxieties of all the wizards in the Valley of Despair whose spiritual energy was frozen and stagnant, all converging on the magical plant in his hand. The white-robed

witch’s eyes widened.

“How is this possible? This is an ability the Phoenix Tail Bamboo of Despair doesn’t possess.”

The Phoenix Tail Bamboo in Wizard Probus’s hand was swarmed by countless bees, and in the process, it underwent another evolution.

Under the unconscious guidance of Wizard Probus, this phoenix-tail bamboo underwent multiple evolutions, resulting in the ability to collect the emotional states of all the wizards in the Despair Valley Laboratory.

Wizard Probus waved his fan, and yellow anxiety spheres, like bouncing marbles, leaped from the bamboo’s surface towards the white-clad witch. With a deafening crash, her entire body was repeatedly struck by these yellow marbles, producing a series of thuds.

These yellow anxiety marbles generated massive shockwaves upon contact with objects.

These shockwaves even deformed the witch’s arm, causing her to involuntarily release her grip, and the white frost spinach fell from her hand.

Just as the witch was about to retrieve the representative plant, Wizard Probus’s echo suddenly waved his hand.

Instantly, the laboratory door opened, generating a tremendous suction force, and the white frost spinach was sucked inside, disappearing without a trace.

The white-clad witch clutched her deformed right arm with her left hand.

Her expression changed slightly as she saw the wizard Probus charging towards her.

“You’re already like this, and you still dare to get in my way!”

“That’s my research group’s public property! Give it back!”

The witch was furious. She chanted a spell, and her permanent defensive force field shell, [Blizzard Death Realm], transformed into boundless blizzards that swept towards her. This was winter magic, the magic of the Life School, not the ice magic of the Evocation School.

The wizard Probus waved his phoenix-tail bamboo, and one bouncing yellow marble after another attacked her body.

In an instant, her Blizzard Death Realm was thrown into chaos by the shockwaves, and she herself was blasted away.

She barely managed to stop in mid-air and looked back to see the wizard Probus, his hair and beard bristling, charging towards her like a god of death, about to cut off her head. From the previous shockwaves, several bloody holes had appeared on her body, from which blood was gushing out.

“You’re a menace. I’m not letting this go.”

The witch realized she had completely misjudged Probus’s current situation. Although Probus’s magical pressure had decreased as Locke broke through a layer of memory within the Bitterwood, she couldn’t use her full power because she was actively limiting her magical pressure, especially since her powerful magic relied heavily on it.

“I must retreat first. I need to wait for this bastard’s magical pressure to decrease further before I can do anything!”

At this moment, she realized she was actually in danger of death.

Losing a representative plant was nothing compared to this.

The witch tried several methods to get rid of Probus, but to her dismay, she couldn’t shake off the echo.

In desperation, the witch suddenly turned around, took out a Star Ring plant from her Astral Ring—a jujube tree branch, only as long as an arm, like an arrow, entirely white. She threw it towards the sky, and the jujube arrow flew past Probus and into a thick cloud.

The cloud layer suddenly froze in that instant.

In a very short time, the entire cloud transformed into a giant block of ice, crashing towards the ground.

The Probus wizard, who was chasing her, looked up at the sky and stopped.

The witch glanced back at him, and seeing that he wasn’t pursuing her, she breathed a sigh of relief. She then saw a group of wizards from Mount Golden Crown rapidly approaching. Without hesitation, she chanted a spell, and a spinach-shaped wheel appeared around her. She then vanished from the spot along with the spinach wheel.

Locke, along with the lion and the deer, arrived at this location.

The Lion Wizard said, “She got away.”

The Deer Witch corrected him, saying, “She’s just too lazy to get entangled with us. Even if she’s injured, all of us combined are no match for her.”

The Lion Wizard added, “In Despair Valley, she only dared to use the maximum magical pressure of the Star Ring.”

“If she used it more, she might not have been banished, but rather suppressed here by the captain’s barrier. That would be suicide.”

Locke said, “Everyone, look up at the sky.”

The three looked up and saw an ice block the size of an island rapidly falling from the sky.

In order to escape, the witch had used a special jujube tree with ice magic to freeze an unusually large cloud in the sky, seemingly connecting the entire sky. The cloud turned into an ice block, hurtling towards Despair Valley like a meteorite impacting a planet.

And the point of impact was the Probus Wizard.

Clearly, she hadn’t given up on destroying this area and the Echo until she left.

The Lion Wizard looked up at the sky, his expression changing drastically. He chanted a spell, activating a fire magic ring he wore. Instantly, a fireball shot from his hand, striking the massive ice block that had fallen from the sky. However, the fireball couldn’t destroy the ice block in the slightest.

The Deer Witch conjured a three-leafed vine in her hand. The vine had changed from the yellowish-green of autumn to the bright green of summer, and its attribute had become fire. The three-leafed vine possessed three different attributes, changing with the seasons, and its leaves also changed color due to the secretion of different natural magical components.

Now, she chanted a spell, activating the vine, which, like a chain of flame, stretched towards the sky, attempting to bind the massive ice block in the heavens.

Her expression changed slightly. The instant the three-leaf vine wrapped around her, she screamed in agony. The terrifying life and ice magic emanating from the ice-cold clouds forced her three-leaf vine from its summer-green leaves to its winter-blue leaves.   This magical plant was designed to produce different attributes in different seasons. Wizards used this mechanism in combat, but it could also be used against them, forcing them to transform into other attributes

.   For example, the magic left behind by the mysterious Moon Ring Witch completely suppressed the Deer Witch’s magical pressure, directly forcing her three-leaf vine to transform into its seasonal attributes.   ”The Moon Ring Witch—she’s too powerful,”   the Deer Witch said weakly.   ”What do we do now? Should we retreat? Abandon this laboratory!”   She took a half-step back, almost unable to retract her magical plant.   But at that moment, the wizard Probus, wielding the Three-Tailed Phoenix Bamboo, did something unexpected. This time, he wasn’t hunting anyone down or eliminating wizards; instead, he wielded the bamboo and slashed at the massive ice island in the sky.   Like a planetary collision,   countless orange-yellow marbles struck the ice, shattering the island into fragments that fell from the sky.   While the fragments were still large, they were manageable for the Star Ring wizards.   The Deer Witch, witnessing this, wondered, “Could it be that Probus’s echo saved us?   ” The   Lion Wizard sneered.   ”Probably just for self-preservation. If that massive ice block fell, he’d be finished.”   Locke swung his greatsword, the Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow, needing to destroy something after using the “Eliminate the Weeds” technique. The scattered ice fragments, when combined, already possessed Star Ring-level magical pressure.   The Lion and Deer Witch worked together to deal with one fragment.   The Maupassant family activated their magic array, jointly shattering a piece of ice.   The remaining falling ice fragments were quickly shattered and vanished under the strike of Locke’s great demonic sword, the Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow, leaving a deep red sword mark in the sky.   Simultaneously, he used the Great Bright Dragon Sparrow to rapidly head in a certain direction.   He was going to intercept the Moon Ring Witch,   because she was very likely a witness to what happened back then.

The Moon Ring Witch stepped onto a small hill near Despair Valley. There, a group of first-ring wizards and two second-ring wizards were conducting a spellcasting ceremony. The unprecedentedly massive cloud formation, created by gathering all the water vapor in the sky, was their doing.

The Moon Ring Witch said, “We don’t need this equipment anymore. Let’s go immediately.”

“Although the investigation team is just a bunch of nobodies, a bunch of juniors playing house, what I truly fear is the Golden Crown Mountain behind them. Let’s go.”

Three minutes later, Locke arrived.

Looking at the hilltop where only a bunch of spellcasting circles and equipment remained, but no wizards were present, he frowned. His innate magical eye appeared on his forehead, scanning the surroundings.

“Well, these are already a considerable gain. It seems many people are getting restless after news of my entry into the lab spread. After all, the lab should have complete records of everything that happened back then, recorded by the True Sight Crystal inside. What are these people so afraid of that I’ve obtained that True Sight Crystal? What are they afraid of?”

“This is far more valuable than the truth of a mere S-class experimental accident.”

“Unless—”

“Unless some big shot was involved back then. And the witch’s representative species fell into the lab earlier, adding another representative species inside. In that case, I think even more breeders will be attracted from the Rain Swamp. With my encouragement, my teacher’s order to escalate things will be even easier to fulfill.”

Locke notified his team to come and collect the witch arrays and devices here.

“I will make this place the focus and center of the entire Wizarding Land.”

“I will make all those who want to silence us, to keep us hidden, and to make this place unnoticed, give up completely.

” Locke recalled the methods of the previous Moon Ring Witch, gaining a deeper understanding of the heights that representative species and breeding science could reach.

However, a tall building starts from the ground up, and he still needed to study the Spirit Breath Cultivation Method more, at least to have a level of magical plant cultivation that would ensure he could pass the second level of the Memory World.

Let’s take it one step at a time.

Locke scanned the witch array on the ground, and at the same time, he looked back at the wizards behind him, only to see that the newcomers were not the deer and the lion, but the Red Witch.

Seeing Locke looking at her, the Red Witch said, “I also sensed the residual magical pressure left here by that Moon Ring Witch, so I rushed over to see if I could help. Such powerful magical pressure, even though she is gone, the magical pressure left here is still so domineering, as if announcing her arrival.”

The Red Witch stretched out her finger, capturing the residual magical pressure in the air, and a wisp of silvery-white magical pressure appeared on her finger.

Meanwhile, the witch Bailou rushed over.

“Mr. Augustine, where did that Moon Ring Witch go? I’ve already activated the Maupassant family’s defensive magic array. Actually, it should have been activated much earlier, but all the wizards I was responsible for activating it are dead. This must have been a coordinated attack.”

“If she were fighting alone, she wouldn’t have had enough time to deal with your barrier and the Probus wizards, how could she possibly have been distracted by silently killing five of our Maupassant family’s first-ring wizards?”

“This person’s actions have affected the entire Valley of Despair.”

The witch Bailou seemed somewhat angry.

“She completely disregards our Maupassant family and Mount Golden Crown.”

“Unfortunately—she seems to have left.”

The witch Bailou looked around, her eyes still filled with anger.

“Otherwise, I would definitely activate the defensive magic array and fight her to the death. I really don’t know why she dared to do this. How many wizards are there in the entire Valley of Despair, and two super powers are involved.”

“Locke, do you know who she is?”

the red-robed witch said. “Isn’t the reason why she dared to do this obvious? In this matter, the reputation of your Maupassant family is entirely a negative asset.” “

She dared to do this because you are dark wizards. She used large-scale magic on dark wizard territory, accidentally killing several wizards on dark wizard territory and destroying Valley of Despair. It seems quite normal.”

The red-robed witch crossed her arms and sneered, “In other words, the reputation of your Maupassant family has not only failed to protect this place and its people, but has instead become a burden. You dark wizards always think that showing off your strength is useful, but you forget that while showing off your strength, others will regard you as dangerous elements.”

“If this Moon Ring Witch had killed so many First Ring wizards elsewhere without reason to achieve her own goals, she would have been wanted by the White Wizarding Association long ago. But since she killed you Dark Wizards, it doesn’t matter.”

Bailouro Maupassant glared angrily at her. She glanced at Locke, quickly suppressing her anger, and after forcing herself to calm down, she sneered.

“I’ve long seen that you indeed look down on us Dark Wizards. But please, this Red Witch, restrain yourself a bit, because this isn’t your Triceratops Garden, but our Terrifying Fang territory.” “

Even if you look down on us, I’m afraid you’ll have to put up with it.”

The Red Witch, Mormodius, revealed a contemptuous look. She curled her lips and was about to say something, but she noticed Locke using life magic, and thus stopped speaking due to distraction.

Locke waved his hand, and magical vines immediately sprouted from the surrounding ground. These magical vines sealed off the area, preventing anyone from approaching before his survey team could get close.

Locke said to the two, “Alright, stop arguing. Nobody wants this to happen. That Moon Ring Witch appeared suddenly and left just as suddenly, leaving behind that icy continent that fell from the sky before she left.” “

However, she used a representative magical plant beforehand. With that magical plant, it will be much easier to find out her identity.” “

I’ll have my men investigate. Witch Bailouluo, if you have any clues, you can also make a deal with us.

“

Witch Bailouluo’s eyes darted around, a thoughtful look on her face.

“Hmm.

“

“I’ll consider it then.”

Locke said to her, “Besides, please send over those Star Ring Magic Plants from your Maupassant family as soon as possible. We’ve already prepared the basic work for the Spirit Breath Cultivation Method. We’re just waiting for your family to send over the magic plants we want us to imbue with mystical meaning.”

The witch Bailouluo’s attention was thus diverted, and she looked at Locke in surprise, saying, “Mr. Augustine, you’re so fast? I thought you needed several months to prepare.”

“I noticed you didn’t seem to apply for much funding from our family.”

“Is that enough?”

Locke glanced at her and said, “Your family has provided a complete set of equipment, support personnel, and a full set of Azure Spirit Stones. Thanks to these resources, my team only needs about half a month to complete the first batch of Spirit Breath Cultivation Method – Garden Cave. At that time, I will imbue three magic plants with mystical meaning.”

“The success rate of imbuing them with mystical meaning isn’t high. I’ve looked at the information on the three Star Ring Magic Plants you asked me to cultivate, and their quality is indeed somewhat low.”

“This will affect my success rate when using the Spirit Breath Cultivation Method.”

“Don’t your family’s three Star Ring Wizards have any better Star Ring Magic Plants?”

The witch Bailouluo’s face showed embarrassment.

“Mr. Augustine is right. Just understand, after all, not all wizards are like us, born into top universities, with the best resources and the best knowledge.”

Locke nodded. “That’s true.”

“It’s my responsibility to handle different material Magic Plants.”

The red-clad witch waved to Locke.

“Locke, I’ll go first. Despair Valley Laboratory is a treasure trove; I’ve discovered many things there that have inspired me.”

The red-clad witch, with her back to Locke, held up a pink petal. Locke looked at her curiously, wondering what she had discovered in Despair Valley Laboratory.

Locke pondered: “Miss Mormodis is truly a botanical genius.”

She must have made a great discovery in Despair Valley. “But my knowledge of botanical spell models is still too shallow; I didn’t understand what it meant.”

Could it be that some kind of natural magical structure useful for developing spell models was extracted from those petals?

Locke looked at the witch Bailouluo, who had given a cold snort.

Perhaps it was due to a personality clash.

Bailouluo, who usually greatly admired wizarding geniuses, was surprisingly hostile towards the cardinal Moormodis.

However, the cardinal’s attitude towards her wasn’t good either.

Ten days later, through teamwork and the time acceleration function of the Tranquil Garden, Locke completed three Hadron Bottle Garden Caverns simultaneously.

Countless bright lights gathered in his hands like fireflies in the night, and in a very short time, they coalesced into three bottle-shaped Garden Caverns in his palm.

The excessive consumption of magical pressure and spiritual awareness caused sweat to continuously drip from Locke’s forehead.

As Locke’s assistant in this Spirit Breath Cultivation Technique, Wizard Ike immediately wiped Locke’s forehead with a magical handkerchief and placed a bottle of second-circle energy-restoring potion into his magical necklace. He then used the [Palaqui Necklace] to inject the potion into Locke’s body, helping him quickly recover his magical pressure.

As Locke placed three Maupassant family magical plant seeds into the hadronic flask, the three seeds immediately took root and sprouted, and the hadronic flask began to crack.

—With

the shattering of the three hadronic flasks, three magical plants appeared before Locke’s eyes.

Locke examined the three magical plants. “Ike, you’re a wizard from our Red Dragon lineage, right? That’s why you revealed your name so soon after joining the investigation team.”

Wizard Ike nodded and said, “Yes, Captain. I’m a student of Professor Trajan.” “

It was my teacher who asked me to volunteer for this mission to assist you, Junior Uncle.”

Locke glanced at Ike, realizing the situation.

So this was definitely one of their own.

Locke said, “Then go and inform the Maupassant family to come over. Tell them that the mystical meanings of the three Star Ring Magic Plants have been fully imbued, and ask their three Star Ring Wizards to come and check them. If there are no problems, then settle my 30 million magic stones.”

Wizard Ike knew that Locke was worried that the Maupassant family would delay payment, so he smiled and said, “Okay, Junior Uncle.

“

Locke then began to review the results of his investigation team’s investigation into the identity of the mysterious Moon Ring Witch over the past ten days.

“Highly suspected to be the Moon Ring Wizard [Achinlan Aquitan] of the Voodoo Society in the Southern Witch Capital, nicknamed the White Frost Witch. Her academic achievements are outstanding. In the past, she was considered a person destined to become a Sun Ring Wizard, but in recent years she suddenly suffered a Waterloo. Therefore, she is currently at the peak of the Moon Ring Wizard, and she has maintained this state for fifty years.”

Locke read through her articles and found that the articles she published as a century-old witch in the second ring and first zone were countless, totaling more than thirty.

However, most of these articles were concentrated in the past fifty years.

In the last fifty years, she seems to have achieved little.

This White Frost Witch, Archinlan Aquitaine, even holds the highest-ranking award in breeding science—the Second Prize of the Eastern Frontier Breeding World Achievement Award.

This award is administered by the Eastern Frontier White Wizard Association’s headquarters, also known as the Starfield Sea. The minimum requirement for participation is a second-ring wizard, as the award recognizes and rewards breeding advancements with the potential to change the world. It is held every five years, awarding one first prize, five second prizes, and ten third prizes each time.

It can be said that for a breeder, winning this award signifies mastery of the field.

Every breeding project submitted to this award can, to some extent, change the world.

Only the most outstanding breeding projects can win awards in this competition. While

it’s said that only second-ring wizards can participate, in reality, only Star Ring wizards skilled in Spirit Breeding techniques can participate, and those who win are primarily Moon Ring wizards.

Therefore, Locke was momentarily lost in thought when he saw that the White Frost Witch possessed a second-place prize from the Eastern Frontier Breeding Science World Achievement Award from

over sixty years ago. This meant that back then she was only a Star Ring Wizard.

It was hard to imagine that such a genius was now only a Moon Ring Wizard.

While being a Moon Ring Wizard was already quite impressive, the problem was that expectations for her back then were clearly much higher.

Locke quickly checked the list of first-place winners for the Eastern Frontier Breeding Science World Achievement Award that the White Frost Witch had participated in.

“It was a wizard from the Razer Lowlands—the Barbarian Emperor Wizard [Brennus].”

“This wizard is now a Sun Ring Wizard. However—it states that it was a replacement, meaning that the original first-place winner that year was—the Wizard Probus?”

Locke was incredibly surprised, because that award was open to Moon Ring Wizards, but not Sun Ring Wizards.

Moreover, unlike the journals in the second ring realm, the first-place winner of this award was even rarer. Only one person in the entire Eastern Frontier can win this award every five years, and it’s usually a Moon Ring Wizard who holds the top spot.

The wizard Brunus was a Moon Ring Wizard back then.

But if the winner that year was indeed Probus, and Probus was later stripped of his first-place title for causing a shocking experimental accident in the Eastern Frontier, then Probus’s astonishing talent back then would be enough to make him unforgettable.

“For a Star Ring Wizard to surpass a Moon Ring Wizard in breeding achievements, they can’t just compete on the basics of breeding methods; they need exceptionally unique research and innovation to capture the attention of all the judges—”

Locke pondered seriously. He read the list of winners for that year’s award and tried to deduce how Probus Wizard had won against those whose names alone suggested impressive breeding achievements.

“I can’t figure it out.”

“However, if I continue to delve into Probus Wizard’s memory world, I should be able to follow his train of thought and figure it out.”

Locke issued instructions to the wizards in the investigation team within the Water Hyacinth System’s group chat: “

Investigate whether the Frost Witch and Probus Wizard have any dealings. There’s a high probability they have a story.”

Half a day later, in the Tranquil Garden, the Baroque Witch arrived with three Star Ring Wizards from her family.

Locke saw that these three had thin faces, cold eyes, and an unusually murderous aura about them.

Their faces were expressionless; even when they met his gaze and nodded in greeting, they appeared cold and aloof.

These three were likely figures who had fought their way through blood and sea, renowned and powerful.

They couldn’t be nobodies in this Rainswamp.

Locke calmly ordered the increasingly frightened wizard, Ike, to hand over the three magic boxes.

The witch Bailouluo said, “Thank you, Mr. Augustine. Thank you for imbuing our Maupassant family’s magical plants with mystical meaning. I wonder what their quality is.”

“This is the 30 million magic stones I promised you. There are 3,000 magic crystal cards in total, all stored in this astral ring. You can check them.”

“This small astral ring can hold exactly 3,000

magic crystal cards.” Astral rings can be enchanted by fusing other astral rings into one, increasing its internal space. Alchemists can also upgrade the space individually using magical resources.

Therefore, although they are all astral rings, the internal area of astral rings invested with different resources is completely different, and their value is also different.

Locke nodded and said, “These three magical plants are really too weak. The breeders of the Heavy Star Purple Eggplant and Fire Blade Mad Melon, for some unknown reason or purpose, somehow caused a conflict between the energy-locking structure and the naturally occurring magical energy components secreted by these two plants. The Locking Willow has some ingenuity, but unfortunately, its basic magical plant characteristics are too low.” “

This ingenuity is just a meaningless facade.”

The witch Bailouluo glanced back at the three black wizards, their eyes expressionless. Knowing their personalities, she knew they were angry.

However, all three were ruthless individuals who never showed their true colors; they would never reveal the slightest dissatisfaction before taking action.

The witch Bailoulu coughed and clapped, saying, “Mr. Augustine’s assessment is correct. Everyone, this is a renowned breeder from Yunze Wetlands.”

“Mr. Locke Augustine. His ratings are quite professional,”

Locke said. “That’s why I went to great lengths to ensure that the mystical meanings of the three magical plants were all of excellent quality.”

The witch Bailoulu stopped clapping, coughed, and said to Locke, “Excuse me, Mr. Augustine. What did you just say?”

Locke frowned and glanced at Ike.

The second-circle wizard Ike said, “My junior uncle said that he has endowed all three magical plants with excellent-level mystical meanings.”

The witch Bailoulu wore a complicated expression.

Even though she wasn’t a breeder, she knew what that meant.

The Maupassant family’s expectation for Locke to imbue the magical plants with mystical meanings was only that they would have an average of high-quality ordinary-level mystical meanings.

Even that was considered very high of Locke.

Moreover, it would most likely take a year to complete.

Because the mystical meanings of the magical plants cultivated through spiritual energy are often unsatisfactory, repeated cultivation is necessary, resulting in enormous costs in both time and resources.

The three Star Ring Black Wizards, who had initially been summoned by the Witch Bailouluo and were about to leave with their magical plants, suddenly changed their expressions towards Locke. Their previously cold eyes filled with warmth in a very short time.

One of the Black Wizards bowed to Locke, his tone full of chivalrous loyalty: “Master Augustine, you truly live up to your reputation. I am Wizard Ambow.”

“It is my honor to befriend you today.”

“We three brothers would like to invite you to the Witch’s Kitchen for a drink. We must serve the finest wizard’s wine and the most delicious food!
