Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 22

Chapter 22 The Dark Wizard Attacks

Two days later, Locke embedded two navy blue jades into the gold ring in the room inside the wizard ship, and continuously stored the two navy blue jades with full magic power.

In this way, including the navy blue jade he synthesized a day ago, he wore three navy blue jade gold rings and had an extra 30 mana points.

With 10 mana points, you can release the Hand of Vine about five times in total. An extra 30 mana points means you can release the Hand of Vine an additional 15 times.

This can be said to be a very critical improvement in combat.

This means that while wizard apprentices of the same level still need to calculate their mana, use spells reasonably, and spend every spell on the blade, he has already initially achieved spell freedom and can continuously attack the enemy by relying on numbers.

The only problem is that the number of spells in his spell pool is too small, and he cannot take advantage of the large amount of extra mana reserves.

“All the gems we brought aboard are gone,” Locke sighed. “We’ll have to get off the wizard ship and find a way to buy more.”

“The navy jade should also be a consumable item. I don’t know how long one piece can be used.”

Locke looked at his palms. At that time, he wore five gold rings made of dark blue sapphires on his left hand and three gold rings made of navy blue sapphires on his right hand. The fluctuations of his magic power had become so stable as if there were no fluctuations at all.

Locke picked up a wooden cup placed on the lid of the wooden barrel in front of him. The water in the cup began to rotate under the influence of his magic power.

“The mana centrifugal extraction technology has been mastered.”

“very good.”

Someone knocked on the door of his room, and Lawn Guerrero’s voice came from the door, “Locke, it’s time for dinner. Let’s go to the deck to eat.”

Lawn Guerrero, the kind third-class wizard apprentice whom he met when he, Patty, Code and others first boarded the ship.

Locke lived in a room below the deck of the wizard ship for a day, and only then did he discover that Lawn Guerrero, who also had level three qualifications, lived on the same floor as him.

After a few interactions, neither of them was socially anxious, so they quickly became familiar with each other and had a good relationship.

Strangely enough, from the moment they stepped onto the wizard’s ship, the rules and regulations here have been dividing people into categories.

Wizarding youngsters of the same caliber would live together.

This resulted in the emergence of seven circles on the wizard ship within just two days, and also resulted in Locke not becoming friends with Patty and Code, but instead becoming a new friend with Lawn Guerrero who lived on the same floor.

Life is probably like this. At different stages, there will be different people walking with you.

Before, Locke had a good relationship with Patty and Code only because they were the only three wizard seedlings on Corfu Island. But now, there are hundreds of wizard seedlings from all sides on the wizard ship, which has led to the emergence of new friends and forced them to neglect old friends.

Locke opened the door and saw Ron Guerrero holding two plates. “I can already smell the delicious food on the deck.”

“We have limited time to get on deck. Let’s go, Locke.”

“I’ve got your plate.”

Locke looked at Lawn Guerrero helplessly, “Lawn, you’re too familiar. We’ve only known each other for two days.”

Ron Guerrero said, “That just proves we are destined to be together.”

“From the first moment you came aboard, I knew we were compatible.”

Locke followed Lawn Guerrero, who, according to Lawn himself, was from the continent of Schleswig and was the eldest son of the Emperor of the Obsidian Empire on the island of Schleswig.

According to the traditions of their mortal world, he should have been the heir to the empire, the next emperor, but he was detected to have wizard qualifications.

Laun told Locke that there was no wizarding junior college disguised as a school on the island of Schleswig.

The wizards there served the emperor directly, forming the Wizarding Council that helped his father rule the empire.

The Council of Elders of Wizards on the island of Schleswig immediately abolished his right to the throne because of his wizard qualifications and guided him on the path of seeking truth.

Laun’s personality is exactly that of a ranger. He likes to help others, so he is very satisfied with this arrangement.

Locke also felt that Lawen’s personality was not like that of a wizard apprentice, but more like a ranger swordsman. On this wizard ship, most wizard apprentices had gloomy faces, were taciturn, and always vigilantly observed their surroundings.

But Lawn is carefree and likes to talk to people.

As a result, many wizard apprentices thought that Lawen had some special purpose and did not want to talk to him.

Only a few wizard apprentices like myself would pay attention to him.

Many long oak tables and beech stools have been placed on the deck of the wizard ship. The long tables are filled with rich food, ranging from roast suckling pig, to truffle and wild mushroom risotto, vanilla baked lobster with saffron foam, to black truffle cream mushroom soup and so on.

Lawn had already picked up a piece of steak and started to eat it. He devoured the large piece of steak in no time, then grabbed two roasted chicken legs and ate them without even chewing.

Locke raised his eyebrows. There was a reason why Lawn was such a big eater.

According to Lawn, he himself said that he seemed to be a great knight, and he was also a knight genius.

The mortal worlds on different islands are truly completely different, judging from Locke’s intentional or unintentional communications with the third-level wizard apprentices over the past two days.

The mortal world of each island is different. For example, the island of Schleswig where Lawn is located has an extraordinary profession that does not exist in the mortal world of Corfu – the knight.

It is said that this is because two hundred years ago, the wizards who went to Schleswig Island were wizard apprentices from the Tower of Distortion, which was in the direction of life magic.

They specially designed an extraordinary profession called the [Knight] profession for the mortal world of Schleswig Island. By implanting life seeds, they can artificially create extraordinary organs in the human body, giving the human body super physical strength.

This is essentially an alternative human blood modification surgery, just like the stone crab blood modification that Locke helped Professor Old do to the human body.

There are other mortal worlds, and even worlds that are not in the Middle Ages, but rather resemble the Renaissance of a previous life, with steam engines, coal mines, and early ancient trains.

In short, the southeast corner is the real continent, and those mortal worlds are just large islands scattered on the ocean in the southeast corner.

Because each island is separated by the endless mysterious sea, it has developed differently, like an independent world.

Lawn looked at Locke and asked curiously, “Locke, aren’t you going to eat?”

“Eat quickly, or the food will be gone.”

Locke nodded to the female wizard apprentice in front of him who also had third-level qualifications, then picked up a piece of steak and put it on his plate.

Locke slowly finished a piece of steak, some broccoli, and a small piece of bread with strawberry jam. Then he asked Laun, “How many days do you think it will take for us to actually reach the wizarding world?”

Laun shook his head. “I don’t know. I heard the wizard ship is returning soon. There are almost a thousand wizard apprentices here.”

Locke nodded.

The wizard seedlings on the wizard ship will eventually be assigned to different wizard organizations.

The wizard ship will stop at different locations in the southeast corner, and the wizard seedlings will disembark in batches.

This means that some wizard seedlings should have been assigned by the major wizard mentors from the southeast corner.

However, they haven’t seen any wizard mentors come down to assign tasks to their third-level wizard seedlings recently.

I guess he will deal with them only after he has assigned all the wizard apprentices on the deck.

It’s not their turn yet.

After Locke finished packing his things and was about to return to the room below the deck, there was a sudden vibration above the deck, and many wizard apprentices fell down due to the sudden vibration.

Then, Locke turned his head and saw that above the deck, Jarvis and dozens of other wizard mentors suddenly walked onto the deck one by one and walked towards them.

Locke suddenly felt something was wrong.

A wizard mentor used magic to amplify his voice and shouted towards them, “Be careful, use magic to protect yourself.”

The next moment, countless black fogs appeared above the wizard ship. The originally sunny artificial sky quickly darkened, and the artificial sun lost its light, like a solar eclipse.

The wizard ship continued to shake, and countless zombies fell from the black fog in the sky as if it were raining.

The young wizards screamed in terror.

And in the sky, in the black fog, there seemed to be many wizards hiding.

They laughed.

“Haha…are these the future talents of our Southeastern Region? They’re really not that good. They panicked when they encountered a little black magic. What can we expect from you in the future?”

“The foolish and hypocritical white wizards of the Southeast Corner have trained you to such a state. It would be better for them to hand these young talents over to us black wizards to train them properly.”

“White wizards, according to the rules, half of the wizard seedlings should be given to us black wizards.”

“Grab him for me!”

Jarvis and other wizard mentors shouted.

“Oh no! Those dark wizards want to snatch us away. Stop them quickly. These are the talents cultivated by our White Wizard Association. We can’t let them take them away for nothing.”

“Stop them quickly.”

All of a sudden, all kinds of black magic emerged from the black fog in the sky, and wizard mentors such as Jarvis also used fire magic, water magic and other magic to fight back.

The zombies fought against water element, fire element, lightning and ice.

On the deck, Locke saw a second-level wizard apprentice being knocked into the sea by a zombie. Then a black mist came down from the sky and kidnapped the person with a loud laugh.

“Hahahaha, this little girl belongs to our Scavenger Cemetery today.”

“I will train her to be an outstanding dark wizard. You hypocrites, you will suffer in the future.”
