Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 282

Chapter 280 Augustus Series Magic Plant

Chapter 280 Augustus Series Magic Plant
Claudia Forbes nodded to Locke and said, “Okay, you have received the sacrificial potion.”

“I hope you can abide by the contract. If you violate it, you will be hunted down by the association. The association’s high-level contracts are usually protected by powerful curse magic.”

Old Witch Forbes raised her brows and said, “That’s guaranteed by a [Cursed Aztec Corn Gold Coin] kept at the association’s headquarters.”

“That cursed gold coin will instantly flip and release its curse if a certain agreement is violated, making it the perfect magical item for guaranteeing contracts,” Old Witch Forbes whispered. “However, the corn coin is a second-level item, so ordinary contracts can’t reach this level.”

Locke took a look at the contract he had signed before, the association’s high-level confidentiality contract. In the blank space, there was a strange gold coin pattern. In the center of the gold coin was a figure of a corn in the sky. In the engraving of the gold coin, the corn was still bleeding to the earth.

Locke thought carefully about the connection between curse magic and magic contract, and found that the two are indeed closely related. Curse magic can be used to achieve the magical effect of maintaining the protection contract.

He sighed, “I didn’t expect that curse magic can not only be used to deal with enemies, but also have such a strange use.”

The old witch Forbes smiled and said, “Yes.”

“There are no specialized contract masters in the southeastern region, but in many places, there are contract masters who specialize in studying the curse magic sub-direction of the psychic school.”

“The magical contracts drawn up by these contractors are very effective, but they can only be found in wizarding lands of relatively high magical levels. This requires a higher level of social division of labor. Otherwise, it would be impossible for ordinary individual wizards to learn a wizarding profession that specializes in serving certain specific fields and purposes.”

Claudia Forbes said, “Generally speaking, magic contracts created by curse magic can be removed by us potion masters ourselves.”

“But this magical contract, protected by the second-ring item, the Aztec Gold Coin, is something that even we potion masters are powerless to change.”

“Okay, student, please go now. I have to be busy. I have to brew a batch of potions for the academy’s senior management soon.”

Locke bowed to the old witch Forbes and left.

He went to the potion auction. Today was the day of the large potion auction held every six months at Lilith Cottage.

Although Lilith Cottage may hold several small auctions every month, this kind of large-scale auction is basically only held at two fixed times of the year. Those who can enter the venue must at least be first-class wizard apprentices.

By then, many official wizards from the Southeast Corner will come to participate. In essence, this is a region-wide event held by Lilith Lodge for the Southeast Corner.

It also reflects the status of Lilith’s Hut in the southeast corner.

The main purpose of participating is to use the 200,000 magic stones in my hand to purchase enough magic resources.

At present, the common magic resources in the Chimera Market are already mediocre for me. It is basically useless to eat them. It is better to take more Eye Demon Lord potions.

But at this giant auction, there will definitely be magical resources that can help you get to where you are today.

Moreover, this is a grand event of Lilith Lodge. As a student of Lilith Lodge, I should at least see it.

In front of the Magic Potion Auction Hall, the auction traders stood at the door, welcoming all guests.

A trader who was familiar with Locke smiled and said to him, “Potion Master Augustine, welcome to the potion auction at Lilith’s Cottage. This is your first time to participate in our academy’s own large-scale auction.”

“You can go to any seat in the auction hall except for the private rooms. Only first-ring wizards have the right to rent the private rooms…”

Among the crowd of wizards entering the auction entrance, the green witch Christine suddenly walked out.

Christine came over, greeted Locke, and said, “Locke, are you coming to this auction?”

Locke was slightly surprised, so he turned around and saluted the Green Witch. “Senior, you are here too.”

The green witch Christine smiled slightly and said, “Of course. I’m here on behalf of Four Seasons Garden to take pictures of the precious potion.”

“Lilith Cottage is better at potions than Four Seasons Garden, while Four Seasons Garden has a slight advantage in botanical magic. At the auction, there might be some very rare potions that are very useful to first-ring wizards.”

Christine said to Locke, “Locke, why don’t you come with me? We at Four Seasons Garden have rented a private room at the auction, which gives us priority in the auction. Given the same price, our room wins. Furthermore, within the room, we have the special privilege of viewing the next three auction items first.”

Locke naturally had no objection. “Okay, Senior.”

“Thank you very much.”

The Green Witch Christine, after signing the first contract with herself last year, signed another contract with herself to purchase the Eye of Perseus lichen for 10,000 magic stones.

After all, the main enemy of the Four Seasons Garden, the Bone Cult, although not very good at curse magic, is best at the bone magic in the spiritualism school. There are some small curse magics in the bone magic that weaken the negative energy. The Eye of Perseus can still be very useful to the Bone Cult.

When the trader saw that Locke knew the Green Witch, he said nothing more and just made a gesture of invitation.

When Christine, the Green Witch, and Locke walked into the magic potion auction together, Christine said to Locke, “Junior, I’ve recently been trying to convince the senior consultants at Four Seasons Garden to allow me to purchase your magic plant, the Emerald Iris Lichen.”

“If it succeeds, it will probably be a relatively large order.”

Locke thanked Christine and said, “Thank you, Senior Sister. Over the past year, you have helped me open up a lot of sales channels, and I have gained some fame among many wizarding organizations in the southeast corner.”

The green witch Christine said to Locke, “We are from the same school and have the same wizard mentor, so I am naturally more willing to help you.”

“We’re helping each other. When I was with Teacher Harlan Vera, we often helped each other in this way.”

“Besides, the quality of your work is indeed good.” Christine smiled and said, “I am very satisfied with all your works. Perhaps in the future, you can create a brand for all your works.”

“This will make it more convenient to sell it later.”

The green witch Christine said, “How about calling yourself Augustus Mozhi? I’ve transcribed your last name using ancient Epirus. It means ancient, wise, and glorious.”

“It’s your last name, actually.”

“If you have no objection, I’ll help you promote it. These works of yours can already be considered a series, which will make it easier for me to convince the senior consultants of Four Seasons Garden.”

The Green Witch looked at Locke. “Of course, that depends largely on your personal opinion.”

“By the way, the accompanying spell for the Eye of Perseus Lichen Shield that you authorized us to develop has been completed after nine months of hard work.”

Christine said, “I almost forgot. I want to pass on this spell I developed to you.”

She pulled a magic book from her astral ring and handed it to Locke. “This is a 0.9-level [Lichen Shield]. The original is a 0.5-level [Moss Shield].”

“You already knew how to use Moss Shield, so you should be able to learn this quickly.”

“Because we developed this spell ourselves and paid for all the resources, according to the contract we signed earlier, Locke, you only have the right to use and learn it, but you cannot teach it to others privately.”

Green Witch Christine smiled at Locke. “Of course, that’s just an explanation. As long as you don’t spread this spell around the Four Seasons Garden area and influence our project team, you can recoup your investment by selling it.”

“We don’t care whether it spreads elsewhere or not. Our project team doesn’t want to easily conflict with the original author of the Eye of Perseus lichen.”

Locke nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Senior Sister.”
