Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 304

Chapter 302: Transformed into a Forest Ecosystem

Witch Gabriel quickly realized that now was not the time to talk about these things. In fact, she was in a more dangerous situation than the average formal wizard because her permanent defensive force field was an auxiliary type of magic – Arcane Prophecy.

If you say this magic is powerful, it is very powerful. If you say it is not powerful, it is not powerful either.

Anyway, on the front battlefield, at least we can’t be a turtle.

Witch Gabriel changed her tone and said to Locke, “Locke, it’s great that you’ve become a formal wizard. Currently, most of the first-ring wizards in Lilith’s hut are not in this academy.”

“Madam Morgana, Instructor Harlan Vera, the five senior advisors, and the dean are not in this academy.”

“Currently, there are only two senior advisors in Lilith’s cabin, and including you and me, there are only nine official wizards.”

“The two senior advisors and those First Ring wizards were targeted by the dark wizards and trapped. But fortunately, the First Ring wizards had permanent defensive force fields, and they had all chosen First Ring defensive magic. Therefore, they were only temporarily entangled and their lives were not in danger for the time being.”

“Our academy’s large defense force field has been manually shut down, but the smaller defense force fields in various divisions are still open, so we can barely maintain defense.”

Locke frowned, clearly feeling something was wrong.

As a large wizarding organization, Lilith Lodge has dozens of first-ring wizards, but at this moment there are only nine official first-ring wizards left at the headquarters.

This is obviously weird.

At this time, the voice of Francis’s advisor appeared in the Nibelungen Astrology System, “Locke? You actually became an official wizard?”

Advisor Francis’ voice sounded a little nervous; he must be battling a dark wizard. “Great! Even though there are hundreds of official wizards on the other side, one more official wizard means a little more hope in this situation.”

Another voice appeared within the astrology system. It was that of the Sacrificial Potion Preparer, Claudia Forbes. The old witch Forbes said, “Locke, you are the only one who has not been targeted by the dark wizards. Therefore, you have the opportunity to go to the Garden System headquarters and restart our defense field.”

“Before those dark wizards destroy the core device of our defense field.”

“Currently, the dark wizards are besieging the potion storage facility in Lilith’s hut, which I am protecting, as well as the potion material storage facility protected by Senior Advisor Francis. Although we can hold our own for now, over time, we will surely be broken.”

“The dark wizards’ attack this time was truly too fierce,” Claudia Forbes said. “But if you can restart the large life force field protection device, we can keep the dark wizards out and wait for the dean and his men to return.”

Advisor Francis asked, “Locke, what is the permanent defense field magic you are using?”

Locke hesitated for a moment and said, “Life force field.”

A hint of joy appeared in Advisor Francis’ voice. “A wise choice.”

“Great! Since your permanent defense field is a life force field, your chances of completing this mission will be very high.”

Witch Gabriel said, “I can use the astrology system to send you the map information for restarting the defense system.”

“Our defense system was shut down by the first-class wizard apprentice Angron. It seems that Angron has used the tools he has to find a way to shut down the defense system.”

Locke nodded. “I can try, but there’s no guarantee of success.”

“By the way, how are the wizard seeds in the academy doing now?”

Witch Gabriel said, “Alas, those wizard seeds are facing targeted hunting. This time the dark wizards are coming with great force. It seems that the Dark Wizard Alliance wants to go to war with the White Wizard Association.”

“The southeastern corner will never be peaceful again.”

Witch Gabriel reminded Locke, “There is another problem. Due to the Dark Wizards Alliance’s independent transformation of this area, the plants in this area seem to have gone on strike.”

“The elements have lost their balance, causing many crises, but those crises are only minor incidents that destroy the city. More importantly, the power of plant magic will decrease.”

“The longer it takes, the more powerful your botanical wizards’ plant magic will become due to the lack of wood elemental particles.”

Locke sensed his current magic and found that there was no decrease in mana. He frowned slightly and soon figured out the reason.

Yes, he could use the magic of the forest sanctuary and the prototype of a forest composed of six red holly trees to gain the blessing of his own forest.

In other words, he himself was a forest ecosystem. He could utilize the forest sanctuary in the forbidden forest to replenish his wood elemental particles, without having to rely on the wood elemental particles in the environment.

This is a small advantage of mine.

Unexpectedly, being in the current special environment would actually become an advantage.

Locke’s understanding of plant magic deepened. “By transforming myself into a forest ecosystem, I am like a walking forest, possessing a stronger ability to adapt to the environment.”

‘This is one of the development directions of botanical magic, but it does not seem to be a common development direction for botanical magic wizards in the southeast corner.’

Most botanical magic wizards still see themselves as part of the ecosystem, but they use plant magic and powerful magical plants to strengthen themselves and enhance their status as individual individuals within an ecosystem.

In other words, try to make yourself a relatively powerful biological individual in the ecosystem.

Because Locke used the forest sanctuary as his permanent defense field, he chose to turn himself into an ecosystem.

Locke walked in the city, following the prophetic magic given to him by Witch Gabriel, bypassing one undead legion after another in front of him and heading towards the underground body of the defense device in the port city.

Even if he encountered a small-scale enemy, Locke only needed to deploy the life force field barrier and rely on the anti-necromancy properties of the life force field to eliminate those ghosts, skeletons, ghouls, and dark wizard apprentices.

Along the way, Locke felt that he was lucky enough not to encounter the other side’s official wizards.

He was now very close to the underground device of Lilith’s hut’s defense system.

But at this moment, Locke was walking in a narrow alley when his left arm suddenly became hot and a bat pattern appeared on his arm.

“It’s that Stanley guy’s curse.”

“Because it was a first-level curse from a first-level wizard, that’s why it wasn’t removed from my body before.”

Stanley’s voice came from a distance. “Look what I found! Augustine, you’re still alive? How did you manage to escape from so many of our wizard seeds? And they even have the six-fold curse barrier I personally crafted!”

“Haha, that’s fine. I can kill you with my own hands.”

“Hahaha, do you feel the fear? Being hunted by a First Ring Wizard, your academy can no longer protect you. You… wait a minute… what? When did you become a formal wizard?”
