Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 318

Chapter 316 Cruel Behind-the-Scenes Deal

Locke collected himself and said, “But Dean, can a crystallized wizard curse me from a distance?”

Dean Earl Thompson laughed and said, “Of course not. The gap between first-ring wizards isn’t that big. Even a second-ring wizard can’t kill you without having seen you or had any contact with you.”

“But in fact, you did have a flaw, and you leaked it to the female leader of the Ghost Holy Church.”

“You killed one of her official wizards. The Ghostly Holy Church is different from other wizard organizations. The entire dark wizard organization actually belongs to her alone. All wizards of the Ghostly Holy Church must separate a piece of their soul during their student stage and place it into their magical weapon, the Soul Torch. From then on, their life and death are controlled by the leader of the Ghostly Holy Church.”

“But it’s actually a combination spell,” Dean Earl Thompson explained. “You killed one of her first-ring wizards, and your soul will remain in that soul torch. With this, she can perform a ritual magic on you and drag you into the River Styx.”

“You only have one chance.”

“Similarly, she can do the same to anyone who kills one of her first-ring wizards. Therefore, the Soul Torch is both a magical weapon to protect the official wizards of the Ghostly Holy Church and a trap to eliminate the enemies of the Ghostly Holy Church.”

“Even if someone kills a wizard of the Ghost Holy Church, the Ghost Holy Church’s crystallized wizards can use this to kill the wizard who killed their official wizard.”

“Honestly, you shouldn’t kill a Necromancer so casually. Necromancers are the best at saving their lives. Not only are they good at saving their lives, but they’re also good at taking away the person who killed them before they die.”

Dean Earl Thompson instructed Locke.

Locke couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. It turned out that this was the problem.

Because I didn’t understand the insidiousness of ghost studies, I stepped into the opponent’s trap. Fortunately, I have a wizard organization behind me, otherwise it would have been a relatively unsolvable situation for me.

Locke asked, “Dean, I thank you again. But are you staying in this building the whole time?”

Dean Earl Thompson smiled and said, “Yes. This is a trap set specifically for those dark wizards, but I must stay in this building and save the situation at the critical moment.”

“To prevent the situation from getting out of control.” Dean Earl Thompson glanced at Locke and said, “Besides, the situation did show signs of getting out of control before.”

“I was about to give up on the plan, but you surprised me. So I convinced the academy’s leadership to place our hopes on your proposed ecological transformation plan. And just as I expected, you completed the task perfectly.”

Dean Earl Thompson smiled and said, “I knew you could do it. You’re worthy of being an outstanding graduate of our Lilith Lodge.”

“This is actually a deal. The White Wizard Association has made huge concessions in terms of resources. That’s why we agreed to use our Lilith Cottage as an important battlefield node in the battle between the White Wizard Association and the Black Wizard Alliance.”

Dean Earl Thompson’s face turned serious. “It’s just that the losses are even greater than we imagined.”

“The number of dark wizards in the southeastern region has grown so rapidly.”

Dean Earl Thompson muttered to himself, “It’s time to start a great purge. What happened in the past will happen again. What has happened in the past will happen again.”

“History is a circle.”

“Our Lilith Cottage suffered a heavy loss this time. I didn’t make as much money as I thought from this deal.”

Locke realized that there seemed to be some information hidden in it that he was not qualified to know at the moment.

Therefore, he keenly realized from the words of the dean that there seemed to be some connection between the black wizard society and the white wizard society.

Indeed, he should have realized before that it was impossible for a wizarding world to have two seemingly completely different and isolated societies for no reason.

The dark wizard society and the white wizard society are like two completely isolated worlds.

But this is unreasonable. Even if there is a historical period when two camps are formed in a wizarding world, generally speaking, this period is unlikely to last too long.

Moreover, the gap in social structure between the two camps should not be as large as it is now.

There must be some connection between the black wizard society and the white wizard society. The two societies should have been the same society a long time ago.

I just don’t know whether the White Wizarding Society became independent from the Black Wizarding Society, or whether the Black Wizarding Society became independent from the White Wizarding Society.

After Locke learned the truth, he couldn’t help but sigh that it was a good thing that he was currently a first-ring wizard, not a wizard apprentice.

Otherwise, he might not even have the right to know the truth at this moment, and he would have thought that his academy was attacked by dark wizards. Unexpectedly, this attack was actually something planned for a long time by the White Wizards Association.

Many deals are being made in corners that you are unaware of.

Dean Earl Thompson grew serious. “If this plan succeeds, it will severely damage the Dark Wizards. I estimate that the Southeastern Region will be in the midst of a large-scale war for the next fifty years.”

“The Association has completely broken off relations with those dark wizards.”

“But it doesn’t matter. Over the past fifteen years, the Association has been gradually launching a wartime economy. Using our need for development as an excuse, they misled the Dark Wizarding Society, making the Dark Wizarding Alliance mistakenly believe that we feared war. This led to the breakdown of our society’s funding chain, total bankruptcy, and the complete degradation of our industry.”

“But in reality, we are forcing the Dark Wizards to engage in small-scale wars with us, which will then gradually turn into medium-scale wars. When our wartime economy is fully established, it will be time to launch a full-scale war, and that is now.”

Dean Earl Thompson stated a harsh truth in a calm tone. “At the same time, we have established a comprehensive industrial replacement chain to ensure that even in the event of a full-scale war, the economic impact on us is minimized.”

“The dark wizards have completely fallen into our calculations. It now seems that their numbers and power are indeed too great.”

Dean Earl Thompson looked up, his gaze seemingly piercing the ceiling of the underground building as he observed the gruesome battle between the White and Dark wizards. “The Great Purge should have been launched ten years earlier.”

At this time, on the battlefield, the black wizards were fighting with the official wizards of the white wizards. In addition to the official wizards of Lilith’s Hut, the white wizards also had the official wizards of Verdantia University, Four Seasons Garden, Niflheim University in the North, Secret Fire Academy and Valerian University of Spells who had been hiding in the dark.

The six parties united to collectively strangle the wizards of the Dark Wizard Alliance inside the [Cross Seal of the Holy Sword of Light].
