Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 333

Chapter 331 Gift of Magical Weapon: Eternal Invisibility Cloak

Locke was stunned for a moment, then pushed the cup of witch tomato juice that Madam Irina had offered him in front of her. “Senior Irina, please, can you tell me how to crack the Nigward astrology system?”

Mrs. Irina looked at the witch tomato juice that she paid for, which was pushed in front of her by Locke as a reward for her, and she couldn’t help but feel a little amused.

She laughed a few times, and the relationship between the two became more harmonious.

Only people of the same class can afford to joke.

Being able to joke is a key signal of a deepening relationship.

It is also a way to quickly build closer relationships.

Of course, it depends on what class you are in and what class the other person is in before you can use this method. Otherwise, if you take the initiative to make a joke, it may be seen as a provocation by the other person.

Madam Irina shook her head helplessly and smiled at Locke, “You’re the only one who can come and reward me with the things I bought. But, this is also good. I was worried that you have a serious personality, so I was a little reserved when speaking.”

“But I didn’t expect that the notorious Eye Demon Wizard actually has such an active personality.”

Locke said, “Senior Irina, that’s all the misunderstandings of me from the outside world.”

“It’s all stereotypes.”

Madam Irina nodded in agreement, saying, “Indeed, I’ve always been quite active among my fellow disciples. I enjoy working with others and relying on capable seniors. Oh, and now I have a talented junior like you.”

“But because I always keep a straight face in front of the students, many people misunderstand me.” Lady Irina sighed regretfully. “Actually, I’m only in my fifties, which is the prime of life for a formal wizard, and I’m quite young.”

Madam Irina said, “But I can’t get along with those students.”

“So, I had no choice but to let them misunderstand me and go down.”

Locke nodded, “It’s okay, our friends know what kind of person you are, that’s all.”

Madam Irina said, “Let’s get back to the topic.”

“Locke, the name Nigward, when translated into the several magical languages of their school of prophecy, means citizens of the Mist Nation. This system is built upon the corpse of a giant world serpent from a small to medium-sized world conquered by the White Wizard Association in the Southeastern Corner during its early years.”

“That World Serpent is a strange snake that coils around that small or medium-sized world. The inhabitants of that world live on it and call themselves the Children of the Mist.”

“The White Wizard Association named that snake the Giant Serpent of the Mist Country.”

Madam Irina said, “The Nigward Astrology System is extremely powerful. In fact, even if you leave the Southeastern Region and travel to a nearby wizarding land, you might still be able to use it. The Association prohibits its use simply because they fear it might cause disputes with other wizarding lands.”

“But in fact, as far as I know, there are quite a few First-Ring wizards who secretly crack the system and use it in neighboring wizarding lands. The Association is well aware of this, but they just don’t take it seriously. As long as you don’t get caught, you’ll be fine. But if you are caught, things will become very troublesome.”

Madam Irina blinked. “So, it’s best not to tell anyone what I’m telling you. It won’t do you any good.”

“You just have to pretend you know nothing.”

Locke suddenly understood. “I see.”

Doesn’t that mean that the Nigward astrological system is built on a small or medium-sized world?

No wonder this system is so powerful that it can use prophecy magic to connect most of the first-ring wizards in the southeast corner.

Madam Irina said, “There are many research groups responsible for the Nigward astrology system, and the membership structure is complex, so there are many loopholes. However, to modify the system from within, we need to find an outstanding wizard from the school of prophecy.”

“That would require a relatively high cost, and it would be easily discovered. Therefore, apart from the wizards within their school of prophecy, basically no one would do this.”

“There are always more solutions than problems.” Lady Irina pulled out a soft invisibility cloak from her astral ring. “I have a shop that specializes in ‘gray’ items, and I have a special magic tool that can solve this problem.”

Madam Irina pointed to the silver-gray invisibility cloak on the table and said to Locke, “This is the Eternal Invisibility Cloak, a first-ring magic item, a magic weapon.”

“Alchemists crafted it from the feathers of an invisible bird. Crucially, it’s coated with an alchemical material called Absorption Membrane No. 81.”

“I’ve forgotten the specific scientific name, but it’s an alchemical material developed by a First Ring Official Alchemist specifically to circumvent the limitations of the Nigward Astrological System.”

“You know it, right? Alchemy is about changing material. It creates new magical materials by adjusting the arrangement of elemental particles, combining magical materials of different levels, or other methods.”

“Magic alloy is only the simplest of all, but it is also the mainstream of alchemy. Therefore, the main focus of the alchemy assistant at this stage is on researching magic alloy.”

“When you reach the first ring level, you become a formal alchemist. In addition to developing better magical alloys, you will also develop new magical materials, such as special films, special metals, high-energy polymers, and so on.”

“Of course, I don’t understand any of this. I just run a dozen alchemy workshops,” said Madam Irina. “Once you put on this magical invisibility cloak, secretly coated with a special film number 81, the Nigward astrological system will be unable to determine your location.”

“The Nigward Astrology System works by activating it, releasing a slight magical wave in the surrounding area. The magical wave then reflects back to confirm your approximate location. It’s not a specific location, just a very broad one, and then confirms whether you’re still in the southeast corner.”

“But once you put on this invisibility cloak, the film on the clothes will absorb the slight magical fluctuations emitted when you activate the system. The Nigward astrological system will not be able to confirm your location, and then you can use it in other wizarding lands.”

Mrs. Irina said: “This system is quite useful, so it would be a waste not to use it.”

“Once you put on this invisibility cloak, the Nigward Astrology System won’t be able to detect your location. Then, you won’t be able to use this system unless you reach the limit of its range.”

“This invisibility cloak is a gift from me,” said Madam Irina. “The cloak itself is not valuable, only worth about a thousand magic stones. The invisibility magic enchanted on it is very ordinary and crudely made. It is basically impossible to deceive anyone at the first-ring wizard stage, so the price cannot be measured by the standard magic tools.”

“The valuable part is the No. 81 absorption membrane on it. In my shop, it’s not uncommon for a set of this invisible cloak to sell for ten thousand magic stones.”

Locke raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect that the selling price of this gray item would be so outrageous.

He also understood why Lady Irina didn’t have a deep understanding of alchemy.

Because the field of magic has developed to this point, it has become extremely vast and profound.

For example, Potions alone has dozens of branches, and there are even more small branches further down.

In fact, the same is true for breeding. Some breeding wizards only specialize in studying a small category of magical plants, and there are hundreds of such categories.

Every year, new sub-disciplines are born in these two fields and new disruptive theories emerge.

The magical realm is so vast, like the ocean, inexhaustible.

Just like the truth.

In this era of the heyday of wizarding civilization, being a jack of all trades is no longer possible, nor is it desirable or necessary.

It would be a waste of time for a person to learn so many parallel fields of knowledge, so it is normal that Lady Irina doesn’t know much about the field of alchemy.

Locke only learned some basic industry knowledge in other fields from the Everything Course and by reading some popular science magazines and articles.

At present, he has been studying four fields: botany, breeding, alchemy, and archaeology. The knowledge systems of the four fields are all connected in series. Even with the synthetic Rubik’s Cube to simplify the learning difficulty for himself, there is no need to add new learning fields.

At least for now, there is no such demand.

Anyway, even if you need some knowledge in other subjects, you can find a wizard from the general education school, who is the wizard who truly trains all-rounders in this era.

Find out from them which part of the article you currently need and ask them to recommend some book lists.

If you just need some items, just buy them.

Locke accepted the invisibility cloak. Since Madam Irina wanted to give it to him, there was no reason for him to refuse. “Thank you, Senior.”

Madam Irina smiled slightly. “We can keep in touch more often on the Gray Mist Slate in the future.”
