Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 338

Chapter 336 The Origin of the Magic Stone

Locke spoke directly, “I want to send my resume to Xingyu Hai, and the method I choose is blind submission.”

This means submitting your resume to all wizard academies in the Star Domain Sea that have opened channels for accepting blind applications.

Although resumes sent through the blind channel should be given different attention than resumes sent through the one-to-one channel.

But this is the best option when there is no target school.

Just submit them all and see if you get a reply.

Otherwise, the efficiency of submitting resumes would be too slow.

Hussein pointed at Locke and said briefly, “Same as him.”

He seemed to be afraid of being recognized as a dark wizard, so he spoke briefly and didn’t say much.

The old wizard from the Dispatching Department was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the two men in surprise. He sensed a magical pressure far exceeding his own from these two much younger wizards, and a flash of realization crossed his eyes. “This is incredible. Two wizards are applying to the Star Domain Sea at once.”

“The young man who can invest in this wizarding land must have great ambitions.”

“In the past three years, there was a young first-ring witch who submitted her resume to me for three consecutive years. In the end, she actually received an invitation from the Star Region Sea.”

The official wizard from the Seven-Colored Star Garden looked at the two of them in surprise. He knew that the goals of these two people were not on the same level as his from the beginning.

However, those who can become official wizards at this age are basically people with strong wills, so this official wizard did not have many mood swings and immediately regained his inner peace.

He just nodded politely and greeted Locke and Hussein.

Other people’s affairs have nothing to do with him. He just needs to move forward steadily towards his goal and see his own progress every day.

He thought that the two young first-ring wizards he met in the Dispatching Department should think the same.

The old wizard from the Dispatching Department pondered for a moment. “So, sending a resume to Star Ocean will cost… 3,000 magic stones.”

Locke thought the price was acceptable. After all, the Augustus brand he owned was enough to earn him more than 60,000 magic stones every month, and he still had 50,000 in savings.

Even though he hasn’t made much money from the projects he’s working on recently because of the previous war, he’s not short of money for the time being.

As long as there is no excessive spending, such as buying a boat ticket to the Star Sea, or bidding for a Druid Ring.

At present, the Potion Auction has not sent me any news to inform me in advance that the Druid Ring will be auctioned.

But Hussein’s expression changed slightly. For a dark wizard, his pockets were really empty. Three thousand magic stones were almost enough to drain him dry.

As a dark wizard, he had not developed any habit or ability to make money. Now that he had just been whitewashed and became a white wizard, he naturally didn’t have much money.

Hussein asked, “Why is it so expensive? It only costs 500 magic stones to invest in the Sun Shadow Peninsula, but it costs five times as much to invest in the Star Domain Sea.”

The old wizard of the Dispatching Department had a slightly unhappy look on his face. Although he had always stayed in a quiet place and lived in peace with the world, he was almost five hundred years old after all. Hussein’s questioning was a bit aggressive, and he might mistakenly think it was disrespectful to him.

The old wizard said unhappily, “Of course it would be that expensive. This young fellow First Ring wizard, that’s the Star Domain Sea.”

“The Star Region Sea is a land of gold! No matter how rich you are, you’ll be stripped bare once you go there. It used to be even more expensive, but a few years ago, due to reforms, the price was reduced from 10,000 magic stones per trip to 3,000.”

“The Star Domain Sea is the source of magic stones after all.”

Locke looked at the old wizard in surprise, then said politely, “Mr. Director, I want to ask you a question. Does the magic stone come from the Star Sea? Does that mean the magic stone was released by the Star Sea?”

Locke saw that the old wizard just wanted others to respect him, but Hussein was born into a dark wizard family and was too aggressive. He either tried his best to please his wizard mentor or was very aggressive towards others, so his words were easily misunderstood.

The old wizard, the head of the dispatch department, smiled, nodded to Locke, and said in a slower tone, “Well, actually, I don’t know much.”

The old wizard carefully considered the next sentence, and after confirming that there was no problem, he continued, “I just know a little about it because I have worked in the White Wizard Association for decades. But this kind of thing is not a secret. I said that the Star Domain Sea is the source of magic stones. This is correct. The Star Domain Sea is one of the sources of magic stones, but I am not sure whether it was announced by the Star Domain Sea.”

“Anyway, I just took the magic stone and used it.” The old wizard said with a smile, “Speaking of which, the magic stone is indeed magical. It cannot be damaged, cannot be changed, cannot be shaped, cannot be magically combined with another object, or embedded in other alchemical equipment. It is even impossible to use it.”

The old wizard was fascinated. “And, let me tell you, I once did an experiment where I tried to throw a magic stone into an extra-dimensional rift, but the magic stone couldn’t be thrown in…”

“The magic stone seems to have a special magic that prevents us from abandoning it to a time and space where it can no longer be retrieved.”

Locke nodded slightly. He had discovered before that the magic stone could not be synthesized at all because the level of the magic stone was too high.

But the question is, what can the magic stone do?
The magic stone can’t do anything.

Locke didn’t understand how magic stones were used as currency among wizards, but now it seems that if magic stones came from the Star Sea, then they might very well be a credit currency.

“That’s right. If magic stones can really be used for something special, then they are a form of physical currency, equivalent to bartering, using oil or batteries as currency. But if magic stones are a credit currency, or some special currency that I don’t understand yet, then as the issuer of this currency…”

Locke’s eyes darkened. “The issuer of this currency will be able to use it to control the entire world!”

“Only credit currency, or something similar, can be used to harvest other regions. Otherwise, if you use oil and battery-type currencies and send them out, that’s not harvesting, that’s using yourself to feed the world.”

Locke reacted. “But it doesn’t really matter. As long as the Star Sea, or the publisher, has a sufficiently strong production capacity for magic items, the magic stone will always have a strong purchasing power and can be exchanged for the magic items wizards need. Then it will have inestimable value.”

“Furthermore, the Star Sea, or the publisher of magic stones, also needs to distribute a large amount of magic stones to various wizard lands to purchase the magic resources of each wizard land.”

“So, they need to distribute magic stones while also recycling them and exporting their products. This back-and-forth creates a healthy economic system.”

‘This is no different from Lilith’s Hut, which allows the entire mortal world to be sustenance and protection.’

Locke pondered, “One day, I will probably come into contact with the true source of the magic stone.”

Locke said to the old wizard, “Mr. Director, here are three thousand magic stones. Please help me send my resume.”

The old wizard smiled and said, “Okay.”

“You can watch me deliver it. This is the procedure.”

“Also, these are the contracts and records. I didn’t take the money. Every penny must be reconciled with the ledger.” The old wizard seemed genuinely afraid and kept emphasizing this point. “If there’s a reply letter, I’ll send someone back according to the information you provided. Alternatively, after you go to another wizarding land, you can change your address. The head of the local wizard dispatch department will be responsible for delivering the replies from the major wizarding organizations to the address you provided.”

“If you fill it in incorrectly, it could be troublesome, so it’s best to confirm the return address you wrote on the letter. If you plan to change your residence in the near future, you can inform the Dispatch Department.”

When Hussein saw this scene, he was sure that the old man had no intention of embezzling the money. It was just that after he found the price of investing in the Star Sea to be really high, he had no choice but to hand over the three thousand magic stones with a gloomy face.

In this way, both of them had submitted their resumes.

After handing over the magic stone, the old wizard took the three of them to the eye of the hurricane on the top of the mountain.

They walked up a hollow iron staircase built above the storm, stamped the three resumes they wanted to send with a specific magic seal, confirmed the mailing location, and threw them into the eye of the hurricane.

Locke looked at the letter that was constantly being swallowed by the eye of the storm and knew that this was the first letter he sent to the Star Sea.

I don’t know whether there will be any reply after this letter is sent.
