Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 348

Chapter 346: The Famous Family in the Land of Six Towers

Because I had submitted my resume before, these small wizard organizations got the news from somewhere and wrote to me every day, wanting to invite me to take up a teaching position.

But the problem is, I definitely won’t go to their place.

Locke glanced at the signature on the letter. “It’s the Archimedes Academy in the Rye Underground. Isn’t that a wizarding academy that focuses on alchemy? And it’s located in an underground mine.”

Locke thought of the dwarf Tyne, his dusty appearance, and shook his head. Forget it, he didn’t want to go to that kind of place.

Locke opened the letter, and the content of the letter was indeed Dean Archimedes’s attempt to deceive him, saying that he would be promoted to a teaching position once a year, and would be guaranteed to obtain the position of senior wizard instructor within five years, and would open the only formal wizard-level wizard secret realm in the Rye Underground to him, and help him be promoted to a liquefied wizard within fifteen years.

Locke’s face darkened, because even without using any magical resources, he was confident that he could be promoted to a liquefied first-ring wizard within eight years. However, Dean Archimedes actually thought that he could do his best to help him be promoted within fifteen years.

What, he also knew that the more he helped me, the slower my advancement would be?
Locke said, “I can’t go to these wizard organizations in ordinary wizard lands. They’re just taking advantage of me.”

“If I go to those places, I might as well ask Teacher Harun Vera to write me a letter of introduction and recommend me to Esosend Fire Weaving Academy, the top academy in the Sun Shadow Peninsula.”

Locke snapped his fingers, causing the gray mist slate to appear in front of him. The gray mist slate was vibrating wildly, reminding him that someone was looking for him.

Locke looked at the stone slab. In the past six months, he and the official wizards in Harlan Vera’s network had added many friends and asked them for a lot of information, so it was normal for someone to come to him at this time.

“It’s Wizard Anthony.”

Wizard Anthony wrote on the gray mist slate: “Junior Brother Locke, I have information about the Druid’s Ring you asked me about. It’s a bit of a hassle, though. She has a special request. Could you please establish contact with her gray mist slate? I’ll have her talk to you herself.”

Locke thought about it and chose to agree to the other party’s message request.

Soon, Locke realized through the gray fog slate that the other party was an ordinary formal wizard from the magic pressure transmitted from the other party. The other party soon sent a video dialogue request.

Locke said, “Video conversation? This requires a Silver membership, right? It costs 5,000 Magic Stones a month. I have the Augustus brand, and my income far exceeds that of the official wizards who retire in the Southeast Corner. They don’t even dare to spend Magic Stones to buy a Silver membership. This ordinary official wizard is really rich.”

Locke chose to agree.

Suddenly, the image of a female wizard emerged above the gray foggy slab. She looked to be only in her early twenties, with a baby face, and was wearing a luxurious wizard robe sewn with gold and silver threads.

The most central part of the wizard’s robe’s chest is not a badge representing the identity of a first-ring wizard and the faction she belongs to, nor a badge representing her honor, but a badge representing her family.

At the same time, this person had an arrogant look on his face. He didn’t look like a solitary wizard exploring the truth, but rather like a proud noble lady.

“I am Peggy, Peggy Filayd, from the Filayd family, a prestigious family in the land of the Six Towers.”

“Are you the potion genius Locke Augustus that Wizard Anthony mentioned?”

Locke looked at the witch in front of him speechlessly. Her attitude was too similar to that of the 72 native wizard families in Lilith’s Hut. They were simply an enhanced version of the wizard family.

Unexpectedly, the person that Senior Brother Anthony found for him was actually an official wizard from the wizard family in the Six Towers.

Locke frowned slightly, not intending to indulge the other party, and just nodded coldly.

This made Peggy Filaid feel like she was punching cotton. Peggy frowned slightly and soon realized that there was something wrong with her attitude.

Peggy slightly suppressed the arrogance on her face and said, “I’m sorry, I rarely communicate with wizards from the outside world, so I treated you as a wizard from the Six Towers. In our Six Towers, everything is of low quality, only the family is of high quality.”

“I treated you as a wizard from an ordinary family. This is my fault. Locke, your senior brother, Wizard Anthony, married into our Firaide family and held a high position in the family. He is my eldest brother-in-law.”

“Since you are his junior apprentice, we are family. You don’t have to be so formal with me.”

Locke showed a speechless expression.

No wonder Senior Brother Anthony always liked to brag during small gatherings of the sect, but seldom mentioned what he was doing in the Six Towers. It turned out that he had married into a wealthy family.

Locke said briefly, “I see. So, what brings you to me?”

No wonder the other party, an ordinary official wizard, is so rich that he recharges 5,000 magic stones every month to purchase a silver membership.

Of course, the other party can use the Nigward astrology system in the outside world, which means that he should have found a way to crack the system just like himself.

Peggy Filaid said, “I heard from brother-in-law Anthony that you are a genius in potions, and your specialty is Abyssal Potions.”

“You’ve only recently advanced to the level of a full-fledged wizard, haven’t you? You’re actually at the gasification stage.”

Paige looked surprised.

Locke scanned the image transmitted by Peggy. Her room was even more luxurious than the royal palace, and it seemed that there were groups of slaves behind her. The most terrifying thing was that there were actually two ordinary formal wizards behind her, and the old wizard served as servants.

The power of the wizard family in the land of six towers is evident. It is a rare place where a wizard family surpasses the wizard academy. Then the magic level of the entire area has not improved but deteriorated. Except for the wizard tower technology, it has almost fallen behind the outside world in all aspects.

Locke only took a quick glance at Peggy and discovered that her permanent defensive force field was full of flaws in the magic structure. He had no idea how she had advanced to become a formal wizard.

It is very likely that it was forcibly piled up by resources, and it is probably even more outrageous than mine.

He only used resources to improve his own training speed, but Locke observed Peggy’s superficial magic power and was a little suspicious. Peggy had never worked hard at all, but relied on the family’s resources to become a formal wizard.

No wonder the wizards in the Land of Six Towers are getting weaker and weaker.

Such a one-ring wizard can kill indiscriminately in an instant if he wants to.

Peggy raised a brow and actually asked Locke a Potions question. “If we use Nightshade as the core ingredient, what should the auxiliary ingredients be?”

Locke was speechless. “Using seashell powder, licorice, and platycodon as auxiliary ingredients can reduce the toxicity of the nightshade. The night vision potion also requires secondary ingredients to enhance its efficacy, so we need to add moon well water and firefly cold light glands.”

“But we still need some minor ingredients to blend in with the medicinal properties, so we need to mix it with eleven other ingredients, including the rootless grass juice and honeycomb powder.”

Locke’s patience was already running out mid-sentence. “As for the heat… First, use a fire-attribute magic flame at high heat to extract the medicinal properties for one minute, then reduce to low heat for ten minutes, then switch to a wind-attribute flame at high heat for another twenty minutes, and then for the final ten minutes, use a water-attribute flame and a wood-attribute flame at high heat—continuously switching between low and low heats to extract the medicinal properties…”

“Finally, use the magic flame of water attribute to finish it off.”

“Don’t ask me such a simple question.” Locke’s eyes were cold.

Peggy was stunned for a moment, then looked at Locke with some admiration. “You’re amazing! Among the potion masters in our Six Towers, there are very few who can answer such a difficult question so quickly.”

“As expected of the potion master recommended by my brother-in-law.”

Locke was speechless.

Night Vision Potion is the simplest potion, and you’re telling me I’m awesome just because I can answer that question?
Are you kidding me ?

Has the level of alchemy in the Six Towers declined to this extent?

Peggy said, “I want to invite you to come and help me heal someone. The condition is that you will receive the magical resources in the Druid’s Ring.”

“As long as you agree, I can pay you with the Druid’s Ring first. In return, as long as you heal that person, I can pay you 200,000 magic stones as subsequent compensation.”

“Only if you can cure him!”

Locke looked at Peggy in surprise. Two hundred thousand magic stones to treat one person?

What a big deal.

It would take me several months to earn two hundred thousand magic stones without eating or drinking.

This is based on his own brand, which has spread throughout the southeast corner with the help of Madam Irina.

Wouldn’t an ordinary formal wizard be very tempted to hear this number?

However, for him, the most important thing is undoubtedly the Druid’s Ring.

Locke, considering the money, patiently asked, “What’s the disease? Who is it?”
