Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 356

Chapter 354 Senior Expert of Jungle Hand

Green Witch Christine said to Locke, “You want as many as you can get? The market price of a bottle of Hive Consciousness Potion is originally 10,000 magic stones. I have five bottles, which means a total of 50,000 magic stones.”

“But Locke, the price of the Hive Mind Potion has doubled to an outrageous level. The current price is three times what it was before, which means a total of 150,000 magic stones. And I estimate it will double again.”

Christine said, “No one is selling Hive Mind Potion these days. But if you, Junior Locke, do me a small favor, I’ll sell you this set of Hive Mind Potion at the original price.”

“And I will also sell you the Cloud Sea Mist Pine at the original price of 30,000 magic stones per tree.”

Locke looked at Christine in confusion, “What favor?”

Christine said, “Since you’re going to the Six Towers anyway, I’ve been wanting to ask you for this. I just couldn’t figure out how to get you to agree.”

Christine smiled and said, “Who knows, I’m lucky, I just happen to have what you need.”

Christine said, “You know, the Jungle Hand?”

At the gathering of fellow disciples, most of the first-ring wizards had puzzled expressions in their eyes, but they all pricked up their ears, ready to listen to the news.

Wizard Anthony suddenly realized. “So it’s that organization. How come you joined, Christine?”

“I didn’t expect that someone as serious as you would actually join that kind of organization.”

Christine smiled helplessly. “No, there’s no way I’d join that kind of organization. But the problem is, the dean of our Four Seasons Garden was actually… actually persuaded by Jungle Hand to establish a partnership with them and even open a joint apprenticeship training center with them.”

Wizard Anthony looked at Christine sympathetically and said, “That can’t be helped. After all, among us botanical wizards, a large number of us have the potential to become members of the Jungle Hand.”

“But I know that if your leader had someone with Jungle Hand, it would be a nightmare.”

Locke asked curiously, “What are you two talking about? I still don’t know what kind of organization Jungle Hand is.”

Witch Christine turned to Locke and nodded, saying, “Sorry, sorry, junior. The Jungle Hand Organization is a cross-wizarding organization with powerful figures behind it. It is said that there are some second-ring and even third-ring level figures behind it, so it has considerable influence.”

“But because they span across wizarding lands and are a massive organization, none of their actions are aimed at profit, domination, or the collection of magical resources.”

Locke was puzzled. “What’s that for? Is it a purely academic organization? That’s quite interesting.”

Many first-ring wizards in the gathering of fellow disciples also looked at Christine with confusion.

Who knew that Christine had a helpless look on her face.

Wizard Anthony’s phantom was practically dying of laughter. “Hmm… well, it’s pretty much a purely academic organization. But this kind of organization can easily become insane, basically on par with the Holy Masters.”

“The Jungle Hands organization is a group of wizards, including breeders, botanists, and zoologists… an organization of scholars dedicated to restoring and studying the natural ecology of various wizarding lands. While it sounds serious, in reality… in their minds, preserving the local ecology is their primary goal, and nothing else matters. This easily leads to a lot of resentment.”

“Besides, they do things in a very extreme way.”

Locke understood, isn’t this an extreme environmental protection organization!

I see. No wonder an organization across wizarding lands has a name similar to that of a knight order. It’s basically a wizard version of an extreme environmentalist knight order.

Wizard Anthony said, “I roughly know why Junior Sister Christine is looking for Junior Brother Locke.”

“The Adam Smith family, whose core research focuses on griffin bloodlines, recently discovered that due to the destruction of the griffin forest ecosystem, griffins have lost their ability to reproduce naturally. They’ve invited many botanical and zoological wizards from the Six Towers to try to solve this problem, but after two years, they haven’t been able to find a solution.”

“Even their family’s griffin population has shrunk to less than ten individuals, and they’re on the verge of extinction. It seems the Adam Smith family was forced to trust the Jungle Hand, the organization most motivated to restore the griffin ecosystem.”

“You should be escorting a scholar from the Jungle Hand. This should be an ordinary mission, but why do you need to use such favors, junior sister?”

“Finding a first-ring wizard to escort the expert shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Christine looked troubled. “Senior, you don’t know the whole story, let alone the true extent of the Jungle Hand wizards. I’m tortured by them every day. Sometimes, I just can’t stand them anymore.”

Christine looked at Locke and explained, “The Jungle Hand has already sent people to investigate and confirmed that the upper reaches of the Olmega River, where the griffins live, have been severely polluted. This has caused a certain magical fish, a specific food for the griffins, in the Olmega River to be contaminated, making it impossible for the griffins to eat that fish.”

“If griffins don’t eat that kind of fish, they won’t be able to reproduce and will lose their ability to mate. Without griffins, the Adam Smith family won’t be able to conduct relevant bloodline research.”

“The Jungle Hand has confirmed that the pollution of the Olmega River is caused by waste discharge from the blood-conditioning factory run by the Ptolemy family, another prominent family in the Six Towers. Therefore, the Jungle Hand and the Adam Smith family must immediately demand that the Ptolemy family shut down all upstream industries.”

“Of course the Ptolemy family won’t agree. So, I heard that they might hire dark wizards to attack the Jungle Hand’s ecological transformation experts to prevent the Jungle Hand from entering the Land of the Six Towers.”

Christine looked at Locke and said, “Junior brother, you don’t know how difficult it is to meet the demands of the Conglin Hand.”

“They asked me to find a first-ring wizard who could protect them, but there were restrictions: he had to be a botanical wizard and a breeder. This was because the Jungle Hand didn’t trust wizards of other magical categories.”

“After much thought, I really don’t have any other options. As you know, the combat effectiveness of a breeder and a botanical wizard isn’t usually very high.”

“But it has no fighting power and can’t protect the Jungle Hand expert.” Christine’s face was not good. “Forget it, if you agree, I’ll sell my Hive Mind Potion for half price.”

“Because that expert has such a bad temper, I’m here to apologize to you in advance on his behalf.”

“In addition, the Jungle Hand will give you 30,000 magic stones and hire you to protect this expert for a while until you deliver him to the Jungle Hand’s base in the Land of Six Towers.”

Christine said, “Don’t worry about getting involved in any disputes. Although the Jungle Hands are difficult to deal with, their influence is quite significant. They have influence in all major wizarding lands. For some reason, their extreme ecological protection ideas are widely supported, and there are even many powerful wizards above them.”

Christine said, “I guess Jungle Hand’s environmental protection business is not that simple, although I don’t understand how they make a profit. But so many high-level wizards support Jungle Hand. It’s probably because Jungle Hand has a special way of making money.”

“Brother Locke, do you want to answer it?”

Locke thought for a moment, then looked at the gray mist slate and found that several official wizards he had contacted had told him that there was no way to get the swarm consciousness potion now.

Then, at present, the only possible way for him to obtain the Hive Consciousness Potion for a long time, even within ten years, may be right in front of him.

Locke thought for a moment and asked, “What level of wizard did the Ptolemy family hire to attack the Jungle Hand experts?”
