Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 374

Chapter 372 Six White Letter Towers

Chapter 372 Six White Letter Towers
Another week passed. During this time, Locke and Alicia had an in-depth exchange of some knowledge about pharmacy, and both benefited greatly from the communication.

Alicia’s knowledge of alchemy and the best alchemy education she received at Verdantia University greatly enhanced Locke’s understanding of the field of alchemy.

Similarly, during this week, Locke used the synthesis cube to synthesize the common first-ring potion [Holy Spring Nectar Potion] in the southeast corner, and synthesized an 8th-level synthetic item.

In its improved formula, the method of using magic flames with thunder attributes in the final step during the fire stage to suddenly extract a large amount of medicinal properties from the potion ingredients can greatly enhance the efficacy of the Holy Spring Nectar Potion.

Because Alicia helped him a lot in the basics of potions, Locke shared this knowledge with her in return.

If nothing else, communication is about give and take.

Otherwise, one-sided communication will become teaching.

This kind of communication will be difficult to maintain among peers for a long time.

With the help of Alicia, Locke found out the gaps and quickly made up for his deficiencies in the field of alchemy, laying a solid foundation for alchemy, which was originally slightly inferior to breeding.

The two of them felt a sense of mutual understanding in Locke’s suite.

Alicia sighed to Locke, “Locke, I’ve never had such an in-depth discussion about Potions with a wizard of my generation. You know… most wizards can’t keep up with my thinking speed in Potions. Even my teacher is only better-informed and older than me.”

“Although your thinking speed seems slow, Locke.” Alicia frowned, as if thinking about how to describe it. “Some things, I need to explain to you two or three times before you understand.”

“At first, I thought it would be difficult for me to communicate with you, too. But later I realized that wasn’t the case. Many of your ideas are truly ingenious, beyond my comprehension. For example, using the violent and rapid extraction of lightning-attributed magic flames, and in the final stage, accelerating the fusion of the seven magical nectars, converging them into a single holy spring nectar.”

Alicia said, “It might have something to do with your thinking patterns. If my thinking habit is to do addition, slowly adding up numbers, then your thinking habit is probably to do multiplication. Although your thinking speed is usually very slow, suddenly, you will have an amazing inspiration.”

“In general, you think faster than I do. Your thoughts jump so fast that I can barely keep up.”

Locke smiled helplessly.

That’s because a lot of his knowledge of potion formulas was obtained through the cheating device of synthesizing the Rubik’s Cube, while Alicia’s ideas were all thought up by her on her own.

Alicia’s talent in potions is indeed very good, but unfortunately, after communicating with her during this period, Locke found that she is really not good at the bloodline transformation direction of the spell school.

The reason why she is currently just an ordinary formal wizard is largely because she was forced to learn the blood transformation witchcraft inherited from her family, and her talent and interest in this area are actually no higher than any other wizard.

This is the disadvantage of having a big family.

You enjoy the benefits brought by the family, but of course the family can also interfere in your life, forcing you to inherit the family’s magic and preventing Alicia from continuing to study potions in depth.

It can be said that if the great wizard Sura had not been ill, Alicia would not even be allowed to go to Wildantia University outside the Six Towers to study potions.

And at the moment, this is the greatest degree of freedom she has.

Alicia pursed her lips and sighed. “It’s such a pleasure to communicate with you, but unfortunately, the happy time is too short.”

“We’re almost at our destination.”

The rare happiness on Alicia’s face disappeared, and her eyes were filled with sadness again, as well as her sense of responsibility as the heir of the Plutarch family.

Outside the observation window of the suite, I saw that the airship had passed through the second sky and landed 50km below. It was circling in the sky and descending rapidly.

They saw the airship passing through the clouds, and below the blue sky was a continuous mountain range. In this area surrounded by mountains, there were some cities in the plains and some steep hillsides.

Unlike the southeast corner, the area here is full of sharp and steep wizard towers. Tall towers stand among the mountains and cities. The tops of the wizard towers emit magical light that reaches into the sky. Huge magical energy surrounds the wizard towers and continuously pours energy back to them.

Locke even saw that the wizard towers in many areas were constantly releasing magical energy to the sky and the earth, as if they were exploring something. At the same time, a large number of mortals were digging for magic ores in this mountainous area. Various rare magic ores were being continuously dug out from the earth.

The wizard towers scattered across the place are providing signals for the underground miners.

At the same time, Locke also saw that at the edge of this area lined with wizard towers, there were six tall towers. The height and diameter of the six towers were incredible, as if they were the pillars supporting the sky at the edge of the world.

It reaches straight into the clouds like a pillar of the sky. It is so huge that it looks like six natural buildings that have existed since ancient times.

These six white towers are connected to each other by magical power, forming a natural magical energy barrier, isolating the entire six-tower area from the outside world.

Locke said, “The underground mineral veins in the land of six towers seem to be very active. Was the wizard tower here built for mining?”

Alicia nodded and said, “Yes, the vast majority of the magic ores in the nearby wizarding lands don’t come from the Rye Underground, but from the Six Towers. The Rye Underground is indeed rich in underground magic ore veins, but not near the Star Sea, but in the far northern boundary area.”

“Our wizarding lands are all in the Eastern Wizarding Region under the jurisdiction of the Star Domain Sea.”

“In order to better mine underground ores, the Land of the Six Towers has been developing wizard tower technology since ancient times.”

Alicia recounted to Locke a history that even the wizards of the Six Towers might not know. She pointed at the six incredible towers. “But most wizard tower technology is just a crude imitation of those six towers.”

“Those six towers are the headquarters of the Wizarding Association. They were built three thousand years ago on our six-tower site. They were specifically designed to form a stable barrier to protect the mining area. They were also able to send signals and guide miners to dig for magical ores in the complex underground environment, especially within the complex circulation of magical energy in the earth veins.”

“The six white towers require a huge amount of energy at all times. Ordinary wizarding lands may not have such resources, but the Six Towers Land is blessed with rich magical mineral veins underground, which are inexhaustible. So far, the magic veins we have excavated are less than 30% of the magic mineral reserves in the Six Towers Land.”

Locke looked at Alicia and said, “Most of the family wizards in the Six Towers are good at bloodline transformation technology because…”

Alicia smiled at Locke and said, “As expected of you, Locke, you’ve figured it out. I’ve always admired your sharp thinking. Perhaps that’s why you always come up with brilliant ideas. Yes, the earliest bloodline transformation technology developed in the Six Towers was to overcome the high-energy radiation in the underground mineral veins.”

“Without undergoing specific bloodline transformation, even wizard apprentices cannot stay under the high-energy circulating radiation zone of underground gem veins for a long time. Many wizard apprentices have suffered from short lifespans and various strange diseases due to long periods of time digging in underground gem veins.”

Alicia said, “For this reason, the wizards of our Six Towers, in order to undertake the task of excavating underground mineral veins for the various wizarding lands, began using bloodline transformation techniques thousands of years ago to make their bodies highly adaptable.”

“So, we in the Six Towers have always been very advanced in highly adaptable bloodline transformation technology. It’s just that in recent years, we’ve fallen behind a bit, but in the pursuit of high adaptability, we’re still among the best.” Alicia said, “Of course, now only civilian wizards go into the mines. We family wizards rarely go there, so the research direction of our family wizards’ bloodline transformation has long been beyond adaptability to high-radiation environments.”

Alicia bowed to Locke. “Locke, I should go back now. It’s been a pleasure talking to you. I’ve learned a lot from you. The improvements to the Mammon Powder potion and the Holy Spring Nectar potion are both your masterpieces, so I won’t reveal them to anyone else until you patent them and publish them.”

“By the way, this is for you.”

Alicia pulled a letter from her astral ring and tore it in half. “This is stationery. Based on the energy radiation range of the wizard tower, we can communicate with each other. I’ll write something on the top half of this letter, and the corresponding words will appear on the bottom half in your hand.”

“This is a common way for wizards in our Six Towers to communicate, so we call wizards who communicate over long distances pen pals.”

“Because it relies on the Wizard Tower, the letter paper will not work once you leave the land of the six towers.”

Alicia was a little worried that Locke wouldn’t accept it, so she looked up at Locke guiltily and added, “I have a lot of potion materials in stock at home. If you need anything, you can write to me and I will send them to you.”

“I can’t say anything else, but at least in the Land of the Six Towers, you will never be short of rare potion ingredients again.”

Locke frowned. He had always followed the principle of equal exchange, so he was a little uncomfortable with the current situation.

Alicia added, “As a trade, I would like to continue discussing Potions with you. I have gained a lot from discussing with you, and I now have some ideas for improving potion recipes.”

“So, these are all paid services.”

Locke smiled at the paid service and said, “Okay.”

He took the letter from Alicia and said, “I don’t have many friends, especially First Ring wizards. Although you are not my only friend, you are the first First Ring wizard friend I made.”

Alicia looked at Locke in surprise. “Isn’t Wizard Salvador your friend?”

Locke felt a headache when he thought of the wizard Salvador. This guy’s mouth was really stinky. He had only been on the airship for two months, but it seemed that he had offended a large group of family wizards in the Six Towers because of his foul mouth.

All we can say is that the Hand of the Jungle is too powerful, or that although Salvador is foul-mouthed, he does not have many material needs other than restoring the ecology, so not many wizards are his enemies.

After all, those who can become first-ring wizards rarely become enemies with others because of emotional issues.

Both of the above are indispensable.

Locke believed that if the Salvadoran wizard did not meet one of the above two conditions, he would probably die at the hands of a wizard in less than a week.

Locke shook his head slightly at Alicia. “Salvatore is just my protégé. I’m the type who wants to get him away from me as soon as possible. If it weren’t for my senior asking me to protect him, I would never have accepted the mission.”

Alicia nodded thoughtfully. “But Locke, you’re very reliable in protecting people.”

“You are a very reliable person.”
