Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 378

Chapter 376 Utilization and Feedback

Soon, the members of the Filayd family walked on the suspended steps and arrived at a banquet hall at the top of the 20km.

This banquet hall, located 20km above the ground, is magnificent, with countless magic lights suspended on the ceiling. There are even some natural phenomena that are restrained by magic by weather masters rolling on the ceiling. There are dark clouds, lightning, rain clouds, sunny days, and hail, all flowing naturally on the ceiling, which is very magical.

At the same time, wizard swords with golden handles hung with chains fell from the sky, hanging naturally, like swords hanging from the sky, which looked very magical.

The banquet hall has been fully decorated.

The exquisite food prepared by the seasoning master from the School of Enchanting was piled up and placed on the golden table of the banquet.

One by one, beautiful elf maids who were third-class wizard apprentices, dressed in elegant long dresses, moved around the banquet table, preparing dishes for the wizards of the Firaide family.

There were also dancers from the School of Transfiguration, performing a beautiful dance in the center of the banquet. Their steps often made for angles that were unimaginable for mortal dancers, and their dance moves were even more exquisite.

At the banquet, there was even an entire musical instrument team specializing in the school of illusion. They were a family of musicians affiliated with the Filayd family in the land of six towers. A musical instrument team was a wizard organization.

They were playing dozens of instruments, incorporating spells from the school of illusion, and a formal wizard was conducting the entire orchestra.

The grandeur of the scene even stunned Locke.

Such a scene is simply impossible to see in the southeast corner. In the southeast corner, every formal wizard is extremely precious. They are either wizard mentors in wizard academies or self-employed wizards who independently preside over a micro wizard organization.

Only in the land of six towers, a wizarding land divided into family wizards and civilian wizards, can you see so many first-ring wizards celebrating for the Filaid family together.

The Filayd family controls the White Elephant Tower at their feet, holds half of the wizard instructor positions at the Magic Gem University, and controls a large number of important positions in the White Wizard Association branch. Here, all resources must come from the mouths of these famous families and the two archon families.

At the invitation of Wizard Anthony, Locke quickly took a seat and sat on his left. An elf wizard apprentice maid immediately took a golden bottle and poured wizard wine into the golden cup in front of him.

Locke noticed that there were actually two kinds of drinks at this banquet, one was wizard wine, and the other was a drink similar to witch watermelon juice.

“So that’s how it is. Those who have wizard drinks in their golden cups are the real leaders of this banquet, the wizards who have entered the center of power. And those who have witch watermelon juice in front of them are basically the younger generation of wizards from the major families, or marginalized people.”

“Although they were at the party, they had already been marginalized.”

Locke noticed this detail.

In other words, most of the people at this banquet were just supporting roles, and what was poured in front of them was some kind of wizard drink.

Only the formal wizards at his table, as well as the official wizards at the adjacent tables, or some family wizard apprentices of higher generation and status, the liquid in the golden cups in front of these people is wizard wine.

“Did I enter the core of power in the Six Towers right from the start?” Locke pondered, “It’s mainly because Senior Anthony is doing well.”

He glanced at Senior Anthony, who was now saying some polite words, such as introducing some people to him, the nominal protagonist of the banquet, and introducing himself to everyone.

But Senior Anthony’s real purpose was just to find a reason to show his authority to everyone in the Filayd family.

After all, three days ago, he had become the main decision-maker in the Filaide family.

Locke cooperated with senior Anthony to greet some wizards. Some of these people were trying to please him, some were looking at him, and some were testing him.

Locke sat there and did not have much communication with the wizards of the Filayd family and its affiliated families.

The first is that I won’t stay here for too long, so there is no need to establish complex interpersonal relationships.

Second, your senior brother has introduced himself to others as a genius in potions. Of course, a genius should be a little arrogant. If you are too enthusiastic towards others, they will definitely doubt your ability.

Soon, the elf wizard apprentice brought up gems in his hands and placed them on a white porcelain plate. The rotating table showed these magic gems to everyone sitting at the table.

Wizard Anthony turned the table and introduced Locke, “Junior brother, I remember Teacher Harlan Vera told me that you also like magic gems. Look at these gems here, they are gray spot stones. If someone touches them with their hands, they will leave marks that are difficult to clean. Some wizards like to use this kind of stone to track their enemies.”

“This arsenic-like crystal is alkali frost crystal. It can enhance some spells in the ice and snow magic sub-category of the Evocation School, even first-level magic.”

“This is a River Frost Heart. Carrying it with you allows you to breathe underwater for half an hour.”

Wizard Anthony said, “And this one, this is a rose-red gemstone that is extremely precious in the land of the Six Towers. It is the king of minerals and is extremely rare.”

“We currently don’t have a stable source of mining resources. We collect this kind of mineral essence as soon as we can.”

Wizard Anthony turned the round table in front of Locke, and saw a special mineral on a white porcelain plate that looked like a dry tree, but upon closer inspection, it looked like a stone.

Wizard Anthony said, “And this, this is mosswood pith. It’s a magical mineral that was naturally formed over time from a magical plant called the mosswood tree that was buried underground for over ten thousand years.”

“Moss pith can promote the rapid growth of a One-Ring Magic Plant. Place a piece of moss pith under the soil of a One-Ring Magic Plant. Even if the One-Ring Magic Plant is damaged, it will fully recover overnight.”

Wizard Anthony said, “Furthermore, this stone can lower the breeding requirements for first-ring wizards. In other words, moss pith can help breeders lower the breeding requirements for some difficult first-ring magical plants.”

“Every piece of moss pith, once taken outside, will be sought after by many senior breeders.”

“A piece of mosswood pith has a price of at least three thousand magic stones. Here are ten pieces in total. As a gift from the Firaide family for our first meeting, I’ll give you ten pieces. Is that okay with everyone?”

Wizard Anthony’s face suddenly became expressionless, and he looked provocatively at the wizards of the Filaide family sitting at the table.

Locke took a look at the moss pith and remembered that the moss tree was an ancient magical plant that had long been extinct. The extinct moss tree would be buried underground for thousands of years before a piece of moss pith was formed.

As soon as they met, Senior Brother Anthony gave him a gift worth 30,000 magic stones, which was something he really needed as a breeder. The wizarding world follows the principle of equal exchange.

Obviously, this is the other party giving back.

After all, the other party had just used his junior brother as an excuse to hold such a big banquet here, using family funds to show his authority and suppress those who disobeyed him in the family. Naturally, Wizard Anthony had to give him some gifts in return.

Otherwise, things would not make sense.

The atmosphere at the table was silent for a moment. Suddenly, a handsome young wizard, Gore Firaid, said in a joking tone, “Brother-in-law, this is not good.”

“Isn’t this a stone appreciation banquet? How can we give away magical gems from our family’s warehouse, especially such rare and unique ones, to… outsiders?”

When Gore mentioned outsiders, his tone was deliberately slightly sarcastic. Then, before Anthony could attack him, he suddenly said, “How about this.”

“Take these ten pieces of moss pith as a prize. Mr. Locke Augustine, as your junior fellow apprentice, isn’t he a genius in potions?”

“I have a bottle of potion here, but I won’t tell you the name. Could you please, Mr. Augustine, smell it and identify what kind of potion it is? If you can tell me the name of this potion, then even if Mr. Augustine is truly a genius in potion science and a distinguished figure in our family, what good will it do to give ten pieces of mosswood pith to this distinguished guest?”

“Regardless of whether you can guess the specific name of the potion in my hand, as long as Mr. Augustine can guess the approximate category of this potion, I will be convinced.”

Goyle looked at Wizard Anthony provocatively. “Brother-in-law, do you dare?”

Wizard Anthony took a sip of wizard wine and sneered. Gore Filaid was his wife’s half-brother, but the younger generation of the Filaid family was really useless. They actually used such low-level tricks at such a banquet.

When the atmosphere became awkward, Wizard Anthony cleverly said, “Gore, this is a serious occasion. Put away your childish temper and don’t joke around here.”

“I, Filaide, am a distinguished family from the Six Towers. How could I question such a distinguished guest at a banquet? Do you think this is your classroom?”

These words were spoken in a very dignified and natural manner. Many of the old people in Filaide could not help but nod their heads, agreeing with what Wizard Anthony said.

There is definitely a reason why Wizard Anthony can take charge of the Filaid family as a son-in-law.

As for Gore Filaid, his face turned red. He didn’t expect that his provocation would be reduced to clownish behavior by a few words from Wizard Anthony, which made him look very immature.

Just as Goyle slammed the table, stood up, and was about to attack Wizard Anthony, who was sitting in the main seat, Locke suddenly looked at the bottle of potion. “Is this a blood transformation potion, a unicorn potion?”

“It seems the positioning accuracy is very low, so I’m afraid the effect will be limited even if I take it.”

Coincidentally, Locke was on the airship. Because they wanted to find a way to allow Alicia to take the Mammon Powder potion, the two of them had discussed the unicorn bloodline transformation potion for a long time on the airship.

Therefore, Locke is really very familiar with this potion. He may even know more about this special blood-transforming potion in the Six Towers that can enhance physical fitness than many wizards present.

Therefore, Locke only observed the color and natural magic structure of the potion, the state and flickering magic light emerging from the potion bottle, and guessed that the potion was the blood transformation potion of the unicorn rhinoceros.

However, Locke also noticed that the color of the potion was very mixed, and it seemed that the accuracy of bloodline positioning was very low, so it could not be considered a successful potion.

Of course, if you want to use it, you can force it.

Goyle looked at Locke in disbelief, his expression suddenly changing. Obviously, he didn’t expect that he deliberately took out the blood transformation potion unique to the Six Towers to test Locke, but Locke could actually say the name of the potion in his hand in one sentence.

This made Gao Er’s face turn pale, and he didn’t say a word for a while.

Wizard Anthony glanced at him in surprise, then looked at Locke, then curled up the corners of his mouth, and took a sip of wizard wine. He turned to Goyle more calmly and asked, “Brother Goyle, is my junior brother’s guess correct?”
