Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 384

Chapter 382 Heading to the White Dragon Tower

Chapter 382 Going to the White Dragon
Tower Claudia ‘s right leg turned into a bird claw. The moment she flew up with her wings, she kicked the golden eye grass in Locke’s hand. Suddenly, the surface of the golden magic mirror collided and produced magical electric sparks.

Bright red blood magic energy burst out from the surface of the Golden Eye Grass. The Golden Eye Grass was directly shaken and moved backwards. At the same time, a small mark appeared on its surface, but it was not serious.

Claudia landed on the ground with a look of surprise, and then her wings and claws returned to normal legs and feet. She then saluted Locke and said, “Master Augustine, I didn’t expect this magic plant to have such amazing defense. A kick that can bend a ring of magic alloy hit your magic plant, and it didn’t leave any marks at all.”

“It’s my incompetence.”

“Claudia, you did a good job.” Locke glanced at her, nodded slightly, and then looked at his golden eye grass. The damage caused to the surface of the golden eye grass didn’t matter.

After all, it’s just a blade of grass.

As for grass, it will absorb some nutrients, grow a little longer, and then it will heal itself.

Locke stretched out his hand and summoned a drop of magical energy that had materialized into liquid from the arcane energy pool beside him, which was emitting azure arcane energy gas in the air, and used the first-level botanical magic [Rapid Growth].

A very complex spell model appeared in his palm.

At the same time, Locke brushed across the surface of the golden-eye grass, and the surface of the golden-eye grass returned to its original state. The bottom of the seemingly perfectly round golden-eye grass had some tiny golden aerial roots, and its roots were madly absorbing the energy.

The overall shape of the eye grass is that the roots and stems are reduced, while the leaves are specialized into exaggerated, swollen, round leaves.

“The water in the arcane energy pool inside the Wizard Tower is truly useful. It’s essentially a highly condensed form of the magical power within the nearby earth veins,” Locke said. “It would be difficult to find such an energetic liquid elsewhere. The Six Towers are truly blessed by nature. The magical tide levels and concentration gradients within the Six Towers environment are likely two orders of magnitude higher than those in the southeastern region. Even within a moderately magical environment, this is considered quite good.”

The water in the Arcane Energy Pool is better than Fast-Growing Gel and One-Ring Nutrient Solution.

Moreover, the six white towers in the Land of Six Towers are constantly drawing energy from the earth veins, turning it into magical tides and feeding back to the land.

As long as the magical veins beneath this land are not exhausted, there will always be abundance here.

Such a superior environment can naturally support the Six Towers to develop an organizational structure that is not very competitive. If it were in a resource-scarce place, it would have declined beyond recognition according to the Six Towers’ way of playing.

Locke took out a pen and paper from his astral ring and began to write down his previous experiment on the Golden Eye Grass. “The magical properties of the Golden Eye Grass are even better than I expected. I am very satisfied with its resistance to physical defense and the magical energy of the School of Spells.”

“Without a wizard’s control, the Golden Eye Grass, relying on its own strength, can block a full-strength attack from a Bloodline Extractor of the School of Spellcasting. It seems that the properties of this defensive magical plant are very balanced.”

In fact, the defensive ability of the Golden Eye Grass has exceeded Locke’s expectations, because Locke originally thought that this was just a magical plant that could only defend against specific attacks, but who would have thought that its basic defensive ability is so outstanding.

It just couldn’t bounce back Claudia’s physical attack just now.

Locke put on the concentration monocle and took out a device equipped for him in the six towers of the wizard tower – the differential magic mirror. Then he dripped developer on the differential magic mirror. Suddenly, the internal details of the golden eye grass that Locke saw on the differential magic mirror became clearer.

The developer can further see the tiny internal structure of an object based on the combined effect of the differential magic mirror and the focus monocle.

“Hmm? The gold element formed fibers and wood element fibers, and mixed with the wood element crystal clusters of the Golden Eye Grass, reinforcing each other and even giving rise to gold element crystal clusters.”

Crystal clusters of the two elements spread throughout the cells of the golden-eye grass, entwining and mixing with each other, jointly strengthening the golden-eye grass.

“The appearance of a wood elemental crystal cluster is a typical characteristic of a One-Ring Magic Plant, but the Golden Eye Grass has a gold elemental crystal cluster. This clearly further enhances the One-Ring Magic Plant’s original strength. Is this why it was able to withstand Claudia’s full-strength attack?”

“However, further testing of the Golden Eye Grass is still needed,” Locke pondered. “Also, since there are a large number of frustrated civilian wizards here, perhaps I can directly ask them to work with me to develop botanical spells based on the three types of Eye Grass.”

“This is actually very easy to do in the Land of Six Towers. Although the wizards in the Land of Six Towers may be a little less skilled, it is easy to recruit first-ring wizards here.”

Locke handed the Golden Eye Grass and the Shadow Eye Grass to Claudia and said, “Use the enchanted device [Seedless Shield] on the Golden Eye Grass and the Shadow Eye Grass to seal their seed-retention ability. Then, take them to old wizard Collins and his students. Have them test the properties of these two Eye Grasses while testing the Shadow Eye Grass and report back to me.”

“By the way, tell them to keep all test reports confidential. If they ask where these two subspecies of eyeweed came from, just tell them I developed them within this month.”

“Remember to ask them not to leak the test data.”

Claudia raised her head and opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopping herself. She looked at Locke with more respect, and she could understand why Locke had such an outstanding status in the Filaid family.

In just one month, a single plant of eye grass was developed into two such powerful subspecies. This was something Claudia found difficult to understand, and she could only ultimately turn it into admiration and trust for Locke himself.

Claudia saluted Locke and said, “Yes, Master Augustine.”

Locke handed the testing work over to Wizard Collins, firstly to save trouble, and now he doesn’t have to do everything himself.

Since you have control over the funds, project-related equipment, and personal connections, you should fully utilize these advantages to delegate some of the work to others and let them do the work for you.

Secondly, all the data of Wizard Collins’ project is in his hands, and both parties have a tacit understanding and contract not to disclose the data to the outside world, so it is best to hand over this testing work to them.

They also need to test Youying Eye Grass themselves, and they have been developing the Eye Grass project for more than 30 years and are very familiar with it, so letting them test it is even better than doing it ourselves.

Besides, the test data is not a core secret, so it’s okay even if we give it to them.

During this period, Locke also synthesized eight new potions in his hands, but he did not come up with any special synthesis formulas. He just slightly improved the formulas and enhanced their effects.

But this also means that Locke currently has the improved formulas for eleven first-level potions in his hands, which is already the level of a powerful formal alchemist.

Locke came to Anthony’s mansion in the White Elephant Tower, and followed Peggy in a carriage driven by their family wizard, heading towards White Tower No. 2 – Dragon Tower.

Locke sat in the carriage and saw the fiery horse pulling the carriage in front and leaping in the air.

This kind of horse was created by the blood essence of the School of Spells in the Land of Six Towers. It was made using the blood of the Nightmare Demon from the Nightmare Plane and a kind of flame horse from the Main Material Plane. It can step on fire clouds and run in mid-air with amazing speed and endurance. It was originally a magic horse used to pull ore cargoes. Later, with the gradual improvement of its blood, it changed from being a pragmatic horse to a product of the pursuit of gorgeousness and appearance by family wizards. Therefore, it became taller and taller, and its fur became more and more beautiful, but it seemed that… its endurance would become lower.

Locke pondered, “Great Wizard Sura, did you wait for the outside world’s potion masters to stay in the Six Towers for several months before summoning them together?”

“Is it to help outside potion masters adapt to the land of the Six Towers?”

Very likely.

After all, the magic potion ingredients on the market in different regions are different, and each wizarding land is different due to the isolation and natural barriers.

For example, although both are middle magic areas, the magic tide concentration gradients in the southeast corner and the six towers are different. The concentration gradient here is two orders of magnitude higher than that in the southeast corner, so in the first month after Locke arrived, there was always chaos in magic power and constant fluctuations in magic pressure.

It wasn’t until the second month after arriving here that his magic power was tamed and he adapted to the concentration gradient of the magic tides here.

Locke pondered, “But it’s also possible that during this process, the great wizard Sura has sent people to observe secretly and eliminated some potion makers who were obviously problematic. Both are possible.”

Peggy and Locke were sitting in different carriages, so Peggy lifted the exquisite curtains of the carriage, stuck her head out, and said to Locke, “Locke, in a few hours, we will arrive at White Dragon Tower No. 2. The power of the family wizards in the White Dragon Tower is even more complicated, so you must be careful in everything you do.”

“The rules of the White Dragon Tower are even stricter than those of our Elephant Tower. That is the territory of the Plutarch and Ptolemy families.”

In the carriage, Locke said, “Okay, Peggy, I understand.”

The Ptolemy family’s territory was originally located on the White Dragon Tower. Does that mean the Ptolemy family is the direct descendant of the Plutarch family?

Locke hadn’t thought of this.

His expression suddenly became strange. The last time, the black wizard hired by the Ptolemy family killed a large number of wizards from the Plutarch family and even almost threatened Alicia’s life.

I wonder what the Plutarch family thinks of the Ptolemy family’s behavior.
