Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 392

Chapter 390 Six Towers of Journals

Chapter 390 Journal Six
Towers Louis Mine, Locke came to this underground mine. There is no natural light in this area, and the only light source is the magic lamp.

Moreover, there is a powerful radiation energy field in the mine. Locke saw that many mortals working in this mine were wearing protective suits made of apprentice-level magic alloys, but those protective suits were too simple and might not be of much use.

Moreover, the manufacturers of these protective suits, those family wizards, have withdrawn a lot of funds from them, so the quality of these protective suits is also a problem.

The institute is located deep within the Lewis Mine.

The Louis Mine mainly mines a mineral called opal, which is a secondary material for making the [Invisibility Potion], and the Invisibility Potion is one of the commonly used potions, so the Louis Mine is also the main industry of the Plutarch family.

And this industry is currently in the hands of Eric Plutarch.

The strange thing is that after this guy seemed to have investigated him, he not only did not take action against him, but also did not prevent him from taking over his two research institutes. He did not even do anything at the Louis Mine, such as cutting off the power supply to the institute.

After Locke arrived at the institute, he revealed his identity to everyone in the institute and took out the appointment letter from the senior members of the Plutarch family, which gave him the identity of the director of the institute.

Inside the institute, Locke summoned everyone in the institute.

There is a total of one official wizard in this institute, three first-class wizard apprentices, five second-class wizard apprentices, and a group of third-class wizard apprentices.

The official wizard is a middle-aged wizard named Takla.

“Hello, Director Augustine, I am Wizard Takla. You can tell me if you have any instructions.” Wizard Takla looked at Locke in surprise and suspicion, sizing him up and down, as if wondering why Locke could suddenly take over this project, and wondering in his heart who Locke was.

Moreover, the Louis Mine had already gradually transferred resources out of the research institute.

But after this person came, all these sneaky and harsh treatments stopped, as if they had never happened.

Locke looked at Wizard Takla and said, “Are you the person in charge of this project?”

Wizard Takla saluted Locke and said, “Director Augustine, I am not the person in charge of this project. The person in charge of this project is Lord Eric’s son, Lord George Plutarch.”

Locke looked strange. He had known this for a long time, having seen it in the documentation. “How could he, a first-class wizard apprentice, actually be able to conduct a special research project and even lead this research institute, bypassing you, a first-ring wizard?”

Wizard Takla gave a wry smile. “Sir, you’re joking. Sir George Plutarch is a direct descendant of the Plutarch family. He’s a genius, having published an A-level article at the academy at just twelve. He’s naturally qualified for this.”

Since he didn’t know the relationship between Locke and Eric’s family, he spoke cautiously.

Locke was speechless. He had already published an A-level article at the academy at the age of 12. Could he have written that himself?
Even when Sophia, the witch, first entered Lilith’s hut at the age of 16, had only published D-level articles.

It is too outrageous that the other party can publish A-level articles at the age of 12.

Locke shook his head slightly. Well, this is the magical land of six towers, so let’s not go into such things too much detail.

Apart from the association’s S-level articles which have some value, the rest are too watery.

The unique journal of the Six Towers Land, “Six Towers”, is also full of water.

Logically speaking, the journals published by the White Wizard Association in each wizarding land represent the highest level of magic research in that area. Even if there is some water in the information, the amount is not large.

All the articles that can be uploaded represent the most groundbreaking theoretical research in the local wizarding land.

But the “Six Towers” in the Six Towers Land are different from others. It seems that the water has no end.

The only requirement to get in is that you are a wizard of the middle rank or above from a famous family in the land of the Six Towers, and you must be a direct descendant.

These family wizards took turns publishing articles in “Six Towers”. Later, they gradually found that no matter what they wrote, it could be published, so from the beginning they would look for outstanding civilian wizards to represent them. Later, they just wrote whatever they wanted, as long as it was not graffiti.

This has led to the Six Towers in the Land of Six Towers becoming infamous.

Later, in order to change this situation, the great wizard Sulla ordered the Six Towers to be renamed the White Tower, hoping to reform it. However, halfway through the reform, he found that nothing had changed, so he changed the name of the White Tower back to the Six Towers.

Locke asked Wizard Takla, “So, you wrote the project application for this Gem Succulent?”

Wizard Takla hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and said immediately, “No, Master Augustine, that application was written by Master George Plutarch. Master George Plutarch is a genius, so…”

Locke was getting impatient. “Don’t bother telling me lies. I have a beef with them. A week ago, I almost beat up Eric. Even if he stood in front of me now, I’m afraid he wouldn’t dare say anything.”

“If it’s you, it’s you. If it’s not you, it’s not you. In one sentence.”

Wizard Takla was stunned when he heard this. He looked Locke up and down again, feeling a little shocked. He wondered what kind of background this person had to have to say such domineering words.

For a moment, Wizard Takla had many thoughts in his mind, and finally he finally told the truth, “Yes, Lord Augustine, I wrote that application. What makes me upset is that I presented the project application to Lord Eric, hoping to get his funding, but he told me that it is impossible to fund me.”

“Unless I am willing to give this project application to Lord Eric’s son, the first-class wizard apprentice George!”

Wizard Takla clenched his fist unwillingly and said through gritted teeth, “I really don’t want to accept this, but what else can I do?”

“After all, there are still many civilian wizards who don’t even have such an opportunity. But later, because of George’s messing around at the institute, I have been conducting research for ten years without making any progress.”

“well.”

Locke nodded slightly. Wizard Eric’s son George is indeed in his forties now, but the wizard has too many means to stay young, so he looks like a teenager.

However, for a first-ring wizard whose lifespan is measured in five hundred years, a fifty-year-old wizard is indeed no different from a child.

Locke nodded slightly. “I’ve looked at your budget, and it’s pretty much what I expected. Here’s the new research plan I’ve drawn up. Take a look.”

Wizard Takla took the plan handed over by Locke and was shocked. Just from Locke’s arrangements, he could confirm that the other party was definitely an expert and had a lot of experience in hosting projects.

The other party knows what equipment is needed for research, what needs to be done every day, and how much work a wizard can do every day according to different levels.

The plans made are all very reliable.

Locke said to Wizard Takla, “At present, there are mainly two things that need to be changed. First, fine-tune the research direction.”

“We’ve changed the idea of storing energy light particles to cause self-destruction, and now have the Gem Succulent infuse light elements back into its own vesicles. Utilizing the elemental backflow principle of the One Ring Magic Plant, we can cause the Gem Succulent to self-destruct.”

“That is, to cultivate a diamond succulent.”

“Secondly, our Louis Underground Mine Research Institute holds two group meetings per week, on Mondays and Fridays. I will preside over them, and you will be responsible for reporting progress to me at those times.”

“Cancel the multi-level management system. All project plans in the hands of wizards will be followed up and designed by me, and you will be responsible for their implementation.”

At present, Locke’s breeding level has reached a certain height.

When Locke was in charge of this type of project in the Firaide family, he did not dare to manage it directly and had to rely on the person in charge of the project to conduct research. But now Locke has simply made drastic changes, fine-tuning the research direction and changing the research methods.

This is both the result of his progress in breeding and a process in which he gains more research experience.

Wizard Takla immediately understood that Locke wasn’t one of those wizards from prestigious families who hoarded resources without producing anything. He looked at Locke with genuine respect, and suddenly felt a surge of hope for the future of the institute.

Wizard Takla said to Locke, “Okay, Director Augustine.”

“We will follow your arrangements. Your ability to restart the institute is exactly what everyone in our institute hopes to happen.”

“Thank you for your patronage to our Louis Underground Research Institute again.”

A look of excitement appeared on Wizard Takla’s face. As a civilian wizard, he was worried every day about the fact that the institute had essentially shut down and lost its function.

But because he had no way or channel to obtain funds in the land of the Six Towers, he could only let things take their own course. But he didn’t expect that after his daily efforts to keep things bad, he actually waited for a turning point.

Wizard Takla thought to himself, “Could this be my chance to change my luck?”

“Locke Augustine, his last name is not Plutarch, why does he have such great power in the Plutarch family?”

“Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with me.” Wizard Takla turned and invited Locke, “Director Augustine, please come in.”

“Leighton Frederick, quickly clean up our conference room.” Wizard Takla suppressed his excitement and said to Locke, “Director, I want to report to you on our recent research results. Those are the parts that have not been reported to the higher-ups because no one cared about them before.”

“Please…”
