Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 399

Chapter 397: The Calculations of the Prophecy School

In the carriage, Helen immediately set her sights on Locke’s left arm, a look of confusion flashing across her eyes. “Your Majesty, what’s on your hand…”

Helen suddenly became nervous, “Could it be that you are a demon traitor…”

Before she finished speaking, Alicia raised her right hand, and the charm bracelet on her wrist released a strange red light towards her eyes. Immediately, the powerful human charm technique of the Enchanting School penetrated into the brain and soul of this third-class wizard apprentice, forcibly changing her mind.

Then Helen turned her head and stared at the back of Locke’s left hand. She clearly saw the blue cross birthmark, but she said, “Oh, I’m sorry, Your Majesty, I was mistaken.”

“I’m so sorry.”

Alicia glanced at the indigenous woman and continued, “Although she can use magic, and the power of her spells is close to that of a third-class wizard apprentice, her soul is so fragile. The power system of this world is problematic and seriously flawed. It seems to exist only by being attached to something. Locke, what should we do with the back of your hand now?”

Locke cast a 0.3-ring illusion on the back of his right hand. This was a temporary spell model based on the fact that he was a wizard in the first-ring liquefied stage. It was a magic of the illusion school that was forcibly cast.

Although it is only 0.3 rings, I think it should correspond to the magic level of the great wizard in this world. It should be enough to deceive a few guards.

I saw a light film appear on the back of his right hand, and the light film gradually covered the entire palm, but soon the light film suddenly shattered.

The illusion actually failed.

Alicia asked in confusion, “What’s going on?”

Locke looked at his right hand, frowning. “It’s the magical power of the School of Prophecy. That magical power constantly lingers around us, trying to lock onto the future’s countless possibilities, the ones he most desires.”

“So, this 0.3 ring magic was completely ineffective. This is because, among countless futures, this magic was chosen as the worst possible outcome. Its weakest point suddenly exploded, and the spell immediately lost its effect.”

“Alicia, a powerful First Ring wizard from the School of Prophecy has come to oppose us. You’d better be mindful of your powerful Charm Human spell. I believe that under the influence of the opponent’s magic, the duration of your powerful Charm Human spell will be much shorter than you think.”

Alicia looked puzzled. “Why, Locke, are you so sure that the other person is a First Ring Wizard?”

The next moment, Alicia, whose thoughts were controlled by the powerful charm, suddenly struggled with her eyes and showed a tendency to get out of control.

At the same time, the curtain of the carriage was actually lifted. The other party did not respond for a long time, so the soldier actually wanted to come in directly.

“Tear~”

The curtain was lifted, and the human guard glanced at the people in the carriage with confusion. “Why has no one come down for so long? What’s going on?”

“Sir, you see this is the person in the carriage.”

An old man in a yellow cloak, the mage of the Dharma Master level, appeared in front of the carriage with a gray staff. He glanced at everyone, Alicia, Locke, Helen, and the other four adventurers.

“Yeah, nothing wrong. Maybe he was too nervous to see a high-level mage like me.”

“Let them go.”

Alicia took a look and saw Locke put his left hand directly into the wizard robe, and at the same time let her cast a powerful charm human spell on everyone around her.

This is a first-ring magic after all, and among the people around, there is only one Dharma Master-level wizard who is a first-class wizard apprentice with a magic pressure of 600.

Logically, even if weakened by the magic of prophecy, this powerful spell of charming humans can still work on these natives.

As long as we don’t force it, let these natives see Locke’s left hand, but change the ideas in their minds and let them pretend not to see it.

In other words, the back of his left hand is the key, so wrap it with clothes and use physical isolation to solve the problem.

Several adventurers breathed a sigh of relief and quickly drove the carriage into the city. At the same time, Helen looked up in the carriage and found that the two wizards sitting in the carriage had disappeared at some point.

After a while, Helen and the four adventurers felt that the memories of their previous encounters with the two strange Popes were becoming less and less. Half an hour later, the five of them had completely forgotten any memories of the so-called Popes.

Outside the city, Locke and Alicia were walking in the middle of the road. Alicia said to Locke, “I have followed your request and used a powerful human charm to force them to forget all memories of us.”

“My one-ring magic weapon is quite useful as long as it doesn’t involve the birthmark on your left hand.”

“This should reduce the interference from the wizards of the prophecy school.”

Locke nodded and said, “You asked me before how I could be sure he was a first-ring wizard. I deduced it based on the level of interference from his prophecy magic. I forcibly used a small illusion of 0.3 ring, but the illusion immediately lost its effect. However, your first-ring magic, used to cover the birthmark on the back of my hand, was able to maintain its effect for a while.”

“Based on the interference the opponent has on your magic weapon, we can reversely calculate the opponent’s approximate level, which is about the first ring crystallization stage.”

Alicia’s eyes flashed with seriousness. “A crystallized prophecy wizard is against us? No wonder. This is a tricky matter. Who could he be? And what does it have to do with my grandfather’s illness?”

Locke pointed to the road ahead and said, “I’ve asked you to use a powerful human charm to control the mind of that Dharma Master and implant a concept in his mind that tells him to return to the Dharma Hall and report to his superiors.”

“I believe that as long as we go to that so-called Dharma Saint Hall, all the truth will come to light.”

“It now appears that this plane is not a free plane. A wizard from the main plane has already deeply colonized here and assimilated with the locals. All the natives are almost all tools of the wizards who control this place.”

“The mage system here is nothing more than a ridiculous eco-bottle transformed by a wizard at the first ring crystallization stage.”

Locke and Alicia followed secretly all the way back to the so-called Holy Hall of Mage. Along the way, they heard many passers-by discussing a prophecy – a demon spy disguised as a human would kill the great wizard Sura and lead the demons to a complete victory this year.

Three days later, they followed the Dharma Master-level mage and finally arrived at the so-called Dharma Saint Hall.

It was a city located in the forest. A tall white tower that looked like a white dragon was located in the middle of the city. There were also wizard towers of various sizes in the city.

Locke looked at Alicia strangely. “Alicia, did your grandfather move the miniature version of the White Dragon Tower and the Wizard Tower into this medium-sized plane?”

Alicia looked at the White Dragon Tower before her, which looked like a miniature version at best and a more modest version at worst, and was a little speechless. “How come I didn’t know about this massive project before? What on earth was my grandfather working on in secret?”

Locke looked towards the city of the Holy Hall of Law, and saw many caves on the ground of the city. The inside of those caves was dark, but there seemed to be some kind of echo coming out of those caves.

“Those elemental particles, directed by those mages, all emerged from the caves of this city…”

Locke understood. “So that’s how it is. Those elemental particles that can be commanded by those mages with that ridiculous chanting all originate from that cave. Those mages believe they can control all the elemental particles in the world, but that’s just an illusion. Only the elemental particles that emerge from these caves are under their command, becoming what they call elemental spirits.”

“In other words, this Mage Saint Hall is the source of power for this world. Did your grandfather build a city here that can serve as the energy source for this world’s power system?”

“Hmm… this city also borrowed a lot of technology from the Mage Tower,” Locke said. “Look, those trees growing next to the caves on the surface of this city are the source of the staffs. The staffs are locators, and only the mage holding the staff can drive those elemental particles.”

“In a sense, the magic hidden behind those caves is almost becoming a natural cycle in this world… Wait, is this your grandfather’s purpose?”

Alicia looked puzzled. “Why would my grandfather allow his magic to become the natural cycle of a colonized world?”

“However, the power properties of that cave… are indeed very similar to the [Dark Cave Scorpion Woman] that my grandfather spent fifty years researching.”

Locke felt a sudden burning pain on the back of his left hand.

He looked forward and saw that in front of the city of the Holy Hall of Law, there was a huge black mass of demon army.

There are more demons coming out of the ground. They seem to have dug all the way from far away, underground, just to launch a surprise attack on the city.

Those demon tribes seemed to want to attack this city.

The leader, a demon giant over ten meters tall, kept roaring and demanding that the city hand over a person – Alicia Edward.

If they don’t hand it over, they will attack the city immediately, and according to the prophecy, the demon with the birthmark on his hand will kill the great wizard Sura according to the prophecy.

Alicia Plutarch was standing next to him, and Locke looked at her in confusion. “Did your grandfather create a copy of you in the colonized world?”

“He has two homes?”

Alicia shook her head quickly. “How should I know, Locke? This city might not have been built by my grandfather.”

“Who is Alicia Edward…?”

A cold voice suddenly appeared beside them, and a wizard wearing a yellow cloak and surrounded by a special power appeared beside the Dharma Master.

“Alicia Edward is the proud disciple of my teacher, Archmage Sura. Today, she will become the 32nd Mage Saint of our Mage Plane.”

“She is also the one most favored by the teacher, like the teacher’s granddaughter. And when she becomes the 32nd Mage Saint in this world today, my teacher, the Great Mage Sura, will also become a Mage God.”

“But by then, all of you demons will die.”

An indigenous Dharma Saint unexpectedly descended upon the Dharma Master. He gave the Dharma Master a cold look and said, “You were followed by those demons all the way, and you didn’t even notice?”

Fazun then turned around in horror and saw Locke and Alicia standing behind him.

Locke smiled and said to the Mage Saint, “You don’t have to blame him. After all, he is just a first-class wizard apprentice. On the contrary, you…”

“I see. No wonder he’s immune to powerful human charms.”

It turns out that the magic saints in this world are truly equivalent to official wizards in the wizarding world.

Moreover, the native in front of him was shrouded in a unique power. He did not use a permanent defensive force field to break through the limits of his race and become a transcendent, but used another method.

The Sage’s eyes flashed coldly. “Foolish demons, how dare you appear before us again? Have you forgotten that twenty years ago we completely defeated you and nearly wiped you out?”

“We have something you’ll never have, territory!”

The next moment, the depths of the Mage Saint’s soul suddenly exploded, and a field of about 1,000 meters spread out from his body, covering Locke and Alicia. At the same time, the elemental particles that drilled out from the caves on the ground of the Mage Saint Hall all filled his field.

Every elemental particle within his domain was completely transformed into the kind of elemental particle that could completely listen to his words and be manipulated by him.

Thus, a unique field was formed.

Alicia was still confused. After all, she was only faster than Locke in thinking about potions. In other areas, her talent was average.

Locke reacted quickly. “So that’s what it is. This is what’s called a domain. Using this domain replaces the permanent defense field, it forms a special field that envelops one’s soul. Within this field, one can break through the limits of their race and increase the magic pressure to over a thousand.”

“Furthermore, this domain is different from the permanent defense field, so it has many wonderful uses. However, there are even greater problems. First, it completely relies on the giant magic circle under the Mage Saint Hall. After all, the entire mage system relies on that magic.”

“In other words, everyone in this world who becomes a mage will become a tool of the wizard hidden in the dark, becoming his student, helping him to run this power system and adding bricks and tiles to his magic.”

“Secondly, this realm and the soul are two different things after all. They are not safe at all and are considered external objects.”

“Third, the domain doesn’t seem to be as strong as the permanent defense field. Its strength is limited, which limits the upper limit of the mage system.”

In a flash, Locke thought quickly.

At the same time, the Sage Mage stared at Locke’s left hand, his gaze suddenly fixed. “Damn demon, are you the Son of Prophecy? Then I must kill you. Sensei is a great sage and scholar who brought magic to this world.”

“I won’t let you threaten my teacher.”

Facing his murderous intent, Locke said indifferently: “Can you do it?”

The next moment, the sky darkened, centered around the Mage Saint’s domain. The entire area was shrouded in darkness. “The gods said, ‘Let there be a flame to light up the world.’ And so the world had its first flame.”

In the darkness, a flame appeared, and countless forces gathered towards that flame.

The elemental particles in the entire field have been completely manipulated.

Therefore, the situation in this area changed according to the thoughts of this Dharma Saint.
