Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 404

Chapter 402: Burning Golden Sand and Flowing Sand to Cast the Holy Coffin

Chapter 402: Burning Golden Sand Flow: Sand-Casted Holy Coffin.
Great Wizard Sura said, “Just like you said, we need to be silent. So in terms of manpower, you can only use these natives.”

“Now you understand why I want to teach them magic. Furthermore, 500,000 magic stones is the maximum amount of private funds I can transfer to you while keeping it secret and allowing you to use it silently.”

“I don’t have any more.”

“I’ve specially trained Alicia on how to handle finances. She knows how to operate it, so you don’t need to worry about it.”

Locke thought about it for a moment, then nodded and took on the project. “Then, Great Wizard Sura, you must be prepared for failure. After all, you only gave me 500,000 magic stones.”

The great wizard Sura was about to speak.

“But I will make sure I give my all to this project,” Locke added.

The great wizard Sura thought for a moment. In fact, he didn’t trust anyone. Even if Locke assured him that he could complete the task, he would think that Locke was bragging in front of him.

No different from those wizards who flatter him all day long.

But Locke’s calmness in giving him a heads-up at this moment actually made Great Wizard Sura trust him somewhat. “No wizard can guarantee that their project will yield results. Don’t worry, I’m not so foolish as to not understand this.”

“You are my granddaughter’s savior, and what’s more…” The great wizard Sura glanced at Alicia’s eyes full of trust in Locke. Moreover, he also wanted to enhance Alicia’s prestige in the Six Towers. Now that she finally has someone who can do the job by her side, he naturally couldn’t bear to do anything dirty.

He wished that Locke’s ability would be stronger so that he could assist Alicia and continue to enhance Alicia’s prestige.

So far, Locke has been indirectly helping Alicia improve her prestige within the Plutarch family.

After all, no matter what the relationship between the two is, in the eyes of outsiders, Alicia is always the source of funds for Locke’s projects – the financier.

Great Wizard Sura said, “So, don’t worry about this. Just do your best.”

“Also, although your project is well described, whether it can help these natives perform first-level magic is still unknown. I’m just asking you to give it a try.”

The great wizard Sulla pointed at the primordial fire that was raging in different rooms on this floor and said, “I will temporarily give you the right to use this flame. As long as you remain in my Plutarch family, you can use this flame.”

“Even after you leave the Plutarch family, you cannot take the Primordial Fire with you. I will leave it in the family and keep it for you alone.”

“When you come back later, you can continue to use this primordial fire. I will keep it as one of my family’s secret treasures.”

“This is my reward for doing this project for me, and I will never withdraw it. But if you can truly make the project a success, I will consider whether to truly give you the Primordial Fire.”

“how?”

Locke glanced at the great wizard Sura and thought to himself, what an old fox.

Getting some funds from this old fox is much harder than talking to Alicia.

“This old fox deliberately unleashed the Primordial Fire’s restraints, letting it run wild and creating chaos. He could have bound it and given it to me.” Locke pondered, “Is he trying to test my strength?”

“What a dangerous old fox.”

“I’ve finally figured it out. I can’t believe a word he says. There’s a complete disconnect between what this guy says and what he does.”

Locke looked at Alicia, who was extremely innocent, and thought that Alicia hardly understood the subtext of the conversation and the exchange of interests between them.

I really don’t understand why such a cunning old fox would raise a granddaughter as innocent as Alicia.

Locke thought: “This exchange is actually not bad for me, because I am still confident that I can complete this project. But how can I be caught with just a primordial fire? How can such a good thing be possible?”

“This stingy old fox is really too optimistic.”

“I’m confident that it’s my ability, not that he’s being fair in this deal.”

‘No, this deal needs to be discussed again.’

‘Otherwise I’ll be at a loss.’

Locke pondered, “It’s him who needs me now, not me. This means I can take the initiative. This kind of thing has nothing to do with strength.”

“The main thing is that a Primordial Flame, no matter how precious it is, cannot help me directly advance to a Second Ring Wizard. What can truly help me advance to a Second Ring Wizard is advanced meditation methods and the knowledge of using the special resources of medium-sized worlds.”

“After all, these two kinds of knowledge are the most expensive in the wizarding world.”

The Primordial Fire has a price but no market, and there is not even a public selling price in the market, so it is difficult to measure its value. After all, for something without a selling price, how much it can be sold for depends on one’s own ability.

The primordial fire is indeed the most precious treasure for every potion master.

After all, with it, one could instantly go from a novice first-ring potion master to an excellent first-ring potion master, or even go further. Possessing it meant one could go further on the path of potion studies and pursue the creation of even more powerful potions.

But the problem is that Locke has a very clear mind. He cannot be like many other potion masters who lose sight of the main goal and focus on the trivial matters instead of improving his own magic level. Instead, he blindly improves… his potion master level.

This is like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

The knowledge of advancing to a crystallized wizard and a second-ring wizard is the most important to me.

Locke flipped his right hand, and a plant that looked like a green spiral staircase appeared – Sea Sand.

In just a moment, the sea of golden sand secreted a large amount of golden spore powder. Under the effect of the spell model [Golden Sand Torrent], the rolling sea of golden sand caught up with the primordial fire that was running around in the corridor, and surrounded it with the sea of golden sand.

“Sizzle~”

A ball of fire erupted in the sea of golden sand.

A large amount of gold sand was quickly melted by the flames. Only with the support of Locke’s 7000 magic pressure, these gold sands barely withstood the flames of the primordial fire. Moreover, their own abyss energy and the increasingly powerful bloodline of the golden two-headed dragon had a double strengthening effect on the sea gold sand.

Therefore, gradually, a shape of a pharaoh’s coffin was formed around the primordial fire, and a cross pattern appeared on the top of the coffin.

This magic completely sealed the primordial fire.

It was the fourth spell in the Botanical Magic [Burning Golden Sand Flow] series—[Sandcast Holy Coffin]!
Even after this sealing spell was completed, the Primordial Fire seemed to still be trembling. Locke immediately used the Great Green Leaf Dragon Bird, and a banana leaf resembling a green dragon’s wings appeared behind him. He also transformed his magic pressure into dragon might, applying it to the sandcast holy coffin, strengthening his sealing magic.

After 30 seconds, the sealing magic was completely completed, and the flame of the primordial fire was completely suppressed and sealed by Locke.

Although Locke was indeed a little tired, he opened his eyes wide, stood straight, threw the sealed primordial fire into his astral ring, and then looked at the great wizard Sura calmly.

In fact, apart from the two trump cards of the ferocious beast panel and the forest sanctuary, he has already used all other means.

But the more this happens, the more you cannot feel guilty.

When the great wizard Sura saw this scene, his pupils shrank slightly, and he was glad that he did not choose a darker direction because of Alicia.

That primordial fire was the violent king of fires. How could it be tamed so easily? Even he had spent a lot of effort and suffered a lot in order to capture that primordial fire.

But Locke was able to seal it in front of him without his help, and it looked so easy, as if it was effortless. It can be seen that the fighting ability of the wizard Locke should not be underestimated.

Although there was some of it, he had consumed a lot of the primordial fire and removed most of its ferocity. Moreover, this was not the center of the earth, and the terrain was not favorable for the primordial fire.

“If I fight him, I really don’t think I’ll have the upper hand. Although I can use ritual magic and the magic circle here, I’m just a clone after all. I only have the advantage in absolute strength.” The great wizard Sura looked at Alicia, “This is where I have a weak spot.”

“Furthermore, this kid’s strength is not weak either. He seems to have a special bloodline that is not inferior to the Scorpion Bloodline of our Plutarch family. It even makes the Scorpion Bloodline I cultivated here feel strange. I wonder what level of bloodline it is.”

“He seems to be able to harness the energy of the Abyss. He shouldn’t be underestimated. I’d better not have any other thoughts.” Great Wizard Sura found Locke quite difficult. “According to the rules and conducting honest transactions is, for me, the best way to maximize my profits.”

“If I insist on this, even my granddaughter might turn against me for this boy. I must not be so foolish as to ruin a good hand.”
