Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 406

Chapter 404: Time Flow and Soul Studies

The great wizard Sura waved his hand, and suddenly a detained demon let out a painful wail.

Then, in less than 30 seconds, the demon’s body quickly changed from a fleshy state to the appearance of a stone man, and then its body began to crack.

Then, the demon’s body collapsed and turned into pieces of stones that fell to the ground and rolled. A twisted earth energy burst out from its dead body, ignoring the obstruction of numerous magic arrays, and quickly passed through the magic alloy metal material ground of the laboratory, entered the earth veins, and headed towards an unknown direction.

After seeing the tragic death of their companion, the other nine-headed demons, whose IQ was only similar to that of higher mammals, immediately roared in grief, but they were unable to break free from the magic chains that were bound to their body surface and completely integrated with their body parts.

Those magic chains are the masterpiece of wizards from the School of Protection and alchemists. They are a first-level sealing magic [Sealing Chains]. These chains can be tied to a person’s body and combined with his body tissues.

Cannot be forced free.

Because once it breaks free, it will also destroy its own body. It is a common alchemical item used to restrain first-level creatures. It is very valuable, and this level of sealing item cannot be purchased in general places.

The great wizard Sura said, “I specifically captured these demons and used them for experiments. The first goal was to find the place where the demonic energy gathered, and the second was to find a way to prevent the demonic energy from escaping into the earth veins and heading to unknown places.”

“Unfortunately, I’m not a Constructor of the School of Evolution, a sub-specialty in earth magic, nor am I an Earth Wizard of the School of Life. Therefore, I can never fully grasp the number of ley lines in this world, let alone the location where demonic energy is concentrated,” Great Wizard Sura said distressedly. “Furthermore, no matter what magical materials I use or how I restrain demons, I can’t prevent their demonic energy from flowing into the ley lines after death.”

“As time goes on, I’m afraid something bad will happen in the veins of this plane that I can’t even predict.”

There were no wizards in the Land of Six Towers who were good at these two areas, and he didn’t dare to send people to look for powerful architects and earth wizards as he did to recruit potion masters. He could only look up some information and do some related research on his own.

Locke watched this scene and pondered, “Those demonic energies are originally variations of the earth’s energy. Therefore, no matter what magic alloys or materials you, Great Wizard Sura, replace, it will be difficult to block the natural conduction of the earth’s energy.”

“The other party is exploiting the underlying principles and mechanisms of the world. If the energy of the world’s earth veins can be cut off so easily, then this world will become very fragile, and it will be easy for energy to be cut off.”

Locke plugged in the formula, mentally calculating the consequences of his modification of the world’s underlying principles. “Then this world would become a magma ocean and an ice ocean at the junction. Clearly, this world isn’t like that; it’s a plane of life, so the flow of ley lines is incredibly high. No matter what magical materials you, Great Wizard Sura, use, it’s difficult to control the effects of this ley line energy.”

Obviously, this mechanism was designed by a very mature dark wizard.

The entire wizard plane is a chessboard where the great wizard Sura and the dark wizard fight each other across the air.

The current game is a war between the Mage Saint Hall City and the demon race.

Locke pondered, “But the magic plant naturally absorbs the energy of the earth veins and consolidates the energy of the earth veins in an area. If we use the magic plant method, we may be able to prevent the demonic energy from flowing into the earth vein energy.”

The Great Wizard Sura’s eyes suddenly lit up. He turned to look at Locke and said, “Locke, do you have a solution? Then, Locke, please help me with this second project.”

Locke’s heart skipped a beat. ‘Oh no! This stingy old man wants to exploit me again. I actually fell for his trick. Does this guy think I’m a perpetual motion machine? I have to help him solve the problem of the natives using one-ring magic, and I also have to help him block the demonic energy from flowing into the earth veins.’

“I have to manage three projects and organize people to play games…”

Locke looked at the Great Wizard Sura in silence, his eyes deliberately showing surprise. “This old man is really too cunning. He is deliberately trying to see if he can exploit my labor force.”

“No, I refuse immediately. Even if I do have some spare energy, I have to spend my time on myself.” Locke shook his head. “No.”

As a look of deep regret crossed the face of the Great Wizard Sura, Locke calmly stated the truth. “In this mage plane, you can only give me a total of 500,000 magic stones. With this little money, I can save and complete your first project, which is already a good thing.”

“I absolutely cannot give you another project. Great Wizard Sura, I can’t do that. If you’re interested, you can find another excellent breeder.”

Locke said modestly: “After all, I am just an ordinary breeder.”

Locke became more and more suspicious that the great wizard Sura wanted to take advantage of the situation and let him take over the second project, squeezing his time while letting him use his own money to subsidize the second project.

Although this guess was a bit outrageous, Locke became more and more suspicious that this was the real thought of the old fox in front of him.

It is very common in the wizarding world for senior wizard mentors to exploit students and junior mentors.

A look of regret crossed the face of the Great Wizard Sura. “Well, forget it. I’ll just do my own research. The more people know about this, the less safe it becomes.”

For the great wizard Sura, Locke had not made any achievements in breeding in the Six Towers, especially in the Plutarch family, so the great wizard Sura had no idea about Locke’s breeding level. He just estimated that based on Locke’s past qualifications and the status of a normal first-ring wizard-level senior breeder, what Locke said might indeed be true.

Just helping him with the first project would require all his energy, so the great wizard Sura did not force him. Instead, he was a little worried that Locke would be distracted and not complete any project.

The Great Wizard Sura said, “I’ll take you out of this plane now. Because the plane’s gravity affects the speed of space and time, coupled with the influence of some other complex factors, the time in the wizard plane is not one-to-one with that in our wizard world.”

“Roughly speaking, six days have passed in the Mage Plane, and one day has passed in the Wizarding World.”

“So, it’s only been about half a night since you returned to the wizarding world.”

Locke calculated in his mind that the layout of the great wizard Sura in this wizard plane only started fifty years ago, not three hundred years ago, for the timeline of the wizarding world.

He’s clearly using two bodies to circumvent the different speeds of time in his two worlds, which could cause him to age prematurely or waste his lifespan. Locke pondered, “But, ultimately, his soul still needs to travel back and forth between the two worlds. Logically, since he only has two bodies unaffected by the flow of time, his soul shouldn’t be just five hundred years old.”

“So, the body can affect the soul?”

“So, the lifespan of the Great Wizard Sura in the wizarding world is only close to 500 years, not reaching the lifespan limit of a first-ring wizard?”

Locke glanced at the old fox in front of him and thought: “Then judging from the experience of the great wizard Sura, the body should be as important as the soul, instead of my soul being the most important thing as I thought.”

“After returning, you can look up some information related to the science of the soul. This part of the knowledge is indeed quite interesting. The relationship between the body and the soul seems to be interactive, rather than a one-sided one.”
