Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 409

Chapter 407 Yunze Cup

At noon, Locke came to the library of the White Dragon Tower. Unlike the first time he entered the Plutarch family, no one noticed him.

At this moment, his status in the Plutarch family made him a popular figure around Alicia, so many students, and even the official wizard instructors of the White Dragon Magic Gem University, nodded and greeted him.

The library in the Land of Six Towers does not have a points system, which means that contribution points are not required, but it is restricted by rights.

Students or wizards of higher status have higher authority, while students or wizards of lower status have only the lowest authority.

The permissions are ranked from high to low, from level one to level seven.

Locke even saw an ordinary official wizard sitting low-key in the corner of the library. He seemed to be of common origin and was not a wizard from the Plutarch family or its affiliated families. He became an official wizard entirely by relying on his talent and some luck, so he actually only had level 4 authority.

This resulted in him being unable to access any valuable books and he could only sit in a corner with three apprentice-level documents in front of him, and then sit alone at a desk with nothing to do.

Locke glanced at the badge on his chest and found that this guy was just an assistant coach.

As Locke scanned the area, he made the absurd discovery that some wizard instructors at the White Dragon Magic Gem University were actually only first-class wizard apprentices.

This is simply absurd and ridiculous.

It can be said that it is a rare wonder in wizard civilization.

A first-ring wizard serves as an assistant teacher, and a first-class wizard apprentice serves as a formal wizard mentor, simply because one of them is a civilian wizard and the other is a direct family wizard of Plutarch.

A wizard of the direct descendant of the Plutarch family, he is a distant relative of Alicia in terms of kinship. He wears a badge on his chest representing his position as a wizard instructor at the White Dragon Magic Gem University. He is also the director of the library.

The director of the White Dragon Library saluted Locke. He almost regarded Locke as a favorite of Alicia. He also heard about the confrontations between Locke and Lord Eric, in which Lord Eric suffered losses several times.

This further solidified the director’s opinion of Locke, and he flattered Locke: “Master Augustine, huh? This is… Hahaha, you own the White Dragon Ring and even the Scorpion Ring of our Plutarch family. This means that you are the most distinguished guest of our Plutarch family.”

“You have Level 2 access, which means you can access all books and documents except for the most core secret knowledge of Plutarch.”

“What book would you like to read?”

“How can I be of service to you?”

Locke nodded and said, “Director, I need some information about the Yunze Cup.”

The library director’s eyes flashed with confusion, and it was obvious that he had never heard of what the Yunze Cup was.

But the Yunze Cup definitely cannot be some secret knowledge that only a few people know.

The other party didn’t know, just for one reason, that is, the other party was different from those dwarf general scholars in Lilith’s Hut. Those dwarf scholars took reading books as their life goal, but the heads of these libraries in the Six Towers were all family wizards who were just sitting in their positions and doing nothing, and their knowledge reserves were extremely limited.

It is not easy to do your job well.

The director of the library immediately saluted Locke with a smile and walked away. Then, with a dark face, he started yelling at some civilian wizard apprentices working in the library.

“Go search for relevant literature on the Yunze Cup right away. Do you know what the Yunze Cup is? It’s such a profound thing, I bet you don’t know. So take your time to search!”

“This is what Lord Augustine wants!”

The director of the library completely ignored the family wizard apprentices working in the library. It was not because they had any great background, but they were all students from the lower-class small families of the Plutarch family.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to work in a place like a library.

But the problem is that they really have no ability. If they were asked to find information, Augustine would probably have to wait for a whole day.

In this library, those who can work are basically wizards of common origin.

Ten minutes later, a bespectacled first-class wizard apprentice, somewhat guiltily carrying a pile of documents, came before the library director. “Director, these are all the Yunze Cup documents in the entire library.”

The librarian was unconvinced. “So fast? Found it in ten minutes? Who are you trying to fool?”

“This is Lord Augustine, I can’t afford to offend him.” The director said in a low voice.

The first-class wizard apprentice said guiltily, “A week ago, I sorted out the commonly used materials, including the information about the Yunze Cup. So, I directly brought all the information related to the Yunze Cup over here.”

The first-class wizard apprentice looked at the director with hope, “Director, I don’t dare to even attempt to be the Rising Star in General Studies in the library this year, but could you please give me the spot for Outstanding Library Staff?”

“I want to speed up the growth of my magic power. Director, I’m almost forty years old. If I can’t become a formal wizard before I’m forty…”

He looked up, but he didn’t expect that although he had made such a great contribution, the library director’s face was as cold as ice.

The library director glanced at him coldly. “Got it. What’s yours is definitely yours. You’re the most capable person in the entire library. I’ve seen it all.”

A look of hope flashed across the face of this first-class wizard apprentice. Could it be that this time he really had a chance to get a spot and thus obtain the corresponding magical resources?

The moment the librarian turned around, his expression was gloomy to the extreme. “What are these common wizards thinking? They’re practically crazy trying to get ahead. They’re actually asking me directly for a few resources, thinking they’ll be rewarded for their hard work. They’re crazy, and they’re not content at all.”

“If it weren’t for the great wizard Sura, the wizard academy wouldn’t have allowed common wizards to enter. Only the children of wizard nobles would have been allowed to study.”

“How dare you mock me? The Yunze Cup is a common thing. Humph, that was proposed by Lord Augustine from the outside world. How can it be common?”

When the director of the library walked up to Locke, a flattering smile appeared on his face again. In his opinion, Locke was a famous potion master from the outside world and a distinguished guest of the Plutarch family. He was holding two magical weapons of great significance to the Plutarch family. The respect of his status might be even greater than that of Lord Eric.

Therefore, when the library director served Locke, he was extremely polite and considerate, which made people feel very comfortable.

Locke glanced at the director and shook his head slightly. It was indeed the land of six towers. It was so magical that it couldn’t be more magical.

Locke focused his attention on the Yunze Cup. He quickly flipped through the materials and found out that there was a Yunyuan next to the Yunze Wetland. It was bottomless and went straight underground. Because the Yunyuan was bottomless and had a very large diameter, and because of some special magical airflow phenomena, a hanging lake was formed on the top of the Yunyuan. Therefore, the Yunyuan was also called Yunhu.

Locke looked at the topographic map of Yunhu Lake in the book. No matter how he looked at it, for some reason, he felt that Yunhu Lake was shaped like an eye.

There is a bottomless pit below Yunhu Lake. Many creatures live in the cracks of the cave walls. It is a natural shelter and also a place where the waste products of failed experiments in Yunze Wetland are dumped.

Among them is a group of cyborgs called the Mekanians who escaped from the cyborg synthesis laboratory of the School of Theology in the past thirty years. They are growing and developing in the laboratory and have destroyed part of the economy of the White Wizards.

Locke quickly flipped through the information. “The Mechani are the purpose of the Yunze Cup. This experimental lifeform is the product of a special project that went awry at a university near Yunze Lake. It’s a metallic lifeform created through collaboration between alchemists and prosthetics masters from the Dark Wizardry. It’s equipped with numerous mechanical weapons from the alchemy school’s sub-discipline of mechanical magic.”

“The Yunze Cup has two main purposes. The first is to prevent this experiment from getting out of control.”

“Secondly, eliminating this out-of-control experiment will definitely require a huge amount of funds. Because it involves a second-ring wizard experiment that went out of control, the Mekanians are very powerful. Therefore, the Yunze Cup uses competition to cultivate talent, using the Mekanians to select talented breeders in the Eastern Boundary.”

“Use magic plants to fight against the cyborgs of mechanical alchemy.”
