Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 479

Chapter 477 I can’t catch up, stop chasing!

Above the Cloud Lake, Wizard Edgar’s treeman clone and his original body plunged into the Cloud Lake without any hesitation. However, the area below the Cloud Lake was vast and dark, so after he entered the bottomless pit below the Cloud Lake, he immediately lost his direction.

Wizard Edgar manipulated the three ancient war trees through his natural incarnation, and simultaneously ordered them to unfold the war field and form a special phase space to capture hostility.

Wizard Edgar stared at the endless darkness around him, his face grim. “Oh no! I was just a step too slow and missed the Iron Fortress. If Locke Augustine had taken it first, I’d have been the runner-up.”

Wizard Edgar’s expression changed several times. He was the center of attention in the Sun Shadow Peninsula. He had never failed in anything he did, and he would succeed if he wanted to do it.

No matter what competition he participated in, he always won first place.

“This area of Yunze Wetlands is so weird.” Wizard Edgar controlled the tree-man of the Ancient Tree of Life and was surprised to find that even the Ancient Tree of Life could not maintain the balance between the replenishment and consumption of its own magic power in this area.

Moreover, the war field that could originally capture the enemy’s malicious intent had its sensing range reduced to at least one tenth in this area, which made Wizard Edgar not very confident in finding the headquarters of the Mekanians.

“Going back and clearing out those Mekani people on the ground, the points earned will be of no use to me.”

Wizard Edgar pondered, “The difference in points between Locke and me shouldn’t be that big. The key to victory or defeat lies in who among us can find the Iron Fortress.”

“In fact, my score should be lower than Locke’s.”

“He was the one who broke through the simulated permanent defense field.”

Wizard Edgar said, “We can only search bit by bit. I hope we can find it here. After all, the environment of the Yunze Wetland is too strange, and this Cloud Lake in the Three Lakes Land is too strange. Under a lake, there is actually a bottomless pit.”

Wizard Edgar looked down and found that there was a bottomless pit below him, like a mouth of darkness. It was said that there were thousands of projects exploring the depth of the bottomless pit in Yunze Wetland every year, with countless related funds. There were even special competitions set up to explore the maximum depth of the bottomless pit. But so far, it seems that the maximum depth of the bottomless pit has never been found out.

This bottomless pit is full of mysteries.

In comparison, the sky curtain of their Sun Shadow Peninsula has been studied more clearly. The wizards of the ancient Shaping School’s shadow magic sub-direction and the Spellcasting School’s shadow manipulation magic sub-direction jointly created a special astronomical phenomenon, which caused the Sun Shadow Peninsula to be in shadow almost all year round, turning it into the shadow land of the world.

Wizard Edgar’s war field sensed that there was a living being approaching. He looked up and saw that it was Witch Diana, who was approaching quickly on roller skates on the ice road, with the fragrance of osmanthus around her.

Wizard Edgar just took a breath of the sweet fragrance of osmanthus and felt as if every cell in his body was frozen.

The sweet scent of osmanthus is poisonous.

Witch Diana approached Edgar, holding two laurel leaf knives, and said, “Edgar, have you seen the fortress of Locke and the Mechani people?”

Wizard Edgar nodded slightly. “I think I saw it. I’ll find it soon.”

“It’s just a matter of time.”

Witch Diana frowned. “As if? Very quickly? Oh, it seems you didn’t see it. Otherwise, with your personality, you would never speak like that.”

Witch Diana looked around. “Is this the bottomless pit of Cloud Lake? We can’t go any deeper into it. I heard there are special cavities inside the pit caused by gravity. It’s a special phenomenon caused by the gravitational difference. Moving here is extremely dangerous.”

“It’s just a matter of probability that something will happen.”

Wizard Edgar said indifferently, “As a wizard, you have to explore dangerous places. Well, we are still in the competition. Let’s search separately. Whether we can find Locke and the Mechani will depend on our own methods.”

…

On the other side, in the bottomless pit,
Locke chased to the top of the steel fortress, but saw that the Mekanians suddenly stopped attacking him. Locke fell into confusion, but still chose to observe carefully.

“Strange, why did the Mekanians stop attacking?”

Locke saw that countless standard square component robots in the iron fortress began to gather together, forming a sea of sand and turning into a huge Gundam. Locke frowned and sea sand appeared in his hand.

The golden sand turned into a spiral spear, and with the power of the two bloodlines, its power became even stronger. Locke was about to recite the spell of the Golden Fern Spear.

But at this moment, a special teleportation array rune of the School of Spells suddenly appeared in a corner of the Iron Fortress. Then a space magic sub-direction of the School of Spells fell, and an old wizard wearing a dark blue wizard robe with sun and moon patterns appeared in the magic circle.

“Wait a moment, Breeder Augustine, please wait a moment.”

A kind smile appeared on the old man’s face, and he wore several dazzling badges on his chest. One badge represented that he was a second-ring wizard, one badge represented his current highest breeding achievement, which was an honorary gold badge for developing a second-ring plant that Locke had never seen before, and another badge represented that he had won the title of young cadre wizard, and he was a young cadre.

Qinggan is a second-ring-level title, which is both an honor and represents a certain fund allocation.

Locke immediately saluted the Second Ring Wizard. “Second Ring Wizard, may I ask why you are here…”

The second-ringed old wizard smiled gently. “I’m the director of the Yunze Cup Tournament Committee Office in Bonifacius. You can call me Wizard Eberhard Morrison.”

Locke politely addressed him, “Hello, Director Morrison.”

Wizard Morrison smiled with satisfaction. No one would mind if the young man was polite. “Locke, don’t fight anymore. You’ve already won the championship. Most of the judges gave you the highest score.”

“And the Mechani fortress… can’t be caught up. There’s no other way. The Mechani run too fast, and they’re protected by the natural barrier of Cloud Lake. Even for an outstanding young wizard like you, it’s normal for them to escape if you’re not careful.”

Locke blinked and immediately understood what the other party meant. At the same time, he noticed that there was no true vision crystal around.

At that time, the entire fortress was moving at full speed towards the depths of the bottomless pit. Locke had lost his foothold, so he could only use the Big Green Leaf Dragon Bird to fly in the air to prevent himself from falling into the bottomless pit.

Locke also pretended to be regretful. “Indeed, my magic power has reached its limit. I really can’t catch up.”

Morrison, the second-ring wizard, glanced at Locke and smiled with satisfaction. At the same time, he felt relieved. If Locke was a stubborn person, then he… really had no way to deal with him.

After all, Locke’s interests didn’t conflict with his, he was still a contestant, so even if he was determined to catch up with the Mekanian fortress, he would find it difficult.

But fortunately, this young first-ring wizard is a very smart wizard.

Wizard Morrison was somewhat grateful to Locke. He stretched out his hand and a stream of magic power suddenly fell at Locke’s feet. In just a moment, a flower bridge grew out of thin air under Locke’s feet.
