Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 497

Chapter 495 Alternative Second Ring Road Route

Chapter 495: Alternative Second Ring Route
Locke spent 10,000 magic stones and went to Joseph’s Golem Shop to conduct a more comprehensive test of the natural force field.

As a result, he had no money left.

Fortunately, he still has two major businesses – the first is the Augustus store he opened with Madam Irina in the southeast corner, and the second is the potion shop he opened with Alicia and the Plutarch family.

Therefore, he only needed to wait a few months and he would have money again.

After Locke walked out of Joseph’s Golem Shop, he returned to his office and began writing a test report. “The test results are in. The performance of the natural force field is very good. It is definitely more than just a simple superposition of three force fields.”

“The defensive capabilities of the natural force field are approximately ten times greater than those of an ordinary life force field. Furthermore, it has the special ability to dissolve enemy attack magic, absorb power from enemy attack magic, and feed it back to the user.”

“Simply put, it’s a wizard who uses a natural force field as a permanent defensive force field. While fighting, they can absorb the opponent’s attack magic to restore their own mana.” Locke wrote on the document with a magic quill. He extended his left hand, and a rainbow-green natural force field enveloped Locke’s palm. “Also, the compressibility of the natural force field is far greater than that of ordinary force fields.”

“I can even highly compress the natural force field into a weapon.”

At this time, the natural force field in Locke’s hand, under highly compressed conditions, gradually restrained the body and turned into a large sickle.

This large sickle is rainbow green, and every detail is the result of a highly compressed permanent defense field.

Locke just moved the sickle slightly towards his right hand covered with the oak magic armor, and the oak magic armor on the surface of his right hand completely shattered in an instant and turned into a pile of wood chips.

Locke’s expression changed slightly, and he continued writing: “Mist’s power is more complicated than I thought.”

“The power of Mist is definitely not just a tool for the first dean to protect himself, but also a terrifying weapon. The highly compressed natural force field itself contains powerful destructive power. Unleashing this highly compressed natural force field in an instant can transform it into an attack that can pierce any defense.”

“The high compressibility and manipulability of the natural force field is likely related to the power of the four seasons.”

A hint of doubt flashed across Locke’s eyes. “The Power of Mist displays a unique power not possessed by first-level magic. This kind of energy cycle is something I’ve seen in several other powerful magics.”

“But Mist’s power isn’t a second-ring magic, and it doesn’t have the characteristics of a second-ring. After all, the power of the four seasons cycle isn’t like an energy source, but more like a natural law.”

Locke said, “Perhaps the mysteries of magic are truly profound, and my knowledge is relatively limited. So I boldly speculate that the power of Mist is a different kind of magic than the ultimate magic, an upgraded version of the permanent defensive force field.”

“Considering Ms. Mist’s age and status in ancient times, perhaps…” Locke hesitated for a moment, then wrote at the end of the article, “Perhaps, during the time Ms. Mist lived, the wizarding world at that time did not have a mature method for advancing to the second-ring wizard level, and there was no systematic classification and organization.”

“So, Ms. Mist, the route you’re taking is actually an alternative method to break through to the second-ring wizard.”

“Therefore, the characteristics of her permanent defensive force field are seriously different from the current mainstream system.”

Locke pondered, “Actually, the quality of my article is very high. It’s only with this last paragraph of speculation that it becomes problematic.”

“But if I don’t add it, I feel uncomfortable. After all, I have already guessed this far.”

“Forget it. The first part alone should be enough to be published in Southeast. If it’s rejected because of this ending, I can revise it and submit it again.”

The logic of publishing an article in a journal is different from that of publishing an article in a library, and journal publication requires manuscript review.

Even if there are two S-level articles, only the one with higher quality favored by the reviewers can be published in the journal.

Therefore, publishing an article in a journal is more difficult than publishing an article in a library. There is no limit on the number of articles that can be entered into the library, so there is no competition, as long as the quality meets the standards.

But publishing an article in a journal, especially a top journal, requires competing with many other excellent articles.

Therefore, only by publishing articles in the top journals of major wizarding lands can one add a clear advantage to one’s resume.

And Locke did guess that Mrs. Mist’s natural force field was simply a way to try to break through to become a second-ring wizard.

At least it’s an attempt.

Since his natural force field was condensed, the growth rate of his mental power has accelerated again, and the natural force field and the compression method given to him by Witch Sophia work in harmony with each other.

This caused his magic pressure, which was originally over 7,000, to suddenly increase to 7,200 within a few days.

Moreover, the speed is accelerating.

It is estimated that within a few months, his magic pressure will reach 9000!

Then, he can begin to try to advance to the first ring crystallization stage and complete the last stage of spiritual power materialization.

All of this is based on the natural force field, which is extremely easy to compress.

Locke thought about it and decided to write two articles based on the power of Mist.

Of these two articles, one can be published in the top journal “Southeast” in the Southeast Corner out of courtesy, using his identity as a native of Lilith Hut in the Southeast Corner. The other article can be submitted to “Yunze” of Yunze Wetland.

Locke is preparing to write an article about the origin and composition of the power of Mist, and this article will be published in “Southeast”.

One article is about using the power of Mist in combination with the compression method to accelerate the improvement of one’s own magic pressure compression, and further accelerate the rapid improvement of one’s own magic power.

This article was published in “Yun Ze”.

If both articles can be successfully published in top journals in various places, it will be a huge improvement to my resume.

Locke said, “Even if I write down my method of accelerating the improvement of my mana, there will be no problem at all.”

“If you want to replicate my method, you must first learn the magic of the Forest Sanctuary as your own permanent defense force field. Then, obtain my Hydra. Using both the Forest Sanctuary and the Hydra, you can simultaneously use the permanent defense force field. You must also obtain information on all three force fields and read my article on the Power of Mist.”

“Then, you can use this method.”

“Also, the reason why I’m making such rapid progress is because the Natural Force plane is constantly pouring Natural Force into me. As long as I raise my upper limit, I can gain that much Magic Pressure.”

“Otherwise, your progress will only be fast, but not as abnormal as mine. If you want to progress as fast as me, you need to study archaeology first and find the bloodline of an ancient creature that can become a guardian of nature…”

Locke said: “In essence, this method is highly bound to me, and it is difficult for others to learn.”

“If you only use the Hydra without using the Forest Sanctuary, even if you can obtain the Power of Mist, you won’t be able to use it to improve yourself. I’ve tested it before, and the Power of Mist can only be formed when a wizard uses the Withering Field, the Life Field, and the Harvest Field at the same time.

Otherwise, if three wizards were to superimpose their three powers, the subtle conflicts between their spiritual energies would prevent the three force fields from forming the Mist Force, and instead they would simply cancel each other out.”

Locke pondered, “However, speaking of which, as long as this article on the power of Mist is successfully published in Southeast, many wizards in Lilith’s Hut should be motivated to purchase the Hydra Demon Plant from me for research or combat use.”

“If I want to quickly mass-produce the Hydra Demon Plant, the Six Towers are far from having the necessary resources. If I want to succeed, I need to go to a wizard’s land with better conditions.”

Locke thought clearly and wrote quickly on the document with a magic quill.

At the same time, there was a knock on Locke’s office door.

Locke said, “Please come in.”

Then, Locke saw the wizard Montgomery and the witch Barbara, who were dressed in travel clothes. “Who are you?”

Witch Montgomery and Barbara bowed to Locke to express their gratitude.

Montgomery said to Locke, “We’re here to say goodbye. Boss Locke, thanks to you leading us to win the Yunze Cup, a lot of wizarding organizations have been coming to invite Witch Barbara and me to teach there these days.”

Barbara, the witch, smiled. “I never imagined that so many wizarding academies would send me invitations at the same time.”

Montgomery said, “Witch Barbara and I both agreed to attend a wizard academy in Rainswamp called Creeper Gardens. It’s a rare wizard academy that simultaneously develops both bloodline studies and breeding, and even has the idea of combining the two. They offered us both very good conditions.”

“We’re different from you, Boss. That’s why we think we should seize this opportunity and take advantage of the invitation to join the top wizarding academy in Rainswamp. If we miss out on this opportunity, there might not be a place like this anymore, and there might not be another chance.”
