Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 507

Chapter 504: The flaws of the first ring prophecy magic plant

On the other side of the Poisonous Valley, Nidhogg, who had transformed into an eight-legged spider, was walking faster and faster. He saw the unusual movement on the ground and his face changed slightly, because the scale of the obvious changes on the ground shocked Nidhogg.

“How could there be such a big commotion?”

“What kind of bloodline is in that wizard’s body? Even if it’s the most outstanding Demon Spider bloodline of my Basil family, or the Scorpion Woman bloodline of their Plutarch family, it’s impossible to cause such a big commotion…”

“And that’s three times.”

Nidhogg pressed his palm to the ground, feeling three violent vibrations. “This means the opponent has endured three consecutive poison cleansings. His willpower is astonishing. Many wizards in our Six Towers cannot even withstand the first poison cleansing. Whether it is the potential to trigger three poison cleansings or the willpower to endure three times, it is amazing.”

Nidhogg’s face was gloomy. “No. This wizard’s potential is simply too great. With him around, it’s impossible for our Basil family to seize power prematurely.”

Every hundred years, many famous families in the land of the Six Towers will vote to re-elect a consul family to rule the land of the Six Towers.

Because the great wizard Sulla was too powerful, the Plutarch family forcibly took over the land for three centuries. Although there are still forty years to go before the next century, the Basil family has not had the chance to rule the land of the Six Towers for more than two hundred years.

The status of their archon family was severely affected, so a group of bloodline wizards in the Six Towers, led by Nidhogg, all wanted to seize power in advance.

Originally, all of this could be suppressed by the personal prestige of the great wizard Sura, but now that the great wizard Sura is half dead, it has given these ambitious people an excuse and a reason.

But Locke won the Yunze Cup and stabilized the situation in the Six Towers again, which greatly increased Alicia’s personal prestige. So Nidhogg naturally felt that Locke was blocking the way of their Basil family.

Therefore, without the knowledge of the Basil family, he took his confidants into the wizard secret realm and wanted to destroy Locke.

At this moment, Nidhogg’s eyes were icy. “But even if you inflict the poison three times, it will be useless. Because right now, I can destroy you.”

“The water in the land of six towers is not so easy to stir.”

A sun and moon ritual pattern appeared behind Nidhogg. Inside the sun and moon ritual pattern, there were two bottles of rare magical creatures’ blood, namely the blood of Akromal’s horse and Dracula’s deer. At this time, the two tubes of blood evaporated as sacrifices for the ritual magic.

A river of blood appeared behind Nidhogg. It seemed to come from the void, flowing back into his back and strengthening his body bones. This river of blood came from the Blood River Plane.

With the blessing of the power of the Blood River Plane, Nidhogg’s body became a little bigger, like a moving mountain, and every step he took could cause a small earthquake.

He used his eight spider legs to climb over the mountains and came to the top of a mountain. He waved his spider legs and headed directly for the poisonous lake on the top of the mountain.

A spider leg swung out like a blade, trying to kill Locke in the lake, but it directly nailed a poisonous toad in the liquefied stage to the bottom of the lake. Then he pulled the poisonous toad out from the bottom of the lake, took out the poisonous bead in the toad’s body, and put it into his mouth.

After all, the poisonous lake contains thousands of highly toxic toxins, and even the bloodline of the Basil family cannot withstand it.

Nidhogg’s face changed drastically when he looked at the huge toad corpse on the flat ground at the top of the mountain. The poison flowing from the corpse could even turn the stones into a black sticky substance.

“Why is it a guardian?”

“Where is Locke Augustine, who is supposed to be in the poisonous lake? Could it be…”

Nidhogg looked at the two sacs on the poisonous toad’s mouth. In addition to its special poison, the two sacs on its mouth can also emit huge sound waves and create small earthquakes.

In other words, the earthquake he just felt was all caused by the poisonous toad!

Nidhogg looked at the shores surrounding the Poison Lake and spotted green fireflies that could provoke poisonous toads.

But this kind of firefly shouldn’t appear here.

“Oh no, it’s those Spider-Women!”

“Why would they help an outsider wizard? He’s clearly a descendant of my ancestors, the gravekeepers!”

Nidhogg’s expression changed, as if he had remembered something. “But that’s not right. The feeling of an earthquake can be simulated using the Guardian’s special ability.”

“But how can they fool my spider sense?”

“These frogs trapped in this valley are simply incapable of mastering the magic of the School of Prophecy.”

The expression on Nidhogg’s face was uncertain.

Then there is only one last possibility, that is, the wizard Locke Augustine has some magic that interferes with his spider intuition.

Considering the background of the Eye Demon Wizard, it is more likely that it is some kind of demonic plant that interferes with the prophetic ability and possesses the ability to counter prophecy.

But this kind of magic plant is extremely rare, because even for a first-ring magic plant, it has to pay a huge price to possess the first-ring level of prophetic ability.

“It could be a reproductive defect, losing the ability to bloom, or a degenerated root system, unable to survive naturally. Or perhaps it’s lost its chloroplasts, requiring nourishment from other plants.” Nidhogg began to ponder which demonic plant had interfered, his spider intuition. “To gain prophetic powers, our bloodline wizards of the spider demon bloodline have even paid the price of becoming afraid of light.”

“To gain this extraordinary intuition, one must pay an equivalent price—a weakening of vision.”

“Every increase in prophetic ability is a geometric increase in the burden on oneself.”

Nidhogg asked, “Is it the Shadow Palm? Although that magical plant can’t be purchased on the Sun Shadow Peninsula, there’s still a chance to obtain it. No, the Eye Demon Wizard doesn’t have any background in the Sun Shadow Peninsula.”

“In the southeast corner… I heard that Verdandia University has a magical plant called the “Delusion Thistle” that possesses magical abilities similar to those of the School of Prophecy.”

“But the effect of Delusion Thistle should only be that after being stung by it, this special thistle-like demonic plant should only cause a fatal crisis within 24 hours.”

“In order to gain this ability, the Delusion Thistle is very fragile and easily broken, making it difficult to use it to injure wizards of the same level. However, once they are injured, it is absolutely possible to use botanical magic in conjunction with it to guide the opponent into the most disadvantageous situation for them within 24 hours.”

Nidhogg placed his thumb on the corner of his mouth, lost in thought. He wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb. “Actually, there’s no need to overthink it. I remember that the prophetic abilities of first-level magical plants all have a common shortcoming—they can only predict the linear future.”
