Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 517

Chapter 514 Negotiation Results with the Shinchi Institute

After thinking it over, Leonis said, “Half… isn’t impossible.”

A flash of pain flashed across Leonis’s eyes. “But you need to help me prepare the Crucible Potion, also known as the Cinder King’s Secret Brew. I need at least two batches. Professor Augustine, are you confident you can do it?”

“I need two bottles of the Cinder King’s Secret Brew.”

Locke thought about it and realized that if it were a year ago, he would have had to refuse this business, or carefully consider whether to take it.

But after a year of training in the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion, he is no longer the same as before. With his current level of alchemy, and the two treasures of Primordial Fire and Purifying Filter Stone, it would only take a little effort to make the Fire King’s Secret Brew, also known as the Furnace Potion.

Locke said, “Okay, but not today. I need to recover. The day after tomorrow.”

My condition has not fully recovered recently. After the last battle with Nidhogg in the wizard secret realm, my mental state has been sluggish. And to prepare the furnace potion, I need to concentrate highly.

After thinking for a moment, Locke decided to delay to prevent his condition from getting worse before he recovered.

After all, regarding this part, as the witch Catherine said, he can only recover through natural sleep.

Ultimately, it was because the last time he fought against the wizard who was at the first crystallization stage and used ritual magic, the battle was too intense.

I should try to avoid battles of that scale in the future. After all, every battle is a huge drain on my energy.

When Wizard Leonis heard Locke ask him to wait for a day, he became a little nervous, but after thinking about it, he said, “Okay, then we’ll meet at the Quetzalcoatl Pavilion tomorrow.”

“Before I came here, I had the dimensional exile spell of the School of Protection tattooed on my body…”

Locke nodded slightly, disagreeing. For some reason, every dark wizard always felt that he might harm them.

But it’s not necessary.

It was just like the losses he had suffered in the previous battle. As long as there is a battle, there will be consumption.

It’s not like winning will do anything. Even if I won before, I would be listless for more than a week and spend almost every day sleeping.

Even so, the condition has not returned to its best.

Therefore, it is really inefficient to use robbery to get what you want. Since there is a way to trade peacefully, there is no need to do it.

It would be more appropriate to wait until there is no way to make a deal before considering whether to take action.

Locke said, “Do you want me to arrange accommodation for you?”

Leonis thought for a moment and said, “Well, it’s hard to find a place to stay in this White Dragon Tower. If you could arrange some for me, that would be great.”

“Professor Augustine is now very famous in our circle of archaeologists.”

Locke looked puzzled. “Warwick wouldn’t go around saying that, would he?”

“etc……”

What am I thinking about saying?

How much can one expect from an archaeological wizard who makes a living by selling information? He hopes that others will keep their mouths shut.

Leonis said, “Warwick often tells other archaeology wizards, ‘Professor Augustine, you have the Primordial Fire, and your potion knowledge is very advanced.'”

“So, in the past year, many archaeology wizards have heard of your name.”

Locke smiled bitterly.

Forget it, I’m not a dark wizard anyway. This way, some archaeological wizards will come to me in the future and ask me to help them make potions, and I can also take this opportunity to collect archaeological resources.

This is something that is very beneficial to me.

That’s it for now.

As for the fact that a big tree attracts the wind?

To be honest, for someone like me who wants to explore the path to truth, this is a false proposition that does not exist.

Every step towards a better wizarding land and obtaining a better teaching position will eliminate countless wizarding opponents.

Take the example of wanting to enter the Academy of Advanced Knowledge. The number of admissions to the Academy of Advanced Knowledge is fixed every year, which is subject to macro-control by the White Wizard Headquarters Association.

If you enter this year, no one else can enter.

In the process, you have already offended people.

If you don’t want to offend anyone, you can only be mediocre and go with the flow.

If you want to move up, you need to make your name known to others. If you keep a low profile, you will only miss opportunities.

Of course, attracting too much attention is not a good thing.

Locke nodded, stood up, and wrote down an address for Leonis. “Mr. Leonis, this is a vacant residence. You can live there first. There are some servants there. You can use them as you please. However, in our White Wizard Association, even servants cannot be killed at will.”

“Once we are targeted by the ethics review committee, it will be a huge problem.”

He had recently been targeted by the Ethics Review Committee because of the death of wizard Nidhogg. Fortunately, he had the Crystal of True Sight, which recorded the entire process. In addition, with the influence of the Plutarch family in the White Wizards Association branch in the Six Towers, he would not be punished.

On the contrary, it was the Basil family that felt guilty, so they made a series of concessions to the Plutarch family and even transferred several industries to the Plutarch family.

Wizard Leonis smiled and said, “Okay, I won’t cause you any trouble. I’m a guest here, so of course I can’t cause you any trouble.”

The two exchanged a few words and agreed upon certain conditions. Then Leonis noticed that Locke seemed to have something to do, so he took the initiative to leave the quiet room on the second floor.

Locke was the only one left in the quiet room.

Locke summoned the gray mist slate, only to see it vibrate continuously. It was Director Morrison who took the initiative to contact him.

Locke chose to accept Director Morrison’s request for a video conversation. The next moment, Director Morrison’s image appeared, and he seemed to be in an ecological garden.

The ecological garden was filled with magical potato plants floating in the air. These magical potato plants were cultivated not by soil cultivation nor hydroponics, but by mist cultivation.

The potatoes are suspended in the air. Without contact with the soil or water, some white clouds floating in the air can actively spray out some rainwater mixed with nutrient solution to nourish the potatoes.

This is an extremely sophisticated cultivation method, which Locke had only seen in books before. It can help avoid plant diseases as much as possible.

Because you don’t need to come into contact with too many things.

Especially potatoes, which are easily infected by magical fungal diseases.

However, if it is ordinary potatoes, it is easy to cultivate using this method, but potato magic plants with more than one ring require a large amount of nutrients, so the requirements for breeding equipment are very high. Therefore, there is no laboratory in the Six Towers that can do this.

As soon as Director Morrison appeared, Locke heard him instructing several first-ring wizard assistants on the techniques of cultivating potato magic plants without contact.

After finishing his instructions, Director Morrison turned to Locke and said, “Little Locke, I’ve been a bit busy lately, as you can see.”

“However, I still took some time out of my busy schedule to help you negotiate with the two high-level Zhenzhi Academy as part of the Yunze Cup Tournament Committee.”

Director Morrison said, “By the way, have you met with Ekaterina the Witch?”

“She suddenly made a lot of concessions during our negotiations this time. It’s really strange. She recently wanted to join the ten-person plan at Yunze Wetland.”

“The demand for resources, talent, and projects should be extremely high, but I didn’t expect her to be so easy to talk to this time.”

Director Morrison said, “Compared to this, I regret that I had so strongly recommended Bonifacius University for you.”

“And disappointment.”

“They won’t even give up project autonomy.” Director Morrison’s eyes flashed with anger. “The latest new dean of Bonifacius’s Academy of Advanced Truth is Valentinian, a three-ringed wizard from the alchemical school specializing in textiles.”

“He has neither knowledge nor respect for breeding and botany.” Director Morrison sighed, clearly deeply hurt. “If it were the same Dean of the Institute of True Knowledge who had a breeding background last year, I’d still be confident I could negotiate a very good contract for you.”

“It’s a pity that this year’s Dean of the School of True Knowledge at Bonifacius College is a newcomer, and he comes from the alchemy school. He knows nothing about us botany.”
