Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 521

Chapter 518 Summoning the Demon!

The two of them then left the White Dragon Tower and reappeared in a mine 30km underground of the White Dragon Tower.

In the past period of time, Locke often came to a place 30km underground because there was a shadow pool there. He needed to soak in the water of the shadow pool to solve the problem of the split consciousness of the twin bloodline.

So, he could recognize the location at a glance.

At that time, the soul ferryman also automatically dissipated due to the impact of gravity.

Locke breathed a sigh of relief. Although archaeology spells were very useful, some secrets themselves contained great dangers.

I still have to use it with caution in the future.

Locke glanced at the abandoned mines around him and the shadow pool ten meters away, frowning slightly.

They were in the White Dragon Street area, using the Soul Ferry to break into the Elemental Fission Pool, and they hardly moved inside the Elemental Fission Pool, but after being beaten out, the area they came out of was the location of the Shadow Pool of the White Dragon Tower.

This shows that the internal space of the White Dragon Tower is likely to be chaotic, and the time and space in it may not be uniform.

The fission gravity over there is indeed too strong.

Homogeneous and uniform space-time is a very important point.

Because it means the magic is repeatable.

If the space of a space-time is not equal everywhere, it means that the same phenomenon that occurs in one region and at one time cannot occur again in a similar region and time.

Many magic spells will no longer work.

In the endless void, most planes, worlds and spaces are generally of equal quality and uniformity, because this is also a prerequisite for a plane/world to give birth to advanced life forms and complex forces.

If time and space are distorted everywhere, then it will be difficult for this world to evolve in an orderly manner.

Locke suspected that the space and time in the elemental fission pool of the White Dragon Tower was completely distorted and chaotic. This could explain why the ferry’s spiritual world virtualization ability, which was supposed to ignore gravity, could not work there.

Because the laws of magic no longer apply there.

The so-called laws only exist in a uniform space-time medium. Otherwise, every space-time will have its own characteristics.

If the space-time medium is not uniform, the laws will lose their universality.

In that state, it would be very difficult to use magic, which is a big test for a first-ring wizard.

There are undoubtedly many secrets inside the White Dragon Tower, and there are also many very high-level secrets that can only be seen by high-level wizards.

But everything has its priorities, and his greatest interest right now is to become a second-ring wizard, so he can only put aside these secrets that he has just discovered.

Leonis and Locke talked for a while, and they decided to part ways here.

This is already the very bottom of the White Dragon Tower. Normally, no one would even come here, except for the occasional mortal guards who patrol regularly and the wizard apprentices who are responsible for maintenance.

As long as Locke activates the authority, opens the door at the bottom and lets him leave, Leonis can take the ferry and travel freely through the mineral vein 20 kilometers underground.

Leonis said to Locke, “There are three major skill trees in the first ring of archaeology. The first is Historical Pointer, the second is Historical Reconstruction, and the third is Summoning Grave Spirits.”

“In particular, the summoning of tomb spirits is the most complex system. Fighting enemies, summoning tanks, and obtaining information all have corresponding summoning spell models within this system. But the pinnacle of this system is summoning the demon god.”

Locke frowned slightly.

Leonis said, “Unfortunately, summoning a demon requires a clan leader at the first crystallization stage. It also requires us to have a very in-depth study of archaeology, and we ourselves must be wizards at the first crystallization stage. Warwick can use the summoning demon, but you and I can’t.”

“Only the Summoning Demon God spell model can fully unleash the power of the historical materials collected within our Sovereign’s Book at the first stage, lending us powerful magical power from the past.”

“Summoning the Demon God. This spell model is the ritual magic in our archaeology.”

Locke nodded slightly. After hearing what Leonis said, he was indeed moved.

After all, the summons of the Lord of the Dead and the Lord of the Tombs that he had used before also had their own uses.

The summoning tomb spirit system in the first stage brought me many surprises.

If one could use a ring to summon the pinnacle of the tomb spirit system and summon the demon god, it would obviously greatly increase one’s combat power.

I have read a lot of information in the White Dragon Library recently and found that ritual magic is very useful even for second-ring wizards.

Although ritual magic only requires one level to perform, due to the special nature of ritual magic and its connection with powerful planes, first-level ritual magic is still useful in the second-level stage.

Moreover, there is a corresponding second-level ritual magic.

However, ritual magic is indeed very dangerous. If it is not done properly, it will end up like the wizard Nidhogg playing with fire and getting burned, sending his soul to the Blood River Plane.

Locke said to Leonis, “You can also spread the word to archaeologists for me. If anyone is willing to exchange historical materials with me, I can also help him prepare the potion.”

At the underground entrance of the White Dragon Tower, Leonis summoned a Styx Ferryman. He looked at Locke in surprise and gave the Styx Ferryman a gold coin from the Underworld. Then he said to Locke, “That’s great.”

“Many of our archaeologists also want to obtain potions that ordinary potion masters cannot make. Some potions are even in a gray area. So, if we can’t trade with magic stones, do we need to trade with historical materials?”

Old man Leonis smiled and said, “Just as Warwick told me, Wizard Augustine is particularly fascinated by collecting historical materials. Okay, I will promote it this way if any archaeologists really come by then.”

Old man Leonis threw a bag of gold coins to Locke.

Locke opened it and saw five gold coins from the underworld inside.

Locke looked at Leonis in confusion, “What is this?”

Leonis smiled and said, “For us archaeologists, underworld gold coins are not rare, but they are troublesome to collect, so this can be considered a gift to you.”

Locke thought for a moment, took out five bottles of improved version of Holy Spring Nectar from his star ring and handed them to him.

In the past year, he placed ten bottles of Holy Spring Nectar potion in the Star Ring to deal with emergencies, such as when fighting, preparing potions, or cultivating magic plants, when he needed to replenish his mana.

It is impolite to come without giving anything in return.

Besides, handing over the excellent improved potion he prepared to the archaeologists and taking it back to their dark wizard land can better demonstrate his strength in potion science.

Leonis opened one of the bottles and took a quick sniff. “Amazing! Just breathing in the scent has restored some of my mana.”

Locke said, “Well, this is my improved version of the Holy Spring Nectar Potion. It’s about three times more effective than the original version.”

“It’s a pretty good first-level recovery potion. Just use it as it comes. Consider it my gift to you.”

Leonis glanced at Locke. “Professor Augustine, you are indeed a formidable potion master. A formidable professor of archaeology and a formidable potion master at the same time is a very rare combination.”

“If you come to our dark wizard land, you’ll thrive there. Why stay in this shabby place with so many rules?” Leonis glanced at Locke in confusion. “There are so many rules here that I’m not used to them at all.”

“I can’t even kill the slaves. What a hassle.” Leonis said, “It’s normal for me to kill a few apprentices in one experiment.”

Obviously, the old man Leonis was not as easy to talk to as he appeared. His easy talk was based on Locke’s status and strength being equal to his own. Moreover, he was currently in the White Wizard Land, and was therefore somewhat passively affected by the rules of this White Wizard Land.

But once he returns to his own little piece of land, he may not be the honest old man he is now.

What determines a person’s character is the most despicable thing he does.

Locke glanced at Leonis.

Seeing that Locke didn’t say anything, Leonis ordered the ferryman to row the boat. The ferryman took up the oars and disappeared without a trace in a flash.

Locke took a look, turned around and returned to the White Dragon Tower, and went to the floating staircase in the center of the White Dragon Tower, and quickly returned to the ground through the floating staircase.

…

An hour later, Locke returned to his residence at an altitude of 10 km above the White Dragon Tower. When Locke returned to the house, he indeed received two contracts sent from Yunze Wetland.

One is from Bonifacius University and the other is from Mount Coronet.

Locke compared the two contracts and found that the benefits Bonifacius University gave him in the contract were basically only half of those in the Golden Crown Mountain contract, and many key rights, such as project funding autonomy, project personnel autonomy, and the right to adjust small project directions, were not given to him.

Instead, I have to listen to my co-supervisor in everything.

In other words, if he chose to sign a contract with Bonifacius University to study at the Advanced Academy of Knowledge, he would basically be entering the Advanced Academy of Knowledge as a large wizard apprentice to study.

The welfare benefits and rights given to me at Golden Crown Mountain are very relaxed. I am basically treated as a mature and formal wizard.

Locke chose the contract for Golden Crown Mountain, signed it, and quickly wrote his name.

After signing his name, Locke was ready to send the contract back, but who would have thought that the moment he signed his name, the contract suddenly split into two pages automatically. One page remained in place, and the other page activated a magic similar to the exile-type protective school and teleported away directly on the spot.

“This is…”

Locke said, “By the way, all the contracts sent to me by the Advanced Zhenzhi Academy were actually all made by second-ring level contractors.”

On the other side, as he signed the contract with Golden Crown Mountain, the contract with Bonifacius University suddenly burned automatically, turned into a puff of black smoke, and disappeared without a trace.

Locke discovered that he could not remember any of the terms of the contract given to him by Bonifacius University. He could only remember some of the conclusions.

For example, the various terms of the contract offered by Bonifacius University are not as good as those of Mount Golden Crown.

But I can’t recall any specific terms.

“Some kind of memory seal?” Locke raised his eyebrows. Moreover, the effectiveness of the two contracts was protected by a second-level curse and certified by the Eye of Truth, so he didn’t have to worry about any problems with the contracts.

The contracts made by the second-ring-level contractors are indeed very convenient.

The contract he signed with Jinmian Mountain also contained some confidentiality clauses, such as keeping his salary and benefits secret from other researchers in the Institute of Advanced Knowledge. If he violated these clauses, the relevant people would know about it and realize that he had leaked the information.

There is no severe punishment in the contract. After all, it is not a curse, but just a business contract.

But he will probably be punished by the Shinchi Institute.

Locke sensed someone was looking for him. He summoned the Gray Mist Slate and saw that it was the witch Ekaterina who had sent him a message. “When are you free to come to Yunze Wetlands?”

Locke quickly replied, “Instructor, the contract states that I only need to report before September this fall.”

The Advanced Zhenzhi Academy can only allow people to stay for a maximum of five years.

After five years, regardless of whether you have met the exit requirements or not, you will be forced to withdraw.

The job positions within the Academy of Advanced Knowledge are also strictly controlled by the White Wizard Association Headquarters. The entire Academy of Advanced Knowledge system is the welfare system provided by the White Wizard Association Headquarters to the young first-level wizards under it.

Therefore, this requires even stricter supervision than teaching positions, unless the local White Wizard Association or Wizard Academy does not require funding from the White Wizard Association headquarters, but instead pays for training on its own.

The witch Ekaterina’s message arrived quickly. “September? What are you thinking? It’s only February. I can’t wait that long. Pack up and come over now. I’ve already arranged a dormitory for you.”

“I’m short on manpower. I just rejected a young one-ring crystal wizard from Jinmanshan’s main school who applied to join my project team for you.”

‘He is also very good and meets all my requirements. But for some special reasons, I still chose you.’

The number of people who can join the Advanced Zhenzhi Academy each year is limited. Generally speaking, there are only two, and at most one more person can be added in the same year, for a total of three.

In other words, he had just joined the Academy of Advanced Knowledge, but because of the quota issue, a young first-ring wizard who wanted to join the Academy and originally met the requirements was no longer able to join the Academy.

He squeezed others out.

Locke couldn’t help but sigh at the scarcity of these places and the cruelty of the competition.

Locke thought about it and found that there was really not much point in him staying in the Six Towers, so he replied to Ekaterina that he would buy a boat ticket as soon as possible.

The witch Ekaterina sent him a message. “When you arrive, immediately apply for the Zhenzhi Institute project and complete this small project.”

“There’s no need to leave this small project unfinished. It will save you from being distracted by such trivial matters when you encounter a tough problem. If you come to the hospital six months early, you can tackle this small project and familiarize yourself with the environment of our Zhenzhi Hospital in advance, so you can start working sooner.”

Witch Ekaterina said, “You are just wasting your talent and time staying in the wizarding land outside. Golden Crown Mountain is more suitable for your mana growth and can help you reach the first ring crystallization stage sooner.”

“Also… have you submitted to Yunze and Southeast recently? I have special channels that allow me to see the submission records of the research institutes I work with.”

Locke noticed the severity and sharpness of the witch Ekaterina, but with such a three-ring wizard to guide his study and research, he felt that he had found a great backer.

Not everyone is worth a three-ring wizard wasting his energy on.

Locke replied: “Yes, I submitted it more than half a month ago, but Yunze immediately rejected my article. I could only submit another article “Qingcao Yunze” half a month ago.”
