Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 524

Chapter 521 Arrival at Jinmian Mountain and Meeting Colleagues

Chapter 521 Arriving at Jinmian Mountain and Meeting Colleagues
Jinmian Mountain is a natural concentration of magic. It is basically four volcanoes. The four volcanoes are emitting thick smoke all the time, and magma is rolling inside. Some volcanoes are dormant, while others are still active.

Special underground magic tides can erupt from the volcano, increasing the concentration gradient of the magic tides around the four volcanoes by several levels.

The main peak of Jinmian Mountain connects the sky to the earth, and its summit seems to be right under the sun, always shrouded in golden light.

This mountain is worthy of being the largest volcano among the nine mountains in Yunze Wetland!
For some reason, Jinmian Mountain is not very high, and the height of the sun and the ground in all surrounding areas is normal.

But only at the top of the Golden Crown Mountain, the sun seems to be above the mountain, forming a beautiful scene.

The sun seemed to have turned into a halo behind the Golden Crown Mountain. The entire Golden Crown Mountain exuded sacred and majestic light and heat, radiating to the earth.

In other words, the geothermal eruption of Mount Golden Crown itself is not an ordinary volcano, but a volcano that can erupt underground geothermal magic tides and can also connect to the fire of the sun.

The fire from heaven and the fire from earth are connected by a mountain, transforming into pure magical power that nourishes all things around the mountain.

Therefore, there are vast forest areas around the Golden Crown Mountain, and those forests are composed of patches of magical plants.

Locke had never seen such a dense forest of high-level magic plants. There were one-ring magic plants everywhere, and even two-ring magic plants. In the deeper part of the forest, there were some terrifying auras, which seemed to be more advanced magic plants.

“No wonder Jinmian Mountain College is the top college in Yunze Wetland.” Locke finally understood that the existence of Jinmian Mountain itself is a great magical creation. Locke didn’t understand why the spatial structure of Jinmian Mountain is like this.

When Locke used the [Spiritual Vision] that all wizards have, he could see that the Golden Crown Mountain itself was a huge pillar of fire that connected the sky and the earth.

The surface of Jinmian Mountain itself is a top-level magical plant ecological forest, with twenty-two gardens inside, corresponding to the twenty-two colleges in the headquarters.

There are also towering ancient castles inside the garden.

Outside the twenty-two gardens are a large number of plantations, blood processing factories, architect construction sites, magic painting galleries, wizard commercial streets, wizard markets, gyro kinetic power stations, etc.

There is also a wild magic plant forest.

What caught Locke’s attention was the extensive gardens of peach-like magical plants on Jinmian Mountain. “Jinmian Mountain’s peach plant cultivation is renowned throughout the Three Lakes region and even the Eastern Boundary.”

On the wizard airship, Locke also saw many planting techniques that he had never seen in the southeast corner and the six towers – soilless river magic fields, magic fields in the magma pool, and magic fields opened up on rocks.

There are even magic fields on the clouds, and even on the top of a giant banyan tree in a forest that covers an area of 10 acres, there can be magic fields. The most common magic fields are on the mud.

Around Golden Crown Mountain, everything in nature seemed to be a magical field!
This exquisite planting technique opened Locke’s eyes. This was knowledge that could not be accessed in other wizarding lands without coming to Golden Crown Mountain.

A wizard beside Locke’s eyes flickered when he saw this scene. “As expected of Golden Crown Mountain, this is incredibly advanced.”

“Look, those flying pumpkin heads floating above the magic fields are actually light energy distribution systems. They absorb surrounding light and precisely distribute it to different magic fields. Wizards can freely control those little glowing sun pumpkins, placing them on their own magic fields or swiping them away with a finger.”

“The surrounding clouds can be controlled manually or automatically. Those black rain clouds water the magic fields.”

“Look, the tornadoes at the foot and middle of the mountain are frozen, but as long as the wizard of Golden Crown Mountain draws a line with his finger, those tornadoes will move.”

“Except for tornado, hurricane, breeze, gale, and light wind, these are all solid weather conditions that wizards can use at will.”

“Whether it’s windy or rainy, the wizards here can manipulate it instantly with just a flick of their hands. It’s as easy as drawing on a blank piece of paper.”

“This is the work of the second-ring weather engineers at Yunze Wetland. It’s an all-weather weather control system!”

The wizard spoke excitedly, as if on a pilgrimage. “This is the paradise for agricultural and animal husbandry breeders, Golden Crown Mountain.”

“See those spinning tops as big as houses?”

The airship that Locke was riding on was not a direct airship. There were some stops and stations in the middle.

Because the artificial network of cross-time and space structures is spread throughout the land of Yunze, transportation is convenient here, so this airship stops at many wizarding places along the way.

Locke remembered that the wizard sitting next to him seemed to be from the wizard land of [Fission Tomb].

I just don’t know what he is here for.

At this moment, the wizard looked at the Gyro Power Station on Mount Jinmaon, his eyes gleaming. “I’ve heard that the Yunze Wetland School of Power is very powerful, but I didn’t expect it to be true.”

“You see, every time that large gyroscope rotates, all of the vibration energy is recovered and converted into magical energy. It is then distributed to the light energy system, the irrigation system, and the alchemy workshop.”

Seeing that he was chattering non-stop and even talking to him, Locke asked, “Wizard from the Fission Mausoleum, why are you here in Yunze Wetland?”

The wizard turned back to look at Locke and smiled sheepishly, “Ah, sorry, I was a little excited. After all, as a weatherman, I can’t access these things in the Fission Mausoleum. The meteorology field in Yunze Wetland is the best.”

“I’m Daniel Brooke. I’m from the Tu Qingshan Cult in the Fission Mausoleum. However, that’s just a medium-sized local wizarding organization. You probably haven’t heard of it.”

“I came to Jinman Mountain in Yunze Wetland to join the Jinman Mountain’s Advanced Zhenzhi Academy.” Daniel smiled confidently, revealing his white teeth. “I am the champion of the [Sanze Cup] in Yunze Wetland.”

“As a reward for the competition, I joined the Advanced Institute of True Knowledge in Mount Jinguan.”

Locke asked doubtfully, “Misawa Cup?”

Daniel nodded and said, “Well, the Misawa Cup is the largest competition for first-ring-level weather masters in the Eastern Boundary. It’s a huge event, and I won the championship.”

“There were six rounds in total, each one more intense than the last. The final round even required us to transform a demiplane whose ecology and climate had been completely destroyed. It was incredibly difficult, but even our creations couldn’t compare to the Golden Crown Mountain’s weather manipulation system. This system is truly intricate.”

“As a weatherman, I feel like I’m on a pilgrimage when I see this system.”

Seeing that the airship was about to reach Golden Crown Mountain, Daniel put down the book and began to talk to Locke. He was enthusiastic and very talkative, but spoke steadily. He was not impatient every time he spoke, but thought for a while to make sure what he said was right before speaking again.

He is cheerful but steady, a personality type of wizard that Locke has never seen before. He has the unique style and aesthetics of wizards from the Fission Tomb.

Indeed, as Witch Sophia said, every wizarding land has its own style and aesthetic.

The southeast corner area is balanced, the land of six towers is extremely conservative, the land of three lakes pursues exquisite beauty, the star sea is all-inclusive, and the spiral basin is extremely aggressive and will seize every opportunity.

The Fission Mausoleum also has its own collective aesthetic style, which will more or less influence the wizards born in this wizard land.

Locke chatted with Daniel and learned from him that the Fission Tomb Plain is a wizarding land with an 8,000-year history of magical copper mining.

Most of the magical copper ore comes from the Fission Mausoleum.

The alchemists in Fission Mausoleum who study raw materials are very powerful.

This is actually different from the alchemy field that the Dragonfall Land excels in, which is the source of most high-quality magic weapons.

The Fission Mausoleum excels at material development and the manufacture of bronze, brass and copper magic weapons, while the Dragon’s Falling Land excels at the development of golems and magic weapons.

The land of Sanze excels in textiles, a small field within alchemy. Many magic clothes and magic cloaks come from the land of Sanze.

In addition to the flourishing of alchemy, the school of psychology also flourished in the Fission Mausoleum.

Specifically, the flourishing of aphorisms within the spiritual school.

It just so happens that Wizard Daniel’s main occupation is a weatherman, and his secondary occupation is a prophet.

When Wizard Daniel heard Locke say that he, too, was going to join the Golden Crown Mountain Academy of Advanced Knowledge, he looked at Locke with surprise and said, “There are only two wizards who can enter the Golden Crown Mountain Academy of Advanced Knowledge this year, and you are one of them. What a coincidence that we are on the same airship.”

“Your co-mentor is Witch Ekaterina, and my co-mentor is Wizard Fyodor. He is a three-ring wizard and a throne wizard in the field of meteorology.”

“Then we are colleagues,” Wizard Daniel said with a smile. “Land is very expensive on Golden Crown Mountain. It’s even difficult for outside wizards to find cheap housing in the wizarding area, so I guess the dormitory the academy arranged for us is probably together.”

“I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence.”

“But…” Wizard Daniel’s expression was odd. He spoke directly, not wanting to hide his thoughts. “Although admission to the Academy of True Knowledge only requires reaching the Liquefaction Stage before the age of fifty, even ordinary academies of True Knowledge generally require the First Ring Crystallization Stage to join, let alone the advanced Academy of True Knowledge in the Yunze Land. I didn’t expect that a wizard like you, a First Ring Liquidation Stage wizard, could even join.”

“I remember that this year, a first-ring crystallized wizard from their school wanted to join the Advanced True Knowledge Academy at Mount Golden Crown, but was rejected outright. I guess you squeezed him out of the spot.”

Wizard Daniel looked at Locke with admiration, “I guess you must be very good, otherwise you would never be able to do such a thing.”

Locke said, “It’s okay.”

Locke said, “I’m very curious about the methods of you motto masters. I’ve never seen a wizard from the School of Psychics before.”

Wizard Daniel summoned a brass iron book, on which lines of text appeared.

This bronze book seems to be the mainstream means of communication in Fission Mausoleum.

After replying to the message, Wizard Daniel snapped his fingers, hiding the bronze book, and then smiled apologetically at Locke, saying, “It’s one of my wizard seed students in the Tu Qingshan Order who is contacting me.”

“I previously gave him special permissions, allowing him to contact us using our wizarding land’s communication system and ask me questions.”

“I have a good relationship with him, so I’ve put a little more thought into him.” Wizard Daniel looked at Locke and said, “Let’s get back to the point, colleague Locke, haven’t you ever seen the methods of a motto master before?”

“As a colleague we’ve just met, I can show you the spell model of Proverbs.”

Wizard Daniel smiled and took out a magic feather pen from his star ring. What was worth Locke’s attention was that this feather pen was not an ordinary goose feather pen.

The main body of the quill pen emits a faint reddish light, like a ball of misty flame with flashes of lightning in the flame.

Locke was slightly surprised. “Is this made of… the tail feathers of a Thunderfire Griffin?”

The Thunderfire Griffin is a masterpiece of the School of Summoning’s sub-direction of biological breeding. It is a super magical creature bred from a thunderbird, a griffin, and a fire cat. However, it has no reproductive capacity, so it requires experienced magical creature breeders to continuously hybridize and create before a corresponding first-ring magical creature, the Thunderfire Griffin, can be produced on the market.

But the Thunderfire Griffin is a magical creature in the crystallization stage. Since this feather pen is made of its tail feathers, it is priceless.

It is definitely impossible to buy it with 10,000 magic stones. The price of this feather pen is probably around 50,000 magic stones.

For a first-ring wizard, it is a serious light luxury product.

Wizard Daniel nodded. “Good eyesight, colleague.”

“This is made from the tail feathers of the Thunderfire Griffin.”

Wizard Daniel took out a first-class apprentice-level snake-tailed yellow lion from the Star Ring. As soon as the lion was taken out of the Star Ring, it howled, tucked its tail, and tried to escape, but Wizard Daniel pinched the magic feather pen between his thumb and middle finger, and then chanted a spell, and then wrote the word “Stop” on the forehead of the snake-tailed yellow lion with special azure ink.

Suddenly, the yellow lion with a snake tail squatted on the spot and stopped moving.

When Locke saw this scene, he immediately understood that the lion’s mind had been suppressed by the word “Stop” on its forehead, so it was completely unable to move.

Wizard Daniel said, “Look, this is the method of the Master of Proverbs, a branch of our School of Psychic Studies. We can use written words to influence and shock the minds of others. Of course, these words have actually been specially modified. Look at the edges of the word ‘stop’. There are a lot of extra patterns around them. Those are actually the spell models of my Psychic Studies spells.”

“The spells of the Psychic School are quite special. To use them, they require a specific transformation of mana and a certain blend of spiritual power.”

Locke nodded slightly. Psychic power and dragon power are actually a mixture of magic power and mental power in different proportions.

Both are powerful branches of the School of Psychic Power.

Wizard Daniel said, “A motto master needs to first mix magic power and spiritual power in proportion and transform them into [telekinesis]. Therefore, before using motto, one must first possess [telekinesis]…”

Wizard Daniel used white ink to erase the word “Stop” on the lion’s forehead, and then used a magic feather pen dipped in azure ink to write “Fear”. Immediately, the yellow lion with a snake tail collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

Locke nodded slightly, thinking that he had broadened his horizons a lot this time.

It is worthy of being called the Golden Crown Mountain. Before even entering, I encountered things I had never encountered before.

Locke used his spiritual vision to observe the lion’s spiritual changes, thereby indirectly understanding the other party’s mental state.

Undoubtedly, as a sub-direction of magic in the School of Psychic, the spell model of Proverbs is more sophisticated than the Dragon’s Might of its own School of Psychic, but it also means that its range is not as strong as its own Dragon’s Might.

Locke also noticed that this kind of Proverbs spell model was extremely sophisticated, so it would be difficult to use in a battle of the same level, and it would probably be difficult to work on wizards with more powerful magic than himself.

But for wizards with weaker magic power than oneself, the restraining effect is extremely great.

It is a powerful tool for bullying weak opponents.

This is actually different from his own dragon power. Even when facing a being with more powerful magic power than himself, his dragon power can still play a role in weakening the opponent’s strength.

Of course, this is only relative.

Locke predicted that if the mind was affected by this kind of motto spell once, it would be very troublesome. He expected a series of subsequent combos that could not break the defense, and if the defense was broken once, it would be very troublesome.

This is different from the curse magic of the curse master. Curse magic is also a weapon to bully weak opponents, but as long as a wizard is not at his wit’s end, his magic resistance will not be completely reduced because of a curse. However, with mental resistance, it is easy to lose everything with just one wrong move.

The working principle of this mantra spell model is different from the powerful human charm type spell of the enchantment school, which changes the state of others’ cognition and indirectly affects their minds.

The spell model of Proverbs has a more direct, more effective, and more powerful impact on the mind. The spells of the Enchanting School can only move the minds of others when the gap is huge, otherwise it can only make some slight changes.

The spell model of the School of Psychic will work on minds of the same level.

But think about it, all magic of the School of Psychic is based on the same principle, and basically all of them are centered around mental consciousness and are the main object of study.

For the School of Enchantment, the mind is just an unimportant field, and the School of Enchantment will not fall into idealistic research. It only studies consciousness as a derivative of the human material body.

The School of Enchantment studies how to change the state of things through spells, arrays, rituals, and magic runes, as well as how to engrave objects with runes to assist in the creation of magical tools.

Locke pondered, “So it seems that the Enchanting School’s influence on consciousness is external, while the Psychic School’s influence on the mind is internal.”

“The two may appear similar, but their underlying principles are vastly different, and their scope of application is also different.”

Wizard Daniel put away his magic quill and the snake-tailed yellow lion, and said to Locke with a smile, “Excuse me for showing off. How about our Fission Mausoleum’s mind magic? It’s quite interesting, isn’t it?”

“By the way, where are you from? Hmm? The airship has landed.”

“I have to hurry to report. We’ll talk again next time when we have a chance.”
