Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 562

Chapter 559: Meeting Rashid Talil Again

Chapter 559: Meeting Rashid
Talil Albert took the initiative to step aside, only to see Angelo and Aisi, whom he had not seen for more than two years, standing in front of him after communicating through video.

Although they haven’t seen each other for more than two years, their faces are still the same, as if they had just separated yesterday, and time has not left any traces on them.

In fact, for a first-class wizard apprentice who has generated a magic pressure structure, the normal lifespan of a first-class wizard apprentice is two hundred years. It is not a problem to delay it for more than ten years by using some special magic potions.

The normal lifespan of a formal wizard is 500 years, but formal wizards have too many means to transform themselves, so living a few decades longer is not a problem.

This meant that a mere two years seemed too short in their eyes.

For Angelo and Aisi, Locke was similar to those senior wizards in Lilith’s Hut, going out to do an academy mission or a long-term experiment.

It was just that when they met again, Locke was a first-ring crystallized wizard, and they were both first-class wizard apprentices with a magic power of more than 500. For a moment, they both felt sighs and awe in their hearts.

Locke glanced at the two of them and said with a smile, “Angel, Aisi, long time no see. The speed at which your mana is increasing is quite good. You both have increased your magic pressure by dozens of points.”

“Especially Angelo, your mana is almost reaching 600. It seems that you have a chance to strive for the honor of being an apprentice in Lilith’s Hut.”

The corners of Angelo and Aisi’s mouth twitched. The speed of their progress was indeed quite good within their circle.

But compared with Locke, it is like staying where you are and making no progress.

Angelo bowed slightly to Locke, then said, “Locke, long time no see. I haven’t seen you for over two years, and I kind of miss you. Aisi and I both miss the days when we worked together in the treatment center.”

“But then you and Teacher Sophia left, and that pesky Angron was thrown into prison. Only Aisi and I were left in the infirmary, living as usual. But every time I use the Lesser Emerald Potion or the Bear Spirit Emerald Gall Potion, I think of you.”

Ai Xi thanked Locke, “I also want to thank you for helping us publish a lot of C-level articles over the past two years, which laid a good foundation for us. And you and Madam Irina are in a cooperative relationship.”

“Therefore, Madam Irina gave us special care, which is why Angelo and I were able to progress so quickly. We even began to think that we had a chance to become official wizards before we turned forty.”

Locke nodded.

Angelo said, “Teacher Harlan told us that you were helping Senior Albert become a formal wizard, so we had more contact with Senior Albert at Lilith’s Cottage.”

“After a few interactions, we became friends with the senior.”

Albert seemed to be much more cheerful because of his two friends. He smiled at Locke and said, “Locke, thank you for not only finding out the cause of my illness, but also for bringing me two more friends.”

Locke nodded and said, “It’s good to see that you can cheer up.”

Locke said, “By the way, I have two friends in Lilith’s cabin. One is Lawn and the other is Pierre. How are they doing now? Has Lawn become a second-class wizard apprentice?”

On the other end of the video conversation, the three of them looked at each other awkwardly.

The three knew very little about the two friends Locke made during his third-class wizard apprenticeship, so they had not paid any attention to them before, and now they had no idea whether they were alive or dead.

Albert suddenly said, “I don’t know much about that Lawn, but I do know Pierre. He’s a second-class wizard apprentice with average talent, but he has a special magic-free physique, so he’s somewhat famous within the academy.”

“He should still be alive. If Locke needs anything, we can invite them to come during our next video conversation.”

Locke said: “This… whatever, I just asked casually.”

“They are my old friends. Albert, after you become a formal wizard, you can take care of them a little. Of course, don’t take it too seriously.”

Albert heard Locke’s tone, as if he was very sure that he would be promoted to a formal wizard, and immediately said happily: “If I can be promoted to a formal wizard, I will not be able to leave Lilith’s cottage. I will definitely protect your two friends.”

“But I’ve failed three times.”

Locke nodded slightly.

“Then let’s get started. You saved me some trouble by inviting Angel and Aisi over.”

“Albert, have you recharged the gold membership of the Gray Mist Slate that the academy gave me?”

Albert said, “Yes.”

Gold members have to pay 10,000 magic stones every month. Originally, Locke was reluctant to recharge, but for the Power of Mist project, Lilith Hut gave him a quota of one million magic stones.

Then I don’t have to put myself in such a difficult position and just let Albert top up a gold membership for me.

At this moment, Locke pointed at the image in the dialogue with the illusory image in the air, and his own image appeared between Angel, Aisi and Albert.

Albert and others looked in surprise at the illusory Locke standing among them.

Locke explained, “Gold members of the Gray Mist Slate have a privilege that allows me to send my spiritual clone through the astrology system. The spiritual clone can directly touch objects and has a certain attack power, but it is relatively weak.”

“It’s only about 200 magic pressure, which is completely useless for anything.”

The corners of Angelo and Aisi’s mouths twitched slightly.

Two hundred magic pressures were already equivalent to that of a first-class wizard apprentice. Although he was only a newly promoted first-class wizard apprentice, two hundred magic pressures were already considered very high in the eyes of these wizard apprentices.

They found that Locke’s perspective was completely different from theirs.

At this moment, Locke suddenly chanted a spell and used the “One Breath, One Branch”. At the same time, his body connected his breath with the [Spiritual Projection] created by his astrological system.

A magical pressure belonging to the official wizard level gradually descended into this small space.

The demonic pressure, as big as a mountain, came pouring back like the sea.

The next moment, Locke’s spiritual clone shattered and disappeared into thin air.

Albert, Angelo and Aisi were sweating profusely, their hearts pounding, and then they lay on the ground, gasping for breath.

At this moment, Locke’s spiritual projection disappeared, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, Locke’s magic pressure appeared in this small room for the second time, but this time he quickly restrained the magic pressure.

“Even if I use the same energy and branches to exploit a loophole, this incarnation formed by the condensation of spiritual projection can only withstand 999 magic pressure at most?”

Moreover, in the process of power transmission, only one tenth of it can be retained, which results in a huge waste. Moreover, if it were not for the recent rapid progress in his botanical magic, it would be impossible for him to successfully use the same spirit connection on his spiritual projection.

Locke quickly realized that it was a soul limit that restricted him from further increasing the magic pressure of this clone to a level beyond that of a formal wizard.

After all, this spiritual clone’s soul, without the protection of a permanent defensive force field, cannot withstand a magic pressure exceeding 1,000, and there is a racial soul limit.

“Back then, Edgar’s natural clone was successful because he used the special ability of the Ancient Tree of Life. The incarnation also used the Ancient Tree of Life!” Locke reacted immediately.

From this point of view, it is not easy for a formal wizard to create an avatar with a magic pressure exceeding 1000.

In order to create this spiritual clone with 999 magic pressure, his original body has already used all its strength.

Albert and others looked at Locke in surprise. They didn’t expect that Locke could use the gray mist slate to teleport over such a long distance.

Albert’s eyes flashed with desire. “Is this the power of a formal wizard?”

Locke responded, “I’ve only borrowed the astrological system of the White Wizards’ Association in the southeastern region, which is why I’ve been able to achieve this. After all, those 10,000 magic stones every month aren’t wasted. As long as you close the Gray Mist Slate, this clone of mine will disappear immediately.”

Relatively speaking, not all first-ring wizards can achieve this level.

As a first-ring crystallized wizard, Locke made a lot of preparations in advance and achieved this through the combination of the botanical magic “One Breed” and the first-ring magic “Spiritual Projection” that comes with gold members.

Locke said, “Therefore, for first-class wizard apprentices like you, using the Gray Mist Slate itself means a certain risk. Therefore, the association has not opened it to apprentices like you.”

“Imagine that the Blood Curse Court packaged the curse magic into a data package and sent it to you via the Gray Mist Slate, or even to a group within the Gray Mist Slate. What would happen then?”

The three wizard apprentices imagined the scene and were immediately shocked.

Angelou said, “That’s terrible.”

Locke said calmly, “Let’s get started. Angelo and Aisi, you two can help out a bit. There might be some minor troubles later.”

“Albert, you must open the Gray Mist Slate at any time, otherwise my clone will be forced to collapse.”

“If your soul reaches the first ring level, the control that the disc creature [Gromdal] has over you will become very weak, or even nonexistent.”

“It’s not going to sit back and let that happen.”

Locke looked at Albert calmly. In fact, the souls of real wizards possessed a permanent defensive field. Once this field appeared, many of Gromdall’s methods that had previously had a crushing effect on wizard apprentices would be completely ineffective.

Official wizard is definitely a dividing point.

The emergence of the permanent defensive force field has brought wizards to a whole new level, allowing the strength of their souls to reach an incredible level.

The four of them walked through the corridor and came to the constant temperature breeding room. Three red hollies, as well as some shrubs and herbs, had already been planted in this constant temperature breeding room in the Mist Power Research Center.

Because it gathers the power of Lilith’s hut, this forest sanctuary looks even more perfect than the forest that Locke first saw.

Moreover, it looks very delicate, like a small garden.

At this time, Albert drank a bottle of Holy Spring Nectar Potion and a set of Star Soul Liquid (three bottles) according to Locke’s request.

The Star Soul Liquid can effectively reduce the side effects of the promotion potion, while the Holy Spring Nectar Potion can restore its condition to its peak.

Locke himself had used the Star Soul Liquid in the past. He bought it at the potion auction in Lilith’s cottage for 15,000 magic stones.

Although I used more resources to advance at that time, Albert’s situation was different from mine. He already had enough accumulated resources.

He should have become an official wizard long ago.

However, he was parasitized by the disc creature, which caused him to suffer from soul alienation syndrome and he was unable to break through and become a formal wizard.

Therefore, the promotion idea I designed for him was to use the Star Soul Liquid and Holy Spring Nectar Potions to minimize the side effects of the promotion potion he was going to drink next.

Because this was his fourth time drinking the promotion potion.

If he didn’t have a good talent, he would have been unable to drink any more promotion potions.

But the risk of drinking this promotion potion is still very high. If the breakthrough fails, he will most likely burn out his lifespan and die.

If you are in the middle of a breakthrough and your potential is insufficient, you will just end up wasting your life, which is equally dangerous.

Locke said to Albert, “Did you find the mirror I asked you to look for on the Blood Curse Court’s territory?”

Albert gave Locke a complicated look. “Yes, I found it. It took a lot of effort. Fortunately, our academy was at war with the Blood Curse Tribunal. I took advantage of the war to follow the wizard corps to the Blood Raven Wasteland and successfully found the mirror you asked me to find.”

Albert took out a broken mirror from his star ring. The mirror looked ordinary.

But Locke could recognize this mirror. It was the mirror where Rashid Talil’s curse ritual research institute was located, the place where the mirror blood curse was located, and the place where Rashid Talil’s echo was located.

After many years, Locke could still sense the residual demonic pressure of Rashid Talil from this mirror.

Then, he couldn’t help but sigh that Rashid Talil, who was so powerful in his eyes… was actually so weak.

If he appeared in front of him now, he could kill him with one hand.

After all, he is just a small wizard in the gasification stage.

Albert said to Locke, “But I don’t know, Locke, why did you let me take such a big risk to find it back…”

“Andy died because he went in here. There’s only my pain in there.”

Locke stretched out his hand, and immediately ripples appeared on the surface of the mirror. Completely chaotic curse energy leaked out from the inside of the mirror, causing the surrounding temperature to drop by dozens of degrees.

In an instant, a layer of frost formed on the ground.

Locke snapped his left fingers, and the temperature that had dropped immediately recovered completely.

At this moment, the repercussions of the death of the official wizard who was once extremely dangerous to Locke seemed so insignificant to him now.

“What are the properties of the advancement potion? It doesn’t burn your lifespan, but your potential. Only when your potential is exhausted will it start to burn your lifespan. That’s when your lifespan loss will be the greatest.”

“Albert, your lifespan can no longer withstand the loss. The potions and special resources you drank are also considered your potential. So there is another way to minimize the side effects of sacrificing potions.”

“I left behind at least one-third of the Tartarus crypt worm’s cerebrospinal fluid during this response. Back then, we couldn’t remove it completely, so we had to seal it inside. But today, everything has changed.”

Locke’s spiritual clone entered directly into it. Even though there was only 999 magic pressure, his understanding of the first ring of magic remained unchanged, and his strength was far beyond the level of a first-class wizard apprentice.

Locke rushed directly into the echo, used a natural magic to temporarily stabilize the space, quickly entered the curse ritual research institute that he was very familiar with, found the large warehouse in it, and unlocked the magic seal he had set with his own hands.

Locke waved his hand, and the plant magic seal formed by the iron wire grass was immediately lifted. A large amount of iron wire grass began to degenerate and turned back into seeds.

“Nothing has changed.” Locke waved his hand, and the wiregrass used to seal the import of Tartarus’s cerebrospinal fluid quickly degenerated into seeds. “Sure enough, these special resources are relatively well preserved. I was really foresighted back then.”

Locke removed the Tattalos spinal fluid.

At the same time, when he turned around and was about to leave, an unexpected figure appeared in front of him. It was the former Rashid Talil. He appeared behind him, with only one eye on his forehead, but there were many pupils inside that eye.

Rashid Talil’s eyes gleamed with a fierce glint. “You are… the wizard apprentice who followed Witch Sophia into my territory. Where is Witch Sophia? I want revenge on her!”

“I’ve figured out a way to defeat her. If I could do it again, I would definitely defeat her. Look at my fear blood…”

The next moment, in Locke’s eyes, Rashid Talil’s figure shattered.

Locke just transformed his demonic pressure into dragon might.

And Long Wei has the greatest suppressive power on things in the spiritual realm among the echoes.

Rashid Talil is dead, and this is just a fragment of his memory forming an illusion of the past among his echoes.

Locke didn’t even want to say such a thing, that was the wizard of the past, it was an insult to a wizard.

Locke walked out of the blood mirror space, then sealed the mirror again with a casual finger, and then threw a large number of containers containing Tartarus spinal fluid on the ground.

“Drink these resources. This way, your chances of becoming a full-fledged wizard will greatly increase.”

“Cryptworms are a treasure trove. I remember them being the main product of the Rye Underground Region in the Far West.”

For myself, Tartarus crypt worms are very useful.

Apart from anything else, when making nutrient soil, various types of nutrient soil may use materials from various parts of the Tartarus burrow worm’s body.

The Rye Underground is also the best developed area for the three magic categories: the summoning school’s sub-direction of summoning insect creatures, the incantation school’s sub-direction of insect manipulation, and the psychic school’s sub-direction of insect spell magic.

The Rye Underground Region has a well-developed industry chain of livestock and insect-like magical creatures.

It is also famous for providing biomass materials for breeding, livestock feed for wizards of the summoning school, and biomass clean energy sources for alchemists and enchanters.
