Chapter 579: Silent Holy Grail Tournament and Waterway Plan

Chapter 579 Silent Holy Grail Tournament and Waterway Plan
Wizard Hayes left Locke’s dormitory with satisfaction. He told Locke that he would return to Queen’s University this afternoon. Before leaving, he chatted with Locke about the famous Fountain of Wisdom at Queen’s University.

The Holy Spring Mountain, where Quinjou University is located, is named after it. Legend has it that the spring water has special powers that can tap into the deepest potential in people’s hearts.

Before leaving, Wizard Hayes proudly mentioned to Locke that his mentor Barbatos had arranged for him to enter the Fountain of Wisdom at Quinjol University as soon as he became a three-ring wizard.

Locke watched Wizard Hayes leave, then raised his eyebrows and smiled, whispering, “What Wizard Hayes kept saying was that he could become a second-ring wizard, and how much his third-ring wizard mentor, Barbatos, contributed to that.”

“He is indeed enviable.”

Wizard Hayes has followed Wizard Barbatos since he became an official wizard, and followed him all the way until he became a three-ring wizard. From then on, his life was on the rise.

He followed the right person.

But judging from his description, how much resources are needed to become a second-ring wizard—

The opportunity to drink from the world’s second-largest fountain of wisdom, a license for colonization…

Maybe there are more resources that you don’t know about.

In short, to become a second-ring wizard, you need more things, and Wizard Hayes is your future.

I am now walking the same path he walked not long ago.

You also need huge resources.

“A second-ring wizard is someone who has broken through the limits of their race for the second time, transforming transcendence from the singular to the plural, and adapting to the lives of those who transcend.” Locke said, “If a first-ring wizard is a young person, a second-ring wizard is the backbone of the wizarding world.”

“My current magic pressure seems to be 9110, but it’s still a long way from being a second-ring wizard. First, I need to quickly increase my normal magic pressure to the first-ring limit of 9999.”

Locke pondered, “Then, collect the resources needed to become a second-ring wizard.”

Locke practiced the Peach Arc Thorn Arrow magic for another two hours in the simple laboratory in his dormitory.

Allow your spirit to enter a blank state.

“Two hours…” Locke came out of a state of complete spiritual emptiness where all spirituality was dormant.

He opened his eyes, and suddenly azure magical light emerged from his eyes. The spiritual blank state that had been dormant for two hours had pushed his own magic pressure, magic power and spirituality to the extreme. At this moment, it was suddenly released, and it became even more powerful out of thin air.

“I’ve been able to stay in this state called Flow for two hours now,” Locke said. “This technique of transforming one’s spirituality into a blank state is truly unique.”

“I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I feel like the speed at which my demonic pressure is increasing has increased again, and I’ve re-entered a period of rapid growth.”

“Sure enough, following Witch Ekaterina’s arrangements, my magic power will increase very quickly.”

Locke put away the golden palace branch and the small Vajra Date pendant on the ritual circle.

The reason why his Taohu Jishishi could make such rapid progress was partly due to the harvest from using the Queen’s Chessboard and directly contacting the source material level, and partly because of the efficacy of these two luxury magic plants.

At 3:40 in the afternoon, Locke went out and summoned his cloud whale. He sat on the cloud whale, crossed the sky, and arrived above the Dragon Blood Market Castle.

Dragon Blood Market, in the witch’s kitchen.

Locke walked into private room No. 31 and saw a wizard who wrapped himself up like a black magic ball.

Locke looked at him and sighed. “Warwick, the Sacred Masters of the Yunze Wetlands aren’t very powerful, and there aren’t any Demon Hunters who specialize in hunting Dark Wizards.”

“What are you doing?”

The wizard Warwick pulled down the hood of at least five layers of black magic clothes from his head, revealing the silver-cast werewolf head.

Warwick shrank his head and greeted Locke. “We meet again, Professor Augustine.”

“This is the Yunze Wetlands, and the White Wizards are very powerful. If I don’t wear a few more magical robes to conceal my aura, how can I walk safely into the Golden Crown Mountain?”

Warwick seemed to blame Locke. “How did you, an archaeologist, come to such a damn place? This is one of the White Wizards’ bases and one of their most powerful wizarding lands.”

“We dark wizards can’t exist here at all!”

Locke asked casually. “Ah, I’m also wondering why there is no Dark Wizards Alliance in Yunze Wetlands. Do you know why?”

Warwick was about to speak when the silver magic eye on his forehead suddenly turned.

His expression changed slightly, and then he pointed to the sky as if he had thought of something.

Then, he shook his head slightly. “That’s the only thing I absolutely cannot tell the White Wizard who asked me this. Unless I want to die.”

“Besides, I don’t know exactly. Don’t ask me this question. I can’t answer it. Although answering other people’s questions is the duty of archaeologists, this question is under the protection of a special magic.”

Warwick is mysterious. “I advise you not to waste too much energy on unnecessary issues. Remember one thing – God has eyes.”

Locke followed his finger and looked up at the roof with a complicated look in his eyes. “Well, let’s not talk about it then.”

God has eyes, this sentence directly states myself.

What is the Eye in Heaven…

Eye of Truth!

Dark wizards are a product of the modern era.

From the historical materials that Warwick had given him before, Locke sensed something amiss from various aspects.

Why did dark wizards only appear in modern times?
Why did dark wizards not dare to tell me what they knew?

Some force so powerful that it seems to be the law of nature is interfering with this matter.

How many levels of magic did a wizard cast?
Locke sat down, leaned back, and said, “Then let’s not talk about the heavens. Let’s talk about you. Warwick, why did you ask me to come here?”

Warwick grew serious. “Your place is indeed difficult to enter, much more so than the Six Towers. I’ve tried so many methods, nearly killing myself, that I finally managed to enter your place without anyone noticing.”

“Humph, those white wizards are still too naive. Want to discover me? That’s impossible.”

Warwick said, “I need to tell you that there has been a change of plan. I can’t wait for you that long. We need to act quickly.”

“Hmm?” Warwick saw Locke lowering his head and taking out a wishing Ganoderma lucidum, and he was quite dissatisfied. “What are you doing?”

At this time, Locke set the interface of the Wish Ganoderma lucidum so that only he could see it.

This is based on the combination of magic from the two fields of the School of Prophecy and the School of Illusion, and the large-scale communication water hyacinth system created can easily achieve this.

At this time, Locke saw that the witch Catherine was looking for him.

Witch Ekaterina sent a message to him. ‘A dark wizard who transformed himself into an abyssal werewolf is looking for you. Do you know his identity?’

Locke looked up at Warwick, who was boasting about how ‘no one noticed’ him, and held his forehead. He sent a message to Ekaterina the Witch. ‘Teacher, I know his identity. He asked me to help him prepare the Abyssal Werewolf Transformation Potion.’

“He’s an archaeologist. He came to me this time to ask me to explore the Abyss Ruins with him. We had originally agreed to explore the Abyss Ruins in a year and a half, but for some reason, he suddenly came here now.”

Witch Ekaterina said: “Well, it’s because of a policy in the Star Territory Sea. Probably because of the [Waterway Project].

Locke asked: “Teacher, what is the waterway plan?”

After asking, Locke immediately realized that Witch Ekaterina might not reply, because this was probably not something a wizard of his level could know.

But Ekaterina the Witch replied almost instantly. “It was proposed by the Starry Sea and is part of the Starry Sea’s plan to elevate demons.”

“Use the Abyssal River at the border between the Abyssal Plane and the Prime Material Plane, the Styx River at the border between the Underworld Plane and the Prime Material Plane, and the Cloud Lake in our Three Lakes Land to open a waterway connecting all the wizarding lands in the Eastern Boundary.”

‘Achieve integration of the eastern border area.’

“The waterway doesn’t have a name yet, as the overall plan hasn’t been finalized. Furthermore, this matter requires the approval of the White Wizards’ Associations of all the major wizarding lands, and perhaps also guarantees from the various Dark Wizards’ Alliances not to cause trouble.”

“But the groundwork for the waterway project has already begun. I believe this is why the dark wizard came to you so early. Once this project begins, the impact will be significant, affecting even the portion of the Abyssal River that borders the Prime Material Plane.”

“Jungle Hands believes there are environmental issues, and that’s a major force behind the plan. There’s also opposition from groups like the Heritage Conservation Foundation. There’s a lot of resistance to the plan.”

Locke nodded slightly, and took this opportunity to ask the witch Ekaterina about the competition to obtain the plane coordinates.

Witch Ekaterina sent a message. “I don’t recommend you use this. It has already been used to advance to the second-ring wizard’s plane, to create your own great magic.”

“Therefore, most competitions are not suitable for you. However, there is one competition you might consider. It’s the upcoming competition, the Silent Holy Grail Tournament. Here are the details for you to check out.”

“Even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have told you and asked you to participate. Besides, you’re lucky.”

Locke saw that the other party sent a long string of information related to the Silent Holy Grail Championship.

The Silent Holy Grail is a comprehensive competition organized by the four top colleges among the seven top forces in Yunze Wetland, and all wizards can participate.

There are only two restrictions.

First, you must be a first-ring wizard.

Second, he must be a wizard from the Academy of True Knowledge, one of the four major academies.

In other words, this is a formal wizard-level competition held within the four major colleges. Every year, contestants must generally reach the first level of extreme magic pressure, which is 9999, to be qualified to participate.

According to the information sent to him by Witch Ekaterina, the original intention of this competition was to provide a benefit to the researchers of the Institute of True Knowledge.

All researchers who participate in this competition can accumulate great magical experience, because this competition involves plane exploration, and the competition venue is a plane called [Silent Plane].

This is a special plane left behind by the Three-Ring Throne Witch [Silent Witch] who went to the Star Sea. Special tests were set up in this plane.

What is being compared is the ability of researchers from the Institute of True Knowledge, one of the four top universities, to explore different dimensions.

Before leaving Yunze Wetland, the Silent Witch of Jinmian Mountain left this benefit for Jinmian Mountain and the other three colleges that had good relations with it.

From now on, researchers from the four top universities, including the Academy of True Knowledge, can participate in the Silent Holy Grail Tournament every ten years to compete for the Holy Grail.

This year, the 16th Silent Holy Grail Competition begins.

That’s why Witch Catherine said she was very lucky.

The Silent Grail Contest is particularly generous.

It may be because the silent witch was promoted to a fourth-ring wizard after going to the Star Sea and obtained the title of Truth Wizard.

Therefore, the winner of each Silent Holy Grail Competition will obtain the coordinates of a new medium-sized plane.

That is to say, you can enjoy a medium-sized plane to yourself.

Can colonize alone!

After checking the information, Locke determined that the Silent Holy Grail Competition was the competition he needed to participate in most at the moment.

Through this competition, you can obtain the dimension that you want that has never been developed.

However, as time went by, this competition had turned into a competition between the four top colleges in Yunze Wetland.

The champion represents the reputation of the four top universities.

Therefore, contestants need to be selected before they can enter.

After all, if you rank last, you will have to wait another ten years to get revenge.

Wait for the next Silent Holy Grail Tournament ten years later.

Witch Ekaterina sent a message. “You can participate in this year’s Wand Tournament—the spell combat competition on Sports Day. The only person from our Golden Crown Mountain who can compete in the Silent Holy Grail Competition is a First Ring Crystallization Researcher, the most powerful wizard.”

“If you want to represent us at Golden Crown Mountain and participate in the Silent Grail Tournament, you must first win the Wand Tournament. If you have no objection, I’ll sign you up.”

“If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I’m free soon.”

Of course, Locke had no objection to this and expressed his gratitude to Witch Catherine in his reply.

The witch Ekaterina asked Locke, “How is your learning of Tao Qu Ji Ya going? How long can you maintain the flow state?”

Locke replied: ‘Two hours.’

Ekaterina the Witch replied: “Well, this speed is very good.”

‘Keep going, learn as soon as possible.’

Meanwhile, Warwick drummed his fingers on the table, finishing his useless ramblings and lowering his voice to Locke. “According to rumors, the Star Region Sea is about to start major construction on the Abyssal River. If we don’t act now, there may be consequences in the future.”

“So, we must act in advance!”

Locke asked, “Major construction? What kind of construction?”

Warwick looked at Locke in confusion. “How could I possibly know such top-secret information? I already have many friends for knowing that the Star Sea is planning to undertake major construction on the Abyss River.”

“As for the specific reason for starting the construction and what exactly they are going to do…how can we wizards know this? That is information that only the higher-ups can know.”
