Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 600

Chapter 597: The Sleeping Dragon and the Book List

Ekaterina glanced at Locke, turned over her left hand, and saw a dragon-headed peach tree in her hand.

Catherine raised her left hand, and the dragon-headed peach tree seemed to come alive, glaring at her.

The next moment, some kind of roar was heard, and Locke seemed to see countless powerful beasts surrounding a dragon-headed peach tree, some flying in the sky, some running on the ground, some swimming in the water, and some drilling in the mud.

Countless wild beasts surrounded the dragon-headed peach tree.

It was as if the dragon-headed peach tree was their real body.

“This is my great magic [Beast Tide Ecology].”

“It’s a relatively rare summoning spell within Botany. It uses plant mechanics to summon a group of magical creatures that have formed some kind of relationship with the magical plant, and command them to fight for me.”

Witch Ekaterina said vaguely, “This magic was created by me. My original second-level magic was not this. I modified it based on the original magic, and after four forgings, it evolved into this.”

Locke listened intently.

In fact, Catherine did not reveal much information about this great magic, such as how to summon magical creatures to fight for her.

But Locke realized from her description that the basic research on magic plants done by Group 6 and Group 3 would greatly supplement the great magic of Witch Ekaterina.

“But all six groups of the True Knowledge Academy are related to the mentor’s Ten-Person Plan. Perhaps her Ten-Person Plan is related to Grand Magic? No, Grand Magic is only a second-ring magic, while the Ten-Person Plan is a third-ring magic, half a level higher than the Throne Fund project.” Locke was momentarily dazed.

That is a project halfway to the Fourth Ring Road.

“So it’s not necessarily related to the Great Magic. But this byproduct of the Ten-Man Plan should be feeding back into the teacher’s Great Magic.” Locke made a preliminary judgment.

Ekaterina said, “Ultimate magic is about creating a magic source for yourself, so it’s best to use some kind of offensive magic as a blueprint. This way you can create a powerful magic source to the greatest extent possible.”

“Besides, using extreme magic can amplify the permanent defense field. By modifying the spell model, you can make your permanent defense field reach the second ring level.”

“No need to add a permanent defensive force field to yourself.”

“Using defensive magic to create extremely powerful magic usually results in an instantaneous burst of energy, which is very low and does not give full play to the defensive advantage.”

Witch Ekaterina said, “Unlike the permanent defense field, the maximum magic is just a powerful magic source and does not have a permanent property. It just has a huge amount of energy and will not be exhausted in a short time.”

“But at the second-ring level, or when fighting against a mixed group of first-ring and apprentice wizards, using all your magic consumes a lot of energy, so it’s easy to use up all of Sora’s magic power.”

“So, choosing defensive magic as your ultimate magic naturally makes you inferior to others. Your instantaneous energy output is lower than other wizards, and your total energy during the formation phase is lower than others. Moreover, you can’t actively attack others, only defending. This is truly a huge disadvantage.”

Locke nodded.

Indeed, in this way, the permanent defensive force field and the great magic are like a wizard’s shield and sword, one for attack and one for defense, and the two are well balanced.

But it would be interesting if a wizard who chose offensive magic as a permanent defensive force field in the first ring stage once again made a choice contrary to the mainstream in the second ring stage.

Witch Ekaterina put away her beast tide ecology.

The moment her beast tide ecology appeared, Locke felt as if the rules of the world around him had changed, and his body felt extremely uncomfortable.

There was some kind of force that seemed to want to change himself at the level of his biological habits, and make him submit to the dragon-headed peach tree.

If the witch Catherine intended to target him, he would probably be unable to resist this strange ecological force.

Witch Ekaterina looked at Locke and said, “So you also need to choose one from the various offensive magics as the blueprint for your own great magic.”

“As for which offensive magic to choose, it depends on what you like, what you are interested in, or what you are good at.”

Locke asked Ekaterina, “Teacher, do you have any recommendations?”

The witch Ekaterina gave him a list of books. “Go and redeem these articles and books and read them. Some of these books require a lot of Contribution Points, around 2,000 to 3,000, and they contain top-secret information.”

“But I think you’ll gain a lot if you read it. My advice to you is to try to choose plant magic that ends with the word ‘eco’.”

Locke was stunned for a moment and asked, “Teacher, why is this? Are there any special benefits? Or is it that the extremely powerful magic constructed in this way will be particularly powerful?”

Witch Ekaterina shook her head slightly. “Every great magic will eventually evolve as the wizard forges it. By tapping into the potential of great magic and reforging it, wizards will forge their own unique and powerful source of magic through a process of no forging, virtual forging, false forging, and true forging.”

“During these forgings, a second-ring wizard will come into contact with…” Ekaterina suddenly paused, then changed the subject, “The strength of a second-ring wizard’s magic isn’t simply determined by the offensive magic he uses. That’s too superficial.”

“It’s like my great magic has changed a lot since it was first created.”

“But using plant magic ending in “ecosystem” as a model, forging great magic will be much easier.”

Witch Ekaterina said, “Take Celtic. He failed five times. Besides lacking talent and being too impatient, there was another very important reason. He used the second-level magic [Vetiver Killing Storm] as the blueprint for his own ultimate magic.”

“It’s not bad, but it would simply increase the difficulty. For botanical wizards, choosing magic that ends with ecology from the beginning would make it easier to create extremely powerful magic.”

“Maximum magic requires a special energy cycle or the accumulation of large amounts of energy. Either way, it’s a form of ecology. Therefore, ecological plant magic is very suitable for maximum magic, reducing the difficulty by at least half.” Witch Ekaterina said, “However, given Celt’s circumstances at the time, no one likely told him about this.”

“Also, given his learning conditions at the time, it was already good enough for him to have access to a spell model book on second-ring magic, as well as related literature and journals. Naturally, there weren’t that many choices, so he could just pick whatever he wanted.”

Witch Ekaterina said, “But you are different. You are a student of the Throne Wizard and a researcher at Mount Golden Crown. You have access to the most cutting-edge magical theories.”

“First, follow the book list I gave you and read ‘Photosynthetic Ecological Spell’, ‘Aura Ecological Spell’, ‘Anima Domain Spell’, ‘Ether Network Spell’, ‘Lim Cyclic Ecological Spell’, and the related literature I recommended.”

Locke felt tremendous pressure because all the books and documents that Witch Catherine arranged for him were of the second-ring level.

This is a huge pressure on myself.

Especially since I have to compete in a competition soon, prepare for the next round of funding, and pass the fourth round of ladder tests…

But this is the other party’s kindness. These are the books that I must study in order to advance, so I have to work hard.

It can only be said that it is so difficult to break through the limit of the soul for the second time.

Every person who breaks through the second limit is a symbol of civilization and a valuable asset of civilization.

Worthy of admiration.

The witch Ekaterina suddenly spoke up. “Besides that, you must write me a book review every month.”

Locke was stunned for a moment, then bowed to the witch Ekaterina. “Okay, teacher.”

Witch Ekaterina waved her hand at Locke and said, “Five days later, I have arranged for you to have two wizards, a three-ring wizard and a moon-ring wizard. They will send their students to sign a contract with you for the licensing fee of Overlord Element No. 2.”

“I’ve already negotiated the terms for you, so they just need to send their students to sign a contract with you.”

Witch Ekaterina said, “Currently, these two wizards have spread the word, causing the stocks of the No. 1 Overlord Element-related stores to plummet. They bought at the bottom, so you’ve been quite hated lately.”

“If I were you, I would definitely not go out in the near future.”

“But I’ve already helped you avoid most of the trouble. You’re smart enough to know you can’t mess around with this kind of thing on your own. Otherwise, when you die one day, you won’t even know who you offended.”

“I’ve solved your problem now. I’ll shoulder the pressure for you. If you did this kind of thing, you’d be hated, but if I do it, no one would dare to say anything.”

Locke saluted the witch Ekaterina. “Thank you, teacher.”

The witch Ekaterina, with her hair loose, sat back at her desk. She seemed to be in a bad state. Her eyelids kept closing and her breathing began to become longer.

She leaned on the desk, propped up her cheek with her palm, and looked at Locke lazily. “By the way, please tell the six team leaders not to come to me recently.”

“I am about to fall into the Dragon’s Sleep.”

Locke was stunned for a moment, then remembered that he had seen descriptions related to the True Dragon’s Sleep when he was reading journals.

That was one of the ways that True Dragons increased their strength. True Dragons only needed to sleep to increase their strength, and every once in a while, they would find a place to fall into a deep sleep.

It could very well take a hundred years.

Locke was shocked. Was the witch Catherine going to sleep for a hundred years?

“I only need to sleep for a month,” whispered the witch Ekaterina.

“See you in a month.”

The next moment, Locke just blinked and found that he was no longer on the seventh floor of the Zhenzhiyuan, but appeared on the back of a white cloud whale outside the Zhenzhiyuan castle.

“It seems like they used some kind of space magic sub-school of conjuration to teleport me out directly.”

Locke looked at Zhenzhiyuan in surprise.

At this time, the entire seventh floor of Zhenzhiyuan had completely disappeared, as if there had only been six floors.

Therefore, no wizard can now find the witch Catherine.

Locke smiled bitterly. “I never thought that the teacher would fall into the Dragon’s Sleep.”

“I even caused their stock price to plummet. I’d better stay out of the house lately. Well, I still have Team Leader Celtic to protect me.”

Locke quickly contacted the Celtic team leader, told him the information, and asked him to pass it on to the six team leaders.

…

At three o’clock in the morning, because Scarlett Witch invited him, Locke went to private room 13 in the witch’s kitchen.

Scarlett Witch paid for Locke’s tea as an apology, then said to him, “Sorry, sorry, Locke. I’ve just been promoted to a gold trader and have to manage several more flagship products, so I’m really busy. I wanted to meet you this afternoon, but something unexpected happened.”

Locke waved his hand and said, “If you ask me out in the afternoon, I won’t have time.”

At that time, I had just returned to digest the secret of creation.

I also just went to the library and spent 29,000 contribution points to exchange for a bunch of information on the book list given to me by Witch Catherine.

This also resulted in all of his contribution points being used up.

Because he had other miscellaneous exchange expenses before, and exchanged two wizard secret realms for two apprentices, plus the content on the book list this time, he directly consumed all the contribution points.

Witch Ekaterina probably made a list of books for herself based on her remaining contribution points.

I need to write a few more articles and earn some contribution points for future use.

Fortunately, because of the Tyrant’s Eye potion, I may be able to post another article in the first section.

As for the advanced meditation method, due to the restrictions of the contract, I am unable to use the knowledge gained from it to publish articles. This was stipulated in the contract from the beginning.

The White Wizard Association does not want the knowledge of various advanced meditation methods to become common goods that can be purchased at will.

Advanced meditation techniques are inherently dangerous.

Ordinary wizards can easily kill themselves by learning, or become unconscious puppets who have mistakenly entered the illusion.

Locke asked Scarlett Witch, “But, is there anything you want to talk to me about?”

Scarlett Witch looked at Locke and said, “November 1st Sports Day is coming soon. What are your preparations?”

Scarlett Witch was stunned. “I thought you’d be prepared. Not prepared? We made sales history on True Love Day, and I’m ready to make history again with you at Sports Day.”

Locke nodded. “I’ve been busy with other things lately.”

His main focus recently has been on developing an improved version of the Tyrant’s Eye potion to increase his magic pressure.

To be honest, my magic pressure has increased by 700 points in two and a half months, which is an amazing improvement.

There are too many resources that are difficult for ordinary wizards to access.

The backflow of the natural force plane, the magic of the Peach Arc Thorn Arrow, the soul magic weapon, the secret of creation of the advanced meditation method, the abyss battlefield ritual, the compression method given to him by the witch Sophia, and the insights he learned from the ritual magic, the two kinds of Mist power and the forest sanctuary.

It is these things combined that have enabled me to grow so fast.

Scarlett Witch said, “If you haven’t prepared yet, it might not be too late to prepare now. It’s better than doing nothing, right? Don’t you want to make money?”

Locke said: “Make money, I must make money!”

Scarlett Witch smiled and said, “Here, these are the event materials for the Sports Festival!”
