Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 619

Chapter 616 Antoine, our value is determined by ourselves!

A second-ring demon hunter in a gray wizard robe approached the first-ring crystallization demon hunter who had been monitoring the White Elephant Team contestant and asked, “Did Suspect No. 1 reveal any sensitive information to Locke Augustine of the Golden Crown Mountain True Knowledge Academy?”

The junior witcher in charge of surveillance shook his head indifferently. “Nothing was said. So I didn’t intervene.”

The witcher took off an emerald green earring bead from his earlobe. It was a witcher monitoring bead earring that was only owned by special witchers who were responsible for monitoring.

This is one of the standard magic weapons of the demon hunters. Its manufacturing method and sale are all monitored by the White Wizard Association.

Although it is not as strictly controlled as the advancement potion, not every wizard can obtain it.

The Demon Hunter grassroots said, “But for some reason, Suspect No. 1 suddenly stopped hiding and became somewhat out of control.”

The second-ring demon hunter sneered, “There’s probably no special reason. It’s just that it can’t be hidden anymore. His grades are already very abnormal, so there’s naturally no need to hide it. But in fact, we noticed his abnormality from the beginning, and we just wanted to observe who he interacted with and his social network, so we let him move freely.”

“I will personally monitor Suspect No. 1. You must immediately investigate the background information of all those who have come into contact with him, according to the list. Draw up their credit records at the five major banks to confirm their creditworthiness. Also, check their colonial credit records at the Eye of Truth to see if they are still at 1000 points!”

The Demon Hunter grassroots did not hesitate at all and immediately turned around to prepare for investigation.

For the white wizard society, it is very simple to initially confirm whether you have any problems. They just look at your bank statements and your colonial credit. As long as there are basically no problems, then this wizard will basically not have any big problems.

But as long as it is discovered that he is covered with loan records and his colonial credit has completely collapsed, then this wizard is likely to have close ties with dark wizards!
The second-ring demon hunter chanted a spell, using the magic of the illusion school to hide his body as much as possible.

But actually this is not very important.

Because the dark wizard no longer wanted to hide.

The magic eye embedded in the left eye of the second-ring demon hunter was staring at the contestant from the White Elephant Group.

At this moment, Locke was checking the sales ranking of Arthas and found that his wizard shoes were currently ranked sixth.

There are more magic weavers who send messages to me.

A magic weaver sent me a message, asking if doing things this way would offend many magic weavers and that many wizards in the weaving workshops would boycott me…

Locke simply ignored the message.

For a magic weaver, it is indeed a big deal to offend so many colleagues, especially since the field of magic weavers is very small.

However, there is a problem.

I… am not a magic weaver.

Then what are you afraid of?

No matter what kind of magic clothing you want to buy, there will definitely be a magic weaver willing to sell it to you. No one can resist money.

Wizards are very rational beings. They can verbally boycott me because of interests, but when they really have to pay for their own interests, that is another matter.

Moreover, he was also planning to establish a new wizard shoe brand, so he didn’t have to worry about offending anyone, because he would still have to offend people in the future anyway.

Locke saw the schedule for the last day of competition tomorrow. His first match was against Antoine, and his fourth match was against Julian.

Locke frowned.

Judging from the current points, only Antoine and I have never lost a game, but I didn’t expect that the winner would be decided in the first game tomorrow.

At the same time, if Witch Julian wants to beat herself, she needs to not lose a single game tomorrow and win a game against herself tomorrow.

If both teams have the same points, the team that won the fight on that day will be ranked first.

Currently, there are only ten contestants left.

Among them was the wizard from the strange white elephant group.

So, assuming I win all my matches against the other opponents, then tomorrow’s first fight with Antoine will determine the champion!
I hadn’t expected the first match tomorrow morning to be so crucial, deciding the ultimate victor of this seven-day sports competition, the biggest winner in the first-ring competition.

At this moment, Locke heard the collapse of the Cloud Arena. He saw a Cloud Arena shatter into pieces and fall. Finally, only the last two arenas remained:
Arena 1 and Arena 2.

Locke was a little excited, but he was also hesitant. Did he really have the ability to defeat Antoine, who could use more than 20 magic weapons at the same time?

No matter what, tonight is his last chance to strengthen himself. Locke made up his mind and turned around to leave.

At the same time, Locke saw Wizard Shelley coming towards him and was suddenly stunned, because he had met this wizard at the beginning of the sports festival.

At that time, both of them were observing their opponents.

The other party told him that he was a strength master from Elm Garden.

Locke never thought that on the last day of the sports festival, the opponent would still be there and even made it into the top ten of the competition.

Wizard Shelley was also clearly surprised to see Locke. “Hello, congratulations, Wizard Augustine. You’ve achieved such excellent results at the Sports Festival in your first year at Golden Crown Mountain. Unlike me…”

“I also had special growth in this game, which is why I am where I am today.”

Locke nodded. “Congratulations to you, too, for making it into the top ten. Any wizard who makes it into the top ten is definitely not a weakling. I see you and I fighting in the sixth round tomorrow. I’m honored to be able to exchange magic with Wizard Shelley.”

Wizard Shelley smiled with satisfaction. “Locke, you’re so polite. I thought a genius like you would be more difficult to communicate with. I didn’t expect you to be so easy to talk to. I was wrong about that stereotype.”

“For me, you are my opponent in the fifth match.” Wizard Shelley said, “Then see you tomorrow. Locke, I hope you can win the championship, because I like your personality more than Goodnight Towan.”

Locke smiled and didn’t continue the conversation.

The two exchanged a few words and then separated.

The second-ringed demon hunter who was staring at the white elephant group repeatedly scanned and recorded the wizard’s spiritual and magical characteristics with his left demon eye, confirmed his identity, and discovered that the wizard had many bad debts.

From this point of view, this wizard is most likely from the Twin Demon Realm.

The second-ring demon hunter frowned. “In other words, wizards from the Twin Demon Realms have infiltrated a first-ring magic combat tournament. This is different from our previous expectation that they had infiltrated a second-ring magic combat tournament.”

“Then this was just a harassment attack.”

If it is a competition where one sneaks into the second-ring level, then it is different. The damage that a second-ring level wizard who goes deep into the white wizard society can cause is incomparable. It is a kind of destructive act in a factual sense.

Of course, it is very difficult for the Twin Demon Realm to let a second-ring level dark wizard sneak in, even for the Twin Demon Realm.

The Prophet Academy on the Jinmian Mountain side has been trying to locate the locations of all potential targets, but there are also psychics in the Gemini Demon Realm who are trying to hedge the power of prediction.

At the same time, Golden Crown Mountain has locked the nearby space. Generally speaking, no dark wizard can use any special method to suddenly teleport a large number of wizard legions over.

But this experienced demon hunter knew that the Twin Demon Realm was different from ordinary dark wizards.

They are…more powerful, more capable of execution, and more unpredictable.

As the biggest enemy of Jinmian Mountain at present, the Twin Demon Realm, Jinmian Mountain and the Twin Demon Realm have fought countless demon wars.

The second-ringed demon hunter’s eyes were determined. “All dark wizards must be killed. Tomorrow is the last day of the sports festival. If the dark wizards don’t want this to end in vain, they will definitely take action. It’s unlikely that their intention is to send someone here simply to participate in the competition.”

“If that’s the case, then it’s fine. There’s no way their people would ever run into the champion of the Spell Combat Tournament anyway!”

…

Locke returned to his dormitory and entered his simple laboratory. Just as he was about to continue studying his porcelain moon, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

When Locke opened the door, he was stunned because the person who came was the witch Catherine.

Locke quickly made way for the door and immediately offered a seat to Witch Ekaterina.

“Teacher, why are you in my dormitory?”

Witch Ekaterina glanced at Locke’s dormitory with a hint of curiosity. “The decoration style is quite good.”

“I came here to fulfill my duties as a co-mentor, because at this very moment, the Senate has already sent a special wizard to tutor Antoine.”

Locke was not surprised by this result.

This competition is not just a competition, it is also a power struggle within the three major forces of Jinmaan Mountain. It is not just a simple battle between first-ring-level wizards for resources.

The forces behind them all want to ensure that the championship belongs to them to the greatest extent possible on this final night.

The witch Ekaterina said to Locke, “I don’t have any instructions for you. For now, the last thing you might improve tonight is your Peach Arc Thorn Arrow.”

“Your foundation in Peach Arc Thorn Arrow magic is now very solid. You can move on to the next step. While the previous part is known to all wizards outside of Golden Crown Mountain, this part is different.”

Witch Ekaterina said: “You need to completely merge the magical energy of the peach arc part and the thorn arrow part!”

…

In the Senate, Wizard Fisher walked up to Antoine and said, “Grandson, your first battle tomorrow will be against Locke Augustine. On paper, you still have the absolute advantage. It’s just… he’s defeated the White Dragon Princess, possesses immortal dragon scales, and has a close relationship with Witch Ekaterina.”

“Therefore, the Senate will give you special pre-match training to prevent any accidents.”

Antoine didn’t refuse, but said, “Grandpa, I was also planning to ask you to give me special training before the game.”

“Although my strength is enough to ensure absolute victory against those wizards, your teachings are correct. Even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit.”

“Some people also need to be humble, which means to treat others with the worst side and yourself with the best side.”

Antoine sneered. “That’s the ultimate humility. Pride is my camouflage, arrogance is the illusion I cast on others.”

“After all, for people from a family like ours, fame…is not very useful.”

Wizard Fisher nodded with satisfaction. “Grandson, this is what I admire about you.”

“Even if you are humble and respectful to others, as long as you are a genius in my Senate, you will be hostile to those wizards. The true strength of a beast lies not in its claws, but in its seemingly harmless appearance.”

“Your arrogance will make others look down on you. Even if it’s just by a little, they will suffer a great loss at the most critical moment. After suffering a loss, they still haven’t reacted and think that they are just unlucky.”

“Showing excellence is something that only those who need resources should do.” Wizard Fischer said with a smile, “For you, anything you can obtain with your own abilities is definitely within your reach.”

“Then there’s no need to gain a good reputation.”

“Okay, let’s get back to the point.” Wizard Fisher said with his hands behind his back, “So far, you’ve basically defeated all the contestants. The ones you haven’t defeated are just minor characters. Locke Augustine is your final opponent, and the others don’t stand much of a chance of a comeback.”

“Locke Augustine is skilled in the use of botanical magic, and is proficient in using Sea Gold Sand and Peach Arc Thorn Arrow.”

Wizard Fisher said, “I will now teach you a set of magic that can effectively block the magic of his two demonic plants.”

Antoine asked doubtfully, “Grandpa, even if you could devise a method specifically for him, could I learn it in one night?”

Wizard Fisher said, “I simply saw this possibility from your spell pool, selected some, and combined them to suppress Locke Augustine. Your greatest advantage is that you can use multiple sets of magic weapons at the same time.”

“There are more options in tactics.”

“When you fight him, give up choosing the Ten Commandments.”

“Because his flying speed far exceeds yours, there’s little point in fighting him with conventional spells… That’s not the best option. You should use the Wind and Thunder Wheels, and replace the Five Fire Magic Mirror with a Polyhedron Magic Mirror…”

“His fighting style is steady and cautious, but it also relies on rhythm. I want you to disrupt his rhythm and make him lose control.”

As a third-level wizard, Wizard Fisher immediately saw through Locke’s spell style and found its weakness. “So, you need a Void Walking Necklace.”

“The basic magic weapon set is…”

As Wizard Fisher was formulating his battle plan, a complete set of plans was developed based on the fighting style that Locke had previously demonstrated.

Antoine asked, “Grandpa, what if he has a new trump card during the battle?”

Wizard Fischer remained calm. “Just adapt to the situation. However, his fighting style won’t change. My method will still be enough to deal with him.”

“You are both a force user and a combat-oriented alchemist—a material controller. Your advantages are enormous.”

“Tomorrow, the four contestants for the Silent Holy Grail Plane Conquest Tournament will be selected. They are the top wizards from the four academies among the seven top forces in our Yunze Wetland. They are your opponents. Grandson, you are the future pride of our Senate, and you deserve everything you get.”

Wizard Fisher said, “You are a secret weapon cultivated collectively by our Senate. If any individual wizard can defeat you, it would be disrespectful to our Senate.”

“You also carry with you the magical heritage of your teacher, Lord Jamie Wood, the Master of Object Control. No one knows this yet.”

“Let those outsiders only see you using the many magical weapons and believe that you relied on these external things to reach your current state. Believe me, others’ contempt for you will not harm you in any way.”

“A wizard must never allow outsiders to judge his or her worth. Our worth is determined by ourselves. This is what true strength looks like!”

Wizard Fischer said, “No matter what happens tomorrow, you don’t need to worry about it. Your only responsibility is to win the championship. Represent the new generation of our Senate. And the moment you win the championship, our Senate’s proposal to attract investment will be approved within the Wizard Council.”

“An entire commercial street will be built, with infrastructure costs worth over a billion magic stones alone. This massive industry will impact the history of the Golden Crown Mountain Region for at least the next three hundred years.”

Antoine nodded and said, “Developing bloodline science and breeding science will easily collide with other top forces and medium-sized wizard academies in Yunze Wetland. However, the wizard academy in Yunze Wetland doesn’t have many students entering the energy master track.”

“Grandpa, I know.”

“This is the better path for Jinmian Mountain. It’s just that those bloodline wizards and breeders are unwilling to admit this, or are unaware of it. I won’t let Jinmian Mountain encounter the same situation as Kunguding Academy in the Jiuyuan Mountain Wizarding Land.”

As the dominant wizard academy in the Jinmian Mountain region, one of the ten regions of Yunze Wetland, the development direction of Jinmian Mountain does not just affect its own academy.

Because there are too many magical facilities that need to be matched, if such an investment is successful, the development direction of wizards in the entire Golden Crown Mountain region for the next three hundred years will be changed.

Even more so, this may be intentional.

The two generations of wizards from the Fisher family in the Senate smiled at each other and saw evil smiles in each other’s eyes.

That is the layout for the Demonic Hub City.

Once Jinmian Mountain increases its investment in the kinetics industry, the related breeding facilities will be reduced, which will create tremendous pressure on Jinmian Mountain’s traditional enemy, Demonic Hub City, forcing it to make corresponding changes.

This is a move to remove the fuel from the fire.
