Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 633

Chapter 630: Two Hundred Fagus sylvatica Trees and Correspondence

In the Golden Crown Mountain, in the Institute of True Knowledge, six days later, with the help of Mason Witch’s friends from the Elf Tribe, Locke finally moved the entire forest sanctuary in the Druid’s Ring into the lens of his Cosmic Light contact lens within a week.

There was a barely perceptible magical light flashing in his right eye, and the next moment, he saw the forest sanctuary in the center of the demiplane in this subspace zone. At this time, the forest of this thousand acres of land was lush and green. As he moved into a larger demiplane, the edge of the forest naturally began to spread.

The seeds of some plants fell on the edge of the forest and began to expand slowly.

But Locke noticed that because there were no animals and insects in the forest, the ecology was never complete and it could only be considered an artificial forest.

However, the forest sanctuary is related to their own lifeline after all, so foreign creatures cannot be allowed to enter easily.

At that time, the Queen of the Forest Elves led the group of elves to salute Locke. The Queen of the Elf looked in awe at the powerful wizard in front of her, whose body was filled with terrible natural magic.

In her more than 500 years of life, she had rarely seen a wizard who could integrate so deeply with nature.

The Queen said to Locke, “Mighty Wizard, your forest has been transplanted. It is a pleasure to do this work, not only to help my friend, the kind witch Mason.”

“So, we don’t need any compensation.”

Locke frowned slightly, “No, I’m still prepared to pay 30,000 magic stones.”

After all, the reason why they were able to move so quickly this time was because this elven tribe had produced about a hundred elven wizards who were equivalent to first-class wizard apprentices.

This is actually a disguised wizard academy, but the only members who can join are the descendants of the elves of this tribe itself, or the descendants of other wandering elves.

They are basically botany and breeding wizards, and a few are even potion wizards.

But except for the Elf Queen and three Elf elders who are first-ring wizards, the other elves are at most first-class wizard apprentices.

In the southeast corner, this is already a very powerful force, and it can even call itself the Elf Kingdom.

There are indeed several elven kingdoms in the Forbidden Forest.

But in Yunze Wetland, this is just a very small and somewhat special wizard organization.

In the entire Silvermoon Tribe, there is only one teaching position of Chief Mage recognized by the White Wizard Association, and this position is held by the Queen.

At this time, the Elf Queen’s relationship with Mason and others was actually considered above her level, so of course she was willing to help.

But the Elf Queen didn’t expect that Locke was still prepared to pay the money.

Both Witch Mason and the Elf Queen were a little surprised.

Witch Mason said, “Team Leader, we have such a deep friendship, yet we still divide things so clearly. I can’t let you spend these 30,000 magic stones.”

Locke waved his hand, “Let’s put it this way.”

Owing favors is the most troublesome thing. Besides, the market price of hiring a first-class wizard apprentice for one month is one thousand magic stones.

I hired these elves for about a week, so I had to pay two hundred to three hundred magic stones.

One hundred first-class wizard apprentices, plus three ordinary formal wizards, according to the market price, it would be about 30,000 magic stones a week, and the price would be slightly higher.

Of course, this is still beneficial to Locke.

Because, first of all, the forest sanctuary is very important, and the participants cannot be too numerous or too mixed, and this tribe is clean and simple in composition, and they are close friends of the Mason witch.

Secondly, although the market price for hiring apprentices and wizards is roughly the same, it does not actually take into account the market premium and the price of the elves as breeders. If this price is taken into account, 30,000 magic stones will not be enough to hire so many people for a week.

This price is probably a friendship price between friends.

It not only saves the face of Mason Witch and the Elf Queen, but also ensures that the money and goods are always cleared, so that things will not become too complicated.

Locke directly gave the Elf Queen three magic crystal cards.

The Elf Queen was stunned for a moment, looked at Mason the Witch, and hesitated whether to accept it. Logically speaking, Mason the Witch had helped their tribe so much in Golden Crown Mountain for more than four years, and she really shouldn’t accept money from his friend.

Mason Witch said to the Fairy Queen, “Just take it, Sabrina. My team leader is very rich.”

“Such a small amount of money is not in his eyes. Even in the Golden Crown Mountain, he is probably one of the richest first-ring wizards.”

Elf Queen Sabrina looked at Locke in surprise, then saluted him again. “Thank you, Your Excellency.”

As an elven tribe near the Golden Crown Mountain, Queen Sabrina knew that in order to protect the tribe, she needed to establish good relations with the people of the Golden Crown Mountain.

Queen Sabrina had finally established a relationship with Witch Mason, and now, seeing a wizard who owned such a forest, she was naturally filled with admiration, even considering joining him. “Lord Augustine, if you need anything in the future, you can contact us.”

“We, the entire elven tribe, promise not to reveal any information to the outside world.”

“I’ve never seen such a powerful forest. Even among the forests in the Golden Crown Mountain region, this one is considered extremely powerful.”

Queen Sabrina looked at Locke and said, “If you are so generous as to require it, we can even move the entire tribe in.”

“Elves live in harmony with nature. We are natural gardeners.”

Locke thought about it for a moment, but decisively refused. “No thanks, Queen Sabrina. I know I’ll continue to contact you through Mason Witch if I have the chance in the future.”

Although the other party’s suggestion was good, it was too dangerous to allow other wizards to enter his own forest.

Even if he was a formal wizard, his research ability was enough to understand and be able to set up something in his own forest sanctuary after long-term contact.

Therefore, Locke only considered it for a moment and immediately rejected the suggestion.

“Teacher’s Beast Tide Ecosystem is a good reference point. However, it reflects Teacher’s personal will. Millions of creatures compete with each other just to fight for a peach, and she, as the peach giver, is high above, controlling the entire ecosystem.” Locke pondered: “This feeling doesn’t suit me.”

“Besides, there are so many magical creatures, and controlling them all with just these peaches is probably easy for the teacher. She is a master of political tactics, but I don’t enjoy the process of political tactics.”

Locke said alertly.

After all, people are different.

Catherine’s daily interest is to think about human nature. Controlling other people’s lives and manipulating power gives her a break.

But for me, doing these things will distract some of my attention.

Similarly, exploring the unknown and learning past knowledge are a form of rest and interest for oneself.

Therefore, it is best to tailor your own magic to yourself.

Otherwise, pursuing things that you are not interested in will only make you achieve half the result with twice the effort and make you unpopular with everyone.

It’s obviously very tiring, but when you look at the output, it’s not as good as those who work easily.

Queen Sabrina heard Locke’s refusal with regret. “Very well, Lord Augustine, if you need us again, feel free to use us.”

At that moment, the elven tribe followed the queen out of this demiplane and said goodbye.

Locke spoke a few words to Mason and the other two witches, then returned to the study in the dormitory.

Because he didn’t expect that the Sun Ring Wizard Lana Witch from the Rose Council would actually write back to him.

Locke sat at the desk, holding a piece of letter paper in his hand. The entire piece of letter paper had a gold edge and snow-white paper in the middle.

This is the golden lover’s stationery made by the Rose Council using brilliant roses as part of the raw materials. It is very famous, and its biggest function… is that it looks good and smells good.

Apart from this, the other effects are not significant.

But it is very expensive and only high-level wizards in the Rose Council can afford it.

The Sun Ring Wizard can barely be considered a middle or high-level wizard in Yunze Wetland. He is not an ordinary wizard, so he can naturally afford this extravagant [Golden Lover’s Letter Paper].

Locke read the contents of the envelope and saw the thirty-one articles that came with the letter.

He chuckled. “I didn’t expect this Witch Lana to be so generous. Not only did she give me the information, she also answered all my questions in the letter.”

“It seems that I had many misunderstandings about the wizards of the Rose Council before.”

“The wizards of the Rose Council are not as stingy as I thought.”

“This Lana witch seems to be tolerant and generous.”

In her reply letter to Locke, Witch Lana played the role of a master of flower language. She was naturally noble and dignified, and spoke in the tone of a teacher, which was almost like a stern instruction.

Therefore, Locke was completely unaware of the fickle personality hidden behind this, which was tormenting ordinary researchers of the Rose Council’s Academy of True Knowledge to death.

After reading the other party’s explanation, Locke began to read the more than 30 articles sent by the other party.

Because they were all articles, not magic books, he read them very quickly and finished them all in just one afternoon.

After reading it, Locke felt refreshed. He felt that many things that he had been confused about before were now clear to him.

“So that’s how it is. Different forest ecosystems are connected by ecological corridors. Forests, streams, and rivers all have specific ecological corridors that provide opportunities for the migration of animals and plants…”

“Ecological corridors can be made up of a few plants.”

“They suggested I plant a rose ecological corridor. It’s beautiful and can provide a platform for flora and fauna to interact, allowing the forests to connect… Indeed, the concept of this rose ecological corridor can inspire my forest alliance spell.”

Locke discovered that the other party did not send the spell model over.

However, he shook his head slightly and felt that he was too greedy.

It’s good enough if the other party can answer your questions.

I am not her student, and I didn’t spend any money. At most, I just exchanged ideas. How could she possibly send me a copy of the spell model she had researched for many years?

Just from the other person’s thoughts, I can already gain a lot.

Locke looked at the information and thought about some new questions.

He thought for a moment. He had already shamelessly asked so many times, so why not continue asking?
The other party hadn’t refused.

Why not just discuss it with him? Wouldn’t it be more helpful to me to gain the wisdom of a solar ring wizard?

Locke ordered his servants to send the letters.

In the Rose Council, Witch Lana was in the office of the Institute of True Knowledge. Witch Lana looked at the other party’s letters. After reading them, she suddenly smiled.

“This kid is seriously considering the ecological corridor magic I proposed. Unfortunately, his thinking is a bit off. He actually thinks that we can use the connections between different ancient trees to form an ecological corridor without any material basis. This kid’s idea is really outlandish.”

Witch Lana looked up at Wizard Fleming, who had come to her office the next day and asked for her help in revising the project’s final report. “What do you think, Fleming?”

Wizard Fleming was stunned for a moment. He lowered his head and began to think carefully in panic. Then he looked up and said tentatively to Witch Lana, “Teacher, perhaps his idea is unique and the result of his own thinking? It’s worth encouraging, even if it’s a little naive.”

This was his subconscious reaction after he agreed with Witch Lana last time and was scolded instead.

He looked at Witch Lana expectantly.

Who knew that Witch Lana’s face would suddenly fall. She looked at Fleming angrily and asked, “Are you the Second Ring Sun Ring Wizard, or am I the Sun Ring Wizard?”

“How dare you say such a childish line of thought is the result of independent thinking!”

“Fleming, what are you thinking about! You are my student? I can find a proper wizard out there, and he’s better than you!”

Wizard Fleming looked desperate. He was actually being scolded again!
Moreover, hearing Witch Lana say this time, Wizard Fleming’s self-esteem was really hurt.

He felt that some wizards walking around in the office were joking with him, although when he raised his head, none of the wizards looked at him.

Witch Lana wrote in her reply: “Dear Locke, the ecological corridor must have a material foundation to be established, otherwise the two forests cannot form an exchange of animals and plants.”

“However, the concept of the Overlord Beech Forest you mentioned earlier is a good one. The Beech Tree itself is a pillar of strength, and if it is Overlordized, it will become even sharper. I think adding such a forest to the forest will be of great help to you…”

…

In the Jinmian Mountain Zhenzhi Academy, Locke saw the reply from Witch Lana and smiled knowingly.

“It really denies my first hypothesis. But it confirms my second hypothesis.”

“This Sun Ring Wizard from the Rose Council is really easy to talk to.”

Locke left the Shinchiin Castle, returned to the dormitory, and blinked into his own demiplane.

At this time, there were thirty beech trees in his demiplane that had completed the transformation into a dominant one.

A total of sixty plants were purchased before, and half of them have been scrapped.

But the remaining thirty strains have completed the transformation using Overlord 2.

The water beech has lost its ability to reproduce and take cuttings, but its body is covered with overlord patterns, and its body size is more than two times larger than the normal water beech.

Thirty sturdy beech trees form a woodland on the edge of a forest sanctuary.

Locke has produced a qualified cell combination of Fagus sylvatica and injected it into his own white birch tree, turning it into the third type of cell combination that can be stably obtained.

Next, he can go to the store to buy more Fagus sylvatica according to his own ideas, and then carry out the dominant transformation himself, and then obtain at least three hundred Fagus sylvatica trees.

Create a forest of king pine trees as part of the forest.

In this way, half of the forest will be normal magic plants, and the other half can be overlord magic plants.

With these three hundred Fagus sylvatica trees as the foundation, and constantly expanding the domineering apprentice magic plants to enter, the forest can maintain a part of the domineering magic plants.

According to his own calculations, this can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of his forest sanctuary. Although the overlord magic plant has lost its ability to reproduce, it still possesses powerful combat effectiveness and a powerful overlord domain.

This can greatly enhance the aggressiveness and resistance of the ancient forest.

It is of great benefit to stabilizing the spirituality of one’s own forest sanctuary.

Moreover, the overlord demon plant is more obedient to him, which can ensure his control over the forest, and he will not be suppressed by it in turn, and degenerate himself to the position of a relatively important “tree” in the forest, and no longer be the master of this forest.

Locke looked at the beech trees in front of him. The originally lush green trees had become overlords, but after becoming overlords, the bark and leaves were covered with black overlord patterns.

The whole structure is very thick, like a huge water tower.

The dark blue bark is covered with black scaly lines, and light blue fluorescent juice flows inside. Because of its dominance, its appearance has become thick, so it is like a lighthouse glowing faintly in the night.

The leaves are translucent green pinnate.

The beech trees on the water ash hills are originally pillar materials, and now after being overpowered, they become even stronger.

The thirty trees are like thirty blue water towers, extremely stable and domineering.

Locke realized that this was the formation of a dominant domain that was evolving towards life magic.

“This way, the Beech Forest in the Watergreen Hills will cause all the magical plants to evolve towards Life Magic. Even if I intervene, the magical plants there will still evolve in that direction.” Locke pondered, “But there’s nothing wrong with this. Because all plants are on the side of Life Magic, they basically have some touch of it. In other words, this Overlord Domain is invalidated.”

Locke had already anticipated this.

For the Forest Sanctuary, the Overlord Domain is simply a burden. One Overlord Domain can affect a large surrounding area and cause convergent evolution of plants and animals.

This is an evolutionary dead end.

Therefore, if he wanted to plant the Overlord Demon Plant in the Forest Sanctuary, he would need to solve this problem.

The idea given by Locke is to create a hegemonic field in the direction of life magic.

All animals and plants have some life magic attributes, so naturally for animals and plants, this hegemonic domain does not exist.

As for if the undead enter his forest…

The undead would be suppressed when they entered the powerful ancient forest, and now the suppression is only becoming more severe.

Locke didn’t care.

At this time, Locke once again hired the elf tribe through Mason Witch to help him with the work.

At the same time, he went to the Golden Peach Garden again, spent 1.5 million magic stones, bought 300 water beech trees, and moved them into his own demiplane.

Meanwhile, Locke allowed the wizard Warwick to enter the Golden Crown Mountain and stay there for another two weeks, until he became almost impatient with the wait.

But Locke wanted to digest his gains and improve his condition to the best before going to explore the abyss.

Otherwise, rashly exploring the abyss ruins is neither safe nor beneficial for one’s maximum gain.

Anyway, the troubles should be left to others, and the benefits should be kept for yourself.

Warwick felt anxious, but that was his business; as long as he didn’t ask to set out immediately, it meant he could wait.

In the Dragon’s Blood Market, Warwick the Wizard muttered to his half-dragon maid, Ginny, “When exactly did your master leave? I’ve been living here for two weeks! In your White Wizards’ base! I’m really afraid I’ll be discovered and arrested.”

Ginny looked at him with complicated eyes. After all, Locke had told him long ago that his coming in this time had been secretly approved by the witch Catherine, and asked her not to report it.

But in the eyes of this dark wizard, it seemed that he… had sneaked in on his own.

Ginny gave a polite smile, “Sir, please wait a moment.”

“My young master said that he has a very important experiment recently, so you need to wait for a while.”

Warwick, unwilling to give up, began to exaggerate, urging, “Time waits for no one. My friend has probably been waiting at the Jade Blossom Enclave for over two weeks. If this continues, he might not be willing to join our operation. Ask him if he can leave this afternoon!”

“I’ve been waiting for two weeks.”

When maid Ginny heard her say this, the half-dragon’s face showed surprise. “Ah, is that so? That’s quite urgent. But the master told me to tell you that if you really can’t wait, you can go ahead and do it yourself.”

As soon as these words came out, Wizard Warwick immediately lost his temper and said with a pout, “Then I can still wait for your master. I’ll just have to urge him.”

“I didn’t realize he was so procrastinating before. Ever since he came to your Yunze Wetland, he’s been getting more and more procrastinating.”

Ginny smiled. “Lord Warwick, you’re joking.”

Ginny took the Cloud Whale back to Locke’s dormitory and entered a dimensional door that Locke had left in the living room of his dormitory.

At this time, Locke was watching. He used a large amount of moss marrow, and together with the Elf Queen, the Elf Elders, and a hundred first-class wizard apprentice-level Elf wizards, he was quickly planting a batch of 170 Overlord Water Beech trees.

There will be a loss rate in the process of hegemony, especially the combination of Fagus sylvatica and Hegemonin No. 2 is not very good, and Locke did not use the Queen’s chessboard to make a perfect cell combination.

Therefore, of the 250 beech trees purchased previously, only 170 survived and became overpowered.

At this time, Locke planted two hundred dominant water beech trees that looked like dark blue water towers together, turning them into a forest.

At the same time, his own distributed psychic network and ancient trees of life began to radiate over and incorporate them into his own forest.

Locke gritted his teeth, feeling a surge of mental pressure. Even though his own energy pool had already reached the first ring crystallization stage, it could no longer accommodate 504 first ring magic plants.

What’s more, they were the unruly and overbearing Fagus sylvatica!
Therefore, his attempt to incorporate them into the distributed psychic network had failed.

Fortunately, his own forest sanctuary has been completed and has a strong centripetal force. Therefore, relying solely on the forest composed of his original 304 first-ring magic plants, tens of thousands of apprentice magic plants and countless ordinary plants, he can still suppress the 200 overlord magic plants.

Moreover, the ancient tree of life, which had already reached the first ring crystallization stage and had a magic pressure of 9999, directly used its status as the king of all trees to forcibly suppress two hundred overlord water beech trees.

This allowed them to be successfully incorporated into Locke’s forest sanctuary.

But this means that Locke’s control over the Forest Sanctuary is further reduced.

“This is inevitable,” Locke said to himself. “Just like a company in its early stages, when its scale is extremely small, it can naturally be completely controlled by the founder.”

“But as the company grows, the founders’ stake gets diluted.”

“But this is good for me. What’s the point of having a ‘small company’ that I can completely control? By the same token, my forest is progressing towards an extremely old forest, which is in my interest. But at the same time, an overly powerful forest has already diluted my power at the level of magical pressure and psychic energy.”

“If I hadn’t had the Ancient Tree of Life, the King of Ten Thousand Trees, to suppress it, I’m afraid the situation would have been even worse.”

“I’m likely to be completely alienated into just another important tree in this forest, rather than the master of the forest,” Locke pondered. “My forest sanctuary has now shifted from relying on my distributed psychic network to relying on the network of relationships between the trees in the forest.”

“That is, it depends on the normal order of the forests.”

“To solve this problem, I need to become a second-ring wizard, increase my magic pressure again, and after increasing my magic pressure, increase my psychic energy pool.”

The former is easy to say, because I must become a second-ring wizard, which is exactly my goal.

But psychic power and dragon power are both magic of the school of psychology. Even if I become a second-ring wizard of botany, I will not become a second-ring wizard of psychology.

My own great magic is based on botany!
Therefore, whether I can raise my psychic energy pool to the second ring level in the future is a question.

Or find a way to completely get rid of psychic power.

Anyway, at this point, I can only continue to move forward while studying the Forest Sanctuary.

Locke thanked the Elf Queen, “Thank you, Queen. With the help of your tribe, I was able to upgrade my Forest Sanctuary within half a month.”

At this moment, the Elf Queen was already amazed at Locke’s exquisite breeding technology. That kind of domineering technology really opened her eyes.

The queen saluted Locke and said, “No, it’s a great honor for our tribe to serve Wizard Augustine. We really don’t want any salary this time. It’s mainly because we are honored to be able to work with you on this grand project.”

“It’s hard to describe the excitement in our hearts.”

Locke nodded slightly.
