Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 641

Chapter 638 The Failed Great Magic

On the 30th underground floor of Group 2 Research Institute, Wizard Zalan Bailey walked into the Sith Wizard’s office.

Wizard Zalan Bailey looked up at the Sith wizard who was like the sky in front of him, with vast magical pressure and terrifying imagery.

“Teacher Sis, I’m back.”

The Sith wizard smiled with immense joy. He stood up and clapped his hands softly. “I know. As soon as you entered the institute, you released your magical pressure. Of course, I know your magical pressure has broken through the shackles of 9999, completing the second transcendence of your race’s soul.”

“Excellent. You did very well, Zaran Bailey.”

“Zalan, there are a lot of new people coming to the institute recently. It’s a pity that everyone is very busy recently, otherwise I could introduce him to you. You two would become good friends.”

Wizard Zalan Bailey smiled slightly and said disapprovingly, “No. Forget it, Mr. Xisi. After becoming a second-ring wizard, I found that many interpersonal relationships have become unnecessary burdens. I look at everything more fundamentally.”

“Those things aren’t what really matter.”

The Sith wizard was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “Indeed. As a second-ring wizard, your perspective is indeed completely different from that of a first-ring wizard. Zalan, I really didn’t expect that you could become a second-ring wizard before leaving the Zhenzhi Academy. This really shocked me.”

“Can you tell me about your success story?”

Wizard Zalan Bailey smiled and said, “During my five years at Golden Crown Mountain, I helped a second-ring wizard conquer a plane during the Dragon Blood Gathering’s plane exploration project. In return, he gave me the opportunity to use the World Stone of that plane.”

“However, the entire conquest work was actually done by the second-ring wizard. I was just helping out.”

The Sith wizard nodded and said, “It does take a lot of manpower to conquer the plane.”

“So the energy cycle is…”

Wizard Zalan Bailey smiled and said, “During my work with Group Two, I learned about the energy-locking structures of many magical plants. This knowledge is extremely helpful in constructing the Greatest Magic. With the help of that Star Ring Wizard, I completed the construction of the Greatest Magic.”

The Sith wizard was quite surprised. “Most researchers who joined my second team didn’t notice this, but I didn’t expect you to notice it.”

“Those researchers focused on the specific drought resistance mechanisms of various magical plants, observing changes in their structures and the changes in the natural magic power components within them. However, they never considered that the true value of our two groups’ research lies in the magical plants’ energy-locking structures.”

The Sith wizard said, “In fact, the nature of this entire world is also a large-scale energy-locking structure. Plant communities lock energy sources from all over the world, such as sunlight, into the ecological chain, so that all things can obtain this energy.”

“Researching the energy-locking structure will be of great help in creating better extreme magic.”

Wizard Zaran Bailey nodded proudly. “So these Sith teachers knew everything.”

The Sith wizard smiled and said, “There are some things I do know. It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but it’s useless even if I tell you. For wizards who don’t understand, it’s the same as not saying anything. For wizards who can understand, telling them will only mislead them.”

“So it’s better not to say anything.”

“Zarran Bailey, please tell me about your great magic. As your direct supervisor, I am proud of your achievements.”

The Sith wizard said, “I’ve been so busy lately that I didn’t even notice you’ve achieved such great things. I assume you’ve already reported to various departments of the academy. Has anyone contacted you recently?”

Wizard Zalan Bailey spread out his right hand, and a sea buckthorn emerged from it. “My greatest magic is sea buckthorn ecology.”

A continuous field of sea buckthorn soon appeared behind a sea buckthorn plant, and beneath it was a desolate Gobi desert.

“I noticed that the energy-locking structure of plants can be applied to ecology, so I optimized the ecological energy-locking structure of a medium-sized desert Gobi.”

The Sith wizard had a pleased smile on his face and nodded repeatedly.

Wizard Zalan Bailey, even more proud, explained his immense magic. “I’ve discovered that the more homogenized an ecosystem is, the stronger its energy-locking structure becomes, retaining more external energy within it. Therefore, my seabuckthorn ecosystem excludes all other plants, leaving only seabuckthorn.”

“In this way, it can be simple and efficient.”

The smile on the Sith wizard’s face faded a little, and his eyes looked complicated.

Wizard Zalan Bailey continued, “I was lucky. The Star Ring Wizard was pleased with my work and gave me a Sun Diamond. I then used the Sun Diamond’s brilliance to take a shortcut and utilize its special abilities to strengthen my ecosystem.”

“My Flame Seabuckthorn can absorb the heat energy from the Sun Diamond buried underground and transform that world, directly halting desertification.”

“The birth of the sea buckthorn community has improved local precipitation and soil, turning sand into soil.”

The Sith wizard’s smile faded even further. “Well… using this external energy source can indeed accelerate the formation of an ecosystem.”

“but……”

Wizard Zalan Bailey proudly said, “At the same time, I referred to the energy structure of our thirty-story underground research institute and unexpectedly realized that it was an energy-locking structure. I followed the instructions step by step, copying them bit by bit, making my sea buckthorn community correspond to the external structure of the thirty-story underground research institute one by one, completing the final ecological energy lock. Finally, I completed my ultimate magic – sea buckthorn ecology.”

“And gained recognition from that world’s consciousness, and obtained permission to use the World Stone.”

At this point, the smile on the Sith wizard’s face had completely disappeared.

He looked at Wizard Zalan Bailey with a complex and meaningful look.

Wizard Zalan Bailey, unaware of the strange look in the other wizard’s eyes, thanked the Sith wizard instead. “Thank you, Mr. Sith. I never imagined that the research in Group 2 would actually involve studying how to construct the ultimate magic.”

“My seabuckthorn ecosystem prevented the environmental degradation of that world, so the world’s will rewarded me with a World Stone. It turns out that conquering the world isn’t enough to earn the World Stone’s recognition.”

“Similarly, my seabuckthorn ecosystem has a thirty-story underground structure and possesses the geothermal brilliance of the Sun Diamond. Therefore, my maximal magic possesses a very powerful energy-locking structure that can store a large amount of energy. It can raise the temperature to an extremely high level in a short period of time, releasing the geothermal energy all at once.”

The sea buckthorn cluster in the palm of his right hand turned into a cluster of flames, like a large jungle of fire.

The Sith wizard’s face was no longer filled with joy. He sighed imperceptibly and said to him, “Zalan Bailey… Well, it’s not easy for you to become a second-ring wizard.”

“It’s something to be proud of. In the Endless Void, countless creatures have spent their entire lives pursuing the second transcendence, yet have never been able to achieve it. Those who have achieved the second transcendence have been dubbed gods and demons in the Endless Void and in many planes.”

“It is a truly powerful existence.”

“Many people also call us demon gods. The second-ring wizards conquer the void and their reputation spreads far and wide.”

A smug look crossed Wizard Zalan Bailey’s face. “Teacher Xisi, now that I’m back and have won our bet, shouldn’t you, as agreed, allocate some of your resources to me?”

“I heard that a researcher from the Institute of Advanced Knowledge recently joined Group 2. You’re a man of your word, right?”

The Sith wizard frowned and gave him an awkward look. “Of course. I mean what I say. But our team’s resources are currently limited…”

The Sith wizard frowned. “But since you’re a second-ring wizard, you’ll definitely be given priority. Not to mention, we already have a wager.”

“Don’t worry about that.”

Wizard Zalan Bailey left with satisfaction.

After he left, the Sith wizard looked in the direction he had left and shook his head slightly. “It seems the patrol deacons didn’t invite him to join.”

“Although he accomplished a great magic, he only barely did it. He took too many shortcuts, relying on external objects, parasitism rather than symbiosis, and reducing the difficulty of energy accumulation.”

“Imitating form rather than understanding its essence reduces the difficulty of structural design. It also disregards redundant design and pursues the efficiency of simplicity.”

“Alas, even though it’s all great magic, there are still differences in quality.”

For the same level of extreme magic, the efficiency of converting the magic pressure on the wizard into damage will be different due to the quality of the design of each spell model.

Therefore, even if they are both extremely powerful magics, there will still be differences in quality.

When the Sith wizard heard what the wizard Zalan Bailey said, he knew that he had completely misunderstood the work of Group 2 and had even misunderstood the significance of the energy-locking structure to ecology.

Becoming an ordinary second-ring wizard is probably the highlight of his life.

In the future, he can at most become a star ring wizard by enduring time.

Although the Sith wizard can see through these things, there is no need to reveal them.

After all, even he couldn’t be sure whether this wizard would be able to make a comeback in the future.

The Sith wizard shook his head slightly. “Zalan Bailey’s talent is still a little lacking. Although he successfully constructed a great magic with the conditions of our Yunze Wetlands, that great magic is neither fish nor fowl.”

“He’s too impatient. If I’d rather spend another ten years, I wouldn’t have been so hasty to construct such a crap thing. Unless I start from scratch, this kind of thing will only hinder my progress. But great magic is a wizard’s second soul, it can’t be easily changed. I can only make modifications based on the original foundation.”

“If you move too much, you could easily kill yourself.”

“He’s too impatient.”

The Sith wizard shook his head. “Forget it. I don’t think I should ask for too much. He’s already very good at becoming a second-ring wizard. Why should I have higher expectations?”

“My second team has an extra second-ring wizard, which is the most important thing.”

“It’s just that Zalan Bailey seems to have a lot of hostility towards Locke, which is troublesome.”

…

Locke went to Ekaterina the Witch to invite Charlie Holmes, and took Charlie to where Warwick lived in the Dragon Blood Market.

In a guest room of the Dragon Blood Market Castle, Warwick the Wizard was so angry when he saw Locke coming that he almost jumped up and down. “You are finally here, kid.”

“I’ve been waiting for you for almost two months.”

Locke smiled slightly and changed the subject. “How is the Dragon Blood Market in our Golden Crown Mountain?”

Warwick coughed, his expression odd. “Well, your market has quite a wide range of things. And there are quite a few places offering free libraries. I’ve read quite a few books lately, and I’ve gained quite a bit of experience.”

“Perhaps settling down in a place like this, finding some of your free benefits, and reading two months of free books would be of some help to me.”

“I should have done this a long time ago.”

It’s actually a great help.

On his eighth day here, Warwick discovered that there were many free benefits in the Dragon Blood Market Castle. For example, some shops would give out samples of potions and magical agricultural products, and various alchemy workshops would hold events in front of them, offering free trials of magic weapons or free repairs…

As a dark wizard, Warwick quickly learned how to take advantage of these stores’ free activities without spending any money.

Therefore, in these two months, not only did he not waste time, but he also made some progress.

This is also one of the reasons why he can wait here all the time.

Locke looked at Charlie Holmes and said, “This is my senior, Witch Charlie. She is also a divine teacher and an archaeologist. She will be working with us this time.”

Warwick glanced at Witch Charlie in surprise. “A Holy Master…”

“A Holy Master wants to go into the Dark Wizard Land with us? I’ve never seen anything like this before. I don’t have any problem with that.”

Witch Charlie looked at Warwick coldly, as if she was looking at a dead object, with disgust in her eyes.

Warwick asked Locke, “Locke, can we go now?”

Locke said, “Of course.”

“I’m ready. Shirley-senpai, how about you?”

When Witch Charlie heard Locke’s voice, her expression relaxed slightly. “I can leave anytime.”

Locke asked Warwick, “Our destination is the wizarding land of [Jade Flower Enclave]. Are we going there by wizard airship?”

Warwick nodded and said, “Of course, let’s go buy the boat tickets now.”

“Hopefully, we can reach the Qionghua Enclave within two months.”

Locke said, “There’s a webpath in Yunze Wetland that leads directly to the Qionghua Enclave. It’ll take about a month to get there.”

The three of them went to the wizard airship docking station on Golden Crown Mountain.

Warwick invited Locke, so he paid for the boat ticket, and Witch Charlotte bought a boat ticket worth 10,000 magic stones according to the previous agreement.

The three of them boarded the wizard’s airship and headed towards their destination, the Qionghua Flying Land.
