Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 647

Chapter 644: The King’s Weapon! And the Mysterious Iron Ball!

“Bang~”

The Dragon Book transformed into a fire-breathing dragon made of paper, falling to the ground from the sky like a fireball.

At the most critical moment, Warwick used [Summon Demon] to fully develop all the historical materials in his own Book of the Sovereign and summoned a Paper Demon.

At the same time, the Paper Demon used the Demon Curse on the ground, transforming the ground into a soft black cotton ground, which protected the four people from getting hurt during the rapid descent.

As the Paper Demon disappeared, the ground returned to its original state.

Warwick carefully checked the ground to make sure that there was no damage to the city’s ground because of Locke’s sudden descent.

Warwick said, “This city is so valuable and can hold many great discoveries. We cannot allow any damage to occur.”

“Even if the time comes, the four of us can continue to develop this city. Even if we set up a small society for this purpose, it would definitely not be too much.”

Warwick said, “We must do our best to protect this city from any impact. Of course, if we really encounter danger, we won’t be able to do anything about it.”

Locke looked at where they fell and saw that it was in front of a huge statue.

The statue was also made of M-shaped magic granite. It was a statue of a woman and looked very lifelike.

Dressed in the finery of the Star Age.

There are three magical pet dogs in front of him, each dog is tied with a magic rope. These ropes are not statues, but some real substances sealed with magic.

At the same time, a prototype of a textile machine and a prototype of a steam engine are placed next to the princess statue. At the feet of the statue, there are also some strange and ingenious things.

However, as time passed, the magic on it faded away with the passage of time, and the tool itself had decayed and turned into tatters.

Witch Charlotte observed the three ropes and said, “These ropes… seem to be some kind of rubber bands. Were there such high-strength artificial polymers in the Star Age?”

Warwick said, “Also, here are prototypes of steam engines and textile machines. It’s inscribed on them—Dedicated to the Princess who developed these things.”

“If that’s the case, this loom princess should be one of the sources of the historical fragments about the rampant steam engines.”

He rubbed his hands together. “This is a great discovery.”

“It was a worthwhile trip.”

Locke saw the statue of the Weaving Princess. She had a beautiful face but a vacant look in her eyes. The wizard who carved it had captured the princess’s sorrowful expression vividly.

At this moment, the princess seemed to be gazing into the distance, waiting for someone who would never come back.

The princess waited patiently, but the man could no longer come back.

The princess looked sad, and her eyes accused fate of being cruel.

Locke saw a sentence carved at the foot of the princess’s statue: ‘People of later generations should express your respect to the princess who created a great era. This is the respect for those who pursue the path of truth.’

‘Please bow once to the princess as a token of your respect.’

Witch Charlotte also followed Locke’s gaze and saw the words above, “This mausoleum has tried to kill us several times, and it has the nerve to ask us to show respect to the princess.”

Locke sighed. “It’s just a precaution against tomb robbers. But, in that case, a bow won’t hurt.”

“It is a sincere tribute to those who walk on the path of seeking truth. The dead are the greatest.”

Locke bowed once to the statue.

Witch Charlie thought about it and followed Locke in bowing to the statue, and Wizard Warwick followed suit.

Only Wizard McKinley sneered and did not make any move.

When Locke looked up, he saw three lines of words carved on the inside of the princess statue’s skirt.

If you don’t bow, it might be difficult to notice it at the first time.

This angle is too tricky.

I’m afraid we can only discover it when we conduct a careful investigation in the future.

The first line of the poem is: ‘He is gone, and he will never come back. My heart dies with his departure.’

The second line of words reads: “He believes everything in this era is too simple for him. He believes he is the protagonist of this world, so he manipulates everything. I act with him. Our long-term success has made us truly believe we are gods. But for the first time, we have encountered a true crisis: the Tower of the Black Sun, hidden behind the Age of Stars…”

Locke’s pupils suddenly shrank.

Because he had heard of the Tower of Black Sun.

Only heard it once.

When he was still a mortal, he was on the continent of Corfu and heard Count Augustine tell him that his mother was hunted by the Tower of Black Sun and had hurriedly fled to the continent of Corfu and married him.

The couple gave birth to three sons.

My eldest brother, myself and my younger sister.

“Tower of the Black Sun…” Locke muttered to himself, “I never thought that such a name would appear in an ancient tomb from the Age of Stars.”

“Could it be that the Tower of the Black Sun isn’t a force in the modern era of magic at all?”

“But if that’s the case, then why did the mother of this body of mine say that she was being hunted by the Black Sun Tower?”

“What on earth does she want!”

Locke looked at the third line of words, which was a warning.

“To those of the future who pay their respects to me, consider this as a token of your gratitude and mercy. Do not touch any of the offerings beneath this statue; they are a trap that summons death.”

Locke was suddenly startled, but at this moment Wizard McKinley had already walked to the front of the statue, put on a pair of gloves, and touched the mechanical tribute in front of the statue.

Wizard McKinley’s eyes flickered with interest. “Look at this crossbow bolt inlaid with a magical gem. It’s made with a special rubber band. I bet the magic of some later alchemical schools was definitely influenced by it.”

“This…ah…”

The moment his palm touched the crossbow arrow, his entire right hand was bitten by some red insects from the point of contact. His entire right hand turned into white bones in an instant and moved towards his body.

Warwick was startled. “It’s the magic of the Insect Curse School!”

“The Insect Curse School possesses life-originated magic that can bypass the Eternal Defense Field! The moment the wizard makes contact, an Insect Curse based on physical contact is unleashed upon the wizard. The Insect Curse is like the wizard’s own limbs, thus ignoring the Eternal Defense Field! Such a high-level trap is surprisingly found in this ancient tomb!”

The next moment, Wizard McKinley, holding a wizard sword in his left hand, cut off his right arm, thus stopping the spread of the insect curse.

Fortunately, he acted decisively, otherwise his entire body would have been completely corroded.

However, countless insects with elytra suddenly emerged from his broken arm and flew directly towards Wizard McKinley’s face.

In an instant, Wizard McKinley’s face changed drastically.

But the next moment, countless insects crashed into the wall composed of the emerald green life force field.

These bugs simply share the same life origin as Wizard McKinley, so they are recognized as his own limbs by his permanent defense field, and can therefore ignore his permanent defense field.

But it cannot penetrate Locke’s permanent defensive force field.

At this moment, these insects collided with the life force field, just like a car running at full speed hitting a wall. They immediately had their heads broken and bleeding, and died one by one.

Wizard McKinley was still gasping for breath. “Thank you… Wizard Augustine.”

Warwick said, “Don’t let your guard down. Damn you, McKinley, you bastard.”

“The trap has been activated…”

At this moment, the ground beneath their feet was shaking like concave plasticine, and pieces of granite bricks were falling down.

They saw a bottomless abyss under their feet.

Dark.

But at this moment, there is a no-fly magic circle of the protection school here.

Moreover, all the streets centered on the statue collapsed in an instant.

So, the four of them could only fall down.

Warwick said, “McKinley, you damn troublemaker.”

Wizard McKinley’s face turned pale. “How could I have known there was such a high-level insect spell here?”

“How could there be a trap with lethal moves at every step? I’m already wearing specially treated magic gloves. The design level of this city is far superior to that of the ancient tombs of the same era!”

Locke said: “The flora beneath various places…”

At this moment, the area below was filled with various ancient first-ring level Piranha plants, and even a few second-ring level Piranha plants. These Piranha plants were primitive and numerous, some of which were completely extinct in modern times.

With just one glance, Locke saw the giant Venus pitcher plant, the exploding seed sandbox tree, the melt-throat big-mouthed carnivorous plant, and other ancient and powerful carnivorous plant-like magical plants.

Moreover, at this moment, a large amount of abyss energy appeared behind these primitive man-eating plants, and all these plants were eroded by the large amount of abyss energy.

In other words, underneath this trap is a naturally occurring environment of carnivorous plants.

The moment the trap was triggered, the abyss energy immediately erupted, infecting all plants and greatly strengthening these magical plants in a short period of time.

This original carnivorous plant ecosystem was transformed into an abyss demon plant ecosystem.

Although this ecosystem would certainly be destroyed afterwards, at this moment, it was so powerful that all four of them were shrouded in a huge malice.

Warwick the Wizard, McKinley, Locke, and Charlotte the Witch all summoned their own Book of the Sovereign and used the Summoning Demon.

Summoned were paper demons, paper fire-breathing dragons, paper thunderbirds, and paper phoenixes.

The Book of the Sovereign of Witch Xia Li is a Book of Phoenix.

Even the four paper demons were still besieged by the group of carnivorous plants, and it seemed that the four of them were about to be covered by the endless group of carnivorous plants.

Warwick used the Abyssal Werewolf’s innate magical eye, the Eye of Wisdom, to scan the entire trap. His face suddenly darkened. “No, there are too many of these Piranha Plants. The combined magical pressure is too great.”

“We must find a small way out.”

Witch Charlie shouted, “Kill them? That’s easy for you to say!”

Witch Charlie chopped down a carnivorous plant with a sword and quickly approached Locke. Obviously, at this critical moment, she could no longer care about many things and just wanted to protect herself and Locke first.

Wizard McKinley’s face was grim, “Everyone, think of a solution quickly.”

“Damn it, flying is prohibited here, otherwise we could just fly up. Wait… This Piranha Jungle seems to be under some kind of spell. It has the ability to automatically recover…”

They saw that the carnivorous plant that was destroyed by them recovered quickly with the help of magical power.

Warwick’s wise eyes swept over the area, quickly analyzing the situation. “The demonic plants here fear water. Only by flooding them can they be destroyed. But this land is under a drought spell. If we summon water, the land will devour it.”

“We need lots of water! We need to break the drought spell here!”

“Oh no, that two-ringed carnivorous plant is coming over here.”

I saw a carnivorous plant in front of me that looked like a giant abyss worm turning around. The mouth-like part in the middle opened wide, and the spikes inside kept surging and rolling inward.

A huge suction force was exerted towards the four people.

Warwick’s expression changed drastically. “There’s one more trick. I used sealing magic on all four of us simultaneously, exiling us from this dimension. But this will send us back to a demiplane, and we’ll have to find a way to get back in.”

“Everyone, give me ten minutes. I will cast the exile spell on you.”

Locke glanced at him. “Warwick, I didn’t know you were so funny.”

“It took a lot of effort for everyone to get here.”

“If it’s a demonic plant, I have a way.”

Locke chanted a spell, and the porcelain moon in the star ring flew out automatically. A full moon that seemed to come from eternity automatically appeared behind Locke.

Under the light of the full moon, the magic pressure of a large number of carnivorous plant species around them reached the limit in an instant, and under the infection of the abyss energy, their aggressiveness also reached the extreme.

And launched a fierce attack on the four people.

The four of them were miserable.

But this attack only lasted for a moment.

The next moment, all the carnivorous plant demons began to wither rapidly, and one demon plant after another began to self-destruct due to the energy of the abyss.

The evil spirit is everywhere.

Even the large demonic plant that looked like a giant abyss worm began to have large holes appearing on its surface, with demonic energy surging out.

Then, the entire magic plant exploded.

The porcelain moon behind Locke also went through eight phases of the moon in succession.

Under the change of the moon’s gravity, the two-ringed magic plant, the carnivorous plant that had been severely infected by the energy of the abyss, was completely detonated.

Locke gritted his teeth and tried to pull the second-ring magic plant, as if he was pulling a mountain with a cart.

If it weren’t for the fact that his Porcelain Moon had been perfected to a certain degree, and if the trap itself hadn’t had a design flaw, the energy of the abyss would have been far more ferocious than the designer had imagined. Otherwise, his Porcelain Moon would not have been able to have any effect on the second-ring magic plant.

The carnivorous plant suddenly raised its roots from the soil, among which were real plant roots and many imaginary roots!

An iron ball also flew out the moment it lifted the roots out of the soil. Charlie grabbed it and prevented the iron ball from flying away.

At the same time, the two-ringed carnivorous plant finally couldn’t hold on, and its imaginary roots were also illuminated by the moonlight from the porcelain moon, allowing the abyss energy to invade it.

Then, all the roots exploded.

Locke took the opportunity to observe this scene and saw the self-destruction of this two-ring magic plant.

This phenomenon is very rare for me at the moment.

It can be clearly seen that every part of such a two-ring magic plant is gradually destroyed under the erosion of the abyss energy. For a breeder, this scene is relatively luxurious.

If it weren’t for such a special coincidence, it would be hard to see in normal times.

Witch Charlotte threw the iron ball to Locke. “Here. You’re the wizard who dealt with this second-ring demon plant, so this thing should be yours.”

At this time, all the carnivorous plants on the earth have withered under the growth of Porcelain Moon.

The four of them were also covered in wounds.

The four of them stood in a large pit filled with plant corpses and abyssal energy, breathing softly.

This trap… is really too cruel.

Every move is deadly.

Locke looked at the place where the second-ring magic plant fell, and saw a hidden statue of a little princess under the rotten plant part.

The princess in the statue still looks into the distance while holding a crown in her hand.

Warwick and others followed Locke’s gaze and saw the crown.

Warwick looked at the crown, his throat rolling. “No way. Could this be the crown of the unknown king?”

Locke saw the words written on the statue’s base: “My king, your expedition has ended. The Tower of Black Sun has descended, destroying everything we have built in an instant.”

“This tool for becoming a king has also turned to decay.”

“I’ll preserve it for the next era. I’ve set up numerous traps. Can I block the Black Sun Tower’s gaze? Or has the Black Sun Tower no longer cared about it?”

“A decaying royal weapon can no longer guide the times. Can it survive the ravages of time and be preserved, and discovered by future generations?”

As Locke finished reading the above text, the so-called tool for becoming a king actually collapsed.

Locke, Warwick and the other four instantly opened the Book of the Sovereign, scanned the crown, and recorded its negative energy particle field information before it completely collapsed.

Warwick was incredibly excited. “Why are these traps so terrifying? Every move is deadly. And what a secret hidden behind them. A royal weapon… There’s never been any mention of such a thing in archaeological discoveries from the Age of Stars.”

“What the hell is this?”

“Although the royal weapon has decayed, which is a pity, the four of us have preserved its negative energy field information. Later, we will compare it with each other to see if there are any errors in the preservation.”

“These traps are meant to kill future tomb robbers, but this princess seems to want future generations to discover them.”

Locke was silent for a moment, then said, “I can perhaps understand the princess’s conflicted feelings. She hated those who would intrude upon her resting place in the future, but as someone who had achieved something in her time, she also wanted future generations to see what she and her husband had created.”

“Or perhaps the princess is pretending to be a device to prevent future generations from invading, but in reality, she wants to tell them something. Something that they are forbidden from sharing.”
