Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 655

Chapter 652: Get the recipe of Zero Potion!

King Otto straightened his clothes. “At least I’ve solved the problem of the undead becoming kings. The undead, accumulated for thousands of years during the Age of Stars, were wiped out in a single day. I’ve completely thwarted the original plans of those undead liches. They once dreamed of transforming the entire wizard civilization into the dead, bringing time to a complete halt, and thus maintaining their rule.”

“You can erase this history, but you can’t erase the changes I made to this world.”

“I have solved one of the four major problems for this world. That is enough.”

King Otto said, “Just facing death… I made the same mistake as them.”

King Otto snapped his fingers, and in the golden palace, in front of a magic mirror, King Otto’s body turned into ashes, revealing a skeleton.

He actually used necromancy to keep himself alive.

Princess Loom covered her mouth and said in surprise: “Otto, you…”

King Otto bowed his head. “Faced with the pressure of death, I finally compromised. Of course, there’s another reason. I need to confirm one thing.”

He looked up at Locke.

Of course, Locke knew that he was just looking at the wizard of the Tower of Black Sun who had stood before him in history.

King Otto said seriously, “I still want to confirm one thing, that is, whether the immortality created by necromancy is truly immortality. And the moment I transformed myself into a lich, I immediately understood the real reason why the Black Sun Tower banned the immortality of necromancy.”

“Death inevitably takes something away. This is the fundamental principle of necromancy. So, the moment I transformed myself into a lich…” The soul fire in King Otto’s eyes flickered. “I discovered that I’ve lost my empathy for people. This is irrational. This proves a point. While this method of proof isn’t rigorous, from a practical perspective, I believe it’s sufficiently applicable.”

“Liches never truly escape death. Death still takes away certain qualities from them, extracting something from their souls. This causes them to remain frozen in time and become accomplices of death. Every lich is, in essence, a puppet of death.”

“The liches have escaped death? Hahaha… The liches are simply being controlled by death in another form.”

“The immortality created by necromancy is flawed. You should have known this long ago.”

Locke heard himself speak. “Yes. What the Black Sun Tower truly rejects is not the immortal ruler, but the lich transformed by the unsuccessful necromancy.”

King Odo walked back up the steps to his throne. “In that case, there is no need for you to kill me. Give me the dignity of a king. The death of a king shall not be at the hands of others.”

He sat on the throne, wearing a crown, and the soul fire that was dancing in his eyes gradually went out.

“Death wants me to be its puppet… It’s impossible.”

“For at least half of my life, I have been someone else’s puppet, so I don’t want to be someone else’s puppet anymore. This so-called immortal life is worse than extinction.”

King Otto is completely dead.

The princess fell to her knees before the throne and began to cry.

At the same time, the picture shattered like a mirror.

In the dark space, the young wizard stood before Locke. He frowned. “Failed. The final secret, which the princess wanted to pass on to future generations on behalf of the Nameless King, was the formula for the Zero Potion, which the Nameless King completed before his death. But just now, even after the projection of past history ended, you still didn’t obtain the formula for the Zero Potion.”

Locke frowned, noticing that he hadn’t left the space created by this special historical boundary curse. “Then, Grandmaster, do you have any other solutions?”

If possible, I don’t want to stop suddenly here when I am about to reach the destination.

He only had one step left to get what the princess wanted to tell him.

The young wizard seemed lost in thought. “Let me ask you, in your time, was archaeology a prominent field?”

Locke thought for a moment, “It’s a first-level subject. It’s indeed a prominent discipline and the most important magical force for dark wizards.”

The young wizard said, “Dark wizard? Never mind, let’s not talk about that. If that’s the case, then the first condition for lifting the Black Sun Tower’s expulsion curse has been met.”

“My archaeology, at the high level, allows me to reconstruct the past and rewind time. So, has a wizard ascended to a demonic realm? Has the wizarding world conducted extensive explorations of the Great Void?”

Locke thought of the Star Sea’s demon ascension plan and the Great Void Exploration Era, and said, “That’s indeed the case.”

The young wizard raised his lip. “No wonder the Expulsion Curse had such a weak effect this time. Only four first-level archaeology wizards were able to partially break the Expulsion Curse.”

“So, the three conditions that maintain the curse of expulsion no longer exist… anymore. Seventy thousand years later, the world has changed dramatically. What was once impossible has now become possible.”

“You are truly lucky to be able to live in the afterlife,” the young wizard said. “There is one last solution. I can exchange the entire spiritual power of this memory clone for another chance. But it’s only one chance. You can ask King Otto for the specific formula of the Zero Potion in your past projection.”

“This is the princess’s final wish. It will also be of great benefit to you. The Zero Potion Formula is the final achievement of King Otto as a potion master.”

“Although it has disappeared from history due to the curse of expulsion and has never appeared in the history of wizard civilization, this does not mean that it is… worthless. If you can obtain it, you can inherit King Otto’s legacy in potions. Before his death, he was a third-ring wizard, and a third-ring wizard close to a fourth-ring wizard.”

Locke nodded and said, “If possible, as a potion master, I am of course interested in obtaining King Otto’s inheritance. The blank spirituality is indeed very interesting.”

“But how do I get the formula?”

The young wizard smiled and said, “You really like to play dumb. I won’t answer your question. Locke Augustine… you are an archaeological wizard, a potion master, and even more so a botanical wizard. You understand this problem better than I do. I am just an archaeological wizard. I know nothing about potions.”

“It would be useless for me to answer.”

“It will only mislead you.”

The young wizard’s figure gradually shattered. “Locke, this time you really can only rely on yourself. My spirituality is about to disappear.”

“Locke, seize this last chance. This is your last chance to obtain the formula for the Zero Potion. If you miss it… the Zero Potion will truly and completely disappear from history. This is a tragedy for civilization, and also for you.”

The next moment, the young wizard’s figure completely shattered. “I leave all of this to you.”

…

In the Golden Crown Mountain and the Zhenzhi Academy, Witch Ekaterina looked impatiently at the people in the Storm Tower in front of her, with a hint of contempt in her eyes.

Wizard Smith politely said to Witch Ekaterina, “Your Majesty, this is a wizard from the Thunder Demon Society, and a victim of this incident. We are here to seek an explanation from Golden Crown Mountain.”

Witch Ekaterina raised her brows. “Explanation? What explanation?”

Wizard Smith’s face froze. “Your Majesty…”

Witch Ekaterina ignored him and looked at a three-ring wizard from the Smith family. She said, “If you really want an explanation, you shouldn’t have come to Golden Crown Mountain empty-handed.”

“What you want is not justice, but an excuse.”

“Tell me what you want. If it’s possible, we can do a normal deal. If not, you can just leave on your own. It won’t hurt the relationship between our two colleges.”

The Smith family’s three-ring wizard immediately saluted Ekaterina. “Your Majesty, you are so quick to speak.”

“Youngsters, you don’t understand things and think the world is all black and white. Please forgive me. Actually, we just want…”

The three-ring wizard coughed and ordered Wizard Smith to take the Thunder Demon Society wizard out first.

Wizard Smith immediately revealed an unwilling expression, but he had no choice but to take the wizard from the Thunder Demon Society out.

…

The ruins of the abyss, the historical boundary monument in the cursed space.

Locke found himself walking into the golden palace again, and King Otto stood up from the throne and continued the previous round of conversation.

“Has the time in the historical re-enactment been reset?” Locke suddenly realized what the last chance that the ancestor had gained by sacrificing his own spiritual clone meant.

Locke asked directly: “King Otto, I would like to ask for the formula of the Zero Potion.”

King Otto seemed oblivious to these words, instead continuing on his own. “I know what the Black Sun Tower fears… You planted those flowers of destruction in my land…”

Locke frowned. “Not good. If this continues, the result will be the same as before. King Otto will choose to end his life.”

‘The last chance for redemption that our Grandmaster had earned would be wasted.’

Locke frowned and said to King Otto: “King Otto, I am not Ezra Clarkson.”

King Otto pointed at the bronze cauldron before him, opened it, and said, “I have a new idea… this blank spirituality…”

Locke frowned. “Is it completely impossible to communicate with him? No matter how I try to talk to him, he’s only talking to the historical Ezra Clarkson.”

“But the fact that the Grandmaster dared to send me back proves that this situation isn’t a dead end. I have something that can still change past history!”

“What the hell! We’re running out of time.”

Seeing that King Otto was still talking, Locke used the botanical magic [One Breed, One Branch] to try to connect his own spirituality with the other’s spirituality.

But the spell failed.

The two sides seem to be standing together, but there seems to be an infinite distance between them, and it is impossible for them to be of the same mind.

Locke frowned. “Wait, think about it from another angle. Because my power structure is similar to Ezra Clarkson’s, I was chosen by the Historical Boundary Curse to replace him in this history. So what is the difference between me and Ezra Clarkson?”

“What do I have that he doesn’t have…”

Locke took out the iron ball he had obtained from the star ring.

King Otto paused and looked at the iron ball in his hand.

“A royal weapon. This is the royal weapon I made.”

“Since you are a wizard from the Tower of Black Sun, how could you possibly hold the royal weapon I created?”

“You…” King Otto said, “You are not a wizard from the Tower of Black Sun. Are you?”

“There seems to be a vast distance between me and the real you. It requires immense strength to break through.”

Locke frowned. “So that’s how it is.”

Locke exhaled. “I don’t know if my magic power is enough.”

He summoned the Relics of the Golden Palace and used the Peach-bow Thorn Arrow. At the same time, a full moon rose behind him, amplifying the Peach-bow Thorn Arrow in his hand.

He shot the arrow, and immediately the little golden date fell towards King Otto.

“Bang~”

Locke realized that the magical power of this arrow was still not enough!
The two were still separated by a long distance, and his own magical power was unable to break this distance.

King Otto looked at Locke with a puzzled look and took two steps back.

Locke raised the Peach Arc Thorn Arrow and summoned two Abyss Devouring Sea Sands. The two Sea Sands superimposed the power of Mist and combined together to become a fern spear.

Overlord Fern Spear!

The fern spear fell on the peach bow, turned into an arrow, and absorbed the moonlight. This was Locke’s most powerful attack magic at the moment without using ritual magic.

Locke released the bowstring in his hand, and the next moment, the arrow from the Overlord Fern Spear shot towards King Otto!

But the next moment, the arrow also disappeared into the distant distance.

Locke frowned. In that case, he only had one last resort left – using ritual magic.

Borrow the power of the Emerald Dream!

But King Otto suddenly stretched out his palm in front of him, and he suddenly grabbed something, “I caught it.”

The Overlord Fern Spear appeared in his hand. “Hmm? Strange magical pressure?”

“It seems that a long time has separated us. In that case, I will lend you my kingdom.”

“Although this kingdom is currently in ruins and has regressed to the second ring level, it should be able to enhance your strength to a certain extent, perhaps allowing us to truly meet.”

Locke was stunned and suddenly realized that the kingdom in the golden palace that had originally resisted him had accepted him again.

Locke took the opportunity to use the Porcelain Moon, and a full moon rose in the golden palace. As the holder of the magic dragon bloodline, Locke transformed into the Dark Sun.

In the golden palace, the sun and the moon are in motion.

Locke’s magic pressure once again broke through from 9999 to 10000!

This time, Locke did not place the remaining branch of the Golden Palace on the Porcelain Moon, but chose a plant of Overlord Sea Sand. The Overlord Sea Sand took root on the Porcelain Moon and turned into a moon fern.

At the same time, Locke tried to use [Golden Finger] on the Porcelain Moon!
Suddenly, the spell model was shrouded in it, and a large amount of golden spore powder appeared, and a celestial-level Golden Finger appeared!
