Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 662
Chapter 659: The Idea of Establishing a Wizard Shoe Store Alliance and the Pixiu Angle Fractal Spiral Constraint Equations
Locke didn’t expect that this thing actually hid such a serious safety hazard, and immediately felt a chill on his back.
The wizarding world was fraught with danger. Even simply conducting research carried the risk of losing one’s life. Countless high-ranking wizards had perished in experiments that went awry in their own laboratories. He was only one step away from following in their footsteps.
Locke said: “Teacher, I understand. I will handle these things carefully.”
Witch Ekaterina nodded. “Show me the mature form of these seeds. You should be able to project them using archaeology spells. Archaeology wizards do have some advantages.”
Locke said, “Okay, teacher.”
He waved his hand, and suddenly an ancient flower appeared in front of Witch Ekaterina.
Witch Ekaterina looked at the ancient flower with great interest, then said, “This is simply a fake flower. Do those ancient wizards of the Black Sun Tower have so much leisure time?”
“Hmm…” Witch Ekaterina said, “My fake best friends in the Rose Council might like this kind of thing. Wait, the appearance of this fake flower is quite interesting. I once saw a magical plant with this appearance in the deepest part of the Emerald Dream. Of course, it was a third-level magical plant, and it was also closely related to some things.”
“The creation of this artificial flower must have touched upon that secret. It seems that the Age of Stars, led by the Black Sun Tower, although it didn’t contribute much to the exploration of the Great Void, did make quite a deep dive into the secrets of certain special planes within the Endless Void.”
“Hmm… That’s right. In an era without void battleships, exploring special planes would be much easier than developing the great void. Void battleship technology was only perfected during the dark and heavy colonial era… But in the Age of Stars, astral projection technology should have appeared.”
“With the technology of astral projection, exploring special planes would be much easier. Second-ring wizards could use astral projection.”
Locke was confused by what the witch Catherine said.
This should be common sense for third-ring wizards.
Or at least that’s common sense in the Second Ring.
Locke didn’t dare interrupt Ekaterina’s thoughts, but she took the initiative to speak to Locke, “Locke, I remember your previous research mentioning that the Big Black Diamond Pineapple mimics the surrounding plants during its growth process.”
Locke looked at the witch Ekaterina in surprise. He had never thought that the throne wizard would have the leisure to read the articles of a young and unknown first-ring wizard like himself.
Locke nodded and said, “That’s right, teacher.”
Witch Ekaterina said, “Then, use the first-level Botany spell Model: Rapid Growth to grow a large black diamond pineapple.”
“And mimic this ancient flower.”
“If my guess is correct, the spiral lines contained within the shape of your ancient flower are not ordinary spiral lines.”
Witch Ekaterina said, “The appearance of many magical plants contains certain theorems. You and I are both breeders, so we all know them.”
“But among the extremely rare magical plants, their appearances aren’t just based on ordinary principles, but rather on a special energy-locking structure. Furthermore, this energy-locking structure often has a special purpose.”
“Now, have a large black diamond pineapple mimic this ancient flower. Immediately. I want to see what happens.”
The witch Ekaterina’s tone became serious. She ordered the magic hairsmith to step back with her eyes, and then sat up straight.
Locke felt the atmosphere become serious.
He nodded and said, “Okay, teacher.”
Locke took out a large black diamond pineapple from his star ring and placed it directly on the table in front of the sofa. Then he placed a piece of moss pith next to the table.
There is a special feature of the air plant, the roots of which are just fixed roots.
Its leaves have the functions of both roots and leaves of ordinary magic plants. They can absorb water, nutrients, and carry out photosynthesis in a special state.
Therefore, you don’t need to cultivate it in soil.
This is one of the reasons why they are suitable as wizard shoes.
If it were other magical plants, whose roots cannot be separated from soil or planting medium, it would naturally be impossible for them to be used as wizard shoes and follow the wizard to other places every day.
There is a saying that can simply describe this phenomenon: a moving man lives, a moving tree dies.
But the planting medium of air plants is air, which makes pure magic plant wizard shoes possible.
Locke used rapid growth, and the big black diamond pineapple absorbed the nutrients from the moss pith and grew rapidly under Locke’s exquisite botanical magic.
Given his current level of life magic, planting this ordinary one-ring magic plant is not difficult at all.
Soon, this big black diamond pineapple grew into an adult, and its black leaves with scales began to twist, forming a spiral pattern that was as strange and weird as an ancient flower.
This spiral pattern has spiral patterns within it, and seems to be able to be subdivided infinitely.
“The Big Black Diamond Pineapple has a mechanism that allows it to mimic the surrounding magical plants, pretending to be other plants to prevent itself from being eaten by certain herbivorous magical creatures.” Locke said, “Using the Big Black Diamond Pineapple, it can indeed spontaneously mimic the surrounding magical plants.”
The witch Ekaterina praised, “Yes, your magical skills as a breeder are getting better and better.”
“It’s just that it lacks the rich experience accumulated over the years.”
At this moment, the Big Black Diamond Pineapple’s state suddenly changed, and a small magic tidal tornado appeared above its head.
As a result, cracks appeared on the table where the big black diamond pineapple was placed.
Locke and Witch Ekaterina both looked over.
Locke pondered, “This special spiral horn shape actually possesses such power. The Big Black Diamond Pineapple only has leaves similar to it, yet it has undergone this transformation.”
Locke picked up the big black diamond pineapple and saw that it seemed to be madly absorbing the surrounding magic tides. Its absorption efficiency was more than ten times higher than that of ordinary big black diamond pineapples.
“Teacher, congratulations, you have discovered a new energy-locking structure.”
Witch Ekaterina was quite surprised. Then she looked at Locke with amusement through the video call of the Water Hyacinth system and asked, “I found out? Isn’t this what you found out?”
“What does it have to do with me? I’m just helping you.”
Locke said: “Teacher…”
Witch Ekaterina waved her hand and said, “I don’t need a discovery of this magnitude. To me, it’s not even the icing on the cake, but to you, it’s… a timely help.”
“I just enlightened your thinking. No need to say more. I’ll get angry if you say more.”
“Okay, do as I said and run some tests on this demonic plant. I have a guess.”
Locke followed the arrangements of Witch Ekaterina and did some tests on the Big Black Diamond Pineapple. He was surprised to find that the performance of the magical plant characteristics of the entire Big Black Diamond Pineapple had at least doubled as the efficiency of obtaining magic tides increased.
Of course, it is not without flaws. It absorbs the surrounding magic tides too quickly, forming a magic tidal vortex.
Witch Ekaterina asked, “What do you think will happen if too many of these magical plants grow in one area?”
Locke said: “It’s an ecological disaster. But teacher, when I first saw the ancient flowers, this phenomenon didn’t occur.”
Witch Ekaterina said, “That’s just an ominous thing, a fake flower. This appearance doesn’t come from them. It’s the Black Sun Tower copying a magical plant that already existed in nature.”
“That ominous object probably had some other design. That’s why this phenomenon didn’t occur. Okay, I have some data from my previous research on fractal function spirals. I’ll give it to you. It should help you speed up and complete the discovery of the functional equation of this spiral.”
A strange look crossed Ekaterina’s face. “By the way, if you have time soon, you can come back to Golden Crown Mountain. A Sun Ring wizard and a Three Ring wizard are looking for you.”
“Don’t be too anxious. Let them wait a while. If they want to wait.”
“No one can bully you in Jinmaon Mountain.”
“Your return this time should be very exciting. I see there is a second-ring wizard waiting for your return in Group 2. Locke, enjoy your vacation in the Jade Flower Enclave.”
Locke was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, “Okay, teacher.”
At the same time, he wondered in his heart why so many high-level wizards wanted to find him just after he went on a long journey.
A three-ring, a sun ring?
A two-ring?
Was he really that popular?
At this moment, Locke accepted the information package sent by Ekaterina. He looked at the information and immediately felt a surge of confidence. “This is much more detailed than the information I bought in this Qionghua enclave.”
“Teacher has previously studied the relationship between plant shapes and special spirals, so he’s done a lot of spiral simulations of functional equations.”
“Some spiral patterns even resemble the shape of this ancient flower. That’s great. It greatly reduces the time it takes me to reverse-engineer that particular spiral equation from the ancient flower’s shape.”
“As long as I get that set of equations, I can try to decipher this spiral and make it appear on many of my magical plants. This spiral energy-locking structure should have many uses.”
“One of the main reasons that limits the characteristics of the magic plant is the speed at which it absorbs magic tides. I didn’t expect that I could obtain this special energy-locking structure that increases the speed at which the magic plant absorbs magic tides through the ancient flower.”
You know, the biggest difference between the two-ring magic plant and the one-ring magic plant is the imaginary root.
And this special spiral line can, to a certain extent, also increase the efficiency of the magic plant in absorbing nutrients and magic tides.
Locke rubbed his palms. “Perfect! I can use the remaining time here to study my spiral while finishing my long article on the excavation of the Abyssal Ruins.”
At that time, a dark wizard apprentice knocked on the door again, and after getting permission, he entered the room and told Locke: “Master Augustine, I didn’t find the Ice Magic Box equipment…”
Locke frowned.
Only after staying in this enclave of magnolias did Locke realize the benefits of being in Yunze Wetland. There was nothing here.
There is no equipment, no information, and no talent…to be honest, there is not much either.
The quality of these first-class wizard apprentices cannot be compared with that of Golden Crown Mountain.
Commanding these wizard apprentices made Locke feel that his two students, Williams and Gregor, were super geniuses…
Locke said, “Don’t you have an Ice Chest? Then let’s use the Hibernation Chest, which is commonly used by the Summoning School, instead.”
“Please rent me a hibernation cabinet.”
“I will pay the magic stones, even if it’s double the price.” Locke sighed. In a place like this, he had no choice but to use double the magic stones to solve the problem.
Fortunately, there is the Fairy Family Bank here, and all parties have remitted money to him. Adding up the money he received this month and last month, he has received another 600,000 magic stones.
Because this is a dark wizard academy, I basically have no living expenses. As for some daily necessities… I take them myself, and others dare not charge me for them.
If I pay, the other party will be scared to death.
So, I stayed here for a while without any consumption.
The first-class wizard apprentice, a dark wizard, swallowed in fear, fearing that Locke would suddenly become furious and punish him.
He hesitated to speak, “Augustine… Teacher, please forgive me, what is the hibernation cabinet… I’m sorry, Teacher, I really don’t know what this thing is…”
The student was so frightened that his waist almost dropped to the ground, and he almost knelt down to Locke.
Locke held his forehead.
Well, the lack of solid basic knowledge is a characteristic of the wizard apprentices in the Jade Flower Enclave.
After all, this is not Yunze Wetland, and there are not so many useful wizard apprentices for me to use.
Everything has to be taught three times before they can do anything.
Locke said in a patient tone: “I won’t eat you, don’t be nervous.”
The student became even more nervous and his whole body was shaking.
Locke gave him a cold look.
The student stopped trembling immediately.
Locke said, “A hibernation cabinet is a device commonly used by official wizards of the School of Summoning when conducting animal experiments. It maintains a specific temperature and magical tidal gradient inside, allowing magical creatures to hibernate. If you don’t have an ice box, and you want to perform experiments for me, then I’ll go look for a hibernation cabinet.”
“It’s barely usable.”
“The Hibernation Cabinet is more common than the Ice Box. Many magical creatures have the habit of hibernating, so many common experiments in the School of Summoning use the Hibernation Cabinet.”
I wanted to use the hibernation magic cabinet to determine the germination temperature of those ancient magic plant seeds.
Because from the exploration of the abyss ruins, Locke noticed that the weather and temperature at that time were very low, which may have had a collective impact on the magic plants.
Through this experiment, I can determine the average temperature of the Star Age.
This will play a vital role in supporting the excavation and discovery of one’s own relics.
After listening to this, the student left with a guilty conscience. Locke didn’t know whether he understood it or not.
Half a month later.
In the laboratory lent to him by the Ashes Cult, Locke finally confirmed the simplified functional equation of the spiral line of the ancient flower.
This is a set of beautifully concise formulas, with a total of fifteen functional equations.
But it represents a rare energy-locking structure.
Locke said, “This formula is too complicated. If the teacher hadn’t given me the research materials, I would have spent at least ten years on it. No, it might even take longer.”
This is because, when Locke was reversing the special spiral lines of ancient flowers, he discovered that this special spiral line seemed to have its own cognitive shield.
If it weren’t for the witch Catherine’s manuscript, it would have been very difficult for me to deal with this special phenomenon where my mind would go blank halfway through the calculation.
“Perhaps I’m not worthy enough,” Locke pondered. “This special spiral angle curve might really come from the depths of the Emerald Plane, or the depths of some special plane.”
“But discovering this particular spiral… has been good for me.”
Locke looked at the special pattern on the paper in front of him. It was a strange spiral pattern drawn by himself. It was extremely complex, with curves within curves.
Even if you use a magnifying glass to look at the details, you will find that there are still details within the details.
It’s clearly just a pattern on a piece of paper, but an unusually large amount of ink and brush is used.
Just like the Big Black Diamond Pineapple, once it mimics this spiral fractal curve, it will inexplicably be able to quickly absorb the surrounding magical tides, as if the surface area of its leaves has increased and its efficiency in absorbing surrounding substances has improved.
Moreover, this special structure is only useful for plants.
Locke tried to place this structure on a simple alchemical item, but the alchemical item did not show an increase in energy transmission efficiency and energy absorption efficiency.
Therefore, this special locking structure is only useful against magic plants.
Locke looked at the laboratory table and saw a pair of large snow-capped pineapples on it, and their leaves also had special spiral angles.
This is a magical plant that I created by synthesizing the large snow-capped pineapple and the large black diamond pineapple that mimics ancient flowers.
However, you can actually do this yourself using the grafting method.
It just uses the magic cube synthesis to reduce the cultivation time and improve the cultivation quality.
Locke took it out, went to the wild, and put it on.
At the same time, he felt as if an ice track appeared under his feet, and a pair of large snow-capped pineapples turned into skates. He exerted a little force and slid forward on the ice track.
Locke slid quickly around the edge of the sky as if he was wearing a pair of roller skates.
“Sure enough, using this spiral horn shape can fully amplify my large snow-top pineapple wizard shoes. This allows an ordinary wizard, as long as they wear this pair of wizard shoes, to glide through the sky using botanical magic that leans towards ice magic, just like Witch Diana did when she participated in the Yunze Cup.”
“The speed is very close to the speed at which Witch Diana glided through the sky back then.”
Locke tested it.
You know, back then, Diana was a witch in the first crystallization stage.
If a proper wizard could wear his wizard shoes and approach the speed she had once glided through the air, it would demonstrate the superiority of his pure magic plant wizard shoes!
They allowed wizards who weren’t good at mobility to possess the ability to move at high speeds, adapt to certain terrains, and possess a certain degree of defensive capabilities. This was the true meaning of the wizard shoes.
This is also the basic requirement of the Demon World War centralized bidding,
and it is also the first requirement! Wizard shoes were created to increase the movement speed of wizards!
All other functions are empty, the ability to increase speed is the real thing!
At this moment, Locke used an ordinary snow-capped pineapple, and after it had undergone overlordization and special spiral keratinization, he achieved this.
This is enough to prove that the pure magic plant wizard shoes have become a real possibility in Locke’s hands.
And this may also bring huge wealth to Locke.
Locke looked at the pair of large snow-topped wizard shoes and said, “However, it does require a lot of magic power. This is a disadvantage.”
“But the advantage is that an ordinary first-ring wizard, by wearing it, can reach the speed of Witch Diana in the Yunze Cup.”
Locke skated in mid-air, circling a hill to test the strength of the wizard shoes. “I didn’t expect that the path of wizard shoes would be truly opened up for me.”
The reason why the wizard shoes made from pure magic plants were completely unpopular was not only because of the collective rejection and resistance of the magic weavers, but also because the quality and performance of the wizard shoes made from pure magic plants were really not as good as the wizard shoes made by the magic weavers.
The textile materials and structures of the wizard shoes made by magic weavers have been continuously developed by alchemists and optimized by enchanters, and they have a complete development history and industrial chain.
Therefore, the breeders’ magic plants were completely surpassed by the magic weavers in the development of wizard shoes, magic clothes, magic gloves and wizard hats, and therefore stopped development in these four areas.
Instead, they focused on developing combat-type magic plants and magic plants that produce potion materials.
But Locke, at this moment, used the dominance and special spiral angles to pave the way for the development of pure magic plant wizard shoes.
“I need a lot of money now to break through the second ring. But if I focus on combat-type magic plants, or areas commonly seen by breeders, I will enter the red ocean market.”
“There are so many talented breeders in Yunze Wetlands. The market for common magical plants is a hot market, but wizard shoes are different.”
Locke landed on the ground and put away his wizard shoes. “According to my previous market research, the wizard shoe market is now completely dominated by magic weavers. To make more money, magic weavers use industry rules to add too many functions to a pair of wizard shoes, pursuing comprehensive development.”
“Wizard shoes are fireproof, coldproof, invisible, corrosion-resistant, and self-cleaning. They have many functions and are expensive. The average price is much higher than other types of magic tools crafted by alchemists. They are also more expensive than wizard shoes in other wizarding lands and have more functions. All this is because the magic weavers control the entire wizard shoe industry ecosystem in Yunze Wetland!”
“But if other breeders want to enter this industry, they will face the problem that their wizard shoes cannot match the performance of the magic weavers’ wizard shoes. Therefore, outsiders cannot enter this market. Over time, the price of wizard shoes in the Yunze Wetland market has become increasingly distorted.”
“The major wizard shoe weaving workshops have hijacked wizard academies and even established industry rules. Through standard design drawings, all magic weavers are accustomed to redundant designs and redundant functions for wizard shoes from the very beginning of their training, in order to increase the standard selling price.”
“But the prerequisite for all this is that the wizard shoes made by the magic weaver… can surpass the wizard shoes made by wizards of other schools. But now with my joining, the rules have changed.”
“As long as I launch the Augustus series of wizard shoes with a single function and a reasonable price, I should be able to make a lot of money. I can also set up a breeder studio. Just do this!”
“This way, I can support my research and become a second-ring wizard, and the huge expenditure required to construct two extremely powerful spells.”
Locke has been worrying about money.
Constructing two extremely powerful spells would cost twice as much money. The Forest Sanctuary is still a big spender!
Moreover, if you want to create a great magic that is better than others, you will need to invest more money.
So, money, money, money, everything comes back to the word money.
Locke decided to set up a wizard shoe brand, or even… a wizard shoe store alliance, and use the money to support himself to become a second-ring wizard.
As for offending people?
That’s no need to think about it.
As early as the first day I came to Jinmian Mountain, I knew that unless I was nothing, just living a good life would offend people.
Locke said, “Let’s call this set of spiral equations the Pixiu angular fractal spiral constraint equations.”
“By the way, I need to contact Scarlett Witch. I wonder how much money my two wizard shoes made me this time.”
