Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 668

Chapter 665: Discovery of a special root energy-locking structure

Chapter 665: Discovery of the Special Root Locking Energy Structure.
This wizard, who looked unfamiliar to Locke, immediately went to the independent small office of Wizard Zalan Bailey after leaving the Sith Wizard’s office.

After hearing the news he had gathered, Wizard Zalan Bailey fell into deep thought. “No plans? It seems I overestimated Locke Augustine. He’s only a First Ring Wizard, after all. I might have overestimated him.”

“So, the only ones competing with me for the special grant this year are the researchers at the second-ring wizard stage in the six groups.” Wizard Zalan Bailey smiled at the wizard. “Wizard Tucker, thank you for tipping me off. Thank you.”

Wizard Tucker smiled and said, “Given our relationship, I will definitely help you. Wizard Zalan, if you can get this year’s special funding from Golden Crown Mountain, it will really bring honor to us, the ordinary researchers in our group.”

“We, the researchers, are very supportive of you.”

“Especially those of us who have a good relationship with you, and we also want to thank you for the resources you recently allocated to us friends.”

Wizard Zaran Bailey nodded. “Of course. We are friends.”

…

After Locke finished the report and left the Dune Plane, he immediately went to the Alsace Plantation area at the foot of Golden Crown Mountain and contacted Scarlett Witch.

Locke gave her the modified final version of the snow-capped pineapple seeds, as well as a sufficient amount of No. 2 overlord factor and cell combination.

“Seeds, one hundred tubes of No. 2 Overlord Factor and cell combination, and a new design.” Locke said, “This is the fourth set of wizard shoes I designed. It can be called the Demonic Pineapple Wizard Shoes.”

“These are pineapple wizard shoes designed specifically for the Demon World War.”

“In order to collect enough data, I also conducted experiments on the wizards from the Twin Demon Realms.”

Inside the plantation, Scarlett Witch raised her brows.

She looked at the magic plant performance test report Locke gave him and was immediately surprised: “Locke, the performance of the fourth pair of wizard shoes you designed this time… has improved a lot.”

If the previous three wizard shoes can only be said to be of good quality, the performance of the fourth pair of magic plant wizard shoes, which is produced by combining plant mimicry and the special spiral angles of ancient flowers, can be said to be excellent.

Even if we only look at the performance of the wizard shoes, they have reached the current highest level of wizard shoe manufacturers near the Jinmian Mountain area of Yunze Wetland.

Scarlett Witch looked at Locke in surprise and asked, “How could you use the methods of a breeder to improve the performance of a pair of magic plant wizard shoes to this level?”

Locke smiled and didn’t explain because there was no need for explanation.

Scarlett Witch is just her own trader.

Locke said, “In that case, do I have a chance to be selected for the wizard suit for the Golden Crown Mountain Demon World War?”

Scarlett Witch looked at the data report. “If this data is true, that’s great. Furthermore, the wizard shoes you designed have no redundant functions, so there’s no need to add additional service fees to the contract.”

As a professional trader, Scarlett Witch immediately said, “If that’s the case, we can definitely give it a try.”

“If it were a fair competition, then with the performance of your Magic Plant Wizard Shoes, you would definitely win the bid. But the problem is… the unspoken rules within the Magic Weaver…”

Locke said: “There are unspoken rules within the magic weavers, but there are also unspoken rules within the breeders. I think we can use unspoken rules to fight against unspoken rules.”

Scarlett Witch was stunned for a moment. She used her eyes to signal the surrounding Alsace staff to stay away from this place, then looked at Locke and said, “Locke, what kind of unspoken rules can there be between breeders?”

Locke said, “The Hand of the Jungle. I remember that because of the Hand of the Jungle, the White Wizard Associations in various places had problems with environmental protection indicators. Golden Crown Mountain has a big name, so it has many environmental protection indicators.”

“And if our Augustus Wizard Shoes brand is recognized as an environmentally friendly brand…”

Scarlett’s eyes lit up, and the last cloud of darkness in her heart was lifted. “If our wizard shoes were an environmentally friendly brand, Golden Crown Mountain would choose to buy our Augustus wizard shoes in order to meet its annual environmental protection targets.”

“Wait a moment, I’ll check the information.”

She used the Ganoderma Lucidum Magic Plant to activate the Water Hyacinth System and consulted several wizards to confirm Jinmian Mountain’s environmental protection targets for this year. “This year, the Yunze Wetland’s environmental protection target is a total of 100 million magic stones, of which 10 million magic stones have been allocated to Jinmian Mountain.”

Locke was a little surprised. “One hundred million?”

Scarlett Witch smiled and said, “It’s already very little. This is already the result of the Three Lakes region not accepting Green Steel City’s tricks. The environmental protection expenses that many regions have to pay are astronomical. Green Steel City has recently been asking Xingyuhai to allocate 30 billion yuan for environmental protection every year, increasing Xingyuhai’s environmental protection responsibilities.”

“Of course, this is just an unreasonable request.”

“In short, Golden Crown Mountain has only met half of its environmental protection quota this year. Although this is just a small matter for Golden Crown Mountain, it is a troublesome matter that requires some thought. However, if our wizard shoes can be recognized as an environmentally friendly brand by Jungle Hand, it will solve this small problem for Golden Crown Mountain.”

Scarlett Witch smiled and said, “That’s indeed an idea. I haven’t thought of it before.”

Scarlett Witch slapped her forehead. “I always just wanted to play by the rules, so I never imagined there would be something like this.”

She looked at Locke in surprise. “Why do I feel like you’re more suitable to be a trader in Alsace than I am?”

Locke said, “That must be an illusion. You are the witch of the prophecy school.”

“Scarlett Witch, I’ll leave it to you. I’ve been a bit busy lately.”

Scarlett Witch nodded. “Using this approach will significantly increase the competitiveness of breeders’ creations.”

“Maybe I can use this trick on my less-than-perfect breeders.”

Locke remained noncommittal.

He made this suggestion because when making wizard shoes, his own pure magic plant wizard shoes did not pollute the environment much, while the wizard shoe production chain of the magic weavers had multiple links that would produce magic industrial pollution.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that our own Augustus Wizard shoes do have the potential to serve as a model brand for environmental protection.

As for Scarlett Witch, whether she should use this idea to help other breeders and engage in unfair competition would deviate from her original intention.

Scarlett Witch and I were just partners, so naturally, we had no motivation to say anything more.

Scarlett Witch said to Locke, “I’ll help you contact Jungle Hands. Some people there owe me a favor. I’ll definitely help you confirm that your wizard shoes are an environmentally friendly brand before the final review.”

Locke said, “Thank you very much, Scarlett Witch.”

After Locke said another word, he left here and went to the Dragon Blood Gathering and found the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion.

He came to the Feathered Serpent Ancient Pavilion today mainly for two things.

The first thing is to try to pass the fourth round of the ladder.

The second thing is to use the Queen’s chessboard to analyze ancient flowers.

I have three important gains in the secret realm of the Abyss Ruins.

The first one is the magical achievement of archaeology.

The second biggest thing was that he obtained artificial ancient flowers, and obtained special spiral horns from the ancient flowers to make his fourth pair of wizard shoes.

The third one was learning the Alchemy and Reverse Alchemy Method of King Otto.

Through the reverse refining method, he finally figured out how to solve the problem of the wizard in the Southern Witch City.

It is indeed necessary to be a second-ring wizard to prepare the Zero Potion through reverse refining.

But the problem is that the reverse refining method is itself just a way of thinking about preparing potions, a new method, rather than a fixed operation for preparing the Zero Potion.

Locke used the reverse refining method to draw inferences from one instance to another and figured out all the things he had not figured out before.

There is a possibility of passing the fourth round of ladder test of the Feathered Serpent Ancient Pavilion.

Locke entered the Quetzalcoatl Pavilion and immediately felt his luck being enhanced by the Dragon’s Nest Luck Technique. At the same time, a green dragon half-dragon came out and said, “Dear guest, it’s been a while since you came. I didn’t expect you to visit our shop today.”

Locke said indifferently: “I will use the Queen’s Chessboard for three days. Here are three hundred magic crystal cards.”

The green dragon half-dragon shop owner was stunned for a moment. “Dear guest, the Queen’s Chessboard itself is also very dangerous for a first-ring wizard. Did you order too many days?”

Locke waved his hand. “No, I’m sure. I’ll order three days at a time.”

The green dragon half-dragon shop owner said, “Okay.”

“Wait a moment. I’ll use the optical transmitter to contact the higher-ups at the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion. In your case, they might be able to offer some special discounts.”

The green dragon half-dragon shop owner turned on the optical transmitter, and soon a message appeared from the optical transmitter. The green dragon half-dragon shop owner turned to look at Locke and said, “Dear guest, you enjoy a special discount in the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion. If you really purchase three days of Queen Chessboard use at once, then, considering the cost and your distinguished status, the management will directly give you a week of use.”

Locke glanced at the green dragon, half-dragon shop owner, in surprise. “That’s double the time.”

The green dragon half-dragon shop owner saluted Locke and said, “This is an instruction from the top management of the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion. The Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion is not a profit-making department, nor does it need to be profitable. The one million magic stones we charged you before were only due to the market price.”

“But since you need it, Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion can even charge you only the cost price.”

Locke looked at the green dragon half-dragon shop owner in confusion.

This is absolutely unacceptable to the wizard organization in Sanze Land, because whether or not they can make money is what the wizard organization in Sanze Land values most.

Even this point is valued by the Star Domain Sea.

Locke was increasingly curious about the origins of the powerful figure behind the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion. “When I was in the Six Towers, some friends told me that your Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion is a cross-wizardry alliance of shops from the Star Sea.”

“But when I came to the land of Sanze, a wizard told me that the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion did not come from the Star Sea.”

“I also think that the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion wouldn’t be from the Star Sea. Wizarding organizations in the Star Sea wouldn’t do something like this that doesn’t make money.”

The green dragon half-dragon shop owner saluted Locke and said, “Dear guest, the Quetzalcoatl Pavilion will exist wherever it is.”

“It has always been an honor for our Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion to serve an excellent potion master, especially one like you who possesses immortal dragon scales.”

Locke nodded slightly and stopped worrying.

The reason why he spent so many magic stones to use the Queen’s Chessboard was to use it to analyze the ancient flowers and solve all his previous confusions.

He also had to combine the Queen’s chessboard and the archaeology spell to analyze the resin ball given to him by the princess.

In addition, he needed to use the Queen’s Chessboard and borrow its function of deducing the future at the level of the Force to help him quickly digest all the historical and legendary materials he currently had and write a history book.

In this way, the conditions for advancing to the second ring of archaeological magic can be met.

That’s why I don’t feel bad about using so many magic stones.

Because these magic stones are not spent lavishly, but invested in oneself, to invest better in oneself for the future.

If I don’t spend these three million, I won’t be able to compile my historical materials into a book quickly, and it will take more than ten years to polish it.

I also need to hire a large number of wizards to help me analyze the structure of ancient flowers.

For me right now, time is money.

The Silent Holy Grail Tournament is coming soon, and every investment you make in yourself will be worth it.

Locke paid three hundred magic crystal cards, and then at the invitation of the green dragon half-dragon, entered the Queen’s chessboard room.

Locke said in the Queen’s Chess Room, “If we use two sets of Queen’s Chess, it will definitely attract the attention of many wizards, and it will be difficult to use the Queen’s Chess for such a long time.”

“That second-ring wizard who’s hostile to me might also be interfering. So even though Group 2 has the Queen Chessboard, I’ll prioritize using the equipment from the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion.”

“Fortunately, the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion gave me an additional discount, reducing the cost of using the Queen’s Chessboard.”

Locke walked to the Queen’s chessboard and placed an ancient flower seed on the chessboard. Suddenly, a large amount of spirituality floated across the entire chessboard, and many phantoms of ancient flower seeds appeared.

Locke scanned the phantoms of the seeds, and the phantoms drifted toward the sky, releasing spirituality like water droplets. “The ancient flower is indeed not a plant, but an artificial polymer.”

Locke skillfully projected a historical image onto the seeds of ancient flowers.

Under the effect of this magic, a spiritual projection of the ancient flower’s adult form appeared on the surface of the ancient flower.

Locke could immediately observe the details of the ancient flower.

The spirituality of the ancient flower, which was a fake flower, flowed around Locke like a river, constantly branching out and showing every detail to Locke.

Locke manipulated these spiritual rivers, standing within them, constantly ignoring the useless parts and drawing the useful ones to himself. “Every part of this artificial flower is full of artificial design and an imitation of nature.”

“This fake flower is almost disguising itself as a real one.” Locke sensed a certain philosophy within the Black Sun Tower. “I already understand the spiral part. The key is why this fake flower can be planted in the earth and increase both the magical tides and the soil’s nutrient levels.”

“Understanding this is crucial for the ecosystem that needs to be built for my great magic, as well as the research of two groups.”

Locke’s eyes followed the flowing river of spirituality. “Hmm? Is the secret in the roots of this artificial flower?”

Locke immediately paused the device’s deduction of the ancient flower’s overall spirituality and focused on its roots.

As his proficiency in using the Queen’s chessboard equipment increased, his experimental efficiency, research level, and related judgment were all rapidly improving.

Locke quickly determined that the roots of the ancient flower seemed to be a design borrowed by the Black Sun Tower from a special magical plant in a special plane. This was a plant that could secrete a special natural magical structural component to break down gravel into smaller pieces of soil.

There is a big difference between gravel and soil. First, the composition is simple, and second, the mineral particles are relatively large.

Its particle size is 0.05-2mm, while the particle size of soil is less than 0.002mm, which is the colloidal grade particle size.

The roots of the ancient flowers constantly secrete a variety of natural magical structural components, crushing and eroding the sand and gravel, turning it into smaller mineral particles.

This makes it possible for sand to turn into soil.

Its ancient flowers are characterized by rapid blooming and rapid withering. Once withered, they can metabolize humus into the soil, making the soil more fertile.

This may be the reason why ancient flowers made the earth more fertile, which led to the explosion of King Otto’s royal court because the system could not keep up with the progress of productivity.

A day later, Locke continued to deduce the special roots of the ancient flower through the Queen’s chessboard, and discovered that it could reorganize sand, a material composed of several inert composite element particles, into clay through the combination of seven natural magic structural components on the surface.

Locke was surprised by this because it was not difficult for alchemists to reconstruct sand into clay.

However, most of them are completed in laboratories or refining arrays, and it is difficult to achieve the same effect as the ancient flowers that spread all over the earth and affect the entire wizarding world of the past at the same time.

The manpower required is really too exaggerated.

Moreover, transforming sand into clay requires many steps, a lot of energy, and many materials for alchemists.

But the special roots of this ancient flower can complete this exaggerated transformation in a very short period of time, with very little consumption and almost without any wizard intervention.

However, Locke discovered to his regret that even though the roots of ancient flowers had such powerful functions, they still needed water to transform sand into soil.

“Water is the key. This root must have been copied from a demonic plant by the Black Sun Tower.” Locke said, “It’s a naturally occurring conversion plant.”

“Compared to artificially built, highly polluting conversion plants, this is infinitely more advanced. But even so, water is still needed, and water is still the key.”

Locke looked at the roots of the ancient flower and marveled at the great power of nature. Wizards learn from nature, come from nature, and ultimately progress with nature and become more powerful.

“I need to record the Force-level information of this special root and extract the spiritual and plant essence information. I may also need to use the three magic mirrors.”

“We can use the Force-level information obtained from the Queen’s Chessboard to print a prototype using the biomaterial modeling machine. Then, we can take it to the three magic mirrors for analysis and ultimately obtain the specific plant factors that make up the plant essence.”

Locke’s eyes were serious. “Next, I can use the finite element method to cultivate a subspecies of the demonic plant that fuses with this specific plant essence. At this point, it’s only a matter of time before I obtain a demonic plant with this special root.”

“It just takes a little effort to choose which magical plant is most suitable for combining with this special plant essence.”

In essence, as a breeder, as long as you obtain information about ancient flowers, it will be easy to obtain the various characteristics of ancient flowers.

If the ancient flowers were not real flowers but fake flowers, I could directly try to crack the reproduction and planting methods of ancient flowers and plant them directly.

But ancient flowers are not real flowers after all, and there are many problems.

Of course, I wouldn’t be so stupid as to drip my own blood on it and let it absorb my life, completing the last step of transforming from a simulation of life into real life.

Locke said: “This special root should be a powerful energy-locking structure of some kind of demonic plant in the past history.”

“It should be a new type of energy-locking structure. If I can extract a little bit of it, I’ll probably be able to get a first-class project fund.”

To a large extent, the projects of the Academy of True Knowledge are just for young first-ring wizards to practice.

This ancient flower is a magical plant that once brought a huge and devastating disaster to the wizarding world.

It is naturally easy to cut off something from this magical plant and use it in a project that is now used by researchers for training.

This is why Locke asked Mason Witch and others to relax before.

Locke looked at the ancient flower in front of him and thought: “Plants do have a huge ability to change the ecological environment.”

“I’ve read a lot of ecological data before, and I’ve found that when each major life plane is first formed, plant communities of various levels will always appear in sequence, transforming that plane, and then the life plane will take shape.”

“Plant communities are directly linked to the formation of life planes. Without plant communities, a life plane will automatically degrade and fall out of the life plane community. Therefore, plants are an important component of life magic and an important component of nature.”

Locke sighed, “Wizards can learn a lot from nature. The Tower of the Black Sun must have found this special magical plant from some special dimension. Then, they replicated the structure of this magical plant and released the ancient flower into the wizarding world, ultimately leading to a massive ecological disaster during the mortal era.”

“But water is still the key. Forget it, I’ll focus on analyzing this special root first. It will be of great use to me and enough to pass the first-class project fund. It will also be beneficial to my great magic construction.”

An idea was forming in Locke’s mind.
