Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 684

Chapter 681: Has the former immortal ruler been resurrected again?

Locke did not indulge Witch Camilla and sent her a message directly, warning her: “Watch your tone. This is not the attitude you should have with your collaborators.”

On the Water Hyacinth System panel, Witch Camilla did not respond immediately.

But after a while, the witch Camilla sent a message. ‘I’m sorry, I lost my composure just now.’

“Locke, for the sake of our first pleasant transaction, please tell me, do you have any way to get Longguan peaches?”

Locke glanced at the message he had just sent to Witch Ekaterina, requesting whether he could trade for a Longguan Peach.

Witch Ekaterina immediately refused. “Longguan Peach is Jinmian Mountain’s asset. I have a special contract with Jinmian Mountain. Jinmian Mountain pays a certain amount of resources for my Longguan Peach Garden to maintain and upgrade it. The output of Longguan Peach Garden is strictly controlled by Jinmian Mountain.”

“It’s impossible to give Longguantao to a first-ring wizard. However, you don’t need Longguantao either.”

The witch Ekaterina sent a message: “Also, regarding the great magic, I want to tell you two things.”

“First, the owner of the Ambergris Peach Garden, one of the Twelve Peaches of Golden Crown Mountain, a Moon Ring Wizard, was killed by a Three Ring Wizard from the Twin Demon Realms. The Ambergris Peach Garden has automatically flown back to Golden Crown Mountain. This garden is equivalent to half a maximum magic. Using it to build your own maximum magic can save you a lot of resources.”

“Currently, the Senate, the Academic Committee, and the Deacon Inspection Team are all vying for the ownership of this Peach Garden. Do you want it? If you need it, I can spend a certain amount of resources to fight for it for you. Of course, I will need to spend a certain amount of resources, but you don’t have to worry about these things.”

“Secondly, the Great Magic Modeling Competition is coming up soon. At the request of Gaia Academy President, I have invited the Golden Crown Mountain contestant from the previous Silent Holy Grail Competition for you. Please come to my place in a week.”

“The contestant ten years ago was a wizard from Luxu Bridge, and now the opponent is a Yuehuan wizard.”

Locke was stunned for a moment. Ten years ago, the wizard who represented Jinmianshan to participate in the competition was actually Luxuqiao, and this time the other party was willing to help Jinmianshan and come to guide him.

By the way, Witch Ekaterina mentioned before that Luxu Bridge and Jinmian Mountain have a special relationship. People only think of the two as constantly fighting, but rarely notice that Luxu Bridge and Jinmian Mountain have always fought but never broken, maintaining a close relationship.

In the eyes of the White Wizard Association, these two wizard academies are still a wizard university.

Locke thought for a moment and sent a message to the witch Ekaterina. ‘Teacher, after I take the Ambergris Peach Garden, will I be able to escape from Golden Crown Mountain? Also, how will this peach garden affect my great magic?’

Witch Ekaterina sent a message saying, “No. Ambergris Peach Garden is a high-quality fixed asset of Golden Crown Mountain, passed down for thousands of years. It is impossible for a wizard to take it away.”

“Ambergris can grant a wizard special vitality and possess various magical benefits. Simply put, it can repair a wizard’s body and spirit, even if both are severely polluted. The characteristics of the Ambergris Garden will greatly affect your magic.”

After careful consideration, Locke refused. “Teacher, I’m sorry. I don’t think I need Ambergris Garden.”

To become a second-ring wizard, you only need to build a huge magic.

The framework of his first great magic has been completed. In the Moon of Evolution, as long as it is combined with Tao Hu Ji Shi’s spell model, he will have a spell model framework for attack magic.

At this time, if he added Ambergris Peach Garden, he would undoubtedly be forced to adjust the spell model framework to make way for this so-called thousand-year inheritance.

Moreover, once I take this thing, I am afraid I will never be able to leave Jinmian Mountain in this life.

Therefore, it is better for me to refuse.

The witch Ekaterina didn’t seem surprised. “I see.”

Locke sent a message to Witch Camilla. ‘The Longguan peach is a valuable asset of Jinmian Mountain. I can’t help you get it.’

Witch Camilla said, “How disappointing. Then the deal between us is canceled.”

Locke hesitated. “Camilla, bring your sister here. I may have another way to help her solve the problem.”

“Of course, I’m just saying it’s possible. Just take her to the Quetzalcoatl Pavilion.”

Locke blinked his right eye, and through his vision, he saw the special stone spirit in his demiplane.

He still had a large amount of blank spiritual energy left to use. If he took out a part of it and merged it with the spiritual energy of Witch Camilla’s sister through the full moon growth spell model, he might be able to recover the part of her human spiritual energy that was stolen from her.

…

In the underground floor of the castle of Shoutao Garden in Jinmian Mountain, in an empty secret room, a door to another dimension appeared.

The next moment, Douglas walked out of this dimension. His face was gloomy, his wizard robe was tattered, and there was a wound on his left arm, which was oozing black pus and some foul-smelling substance.

The demonic pressure in Douglas’ body was extremely chaotic. “Damn it, how could there be a giant void snake in it?”

“Teacher, I almost died in that dimension.”

The voice of the Witch King Lagmamon reached his ears. “Void creatures can survive in the void. That was a young snake, possessing only ordinary second-ring magical pressure. It must have been blown into the plane where I hid my treasure by the currents of the void.”

“That young snake was hibernating and just attacked you unconsciously. Otherwise, you would have died in there by now.”

Douglas was a little terrified. “What should I do?”

The Witch King Lagmamon whispered, “That young snake is lying on top of my treasure house. If I don’t get rid of it, I won’t be able to take the treasure house.”

“If you want to quickly reach the first ring crystallization stage, you need to obtain the special resources in the treasure house. However, if you want to deal with that young snake, you must have the help of a second ring wizard.”

Douglas was delighted. “Teacher, by possessing my body, wouldn’t it be possible for you to unleash the combat power of a second-ring wizard?”

The Witch King Lagmamon said, “No. The Twin Demon Realms may be related to the Tower of Black Sun. They are currently in the low-Earth orbit of the Wizarding World. I cannot risk helping you at this critical moment.”

“There are so many high-level wizards in Golden Crown Mountain. You can just pick any one.”

Douglas frowned in confusion. “There are many high-ring wizards in Golden Crown Mountain, but if I seek someone else, I’ll have to share the treasure with him. Besides, I’m only a first-ring wizard. If I collaborate with a second-ring wizard, I’d be courting disaster. Whether I even get a share of the treasure is another matter.”

“Unless… unless I invest in advance and become friends with a second-ring wizard when he’s at the first-ring stage. Build a good rapport with him in advance.”

The Witch King’s voice came to his ears. “That’s one solution. You can decide for yourself. The spell to enter this secret room is in your mind anyway.”

Douglas recalled the person in Golden Crown Mountain who was most likely to become a second-ring wizard and had a close relationship with him. In an instant, a person appeared in his mind – Locke Augustine.

Douglas left the secret room and pretended to be just strolling in the Longevity Peach Garden. Occasionally, when he ran into servants and wizard apprentices in the castle, he looked calm and as if it was a matter of course.

There was no guilt at all, so as to avoid being noticed.

Douglas thought to himself, “Do I have anything that can attract Locke Augustine? Not much. However, my teacher once taught me how to create a kingdom domain.”

“Perhaps the wizard will be interested in this knowledge.”

“Alright, let’s first find a way to befriend them. My talent is limited, and whether I can successfully crystallize my spiritual power depends on the special resources within that treasure house. And to open that treasure house, I need the help of a second-ring wizard.”

“Then I can only place my hope on Locke. Or I can wait for the Demon World War to be over, but I heard that the Demon World War will last for quite a long time.”

…

On the third day, in the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion, Locke saw the witch Camilla and her silly sister in a quiet room.

Witch Camilla looked at Locke nervously and asked, “Locke, do you have any solution?”

Locke checked her sister’s condition. “This is indeed not something that an ordinary potion master can cure.”

“I’m not completely sure either. I can only say that I’ll try my best to help you.”

Witch Camilla hesitated for a moment and said, “I have brought a sufficient amount of natal witch porcelain this time. As long as you can help me heal her, I will trade these natal witch porcelain to you.”

“Each one only costs two hundred thousand magic stones.”

Locke nodded. Two hundred thousand magic stones was still quite reasonable, and should even be just a cost price.

Generally speaking, the price of a crystal-level magic weapon is about 100,000 magic stones, while those of better quality cost more than 100,000 magic stones.

As the most advanced research achievement of the Demonic Hub City, the natal witch porcelain is not expensive at these 200,000 magic stones.

This thing doesn’t belong to Witch Camilla either, so the other party can only choose to trade with her, but cannot give it to her.

Otherwise, she won’t be able to pay the bills.

It seems that she is under a lot of pressure to be able to bring such a large number of natal witch porcelain.

Locke turned over his palm and saw a magical moon appear in the palm of his right hand, and the bright moonlight danced between his fingers.

Witch Camilla’s eyes widened. “Is this spell’s perfection… so high?”

Her eyes looked a little confused.

This magic moon was so perfect in her eyes, so close to the real moon, and the complexity of its magic model was so high that she could not imagine it.

It’s even difficult to understand.

She raised her head and looked at Locke in surprise, unable to believe that Locke had used this spell to deal with her jungle of carnivorous plants.

In less than half a year, Locke has improved so much.

A hint of admiration appeared in Witch Camilla’s eyes. Compared to this, she had made almost no progress in the past few months.

“Locke, the complexity and perfection of your spell model made me think it was a huge magic at first glance.”

“My master’s ultimate magic is only this level.”

“Unfortunately, there is still a missing World Stone.”

Witch Camilla sighed, “I will subscribe to this year’s Silent Grail Tournament.”

“But how is it, can my sister be cured?”

At this moment, Locke absorbed the spirituality of the stone spirit in the demiplane in his right eye, and merged it with the moonlight, turning it into moonlight, which fell on the body of Camilla, the witch’s sister.

The spirit of this witch is refusing to combine with the spirit of the moon essence, but the degree of rejection is not very high.

A minute later, the two successfully merged.

In just a moment, her sister suddenly raised her head, as if someone who had been sleeping for a long time suddenly woke up.

The witch looked up at Carmilla in surprise. “Sister?”

“No, Lady Camilla.”

The witch remembered that Witch Camilla once told her that in the Demonic Nexus City, she should not call her sister but use a respectful title, so she quickly changed her words.

Witch Camilla was initially surprised, but then showed a look of surprise.

She looked at Locke and said, “Locke, thank you. I didn’t expect you to have such a solution.”

“It’s hard to believe that you can solve a problem that so many potion masters can’t solve.”

The witch looked at Locke, her eyes suddenly confused, and then she said, “Master?”

“No, why should I call you Master?”

The witch covered her head, seeming to have a severe headache. “Ah, my head hurts.”

Witch Camilla immediately turned to look at Locke, her eyes full of anger. “Locke, didn’t you say you would heal my sister?”

“What’s going on?”

Locke had previously tried a last-ditch effort by fusing his special spirituality with the witch to replace the part of her spirituality that had been stolen.

But who knows, this will happen.

Moreover, judging from the situation just now, human spirituality and special spirituality cannot be integrated, just like water and fire.

If this witch had not had part of her human spirit stolen and was in a state of transformation from human to beast, I am afraid that I would not be able to use the full moon to grow and merge the special spirit with hers.

Locke looked at Witch Carmilla and said, “Don’t worry. Your sister has at least regained her sanity. Did you see that?”

Witch Camilla showed a speechless expression. “She restored her rationality. But she’s still under your mental control. What methods did you use?”

“Don’t think we’re easy to bully. You… you… you’re mentally controlling a white wizard. If I go to the Holy Wizard Court, you’ll definitely get into trouble!”

Witch Camilla instinctively wanted to threaten, but thinking of Locke’s Full Moon Growth move just now, she felt that she was no match for Locke no matter what, so she turned around and said that she wanted to go to the Holy Master’s Court.

Locke frowned. At this time, Camilla, the witch’s sister, covered her head and sat on a stool.

“After merging with a special spirit, will it spontaneously form loyalty to me?”

“This should be related to the Stone Spirit itself. However, I still don’t know what the Stone Spirit is. According to the information I have read, it is neither an indigenous god nor a totem god. I don’t know what it is.”

“In short, this thing has formed a loyalty to me, and the person/thing that merges with its spirit will also form a loyalty to me. But it seems that the identity of ‘human’ and this thing is in conflict, so I can’t merge this spirit with ‘human’.”

Locke thought of something and suddenly reached out and pressed his hand on the forehead of Camilla’s sister, the witch, and then pulled the special spirit out of her.

In just a moment, her sister’s eyes became dull again, and she sat in the chair in a daze.

Locke found the half-dragon clerk of the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion and asked for a white mouse for testing medicine. Then Locke merged his special spirituality with the white mouse, but the two could not combine at all.

“Can it only fuse with plants?”

“The witch just now didn’t combine the special spiritual power I gave her. It was only because of the characteristics of the Zero Potion that it was attached to her body. Therefore, it can’t be said that a spiritual fusion occurred.”

“Thus, this witch is caught in the dilemma of whether to obey me or not. If she were to fully merge, she would be more loyal to me now.”

‘This special spirit can only merge with plants.’

Locke understood.

But as long as you make good use of this mechanism, you can make all the magical plants affected by your evolution moon actively transform into things loyal to you.

Seeing her sister return to her original form, Witch Camilla immediately became anxious. “Locke, what are you doing? I just said a few words to you casually, why did you let my sister return to her original form?”

Locke was speechless.

He said bluntly, “You were the one who was upset just now, thinking I was manipulating your sister. But with my current abilities, this is the only way I can save your sister.”

“At worst, she can just stop seeing me. As long as she doesn’t see me, she won’t fall into that conflicted state.”

“But if you mind, there’s nothing I can do.”

Witch Camilla was in doubt. “You really can’t get the Longguan peaches?”

“Witch Ekaterina is your teacher. And she loves you very much.”

Locke coughed. “I’m just her co-witch. She treats me the same.”

Locke gave her a strange look. “I really don’t know what you’re talking about. The teacher is a Three Ring Throne Wizard. What can I do? I have to go to Longguantao.”

Witch Camilla sighed and fell into a dilemma.

She looked at her sister who was in a daze, “Alright then. Even if I’m under your mental control, at least I can become a normal person for now.”

“At most, I can take her away from you. Distance is the best defense against special magic. At worst, I can send her to another wizarding land.”

“With such a huge barrier, I don’t believe your magic can still work.”

“Also, you can use the sealing magic of the protection school.”

Witch Camilla said: “Locke, then you control my sister again…”

Locke reminded her, “Watch your words. I’m a legitimate potion master, and I’m just treating your sister. Don’t act like I’m trying to control the mind of an ordinary first-ring wizard.”

“What’s the point of me controlling a wizard of this level?”

What’s more, when the other party sees me, he will fall into a special state of mental contradiction and basically become disabled.

Locke put a portion of Zero Potion into her forehead, and immediately the witch’s eyes became conscious again.

She raised her head and looked at Witch Camilla and Locke. “Sister… Master…”

Witch Camilla’s eyes were a little excited just now, but now she pursed her lips and looked at Locke questioningly.

“Didn’t you say you weren’t interested in mind-controlling ordinary first-ring wizards?”

Locke shrugged.

The reason why he didn’t care and spent most of his special spirituality on this witch was not only because he really needed a large amount of his own witch porcelain, but also because the Zero Potion was an unobtainable and rare resource for him now.

But as long as he enters the Silent Holy Grail Tournament, he will be able to become a second-ring wizard immediately.

After all, I have used the Second Ring Road Experience Card twice before.

As long as you become a second-ring wizard, you can use the bronze tripod and reverse refining method to refine the zero potion.

And this step is also the key step in constructing great magic.

Therefore, at this moment, for the sake of a large amount of his own witch porcelain, it was not a loss for him to give the large amount of special spirituality inside the stone spirit to the witch Camilla’s sister.

Witch Camilla exchanged a few words with her sister, and she was relieved to find that except for her sister’s strange behavior of intermittently calling Locke “Master” and questioning why she called Locke “Master” after seeing Locke, everything else was normal.

But her memory seemed to still be stuck at the time of the magic fighting competition.

The witch asked Camilla nervously, “Sister, has the dark wizard from the Twin Demon Realm left? Are we safe now?”

“The dark wizard said he wanted to steal my gift. Also, an ancient spirit that possessed me wanted to steal it too.”

Witch Camilla immediately asked, “Who is that dark wizard? Do you know his name? No… you definitely don’t know. Do you know what he looks like?”

The witch pondered, “I do remember what he looked like.”

Witch Camilla’s eyes flashed with ecstasy.

As long as the dark wizard can be found, there will be a chance to return what he stole from his sister.

Camilla said, “It’s no problem. I’ll ask the magic painter for help and quickly draw his portrait.”

Locke then asked the witch, “What ancient spirit is possessing you? Which era is it from? What’s going on?”

The witch looked at Locke respectfully and said, “Master, there was once an ancient spirit from the Age of Stars that possessed me. With its help, I soon became a First Ring Wizard.”

Witch Camilla was surprised and asked, “How come I don’t know these things?”

The witch said guiltily, “The spirit said this matter is of great importance, so it won’t let me speak.”

“Strange, why should I call you Master…”

The witch was once again in a state of contradiction.

Locke fell into deep thought. “Back then, when the Twin Demon Realms suddenly attacked the Spell Combat Tournament, their primary purpose wasn’t to disrupt the sports competitions held at Mount Golden Crown, but to capture the ancient spirits awakened from the Age of Stars?”

“How could these ancient spirits survive the passage of time without dying? The souls of third-ringed wizards are immortal, let’s not talk about that for now, but what about second-ringed wizards? Is it the second-ringed or the third-ringed that possessed Camilla’s sister?”

‘So, could it be that the undead lich rulers of the past have risen again?’
