Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 693
Chapter 690 The Viren Jewel and the Smith Family’s Three Great Magics
At Quinnjoll University, atop a wizarding tower on Mount Holy Spring, a six-eyed raven suddenly entered a window and landed on the ground the instant it flew in. Its feathers transformed into a black wizard’s robe, and the raven itself became a witch. The
Six-Eyed Raven, a renowned third-ring wizard at Quinnjoll University.
Her breeding, transfiguration, botany, and prophecy all reached the third ring level; even at the third ring, she was not unknown.
However, because her skills were so diverse, while she excelled in each of the four fields, she had not attained the throne in any single one.
The werewolf guard inside the wizarding tower atop Quinnjoll University immediately bowed to the witch. “Good evening, Mrs. Candice,”
Mrs. Candice said, glancing at him. “Quidan, how far is the Chaos World from the Wizarding World?”
Quidan, a renowned second-ring Moon Ring Wizard [Watcher] from Quinnjol University, immediately replied, “Madam Candice, the Chaos Sea cannot escape my eyes. My ultimate spell, Azure Eye, was created for this purpose.”
“According to my observation, the Chaos Sea is currently in the third-to-last orbit of the Void’s near-Earth orbit,”
Madam Candice nodded. “Quidan, thank you for your hard work.”
“Continue monitoring. Report any possibility of a Chaos War breaking out prematurely to me immediately.”
This wizarding tower, located at the highest point of Mount Holy Spring, overlooks the Void and the Quinnjol region, monitoring magical reactions in various locations.
Lady Candice looked at Edgar, who had just run up the wizard’s tower, and said, “Edgar, how was the experience at the Well of Wisdom? I’m currently in charge of overseeing the Chaos War, so I’m quite busy. You don’t need to come and help me lately.”
“Edgar, you’ve taken over the materials from the project my Moon Ring Wizard’s research group spent ten years completing for you.” Edgar,
dressed in the jeweled wizarding robes of Quinnjoll University, began, “Teacher, I don’t think that ultimate magic is compatible with my style.”
Edgar thought for a moment and said, “It seems better if I were to use it myself. Besides, it’s the culmination of ten years of hard work by my senior brothers and sisters, and they just gave it to me like that…” Lady
Candice smiled, “Your confidence is precisely why I chose you as my last disciple. But Edgar, you’re still too young, and your vision is still lacking.”
“Don’t rush to refuse; why not accept it first and see if it suits your taste?”
“It’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s just that this is the result of my ten years of planning. It’s not that I’m targeting you, but even you are an excellent executor who appeared before me by chance. My team has been scheming for the Great Magic Modeling Competition for ten years and has made all the preparations. Edgar, can you accept those things?”
Edgar was about to say something, but Lady Candice flicked her sleeve, and instantly Edgar the wizard was teleported to the foot of the wizard tower.
The eyes of the Quidan werewolf seemed to contain a turquoise sky. “This Great Magic Modeling Competition is happening almost at the same time as the Five Great Wars, which is quite a coincidence. I wonder if this will cause trouble.”
Lady Candice sneered. “The Great Magic Modeling Competition has big shots from Mystic Heaven, Starfield Sea, and Green Steel City coming to watch. It would be interesting if the dark wizards jumped out at this time. Let’s see if they dare to.”
…
Golden Crown Mountain, in the dormitory of the True Knowledge Institute.
Locke looked at Daniel and asked, “Then, if a wizard who is not a weatherman, how can he create this Velen Mist?”
Daniel took out a gem from his astral ring.
The orb looked like a large pearl.
Daniel said, “This is the Velen Orb I created, containing a certain amount of light particles of the elemental ‘T’.”
“Simply placing this orb in water will create the Velen Mist.”
“I see you seem interested, so I’ll give it to you. However, there’s a usage limit. Once the light particles of the elemental ‘T’ inside are used up, you’ll need to buy more to recharge it, and magical artifacts themselves have durability issues.”
Locke nodded slightly. He simply needed to find an energy carrier medium that could enhance the energy flow of his ultimate magic blueprint system.
This was essentially just a patch to his blueprint magic.
At least during the ultimate magic construction phase, it was permissible and a very common practice. As for how to fully integrate it later, that was a problem to consider when reforging.
Or rather, it was better if he didn’t participate in the ultimate magic modeling competition. If he did, he would definitely bring some equipment.
After all, adding some equipment to one’s ultimate magic is something any wizard would do; not bringing it is like having one less piece of equipment than others.
That’s not wise.
Completely independent Grand Magic either requires multiple forgings or is too rudimentary to participate in highly competitive competitions.
Locke took the orb, examined it briefly, and after confirming there were no problems, said, “Daniel, thank you.”
“This will be very useful to me,”
Daniel said. “It’s for the Grand Magic Modeling Competition, right? So, it’s definitely for Grand Magic Modeling. I guessed it when you came to me. It’s just that I’m disappointed that this special mist is like a gel, not as practical as I thought.”
Locke glanced at Daniel, snapped his fingers, and instantly the clear water in the carefully maintained fish tank in his living room flew into the orb, causing the Velen Orb to glow with magical light.
Then, a ball of gelatinous mist began to appear.
A magical moon appeared at the top of the room, and under its moonlight, the dense mist began to flow, like water, like wind.
However, it was hazy, obscuring the moon.
Daniel looked at the moon, half-obscured by the Velen Mist, and said with slight surprise, “I see. Although the Velen Mist has very poor fluidity, it can be made fluid by intervening with the moon’s gravity.”
“Or rather, the Velen Mist’s low fluidity is actually a good thing in this situation. Because, in this way, only your lunar gravity, that is, the gravity formed from moonlight, can make the mist move according to your will. Other magic finds it difficult to make the mist move according to your predetermined plan over a large area.”
Locke smiled, “Exactly.”
“That’s why I said you really helped me a lot. Thank you, Daniel.
” Daniel nodded. “And you also gave me some new inspiration.”
Daniel fell into thought. “By the way, I heard your opponent this time is the Smith family. That’s a powerful weather-manipulation wizarding family from the Cloud Marsh Wetlands.”
“Their great magic… is all related to meteorites.”
Locke nodded and said, “Yes. I’ve seen their Great Magic data. The Smith family has three Great Magic spells passed down through generations: Great Magic: Celestial Meteor, Great Magic: Frost Comet, and Great Magic: Fiery Hellfall.” Locke
rattled off the details with ease. “The academy gave me the relevant information. The Smith family is a renowned family of weathermen, specializing in meteorology. Of course, meteorology, a subfield within the Weather Science branch of the Evocation School, is a major discipline.”
“Because meteorology originated from the wizarding leader’s land in the Central Realm [Origin Land], the Smith family is merely the authoritative weatherman group representing meteorology in the Cloud Marsh Wetlands.”
“Among them, the Great Spell ‘Frost Comet’ seems to be some kind of massive frost comet, capable of influencing celestial phenomena, causing celestial responses, and creating extreme low temperatures and blizzards.”
“Currently, their family has three second-circle wizards who use this Great Spell.”
Great Spells can have standardized forms, or rather, most wizards’ Great Spells are standardized spells.
After all, there’s a wealth of experience to draw upon when using standardized spells.
Of course, even though they are standardized spells, it seems that due to subsequent forging issues, even the same Great Spell will have slight differences.
Not to mention, wizards have a habit of fine-tuning spell models to adapt to their own souls.
Of course, this issue doesn’t need to be considered during the Great Spell modeling competition, since everyone is only at the level of a regular second-circle wizard.
There’s no need to consider the characteristics of multiple forged Great Spells.
Locke said, “The Great Magic ‘Firefall’ seems to be about a massive meteorite striking the earth in an instant, causing a huge impact on the environment. Three second-circle wizards in the Smith family also possess this Great Magic.”
“As for the Great Magic ‘Celestial Meteor,’ it’s the Smith family’s most complex Great Magic, which I didn’t quite understand. It seems most second-circle wizards in the Smith family possess this magic. The effect is also strange; the information I received was vague.”
“It’s said that a large number of meteors will fall to earth, bringing something from outer space. The effect varies depending on the wizard.”
Locke pondered, “I don’t know which meteorite Great Magic that Smith guy will choose to construct. But I imagine he won’t deviate from these three ancestral Great Magics of the Smith family.”
“Wizard families like theirs have templates to follow when constructing Great Magic, and they have the blessings of their ancestors. Under normal circumstances, they won’t change their ways.”
“Easily changing magic,” Locke said, “is unlike us common wizards who have more freedom to choose whatever Great Magic we want.”
Daniel blinked, somewhat speechless. “Ahem… Locke, you make it sound so nice. The truth is, we just learn whatever comes our way, we don’t really have much choice. Of course, now that we’re at Golden Crown Mountain, we’ll definitely have more options.”
“After all, we can just pick any attack spell and use it as our ultimate spell, it doesn’t matter. Our parents aren’t going to give us any support anyway.”
Locke said, “Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.”
Daniel said, “Anyway, the Smith family is a very famous weatherman family. Just thinking that my work has a chance to participate in the Ultimate Spell Modeling Competition and compete against that legendary weatherman family…
I feel like I’ve fulfilled my dream.”
Daniel laughed, “Back then, many people said that if the Smith family hadn’t disdained participating in the Sanze Cup, I wouldn’t have been able to win it.”
“Many people have said this over the years. Even I’ve started to doubt myself. Maybe they’re right, that true wizarding geniuses disdain participating in a competition like the Sanze Cup?”
Locke laughed, “I think that might not be the case.”
He patted Daniel on the shoulder. “The Three Swamps Cup hides immense honor and resources. Daniel, I don’t believe the Smith family wizards would stoop to participating in such a competition.”
“You are the most outstanding first-ring weather wizard in the Three Swamps Lands. I believe you are. You won the Three Swamps Cup fair and square; don’t let the opinions of those wizards who dare not directly compare themselves to you cause you to doubt yourself.”
The little witch Helen, whom Daniel had brought along, listened silently, too astounded by Locke’s conversation with her teacher.
She couldn’t understand it at all.
The Three Swamps Cup was already a highly prestigious first-ring competition, even surpassing the Cloud Swamp Cup.
But compared to the Silent Holy Grail, it was incomparable.
Daniel the Wizard was somewhat excited. “So, I’m giving you the Orb of Velen. Because I guessed your purpose.”
“Locke, I want to prove something to the world. Those weathermen from the Smith family aren’t necessarily better than me. I missed the Silent Grail, but I can offer you advice. I heard that participants in the Great Magic Modeling Competition can have advisory teams.”
Daniel the Wizard volunteered, “Why don’t you take me with you? I don’t want to miss the opportunity to spar with a wizard from the Smith family from afar.”
Locke hesitated for a moment, but then thought that having such an excellent wizard as Daniel as his advisor seemed quite good.
The Smith wizard had even brought Medea the Witch as his advisor; he himself seemed to have a research group as his advisors.
So, bringing in a champion from the Three Swans Cup as his external brain didn’t seem unreasonable.
Locke pondered, “If you have the time and don’t have any projects to finish urgently, that would be great. I really don’t know much about weathermen.”
“Speaking of which, I don’t know much about my opponent from Bonifacius University. I’ve only seen the information the academy provided; I don’t know much about her character. As for Edgar… I beat him once in the Cloud Cup.”
Locke said, “I’ll ask Diana if she’d be willing to be part of my advisory team. Although we’re not from the same school.”
He had just sent the message when Diana replied a moment later. ‘This kind of opportunistic behavior reminds me of those wizards in the Nexus.’
‘Locke, I don’t want to be isolated by my school. Other competitions are fine, but I can’t just take sides in the Silent Holy Grail Tournament.’
‘I refuse.’
Locke blinked. “She refused? But are all the people in Nexus opportunists? I thought only the Witch Camilla had that kind of personality, it seems her environment has influenced her.”
Wizard Daniel said, “She is, after all, a wizard from Boniface University, Locke.”
Locke thought for a moment, then sent a message to the Witch Preston, asking if she was familiar with the witch from Boniface University.
The Witch Preston replied very quickly. “Little Locke, I’m currently traveling the colony world, enjoying the life of the White Dragon Queen who rules the entire world. Don’t message me for now, I need to immerse myself in this enjoyment.”
Locke was completely bewildered.
What the heck?
Soon, the Witch Preston sent him another message. ‘Oh, that person. I met her when I went to Quinnjoll for a lecture before, I’ll tell you about her sometime.’
Daniel leaned closer and looked at Locke, “Locke, your entry requirements are really strict. Your two teammates… Antoine, Preston… neither of them are normal.”
Daniel looked at Locke with pity. “It seems you truly need my wisdom.”
Locke looked at him, raising an eyebrow.
Your wisdom?
That person just climbed out of a honey trap not long ago.
