Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 702

Chapter 699 The Dual Cycle of Internal and External Circulation and the Magic Weaver’s Answer Sheet

In the Silent Plane, in the far north, on a train, Wizard Smith displayed magic, impressing his gunslinger.

He quickly left the train with the gunslinger and all the cultists who had been summoned to him through the ritual.

After disembarking, they hid and evaded the watchful eyes of the world’s inspectors.

Finally, they found a stronghold of the cult: an abandoned factory.

Wizard Smith looked at his native followers with cold eyes. “I come from beyond the heavens, bringing supreme truth. Today I will impart to each of you a star-praying incantation. From now on, you must offer daily prayers, calling upon my true power from beyond the heavens to descend upon this world.”

The sixteen-year-old priestess’s eyes sparkled, as if she were looking at her idol. “God, if we follow your instructions, can we see the truth, overthrow the emperor’s tyranny, and restore civilization and freedom?”

Wizard Smith coldly glanced at her. “Just do as I say, and don’t ask questions you shouldn’t.”

His entire focus was on the Grand Magic Modeling Competition, single-mindedly determined to squeeze the other three contestants out of this world. He didn’t care about the natives’ thoughts.

In his eyes, these natives were even less valuable than the wizard laborers in his family’s illegal factories. However, they were just puppets in this competition; their thoughts didn’t matter. What

mattered was efficiency.

He needed to perfect his Grand Magic framework before others, accumulate the total magical pressure, and then attack the others, driving them out of this plane.

The Silent Grail was called both the Plane Conquest Competition and the Grand Magic Modeling Competition because the construction of Grand Magic was itself a process of plane conquest for wizards, and that was the initial reason.

Wizard Smith felt some of his previously imprisoned thoughts begin to stir. “The Silent Witch’s ultimate magic, ‘Truth,’ has been forged four times, becoming refined and solidified. The Silent Grail’s ultimate magic possesses the ability to imprison thought and seal secrets.”

“The Silent Grail’s seal on the competition’s data was broken the moment we entered the competition.”

For the sake of fairness, all spectators and participants, after leaving the Silent Dimension, will only remember the portion related to their own ultimate magic.

Everything else in this dimension is sealed by the Silent Witch’s ultimate magic, the Silent Grail.

The Silent Grail will only cease to function during the competition.

While sealing the secrets of an entire region, especially the secrets of the wizarding world, with a single ultimate magic is incredibly absurd,

even Wizard Smith couldn’t fathom how one person could possess such power.

How could one person’s magical pressure and spell model achieve such a feat?

But the Silent Witch’s ultimate magic can.

Both are ultimate magic, but there are differences in the number of times they’ve been forged and the magical support provided by the user.

Wizard Smith looked at the cultists; in his eyes, these weren’t people, but merely NPCs, production tools.

“Priestess,”

a young priestess, identical to Locke’s priestess, looked at Wizard Smith with adoration. “God, please teach me the Star Prayer Incantation. Let me feel the truth of this world and overthrow the emperor’s tyranny.”

Wizard Smith said, “I will teach you the [Sirius Prayer].”

He looked at the gunslinger and said, “I will teach you the [Mars Prayer].”

“And you, I will teach you the Arcturus Prayer… and you the Demon Aries Prayer… there are a total of one hundred and eight prayers. Each prayer requires at least ten thousand people, praying continuously day and night. Once you begin praying, you cannot stop; you must pray continuously for at least three days without food or drink. This is the so-called Three Days of Star Prayer.”

“Each prayer lasts three days, continuously, throughout your entire lives.”

He had already constructed the essence of the Celestial Meteor Grand Magic; at this moment, this magic had become his second soul, one of the sources of his magic.

In this way, a wizard can complete a dual cycle of inner and outer magic, drawing magical tides from the outside world and converting them into their own mana.

Their own ultimate magic can also generate its own magical tides, converting them into their own mana.

This is the world of the second ring.

A dual world, inner and outer.

A wondrous realm, even the current wizard Smith still needs to carefully consider and study it.

Because he has only recently become a second ring wizard, he now realizes that some of the content he previously read in books might be flawed.

Since he was only a first ring wizard at the time, he couldn’t understand the world of the second ring. Forcing an understanding through books was merely using a first-ring wizard’s mindset to approximate that of a second ring wizard.

It looked plausible, but the fundamental process was completely wrong.

‘My ultimate magic, Meteor from Outer Space, although it’s already constructed, requires the use of the natives of this world to increase the total magical pressure,’

Wizard Smith pondered. ‘Humans possess a special spirituality, and this spirituality distinguishes the human soul from the soul of an animal—that is humanity.’ “

Humanity possesses power. By borrowing these human prayers to the Astral Plane, and then using my ultimate magic—the Celestial Meteor—as gravity, I can pull the comet planes I desire from the Astral Plane. When these comet planes fall into this world, they will alter the celestial phenomena, becoming part of my ultimate magic. That eternal, magnificent meteor shower will create a natural phenomenon that increases the total magical pressure of this world.”

“Thus, my ultimate magic will become increasingly important to this world.”

“What is ultimate magic? Ultimate magic is a wizard’s asset in this world! As long as my assets are large enough, I can use them to bankrupt others with smaller assets. And people are the most productive production tools.” “

These people are the best tools to increase my assets. As long as my assets are large enough, even in this world, I can achieve great things with a small investment, turning the tables, just like those high-ring wizards who only hold a small share but can control those shop alliances with crucial power! Effortlessly, like a gazelle hanging its horns!” “

Wizard Smith pondered, ‘Therefore, my strategy for the competition is to immediately gather a group of natives in this world to perform Star-Calling Prayer for me, continuously increasing the total value of my Great Magic assets.’

The young priestess looked troubled. ‘God, we don’t have enough people. One million eight hundred thousand, our order can’t even muster a thousand devout believers.’

‘No, let alone a thousand, I’m afraid we don’t even have a hundred devout believers.’

Wizard Smith’s request seemed easy to fulfill, but in reality, it was extremely difficult: three days of prayer at a time, three days without food or drink, and then continuing for a lifetime.

The young priestess even doubted that the order she had helped God build could gather ten such devout believers.”

Wizard Smith scoffed. “Help me arrange a meeting with one of the world’s most powerful nobles. Then… under the guise of recruitment, hire factory workers. Their job will be to pray.”

The gunslinger was speechless. “Hiring?”

Wizard Smith said coldly. “Yes. Aren’t these all jobs? Whether they’re believers or not doesn’t matter, as long as they do it. As long as they’re paid, people become devout. As long as they have this belief—’Prayer is work, and you get paid for completing prayers’—my Star-Praying Incantation will succeed.”

“On my way here, I’ve seen your society, even three-year-olds cleaning chimneys, and children under ten locked in dark rooms working for you. So my job requirements are nothing.”

Gunslinger looked at Wizard Smith and said, “This… sir, even so, it’s dangerous for you to meet the great nobles of this world. Because those great nobles will inform the emperor.”

Wizard Smith said, “They won’t. I have countless benefits to promise them: immortality, beauty, and the satisfaction of their desires.”

“Alright. Priest, go and find a way to contact the great nobles and big businessmen of this city for me. These people are my potential allies.”

Wizard Smith said, “As soon as possible.”

He wasn’t sure about the progress of the other contestants.

…

In the viewing area of the Silent Grail, many wizards saw Wizard Smith’s decisive actions and nodded in approval.

Entering a world, seeking potential allies, and then quickly hiring people to begin building one’s own immense magic—

this is the standard procedure for a wizard to colonize a world.

Of course, colonization methods vary, and some cannot even be called colonization, but are collectively referred to as such due to historical inertia.

But Wizard Smith did use a very ancient, yet classic, method:

cooperating with a world’s powerful nobles. These nobles and business tycoons are most likely to cooperate with outsider wizards for some kind of benefit.

The seven Sun Ring wizards whispered amongst themselves.

“The Celestial Meteor requires a Star Prayer to help the wizard summon a comet plane from the astral plane. Once the comet plane is summoned, it will benefit the world, and the resulting comet plane cluster will become the reservoir for the total magical pressure of the Celestial Meteor.”

“How to find more Star Prayers and what comet planes to summon—these are all matters of strategy. Therefore, the Celestial Meteor is highly unpredictable. The type of comet plane formed by those 108 planes will determine the final characteristics of this powerful magic.”

“However, regardless of the outcome, in the end, there will be a cluster of 108 comet planes that will transform into a meteor shower, circulating across the sky of that world. The meteor shower composed of these 108 meteors will serve as the source of his magic. Of course, 108 is only the minimum number; this number can actually be increased further.”

“But before that, his celestial meteor was just an empty shell, so it naturally wouldn’t increase his magical pressure much.”

The seven solar ring wizards discussed, “The greatest advantage of this magic is that it can use common resources like humanity to draw a comet plane containing the power of a specific stellar plane from the astral plane.”

“The second greatest advantage is that the types of stars contained in the drawn comet plane can determine the characteristics of this ultimate magic. This makes this ultimate magic a combinatorial magic, which can be adjusted over time to obtain the desired characteristics.”

“Furthermore, this magic can also command servant races. These servant races are bound to the comet plane and are part of the comet’s power. Similarly, the natives of that world can be captured by the power of extraterrestrial meteors and transformed into servant races.”

Although these servant races are not of much significance to wizards, serving only as part of the total magical pressure storage pool

, this is actually meaningful in this competition to construct the greatest magic.

Because in this competition, wizards cannot use magic other than their greatest magic to attack other wizards.

That leaves only two choices.

The first choice is to unleash their own greatest magic on others. Greatest

magic is both the source of magic and a spell itself, the most powerful magic for a second-circle wizard.

But this method is too risky, a head-on collision, a desperate fight with no room for retreat; it’s either win or lose.

Moreover, it’s easy to misjudge the timing and fall into someone else’s trap.

Like going all in.

The second option is to use one’s own ultimate magic to empower one’s servant races, allowing them to destroy the foundations of others’ ultimate magic, thereby dismantling their ultimate magic and reducing their total asset value.

Ultimate magic is a reservoir of magical pressure, a source of magic; a clash between entire systems is too dangerous and intense, easily leading to total defeat. Therefore, participants from different ultimate magic systems can compete first.

This way, even if one loses temporarily, it won’t result in total defeat.

Of course, just as servant races are unique to the ultimate magic of bloodline wizards, servant races are unique to the ultimate magic of meteorite wizards.

Other ultimate magic may not necessarily have servant races, but they will certainly have other lower-level individuals. This is

because the essence of ultimate magic is to use a single spell to establish an energy cycle (of various types) within a world, thus becoming the source of magic.

Therefore, within this energy cycle, there must be many individuals; otherwise, it wouldn’t be an energy cycle.

Essentially, because of ultimate magic, wizards are transformed from individuals into phenomena; therefore, ultimate magic cannot be small in scale, nor can it consist of only individuals.

Therefore, all ultimate magic can be divided into many individual forms.

This is especially true for newly established ultimate magic.

Essentially, this also illustrates the high degree of separation between the wizard and their magical source.

Furthermore, at this stage, ultimate magic can even use special methods to destroy the wizard, transforming it into a universal magical source that anyone can use.

Therefore, these individual forms are the entities from which ultimate magic can compete.

A judge said, “Let’s look at the strategies of the other contestants.”

At this moment, images of the other contestants appeared on the Silent Throne, and the audience immediately looked over, eagerly studying and referencing their ultimate magic modeling experience.

In the Silent Plane, on the train, the witch Georgina raised her right hand and declined to call me “Goddess” or “Goddess Sister.” I am not a god, I am human. “

Just call me Sister.”

The young priestess paused, revealing a thoughtful expression. “But a god is a god.”

The believers behind her felt their faith crumbling.

Georgina’s attitude, however, won the gunslinger’s favor. He sheathed his weapon and said in a deep voice, “Lady Georgina, this is the name you gave me. So, you are from another world, possessing great power?” “Then

, what can you bring to our world? Why should I listen to you?”

Georgina looked at him earnestly. “Fairness. I can bring fairness, warmth, and wealth to your world. Everything ordinary people desire.”

A loom appeared behind her, working diligently. Because the Saint’s Incarnation couldn’t carry the Astral Ring, she could only use her own magical pressure as raw material, employing the magically constructed model of the Destiny Loom to weave magical garments.

Soon, one hundred magical garments were completed.

Because Georgina converted her magical pressure to weave the garments, her magical pressure decreased from 12,000 to 11,990.

Georgina then presented the thin, gossamer-like magical garments that appeared in the carriage to the cult members and the gunslinger. “Wear these clothes, they will protect you.”

“Those who wear them will be like wearing weightless armor, able to withstand attacks, increase physical strength, and enhance bodily functions.”

“I have modified the style of these clothes to suit the clothing style of your world.”

The witch Georgina said, “I am now changing the order to the Georgina Charity Association. From today onwards, our Georgina Charity Association will distribute these magical garments widely to all the poor who cannot afford clothes or housing. With these clothes, they will not be afraid of the cold, nor the freezing blizzards and rainy days…”

“This is the conscience of our magic weavers.”

The gunslinger was completely bewildered. How could the deity summoned by the saintess claim to be human, not a god, and then give them clothes?

What was going on?

The young priestess jumped up joyfully. “Great! Thank you, sister…”

“Sister, will you lead me to see the truth and overthrow the emperor’s tyranny?”

The witch Georgina hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth anyway, after all, she didn’t like to lie. “My most important goal right now isn’t this, but to get more poor people the magical robes I’m distributing for free and to get them to join my charity.”

“Isn’t it better to make these natives live better lives than to search for the truth?”

The young priestess seemed not to hear this, instead exclaiming joyfully, “Sister, you’ve finally come! I’ve been talking to you in my dreams for six years, I admire you so much. You told me that the emperor isn’t a great benefactor, just a paper tiger.”

Beneath the Silent Throne, the spectators and judges on the viewing platform were all utterly bewildered.

Because the witch Georgina had done something that seemed bizarre to everyone—using her own magic to create magical robes and then giving them to the natives of that world, instead of trying to win over the powerful nobles and businessmen, she was trying to win over the common people?

This was incredibly inefficient.

Although some wizards would use trade to first establish business with the lower classes of the colonized world, making that society heavily dependent on wizarding civilization,

this was a form of commercial colonization.

However, this is a silent Holy Grail War, so there’s no time to use such a gentle and slow method to gradually build up the maximum magic and increase the total magic pressure of the maximum magic.

Moreover, Georgina wasn’t even engaging in commercial transactions; she had actually sacrificed her magical pressure to create magical garments for the natives of that world.

The seven Sun Ring wizards on the judging panel were dumbfounded.

The Silent Grail Competition wasn’t valuable because it was a famous competition, but because it was of extremely high quality, from which many wizards could learn.

That’s why it attracted commercial sponsorship.

In the commercialized market of Cloud Swamp Wetlands, a competition without commercial value, no matter how many big names endorsed it, would only be a losing proposition.

Therefore, the higher the quality of the modeling for the ultimate spells in the competition, the better.

Normally, the ultimate spell models of wizards participating in such competitions couldn’t be bad; they would be worthy of everyone’s reference and study, becoming models.

But the ultimate spell that Georgina presented, which had never been recorded before, was somewhat incomprehensible.

One of the Sun Ring Wizards pondered, “It’s not like there’s no way to see any redeeming qualities. Hmm… being able to transform magical pressure resources into a special textile material like thread—to achieve that, one needs a profound understanding of textile science.”

“And look at how quickly she weaves her magical robes. That shows her foundation in textile science is incredibly solid. No wonder Bonifacius University chose her to participate.”

Another Sun Ring Wizard judge’s lips twitched. “Let’s wait and see, we don’t understand it yet.”

“It can’t really be that she’s sacrificing her magical pressure to benefit the ordinary people of the colonized world. That would be laughable. Besides, trying to win over the ordinary people? It’s not impossible, but that’s a long-term approach. The competition is so fierce, one wrong step and you could be kicked out of that plane. Instead of trying to win over the nobles, she’s running some kind of charity organization…”

The third Sun Ring Wizard judge said, “Look at the audience at Boniface University, those second and third ring wizards are still calm and collected. That means this situation was within their expectations.”

“Maybe the magic weavers want to show off their textile expertise, which is why they created such a controversial ultimate spell.”

“Let’s keep watching, there should be a backup plan.”

A Sun Ring Magic Weaver from Boniface University, listening to the debate among the wizards around him, curled the corners of his mouth. “This is the answer sheet that we, the Magic Weavers, have specially submitted for this competition!”

Meanwhile, in the Silent Dimension, Locke and the wizard Edgar were also beginning their own operations.
