Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 717

Chapter 714 New Route and Enemies of the World!

Although the Emperor resisted fiercely, he had to admit that Locke had persuaded him using logic he could understand.

At this moment, Locke was the master of the Mind Network, possessing the Mind Light symbolizing the Emperor; therefore, he was the Emperor of the Silent Dimension.

If the Grand Duke of Westminster did not answer the questions seriously, he would be doing the same thing as a traitor.

He did not want to be a traitor!

The Grand Duke of Westminster sighed, put his head armor back on, and said, “This is a long time ago.”

“Your Majesty,”

Locke mentally calculated the time it would take for Wizard Smith’s Great Magic to dissipate, and also the time it would take for Wizard Edgar’s Great Magic to dissipate.

If everything went smoothly, Wizard Edgar would be the first to be eliminated from this dimension.

He was also the person who posed the greatest threat to him in this competition.

And once Wizard Edgar was eliminated, there would be no use for keeping the Witch Georgina; he would immediately enter the Magic Realm and eliminate the Witch Georgina.

He needed to control the timing.

Because Wizard Smith wears a Fate-Binding Robe, once he dies, Georgina’s powerful magic will receive a portion of the misfortune and corresponding good fortune arising from his death.

While this isn’t enough for Georgina to turn the tide, it can still create some trouble for herself.

Therefore, she needs to manage her time well.

‘These opponents are all troublesome. My supernatural intuition warns me that I absolutely cannot make a second move against Edgar.’

‘Based on this, Georgina’s existence is advantageous to me. As long as Edgar’s backup plan remains unresolved, I cannot act against Georgina first.’ ‘

Otherwise, if Edgar’s backup plan is truly activated, I will be doing all the work for him.’

‘However, if Georgina isn’t eliminated, I cannot eliminate Smith first. Otherwise, I will be charging Georgina’s powerful magic.’

Locke said, ‘So, after all my calculations, my not being there, waiting for my enemies to perish on their own, is actually in my best interest.’

‘If there are no problems, they should be helpless by now.’

The Duke of Westminster looked at Locke and began to recount, “Long ago, the Silent Dimension wasn’t like this empire, nor was it the industrial civilization we have now. Back then, this world was primitive, with dozens of countries, each impoverished, and we were constantly at war…” “

Not only that, but because the void in the sky would drop down monsters resembling living beings, none of our countries could guarantee their safety, and no one could guarantee their own survival… We were all pondering our future, but no one ever thought of changing this world.”

The Duke of Westminster’s eyes were filled with a sense of reverie. “Your Majesty, can you imagine? At that moment, someone suddenly stood up and told us that true power lies in determining the future of this world, not in delving into its original state.”

“Even that ugly and dangerous sky could be covered by a canopy, creating a sky that all ordinary people in this world could love…”

The Duke of Westminster was clearly lost in some peculiar memory, his tone filled with nostalgia. “He is someone we all miss.”

Locke keenly sensed something amiss. “Us? You…who else?”

the Grand Duke of Westminster said. “Those old guys who used to follow him, including me. But now only I am left. I erased all traces of him, and made those who knew of his existence disappear as well.”

Locke was not surprised by this; this man was a tyrant.

But a tyrant was incapable of building this civilization.

So someone must have helped him build it, and he later rose to power and occupied that position.

…

In the Silent Dimension, Wizard Smith, in his extraterrestrial meteor space, sensed that the stellar power of this Great Magic was completely chaotic, and all the Star Prayers within the Great Magic had died as a result. They

could no longer help him reduce the energy dissipation rate.

At this moment, Wizard Smith calmed his mind, took out the ‘God of Gamblers’ dice from his soul, and threw them forward.

The six-sided die rolled once on the ground, and just as it was about to land a ‘1’, it suddenly rolled forward again, landing a ‘6’.

Meanwhile, in the spectator arena, at the Storm Tower, a wizard at the first stage of Crystallization threw the same die forward.

This time, the die showed a 2 facing up.

The wizard’s expression changed slightly; in an instant, his magical pressure was absorbed by the die and transferred to the wizard Smith, who was positioned at the location of the other die.

In the Silent Plane, within the Outer Meteor Space, the wizard Smith’s face lit up with surprise. He felt an external magical pressure being transmitted.

This magical pressure was timely, stabilizing a portion of the chaos within the Outer Meteor Space.

But it wasn’t enough.

He looked at the die in his hand, preparing to try again.

This was the World Wonder, the God of Gamblers’ Dice, two in total.

According to the witch Medea, two wizards could each throw them, betting against each other’s magical pressure!

As long as both wizards’ magical pressure was simultaneously input into the die and then rolled, the one with the higher number won.

The wizard who won the bet would receive the combined magical pressure of both wizards, temporarily possessing the other’s magical pressure.

Although it cannot regenerate, it allows him to temporarily possess the magical pressure of another wizard.

In other words, he can use this worldly marvel, the Soul Artifact, to gamble with wizards outside the arena and then siphon their magical pressure.

As a candidate for the next head of the Smith family and a researcher at the Storm Tower, he can control who gambles against him.

Furthermore, this die has a hidden function:

a second-circle wizard can cheat when betting against a first-circle wizard.

Because the die’s power is limited—it cannot cause rivers to overflow—the fairness of the bet only applies to wizards of the same level.

For wizards of different levels, the higher-level wizard is always invincible.

This is a conclusion he confirmed after numerous experiments with different people, so he uses it with complete confidence.

Moreover, he can have Medea cast divination magic on the wizards he gambles against, reducing their luck, thus ensuring his own perpetual invincibility.

史密斯巫师见到他找到转机，顿时哈哈大笑了起来。“哈哈哈哈……洛克，我们之间没完。虽然不知道，你为什么不乘胜追击，加速我的极大魔法崩溃，给了我喘息的时机。”

“但我会让你后悔，你让我有喘息之机。”

“美狄亚，继续找人投掷骰子。”

此时，天外流星内的另外一名风暴高塔的巫师，也是露出一脸庆幸的表情。

没想到，史密斯巫师居然还有世界奇物作为后手。

史密斯巫师一连找了三人投掷骰子。

他越赌越大，他不断将自己更多魔压输入骰子内。

每赢一次，他的魔压就会提升一些。

天外流星就会更加稳定一些。

At this moment, many wizards below the Silent Throne were astonished by what they saw.

“What is that? A World Wonder? Is it something from the colonized world?”

“World Wonders are a term used by the [New Path]. The [New Path] is a vast, endless void region with very high matter density that wizarding civilization recently encountered… There are many mid-magic planes there, and even high-magic planes, many of which are dangerous for high-ring wizards. There are many strange things there, and this strange but powerful thing was probably brought over from the [New Path] by Wizard Smith.”

“That’s not surprising. After all, it’s the Storm Tower. It has resources. This makes sense, since powerful magic can be enhanced with items. Soul artifacts are soul-bound, so they essentially enhance one’s powerful magic. For example, Locke and Georgina have second-ring artifacts in their powerful magic, and Edgar and Locke have magical plants, especially Edgar with a second-ring magical plant.”

“The ultimate magic of the Unforged stage is rarely very pure, without any external elements. It is merely a world wonder with the ability to break the rules. But it is extremely rare, and each one is priceless. I don’t think Storm Tower would invest such an expensive item in a competition like this.”

At this moment, the seven Sun Ring Wizard judges exchanged glances.

“It’s just a single-stage competition, yet they’ve used a World Wonder from the [New Route] region. Storm Tower is really going all out.”

“Using a World Wonder with Soul Artifact attributes doesn’t violate the three rules; it’s just strengthening Celestial Meteor. But finding a World Wonder that fits Celestial Meteor perfectly isn’t easy. For Storm Tower, the cost-effectiveness isn’t high; it doesn’t seem like something Storm Tower would do.”

“But there’s a problem. Is that really a World Wonder? World Wonders are unique treasures from the [New Route] region, extremely rare in the Wizarding World. Logically, World Wonders should possess the unique world principles of the [New Route]. Look at that die; although it has world principles different from the Wizarding World, it doesn’t seem to have the characteristics of the [New Route] world principles.”

A Sun Ring Wizard judge voiced his doubts.

Meanwhile, the Storm Tower audience also looked puzzled.

Because Wizard Smith had never told them he possessed a World Wonder!

The World Wonder of the [New Route] is extremely precious, and a rare item even for Storm Tower.

Logically, Wizard Smith should have informed Storm Tower after obtaining it.

At this moment, a Sun Ring Wizard from the Smith family gazed thoughtfully at the dice in Wizard Smith’s hand in the image above the Silent Throne. “That little Smith guy actually kept it a secret from both the family and Storm Tower.” “

That guy has no sense of the bigger picture.”

Another Sun Ring Wizard from the Smith family chuckled softly, “But it’s good. Storm Tower isn’t just about our family faction; there’s also the Academy faction. If they knew Wizard Smith had obtained the World Wonder, it might not have stayed with our family.”

“They might have even had to hand it over. Now that he has a trump card, it’s perfect for turning the tables.”

At this moment, the Storm Tower’s team leader, the Star Ring Wizard, also showed a look of ecstatic joy. “Well done, Smith. I didn’t expect you to have a World Wonder from the New Horizons!”

“Good, good, excellent. I think first place is out of the question, Chad, you Golden Crown Mountain guys are ruthless.”

“But second place is still possible.”

Wizard Rush and the Moon Ring Witch from Bonifacius University glanced at him with unpleasant expressions.

Wizard Rush seemed to realize something. “A World Wonder? I’ve been thinking about developing my career on the New Horizons lately, so I’ve been researching a lot of related materials. Something’s strange. That doesn’t seem like a World Wonder. I feel like it’s… a… a replica?”

Wizard Rush frowned.

He looked at the Star Ring leader. “Your Storm Towers have recently taken to making replicas of World Wonders?”

The Star Ring leader immediately frowned, his eyes fixed intently on Wizard Smith in the Silent Throne scene, who was holding a die and laughing heartily.

His expression changed slightly.

Anyone who could participate in the Silent Grail War couldn’t be a fool.

“No. Smith, stop!” The Star Ring leader, standing on the viewing platform, said hopelessly, “There’s something wrong with your dice.”

At this moment, the wizard Smith in the Silent Dimension was already in a frenzy of joy. After winning on his fifth roll, he burst into laughter. “I should have used this world artifact sooner. It truly lives up to its reputation as a treasure from the New Horizons.”

“Actually, I couldn’t have used it earlier… After all, such a good thing should be kept secret. I haven’t even told my family.”

The wizard Smith injected all his magical pressure into the dice; he was going to gamble big.

The God of Gamblers’ Dice had a hidden mechanism: both sides injected their magical pressure into the dice to gamble, with the winner taking all.

However, the magical pressure injected by both sides had to be roughly the same order of magnitude.

If one side’s magical pressure was insufficient and they lost, then that side had to compensate with their remaining possessions, such as spirituality, the light of the mind, their soul, their permanent defensive field, and everything else they owned.

At this moment, a cold glint flashed in the wizard Smith’s eyes.

At this moment, his immense magic required a massive flow of magical pressure to stabilize it, and the current magical pressure of a few first-ring crystallized wizards was simply insufficient to fill the gap.

Moreover, even if he stabilized the meteor from beyond the heavens, he would still be no match for Locke. He

should bet big.

Winning their magical pressure was one thing, but they could recover in a few days.

Only by betting everything on them and winning it all would he have enough energy to turn the tide!

Thinking this, Wizard Smith placed his palm on the dice, a greedy glint in his eyes. “I want to win more. This feeling is amazing,”

he thought. ‘My Smith family spends all day running shady factories, turning ourselves into some kind of human trafficking-like dark wizards. Thinking about it carefully, it’s not even as fast as gambling with these world wonders and winning all of someone else’s wealth.’

‘This feeling is just too good.’ “

I want more, I want even more. Medea, let them continue betting with me.”

Wizard Smith was pleasantly surprised to discover that even Great Magic could be considered an asset in this bet, and he threw the die forward.

At the same time, the witch Medea in the mortal realm smiled, pushed aside a wizard, and held the die, saying, “Smith. You have a second-ring enchantment protecting you from the spells of the School of Prophecy that could influence your mind and interfere with your judgment.”

“Wizard Smith, you can contact high-ring wizards at any time, you can check your physical condition at any time, and confirm that you are not affected by any magic.”

“Wizard Smith, you possess far too many resources to crush me.”

“But so what!”

“In this world, there are still ways for the weak to triumph over the strong. Since I can’t use magic on you, I’ll use the simplest, most primitive, and most effective method—deception. I’ll exploit your greed, setting you up to believe it’s a world wonder.”

“And then, you believe it. You dare not have it appraised by anyone, because you fear others will covet your world wonder. Indeed, world wonders are incredibly precious treasures to you. But if I truly possessed such a thing, why would I offer it to you?”

“Why?”

“Because would you give me a job where I work overtime every day and get paid for it? Hahaha… idiot.”

“Let me tell you, there are no gamblers in this world who don’t lose. The moment you gamble, you’re already on the path to defeat.”

The witch Medea threw the die forward.

The three Sun Ring Wizards of the Storm Tower instantly erupted in fury, their magical pressure crushing down on her like three mountains crushing an ant.

“Arrogant!”

“Foolish!”

“Stop! Otherwise, the Storm Tower will ensure you have no way to survive in the entire civilized world, in heaven and on earth! Your future will be ruined! You will never find a job again, you will never be able to submit an article again!”

In an instant, Medea was surrounded by enemies, facing certain death. Yet, she remained fearless, raising her forehead, her hair flying in the wind.

“Haha, I have nothing, yet I am willing to fight you

all to the death!” Now that she was a dark wizard, what did she have to fear from being an enemy of the entire white wizarding world?
