Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 718

Chapter 715 Everyone is winning, only Smith is losing!

The dice in Medea’s hand and the dice in Smith’s hand flew into the air together.

Smith rolled a ‘1’, while Medea rolled a ‘6’.

Prophecy Magic—Identification Charm! This spell upgrades

one’s spiritual identification from a first-ring wizard to a second-ring wizard, allowing them to gamble fairly with a second-ring wizard the moment the [Dice of the Demon Realm] is rolled.

Most importantly, this isn’t some kind of ‘New Horizon’ world wonder; its full name is the Demon Realm Dice, a dimensional organ of the Twin Demon Realms.

In other words, the Twin Demon Realms can decide the roll, or they can completely ignore it. It

all depends on whether the Twin Demon Realms are willing!

At this moment, Smith was still immersed in his beautiful fantasy of a comeback, hence his wild laughter, a truly unrestrained laugh echoing in the subspace of the outer meteor shower.

He directly used a weather-related spell, the [Thousand Mile Storm Spell], to send a message to Locke. At the same time, his magical pressure was rapidly increasing, almost reaching 12,000.

“Locke, the match isn’t over yet. Let’s fight again!”

“Hahaha… I’m back!”

The die in front of him transformed into a spiral cavity like a black hole, with sharp teeth growing along its inner walls, and three opposing world principles.

The three were different inside and out.

The outer world principle quickly became like the Silent Plane, the middle world principle imitated the world principle of the Wizarding World, and the innermost world principle was the world principle of the Twin Demon Realms themselves.

These three nested world structures formed a world-devouring organ that was extremely rare even in the endless void.

The Twin Siphon Organ.

The Wizard Smith’s maniacal laughter suddenly stopped. “This is… the Twin Siphon Organ of the Demon Realm? Oh no. I’ve fallen for their trap. Medea, you’ve ruined me!”

“Locke, your victory was unfair!”

The Wizard Smith roared in resentment, and at the same time, he turned to escape the outer meteor space.

He forgot that, firstly, he had already wagered all his magical pressure and ultimate magic on the dice.

Now it seemed that this action was essentially placing his ultimate magic into the mouth of the Twin Siphon Organs of the Twin Demon Realm.

Secondly, the meteor from outer space was his ultimate magic, a part of his soul; where could he possibly go?

A tongue curled out from the black hole cavity—it was none other than the Fourth World Principle.

Wizard Smith was completely engulfed by that tongue and then swallowed by the Twin Siphon Organs.

Swallowed.

His entire body!

From magical pressure to concepts, to ultimate magic.

At the same time, the Witch Medea was also swallowed by the Twin Siphon Organs, allowing her to escape the attacks of the three solar-circle weather wizards from the Storm Tower.

Meanwhile, in the projection above the Silent Throne, after Wizard Smith was eaten, his dice sneezed, spitting out the Witch Medea.

At the same time, the die also spat out a World Stone from the Silent Plane, which was given to the witch Medea.

The many wizards watching below the Silent Throne stared wide-eyed at this scene.

A moment of complete silence followed. Then,

the first wizard led the applause. “This competition was absolutely fantastic! My 150,000 magic stones were well spent!”

The Moon Ring wizard’s applause was followed by all the wizards in his laboratory who had come to watch the competition.

Next, many white wizards, after a brief moment of astonishment, simply laughed and began to applaud.

Some genuinely found the competition exciting.

Others had been tricked in their previous collaborations with the Storm Tower.

The Storm Tower routinely and ruthlessly canceled services they provided, so quite a few wizards had been cheated by them.

Seeing this, many wizards almost burst out laughing.

Moreover, many of the Smith family’s businesses are in the gray market. In fact, many wizards present possess evidence of the Smith family’s shady dealings, but they dare not submit it due to the power of the Storm Tower.

In the Storm Tower’s audience area, a Sun Ring wizard from the Smith family looked grim. “The Twin Demon Realms? Have they gone mad? They can’t even distinguish their own enemies.”

“Are they ingrates? We’ll withdraw immediately…”

Another Sun Ring wizard from the Storm Tower whispered, “Watch your words. This is the outside world, not our personal fiefdom. But since it was the Twin Demon Realms who did it, little Smith shouldn’t be in any danger.”

“The Twin Demon Realms aren’t a bloodthirsty group of dark wizards. They’re just a group of petty thieves. They steal and then try to sell it. The free market is large, but it’s still under the control of the Storm Tower. As long as they want to sell it, we can buy Wizard Smith back.”

“But…”

It’s always been the Smith family that trafficked others; they never expected that today, in front of everyone, the Twin Demon Realms would traffic their Smith family.

The human traffickers had actually been kidnapped!

The Silent Grail tournament committee and the seven Sun Ring Wizard judges exchanged glances.

“I knew it; it couldn’t be a World Wonder. While I don’t know the details, something’s fundamentally wrong. It’s unlikely Storm Tower would invest a World Wonder in this competition, though we’d be happy to see it happen.”

“A World Wonder can generate a lot of buzz, which would certainly bring a lot of attention to our competition. That’s far more effective than the concert we had a Moon Ring wizard bard perform for us a few days ago.”

“Should we do something about it? After all, this happened within our competition.”

“Do something? Every wizard who’s been a second-ring wizard for over ten years knows the relationship between Storm Tower and the Twin Demon Realms. What does it have to do with us?”

A Sun Ring wizard judge calmly approached a first-ring crystallized wizard staff member and said, “Sorcerer Smith has already left the competition, but his qualification was stolen by the Twin Demon Realms and given to that witch. That witch was just an ordinary first-ring Extreme Magic Suppression witch before. So our competition committee has no objection to her participating.”

“Go and ask Storm Tower if they want to disqualify her and force her to withdraw from the competition.”

“What happens to her after she gets out is none of our tournament committee’s business.”

In the Storm Tower’s spectator area, the Smith family quickly received inquiries from the Silent Grail Tournament Committee.

Some of the Storm Tower’s academic wizards immediately addressed the first-ring crystallized member of the committee: “Immediately withdraw that witch from the competition. We need to take her back to Storm Tower for questioning.”

The Smith family’s sun-ring wizard’s expression changed slightly. He asked the staff member, “If we disqualify that witch, could we allow a second Storm Tower wizard to join the competition?”

The first-ring crystallized wizard bowed, a hint of embarrassment on his face. “My lord, there has never been a precedent for the Silent Grail. Moreover, Wizard Smith of Storm Tower was mainly lured away by the Twin Demon Realms because of his own choice.”

“Therefore, this doesn’t count as interference from external factors.”

The Smith family’s Sun Ring Wizard said coldly, “Then your tournament committee should hold a meeting and discuss whether we should send another wizard to join the competition in this situation.”

“In any case, there is a third-party force involved. It would be inappropriate for Storm Tower to withdraw from the competition like this.”

The staff member at the first crystallization stage bowed respectfully and said, “My lord, the Silent Grail cannot be suspended. There is simply no time to hold a meeting and vote.”

“Therefore, if Storm Tower is determined to disqualify that witch, then we can only accept this ranking.”

The two Smith family Sun Ring Wizards fell into deep thought.

On the other side, a Moon Ring wizard from the Storm Tower Academy spoke up directly, “Then disqualify her from the competition.”

“Just a dark wizard, we should immediately send her to the wizarding prison.”

Two Sun Ring wizards from the Smith family’s expression changed slightly.

According to the usual internal power struggles, whatever the academy wizards approve of, they must oppose.

Moreover, this competition was being participated in by a Smith family wizard, representing their family’s faction.

Therefore, a poor result would be a loss of face for their family’s faction.

After discussion, the two Sun Ring wizards finally said to the staff, “Don’t disqualify her.”

“Let’s consider her a participant from our Storm Tower. But even so, will she pass the Silent Grail’s approval?”

The staff member bowed respectfully again. “The Twin Siphon Organs of the Twin Demon Realms stole Wizard Smith’s right to participate.”

“In material terms, this is recognition of his eligibility to participate in the Silent Grail. Therefore, in the Silent Grail’s judgment, that witch is currently Wizard Smith himself. Her performance in the Silent Dimension can also determine her ranking in the Storm Tower competition.”

The two Sun Ring Wizards of the Smith family nodded, forced to accept this bizarre situation.

Both wizards had strange expressions.

Damn little Smith.

In the history of the Silent Grail, he’s the first to lose his own eligibility.

In the history of the Smith family, he’s also the first to be publicly kidnapped and sold off. They

‘ll probably have to buy him back on the black market later.

Ultimately, it’s all because he was too foolish, being completely fooled by a little witch who hasn’t even reached the second ring.

The key point is that, prior to this, no one had anticipated that a descendant of a high-ranking official from the top wizarding university in Yunze Wetlands would actually believe the lies of a lowly dark witch from a remote area, and be completely fooled by her pure deception.

At this moment, two Sun Ring Wizards from the Smith Wizarding Family were already connecting to the shop interfaces of the alliance within the Yunze Wetlands’ Water Hyacinth System, searching for magical rings similar to lie detector rings.

They needed to equip their juniors with these.

However, both of them simultaneously thought, what if the dark wizards were carrying magical artifacts that could interfere with the lie detector rings?

So, they also needed a set of magical artifacts to detect whether the other party was carrying any special magical items…

No…

the Smith family’s Sun Ring wizards were exasperated.

This was far too complicated, practically endless.

Ultimately, it stemmed from a lack of wisdom.

If the Smith family’s descendants lacked wisdom themselves, how many magical artifacts and how many people would be needed to prevent being deceived?

Realizing the high cost, the two Sun Ring wizards immediately stopped this pointless endeavor.

…

In the Silent Plane, the witch Medea held the World Stone, overjoyed. Looking at the World Stone in her hand, she tossed it into her Great Magic Blueprint spell.

Soon, she too broke through to the Second Ring.

A voice appeared in her ear. “Medea, our cooperation has been very pleasant. Your Spiral Basin dark wizards truly live up to their reputation as the elite of the Eastern Realm. Dark wizards from the Spiral Basin are indeed all elites.”

“You did a great job. Even exceeding my expectations.”

“You initially approached me wanting to cooperate and help me kidnap the offspring of a high-ranking member of the Storm Tower. The only reason I agreed was because you guessed the true relationship between the Storm Tower and our Twin Demon Realms. As a reward, I decided to test you.”

“But I didn’t expect you to actually succeed. So, I’ll take this little Smith with me.”

“As a reward, here’s the virtual World Stone for you. Just a friendly reminder: this isn’t the real World Stone.”

Medea smiled bitterly. “Thank you, Master Thief.”

She knew she had been abandoned by the Twin Demon Realms’ Master Thief.

She had kidnapped the offspring of a high-ranking member of the Storm Tower in full view of everyone, and even this renowned Master Thief of the Twin Demon Realms didn’t want to get involved in her affairs anymore.

Of course, it wasn’t out of fear.

It wasn’t because her value was insufficient that the Thief Saint Wizard found it troublesome to get involved.

The Thief Saint Wizard’s voice suddenly appeared in her ear. “Oh, right. If you can survive and take the real World Stone away in this competition, then you can come find me.”

“I can give you a good future.”

The Thief Saint Wizard’s playful voice rang out. “To be honest, I actually admire your character. If you hadn’t refused to truly join our Demon Realm several times, I could have helped you.”

The Thief Saint Wizard’s voice completely disappeared.

Medea Witch calmed down. She had finally obtained the World Stone from the Silent Grail and constructed her own Great Magic.

Of course, the Great Magic was only successfully constructed, making her a Second-Ring Wizard; she couldn’t yet manifest in the Silent Dimension.

In this way, she gained access to the top-tier benefits of the First Ring of the Cloud Swamp, originally only available to researchers from the seven top universities of the Cloud Swamp.

She had gained an opportunity to simulate the construction of Great Magic.

Next, she had to find the real World Stone in this world and then find a way to escape.

Medea Witch focused her mind.

Although she is currently surrounded by enemies, besieged on all sides, and a single finger from one of them could crush her hundreds of times over,

she is nothing but an ant before them. But precisely because she is an ant, her insignificance gives her the opportunity to maneuver and survive.

She is just an ordinary witch of average birth, average talent, bad luck, and unwillingness to work hard. She has reached this point entirely through sheer grit.

In the Land of the Six Towers, she attracted the attention of the Grand Wizard Sura through her adventures, becoming his tool and offending all the family wizards of the Land of the Six Towers in the process. Ultimately, she was made a scapegoat by the Grand Wizard Sura and forced to flee the Land of the Six Towers with great difficulty.

In the Spiral Basin, she offended many people for the same reason.

And now, she is once again walking a tightrope.

Unlike a prodigy like Wizard Smith, she has no room for error.

Every step she takes is on the edge of a knife, and she herself doesn’t know if there will be a tomorrow.

At this moment, within the world-class legal realm, Georgina the Witch, draped in the robes of a wandering judge, revealed a look of surprise in her blue eyes beneath her wooden mask.

“This can’t be happening!”

“My understanding of the School of Prophecy and the new weaving magic is still not deep enough; my research and understanding of the world’s principles that form the web of fate are still superficial. That’s why I mistakenly believed that misfortune has an upper limit. Because a person’s greatest misfortune is death.”

“But Wizard Smith taught me a lesson with his own life. It turns out that a person’s greatest misfortune isn’t death, but having everything taken away and being kidnapped!”

“But in this way, I can obtain the fortune corresponding to the misfortune of a second-circle wizard being kidnapped.”

A powerful spiritual energy flowed into her loom of fate, and Georgina the Witch’s eyes narrowed into a smile. “Wizard Smith, thank you.”

“Thanks to you, I was able to comprehend the boundless realm of New Textile Science, and my superficial understanding. You are truly… selfless.”

“Right now, because of your misfortune, I have received this fortune.”

Georgina the Witch pondered, “But even with this fortune, it is still not enough to sustain my fight against Locke.”

“Locke has entered the access space within the mind network. He probably won’t be out for a while. I can take this opportunity to drape the Cloak of Fate over Edgar, and do the same to eliminate him from the competition, thus obtaining the misfortune that eliminated him.”

“In this way, I might be able to obtain magical pressure that threatens Locke.”

Using this energy, Georgina the Witch directly summoned the second-ranked New Textile Science wizard at the first-ring crystallization stage from their Bonifacius University.

The wizard looked at Georgina and said, “I saw everything from up there. Let’s seize the opportunity and hurry to the mortal realm to kill Edgar.”

Georgina replied, “Okay.”

Meanwhile, in the mortal realm, Edgar looked up at the ‘Star God Realm,’ which had suddenly vanished—a meteor from outer space—his expression strange.

No.

He had just modified his backup spell model, devising a plan to perish together with his opponent, and yet Wizard Smith himself had been kidnapped by the dark wizard?

Edgar blinked. “Although I knew he was weak, this is too weak.”

“This…”

Edgar looked down and saw that he was wearing a cloak of fate.

He looked up at Georgina, the witch, dressed in the robes of a wandering judge, his expression strange.

The next moment, Georgina spoke, “Edgar, I am at my peak, while you are crippled by Locke. So, I’m sorry.”

“Please leave.”

The next instant, Georgina unleashed her full power with the Loom of Fate. In a flash, the Triple Weave of Fate transformed into three threads. When these three magical needles encountered Edgar’s enduring defensive field and the magical pressure structure on the surface of his soul, they didn’t produce any fierce magical resistance, but instead pierced through him like needles through tofu.

Soon, Edgar’s entire soul, from top to bottom, was completely pierced by Georgina’s Loom of Fate.

The Loom of Fate possesses an internal spiritual network, capable of massively collecting information on the opponent’s magical pressure and weaknesses to launch specific attacks.

In other words, the Loom of Fate can attack weaknesses in the opponent’s magical flow and magical pressure structure.

This is why the passive power of Smith’s previous meteor shower couldn’t get close to Georgina.

Because all the magical forces that approached her were attacked by exploiting magical vulnerabilities, causing them to collapse on their own.

At that moment, the wizard Edgar faced the same situation.

Edgar died instantly.

With his death, the fortune corresponding to the misfortune he caused flowed back into Georgina’s [Fate Weaving Machine].

Georgina, seemingly afraid that Locke would seize the opportunity to attack, immediately turned and fled into the Magic Realm.

Once inside, she discovered that the Magic Realm possessed the same size as the mortal world of the Silent Dimension.

In other words, a second-circle, unforged, Great Magician could not possibly completely control that world-class Magic Realm.

Therefore, she found the deepest part of the Magic Realm, placed her Great Magician there, and hid herself; even if Locke wanted to find her, it would take a while.

Before entering the Magic Realm, she glanced in the direction of the dark wizard witch. “If that dark witch dons my Cloak of Fate and gets killed, I can reap another batch of corresponding luck.”

“But the Spinning Machine of Fate just attacked at full power, and my magical pressure is depleted. Before I recover, I’ll observe the witch’s condition first.”

For a wizard, information is power.

And she still knows nothing about that witch.

Meanwhile, Locke is unaware that because Wizard Smith himself ruined his own life, the excellent situation he created has vanished.

Wizard Smith used his own abduction to allow the witch Medea to join the competition as a contestant, revived the witch Georgina’s previously depleted magic, and even helped Edgar.

Everyone was winning, only Smith himself lost…

At this moment, within the access space of the Mind Network, Locke finally got the Emperor to admit who the builder of this Mind Network was and why he disappeared.

Antoine was furious.
