Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 791

Chapter 788 The Dean of the University of Verdandia’s Regret

In the Forbidden Forest, the sound of chains scraping against the ground arose, incredibly heavy, like some kind of chain used to suppress demons being dragged, producing a rumbling sound like an earthquake.

Locke, seeing this, glanced back at the battle on Hussein’s side. Although he didn’t immediately realize Hussein’s purpose, he quickly discerned it from the spell model of the Mithril Codex.

‘It’s debt slavery. Hussein wants to turn him into a debt slave.’

Locke realized, ‘Debt slavery is a curse.’ Judging from Hussein’s previous conversation with the black wizard Isaac, Hussein seemed to be in a precarious situation, constantly fearing the orders of the progenitor wizard’s descendant. ‘

So, his method is…’

Locke, relying on his superhuman intuition, his tiger eyes, and the knowledge he gained at Mount Golden Crown, deduced Hussein’s true purpose.

‘He wants to use the power of the Codex to confuse the power of the Blood Curse, thereby interfering with [Claiming Ancestor].’ “

It seems Isaac the wizard has completely fallen into his trap.”

Locke glanced back in that direction.

“He’s just a dark wizard after all, lacking experience. Hussein’s fighting style is something ordinary white wizards can’t use; they must first work at the Mithril Law Firm for four years to gain a certain status.”

Locke looked into the depths of the Forbidden Forest, where a Star Ring wizard in tattered black robes flew out. He was already severely injured. For a moment, Locke thought of taking advantage of his injury to immediately surround and kill him.

After all, everyone has the right to kill dark wizards!

But he immediately dismissed the idea. As soon as the Star Ring wizard appeared, his magic permeated the world, and countless icy winds blew out from his immense magic, covering the earth.

In an instant, a layer of frost covered the ruins of Verdandia University.

Many first-ring wizards with insufficient magic pressure couldn’t even maintain flight and could only walk on the ground.

Upon witnessing this scene, Locke immediately realized the decisive difference between a Star Ring wizard and an ordinary second-ring wizard.

‘Forget it, I’ll reason with them. Fighting all day isn’t my style,’

Locke coughed.

‘Augustin, Augustine, do you remember you’re a white wizard, a researcher cultivating the Golden Crown Mountain?’

‘How can you want to cultivate a field on someone’s Great Magic just because you see them?’

Locke noticed that the biggest difference between the Star Ring wizard’s Great Magic and that of an ordinary second-ring wizard was that the Star Ring’s Great Magic seemed to possess greater cohesion, making it easier to enter this world.

At this moment, a chilling wind blew from the Star Ring black wizard’s Great Magic, colder and more biting than Berber Morgan’s burial ground,

pressing down on everyone.

The Star Ring Wizard burst out of the forest, clutching a shard of a broken sword. He called out, “Berber, Isaac, I’ve got part of it. I need to deliver it to the Highlord as soon as possible.”

“Remember to deliver the final blow to the White Wizarding Guild here.”

“Huh?”

The Star Ring Wizard was immediately surprised to find that Berber’s magical pressure had vanished, and Isaac’s was steadily decreasing.

“Reinforcements sent from the White Wizarding Guild headquarters?”

He was dumbfounded.

He had thought that after finally escaping that horrible place, the Forbidden Forest, he would finally receive support from the Dark Wizarding Alliance. Who knew that as soon as he emerged from the forest, he would see his Dark Wizarding Alliance army utterly routed?

Logically speaking, before he entered the forest, the Dark Wizarding Alliance was in a very advantageous position in the southeastern corner.

What happened?

‘Damn it.’

The Star Ring Wizard knew things were in serious trouble.

At this moment, Isaac realized something was wrong and shouted to the Star Ring Wizard, “Lord Marcus, save me!”

The Star Ring Wizard glanced at him and left without looking back.

A frost bone dragon appeared beneath him, larger and stronger than Berber’s, with more magical modifications.

The Star Ring Wizard immediately rode away on the frost bone dragon.

‘There’s no way to save him. I’m severely injured, my magic is almost depleted, and although I don’t know why, the Dark Wizarding Alliance is already doomed.’

‘The higher-ups meticulously planned this rebellion for fifty years, deliberately provoking the conflict between the Blood Curse Court and Lilith’s Hut as a starting point.’

‘They thought they could at least reach an agreement with the local White Wizarding Association, allowing the Dark Wizarding Alliance to expand its power here without restriction. But they failed. Even the best-laid plans can have flaws.’ Marcus

Dalton racked his brains, but couldn’t figure out where he had overlooked something.

He had meticulously reviewed the plan for a long time, paying attention to everyone worthy of attention.

Where exactly did the problem lie?

However…

he looked at the broken sword fragments in his hand.

“Although the goal wasn’t fully achieved, I found the most important thing in the mission. I can finally repay part of the Great Lord’s kindness, hahahaha…”

Marcus Dalton decisively chose to ride away on his Frost Bone Dragon, leaving Isaac completely dumbfounded.

He tried to reach out his left hand to Marcus.

“No, Lord Marcus. As a fellow wizard granted an official position by the Pale Pirates, how can you abandon me!”

The next moment, Hussein grabbed his throat and, with his left hand, pressed the finger of a high-ranking demon to his forehead, obfuscating his identity as a dark wizard and making him appear as a white wizard by the Codex.

Then, mithril chains flew out from the Mithril Codex, binding Isaac and his immense magic tightly.

Hussein said, “Isaac, you’re now my debt slave.”

“You dare to be so defiant in front of your creditor?”

He flung Isaac aside.

Isaac rose from the ground, his massive form like a demon god, causing a small tremor around him.

His eyes blazed with rage.

“Ridiculous. A low-ranking vampire from a lowly organization, you wouldn’t even have been qualified to study magic before. You dare call me a debt slave and your master? Ridiculous!”

“Let me make this clear, my bloodline is superior to yours. I am a pure-blooded descendant of a high-ranking vampire, a descendant of a third-ring vampire prince! You…”

He tried to charge at Hussein, but at that moment, mithril chains completely sealed him off—his magic, magical pressure, ultimate magic, permanent defensive field, and all his spellcasting abilities,

including his mental power.

He hadn’t run more than a few steps before he found his strength completely blocked; he had the power to do so but couldn’t.

He collapsed to the ground, his body gradually reverting to that of a normal human.

Hussein quickly wrote him a bill.

“This is your debt. I will help you restructure your assets so you can pay me back.”

“And you must serve me for free for one hundred and ten years to clear your debt.”

Hussein was also drenched in sweat. If this dark wizard had been any smarter, he wouldn’t have been able to turn him into a debt slave.

He won his gamble!

With this dark wizard, he was no longer a lamb to the slaughter before the Pale Pilgrimage.

He had a buffer, and could use the dark wizard’s existence to buy himself some time.

As for why he wanted to make the other party his debt slave for 110 years, that was simple: the progenitor wizard was expected to awaken in a hundred years.

And what would a vampire want to do once awakened?

It wasn’t hard to guess.

It would be to drink the blood of vampire packs.

Hussein stood in front of Isaac and said, “In the white wizard society, bloodline doesn’t matter. All beings are equal. If you owe money and don’t pay, you will be controlled by others. I understood this principle not long after entering the white wizard society. I hope you understand it soon too, Isaac.”

Isaac suddenly stood up, wanting to curse Hussein, but was horrified to find that his soul was now filled with the power of curses, and he couldn’t use any magic at all.

Isaac’s face turned pale.

“How could such a thing happen?”

At the same time, Hussein glanced around. He lifted the Eleven-Draw Blood Curse, allowing some dark wizards to escape, but he intercepted all the dark wizards of the Blood Curse Court.

The reason he let those dark wizards escape was that he didn’t want to offend the organization behind them.

His only enemy was the vampire palace under the Pale Pilgrimage system.

Therefore, he wanted to take over the Blood Curse Court.

Hussein spoke, saying, “I ask you, esteemed wizards, to do me a favor. I am Hussein, a wizard from Lilith’s Hut.”

“However, the Blood Curse Court has some close ties with me. I hope to completely incorporate the Blood Curse Court.” “

And don’t hunt them down. If they have already been killed, it doesn’t matter. They were just unlucky.”

At this moment, the many white wizards at Lilith’s Hut looked at each other.

Association President Justin thought for a moment and immediately agreed. He looked at Hussein and remembered Hussein’s identity.

He never expected that two such figures would emerge from the Southeast Corner Region back then.

This prompted Justin the Wizard to ponder. ‘

It’s not that my Southeast Corner lacks talent, but rather that we can’t retain it. As soon as talent emerges here, it’s snatched up by the Star Sea, the Three Swamps, the Boundary Between Darkness and Light, the Four Bright Waters, and the Land of Dragonfall.’

‘Sigh.’

Justin asked Hussein, ‘Since the Blood Curse Court is under Hussein’s control, will they still remain in the Southeast Corner?’

Hussein replied, ‘Naturally, they’ll come with me to the Cloud Swamp Wetlands.’

Justin said, ‘Then I have no objection. As long as they’re not in the Southeast Corner, it’s none of our business. I will naturally give Hussein face.’

He was considering more deeply.

Although Hussein had been exonerated, considering his dark past, he was already severely injured on their side, and Locke and Hussein seemed to be friends, not enemies.

If he refused Hussein now, forcing him to join the dark wizards’ side, he wouldn’t know how to handle the situation.

For now, he should focus on eliminating the wizards of the Bone Cult and the Corpse Court.

Ironically, Locke and Hussein’s return to the Southeast Corner not only brought an end to the five-year war, but they also each took away a top-tier dark wizarding organization from the region.

For a long time to come, the dark wizards of the Southeast Corner will likely be unable to recover.

This war between black and white wizards has produced a final victor.

However, the victors did not win as they had imagined, and the losers did not lose as they had expected. No

one anticipated that the two who fled the Southeast Corner five years ago to avoid the war would return as second-circle wizards, personally bringing an end to the war.

Locke was no longer concerned with the battlefield; the dean of the University of Verdandia seemed inclined to approach him and apologize in person.

At this time, Verdandia University had discovered that Locke was originally a wizarding prospect nurtured by their intermediate academy and should have been admitted to their wizarding university.

Following the trail, the university’s higher-ups immediately understood the past events.

And so, they all felt remorse.

Regretfully, he had missed the chance to become Locke’s alma mater as a second-circle wizard.

The dean of the University of Verdandia had originally wanted to catch up with Locke, after all, Locke had studied in their university’s intermediate academy for at least the first two years.

So, by a reckoning, their university was Locke’s alma mater, wasn’t it?

But at that moment, Locke looked into the depths of the Forbidden Forest, where a magical tidal fountain suddenly erupted.

“That location is… the location of the ruins I found in the Forbidden Forest years ago. Hmm? Is someone in the Forbidden Forest trying to contact me?”

“Back then, I did have the special right to freely enter certain areas of the Forbidden Forest. I was curious about why back then, well, it’s fine.”

“I’m now a second-circle wizard, so I can go in and see. Anyway, this is just an avatar. No matter what, it can’t harm my real body.”

The old dean of Verdandia University had just approached Locke with several wizard instructors when they were dumbfounded to see Locke don the Dragon Rose, transform into a magical dragon meteor, and disappear from their sight.

The next moment, Locke’s figure appeared above the Forbidden Forest, and then he plummeted into it.

The wizarding instructors at Vildantia University all looked at the Dean.

“Dean, this…”

“Grand Wizard Augustine seems to be too busy. All second-circle wizards are extremely busy. I heard that the second-circle grand wizards of Cloudswamp Wetlands are searching for new, valuable research projects every day. So I think it’s normal that we haven’t encountered Grand Wizard Augustine; it shouldn’t be intentionally targeting us.”

The Dean sighed.

“In the future, let’s not casually trade our own trained talent with outsiders. It’s a loss. It’s too much of a loss.”

“They were originally trained by our own intermediate academy, how did they end up at Lilith’s Cottage!”

The Forbidden Forest.

Locke landed on the ground of the Forbidden Forest. He heard the sound of some kind of animal’s hooves hitting the ground, and then a being draped in a black robe, with a pair of large feet visible beneath, emerged from the forest.

Beside him was a dark green bee fairy.

It was the Silent Bee.

The being beneath the black robe looked at Silent Bee and said, “So, you’ve seen me? Are you satisfied, Silent Bee?”

The figure beneath the black robe couldn’t see its face, but Locke could tell it wasn’t human.

It lowered its head, facing Locke’s direction. “Hello, ferocious beast.”

“The Forbidden Forest is your home too. Come back often when you have time. Alright, Silent Bee, I have to go. I’m busy. The damage that damned human wizard caused to the Forbidden Forest hasn’t been dealt with yet…”
