Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 794

Chapter 791: What’s the point if it doesn’t add points?

Locke used the [Spirit Vein Stitcher] to cut his finger. A pale green light emerged from the edge of the Spirit Vein Stitcher. Then, following the complex spiritual cuts, the grafting knife completely severed the complete dragon bloodline within Locke’s bloodline.

A drop of blood fell and hovered in mid-air.

The Silent Bee exclaimed in admiration,

“Such skillful techniques, ferocious beast. I didn’t expect you could so accurately separate the blood containing your specific bloodline essence.”

Locke nodded slightly.

The wizarding civilization system, in its details, can be said to be impeccable.

He only used basic knowledge of bloodlines, as well as the characteristics of second-ring wizards who can see the power of planes and the depth of spirituality, to do this using the second-ring magical artifact [Spirit Vein Stitcher].

Of course, his skill might be slightly better than that of an average second-ring wizard.

After all, he has Tiger Eye to enhance his perception.

Locke placed the bloodline containing his dragon bloodline into a flower bud of one of the trees.

The tree’s buds bloomed and blossomed, its branches extending out to receive Locke’s drop of blood. The buds quickly closed, and the branches retracted.

The Silent Bee Fairy examined the tree from above. “Alright, now we only need to wait five more years for the Secret Fruit to mature.”

“By consuming the Secret Fruit, you can obtain this secret.”

Locke nodded slightly; it sounded like some method to enhance his dragon bloodline.

The reason he had incorporated this dragon bloodline was twofold: first, the future of the dragon bloodline was severed. Currently, no matter how many resources he invested, his dragon bloodline’s highest achievement was only the Moon Ring.

The path from the Moon Ring to the Sun Ring was broken, and the path from the Sun Ring to the Third Ring was also broken.

The entire independent evolutionary chain of the dragon bloodline had been artificially severed.

Although he didn’t know why the Black Sun Tower would do this,

Locke, after confirming that the Treasure Tree’s magical pressure was only at the Sun Ring level, knew its approximate limit.

Therefore, Locke chose to place a drop of his bloodline, containing the essence of a demonic dragon, into the flower bud of the Treasure Tree, hoping that this casual step might help him in the future.

Of course, this was just a casual step.

Locke wasn’t sure what the Treasure Tree could do or what its limits were, but since it was a gift from the Forbidden Forest, he had no reason to refuse.

Locke looked at Silent Bee and said, “Silent Bee, how can I know the exact ripening time of my Secret Fruit five years from now?”

“There’s another matter. A Star Ring Wizard previously trespassed into the Forbidden Forest. I wonder what he took from within?”

Locke asked cautiously.

Silent Bee said, “Five years from now, the Secret Fruit will definitely be ripe.”

“As for what that wizard took from the Forbidden Forest… I can’t say.”

“The Forbidden Forest is a place of hidden secrets. We don’t want to see everything clearly.”

Locke said, “Then let me ask another question. Because that wizard might be cooperating with my rival. There’s a three-ring wizard named Rose Witch…”

Silent Bee suddenly shuddered.

“A third-ring wizard is your rival? Beast, you’re really something!”

Locke coughed.

“Pretty much. Anyway, that wizard has established some kind of cooperation with the Rose Witch, that’s my guess. I just want to know, what is he trying to do?”

“So let me rephrase my question, did he take something other than his main objective? Can you tell me?”

Silent Bee fell into thought, their antennae touching.

“Beast, I didn’t expect you to be so influential outside.”

“A third-ring wizard is your rival, which shows how big your business is outside.”

“Let me think… that Star Ring wizard picked a plant from the Forbidden Forest.”

Locke’s eyes brightened slightly. He guessed correctly; he might be able to grasp the key to the cooperation between the Rose Council and the Pale Pilgrimage.

“What kind of plant?”

Silent Bee thought for a moment and said, “Dragon’s Saliva Narrow Line.”

Locke was stunned. He had never heard of this plant, but he quickly used the Water Gourd System to search for related terms. Soon, he found it in the second-ring free zone.

‘Dragon’s Saliva Narrow Line, only where the saliva of a true dragon flows has a chance of growing.’ A perennial herbaceous magical plant, belonging to the genus *Eriocaulon*, with multiple uses, it is the core ingredient of the [Dragon Soul Potion].

Locke frowned immediately.

He searched for keywords related to the Dragon Soul Potion and discovered that it was used by wizards of the Summoning School for their dragon companions, or even true dragon friends. It could activate dragon bloodlines, strengthen the consciousness of the dragon bloodline, and help true dragons and giant dragons enhance their magical power and bloodline strength.

“Dragon Saliva Narrow Sky is hard to find. Compared to other places that can be found, the Forbidden Forest should be the least dangerous area. Moreover, there must be Dragon Saliva Narrow Sky here.”

A look of doubt flashed in Locke’s eyes.

“But why did they hire black wizards to come to the Forbidden Forest to obtain Dragon Saliva Narrow Sky? Since they hired black wizards instead of sending out a proper expedition team, it means their purpose is definitely questionable.”

“Fine, no matter what, I have to report this to my teacher. Perhaps she’ll immediately know what the Rose Throne is up to. Of course, it’s also possible that it was one of the Rose Throne’s students.” Locke

knew of at least four of her third-ring wizard students, and there were probably many more.

Locke thanked the Silent Bee Fairy, “Thank you, Silent Bee.”

“You really helped me a lot.”

Silent Bee scratched her head with her antennae. “Not at all,”

Locke said, “Silent Bee, I have a lot of influence outside, so I’m very busy. I have to leave the Forbidden Forest now to deal with things outside.”

“Then goodbye.”

Silent Bee quickly waved goodbye to Locke, “Goodbye, beast.”

…

At Golden Crown Mountain, Locke’s true form was browsing documents in the second-ring free area of the library, searching for documents useful for reducing the production cost of imaginary roots.

To be honest, he had no ideas at the moment.

Because reducing the production cost of the imaginary root, or connecting it to the imaginary root located in the Underworld Ancient Tree through various means, were things he had never encountered before.

Therefore, he had no ideas.

Of course, he couldn’t expect to find something that could directly give him the answer or something similar by searching through magic books, because basically no wizards had done research in these two directions.

“There might be related research on artificial imaginary roots in the free areas of the three rings and the free areas of the sun, but I can’t access them now. Moreover, even if there were, it probably wouldn’t be very successful. Because if it were very successful, it would have already been transformed into a very successful practical technology.”

Locke flipped through the literature. He could only improve his knowledge by reading botanical articles, looking at their research directions and ideas, and summarizing their directions and ideas.

Inspiration would gradually emerge in the process of reading the literature.

Perhaps one day, with enough accumulated knowledge, a good inspiration will emerge.

Since he himself has no ideas, he might as well read more articles first.

Locke looked at the literature for a while and pondered, “Although I have no ideas, I still need to study the imaginary root slices of the Time-Shadow Fern I have. My understanding of imaginary roots is still too superficial; this level isn’t enough.”

“Anyway, I have some money now. Even if I have to burn money on some research related to imaginary roots, I can afford it.”

Experiments and equipment related to imaginary roots are particularly expensive.

However, he has the backing of a large group.

The underground laboratory in the second dune plane has some equipment he can utilize.

Based on his previous reading of literature and his understanding of imaginary root-related experiments, Locke conceived several imaginary root experiments that could be completed by using the public experimental equipment for free.

This means he only needs to pay for consumables and usage fees.

“Reading the free documents at Golden Crown Mountain isn’t enough. Only the Rose Council has comprehensive information on wizard shoes.”

Locke picked up an envelope on the library table and wrote a magical letter—an application to the Rose Council’s library.

He wanted to apply for free access to the second-ring free zone of the Rose Council’s library for a month.

Locke beckoned to the library, summoning the free-roaming magical owls, and then stuffed the envelope into the pouches around their necks.

“Go, the destination is the Rose Council.”

Soon, the owl flashed in the shadows, its body twisting like an ink painting splattered with ink, and then disappeared.

…

Rose Council, library, a half-elf generalist saw a magical owl appear before him, and his expression was strange. “The emblem of Golden Crown Mountain?”

“Strange, I don’t have many friends at Golden Crown Mountain, why would someone write to me?”

This generalist, [Mitchell Hart], looked strange after seeing Locke’s letter.

“Isn’t this a student of the Red Dragon Throne?”

“He wants to see the second-ring free section of our Rose Council Library.”

“Are you kidding me? The Rose Throne and the Red Dragon Throne have been fighting so fiercely lately, who is this guy, with such a thick skin? There’s no interlibrary loan agreement between Golden Crown Mountain and the Rose Council.”

“Refuse?”

Scholar Mitchell Hart hesitated.

“But he is, after all, the Red Dragon Throne’s last disciple. My lineage hasn’t clashed with the Red Dragon Throne, and the upper echelons of Golden Crown Mountain and the Rose Council are reportedly considering strengthening cooperation recently.”

“To jointly face the enormous turmoil brought about by the Starfield Sea High Magic Project.”

“Under these circumstances, a hasty refusal seems inappropriate.”

Scholar Mitchell Hart was troubled.

“Ultimately, this wizard is just too shameless, catching me off guard. Fine, it’s only a month, I’ll give him a one-month library card.”

After a struggle, Wizard Mitchell Hart made his decision.

After all, the Red Dragon Throne’s academic lineage controls the publication rights to many key second-ring journals, wields influence over grant applications, and even holds considerable power over the local Holy Wizard Court in the Golden Crown Mountain region. Just

a few days ago, a third-ring wizard hostile to the Red Dragon Throne was fined for this.

Everyone knows that the Red Dragon Throne, through its control of the Holy Wizard Court, has indirectly strengthened its influence in various areas.

Wizard Mitchell Hart agreed to Locke’s request precisely because he feared offending the Red Dragon Throne.

However, after replying to Locke and lending him a one-month library card, he immediately logged onto the Library View website on the Water Hyacinth system and modified the description of the second-ring free area he was in charge of, stating that wizards not from this school or wizarding academies that had signed a borrowing agreement with the Rose Council were not allowed to enter the second-ring free area for reading.

This was to block the path of those wizards who followed Locke Augustine.

Furthermore, it would also limit that wizard to borrowing from the Rose Council for only one month.

Wizard Mitchell Hart glanced at his reply, confirming his tone—neither servile nor arrogant, utterly unoffensive, and unlikely to be seen as currying favor with Mount Golden Crown.

Perfect!

Mitchell Hart said, “That’ll do.”

…

Southeast Corner Region.

Locke’s Ancient Tree Fruit clone left the Forbidden Forest. He saw that at this moment, on the ruins of Verdandia University, the Dark Wizarding Alliance had been completely defeated, and the dark wizards had all fled.

Some dark wizard apprentices were hiding in the ruins; they couldn’t escape, and they felt that surrendering wouldn’t end well, so they could only hide one by one in the complex structures within the ruins, using the makeshift magical traps they had set up to buy time and await a slow death.

At this time, the white wizards of the Southeast Corner Region were conducting a thorough search for them, killing them immediately upon capture.

No wasting words.

Meanwhile, Hussein had also completely taken control of Wizard Isaac, who seemed to realize that he couldn’t escape for the time being.

Hussein found Locke and said, “Locke, thank you. You bought me the most crucial time, preventing me from being attacked by two second-ring wizards.”

“Without your help this time, frankly, my chances of success were only ten percent.”

Locke looked at Hussein and said, “So, seeing me here, weren’t you overjoyed?”

Hussein smiled, “Yes.”

“As agreed, I will help you with the planar conquest. You should have a planar coordinate, right?”

Upon hearing this, Wizard Isaac’s eyes immediately turned greedily to Locke.

That was a planar coordinate!

At this moment, Wizard Justin walked towards them, “Wizard Locke, Wizard Hussein, both of you are talents of our Southeast Corner Region.”

“Thank you both for your help to the Southeast Corner Region, helping us suppress the rebellion.”

“I would like to award you both the [Southeast Emblem]. This is a medal that only wizards who have made significant contributions to the Southeast Corner Region can receive.”

Locke had no objection to this; it was, after all, something dispensable.

Because this thing didn’t add any points when competing for teaching positions in the Starfield Sea.

What’s the point if it doesn’t add points?

Hussein, however, was quite interested in it.

“Thank you, President Justin.”

As a contract master, he really needs this kind of thing that’s great for exaggerating and putting on a show of power.
