Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 862
Chapter 858 Arrival in the Three Caves World!
Locke’s clone went to the Golden Crown Mountain Library.
Because the grafted Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow was still at least a week away from maturity, he first had Douglas and the witch Mason take care of it.
He himself went to the Golden Crown Mountain Library to start looking up information on golden magic and botanical spell models.
At Ackerman’s recommendation, Locke took a pile of reference materials and sat down at a table in the library.
There were seven other second-circle wizards in the reading area.
They glanced up at Locke, then looked down at the materials in their hands again.
Some were looking at the materials with one hand and simulating the spell models on the materials with the other.
Locke, on the other hand, sat on a stool, his palm brushing across the table, simulating an apprentice-level golden magic spell model. The gold dust on the table condensed into a golden finger.
“The difference between a pure golden magic spell model and a botanical spell model is just too great.”
Locke looked at the ten basic golden magic spell characters in the book.
“These are the basic structures of the ten most commonly used spell models in Golden Magic. Once I learn them, casting apprentice-level Golden Magic shouldn’t be a problem.”
“For wizarding apprentices, they believe the basic unit of a spell model’s construction is the magical runes. For example, the basic unit of a botanical spell model is twenty Ogan runes.” “
The basic magical rune of Golden Magic is a magical rune called [Chryseth] Golden Rune, of which there are only ten.”
“The higher the level of an apprentice-level spell model, the more runes are used, thus constructing a very complex spell model. A simple botanical trick model might only have a dozen or so magical runes, but a spell model approaching the first level might contain nearly a hundred magical runes.” “
However, for a formal wizard, it should be recognized that both Ogan runes and [Chryseth] Golden Runes are merely appearances. Each of these runes corresponds to a basic spell model structure; that is, one rune corresponds to one spell model.”
“The so-called construction of spell models using magical runes is merely a deliberate simplification of spell models by high-ring wizards. Otherwise, the cost, difficulty, and resource investment for apprentices to cast spells would be at least ten times greater.”
Locke, now a second-ring archmage, while learning gold magic, used the examples from others to improve his own, realizing the essence of magical runes.
A magical rune is the result of a high-ring wizard simplifying the basic structure of a certain type of spell.
One magical rune corresponds to a complex spell model structure!
In other words, when wizard apprentices learn magical runes and combine them into relatively simple spell models, they are very proud of their small innovations and fascinated by their achievements.
They, and even many first-ring wizards, fail to realize that the magical technology behind each magical rune they use far exceeds the crude spell models they construct themselves.
Locke exclaimed, “These aren’t just simple spell models; they’ve been reduced to magical runes.”
“The spell models corresponding to these runes represent the universal structure of spell models for a particular magic category.”
“By using these universal structures, one can construct incredibly complex and dazzling spell models.”
“In other words, those spell models are the result of high-ring wizards summarizing the ways of the world.”
What made Locke hesitate was that this level of sophistication clearly surpassed even his understanding of third-ring wizards, or even fourth-ring wizards.
For example, the [Chryseth] golden rune before him was only ten characters, yet it seemed to contain truth.
All the golden magic spell models he had encountered seemed to be confined to these ten characters.
Based on these ten characters, through permutations and combinations, and with some wizards devising new spell model structures and adding other auxiliary magical runes, a complex spell model structure could be constructed.
Looking at these ten characters again, Locke felt that each character was as vast as a universe.
With each glance, the structure of the spell models corresponding to these characters became clearer, even revealing past misunderstandings that needed correction.
In other words, wizards with different understandings of these characters could unlock even greater power hidden within them.
Was this the work of a wizard of truth?
Or a wizard of a higher level?
“This is a kind of support on another level,”
Locke realized.
“Without these high-level wizards creating this systematic system of magical runes, a wizard understanding the magical world and exploring the truth would have to painstakingly summarize magical powers and arrange the patterns of specific magical forces, exploring magic in that direction like a snail.” “
But with the support of these magical characters, we, the later generations, can stand on the achievements of our predecessors. No wonder people in the wizarding world easily achieve greater things than people in other worlds.” Are there
no intelligent people in other worlds?
No.
It is the intelligent people of the wizarding world who are supporting all those who come after them.
As an ordinary mortal with average abilities, upon entering the wizarding world, he immediately began studying the essential texts written by fourth-ring wizards, and even higher-ring wizards.
Previously, due to limited experience, he only saw the impressive creations of first- and second-ring wizards, believing that to be the true power of magic.
Now, as a second-ring wizard himself, he realized that the most powerful and truthful things were precisely the contents of the very first textbook he encountered during his apprenticeship.
Everyone desires the magical inheritance of high-ring wizards, but judging from this, who in the wizarding world doesn’t receive the inheritance of high-ring wizards?
Locke said, “In other worlds, to achieve two breakthroughs beyond the limits, the effort and time I would have to expend would far exceed what I’m doing now.”
“The Enlightenment… that era changed everything, preventing anyone in the wizarding world from ever daring to claim supremacy again, and establishing the White Wizarding Association. I wonder how magnificent that era must have been.”
Locke composed himself and began earnestly reading various magic books and articles related to golden magic spell models.
Although the foundation is the Chryseth Golden Rune,
the structure of first and second-order spell models is still vast, and the Chryseth Golden Rune is merely the foundation.
At the first level, many wizards add numerous auxiliary magical runes to construct unique spell models.
At the second level, a second-level archmage uses basic and auxiliary magical runes to construct spell models.
They also add their own unique spell model structure based on their unique understanding of magical power in a particular direction.
This is why second-level magic is highly original. It’s
also why the lineage becomes more pronounced in individuals at the second level,
as different lineages will inevitably produce different original spell model structures.
Locke pondered, “I can gradually learn golden magic. If I’m designing a second pair of second-level wizard shoes, I can first learn the [Chryseth] golden rune.”
“There’s no need to actually start learning from scratch. That would take five to ten years to achieve anything. However, I only need to leverage the unique nature of my dragon bloodline, combined with the partial spell model of the [Safirot’s Grip] I’ve seen, adjust and modify it to create a golden spell suitable for my wizard shoes.”
Essentially, he was copying.
Because the [Safirot’s Grip] was lost, but it was an extremely powerful spell, and he only remembered a part of it. Reproducing it was enough to enhance his wizard shoes.
“I have to thank the golden dragon race for casting magic; they never concealed their spell models.”
“It’s an open-source structure.”
“And the basic magical runes used in this [Safirot’s Grip] are the [Chryseth] golden runes, along with three auxiliary magical runes. However, this era has learned scholars; Wizard Ackerman recognized the types of those three auxiliary magical runes in less than five minutes.”
“Then I only need to recognize these four magical runes.”
Recognizing doesn’t mean mastering.
Of course, since it involves copying and modifying, rather than developing from scratch, it would be much simpler to develop a rudimentary version of [Sephiroth’s Grip].
But it will still take time.
Locke read through the Chryseth Golden Script spellbook and said, “Indeed, it will be very easy for me to learn. Golden magic has a characteristic: those with specific bloodlines find it only a fraction of the difficulty of learning for ordinary wizards.” “
The higher the level of a wizard’s specific golden bloodline, the easier it is to learn golden magic. I wonder what the level of the World-Destroying Dragon’s bloodline is, but when I read the Chryseth Golden Script…”
Locke said, “I had the illusion of photographic memory.”
“Now my clone is learning here, Mason and the others are in the laboratory, and my main body can officially enter the Three-Hole Plane and begin its exploration.”
…
In the Three-Hole Plane, the spindle-shaped exploration vanguard rotated outside the plane’s crystal wall system. They spent over half a month traversing the destroyed plane’s meteorite cluster, leaving the location of the Void Beast, and finding the Three-Hole Plane.
Then, they spent another week entering the near-Earth orbit of the Three-Hole Plane.
Because Locke was a novice, with the guidance of the old pirate Henry, it took him over a week to finally enter the near-Earth orbit of the Three Hole Planes, the closest to the present world.
Old pirate Henry said to Locke, “That’s good. Now we don’t have to worry about being thrown out by the plane’s gravity, or being pulled into the present world and crashing directly onto the land of the Three Hole Planes.”
“Captain, you learn really fast,”
Locke said. “It’s alright.”
Mainly due to his ancient biological bloodline, his insight was very high, and he also possessed his long-standing talent—precise control of magic.
Locke looked at the Three Hole Planes. The surface of the Three Hole Planes rippled with azure waves, and its great river shimmered green.
According to the information obtained from the Void Cube, the reason the great river in this world was green was because many seeds of the lotus flower that supported the crater and the land floated in the river.
This caused the river to appear greenish.
At the same time, the plane’s principles did not conflict with those of the Wizarding World.
Deviations in the laws governing related planes can affect the power of spell models.
However, on their way here, they had already made minor adjustments to their spell models based on the findings of the Void Cube, so they would be largely unaffected upon entering this world.
Locke said, “According to the information obtained by the Void Cube, in this world, the water magic of the Evocation School will be enhanced, while the magic of the Mind School will be collectively rendered ineffective. The world is composed of the elements of wind, water, fire, earth, and ether.”
The old pirate Henry, peering intently through the observation window, exclaimed in surprise, “The characteristic of a medium-sized plane is that many demiplanes will be generated within its crystal wall system. If the civilization of this world develops to a certain level, it will explore the outside world. They might remain focused on exploring the crystal wall system, mistakenly identifying those demiplanes within it as new worlds.”
“They will develop a flawed understanding of the size of their world and their position in the endless void.”
“They will mistake those demiplanes for other worlds.”
“Small-sized planes cannot generate demiplanes. The demiplanes of small and medium-sized planes are not systematic. But this plane before us… its crystal wall system has not only generated demiplanes, but also one, two… two and a half upper-level planes!”
“The ability to generate systematic upper-level planes is a characteristic of medium-to-large-sized planes.”
“This plane is actually very close to becoming a medium-to-large-scale plane. My God, it’s almost one step away from becoming a
medium-to-large-scale plane. Why did it suddenly stop?” “It was already on the verge of advancing to a medium-to-large-scale plane. Why has it remained at this level for so long?”
“Normally, even if a world fails to advance, it will leave behind the characteristics of failure… instead of remaining at this stage for a long time and doing nothing.”
The old pirate Henry pointed to the world ahead. In the crystal wall system of this world, one upper plane was located at the top of a crater, and
another upper plane existed underground in the crater. Half of the upper plane was located in the sea.
Locke said, “Second-ring wizards cannot enter this world yet. Everyone, we need to send some people into this world first. I need you to bring my treant avatar into it and plant the first tree seed on the land of this world.”
“Everyone, there are second-ring level beings in this world. Therefore, there is great danger for formal wizards. Who of you will enter first?”
Some wizards volunteered.
In the end, Locke chose three wizards at the vaporization stage.
Because their entry would cause the least disturbance and the world’s repulsion would be the least.
At the same time, Locke sensed a divine force approaching from afar, attacking the Exploration Vanguard.
“Hmm?” Locke turned around and saw the fire giant in the mortal realm drawing his bow and arrow, attempting to shoot a flaming arrow at them.
But Locke simply manipulated his wand, raising the Exploration Vanguard to a void orbital height, thus dodging the attack.
The giant could only see his attack fall to the ground.
The old pirate laughed loudly, “These natives…”
“Without an extraterrestrial civilization level, it’s very difficult for the natives of this world to project their attacks into near-Earth orbit. Their power is confined within the crystal wall system,”
Hussein said. “Whether they are natives is hard to say. I feel they are not the natives of this world at all. They are practically parasites in this world, bringing the entire world’s development to a standstill.”
