Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 863
Chapter 859 The Second World Leaf and the God-King’s Plea for Help
Above the near-Earth orbit in the void, Locke did not immediately send the three wizards he had chosen into the Three-Hole Plane. Instead, he first tentatively launched a small probe—a carpet-shaped magic carpet—from the Explorer Vanguard into this Three-Hole Plane.
The ten official wizards behind Locke collectively began chanting spells, and with their chants, the control wands in the cockpit released magical light.
The magic carpet, its surface resembling a mosaic painting, began to continuously combine and adjust its planar principles. Then, after approaching the planar principles of the Three-Hole World, the magic carpet rushed into the crystal wall system, unrecognized and unresisted by the world’s power.
The magic carpet directly entered that world, but the next moment, a fiery arrow struck it. Instantly, the magic carpet was engulfed in flames, but after a layer of enchanted defensive magic array on its surface flashed with magical light, the flames gradually extinguished.
The magic carpet was only slightly charred on the surface.
Even if the entire world’s laws of fire were applied to this first-ring crystallized magic carpet, it wouldn’t be able to destroy it.
The fire giant looked up as the magic carpet descended from the sky, attempting to approach the crater.
However, above the crater and the land within it, there was another layer of sky, which was the domain of the god-king of this three-plane plane.
The next moment, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, and with a ‘bang,’ as if the entire world’s plane laws were attacking the magic carpet, the entire magic carpet suddenly shattered.
The ten formal wizards, the manipulators behind the magic carpet, slightly changed their expressions, feeling as if the entire plane laws of the three-plane plane were crashing down on them.
Locke, however, remained calm.
“It seems those self-proclaimed ‘gods’ giants in this plane were already prepared with defenses after discovering our Void Cube last time,”
commented the old pirate Henry. “Being able to construct defensive measures within the crystal wall system is quite impressive. That fire giant’s magic pressure is 16,000, but unfortunately, he doesn’t have any means to improve his energy efficiency. For a first-ring wizard, he has a size advantage, but against the three of us, he’s nothing.” “
But the magic pressure of that sky realm is almost reaching 19,999, which is almost the limit of a normal second-ring magic pressure. This world is truly special; it’s just a medium-sized plane, yet it has two and a half upper planes and such powerful natives.”
“With that sky domain covering the mortal realm blocking our way, it’s difficult to send anyone down. Anything we put in will be destroyed by that domain, and the three of us and the void warship, due to the immense magical pressure, cannot directly enter this medium-sized plane without a ritual summoning,”
Hussein said. “Let the three wizards who went down find the native mortals to establish the ritual and summon us down. Summoning our saintly avatars will also work.”
Old Henry looked at him and said, “But the premise is that we can safely send people down. Otherwise, it’s like facing a tortoise shell, impossible to chew.”
The three wizards who had originally been chosen by Locke to enter the three-hole plane ahead of time looked at each other, their faces showing difficulty.
They only had a few experiences following second-ring archmages on void explorations, and this was their first time landing on a void plane. They didn’t know how dangerous it was before, but now, seeing the magic carpet that had been blasted into a fireball by the sky lightning of the native world, they all began to feel fear.
Even a crystallized magical artifact could be blasted into a fireball by that lightning bolt. If it were to strike these vaporized wizards, wouldn’t they be in deep trouble?
Moreover, once inside that world, the three great wizards, Locke and the others, couldn’t force their way in; a forced entry would require a direct confrontation with the world’s core.
Even if they managed to land successfully, they would face isolation and helplessness.
Enemies would relentlessly attack them.
These enemies could manipulate the entire world’s dimensional laws.
These crystallized wizards would eventually be worn down.
The witch Ida used pendulum divination to predict the short-term fate of the three, saying to Locke, “Mr. Augustine, I have divined their deaths.”
“While this divination may not be accurate, it demonstrates the danger of sending people down directly.”
The three wizards’ expressions changed slightly.
The old pirate Henry grumbled, “You’re all official wizards. If you prefer doing things without danger, why don’t you just retire to the lower-level wizarding realm?”
“Void exploration is always extremely dangerous, especially in worlds where wizards have never set foot before, and where there are obvious signs of alteration by other civilizations. Danger is inevitable, but as wizards, finding solutions amidst danger is the norm.”
The witch Ada snorted coldly. She harbored considerable prejudice against this old black wizard, but since he was a second-circle archmage, she dared not say much to his face.
The three illusionist magicians all looked at Locke.
At this moment, Locke, as the leader of this organization and the highest-ranking person on this void warship, represented the highest commander among those from the wizarding civilization who had come here.
He had to make a decision.
Every day spent in this near-Earth orbit in the void consumed resources and energy. If progress was slow, they would need to return to obtain resources before coming back.
All the initial investment would be wasted.
The reason why the wizard Jugglus Juggler went bankrupt during his exploration of the void was precisely for this reason.
Fortunately, Locke wasn’t without experience entering other worlds.
Recalling his experiences from the three previous world wars and the Silent Grail, Locke quickly deduced that either the mortals of this world were summoning their saintly avatars, or the world itself was summoning them.
But in fact, the tentative launch of the magic carpet had already revealed the world’s attitude: this world seemed to be completely controlled by the twelve giants, the entire world was in a state of chaos, and the attitude of the twelve giants had become the attitude of the world.
Therefore, before finding a way to invest their power and truly contact the world’s will, they could only face the fact that the entire world rejected them under the will of those giant kings.
Hussein placed his hand on his control wand and immediately manipulated the void spaceship, throwing a black rod-shaped magical artifact downwards. It was wrapped with a vampire conversion blood curse; once it entered, it could attempt to bring vampires into the three planes.
The black magic weapon was shattered by a bolt of divine lightning as soon as it entered the sky, and the curse was lifted.
Not only that, the planeic principles of the entire Three-Diamond Plane further repelled them.
Seeing Locke looking at him, Hussein knew he had made a rare mistake and coughed.
“I didn’t expect this.”
Locke said, “The dimensional laws of this world naturally reject magic from the Mind School. Your Vampire Conversion Blood Curse contains too much magic, based solely on the Blood Curse branch of the Necromancer School’s curse magic, but it also encapsulates Mind School spells. For example, your Vampire Conversion Blood Curse contains the Mind School spell of ‘Calling Ancestors’.”
“This is the key to how higher-level vampires can command lower-level vampires. It also allows for life-threatening curses.”
“Even if you successfully cast the curse, I think those vampires will be difficult to command because they lack ‘Calling Ancestors’. You can only remotely control them with a weak curse, not to mention the entire world will further reject us because of it.”
Hussein nodded. “This time it was indeed my mistake. I originally wanted to try a curse to see if it could quickly solve the problem. But I just sensed the world’s rejection; if I want to curse, I can only curse the entire world.”
Hussein was now somewhat at a loss.
He had two major pieces of experience in dealing with things. The first was honed at the Blood Curse Court, where he would curse others whenever he felt like it.
The second was honed at the Mithril Law Firm, where he would check if others were breaking the law.
Now, the three planes were both rejecting his curses as a whole and had virtually no laws.
He felt a sense of bewilderment.
Locke, on the other hand, closed his eyes and entered a state of advanced meditation, sinking into deep meditation. He wanted to use this advanced meditation to integrate his consciousness with the characteristics of the Force Flood, and then communicate directly with the entire world through the Force Flood.
Before developing the plane, he needed to communicate with it.
Because according to the principles of wizarding civilization, wizarding civilization did not necessarily have to conquer this plane. There were many ways to obtain resources.
Only in the era of exploring the Great Void would wizards conquer everywhere. In the modern magical era, wizards often only wanted the World Stone or some specific resource from the plane.
Therefore, they could easily achieve this through commerce and trade.
In many cases, it was entirely possible to achieve mutual benefit through cooperation.
At this moment, Locke had little hope for the communication to be effective, because this plane was clearly not right.
Locke’s consciousness merged with the Force surge, then attempted to resonate with the entire world before him, searching for the suppressed world consciousness.
The next moment, Locke seemed to see a lush mountain range, radiant with divine light and auspicious mist, filled with a harmonious natural aura.
Locke was somewhat astonished, for he hadn’t expected this plane to appear like this in a meditative state.
On this crater sat a giant king, his eyes gleaming with excitement the instant he saw Locke. “Guardian of Nature, you’ve finally come,”
Locke said, looking at him in surprise.
Behind the giant king’s throne was a tree, lush and unremarkable, but what made Locke’s pupils shrink suddenly was that the tree bore a leaf of the World Tree.
He recognized it as a World Tree leaf because he possessed one himself and had used it as the core of a vast magic.
And the tree behind the giant king also bore a World Tree leaf.
The Giant King suddenly spoke to Locke, “Guardian of Nature, this is the first time in ten thousand years that we have been able to communicate with you as the embodiment of nature. After you poured your power into our world, I sensed you and immediately focused my power on the Rubik’s Cube you threw at me, sending you a distress signal. Did you receive it?”
Locke’s expression remained unchanged; he calmly looked at the Giant King in a deep meditative state, unsure if this was a trap.
‘A distress signal?’
Locke said, “This being from the Three-Dimensional Plane, you say you gave me a distress signal? Then why did your distress signal suddenly attack me?”
The Giant King, seated on his enormous throne, paled upon hearing Locke’s words. He tried to stand up, wanting to say something.
“Attack you?”
“No, there’s a mistake, a complete mistake. Guardian of Nature, help us, we need help.”
“Our world has invaders.”
“If that signal attacked you, then didn’t you come here to help us?”
The Giant King’s face showed astonishment.
He tried to rise from the throne, but the next moment, numerous stone chains suddenly appeared on it.
The Giant King roared, “No!”
The next instant, in this deep meditation, the entire world spun. The once peaceful mountains suddenly became barren and desolate, and the sky seemed to undergo some kind of anomaly, with eyes descending from it.
The largest eye appeared in the sky, its pupil filled with indifference.
“Outsiders, what do you want with this world?”
Locke frowned. He had previously attempted to communicate directly with the world’s will in a state of deep meditation, but he couldn’t find the world’s will of the three planes, and could only communicate with the God-King of this world.
But the God-King suddenly pleaded for his help.
And now, in his communication with the world, this strange thing had suddenly appeared.
What was this thing?
Locke remained calm and decided to complete the process.
“We are wizards from the Wizarding World, and we wish to complete a commercial transaction with your world. We want to access the World Tree Leaf of this world to explore its mysteries. In exchange, we will upgrade your world’s civilization and provide you with the corresponding goods you desire.”
“Do you wish to complete this transaction? Completing it should be very beneficial for you.”
The pupil among the countless eyes in the sky suddenly revealed malice, a cowardly emotion awakening immediately upon sensing Locke’s goodwill.
Its previous bluster vanished instantly.
“I don’t need it.”
“This world doesn’t need civilizational upgrades; maintaining the status quo is perfectly fine. Leave our world immediately, or my methods will be far more numerous than you imagine. I will slaughter you all.” “
Wizards, it’s not like I haven’t had contact with you before. Heh…”
“Get out of here. No, before you leave, leave behind some of your resources…”
Locke’s expression remained unchanged.
“So, this is a declaration of war?”
The pupil in the sky was immediately taken aback.
“What?”
Locke said, “I understand. I accept your declaration of war against our wizarding civilization.”
“But I warn you, I never fail.”
The pupil of the eye in the center of the sky suddenly shrank, as if it had misjudged something.
This was no easy person to talk to!
The next moment, Locke left deep meditation and severed his connection with that world.
Locke looked down at the three planes, then at Old Henry and Hussein, and said, “This world is more complicated than I thought.”
If the giant king’s back was indeed a leaf of the world, then the way the giants of this world originally obtained their power was probably a gift from nature.
But why have they become like this?
Why did the God-King ask him for help? What was that giant eye that suddenly entered his communication with the world?
Locke looked at the three wizards in the vaporization stage and said, “Proceed according to the original plan. You three are all experts in the illusion school.”
“These are three branches of Red Holly. Red Holly has low environmental requirements. After you land, immediately choose a safe area and plant them.”
Locke looked at a crystallized wizard of the protection school.
“That’s why I invited you, an expert in the Protective School, earlier. You create three sealing scrolls. When we three wizards land, plant trees, and encounter mortal danger, immediately seal them in place.”
“This will protect your lives. At the same time, we can release the seal at any time, depending on the situation. There’s a lot of flexibility.”
The three wizards at the Vaporization stage all brightened up.
They thought Locke’s idea was excellent.
This way, they could complete their mission, bring magic into that world, have a certain level of safety, and could release the seal at any time, allowing them to move around in that world again as needed.
Old Henry’s eyes gleamed slightly.
“Good idea.”
