Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 901

Chapter 896 The Locked Ancient Soul and the Declining Silver Peach Garden

Along the Tianjiang River, in the ancient pavilion of the Silver Peach Garden’s century-old headquarters, a group of formal wizards were working listlessly. Although they were wizards working for the Red Dragon Throne’s shop alliance, frankly, this title only intimidated some wizards who didn’t know much about it. After all

, the Red Dragon Throne had so many shop alliances; these small fish working for the Red Dragon Throne were nothing special.

At this moment, a second-ring wizard in the ancient pavilion ran up to the Star Ring wizard Terence and whispered, “Wizard Terence, I’m sorry, but I have to resign soon. I can pay a severance package to repay Silver Peach Garden for the training and cultivation they’ve given me over this period.”

Star Ring wizard Terence’s body stiffened instantly.

The original administrative director and most of the department heads of Silver Peach Garden had all been dismissed, and now the entire administrative framework was basically empty. He, a veteran wizard head of the market research department, was temporarily in charge of the situation.

But only after temporarily taking over this shop alliance did he realize what it meant to be dead but not dead, what it meant to continuously bleed out,

and to be unable to stop it. Wizard Terence sighed. He was a wizard of the Prophecy School, yet he was entrusted with managing this Breeder Shop Alliance. Firstly, he didn’t understand the in-depth breeding techniques; secondly, he was willing but powerless in this situation.

The entire Silver Peach Garden was immersed in a state of decay and decay.

Even though it was just an abstract concept of a shop alliance, every wizard working here felt there was no future. Even though it could currently pay satisfactory wages, everyone felt that working here was a hopeless endeavor, because everyone knew that Silver Peach Garden was trapped in a death spiral of liquidating shops to survive.

Unless… the Red Dragon lineage lends a hand.

But Wizard Terence sighed again. The entire Silver Peach Garden had long been marginalized. There were no wizards from the Red Dragon lineage here anymore, and even if there were, they were marginalized members of that lineage.

Their words couldn’t be spoken openly.

In this way, the entire Silver Peach Garden would seem to follow the same path as countless other shop alliances: a glorious past, followed by a slow death under the care of irresponsible managers, eventually fading into obscurity and being forgotten.

This seemed to be the fate of Silver Peach Garden.

Wizard Terence asked the second-ring wizard he had poached from another shop alliance at great expense, “Kyle, are you really not considering staying?”

Wizard Kyle gave a wry smile.

“I can return half of the settlement fee and financial subsidies you gave me.”

Wizard Terence asked, “Who poached you?”

Wizard Kyle coughed and said, “The Olayer Shop Alliance.”

A hint of surprise flashed in Wizard Terence’s eyes.

“I thought you would leave the Tianjiang Riverbank, after all, it’s the Demon Winter now, and all industries are declining. I didn’t expect you to stay here. Olayer…”

“Kyle Wizard, you have a talent for breeding, you are an excellent breeder, you can’t go backwards. Olayer is not as good as this place.”

“I remember that shop has not even been established for more than five years, and it has not made a profit yet.”

“Kyle Wizard, you can stay here for a while longer. After this period, our Silver Peach Garden will be much better.”

Kyle Wizard shook his head and said, “Lord Terence, please forgive my bluntness, but you know the current mess of Silver Peach Garden better than I do.”

“Without any external help, how can it be brought back to life?”

Wizard Terence frowned and sighed.

“I understand. You don’t need to return the subsidies I gave you before. After all, you’ve been here for over half a year. And since you only fulfilled the contract for six months, many benefits weren’t given to you

in the first place.” “Kyle Wizard, I hope you’re happy at the new shop alliance.”

Kyle Wizard breathed a sigh of relief. His contract with Terence Wizard was for three years, so he was worried that Terence Wizard would hold him back or make him pay a huge sum in compensation.

But now it seemed he only needed to pay a normal compensation.

This compensation would be paid by Lady Rose of Olayer.

That lady was generous, paying off all his personal debts in one go. As a poor second-ring wizard from the Tianjiang River region, he naturally wanted to move up to the shop alliance.

Besides, he had inquired and learned that Lady Rose was an important figure in the Rose School.

At this moment, her clone’s arrival along the Tianjiang River must be part of a grand scheme. Hearing of the fierce academic conflict between the Red Dragon and Rose academies, vying for academic standing, Aureille’s first target is clear: his former employer. This would give him a significant advantage,

as he understands Silver Peach Garden.

Seizing this opportunity, he might even have a chance to enter the core circle of the Rose Council and the Rose Throne.

Thinking of this, Wizard Kyle’s mind raced.

After Wizard Kyle packed all his belongings, signed the relevant contracts, and Wizard Terence received the remittance from Witch Rose, he left the ancient pavilion of Silver Peach Garden.

After he left, Wizard Terence looked up and saw the second wizard standing in front of him. His face was grim, and he asked in a low voice, “Are you leaving too, Davin?”

This was a vaporization wizard, who was practically insignificant during the peak of Silver Peach Garden’s existence. But now, he held considerable business within Silver Peach Garden, and was even responsible for one of the few still profitable super-products: the [Peach Dart Branch].

It was a great invention of Catherine the Witch at the first-ring wizard stage, dominating the market in the surrounding wizarding lands for a long time. It was an ‘advanced magical plant’ that wizards in lower-level wizarding lands would be willing to pay a fortune for. Unfortunately, it was now too old and

increasingly difficult to sell.

Wizard Terence frowned. This vaporization wizard was one of the key breeders in the Peach Garden.

This person couldn’t leave.

The gasification wizard, feeling guilty, said, “The witch Rose said she could pay me a large sum of compensation, a sum that could sustain our shop alliance for a long time.”

“If only you would agree.”

Wizard Terence’s face darkened. He wasn’t so polite to this gasification wizard. His silence frightened the wizard, who was sweating profusely.

Wizard Terence narrowed his eyes. Was the Rose School really going to come to this mediocre wizarding territory to compete?

And this place was currently experiencing a magical winter.

Was it really necessary?

And why hadn’t this witch Rose contacted him?

Just as Wizard Terence was about to speak, the people eavesdropping at their workstations suddenly heard the sound of an animal flapping its wings. They were astonished to see a magical owl tapping on the window with its beak.

With a wave of his hand, the window became semi-transparent, and the owl flew directly through it.

Terence took the letter from the owl’s leg that had landed on his finger.

“Hmm? Silver Peach Garden has appointed a new administrator, a direct appointment from His Majesty the Red Dragon Throne. Wizard Locke Augustine is our new administrator.”

A hint of doubt flashed in Wizard Terence’s eyes, for he seemed to have heard the name somewhere before.

Wait, that’s the champion of the Silent Grail, isn’t it?

The wizards who had been secretly eavesdropping were now filled with curiosity.

They wondered who this newly appointed supervisor was.

Most of them were wizards from the Tianjiang River region, and therefore knew nothing about Yunze Wetlands. In their eyes, Yunze Wetlands was a mysterious area full of powerful wizards, and even some Sun Ring wizards who had become singers, touring around and collecting data on the reactions of the people.

Terence Star Ring Wizard stalled for the wizard who wanted to resign, saying, “I have no authority to handle your matter now. We have a new administrative supervisor.”

“When he comes here to take charge, you can talk to him yourself.”

Daven Wizard nodded. He wasn’t in a hurry, after all, his treatment at Silver Peach Garden was quite good.

He’d see if Lady Rose would offer a huge compensation to poach him.

…

Golden Crown Mountain, Sand Dune Plane, Research Institute No. 2.

Locke told Douglas the secrets of the kingdom’s operation, while the Wizard King behind Douglas expressed his astonishment through Douglas.

“The simultaneous movement of the sun and moon… the Kingdom Domain can only be established with the help of a special celestial phenomenon. That’s not right.”

As a third-ringed High Priest of the Age of Stars, Lagmamon possessed keen perception.

“It’s impossible for the Kingdom Domain to be established because of a special celestial phenomenon.”

‘I was blinded by my own perspective, so I hadn’t realized that the Kingdom Domain was built on the foundation of the simultaneous movement of the sun and moon

,’ Lagmamon pondered. ‘But this young man from later generations reminded me, and it suddenly dawned on me. In my time, it wasn’t uncommon for wizards to travel to other worlds; some wizards simply stayed there, unwilling to return, making those other worlds their home.’

Douglas was completely confused, but he still forced himself to repeat the High Priest’s words to Locke.

“If the simultaneous movement of the sun and moon is a special celestial phenomenon, then wizards cannot use the Kingdom Domain if they leave the wizarding world.”

Locke also realized.

Yes.

If the Kingdom Domain needed to rely on the sun and moon of the wizarding world, what would happen if wizards left the wizarding world?

Douglas repeated the Witch King’s words, saying, “The dual movement of the sun and moon is not a phenomenon, but a magical ‘signal tower’ built by the Tower of the Black Sun.” As soon as

he finished speaking,

Locke sensed that the surrounding magical tides had become unusual, as if an abnormal force was locking onto this area.

But that force quickly dissipated.

The Witch King Lagmamon sighed in Douglas’s mind.

‘Damn it, Douglas. I didn’t expect the Tower of the Black Sun to still exist in this era. In the Age of Stars, any words spoken would surely be known to the Tower of the Black Sun. And now, in this era, I didn’t expect them to still possess this ability. They discovered my existence; they know I’ve been resurrected. They know I’m currently possessing the young soul of a modern wizard, but they probably can’t completely pinpoint my location.’

‘It seems their power has indeed diminished considerably in this era.’

Douglas asked in his mind, ‘Teacher, what kind of organization is that?’

The Witch King Lagmamon replied, ‘That was our former ‘Heaven.’

Douglas was silent for a moment, then said, ‘I will protect you.’

The Witch King Lagmamon smiled.

“I took a liking to you because of this quality. Alright, it’s alright, it should be fine for now. In short, I’ll be satisfied as long as I can hand over the spell model of the Lightning Gate to Locke Augustine this time.”

The Lagmamon Witch-King said to Locke through Douglas, “I see, so the Kingdom Domain requires this to be usable. But the moon still exists in this world, but the ‘Dark Sun’ is gone.”

Locke thought for a moment and said, “I have the bloodline of a dragon within me, and I can use my bloodline to simulate the Dark Sun.”

The Lagmamon Witch-King said to Locke through Douglas, “I understand. In other words, there is still a way to solve the problem in this era, to make the Kingdom Domain usable, right? But it’s no longer needed.”

“That’s an old thing after all.”

“It’s not worth studying further.”

Ever since the Witch-King realized that the Kingdom Domain needed to rely on the dual operation of the sun and moon to be established, he immediately realized that he had previously created the Kingdom Domain by following the path of the Black Sun Tower.

Yes.

The Kingdom Domain itself needs to gather the magic power of the ley lines and the faith of the people.

This is essentially sacrificial magic.

The Lagmamon Witch-King immediately realized more.

“But there’s a problem. If it’s sacrificial magic, then once a Kingdom Domain is created, it will rely on the Tower of the Black Sun no matter how it’s used. So… is that why I was easily suppressed and killed when I rebelled against the

Tower of the Black Sun?” “But that kid from later generations used the Kingdom Domain in front of me before. He shouldn’t have performed any sacrifices to the Tower of the Black Sun, he didn’t offer any burnt offerings to it…”

“Then he used his own sacrificial magic? I can’t think any further, otherwise the Tower of the Black Sun will immediately lock onto my location. This will kill Douglas.”

Locke glanced at Douglas.

‘That ancient soul actually rebelled against the Tower of the Black Sun like the wizard Otto?’

Although he had only heard fragments, he still understood the general origin of this ancient soul.

If he had rebelled against the Tower of the Black Sun, then this person couldn’t possibly be an unknown figure.

This Wizard King would probably be a very famous figure in history.

If he hadn’t been cursed with obliteration.

Locke glanced at him, then left. “Go check on the Golden Dragon Claw’s breeding area again. Hopefully, we can get enough breedable seeds as soon as possible. At least four hundred.”

“And I need to prepare for Queen’s Potions class in Shanghai. After all, it’s her first time, and I’m not familiar with her personality. I don’t know what will happen.”

Locke felt it was better to be cautious.

“Hmm? Why is the Golden Dynasty’s wizard Salonerus contacting me at this time using the Water Gourd System?”
