Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 920

Chapter 915 Declaration of War! The Dark World and Mount Golden Crown!

‘Bang~’

The entire Treasure World was shrouded in a thunderstorm. The terrifying power of Attila’s lightning chains was released in an instant. Even the demons and monsters who were watching from the sidelines were enveloped in it before they could react.

Locke, carrying Douglas’s body and all his magical brilliance, rushed out of this world.

When he returned, he immediately threw Douglas to the ground. At the same time, behind him, the Dark Evil King reached out a hand towards him. It was a shadow and darkness that could cover countless civilizations. “Wizard…”

“No matter who you are…”

The next moment, his dark hand touched the Black Hole Peach, causing the Black Hole Peach to suddenly open a black hole on the spot. The black hole frantically devoured his flesh and blood, trying to suck his body, soul, and dark power into it. The

Dark Evil King had gone mad from the continuous attacks, uttering the most insidious curses. He was originally a creature of the dark world, and at this moment, his mind was completely confused.

“Wizards~”

This voice pierced through the entire Golden Crown Mountain, causing countless wizards on Golden Crown Mountain to look towards the interior of the cave.

The voice of the Dark Great Evil King was filled with resentment and anger.

“I swear to you, I, the Great Lord of the Dark World, the Dark King Roro Ruya, will never let your wizarding force go unpunished. Just because you have trampled on my dignity time and time again.”

“I hereby declare that darkness will descend upon all of you.”

The next moment, before his right hand was completely swallowed by the black hole automatically activated by the Black Hole Peach, he forcibly summoned his right hand back.

In the darkness, a crazed eye stared at Locke and the three-ring wizard beside him.

At this moment, on Golden Crown Mountain, the Academic Committee, the Council of Elders, and the Deacon Group were all holding meetings in three different meeting rooms. The wizards in the three meetings exchanged glances.

The Council of Elders was a meeting of a group of elder wizards wearing red inner and white wizard robes. The meeting was chaired by a three-ring wizard who had not gone to the Genesis Academic Conference but had stayed on Golden Crown Mountain.

“Honestly, ever since the high-ring wizards went to the Genesis Conference to discuss the future of wizarding civilization, these little bugs have been multiplying. I don’t know if it’s because of Genesis or the Ascension Plan. It seems like it was caused by those brats on the Academic Committee.”

The third-ring elder to his left whispered, “That lord of the Dark World is courting death. He didn’t declare war on the Red Dragon lineage, he declared war on Mount Golden Crown. He doesn’t know what he’s doing.”

“A wizarding academy of our level cannot tolerate people from lower planes provoking us.”

The elder wizard to the right, who was presiding over the meeting, whispered, “The authority of Mount Golden Crown cannot be questioned. Today, many wizards from outside heard this declaration of war. So, war is the only option. But since the Academic Committee caused this, we should confront them during the Academy Council meeting.”

“They’ve done a lot of work lately, but ever since the Red Dragon Witch took over, we’ve inexplicably had more trouble. Wouldn’t it be better to develop quietly? Why do we always have to rush ahead of others?”

The wizards of the patrol deacons, who were also in charge of the various laboratories, thought for a while after hearing the declaration of war from the third-circle beings of the dark world. After confirming that it wasn’t their wizards who caused the trouble, they continued their meeting as if nothing had happened.

One laboratory director said, “We need to persuade the wizards of the other two factions at the academy meeting to establish more programs that allow more wizards to learn. Breeding, bloodline studies, and power studies are all too niche; breeding is a little better. Ideally, we should also establish a key laboratory for the Evocation school.”

Meanwhile, at the academic committee meeting, the witch Catherine, who was presiding over the meeting, had a prophet friend observe what had happened. Upon learning that Locke had contacted the Dark Lord, causing him to suffer repeated losses and directly declare war on Mount Golden Crown,

she immediately curled her lips into a smile.

“It’s nothing serious. Just another fool who doesn’t know his own limitations. The exploration of the Dark World was going to continue anyway, and we just happened to be discussing this matter.”

The true form of Wizard Trajan said, “Teacher, esteemed sirs, I was just about to report to you on our discoveries in the Dark World. Through months of research on the Sorrowful Flowers obtained from the Dark World, we have preliminarily confirmed two points. First, the origin of the nightfall on the Sunshadow Peninsula in the Eastern Boundary is from the Dark World.”

“In other words, the Dark World didn’t just come into contact with us recently, but has been in contact with us for a long time.”

At the Academic Committee meeting, the various Sun Ring Wizards, Third Ring Wizards, and even the avatars of Fourth Ring Wizards nodded in agreement.

Wizard Trajan said, “Esteemed sirs, you are all wise.”

He opened a virtual canvas created by the Illusion School, displaying the various things he, as an unnamed wizard, encountered in the Dark World.

“Look at these ruins; they have indeed been confirmed as wizarding ruins.”

“Secondly, through our research on the Sorrow Flower, we have confirmed a second thing: that the Dark World is closely related to the Dark Ages of the wizarding world.”

Instantly, all the wizards in the academic conference snapped out of their inattentive state and looked seriously at the plant hunter Trajan.

Trajan the Wizard said, “Then the wizarding ruins are very likely the ruins of the mysterious Dark Ages. The chain of evidence is as follows…”

“As we all know, the Dark Ages are one of the most mysterious wizarding eras. We only know that the wizarding civilization of that period was full of ideological despotism, suppressing the thoughts of others, respecting the mainstream, ignoring new ideas, and shaping authority, creating the Wizard God.”

“But one of the most important symbols of that era—the Wizard Flower—has been confirmed by my research to have an absolute direct evolutionary link with the Sorrow Flower of the Dark World. In other words, the Dark World is very likely related to the Dark Ages of wizarding civilization.”

A third-circle wizard avatar of the Academic Committee tapped the table with his fingers, thinking, “Then what does this have to do with Golden Crown Mountain? We only want to focus on the development of breeding science and dragon blood science.”

Trajan the Wizard said, “The wizarding ruins of the Dark Ages are the greatest value in themselves. Secondly, I currently have a guess that the rigid thinking of the wizarding civilization in the past was not just a cultural problem, but a problem of magical plants.”

The third-circle wizard avatar responded to Trajan the Wizard’s report with a bewildered expression.

“Very imaginative, but this kind of thing wouldn’t even make it into a second-tier journal. Bringing something like this to our meeting is a waste of our time. Is this Lady Catherine’s intention?”

the Red Dragon Queen said. “Let’s put that aside for now. At least those wizarding ruins are indeed a resource, and they just happen to be densely distributed in the territory of the Dark Evil King. And since the Dark Evil King has declared war on us, we don’t have any other way to deal with it.”

The wizards on the academic committee all nodded in agreement.

Because this was indeed a move that followed the trend, everyone had originally planned to discuss whether to transfer some resources to the Dark World for the sake of Trajan’s seemingly outlandish research findings.

Especially given the current situation during the Demon Winter, when the resources of the wizarding lands along the Tianjiang River might be completely destroyed.

However, the Dark Lord’s declaration of war left no room for hesitation.

So the Academic Committee immediately approved the decision to invest some resources into the Dark World for planar exploration.

Meanwhile, Locke, in the Black Hole Peach Chamber, leaned against the wall with his left hand, coughing violently, “I rarely suffer such a loss.”

“There’s actually a third piece in that place…”

“Witch King… how is Douglas?”

Locke turned and saw Douglas on the ground, frowning immediately. Douglas was completely black, shrouded in darkness, his magical radiance scattering like fireflies, hovering on the ground. The old

Moon Ring wizard appeared in the room, seemingly very anxious. He raised his hands, the eyes in his palms looking at Locke. “Young potion master, what have you done? How could you cause such a mess in just a few hours?”

“This crystallized wizard’s soul has been shattered.”

Locke immediately recognized the old man as a Moon Ring wizard of the Mind School and pressed, “My lord, do you have a way to save him?” The

old Moon Ring wizard’s thoughts echoed in Locke’s mind.

“I can use telekinesis to gather his soul fragments and reintegrate them into his body. Although this will consume a lot of my magical power, it is indeed possible.”

“This is something the Mind School of magic excels at.”

Locke was pleasantly surprised.

“Then please, venerable elder, save him.”

The Moon Ring Wizard was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke, “I refuse.”

“If you were like this, I could save you. But he… I can’t. He already has a second soul within him. Don’t think I don’t know; I detected two souls within him before you even went in.”

A pink, long-nosed elephant appeared behind the Moon Ring Wizard—this was his Great Magic.

The elephant’s ears were like fans, capable of flight like wings.

Its concentrated magical pressure and perfect spell model caused Locke, who was on the path of forging Great Magic, to brighten his eyes and reveal admiration.

Clearly, this flying elephant was the source of this Moon Ring Wizard’s telekinetic abilities.

The old Moon Ring wizard said, “This person is unclear, his identity is ambiguous, and he can’t even be considered a wizard from our Golden Crown Mountain. I won’t save him.”

“However, I can do you a favor. I’ll give you one hour. If you can’t collect his soul and take it away, or whatever, then I’ll use telekinesis to sweep these soul fragments away like trash and throw them into the Black Hole Witch Peach.” The

old Moon Ring wizard’s figure disappeared, forcibly relocating himself using telekinesis.

Locke said, “The Moon Ring wizard’s ultimate magic is indeed significantly inferior to that of an ordinary second-ring wizard.”

He looked at the pile of soul fragments on the ground,

feeling rather helpless.

This is troublesome.

Locke looked at the soul fragments and tried to speak, “Master Wizard King, are you still there?”

Locke’s voice fell, but there was no response.

Locke frowned. He thought for a moment and decided to try using Golden Wheat to absorb all the firefly-like magical light.

Next, Locke prepared to seal the golden wheat plant to prevent it from absorbing other substances and contaminating it.

Just then, he felt someone tugging at the hem of his wizard’s robe.

Locke turned around with surprise. “Mr. Wizard King, you’re still here?”

‘Douglas’ got up from the ground and looked at Locke with a helpless expression.

“It seems you had a vague suspicion about my existence before.”

“I’ve exhausted all the nourishment I accumulated within Douglas’s soul. That Moon Ring Wizard was indeed a low-ring thinker. I’m not a soul parasitizing Douglas’s body. If I still had a complete soul, I could have easily created my own body from a little soil; why would I need Douglas’s?”

“I have no soul left, only a wisp of spiritual light. My spiritual light is supporting Douglas’s body. But I’ve exhausted too much and am about to fall into slumber.”

“This time I wasn’t careful enough. I forgot that times change. The location of the treasure left tens of thousands of years ago has long since changed beyond recognition.”

“Fortunately, the treasure still exists.”

Locke nodded and said, “Senior Wizard King, how can I help Douglas?”

The Wizard King asked Locke in return.

“Why help him? You’ve already found the treasure location. If the extraction failed this time, just try again. The token is in your hands now. If you need my help, you can extract my Light of the Soul from him and place it on another wizard.”

“Douglas’s talent and abilities are average. Leaving him aside won’t be a problem for you.”

Locke paused, then frowned.

“I have my principles. Douglas is a wizard in my team, working for me, and I’m very satisfied with his abilities.”

King Lagmamon chuckled.

“Honestly, there are always people like you in every era. I’m speechless.”

“Am I destined to encounter people like you in every era? Last time, it was people like you… who made me challenge the Tower of the Black Sun…”

“I understand.”

“You can be trusted. My Light of the Mind is completely bound to Douglas. I’m about to fall into a deep sleep, and I originally wanted to rely on myself. But since you’ve said so, it would be strange if I didn’t tell you. Place Douglas’s magical light and body together, and put them under a thunderstorm, burying him in the ground.”

“After the storm, his soul will recover. His soul has already received the magical inheritance of my Lightning Gate and undergone special modifications. He’s no ordinary wizard.”
