Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 238 Gift of the Black Locked Sword Bamboo

Locke temporarily found a place to settle down and regroup, and gave the two Eye of Perseus lichens to Albert and Sisyphus.

After obtaining the Eye of Perseus lichen, Albert and Sisyphus quickly used their respective plant magic to control this magical plant.

Albert, in particular, had mastered a defensive spell model with a level 0.8 ring, so his efficiency in using the Eye of Perseus Lichen was even higher than Locke's.

Albert tested the Perseus's Eye lichen in his hand briefly, then nodded to Locke and said, "It's really good."

"The strength of this defensive magical plant is even higher than that of the Gear Iron Thorn."

"Moreover, the effect of this magical plant on curse magic... is simply astonishing!"

"In my experience, if we can equip ourselves with this magical plant on a large scale, the situation in our academy's battle against the Blood Curse Court will change dramatically."

A modified ghoul wandering in the research institute's corridor spotted them and excitedly ran towards them.

Albert manipulated the Eye of Perseus in his hand and stood in front of the ghoul. The ghoul crashed into the Eye of Perseus, and immediately the eye pattern at the core of the Eye of Perseus lit up with a green light.

There was a 'whoosh' sound.

The entire ghoul was torn apart by blood and flesh, completely collapsing and turning into a pile of lifeless minced meat.

Because the cursed particles within its body were less perfect, this time, under the effect of the magical counterattack, the cursed particles completely collapsed and disintegrated.

Of course, this is also because Albert has 800 mana and a higher level of understanding of plant magic, which allows him to better utilize the Eye of Perseus lichen.

Locke discovered that the magical plant seemed to be several times stronger in Albert's hands than it was in his own.

However, this is not a problem; in fact, it may even be beneficial to you.

Anyway, I'm just a breeder who provides magical plants.

Albert glanced at the ghoul, now dead from the magical counterattack, then at Locke. "The power of this magical plant... is beyond my wildest imagination. If only we could develop specialized plant-based magic..."

“Locke, when we get back, I can recommend a few plant-related research groups that I have a good relationship with. With their abilities, they can definitely develop defensive spells suitable for the Perseus Eye Lichen.”

Albert said, "It feels like there's finally hope of getting rid of that outdated defensive magic plant from Green Seed Studio."

Albert took out a thorn from the Astral Ring. Its thorns were shaped like gears, and the branches and leaves of this thorn had a natural tendency to mesh.

He softly uttered a spell, and instantly the gear-like thorns of the thorn bush automatically climbed up his body, covering his entire surface and forming a thorn armor.

Locke looked at the plant curiously. "Is this the defensive magic plant project from Green Seed Studio, which has been passed down for hundreds of years?"

Albert nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."

"But now it seems that this thing is not as good as your Eye of Perseus lichen."

Albert thought for a moment, “Locke, you gave me a nice gift. So I should give you something in return.”

He looked at the large blue owl banana tree behind Locke and pondered for a moment before saying, "Moreover, we will need your rare flying magical plant to escape this enclosed area."

"How about this, I'll give you my rare magical plant, the Black Lock Sword Bamboo."

Locke looked at Albert with a puzzled expression. "Senior, why did you give me your commonly used magical plant weapon?"

Albert did not explain immediately, but instead whispered a spell to sever the connection between his magic and the Black Lock Bamboo.

Albert grunted, and the roots of the black bamboo sword that had been wrapped around his left hand officially detached from it.

At the same time, Albert did not stop, continuing to chant the incantation, and the black lock root of the sword bamboo wrapped around Locke's left hand, "Junior Brother Locke, relax your mental power, do not resist."

"I'm helping you quickly complete the magic graft. The situation is urgent, and there's no time for you to do it yourself."

“I heard you mention before that you drank the Giant Tree Heart potion concocted by Sophia and that you have Talmud Tree Spirit energy in your body, so you should be able to subdue my Black Lock Bamboo in a short time.”

Locke sensed a powerful magical pressure emanating from the Black Chain Bamboo, a characteristic of Albert's near-first-ring wizarding power. This Black Chain Bamboo, nurtured by Albert's magic for so long, was several times stronger than its kind.

A powerful demonic pressure emanated from the black bamboo sword and was transmitted to him.

'Hmm? This magical plant… this magical plant can actually store Senior Albert's magical pressure inside. It's a special magical plant that can store magical pressure. It can store about 100 units of magical pressure.'

Locke pondered. 'No wonder my senior gave me this magical plant. With it, it's like carrying an external magic pressure device; it can instantly raise my magic pressure from just over five hundred to over six hundred.'

'With increased base magic pressure, my base flight speed when using flying plant magic will also increase, allowing me to carry two people out of the magic trap corridor.'

With Albert's incantation, the roots of the black basil plant completely wrapped around Locke's left arm, sharing a spot with his clivia.

Albert's magical pressure spread from the Black Lock Sword Bamboo. The magical pressure, which had a ring-like characteristic, strengthened the Great Green Owl Banana, causing the veins on the surface of the Great Green Owl Banana to emit a faint green magical glow.

Like green glass.

Albert's face turned slightly pale; clearly, helping others transfer magical power was a very energy-consuming activity.

"That's good."

"I didn't expect it to be this tiring. I've stored some of my magical pressure in the Black Lock Sword Bamboo, so you can use it to fly and fight."

"Once your magic pressure becomes close to mine, you can replace the magic pressure I have stored inside. The Black Lock Sword Bamboo has many other uses, and I hope you can explore them."

Locke asked, "But, Senior Albert, how will you fight?"

Albert laughed and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Black Lock Bamboo is just my second-tier combat magic plant, Bellflower is my third-tier combat magic plant, and my most frequently used combat magic plant is [Sky-Splitting Leaf Fern].

"However, it hasn't grown up yet; it's still a juvenile."

"A lot of magical resources are needed for a first-level high-grade magical plant to fully develop."

"But it's good enough as it is now. If it were any stronger, I wouldn't be able to control it, and the magical plants would turn against me."

A fern-like magical plant, shaped like a crescent moon, appeared in Albert's hand. The surface of this fern-like magical plant was surrounded by wind formed from wind element particles.

Locke was slightly amazed. As expected of the most promising first-class wizard apprentice in Lilith Hut who could become a formal wizard.

Its accumulated knowledge is indeed profound.

He gifted himself a rare magical plant among rare magical plants, only to find that he also had a first-level magical plant juvenile in his possession.

Albert laughed and said, "Junior Brother Locke, let's leave here first and meet up with your teachers."

Just as Locke was about to speak, he suddenly felt an extremely negative magical pressure appear in his heart. The magical pressure was like a collapsing Mount Tai pressing down on all the spaces in the research institute.

Deep red spiritual lines descended from mid-air, like willow branches.

Albert, Locke, and Sisyphus all paled.

This is magical pressure at the level of a formal wizard.

what happened?
Has the Blood Curse Court finally discovered their intrusion?
The next moment, the cursed spirit threads emitted the voice of a high-level curse master, Rashid Taril.

"Attention everyone! A serious leak of experimental subjects has occurred within the research institute. Most of the isolation rooms in Zone D have been destroyed, and a severe ghoul riot has broken out. The situation is completely out of control."

“Partial loss of control has also occurred in areas C and B.”

"Immediately find out all the areas where the experimental subjects leaked, and quell all the out-of-control Pandora's boxes, as well as the cause of the leakage."

"This is my order—Rashid Taril's order!"

"Those who disobey shall die."
