Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 265 Star
At the banquet, many formal wizards turned their gazes toward Locke, and many of the projections of formal wizards showed expressions of surprise, envy, and disbelief.

Wizard Anthony exclaimed in surprise, "Starfield Sea? That's a truly vast place! I remember when I graduated, Sophia was only a second-class wizard apprentice. Although she was a super genius at the time, I didn't pay much attention to her."

"Has she already gone to the Starfield Sea?"

"My God, she's no ordinary genius."

Wizard Anthony's words were filled with envy. "A place like the Starfield Sea is not a place that just any first-ring wizard would dare to go."

"In places like that, it's perfectly normal for even a first-ring wizard to die of poverty."

Adriana also spoke up, exclaiming, "After hearing what you've said, Teacher and Junior Brother, that Sophia witch is indeed a super genius."

"The Starfield Sea... Even the wizarding lands of my Sunshadow Peninsula are at least two levels below it. I've heard that the White Wizarding Association of the Starfield Sea has begun to concentrate magical resources to raise the magical tide gradient of the Starfield Sea and upgrade it to a high-magic environment, right?"

“Once the gradient of the magic tide is increased, the upper limit of this wizarding land will also be raised, and the speed at which wizards improve their magic level will also be boosted. Of course, for lower-level wizards, this may not be a good thing, as it will make their lives even more difficult.”

At the banquet, a formal wizard changed the subject and deliberately told a joke, saying, "That's right, there was a joke about a formal wizard becoming a beggar in the Star Domain Sea. Can you imagine, a first-ring wizard in the Star Domain Sea became a beggar because of bankruptcy, continuous loans, and failed investments."

"Later, thanks to the pity of others, he managed to get a ticket back to the wizarding land where he was born."

The group of first-ring wizards began to sigh, reflecting on the hardships of life and the difficulties they all faced.

Some people started saying that, let alone the Starfield Sea, even the Sun Shadow Peninsula wasn't a good place to make a living.

From the accounts of these formal wizards, Locke learned that the so-called Sunshadow Peninsula was a peninsula connected to the southeastern corner region, surrounded by the sea on three sides.

Located on the east side of the southeastern corner region, but the connection point is blocked by the natural barrier of the Abyss Rift. Inside the Abyss Rift is a space that highly overlaps with the Abyss Plane, so that area is crawling with Abyss creatures.

Sun Shadow Peninsula, on the other hand, is a land under the shadow of the sun. There, there is a special celestial phenomenon called "Celestial Curtain" created by ancient shamans. It is also a place where the hours of sunshine are longer than the hours of night.

Therefore, the Sun Shadow Peninsula is shrouded in shadow year-round, whether it is day or night, and never sees the light of day, as if it is always under the shadow of the sun.

Therefore, it was named the Sun Shadow Peninsula.

There are many shadow wizards there.

Its shadow magic is highly developed, far surpassing the shadow-related magic of the southeastern region.

Harun Vera seems to be very influential in the Shadow Peninsula. His students have established a branch of shadow-type magical plants in the Shadow Peninsula, which has gradually become a prominent field of study after many years of development.

Locke seized the opportunity to ask Adriana a question related to shadow-type magical plants, as Adriana was an expert on shadow-type magical plants.

After answering, Adriana smiled at Locke, who seemed to be deep in thought, and said, "Junior Brother Augustine, you do have some good ideas, as can be seen from the quality of the questions you asked me."

"Yes, it is indeed possible to take advantage of the lightness of shadow-type magical plants and use grafting to increase the flight speed of flying magical plants."

Adriana offered another suggestion. "Professor Harun Vera is the main proponent of the Shadow-type magical plant, and the modern cultivation concepts for this type of magical plant all originate from him."

"You can go to the public library and look up some of Harlan Villa's works. I think you'll find them very inspiring."

Adriana laughed and said, "No wonder our teacher was willing to host such a large banquet for you. It is also thanks to you that we brothers and sisters were able to meet together for the first time in thirty years. Such an honor is rare even in thirty years."

Locke bowed to Adriana and said, "Senior Adriana, thank you for your answer and appreciation. It is my honor to join Professor Harun Vera's school."

Adriana suddenly asked, "Junior, you seem to have a very well-developed flying magical plant project, otherwise you wouldn't be asking such in-depth questions."

"is not it?"

Seeing that Harlen Vera was looking at him with interest, Locke simply nodded and said, "Yes, senior. I do have a flying magical plant that has completed its cultivation process."

Locke's words attracted the attention of many first-ring wizards, as well as other fellow wizards.

Flying magical plants are quite special, even at the first stage.

Locke's topic still aroused the interest of many first-ring wizards.

Locke said, "I have made some improvements to the cultivation of the Banana macrocarpa and found a rootstock type of magical plant that can be mass-produced for this rare magical plant. I have successfully cultivated it. It was just two days before the banquet."

"However, I am currently short-handed to mass-produce these kinds of magical plants. The cultivation of the rootstock magical plant I discovered is also not simple and requires a lot of manpower."

These words immediately elicited varied expressions from the people at the banquet.

Some first-ring wizards now place a much higher value on Locke.

If it were just a project to cultivate flying magical plants, it would only be interesting for these first-ring wizards.

However, if Locke really solves the problem of mass production of the large green banana leaf, then this project will be quite attractive to them, the formal wizards.

Unfortunately, most of the people here are not actually in the southeast corner region, and the different wizarding lands are far apart from each other, usually separated by natural barriers, otherwise they would not be independent wizarding lands.

Therefore, they had no way to propose cooperation with Locke.

Harlan Vera's eyes lit up as she looked at Locke and said, "Locke, you didn't tell me this good news beforehand, and I only found out at the party."

"This makes me, as a mentor, seem to have failed in my duty."

"You actually solved the problem of mass production of the large green leaf banana. Good, excellent, that's very good. As expected of Locke."

“Manpower? You’re short-handed?” Harlan Vera adjusted his glasses, raised an eyebrow, and smiled at Locke. “There are plenty of outstanding wizards here, as well as many of my students and their students’ students who didn’t come.”

"Because I only invited the best of the best."

"That is, you guys."

"These people can all become the manpower you need."
