Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 319 Nigwald Astrological System
Dean Thompson took a contract from his astral ring, signed it, stamped it with the academy's seal, and handed it to Locke.

After reviewing the contract and confirming there were no hidden issues, Locke signed his name, and a gleam flashed across the document.

The contract was formally established.

Dean Thompson chuckled, “The contracts of first-ring wizards are more easily bound by the eight virtues of wizarding created by the holy wizards. The holy wizards were deeply involved in the formulation of the social values ​​of white wizards. However, there’s really nothing to bind them.”

"Unless it's a particularly important contract, we won't use curses or magic; that would be too disrespectful."

"Breaking the contract, besides the practical sanctions, at most means that you will be more restrained by holy magic when facing holy magic in the future."

Locke nodded slightly, understanding the headmaster's meaning.

Currently, one of the core values ​​of Holy Magic is keeping one's word and honoring contracts. If one constantly breaks contracts, one can imagine how much resistance one will face when encountering Holy Magic in the future.

Previously, the reason why those dark wizards outside were defeated was because within the sacred magical barrier, the magical power of any wizard who did not conform to the eight virtues of wizards was greatly suppressed.

In the wizarding world of the southeastern corner region, a first-ring wizard is considered an adult. All wizarding apprentices are students of this adult, therefore the oversight of student contracts is slightly less stringent, as any problems can be directly attributed to the student's mentor.

'This mentor handles his students himself. Essentially, these students are part of the mentor's private property, so neither wizarding organizations nor wizarding societies, in principle, want to bypass the mentor and deal with his apprentices.'

Locke understood, which is why many wizard mentors would privately restrain their students.

Even Harlan Vera was like that; his network of connections kept a close eye on every student.

As a rising star within his network of connections, he enjoyed immense privileges, and as long as he didn't do anything too outrageous, nothing would happen to him.

The same applies to Angron.

As Locke signed a contract with the headmaster of Lilith Hut, Headmaster Thompson gave Locke a badge representing his special advisor appointment.

This is essentially an honorary title.

Dean Thompson glanced at the badges on the chest of Locke's wizard robes and smiled. "These are all apprentice-level badges, Mr. Augustine. You also need to wear some formal wizard-level badges."

"Becoming a full-fledged wizard means that from this moment on, you are capable of standing on your own. From now on, you will be a member of the wizarding world exploring the unknown mysteries, and you will nurture outstanding students and achieve remarkable results."

"On behalf of the first-circle wizard, I formally welcome you, new seeker of truth, to join us."

Dean Thompson said, "But this also means you have greater responsibilities. From now on, you will bear all the responsibilities yourself."

Responsibility, on the other hand, implies rights.

A phantom interface appeared before Locke's eyes, shrouded in a layer of grayish-white mist. By signing the contract, he had joined the White Wizard Association of the Southeastern Corner Region through this special method.

Therefore, when a spell attempted to enter his mind, Locke, at the headmaster's prompting, agreed.

Dean Thompson smiled and said, "This is the Nigward Astrology System, a prophetic magic platform jointly developed by several large wizarding organizations and some smaller wizarding organizations from the White Wizarding Association. It has many wonderful uses."

"All white wizards in the southeastern corner region will be automatically invited to join the Nigwald Astrology System after becoming official wizards and joining our association."

"This astrology system has many functions, but you are not a core member of the association, so it has nothing to do with you. For ordinary first-ring wizards, the main function of this astrology system is to provide a convenient channel for communication."

"Look, your military merit points should have appeared by now."

Locke understood. It was probably that the official wizards in the southeastern corner of the region had their own group, and the Nigwald system was such a group.

Locke quickly examined the stone tablet that had appeared before him, shrouded in a grayish-white mist, and discovered that it had three basic functions.

First, in the lower left corner of this stone tablet, there are several storage devices that can store simple numbers, runes, and geometric patterns, which can help you to perform mental calculations of certain data during battle.

Secondly, this thing seems to be a tool for the White Wizards Association to notify itself.

Third, this thing seems to be able to create a "two-way connection" with other people's panels, which means that when you add someone as a friend, the two people can send messages to each other on this panel.

Locke asked, "Headmaster, the dark wizards shouldn't have such a thing, right? If they did, when my teacher, the witch Sophia, and I were besieging that high-level curse master, Rashid Taril, he could have used it to notify those dark wizards."

Dean Thompson chuckled, “Indeed, no. Don’t be fooled by the fact that this function simply allows you to communicate with other formal wizards; to accomplish this function, you need profound magical knowledge, and even knowledge from multiple interdisciplinary fields.”

"The Blood Curse Court has a [Two-Way Voice Curse], which you should have seen before, but that was too primitive and crude."

"It's simply impossible to communicate over long distances."

"Our Nibelungen Astrology System, developed by Lilith Hut itself, can maintain contact with you over extremely long distances, but its range is still not as wide as the Nigwald Astrology System developed by the Association."

"Moreover, they can only make temporary contact through voice, unlike the Nigwald Astrological System, where once both parties confirm the connection, they can send messages to each other in most areas of the southeastern region."

Dean Thompson said, "This is a benefit for the official wizards in our Southeast Corner Region. White Wizard Associations in other wizarding territories may not have concentrated their resources on developing this astrological system, so other regions may not have it."

"The Nigwald Astrological System can only be used in the southeastern corner of the region. Furthermore, there are special spells that can temporarily interfere with the communication between the Nigwald Astrological Systems, so caution is still advised."
