Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 347 The Great Wizard Sura

Peggy Filaid hesitated for a moment, but still spoke the truth through the video communication function of the Gray Mist Slab. "I just wanted to invite you to come and try. As long as you do your best to heal him, even if you can't cure him, the Druid Ring can be given to you as a gift."

“Our Philaid family has been a renowned family in the wizarding land of the Six Towers for generations. Our lineage has never been broken, with fathers passing the torch to sons. We are carrying on the legacy of our ancestors and are certainly not short of such a small amount of money.”

"But if you can cure him, I can offer you two hundred thousand magic stones with both hands, and from then on, you will be able to roam freely in the Six Towers."

Locke raised an eyebrow, looking at Peggy, whose pride was written all over her face. He was slightly speechless. As expected of a first-ring wizard from a prestigious family in the Six Towers, she was indeed rich and powerful.

I wish I could be that rich someday.

However, this was the first time she had ever seen an ordinary first-level wizard so arrogant in front of a wizard at the vaporization stage, as if she and the wizard were completely different people. Therefore, the level of magic was no longer so important.

As long as they are all first-ring wizards, that's fine.

Locke frowned and asked, "Then, who exactly is 'he'?"

Peggy said with great pride, "He is one of only two ruling families in our Six Towers Land, the [Plutarch] family, the ruling family that has been in charge of the Six Towers Land for the past hundred years, and the [Sura] High Wizard."

"Grand Wizard Sura was also a great first-ring crystallization wizard, the keeper of the six White Elephant Towers, the great restorer of the barrier of the Six Towers Land, and a great figure who ended the bloody internal strife in the Six Towers Land."

"He single-handedly shaped the current landscape of the Six Towers, strengthened the ancient wizarding family traditions, and completely ended the continuous internal strife."

"It was also under his leadership that the wizard tower technology of the Six Towers Land reached a new level, constantly setting new heights and establishing a precipitous lead over the surrounding wizard lands."

Peggy's eyes gleamed with admiration. "But Grand Wizard Sura has been ill recently, so for the past five years, the Six Towers have been offering generous salaries to attract outstanding potion masters."

"A potion master who can alleviate the pain of the great wizard Sula will receive a large reward; a potion master who can control the great wizard Sula's illness will receive countless magical resources from the Six Towers for research; and if someone can cure the great wizard Sula..."

Peggy paused, a fierce longing flashing in her eyes, "He will be able to enjoy the highest honors in the Land of the Six Towers."

"As for the illness, I can't explain it clearly in the communication. As long as Junior Brother Locke agrees to represent our family to the Plutarch family, then the Druid Ring can be offered with both hands."

“Besides, it doesn’t matter whether we succeed or fail,” Peggy said. “We won’t be disappointed, whether we succeed or fail. In fact, we’ve invited many potion-making geniuses over the past five years.”

A realization flashed in Locke's eyes.

So that's it. This is probably the main reason why my senior, Wizard Anthony, was able to successfully marry into the Philaid family.

The wizard Anthony himself was a potion maker and a botanist.

The Philaid family clearly has opportunistic tendencies. The potion-making skills in the Six Towers are simply too poor, so they have no choice but to seek out potion-making wizard geniuses from outside.

If they were to be incredibly lucky and successfully cure the wizard Sura, it would undoubtedly elevate the Philaid family's status in the Land of Six Towers.

Locke pretended to be deep in thought, but in reality, he used the Gray Mist Slab to contact Wizard Anthony and Professor Harlan Vera to discuss the matter and prevent it from being a trap.

After receiving affirmations from both of them, confirming that this wasn't a trap, and was even one of the better ways for potion masters to gather resources recently, Locke said to Peggy, "Okay."

“I’ll give you my address. You can mail me the Ring of the Druid, and then I can go to your Six Towers.”

A smile appeared on Peggy's face.

Locke was a potion-making genius recommended by the wizard Anthony, highly regarded by Anthony, and also Anthony's junior fellow disciple.

At a time when the wizard Anthony is gradually seizing power in the Philaid family, this means that Locke is not only a trustworthy ally, but also one of the Philaid family's hopes for curing the great wizard Sura.

Peggy had witnessed the abilities of first-ring wizards from the outside world.

Putting aside other matters, Wizard Anthony was said to be not particularly outstanding in the outside world, but since marrying into their family, he has demonstrated abilities that far surpass those of all the formal wizards in both the direct line and the servant line. His shrewdness and competence meant that, within five years, after giving birth to a son with the eldest daughter of the Philaid family, he had become the de facto leader of the new generation within the family.

He was highly regarded by the older generation of the Filaid family.

It is evident that the abilities of the first-ring wizards outside are indeed quite impressive.

Peggy immediately replied, “Very well. Locke, I will send a first-ring wizard steward to personally deliver the Druid Ring to you. You only need to wait about two months.”

"In addition, we can cover your travel expenses to the Land of Six Towers."

Peggy nodded slightly to Locke. "Well then, that's all for now, Wizard Locke."

The next moment, Peggy severed the two-way connection with the Gray Mist Slab.

Locke waved his hand, dispelling the summoning of the Gray Mist Slab, his expression strange. "Send a formal wizard steward to escort the Druid's Ring to me. A rare magical artifact worth over 100,000 magic stones is nothing more than a trifle in her eyes."

“This is too rich.”

"The wizards of the Six Towers are truly a bunch of fat sheep with enormous resources but little ability to protect themselves. I really don't know how they manage to protect themselves."

Locke thought for a moment. "Never mind, we'll find out when we get there."

"The recent replies have all come from wizarding organizations in those small wizarding lands. Not a single wizarding academy in the Starfield Sea has replied to me. Well, apart from my age advantage, my job application this time is practically a blank slate, and the four honorary inventions I have are all at the apprentice level."

"I didn't pass the exams for the Potions Master Certificate and the Advanced Breeder Certificate either." Locke pondered, "Then, before I get a teaching position and before I reach the entry threshold of the True Knowledge Academy—the Liquefaction stage, it might be good to go there and make some money first."

"I've been really short on money lately, and I almost couldn't even afford the Druid's Ring. I also need to buy a lot of Swarm Consciousness potions and first-level tree-type magical plants to invest resources in my Forest Sanctuary. If I go to the Six Towers, I should be able to make a lot of money."

"There should be professional qualification certification exams over there too. It just so happens that all professional qualification certification exams have been suspended in the Southeast Corner Region... For the first stage of certification exams, where you take the exam is not important. What matters most is whether you have representative works and published high-level articles."

Teacher Harlan Vera just reminded herself that the Six Towers Land is indeed the best place for potion masters to get free resources recently. Many potion masters have indeed gone there recently and gained a lot of benefits.

Those potion masters who didn't try to profit from the situation simply didn't hear the news.

After all, the distances between wizarding lands are vast, and there are many barriers between them. A round trip can take half a year or even longer, so it is perfectly normal for information to be blocked.

Moreover, the magical resources in the Six Towers region are not lacking; they are at least one or two levels stronger than those in the Southeast Corner Region.

The reason why those in power only reached the first level of crystallization is entirely due to the system being far too monstrous...

Even the best place can turn into a muddy mess if it encounters a group of extraordinary people.

But this also means that there are a lot of resources there that are not being used.

He had his own good senior brother, Anthony, who seemed to be doing very well over there as an outsider, and had even become a person in power.

Therefore, I won't be at a disadvantage in terms of status if I go there, so I don't need to care too much about it.

Locke pondered, "It's just a stepping stone. If the treatment doesn't work, I'll persist for a while, and if there's no improvement, I can leave."

"With Senior Brother Anthony on my side, I don't need to worry about any problems."

The key point is that the Druid Ring was indeed something I desperately needed. The fact that the other party directly gave me a Druid Ring solved my immediate problem and saved me a lot of trouble.

Locke thought it would take him three or four years to find the Druid Ring, but who knew he could solve it within Professor Harun Vera's network of connections.
