Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 348 The First-Ring Wizard of the Dragonbone World

One week later, early morning.

Locke spent the night meditating in his bedroom.

At this point, his normal magic pressure had steadily reached 3300.

"In half a year, I've increased my mana by 300 points," Locke said. "The speed at which my mental power is progressing is even faster than I expected. This speed is probably about twice the normal progress speed of an ordinary Child of the Elements."

"Based on this, it seems that I will only need about five years to reach the liquefaction stage."

"It's three years faster than originally expected."

"Moreover, I shouldn't encounter any difficulties. There are two reasons for this. First, I have formed a special relationship with the Force of Nature plane, which provides me with special support, allowing me to progress rapidly. This is even more powerful than the talent that a typical first-ring wizard gains from modifying their body."

"Secondly, it is the unique nature of the Forest Sanctuary's permanent defensive force field."

After adapting to the first-ring wizard stage for more than half a year, Locke finally understood why, in Mammon's words, the first-ring wizard stage and the Abyss Lord stage were the first time that one had surpassed the limits of their own race.

The soul of an ordinary thing, no matter how much energy it increases, has a limit to its capacity, just as no matter how much an object optimizes its structure, the upper limit of its materials will limit its upper limit of weight.

However, by engraving a permanent defensive field on the surface of their souls, wizards artificially created a new balance: the wizard's magical pressure increased, the strength of the permanent defensive field increased, and the upper limit of energy that the magical pressure shell could contain was increased.

In other words, as long as one continuously increases their magical pressure, the strength of their permanent defensive field will increase, and the upper limit of their soul will also increase.

"Therefore, the Forest Sanctuary Magic, because it can bless my soul through the external forest, allows my potential to increase faster than that of a typical first-ring wizard, meaning my potential is above that of other first-ring wizards." Locke pondered, "This must be one of the possible reasons that Dean Levi said could improve the potential of second-ring wizards."

"pretty good."

"However, it is conceivable how foolish the wizard who inscribed attack magic on the permanent defensive field was. The primary purpose of the permanent defensive field is not for combat, but for breaking through the limits of one's own race."

A grey dwarf servant entered and reported that a first-class wizard apprentice from the Potions Auction House had come to invite him to the Potions Auction House.

The dragon fossils I had previously reserved at the auction have recently become available at the auction.

Locke's eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly ordered the two catwoman maids to dress him and do housework. Then he immediately had a gray dwarf servant drive him to the potion auction.

I did indeed list this requirement at an auction six months ago.

Having determined the origin of his mysterious bloodline, he naturally seeks out dragon fossils, using archaeological magic to obtain the essence of dragon bloodlines and accelerate the formation of his own golden two-headed dragon bloodline.

Moreover, my recent research on a first-level magical plant based on the large green banana leaf and the large green owl banana also requires the use of dragon fossils.

If I can complete the research and development of a first-level magical plant, I can not only quickly improve my breeding level to the first level, but also obtain a first-level flying magical plant, solving my long-standing problem of insufficient flight ability.

Inside the potion auction.

Locke looked at the trader and a two-meter-tall, formally-designed wizard whose clothing was clearly not in the style of the Southeast Corner Region, whose body was enormous, covered in muscles and tendons, and whose neck was thicker than a normal person's thigh, but whose body had obvious deformities, such as abnormally protruding bones.

Locke sized up the wizard, who was at the first stage of the ordinary level, and gave him a questioning look. The other man's appearance clearly didn't seem to be a side effect of the primitive bloodline modification technology; it seemed more like his original race naturally looked like that.

In particular, the bones in his knees seem to be different from those of the people in the southeastern corner region; instead of five bones, they are only two, which makes it seem as if he has great difficulty moving around.

He and the trader were seated, while he stood beside the table, wearing a thick wizard's robe that looked like a cotton coat, saying very little.

The trader, a first-class wizard apprentice, bowed respectfully to Locke with great humility, but the strange, formal wizard treated his benefactor with indifference, merely nodding casually.

The formal wizard, however, had no objections.

The trader told Locke, "Lord Augustine, this wizard Taren Barbarian has a green dragon fossil in his possession. He's eager to sell it, so he's entrusted our academy's auction house to handle it..."

The wizard Taren spoke directly, bypassing the trader, and nodded to Locke, saying, "This first-ring wizard of the Great World of Truth, I do indeed have a dragon fossil in my possession."

He completely ignored the trader, took out a dragon fossil the size of a house from his astral ring, and smashed it on the ground with a 'bang'. Even after turning into a fossil, the hard dragon bones were still indestructible, creating a huge crater in the ground.

It was like a small earthquake had occurred.

The traders were angry but dared not speak out, so they had no choice but to keep quiet.

Locke looked at the fossil before him, his eyes brightening slightly. "It is indeed a fossil of a modern magical creature, a green dragon. Although the preservation technique is not very good, it is still relatively complete. The structure of the green dragon's wings is basically intact, but some of the dragon runes that dragons naturally have on their bones are missing. Legend has it that dragon runes are the prototype of dragon language magic script."

In a deep voice, Wizard Taren said, "Yes, Strange Wizard of the First Ring of the Great World of Truth, you have a good eye. This is a piece of dragon bone buried deep in the core of the medium-sized Dragonbone World from which I came from."

"Because our world was once chosen as a burial site by a large number of dragons, our world is cursed. All creatures born there are cursed by these hateful and selfish reptilian creatures. People from our world are born with deformed bones. We Kulun people are deeply affected by this curse, suffering from pain and torment. Those deformed bones bring me excruciating pain at all times. Until we received assistance from the wizarding civilization of the Great World of Truth."

"We have only just begun to resolve our current predicament, but transforming the world is not something that can be done overnight. It will take at least another thousand years to complete the transformation and improve the living environment of the Kulun people. This will require gradual change."

Locke nodded slightly. So that's how it is. No wonder the trader wasn't very respectful to him; he was a wizard from a lower world.

After Locke became a formal wizard, he learned that the wizarding world had colonized and was colonizing a large number of planes in different ways, while the Dragonbone World, a world that was naturally friendly to wizarding civilization, had obviously chosen a coexistence-based colonization approach.

It's just unknown which wizarding school in which wizarding land was responsible.

It shouldn't be the wizarding academy in the southeast corner region, because the White Wizarding Association here only has a few planes under its control, the largest of which is only a medium-sized world.

In reality, worlds smaller than large-scale worlds can at most be called planes, while the Wizarding World and the Endless Abyss are both super-massive, unique worlds/planes.

No wonder the other party called me a first-ring wizard of the Great World of Truth. So, is this how all the lower-level subordinate planes of the wizarding civilization refer to the wizarding world?
Is it called the World of Truth?
Locke nodded slightly to him, expressing a little sympathy. "Wizard Taren, I believe your efforts will not be in vain. Every wizard who fights for his own survival and the survival of his fellow human beings is a fellow seeker of truth."

"How many magic stones are you planning to sell your dragon bones for?"

The wizard Taren's lips curled into a smile, clearly pleased with Locke's words. "I want a quick trade. I need to purchase a batch of potion resources to take back to Dragonbone World and purify a piece of land polluted by Dragonbone."

"Therefore, I can sell it for a price lower than the market price and auction price. Fifty thousand magic stones, how about it?"
