Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 355 Heading to the Land of the Six Towers
Christine the Witch shook her head. "To be honest, I don't know either."

The wizard Anthony said to Locke, "I can guess. My current family, the Philaid family, the Adam Smith family, and the Ptolemy family, are all among the six most prestigious families in the Land of the Six Towers."

"Therefore, I can roughly guess what level of dark wizards the Ptolemy family would hire. I estimate they would be no more than the vaporization stage."

“If it goes any higher, even if the Ptolemaic family is rich, they won’t be able to control them.”

“The legitimate wizards outside are all shrewd and capable; how could they possibly be obediently ordered around by their families?”

Locke nodded. If that was the case, he still had a backup plan—the Jungle Guardian's Beast Panel.

Furthermore, by completing this transaction, he could inscribe his third defensive spell and his Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow Magic Plant, thus elevating his combat power to an extremely formidable level among first-ring wizards.

I really don't need to worry about this.

Locke said, "If that's the case, then I can accept this mission. Christine, you can have that expert go to the wizard airship heading to the Six Towers and wait for me."

"I will send you the time of my departure on the gray fog stone slab."

Christine smiled. "Okay, deal's done."

"According to the deal, if you give me 11.5 magic stones, I can give you three Cloud Sea Mist Pine Trees and five bottles of Bee Swarm Consciousness Magic Potion."

Locke nodded and gave her the magic stone first. They were all in the same network, and no one would turn against him for such a small amount of money.

……

Three days later, Locke received three Cloud Sea Mist Pine trees.

Inside the makeshift laboratory, there were three cloud-shrouded pine trees, each with gnarled branches and swirling mist, resembling a sea of ​​clouds.

Those branches resembled dragons coiled in a sea of ​​clouds, a truly magnificent sight.

The Cloud Sea Mist Pine has its own steam mist that can protect it, create forest mist, and build steam walls. It is a magical plant that evolved in nature and is not considered a combat magical plant.

However, transplanting it into one's own forest sanctuary is a very good idea.

Locke moved the three Cloud Sea Mist Pine trees into the Forest Sanctuary, and at the same time used a golden inscription knife to inscribe a third defensive spell on them—[Steam Bark].

This defensive spell is a second-tier defensive spell in Lilith's Hut. It creates a steam armor around the user's body, similar to steam tree bark, protecting them and concealing their form to aid in escape.

The reason it's only in the second tier is because it's very effective against fire and ice magic, but it's countered by targeted magic like wind magic.

It's not balanced enough.

Therefore, it is not usually the first choice for formal wizards at Lilith's Hut, but it has a special strength: it is very effective in countering fire magic, ice magic, and light magic.

It is a defensive magic that requires seizing the right moment to maximize its effectiveness.

Locke chose this as his third defensive spell precisely because of this.

In this way, his forest sanctuary would have nine magical trees of the first ring type.

The forest ecosystem that you can become will become even stronger.

The spell model of Steam Bark was inscribed on the three Cloud Sea Mist Pines. By borrowing their power, the Steam Bark spell could be used, which would also enhance the Steam Bark.

After all, the spell model of Steam Bark was originally derived by botanical wizards from Cloud Sea Mist Pine.

During this time, Locke used his remaining 4 magic stones and 4500 contribution points from the White Wizard Association to purchase a large amount of materials related to breeding, botany, and potion-making. After all, he would be spending the next two months on the wizard airship, so he needed to buy a lot of materials in advance to read on the wizard ship.

I currently only have 5000 magic stones left. Once we reach the Land of Six Towers, Lady Irina will find a way to deliver the 60,000+ magic stones that she's supposed to give me every month to me.

Five days later, Locke led the old wizard Cord to the wizard airship docking site next to the University of Verdandia.

The surface of the wizard's airship docking site was a magic circle constructed from magic stones composed of special cloud-patterned stones, tunnel-core rocks, and woven-space stones.

On the ground, there are also numerous steel pillars as large as houses, serving as docking points for the wizards' airships.

At this time, there were already a few scattered first-ring wizards waiting around the dock.

Locke looked up at the sky. According to the schedule, the wizard airship should be docking here and staying for an hour.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've ever seen a wizard airship." Locke looked up at the sky. At this moment, the wizard airship was approaching. In the depths of the sea of ​​clouds, there was a huge shadow, like a giant whale descending from the sky.

The enormous shadow enveloped everyone on the ground in an instant, and a powerful demonic pressure swept over them and landed on the ground.

"This magical pressure... ordinary wizard apprentices would have to kneel down if they came here," Locke said in surprise.

The thick clouds were suddenly smashed open, and from the torn sea of ​​clouds, a pure golden, blazing light shone down, so bright that no one could open their eyes.

A second sun appeared in the sky, and endless golden-red rays of light fell to the ground like rain. The entire shape of the enormous wizard airship resembled an elegant, streamlined, silver-white shuttle.

In the middle of the shuttle, in the hollow part, is a genuine sun fireball. Above the sun fireball are some seemingly tiny floating staircases. Many golems are stepping on these floating staircases, constantly pouring various materials from the buckets they are carrying into the sun.

And the sun, under the control of the runic array of the wizard's airship, was also being controlled to continuously eject matter outwards.

At this moment, the silver shuttle descended from the sky and landed on the steel pillars on the ground. At the same time, the wizard airship broadcast a message: "The Sun Chasing Silver Shuttle is in position. All wizards who have purchased tickets, please board the Sun Chasing Silver Shuttle wizard airship within one hour."

"One hour later, the Sun Chasing Silver Shuttle airship will start on time and head to the land of the Six Towers."

Locke was surprised to find that the wizard airship was so imposing in appearance, completely different from the large balloon airship he had expected.

Its driving method is surprisingly that it is powered by a small sun.

Wizard Cord said to Locke, "Lord Augustine, wizard airships are usually void warships that have been discarded from the planar battlefield. This one is a small void warship."

"After all, crossing the Wizarding Lands involves passing through many perilous regions. Without a Void Warship, an ordinary Wizarding Ship would definitely not be able to get through."

Locke nodded; he had observed the miniature sun and realized what was happening.

That should be the solar transmutation array created by an alchemist at the first stage of the process, as mentioned in the article. It's just a bit larger in scale, but the principle should still be the same as the solar transmutation array.

The Solar Alchemy Array can continuously melt and transform materials.

As the materials are constantly being transformed, they release a large amount of energy, so with a little utilization, they can be used as the power source for the wizard warship in front of us.

The void warship before us is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces of alchemy.

In principle, the Sun Transmutation Array is an alchemical transmutation array. So, does this wizard airship have to continue transmuting magical materials and making magical equipment while it's flying?
Wizard Cord said, "Lord Augustine, we are about to board the ship."

Locke nodded and began to scan his surroundings, after all, he still had five bottles of Swarm Consciousness Potion and 30,000 magic stones from them. "We still have to wait for someone."
