Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 368 What materials do you need?
Captain Edward looked at Alicia in the crowd, bowed slightly, and apologized, saying, "Miss Alicia, I apologize for the mistake made by our Sun Chaser team."

"This is a sea pearl powder porcelain paste, which is quite valuable. Applying it to your face can remove the scars on your face."

Alicia kept her head down and didn't say a word.

The old butler, a liquefied wizard standing beside her, showed a hint of anger on his face. "In the end, this kind of thing happened because of a mistake by your team."

"Don't bring out these low-level potions, we have them."

“Miss Alicia is the heir of the Plutarch family of our Six Towers Land. This matter will not be left like this. Our Plutarch family will definitely report this to the Association and ensure that you commoner wizards and your ridiculous academy will never be able to set foot in our Six Towers Land for the rest of your lives.”

Edward the old wizard looked grim. He knew that the Plutarch family wielded immense power in the Six Towers, and that nearly a third of the important positions in the White Wizarding Association of the Six Towers were held by members of the Plutarch family.

The remaining third of the key positions were held by core members of another ruling family, while the other third were held by wizards from other families.

In the Land of Six Towers, all the important positions, whether in the Wizarding Academy or the White Wizarding Association, are held by members of these family wizarding families.

All the wizarding instructors in a wizarding academy may very well share the same surname.

If you want to be a wizarding mentor there, what you need is not an excellent resume, but that you have that surname.

Therefore, Wizard Edward knew that what the Plutarch family said was true, but how could they continue operating the Silver Shuttle if their school was forbidden from entering the Land of the Six Towers?

Even if they report it to the association, no one will stand up for them.

For the White Wizard Association, it would be easier to solve this problem by simply replacing all the wizards at their Sun Chasing Silver Shuttle Wizard Academy and having a new group of people operate the void warship.

This void warship is essentially a massive project into which all the alchemists of their academy have poured their hearts and souls. If they lose this project, their academy may very well disband and fall apart.

Under pressure, Wizard Edward could only bow his head to Alicia. "Miss Alicia, this situation was indeed unexpected. I can waive your fare... Please feel free to make any requests you may have, and as long as our academy can do it, we will certainly fulfill them."

Alicia looked at the old wizard in the liquefaction stage, his forehead covered in sweat, and it was as if she could see the clown wizard holding a throwing knife in his hand, with his fierce and menacing face.

Alicia was somewhat dazed. Clearly, the old wizard Edward was much more powerful and influential than that clown wizard, so why was the old wizard Edward so polite and timid in front of her, which perfectly reflected her status as a member of a prestigious family in the Six Towers, while the clown wizard showed no regard for her identity at all?

What are the differences between these two?

Alicia tugged at the old butler and whispered, "Never mind, Harris. This really can't be blamed on the Sun Chaser; they lost quite a few people too."

The old butler looked at Alicia in surprise. “But Miss, it was clearly these commoner wizards who failed in their duties, causing you to fall into a trap and even encounter great danger. We can’t just let it go like this.”

"They must be held accountable. They must never set foot on the land of the Wizarding Lands of the Six Towers again."

Alicia sighed, shook her head slightly, and then said to the old wizard Edward, whose forehead was covered in sweat from guilt, "Captain, I'm very grateful that you've waived my ticket. My only request is that you bring us all safely to the Land of the Six Towers."

Old Wizard Edward breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how angry Plutarch's butler wizard was, as long as Alicia didn't continue to pursue his responsibility, the problem wouldn't be too big.

After all, he wasn't entirely without connections in the White Wizarding Association.

But if Alicia, who represents the will of the Plutarch family, blames him, then things will get complicated, and their academy may face a huge crisis that could lead to its collapse.

There was no other way; alchemy research was far more expensive than research in other fields, costing money every single moment. If they lost this major project, he didn't know what their wizarding academy would eat the next day.

So many children climbed up from the bottom, finally becoming alchemists, finally obtaining certificates as alchemist assistants and full alchemists. But what they learned was all for the purpose of researching and serving this void warship. Once they left this void warship, at least half of them would never be able to find a job as good as theirs.

Edward the Wizard is a first-ring wizard in the liquefaction stage, which is considered quite powerful. He himself doesn't need to worry about this aspect; he will eventually find a job that satisfies him. However, he has to consider his students.

That's why he was so vulnerable in front of Alicia, an ordinary formal wizard.

no way.

He has a soft spot.

Wizard Edward said, "Thank you, Miss Alicia, for giving us another chance. Rest assured, we will safely deliver everyone to the Land of the Six Towers."

"The discovery of the Web Path earlier wasn't entirely a false rumor spread by those dark wizards. There is indeed a Web Path nearby, just not as large as we previously thought. However, by using that Web Path, we should be able to reach the Land of the Six Towers in fifteen days."

"It's one to two days ahead of schedule."

Hearing Edward's assurance, the first-ring wizards who entered the central control room were finally able to relax completely.

They talked for a while longer before returning to their rooms in the living area. Locke, meanwhile, pondered whether he should try to concoct the Mammon Powder potion on the wizard ship.

"The dark wizards on the ship have all been eliminated, so I no longer need to focus too much attention on that senior expert from the Hand of the Jungle. I'm getting a headache from all those outrageous things that old man spouts in my ear every day."

Locke rubbed his temples, his head throbbing. "It's just that I either don't have any of the ingredients for Mammon Powder, or I don't have much of them. I can find substitutes, but that might affect the potion's effectiveness."

Alicia appeared beside Locke in the corridor where witch's brooms and nimble boots were displayed, and asked him, "What materials do you need?"

"Perhaps it's in my astral ring."
