Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 385 Meeting with the Great Wizard Sura
Fear immediately appeared on the wizard Santos's face. In his anger, he had almost forgotten that he was on someone else's turf.

The Plutarch family controls at least the Six Towers, and the White Wizard Association of the entire Wizarding Lands.

Meanwhile, the remaining potion masters had no choice but to leave the White Dragon Tower.

However, they weren't as angry as the wizard Santos, since they had made a fortune in the Land of Six Towers during their trip.

The Land of Six Towers is particularly oppressive to commoner wizards, but it is very generous to guests from various families, giving them all kinds of resources without batting an eye.

Thus, the thirty-four potion masters were forced to leave the White Dragon Tower. Meanwhile, Alicia invited the three wizards who remained to go to the second floor to meet the great wizard Sura.

Locke and the others followed Alicia up the stairs to the second floor. They then followed her through a magical maze and arrived at what appeared to be a residence on the second floor.

What appeared to be a vast, golden space, resplendent in gold, filled with a dazzling array of treasures, including various unique gemstones, which were inlaid on all sorts of fine gold objects as if they were free.

There were also many formal wizards and first-class wizard apprentices around the sickbed of Grand Wizard Sura, seemingly studying something.

At this moment, the great wizard Sura, dressed in magnificent wizard robes, lay on his bed, which resembled a palace, with his eyes closed and his hands turning a dark purple, as if he had been poisoned.

At this moment, Nehemiah Barrett, a wizard in the liquefaction stage standing next to the great wizard Sura, bowed to Alicia and said, "Miss, you have arrived."

"Grand Wizard Sula has just fallen into a coma again, and the time he spends unconscious in his coma has been getting longer and longer lately."

"Before the Great Wizard Sura fell into a coma, he instructed me to tell you that from today onwards, none of his children or descendants may approach this level except for you."

"In other words, apart from us, you, and the potion master you invited, no one else can enter this level now."

Nehemiah Barrett said to Alicia, "By the way, the Grand Wizard also said that all potion masters from now on should be selected according to the criteria he previously told you, Miss. I'll leave everything to you, Miss."

Alicia glanced at Grand Wizard Sula with some concern. The lifespan limit for a first-ring wizard is five hundred years, and Grand Wizard Sula is already 497 years old this year.

In other words, even if the great wizard Sura had not succumbed to such a terrible disease, his natural lifespan would have been nearing its end.

Alicia felt a pang of panic at the thought that the Land of the Six Towers and the Plutarch family would lose their leader, and that she herself would lose her grandfather.

In my memory, what will happen to the rest of us if my powerful and wise grandfather, who always had a solution to everything, is gone?
For over three hundred years, the Plutarch family had become accustomed to the long reign of the High Wizard Sura, and the High Wizard Sura was the backbone of everyone's life.

Alicia suppressed her panic, then turned to the three potion masters she had invited and said, "Please stay at our White Dragon Tower for a while. The situation is urgent, and for the sake of the stability of the Six Towers, we must keep information under wraps."

"But please rest assured, if you truly have no way to cure my grandfather, you can leave the Plutarch family simply by signing a confidentiality agreement."

"I just hope that after you leave, you won't say anything to anyone else. Just say that you were in the White Dragon Tower and tried to treat the great wizard Sura for a while, so you voluntarily stayed behind."

The centaur wizard and the witch's expressions changed slightly, but neither of them had any objections, since the Plutarch family's arrangement was not without reason.

Alicia said seriously, "Please, three potion masters, come up and examine my grandfather. If he can be cured, my grandfather, the great wizard Sura, will have whatever he desires, whether it be wealth or resources. Our Plutarch family can grant you one reasonable wish."

"The three of you may stay temporarily at the White Dragon Tower. The Plutarch family will arrange excellent accommodations for you. You may also make any requests related to potions. In principle, you may utilize all potion-related projects and resources within the White Dragon Tower."

The centaur wizard and the witch nodded silently, digesting the information in Alicia's words.

Locke asked Alicia, "Could I take a look at the potion-related projects that your Plutarch family is still developing, and take over a few of them?"

Alicia forced a smile, her face expressionless, and feigned indifference as she said, "Of course. As long as these projects don't conflict with the treatment of Grand Wizard Sura."

“As I said before, in principle, you can mobilize all of the Plutarch family’s resources in potion science, including participating in some of the Plutarch family’s unfinished projects. This may give you some inspiration in other directions.” “Alright, the three of you, please come forward and observe my grandfather.”

Locke, the centaur, and the witch stepped forward.

The family wizards and potion makers surrounding Grand Wizard Sula's bed all stood up to make way for him.

Locke looked at the Great Wizard Sula and realized that the Great Wizard Sula's illness was far more serious than it appeared from a distance.

It wasn't just its hands that turned blackish-purple; many parts of its chest and flesh had also turned into a black crystal.

It looks very strange.

“Judging from the appearance of his hands, it looks like he’s been poisoned by some kind of toxin, and the crystalline formation on his chest suggests an imbalance of some element within his body,” Locke quickly concluded. “But Grand Wizard Sura is a top-tier crystallization stage wizard. What kind of toxin could have put him in this state?”

"Moreover, Grand Wizard Sura holds a high position and great power in the Six Towers. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for a wizard with hostility to get close to him, right?"

Alicia replied, "It's bloodline contamination. My grandfather, the great wizard Sura, was a bloodline refiner. He had at least a hundred different magical creature bloodlines in his body. Some of these bloodlines existed in reality, while others were created through modification."

"In order to break through to the second-circle wizard, he has used up all his resources and energy in the last fifty years to create a bloodline called [Dark Cave Scorpion Woman]. He wants to use this bloodline as the core and utilize the remaining hundred bloodlines in his body to form a new second-circle biological bloodline."

"And obtained the characteristics of the second-circular biological bloodline."

"But this attempt not only failed, but also caused an extreme imbalance between the dark and earth elements in my grandfather's body. His body and soul were constantly transforming into obsidian crystals. As for his hands, that was actually a result of the treatment."

"A potion master gave him a highly toxic poison called 'Blackwater Poison.' The Blackwater Poison would cause an imbalance of water elements in his body, which would then be used to neutralize the imbalance of earth and dark elements in my grandfather's body."

"But the Blackwater Poison also has the effect of destroying cells, causing every bloodline factor in the body to decompose naturally, turning this wizard into a pool of black water. Therefore, my grandfather needs to take seven kinds of medicine every day to neutralize the side effects of the Blackwater Poison."

"So, when I arrived here, I found that the situation had become extremely complicated. There was an imbalance of three elements in my grandfather's body, and the Blackwater Venom was constantly eroding the blood essence in his body. The Blackwater Venom would take effect on all living things because living things have blood essence and blood factors. If all blood factors were broken, the living thing would inevitably die in the process of genetic collapse."

Locke said, "Honestly, you really should have let that Santos wizard stay. He is indeed the most powerful healing potion wizard among us."

The centaurs and the witch, seeing this troublesome situation, changed their expressions drastically and felt fear. When they heard Locke dare to say such a thing, they quickly nodded in agreement.

After all, the situation with the Great Wizard Sura is far too complicated.

There are three types of elemental imbalances in the body alone.

Moreover, the reason for the imbalance is also highly related to the hundreds of bloodline essences within him. They all realized that the more than one hundred bloodline essences that are the core of Sula's power have now completely gone out of control.

In order to survive, and to ensure the survival of its host, these bloodline essences began to expand wildly within the body of the great wizard Sura.

If it weren't for the sorcerers of the sorcery school who used spells to suppress it daily, the rampaging blood essence alone would have been enough to kill the old man instantly.

The most troublesome thing is the [Dark Cave Scorpion Woman] bloodline, which the great wizard Sula spent fifty years designing in order to advance to the second-circle wizard level.

This bloodline is simply too powerful.

It constantly draws in dark and earth elements from its surroundings and pours them into the body of the Great Wizard Sura, causing Sura's body to lose its elemental balance. He can only survive by using poison and strong medicine.
