Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 394 The Eye of Truth
Locke placed the ten bottles of Homeland Potion that Alicia had given him into his Astral Ring, took one out, and drank it.

However, after drinking it, there was no special reaction; it was just like drinking plain water.

Next, Locke and Alicia put on special protective suits. The black rubber bodysuits stuck to their bodies and then quickly disappeared without any feeling of restriction, making people marvel at the wonder of alchemy.

Locke put on a white wizard's robe over his protective suit. Just as Locke was about to step into the spatial vortex, Alicia stopped him.

Alicia took out a one-ring version of the True Sight Crystal from her hand and explained to Locke, "We need to use the True Sight Crystal to record the scene, and if we encounter danger in which we cannot escape, this True Sight Crystal will try to fly out on its own, leave that strange plane through the spatial vortex, and try to call for help from the outside world."

“Our Plutarch family wizards can send people in to rescue us.”

"Furthermore, according to the requirements of the White Wizard Association, all planar exploration operations must be supervised by the White Wizard Association and subject to random supervision by the Ethics Review Committee, so we need to keep records."

"Although it's just a formality, it will keep many lawless wizards in check, preventing them from wantonly destroying and destroying other civilizations in other planes."

Alicia held the True Sight Crystal in her right palm and said, "I am Alicia Plutarch, and this is Locke Augustine. Today, the two of us are going to enter this unfamiliar plane."

"We two will abide by the White Wizards' Declaration and always remember our sacred mission—to reshape the ignorant world with truth and order."

"From now on, our actions will be subject to the supervision of the Ethics Review Committee of the White Wizard Association."

Alicia hesitated for a moment, then said to Locke, "In fact, in principle, I should also recite a spell to summon the Eye of Truth from the White Wizard Association headquarters to monitor us, so that all our actions will be scored by the Eye of Truth."

"The association's point is that basic human rights must be guaranteed, and what constitutes civilization must be demonstrated. We wizards, whether in the material plane or in other planes, cannot do the disorderly things that dark wizards do. Moreover, the valuable resources of many planes are their own civilization and population, not simply land."

"Therefore, destroying civilizations at will, or slaughtering humans and intelligent beings, is tantamount to damaging the assets of the White Wizard Association. Such behavior will result in a deduction of points by the Eye of Truth. Everyone starts with 1000 points, which will automatically recover over time. As long as all 1000 points are not deducted, there will be no problem."

“Destroying civilization, wasting resources, destroying the world, and indiscriminately slaughtering humans can all result in points being deducted.”

"It's just a matter of how many points you get."

"But in general, the White Wizards Association's requirements for us white wizards are much more lenient than in the Prime Material Plane. For example, killing a human or a highly intelligent civilized being at will only result in a deduction of 1 point and a warning from the Eye of Truth."

"However, it is perfectly acceptable to kill any human or other intelligent life form that actively provokes or attacks this wizard, or that is disrespectful to our wizarding civilization. Furthermore, under certain special circumstances, we can even apply to the Eye of Truth for special rights to, to a certain extent, completely disregard ethical and moral constraints and carry out dimensional colonization operations."

Alicia said, "Some wizards may not summon the Eye of Truth when they explore different planes, but summoning the Eye of Truth can bring us many conveniences. Most importantly, if we encounter danger, the Eye of Truth can provide us with certain safety assistance, or even help us seek help from the outside world."

"The Eye of Truth can even provide a list of items for exchange, and offer supportive assistance from the White Wizard Association headquarters for all dimensional exploration activities."

"But I cannot recite the incantation to summon the Eye of Truth right now."

"The entrance to this plane may hold great secrets in the hidden place of my Plutarch family. Moreover, once I summon the Eye of Truth, the White Wizard Association of the Six Towers will also be able to find out about this place and the plane that my grandfather hid. Therefore, I have no choice but to take the risk and explore it directly without summoning the Eye of Truth."

Locke said, "I understand."

Alicia said, "But don't worry, when our Six Towers land first entered the Tver plane under the leadership of my grandfather, the great wizard Sura, we did not use the Eye of Truth."

"The Eye of Truth is only activated when one has complete control over that plane, confirmed its ownership, and needs to use some of its functions to develop specific resources. Therefore, even without using the Eye of Truth, it is still considered a normal process of exploring a plane."

Locke nodded. He couldn't access this kind of knowledge in the Southeast Corner because he wasn't a high-ranking wizard there. But in the Land of Six Towers, through various coincidences, he had infiltrated the actions of the higher-ups in this wizarding land, and thus was able to learn a great deal about this subject.

Alicia released the True Sight Crystal from her hand. Instantly, this first-ring level magical artifact, the True Sight Crystal, circled above the two of them, then automatically became invisible and followed them, automatically recording everything that happened.

After that, Alicia led the way into the spatial vortex. "Locke, let's go."

The two passed through the spatial vortex, and the next moment, a white light burst forth. Before the white light disappeared, Locke heard many birds chirping. He opened his eyes and saw that the surrounding grass was lush and green, and the air was filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers.

Alicia and I arrived at a small hillside.

The surrounding area was lush with green grass, incredibly beautiful, and the sky was a deep blue, looking no different from the wizarding world.

"It's such a similar world." Alicia looked around and thought, "The world's laws don't even seem to reject us much. You see, this world's malice and suppression towards us are very little, so I can use my magic freely."

Alicia took out some equipment and began to examine this world. "The composition of the air is very similar to our wizarding world. There are only five basic elements: wind, water, fire, and earth, as well as a very small amount of ether. There is no light or darkness."

"The etheric elementary particles are the key to determining whether this plane is a matter plane or an energy plane, but the etheric element in this plane is so scarce that it is almost impossible for wizards to obtain it in the natural environment, so it can be regarded as non-existent (for wizards)."

"Therefore, the spells of the Transfiguration School, the Evocation School, the Necromancy School, and some related spells will be affected in this world."

"But your botanical magic and my bloodline modification magic will not be affected in any way. After all, plants and bloodline modification are things that are basically born in every living world, and their stability is very high."

Alicia hesitated for a moment, then took off her wizard robes and protective suit, put them back on, and took a breath of fresh air.

"Sure enough, the climate and basic elements of this world are similar to our world, and we can walk directly in this world."

"This is a plane of life, with so many plants, even higher plants, so it must have given rise to advanced animals. I wonder if there are any intelligent beings here."

"This world even has magical tides, and they're not weak; they're probably at the low magic level. So, we can use magic freely here. In some worlds without magical tides, the mana in our bodies diminishes with each use, so we have to limit the number of spells we can use, or bring special supplies when we enter."

Alicia's eyes revealed deep doubt. "Inside the White Dragon Tower, in a room on the third floor of my grandfather's residence, there is actually a plane that is so similar to our wizarding world."

“Why doesn’t Grandfather take it out and let our Plutarch family and the wizards of the Six Towers develop it together? This plane is of great value. There are even magical tides here, making development extremely easy.”

"Moreover, judging from this scale, this is likely a medium-sized world. Otherwise, the world could never be so complete. Some small life worlds are just bare ground and some rudimentary mosses."

At that time, Locke was also observing this world with curiosity. It was his first time exploring a different plane, so he found it very novel.

Suddenly, he heard someone calling out to him from behind. "Hey, you two people dressed in strange clothes, you must be adventurers too, right? Then hurry up and come help us! This monster is way too high a level, our team can't handle it."

"Damn Adventurers' Guild! This monster is clearly a C-rank, but we accepted a D-rank quest!"

"You two, don't just stand there and watch!!"
