Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 406 Hussein's Letter
At the entrance to the dimensional gate, Locke and Alicia walked out and quickly returned to their bedroom on the second floor from the bare third floor, and reopened the magical lock located in the corridor between the second and third floors.

At the same time, almost ten minutes later, Plutarch's family wizards came up from the first floor to the second floor. When they saw that Grand Wizard Sura was alright, they breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Alicia.

It seemed to be the first time Alicia had done something so secretive, so she didn't respond at all to the greetings from the crowd.

She just stood there nervously, breathing and trying to calm herself down.

These people weren't surprised to see Locke here. After all, Locke was the potion master invited by the Plutarch family to treat the great wizard Sura, so it was perfectly normal for him to be here with Alicia.

It's a bit late now.

While Alicia was talking to these people, Locke made up an excuse and left, returning to his residence in the White Dragon Tower.

Locke returned to his residence and went to his bedroom, where he began to meditate and organize his thoughts.

At the moment, he had not received a reply regarding the teaching position he desired, so there was no need to rush to leave the Land of Six Towers, especially since the two wizarding families here were providing him with considerable support.

Although Grand Wizard Sura clearly doesn't need the potion master's treatment now, staying here will still bring him great benefits, especially the ability to use the Primal Flame.

Even just using the Primal Flame can bring huge benefits to oneself. With the Primal Flame, one can purchase the most complex first-level potion recipes in the Six Towers Land, try to concoct them, and then improve them.

What used to limit him was the immense difficulty in preparing those potions, but now, with the Primal Flame, even that problem has been solved.

After a night, Locke opened his eyes and checked his mana growth. He also noticed that someone had sent him several messages on the gray fog stone tablet.

Locke raised an eyebrow.

Because the person who sent the message was Hussein.

Hussein told himself that he had not yet received a teaching position offer from Xingyu Hai, so he temporarily went to Yunze Wetland and worked as a contract lawyer at a law firm in Yunze Market.

Hussein wrote on the gray fog stone slab: 'Your white wizarding society is truly interesting. I only learned about it through Professor Harun Vera's recommendation. Apparently, in some of the more prosperous and advanced areas of your white wizarding lands, there are law firms run by contract lawyers who draft different levels of contracts for important contracts for wizards from all walks of life.'

'Using curses to create a binding force that compels both parties to abide by the contract. This has deepened my understanding of curse magic; curses are not just for causing harm, nor are they simply a form of negative energy.'

'Curse magic could very well become a positive force, beneficial to some kind of cycle in this world. Working at this law firm has had a very positive impact on my research into curse magic; my progress is accelerating every moment, and my current mana is almost at three thousand.'

"It was extremely difficult to get into the law firm in Yunze Market. There were many contract masters who wanted to get in back then, and I didn't even have a contract master certification. Fortunately, the director of this law firm gave me a chance to start as an assistant. But just as I was sending you this message, I had already become a formal wizard lawyer here."

"The only regret is that after I started working at this law firm, I can't go directly to the Wizarding Academy in the Starfield Sea. I have to go through the True Knowledge Academy to polish my resume before I can apply for a teaching position."

"But I'm different from a tycoon like Locke. Making money and acquiring resources are my top priorities. In Yunze Market, I encountered many magical things that would be impossible to find in the Southeast Corner Region. Can you believe it? Here, a second-circle wizard strolled around the market like an ordinary person."

"Just two days before I sent you this message, a second-circle wizard, trying to save money, approached a newbie like me and asked me to draft documents for him. He offered me 10,000 magic stones, which was very tempting, but I refused."

Hussein seemed to retain the caution he had developed in the Dark Wizarding Lands. 'He's a second-circle wizard, so his standards are bound to be high. The fact that he thought of using a newcomer like me to save money shows he's a very calculating person. If I choose to take his business, I'm afraid he'll be constantly asking me to revise the standard contracts I make for him.' 'At that time, he was a second-circle wizard, and I was just an ordinary first-circle wizard; I would definitely be at a disadvantage. Therefore, I can't let a few kind words from a second-circle wizard make me forget the huge difference in our statuses and get myself into trouble.'

In his message, Hussein stated: 'The dangers in your White Wizarding Lands are no less than those in the Black Wizarding Lands; only the dangers to life are fewer, while the dangers to property and unpaid labor are far greater.'

'A slight misstep could lead to bankruptcy, or even turning you into a debt slave.'

'After reviewing the events, I realized that the second-circle wizard did indeed intend to turn me into his free labor.'

'Locke, my friend, I wonder how you are doing in the Land of the Six Towers?'

Locke was slightly taken aback. It seemed that Hussein considered him a friend, which was why he took the initiative to share his recent experiences.

After thinking for a moment, Locke still wrote on the gray mist stone tablet that he had received the full support of several family patrons in the Six Towers Land and obtained many projects, several of which had already been completed.

Not long after, Hussein sent a message via the Gray Mist Slab: 'I heard you were quite good at securing projects at Lilith's Hut. Now that you're in the Six Towers, you can fully utilize your strengths. I've heard many clients at the law firm say that in the white wizarding society, wizards who can secure projects thrive.'

'I really envy you. I can only work as a contract lawyer at the Mithril Law Firm in Yunze Wetlands.'

Locke pondered for a moment, then looked at the bronze members on Hussein's gray fog stone slab, somewhat speechless.

No wonder he dared to send such arrogant messages, leaving me to reply to each one carefully; it turns out he had subscribed to a membership.

This guy, just six months ago, was a poor wretch who had to borrow money from me, but now he's so arrogant. He must have made a lot of money at the Mithril Law Firm in Yunze Wetlands.

Locke pondered, "Speaking of which, I've heard a bit about the reputation of Yunze Market from Lilith's Cottage. It's the largest market in Yunze Wetlands, and [Mithril Law Firm]... I remember a senior of mine who has a shop in that market saying that it's the best law firm in that market, and unless you're a genius contract master, it's practically impossible to get into it."

Locke sighed.

Taking advantage of the great battle between the black wizards and white wizards, Hussein escaped the Blood Curse Court. From then on, he was like a fish in the sea, unstoppable. In less than half a year, his spiritual power was almost vaporized.

I have the Mammon Powder potion that I developed with Alicia, so it can liquefy so quickly. What did the other party rely on?
There must have been some serendipitous encounters as well.

Being able to enter the Mithril Law Firm is a stroke of luck.

Locke sent Hussein a message directly: 'Come on, you're already amazing that you got into Mithril Law Firm without even a Contract Master certificate. Don't try to act all innocent... I'm not a paid member, so I won't reply. I'll reply after I find a teaching position.'

Locke closed the gray fog slab. "It seems that Hussein has also had his own destiny after leaving the Southeast Corner Region."

"Yunze Wetlands? Come to think of it, the Yunze Cup that Grand Wizard Sula mentioned was also held in that place."

"Today, I'm also going to the library at the White Dragon Tower to look up information about the Cloud Ze Cup."
