Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 423 Connection with the Witch Sophia

Locke instructed the three first-ring wizards to ask him for any information they needed, and for each of them to go back and prepare a separate selection of topics for their own consideration.

Meanwhile, Locke returned to his residence 10km from the White Dragon Tower. Time did not change very noticeably inside the White Dragon Tower; only the hourglasses scattered throughout the corridors allowed one to see the passage of time.

The magical lights inside Tower 2, White Dragon, are always on, as if there is no distinction between day and night.

Inside the study of the suite, Locke ordered the three wood elf maids in the suite to clean, while closing the study and activating the magic lock.

Then, he sat down on the stool and took out a bright green ring from his astral ring. The ring's roots and branches were intertwined, connected end to end, forming a circle.

Locke sensed the magical pressure emanating from the Lucky Four-Leaf Clover Ring, and his expression changed slightly. "Teacher Sophia's magical pressure has become increasingly powerful and of higher quality. This seems to be beyond the magical pressure possessed by ordinary crystallization stage wizards. Is this magical pressure at least approaching ten thousand?"

A magic pressure of 10,000 is a threshold.

A wizard in the crystallization stage has a magic pressure of over 9000 but below 10000.

Once the magic pressure reaches 9,000 or more, increasing it by even one point becomes extremely difficult and requires a large amount of resources.

"So, if Teacher Sophia's magic pressure is so close to 10,000, or even has reached 10,000, then she is very close to becoming a second-circle wizard."

Locke pondered, "It's only been a little over two years since we parted ways, and she's already almost become a second-ring wizard after going to the Starfield Sea."

"That's fast!"

After a moment's thought, Locke decided to contact Sophia the Witch for the first time after becoming a formal wizard.

The Clover Ring has three slots for first-circle magic, three of which have already been pre-stored by the Witch Sophia with first-circle niche communication charms.

You can contact me three times.

Once a spell slot containing a first-circle spell is used up, a new spell slot is obtained, which can then be used to store a new first-circle spell.

Locke sat in his study and put the lucky four-leaf clover ring on the index finger of his right hand. Instantly, the lucky four-leaf clover emitted a pale green magical glow, and at the same time, the leaves of the four-leaf clover on the ring began to sway in the wind, as if dancing.

A torrent of life energy appeared in this room.

This was Locke's first attempt to contact the Starfield Sea from other wizarding lands over a long distance. Locke didn't know if this so-called niche communication spell could actually do it.

Therefore, we have no choice but to give it a try.

Immediately afterwards, Locke seemed to see countless plants and animals in this torrent of life energy, from lower to higher, and from higher to lower. The evolution of countless lives converged and transformed into a long river of history. This is the history of the progression of ecological and natural evolution, and also the torrent of ecological niche.

Locke sensed the evolution of life and realized that this niche communication spell seemed to connect two targets that had been locked in their niches beforehand, and then use the principle of ecological resonance to create a connection effect.

However, this magic requires setting up a niche resonance with the other party beforehand, and each contact consumes one niche resonance, which cannot be replenished over a long distance. Therefore, the witch Sophia said that she could only use this ring to contact her three times before entering the Star Sea.

By harnessing the vast ocean of ecological niches, Locke successfully captured that one niche in a distant land, seemingly among countless galaxies, the only one that resonated with him.

“I’ve caught it.” Locke opened and closed his eyes. “Teacher’s magic pressure is indeed around 10,000. My senses are not wrong. She is at the critical breakthrough point and can break through to become a second-circle wizard at any time.”

“Wait a minute, this amount of magical tide…” Locke used the niche communication spell to resonate and couple his individual niche with Sophia’s niche, so that at this moment, as the niche, he was in the Star Sea.

Locke's face showed a look of shock. "What terrifying magical tides. Both the Six Towers Land and the Starfield Sea are mid-magic regions, but the concentration of magical tides between them is incomparable." "Is this the region that is about to be upgraded to a high-magic region? It is said that the Starfield Sea already has some of the characteristics of a high-magic region."

Locke noticed that his magic power was becoming increasingly active and restless in the Star Sea. While this made it very difficult to control, it also meant that the same spells could exert several times the power in the Star Sea.

Without him.

Because that area is close to high magic levels.

That was the most advanced area of ​​civilization in the vicinity; it symbolized civilization itself.

Just as all rivers flow into the sea, outstanding talents from various wizarding lands in the surrounding areas are heading towards the Starfield Sea, all in pursuit of a dream of seeking truth.

Locke sensed that in the Star Sea, he seemed to be closer to the plane of natural forces.

The Starfield Sea is like a giant. Standing on its shoulders, one can get closer to those distant void force planes, thus gaining a greater advantage in meditation.

It can be said that even just breathing a breath of air in the Starfield Sea is comparable to entering a first-level wizard's secret realm in an ordinary wizard's land.

“No wonder there’s an air tax in the Starfield Sea…” Locke said with a strange expression. “Very good, everything in the Starfield Sea is perfect, except for the so-called air tax and the exorbitant rent.”

"If I go there without a teaching position, I might become a first-ring wizard beggar in just a few days. Only if I have a teaching position in the Starfield Sea and am assigned staff quarters can I go there."

Locke sensed the surprise emanating from the witch Sophia. "Teacher, it's me, Locke Augustine."

"Can you hear me? I've become a full-fledged wizard and will be participating in the Cloud Ze Cup. I'm contacting you this time not only to catch up with my teacher, but also to get some guidance from him. The Cloud Ze Cup requires the cultivation of tactical-level magical plants, the kind that can be controlled by 3-5 wizards working together."

……

In the Starfield Sea, the City of a Thousand Towers, in the laboratory of a fourth-circle wizard of Parthenos, a Starfield scholar.

Sophia was conducting an experiment when she suddenly felt the magical pressure emanating from the lucky four-leaf clover she wore on her right middle finger. A look of surprise appeared on her face. "This is Locke's magical pressure? He's finally become a full-fledged wizard and has come to contact me. It's been over two years since I last saw him, and I still miss him a little."

Sophia the Witch raised her right hand in surprise. "The magic pressure of the liquefaction stage? Locke's progress is that fast?"

Sophia the Witch said to a second-circle wizard beside her, "Brother Naxos, one of my students is trying to contact me. May I...?"

The young second-circle wizard, dressed in a white wizard's robe, smiled and said, "Of course."

"Sophia, you go ahead. I'll keep an eye on things here for you. It won't be easy for students from the lower-level wizarding lands to contact you, so don't miss this opportunity."

"Our research group is a large research group of Xinghai Scholars. The atmosphere is relaxed, and there's no need to rush. Results don't come from hard work and sweat, but from one's own wisdom and insight." The second-ring wizard senior brother smiled and said, "However, may I ask one more question? You just said that your student has already reached the liquefaction stage. How old is he now?"

Sophia the witch said, "Hmm... about 21 years old."

The second-ring wizard senior looked surprised. "21 years old? No wonder... he also wanted to come to the Starfield Sea. Although this achievement is not considered outstanding in the Starfield Sea, he is learning magic in a lower-level wizarding area, so this speed is quite amazing."

"Alright, Sophia, go ahead. Don't worry, we don't need to be so diligent in our lab. Our supervisor said that he would rather see our wisdom than our hard work."
