Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 450 The Power of the Hydra Demon Plant
Half an hour later, Alicia arrived with four ordinary first-stage wizards.

At this point, Alicia was not only a wizard in the vaporization stage, but her magic power had also reached 5500, approaching that of the liquefaction stage. Moreover, as she held power for longer, her authority became increasingly heavy.

Alicia nodded to Locke and said, "These four ordinary first-ring wizards are all my trusted confidants, but they are all semi-elemental wizards, is that alright?"

Four ordinary first-ring wizards looked at Locke with curiosity and awe, and also curiously observed the ecological garden built by the Plutarch family, which was the largest recent investment project.

They looked in astonishment at the dragon crystal ecological dome that floated a hundred meters in the sky, radiating a powerful and earth-shattering magical pressure.

Locke said to Alicia, "Okay, but they all need to sign a confidentiality agreement, Alicia..."

Alicia blinked and pointed to herself, "Do I have to sign too?"

Locke smiled. Alicia had been in power for a long time, and she was more poised and generous in her dealings with people than before. She even took the initiative to joke and amuse him.

Furthermore, in the past year, she has managed to recruit four semi-elemental wizards at the first stage of the first ring as her confidants, which shows that she has gained a lot from managing the family in this year.

Even though he devoted a lot of energy to managing family affairs, his magical power did not slow down at all. On the contrary, with the help of continuously consuming Mammon's Powder, his magical power was about to reach the liquefaction stage.

Locke laughed and said, "Of course you don't need to. This project was originally your investment, and I don't think you would willingly reveal anything related to it. These four are cursed contracts drawn up by the Contract Master. Once you breach them, the curse magic hidden within will descend upon your souls."

"Devastating you."

Locke looked at the four ordinary wizards and handed them the contract and a magic quill. "The contract is of a very high standard, so the curse magic will partially bypass your permanent defensive field the moment you sign it. If you breach the contract, the problems could be quite serious."

"Take a look, if there are no problems, we can sign the contract."

The four family wizards took a look and discovered that it was actually a very high-level contract, costing 30,000 magic stones.

Locke didn't care about this, because the project was nearing completion, any unused funds would expire and be recovered, and secrecy was of paramount importance, so spending more money on this was definitely the right thing to do.

The curse spell enchanted on these contracts is the [Curse of Civilization].

This curse connects to the Eye of Truth at the White Wizard Headquarters. If either party breaches the agreement, the Eye of Truth will be used to launch an attack. Because the attack originates from the Eye of Truth, it can bypass the permanent defensive field of the official wizards.

Of course, because of the involvement of the Eye of Truth, this contract must be fair and just; otherwise, the Eye of Truth will deem the contract invalid.

Without much hesitation, the four family wizards immediately signed their names on it.

Since it was a contract intervened by the Eye of Truth, and Alicia made them sign it, then there shouldn't be any problems.

Once the Eye of Truth intervenes, the rights and obligations of both parties in the contract will be relatively equal. There will be no situation where one party has few rights but has to abide by too many obligations, or one party has few obligations but has many rights.

These will all be considered invalid contracts by the Eye of Truth.

Next, Locke led them to the area directly beneath the Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome, where their project team had cultivated the Hydra Demon Plant.

Alicia paused, staring at the hydra-like plant that emanated a terrifying magical pressure from its very form. "Could it be... that you've successfully cultivated it?"

"Can that project really succeed?"

Alicia turned to look at Locke, her eyes flashing with surprise and pure joy.

Alicia said, "No wonder you needed me to find four trustworthy wizards."

Locke said, "Well then, let's begin. If this experiment is successful, then it will be a true success. Even so, my research group will still need to conduct further testing on the Hydra plant."

"Observe whether it has any obvious shortcomings, as well as its main weaknesses."

The four family wizards looked completely bewildered, not understanding Locke and Alicia's conversation. They couldn't comprehend why they, four mediocre bloodline wizards, had been summoned here. None of them knew anything about botany, nor did they possess any noteworthy achievements in bloodline studies.

I don't understand why I called them over.

Under Locke's guidance, the nine wizards simultaneously had the hydra coil around their waists, and then the hydra began to become incredibly active.

According to the original design, to fully unleash the power of the Hydra, it would require nine wizards to parasitize it.

At this moment, Hydra had indeed obtained the power of nine wizards.

Locke noticed that the four family wizards were somewhat weak, so he extended his right hand. The White Dragon Ring on his right middle finger flashed with magical light, and then the elemental fission pool of the White Dragon Tower actively distributed energy to the four semi-elemental wizards to strengthen their magical power.

To balance the base strength of the nine wizards.

Immediately afterwards, Hydra went berserk. All nine mimicking crocodile heads revealed a red 'glow'. The mimicking crocodile heads seemed to come alive, waving in mid-air and constantly trying to bite at non-existent enemies.

At the same time, dozens of chains swung around the nine wizards, as if chains were descending from the sky, sealing off everything in the world.

Hydra is not only capable of combining permanent defensive fields, but it also possesses certain offensive and defensive capabilities.

At that moment, nine colors appeared on the hydra's tiny vine leaves. Immediately afterwards, the permanent defensive fields of the nine wizards all overlapped.

Each person has nine layers of protective shields.

These are: a layer of oak magic armor provided by Locke, a layer of dragon scorpion back armor provided by Alicia, four layers of elemental creature shells provided by the four family wizards, a layer of tree spirit skin provided by Barbara, a layer of [poison spore purple mist] provided by wizard Tacitus, and a layer of [life field] provided by wizard Montgomery.

Each wizard is protected by nine permanent defensive fields, their armor as thick as a tortoise shell.

Locke felt an overwhelming joy. Hydra had perfectly met his expectations, truly possessing the ability to combine the permanent defensive fields of different wizards.

Montgomery blurted out, "It actually can happen!"

Alicia was stunned. She looked at the magical plant in her hand, feeling utterly horrified.

She knew how much of a sensation this magical plant would cause once it was revealed.

At that time, the four family wizards finally understood why Locke wanted them to sign a contract worth 30,000 magic stones. It wasn't a waste of money, but because this matter really needed to be kept highly confidential.

Alicia gave the four of them a stern look. "Nothing about this place can be leaked before the Yunze Cup ends. If anything is leaked beforehand, I will assume it was you who leaked it, regardless of whether it's related to you or not."

"have you understood?"

Knowing the gravity of the matter, the four family wizards nodded hurriedly, indicating that they would absolutely not reveal anything they had seen that day.

This situation was also beneficial to them, since they had completely sided with Alicia, and Locke was clearly an outside wizard invested in by Alicia.

Locke's success was equivalent to Alicia's great achievement.

The struggle between Eric and Alicia for control of the Plutarch family, which has lasted for more than a year, will come to a complete end with the success of this project, and there will be no more disputes.

This actually proves that the four of them chose the right side.

The four wizards, filled with excitement, secretly glanced at Locke and Alicia, all feeling that they had made the right decision to pledge allegiance beforehand.
