Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 451 We can do even better!
Locke and the others began their testing. First, they found that while Hydra was incredibly powerful, it could indeed stack permanent defensive fields, creating nine layers of permanent defensive fields, a level of strength that was unbelievable.

However, there are still some issues, which cannot be called defects, but rather problems with usage.

After all, it was a combined spell cast by nine wizards, which was inherently complex and certainly carried a certain degree of magical risk.

The process of nine wizards simultaneously injecting their magic and permanent defensive fields into the Hydra plant is quite dangerous. If a wizard suddenly interrupts the process, he will instantly cause an energy imbalance in the Hydra vines, resulting in him being attacked by eight permanent defensive fields at the same time, which could lead to his death in an instant.

Secondly, none of the nine wizards can be too weak; otherwise, the disparity in strength would also cause the phenomenon mentioned earlier.

Of course, strictly speaking, this cannot be considered a flaw of Hydra.

Because this is a basic requirement for using weapons.

Under normal circumstances, a normal first-level wizard, as long as they don't intend to cause trouble, shouldn't have any problems at this stage.

Secondly, Locke also took the initiative to test the limit of the Hydra's superimposed permanent defensive field. Theoretically, the limit of the limit is unlimited, but in reality, its limit is the pressure that the Hydra itself can withstand.

When superimposed with nine permanent defensive force fields, the Hydra itself has to withstand the energy of nine permanent defensive force fields. In this process, a huge amount of heat will be generated, meaning that the entire Hydra will become hot.

This would normally be a harmless issue, since the hydra is a plant that can take root in the ground and transmit its heat energy to the surface. However, if nine wizards were to move it, the hydra might overheat.

However, after testing, Locke found that the problem was not serious, because the overheating of Hydra was not very severe. It was even possible to arrange one or three weathermen and storm mages from the Evocation school among the nine wizards to use ice magic to cool it down.

Locke gazed at the Hydra plant. The various subspecies of this plant were synthesized by him using Rubik's Cubes, and the adult form had also been synthesized once. It was currently an 8th-level synthesized item.

I still used the idea of ​​[color mutation], using the specific pigments produced by the internal color mutation of the plant to distinguish the storage leaves corresponding to the nine different magical pressures, so as to separate them and prevent the nine permanent defensive force fields from interfering with each other inside the Hydra plant.

In other words, the common pigment variations in plants, known as variegation, are key to maintaining the constant defensive force field within the Hydra without conflict.

Locke handed over the remaining performance testing work to his research group, and then left the Special Laboratory with Alicia.

Just in case, for the next month, everyone in their research group, except for themselves, will basically stay in the lab.

After all, the closer you get to success, the more careful you need to be. If you stumble at this crucial moment, it will be truly disastrous.

In the central floating staircase of the White Dragon Tower, Alicia nodded to Locke and said, "Congratulations, Locke."

“I never imagined you could actually pull off a project like this.” Alicia seemed very happy. “So, you can finally relax for the next month, right?”

"The testing work shouldn't be as tiring as before."

Locke nodded slightly. "There's still a month left, and I don't want to waste it. Although Hydra is beyond repair at this stage, there's still room for improvement in the rusty bead flowers that parasitize it."

"I can further refine the rust-colored beadwork."

Alicia lowered her head and smiled slightly. "With such a powerful magical plant, is there any need to work harder?"

Locke shook his head. "Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit."

"Caution is the best policy."

Alicia nodded thoughtfully. "That makes sense. By the way, these are two True Blood I made for you. You're not a bloodline wizard, so you can only have a maximum of three True Blood samples made by others in your body."

Locke took the two True Blood from Alicia. Alicia said, "One True Blood is a Secondary Berserk Curse, which can burn your bloodline potential twice. I think it will be very useful to you, so I made it for you. It's just not as good as the True Blood my grandfather made."

"The other true blood is the Blood Flame, which is commonly used by us bloodline wizards. The Blood Flame can lock onto the enemy's bloodline spirit and lock onto the enemy himself. It can also kill the enemy by burning their bloodline. I think this common bloodline spell must be quite suitable for you, so I chose to make this true blood for you."

Locke nodded.

Indeed, Alicia's choice was quite appropriate.

During this time, he continued to discuss potions with Alicia, and their relationship progressed further, even surpassing that of ordinary friends.

The two had a great understanding.

Locke briefly examined the two drops of true blood and, after confirming there were no problems, absorbed them into his body through skin contact.

Alicia sensed Locke's magical pressure. "You've been so busy, yet your rate of increasing magical pressure hasn't slowed down at all. Is it seven thousand yet?"

Locke nodded slightly. "Yes, I just arrived yesterday. My advancement speed wasn't that fast before, but because I've mastered the compression technique, I can now increase my mana by two points per night."

If the natural primal force flows back into oneself, as long as the speed at which one's soul's upper limit increases accelerates, then the speed at which one's mana increases will naturally accelerate as well.

Alicia's eyes flashed with envy. "At this rate, it will probably only take you two years, three at most, to become a first-ring crystallization wizard."

"By the way, I've already found the information about the lineage of archaeology for you."

Locke's gaze sharpened as he looked at Alicia. He hadn't given up searching for archaeological heritage during this time, and he spent every day in markets and other places gathering information in this area.

However, archaeology is the most mysterious profession among black wizards, and the lineage is hard to find, so there has been no progress in this area.

Locke was even considering giving up on the search in the Six Towers and instead looking in other wizarding lands, such as the Spiral Basin, where there were more dark wizards.

But to his surprise, Alicia actually found it for him.

Alicia said, "I found the man in the Feathered Serpent Pavilion on White Dragon Street. He needs to meet certain conditions before he can give us archaeologists a piece of the legacy—the Witch King's Codex."

Locke asked, "What are the conditions?"

Alicia said, "He wants you to sign a highest-level Civilization Curse Contract and brew a potion for him. He will provide the ingredients, and after you have seen the recipe, you cannot brew the potion in the recipe yourself."

Locke said, "What potion? I'm going to the Feathered Serpent Pavilion to deliver a batch of the Brain Control potion that I just finished refining."

Alicia said, "It's an Abyssal Werewolf Transformation Potion. It seems to be a race transformation potion, not a bloodline modification potion. It can quickly increase a wizard's magic power, but the side effects are severe, requiring a race transformation."

"It belongs to the field of Abyss Potionology. It is extremely difficult to refine. Without using the Primal Flame, the timing of that race conversion potion is very difficult to control."

Locke turned to Alicia. "He investigated me? Never mind, otherwise he wouldn't have come here and wanted to make this deal with me. Fine, take me to see him."

I was never interested in racial conversion.

On the contrary, obtaining this recipe would allow me to learn something from it, so I was very willing to make this deal.
