Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 456 Trading the Book of the Demon God and the Abyss Ruins

Warwick, the silver-cast werewolf, raised his claws and then clenched them tightly. A vast amount of magic gathered, and the Book of the Demon God automatically combined and transformed. The flowing pages began to automatically assemble, and the spine resembled a skeleton.

A three-faced, two-armed, and over three-meter-tall page demon made of pages appeared behind Warwick.

“Each patriarch possesses its own unique characteristics. These characteristics are determined by the spell structure set up by the wizard and the nature of its magical pressure. The patriarch also determines whether you can use more advanced archaeological spells.”

"My sect master is the Book of Demon Gods, because it contains many negative energy particle fields related to the abyss."

The demon formed from the pages of the book has three faces: one is the face of a calm scholar, one is the face of an angry madman, and one is the face of an emotionless void.

Warwick the werewolf demonstrated the wonders of archaeological magic to Locke: "These negative energy particle fields, combined together, express an unprecedented message, thus endowing the reference book with special power."

“We archaeological wizards can invoke this special energy and transform it into a certain effect that we desire.”

"And the effect I want is to create a demon god with unparalleled melee combat skills, who can chant three spells simultaneously, and who possesses incomparable abyssal energy!"

Locke looked up at the demon god and saw that the demon god was burning with dark flames. Powerful dark energy covered the area, and the enormous external magical pressure, even just the magical pressure of light, was over 9000, which was close to the magical pressure of a wizard in the crystallization stage.

This is an existence similar to the external Eye Lord Abyss Energy, except that the Eye Lord Abyss Energy exists within one's own body.

This page demon is the result of all the negative energy particle fields collected by the archaeologist in front of him so far, superimposed together and adjusted by a specific spell model.

Warwick the werewolf already had a magic pressure close to 10,000, and with the addition of this demon god, his magic pressure rose even further, seemingly approaching 10,000.

He is about to become a second-circle wizard.

However, after his magical pressure reached its limit, he suddenly seemed to get stuck at a certain point, and his magical pressure could no longer be increased. Instead, it suddenly dropped rapidly.

Warwick said with some regret, "Even with the body of an abyssal werewolf and my Book of the Demon God, with the combined magical pressure of the two, I still couldn't reach the second ring."

"Damn the limits of the race's soul."

"Ugh."

Warwick looked at Locke, snapped his fingers, and opened his left hand, letting the Book of the Demon God automatically shrink back into a book, which landed on his left palm.

Warwick looked at Locke, his eyes gleaming. "I originally planned to use Dimensional Exile to leave after completing the transaction. But the abyssal energy possessed by the Eye Demon Wizard made me suddenly change my mind."

"I collected this book and made it so powerful. Can you guess how many years it took? No more, no less, exactly four hundred years."

"When I was one hundred years old, I established my own sect leader, became an archaeology professor, and began the journey of collecting information on negative energy particle fields. It took me four hundred years to continuously collect negative energy particle fields and make my sect leader so perfect and flawless."

"If you want to become a sect leader as powerful as me and continue down the path of archaeology, you must also build a sect leader and continuously collect negative energy particle information and collect items from ancient sources."

"But in this process, it is completely different from your study of breeding and potion-making. Archaeology relies on the collection of historical materials, not your momentary ideas."

“Collecting historical materials takes the most time,” Warwick Wizard said calmly. “In other words, if you were to collect historical materials yourself, it would take at least two hundred years to build a sect as powerful as mine.”

"This is already calculated using the shortest possible time. Collecting historical materials is slower than you think; it's a long and arduous process. You also need to organize the collected materials, which will take you even longer."

Locke frowned.

Surprisingly, archaeology at the first stage is actually a magical discipline, relying on painstaking effort. It doesn't require the same level of talent as breeding or potion-making.

Warwick the werewolf said, “But I can make a deal with the bewitching wizard. You’ve convinced me that you’re a reliable wizard. If you agree to come with me to a deep abyss ruin and help me decipher it, I’ll give you a copy of the Book of the Demon God that I have.”

"It saved you two hundred years of painstaking collection time?"

Locke raised an eyebrow. "So generous? Looks like it's dangerous there."

Warwick the Wizard chuckled and said, "The Abyss Ruins are special ancient tombs located in the Abyss."

"Of course it's dangerous, but there's something special there that I need to advance to the second-circle wizard level."

"I originally planned to transform into an abyssal body and go there with a friend, but after seeing the power characteristics of you, Eye Demon Wizard, with my Eye of Wisdom, I changed my mind."

"If you agree to this deal, we need to sign another contract certified by the Eye of Truth."

Warwick the Wizard looked at Locke and said, "But we need to go to the Abyss Ruins."

Locke frowned. "Not recently, I have to participate in the Yunze Cup."

The Yunze Cup finals are approaching, and I estimate I'll have to go to Yunze Wetland again, so I won't have any time left to do anything else.

Moreover, exploring abyssal ruins sounds rather dangerous.

Wizard Warwick frowned and explained, "That ruin contains special resources that allow archaeology wizards to advance to the second-circle wizard level. If you want to pursue archaeology in the future, you absolutely must visit that kind of ruin."

"In comparison, it would be better to join us. Our chances of winning are much higher that way. There shouldn't be any second-ring level enemies in that ruin, but there will be many dangers with second-ring characteristics."

"Alright, one more wizard means one more hope. How long do you need me to wait?"

Warwick the wizard said, “I can wait for you. And I can give you a third of the information in this book of demons first. Anyway, once you get a third of it, you will definitely want the rest.”

"Two hundred years of collection time, who wouldn't want to skip it directly?"

Locke thought for a moment and said, "It will take at least two years."

"Furthermore, given this situation, I don't want to sign a contract. I'll decide whether to participate in your operation based on my condition at that time."

Warwick the Wizard frowned. "Two years? How can it take two years?"

“Alright, two years... two years is fine, I’ll wait for you for two years. These things really can’t be rushed.” Wizard Warwick originally wanted to refuse, but he suddenly realized that he did need to prepare for a while before exploring the Abyss Tomb, and that would take quite a long time.

Locke calculated that his current magic pressure is around 7000, and he can become a crystallization stage wizard at the latest in two years.

Following this dark wizard to the ruins would ensure my safety and allow me to gain something.

If I go there soon, my magic pressure is only 7000. What should I consider to break through to the second ring wizard?
Moreover, I need to investigate some information about the ancient tombs in the abyss. If it is too dangerous, then I cannot go.
