Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 470 The Audience's Reaction
At this moment, the judges were all surprised to see the eight layers of permanent defensive force fields on the eight wizards of the No. 3 Sureas Legion.

With the protection of eight layers of permanent defensive force field, a defensive magic that cannot be broken at the first stage, the 3rd Legion moved in as if it were an empty field. Whether it was ammunition coverage or line-of-sight attacks, they had no way to deal with the Suryas people who had eight layers of permanent defensive force field.

The entire Third Legion was rapidly advancing towards Cloud Lake, aiming to breach the steel fortress hidden beneath it.

Meanwhile, a heated discussion broke out among the judges. The four third-ring wizards immediately shifted their attention from the first and second place winners to Locke Augustine from the Land of Six Towers, who was originally considered to have virtually no chance of winning.

Even the witch Catherine, who had maintained a cold attitude, frowned and glanced again at Locke, who was directing the Suryas people to use the Hydra plant on the dome of the screen.

The witch Catherine, who had remained silent all along, spoke up: "It's a pity that the permanent defensive force field of those Suryas people is so rudimentary, otherwise the power of contestant number 6's tactical magical plant would have been doubled out of thin air."

"With a slight optimization of the usage method, the eight-fold permanent defensive force field deployed by that plant called the Hydra Demon Plant can be expanded to protect the entire force."

“Those Suryas people are a burden to this magical plant.”

The witch Catherine flipped through the documents, then frowned. "Hmm? This magical plant's maximum stacked permanent defensive field has nine layers?"

Immediately, all the wizards looked at the witch Catherine.

The wizards are going crazy.

Nine permanent defensive force fields are superimposed?

Is this the ultimate turtle shell?

This magical plant has transcended its significance as a first-stage magical plant. In fact, its appearance can greatly enhance first-stage botanical wizards, allowing them to gain abilities that other types of wizards cannot achieve when using this magical plant.

It could even greatly elevate the status of botanical wizards in the first stage.

The witch Catherine nodded and said, "This wizard is indeed a person with great potential."

She glanced at Locke in the picture again, frowning slightly. There was a feeling about Locke that she was very familiar with, which naturally made her feel close to him.

'Hmm?' the witch Catherine pondered. 'This sense of closeness… is due to the third-ring level true dragon bloodline within me, the ancient red dragon at work.'

'Could it be that the young man possesses a true dragon-level bloodline? But that shouldn't be the case. Aside from the fact that even a first-ring wizard cannot obtain such a thing, the combination of a true dragon-level bloodline with a human wizard has always been an experimental domain for third-ring wizards.'

"And even if he truly possesses a dragon bloodline bestowed upon him by another high-ranking wizard, it's merely an acquired, foreign bloodline. My own dragon bloodline would only be enraged and kill him." Catherine the witch tapped her fingers on the armrest of her chair. "But now, I feel a natural tenderness towards him, a tenderness that comes from the true dragon race towards their young."

If that's the case...

Catherine the Witch pondered coldly.

For a long time, the dragon blood within her had been troubling her. The true dragon bloodline at the third ring level was too powerful, even trying to usurp her control and turn her into a completely red dragon, thus abandoning the wizarding aspect of her.

The power of a True Dragon bloodline at the third ring level is like the divine status of a true god as recorded in ancient texts; it is difficult to annihilate or kill.

Even if they are destroyed, the true dragon bloodline can be resurrected from the concept.

This put Ekaterina in a difficult situation, which can be seen as a side effect of the experiment.

Success and failure both stem from the dragon.

While the judges on the judging panel were discussing the sudden appearance of the hydra demonic plant, the viewers of the Yunze Cup were engaged in a heated discussion.

At this moment, in Yunze Wetland, a large number of breeders and botanical wizards are observing this magical plant.

Inside the screening rooms of various universities, the botanical wizards, amidst their shock, had only one thought left—could they also have such a magical plant?
Although this magical plant is clearly beyond the capabilities of a single wizard, it can be used in cooperation with friends to stack a ring of the wizard's most powerful magic—the Permanent Defense Field.

The temptation was simply too great.

A wizard at the first stage of the Liquefaction Realm at Boniface University looked at the competition screen and wondered, "I wonder how many years it will be before these magical plants featured in competitions are available for purchase on the market."

"I want this kind of magical plant called Hydra too."

A senior female breeder beside him gave a wry smile. "Let's wait another twenty years. The first batch of orders for this magical plant will definitely be snapped up by the major academies."

"It will be at least twenty years before we can buy them freely as individuals." "And if we encounter a breeder who doesn't want to sell this magical plant in large quantities, we may have to wait even longer, or even until someone breaks the seed-preserving sealing magic of the Hydra magical plant to obtain its seeds."

"However, our Boniface University should be among the first wizarding organizations to purchase this magical plant, so I think we should have enough."

Similar discussions and scenes are taking place throughout Yunze Wetland.

In Yunze Market, a second-circle wizard who specializes in a chain of planting rooms has brought a group of disciples to the Mithril Law Firm and appointed a first-circle contract master to create a contract.

When Hussein saw that the stingy second-ring wizard had come to his door again, this time with a large group of people, he was immediately frightened, thinking that the wizard had come to cause trouble. After asking around, he realized that the stingy second-ring wizard had not come to force him to work.

He looked at the contract the other party had requested. "Ah? Locke Augustine?"

The stingy second-ring wizard smiled and said, "That's right. A very interesting magical plant appeared at this Yunze Cup. You draw up a contract for me. I want to go to this wizard's door immediately after the competition to discuss obtaining exclusive agency rights."

Hussein's lips twitched secretly, and he said in a low voice, "No, your idea is unlikely to succeed."

He had witnessed firsthand Locke's demeanor when negotiating business deals.

Is this stingy second-ring wizard trying to take advantage of Locke?

This is unlikely.

The stingy second-ring wizard looked at Hussein with suspicion and said, "What did you say? By the way, Hussein, the Contract Master, are you also from the Southeast Corner Region?"

"Did you know that wizard named Locke Augustine before?"

The stingy second-ring wizard asked casually, seemingly without thinking.

Hussein quickly denied it. "I don't know him, I've never met him."

"do not know."

He glanced furtively at the staff and followers behind the second-circle wizard, fearing that the wizard might forcibly drag him to see Locke after learning that he and Locke were friends.

The stingy second-ring wizard's eyes flickered, and he had no choice but to give up. "Oh, then we were just overthinking it."

"Help me draft the contract."

"This is a first-ring level contract, you wouldn't refuse, would you?"

"I know your boss."

Hussein smiled and picked up the magic quill and the cursed spirit ink needed by the contract master to start writing a contract, even though no one would read it even if it was written.

It will have no effect.

But since it's something the customer paid for, he has no reason to refuse.

Hussein pondered, 'Locke, you've flown even higher since leaving the southeastern corner of the region.'

'Let's keep striving, the more companions we have on this path to truth, the better.'

The second-circle wizard quickly obtained a qualified contract, which surprised him slightly. "As expected of the champion of the first-circle contract drafting skills competition of the Rousseau Law Firm Alliance, the speed is so fast and the quality is also qualified."

"By the way, you're almost at the liquefaction stage, aren't you? That's really fast."

Hussein smiled and said, "Yes, Second Ring Wizard, this is also thanks to the reward for winning the Contract Master Professional Skills Competition."

"One of the opportunities to enter a first-level wizarding realm gave me a lot of magical resources."

Upon hearing the word "Wizard's Realm," the stingy second-ring wizard nervously glanced at the people behind him before quickly slipping away. He had recently become afraid whenever he heard the word "Wizard's Realm," since he owed his employees quite a few opportunities to enter the Wizard's Realm, and now it seemed that he couldn't fulfill those promises in a short time.

The second-circle wizard turned and left, afraid that his employees would follow Hussein's lead and ask him about the opportunity to enter the wizarding realm.
