Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 490 The Sect's Reaction

In the land of six towers, Eric's office.

After learning that Locke had won the Yunze Cup, all of Eric's previous thoughts vanished, and he muttered to himself, "Alicia, I've made a good investment."

"With the successful investment in such a project, every member of the Plutarch family would be convinced, including myself."

"Perhaps, that little girl is really suited to be the head of the family."

Eric's mind was racing. "She has a sharp eye. I wish she could help me win a championship too. Not necessarily a high-profile tournament like the Yunze Cup, but something like the Guangying Cup or the Golden Cup. Winning one of those would be quite an achievement."

Eric looked up at his son and his wife, the witch of the Basil family. Suddenly, his son, whom he had previously found agreeable, became unsatisfactory to him. He felt that his son was far inferior to Alicia and the wizard named Locke Augustine, whom she had invested in.

“George, you’d better learn from Alicia and stop hanging out with your bunch of scoundrels all the time.”

“You should get down to business. Alicia is already a first-circle vaporization stage wizard, and her magic power is increasing so fast every day. I think she can become a liquefaction stage wizard next year or the year after. But you are still a wizarding apprentice. Your wife is already a first-circle wizard.”

The witch of the Basil family glanced at the timid George, offering no defense for him, but instead said to Eric, "Lord Eric, my original plan, to seize power with the help of my family..."

Eric shook his head. "Now that Alicia has just completed such a large project, her prestige has greatly increased. Even if your family were to fully support me and attack her, it would be like an ant trying to shake a tree, let alone fully funding us."

“So, let’s cancel the operation.” Eric waved his hand. “You don’t need to be so nervous; the Yunze Cup champion is one of our own.”

"In a sense, this is good for all of us."

“Our previous struggles were just minor squabbles among family members, not life-or-death battles. Since my eldest sister’s branch is so powerful, from now on we will accept our position and wait to receive the benefits.”

At the same time, the major families of the Six Towers also learned of this outcome. Originally, because of the death of the Great Wizard Sura, with only his soul remaining in the world, the major families, who had already harbored rebellious intentions, immediately abandoned their original plans.

Even the Basil family, which had been eager to make a move, immediately cancelled all actions against the Plutarch family after receiving this news.

A crisis was thus resolved without a trace, as if it had never existed.

Meanwhile, the Southeast Corner region also received the results of the Yunze Cup, as Harun Vera had been following the match closely.

At that moment, Harun Vera was hosting a student party. During the party, he received his ranking in the Cloud Ze Cup from other wizards. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up amidst the astonished gazes of the students.

The first-ring wizard students all looked at Harun Vera in surprise.

"Teacher, what happened? What's making you so agitated?"

Harlan Vera coughed. "I did lose my composure."

"However, it is precisely because this news is so surprising and joyful that your fellow disciple, Locke Augustine, has become the champion of the 10th Yunze Cup!"

Upon hearing this, many of the projections of first-ring wizards at the gathering showed expressions of astonishment.

Many of the wizards present were potion makers or breeders, so they naturally knew that the Yunze Cup was a large-scale tactical-level magical plant competition. However, because they were not in Yunze before, they did not watch the Yunze Cup commercial competition.

However, they also know the prestige of the Yunze Cup and the difficulty of participating.

The preliminary rounds alone require narrowing down the field from twenty to ten, with half of the twenty best first-level breeders from the Wizarding Lands being eliminated in the preliminary rounds.

In the finals, every wizard should be a strong contender.

At this moment, the senior students from the same school looked at each other in disbelief. Winning such a competition meant that Locke had produced an indisputable tactical-level magical plant creation.

A first-ring wizard senior said, "Junior Brother Locke is really something. He has only been a first-ring wizard for less than two years, and he has already won the Yunze Cup."

"That's the Yunze Cup."

Another first-ring witch's eyes flashed with envy and admiration. "I also participated in the Cloudze Cup, but I didn't even make it past the second round of the Wizarding Lands competition."

Harlan Vera laughed and said, "Great, great, that's wonderful."

"I will convey your congratulations to Locke on your behalf. Also, we can invite Locke to our future gatherings."

Upon hearing this, many first-ring wizards' eyes lit up. Many first-ring wizards attend fellow disciples' gatherings precisely to exchange information, learn about current events among various wizards, and get to know promising fellow disciples.

At this time, after learning that Locke had won the Yunze Cup, many first-ring wizards wanted to befriend him.

At this moment, the projection of Wizard Anthony appeared in the gathering hall. Wizard Anthony held up a glass of wizard's liquor and said to Harlan Vera, "Teacher Harlan, do you know? Our junior brother Locke actually won the Cloud Ze Cup this time, as a member of the research group of the Six Towers Land."

"Because he won the Yunze Cup, my position in that family became much more secure."

Harlan Vera had calmed down by now, and he nodded slightly. "For a super genius like Locke to achieve such success is actually quite normal. It's also within my expectations."

"His future should be bright, and he'll go much further."

The wizard Anthony laughed and said, "Indeed."

"Dear senior brothers and sisters, if you also want to come to the Six Towers, you can contact me, just like Junior Brother Locke did."

"This land of six towers has abundant resources, but lacks talent. It would rather give resources to wizards outside than to ordinary wizards inside."

For a moment, many wizards' eyes lit up with interest.

……

Upon landing in the Land of the Six Towers, Locke quickly returned to the White Dragon Tower to check on the situation of the Plutarch family. He also received a congratulatory message from his teacher, Harun Vera, which Locke promptly replied to.

Inside Alicia's office in the Tower of the White Dragon, Locke looked at the Grand Wizard Sura with a strange expression.

"Great Wizard Sura, you're not dead yet?"

Upon hearing this, the smiling Grand Wizard Sura's face twitched, and then his smile vanished. He coughed and said, "What do you mean I'm not dead yet? However, I am indeed dead. It's just that my soul is temporarily protected by a magical painting created by a second-circle wizard, the Quick Painter, and is in a special state that is neither alive nor dead."

"This state certainly cannot be called being alive."

Grand Wizard Sura offered a brief explanation. "Congratulations, Locke."

A smile returned to Grand Wizard Sura's face. "Our Plutarch family held a meeting overnight to discuss this, and to show our appreciation, we have prepared a special reward."

Upon hearing this, Alicia immediately walked over and said to Locke, "I brought it up at the family meeting."

"Our Plutarch family, as your patron, is very grateful that you participated in the competition for our Six Towers Land and won the Cloud Ze Cup in the name of the Six Towers Land. As a token of our gratitude, I hereby bestow upon you the Scorpion Woman Ring and the Primordial Flame permanently."

Upon hearing this, the soul of the great wizard Sura immediately waved his hand. First, the primordial fire placed near Alicia automatically flew up, and all the hidden traps and restrictions within it automatically disappeared. Then, it fell towards Locke in a completely clean state.

At the same time, the soul imprint deep within the Scorpion Woman ring that Locke wore on the middle finger of his right hand also disappeared.

The Scorpion Woman Ring emitted a faint magical glow. With the restriction removed, the true nature and abilities of the Scorpion Woman Ring, a high-level magical artifact of the Plutarch family, were revealed.

The Scorpion Woman Ring is a special family artifact passed down through bloodlines. Its greatest function is to allow bloodline wizards to create an additional pool of spells formed from true blood.

This function is even more significant for wizards who do not practice bloodline studies.

Locke sensed it and discovered that inside the Scorpion Woman's Ring was a skill tree composed of six universal bloodline spells. As the Grand Wizard Sura removed the hidden restrictions, this magic ring finally unlocked all its functions for him.

Locke examined it and found that the Scorpion Woman's Ring contained universal bloodline magic, three low-level and three high-level spells, a very complete set.

The three low-level general bloodline spells are [Bloodline Frenzy], [Beast Body], and [Blood Flame], while the three high-level general bloodline spells are [Blood Flame Arrow], [Blood Coagulation Regeneration], and [Boiling Blood].

Using the Scorpion Woman Ring, one can use each type of advanced bloodline universal spell once a day and each type of ordinary bloodline universal spell three times a day.

It has very powerful functions.

Alicia brought Locke a stool, and the two sat down to talk. Through their conversation, Locke learned about the uses of these six bloodline-based universal spells.

Bloodline Berserk is just a regular Berserk spell.

The beast's body, on the other hand, activates the latent bloodline power within the body, strengthening physical strength. If the bloodline power itself has the effect of strengthening the physique, then the body can be strengthened again on this basis.

Bloodflame was a common bloodline spell that Locke had encountered before, while Bloodflame Arrow was an advanced version of Bloodflame, which he had seen the great wizard Sura use.

Boiling Blood, on the other hand, boils up all the blood in the body, strengthening the body once again in a very short time.

Blood clotting and regeneration, on the other hand, involves burning the energy of the blood vessels in the body to achieve rapid wound healing. This magic can even be used to regenerate severed limbs.

It can be said that the entire bloodline wizarding system is essentially composed of melee masters. Everyone has a large number of bloodline-based universal spells to enhance their physique, increase their ability to recover from injuries, and spells such as Blood Flame that burn the bloodline power of the opponent.

Locke said, "But in this way, two of the three drops of true blood in my body overlap with the bloodline spell in the Scorpion Woman's Ring."

Alicia said, "That's easy. I'll replace the blood with the two types of true blood you want."
