Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 611 Reunion with Hussein and Obtaining the Constellation Witch
Camilla the Witch looked at Locke, a complex expression in her eyes. "Alright, I agree to the deal."

"There's no denying that I desperately need to improve my magic. Especially that bastard Antoine! You're not the only one who's defeated me."

Locke took out ten bottles of the No. 2 Overlord Essence he had previously stored. "This is all the stock I have right now, plus this Overlord Pineapple. As for the information, I won't provide it, since I only need you to trade me a piece of my natal witch porcelain. We're just bartering. That's all."

These have all been enchanted, making them unsuitable for propagation by seed or cuttings.

The production of pineapple extract itself has a limited limit. This particular pineapple can only produce a certain amount of No. 2 pineapple extract before it withers.

Producing Tyrant Element No. 2 is a huge burden for this plant; Locke simply cultivated these magical plants in this direction.

Camilla's eyes gleamed, and she was about to reach for them when she discovered that Locke had put them back into his astral ring.

Camilla immediately looked at Locke with displeasure, as if she had lost something, but her rationality made her say to Locke, "Okay, I agree to the deal."

"These 'dominant elements' are enough for me to cultivate into dominant species."

The witch Camilla also has the pride of being the most outstanding young first-ring wizard of this generation in Nexus; she is the most outstanding first-ring wizarding genius in Nexus.

With these No. 2 Overlord Elements, along with what I learned from fighting and observing Locke, and reading Locke's previous articles, I can at least develop a barely usable Overlord-transformed magic plant.

This is enough to temporarily boost her strength in the upcoming matches.

Her goal was not to develop mature products based on the Overlord Demon Plant, nor to conduct research; she simply wanted to temporarily increase her own power.

Combining the genius of Golden Crown Mountain with the wisdom of the genius of Demon Pivot City.

Thinking of this, the witch Camilla's eyes flickered. Although such a deal, if made public, would definitely be stopped by the higher-ups of the Nexus.

Locke's No. 2 Overlord Essence was her own research result, but her natal Witch Porcelain was a small branch of the research results of the Sun Ring Wizards of the Magic Pivot City.

The problem is, the competition rankings are your own, but your true master, Wu Ci, belongs to the academy.

Camilla the witch licked her lips.

“Sure. But let me make this clear: I can’t get my hands on any legitimate, natal magic porcelain. Don’t even mention me, you can’t get any magician either. Unless you can convince the academy headmaster of the Demon Pivot.”

Locke recalled the way the wizards of the Nexus looked at the wizards of Mount Golden Crown, and spread his hands.

This is obviously suicidal.

The witch Camilla said, "So the types of porcelain you can choose from are limited. If I have a way to get some for you, I will. But if I don't, don't blame me."

"I really did my best," said the witch Camilla.

The witch Camilla thought for a moment and said, "Besides, I also signed a contract with the academy. I cannot hand over my natal magic porcelain to a wizard outside the academy. That contract costs 30,000 magic stones per piece."

The witch Camilla said, "We are under the watchful eye of the Eye of Truth."

"I don't have access to the Confusion Charm. You'll have to find someone to help you with that. If you don't have it, we can't trade."

Locke nodded. He had anticipated this situation and had previously consulted Hussein, requesting that Hussein enlist the help of a friend at the Mithril Law Firm branch to cast the Confusion Charm.

The Confusion Spell is a mysterious incantation known only to contract masters. It can confuse contracts at the first level that are monitored by the Eye of Truth. But price is not the issue; the key is that this thing... is in the gray area.

Therefore, wizards have a hard time finding people to perform their spells.

Locke wouldn't have known about the existence of such a spell if it weren't for Hussein.

For people who are not close to you, the answer is usually no, and the contract is the contract, which must not be altered.

Even among contract masters, only a few know that Mithril Law Firm happens to have access to such things. Hussein, because of his rising status in Mithril Law Firm over the past three years, has become an outstanding contract master, winning numerous awards and helping the firm win several major cases, which is how he was able to learn this spell.

Furthermore, he also has friends who know this kind of spell.

It's very expensive.

The starting price for a single transaction is 300,000, and that's just the base price. Depending on the level and content of the contract you're breaking, the price will increase further.

After all, doing this kind of thing is also very dangerous.

If reported, they will lose their contract lawyer work certificate and will never be able to work in a law firm again.

Moreover, they will be subject to hefty fines and imprisonment in the wizard prison established by the White Wizards Association, where they will have to atone for their sins through labor.

It's safe to say that most people would believe that the benefits of violating a contract wouldn't far exceed 300,000 magic stones, so no one would break a contract.

Everything in the White Wizarding Society can be measured in money, including this contract...

In other words, as long as you are willing to pay 300,000 magic stones and are willing to bear the credit issues that would result from breaking the agreement, you can break the agreement.

Of course, the consequences of breaking the agreement are still severe. The White Wizard Society is a credit-based society, and if you have a record of being punished by the White Wizard Association and wizard organizations, you may not be able to get a loan.

All services that require a deposit must be paid in order to receive them.

It would have been impossible for Locke to take out loans twice to meet the sudden research needs he had previously had.

The reason why the witch Camilla dared to make this deal with him was that the confidentiality agreement she signed was probably not very sophisticated and was just something she signed on a whim.

Selling personal shamanic porcelain is not a big deal in itself.

Their college also has a few records of selling items to the public.

This was originally intended to be a future product that would be gradually sold to the public.

This is not something that will be seriously investigated.

As long as neither side is foolish enough to publicize it, even if Locke possesses the natal witch porcelain, no one will suspect her.

The witch Camilla said, "The 'Life-Bound Porcelain' is actually a type of porcelain made from the twelve zodiac signs. It utilizes each person's zodiac sign."

Locke asked, "The magic of the School of Prophecy?"

The witch Camilla nodded. "Not bad, as expected of a researcher from Mount Golden Crown. Young in age, but with remarkable insight."

"According to the prophetic school of thought, everyone is associated with a specific zodiac sign among the twelve constellations of the year at the time of their birth. This zodiac sign is your ruling sign."

"For example, my ruling sign is Gemini. Therefore, my natal porcelain can use my connection with Gemini to bind with my spirituality. This is the principle of natal porcelain."

“Tell me what you want to use it for, make it clear beforehand. I’ve already examined your spirituality. If it’s for you to use, I’m sorry, I don’t have any suitable personal shamanic porcelain for you.”

Camilla the Witch Way.

Locke nodded slightly. "It's not for me to use, it's for my Full Moon Growth."

Camilla the witch paused, stunned. "Give me a spell to use? That's impossible... Wait a minute."

After careful calculation, the witch Camilla discovered a problem. "As long as something has a guardian constellation, it can indeed use the natal witch's porcelain."

“If it were other magic, it would be unlikely. But if it’s your Full Moon Growth, it’s possible.” The witch Camilla, being a native witch of the Cloud Marsh Wetlands, said to Locke, “If I’m not mistaken, your Full Moon Growth is a kind of astrological magic. This kind of astrological magic is inherently related to the moon, and according to astrology, the moon’s ruling constellation is… Cancer.”

“And I happen to have a Cancer natal porcelain that you can use.” The witch Camilla glanced at Locke and then said, “But let’s make it clear first, none of us in the City of the Demons have ever considered whether it is possible to give it to a non-human being.”

"Although I also believe that, theoretically speaking, it might be possible to succeed."

"But whether it succeeds or not is none of my business."

Locke said, "Of course."

He only provided her with the No. 2 Overlord Essence; whether it succeeded or not was none of his business.

They are all wizards at the first stage of crystallization. If you want to obtain them, just take action and get them yourself.

At that moment, Locke glanced at the gray fog stone tablet, and Hussein reminded him that the contract master he had invited had arrived.

The door to the quiet room was pushed open, and Locke saw Hussein, dressed in a black robe with gold trim, walk in. He still had that ambiguous smile on his lips, and his style remained both righteous and wicked.

Hussein said, "Long time no see."

At this time, Hussein's magic pressure was around 9000, which clearly indicated that he had just entered the first stage of crystallization.

Locke wasn't surprised by this, after all, they were all people who came from the southeastern corner of the region, and their living conditions were much worse than Hussein's.

He spent three years in Yunze Wetland, had some extraordinary encounters, and with his talent and hard work, it's not hard to imagine that he has achieved what he has today.

Locke was surprised that Hussein would actually come in person.

"Quinjol is a long way from here, why did you come all the way here in person?"

"Hussein, I don't have that much money to pay you..."

Locke said warily.

Hussein glanced at Locke speechlessly. "We've finally reunited, and you're already being so opportunistic."

"I never noticed before."

“Locke, don’t worry, I’m just here with my mentor at Mithril Law Firm to help a client in the second ring draft a contract. It just so happens that you’re in the area seeking my help, so I thought I might as well come and meet you.”

Hussein looked at the witch Camilla. "This witch must be the genius of Nexus."

The witch Camilla nodded politely, after all, Hussein was just an ordinary first-stage crystallization wizard with a magic pressure of 9000.

If his magic level were any lower, or if he weren't Locke's friend, she wouldn't even bother to acknowledge him.

They are not from the same social circle.

For someone like Camilla, who is accustomed to living in the elite circle of the Nexus, everyone else is subject to a hierarchy.

Even if a wizard is useful, if there is a huge gap in talent, he is just a tool or a friend.

However, Mithril Law Firm... that's a top-tier law firm in Yunze Wetlands.

This identity also made Camilla the witch somewhat concerned.

Therefore, Camilla's attitude towards Hussein cannot be considered disrespectful.

The witch Camilla looked at Locke and said, "I see. You have a contract master friend and you hold a high position at Mithril Law Firm."

"If that's the case, then things are much easier. So, all the contract masters with any standing at Mithril Law Firm know how to use the Confusion Charm?"

Hussein corrected him, “Confusing Charms also have levels. The higher the level of the contract and the more detailed the contract, the higher the level of the Confusing Charm required. But I can handle your contract.”

"Because the contract level is only the first level, and... based on my work experience, the contract you signed with your college is just a standard contract and is not strictly followed."

Hussein sat down, and Locke pushed his unfinished cup of duckbill spring tea to him, which Hussein swallowed in one gulp.

"The tea is good."

"As expected of Lu Xuqiao's specialty. Based on my work experience, I only need to use a confusion spell to make the contract mistakenly believe that Locke is a specially appointed researcher of the Magic Pivot City."

"This isn't difficult. No one would have scrutinized your contract anyway. Is Locke's place... safe?"

Locke had no idea that Hussein, who had become a contract master, already had a deep understanding of the gray areas within the white wizarding society.

Well, that really is his style.

Locke said, "The Feathered Serpent Pavilion is very safe for me; there are no surveillance cameras here."

“I have some special privileges here.”

Hussein glanced at Locke in surprise. The Feathered Serpent Pavilion was very mysterious, and Locke could actually have some kind of connection with such a mysterious shop.

It’s really amazing.

Hussein said, "In that case, let's begin. Since it's relatively simple, I won't charge you."

Locke frowned. "No..."

Hussein said, "Consider it paying you back. I borrowed money and contribution points from you before."

Locke thought for a moment and realized that Hussein, being such a proud man, was simply repaying a favor, so he did not insist further.

If I persist, Hussein will probably back down, but that would offend him.

Such a proud person naturally prefers reciprocal relationships.

Mithril Law Firm is also a medium-to-large-scale wizarding organization in Quinnjoll's territory.

The witch Camilla took out a beautiful white porcelain piece from her astral ring. The surface of the porcelain piece had a giant crab pattern on it.

Locke then placed his No. 2 Overlord Essence and an Overlord Pineapple on the table.

Hussein placed a balance scale between the tables, gently chanted an incantation, and instantly a magical circle, characteristic of ritual magic, appeared on the table.

At the same time, an extremely filthy and evil yet coldly orderly world power descended.

Locke finally understood what the Confusion Charm was; it was ritual magic.

Contract masters seem to have a special lineage that allows them to make contracts with a special plane, thereby gaining the ability to confuse the terms of the contract.

A hot wind from hell blew in.

Locke raised an eyebrow. "Nine levels of hell?"
