Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 626 You can have two great spells!

Inside the dormitory, Locke opened the Druid's Ring and entered. At this moment, the Thousand Acre Forest was lush and verdant, its branches and leaves flourishing. With the influx of the stellar power of the Night Meteor, the entire forest underwent natural changes and evolution.

It adds a touch of ancient nobility.

This is even better than Locke's use of magic for artificial intervention. At this moment, the Tree of Life has reached the first stage of crystallization under the irrigation of the Night Meteor.

Sensing Locke's arrival, the lush ancient tree of life immediately lowered its branches, and the branches of its crown touched Locke's fingers. The magical power of the 304 first-ring magical plants in the forest sanctuary (plus a Sky White Birch that stored two kinds of No. 2 Overlord Cell combination) gathered together and touched Locke's fingers.

"The Ancient Tree of Life has grown to the first stage of crystallization. With it as the core, I can expand the forest again. I estimate that the forest area can be increased by at least three times, and the original number of first-stage magical plants can be transformed into a thousand."

"The strength of the Forest Sanctuary has been maximized."

Locke pondered, "But the Druid's Ring is no longer sufficient."

The Ring of the Druid covers an area of ​​only 1,500 acres.

The area is not the most important issue; the Druid's Ring, blessed by the four elemental rings, is already insufficient to support a magical plant forest covering thousands of acres.

I need better Druid equipment.

Fortunately, I made a lot of money at the sports festival.

“Expanding it again could make the ancient forest even more ancient,” Locke thought, combining his current knowledge of ecology. “It would be best to move some ancient trees directly into my forest sanctuary, rather than those greenhouse magical plants that have just been carefully cultivated by breeders in the plantation.”

In fact, after being cleansed by the power of the stars, Night Meteor's Forest Sanctuary has acquired the feel of a wild forest.

To achieve this, substantial financial support is required.

But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is to find a future path for the magic of the Forest Sanctuary.

The Forest Alliance Spell could be the way out.

I just haven't figured out how to accomplish it yet.

Locke left the Druid's Ring, and a pile of documents appeared in the study. After the competition, Locke had consulted a lot of documents from the free area, so the room was full of documents.

But there was no clue.

The Forest Alliance Spell is something that even the former headmaster of Lilith's Lodge, Dean Levi, couldn't figure out.

If one could research the Forest Alliance Spell, it would not only further increase the total biomass of one's Forest Sanctuary, but also further enhance one's control over the Forest Sanctuary, allowing it to undergo a transformation.

According to Dean Levi's plan, this step is one that can only be taken when one has crossed the second-circle wizard stage.

Locke flipped through the books on the table. "It's not that I have no clue, it's just that I've used up all my contribution points. I need to submit some articles to Zone 1 and Zone 2 to exchange for more contribution points."

"Moreover..." Locke was flipping through an article by a Sun Ring Wizard from the Rose Council. The article was research from thirty years ago, but it provided some specific examples of how alliances were established between the major forests.

After reading it, Locke felt that the information was very helpful to him, but he still had some questions, and some things were not explained in detail in the article. Therefore, he took out the letter he had written to the Sun Ring Wizard of the Rose Council yesterday and tried to consult him.

I just don't know if that flower language master, the Sun Ring Wizard, will reply to me.

Locke looked at the eight million magic stones that had been transferred to him and smiled slightly. His wizard shoes had topped the sales charts at the sports festival, which was why he had earned eight million magic stones in just seven days.

This ability to amass wealth has made him the envy of many wizards in the group.

With such a large sum of money, Locke was confident that he could fulfill his previous assumptions. "Before completing the Forest Alliance Spell, I can use existing ecological knowledge to push the ancient forest to the extremely old age. With living ancient trees around, I can keep the forest under control."

This idea would be impossible without the ancient tree of life.

An overly powerful forest sanctuary might even suppress itself, no longer becoming the forest surrounding it, but rather turning itself into a part of the forest.

That would be equivalent to a magical backlash.

You may find yourself trapped in the forest, unable to leave – a bizarre situation.

"But the prerequisite is that you need to buy equipment that is better than the Druid's Ring."

"I can ask the teacher about that. Besides that, I can use the Queen's Chessboard to create a batch of No. 2 Overlord Element Magic Plant Forest within my Forest Sanctuary."

The second tyrannical element is entirely the product of my own research.

Using this domineering demonic plant can not only strengthen one's own forest, but also enhance one's control over the forest.

Of course, the Tyrant-type Demon Plants are not normal Demon Plants at all. Therefore, the ratio of Tyrant-type Demon Plants to normal Demon Plants in the forest must be maintained within a certain reasonable range.

As for the Abyss Devouring Demon Plant...

Then forget it.

That kind of thing is not suitable to be placed in one's own forest sanctuary; the potential dangers are too great, and it would be a case of more harm than good.

Locke took out four full moons that had been fixed in place with magical porcelain. "We need to analyze the moonlight stored within these four spells as soon as possible."

"To perfect my peach-bow thorn arrow and the growth of the full moon."

"Furthermore, during the Night Meteor, my Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline gained the potential to advance to the second ring. The true form of my Dragon bloodline is also becoming clearer."

Golden immortal dragon scales appeared on Locke's left hand. Soon, the immortal dragon scales dimmed and turned into a dangerous black-gold antique color.

A terrifying power of dragon bloodline appeared within it.

Locke's pupils turned into golden vertical pupils, and he twisted his neck, a hint of dragon-like savagery appearing on his face.

He looked at the mirror in the study and kept twisting his neck.

"Both of my bloodline powers seem to have the potential to advance to the second ring. My power system is so complex, and ultimate magic reflects a wizard's traits and his power system..."

Locke pondered, "If the foundation of great magic is not laid well from the beginning, and does not fully reflect a wizard's characteristics and his power system, it will not only affect his current power."

"It will also affect his future potential. Now I have the power of archaeology, bloodline science, breeding science, botany, and potion science. How exactly do I balance these powers?"

Locke spent an afternoon writing an article about the Tyrant's Eye potion, and then had his student Gregor submit it to Green Grass Clouds.

At the same time, he decided to wait until he went to Group 2 to report and learn about their research before deciding what article to write in order to earn more contribution points.

After all, if the witch Catherine wanted him to cooperate with Group 2, then he couldn't continue to analyze the mechanism of action of the pineapple magic plant.

……

In her office at the Institute of True Knowledge, Catherine the Witch pushed a cup of eagle-toothed black tea toward Locke and smiled, saying, "Locke, you've given the wizards of the Academic Committee a great surprise this time."

"I have not let you down."

The witch Catherine handed Locke a badge with four hands clasped together. "This is your entry token for the Plane Conquest Tournament. Remember to keep it safe; if you lose it, it's equivalent to us forfeiting from this Golden Crown Mountain tournament."

"The Dimensional Conquest Tournament is crucial to the ranking of the True Knowledge Academy, one of the four top universities. Therefore, it cannot be taken lightly."

Locke was somewhat taken aback. "Teacher, did you think I could win the championship from the beginning? Even though you know that the magic combat tournament involves three parties and there are powerful figures like the wizard Antoine..."

Catherine the Witch smiled. "Hmm."

“I simply chose to believe in your abilities. I knew you could do it when you could complete two projects quickly and intuitively. Because… you are so much like my younger self.”

"When I was young, I was sure I could win the Spellfighting Tournament. When I was young, I certainly didn't encounter the reincarnation of a third-circle wizard at the first-circle stage, but even if I did, he would definitely lose."

The witch Catherine looked at Locke, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "To believe you is to believe me."

"Therefore, your performance this time is still within my expectations. Of course... there is one thing that slightly exceeded my expectations, and that is the full moon growth."

The witch Catherine said, "Locke, show me the full moon growth again."

Locke bowed to Catherine the Witch and said, "Teacher, yes."

He reached out and traced a magical moon in mid-air.

The witch Catherine shook her head and said, "It's not something so rudimentary."

"I mean, your porcelain moon."

Locke then realized what was happening and took the Porcelain Moon out of the Astral Ring.

This spell has been mastered to a state that is half magic and half artifact.

The witch Catherine looked at the magic, frowned slightly, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"As expected... there's a reason why you were able to beat Antoine. The biggest reason is that he didn't have any competition before and neglected to study."

"The second major reason is that your Porcelain Moon growth possesses characteristics of a great rudimentary form of magic. Of course, it is still too weak now and cannot be considered a true rudimentary form."

The witch Catherine said, "Then choosing which magic to use as the blueprint for your ultimate magic is up to you. After all, only you can integrate all your own power. Guidance from others will always be separated by a layer." "It might even lead you astray."

Catherine the Witch thought for a moment, then raised her right hand. Suddenly, the bookshelf in her office opened, revealing rows of magic books bound with chains.

At that moment, she waved her hand, and the chains on one of the magic books, which was bound by magical chains, automatically untied and turned automatically, with a page falling into the hands of the witch Catherine.

At the same time, the magic book tried to rush out of the bookshelf in the next instant, but was locked back by the magic chains, and the bookshelf closed automatically.

The witch Catherine handed Locke a leaf, saying, "This is a blessing spell from the moon goddess."

"Based on my observation of your magic and its future evolution, following your line of thinking, I believe you should learn this magic, as it will greatly benefit you."

The witch Catherine said, "Furthermore, I've been investigating the dragon bloodline in you recently. I have some peculiar suspicions."

"Did you know that a wizard, under certain circumstances, doesn't only have one powerful spell?"

Locke looked at the witch Catherine with a shocked expression. "Teacher?"

The witch Catherine nodded, turned around, and raised her left hand, signaling him to be quiet. "According to my investigation, the bloodline in your veins belongs to the World-Destroying Dragon. And the World-Destroying Dragon bloodline has a special talent: a dual soul."

"If a wizard has two souls, he can possess two great magics. This is a paradox, how can one person possess two souls? But the World-Destroying Dragon race possesses this special talent."

The witch Catherine looked at him intently and said, "The World-Destroying Dragon possesses a unique [half-body] mechanism."

"That is, in addition to your original body in this time and place, there is an alternate space-time in the endless void, where there is a half-body that looks different from you, is the same age, and has the same soul. When either the original body or the half-body dies, the two souls will enter the original body."

The witch Catherine glanced at Locke and said, "Therefore, through studying the bloodline of the World-Destroying Dragon, I have made the following judgment: You are very likely to possess two extremely powerful spells."

"Because of the special nature of the Demon Dragon bloodline, you possess two souls."

"If you could possess two great spells, you could solve many problems. For example, your power system would be too complex, and you wouldn't have to deliberately abandon some of the magical domains you've learned before in order to advance to the second-circle wizard. Many wizards do indeed have to make this painful choice during the advancement process."

With a wave of her hand, the witch Catherine conjured an image of peach blossom petals in mid-air, depicting a wizard being painfully sliced ​​in two. "To advance, one must maintain the simplicity and purity of ultimate magic; otherwise, overly complex ultimate magic will become a hindrance to advancement. Therefore, those wizards must relinquish some of their own traits in order to consider their future."

“Primal Great Magic is like an anvil, which needs to be forged by a wizard with a hammer. Therefore, it is not convenient to make an anvil too complicated.”

“But you are different,” said the witch Ekaterina. “If you can divide your power system in two, then you can make both of your great spells simple and elegant.”

When Locke heard the witch Catherine explain the bloodline of the world-destroying dragon, he swallowed hard. As a transmigrator, transmigration was originally his biggest secret.

But he suddenly discovered that the Wizarding World itself was a multiverse plane at the level of the Great Void.

For high-ring wizards, time travel is as natural as eating and drinking.

So, is the plane I originally resided in located in the Great Void?
Am I perhaps the other half of Locke Augustine, born on Earth because of his dragon bloodline?

wrong.

Locke suddenly realized he had almost been tricked by the witch Catherine. He said to her, "Teacher, according to you, my dragon bloodline was formed with the help of the Night Meteor and the Emerald Cat's Eye."

"If I were to have a half-body..."

"Then it should have formed recently."

The witch Catherine nodded. "Your dragon bloodline grants you the opportunity to generate a half-body once. According to my investigation, you can choose to use this opportunity when your dragon bloodline reaches the first stage of crystallization."

The witch Catherine touched Locke's forehead, and a peach petal rune appeared there before quickly disappearing.

The witch Catherine said, "I have cast a heart spell on you."

"This spell allows you to forcibly generate your half-body in a plane outside of the wizarding world. The specific plane you choose is entirely up to you. You can choose a specific plane, generate your half-body, and plunder the knowledge of that plane. Otherwise, in the vast and endless void, waiting for your half-body to merge with you would take far too long. It's basically a matter of luck."

"It will take at least ten years, maybe even several decades."

Locke asked the witch Catherine, "Teacher, if half of my soul enters my body, will it fight with me for control of the body?"

The witch Catherine shook her head and said, "The realm of the soul is not as simple as you think. The twin talents of the dragon race are far more complex than you imagine."

"You can think of it as your other half being another version of yourself. It's a special incarnation of you. When it returns, you will still be you, only you will have two souls."

The witch Catherine pondered for a moment and said, "Essentially, that soul reincarnated into another world is just a magic spell of yours."

"You can think of it this way: one day, the 'you' in your mirror suddenly steps out and goes on an adventure to a faraway place. The moment he returns, you are still you."

“Essentially, this is a magic used by the dragon race to harvest other worlds; it’s a special incarnation. Like the natural incarnations you used before, it’s an abnormal incarnation.” The witch Catherine raised the book in her hand.

Locke was taken aback when he saw the book title—[One Hundred Ways to Feed a Dragon].

Locke said to the witch Catherine, "Thank you, teacher. You helped me look up the information and told me this. You also helped me set up the Heart Spell to lock onto my half-body position. If I can create two powerful spells, then teacher, I will have a great advantage in classifying and organizing my power."

The witch Catherine nodded: "Actually, it's alright. I think one Greater Spell is enough."

“If you have two Great Magic spells, you’ll need to forge them eight times, four more times than others. But you don’t need to worry too much about that; I’ll take care of it for you.”

The witch Catherine said, "I will be researching information specifically for you soon. First, to thoroughly understand the characteristics of your bloodline; second, to create a method for you to forge two extremely powerful spells simultaneously."

"Otherwise, you would have to forge four more times than others out of thin air, which is completely unacceptable."

Locke asked, "Teacher, wasn't this half-body talent an advantage for the World-Destroying Dragon Clan in the past?"

The witch Catherine curled her lips into a smile. "First of all, there was no great magic in the past. The racial advantages of the past were only advantages in the past, but in this era, they may become disadvantages. As it stands, if I don't help you come up with a way to forge simultaneously, at least at the second level, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages."

"After all, advancing to the third-circle wizard as soon as possible is the real priority. If it's about having four more forgings than others out of thin air, which is equivalent to having four more major levels... then it's better to just create one major spell from the start."

The witch Catherine said, "Even if you create more new levels within the second ring, it will be useless."

Locke learned from the witch Catherine that it seemed the second circle of magic could be advanced indefinitely without needing to reach the third circle.

For example, the normal Second Ring Road has four major levels.

If a second-ring wizard doesn't find the right method and doesn't advance to a third-ring wizard, it seems possible to avoid breaking through the limits of the racial soul and continue creating more and more high-level wizards in the second-ring stage.

Therefore, the characteristics of the racial soul limit of a second-ring wizard should be completely different from those of an apprentice and a first-ring wizard.

Locke realized that the witch Catherine, because of her high level of magic, had casually mentioned some secrets about the second to third rings.

However, just by thinking about this part of the hidden knowledge, I noticed that my thinking was abnormal and my brain was working slower and slower.

It seems that my current level is not high enough to think about this part of the knowledge.

The witch Catherine said, "Locke, you should report to Group 2 soon. This magic painting is a map of Group 2's location, and I have already informed Sith."

Locke said, "Yes, teacher."

"Thank you, teacher. I feel like I've caused you a lot of trouble..."

The witch Catherine laughed and said, "Not at all. I'm only bothering you because you've done me a great service this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with you."

The golden dragon's mocking laughter only reached the ears of the witch Catherine. 'Do you even believe it yourself?'

Catherine the Witch's face became completely expressionless. She looked at Locke and said, "Alright, do you have any other questions?"

Locke then asked the witch Catherine if there was a better ring than the Druid's Ring.

The witch Catherine looked at the druid ring on Locke's left hand. "It's interesting. Your first-ring permanent defensive field is indeed unconventional. At first, I thought it was just an extreme approach, so I didn't say much. But gradually I discovered its advantages."

"I remember you learned about your Permanent Defense Field at Lilith's Hut, right?"

Locke said, "Yes, teacher."

The witch Catherine glanced at him. "Hmm. Lilith's Hut, Mister's Power, well, you're in luck. The Permanent Defensive Field I learned in the first stage is rather ordinary, just a defensive spell called Falling Apricot Rain."

"Later, I took advantage of the two opportunities to advance to the second and third rings to transform it into the current [Three Thousand Peach Blossoms], which is how I completely transformed it from an ordinary permanent defensive field into a relatively powerful permanent defensive magic among its peers. However, you don't need to go through as much trouble as I did; it seems that your original permanent defensive field was already quite good."

“You can buy the Archdruid Ring,” said the witch Ekaterina. “However, the Archdruid Ring is just a larger demiplane ring. There are limits to carrying a demiplane with you; its size, area, and degree of perfection are all limited.”

My advice to you is to buy a pair of Zephyr contact lenses.

“I’ll write you a letter of recommendation. I have a close friend who’s a third-circle wizard and an alchemist who specializes in this field. This stuff isn’t available on the market yet, but I think it’s more suitable for you.”

Catherine the Witch quickly wrote a letter on the table. "Here you go."

Locke said to the witch Catherine, "Teacher, thank you."

He then expressed his gratitude a few more times and turned to leave.
