Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 650 Complaints and the Premature Death of the Mortal Era
Locke uses the moon as a magic mirror to observe the world, and at the same time transforms the magical kingdom's realm into his own lunar realm.

It lasted for about an hour.

The young wizard's voice came to Locke's ears. "Locke, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Consider it a favor I owe you. You withstood the curse of obliteration and prevented my Historical Milestone Spell from being interrupted. I gave you an extra hour, but you've already reached your limit."

At this moment, the scene changes again.

Locke sensed that the Kingdom Domain had separated from his magic and his spirituality, and in that instant, his pseudo-second-ring state was knocked off.

He fell from his original spiritual height, and his demonic pressure dropped from 10000 to 9999.

The porcelain moon also disintegrated automatically, and the remnant branches of the golden palace and the porcelain moon separated into two parts, which fell automatically in front of him.

Without the Moon Mirror, his Forest Alliance Spell collapsed instantly.

The lower-level forests within his own Forest Sanctuary are constantly withdrawing from his alliance.

That illusion that heaven and earth were united in strength was also lost.

Locke sighed, knowing this was bound to happen.

Even so, after receiving the second-circle wizard experience card, he still felt a sense of emptiness.

But he knew that this had to happen, otherwise he wouldn't be able to accept it.

That crude, massive magic spell was utterly incongruous; the characteristics of the Golden Palace Remnant and the Porcelain Moon were completely incompatible.

The porcelain moon itself contains foreign objects.

That moon has limited potential because its foundation is weak.

However, Locke recalled that the great magic he had just used had a significant advantage: through the connection and reflection of the moon, it allowed him to combine his archaeological, botanical, potion-making, and bloodline powers with it.

In other words, that massive spell just now possessed the power to encompass all of his current magical systems.

Although it was rushed due to his lack of experience, it was guided by the witch Catherine, discussed with the archaeological wizard patriarch, and derived from his own observation of the moon in two timelines of the wizarding world, as well as the three lunar planes within the Night Meteor.

Its ambition and foundation are so great that they cannot be compared to ordinary, extremely powerful magic.

"This immense magic is crucial to my own future, and it also concerns how much importance I will receive after I travel to the Starfield Sea. Therefore, I need to take it even more seriously."

Locke pondered, "Originally, I wanted to use the World-Destroying Dragon's special talent to create two Great Magic spells and integrate my entire magic system into them. But I never expected that in this abyss ruin, I would encounter the patriarch of archaeology, and through this, I could elevate the level of my Great Magic spells to the point of perfectly integrating all magical heritages."

"Choices determine destiny. Fortunately, I made the right choice and made the right wish before entering this space, so that the ancestor did not design a huge magic spell for me directly."

Locke pondered, "When I get back, I need to quickly access all the information on moon-related magic from that era, as well as data on the moon's trajectory and Force levels in that modern era."

"Having the data on the moons of the two wizarding worlds in two different timelines will greatly benefit the improvement of the essence of my ultimate magic. In addition, I will also consult a lot of other data to better improve the ecological construction of my ultimate magic."

“My Moon Magic Mirror can also incorporate some energy-locking structures, which can optimize the basic level of the entire Great Magic.”

Locke pondered, "Furthermore, the witch porcelain can be synthesized using a synthesis cube, thus eliminating the influence of outsiders."

'To make it my own characteristic. Moreover, I can repeatedly create the moon, the blueprint for ultimate magic, and synthesize it, perhaps further enhancing the essence of my ultimate magic.'

"Ultimate magic is fundamental." After experiencing the second-circle wizard trial card, Locke realized even more the importance of ultimate magic.

The entire Second Ring Road is a place to forge one's own ultimate magic. If the innate potential of the ultimate magic is relatively poor, then there is nothing worth forging.

It also needs to be forged and repaired at the same time to make up for its inherent deficiencies.

This is too difficult for wizards.

However, there may be ways to make up for it.

Locke recalled that when the witch Catherine had spoken to him, she had told him that she too was a witch who had come to Yunze Wetland from a small town.

Her immense magical power was limited by the lack of understanding at the time, so it was inherently deficient from the start.

However, through her continuous efforts and by utilizing four forging opportunities, she gradually replenished her immense magic and ultimately completed the Beast Tide Ecosystem.

Locke pondered, "But then, what should I use my second ultimate spell to create?"

Locke noticed that the scene was changing again, and the time and space within the entire historical reenactment had become disordered, so the timeline was not linear, but was constantly jumping and flashing back to certain fragments.

The witch Shirley looked at Locke and said, "Junior brother, I didn't expect you to temporarily reach the level of a second-circle wizard in this abyss ruin."

“If it weren’t for you, even I wouldn’t have been able to stay in this space for long. Junior brother, now it’s just the two of us left. Those two damned black wizards are gone.”

"That's fine, the two of us are enough."

Locke nodded. "Okay, Senior Sister. But from now on, no one can leave this space, otherwise the spell will be interrupted."

……

The Storm Tower, located forty kilometers in the air, is a room within a giant ring.

Wizard Smith looked at the leader of the Thunder Demon Society with a grim expression.

"You mean I didn't get what I wanted!"

"Not only did we fail to obtain the Apocalypse Stone, but it may have even fallen into the hands of someone else?"

The wizard leader of the Thunder Demon Society was about to say that their wizarding organization had suffered heavy losses this time, almost being wiped out.

That ruin was really too strange.

At first, it was fine; it was just some mazes and traps. But later, they were pulled into a special world, in which... their wizarding organization was almost completely wiped out.

He was the only one who managed to escape using the methods of the Last School of Defense.

But when the leader of the Thunder Demon Society saw the dark look in Wizard Smith's eyes, he felt a sudden tightness in his chest and didn't say what he was about to say.

It's hard to believe that the gentle and refined young wizard would actually have such a terrifying expression on his face in this deserted office.

Wizard Smith covered a True Sight Crystal on his desk with a black cloth, and a chill immediately ran down the spine of the Thunder Demon Wizard Leader.

He immediately thought of the many legendary deeds of the Storm Tower Smith family.

Rumor has it that many of the illegal factories in the Storm Tower region were opened by the Smith family.

The Smith family, a wizarding family with three-ring wizards, even engaged in the human trafficking of wizards, selling cheap labor in dirty work.

But rumors are just rumors.

Because some wizards had sued the Smith family, and the Smith family had both won and lost those cases, it seemed as if the family was still law-abiding.

In retrospect, those rumors about the Smith family may not have been entirely false.

Wizard Smith closed the office door, the last trace of elegance vanishing from his face. "This is a task assigned by a third-ring wizard."

"If it weren't for a wizard from the School of Prophecy who foresaw in advance that second-circle wizards couldn't enter that area, do you think I would have allowed a mere Thunder Demon like you to go there?"

The Thunder Demon Society's wizard leader's lips trembled. "We've done everything we can. Our wizarding organization has even disintegrated."

"Dead in name only, Mr. Smith..."

Wizard Smith's eyes were icy. "Incompetence always comes at a price. It's an honor for your Thunder Demon Society to work for me. What's there to say now?"

The wizarding leader of the Thunder Demon Society suddenly realized something. "Wait… Lord Smith, it's Mount Golden Crown… Two of the wizards who used strange methods were wearing the insignia of Mount Golden Crown." Wizard Smith immediately stopped in his tracks. "Mount Golden Crown? Oh? The Apocalypse Stone has fallen into the hands of Mount Golden Crown?"

Wizard Smith immediately lowered his head, deep in thought. "If that's the case, then things will be difficult."

Wizard Smith's gentle smile returned as he opened his office door and lifted the red cloth covering the True Sight Crystal, then summoned a student.

He said to the first-class wizard apprentice, "Zagu, go and investigate for me which wizards from Golden Crown Mountain have recently gone to the Qionghua Enclave."

"There shouldn't be many people. There's nothing worth going to in Qionghua Enclave."

"Jinmianshan's main business is basically not in the Qionghua enclave."

The student immediately turned and left.

The leader of the Thunder Demon Society's wizards breathed a sigh of relief.

Wizard Smith turned to him, straightened his wizard's robes, and said in a gentle tone, "Let's wait a moment while I investigate which wizard from Golden Crown Mountain did it and what his background is."

"who is he."

"Then, we'll handle the outcome based on the situation. If the other party's background is unremarkable, I'll uphold justice for your Thunder Demon Society. We're all members of the White Wizard Association, exploring a wizarding realm together; how could this result in such heavy casualties for your Thunder Demon Society? This is utterly unacceptable!"

Wizard Smith protested, "Don't worry, I will stand up for you."

"Even a small wizarding organization should be treated fairly."

The leader of the Thunder Demon Society's wizarding class looked bewildered.

Injustice has its head, and debt has its owner.

But who should be held responsible for the Thunder Demon Society's debt?

……

The Rose Council, the witch Sueira Sharp, rushed into the common office where her academy was located, grabbed a bottle of water from the table, and gulped it down.

She looked flustered, her eyes filled with anger and resentment.

Meanwhile, in the office, many elegantly dressed florists, witnessing this scene, covered their mouths with their fingers and stared in astonishment at Sueira Sharp.

Someone asked, "Witch Sueira, what happened to you? Where are your fellow disciples? Where are they?"

The witch Suera Sharp, panting, said, "Where is Director Lana? I need to see her to seek justice."

"Golden Crown Mountain... The wizards of Golden Crown Mountain have gone too far!"

"I want her to seek justice!"

A flower language master exclaimed in surprise, "What? Could it be that you were ruined by the wizards of Golden Crown Mountain?"

"Yes, it's them!" said the witch Sueira Sharp.

……

Within the abyss ruins, Locke and the witch Shirley saw that the scene before them had transformed.

A mortal king, wielding a greatsword and clad in heavy armor, pointed his sword at a lich at the first stage of crystallization.

The fight between the two was extremely fierce.

The lich's necromancy school of magic is diverse and powerful. Moreover, killing someone casually can summon death energy, using death to summon death, like a snowball rolling bigger and bigger.

The greatsword in the mortal king's hand had an iron ball embedded in its center, and flames would fly every time the sword was swung.

He was a mortal, but as long as he held that King's Sword, he possessed the magical pressure of the first stage of crystallization.

That iron ball was clearly no ordinary object; it was the work of a high-ranking wizard.

Locke and the witch Shirley quickly realized that this must be the beginning of the mortal age.

The mortal king then severed the lich's head and trampled it under his feet.

The lich's head fell to the ground, and it said resentfully, "No, I curse you, Otto. You helped mortals, you stood on the side of mortals. I curse you."

"Wizards should be granted immortality."

“Wizards should live forever and rule for eternity. Wizards should keep this world forever still and never move forward. We are not wrong.”

The mortal king severed his head with a single sword strike, and flames immediately descended, completely engulfing the lich's skull.

Van der Von smirked and said, "Thank you, King Otto. With your power, we are able to fight these monsters."

Locke saw the King of Mortals holding a sacrifice here, but this time the object of the sacrifice was not the Tower of the Black Sun, nor 'the Heaven', but... [the Royal Court of Heliotos].

The lich and its army of undead minions, amidst the burning flames, transformed into pure spirits that drifted into the sky.

The mortal king and his mortal army celebrate here, for they have won another victory.

King Van raised his flaming greatsword and said, "The Royal Court of Heliotos is now almost seventy percent the size of this world."

"King Otto will be re-crowned in the city where the princess was born. This is his second coronation, and this coronation will herald the arrival of the mortal age."

"The liches are a thing of the past."

Locke and the witch Shirley exchanged a glance.

The witch Shirley said, "It seems that the lich king was killed by Otto during this period of time."

Locke nodded.

The scene then shifts, and they appear before another Van king, who is secretly plotting something with his subordinates in a small, dark room.

Inside the wooden hut, the mortal king whispered, "Gentlemen, King Otto was, after all, a wizard. If he doesn't leave this era, will the age of mortals truly arrive?"

"Now that we have the King's Sword given to us by King Otto, we possess power, and we have even killed many of those once invincible monsters."

"Then can this force stand against King Otto?"

King Van raised the greatsword of thunder in his hand, and all the weapons in the hands of his subordinates in the wooden house were illuminated by the magical radiance of the greatsword, and lightning flashed on the surface of these weapons.

The Greatsword of the King can bless his army, granting them magical powers.

This represents the pinnacle of alchemy, potions, and magic.

Locke and the witch Shirley exchanged a glance.

Locke said, "It seems that Otto's vision of the mortal era has already spiraled out of control in its formative stage before it has even officially begun."

The witch Shirley said, "He underestimated the human heart. He was hostile to wizards, yet trusted mortals too much."

"But they forgot that whether they are wizards or mortals, they are all human beings."

"The ambitions of mortals who possess power—power not acquired through learning and research—mean they lack accurate judgment. Their ability to spiral out of control might even surpass that of wizards..."
