Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 690 The Viren Jewel and the Smith Family's Three Great Magics

At Quinjol University, atop a wizard's tower on Mount Holy Spring, a six-eyed raven suddenly entered through a window and landed on the ground the instant it flew in. Its feathers transformed into a black wizard's robe, and the raven itself became a witch.

Six-Eyed Raven, a renowned three-ring wizard at Quinnjoll University.

Her expertise in breeding, metamorphosis, and botany, along with her oracles, all possess a three-tiered structure, and even at the three-tiered level, she is not an unknown figure.

It's just that because it's so diverse, it excels in each of the four areas, but it hasn't won the throne in any of them.

The werewolf guards in the wizard tower atop Quinjol University immediately bowed to the witch. "Good evening, Lady Candice."

Lady Candice glanced at him. "Quidan, just how far is the Chaos World from the Wizarding World?"

Quedan Werewolf, a renowned second-ring Moon Ring Wizard [The Watcher] at Quinnjoll University, immediately said, "Lady Candice, the Chaos Sea cannot escape my eyes. My ultimate magic, Eye of the Azure Sky, was created for this purpose."

"Based on my observation, the Chaos Sea is currently in the third-to-last orbit of the near-Earth orbit in the void."

Mrs. Candice nodded. "Quidan, thank you for your hard work."

"Continue monitoring, and report to me immediately any possibility of a chaotic war breaking out prematurely."

This wizard's tower is located at the highest point of Mount Holy Spring, overlooking the Void and the Quinnjoll region, and monitoring magical reactions in various places.

Lady Candice looked at Edgar, who had just run up the Wizard's Tower, and said, "Edgar, how was the taste of the Well of Wisdom? I'm currently in charge of the Chaos War, so I'm quite busy. You don't need to come and help me anytime soon."

“Edgar, you have taken over the data from the project that my Moon Ring Wizard’s research group spent ten years completing for you.”

Edgar, dressed in the jeweled wizarding robes of Quinnjoll University, spoke up: “Teacher, I believe that great magic is incompatible with my nature.”

Wizard Edgar pondered for a moment and said, "It seems better if I can do it myself. Besides, it's the culmination of ten years of hard work by my senior brothers and sisters, and they've just given it to me..."

Lady Candice smiled and said, "Your confidence is precisely why I chose you as my last disciple. But Edgar, you are still too young and your vision is still lacking."

"Don't rush to refuse. Why not accept it first and see if it suits your taste?"

“It’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s just that this is the result of my planning over the past ten years. It’s not that I’m targeting you, but even you are an excellent executor who appeared before me by chance. My team has been planning the Great Magic Modeling Competition for ten years and has made all the preparations for it. Edgar, can you accept those things?”

Edgar was about to say something, but Lady Candice flicked her sleeve, and instantly Edgar the Wizard was teleported to the foot of the Wizard Tower.

The eyes of the Quedan werewolf seemed to contain a turquoise sky. "This Great Magic Modeling Competition is happening almost at the same time as the Five Great Wars, which is quite a coincidence. I wonder if this will cause trouble."

Lady Candice sneered. "The Grand Magic Modeling Competition has big names from Mystic Heaven, Starfield Sea, and Green Steel City coming to watch. It would be interesting if the dark wizards jumped out at this time. We'll see if they dare."

……

Jinmian Mountain, inside the Zhenzhiyuan dormitory.

Locke looked at Daniel and asked, "Then, how could a wizard who is not a weatherman create this Velen Fog?"

Daniel took out a precious gem from his astral ring.

This jewel looks like a large pearl.

Daniel said, "This is the Viren Jewel that I created, which contains a certain amount of light particles of the tungsten element."

"Simply place this orb in water to create the Mist of Velen."

"I see you seem interested, so I'll give it to you. However, there's a usage limit. Once you run out of the light particles of the uranium element inside, you'll need to buy more to recharge it. Also, magical artifacts have a durability issue."

Locke nodded slightly. All he needed to do was find an energy carrier medium that could enhance the energy flow of his Great Magic Blueprint System.

This is simply a patch to one's own blueprint magic.

It is permitted, at least during the construction of great magic, and is a very common practice. As for how to fully integrate it afterward, that is a question to be considered when reforging.

Or rather, it's fine if I don't participate in the Great Magic Modeling Competition; if I were to participate, I would definitely bring some equipment.

After all, adding some equipment to one's great magic is something any wizard would do; if you don't bring it, it's like you're missing an item of equipment compared to others.

That's not wise.

Completely independent ultimate magic either requires multiple forgings or is too rudimentary to participate in highly competitive competitions.

Locke took the jewel, examined it briefly, and after confirming that there were no problems, said, "Daniel, thank you."

"This thing will be very useful to me."

Daniel said, "It's for the Grand Magic Modeling Competition, right? So, it's definitely for Grand Magic Modeling. I guessed it when you came to me before. It's just that I'm disappointed that this special mist is like a gel, and its practicality isn't as high as I thought."

Locke glanced at Daniel, snapped his fingers, and instantly the clear water from the fish tank in his living room, which was carefully maintained by the servants, flew into the jewel, causing the Velen Jewel to light up with magical radiance.

Then, a cloud of gelatinous mist began to appear.

A magical moon appeared at the top of the room, and under its light, the heavy mist began to flow, as smoothly as water or wind.

The moon was obscured by a hazy, indistinct light.

Daniel looked at the moon, half of which was obscured by the Velen Mist, and said with slight surprise, "I see. Although the Velen Mist has very poor fluidity, it can be given fluidity by intervening with the moon's gravity."

"Or rather, the low fluidity of the Velen Mist is actually a good thing in this situation. Because, in this way, only your lunar gravity, that is, the gravity formed from moonlight, can make this mist move according to your will. Other magic will find it difficult to make the mist move according to your predetermined plan over a large area."

Locke laughed and said, "That's exactly right."

"That's why I said you really helped me a lot. Thank you, Daniel."

Daniel nodded. "And you've given me some new inspiration too."

Daniel fell into deep thought. "By the way, I heard your opponent this time is the Smith family. They're a powerful weatherman and wizarding family from Yunze Wetlands."

"Their clan's most powerful magic... is all related to meteorites."

Locke nodded and said, "Yes. I've seen their data on ultimate magic. The Smith family has three ultimate magics passed down through generations: Ultimate Magic: Meteor from Outer Space, Ultimate Magic: Frost Comet, and Ultimate Magic: Infernal Fall."

Locke rattled off the details with ease, “The Academy gave me the relevant information. The Smith family is a famous family of weathermen, specializing in meteorology. Of course, meteorology, a subfield within the weather science branch of the Energistics school, is a major discipline.”

"Because of the origin of meteorite science, which comes from the wizarding leader's land in the central region [the origin], the Smith family is merely the authoritative representative of meteorite science in the Cloud Marsh Wetland, a weatherman group." "Among them, the Great Magic - Frost Comet seems to be some kind of huge frost comet that can affect celestial phenomena, cause celestial responses, and create huge low temperatures and blizzards."

"Currently, their family has three second-circle wizards, who possess this kind of great magic."

Ultimate spells can be standardized, or rather, most wizards' ultimate spells are standardized spells.

After all, there's plenty of experience to draw upon when using standard magic.

Of course, although it is a standard spell, it seems that due to subsequent forging issues, even the same ultimate spell will have some slight differences.

Not to mention, wizards have a habit of fine-tuning a spell model to suit their own soul.

Of course, this issue doesn't need to be considered during the Great Magic Modeling Competition, since everyone is only at the level of a regular second-circle wizard.

There's no need to consider the characteristics of massive magic forged in multiple forgings.

Locke said, "The ultimate spell, Fiery Hellfall, seems to be a huge meteorite that crashes into the earth in an instant, causing a huge impact on the environment. The Smith family also has three second-circle wizards whose ultimate spell is this spell."

"As for the ultimate spell, Meteor from Outer Space, it's the Smith family's most complex ultimate spell, which I didn't quite understand. It seems that most of the Smith family's second-circle wizards possess this spell. The effect is also very strange, and the information they gave me was vague."

"It is said that a large number of meteors will fall to the ground, bringing something from outer space to the earth. The effects will vary depending on the wizard."

Locke pondered, "I don't know which kind of meteoric magic Smith will choose to construct. But I imagine he won't stray from these three ancestral Smith family great magic spells."

“These wizarding families have templates to follow when constructing great magic, and they have the blessings from their ancestors. Under normal circumstances, they will not change their ways.”

“It’s not as easy to change magic as it is for us common wizards, who can come and go as they please and choose whatever extreme magic we want.” Locke said, “It’s not as free as it is for us common wizards.”

Daniel blinked, somewhat speechless. "Ahem... Locke, you're making it sound too nice. Actually, we just learn whatever's available, we don't really have much choice. Of course, now that we're at Golden Crown Mountain, we'll definitely have a lot more flexibility."

"After all, it doesn't matter if we just pick any attack spell and use it as our ultimate spell. Our parents are unlikely to give us any support anyway."

Locke said, "Everything has its advantages and disadvantages."

Daniel said, "In short, the Smith family is a very famous weatherman family. Just thinking about the opportunity for my work to participate in the Great Magic Modeling Contest and compete against that legendary weatherman family is very exciting."

"I feel like my dream has come true."

Daniel laughed and said, "Back then, many people said that if the Smith family hadn't disdained to participate in the Misawa Cup, I wouldn't have been able to win the Misawa Cup."

"Many people have said this over the years. Even I have some doubts about myself. Perhaps they are right, that true geniuses from wizarding families would disdain participating in a competition like the Sanze Cup?"

Locke laughed and said, "I think that might not be the case."

He patted Daniel on the shoulder. "The Sanze Cup hides immense honor and resources. Daniel, I don't believe the Smith family wizards would stoop to participating in such a competition."

"You are the most outstanding first-ring weather wizard in the Three Swamps. I believe you are. You won the Three Swamps Cup fair and square. Don't doubt yourself because of the comments of those wizards who dare not directly compare themselves to you."

The little witch Helen, whom Daniel brought along, listened without daring to speak, as the conversation between Locke and her teacher was far too sophisticated for her.

She couldn't understand at all.

The Sanze Cup is already a very prestigious competition at the first-level, even surpassing the Yunze Cup.

But for the Silent Grail, none of them can compare.

Wizard Daniel was somewhat excited. "So, I'm giving you the Viren Orb. Because I guessed your purpose."

“Locke, I want to prove something to the world. Those weathermen from the Smith family aren’t necessarily better than me. I may have missed the Silent Grail, but I can offer you advice. I’ve heard that participants in the Great Magic Modeling Competition are allowed to have advisory teams.”

Wizard Daniel volunteered, "Why don't you take me with you? I don't want to miss the opportunity to fight against wizards from the Smith family from afar."

Locke paused for a moment, but then thought that having such an excellent wizard as Daniel as his advisor would indeed be a good thing.

Wizard Smith has even brought Medea the Witch into his staff, and it seems he also has a research group of advisors.

It wouldn't be unreasonable to use a champion from the Sanze Cup as a cheat code for your brain.

Locke pondered, "If you have the time and don't have any projects you need to finish urgently, that would be great. I really don't know much about weathermen."

"Speaking of which, I don't know much about my opponent from Bonifacio University. I've only seen the information the college provided, so I don't know much about her as a person. As for Edgar... I beat him once at the Yunze Cup last time."

Locke said, "I'll ask Diana the Witch if she'd be willing to be on my staff. Even though we didn't go to the same school."

He had barely sent the message when Diana, the witch, replied a moment later. 'This kind of opportunistic behavior reminds me of the wizards of Nexus.'

"Locke, I don't want to be ostracized by my school. Other competitions are fine, but I can't just randomly take sides in the Silent Grail War."

'I refuse.'

Locke blinked. "She refused? But are all the people in Nexus opportunists? I thought only the Witch Camilla had that kind of personality, it seems her situation is influenced by her environment."

"She is, after all, a wizard from Boniface University, Locke," said Wizard Daniel.

Locke thought for a moment, then sent a message to the Preston Witch, asking if she was familiar with the witch at Bonifacius University.

The Preston Witch did indeed reply very quickly. "Little Locke, I'm currently traveling the colony world, enjoying my life as the White Dragon Queen who rules the entire world. Don't message me for now; I need to immerse myself in this enjoyment."

Locke was completely bewildered.

What the hell is this?
Soon, the Preston Witch sent herself another message: 'Oh, that person. I met her when I went to Quinnjoll for a lecture. I'll tell you about her sometime.'

Daniel leaned closer and looked at Locke. "Locke, the conditions for your competition are really strict. Your two teammates... Antoine and Preston... neither of them are normal."

Daniel looked at Locke with pity. "It seems you really need my wisdom."

Locke looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

Your wisdom?

That person just climbed out of a honey trap not long ago.
