Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 804 You kill, I'll make medicine!
Trajan's left eye, the bronze magic eye, swirled within its socket, a thin red line shooting out from his pupil.

The thin red line seemed to shoot towards a very distant place.

In the Wizarding World, there is the power of the plane to suppress his spell models, and the material world to wear down his energy. But in the Void, because there is almost no matter, energy, or plane power to suppress him, each spell model can be very large if it can be cast using the magic power in his body!

The clock-like mechanical device on the surface of Trajan's left eye, a bronze magic eye, began to turn, making a 'click' sound. Then, it seemed to lock onto something, and Trajan's bronze magic eye instantly locked onto its target.

"I found it."

His face revealed an expression that said, "A good show is about to begin."

Locke was slightly surprised.

"Senior brother, you're so fast?"

Trajan the wizard pointed to his left eye, "It's all thanks to money. I spent a fortune to have someone install it for me."

"With it, finding those dark wizards in the void will become much easier."

"In the near-Earth orbit of the void, we can use the relative distance between the Wizarding World and us and the orbital level to determine our latitude and longitude."

Trajan the wizard manipulated the peach boat, changing its direction.

"But in the void, there is an even more commonly used coordinate reference point—the astral plane."

Trajan recited a spell.

"This is a spell model from the first-circle conjuration school: Astral Light Guidance."

"I specifically learned this spell model so I can cast spells myself. If you don't know how, you can buy a first-level magic item. It can be used for a long time and it's not expensive, only 50,000 magic stones. If you buy a second-hand, third-hand, or even multi-handed item, you can get it for as low as 10,000 magic stones."

"Any lower and it won't work. The quality will be prone to problems, and being too cheap isn't a good thing either. In the void, without the ability to draw on astral light, one will lose the ability to simply determine one's relative position. One can only rely on the few objects around them for assistance."

It's clear that Trajan had a lot of experience in saving money.

A beam of starlight descended from a distant height and landed on the peach boat. Locke looked up and saw a dazzling starlight in the distance, behind which lay a strange world.

Locke raised an eyebrow.

"I have read in many documents that the astral plane contains vast astral empires, numerous intelligent species, and diverse civilizations. The astral plane is also known as the celestial realm, and it is said to be inhabited by true gods."

"Are these true?"

Locke remembered that he had seen the birth of many dimensional gods through the creation secrets of the World Tree.

Those dimensional deities do not appear to be true gods.

Trajan the Wizard said, "It must be from the documents of the first-ring wizards. The document section there is not strictly reviewed, and there are many hearsay and erroneous statements."

"Many of the cited documents are nothing but fabrications. They should not be taken seriously. I can't say for sure whether there is a true god in the astral plane, because I have visited the astral plane very few times. Going to the astral plane is more difficult than ordinary void travel."

"Only third-ring wizards can enter the Astral Plane normally. Anyone below the third ring who tries to enter the Astral Plane will pay a heavy price unless they find a special way to bypass the surveillance."

Based on the angular deviation between the Peach Boat and the Astral Plane, as well as the relative distance to the Wizarding World, the wizard Trajan calculated the current latitude and longitude.

"Let's go find those dark wizards!"

Peach Boat rode the magical wind, and petals of fallen peach blossoms fell behind it.

Peach blossom petals were left in the void, and then, their spirituality and matter were extracted, turning into shattered light particles.

Soon, Locke saw three large keel warships in the void ahead. They had no sails, but many oars that were moving automatically without wind.

The keel ship seemed to employ some special technology, allowing it to move through the void as if paddling.

Meanwhile, three keelships, equipped with magic cannons, were launching a barrage of attacks on a relatively slow-moving transport station in the void.

The transport station was wheel-shaped, looking like a space station, moving slowly through the void.

At this moment, a hysterical laugh filled the sky above the transport station, and the entire transport station was engulfed in flames by the pirate ship's magic cannons.

The ordinary second-circle wizard stationmaster in charge of operating the transport station looked extremely grim. Even the control center of the transport station was filled with a kind of hysterical laughter.

"Hahaha……"

These laughs reached the ears of every wizard at every transport station.

The second-circle protection school wizard looked extremely nervous.

"It's the wizards from the pirate mothership, no doubt about it. This is the kind of attack method that only black wizards from the enchanting school would use."

"That's the Pirate Mothership's Laughter Technique. Those are Void Pirate Ships from the fake Chaos Ships. How unlucky we are! The chance of encountering a Chaos Pirate Ship is so low, yet we've run into one."

Has our protective barrier failed?

The wizard of the Protection School looked at the True Sight Crystal Ball in front of him and saw that the protective barrier had been blasted open.

"The protective barrier will be closed in one minute, and then restarted within 30 seconds of being closed, thus completely repairing the protective barrier."

"Activate the protective barrier of the internal core buildings before closing the barrier of the transport station."

Faced with the attack of three pirate motherships, this second-circle wizard of the Protection School immediately made the appropriate judgment: to close the large protective barrier, open the inner smaller protective barrier, and take advantage of the restart to repair the large protective barrier.

This is a very reasonable judgment.

The barrier can be repaired in one go by shutting down and restarting, which is also the latest technology of the protection school.

Wizards of the typical protective school do not possess such technology.

This is a technique mastered only by the wizards of the Void Academy at their Trix Transport Station.

The next moment, the dean of the Void Academy at the Trix Transport Station ordered the large barrier to be closed, "Prepare, restart in 30 seconds. Wait... Oh no, I made a mistake."

The next moment, to the dean's horror, the instant he ordered the protective barrier to be closed and prepared to be restarted, the spell model effect that had been covering his eyes and altering his perception through the magic of the enchanting school disappeared.

He suddenly realized that the protective barrier had never been broken.

Those three pirate ships didn't have enough firepower to breach the transport station's protective barrier in a short time, preventing them from notifying the Witcher forces.

The headmaster exclaimed in alarm, "Quickly send out a distress signal and notify the White Wizard Academy's witcher force!"

'Boom~'

The next moment, three pirate ships crashed straight into the transport station. The three pirate ships had huge sharp blades on their bows, which landed above the transport station and crashed into the building.

Like a falling meteor.

Three pirate ships crashed into the transport station, causing a huge tremor and a violent spark appeared on the pirate ships.

Then, the laughter that filled the ears of all the wizards at the transport station became even clearer.

A surge of anger rose within the academy dean, and then he became uncontrollably furious. It was as if a rage was about to leap out of his soul, ignite his entire being, and burn him to ashes like a torch.

The dean's ring on his left hand suddenly shattered, and fragments of the ring fell to the ground.

His face was grim, because it was a ring worth five million magic stones.

They earn their money through hard work at the transport station, so even as the only second-ring wizard, he couldn't enjoy much. He only had one second-ring magical artifact worth five million magic stones.

This was bought with a loan.

But now it's broken.

"Fighting the enchanted pirates requires constant mental vigilance. If I lose my composure, those enchanting spells will infiltrate my mind and alter my state. That anger I felt just now didn't originate from me at all. It was just that in that fleeting moment of anger, they seized the opportunity and implanted it into my brain."

In an instant, the dean thought of even more.

Meanwhile, the pirate keel ship crashed into the Trix Transport Station like a chisel. The pirate keel ship itself was a large composite magical artifact, and each one was a super-large magical artifact of the second ring or above.

The smaller ships of the Chaos Mothership are all imbued with enchanting magic.

Centered around three pirate keelships, streams of enchanted magic flowed down like water, transforming into a crisscrossing red grid above the transport station.

In an instant, the laughter in the ears of all the wizards grew even louder.

Inside the control room, even some vaporization wizards and ordinary first-ring wizards couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"I'm sorry, Dean, I don't know why, but I just find it so funny. I really can't help it, hahaha, I'm so happy~"

"I can't stop laughing, I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe."

The headmaster of Trix Academy chanted incantations, casting a dispelling spell on their souls and removing the enchantment spells from their bodies.

"It's the Chaos Mothership's Maniacal Laughter spell. Those affected will laugh indefinitely until they die of laughter."

"In this process, the opponent's fighting power will be undermined. Because it is a kind of joyful emotion, it can easily bypass the soul's defense mechanism, making the soul mistakenly believe that it is a beneficial element, and making us fall into the trap even more unknowingly."

"this is……"

Dean Trix felt as if he was constantly stepping into traps, with every step he took being anticipated by those damned enchanting pirates.

First, he used an enchantment spell to make him believe that the protective barrier needed to be restarted to repair the damaged areas.

Then, after he helped his students and subordinates dispel the enchanting spells, the laughter around him grew even louder.

"The mechanism of this magic is that as long as I help others dispel the same type of magic, my soul will become more vulnerable to invasion? This mechanism wasn't there before, is it a new addition? Damn it, these pirates..."

"The methods they've certainly come up with are innovative."

Dean Trix saw on the True Sight Crystal Ball that the entire transport station city was enchanted, with the three pirate keel ships at its core. The once clean and tidy transport station city, after being enchanted, was now covered in strange, magenta gemstones.

The transportation station's power also seemed to have vanished.

Although the various defensive barriers and magical traps on the surface of the transport station were not destroyed, they became ineffective due to the displacement caused by the enchantment the three pirate ships had applied to the entire transport station.

The dean of Trix College looked extremely grim.

Because he knew he was doomed.

Their college is definitely going to be ransacked.

In such a void encounter, once the opponent seizes control of the aircraft, the player is completely at a disadvantage.

They are merely transporters of these supplies; it's impossible for them to fight a life-or-death battle over supplies that don't belong to them.

Therefore, the dark wizard on the other side of the pirate mothership plays the role of ramming the pirate ship into a transport station or a void warship, and then enchanting the entire spacecraft at once to indirectly control it.

Inside the control room, a fully-fledged wizard's pupils suddenly disappeared, turning into only the whites of his eyes; clearly, he had been controlled by the enchanting school's magic.

The wizard turned to the headmaster and said, "You must be the headmaster. I advise you to give up your futile resistance."

“If you continue to resist, you will all die. Your void gliders have been taken into our hands.”

“You won’t have time to send a message to the Witchers, and even if you did, we’ll have time to destroy your supply depot and leave first. You’ll gain nothing but death and the loss of all your supplies.”

"So, give up resistance. We just need to take all the supplies from this transport station, and we'll also pick out some promising wizards to take to our pirate ship so that they can become even better Void Pirates in the future."

The dean of Trix College looked grim.

"According to convention, first-class wizard apprentices are not considered wizarding prodigies; they are regular members of our academy."

The controlled wizard, staring with his eyes completely white, said, "That's the custom of lower-level wizarding areas. Your first-class wizard apprentices in Yunze Wetlands are still wizarding prospects. So, first-class wizard apprentices, I mean all first-class wizard apprentices under magical pressure, can be considered wizarding prospects. Ordinary first-class wizard apprentices are not considered people, therefore they can only be considered goods."

“We will take all the first-class wizard apprentices from your academy and have them participate in our pirate selection ceremony.”

The Dean of Trix College forced himself to remain calm.

"If you take all the goods and apprentices from our academy, what will we have left?"

“This shipment was sent from Jinmian Mountain. It’s grain destined for the colonial world. If you steal this shipment, you will offend Jinmian Mountain.”

The controlled wizard let out a cold, enigmatic laugh.

"The void is still too dangerous for you."

"Let's take the whole academy back to the surface. This place is not suitable for an academy as weak as yours, with such a foolish leader."

"If you dare to utter another word, we'll turn you all into human weapons and make you fight for us!"

The wizard rolled the whites of his eyes and twisted his neck as a torrent of emotions breached his soul's defenses and flooded his brain.

At the same time, red, crisscrossing grid-like enchanted energy appeared on the ground. Now the entire transport station has been enchanted by the three pirate ships that crashed in, so the enchanting conditions on the entire transport ship have been greatly reduced.

The ordinary first-ring wizard who was being controlled had a facial tattoo that looked like a tear, and his entire body was being refined into a 'human weapon' by the enchanting school.

'Human-machine' refers to the view of a living being as a completed object, which is then enchanted. This viewpoint has been judged by the White Wizarding Association to confuse the relationship between humans and objects, and is considered illegal research.

For the White Wizard Association, 'things' cannot be consumed, but 'people' can. The two are clearly distinct and must never be confused, otherwise it would shake the economic foundation of the White Wizard Society.

And the 'human-machine' magic is precisely the unique style of magic used on pirate motherships.

The current captain of the pirate mothership, known as Captain Wizard, was wanted by the White Wizard Association for violating ethical standards by conducting unethical experiments, which finally pushed them to their limits.

He himself escaped all the way to the Chaos Mothership.

The original pirate mothership was far less powerful than it is today, but thanks to the addition of this Wizard of Truth, it has become increasingly powerful and is now ranked among the top two in the Five Great Wars.

They are competing with the Abyss Demons for second place and for first.

The headmaster of Trix Academy seemed shocked by the evil magic before him. Among the Void Pirates, only the pirate mothership's pirates were the most evil and the most organized.

He usually encountered petty pirates who would only harass him. Once they realized he was not to be trifled with, or if they offered him some valuables, they would leave on their own.

He had only encountered attacks from the pirate mothership's dark wizards a few times, but these attacks were almost always unsuccessful. Only today, however, did he manage to be tricked by the enemy's enchantment and voluntarily dismantle the large defensive barrier.

Looking back now, he realized that his previous near misses with the dark wizards on the pirate mothership likely stemmed from the influence of their 'human-machine' enchantment magic. He was probably gradually enchanted until this time, when he was completely deceived.

Wizard Trix took a half step back. "How can there be such evil magic in this world?"

The next moment, that person will be refined into a human vessel, and from then on, he will no longer be human.

The man screamed unconsciously as the human part of his soul was being refined.

But at that very moment, the controlled wizard suddenly stopped screaming, his head stopped shaking, and his eyes stopped moving. The sounds that had been playing in the control room, which sounded like loud laughter, came to an abrupt halt.

The next moment, the laughter that had stopped had just started again, but it changed from "ha" to "ah," and then from laughter to screams.

The controlled wizard was shocked and astonished.

"The Witcher? It's that executioner wizard! Oh no, my luck is so bad."

"No, wait a minute, ah..."

The controlled wizard collapsed to the ground, the demonic markings on his face vanishing. He looked up, bewildered, at his surroundings.

Those around were still in shock.

The second-ring wizard, however, seemed to have an idea and quickly walked to the True Sight Crystal to check the situation outside.

Suddenly, a peach-shaped boat appeared in the void, and the small and exquisite peach-shaped boat floated next to the three pirate ships.

At the same time, a peach blossom storm erupted on the three pirate ships, and a large number of dark wizards were blown into the air by the peach blossom storm and fell into the void.

Trajan the Wizard first rushed into the three pirate ships, holding a peach branch in his hand. Using the spell model of the Peach Bow Thorn Arrow, he first held the thorn arrow and transformed it into a date spear, then pierced through the Star Ring Wizard who was continuously casting the Laughing spell, pinning him to the wall of the pirate ship.

At the same time, he used a peach leaf dart to pierce through the Star Ring Wizard who had cast the [Brain Enchantment Charm].

Then, he used a Peach Killing Curse to cover the three black wizard ships.

A murderous urge flickered across Trajan's face.

He looked down at the peach blossom petal in his hand, which looked like fresh blood and was extremely beautiful.

The Sun Ring-level Peach Killing Curse is the Three Thousand Peach Killing Curse.

Peach is bloodthirsty; the more people Peach Kills, the stronger it becomes.

If many good people are killed, then the Peach Killing Curse will turn into an evil curse.

If many evil people are killed, then the Peach Killing Curse will transform into a benevolent curse.

Trajan, who had been in the void for over a decade, could only say that no innocent souls had been harmed by his Peach Curse!
Trajan the wizard raised his knife and slashed across the neck of a wizard in the vaporization stage, countless peach blossoms flying out from his sleeves.

The next moment, a flower of blood bloomed on the black wizard's neck.

The black wizard's soul and his permanent defensive field were destroyed in an instant.

Behind Trajan the Wizard, his immense magic was faintly revealed: a peach tree growing in a seemingly closed world, surrounded by lightning.

And for each dark wizard he killed, he used the Three Thousand Peach Killing Curse to refine this immense magic once more.

The dark wizards on the pirate mothership gathered around, their faces grim.

"Oh no, it's a Witcher."

"Or the worst-case scenario, that's the executioner wizard."

Without saying a word to them, the wizard Trajan raised his right hand, and a wisp of peach petal appeared. The next moment, the Three Thousand Peach Killing Curse was activated, and countless peach blossoms flew out from his hand.

One after another.

It aimed at the necks of those dark wizards.

On the peach boat, Locke exclaimed in amazement, "Senior brother, he can actually use the blood of a black wizard to temper his great magic. No wonder he is called the executioner wizard."

"The Peach Killing Curse is indeed miraculous."

Valerie Quinn looked at Locke and said, "Junior Uncle, now you know how crazy my master is? He doesn't speak when he kills people; he only speaks after he's finished."

"So we have no way to talk to him right now."

“Junior Uncle, if you’re interested, you can also learn the Peach Killing Curse. I’m currently learning it, but this magic seems to be a special inherited magic of Golden Crown Mountain. You have to go through a special process to learn it, just like your Peach Bow Thorn Arrow magic.”

"Junior Uncle, are you going to disembark and join the battle? Hmm? What are you doing with that big cauldron?"

Locke hoisted the bronze cauldron onto his shoulder and laughed, “With my senior brother helping me hunt down the corpses of the black wizards, I really don’t need to do it myself. I’ll borrow those black wizards to make medicine.”

“I think my senior brother won’t mind. His Three Thousand Peach Killing Curse only requires completing the killing process, and for me, refining medicine only requires the spirituality of these black wizards.”

"Valerie, would you like to try my medicine?"

Valerie immediately showed a look of horror, and then she saw Locke jump off the peach boat, follow Trajan with a bronze cauldron, and suck the bodies of the dark wizards into the cauldron.
