Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 182 The Super Genius Sophia Witch

Locke blinked.

The witch Sophia said, "You should have some connection with this person. The plant curse you've been in charge of recently was the work of his student, Severin Sagamore."

Locke felt a bit overwhelmed. Killing a formal wizard-level dark wizard seemed like a fantasy to him right now, as if it were a very distant dream.

Locke said, "Then... then teacher, are you confident in killing Rashid Taril? Dark wizards have far more combat experience than we white wizards."

Sophia the witch said, "Rashid Taliel is not too bad among formal wizards. His spiritual power has been vaporized, so he is not an ordinary formal wizard."

"As far as I know, he has been a formal wizard for over thirty years. During these thirty years, he has taught and mentored many students and has also achieved many research results. His strength should not be underestimated."

Locke couldn't help but worry. "Then teacher...you..."

Sophia the Witch shook her head slightly. "But he is no match for me. I can kill him. He will die if I want to. I am absolutely certain of that."

"If I can't even kill a formal wizard-level black wizard who has been living a leisurely life in a place like the Southeast Corner Region for over thirty years, then I have no reason to go to the Starfield Sea."

“Locke, remember what I said. Even if you don’t come to the Starfield Sea in the future, you should go to other better places. The Southeast Corner Region is very good for first-class wizard apprentices, but it’s not a good place for formal wizards.”

Locke fell into deep thought. Rashid Taril had been a formal wizard for over thirty years, and was even a formal wizard at the so-called vaporization stage. Although he didn't understand what the vaporization stage was, it sounded like he wasn't an ordinary formal wizard.

His teacher, the witch Sophia, had only been a formal wizard for three years. During those three years, she spent most of her time completing academy tasks, and even her teaching of him was initially only because of academy tasks.

But she was so convinced that if she wanted to kill Rashid Tharil, Rashid Tharil would definitely die.

At this moment, Locke suddenly realized that he had overlooked something—his teacher, the witch Sophia, probably possessed a talent that was not at the level of an ordinary child of the elements.

Her talent may far exceed her own imagination.

'Talent is merely the starting point on the path of magic.' Locke only then realized the meaning of those words.

They all have level 7 talents, but some people are not just more compatible with certain elemental particles; their thinking, their thought process, and their speed of producing results are all faster than others.

At that time, their talent was no longer limited to the definition of talent at the apprentice level.

Locke asked the witch Sophia, "Teacher, what do you need me to do?"

The witch Sophia nodded. "Clever, you guessed why I summoned you."

“To kill Rashid Taril, I need to infiltrate the territory of the Blood Curse Court. I need some people to help me. Your magic power has been improving rapidly recently, which will certainly give you some practical experience.”

“Of course, you can refuse,” said the witch Sophia. “I’m not forcing you. In fact, I am a little worried about your safety. If you only want to be a white wizard focused on pure research, then you really don’t need to learn how to fight.”

“I also asked some of my friends to help me. Among them is Albert, a first-class wizarding apprentice who is now the potions-training wizard at Lilith Hut.”

“Another of Lady Morgana’s formal wizard students will also help me. And my teacher, Lady Morgana, will facilitate our actions from other directions.” Sophia the Witch said to Locke, “Furthermore, she will send some first-class wizard apprentices to accompany us.” “I will be the main force in this operation. Therefore, you will all be relatively safe, and in the end, only I will go to kill Rashid Taril.”

"Your main task is to assist me in infiltrating the territory of the Blood Curse Court. You can think of it as an infiltration mission similar to those Blood Curse Court wizard apprentices infiltrating our Lilith Hut territory."

Sophia asked curiously, "Locke, do you want to get involved?"

Locke was surprised that Sophia and Lady Morgana had reconciled. He wondered if he had played a part in it. After thinking for a while, he said, "Teacher, I'll participate."

"As your student, it would be unreasonable for me not to participate."

Sophia's lips curled slightly. "The cursed spell research institute we're about to attack is rumored to have an important resource storage point inside, including a large amount of Tartarus cave worm spinal fluid."

"If the rumors are true, we could seize a batch of these valuable resources. We can distribute them ourselves, and you should need them too."

Locke raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that he would have such an opportunity to obtain the spinal fluid of the Tartarus burrowworm, which he had longed for for so long.

There are many reasons why I chose to participate.

Most importantly, the witch Sophia was indeed very good to me.

All the other first-class wizard apprentices went to help her, but she, as her student, didn't even step forward. That's not right.

Since you enjoy the benefits, you must bear the corresponding responsibilities.

The second main reason is that it is indeed a rare opportunity for experience.

My teacher isn't someone who speaks carelessly. If she says she's confident, then she's definitely confident. If she says it's relatively safe, then it really is relatively safe.

Now that I'm a first-class wizard apprentice, not a weak infant who needs protection, I'm at least confident in my ability to save my life.

This intrusion into the dark wizard's territory might yield some special spoils.

Moreover, this was also a way to collect practical data on the defensive magical plants he had developed for the Blood Curse Court.

The witch Sophia said, "The operation will take place in a month!"

"You can make more preparations, and it would be best to prepare some magical items that are effective against curse magic."

The witch Sophia thought for a moment, then took out a heart-shaped glass bottle containing a blue potion from her astral ring and handed it to Locke, saying, "This is the Heart of the Giant Tree Potion. The main ingredient in the potion is the heart of the Talmud Tree People. Consider this part of my payment to you in advance."

Just as Locke was about to speak, the witch Sophia said, "At the same time, this is also the coming-of-age gift I promised you earlier."
