Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 199 Sophia the Witch's Insights
Leonie Murphy received the resources, and with something implanted in him by Locke, he developed some loyalty to Locke.

In his view, he was already one of Locke's men; he had successfully sided with Locke.

This is the rule of the dark wizarding world.

A slave either grows up to become a slave owner himself, or he chooses a slave owner to whom he can rely.

If the slave owner plants something on the slave, such as a curse to control him, then the slave becomes the slave owner's person.

So, for some reason, Leonie Murphy felt a sense of security when she looked at Locke again.

He thought to himself that he should have sided with the White Wizard long ago. White Wizard slave owners were less cruel than Black Wizard slave owners, weren't they?

Moreover, the white wizard slave owners also have access to cultivation potion resources.

Leonie Murphy bowed to Locke and then said respectfully, "Master, I need to make a significant contribution to be transferred back to the Blood Curse Court."

Locke asked coldly, "What constitutes a major meritorious service?"

Leonie Murphy immediately replied honestly, "For example, obtaining some important intelligence from the White Wizards, or destroying some important research equipment or research project of the White Wizards, etc..."

"As long as the requirements are met, I might be temporarily transferred back. Master, my main job at the Curse Spell Research Institute was the geometric folding of curse spells. If you need me to work for you, please don't hesitate to ask. If you're happy, I'm happy; if you're angry, I'm angry..."

Locke frowned slightly. He didn't understand curse magic and had no idea what the so-called geometric folding of curse spells was.

Locke waved his hand and said, "You go first. I have people with the patrol team, so your basic safety can be guaranteed. The condition is that you cannot directly or indirectly harm any White Wizard."

"Furthermore, if you have any important intelligence, you must immediately find a way to notify me."

"Otherwise, our agreement is off."

"Furthermore, I do not tolerate double agents. If I discover you, I will kill you immediately. And no information about you will escape my notice."

Locke's gaze was cold.

Leonie Murphy bowed to Locke. “Master, rest assured, from today onwards, I will be loyal only to you.”

"The Blood Curse Tribunal is in complete disarray. I have no one supervising me anymore, and until Severin dies, no one should pay any attention to me..."

After reaffirming his loyalty to Locke, Leonie Murphy cautiously crouched down, left the road, and entered the woods, where he lay in wait before disappearing.

Locke watched his departing figure, lost in thought.

Having acquired a dark wizard spy is not bad, and I also have original research on the curse of magical plants, which will be of great help to my subsequent cultivation of the Emerald Iris Lichen series of magical plants.

I can use this more complete data to cultivate the second generation of Emerald Iris Lichen and Eye of Perseus, and upgrade them.

Many excellent magical plants only undergo minor upgrades every few years. After several decades, these magical plants may no longer be considered magical plants, except for their original names.

These magical plants are typically the focus of research in major laboratories and project teams, with rapid iteration speeds. Lilith's Cottage has quite a few of these magical plants from such project teams. ...

In Sophia's office, Locke told her about the information he had on the cursed magical plants and about the fact that he had taken in a dark wizard spy.

Sophia returned the documents to Locke. "Locke, I'm leaving Lilith's Cottage soon, so I don't need to read these documents about the cursed plants anymore. However, I suggest you use these documents to publish a few articles, which happen to be content that the White Wizard's Library is missing."

"You can earn a lot of contribution points."

“As for that spy,” Sophia the Witch smirked, “you did a very good job.”

“I do have some dark wizard spies on my hands, but none of them are related to the curse spell research institute that Severin’s wizard mentor is in charge of.”

“The dark wizard apprentice you control is very useful for my operation. I have some high-ranking dark wizard spies on my hands, and I can help him fabricate major achievements to get him transferred back to his original research institute of curse magic.”

"If all else fails, I can leak some information about important projects in my lab and let him return with real credit. Then you can use the summoned tomb spirit to help me pinpoint the location of their base and how many defensive spells are around it."

The witch Sophia said with satisfaction, "Locke, you have really done a great job this time."

"However, you've learned the archaeological spells of the dark wizards?"

Locke nodded slightly to the witch Sophia. "Yes, teacher, I just wanted to broaden my horizons, but who knew I would learn a part of it."

The witch Sophia nodded in satisfaction. "It's because of the special bloodline you possess, isn't it?"

"That seems to be the bloodline of a magical creature that couldn't possibly come from the southeast corner region. That's why I didn't detect it before, and I've hidden the examination records for you, which will save you a lot of trouble."

"In addition, that archaeologist named McCarthy from Chimera Market stirred things up with you... so you learned archaeology magic."

“Indeed, archaeology spells are very useful, especially for studying ancient bloodlines and ancient magical relics,” the witch Sophia said enthusiastically. “You have this talent, and it’s certainly excellent that you can learn this spell.”

"The City of a Thousand Towers possesses a large number of ancient magical relics. The City of a Thousand Towers Academy has a large number of special recruitment opportunities and special subsidies for talents in this field."

"It's not just the city of a thousand towers."

"There are many universities in the Starry Sea, and they all have some additional skill requirements when recruiting faculty members."

“After all, things are different now than before. The requirements for formal wizards have become much stricter.” Sophia rubbed her temples. “The Starfield Sea is a big place, and formal wizards from various wizarding lands are flocking to that area, so it’s very difficult to find a job there.”

"If you have some special skills, that's a big plus and can give you a significant advantage when you're taking the teaching exam."

The witch Sophia shared some of her insights from passing the Starfield Sea teaching qualification exam with Locke. "You'll definitely find these experiences useful when you take the teaching qualification exam in the future."

Locke quickly replied, "Teacher, I'm still a long way from being a formal wizard. My current magic power isn't even 600 yet..."

Sophia the Witch smiled but said nothing.
