Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 24 Official Wizard
Locke and Laun exchanged a glance.

Locke asked, "Then, esteemed witch Barbara Wayne, what kind of magic does the Bone Order specialize in?"

What are the benefits of us joining?

Barbara Wayne said, "The Bone Order specializes in the magic of the Necromancer school. Our magic, which is related to the Bone School of Necromancer, is the most powerful in the southeastern region."

"In addition, we are also proficient in the curse and black magic aspects of the spiritual school."

"Once you join, you can do whatever you want—murder, arson, anything goes. The most important thing for the cult is to offer a blood sacrifice to the leader of the Bone Cult every month. Other than that, we have no rules... Hahahaha... Don't you want to join?"

Locke was speechless. He wanted to become a wizard, study magic, and explore the truth, not become a cult member.

But then again, what kind of freedom is murder and arson? I'm not a pervert, why would I need that kind of freedom?

Locke declined, saying, "Ms. Barbara, my primary elemental affinity is wood. It doesn't quite align with the magic that your Bone Cult specializes in, so I'll pass."

Laun quickly added, "My primary compatible element is light element particles, and my secondary compatible element is wood element particles. I don't meet your requirements either."

Barbara Wayne's face immediately darkened. "You two are really asking for trouble."

“I am a first-class wizard apprentice, while you are merely lowly third-class wizard apprentices. Before me, you are not much stronger than a frail infant.”

"Since that's the case, I'll take you away by force."

Barbara Wayne pointed her finger lightly at the enchanted item in Laun's hand, and Laun was immediately alarmed to find that the pale silver light on the magical silver cross sword in his hand was rapidly extinguishing.

Swallowed into darkness.

"Why? How could this happen? Why have my enchanted items stopped working?" Lauen asked.

Barbara laughed and said, "You have walked far too little on the path of magic. There are things you simply cannot understand. That was your greatest reliance, and now it is gone."

"so……"

She looked at the mandela vine wrapped around Locke's right hand and said, "Young man, you've gone down the wrong path."

“I’m really annoyed by your plant. You clearly have a talent for necromancy. I can see the thick death aura swirling around your soul.”

Locke was shocked. So that's how it is. The one who was truly favored was himself, and Laun was just dragged into it because of him.

The other party is a dark wizard with a high affinity for negative energy particles, so he can naturally sense his own affinity for negative energy particles.

I am being closely watched.

It's likely that on this wizard ship, many promising wizards with an affinity for negative energy particles have already been targeted by various dark wizarding organizations.

Barbara Wayne raised her hand and looked at the mandrake vine in Locke's hand. "So, I'll remove that eyesore from you."

"Plant magic is nothing in the face of necromancy."

Locke was startled. He had spent two years learning this magic, and if it was sealed by the enchanted item in Lauen's hands, then he would have wasted two years of his time.

The problem is that he has no idea what methods the other party used to seal Laun's demonized items.

The other party was a first-class wizard apprentice, and the methods he used were completely incomprehensible to him.

Now Locke is gradually realizing how fatal it is to not understand the methods of others in the wizarding world.

This means there is a huge gap between the two wizards, so huge that they cannot understand each other's magic.

I've only just entered the wizarding world, and I already have to face a relatively mature dark wizard. This is too difficult for me.

Just as Locke was about to use his vine hand to desperately resist, his heart suddenly sank as he felt something pressing down on him. The immense pressure caused both Locke and Laun beside him to kneel on one knee.

Not only the two of them, but even the seemingly unfathomable Barbara Wayne in front of them was kneeling on the ground, gritting her teeth.

The thirty zombies surrounding him exploded and turned into fragments in an instant.

Barbara Wayne seemed quite panicked. "A formal... a formal wizard... this time, the wizard ship is being led by a formal wizard."

"Oh no, there's a full-fledged white wizard here..."

The next moment, an even greater magical pressure came from all directions towards her, causing Barbara to spit out a mouthful of blood and rendering her almost unable to move.

"No, this radiation intensity is too high. Is this really the magical pressure that a living being could generate?"

Barbara quickly took out a bottle of unknown potion from her clothes and drank it.

Not only Barbara, but also many dark wizards in the black fog in the sky were also knocked into the sea by this terrible magical pressure.

At that moment, all the plants on the deck swayed simultaneously, as if welcoming someone's arrival. In an instant, every single zombie on the deck sprouted a red flower on its head. The flower absorbed the zombies' nutrients, then quickly withered and bore fruit.

In an instant, the zombie rain was broken.

The fruits that fell onto the deck withered rapidly, and from the withered seeds, butterflies made of petals fluttered out, transforming into a sea of ​​cherry blossoms that charged toward the black mist.

Locke heard Jarvis, the mentor on the deck, say with delight, "It was the Cherry Blossom Spell cast by Lord Zeno Smith, the official wizard of my Four Seasons Garden."

A wizard appeared between Barbara, Locke, and Laun, wearing a wizard's robe embroidered with lilies of the valley and hyacinths, and a wizard's hat decorated with at least five kinds of flowers.

A terrifying demonic pressure emanated from his body.

Zeno Smith's gaze was indifferent as he looked down at Barbara Wayne, who was kneeling on the ground. "The little ones from the Bone Order are getting increasingly fond of telling lame jokes lately."

"He has little skill, but plenty of boasting."

"You're saying my life magic is inferior to your psychic magic?"

"Get out of here right now, considering that your teacher recently did an experiment with me."

Barbara Wayne turned pale. She hadn't expected that a first-ring wizard from the Garden of Four Seasons would be on the wizard ship this time!
Without uttering a word, she turned and transformed into a cloud of black mist, fleeing in a sorry state.

At the same time, many wizards within the black mist also chose to retreat.

"Master Jarvis!" shouted. "Lord Zeno Smith, they've kidnapped at least thirty percent of the wizarding apprentices. Should we give chase?"

Zeno Smith didn't care much about these things. "Thirty percent? Hmm, that's good."

"It's 10% less than I expected."

"Let those dark wizards go. If they gain nothing, they'll start wars elsewhere."

He glanced at the mandela vine on Locke's right hand, then turned and disappeared from the deck.

Jarvis hesitated, but in the end, he stood on the deck and said nothing.

He coldly addressed the frightened aspiring wizards on deck, saying, "Consider this your trial."

"The black wizards in the southeast corner region often wage war against our white wizards."

"Now that you've encountered them ahead of time, you can learn from them how to fight those dark wizards in the future."

Afterwards, Locke and Lauen sat on the deck to rest, both breathing heavily, still recovering from the life-or-death crisis they had just experienced.

After a long while, Locke and Laun smiled at each other, and Laun gave Locke a bear hug.

Having survived this life-or-death crisis, Locke and Laun's relationship has actually deepened.

Laun seemed to regard him as a reliable comrade-in-arms.

Holding the broken enchanted weapon, Raun said to Locke, "That scared me to death. I thought I was going to be forced to become a dark wizard."

Locke looked at his sword and said, "But your enchanted item is unusable, isn't it? That's such a waste."

Laun said indifferently, "There's nothing we can do about it. Life is more important. Once we join the wizarding organization, we'll find a way to break the seal."

Locke nodded and said to Lauen, "I'm going to look for my friends and see if they're still on this ship."

Hopefully, Patty and Cord weren't taken away by the dark wizards.

Laun said, "I'll go look for him too. I just saw a wizard apprentice, also from the continent of Schleswig, being taken away by those despicable black wizards."

"I feel so sorry for my friend."

"He's so unlucky."

Locke glanced at Laun. He figured Laun was probably feeling sorry for his old friend, but the next time they met, one would be a dark wizard and the other a white wizard.

That's the enemy.

Locke quickly searched the deck and soon found the still-shaken Codd and Patty.

The two seemed to have escaped capture by the dark wizards because they lacked an affinity for negative energy particles.

Locke offered a few words of comfort to the two, then stared blankly at the spot where the official wizard of the Four Seasons Garden had disappeared. After this crisis, Locke's desire for more powerful magic had become even stronger.

The image of that person, who suppressed all the dark wizards upon their appearance, was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Is this the power of a formal wizard?
I want to have it myself!
