Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 247 Rescuing the Ravenhill Brigade
Inside the Cursed Spell Research Institute, in the Cursed Hall, due to the instability of the Blood Mirror Curse, a large number of buildings were collapsing, and even space itself began to distort due to the shattering of the curse spell.

The dark wizard apprentices who fled here were filled with despair and fear. They could even see that, due to the distortion of space, the body of one of the dark wizard apprentices suddenly swelled up like an image in a convex mirror, and then exploded like a balloon, turning into fragments.

This space is no longer stable.

Worse still, Rashid's death triggered a curse storm that enveloped the entire space. This storm, in a chain reaction with the unstable space, transformed into something else entirely: out-of-control cursed creatures crawled out of the curse storm and indiscriminately attacked all the wizard apprentices.

One after another, dark wizard apprentices perished beneath the fangs and teeth of these out-of-control cursed creatures.

Locke and the others, just as this space was about to completely collapse, ran to the large resource vault and began to frantically collect a wave of spinal fluid from the cave worms in the last moments. They carried away all the spinal fluid and also took a batch of the most precious magical resources, but most of the less precious magical resources could only be wasted here.

Before leaving, Locke used [Wild Grass Entanglement] to reinforce the magic gate to the Great Resource Vault one last time.

Because there are still a lot of magical resources inside this large resource vault, which I shouldn't need in the future, the batch of magical resources I robbed is enough to support me until my mental power reaches 800.

After I go back, I can start trying to develop in the direction of a formal wizard.

But perhaps some wizarding apprentices will come looking for these resources in the future. Anyway, I have a magic map of the research institute, so maybe I can take this magic map to the Chimera Market and sell it in a package.

At the same time, Locke also asked the witch Sophia to rescue the first-ring witch of the Raven's Nest Brigade who was imprisoned by Rashid in the D-sector quarantine area, and to rescue a group of the remaining members of the Raven's Nest Brigade who were also in the D-sector.

Unfortunately, in the midst of his busy schedule, Locke briefly searched for his childhood friend, Codd, but found nothing.

Codd, after all, was not very talented and had likely died in the dark wizard's experiments, so Locke had no choice but to give up the search for him.

Of course, it's also possible that he wasn't captured in the first place, but instead retreated elsewhere with the remaining members of the Ravensong Brigade; that's hard to say.

At this point, they retreated to the Hall of Curses, because the dome of the Hall of Curses was actually the exit of this research institute.

Locke looked at the many dark wizard apprentices in the hall and found Leonie Murphy among them. He was still a man of his word. Since Leonie Murphy had helped him a lot in this operation, even if he didn't need him now, he should at least get him out of there.

Locke pointed at Leonie Murphy and said, "Come out and come with us."

Leonie Murphy's face lit up with ecstasy. He had been worried that Locke would ignore him once he was no longer of any use.

But to Leoni's surprise, not only did this not happen, but Locke even gave him the opportunity to leave together.

Leoni quickly stepped out from the crowd, "Master, I'm here... I'm here..."

Among the dark wizard apprentices, some of the bolder ones actually spoke up and begged.

"Take us with you, esteemed white wizards..."

"White Wizards, we are willing to pledge our allegiance to Lilith's Hut, to forever turn against the Blood Curse Court, and to become White Wizards ourselves. Please take us with you and save us..."

Gabriel chuckled coldly, then said in a low voice, "What a joke. These dark wizard students, if they went to the white wizarding society, would have at least a dozen sins on their hands, and would be immediately imprisoned in a wizarding prison."

Locke looked at the witch Gabriel. The Wizard Prison was a prison established by the White Wizard Association, and it was guarded by wizards, making it an impregnable fortress.

Some people call that prison the 'wizard dump,' where any wizard who does not conform to the values ​​of white wizard society will eventually be thrown into that dump.

Of course, the landfill has a large number of intensive, basic magic processing industries.

Going to the landfill also requires voluntary labor.

At this moment, a starlight appeared at the top of the Hall of Curses. It was the witch Gabriel who used her prophetic magic and the Nibelung astrological system to forcibly open the Mirror Blood Curse space, which had completely gone out of control.

Gabriel the Witch breathed a sigh of relief. "Great! Although this space has lost its balance, the magic lock at the entrance hasn't become unusable due to excessive distortion." "There have been cases before where the magic lock was damaged, causing the space to be permanently sealed off. We're quite lucky."

A glint of arcane light flashed in her eyes; clearly, their current luck was largely due to the intervention of the Witch Gabriel using the magic of the School of Prophecy.

The witch Gabriel was also pale and bloodless from repeatedly using the magic of the School of Prophecy, seemingly due to the great depletion and backlash.

The starlight enveloped Locke and the others, and the next moment, everyone disappeared from the hall.

He left behind a group of howling, wailing dark wizard apprentices.

They watched the white wizards leave the Hall of Curses, their eyes filled with despair.

On the second floor of the Collins City-State Fortress, Locke and his companions stepped out of the mirror, startling the black wizard Nils who had been staying there.

Before Nils could speak, cracks appeared on the magic mirror behind Locke and the others. Then, with a loud crash, the entire mirror shattered, scattering shards all over the ground, leaving a pile of broken glass.

Locke looked at the mirror and asked curiously, "Teacher, after the mirror breaks, will the space of the blood curse in the mirror disappear?"

Sophia the Witch shook her head. "It's possible, but more likely it's a space formed by the Mirror Blood Curse, left behind in some corner of the Mirror World."

"There's so much to say about this. If you're interested, you can go back and buy a few articles to read. There's no time to go into it now."

Sophia the Witch looked at Andy, who was being supported by Albert and Sisyphus, and frowned slightly. "How is Andy?"

Albert shook his head slightly and sighed. "He's been under the curse of the Blood Curse of Fear for too long; Andy's mind has been severely damaged."

At this moment, Andy coughed. His eyes were lifeless, but he still managed to stand up with difficulty. "I...I'm fine. We managed to get a lot of spinal fluid from the cave worms this time. After Albert and I go back, we can try to break through to become formal wizards."

"Once you become a certified wizard... nothing else matters."

Sophia the Witch and Gabriel the Witch frowned slightly; they could both sense that Andy was acting very strangely.

He had spent too much time alone with a high-ranking curse master.

Locke suddenly became serious. "Look up at your heads."

At this moment, everyone looked up and saw countless seven-colored crystal skulls appearing in the sky above the city-state of Corinth.

Sophia the Witch raised an eyebrow. "It's the defense system of the Wall of the Believers."

"They want to block the airspace to prevent us from escaping."

The witch Gabriel said, "There is at least five or more formal wizard-level magical pressures rapidly approaching us."

"Of course, they are quite a distance from here. The research institute is located in a remote area."

The members of the Raven's Nest Brigade, surrounding their Ring Witch, looked fearfully at the crystal skulls in the sky.

Lady Morgana's voice reached everyone's ears. "Don't worry, Sophia is very meticulous. She has already planned the retreat."

"About one minute left."

"Sophia, when did you become acquainted with the Harpy Kingdom?"
