Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 859 The Second World Leaf and the God-King's Plea for Help

Above the near-Earth orbit in the void, Locke did not immediately send the three wizards he had chosen into the Three Hole Plane. Instead, he first tentatively launched a small detector, a carpet-shaped magic carpet, from the Explorer Vanguard into the Three Hole Plane.

The ten formal wizards behind Locke began chanting spells in unison, and as they chanted, the control wand in the cockpit emitted magical light.

The magic carpet, which resembled a mosaic painting, began to continuously combine and adjust the principles of the planes. Then, after approaching the principles of the three-hole world, the magic carpet rushed into the crystal wall system without being recognized or resisted by the world power of this world.

The magic carpet entered that world directly, but the next moment, a fire arrow struck the magic carpet, and in an instant, the magic carpet was covered in flames. However, after a layer of enchanted defensive magic array on the surface of the magic carpet shone with a magical radiance, these flames gradually died down.

But the magic carpet only has some charred black spots on the surface.

Even if the entire world's Fire Principle were to target this first-ring crystallized magic carpet, it would be unable to destroy it.

The fire giant looked up as the magic carpet descended from the sky, attempting to approach the crater.

However, above the craters and the land within them, there is another layer of sky, which is the domain of the god-king of this three-planet.

The next moment, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky with a 'bang,' as if the entire dimensional laws of the world were attacking the magic carpet, and the entire magic carpet suddenly shattered.

As the manipulators behind the magic carpet, the ten formal wizards' expressions changed slightly, as they felt the entire plane's principles of the Three Caverns were impacting them.

Locke, however, remained calm.

"It seems that those giants in this plane who call themselves 'gods' have already made defensive preparations after discovering our Void Cube last time."

The old pirate Henry commented, "It's not bad that we were able to construct a defensive system within the crystal wall. That fire giant's magic pressure is 16000, but unfortunately, he doesn't have any means to improve his energy efficiency. He has a size advantage against a first-ring wizard, but he's nothing in front of the three of us."

"But the magical pressure in that sky realm is almost 19999, which is almost the limit of a normal second-ring magical pressure. This world is really special. It is only a medium-sized plane, but it actually has two and a half upper planes and such powerful natives."

"With that sky domain covering the mortal realm blocking our way, it's difficult to send people to land. Anything we put in will be destroyed by that domain, and the three of us and the void warship, due to the excessive amount of magic pressure, cannot directly enter this medium-sized plane without a ritual summoning."

Hussein said, "First, let the three wizards who go down find the native mortals, establish the ritual, and summon us down. Summoning our holy incarnation will also work."

Old Henry looked at him and said, "But the premise is that we can safely send people down. Otherwise, it's like facing a tortoise shell, impossible to crack."

The three wizards who had been chosen by Locke to enter the Three Cave Dimensions ahead of time looked at each other, their faces showing difficulty.

They only had a few experiences following the second-ring archmage on void explorations, and this was their first time landing on a void plane. They had no idea how dangerous it was before, but now, seeing the magic carpet that had been blasted into a fireball by lightning from the native world's sky, they all began to feel fear.

Even crystallized magical artifacts could be struck by that lightning and turned into fireballs. If it were to fall on wizards like them who were in the vaporization stage, wouldn't they be in big trouble?

Moreover, once they entered that world, the three great wizards, including Locke, could not force their way in; to do so would require a direct confrontation with the world's original entity.

Even if the three of them manage to land successfully, they will face a situation of isolation and helplessness.

The enemy will relentlessly attack them.

Those enemies can invoke the principles of the entire world's planes.

These crystallizing wizards will eventually be worn down and killed.

Ida the witch used pendulum divination to predict the short-term fate of the three men, and said to Locke, "Mr. Augustine, I have divined the deaths of the three of them."

"Although this divination result may not be accurate, it shows the danger of sending people down directly."

The three wizards' expressions changed slightly.

The old pirate Henry said with dissatisfaction, "You are all formal wizards. If you like doing things without danger, why don't you go and retire to the lower-level wizarding area?"

“Void exploration has always been very dangerous, especially in worlds that wizards have never set foot in and that show clear signs of being modified by other civilizations. Danger is inevitable, but as wizards, it is only natural to find solutions to problems amidst danger.”

Ida the Witch snorted coldly. She had a strong prejudice against this old black wizard, but since he was a second-circle archmage, she didn't dare to say anything to his face.

The three illusionists all looked at Locke.

At this moment, Locke, as the leader of this organization and the highest-ranking person on this void warship, represented the highest commander among those from the wizarding civilization who came here.

He has to make a decision.

Every day spent in this near-Earth orbit in the void consumes resources and energy. If no progress is made for an extended period, it is necessary to return to Earth to obtain sufficient resources before returning again.

All the initial investment went down the drain.

The reason why the wizard Jugglus Juggler went bankrupt during his exploration of the void was precisely this.

Fortunately, Locke wasn't without experience entering other worlds.

Locke recalled his experiences from the three previous world wars and the Silent Grail, and he quickly concluded that either the mortals of this world were summoning their saintly avatars to descend, or this world was summoning them to descend.

But in fact, the moment the magic carpet was tentatively launched, the world's attitude was revealed: the world seemed to be completely controlled by the twelve giants, and the whole world was in a state of confusion. The attitude of the twelve giants had actually become the attitude of the world.

Therefore, before they could find a way to invest their power and truly connect with the world's will, they had to face the fact that the entire world rejected them under the will of those giant kings.

Hussein placed his palm on the control wand and immediately manipulated the void spaceship to throw a black rod magic artifact downwards. It was wrapped with a vampire conversion blood curse, and once inside, it could attempt to make vampires appear in the three cave planes.

However, the black magic weapon was shattered by a bolt of divine lightning as soon as it entered the sky, and the curse was also removed.

Not only that, the dimensional principles of the entire Three-Dungeon Plane further excluded them.

Seeing Locke looking at him, Hussein knew he had made a rare mistake and coughed.

"I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

Locke said, “The dimensional laws of this world naturally reject magic from the Mind School. Your Vampire Conversion Blood Curse contains too much magic. It is based on the Blood Curse School's curse magic sub-direction, but it also contains Mind School spells. For example, your Vampire Conversion Blood Curse contains the Mind School spell of ‘Claiming Ancestor’.”

"This is the key to how higher-ranking vampires can command lower-ranking vampires. Another is through the use of curse magic to threaten lives."

"Even if you do manage to cast the curse, I think those vampires will be less likely to obey your commands because they lack a 'patriarch' to call them." You can only remotely control them with a weak curse, not to mention the world will further reject us as a result.

Hussein nodded. “This time it was indeed my mistake. I originally wanted to try cursing to see if it could quickly solve the problem. But I just sensed the rejection from the entire world, so if I'm going to curse, I can only curse the entire world.”

Hussein is in a bit of a bind now.

He has two major experiences in dealing with people. The first is what he learned at the Blood Curse Court: to curse others whenever he has a spare moment.

The second major lesson I learned was at Mithril Law Firm: to check whether others were breaking the law.

Now, the three planes, as a whole, reject his curse and have no laws to speak of.

He had a momentary sense of bewilderment.

Locke closed his eyes and entered an advanced meditation technique, sinking into a deep meditative state. He intended to use this technique to integrate his consciousness with the characteristics of the Force Flood, and then communicate directly with the entire world through the Force Flood.

Before developing a dimension, you need to communicate with others.

According to the principles of the wizard civilization, it is not necessary for the wizard civilization to conquer this plane; there are many ways to obtain resources.

Only during the Great Void exploration era did wizards go out and conquer, but in the modern magical age, wizards often just want the Worldstone or some other specific resource from the plane.

Therefore, this can be achieved entirely through business transactions and other similar activities.

Often, cooperation can be mutually beneficial. However, Locke had little expectation for the effectiveness of communication at this moment, because this plane was clearly not right.

At this moment, Locke's consciousness merged into the Force surge, then attempted to resonate with the entire world in front of him, and searched for the suppressed world consciousness.

The next moment, Locke seemed to see a lush mountain range, radiant with divine light and auspicious clouds, full of a harmonious and natural atmosphere.

Locke was somewhat taken aback, because he had not expected that this plane would look like this in a meditative state.

On this crater sat a giant king, his eyes gleaming with excitement the moment he saw Locke. "Guardian of Nature, you have finally come."

Locke looked at him in surprise.

Behind the throne of this giant king, there was a tree, lush and green, nothing special, but what made Locke's pupils shrink suddenly was that there was a leaf of the World Tree on that tree.

The reason I could recognize it as a World Leaf was because I possessed a World Leaf and used it as the core to construct a vast magic.

And on the tree behind the King of Giants, there was also a leaf of the World Tree hanging.

The King of Giants suddenly spoke to Locke: "Guardian of Nature, this is the first time in ten thousand years that we have been able to communicate with you as the embodiment of nature. After you poured your power into our world, I sensed you and immediately focused my power on the Rubik's Cube you threw at me, sending you a distress signal. Did you receive it?"

Locke remained expressionless, calmly observing the King of Giants in a deep meditative state, unsure whether it was a trap.

'A distress signal?'

Locke spoke up: "This being from the Three-Dimensional Realm, you said you gave me a distress signal? Then why did your distress signal suddenly attack me?"

The giant king, who was sitting on the huge throne, changed his expression drastically upon hearing Locke's words. He tried to stand up and say something.

"Attack you?"

"No, there's a mistake, a complete mistake. Nature guardians, help us, we need help."

"Our world has invaders."

"If that signal attacked you, then didn't you come here to help us?"

The King of Giants looked astonished.

He tried to stand up from the throne, but the next moment, many stone chains suddenly appeared on the throne.

The king of giants roared, "No!"

The next moment, in this deep meditation, the whole world spun around. The mountains that were originally full of peaceful atmosphere suddenly became barren and desolate. The sky seemed to have undergone some kind of change, and one eye after another fell from the sky.

A giant eye appeared in the sky, its pupil filled with indifference.

"Outsiders, what do you want to do in this world?"

Locke frowned. He had previously tried to communicate directly with the world's will in a state of deep meditation, but he was unable to find the world's will of the three planes and could only communicate with the god-king of this world.

But then the God-King suddenly asked him for help.

But in the midst of his communication with the world, this strange thing suddenly appeared.

What is this?
Locke remained calm and decided to complete the process anyway.

"We are wizards from the Wizarding World, and we wish to complete a commercial transaction with your world. We want to access the World Tree leaf of this world and explore its mysteries. In exchange, we will elevate your world's civilization and provide you with the corresponding things you desire."

"Would you like to complete this transaction? Completing it would be very beneficial for you."

The pupil among the countless eyes in the sky suddenly revealed malice; it was the bullying and cowardly emotion that awakened immediately after sensing Locke's goodwill.

Its initial bluster vanished instantly.

"I do not need."

"This world doesn't need civilization advancement; maintaining the status quo is perfectly fine. Leave our world immediately, or my methods are far more numerous than you can imagine. I will wipe you all out."

"Wizards, it's not like I haven't had contact with you before. Heh..."

"Get out of here. No, before you leave, leave some of your resources behind..."

Locke's expression remained unchanged.

"So, this is a declaration of war?"

The pupil in the sky was immediately taken aback.

"what?"

Locke said, "I understand. I accept your declaration of war against our wizarding civilization."

"But I warn you, I never fail."

The pupil of the eye in the center of the sky suddenly shrank, as if it had misjudged something.

The other party is by no means an easy-going, kind person!
The next moment, Locke left deep meditation and severed his connection with that world.

Locke looked down at the three planes, then at Old Henry and Hussein, and said, "The waters of this world run deeper than I thought."

If the giant king's back really is a leaf of the world, then the giants of this world originally obtained their power through the gifts of nature.

But why have they ended up in this situation?

Why would the God King ask me for help? What kind of thing is that giant eye that suddenly entered my communication with the world?

Locke looked at the three wizards at the vaporization stage and said, "Let's proceed according to the original plan. You three are all experts in the illusion school."

"These are branches of three red holly saplings. Red holly saplings don't have high requirements for their environment. After you land, immediately choose a safe area and plant them."

Locke looked at a crystallizing wizard from the Protection School.

"That's why I invited you, an expert in the School of Protection, earlier. You will create three sealing scrolls, and when we three wizards land, plant trees, and encounter mortal danger, you will immediately seal us all in place."

"This will protect your lives. At the same time, we can lift the seal at any time depending on the situation. There is a lot of flexibility."

The eyes of the three wizards at the vaporization stage lit up.

They thought Locke's idea was excellent.

In this way, they can complete their mission, bring magic into that world, have a certain level of safety, and break the seal at any time, allowing them to resume activities in that world as needed.

Old Henry's eyes lit up slightly.

"good idea."
