Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 953 The Expectations of the Starfield Sea, A World in Great Chaos!
The dragon wizard took a step back, realizing that when he ascended Mount Golden Crown, the witch Catherine had placed a spell on him without his knowledge.

"No. There's still a problem with your statement."

The dragon wizard shook the tortoise shell one last time, and a crack appeared on it. "So that's how it is. I finally understand your whole plan. So that's how it is."

"you……"

An arrow shot out from the heart-shaped mark on Locke's forehead, piercing the dragon wizard's heart. But at that moment, at the foot of Golden Crown Mountain, the dragon wizard's other half also had its heart-shaped mark appear on its body. The arrow pierced through its enormous magical clone and then struck the heart of that half of its body.

The Victorian witch who fought him removed a hair clip from her hair that looked like it was made of glass.

"Crown magic..."

In an instant, the crown magic enveloped the Golden Crown Mountain region. At that moment, all alchemists specializing in optical alchemy felt their magic being suppressed. The next moment, the bronze mirror-shaped hairpin suddenly grew larger, becoming as tall as a person, and shone a blinding light towards the half-body of the dragon wizard who had been struck by the Peach Arch Thorn Arrow.

The dragon wizard let out a miserable scream.

In that instant, his enormous magical clone collapsed and disappeared, while half of his body was also severely injured.

Because the Heart Curse was still working on him, he was unable to directly contact the headquarters of the Black Sun Tower, or even its branch in this era, and was unable to report the situation back.

The Dragon Wizard felt his power waning; the power he had painstakingly accumulated through the crystallized magical plant was now all being lost.

The lack of a sacrificial environment in this era was like a fish out of water for him.

Every moment here is just a drain on him.

'I made a fatal mistake; there are simply too many powerful wizards in this era.'

The dragon wizard pondered, 'It seems I can't kill that brat.'

'However, this half-body was destined to die from the combined attack of the wizards of this era, so in that respect, there's no problem.'

'I can only focus on the main mission the Tower of the Black Sun gave me first. As for that kid, although he narrowly escaped this time thanks to the protection of many powerful figures, as long as he still carries his dragon bloodline and the World Tree Leaf, he will be noticed again.'

Twelve artificial flowers appeared behind the dragon wizard, each with its own unique characteristics. The one at the 0 o'clock position was a crystallized orchid, while the one at the 1 o'clock position was a plastic flower. Each time position corresponded to a unique artificial flower.

The Victoria witch immediately put on a monocle over her left eye. "What is this?"

……

On the first floor of the True Knowledge Institute, in the main conference room, the wizard Trajan was about to kill Master Patrick when suddenly, the wizard Valeria Kenway from the Star Sea intervened to stop him.

Trajan looked incredulously at Valeria, the wizard standing between him and Patrick.

Master Patrick felt as if he had found a savior. "Your Majesty, save me!"

After bowing, the wizard Trajan said incredulously, "Your Majesty, this man has betrayed the Starfield and us."

Valeria Kenway smiled.

"It seems like a betrayal, but does that matter? The Starfield Sea looks at tangible things. Little Trajan, let him go. Even your teacher wouldn't care about his scheming against your junior brother. Although it did happen suddenly, it's still under our control."

“Patrick will certainly handle it, but not now. We'll continue with the Magic Plant Crystallization Technology project. We'll use it to test more wizards. Besides, this technology itself has potential for development; it's not without its own possibilities.”

Trajan the wizard muttered to himself.

"us?"

The High Ring Wizards' schemes were far too complicated.

He doesn't understand at all.

However, Trajan realized that Catherine the Witch was probably also involved.

The wizard from the mysterious heaven looked outside and saw twelve artificial flowers that appeared behind the dragon wizard like a clock before his death.

His face darkened as he looked at the wizard Valeria Kenway: "So this has always been the Starfield's goal? You just want to plunge the world into chaos."

At this moment, the twelve artificial flowers behind the dragon wizard outside the city went in twelve different directions in the eastern region, and his half-body began to disintegrate after losing these twelve artificial flowers.

"Let the grand ceremony begin, granting freedom to all wizards under heaven..."

“Bring these flowers to the wizards who need help.”

The dragon wizard's half-body shattered completely, and after his half-body shattered, a dragon soul appeared. At this moment, cracks appeared on the dragon soul caused by the Peach Arch Thorn Arrow, and it split in two with a 'crack'. One of the arrows fell into the hand of the witch Yekaterina, who had already left the Ashes of Time with Locke and Edgar.

One of the spells landed on the Rose Witch, who was accompanied by the Rose Witch and the Esther Witch.

The Rose Witch actually came to Mount Golden Crown herself.

She tiptoed, reached out and grabbed the half of the dragon soul, then turned and left without looking back. At this moment, the Rose Throne's face was dark, clearly she was extremely angry.

After all this planning, she only obtained the Ancient Dragon Soul, while her Mother Ring was outmaneuvered by the witch Ekaterina. Although she made a small profit, her competitor earned much more.

Esther the Witch caught up with the Rose Witch, and looking at the Rose Witch's back and her constantly swaying twin ponytails, she said, "Teacher Throne, I didn't know that your avatar would come in person."

The Rose Witch huffed, "Can I not come? The dark spell I left in the Mother Ring for you requires my presence. The half rose I gave you, which is meant to help the wizard of the Black Sun Tower break the Red Dragon Witch's powerful magic, also requires my personal presence. If I'm not there, these spells won't work. But because I went out of my way, she actually noticed my presence."

“That woman, Ekaterina… she’s really despicable. Thinking about it carefully, I still lost out.”

The Rose Witch said, "But she knew the outcome of the prophecy at the time, so even if I didn't cooperate with her, she should have had a way to deal with it. So even if I wanted to refuse to cooperate, I had no other choice."

"Rose, help me vent my anger. Crush those silver-clad peach orchards along the Tianjiang River. I need it as soon as possible, immediately, right now."

Rose the Witch bowed and smiled, saying to her, "Great-Grandma, rest assured, I will definitely make you happy and satisfied."

She helped the Rose Witch into a magical carriage provided by the Rose Council. At that moment, as if remembering something, the Rose Witch lifted her skirt and turned to Esther, saying, "Your mission is complete. You did indeed help me obtain the Ancient Dragon Soul. Esther, I need you to help me recreate a Mother Ring, using your accelerated tree-gathering magic to maximize the growth of tree rings..."

Esther bowed and said, "Yes, teacher." ...

On the first floor of the Golden Crown Mountain True Knowledge Courtyard, after seeing the twelve artificial flowers of the Dragon Wizard fly to various parts of the Eastern Realm, the wizard Valeria Kenway smirked.

What is the most important aspect of the Demon Ascension Plan?

The throne wizard from the Mysterious Heaven looked at him coldly, his gaze icy and even tinged with anger.

But Valeria Kenway seemed oblivious to everything, or perhaps she became even more excited.

"What we need is change, what we need is energy. Where does the energy come from? And where does the change come from? These ancient old guys are always hiding in the corners of this society, thinking about how to cause us trouble every day. If we don't let them make some money and do some work, wouldn't that be too unreasonable?"

"According to the research of the archaeological wizards in the Starfield Sea Academy City, the beginning of the Dark Age was when the Tower of the Black Sun set up a grand ceremony in the world. Twelve artificial flowers flew to all parts of the world and cultivated twelve super geniuses. During the grand ceremony, the magical tide of the entire world showed an increase in the concentration of magical tide."

The throne wizard from the mysterious heavens gave him a cold look.

Valeria Kenway said, “Why should we be afraid of competition? Why should we be afraid of chaos? During the Grand Ceremony, the concentration of magical tides throughout the world will rise by one to three levels from the original level. This is something we have determined after careful research. Ascension requires a great deal of energy. It is difficult to achieve ascension without carefully studying and utilizing every possible energy source in the past.”

"So when we discovered that the people from the Black Sun Tower would come to attack Golden Crown Mountain, we started paying attention to this area. Although some unexpected things happened in the process, the outcome was in line with the interests of our Starfield Sea."

The wizard from the mysterious heaven was absolutely furious.

"Then how are you so sure that the Tower of the Sun will attack this place?"

Valeria Kenway said, "It was calculated using prophetic magic, and the specific reason for the attack is unclear. But the Black Sun Tower has always been operating in secret, just trying to minimize our attention. It's just that this time they've made a particularly big show of it."

"The Red Dragon Witch seems to know something, but when I asked her, she wouldn't say. This matter involves the secrets of Mount Golden Crown itself, and it's not appropriate for me to ask further. Perhaps Mount Golden Crown has something special that would attract the special research of the Tower of the Black Sun."

The throne wizard from the Mystic Heaven asked in bewilderment, "You don't even know the specific reason for the attack? Or rather, is this how your White Wizarding Association operates?"

Valeria Kenway the wizard said, "Why do we need to know so much? If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Will knowing more make any difference?"

"It's normal for the people below to have their own secrets, isn't it? As long as the result is acceptable, that's all that matters. The Star Domain Sea has never been afraid of chaos or competition."

The throne wizard from the Mystic Heaven gave him a cold look.

“This is outside my area of ​​responsibility, so I cannot interfere. I am here as an observer. But I will report on today’s situation as it is.”

"Just don't trap yourselves in your own trap; I really can't understand your behavior."

"Goodbye."

The throne wizard from the mysterious heavens has left this place.

Valeria Kenway frowned.

Clearly, a serious conflict of opinion had occurred between the two.

But this is not because the two people have different opinions; the situation is more serious because the high-ring wizards behind them have different opinions.

Valeria Kenway had no time to deal with him, because the dragon wizard had created twelve lucky individuals before his death, and their Starfield Sea would even utilize this fact. Based on current research into archaeological data, these twelve chosen mortals should all possess very powerful wizarding talents, but for some reason, they would be rejected by the times. In other words, in this era, their talents would be difficult to discover, and they were people abandoned and rejected by this era.

Although the high-ranking wizards in the Starfield Sea found it hard to believe that there were still so many super geniuses in this era whose super talents had not been developed, and they were very skeptical of the research conclusion, it was still worthwhile for them to find those wizards who had obtained the inheritance of the Demon Dragon Wizard and bring them into the primary academy of the Starfield Sea.

This is the way to recruit super geniuses.

This can also be considered as using the grand ritual summoned by the Tower of the Black Sun to select geniuses from the Starfield Sea who may be useful for the Demon Ascension Plan in the future.

Valeria ignored the warning from the Mystic Heaven. It had always been like this: the leaders of the seven districts, the Wizarding Lands, could be warned no matter what they did, except for the Jungle Hand of the Green Steel City, the leader of the Southern District.

Some even speculate that the Hand of the Jungle was fostered by Mystic Heaven to counter the influence of the Holy Master.

Valeria looked around at the mess and sighed.

"Things here are finally over, and I should go now. This special grant... was very interesting. Zeno and Locke are both outstanding talents who deserve special attention."

"Patrick, come back with me for a report."

……

At the foot of Mount Golden Crown, near the Temple of Truth, Locke and Edgar followed the witch Catherine back to Mount Golden Crown. Edgar made an excuse to leave, leaving only Locke and Catherine walking together.

Catherine the Witch sighed.

"You must be thinking about a lot of things right now, right?"

"You must have many questions in your mind. Locke, congratulations. Although your defense for the special grant was suddenly interrupted, an emergency internal review was still conducted just now, and your application was approved by the institute. That means your proposal will be submitted this year."

Locke said, "Teacher, I have many questions, but the important thing is that I am eligible for the top-tier grant. That's enough."

Catherine the Witch glanced back at Locke and nodded.

“You are like me, able to keep things to yourself. When I first wanted to take you as my student, I can tell you clearly that it was indeed because of your dragon bloodline, but that wasn’t the case later.”

"The bond between us as master and disciple can no longer be summed up by the bloodline of the dragon race. Locke, you did very well this time. I read your defense, and you performed exceptionally well, no less than I did back then."

Locke bowed to Catherine the Witch.

"teacher……"

The witch Catherine said, “This time it was indeed very dangerous. It’s not that I couldn’t protect you better, but I’ve always thought that would be a selfish thing to do. When you’re my student, you have to be prepared to stand on your own.”

Locke said, "Teacher, this is what I've always wanted."

The two exchanged a smile, everything understood without a word.
