Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 959 The Largest Rice Market in Yunze Wetlands and Re-entering the Dark World!
Locke smiled at Douglas and said, "Have you been at Golden Crown Mountain for too long? Have you forgotten that you used to hang out at the Black Wizard Academy in Cloud Marsh Wetlands?"

Douglas scratched his head sheepishly. After all, he had been ignorant and mistakenly thought it was some powerful dark wizard academy. But in reality, it was just a dark wizard's hut in an inconspicuous corner on the edge of the mortal realm in the Cloud Marsh Wetlands. Now that he thought about it, most of the so-called wizard apprentices studying in that hut were just ordinary people without any magical power. They weren't real apprentices; they were just servants, test subjects, and toys of the hut's owner—a liquefaction wizard or a crystallization wizard.

However, Douglas was later forced to join the Golden Crown Mountain, so he never had the chance to go back and take a look.

Douglas bowed to Locke and said, "Please enlighten me, sir. I can't say I ever mingled in the black wizard's territory... I was just that black wizard's apprentice slave."

"So I didn't understand what you meant, boss."

Locke paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "This world is a mix of reality and illusion. There are many real things and many illusory things. Although in the end, it still comes down to real ability, as wizards, sometimes we have to create some illusions to achieve our goals. As wizards, we will inevitably encounter many difficulties and obstacles in our pursuit of truth. Some obstacles even exceed our ability to solve them with our hard power, so we have to use some illusions."

“A qualified wizard can usually make reasonable use of and balance the relationship between the real and the virtual, and make the most of what he has.”

Wizard Douglas realized what was going on. "Should we go to the potion shop in the Dragonblood Gathering, the magic item shop, or some shop that specializes in selling magical traps?"

"That's right. Although that Dark Evil King is powerful, we have a very well-developed commercial society behind us, where we can buy many magical items with auxiliary functions that he can't even imagine. Goods from countless worlds in the endless void are being continuously transported into the Dragon Blood Gathering in the Cloud Marsh Wetlands. We're sure to be able to buy something useful to us there."

Locke looked at him with an expression of confidence and nodded, then said, "However, the other party is a native of the third ring level after all, so ordinary traps and illusions are unlikely to work. Therefore, we need to go to the rice market of the Dragonblood Gathering."

Although it's highly likely that if the wizard Latrajen were to come, he could resolve this matter, since he infiltrated the Dark World last time and took away the Heartbreak Flower, which was very important to the Dark Lord, he has extensive experience in dealing with the Dark Lord.

The problem is, if you recruit a high-level wizard into your team, it means that you have to share these treasures with this senior brother.

Wizards are still very close friends; otherwise, even the best of relationships can develop cracks due to an imbalance between input and output, and eventually collapse suddenly.

Therefore, if I were to become the wizard Latura, I would have to share the spoils with him.

But now that I have a way to solve the problem, there's no need to bring in another Sun Ring Wizard who wants the lion's share of the profits. Besides, the other party is very busy, and I might not even be able to get him to help.

Locke's clone took Douglas to the rice market where the Dragonblood Gathering was held.

The largest market in the Dragonblood Gathering, the rice market opened by the wizard Heidegger, who possesses one of the three great magical treasures of Mount Golden Crown, namely [Cloud Field Cloud Rice].

The rice market building inside the Dragon Blood Market is a single-story structure, similar to a vegetable market.

Locke and Douglas went inside and found that the room was filled with shelves, and on the shelves were small squares containing all kinds of magic rice. Moreover, depending on the place of origin, even the same type of magic rice would be placed in different small squares.

There were many basic magic arrays in these small squares, but even so, Locke still saw some magic insects or magic insect eggs mixed in with the magic rice in a few small squares on the edge corners.

There are many kinds of these demonic insects, some of which are even larvae of first-level demonic insects.

Overall, Heideggerme is a place with a very high level of magic, even life-threatening for a wizard apprentice. It is not much safer than a secret realm, because they might be bitten by some kind of magical insect with the ability to disguise itself while they are taking the magic rice from the small compartments.

At this time, there were also many wizards from various colonial worlds and other wizarding lands in this rice market. It should be said that these wizards were the main guests of this rice market.

Because local wizards are likely to prefer buying magic rice from smaller rice shops.

For wizards from outside the region, this massive, comprehensive rice market is even more suitable, saving them a lot of time.

The shop employees in the rice market moved between the various stalls. They were mostly first-level wizards, although most of them were in the vaporization or liquefaction stage, and they were all relatively old. There wasn't a single young person among them.

But they are rarely ordinary first-ring wizards.

After all, this is the largest rice market in Golden Crown Mountain. Being able to work here, even if they can't actually afford to live in rented rooms in Golden Crown Mountain and have to travel daily between Golden Crown Mountain and some relatively remote wizard towns around Golden Crown Mountain with lower prices and cheaper rent, is already a kind of benefit in itself.

Therefore, the majority of wizards here are at the liquefaction stage. Ordinary first-level wizards, due to low competitiveness, or even without connections or good luck, find it difficult to enter this city of Heideggermi.

Wizard Douglas exclaimed in amazement, "I never imagined there would be such a large rice market here..."

He looked into the depths of the rice market, into the area with rows of glass cabinets. Inside the cabinets were various types of magic rice, each with plump, round grains. Some of the magic rice had a tiny red velvet ribbon tied around its center. Wizard managers were explaining the uses of this magic rice to native wizards from various colonial worlds who were coming to the rice market to make purchases.

Douglas saw a minotaur wizard in the crystallization stage, dressed in primitive clothing and carrying a burlap sack on his back. He said gruffly, "How come there are so many weevils in the Red Devil Rice I bought? Isn't this a problem with the quality control of your rice market?"

The witch who greeted him patiently explained, "Sir, please calm down. Those are red rice weevils, a companion insect of red magic. Red rice weevils only have magic power close to that of a third-class wizard apprentice, and they are not poisonous, so it's nothing to worry about. The reason why the red magic rice you bought elsewhere didn't have red rice weevils is probably because they soaked it in some kind of magic potion. But such low-level magic potions, which are harmful to red rice weevils, may not only be difficult to remove completely, but may also cause some harm to the person who consumes them."

"Normally, no rice shop would soak Red Demon Rice in high-grade potions, and even if high-grade potions are targeted, they shouldn't be taken casually..."

"The reason why our Red Devil Rice has red rice weevils is that our rice has not been soaked in low-level magic potions to kill the insects."

The minotaur wizard's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. "Why make it so complicated? Simply put, there are bugs mixed in with your rice, and you don't even have apprentices specifically assigned to pick them out... so you need to lower the price."

The witch quickly waved her hand, and while deliberately feigning anxiety, she secretly opened her eyes and glanced at the minotaur wizard.

In the largest rice market in Yunze Wetland, she receives guests from countless worlds in the endless void every day. Some of them are not even wizards. These people are a mixed bunch; some are genuinely honest, while others are simply looking to take advantage.

The seemingly honest and simple-minded minotaur in front of them was clearly not a truly honest person.

The witch said, "Leaving the worms behind is precisely to prove the quality of our Red Devil Rice."

"Therefore, it is unreasonable to ask us to lower prices. Not only will we not lower prices, but if today's promotion ends, the price will return to normal tomorrow, which means the price will increase."

The minotaur wizard swallowed hard. He came from the minotaur world, a medium-to-large world, and had come today to purchase magic rice for the minotaur world.

Upon hearing that the price would increase tomorrow, he panicked. "Fine, I want fifty tons of Red Devil Rice. I remember Red Devil Rice is sold by the gram, right?"

The witch's eyes lit up; she had landed a huge order. This wizard must be representing their entire world in this procurement effort. To be honest, he could easily collaborate with the specialized purchasing department wizards in the rice market and buy such a large quantity of magic rice at a lower price. She didn't understand why he chose to come to this place where things are sold in small quantities.

However, the witch clearly had no intention of warning him.

This single deal gave her a glimmer of hope that she could become a Crystallization Wizard in the future.

Locke and Douglas walked past her.

Overwhelmed with excitement, the witch looked at Locke and immediately bowed to him.

"Greetings, Lord Star Ring Wizard."

Many wizards in the rice market looked over, and some even bowed to Locke as he walked past them.

Although the rice market is large, most of the customers in this outer area are individual buyers of magic rice. They are either formal wizards or ordinary second-ring wizards, while star-ring wizards are relatively few.

Or rather, Star Ring Wizards are already a relatively rare existence in the Endless Void.

Therefore, very few of the wizards who come to this colony of rice city are of this level.

The minotaur wizard looked up at Locke, his eyes filled with admiration. He knelt on one knee and pounded his chest with his fist. This crystallized minotaur wizard came from a world with only two Star Ring Wizards, so in his eyes, Star Ring Wizards were the most powerful wizards.

The minotaur wizard said fervently to Locke, "Uruk of the minotaur world salutes you, who walks at the forefront of the path of truth."

Locke glanced back at him. "The Minotaur world only recently submitted to the wizarding civilization, right? While Red Demon Rice can enhance the vitality of those who consume it and provide nutrition for newborns in barren regions where sufficient food is scarce, it cannot be given to life forms with berserk talents. This is because the natural magical components within Red Demon Rice will amplify your berserk talents and could potentially cause you to lose control."

"You can try black pearl rice."

The minotaur wizard immediately bowed to Locke again in gratitude and pounded his chest.

"Thank you, Archmage of the Star Ring."

After Locke had walked a little further away, he stood up and glared at the witch, saying, "Why didn't you remind me of this before? If that kind witch hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't even know about it."

The witch frowned and pondered, "Because the Minotaur world is a new world that has recently joined our civilization, I don't know much about the racial bloodline talents of the native wizards of your world. Do you have innate talents for berserk mode?"

The minotaur wizard scratched his head.

"Of course, we didn't have it originally, but after becoming wizards and being baptized by the magical rain, many of us were born with innate magical talent—the berserk bloodline."

The witch immediately tensed up.

She instantly realized that if that were the case, she had almost gotten herself into trouble. If these minotaurs ate the red demon rice she sold them and caused any problems, she would be held accountable and required to provide some compensation. She could easily go bankrupt because of that seemingly cheap deal.

Thinking of this, the witch broke out in a cold sweat and was so frightened that she almost lost her mind.

The witch forced a smile.

"Then you are indeed not suitable to consume large amounts of Red Devil Rice. It's fine for adults, but if children eat this kind of thing, it will cause problems."

The minotaur wizard asked, "Then can you recommend what kind of rice I should buy?"

The witch composed herself. "Then... Black Pearl Rice will do. This is the recommendation of the Star Ring Wizard; it should be the most suitable for your race."

The minotaur wizard snorted coldly.

On the other side, Douglas looked at Locke with some admiration and asked, "Boss, did you already know about the Minotaur world? Otherwise, how did you know that their race has berserk bloodline talents?"

Locke said, "Of course not. I've been very busy lately, and I've only had some free time these past few days. How could I possibly have time to care about the Minotaur world?"

"That was a rough concept I obtained by directly sensing his spiritual energy. Everything has a spiritual energy; every blade of grass, every tree, every flower is a world within a world. These things all have hidden life force. As long as you can sense this hidden life force, you can roughly figure out some basic information about the other party. I just sensed that there was a violent power in that minotaur's life force, and the Red Demon Rice itself has the side effect of making the user sensitive and irritable. If they eat it, I'm afraid something bad will happen."

As Locke passed by, the low-level wizards nodded to him.

Douglas seemed to share in the glory, and his gait became somewhat haughty.

Locke glanced at him, smiled, and said nothing.

The two ventured deep into the heart of the rice market, entering the second ring rice market area. An ordinary second ring old witch greeted them; she looked like an old woman and spoke in a somewhat dry voice.

"What would you like to buy, wizard?"

But as soon as the old witch spoke, she was suddenly startled, because she sensed her boss's magical pressure, the kind of magical pressure that only a third-ring wizard would possess.

That's a demonic pressure comparable to the world's greatest!

Wizard Heidegger walked over, nodded to her, then looked at Locke and said, "Junior Brother, it's quite an honor to have you in my rice market today. Let me greet you. Is this your student?"

Douglas quickly lowered his head.

The person in front of me is a third-ring wizard.

Locke said, "The wizard was assigned to my group by the teacher to lend a hand."

Wizard Heidegger quickly lost interest in Douglas. He had initially thought Locke would bring him along because Douglas was Locke's student, but if not, then the crystallizing wizard was not worth paying attention to.

Although crystallized wizards are rare, having progressed through the four levels of ordinary first ring, vaporization, liquefaction, and crystallization, and possessing the ability to use ritual magic and sign contracts with special planes, new formal wizards are produced in this world every moment, so it is not surprising at all.

Wizard Heidegger quickly put Douglas out of his mind and completely ignored him, instead looking at Locke and asking, "What do you want to buy at my rice market?"

Locke laughed and said, "Second Brother, you have quite a lot of employees at your rice market."

The wizard Heidegger glanced at Locke with surprise.

"It's only about three thousand wizard employees, nothing special."

Locke swallowed hard. As expected of a third-ring wizard, he had more than three thousand employees in just one of his shop alliances.

The wizard Heidegger had a half-smile on his face.

"The combined number of employees at Solas Barefoot and Melochy Magic Step is about the same as the number of employees in my rice market, only slightly less. You dare to challenge both of them at the same time, so why bother with my small rice market?"

Locke said, "Senior brother, please don't make fun of me. I was just young and fearless. I had no idea that there were so many hidden tricks behind the alliance between these two shops, or that the waters behind it would run so deep."

The wizard Heidegger said, "But many things are precisely what young people like you, just entering society, can accomplish."

Locke said, "Senior brother, I would like to buy some seven-colored rice and some cloud rice."

"It should be said that the main purpose was to purchase Yuntian Yunmi rice."

Heidegger estimated for a moment and asked, "How many grains of cloud rice do you want?"

Locke said, "I don't have much money, so I only need thirty-five pills."

Heidegger said, "What level wizard is the other party?"

Locke blinked.

Heidegger sighed.

"It's a cycle of cause and effect. Back then, my junior brother Trajan walked into my rice market in the same way, asking me to buy Yuntian rice. That time, he didn't calculate the quantity correctly and ended up not buying enough, almost losing half his life. As a result, I got a good scolding from my teacher, who said that I was irresponsible to my customers and had no idea what customers were buying rice for."

"As a rice seller, I only thought that people bought rice to eat."

Locke said, "A third-ring level life form, from the Dark World."

Heidegger gasped.

"Third Ring? You'd better save your name here first, and I can help you access the Black Hole Witch's Prison."

Locke said, "Thank you, senior brother."

That's perfect.

Heidegger said, "Those 35 grains of rice are not enough; at least 50 are needed."

“I know what you’re trying to do. But while 35 stones are theoretically possible and could suppress that three-ring life form, you need to leave enough room for maneuver. We need to be flexible in our actions, and even a lion needs to use its full strength to hunt a rabbit. 50 stones would be five million magic stones.”

Heidegger said, "Moreover, I can't guarantee it will be useful, because after all, it's a three-ring level life form, unpredictable and mysterious, and no one knows what kind of abilities it possesses."

"Whether these tricks will work, or even if they do, how long they will last, is uncertain. Moreover, these tricks must be ones that the opponent has never seen before, otherwise your danger will greatly increase, because using the same trick on a third-level being is extremely dangerous."

"The Third Ring Road is something that far exceeds your current imagination."

"Fortunately, the other party is not a third-ring wizard, or a civilization that focuses on the inheritance of civilization and becomes a third-ring life form through acquired efforts. I remember that the third-ring life forms and other beings in the Dark World all became high-ring life forms by means of the power given by the Dark World. Once these guys leave the Dark World, they are just a bunch of mortals."

"That's better."

Wizard Heidegger said to Locke, "There is still one problem. Even if you can use Yunmi to plot against him, he is not a puppet that will let you scheme against him. How do you put Yunmi on him? If you put Yunmi in his hand, he can just cut off his own hand and then regenerate his fingers."

Heidegger, as expected of a third-circle wizard, pointed out a flaw in Locke's plan.

"Never forget that limb regeneration can break your trick."

Locke laughed and said, "Thank you, senior brother, but I have my own way."

Heidegger couldn't help but say, "Why don't you take your senior brother, the wizard Trajan, with you? That guy is a fighter. Although he would probably refuse an invitation from any other wizard, he won't refuse if you invite him."

Locke pondered for a moment and said, "No, I'll handle this myself. Last time, that Dark Evil King caused me a great loss; this time, I'll make him suffer."

Heidegger smiled and said, “Alright. Here are fifty grains of Cloud Field Rice, and a bowl of Seven-Colored Rice.”

Locke was about to reach for it when Heidegger suddenly stepped back.

Locke looked at his senior brother with a strange expression.

"Second Senior Brother?"

Heidegger smiled and said to him, "Give me your name first."

Locke immediately ordered the Black Hole Peach to take his name. A miniature black hole appeared on the ground, and then the black hole sucked away his name's spirit mark. The fact that the spirit mark could condense meant that a large amount of spirit had been drawn from his side, leaving his name's spirit mark empty.

A name is an abstract concept that belongs entirely to a person. Logically, it should not be something that can be taken away. However, the emergence of Linghong studies allows a person's name to interact with real-world objects. Therefore, it is possible to take away a person's name by using Linghong.

Because a name is an abstract concept, but Linghong is a certain substance that actually exists.

Heidegger gave a satisfied smile.

"That's fine. Go now. As long as your name isn't left in the Dark World, even in the most dangerous situation, it's just that this clone of yours won't be able to return."

"That way, the teacher won't blame me for selling Yuntian Yunmi to you. The seven-colored rice has my magic power. You just need to recite the incantation on this piece of paper to summon my magic power, and you can use the seven-colored rice to defend against enemies."

Locke raised the two bowls of rice in his hands and said, "Thank you, Second Senior Brother."

Heidegger watched Locke and Douglas leave, nodded slightly, and then sighed with a sense of helplessness.

"When I first met this wizard, I thought he would be completely different from Trajan, but who knew he and Trajan would get along so well. Oh well, when I was young, my senior brother and I would compete for his affections in front of our teacher every day, and the ridiculous things we did were not much less than these two junior brothers. Why laugh at someone who is only slightly better than us?"

Heidegger shook his head slightly. "Youth is wonderful."

A witch came to his side. She glanced curiously at Locke as he walked away, because she rarely saw her teacher speak so gently to a low-ring wizard.

"Teacher, our rice market has received a large number of orders from the Rose Council, all for Water Cloud Rice. Can we complete the transaction with them?"

A look of doubt flashed across the face of the wizard Heidegger.

"Of course, doing business requires free trade. Since they want to buy, let them buy."

The witch whispered, "Water Cloud Rice is different from other functional magic rice; it's specifically designed to provide food. The Rose Council has always wanted to get involved in the rice market in Cloud Marsh Wetlands. I wonder what kind of scheme they're up to this time."

Wizard Heidegger chuckled and said, "Anyway, the rice market in Yunze Wetlands isn't run by me alone, nor is it something I can or am qualified to consume. It's just that I noticed from the data that despite such a large order, the Rose Council or the Rose Academy hasn't increased its related interdimensional exploration or interdimensional war projects, which is very abnormal. Either they want to hoard grain to drive up prices, or they've found a sucker to resell it at an even higher price."

"Go and investigate whether the Rose Academy has reached a contract with some remote and obscure colony. If so, let's skip this middleman and talk to that colony directly. I would feel a little guilty if it were someone else."

Heidegger said with a smile, "But if it's a wizard from the Rose Throne lineage, then I have no qualms about it."

The witch immediately bowed and said, "Yes, teacher, I will investigate for you as soon as possible. Teacher, I have always wanted to do more work for you and take on greater responsibilities, regarding my promotion..."

Heidegger gave him a cold look. "Let's see how you perform."

……

Locke, along with Douglas and through Trajan's connections, once again secured a half-day's duty to guard the Black Hole Peach. This time, the old wizard seemed rather speechless, his eyes revealing a sense of helplessness. However, he was too embarrassed to say anything and could only leave silently.

Before leaving, he also activated the defensive magic array inside the Black Hole Peach Chamber.

He was clearly somewhat uneasy.

After the old wizard left, Locke drank a bottle of the [Transformation Potion] that he had crafted using 500,000 magic stones, and then drank another bottle of the potion.

"This is a teleportation potion that I specially weakened and formulated for you based on your physical condition. This way, you can drink this second-level potion without too much of a burden. After we enter the treasure land, you will follow my orders."

"Whatever happens, you must trust me and not act on your own without my orders. Can you do that? If you can't, then Douglas, you can leave now."

Douglas, of course, could not give up.

He knew that even if Locke treated him well, if he didn't demonstrate his value in this operation, then according to the principles among wizards, he would have a hard time obtaining much from the treasure.

He now desperately wants to revive the spiritual light of King Lagmamon.

Douglas assured Locke, "Boss, I assure you, I will absolutely obey your orders."

Locke nodded and led him inside.

……

The Dark World, a land of secret treasures, is shrouded in darkness. Everything in this world—plants, earth, and sky—is sealed within the darkness, as if frozen in time.

In this land of hidden treasures, there are many solitary figures, wandering the earth, lost and aimless.

These were the guards that the Dark Evil King had arranged for them to stay here after Locke had entered this treasure land last time.

They are all demons and monsters from the lower realms of darkness, wielding dark power.

At this moment, as a starlight fell from the sky, a star ring suddenly appeared, and countless low-level demons and monsters let out miserable screams. Under Locke's immense magical pressure, the bodies of these demons and monsters began to collapse and explode one by one.

These lowly demons and monsters were terrified.

"The Star Ring... Why isn't it the Second Ring, but the Star Ring..."

"We can't handle Star Ring; he's a dangerous figure from the endless void..."

Under Locke's magical pressure, the body of a tall, thin, demonic figure began to disintegrate. "My body..."

The next moment, it shattered, leaving a spark in its wake.

Locke and Douglas looked at them, and Locke said, "After all, they are dark life forms from the dark world. Their physical structure is actually very fragile. In this world based on darkness, their bodies are actually composed of different echoes of sound."

"Actually, it's very fragile."

A star ring appeared on the ground beneath Locke's left foot. This gold and blue double-layered star ring rapidly expanded across the earth. As the star ring expanded, his magical pressure of 20,000 points appeared across the entire ground.

This is a magical pressure comparable to that of some very small planes.

But Locke is not a plane, but a biological individual, which is a miracle of life.

His total magical pressure is comparable to that of the smallest plane in the endless void.

It should be understood that even the smallest plane has a prime material plane as its core. That is, it is not the kind of plane described by non-Great Void level civilizations. That kind of plane is just a secondary derivative plane attached to a prime material plane, and it is not considered a plane in the eyes of wizards.

In the eyes of wizards, a plane refers to a separate plane that has an independent prime material plane in the Great Void; otherwise, those planes can only be considered comet planes, meteorites, or even void rocks.

At this moment, a colossal figure appeared on the distant horizon of this world. It seemed to be a celestial demon god, standing in the distance, coldly gazing at Locke.

"You dare to enter my territory?"

"This time, I won't let you escape again."

The Dark Evil King's demonic pressure came from afar, like a tidal wave, filled with oppressive force. Locke and Douglas could even hear a sound like drumbeats in their ears, the sound of the Dark Evil King's footsteps approaching.

The Dark Lord had been waiting here for a long time. He knew that these greedy wizards would never give up and would definitely come back to try their luck again. So, ever since the last time, he had been guarding this place, only ordering his army to enter the wizarding world through the darkness to provoke Mount Golden Crown.

Of course, this is actually very difficult.

Because unless someone from the Wizarding World actively opens the gate to the Dark World, even if they could see the Wizarding World through the darkness, they could only see it, not actually go there!

The Dark Evil King's hand did not reach for Locke, but instead reached for a place that did not exist.

"You underestimate me. Although I'm not a wizard, we third-ring life forms are born with the ability to sense spiritual energy, spiritual breath, and spiritual perception—abilities you could never acquire no matter how many years you train or study. You have no idea how vast the gap is between us. I was born with what you would struggle your entire life for. Hahaha..."

The Dark Evil King suddenly stretched out his hand towards an open space, and countless dark forces attacked that open space. At this moment, these dark forces forced Locke out, and Locke was forced to break out of his hiding state.

His eyes seemed to show great surprise, as if he hadn't expected the Dark Evil King to see through the Displacement Potion so easily, as if it were nothing.

This three-ring life form's base stats are incredibly high, not just in strength, but also in all its perception, observation, and senses...

Douglas: "Lord Locke..."

He then realized that Locke beside him was merely a phantom of the spirit. As Locke's spell was broken, the phantom instantly disintegrated, turning into golden phantom leaves that scattered away.

At the same time, Locke used the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow to narrowly escape the Dark Evil King's grasp. He then used the ability to teleport and create a Linghong clone in an attempt to deceive the Dark Evil King, but the Dark Evil King saw through it all.

The Dark Lord mocked. "How ugly, wizard."

At this moment, the demons and monsters hidden in the darkness, as well as the audience of the Dark World, secretly observed and left a row of eyes in the sky. Then, they all let out satisfied smirks. They were very pleased with the performance of the Dark Great Evil King, because the Dark Great Evil King had not performed for many years.

Who knew that so many performances would be staged in such a short time, giving them a real treat for their eyes.

Locke said to Douglas over there, "Douglas, I made a mistake! Quickly take the [Retreat Potion] to open a dimensional portal and leave this place!"

"Our plan failed."

The Dark Evil King exclaimed "Ah!" because the Retreat Potion was a very famous third-circle potion. After taking it, one could leave that plane unconditionally. It was the most difficult to refine among the third-circle potions, but that was why it was so famous in the endless void.

Although the Dark Great Evil King was kept in the dark world with limited access to information, he had still heard of the [Retreat Potion].

At this moment, the Dark Lord's eyes revealed fury and greed, because he had always wanted to find a way to directly enter the wizarding world, but he was troubled by the fact that no one could summon him, and even if he were summoned, the Dark Gate was too small to allow such a powerful demon as him to enter.

"The Retreat Potion, a good stuff, it's mine now."

At this moment, Locke emerged from the gap in the Dark Evil King's hand, drank the potion in his hand, and then disappeared completely.

Ling Hong vanished!

The Dark Lord let out a cry of "Ah!" and flew into a rage. He turned to look at Douglas and saw that Douglas had already opened the bottle of potion in his hand and was about to drink it and leave this world.

The next moment, the Dark Evil King reached out his hand towards the crystallized wizard, and then six dark javelins flew towards Douglas. Under the shadow of these dark javelins, Douglas felt his body moving slower and slower, and the Dark Evil King took the opportunity to snatch the potion.

He immediately grabbed a novice-level demon to experiment on, feeding it a drop of magic potion. The next moment, the demon swayed unsteadily, and his spiritual energy began to dissipate, heading towards another world.

"It really is a potion that helps you retreat."

The Dark Evil King was greatly encouraged.

"That way I can enter the wizarding world!"

Countless spectators in the Dark World began to applaud him, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, but at the same time, they were also looking forward to an even more exciting performance, because the Dark Lord had obtained the Retreat Potion and could now directly invade the Wizarding World!

Pulling the wizarding world into eternal darkness!

The Dark Lord tilted his head back and drank the entire bottle of potion.

goo go go go...

At this moment, Douglas, who was originally controlled by the six dark javelins, suddenly had a star ring appear beneath his feet. As the star ring appeared, the dark javelins were deflected and fell into the distance.

Locke used all his strength to barely break the spell that the Dark Lord had casually used to restrict first-level wizards.

At this moment, Locke's face, which was exactly the same as Douglas's, returned to its original appearance.

Locke said, “Dark Lord, you are a third-ring life form. From birth, you possessed perception far exceeding that of mortals. For you, all spiritual energy and spiritual energy are transparent. This is your absolute advantage, but it also makes you insensitive to normal optical reactions and changes in magical pressure. You are different from us wizards who start from scratch. This trick of mine won't fool a Sun Ring wizard, but it can fool you. Do you know that a bottle of first-ring potion, if I slightly modify the formula and add a drop of Moon Horse Tear, can enhance its effect, and then transform my appearance into that of a Crystallized Wizard, and I can actively modify my magical pressure to only release the magical pressure of a first-ring wizard?”

"Of course, this is not clever. Any second-circle wizard would quickly notice my abnormality. But you are too used to observing the world through your perception of Ling Hong. That is a very high level of vision, which I cannot master now, or even in the next few years."

"But you, who value Linghong Vision so much, forgot that I can attach other people's Linghong to my body."

Similarly, a second-circle wizard would judge who this person is based on a comprehensive assessment.

“But you are different. You rely too much on Ling Hong. You can see Ling Hong directly and see through all the Ling Hong hidden by the teleportation. So this is a scam based on the fact that only you can clearly see the hidden Ling Hong.”

The Dark Evil King was stunned. He was about to fly into a rage, but the next moment he felt his body become incredibly heavy.

Because he had just drunk fifty Yuntian Yunmi rice.

That kind of sealed rice can only be supported by botanical root systems!

So he's currently being suppressed by Yuntian Yunmi.

Originally, the Dark Evil King could have escaped Yunmi's suppression by regenerating severed limbs, but Locke deliberately tricked him into drinking it in order to prevent him from using this trick.

At this moment, Douglas received Locke's order through the Water Hyacinth System. He immediately entered the Treasure Land and took the token to that secret realm.

He has to be quick.

Because no one knows how long Yuntian and Yunmi can outwit the Dark Evil King, and such a thing can only be done by surprise once.

It won't work the second time.

Furthermore, the Dark Lord will be more vigilant at that time, making him harder to ambush.

At this moment, the Dark Evil King was furious and suddenly raised his fist.

"hateful."

next moment.

Locke threw a bowl of seven-colored rice at him. The seven colors of rice landed at his feet, and as Locke chanted a spell, the seven-colored rice circled around him three times, turning into a protective circle!

After adding another seal, Locke turned and ran towards the ruins. He wanted to grab the treasure as quickly as possible and then disappear before the Dark Lord, who had been bewildered by the series of traps, could fully recover and unleash his power to vent his emotions!
The Dark Evil King is furious.

"fraud!"

"How dare you lie to me! You are a thousand times more hateful than that wizard!"

The Dark Evil King never expected that he would be tricked by Locke and actually drink the potion that was deliberately made to show signs that Ling Hong would dissipate and enter another world.

Of course, this is also his fault for being too greedy.
