Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems
Chapter 397: The Key to Advancing to Second Circle?
Locke looked at Grand Wizard Sulla before him, not understanding why he was so obsessed and concerned about whether the natives of this plane could release a true First Circle magic.
If the Mage Saints in this plane's mage system corresponded to First Circle wizards, did the so-called Mage Gods correspond to Second Circle wizards?
So was this related to advancing to Second Circle?
Locke pondered for a moment and sincerely asked, "Grand Wizard Sulla, I'm a potion master you invited over. Although your appeal now is no longer treating illness, being able to solve your problem is still good."
"I just want to know, is what you're doing in this world in order to break through to become a Second Circle wizard?"
Combining all of Grand Wizard Sulla's previous behaviors and his current promises to himself, Locke could only think that the other party wanted to advance and break through to become a Second Circle wizard. Only then would he make such a huge detour, deceiving everyone, even including his closest Alicia, all to avoid any interference when advancing to Second Circle wizard.
But from the current looks of it, in Grand Wizard Sulla's nearly five hundred years of life, he had offended many people. Among them was at least one Divination School black wizard who had set his sights on this place and even drew him into the game.
Grand Wizard Sulla's gaze flickered. "Mm, you're very clever. Indeed, the Mage God here corresponds to Second Circle wizards of the wizard world."
"Everything I've done here is also prepared for advancing to Second Circle wizard."
"Alicia, I'm sorry. To make those old fellows all believe this, I could only choose to deceive even you, even putting you in danger." A trace of heartache flashed through Grand Wizard Sulla's eyes. "During the days I wasn't there, you must have been very upset. What makes me feel fortunate is that during the days I wasn't by your side, you also did very well."
"You've truly grown up."
Alicia shook her head, somewhat emotional. "Grandfather, as long as you're alright, I'm very happy. You're the backbone of the Land of Six Towers. Without you, I truly don't know what would happen to the Land of Six Towers."
Alicia said, "So grandfather, you were preparing to break through to Second Circle wizard. But grandfather, do you have an advanced meditation method? Don't our Plutarch family and the entire Land of Six Towers lack advanced meditation methods?"
Alicia said in confusion, "Moreover, why did you teach these world natives magic? Is this for advancing to Second Circle?"
"What relationship could there be?"
Locke asked, "Grand Wizard Sulla, is that Mage Saint Hall city behind you prepared for advancing to Second Circle? If possible, I'd also like to hear you explain this knowledge. You also know that for every wizard, being able to obtain knowledge about becoming a Second Circle wizard is extremely important."
"As a trade, I can also tell you my hypothesized method for letting this world's natives use First Circle magic."
Grand Wizard Sulla smiled. "Questions must be answered one at a time."
He looked at Alicia. "Advanced meditation method knowledge has always had quite high confidentiality levels, always monopolized by the association and major wizard organizations that already possess them."
"Only by going to wizard organizations with advanced meditation methods and obtaining corresponding level teaching positions is it possible to obtain advanced meditation methods. But our Land of Six Towers isn't without advanced meditation methods. We just don't have written meditation methods."
Facing the confused gazes of Locke and Alicia, Grand Wizard Sulla's right palm faced up. In his hand condensed a scorpion model composed of bloodline factors. That scorpion model rotated in his palm.
Grand Wizard Sulla said, "The Scorpion Woman bloodline our Plutarch family uses itself conceals an advanced meditation method. Or rather, bloodline refiners prefer to store advanced meditation method information in magical creatures' bloodline essence, storing information through the arrangement, combination, and structural shape of those bloodline factors."
"So our Plutarch family's original Scorpion Woman bloodline is a living advanced meditation method."
"However, unfortunately, the original Scorpion Woman bloodline was created by our Plutarch family's Second Circle wizard ancestor in the Land of Six Towers. The original Scorpion Woman bloodline can only be used by Plutarch family wizards." Grand Wizard Sulla glanced at Locke and explained in detail, "Wizards without Plutarch family bloodline, even if they forcibly use it, it's useless. They can neither gain the Scorpion Woman bloodline's power nor use the advanced meditation method information contained in the original Scorpion Woman bloodline." ππ£ππ²π°πππ§π π§ππ.πππΊ
"Because part of the necessary bloodline factor information in the original Scorpion Woman bloodline isn't in itself, but in Plutarch family wizards' bodies."
"However, even Plutarch family wizards who can use the Scorpion Woman bloodline need to be pureblooded and need to have certain talent." Grand Wizard Sulla sighed. "Among the Plutarch family, among current descendants, only you, Alicia, possess the qualifications to use the original Scorpion Woman bloodline."
"This is also one of the reasons I value you."
"Alicia, your talent is the best among Plutarch family wizards in a hundred years. You have the potential to become a Second Circle wizard. This potential is even greater than mine. By the way, didn't you want to study outside and learn potion studies?" Grand Wizard Sulla smiled. "So at that time, I thought of faking illness. This way I could kill two birds with one stone, conveniently letting you study potion studies well outside for a few years before returning to inherit our family business."
Grand Wizard Sulla instructed, "In my view, you just have no interest in Enchantment School magic. Otherwise, you would still have great talent in this field, just not as much as your talent in potion studies."
Alicia was stunned, then nodded. She herself hadn't expected that under her grandfather's arrangements, her future path could actually lead directly to Second Circle wizard.
Locke glanced at Alicia and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Alicia was indeed the darling of the Plutarch family of the Land of Six Towers.
The path she walked from birth led directly to Second Circle.
From birth, she could possess an advanced meditation method, even have a grandfather prepare a medium-scale world for her, making all kinds of arrangements for her.
Unlike himself, who still needed to search for his own advanced meditation method. And even now, he hadn't figured out why developing this medium-scale world was related to Second Circle wizards.
'The ultimate goal of wizards in the bloodline modification sub-direction of Enchantment School bloodlines is actually to create a magic that can stably transmit specific talents to descendants without limiting the upper limit. Like the Land of Six Towers' becoming formal wizards through active semi-elementalization modification is actually a failed attempt.'
Locke thought, 'Land of Six Towers wizards desperately want to find a bloodline modification technique that can completely bind talent with bloodline.'
'That way, their family wizards could completely solidify their status. Generation after generation, class forever fixed.'
'Unfortunately, after so many years, there's no hope. It seems they've given up. In any case, Land of Six Towers wizards currently don't research much. More likely, bad currency continuously eliminates good currency, causing their wizards to completely lose the ability to conduct relatively long-term scientific research plans.'
'Otherwise, even if they researched it, it would actually be good.' Locke thought, 'Because the results might not be as good as they envisioned.'
'Class might not be fixed but might instead become looser. The impact brought by each technological advancement is unpredictable to anyone.'
'The appearance of that kind of technology means, masses of mortals could also use this technology to gain the possibility of using magic, even if only the lowest level talent.'
'White wizard society is so complex. As long as there's this kind of technology, there will be a large group of wizards motivated to improve this technology and promote it to all mortals.'
'However, researching that kind of technology is probably very difficult, probably as difficult as botany wizards wanting to create a perfect ecology.'
'It's one of the ultimate goals of bloodline studies.'
Grand Wizard Sulla looked at Locke. "However, this Mage Saint Hall city behind me is unrelated to whether I can advance to Second Circle wizard."
Locke was stunned.
Grand Wizard Sulla smiled kindly. "How could advancing to Second Circle wizard be related to some world? Wouldn't that be very strange?"
"It's just that advancing to Second Circle wizard requires massive resources. These resources are extremely difficult to find in the wizard world homeland. Collecting them in this kind of plane is more convenient. But actually, there's nothing special."
"This Mage Saint Hall city is just a base I use to collect resources."
"I need quite a few people to help me excavate resources, so I supported some natives, had these natives actively offer resources from all over the world to me, and built a Mage Saint Hall city here as a place to store resources. Look, doesn't this city still have a steady stream of magic materials being transported here?"
"So to win them over, I gave them spellcasting abilities."
"That's all." Grand Wizard Sulla smiled kindly. "Moreover, I still need some mages to help me process primary magic materials, just like what wizard apprentices do in academies, having apprentices support mentors."
"Therefore, I gave them the ability to use magic. As for their other understandings, those are all their own speculation, not from my instruction."
Locke looked at Grand Wizard Sulla. What Grand Wizard Sulla said was watertight. It seemed everything could be explained.
Grand Wizard Sulla didn't want to use Plutarch family wizards to work here, just to secretly develop this medium-scale world.
But even so, some things still couldn't be explained, or rather were explained very reluctantly.
'He could directly give these natives some magic items. Why spend three hundred years here constructing a mage civilization?' Locke fell into confusion. 'Although everything can be explained with difficulty, there's one problem that can't be explained. With wizards' character of not getting up early without profit, they won't give up doing something with high cost-effectiveness to do something with low cost-effectiveness. Not to mention Grand Wizard Sulla who has held power for many years.'
'This can't be explained. Grand Wizard Sulla is definitely hiding a key point from me. No wonder. The other party is a wizard who has held power for many years. He probably doubts himself several times every morning when he gets up to look in the mirror. Of course, he couldn't possibly tell me his true scheme. Now he just saw part of what I saw, so he could only tell a self-consistent lie.'
Grand Wizard Sulla smiled kindly while imperceptibly glancing at Locke, observing Locke's thoughtful expression.
The expression on Grand Wizard Sulla's face became even more kind. "Why don't you come to Mage Saint Hall city for a visit? That way you two will understand this city's function."
"Moreover, I happen to have some benefits I want to give you. They happen to be some precious resources those natives of this plane transported here from all over the world. Because they can't be preserved in time, if no one uses them, they'll be wasted for nothing."
"Your timing is really perfect.
