Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems

Chapter 449: It Can Be Done Even Better!

Locke and the others began testing work. First, although Hydra was incomparably powerful and could indeed stack permanent defensive fields, creating nine layers of permanent defensive fields with a strength that had reached an incredible level.However, there were still some issues that couldn't be called defects, but rather problems in usage.

After all, it was joint magic jointly cast by nine wizards. It was inherently very complex, and it certainly meant certain spell risks.

That is, during the process of nine wizards simultaneously injecting their own mana and permanent defensive fields into the Hydra magical plant, it was still quite dangerous. If one wizard suddenly interrupted this operation, he would instantly cause energy imbalance in the Hydra vine, resulting in being simultaneously attacked by eight permanent defensive fields, leading to possible instant death.

Secondly, among the nine wizards, there couldn't be excessively weak individuals. Otherwise, if the gap was too large, it would also cause the phenomenon just mentioned.

Of course, strictly speaking, this couldn't be considered Hydra's weakness.

Because this was a basic requirement for using weapons.

Under normal circumstances, a normal First Circle wizard, as long as they didn't deliberately try to sabotage things, couldn't possibly have problems at this stage.

Secondly, Locke also took the initiative to test the limit time for Hydra to stack permanent defensive fields. The limit time was theoretically unlimited, but in practice, its upper limit was Hydra's own pressure-bearing capacity.

When stacked to nine permanent defensive fields, Hydra itself had to bear the energy of nine permanent defensive fields. During this process, enormous heat energy would be generated, meaning the entire Hydra would become hot.

Originally, this was inconsequential because Hydra was a plant and could take root underground, transmitting this heat energy into the ground. But if the nine wizards wanted to move with it, then Hydra overheating could possibly occur.

However, after testing, Locke found the problem wasn't serious because Hydra's overheating situation wasn't very severe. They could even arrange one to three Evocation School weather masters or storm masters among the nine wizards to use ice magic for cooling.

Locke looked at this Hydra magical plant. Multiple subspecies of this magical plant were synthesized by himself using the magic cube, and the adult form had also been synthesized once. Currently, it was an 8th-grade synthesized item.

He still adopted the variegated mutation approach, using specific pigments produced by internal variegated mutations in plants to distinguish the storage leaves corresponding to nine different magical pressures, thereby separating them so that nine types of permanent defensive fields wouldn't interfere with each other inside the Hydra magical plant.

In other words, the common plant pigment mutation, variegated mutation, was the key to maintaining that the permanent defensive fields inside Hydra wouldn't conflict with each other.

Locke handed over the remaining performance testing work to people in his research group. At the same time, he followed Alicia and left the special-grade laboratory.

Just in case, for the next month, people in their research group, besides himself, basically wouldn't leave the laboratory.

After all, the closer to success, the more careful and cautious one needed to be. If they stumbled at this juncture, that would be truly miserable.

In the floating staircase at the central position of the White Dragon Tower, Alicia nodded to Locke, "Congratulations, Locke."

"I didn't expect you could actually complete such a project." Alicia appeared very happy. "So, for the next month, you can finally relax, right?"

"The testing work shouldn't be as tiring as before."

Locke nodded slightly. "There's still one month left. I don't want to waste it. Although Hydra can't be changed any more at this stage, the Rust Bead Flowers parasitizing on Hydra still have room for optimization."

"I can still optimize the Rust Bead Flowers a bit more."

Alicia lowered her head and smiled with pursed lips. "With such a powerful magical plant, do you still need to work so hard?"

Locke shook his head. "A lion uses all its strength even when catching a rabbit."

"Only by being careful can one sail safely for ten thousand years."

Alicia nodded thoughtfully. "That's true. By the way, these are two true bloods I made for you. Since you're not a bloodline studies wizard, your body can hold at most three true bloods made by others for you."

Locke received the two true bloods from Alicia's hands.

Alicia said, "One true blood is Second Berserk Curse, which can burn your bloodline potential a second time. I think this has quite a significant effect for you, so I made it for you, though it's not as good as that true blood my grandfather made."

"The other true blood is Blood Flame commonly used by us bloodline studies wizards. Blood Flame can lock onto the enemy's bloodline spirituality, lock onto the enemy themselves, and can also kill the opponent by burning their bloodline. I think this common universal bloodline spell is also quite suitable for you, so I chose to make this type of true blood for you."

Locke nodded.

Indeed, Alicia's choices for him were quite appropriate.

During this period, he still continuously discussed potion studies with Alicia. Their relationship had progressed further, even surpassing the relationship between ordinary friends.

The two were very compatible.

Locke briefly examined these two true bloods. After confirming there were no problems, he absorbed these two true bloods into his body through skin contact.

Alicia sensed Locke's magical pressure. "You've been so busy, yet your magical pressure improvement speed hasn't slowed down at all. Have you reached seven thousand?"

Locke nodded slightly. "Yes, just reached it yesterday. Originally, the advancement speed wasn't that fast before, but because I've practiced the compression method very proficiently, I can now increase two points of mana in one night."

With the natural force plane pouring into himself, as long as his soul upper limit increased faster, naturally his mana improvement speed could accelerate.

A trace of envy flashed in Alicia's eyes. "At this speed, you're probably only about two years away from becoming a First Circle crystallization wizard, three years at most."

"By the way, I've already found the archaeology inheritance for you."

Locke's gaze sharpened as he looked at Alicia. During this time, he also hadn't given up searching for archaeology inheritance and was inquiring about news in this area every day in markets and various places.

However, archaeology was after all the most mysterious profession on the black wizard side. Finding traces of its inheritance was difficult, so there had been no progress in this area all along.

Locke had even somewhat wanted to give up searching in the Land of Six Towers and wanted to go to other wizard lands, like the Spiral Basin where there were more black wizards, to search.

But unexpectedly, Alicia had actually found it for him.

Alicia said, "I found the person at the Feathered Serpent Pavilion on White Dragon Street. He needs conditions before he can give us the First Circle inheritance of archaeologists, the Tome of the Tombstone."

Locke said, "What conditions?"

Alicia said, "He wants you to sign a highest-level Civilization Curse contract and brew a potion for him. Materials will be prepared by him, and after you see the formula, you cannot brew the potion on this formula yourself."

Locke said, "What potion? I happen to be going to the Feathered Serpent Pavilion to deliver the batch of Hive Mind Potions I brewed earlier."

Alicia said, "It's an Abyssal Werewolf Transformation Potion. It seems to be a type of race transformation potion, not a bloodline modification potion. It can rapidly increase a wizard's mana, but the side effects are severe, requiring race transformation."

"It belongs to the abyssal potion studies field, very difficult to brew. Without using primordial fire, the heat control for that type of race transformation potion is difficult to master."

Locke turned to look at Alicia. "He investigated me? Forget it, otherwise he wouldn't have come seeking to reach this transaction with me. That's fine. You take me to see him."

He wasn't interested in race transformation to begin with.

On the contrary, obtaining this formula would allow him to learn certain things from it, so he was very willing to make this transaction.
