Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 180: Super Genius Witch Sophia

Locke blinked his eyes.
Witch Sophia said, "You should have had some interaction with this person. The magical plant curse you've been handling recently is the work of his student, Sephilin Sagamor."
Locke felt his mind couldn't quite keep up. Killing a formal wizard-level black wizard seemed somewhat fantastical to his current self, feeling like something with a very distant gap from him.
Locke said, "Then... then Teacher, are you confident you can kill Rashid Tariel? black wizards have considerably more combat experience than us white wizards."
Witch Sophia said, "Rashid Tariel isn't too bad among formal wizards. His mental power has gasified, he's not an ordinary formal wizard."
"As far as I know, he's been a formal wizard for more than thirty years. In these thirty-plus years, he's had students everywhere, possessing numerous pupils. He also has many research achievements, his strength is not to be underestimated."
Locke couldn't help but worry. "Then Teacher... you..."
Witch Sophia shook her head slightly. "But he's no match for me. I can kill him. As long as I want to kill him, he will die. I'm very certain of this."
"If I can't even kill a formal wizard-level black wizard who's been retiring in a place like the southeastern quadrant for more than thirty years, then I don't need to go to Star Domain Sea."
"Locke, remember what I said. Even if you don't come to Star Domain Sea in the future, you should go to other better places. The southeastern quadrant is very good for first-class wizard apprentices, but for formal wizards, it's not really a good place."
Locke fell into deep thought. Rashid Tariel had been a formal wizard for more than thirty years and was a so-called gasified stage formal wizard. Although he didn't understand what the gasified stage meant, it sounded like more than an ordinary formal wizard.
Yet his teacher, Witch Sophia, had only been a formal wizard for three years. During these three years, she spent most of her time completing academy tasks. Even teaching him was initially just because of academy tasks.
But she was so confident that as long as she wanted to kill Rashid Tariel, Rashid Tariel would definitely die.
At this moment, Locke suddenly realized what he had overlooked. His teacher, Witch Sophia, probably had talent that wasn't at the ordinary Child of Elements level.
Her talent might far exceed his imagination.
'Talent is just the starting point of the magical path.' Only now did Locke realize what this phrase meant.
Even with the same Level 7 talent, some people weren't just highly compatible with certain elemental particles. Their thinking, mindset, and speed of producing results were simply faster than others.
At that point, their talent was no longer limited to the definition of apprentice-level talent.
Locke asked Witch Sophia, "Teacher, do you need me to do anything?"
Witch Sophia nodded. "Smart, you guessed the purpose of my calling you here."
"To kill Rashid Tariel, I need to infiltrate into Blood Curse Court territory. I need some people to come help me. Your mana has been improving rapidly recently, and you could indeed gain some practical combat experience."
"Of course, you can also refuse." Witch Sophia said, "I'm not forcing you. In fact, I would indeed worry about your safety. If you just want to be a purely research-oriented white wizard, then you indeed don't need to learn how to fight."
"I've also asked some of my friends to help me. This includes Albert, the current wizard seed in potion studies direction at Lilith's Cottage, a first-class wizard apprentice."
"Another formal wizard student of Lady Morgana will also help me. And my teacher, Lady Morgana, will create conveniences for our operation in other directions." Witch Sophia looked at Locke, "Moreover, she will also send some first-class wizard apprentice students to act with us."
"The main body of this operation is me. So you will all be relatively safe. Only I will ultimately kill Rashid Tariel."
"You mainly just assist me in first infiltrating Blood Curse Court territory. You can understand this as an infiltration mission similar to those Blood Curse Court wizard apprentices infiltrating our Lilith's Cottage territory."
Sophia asked curiously, "Locke, will you participate?"
Locke hadn't expected that Sophia and Lady Morgana had reconciled. He wondered if he had any part in this. He thought for a while, then said, "Teacher, I'll participate."
"As your student, it wouldn't make sense for me not to participate."
Witch Sophia's lips curved slightly. "The curse technique research facility we're about to attack edly has an important resource storage point inside, which contains large amounts of Tartarus Cave Worm Spinal Fluid."
"If the rumors are true, we might be able to seize a batch of this precious resource. This resource can be distributed among ourselves, and you should need it quite a bit too."
Locke raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that the Tartarus Cave Worm Spinal Fluid he'd been longing for could have such an opportunity to be obtained.
His reasons for choosing to participate were many.
The main one was that Witch Sophia had indeed been very good to him.
Other first-class wizard apprentices were going to help her. As her student, it wouldn't make sense for him not to participate.
Since he enjoyed the benefits, he should bear the corresponding responsibilities.
The second main reason was that this was indeed a rare opportunity for experience.
His teacher wasn't someone who spoke carelessly. If she said she was confident, then she was definitely confident. If she said it was relatively safe, then it would indeed be relatively safe.
He was already a first-class wizard apprentice, not a weak infant who needed protection. At least in terms of staying alive, he still had some confidence.
This operation of breaking into black wizard territory might even allow him to obtain some special spoils of war.
Moreover, this was also a way to collect practical combat data for the defensive magical plants he'd developed targeting the Blood Curse Court.
Witch Sophia said, "The operation is in one month!"
"You can prepare well, preferably preparing some magical items against curse magic."
Witch Sophia thought for a moment, took out a heart-shaped glass bottle containing blue potion from her astral ring, and handed it to Locke, "This is Giant Tree Heart Potion. The main material in the potion formula is the tree heart of a Talmud Treeman. Consider it part of your advance compensation."
Just as Locke was about to speak, Witch Sophia said, "At the same time, this is also the coming-of-age gift I promised to give you earlier."
