Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 212: I Also Have Someone Behind Me!!

Through the tomb spirit, Locke observed these second-class wizard apprentices conducting curse formula geometric folding work.
Basic curse formulas, through continuous folding and the emergence of new composite structures, could produce various terrifying curse magic.
These second-class wizard apprentices were testing the composite curse formulas designed by first-class wizard apprentices and formal wizard curse masters according to their instructions.
This was one of the main tasks within the Curse Ritual Research Institute.
These second-class wizard apprentices all wore iron collars around their necks, which seemed to be some kind of control device used to control and enslave this group of black wizard apprentices.
Even Leoni Murphy had this iron collar around his neck.
However, in Locke's view, the humiliating nature of these iron collars far exceeded their controlling nature. After all, the Blood Curse Court controlled their own apprentices through curse magic.
Leoni Murphy paused at this moment, his hands stopping, because he felt Locke's mana. But the invisible tomb spirit was so well hidden that no one here noticed a tomb spirit attached to his body.
'Master? It's master!' Waves of shock surged through Leoni Murphy's heart. "But how is this possible? The Curse Ritual Research Institute has six layers of curse barriers. How could master's mana pass through the barriers and still control the contingency on my body?"
"Ordinary white magic can't even be used within the six layers of curse barriers!"
He had no idea that the spell Locke was using was an archaeological spell, Summon Tomb Spirit.
This type of magic, which was considered upper-tier even among black magic, was basically unaffected by these six layers of curse barriers.
Leoni Murphy whispered, "Master, this Curse Ritual Research Institute has six layers of curse barriers inside, and within these six layers of curse barriers, white magic can't be used at all. How did you do it?"
"Could it be that you're using black magic?"
Locke, controlling the invisible tomb spirit, was shocked. He hadn't expected this Curse Ritual Research Institute to have such troublesome defenses.
He wondered if Teacher Sophia knew about these so-called six layers of curse barriers.
If she didn't know, then it was fortunate he had planted a summoned tomb spirit on this second-class wizard apprentice in advance. Otherwise, when the operation began, things would become very troublesome.
Through the summoned tomb spirit, Locke told Leoni Murphy, 'You don't need to worry about that.'
'Rest assured. The black wizards around you will have difficulty discovering the magic I'm using.'
'But if you dare to do things like ing me, I'll immediately activate the contingency on you to kill you.'
Leoni Murphy's left hand trembled. He fearfully whispered, "Master, I would never betray you."
"I know you're the one who helped me get transferred back to the Curse Ritual Research Institute."
"For someone of your power and status, how would I dare offend you?"
Leoni Murphy wasn't stupid. He knew why, less than a month after becoming Locke's spy, he could leave dangerous frontline undercover work and return to the relatively safe Curse Ritual Research Institute in the rear.
In his view, Locke probably had influence even within this Curse Ritual Research Institute.
If he had treacherous thoughts, he'd probably be eliminated before his was even submitted.
As a nobody with no loyalty to the Blood Curse Court, controlled only by curse magic and unable to leave this wizard organization, he naturally had no reason to betray Locke.
Locke spoke to him through the tomb spirit, which was actually direct soul communication that others couldn't hear, "Good, Leoni Murphy. As long as you obey me well, not only will you not die, you might even thrive in the Blood Curse Court."
"Leoni Murphy, I want you to move around this Curse Ritual Research Institute as much as possible during this recent period."
"The more you walk around, the better, but try to avoid the Blood Curse Court's wizard seed sequence and those First Circle wizard curse masters."
Having just learned of the six layers of curse barriers, Locke decided to be cautious, preparing to use his spy to map out the entire interior of the curse formula institute, especially areas with curse magic traps. It would be best to understand the internal defense mechanisms of this Curse Ritual Research Institute through this spy.
How many personnel they had, what important projects they were researching, and so on...
He could immediately hire an Illusion School speed artist to help him draw this map.
Leoni Murphy said joyfully, "Yes, master."
"Rest assured, I guarantee to complete the mission."
Leoni Murphy seemed to very much enjoy Locke assigning him tasks. This gave him a feeling that he also had someone behind him, that as long as he followed Locke's instructions, he could continuously advance.
The next moment, a black stick fell in front of Leoni Murphy. The stick was covered with curse script, and just by falling, it caused Leoni Murphy's heart extreme pain.
A fat black wizard apprentice whose left arm had been sewn with a naga arm sneered coldly at the suffering Leoni Murphy, "Leoni Murphy, what are you doing, spacing out like that?"
"You still think you're the supervisor here? Your master is already in trouble, recently severely punished by the council of elders. His mana has declined so much that he's been expelled from the wizard seed sequence."
"Hahaha..." The fat black wizard apprentice laughed mockingly, "Your master is in trouble, and you, as his slave, I think you're finished too."
"Although I don't know what methods you used or whose coattails you grabbed onto to get transferred back, you listen to me clearly. I'm the only supervisor here..."
"Did everyone hear that!"
In the great hall, those second-class wizard apprentices didn't want to get into trouble over others' affairs, so they all immediately chimed in.
"Right, Jude Roosevelt is our supervisor."
"Leoni, this bastard, is the lowest level among us. All the hard and dirty work should be done by him."
"I've always disliked this person!"
Seeing this scene, Jude immediately broke into a happy smile. He looked at Leoni Murphy smugly, then picked up his pain curse script stick and slowly walked elsewhere to supervise others.
Leoni Murphy remained silent throughout, keeping his head down and suppressing his anger. At this moment, he stared at the fishman sacrifice on the operating table, his heart full of rage.
'I now also have someone behind me, and it's a master even more powerful than your masters.'
'Damn Jude, someday I'll make you pay back everything. Just you wait. I now also have someone behind me!'
