Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 221: Heading to the Heart of Blood Curse Court

Locke spent two thousand magic stones to secretly purchase 28 potions from their shop, then left the Owl Cauldron shop.
Later, at dusk, Locke secretly went to a port in the port city of Lilith's Cottage as agreed.
It was a small port among the many ports in the port city, a coastal port. Outside the southeastern quadrant, it wasn't the case that once you left the sea, you would be in the domain of the Endless Mystic Sea.
In the coastal area, it was still relatively safe.
Even if there were some fierce aquatic magical creatures, their harm wasn't very significant but once you left the coastal area, everything completely changed.
The Endless Mystic Sea was an ocean where even formal wizards had to proceed with caution, with some areas being absolutely forbidden to enter.
That wasn't an ordinary ocean. Its unfathomably deep depths, like an abyss beneath the sea surface, concealed countless mysteries.
It was said that even ancient marine creatures that had long disappeared might appear in the Endless Mystic Sea if one's luck was bad enough.
Even wizard ships operated by formal wizards could be destroyed by some suddenly appearing sea monster or ancient dragon king.
Or while traveling, one might encounter a massive oceanic whirlpool as large as a continent. That level of geological disaster was enough to kill most wizards.
That was a region completely different from the safe land.
The Endless Mystic Sea seemed to connect different dimensions and planes.
Locke had once seen some records of people who went to sea for three years, mistakenly entered some strange plane, and when they returned, they discovered that over a hundred years had passed in the main material plane but in the coastal waters, it was just ordinary ocean, very safe.
The ship at this small port that Locke came to was one that the wealthy mortals in Lilith's Cottage's port city would use for their travels.
He deliberately removed his wizard robe, put all his magical plants into his astral ring, and wore a set of medieval noble attire.
A tight-fitting shirt, purple-dyed leggings, and a semicircular cloak with silver needle trim made Locke, whose physique had been perfected through ancient creature bloodline transformation, look like a handsome and dashing elf ranger.
When Locke arrived at this small port, Witch Sophia, along with two first-class wizard apprentices and a female First Circle wizard that Locke had never seen before, were already at the port.
At this time, they had all done some disguising and hidden their magical pressure, appearing like a group of ordinary nobles.
Locke knew that according to the plan, they would disguise themselves as a group of ordinary mortal nobles and pretend to be smuggling a batch of goods into Blood Curse Court's mortal territories.
This was very reasonable, because the civilization level of Blood Curse Court's mortal world had completely failed to keep up with the civilization level of the white wizard territories' mortal world, so mortal nobles would often travel thousands of miles, risking various dangers to transport goods from here.
Blood Curse Court's jurisdiction was too vast, so there was no way to restrict this kind of goods circulation.
When this group saw Locke arrive, they all began moving. After Witch Sophia saw Locke's attire, she smiled slightly and said, "Locke, that's too exaggerated. You haven't carried out infiltration missions before, have you?"
Locke said, "Teacher, what's wrong?"
"Does the image I'm impersonating not resemble a mortal noble? I specifically looked up the common attire of mortal nobles in Lilith's Cottage territories before coming..."
Witch Sophia and another formal witch, Bena Gabriel, exchanged glances, then Witch Sophia smiled and said, "It's not a problem with the attire, but with temperament."
Witch Sophia raised her index finger and waved it, "Your temperament is really too outstanding."
"Ordinary mortal nobles don't have your kind of bearing."
"Even if you were thrown into a crowd of mediocre people, everyone would immediately focus their attention on you."
Witch Sophia handed Locke a potion, "But don't worry about it, this is Thousand Faces Potion."
Locke looked down and saw that Witch Sophia had given him a gourd-shaped glass potion bottle containing purple potion.
This was the first time Locke had received a First Circle level potion, that is, a genuine magical potion but he hadn't expected it to be in this form. And this was a functional potion.
Locke's expression changed slightly. "Teacher, this is too precious. How can someone of my magical level use a First Circle level potion."
Witch Sophia was nonchalant. "After taking the Thousand Faces Potion, you can gain partial abilities similar to those of transmutation school shapeshifters for this one month, allowing you to quickly change appearance, temperament, and soul aura for the next month."
"In fact, I will freely give a bottle of Thousand Faces Potion to all participants in this operation. This is a potion I brewed myself, and the cost isn't expensive."
Witch Sophia became serious. "The difficulty of this operation is that we need to kill one of their formal wizards in the enemy's rear."
"So we cannot attract any attention, and Thousand Faces Potion is essential. Whether for infiltration or escape, we'll need to use it."
"Without this level of potion, you'll easily be discovered by their curse patrol officers, and once discovered, their wizard army will surround us."
"At that time, we can only retreat."
Locke nodded. "I understand, Teacher."
He opened his mouth and drank it all in one gulp.
The medicinal properties of the Thousand Faces Potion were very gentle. He only felt countless magical energies silently integrating into his bloodline factors.
This temporarily gave him a very powerful bloodline passive spell that didn't require him to consume much mana.
This spell was even a First Circle level transformation spell.
"This is equivalent to an experience card for First Circle level facial transformation spell," Locke thought. "First Circle level potions are indeed magical."
"Even if shapeshifters take the Thousand Faces Potion once, the insights they gain can greatly advance their progress in transformation spells. Although we outsiders don't understand transformation spells, we can still gain a month of transformation experience out of thin air."
"Moreover, the magical energy needed for transformation is entirely paid for by the potion, so I don't need to pay anything myself."
Witch Sophia said to the formal witch Bena Gabriel beside her with a smile, "How about it, my student is quite interesting, isn't he?"
Bena Gabriel smiled. "His personality gets along quite well with yours."
Witch Sophia looked at Bena Gabriel with interest, "Bena, why don't you make a prophecy for my student? See what his future will be like?"
Witch Gabriel quickly waved her hands. "That won't do. Prophesying the future for others would cause me serious backlash. One session costs tens of thousands of magic stones."
"I can't work for free for you."
Witch Sophia joked, "He's just a wizard apprentice, how much backlash could there be?"
Witch Gabriel became serious. She had white hair, delicate features, and no eyebrows. "It's not about magical level."
"Divination school magic is the most complex."
"If your student has tremendous future potential, then his backlash against me will also be great. If he has a high probability of becoming a formal wizard in the future, then prophesying for him during his apprentice stage would cause even greater backlash than prophesying for ordinary formal wizards."
Witch Gabriel said, "Unless what he asks me about is some trivial matter."
"But I can see that's not what you mean, Sophia."
Witch Sophia had to give up. "Locke, let me introduce you. This is Witch Bena Gabriel."
"She is also a student of Lady Morgana."
"Lady Morgana has some research in divination school magic, and Witch Gabriel is one of the most powerful senior prophets in our school currently."
Witch Sophia pointed to the two first-class wizard apprentices beside her, "This is my friend Albert, also a potion studies wizard seed of this generation at Lilith's Cottage."
"This is also my friend, Captain Andy Layton of the combat squad. He is a professional combat Incinerator. Incinerators are the collective term for wizard professionals among those wizards who specialize in evocation school flame magic sub-directions and specifically learn flame magic to burn enemies to death."
