Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 313: Dean Earl Thompson
Large Green Owl Banana rose behind Locke as he tried to fly upward, but no matter how he flew up, he felt a huge dragging force pulling on his feet, preventing him from flying up.
He looked down and discovered water plants tangled around both feet. But in the blink of an eye, he saw that the water plants wrapped around his feet were actually a woman's long hair.
From that pile of hair crawled out a woman with a pale face, completely bloodless, with blue-green skin. She crawled out from the hair, both hands grabbing Locke's feet. "Stay here, and I can return to the natural cycle."
"Over a hundred years. You stay here and replace my position."
"You stay!"
Locke frowned, but he still couldn't breathe. When he opened his mouth, he felt some kind of viscous liquid about to pour into his lungs. Below was a water ghost pulling on his feet, wanting him to be her scapegoat.
Locke even wanted to use the original runes to obtain the Calamity Beast panel, doubling his magic pressure to 7000 to strengthen his mana and see if he could escape this unknown region.
If he continued staying like this, he might really absurdly drown here.
But just as Locke was about to open his innate magic eye, he suddenly sensed that in this eerie ocean filled with the Ghost Sacred Order crystallization wizard's magic pressure, another crystallization wizard's magic pressure suddenly appeared.
Locke stopped his operation. As his consciousness became somewhat hazy from suffocation, that crystallization wizard poured a First Circle potion, Spirit Spring Soul Surge Potion, into his mouth. Immediately after, Locke felt he could breathe smoothly again.
The female water ghost grabbing him with both hands and long hair let out an unwilling scream, helplessly watching two formal wizards leave this soul sea.
The next moment, Locke returned to the core control room of the underground building. He was just soaking wet, with a puddle of water appearing on the ground.
An old man appeared beside Locke. He wore wizard robes representing Lilith's Cottage's emblem, wore an exaggerated dean's hat, had some age spots on his face. His lifespan seemed to have nearly reached a First Circle wizard's five-hundred-year limit, thus carrying some decaying aura.
Dean Earl Thompson nodded slightly to Locke. "Mr. Augustine, you did very well. On behalf of Lilith's Cottage leadership, I thank you for the contributions you made to our Lilith's Cottage this time."
"Rest assured."
Dean Earl Thompson's palm rested on Locke's shoulder. In an instant, all the clothes on Locke's body dried. Dean Earl Thompson said to Locke in a low voice, "I didn't expect that the Forest Sanctuary magic of the previous dean, Dean Lewis, would be completed in your hands."
"I'll keep it secret for you. But I also need to thank you for this."
"Dean Lewis was once my wizard mentor." Dean Earl Thompson's gaze was complex, containing both condemnation of Wizard Lewis and helplessness toward him. "Even now I still can't understand Teacher Lewis's past actions, but I hope completing the Forest Sanctuary can let the deceased rest in peace."
This was the first time Locke met the academy's dean, Earl Thompson. The person before him looked like a very reasonable old man with a serene expression.
Locke tentatively said, "Dean Earl Thompson, I can return the Forest Sanctuary to Lilith's Cottage. After all, this was originally Lilith's Cottage's research project."
Dean Earl Thompson immediately shook his head. "No, you're our Lilith's Cottage's student. You learned it, which means Lilith's Cottage's past resources weren't invested in vain. But this magic isn't suitable to remain at Lilith's Cottage. That would trigger certain people's sensitive nerves within the association, especially those... stubborn holy masters."
"But as long as you take it out of the southeastern quadrant, this is a very good magic. Being able to see my teacher's research results finally implemented, I'm already satisfied."
Dean Earl Thompson looked at Locke with appreciative eyes. "The academy is proud of you and Witch Sophia."
"After this time, all contracts between you and the academy can be considered settled." Dean Earl Thompson added, "Advisor Francis's vision is just too small. He can only see things in the southeastern quadrant."
"For the academy, genius students have genius students' destinations, and ordinary formal wizards have ordinary formal wizards' destinations. Super geniuses like you and Witch Sophia who rapidly became formal wizards, I know that no matter what, it's impossible to keep you in the southeastern quadrant. This would delay you and also delay our academy."
"No matter what, you can't change that you originated from Lilith's Cottage. This is an unchangeable brand."
"Therefore, you making a name for yourselves outside can already bring continuous benefits to our Lilith's Cottage."
Locke straightened his clothes and thanked Dean Earl Thompson, "Thank you, Dean."
He hadn't expected that Dean Earl Thompson would seem so reasonable.
Of course, he also didn't know whether Dean Earl Thompson would be this reasonable before other people.
Locke asked, "Dean, what exactly just happened? What potion did you give me that could actually resolve my predicament?"
Locke couldn't not ask this question.
The bizarre situation that just occurred actually directly bypassed his permanent defensive field and nearly cursed him to death. If not for Dean Earl Thompson coming to the rescue, he could only try doubling his magic pressure to see if he could escape that eerie ocean.
But honestly speaking, Locke had no confidence in his heart.
The might of a crystallization wizard with at least 9000+ magic pressure was evident.
Dean Earl Thompson smiled and said, "That was ritual magic. You indeed haven't been exposed to this part of knowledge content. Each stage of mental power materialization brings wizards some special abilities."
"Vaporization wizards' psychic power is more powerful than ordinary formal wizards, even possessing certain telekinetic abilities. Their psychic power can strengthen all magic they master, producing slight power enhancements."
"You yourself should also be able to imperceptibly sense this point. The magic you cast, not only becomes more powerful than other black wizards under magic pressure support, but your psychic power is also stronger than those black wizards."
"Liquefaction wizards' psychic power will have enhanced perception, becoming particularly powerful. Therefore all magic will gain a ten percent power increase out of thin air."
"Crystallization wizards' psychic power, after three changes, finally undergoes qualitative change. They can use a special magic called ritual magic to perform body modification, magic enhancement, and borrow certain external powers."
"Just now, Witch Stephanie used ritual magic to drag you into what ghost school wizards call the Soul Sea, or Mother Sea, a special plane we white wizards call the River Styx plane."
"Indeed, if Witch Stephanie hadn't suddenly released her magic, you would have drowned in the River Styx."
Dean Thompson said calmly.
Locke detected the meaning in his words and showed a surprised expression. "Did Witch Stephanie actively release the magic?"
Dean Thompson nodded. "Yes, this was a transaction. At that time, I was pursuing and killing another evil witch from the Ghost Sacred Order in this building. I was about to kill her."
"Witch Stephanie, in order to save her, attacked you, forcing me to make a value exchange. If I wanted to kill her person, she could kill you. Ultimately I chose to accept this transaction."
"Because that witch's value couldn't compare to yours. You're one of the academy's extremely high-quality core assets."
Dean Thompson said, "What I gave you was just a bottle of Spirit Spring Soul Surge Potion, only wanting to restore your condition. It had no ability to help you escape the River Styx."
Locke felt a chill down his back. He had just experienced a transaction involving his life.
Dean Thompson said, "Of course, that Ghost Sacred Order witch's injuries are far more severe than yours. Although she has a First Circle permanent defensive field, I almost killed her. But you were almost uninjured. This is because you and she have different strength levels, so under pursuit by the same crystallization wizard, your injuries are much lighter than hers."
"This transaction, I made a huge profit."
