Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 322: Gift, Fire Pearl Tomato Flower
Locke frowned. He glanced at Witch Melanie Carlyle. As a formal wizard now, he naturally had to maintain his dignity as a formal wizard.
The White Wizard Association had explicit regulations that wizard apprentices actively attacking formal wizards was a very serious major crime.
Although when the wizard seeds from the Pyrotechnic Academy actively attacked him at that time, he hadn't yet become a formal wizard, because that time was very close to when he advanced to formal wizard, and it was all within the Forbidden Forest secret realm, it could barely be said that they had attacked a First Circle wizard.
This was a very serious charge in the association.
A series of ethical review mechanisms coming down would be enough to make a wizard genius unable to make any progress for the next five years, and might even affect his wizard mentor.
After all, in the association's eyes, only formal wizards counted as adults. Wizard apprentices were merely property in the hands of formal wizards.
In the association's eyes, this was actually a conflict between two formal wizards.
Locke said rather coldly, "Witch Melanie Carlyle, attacking a formal wizard is a very serious charge."
Several wizard apprentices from the Pyrotechnic Academy became increasingly nervous at this moment, afraid that Locke would make demands, requiring them to apologize with compensation, or even work for Locke for free for several years.
If that happened, their prospects would become much dimmer.
Time was the lifeblood of wizard apprentices.
Every wizard apprentice had to strive to raise their mental power to 800 before the age of 40.
Witch Melanie Carlyle's heart also sank slightly. She secretly sighed and looked at Locke, unable to discern what he was thinking.
'As expected, it won't be so easy to gloss over.' Witch Melanie Carlyle thought, 'What was I thinking? He's a white wizard combat genius who played a huge role in this war, hunting down black wizards like hunting down stray dogs.'
'He's decisive and vigorous. How could he be as easy to fool as an ordinary formal wizard?'
Witch Melanie Carlyle didn't feel angry because of Locke's cold response. "Of course, it's precisely because of this that I brought my students to apologize. Lilith's Cottage and the Pyrotechnic Academy have always had a good relationship. We're both founding members of the White Wizard Association in the southeastern quadrant."
"And Halen Vera and I are old friends with at least a hundred years of friendship."
Witch Melanie Carlyle said, "So this is indeed all a misunderstanding. After I return, I will definitely punish these students of mine and correct their conduct."
Witch Melanie looked sternly at several of her students, frightening them even more.
Witch Melanie said, "This is all the result of my lax discipline. As a gift to restore our friendship, I want to present this [Fire Pearl Tomato Flower] to you as a gift."
Witch Melanie took from her ring a magical plant glowing with firelight. This magical plant wasn't very large, about the size of a bellflower, and could be worn on a finger like a ring.
Locke noticed that this magical plant was very peculiar, with no roots or leaves, just a stem and fruit.
A small tomato as red as fire was located on its main stem position. Its color was very vivid, a color that didn't exist in the mortal world, like the most beautiful ruby.
Halen Vera, who had remained silent until now, suddenly spoke. "Locke, the Fire Pearl Tomato Flower is a special fully parasitic First Circle magical plant cultivated by breeders on the Pyrotechnic Academy side. It mainly parasitizes through stems. The market price is around eight thousand magic stones."
"Because it's a parasitic magical plant, it's somewhat cheaper."
"Parasitic magical plants mean a heavier mana burden on the wizard."
"This Fire Pearl Tomato Flower is very unique. It continuously releases outward a gaseous component with a natural First Circle flame curse-like mana structure."
"You only need to use a supporting plant magic [Flame Bright Spirit Qi], and you can enchant your other magical plants, or even wizard swords, magic tools, and even your other spell models that don't have conflicting attributes."
Halen Vera adjusted his plain glasses. "It's a type of auxiliary magical plant, but it has the problem of needing to consume more mana."
Locke's eyes brightened slightly. Didn't that mean wearing this kind of magical plant could provide an additional enchantment to his permanent defensive field?
Moreover, the supporting spells for Sea Gold Sand did indeed state that they needed fire element-type magical plants for assistance to fully unleash their power.
Because the Scorching Gold Sand Flow series of spells actually required gold magic as primary and fire magic as auxiliary.
But Sea Gold Sand didn't produce fire magic, so another fire magic magical plant was needed for assistance, to cooperate with Sea Gold Sand in casting this series of First Circle attack magic.
Therefore, even if the Pyrotechnic Academy hadn't come to apologize today, Locke himself was planning to go to the auction house to seek a fire attribute First Circle magical plant.
Of course, from the current perspective, the Fire Pearl Tomato Flower was most suitable for him. It was itself a parasitic magical plant, and its supporting spells were also auxiliary-type spells that cooperated with other spells.
All of this, under other circumstances, would very likely be points that lowered its value but uniquely for his use of the Scorching Gold Sand Flow series, it wasn't a disadvantage but an advantage.
The Scorching Gold Sand Flow series of magic was best used with this type of flame magical plant, which wouldn't overshadow the primary element.
Witch Melanie saw that Halen Vera was reminding Locke of the value of the gift she had given.
She smiled helplessly. "Halen, you're as cunning as ever. Wizard Augustine, this is the magic book for the supporting spell [Flame Bright Spirit Qi]."
"If you accept our apology, then I'll give you this magic book as well."
Locke calculated in his mind and was slightly astonished. He hadn't expected that to apologize to him and obtain his forgiveness, the other party would actually pay out items worth at least fifteen thousand magic stones or more.
Locke looked at Witch Melanie with confusion, not knowing why she would go to such great lengths.
Although these things might not be as expensive for Witch Melanie as their market price, even just counting the cost, it was still a major hemorrhage.
From Witch Melanie's eyes, Locke saw wariness toward himself. Locke instantly understood what was happening.
'I see.'
'The other party seems to have misunderstood something, thinking I'm a very difficult person to deal with and that my methods are ruthless. A person's reputation precedes them. No wonder black wizards place so much importance on face. It really is useful.'
Locke came to his realization. 'But actually they've misunderstood me. I'm quite reasonable.'
'I'm not as difficult to deal with as they imagine. I'm actually a very tolerant and magnanimous wizard.'
'These Incinerators are judging me by their own standards.'
So he deliberately put on a cold expression, then nodded with an air of "you're getting off easy." "Well, in that case, let's leave it at that."
"I can let this matter go."
"Originally I thought Witch Melanie was hostile toward me. Now it seems this was indeed a misunderstanding."
Witch Melanie immediately felt relieved inside. 'As expected, the Eye Demon wizard had already misunderstood me. I almost provoked such a troublesome enemy because of a few students' foolish behavior.'
'The Eye Demon wizard's methods are ruthless. In one go, he annihilated almost all the new generation of the Blood Curse Court, and even made the Ghost Sacred Order's sect leader return defeated, wanting to kill him but unable to. I'd better not have any conflict with him.'
'The Fire Pearl Tomato Flower and Flame Bright Spirit Qi were both gifts given to me by a student who became a First Circle wizard before. I have no use for them at all. So although the total value is high, they're perfect for this occasion.'
Thinking of this, Witch Melanie glared fiercely at the several students behind her, her eyes full of anger.
And those students almost understood that after returning, they would have to bear all of Witch Melanie's fury. For a moment, they all turned pale and didn't dare move. However, Halen Vera, who understood Locke's character better, was looking at this scene with a strange expression.
He didn't speak up.
He just could barely keep the corners of his mouth from rising.
