Chapter 1077 The Special Function of Subtracting to Empty and the Reappearance of the Throne of Good and Evil!

Locke used various testing methods in this makeshift laboratory. Strangely, after using many of the water magic testing methods from the Tide Wizard Tower, he couldn’t find the source of these water stains. However, when he turned his back to the water stains and then suddenly looked back, he saw that the water stains had increased again.

The water inside the laboratory had already reached his feet.

Locke’s expression changed slightly, “Could it be—a curse?”

“This water seems to be just ordinary water.”

When Locke tried to turn around again and looked back at his makeshift laboratory, he found that the water had reached his knees.

[Remember this site’s domain name: t̑̈̑̈w̑̈̑̈k̑̈̑̈̑̈ȃ̈̑̈n̑̈̑̈.c̑̈̑̈ȏ̈̑̈m̑̈̑̈ Super Reliable]

“This water—”

Suddenly, a torrential downpour began above his makeshift laboratory, countless drops falling on his head.

Locke shielded his eyes with his hands, but wasn’t too panicked. After all, there was a master of curse magic, Hai Shan, in this camp. If this was truly a curse targeting him, perhaps Hai Shan would have a solution.

Locke looked at a figure that had suddenly appeared in the rain. The person had waist-length hair and wore a dark blue wizard’s robe, which flowed like a skirt. Locke asked the person, “Who are you?”

The person didn’t answer, but instead squatted on the ground, seemingly crying.

Locke asked suspiciously, “Are you the Rose Witch?”

“Answer me!”

Locke’s gaze turned cold. He snapped his fingers, and three giant ferns, resembling three forest pythons, crawled out from behind him, sheltering him from the wind and rain.

“What are you trying to tell me, sir? Is this a warning? Or what are you planning?”

After Locke summoned the giant ferns, the water beneath his feet rapidly receded, and the witch, who had her back to him and was weeping, seemed startled. Although she didn’t move, her figure was rapidly moving away from him.

At the same time, the floor and walls of his laboratory quickly dried.

Clearly, the other party was quickly moving away.

But at that moment, Locke quickly caught up, grabbing the hand of the witch who was trying to leave with her back turned, and said, “Don’t go.”

“Easy to enter, hard to leave. You’re not leaving until you explain yourself.”

The next moment, the witch suddenly turned around, revealing the face of Rose the Witch. However, unlike the Rose the Witch Locke usually encountered, who seemed to have a temperamental personality, this woman was completely expressionless, her face devoid of any emotion. Her pupils were cold and ruthless, without a trace of light.

The woman coldly looked at Locke. “Let me go.”

“Who are you?”

Locke raised an eyebrow. He could sense something that was about to break free from him being forcibly pulled back by his grabbing the hand of the person in front of him.

But as a wizard, when faced with the unknown, one should not be afraid at first, but rather try to explore the mechanism behind it. One

could even be slightly delighted.

Because discovering an unknown phenomenon means that if one can analyze it, there is a high possibility of gaining something.

The woman looked at Locke with cold, unfamiliar eyes. “I don’t know who you are. Let go of me, mind your own business.”

“I’m not saying let go of my hand, I mean let go of me on a causal level. Right now, it’s your magical pressure that’s preventing me from leaving. This is foolish.”

Locke raised an eyebrow. “You provoked me first.”

“Explain yourself and I’ll let you leave.”

The woman frowned, and the next moment, she suddenly vanished before Locke’s eyes, and the mysterious liquid in the entire makeshift laboratory disappeared.

Locke knew that because he had forcibly prevented the other woman’s magical pressure from dissipating with his own, she had only temporarily disappeared from his sight. The special connection, or rather, the special causal relationship, between them had not disappeared.

This was a characteristic of Star Ring Wizards; their immense magic could generate stellar gravity.

Theoretically, stellar gravity was a very advanced force; it could even absorb fate and time—though only the fate and time of ordinary planes—but it allowed a wizard’s magical pressure to do much more.

Therefore, when Locke realized that the other party was about to retreat like a startled rabbit, he immediately released his full magical pressure, generating stellar gravity to pull the other party’s magical pressure back.

“The gravitational pull of my magic has locked her magical pressure. Regardless of whether this person is Rose or not, she will inevitably converge with my magical pressure again.”

Locke pondered, “I wonder if this is a problem with Rose herself, or if it’s the Death Selection Council, or some other wizarding force’s scheme against me.”

Locke constructed a water magic spell model in front of him, trying to confirm the source of the water again, but he still couldn’t do it this time.

Inside the makeshift laboratory, Haishan looked at the mess of equipment and shook her head at Locke, saying, “If I weren’t an old acquaintance of yours, and knew your personality—that you’re not one to make empty promises—I would have really thought you were playing me. There’s no trace of curse magic here. To curse a Star Ring Archmage like you would require a very high level of curse magic. And

high-level curse magic requires using spirit macros to strengthen the curse connection, which makes it easier to leave traces at the spirit macro level.”

“Locke, you’re not cursed.”   Locke fell into deep thought.

Then   who did it?   Could it be that Rose the Witch was just asking for help? Then who is the woman who looks exactly like Rose?   Haishan waved her hand at Locke.   ”The Rain Swamp is full of ghosts and spirits. Perhaps you resonated with some deceased Void God in this wizarding land. I’m going to get busy. I’ll take my leave first.”   Haishan wasn’t worried about this situation.   After all, she herself was embroiled in various troubles. It was normal for a wizard to get caught up in troublesome matters while researching unknown phenomena.   Moreover, Locke was currently at odds with a powerful interest group, making him even more vulnerable to assassination.   However, Haishan trusted Locke to handle the situation himself, and besides, she was too preoccupied with her own problems to worry about others.   Therefore, she didn’t say much and left the makeshift laboratory.   Locke frowned. He watched as Prince Appian outside the wizarding town ordered his subordinates to build a defensive magic array. A massive golden magic defensive array was being erected in the wizarding town; he was helping Locke strengthen his camp’s defenses.   This suited him perfectly; he was also worried that failing to strengthen his camp’s defenses would leave a weakness that could be exploited.   But the problem was, if the defensive array had been strengthened, why was this situation still occurring in his laboratory?   ”I have no clue,”   Locke slapped his forehead.   ”Although I managed to stop her in time, preventing her from disappearing without a trace, only by keeping her here and studying her can I find the secret to how she so easily approached me, protected by two complex enchanted defensive magic arrays and guarded by numerous second-ring and star-ring wizards.” ”   Solving this mystery is the only way to prevent her from suddenly attacking me in the future, or for similar phenomena to occur. But the problem is, I have no clue.”   Locke felt troubled.   Because this was the first time in his life he had encountered such a strange situation, and it had nothing to do with magical plants or potions, he didn’t know where to begin.   At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared beside Locke.   ”Wizard Locke, it’s been half a year. Are you here lamenting the unpredictability of life?”   ”Half a year ago, you were full of vigor and had no doubts about yourself. But now, you finally understand a little about the dangers of the world and the difficulty of what you have to do.”   Locke turned his head and saw the Throne Wizard of Good and Evil, dressed like a small merchant.   Locke said, “Was this your doing?”   Locke immediately bowed to him and then respectfully asked, “Your Throne, did you use illusion magic to create those waters and the illusion of that witch before me?”   ”And why have you appeared before me again? Is this your true form again?”   The Throne of Good and Evil said, “I am not a true form now. Didn’t your teacher tell you? Every top-level meditation method has its own characteristics. The characteristic of our True Good School’s top-level meditation method is that when a wizard learns this top-level meditation method, it is easy to summon the form of the wizard who previously learned this top-level meditation method. In other words, I am not actually the Throne of Good and Evil. I am the Throne of Good and Evil who learned the top-level meditation method in your hands, the form that remains in that meditation method, and I am now by your side.” “However, I   am not your personal customer service representative, and you are not a member of our lineage. Our lineage has long since collapsed and shattered.”   The old man of the Throne of Good and Evil glanced at him sideways, “Hmm?”   ”But that bet you made with my true form is still vivid in my mind. Alas, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for you to investigate further, but this is only the beginning.”   Locke blinked, realizing that the Throne of Good and Evil before him might not be his true form. He immediately straightened his back, but since this form was closely related to the Throne Wizard, he wasn’t foolish enough to provoke him.   ”I see. It’s truly an honor to have your form by my side, Your Majesty. But I don’t know about my privacy—”   The Throne of Good and Evil said, “Actually, I am now a part of you. Although I call my true form my true form, it doesn’t mean it is truly my true form. You are my true form, so you don’t need to worry about revealing my privacy.” ”   If you’re really worried, you can reduce me to nothing right now and remove me.”   Locke smiled and bowed, saying, “Your Majesty, you flatter me. It’s an honor to have a teacher like you by my side, reminding me and guiding me. How could I not appreciate it?”   Locke thought to himself: I still need to have my teacher check this form for me. “It would be best if she sealed this form for me with the Heart Spell. I can unseal it when I want to ask him questions. Yes, I need to ask my teacher to see me now to resolve this issue.”   Locke quickly contacted the Red Dragon Witch through the Water Gourd System.   After all, this involved the maddened Throne Wizard of the Siming Waters, so he had to be cautious. If anything went wrong, it was best to contact his teacher immediately.   Moreover, Locke had a guess.   Why didn’t this old man’s form appear before, but only now? Was it because the Heart Spell on his body had been removed by his potion-based fire magic, meaning his teacher, the Witch Catherine, couldn’t pay attention to him anymore?   Human hearts are unpredictable; one must be wary.   What if the Throne of Good and Evil is actually a wizard from the Death Selection Society?   Locke, considering the many secrets he possessed, proactively asked, “Your Majesty, when did your form come into my possession?”   The Throne of Good and Evil replied, “Not for very long. Because your Supreme Meditation Technique is incomplete, and you haven’t been learning it for very long. My form transferred into you from the Supreme Meditation Technique in the last few days.”   He glanced at Locke’s actions in connecting with the Red Dragon Throne, and a smile played on his lips as he said, “When I learned this meditation technique, I was a Sun Ring Wizard, so this form isn’t actually a Third Ring Wizard form, but a Sun Ring Wizard form.”

Locke looked up at the Throne of Good and Evil, questioning, “That’s not right. Your Majesty, when we first met, you said your lineage no longer existed, but now you say this is merely a form of your Sun Ring Wizardry, a part of what you left behind within the School of Truth and Goodness when you first learned the advanced meditation technique.”

The Throne of Good and Evil replied, “That’s true. Because when I was learning this advanced meditation technique, the School of Truth and Goodness, once the strongest lineage in the Eastern Realm and one of the most powerful and prominent magical disciplines, had already shattered.” “

Because of the internal struggles and conflicts within our school of illusion. From its very inception, the School of Truth and Goodness has been concerned with an ideological conflict that has spanned several eras of wizarding civilization. Of course, the School of Truth and Goodness has now completely declined, and you are no longer a student of our lineage, so there’s no need to elaborate.”

The Throne of Good and Evil continued, “It’s worth mentioning that the wizard you met yesterday named Edgar did bear traces of this conflict.”

“Besides that, the only thing I know is about the relationship between you and my true self. This is still through the form of my true self that remains within your body. Your essence once attracted his essence to descend, and at that time, a part of his form entered your form. He probably wanted to belong to you. But because you refused to become his student, it didn’t succeed.”

Locke asked doubtfully, “Could it be that the wizard Edgar also received the inheritance of the School of Truth and Goodness?”

The Throne of Good and Evil shook its head and said, “No. The School of Truth and Goodness is an ancient doctrine, which originated at the end of the Age of Stars. As I said, the divisions and conflicts within the School of Truth and Goodness are related to the conflicts and problems that have permeated countless eras of wizarding civilization. And your friend Edgar is heading in a direction that may lead him to utter ruin, make him a lonely figure, and possibly cause him to perish halfway. It can’t be said that he has taken the wrong path, but it is an ominous one.”

“However, being able to walk this path represents his potential.”

“A wizard without sufficient potential cannot tread this path. However, he is only close to it; whether he can finish, or how far he can go, depends on his own destiny.”

“Reaching the top isn’t difficult; the difficulty lies in whether one can stand firm and stand steadily.

“

Locke nodded thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something, and said to the form left in the meditation by the Sun Ring Wizard, “Your Throne, I do have a few questions I’d like to ask you, but I don’t know if you—”

The next moment, the form of the Throne of Good and Evil disappeared, leaving behind a sentence.

“You’re not my student. You’ve only learned our lineage’s meditation method; I have no obligation or need to help you.”

Locke smiled bitterly, and at the same time, he checked his soul, then his expression became serious.

“I was so careless.”

Yes, things have been going too smoothly lately, which is why I was so careless. It seems I can’t use the Synthetic Cube for the next few days.

I must wait for my teacher to come and ask her to help me find a way to restrain this form. If all else fails, I still need to cleanse myself of this other person’s form.”

Locke’s expression was extremely serious.

He had indeed been too careless lately.

Since that top-tier meditation method was a treasure of the School of Truth and Goodness, it was naturally closely related to the School of Truth and Goodness, and it was quite normal for it to connect with the already insane form of the Throne of Good and Evil.

Locke sat down, carefully considering the current situation.

The first problem was the mysterious Rose who had appeared before him.

The second problem was the form of this Throne of Truth and Goodness during the Sun Ring era.

Locke glanced at the chat history and found that the Witch Catherine had still not replied.

“It seems I can only rely on myself.”

“However, I am, after all, a Star Ring Wizard. When faced with problems, I do need to rely on my own strength to solve them.”

“For a Star Ring Wizard, as long as one can use their own power system to explain something, they can see through that thing and thus find a way to solve the problem.”

Leaves of power appeared behind Locke.

If he relied on the Witch Catherine to solve everything, then why didn’t she come to investigate this Valley of Despair Laboratory herself? Why bother asking him to lead the team here?

Locke steadied himself, making a firm decision. He would find a way to solve these two problems while continuing his investigation into Probus and the White Frost Witch, and at the same time, he would continue holding the competition.

Only by attracting more attention through the competition could he ensure his safety and the continuation of the project.

A day later, in the makeshift laboratory, Locke summoned Edgar and the Red Witch, Mormodius.

Edgar was very interested in Locke’s idea of using the concept of the “Jungle” to enhance his first and second-level magical plant sets, and thus agreed to come.

Furthermore, these magical plants were also for the development of the wizarding legions at Quinjol University, so the three began to discuss them together.

Inside the makeshift laboratory, Edgar looked at Locke and said, “Jungles are something I’ve been researching lately. To be honest, I also wanted to start working on jungles, but I didn’t expect we’d both be thinking the same thing. Because of the limitations of the Star Ring Wizards’ spiritual energy cultivation methods, as well as the issues of financial resources and magical pressure, most Star Ring Wizards rarely venture into jungles.”

“Jungles are the domain of Moon Ring Wizards,”

Edgar said. “The representative and dominant species held by Moon Ring Wizards possess powerful magical pressure and strong spiritual energy, making it easier for them to form jungles and become even stronger. But that Karl Wizard from the Black Earth—”

A look of fear flashed in Edgar’s eyes, and his body trembled slightly.

“Locke, you’ve been in the Rainswamp, so perhaps you haven’t heard of it. Have you heard of the Demon Fire Ranking?”

“The Demon Fire Ranking is a list of second-ring flames with special spiritual connections, arranged by fire magic wizards of the Evocation School.

Each of these flames is far more powerful than your Primal Flame.”

Locke asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

Wizard Edgar whispered, “I heard that Wizard Karl, due to his special physique, coupled with the resources of the Black Earth and its special inheritance, is born with the ability to control all the flames on the Demon Fire Ranking. For him, as long as he becomes a Sun Ring Wizard, he can immediately manipulate any flame on the list.”

Locke raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He had heard of the Demon Fire Ranking himself.

A peculiar flame, produced by special spiritual connections or their unique mechanisms, resulting in extremely rare but powerful demon fire.

Some demon fires are naturally occurring, while others are created by fire magic wizards in laboratories using planetary-scale furnaces.

But regardless of the type, they are all extremely powerful.

It is said that when using the same fire magic with demonic fire, the power of that magic is incomparable to that of ordinary fire magic spells.

Especially the top fifty flames on the Fire Ranking. If a wizard obtains and can use even one of them, it means he can use a special spiritual touch that only a select few wizards can use.

The top ten flames can only be controlled by third-ring wizards.

But this Karl only needs to become a Sun Ring wizard to use them all.

He is truly the most powerful fire magic genius in the history of the Eastern Region.

No wonder even Wizard Edgar trembled; after all, as someone who strives for results, he always held wizards who were clearly stronger than him in awe.

Wizard Edgar said, “I also skipped the first round for some special reasons, but according to my friends, the academic level of that Wizard Karl from the Black Earth is unbelievably high, and he is decisive in his actions. If any dark wizard dares to provoke him, he immediately takes action. It is said that after you and I left, he once single-handedly fought all the dark wizards along the entire Tianjiang River.”

Admiration shone in Wizard Edgar’s eyes.

“This man is truly a role model for us all.”

Locke asked doubtfully, “Did any dark wizards provoke him?”

Wizard Edgar shook his head repeatedly. “How could that be? What dark wizard would dare to provoke him? He dislikes dark wizards, so he actively seeks them out.”

“Wizard Karl is a very domineering person.”

The red witch Mormodis also exclaimed, “The special magical flames in the top 100 of the Magic Fire Ranking are all miracles combining magic and spiritual touch.” “

And one person can actually command a multitude of flames.” “

If this person really exists, then he truly is the most powerful wizarding genius in the Black Earth Wizarding Land in the past thousand years.

The Black Earth has always been unknown, neither high nor low, but after this person, I’m afraid the entire Wizarding Land’s academies will invest resources in him, wanting to compete with the major higher-level wizarding lands.”

“Our Eastern Region is truly full of talent.”

“Unbelievable.”

Wizard Edgar’s expression was strange as he pointed at Locke and said, “But Locke is the only rival in Wizard Karl’s eyes. I heard that Wizard Karl personally told Wizard Ramses that you are the person he can least understand in this Tianjiang Riverside Competition.”

The red witch Mormodis looked at Locke in surprise.

“Locke, am I not familiar enough with you?

You actually managed to make someone like you wary.”

Locke sighed, rubbing his forehead.

“Let me guess, Ramses must have told everyone he could?”

Wizard Edgar nodded.

Locke sighed.

Ramses was such a blabbermouth, and had such a talent for communication.

He—

Wizard Edgar looked at Locke with a strange expression and asked, “Now everyone agrees that to win this competition, we need to stick together. We need to stick together to resist Wizard Karl and—you—”

Locke was almost speechless.

Did these wizarding geniuses from the Eastern Frontier consider him a genius on par with Wizard Karl?

Damn Ramses.

Locke felt his back teeth ache.

Locke changed the subject, saying, “That young wizard from the Seven Mountains, Wizarding Lands, is younger than all of us, but he’s incredibly composed. I don’t think he’s someone to be trifled with.” “

And then there’s Georgina, the witch, who has the resources of the entire New Textile School of wizards. She might even have a fourth-ring wizard giving her his full support. If it really came down to a competition, she might be stronger than any of us think. Also, Ramses is no ordinary man. And then there are the two twin witches from Asgard in the Azure Wasteland, Wizarding Lands. They seem gentle and weak, but they might be quite formidable.”

Wizard Edgar coughed.

“Even if you tell me that, I don’t have Ramses’ talent for propagation. I can’t spread it.

” The wizard Edgar chanted a spell, and a handful of tree seeds fell to the ground.

“However, I’m confident in myself. Even with a monster like Karl participating, I’m confident I can win the championship, thanks to my treant army.”

“I’ve decided to make the mystical meanings of my treants combinable.”

“For example, the common-quality mystical meaning of a jujube tree treant, ‘Multi-Branch,’ can be combined with the excellent-quality mystical meaning ‘Sacrifice’ of a War Tree.”

A mystical meaning encyclopedia appeared in Edgar’s hand.

Because unless a meaning is unique, different magical plants might share the same meaning.

Therefore, these mystical meanings can be compiled and organized into an encyclopedia for reference.

The mystical meaning a magical plant can acquire depends on the type of garden grotto and magical plant used by the breeder. However, these complex factors are still statistically manageable and controllable. Therefore, skilled breeders can use reference books to imbue their plants with mystical meanings.

It’s worth noting that even though most common and excellent quality mystical meanings have been cultivated by wizards and recorded in encyclopedias, some previously undeveloped meanings, or meanings that have been developed but not recorded by wizards, still occasionally appear.

Some of these meanings are excellent mutations, but many are degraded or unworthy of recording.

Edgar flipped through the encyclopedia of mystical meanings, stopping at a page, and then showed it to Locke.

Locke saw that it was a diagram of the War Tree, using a specially constructed “Palm World: War Star: Garden Cavern” designed for the War Tree, and controlling the magical tide concentration gradient, magic pressure changes, temperature, etc., during cultivation, using a special resource—the [Ares Snail]—it was possible to create the top-tier, excellent-grade mystical meaning of [Sacrifice].

But this was only a possibility.

Because spiritual energy has too many possibilities; otherwise, it wouldn’t be life.

Since it is life, it is difficult to fix.

Slight changes will result in drastically different mystical meanings.

Locke asked the wizard Edgar, “So, have you cultivated this War Tree? Have you created [Jungle]?”

The wizard Edgar coughed. “Not yet.”

“Because my spiritual energy cultivation method is simply not good enough; I can’t use the Palm World: Garden Cavern at all. And even if I could use it, it doesn’t mean I could succeed. Because this cultivation method is quite complex, it would probably require a lot of resources to achieve.

“

“Most importantly, I still don’t know if the cultivation method in this encyclopedia is correct. I’ve already found quite a few errors in it. Some of the research team who wrote the book only half-understood certain parts and were just muddling through. Since it’s an encyclopedia, just general knowledge, no one really holds them accountable.” “

These kinds of books are most prone to problems,”

said Wizard Edgar. “But we can utilize the principle of the spiritual energy exchange between the magical plant forests to allow the spiritual energy of first-ring and second-ring magical plants to also exchange. After all, although first-ring and second-ring magical plants don’t have enough spiritual energy to support their mystical meaning, they still possess spiritual energy.”

“I think we can start from this angle.” “

That’s also why I agreed to develop the Great Windmill Dragon Sparrow with you. I believe that because of Karl and others, you and I, Edgar and Locke, need to communicate and improve each other.”

Edgar said, “If the two of us breeders can communicate, we’ll both be able to surpass that Karl.”

“Therefore, even if you didn’t come to me, I would have come to you,”

said Wizard Edgar. “With our combined efforts, there’s much we can achieve.”

The red-robed witch coughed. “It’s the three of us working together.” “

Locke, Edgar the Wizard’s ideas are basically the same as ours. It’s about using the spiritual energy exchange between magical plants to strengthen the spell models we’ve enchanted onto them, creating a special strengthening relationship. I told you we made the right choice by consulting him.”

Edgar the Wizard raised an eyebrow. “You? I’ve read your articles. You haven’t even written one in Zone 2, and you dare to discuss this with us? Do you even understand what we’re saying?”

The Red Witch was almost speechless.

Locke glanced at her, then explained the Red Witch’s situation to Edgar the Wizard.

After listening, Edgar the Wizard was furious.

“What kind of research group is this? What belongs to someone should belong to them. Piling all the papers on one person just gives that person undeserved honor, while leaving the other wizards in the group unknown and without resources. This Triceratops Garden Academy is truly foolish.”

Locke reminded Edgar, “Edgar, since you left the Blackwater World and returned to the wizarding world, have you found yourself getting easily agitated?”

“From the moment I met you, I felt something was off about you.”

Edgar suddenly turned around, as if provoked, his pupils unusually cold.

“What’s unusual? I’ve simply become more powerful and intelligent.”

“I’ve benefited greatly in the Blackwater World.”

“I’ve never considered myself this intelligent.”

Locke raised an eyebrow. “Edgar, if a Star Ring Wizard acquires too many forms in a short period and can explain everything in the world using their own power system, the more smoothly their power system operates, the more likely they are to become arrogant.”

Wizard Edgar sneered, “What you’re describing doesn’t apply to me. I have the same top-tier meditation method as you. I inherited a top-tier meditation method in the Blackwater World, called Blackwater Top-Tier Meditation Method, which is water magic. However, the essence of learning top-tier meditation methods is to achieve nothingness; nothing else matters.”

“Right now, I’m constantly reducing myself to nothingness, banishing the forms within me. I also reflect on myself daily, asking myself three questions every morning when I wake up—Do I have any shortcomings? What are the research goals of my research group? Is there anything I need to improve?”

Wizard Edgar said. “As soon as I notice my form expanding, I immediately correct myself, and if that doesn’t work, I reduce myself to nothingness. The problem of form expansion that plagues the Star Ring Wizard doesn’t exist in me.”

The Red Witch said, “Reflecting on yourself three times a day? Wizard Edgar is truly focused on the big picture and doesn’t concern himself with trifles.”

“Wizard Locke, let’s continue discussing how to strengthen the Great Windmill Dragon Sparrow. I believe the three of us can definitely make progress from it.” “

Wizard Edgar, is that alright?”

The three put aside their differences and began to discuss.

Half a month later, in Locke’s makeshift laboratory, a large-leaved dragon fern and a tree fern, the Sea Gold Sand, were planted in two glass containers. Locke and Edgar each placed their palms on the containers, then guided the spiritual energy of the two magical plants towards a magical rune suspended in mid-air, manipulated by the Red Witch.

The three exchanged glances, for their magical powers needed to maintain a high degree of synchronization.

Creating a jungle-like state was impossible for each of them individually, but the three of them working together could try.

However, their magical powers had to be synchronized at the millisecond level.

The Red Witch couldn’t guarantee that she could maintain such a high degree of synchronization with Locke and Edgar, so Locke and Edgar each used their innate magical eyes to observe her magical power, thus maintaining this synchronization rate with her.

The spiritual energy of the two first-ring magical plants collided in the Red Witch’s hands.

In an instant, the two spiritual energies collided.

The red-clad witch’s forehead was dripping with sweat. As she manipulated the magical rune, modified from the Twin Branches spell model, the two spiritual energies successfully connected like hinges. She took a half step back, her face filled with barely suppressed, genuine joy.

“It’s truly a pleasure to work with you two.”

People like Locke and Edgar rarely play second fiddle unless someone is holding them back.

So, it’s extremely rare to see the three of them working together like this.

Edgar and Locke looked at the two magical plants. Their spiritual energies communicated and interacted. The surface of the Tree Fern Sea Gold Sand was entwined with the wind and fire of the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow (the windmill version), while the branches and leaves of the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow were covered with the golden sand spore powder of the Tree Fern Sea Gold Sand. The spiritual

energies of the two magical plants were successfully matched!

This meant that from now on, when the two magical plants were used on the same wizard, their magic could be shared, and their power could be mutually amplified, which perfectly matched the definition of the jungle.

Although this was a rudimentary version of a jungle made with a single-ringed magical plant, and still vastly different from a real jungle, it meant the three of them were not far from creating their own genuine jungle.

The red-clad witch said, “If we further develop this, we can reliably increase the power of the two magical plants.

However, there’s a problem: our method is simply a result of our post-natal cultivation of the magical plants. In other words, magical plants cultivated this way are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and their offspring won’t possess these characteristics.” “

In that case, it’s at best a practice piece,”

Locke and Edgar shook their heads.

Locke said, “Through this collaboration, my main goal is to quickly understand what a jungle is, and what the state of spiritual energy interaction within a jungle is. Once I know that, I’ll have my own way to mass-produce these magical plants. I have a new design for spiritual energy cultivation.”

The wizard Edgar added, “Me too.”

“The focus of our cooperation isn’t the result, but the process. This process allows us to share knowledge and helps each of us improve quickly. The inspiration that follows is what truly matters.”

The red-clad witch, Mormodius, shook her head slightly.

“That’s only true for the two of you. Perhaps because I’m not a breeder, I’m completely unmoved by what you’re saying. I’m more curious about what Edgar thought of, and also about Locke’s method for mass-producing this set of magical plants.”

“With the new Bottle World: Garden Cave?”

At this moment, the three suddenly sensed a fluctuation in magical pressure. They immediately left the makeshift laboratory, departed from the camp, and looked up at the sky.

For some reason, Wizard Probus had voluntarily left the Valley of Despair Laboratory and moved away from the barrier Locke had set up in the form of a magical dragon. Beside him was another person, the Frost Witch.

The Frost Witch was currently maintaining the peak of the Moon Ring magical pressure, while Wizard Probus only had the limit of the Star Ring magical pressure.

Because Locke had previously entered two layers of his memory world, his magical pressure was now only at the limit of the Star Ring.

The Frost Witch brandished the second bunch of Frost Spinach she’d brought from the research group. “Once you leave the valley, I can kill you. Probus, this is what you owe me.”

“Sixty years ago, I didn’t kill you with my own hands. Now I can finally kill you openly.”

“My life, for better or for worse, has been ruined because of you—”

The next moment, Probus’s head was severed by her sword.

The Frost Witch turned, her white wizarding robes fluttering, a chilling wind sweeping around her.

Everyone was stunned. No one had expected   this

to happen. Why would Probus leave Despair Valley?

But the instant the Frost Witch turned, Probus, who had been lying on the ground, rose from the ground headless, then cradled his head and placed it on his neck.
