Chapter 400: Special Resources of the Mage Plane

Alicia and Locke walked into the City of the Holy Hall of Magic together with the great wizard Sura.

At this time, since the demons had retreated, the martial law in the city of the Holy Hall of Magic had been lifted, and the magical light on the major magic towers had completely disappeared.

Locke looked at these mage towers, which were different from the wizard towers.

Magic eyes were suspended on the tops of these towers, transforming into colorful spiritual eye-shaped virtual magic models, as if a magic eye had grown out of the top of the tower, and some magical light was still rotating around these magic eyes.

This is because mages rely entirely on external forces to cast spells, so the energy core of the mage tower is placed outside.

Those spell eyes are the energy cores of these wizard towers. There are a large number of magic circuits inside the wizard towers that amplify magical energy. Except for the energy core, the other parts are basically a simplified version of the wizard tower.

At this moment, the magic eyes of those mage towers all turned to Locke, or rather, the back of his hand.

Some indigenous mages in the Holy City of Magic have already noticed the blue mark on the back of Locke’s hand, and anger appeared on their faces.

“That’s the Son of Prophecy. Everyone, prepare…”

The next moment, the great wizard Sura snapped his fingers, and at the same time some traces of bark appeared on his face, as well as some wood grain patterns that only tree demon elders had.

It is obvious that his clone is not centered on the bloodline of the scorpion girl, but on the tree demon elder.

Locke had seen a tree demon before. A tree demon was imprisoned in the deepest part of Witch Sophia’s magical creature breeding room.

The tree demon elder is even more powerful than the tree demon. He is fortunate enough to live beyond the tree demon’s limit of 300 years and can still survive. Due to some unexpected coincidences, he broke through the limit of his bloodline and became a tree demon of a one-ring creature, so he is called the tree demon elder.

At this time, the clone of the great wizard Sura activated the bloodline of the tree demon elder and cast a powerful human charm spell on the entire city.

This city was originally founded by him, so he left countless hidden tricks in the city. When he was teaching these indigenous students, due to his personality, he did not trust them at all, and left countless traps for them while they were studying.

Therefore, the entire city, tens of thousands of mages of different levels, including the thirty magic saints who were equivalent to first-ring wizards, were all controlled by the clone of the great wizard Sura in an instant.

All the natives had dull eyes, then turned stiffly and started doing their own things.

The entire city was transformed into a puppet city of the great wizard Sura. Under the influence of the powerful human charm, every native became a puppet of the great wizard Sura, and unknowingly, they even thought that they had free will.

A Grand Master-level mage scholar from the Mage Saint Hall wrote on the first floor of the city’s central hall: “The Mage Saint Hall has defeated those monsters of unknown origin for the 45th time. Today is a day of great victory, representing a new chapter in the three hundred years of civilization in the Mage Plane.”

“Thanks to the great Sage Sura, who brought us civilization and magic.”

The Great Wizard Sura glanced at these puppets and explained to Locke and Alicia, “I don’t have much patience with these natives. Some of their memories were simply written directly into their brains by me using a powerful human charm.”

“The main bloodline core of this body of mine is that of the elder tree demon, along with the bloodlines of ten tree demon subspecies, forming a physical clone equivalent to a wizard at the crystallization stage. However, this bloodline’s achievements are limited, and it will stop at the crystallization stage, unless I can find an advanced meditation method that matches the tree demon bloodline.”

“However, this is not easy. Many first-ring wizard geniuses have sacrificed their lives for the academy for so many years just for a high-level meditation method. How can I just want it?”

The Great Wizard Sura said, “Using powerful human charms, we can directly control them and blur many irrational things.”

“This way, no one will doubt my identity. No one in the history of this plane will ever wonder how I suddenly appeared from such a corner.”

The great wizard Sura brought the two of them into the beggar version of the White Dragon Tower in this plane. This was actually a proper large wizard tower. There was an elemental fission well inside the wizard tower, which was constantly drawing energy from this plane to supply energy to the wizard tower and the entire city.

The first thing Locke saw when he entered the wizard tower was a large number of thick black pipes at the bottom of the tower, huge hot steam, and wizards who were constantly repairing these pipes.

“This is… because the Mage Plane is only a low-magic world, it can’t support the energy of this wizard tower. You have no choice but to connect the wizard tower’s pipes to the center of the earth in this plane and forcibly draw energy from the center of the plane?”

Locke guessed.

The Great Wizard Sura smiled and said, “Well, you are very smart, indeed. So I need a large number of manpower to repair the numerous pipes in this wizard tower. It would be best if these manpower can use magic.”

“This is one of the reasons why I taught these people magic. So, you really should trust me. I believe sincerity is the most precious quality in this world. Therefore, I am sincere to everyone.”

“Look…” The great wizard Sura, Locke and others stepped on the floating stairs. As the floating stairs went up, they saw many rooms inside the wizard tower. Deep in those rooms with fences, there were some magical creatures unique to this plane, as well as some unique treasures and even unique plants.

“These are all treasures I collected from this plane. There are 237 species of magical creatures unique to this plane. I have collected them all and carefully studied them to determine if any of them could be of use to me. Furthermore, new species of magical creatures are always discovered every few years.”

“Besides that, I also unearthed a special water resource called the Boiling Silver Spring underground. Soaking the body in this special water will completely heal any hidden injuries to the body and soul. At the same time, the efficiency of meditation will increase several times. Furthermore, for us Bloodline Refiners, this water is a treasure that can accelerate the fusion of the complex bloodlines within the body.”

The great wizard Sura said, “Unfortunately, this special water resource has an expiration date. It must be used within a week of being excavated, otherwise it will lose its effect and become poisonous.”

“So resources are precious. I only have one left. Alicia, go use it.”

The floating staircase stopped, and the great wizard Sura pointed to a bathtub filled with a silver liquid like mercury water at the end of the corridor in front.

Alicia looked at Locke. “But, Grandfather…”

The Great Wizard Sura smiled fondly at him. “Don’t worry, I have my own arrangements.”

“Locke, I have also unearthed a treasure that is a treasure to you potion masters – a flame of the primordial fire.”

The great wizard Sura waved his hand, and a door in the corridor ahead opened, revealing a flame restrained by lines of magical power.

“Locke, now you should understand why I spent over three hundred years building the Mage Hall City. It’s because this city can help me gather so many resources from this plane. Similarly, if you can help me enable those mages to cast first-level magic, this precious flame of primordial fire, which may very well be the only one in this plane, will be yours.”
