Chapter 712 The Hope of the Masses: Wizard Smith

Georgina, the witch, was in the magical realm, operating her Destiny Weaving Machine. She had considered attacking Locke several times, but restrained herself each time.

Therefore, each time she prepared to act, the depths of the Destiny Weaving Machine warned her.

The Destiny Weaving Machine’s blueprint magic is the Three-Shuttle Weaving Spell from textile magic. It can weave an existence’s spirit through three weaving methods to form a specific cycle of fate, essentially a rare offensive spell in the new textile science.

It can directly weave the existence’s spirit, indirectly affecting the opponent’s luck.

Similarly, the Destiny Weaving Machine also utilizes numerous spell models from the school of prophecy, so it also has a certain ability to sense danger and avoid disaster.

Therefore, Georgina dared not take advantage of Locke’s battle with them to suddenly attack Locke, or his priestess, forcing him to dispel his saintly incarnation.

Thinking of this, Georgina froze.

Wait, she still had a chance to turn the tables.

This stemmed from the spell she had previously cast on the existence’s spirit on the witch Smith—the Three-Shuttle Weaving Spell.

The Prisoner’s Robe worn by Wizard Smith was a prison garment woven by her using the Three Shuttles of Fate.

Wizard Smith was currently enduring all the misfortunes within her Fate Loom; conversely, if Smith were unlucky enough, she could be paid for with corresponding luck.

She would gain a portion of fate energy out of thin air.

The Fate Loom behind Georgina the Witch began to work, its shafts spinning and shuttles moving. She transformed her magical pressure into threads, then began weaving a new magical garment using the Three Shuttles of Fate.

This was the second garment in the Prisoner’s Robe series, and part of the Prisoner’s Robe set.

It was a large, wandering judge’s robe, but only temporarily modified from the Prisoner’s Robe.

Georgina the Witch put on the garment.

Clothes are a person’s second skin; therefore, wearing different clothes alters a person’s spiritual existence accordingly.

A person wearing a judge’s robe is seen as a judge.

A person wearing a prisoner’s robe is seen as a criminal.

This is also the principle of the Loom of Fate, viewing clothing as a second skin, elevating the concept of clothing—this is the core thinking concept of the new textile science, and the core part of its doctrine.

【Upgraded Thinking】

This means elevating the meaning of textile items like clothing when considering problems, thereby increasing the status of textile science and deepening the discipline.

Georgina the Witch said, “Right now, as long as Wizard Smith is unlucky enough as a prisoner, I will be lucky enough.”

“As long as Wizard Smith is lucky enough, I will be unlucky enough.”

“I’m pessimistic about Wizard Smith; as long as he’s unlucky enough, I’ll gain enough luck to fill my Loom of Fate. I can use luck as an existential spirit, thus escaping my current predicament.”

The key still lies with Wizard Smith.

As long as he’s unlucky enough, or something truly unlucky happens, she will be lucky enough.

But conversely, if Wizard Smith gains power and is lucky enough, she will have to pay double the misfortune.

Her misfortune will have no upper limit.

Georgina the Witch, on the verge of elimination, hastily devised this extremely dangerous method.

This method offers immense rewards, but also carries immense risks.

The reason is simple: Wizard Smith’s misfortune is finite; his greatest misfortune is death.

Once he dies, she can gain the luck of a second-circle wizard’s death, using this luck as the total magical pressure of the Loom of Fate.

She can then acquire capital.

However, Wizard Smith’s luck is limitless; luck has no end. Once he becomes lucky, she will bear twice the misfortune during the spell’s duration.

Therefore, Georgina is taking a huge gamble.

She completely underestimates Wizard Smith, daring to use the Prisoner of Fate set, betting her luck against his.

Georgina said, “Wizard Smith, whether I can turn this around depends entirely on you.”

“Please have some bad luck.”

“Please give me a big one.”

…

Meanwhile, Wizard Edgar pondered for a long time, realizing that the only chance to turn the tide still lay with Wizard Smith.

‘Lock avoided my traps twice; his intuition and insight are too strong.’ “He’s not someone I can easily fall for. He’s a strong opponent I have to fight with all my might, and even then, I might not be able to win.”

“Unlike that idiot Smith.”

“And right now, the only one who can trigger my counter-strategy is Smith. But his magical pressure isn’t enough.” “

What should I do? If his magical pressure isn’t enough, he won’t be able to trigger my counter-strategy either. I’ll still lose.”

“Has it really come to this, and I’m truly helpless? Damn it.”

Edgar thought to himself, feeling somewhat unwilling.

He hadn’t even used his full strength, and now he was about to lose.

…

Below the Silent Throne, the audience watched this earth-shattering scene, holding their breath, all focused on

the moment. Many wizards who weren’t originally in the stands received reminders from their students and rushed over using various means of transportation.

The competition had reached its climax.

Seven Sun Ring wizard judges were commenting on Locke’s ultimate magic.

“Although this researcher from Golden Crown Mountain seems to overwhelm the other three contestants with his total magic pressure, it’s not just that. The structure of his ultimate spell is extremely unique and perfect. His ultimate spell has enormous potential, and its current structure is also quite good.”

“His Evolution Moon destroyed Edgar’s Shadow Fern and Smith’s Meteor from Beyond the Heavens after only three uses. Even if he were at the same level of total magic pressure as those two, I believe he could defeat the combined might of Meteor from Beyond the Heavens and Shadow Fern.”

“This is entirely a difference in structural level…”

A Sun Ring Wizard nodded in agreement. “Within the Golden Triangle standard, the instantaneous magic pressure output of Evolution Moon doubling is already quite good.”

“It’s considered above average.”

“In terms of energy compatibility, it’s also quite good, ranking in the upper-middle range among the extreme magic models in the competition.”

“The key lies in its energy dissipation.”

The seven judges exchanged glances. As judges of the Extreme Magic Modeling Competition, they naturally possessed a high level of professionalism and instantly recognized the biggest advantage of the Evolutionary Moon compared to other extreme magics.

One of the judges spoke, and his voice was broadcast throughout the arena as part of the competition’s explanation. “You see, the Evolutionary Moon absorbs fragments of consciousness energy from magical plants, recovers energy, and uses a special spiritual mist to transport and store energy.”

“Therefore, its energy dissipation is inherently low.”

“Essentially, it has the lowest energy dissipation among the four participating extreme magics. The Destiny Weaving Machine has the problem of Destiny Network disturbances, the Celestial Star has the problem of gravitational tides from the astral plane, and the Time Shadow Fern has the problem of spatial instability in the Land of Ten Thousand Spirits. But the Evolutionary Moon is too much like a real moon, so its stability is very high, and it doesn’t have these problems.”

“And that special spiritual mist further reduces the energy dissipation problem in the intermediate process.”

“But what truly sets them apart is the synergy between the Kingdom Domain and the Moon of Evolution. The Moon of Evolution gathers and disperses energy through the Kingdom Domain, increasing efficiency by at least three to five times while minimizing energy dissipation!” “

That’s why he can fully recover his magical pressure in a single breath. That’s why the Moon of Evolution consistently maintains the advantage in battles against other ultimate magic.”

“That’s why the Moon of Evolution can penetrate the deepest part of the extraterrestrial meteor with a single beam of moonlight, destroying its most vulnerable point.”

“The Moon of Evolution performed exceptionally well across all eight indicators of ultimate magic. Its weakest point was probably the instantaneous magical pressure amplification rate.”

“But it’s still quite good. The academic level displayed by Golden Crown Mountain this time is indeed very high.”

The seven Sun Ring Wizards praised Locke’s ultimate magic highly, showering him with compliments. The addition

of the Kingdom Domain was undoubtedly the finishing touch.

Furthermore, the Evolutionary Moon, resembling a true lunar plane, with its dark side and lunar plants, allowed Locke to gain an extra Great Magic Rune compared to others when facing 16,000 magic pressure.

These are all noteworthy points.

Although it’s only a nascent Great Magic, it has at least laid a good foundation. As long as

its subsequent development doesn’t falter, after completing four forgings, the final form of that Great Magic will definitely be quite impressive, reaching a high level.

And if it continues to develop well and maintains this momentum, it might even have the potential to be included in the exemplary Great Magic examples of the Cloud Marsh Wetlands.

A Great Magic possesses both future potential and current power.

Only when a Great Magic completes four forgings and is fully finalized can its future potential be fully realized.

That Great Magic is truly complete.

Therefore, only Great Magic that has undergone four forgings and is fully finalized has the opportunity to be included in the exemplary examples of the White Wizard Association of the Cloud Marsh Wetlands.

This is a tremendous honor.

The fact that the seven judges were saying Locke’s Great Magic had a chance to enter the realm in the future sparked heated discussions among the wizards.

At Kungudin Academy, a fervent emotion flashed in Wizard Mike’s eyes. “No wonder it’s Locke. I didn’t expect his Evolution Moon to be so powerful. Is it a model of excellent Great Magic from Cloud Marsh Wetlands?”

“I want to go in too.”

His teacher smiled, “Mike, that’s an honor only Sun Ring wizards have. It’s good that you have the ambition, but it’s still too far out of your reach.”

“However, that kid from Golden Crown Mountain’s Great Magic… did he really create it himself? Or is it the result of Golden Crown Mountain’s years of research…”

“That moon is almost a true lunar plane, with such low energy dissipation, and then with the help of the Kingdom Domain, further reducing energy dissipation, the level of its construction is almost unreplicable by our Kungudin Academy…”

The wizard fell into deep thought.

On the other side, two second-ring wizards at the Tower of Transmutation exchanged a glance, then exhaled a breath of stale air.

The two of them had watched Locke rise to prominence, from an ordinary first-ring wizard to someone whose magical pressure far surpassed theirs.

They sighed in admiration.

In fact, it wasn’t just his magical pressure; his potential for and current structure of ultimate magic far exceeded theirs as well.

The structure itself felt utterly unattainable.

Even the moon, almost identical to the Moon Plane, was something they couldn’t achieve.

Let alone anyone else.

They sighed, exchanged a glance, and gave a wry smile.

This was a case of watching the competition and feeling frustrated.

But it was understandable. Locke was a researcher at Golden Crown Mountain, with a limitless future, while they were merely prospective wizard instructors at the Tower of Transmutation, even if they had only signed contracts to enjoy the benefits of wizard instructors, and their teaching positions, recognized by the White Wizarding Association, were only lecturer mages.

However, witnessing the rise of a young wizarding star was still quite rewarding.

Locke was a once-in-a-century genius for Golden Crown Mountain.

In the city of the Demon Nexus, the witch Camilla was stunned as she listened to the wizard beside her praise Locke as a once-in-a-century genius of Mount Golden Crown.

She looked up in astonishment at Locke in the competition.

“No way. Is that bastard really that good? Could it be that I just spent too much time with him, leading to my misjudgment? Actually, he truly is a super genius, even for Mount Golden Crown.”

The witch Camilla’s eyes flickered as she looked at Locke’s Moon of Evolution. In a sense, she had participated in the construction of this highly praised great magic.

She was the one who provided Locke with his natal magic porcelain.

The witch Camilla sighed. “I really didn’t see that he would be this kind of person back then.”

The teacher beside the witch Camilla asked curiously, “Didn’t see anything back then?”

The witch Camilla coughed. “Nothing. I just felt that when he fought alongside me in the magic combat competition, he didn’t seem this good.”

On the other side, the leaders of the four school teams had different reactions.

The leader of the Storm Tower team looked grim.

The Moon Witch of Bonifacius University also frowned; she seemed surprised that their new textile department, which was just about to use the competition for publicity, would have Locke suddenly appear at this crucial moment.

This was troublesome.

Rush the wizard of Quinnjoll was even more displeased, his eyes narrowed as he stared at the competition screen.

Chad Schultz the wizard clenched his fist. “Locke, well done. Hurry up and win this match!”

Rush and the others’ faces darkened further.

Meanwhile, in the Silent Dimension, Locke entered the special access space of the Mind Network.

It was a virtual chessboard.

The entire chessboard rested on the mortal realm.

“Hmm? So this is the core of the Mind Network,” Locke said, standing on the chessboard.

On the chessboard were many empty spaces, each containing a chess piece, representing different identities.

The most common pieces were soldiers and civilians.

Next were fewer pieces, such as merchants, nobles, and so on.

There are also some unique pieces, which are clearly in some special positions, one of the most special positions being the Emperor.

“I see. Within the mental network are chess pieces representing one’s mental status and identity, corresponding to one’s status in the mortal world. You are the Emperor. Therefore, you should be in the very center of the chessboard.”

“These are all symbols corresponding to the mind.”

“No, this mental network contains many special chess pieces the same size as the Emperor. This means that originally, this mental network… shouldn’t have been like this at all.”

Locke looked at the nine special chess pieces, each the size of the Emperor.
