A week after discussing the comrcial contract with Lady Irina, in Locke's simple laboratory.
Locke had now completed the mana grafting with Sea Gold Sand and Fire Pearl Tomato Flower, and had constructed three magic spells from the Scorching Gold Sand Flow series in his consciousness sea—[Gold Sand Torrent], [Gold Sand Bullets], and [Flowing Gold Fern Spear].
Three First Circle level plant-based magic spells transford into planets in Locke's consciousness sea, revolving around his consciousness core that symbolized the sun.
The three golden magical plant spells each had suitable ranges of application.
Locke looked at this scene with satisfaction. After becoming a formal wizard, his mory and comprehension had been greatly enhanced, so learning these First Circle magic spells had beco extrely fast.
Of course, this was just learning by rote.
After learning these three Scorching Gold Sand Flow series spells, he still needed to continuously fine-tune the spell models according to his own situation in the future to suit his mana nature, magical pressure fluctuations, and soul characteristics.
This step was the mont that truly tested a wizard's foundation.
Because learning wasn't the hardest part—creating was.
Learning was just chanically replicating things that already existed in this world, while creating was building new things on the foundation of existing things.
And this step was the most difficult mont.
The wizard apprentice stage was mainly about learning, while First Circle wizards needed to begin their own research and creation.
A formal wizard continuously fine-tuning the spell models in their hands could increase the power of these spell models. So spell model optimization could give wizards the possibility of turning defeat into victory even when their magical pressure was lower than other wizards.
And this step required continuous accumulation.
Locke put away the Sea Gold Sand in the laboratory. "After learning these three First Circle spells, it's best to find soone to test them out with."
"That way I can better master these spells. But in Chira Trading Market, those wizard apprentices who have beco debt slaves and serve as punching bags are at most first-class wizard apprentices, and still relatively weak."
"Who should I look for?"
He should master all the Scorching Gold Sand Flow series magic spells, as well as the First Circle plant magic Fla Bright Spirit Qi and the two supporting spells for Executioner’s Hamr Mushroom.
Locke thought about it. "Forget it. Suitable people are either inappropriate in status or completely unable to serve as my opponent."
"Resources in the southeastern quadrant are too scarce at the First Circle stage. In the southeastern quadrant, First Circle wizards are no longer in the cultivation range. The academy needs First Circle wizards to give back to the wizard academy more."
After thinking about it, Locke decided to first go to the White Wizard Association to submit his resu.
Teacher Halen Vera had told him the principles of submitting resus.
That was to be nurous and broad.
Because the Star Domain Sea had a vast area with many wizard academies and academy cities inside, who knew which team might suddenly need a wizard whose conditions matched his own quite well?
So don't doubt yourself. Even if your conditions looked inadequate, you had to bravely go submit them.
What if soone wanted you?
Whether it was a trap or not, that could be discussed then. After all, this was mutual selection. He could also choose not to go.
So he had to constantly submit resus. Anyway, he couldn't leave gaps. Whether it was Star Domain Sea academies, Academies of True Knowledge, or at least finding a decent job, he had to first send so of his resus there.
The White Wizard Association had a specialized agency responsible for submitting resus to various wizard lands. He needed to go to the White Wizard Association's [Wizard Dispatch Departnt] to submit resus.
And this required recomndation from at least one wizard who held a local wizard ntor teaching position. So Locke contacted Halen Vera on the gray mist stone tablet.
'Teacher Halen, I want to go to the Wizard Dispatch Departnt today to submit my resu. Can you give a letter of recomndation?'
Locke didn't wait long. Halen Vera always replied to his ssages very quickly.
Three ssages quickly appeared on Locke's gray mist stone tablet—
'Yes, very happy to. The director of the Wizard Dispatch Departnt is my old classmate, old friend, and also a wizard from our Lilith's Cottage.'
'However, I need to trouble you, Locke, to wait for soone. He also needs to go to the Wizard Dispatch Departnt to submit his resu recently. You two can go together.'
'Wait at your residence. I'll have him co over right away.'
Locke frowned. He hadn't recently heard of anyone in Halen Vera's network becoming a formal wizard.
Moreover, even after becoming a formal wizard, many people could find work through private channels.
For example, through so private channels within Wizard Halen Vera's network, they could obtain information in advance about certain research groups at certain wizard academies recruiting, then could send their resus in advance.
This was the normal choice for students who graduated from Halen Vera's side.
The reason he couldn't find a teaching position through Halen Vera's network was only because he wanted to go to the Star Domain Sea.
It was basically impossible to use connections at the Star Domain Sea.
To use connections, the price to pay wasn't sothing a First Circle wizard could afford.
"Who could it be?" Locke waited at his residence for half an hour.
After half an hour, his servants told him a visitor had arrived outside.
When Locke pushed open the magic door of his residence, his facial expression imdiately beca strange.
He saw soone he hadn't expected standing in front of his door.
The person was Hussein, the forr first in the wizard candidate sequence of the Blood Curse Court.
At this ti, Hussein wore a white wizard robe. Combined with his appearance, it seed quite out of place, always giving the illusion that he would take off the white robe and change into a black robe the next mont.
Locke noticed that Hussein actually had formal wizard level magical pressure now. He didn't know the exact amount, but it wasn't the just over one thousand of ordinary wizards when they advanced to formal wizard. It was estimated to be over fifteen hundred.
Locke frowned. "Did Lilith's Cottage give you the Sacrifice Potion? Are you Teacher Halen Vera's informant?"
"So you're saying you betrayed information that the Blood Curse Court was going to attack Lilith's Cottage, causing the Black Wizard Alliance to fall into a disadvantage."
Hussein remained elegant and refined, like a nobleman in the dark night. He smiled bitterly. "Worthy of being Locke Augustine. You've guessed almost everything. Actually, I've always been a white wizard with a sense of justice."
Locke pressed his lips together and frowned slightly. "Your joke is very interesting."
This guy had more than one death on his hands, right? According to the White Wizard Association's laws, he should have been imprisoned in wizard prison long ago. But he had made great contributions this ti, so the White Wizard Association probably granted him special amnesty.
Hussein beca serious. "I really am an undercover agent developed by Teacher Halen Vera. My ntor at the Blood Curse Court, in order to make work for her, withheld advancent potions from and wouldn't let beco a formal wizard."
"I clearly could have advanced long ago. My ntal power even reached 900, but I couldn't advance because I lacked advancent potions."
"I waited bitterly for years, thinking she probably didn't want to let beco a formal wizard at all. At that point, I only had one path to choose—kill her."
"Once she died, the blood curse she planted on would disappear."
"Freedom at last."
"So we should now be considered on the sa side. According to my agreent with the White Wizard Association, I'm now Teacher Halen Vera's student."
Locke looked deeply at Hussein. "When did you choose to side with Lilith's Cottage?"
Hussein hesitated, then said, "After eting you for the first ti, that is, during the period before our second eting at the treatnt center. At that ti, my Mother-Child Giant Corpse Blood Curse didn't kill one of your Lilith's Cottage apprentices because by then, I already had an agreent with your academy that I couldn't kill any more white wizards. And those I had killed before, if I could make great contributions, wouldn't count."
Hussein said, "At that ti, when I used the Mother-Child Giant Corpse Blood Curse on your academy's wizard apprentices, it was just to convey information to Teacher Halen Vera and your Dean Thompson."
"My blood curse court wizard ntor left several curses on for comprehensive surveillance. Under normal circumstances, I fundantally couldn't convey information. I could only succeed by hiding information in the blood curse thod."
"I hid the information in the higher geotric patterns of the redundant curse formulas in the blood curse. This way, others would find it extrely difficult to see. But even so, I still took enormous risks. If discovered, I would end up like Sephilin."
"At the sa ti, if I didn't successfully transmit it, I might be misunderstood by your academy's upper managent. But fortunately, Teacher Halen Vera had other undercover black wizard apprentices. Through him, the information I transmitted was successfully decoded."
Locke imdiately guessed a secret hidden in those years. "So at that ti, Anglon didn't remove your Mother-Child Giant Corpse Blood Curse. After you confird the information was successfully transmitted, you voluntarily removed the curse yourself."
"Is that right?"
"That's right. You guessed correctly." Hussein looked at Locke with surprise. He hadn't expected Locke to react so quickly, imdiately guessing the truth of those years through limited information.
Hussein said, "Locke, what's with that expression?"
Locke shook his head. "I just didn't expect Anglon to be even weaker than I thought. I thought he at least had so real ability."
