Chapter 917 Supernatural Purgatory and Modification of Basic Textbook
Locke frowned, pondering whether to seek out Hussein to curse the name. However, Hussein was a master of blood curse magic; without blood, he couldn't possibly curse a legendary wizard from five hundred years ago with just a name.
Moreover, the risks of blood curse magic are also very high.
Locke immediately thought of whether he could capture a curse master among the black wizards and force them to curse this person with a name, such as by using black magic.
Locke immediately dismissed the idea; it was too radical. If the wizard were still alive, he would be offending him.
Besides, if he intends to hide his existence, it's unlikely that he could be found through such a simple method.
Warwick glanced at Locke. "Isn't your Golden Crown Mountain's Supernatural Purgatory quite famous? Perhaps you could use your Golden Crown Mountain's Supernatural Purgatory to find this person."
Locke paused for a moment.
Since the Supernatural Purgatory was something from the Senate, he hadn't really looked into it before, so he used the Water Gourd System to search for relevant information.
Locke quickly noticed that the Supernatural Purgatory had the ability to absorb large numbers of the souls of wizards who died in battle, and not just wizards, but also the souls of other supernatural creatures who died in battle.
When a wizard enters the supernatural purgatory with a certain token, it will trigger the causal chain within the supernatural purgatory, drawing all related figures closer to the wizard and launching an attack.
Warwick swallowed hard and looked at Locke, saying, "Well, only the wizards of Golden Crown Mountain truly know the details about this kind of thing. We outsiders don't understand it, and it's impossible for us to collect such detailed information."
Is it feasible?
Locke said, “Yes, I didn’t notice the special nature of this second-circle wizarding realm belonging to the Senate before. The Supernatural Purgatory imprisons the evil souls of many supernatural beings and keeps them in a constant state of battle to atone for their sins. The entire Supernatural Purgatory is built on the foundation of the Power School’s wave theory.”
"Strange... How can something like fluctuations be connected to a supernatural purgatory?"
"Forget it, I'm not a power master, I can't figure it out."
Locke looked at the wizard Warwick and said, "I know what you mean. You mean I should bring this travelogue in, use the characteristics of the supernatural purgatory to guide the beings who fought against Maxwell to catch up with me, and then use archaeological magic to search for Maxwell's traces on them."
Warwick the werewolf could not suppress his greed and desire for the Black and White Grimoires; his eyes blazed with astonishing lust.
"Yes, that's right. That's exactly what I meant."
"Furthermore, I've already found his name for you, which will give you some clues. I believe this isn't the first time you've heard this name. Of course, it's not the same for me either. As long as we work together, we're sure to find a Black and White Codex without joining any wizarding faction or being coerced by anyone!"
Locke looked at old Warwick and said, "Hmm? Do you know anything about the name 'Maxwell'?"
Old Warwick looked at Locke and said, "Alright, I'll tell you. But can you tell me where you learned about Maxwell?"
Locke remained expressionless and said directly, "In that abyss ruin from last time."
“I saw that he left a message on the tomb of the Loom Princess, saying ‘I am visiting the Loom Princess.’”
Old Warwick's face showed a look of sudden realization.
“I see. If that’s the case, then it’s not surprising at all. Maxwell… I just remembered. There’s a legend among us archaeological wizards about an archaeological wizard who doesn’t like to explore other people’s secrets or the heroic deeds of the ancients. He prefers to become the past and become a legend.”
"He left information about himself in various places. He left his name in ancient tombs."
"This name is also information that can only be purchased from other archaeology wizards by spending magic stones. I previously thought it was unnecessary to buy this name, but now it seems that he must have left his name in that ancient tomb last time. That's to be expected, as the wizard Maxwell only leaves his name in the ruins of wizards with the potential to go down in history."
Locke asked, "If you can confirm that this person is the legendary archaeologist who supposedly left his name in various ancient tombs, then what else do you know about him?"
Warwick the wizard shrugged and said, "That's it. And it's not just me; other archaeology wizards probably only have a superficial understanding of him, and much of what they know is incorrect."
Locke nodded; it seemed the clues had returned to Mount Golden Crown.
Locke looked at the entry requirements for the Supernatural Purgatory. Surprisingly, the public information did not mention the entry requirements for this secret realm, and this wizard secret realm was not listed as a second-ring level wizard secret realm entry opportunity that could be exchanged through various channels of Golden Crown Mountain.
In other words, only certain wizards chosen by the Senate can enter this wizarding realm.
Locke thought of Antoine.
Warwick said to Locke, "Locke, weren't you doing quite well at Golden Crown Mountain? You should have a chance to enter the Supernatural Purgatory, right? Let's join forces..."
Locke pondered. If it were a normal wizarding realm, he could gain contribution points by publishing articles to enter it. But the problem was that this wizarding realm was quite special, and it would be difficult to enter by ordinary means.
If I were to go in, firstly, I wasn't sure if I could get in, and secondly, even if I did get in, would I really be able to find Maxwell's trail?
Locke looked at the travelogue in his hand. Although he was an archaeological wizard, he had twice unexpectedly encountered the fake tomb of his ancestor, which seemed quite impressive.
The problem is that the first two times I unintentionally achieved unexpected success.
When I first tried to trace the footsteps of an outstanding archaeological wizard and find his past, present and future, I felt so powerless. The information in my hands was like the string on a kite, which was soaring in a dangerous storm and I didn’t know when it would be suddenly torn off.
If we follow this clue, will we really find the Black and White Codex?
Can the Parallel History Charm truly gather enough data on the sun's trajectory to perfect the Golden Charm and further refine one's two Great Magics?
These are all unknown.
If I had ten or eight years to slowly work things out, that would be fine, but now the outcome of my application for this year's top-tier grant needs to be decided immediately...
Warwick looked at Locke, waiting for Locke's answer.
“Locke, I can call on my friends if you need to. There are a bunch of archaeological wizards who don’t want to join other factions, and they are all waiting for the possibility of finding the Black and White Codex.”
Locke nodded slightly.
"I see."
Locke made up his mind at this moment. Sometimes research is like this: to catch a fish in the vast ocean. It takes some luck, but even more so, decisive judgment and unwavering willpower.
Because only those who persevere to the end under such uncertain circumstances can catch the big fish.
Locke made up his mind and determined that continuing the search would be fine. He nodded to Warwick and then went to find Antoine.
Antoine seemed quite surprised by the water hyacinth system.
"What did you say? You want to enter the supernatural purgatory? What do you want to do in that kind of place?"
"You're not a strength master..."
"That godforsaken place is of no benefit to you whatsoever." "Wait, is it related to the notebook you prepared for the special grant?"
Locke frowned, surprised that Antoine was so meticulous that he couldn't hide anything from him.
I didn't originally intend to say it.
After all, it's still far from over.
Antoine sent him a message: "I'll try to figure something out for you. A second-ring secret realm should require 3,000 second-ring contribution points. You'll need to pay that. I can take care of the rest."
Locke sent him a message with some surprise: "You're helping me like this? You know this is absolutely related to my top-tier funding. Besides, the Supernatural Purgatory is of great importance."
Antoine quickly replied, "What are you talking about? Didn't you also know that the Name Potion was important to my application for special funding, and that you even helped me brew the potion?"
"To put it bluntly, I'm not the kind of person who gets anxious about gains and losses."
On the other side, Antoine sat in front of the wizard Fisher, holding a young and beautiful witch in his left arm, while his right hand rapidly replied on the Water Hyacinth System.
Wizard Fisher couldn't help but frown. He used to think that Antoine was pretending for the Senate's plan, but he didn't expect that Antoine actually liked this kind of thing.
Wizard Fisher couldn't help but cough a few times.
“Antoine, I’m asking you, are you really confident about the Special Grant program? Since only one grant can be approved per year, it’s quite representative of certain things. When wizards from different factions receive the Special Grant, it gives their faction a slightly stronger voice.”
Antoine said, "I didn't. The sudden emergence of the magical plant crystallization technology has affected countless people, and I was caught off guard as well. But there's nothing we can do; this world isn't static, it's constantly changing. Those who cling to outdated ideas are easily eliminated."
"My only hope right now is to use those wizards I tricked to go to the world ruins and find direct evidence that can prove the existence of a super planetary plane."
"That's my only chance of getting this year's top-tier grant."
Wizard Fisher frowned.
"The Senate is planning to retaliate against the Academic Committee, at least to prevent the witch Catherine from carrying out her mission with Mount Golden Crown. Look at all the trouble she's caused: the Rose School's targeting of us, and the Dark World's declaration of war against us."
"Oh, by the way, the practical thinking of the students who recently enrolled is also too much. This is a manifestation of the Red Dragon Academy's excessive influence at Golden Crown Mountain."
"The textbook compilation for the Basic Academy of Jinmian Mountain is about to begin again. If this trend continues... I'm afraid a large part of our popular science section on physical science will be cut, while the popular science sections on breeding science and dragon blood science will be greatly expanded in the textbooks of the Basic Academy of Jinmian Mountain."
Antoine said in a low voice, "This is not good. Textbooks determine the future, and students' opinions will determine the future direction of all disciplines at Golden Crown Mountain for the next hundred years. Isn't the Red Dragon Throne going a bit too far by changing those old textbooks?"
"The textbooks used in the basic college haven't been changed in fifty years."
Wizard Fisher smiled and stroked his white beard, saying, "That's exactly the reason the Throne Queen used to interfere with the compilation of the textbooks. She believes the textbooks are outdated and need to be reformed."
"However, the revision of the teaching materials is something that all three factions have agreed to. This is because revising the teaching materials will strengthen the Golden Crown Mountain Academy's control over all the lower-level junior, intermediate, and senior academies."
Wizard Fischer said to Antoine, "So, on behalf of the Senate, I'd like to ask you: can you secure this special grant?"
"With your strength..."
Antoine said, "It might be possible without the magic plant crystallization technology. You know, the magic plant crystallization technology has infinitely narrowed the gap between me and wizards of the same level as Droma and Brandy."
"This gives them the possibility of defeating me."
"wrong……"
The images of Locke and Zeno flashed through Antoine's mind.
"Without the magic plant crystallization technology, the second-circle wizards of this year's Red Dragon lineage are not to be trifled with."
Antoine said to Wizard Fisher, "I can't make any guarantees. Besides, there's something else I'd like to ask you for help with, Grandpa."
Wizard Fisher asked, "What?"
Antoine laughed and said, "Locke Augustine wants to enter the Supernatural Purgatory. I want you to make the arrangements, Grandpa, so let him go in."
"Make him pay 3,000 Second Ring Contribution Points."
Wizard Fisher was dumbfounded.
How did this turn into aiding the enemy?
Wizard Fisher frowned and fell into deep thought, but seeing Antoine's earnest and persistent gaze, he couldn't very well refuse.
Moreover, he thought carefully about what a breeder could gain by entering the supernatural purgatory...
You get nothing.
Supernatural Purgatory is a place where power masters train their combat skills. Everyone who enters must fight to the death; only death can free one from Supernatural Purgatory.
Ordinary wizards would turn pale at the mere mention of supernatural purgatory, so how could they possibly imagine entering it?
Wizard Fisher pondered for a moment and said, “I know you have a good relationship with Locke Augustine. That’s good. You people under him really need to maintain a certain level of friendship. After all, we are all from the same wizarding university. If there is only hostility between us and no human touch, it will end up like the situation between Little Rest Hill and Quinnjoll.”
"It will also become like us and Lu Xuqiao."
"I understand. Let him enter using the contribution points required for a regular second-ring wizard's secret realm. However, the dangers of entering the Supernatural Purgatory..."
Antoine said, "There's no need to consider this for Locke."
……
In the Witch's Kitchen, in VIP room number 1, the Moon Ring Witch and the Brandy Wizard of the Rose Council were having a pleasant conversation when the Moon Ring Witch stood up.
"Indeed, your qualifications are currently the best among the wizards who want to apply for the top-tier funding project through the magic plant crystallization technology route. I like you very much. But I need to wait a while."
The brandy wizard's smile was forced.
“No need to wait. Wizard Zeno is stubborn and not the best choice. You can give me the project, and I will definitely use it to apply for the Golden Crown Mountain’s top-tier grant program this year.”
