Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 242 The Dark Wizard's Soul Imprint and the News of the Silmaril

The two dark wizards recruited by the Dark Tower, though they looked fierce and gloomy, were actually killing the sea beasts that attacked them along the way.

None of the wizard apprentices on the ship were injured.

These two dark wizards, seemingly protecting the wizarding apprentices, Ronan knew that they didn't want the apprentices to die meaningless deaths.

Moreover, whether in the kingdom or in the Wizarding Isles, those with wizarding aptitude are ultimately a minority.

In the cities of the Wizarding Islands, Ronan still encountered quite a few people who lacked wizarding qualifications.

Here, those without wizarding qualifications are at the very bottom of society, almost no different from slaves.

Wizarding organizations also need people with wizarding qualifications to work for them or become their experimental subjects.

Ronan and his companions arrived safely at the Dark Tower, the organization of the Dark Wizards.

There are six islands within the area of ​​the Dark Tower.

As soon as Ronan stepped out of the cabin, he saw that there were many wizard towers on the island, like a forest.

These wizard towers are all made of black magic crystals, and they exude an eerie aura.

The most eye-catching feature is the wizard tower, the tallest structure in the center of the island.

This wizard tower is several times the height of the other towers, standing like a giant overlooking them.

At the top of each wizard's tower is a fiery red gem.

It emitted a fiery glow, illuminating the surroundings.

From the source energy in his hands, Ronan and his two companions knew that the firelight was a defensive measure of the Dark Tower.

If other wizards who are not strong enough rashly enter the area of ​​the Dark Tower, they will be turned to ashes the moment they touch the fire.

As they approached the Dark Tower area, the black wizard cast a defensive spell on each of them.

It made them feel a cool energy flowing around them.

It seems that this defensive magic is specifically designed to defend against this fire.

Ronan sensed the presence of some kind of soul imprint within this defensive magic.

It was then known that this defensive magic could only be used by wizards who had their soul imprinted in the Dark Tower.

After disembarking, the new blood, including Ronan, followed the two dark wizards into the island.

The island's shrine towers are black, while the floor tiles are bluish-brown.

Where they passed, there were not only wizards, but also some ordinary people working.

After walking for about half an hour, they arrived at a wizard's tower.

The wise wizard chanted a few incantations, and the defensive barrier of the wizard tower was removed.

Then, he led Ronan and the others inside.

There are also wise wizards in this wizard's tower.

After leading Ronan and the others to the hall, the two wizards who had brought them there handed them over to a wizard of true knowledge before going up the stairs.

This sorcerer of true knowledge was also a man with a gloomy face.

He wore a black wizard's robe, was bald, and had blue patterns tattooed on his head.

"you come up."

The dark wizard, in a rough, hoarse voice, called over a wizard apprentice.

The wizard apprentice was a seventeen-year-old boy who looked delicate and frail.

Startled by the black wizard's call, I didn't know what he was going to do, but feeling uneasy due to his presence, I walked over.

Upon reaching the black wizard, the wizard opened his hand and placed it lightly on the young man's forehead, saying, "If you feel unwell later, do not resist."

Having said that, he began to sing.

Ronan could sense that nearby energy particles were slowly gathering towards the young man's forehead.

He knew that this was what the Hand of Source Energy had said: the Dark Tower would imprint a soul mark on every wizard.

This is actually how the dark wizarding organization on the Wizarding Isles treats its members.

The wizarding organizations on the outskirts of Wizard Islands have reported this to Ronan.

Ronan had no solution because he had never encountered anyone marked with a soul imprint.

The only advice is that if wizard apprentices are unfortunately assigned to a dark wizarding organization, they should simply follow the organization's orders and refrain from taking any other unnecessary actions. Once a solution is found, someone will come to them.

He is about to have a soul imprint implanted in him, which will be a good opportunity to study how to remove this soul imprint.

One by one, the wizard apprentices, filled with trepidation, had their souls marked by the Dark Tower.

Paul stepped forward, was marked with the mark of his soul, and returned.

Next up is Ronan.

Ronan stepped forward and suppressed his soul power.

He allowed the bald, knowledgeable wizard before him to imprint a soul mark on his soul.

When imprinting the soul mark, Ronan used the Primordial Chaos to record the incantation chanted by the True Knowledge Wizard, as well as the flow rate of the timekeeping magic.

After the mark was applied, he used the Hongmeng Yi to analyze the magical array contained within it, and then he knew how to remove the soul mark.

After all, he was a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, with a strong spirit.

For him, resolving the issue is easy, but resolving it for others without contacting them is more difficult.

Once the mark is removed, it becomes even more difficult to disguise the soul imprint again to deceive the wizarding organization.

Ronan felt that this was what he would be researching for the next period of time.

After the last wizard apprentice was also marked with the soul imprint, the room assignments began.

Their room was inside another small wizard tower.

The room was simple, only about 20 square meters, with a narrow toilet.

There were no magic stones or magical artifacts for lighting in the room, only a white candle as thick as a baby's arm.

In the corner of the room, there were several white candles, which were reused after one of the candles had burned out.

When Ronan met these wizards, he assigned them rooms, and the dark wizards didn't take them to classes or conduct research.

I knew they were here to help the dark wizards fight.

He heard from the android witch of the Source Hand that behind the Dark Tower was a wizarding family.

People from other families actually assist this wizarding family.

Apart from servants who lacked wizarding qualifications, these new recruits constituted the lowest level of the Dark Tower.

After they were branded with their soul marks, they were left here to await the Dark Tower's arrangements.

Ronan sat on the cold stone bed and immersed his mind in the soul imprint.

He then carefully analyzed the magical structure of the soul imprint.

He wanted to create a replica of a soul imprint.

Even after being branded with this soul mark, the Dark Tower still showed that he had the soul mark.

Moreover, he can choose his location anywhere, according to his own preferences.

'In that case, my mark needs to be infused with some spatial magic,'

'Cause the newly created mark to cause a spatial offset in the sorcery used to detect soul marks within the Dark Tower.'

Coincidentally, he was searching for the world after ascension in the world of cultivation. During this time, he spent a great deal of time studying spatial magic.

He read a great many books on spatial magic, all of which were stored in the primordial chaos.

I would occasionally pull out HarmonyOS and use its intelligent analysis to study its contents.

Ronan and his companions remained inside the Black Wizard Tower. Servants brought them food three times a day.

Although their living conditions were not very good, the food they ate was of excellent quality, consisting of sea animal meat.

However, the cooking method is very simple; it is just boiled and no seasoning is added.

The meat is quite tough, but Ronan has an exceptionally strong ability to chew and digest.

However, it didn't taste very good when I ate it.

After chewing it a few times, Ronan placed it in one of his storage magical artifacts and stopped eating it.

Anyway, at his current level, it makes no difference whether he eats or not.

He eats solely to satisfy his appetite.

Now, the taste and texture of this sea monster meat are not good, and in terms of medicinal value, it is not as good as the rare and precious herbs in his storage bag, so he doesn't want to eat it.

Three days passed, and no one called them.

Ronan then forged the soul imprint.

Immediately, he branded the new soul imprint onto himself.

Then, he condensed his spirit into a blade and severed the soul mark that the black wizard had branded him with a single stroke.

Next, he began to study how to imprint a mark on the soul of another without touching them, and how to remove that mark.

Soon, he remembered the talismans of the cultivation world.

Since he became a big shot in various sects and factions in the cultivation world, he has learned many techniques from the leaders of those sects.

Among the talismans, there is a "talisman for suppressing evil spirits" and a "talisman for breaking hysteria".

"Amulets of warding off evil spirits" are used to curse people.

Knowing someone's birth date and time, drawing it on talisman paper, or mixing someone's blood or hair into talisman ink to draw a talisman, this "suppression talisman" can be effective against that person.

The "hysteria-breaking talisman" is used to break curses.

The method of drawing a "hysteria-dispelling talisman" is more complicated than that of drawing a "suppressing talisman".

The "hysteria-dispelling talisman" does not require any catalyst, and its effectiveness depends on the skill of the person who draws it.

If the person who draws the talisman is skilled enough, they can break any curse.

If a Qi Refining cultivator casts a curse on someone, a Foundation Establishment cultivator's "Debunking Talisman" can break the curse.

Ronan would naturally not reveal the method of drawing talismans in the wizarding world.

Therefore, he planned to use parchment to draw his own magical runes, and then incorporate the talismanic strokes of the cultivation world into them.

Since he currently lacks talisman paper and talisman brushes, he uses the Primordial Chaos to simulate drawing talismans.

Soon, he mentally simulated a "talisman" made of parchment covered with magical runes.

In the future, if the corresponding materials are available, I can draw directly.

At that time, the various spies the kingdom sent into the Black Wizard organization will be freed and able to carry out their missions more effectively.

Two days later, these wizard apprentices were called upon to carry out missions with other wizards.

Ronan then followed the dark wizards, carrying out missions such as fighting against other wizarding organizations, slaughtering sea monsters, and seizing magical plants.

Basically, it's all about using witchcraft to kill.

The wizards of the Dark Tower also taught their wizard apprentices some powerful dark wizard techniques.

Paul also learned a dark magic spell called the "Bloodfire Curse".

It means that when casting witchcraft, one also uses their own blood.

When witchcraft is mixed with blood, it immediately becomes malevolent.

With a wave of his staff, he can summon a black flame demon mask, which has extremely strong destructive power.

As a third-level wizard apprentice, he was able to unleash a level of magical power approaching that of a fully-fledged white wizard after casting this spell.

However, Paul's face was also growing paler, just like the dark wizards in the Dark Tower.

After their souls were marked and they carried out several missions, they gradually became familiar with the Dark Tower.

They were also granted free access to the Dark Tower area.

After all, the Dark Tower also hopes that they can cultivate on their own and improve themselves.

They have a soul imprint, so even if they escape, the Dark Tower can find them.

It is even possible to inflict excruciating pain on their souls by triggering their soul imprints.

Having gained access to the Dark Sigh area, Ronan set foot on other islands.

He first used magic stones to buy materials for drawing talismans.

After drawing the talisman, he changed his appearance, found the Kingdom Wizard Apprentices scattered among various dark wizard organizations, removed their original soul imprints, and forged a new one.

He then began to inquire about the Elven Tree.

He discovered that on the Wizarding Isles, elves, like humans without wizarding aptitude, were considered lowly beings.

After all, elves were also defeated by wizards.

Even the legendary powerful elven magic is utterly powerless against witchcraft.

Therefore, most wizards on the Wizarding Isles look down on the knowledge left behind by the elves.

Instead of learning about elves, it's better to spend more time studying witchcraft in your own field.

Ronan discovered that the witchcraft system of the Wizarding Islands, while maintaining the same framework, had a level of sophistication that the mainland could not match.

Each step of the training was planned in great detail.

After inquiring for some time, Ronan finally heard news of the Silmaril Tree.

The Elven Tree was taken by the Sixth Ring Witch Tower.

The Six Rings Witch Tower is an old friend of Ronan's.

Back when he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage on the sea in the Wizarding World, a wizard from the Six-Ring Wizarding Tower thought that there were ancient wizarding ruins in the area where he was, and wanted to come and harass him.

However, he eventually escaped using the Wood Immortal Escape Technique, leaving the wise wizard completely baffled.

With this clue, Ronan headed towards the area of ​​the Sixth Ring Witch Tower.

Once he got to that area, he was able to gather more information.

He needs to find out the composition of the Six Rings Witch Tower's power.

If the wizard inside isn't very strong, he'll just take action.

If someone is stronger than him, then we'll make other plans.

In any case, he was determined to get his hands on the Elemental Tree.

There's no faster way to gather information than by capturing a wizard from a sixth-ringed wizarding tower and questioning him.

The Six Rings Witch Tower is also a well-known dark wizarding organization.

That day, he heard the news that the Six Rings Witch Tower was at war with the Azure Lake.

The Azure Lake is the headquarters of the White Wizards organization. They recently acquired a precious magic stone, and the news leaked out.

Upon receiving the news, a dark wizard from the Six Rings Wizard Tower led other wizards to attempt to seize the magic stone.

Outside the area of ​​the Azure Lake, two groups of wizards are engaged in battle.

One group of wizards unleashed water-based magic, while another group unleashed magic with intense and sinister energy fluctuations.

At a glance, you can tell which side is the wizard of the Sixth Ring Wizard Tower.
