The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 102 Joining the Association
After an hour, Qiao Luode finally appeared in the hall.

"Haha, Richard! I knew you could hold on."

Joe Lord walked up to Richard and patted him on the shoulder, his joy was beyond words.

For Joe Lord, there is nothing better than seeing his students safely become wizards.

Richard scratched his head. Out of self-protection, the memory in the darkness of the soul had been automatically faded by his brain. Now when he recalled it again, all Richard could feel was boredom.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Joe Lord waved his hand, signaling Richard not to recall it.

"Now that you've become a wizard, enjoy your life as a wizard."

After that, the two of them left the working floor.

The commercial floor was still as bustling as ever, but Richard had a different feeling when he walked into it now.

"Is this what it feels like to be a wizard?"

Richard looked at the alien slaves in shackles around him. Before he became a wizard, even if these slaves were in shackles, Richard felt that he would be easily killed.

But now, Richard only felt that these creatures were very weak.

This sense of dislocation in self-perception made Richard somewhat excited.

After arriving at the commercial floor, Joe Lord did not take Richard to the residential floor immediately, but took him to a store.

"Put on your wizard robes. Apprentices are not allowed to enter this shop." Qiaoluode arranged.

Richard did as he was told and took out the wizard robe issued by the Tower of Truth from his pocket.

The style of this wizard robe looks no different from that of an apprentice wizard robe, but on the chest, the original silver pentagram logo has been replaced with a heart with gears.

Taking this opportunity, Qiao Luode also explained to him the differences between the symbols of different schools.

"The five major schools all have their own symbols. The symbol of our alchemy school is a gear heart, symbolizing machinery and flesh and blood. The symbol of the necromancy school is a golden ouroboros, symbolizing the cycle of life and death. The symbol of the emissary school is a golden pentagram, symbolizing the spirit's control over earth, wind, water and fire. The symbol of the soul school is a half-real and half-virtual brain, symbolizing the spirit and soul. Finally, there is the curse school. Their symbol is a blood-stained cross, symbolizing the first curse in wizard history - the blood cross."

"What about the double schools?" Richard asked.

Ellie's mentor Susanna is a dual-school wizard of curse and evocation.

"A wizard with two schools of thought will display both symbols, gold for the major and silver for the minor."

After changing into wizard robes, Richard and Joe Lord entered the store, which did not allow apprentices to enter. The things sold in the store really scared Richard.

“Aren’t these people human?”

Richard looked at the humanoid creatures trapped in cages around him with some panic.

Although the wizarding world allows the existence of slaves, these slaves are limited to outsiders, and wizards are not allowed to have human slaves.

"Look carefully." Joe Lord calmly pointed at the scales on a slave's body and said, "This is a subhuman, a hybrid created by some wizards who can't control their lower body."

"Half-bloods are not recognized by the wizarding world, so they are considered foreigners."

"What about those wizards who have bloodline fusion?" Richard couldn't help but ask, "Will the children of these people also be mixed with the blood of other races?"

"It depends on whether these wizards are willing to spend magic stones." Qiao Luode said leisurely, "As long as they are willing to spend magic stones to purify their blood, these sub-humans can also become part of the wizard world.

But it’s clear that the wizard who created these subhumans doesn’t intend to spend the money.”

Richard was silent for a moment: "Do these people have the same power as foreigners?"

"Better than foreign races," Joe Lord said calmly, "The human form is more in line with the aesthetics of wizards. These sub-humans will most likely be servants in a wizard's laboratory for their entire lives, rather than being used as experimental materials or food.

I brought you here this time so that you can choose two demihuman servants. If you don't want to, forget it."

Richard looked at the demihumans around him and gradually calmed down.

As a dark wizard, Richard had killed many pure-blooded people. Although these sub-humans in front of him looked pitiful, they were not enough to arouse his sympathy.

"Do these demihumans have any skills? I want to find one who can cook," Richard said calmly.

When tasting delicious food, the human body will not automatically produce a sense of happiness, which is a good way to relax. Although food is no longer a necessity after becoming a wizard, Richard is still willing to eat and drink when conditions permit.

A smile appeared on Joe Lord’s face.

"Yes, of course."

……

After a round of shopping in the demi-human shop, Richard finally picked out two female demi-human slaves and spent forty magic essences of Jorod.

The two demi-humans had normal intelligence, animal ears on their heads, and youthful and cute looks. One was proficient in cooking a variety of ingredients, and the other was strong and had the talent to precisely control the body, so she could help Richard process some alchemical materials.

Back in the living area, Richard no longer needed Joe Lord to fly with him this time.

Richard took a deep breath, and every cell in his body became active at this moment.

These cells greedily absorbed the magic power in the air, then gathered into the body and transformed into magic power flowing back under the guidance of mental power.

After a living being's physical fitness exceeds fifty, the body will spontaneously form an energy cycle to maintain energy supply for body activities.

In addition, Richard's mental strength also underwent changes.

Richard released his mental power towards the sky. This time his mental power was no longer limited to a few meters in front of him, but expanded to about fifty meters.

This change comes from the qualitative change of mental power. If Richard's previous mental power was unrefined iron ore, then his current mental power is refined steel.

With the same amount of mental power, Richard can see and detect farther and mobilize more magic power.

The magic power return that Richard, who has a mental power of 50, can maintain is nine times more than that of Richard, who has a mental power of 49.9!
"How does it feel to make a life leap?" asked Joe Lord.

"Great!" Richard shouted excitedly.

Following Joe Lord, Richard came all the way to the Black Tower Wizarding Academy community on the second residential floor. A considerable number of wizards from the Black Tower Wizarding Academy lived here.

Entering the community, Richard felt the strong atmosphere of the Black Tower Wizard Academy. Well, these wizard buildings are all small central black towers, giving Richard a feeling of returning to the academy.

Arriving in front of a black tower, Qiaoluode went forward and knocked on the door.

dong dong dong.

A subhuman slave opened the door.

"Please come in, two wizards."

"Whose wizard tower is this?" Richard asked curiously.

"guess?"

Richard entered the reception room and looked around.

"I can't tell, but I'm guessing it's definitely not Brother Chucks's."

"Oh?" Joe Lord raised his eyebrows, "Why not Chucks's?"

Richard pointed to the empty table in the drawing room.

"How come there is no wine in Brother Chucks's living room?"

"Haha, that's true."

Not long after, a beautiful figure walked down from upstairs

"Richard!"

Richard took a look and saw that the beautiful figure coming down was his senior sister Anna whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Senior Sister Anna, long time no see."

The two hugged each other when they met, and Qiao Luode sighed beside him:
"You two have a great relationship as brothers. You have all become wizards for three consecutive years. The time between the previous ones was too long, so there was no feeling when we met."

After the hug, everyone sat down. Joe Lord took out an owl from his magic pocket and said a few words to it.

"Chucks, come on this trip Anna, your junior has become a wizard."

Not long after, a fat figure walked into the wizard tower.

"Hey, Junior Brother! I knew you could do it!"

As he said this, Chucks opened his arms to Richard and the two hugged each other.

When everyone was present, the demihuman servant poured a cup of black tea for everyone.

The black tea is very fragrant and has a calming effect. You can tell it is a magical plant as soon as you smell it.

"Senior sister, you treat me differently." Chucks took a sip of red tea and shouted to Anna, "I have come to your place several times, and every time I drank ordinary tea.

As soon as Junior Brother came out of seclusion today, you took out your treasured magic tea."

Anna glared at him and said, "It's enough to give you ordinary tea. You drunkard, can you taste the magic tea?"

"Why can't I taste it? Senior sister, you are just biased..."

Looking at the two people arguing with each other in front of him, Qiao Luode couldn't help but knock on the table.

"You two should be serious. I came here to tell you something."

The two men stopped and looked at Joe Lord.

"Now that you brothers have come out, I will tell you about the association." Qiao Luode said slowly, "The Golden Dawn Association is a wizard association within our alchemy school.

In regular academic salons, members of the association would share some alchemical experiences and help solve problems for a fee.

It will be of great help to you novice wizards.

To join the association, you need a joint recommendation from five old members. Now that several of my old friends are in the wizarding world, this recommendation is not a problem.

But there is another requirement to join the association, which is sufficient wisdom.

This requirement requires you to demonstrate your own results, and no one can help you. "

As he spoke, Joe Lord looked at Richard.

"Richard, you were able to make a strategic-level magic suit during your apprenticeship, so you are obviously smart enough. But you two..."

Qiao Luode turned his gaze to his other two apprentices.

"Your work is obviously not up to standard. Anna, you have been a wizard for more than ten years. What have you studied in the past ten years? What results have you achieved?"

Anna's face flushed. After becoming a wizard, she was indeed a little slack.

As for Chucks standing aside, Joe Lord looked at him, but saw that he looked as if nothing had happened, so he couldn't help but glare at him.

"Chucks, you can't even be called lazy! You're just wasting your time!"

As he spoke, Joe Lord pulled out his wand from his magic pocket and angrily hit Chucks on the head twice.

"Don't think I can't control you just because you're a wizard!"

After teaching Chucks a lesson, Joe Lord stood up.

"I've already told you what's going on. It's up to you to decide how to choose. If you plan to join another society, I won't stop you. Some of your brothers and sisters have also joined other societies."

After saying that, Joe Lord looked at Richard.

"Richard, what are your plans?"

"Me?" Richard stood up. "I will definitely choose to join the Golden Dawn."
