The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 105 Heart of Annihilation
Spring goes and autumn comes, and eight years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the years, Richard has been designing his own new version of the water and fire annihilation spell, and even has a name for it, called Heart of Annihilation.

But designing a new spell is not that easy.

In the laboratory, Richard looked at the rune array on the test bench and fell into deep thought.

"Alas, failed again."

Although he had prepared himself for failure, his psychological defenses gradually collapsed as the number of failures accumulated.

He even began to doubt whether his thinking was correct. Perhaps the two runes were not as compatible as he thought, and designing a new spell was a wrong idea.

"Haha! Richard, someone is looking for you."

Ulysses' voice suddenly sounded, and Richard looked towards the window and saw a familiar owl next to Ulysses.

Entering the laboratory, the owl spoke human language.

"Richard, come to Anna's place."

"Teacher's voice." Richard was stunned when he heard it, and suddenly remembered that this year seemed to be the year for association gatherings.

After cleaning up the laboratory, Richard put on his wizard robe and rushed to his senior sister Anna's wizard tower.

When he arrived, he ran into Chucks.

"Senior brother."

Richard greeted Chucks. Over the past few decades, Chucks became rounder and the top of his head became more lustrous.

"Long time no see, Junior Brother." Chucks greeted cheerfully.

The two entered the wizard tower together, and Anna and Joe Lord were already waiting for them in the reception room.

As soon as the two sat down, Qiaoluode got straight to the point.

"This is the year of the association gathering. Anna, Chucks, how are your works being prepared?"

Anna shook her head. "Teacher, a few years ago, I joined the Golden Gear Society through a friend's introduction."

"Golden Gear Society?" Qiao Luode frowned, but then sighed, "Well, you have a talent for alchemical machinery, so it's appropriate for you to join the Golden Gear."

The Golden Gear Society is a wizard society that studies alchemical machinery. Anna is quite talented in alchemical machinery, so it is not a big deal for her to join it.

But what made Qiao Luode unhappy was that he was studying synthetic animals and was naturally incompatible with these people who played with machines. As a result, his students became the opposite side.

Anna lowered her head in embarrassment. She also knew that her teacher did not get along well with some wizards who studied alchemical machinery.

Joe Lord turned his gaze to Chax.

"Chucks, what about you?"

"Me?" Chax also shook his head. "My war beast has not been trained yet. I guess I have to wait until the next association gathering to show it off."

"Okay then." Joe Lord sighed helplessly, "This time I will introduce Richard alone to the association."

……

The headquarters of the Golden Dawn Society is located on the twelfth residential floor. It looks like an alchemy workshop from the outside, with thick pipes and towering chimneys. It looks like the alchemy machinery style that Joe Lord hates the most.

Arriving at the door, Richard greeted several wizards familiarly.

"Carlos, long time no see."

"Michelle, you've changed your body again. What race is it this time?"

"Zakria, we haven't seen each other for over a hundred years. It seems that you have gained a lot from the Plane War."

When these wizards saw Qiao Luode, they responded to him familiarly.

It seems that Joe Lord is popular in the Golden Dawn society.

Entering the building, what greeted Richard's eyes was a hall that was comparable to a devil's cave of flesh and blood.

"Teacher, this..." Richard frowned. The walls and floor of this hall looked like flesh, the pillars looked like bones of living things, and blood vessels could be vaguely seen in various decorations.

If it were somewhere else, Richard would have already started casting spells by now.

"That's Merlin's aesthetic. You'll get used to it after seeing it more often." Qiao Luode said indifferently.

As more and more wizards came into the hall, some of Jorrod's old friends also gathered around him, including the giant Gerard whom Richard had met that year.

"Jorode, is this the student?" asked a wizard with two heads.

"It looks like this isn't your way to create synthetic beasts." another wizard continued.

Qiao Luode sighed helplessly: "Students who follow my path have not finished their work this year, so they can only wait until next time."

After hearing this, several wizards nodded, and then turned their attention to a new wizard with smiles on their faces.

"Merlin, have you made your magic suit? Joe Lord's students have made it."

The wizard being questioned was wearing a wizard robe and looked no different from an ordinary human being. But as several wizards asked this question, the flesh on the wizard's face instantly twisted.

"You guys!"

Merlin snorted coldly, and the flesh on his face returned to normal.

He came in front of Richard and looked him over with an almost scrutinizing gaze.

"Boy, let me see your magic suit."

Richard frowned, and suddenly Joe Lord's voice rang in his ears.

"Give it to him. Merlin is the vice president of the association. It is his responsibility to check the works."

Richard took out an annihilation bullet from his pocket and handed it to Merlin. After checking the annihilation bullet, he said indignantly, "It's not that complicated."

Upon hearing this, Joe Lord walked over to Richard and said, "Merlin, you are questioning the judgment of the Great Wizard."

Merlin's face froze, and he returned the annihilation bomb to Richard angrily and handed him a badge.

"This is the badge of the association. From now on, you will be a member of the association."

After Merlin left, Joe Lord began to introduce the society's personnel structure to Richard.

"The structure of our association is very loose, with only three levels: president, vice president, and members. Merlin and Trass are vice presidents, and the president is the Great Wizard of the Immortal Heart."

"The president is a great wizard!?" Richard asked in surprise.

"There's no need to be surprised. The president and vice president of the society are not the first generation. The Golden Dawn Society has been established since the pioneering era and has a very long history. It's normal to have a great wizard as the president." Joe Lord explained.

"The president and vice president are usually responsible for organizing gatherings, reviewing and resigning members. If you want to kick a member out, you need the consent of both vice presidents, and the approval of the president. So you don't have to take Merlin to heart."

Richard nodded. Although Merlin's attitude towards him was unfriendly, Richard was not a petty person.

As long as it doesn't involve issues of interest, it's okay if the attitude is bad.

As the party progressed, the hall was soon filled with wizards.

The wizards exchanged some information they had learned during this period and traded the materials they had on hand.

"Level 3 active flesh and blood, good stuff." A wizard looked at the materials Richard showed and asked, "How much of this do you have? What do you want to ask?"

Joe Lord patted Richard on the shoulder and then left Richard.

The gathering itself was also an academic salon, and Richard happened to have some questions that needed answers, so he asked Joe Lord to introduce him to an alchemist wizard who had done some research on the water and fire annihilation spell.

"Master, I heard that you have done some research on the spell of annihilation of water and fire. I would like to ask you some questions." Richard said humbly.

The wizard frowned, and a sound of mechanical friction came from his body.

"My answers to questions like this are not cheap. How many level 3 active flesh and blood do you have?"

"Forty kilograms."

"Shh, that's amazing." The wizard said in amazement, "You can ask, this number is enough."

Although the market price of level three active flesh and blood is ten magic stones per gram, this thing is very troublesome to cultivate, and few wizards are willing to sell it. Only the Wizard Chamber of Commerce will regularly take out a batch and put it on the market for sale in order to complete the variety of its products.

"Thank you, Master. I have three questions. The first one is about the integration of rare runes in the two-ring rune array..."

……

After some questioning, Richard paid the price of thirty kilograms of living flesh and blood in exchange for the answers to the three questions.

"The price of knowledge is really not cheap." Richard said with concern.

Thirty kilograms of active flesh and blood would be worth three hundred thousand magic stones and three hundred magic essences on the market. A first-ring wizard could only earn a net profit of seven or eight hundred magic essences from a plane war. His three questions were equivalent to the profit of half a plane war.

Fortunately, it was all worth it.

The answers to these three questions are very subtle. If Richard were to explore on his own, he would not be able to come up with a conclusion without one or two hundred years of research. Moreover, these three questions directly affected the progress of Richard's magic. Once the three questions were solved, Richard's path to magic design became unimpeded.

The party lasted for as long as a month, but most wizards left after getting what they wanted.

As soon as Richard came back from the party, he went straight into the laboratory and started designing spells.

Qiao Luode did not disturb him when he saw this. As a wizard, he naturally knew the refreshing feeling after solving a problem that had been bothering him for a long time.

Three months later, Richard looked at the rune array in front of him and smiled with satisfaction.

"Haha, did it work?"

Ulises flew to Richard's shoulder. Over the years, he had been paying attention to Richard's spell design. As a former master of the world, he was very curious about what Richard could do with his own things.

It thought that it had utilized its bloodline talent to the top level, otherwise, with so many dark crows in the Crow World, it would not have been its turn to be the Lord of the Crows.

"Want to see the effect?" Richard smiled at Ulysses, then flew out of the laboratory through the window, turned into a stream of light and came to a desert.

As the residence of wizards, each living floor has a testing ground, and the testing ground on Richard's floor is the desert in front of him.

Richard manipulated his mental power to transform it into runes, and then used the runes to form a dense rune array.

As the spell was ready, a black fireball the size of a human head appeared in Richard's hand.

"Hehehe, let me see how powerful you are."

Richard shot out a fireball with a strange smile, which exploded a thousand meters away.

hum-

A strange buzzing sound came into Richard's ears.

In an instant, Richard saw a black sphere that was originally the size of a human head suddenly expand to the size of a person, and then quickly disappear.

There was no light, no explosion, and it was as calm as the surface of the water in spring.

Richard came to the place where the spell broke out. The part that was swallowed by the spell had disappeared. At the edge of the spell, the sand was melted into glass, leaving a hemispherical depression in its place.

"Ulysses, what do you think of this spell?" Richard asked Ulysses.

This spell was a little too peaceful, and he couldn't even see its specific power.

"...Gah, for me in the past, this is nothing, but for your current strength..." Ulises paused for a moment and said slowly:

"What a monster."
