The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 111 War preparations
"Just sign it and it's done." Richard signed his name on the other side of the soul contract with a smile on his face.

As the contract burned to ashes, an invisible soul chain connected First and Richard together.

After dispersing the rune chains, the fire giant First lowered his head silently.

"Owner."

"Well, not bad." Richard nodded with satisfaction.

"Gah! This idiot is not good enough to be cannon fodder." Ulises flew in from the window and landed on Richard's shoulder. "The soldiers in the war in the upper plane must be at least legendary. Only the natives would use those below legendary as cannon fodder."

"That's true." A black flame emerged from Richard's hand, "But I have a way to turn it into a first-level creature."

"Ga! Relying on the Flame of Annihilation?" Ulysses looked at the black flame in confusion.

How come he didn't know that his innate flame had this effect?

Richard smiled mysteriously and said nothing more.

The knowledge of the forerunners includes not only knowledge about flesh and blood creatures, but also elemental creatures.

The knowledge about the evolution of elemental creatures, combined with the knowledge of energy shaping that Richard has learned, is enough to support Richard in making some changes to First.

If the transformation is successful, Richard will gain a fire giant that uses the Flame of Annihilation. Even if it fails, Richard's loss is only a soul contract, and the cannon fodder can go to the slave market to buy one.

……

The transformation of the Fire Giant is not complicated. The most troublesome thing is to constantly improve the rune array.

The Forerunners were not wizards after all, and in order to adapt their knowledge into the wizards' rune system, a certain degree of changes had to be made.

Fortunately, Richard had sufficient understanding of the nature of the Flame of Oblivion, and he also learned enough knowledge about energy transformation when designing the Heart of Annihilation spell. The combination of these two made the process of Richard improving the rune array very smooth.

In less than half a year, Richard completed the improvement of the rune array and fused the Flame of Annihilation with the elemental core of the Fire Giant.

Looking at the elemental core burning with black flames in front of him, Richard left the laboratory with satisfaction.

The integration takes some time, and he has other things to do in the rest of the time.

Entering another room on the second floor, Richard opened the space rift and moved out the alchemical golem that Anna had modified.

Following Richard's idea, Anna installed three magic equipment slots inside the alchemical puppet and modified the entire golem's mind core, deleting the commands of its original owner, adding new data, and changing the owner to Richard.

He opened the back panel of the golem, took out an annihilation bomb thrower used during the Apprentice War from his magic pocket, and installed it.

Richard modified this thing while studying alchemical mechanics, increased its range to five kilometers, and made a shooting table.

In addition, Richard also made some improvements to the annihilation bomb, reducing its cost to one hundred magic stones per bomb.

Although compared with the wizard's spells, this cost is still not cost-effective, but Richard believes that as long as he continues his research, the cost can be lowered.

After installing the gun barrel, Richard took out a complex mechanical device from the shelf in the laboratory and installed it into the magic equipment slot on the golem's abdomen.

After Richard's careful design, the slot is just the right size to accommodate this mechanical device.

Richard started the machine, and an annihilation bomb was pushed out of the device and just fed into the barrel installed by Richard.

"Hehehe, space magazine." Richard looked at this scene and couldn't help but laugh strangely.

The magic pocket is one of the most common magic items in the wizarding world. Its internal space is larger than its external surface, so it is widely used by wizards to store items.

But when Richard was improving the grenade launcher, he suddenly had an idea. Since humans can use magic pockets, can machines also use magic pockets?

Immediately afterwards, Richard conducted an experiment, and after the experiment, he came to a conclusion.

As long as magic power is input into the magic pocket, any object can take items out of the pocket. And because there is no mental selection, the magic pocket will deliver the items to the machine in the order in which they are put in.

So Richard filled a magic pocket with annihilation bombs, and used alchemical mechanical devices to complete the entire process of taking out and loading, creating the current space bomb bay.

With this thing, the Alchemical Golem will directly transform into a small turret.

After installing the annihilation cannon, Richard opened the golem's chest, took out a large annihilation bomb from his magic pocket and put it inside.

This annihilation bomb does not contain any elements and is currently harmless.

Its function is to self-destruct when necessary to buy time for Richard, or to make good use of waste.

The transformation of the golem was completed. Richard filled it with magic stones, then closed the cover and started the golem.

hum!
There was a buzzing sound, and runes began to light up all over the alchemical golem's surface, spreading from the heart to the entire body.

The golem's eyes lit up red, it scanned Richard, and then made a mechanical sound.

"Owner."

"Take two steps," Richard ordered.

The Alchemy Golem took a step upon hearing this. Boom! Boom! Boom…

The alchemical golem was very heavy. Even though its huge body had been hollowed out in many places, it still weighed more than ten tons. Every step it took caused the furniture in the room to shake.

"Stop, use Lava Fist."

hum!
There was another subtle hum.

The alchemical golem stopped, runes lit up on its two fists, and a hot breath instantly filled the entire laboratory.

"Okay, stop, and enter hibernation." Richard waved his hand, and the red light in the golem's eyes disappeared, and the entire body instantly turned into a humanoid boulder.
Richard checked the golem's energy consumption. In just one minute, the golem consumed almost one magic stone.

"The energy consumption is acceptable." Richard closed the cover and said to himself.

Although the Alchemical Golem's strength is not as good as Richard's, compared with the average first-ring wizard, its strength is still quite good.

Its enchanted stone shell provides excellent protection against both physical and elemental attacks, and is also easy to repair.

Now Richard has installed an annihilation cannon, which is very effective both in guarding and clearing out miscellaneous soldiers.

For new wizards, the first plane war is the war in which they are most likely to die. This is because wizards of this period have neither sufficient resources, nor sufficient knowledge, nor sufficient experience. Compared with wizards who have experienced war, wizards who are completely new to the war are more likely to die at the hands of the plane natives.

Now with this alchemical golem, Richard has an extra loyal wizard guard.

This greatly increased his chances of survival.

Moreover, Richard also possesses the powerful weapon Heart of Annihilation, as well as the help of Ulysses, the lord of the other world.

Richard is confident about this plane war.

……

"Gah! You are finally willing to heal my injuries."

Ulysses landed on the table in front of Richard, on which were placed three soul crystals and a large piece of living flesh and blood.

The soul crystal contains pure soul power and is one of the best medicines for recovering from soul injuries, while the active flesh and blood is used to break through the limitations of the physical body.

Ulises' current body is just a synthetic beast, and he must use this method to grow.

Richard nodded lightly. Since he was going to the battlefield, he would have to use Ulysses, such a great helper.

Over the past few decades, due to Richard's prohibition, Ulysses' soul injury has remained intact, only recovering slightly during the period when Richard needed the Flame of Destruction.

The main reason for doing this is that the power gap between the two is too big. Even with the constraints of the fate contract, Richard is afraid that the master of this world will play tricks on him.

Now that he has to participate in the plane war, he cannot do without Ulysses' help.

Ulysses opened his mouth and swallowed the three soul crystals into his stomach. The next moment, the magic power in the entire room began to flow towards his body frantically.

Ulises's body is now the body of the former Muni, and he is not very big.

But after devouring the soul crystal, it devoured the living flesh and blood next to it and began to grow rapidly, and the feathers on its body also ignited with black flames of annihilation.

"Gah!"

With a loud crow cry, Ulysses' daily strength returned to that of a first-level creature!
"Gah, it feels good to regain strength."

Ulises flew around the laboratory for a few times, then landed on Richard's shoulder and said in a flattering voice, "Gah, my dear master, if you can get me some more soul crystals, I guarantee that you will not be harmed in this plane war."

But Richard obviously didn't buy it.

"Why do you have to wait until I become a second-level wizard before you can become a second-level creature."

"Gah, my master, we have a fateful contract. I have been your loyal servant for ten thousand years. Why do you have to be so defensive against me?"

Ulises' eyes rolled around as he spoke. Only he knew what he was planning.

"The contract is not omnipotent." Richard said coldly, "If you want to recover your strength in advance, then give me some new knowledge."

"Gah, knowledge? My master, we Dark Crows are not your wizards. We grow by fighting and devouring. According to you, we are following the path of physical evolution, and it is the most primitive one.

If you want new knowledge, all I can give you is the secret of becoming a god."

Ulises tempted with words:

"Master, do you want the secret of becoming a god now?"

Richard's heart moved slightly. In the wizarding world, how to become a great wizard has always been a secret among secrets. Only some ancient wizarding families and the Tower of Truth possess the knowledge to become a great wizard.

In order to acquire this knowledge, three-ring wizards who wanted to be promoted had to sell themselves to the Tower of Truth, exchanging the benefits of becoming a great wizard for the opportunity of promotion.

But Ulysses' words showed Richard another way.

The Gods Civilization is a diversified civilization that includes multiple races. This also shows that the Gods Civilization's method of ascending to the Lord of the World has no bloodline restrictions.

If Richard could acquire this knowledge, he could rely on the Tower of Truth to become a great wizard himself, or even... train his own great wizard.

Richard's heart was pounding at the thought.

“Hu…” Richard suddenly let out a long breath. He looked at Ulysses with cold eyes, “Ulysses, if you use mental methods to influence me again, you will never be able to recover as the Lord of the World in this lifetime.”

His thoughts just now were too greedy and arrogant, which was inconsistent with his character. He must have been influenced by the outside world to think this way.

"Gah, I didn't do anything!" Ulises argued loudly, "The sound of the Dark Crow will naturally arouse people's greed. Those are your own desires!"

"Your current body is not the Dark Crow!"

Ulises was now speechless.

"Gah, it's my bad luck. But what I said is true. I do have the secret to becoming a god. And I can use some of the methods of the gods in advance through some things."
