The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 112 Floating City

"What do you want?" Richard asked in a deep voice.

"Gah, the power of faith." Ulises replied, "Don't you have religion in the wizarding world? When a group of creatures pray to something, that thing will gather a strange power.

This power is the power of faith."

"Religion?" Richard thought of the Blood Red Lord cult that he had eradicated.

"Gah, judging from your customs, I guess you don't have any religion." Ulises continued, "You wizards are so obsessed with rationality, I'm afraid you have thrown religion into the trash long ago."

"Indeed." Richard said lightly.

In the wizarding world, only mortals believe in religion. When a wizard sees a god, the first thing he thinks of is to dissect it.

"You should be able to easily encounter the power of faith. When you conquer other worlds, you will definitely encounter religions that regard the Lord of the World as a god. The body of such a Lord of the World will contain the power of faith. If you can obtain some, I can accomplish some methods that only gods can use."

After that, Ulises added:
"Gah, don't think I want to take this opportunity to recover from my injuries. Purifying the power of faith consumes mental energy. Using this thing will only aggravate my injuries."

"Oh?" Richard narrowed his eyes, his face full of suspicion, "Are you so kind?"

“Gah, don’t look at me like that!” Ulises was a little angry. “I think you have potential and want to invest in you. If you don’t want to, forget it!”

“Invest in me?”

"Gah, the furnace on your body is a treasure that even gods may not have. With this thing, your becoming a god is not certain, but it is almost certain." Ulises shouted, "Maybe, the next god king of your civilization will be you.

Is there anything wrong with me investing in a future God King?"

I have to say that Ulysses' words were really well-spoken, and Richard was very happy to hear them.

"Ahem, the road to truth is difficult and arduous. It's too early to talk about this now."

Richard coughed twice in a serious manner, turned around and went to the next laboratory to prepare to upgrade his magic suit.

……

Richard had many magical costumes, but after he became a wizard, many of them lost their original functions.

Like his guardian pendant, a magic shield that can resist fifty energy levels, now it can't even resist the black scales on Richard's body.

There are also mind protection rings. After Richard's mental power undergoes a qualitative change, attacks that can affect Richard's mind cannot even provide early warning.

These things need to be replaced.

After all this cleanup, all of Richard's other magical equipment except the Demon Eater Greatsword had to be replaced.

But you need something to replace it.

Richard was so poor that he had to sell precious materials like Austrian steel to exchange for magic stones. How could he get the magic stones to make so many wizard-level magic suits?

So after thinking it over, Richard decided not to get so many fancy magic costumes. He concentrated the magic stones to make two magic costumes, one is the Cloak of the Hidden One, and the other is the Demon Devourer Greatsword.

He was a dark wizard, and in the plane war he had to fight behind enemy lines, so a magic suit that could conceal his whereabouts was essential. As for the Demon Devourer Greatsword, Richard had already completed the first two phases of the project, and only the last phase was left to complete, which would not cost many magic stones.

A blueprint is needed to make equipment, but it is obviously too late to design it from scratch now.

Therefore, Richard chose to "borrow" the design drawing of the upgraded version of the invisible cloak directly from his teacher Joe Lord.

As Jorod's youngest student and a partner of the Wizarding Chamber of Commerce, he still had some face in Jorod's eyes. With an IOU of 100,000 magic stones, Richard got the blueprint of the Hidden Cloak.

After solving the blueprint problem, all that remains is to purchase materials, make rough drafts, engrave spells, and then process the appearance.

Six months later, Richard looked at the dark cloak in front of him and the greatsword emitting an ominous aura beside him, and smiled with satisfaction.

The upgraded version of the Stealer's Cloak not only has the effect of concealing aura and hiding magic fluctuations, it also has a spell of sneaking into the shadows.

This spell allows Richard to briefly enter the gap between the material world and the shadow world, thereby avoiding enemy attacks.

However, the energy level of this attack cannot exceed 200, otherwise Richard will be forced to fall out of the cracks in the world due to the spatial disturbance caused by the energy fluctuation. It is a bit difficult to use it to dodge attacks, but it is just right for sneaking in.

After putting the magic armor into his magic pocket, Richard turned and left the laboratory, ready to see the fusion effect of the fire giant.

After six months of fusion, the elemental core of the fire giant has gradually absorbed the flame of annihilation and turned it into a part of itself.

When I arrived at the laboratory, under the quartz cover, the element core had evolved to the final part. The originally fiery red element core was now almost completely dyed black.

"It looks like it's almost done, all that's missing is a fire."

Richard looked at the core and muttered to himself, the magic power in his body surged and input a stream of magic power into the elemental core.

With the infusion of magic power, the elemental core instantly turned black, and the last bit of red turned into black flames.

boom!
The flames at the elemental core suddenly erupted, and chains of flames gathered together to form a one-meter-tall black flame dwarf.

"I, First, am alive!"

The Fire Dwarf shouted.

“He’s definitely alive.”

"Ok?"

The fire dwarf looked to the side and saw that the human who threatened him to sign a slave contract was looking at him coldly.

"Now, get off the test bench!"

Following an angry command, First involuntarily retracted the flames, curled up into a ball, and rolled off the test bench. Looking at the test bench that turned into magma because of First, Richard couldn't help but sigh.

"First, restrain your flames and tell me your current condition."

Upon hearing the order, First returned from his spherical form to his human form and retracted the flames.

"Master, I have broken through the bottleneck and become a fire warrior."

"Fire Warrior? A level one creature, right?" Richard took out a notebook from his pocket and began to record information.

"Besides that? Have you gained any abilities? Can you still summon and use the original ordinary flame? Do you have any mental problems?"

Richard's series of questions made First, whose brain was not enough, a little confused.

But it quickly answered them one by one.

After the question and answer session, Richard nodded. First's growth has two aspects. The first aspect is the growth of strength. After fusion and magic power replenishment, First broke through the bottleneck and became a first-level elemental creature.

The second aspect is the change in the use of power. Now First's body is composed of the flame of annihilation and no longer has the ordinary fire elemental body he had before.

The advantage of this change is that First is more lethal, but the disadvantage is that his body becomes smaller, energy consumption increases, and some skills that the Fire Giant could use can no longer be used.

"Okay." Richard took out a crystal ball from his magic pocket.

This crystal ball is an elemental creature cage specially made by the Wizarding Chamber of Commerce, designed specifically for wizards to store elemental creature cannon fodder.

"Go in."

"……Yes."

……

The successful integration of First solved the last problem before Richard's war.

In the remaining two years, Richard concentrated on meditation and the training of the adaptive body, and occasionally went to the Galleon Club to exchange experiences on the battlefield with those dark wizards.

After getting acquainted with those dark wizards, Richard gained a deeper understanding of this group of dark wizards.

The dark wizard goes deep behind enemy lines, surrounded by enemies and treasures. In this situation, protecting himself is the first priority, and he must restrain himself in the face of temptation.

If a dark wizard cannot control his greed, he will inevitably die from greed.

Two years passed by in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the plane war arrived.

Richard followed several of his fellow brothers through the portal and arrived at the expedition level above the working level. This level was in the crown of the World Tree. The space was very empty, and hundreds of thousands of wizards only occupied a small part of it.

Most of these wizards are free wizards who joined this plane war as mercenaries through contracts.

On one side of the crowd, hundreds of war airships made of cold metal landed on the ground. These war airships were the war machines of the white wizards, specially designed for plane battlefields.

The power of its main gun can even reach eight thousand energy levels, almost the same as a three-ring wizard's full-strength attack.

Soon, ripples appeared in the void, and thousands of working wizards from the Tower of Truth flew into the sky and, guided by a three-ring wizard, performed a huge spell.

As the working wizard waved his staff, an extremely large magic circle appeared in the air.

Then, a crack appeared in the center of the magic circle.

Behind the space rift, a huge monster revealed the tip of the iceberg.

"Is this the floating city?"

Looking at the huge creature in front of him, Richard seemed to have returned to the first time he saw the World Tree.

A metal creature with a diameter of tens of thousands of meters slowly squeezed into the wizarding world from the void.

The lower part of the floating city is a hemisphere, with various alloy armor plates tightly spliced ​​together, giving it a mechanical beauty.

But when the wizard arrived above the floating city, the floating city had changed its appearance.

Densely packed spires stand on the metal ground. Among these spires, the tallest one is the black spire located in the center.

This spire is the command post of the war, and all orders in the war are issued from the command post.

With the command post as the center, spires of various secondary heights spread out in a ripple-like pattern, all the way to the edge of the floating city.

The white wizards boarded the war airship, and the lower part of the floating city opened a passage for them, while the black wizards like Richard and the free wizards needed to land directly on the floating city from the upper part.

"The floating city is truly the highest masterpiece of alchemical machinery."

Beside Richard, Anna, a wizard who studied alchemical machinery, looked at the floating city in a daze.

As a wizard who studies alchemical machinery, she wants to take apart every part of the floating city.

Richard did not respond after hearing this. His knowledge of alchemical machinery was still very rudimentary, and his only thought about the floating city was "It's fucking awesome."

As the wizards entered, a figure flew out from the central spire.

The figure continued to expand during the flight, and eventually turned into a black-robed wizard hundreds of meters tall.

"Welcome everyone to this expedition to spread the wisdom of wizard civilization. I am the commander of this expedition, Black Tower."
