The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 131 World Tree? World Mushroom!
"Lawrence?"

Richard was shocked when he saw the figure walking out of the mushroom forest.

At this moment, Lawrence's entire body was made up of white mycelium. As he moved, the mycelium bent and stretched rhythmically, looking extremely natural.

"Don't be nervous, this body is a puppet controlled by me using necromancy." Lawrence explained.

Richard looked at him warily.

"What deal are you going to make?"

After the warrior worm told him that a sacrifice was required to enter the mushroom field, Richard gave up Lawrence and turned his target to the relics of the Queen Worm God.

Now the relics of the Queen Goddess have been destroyed by that group of fungal creatures, but Lawrence is still alive.

Fate is truly wonderful.

"I'll give you a piece of information and 500,000 magic stones in exchange for your body." Lawrence stated his conditions, and then added, "The information is related to the amber."

As soon as these words came out, Ulises on the side suddenly trembled.

"News about Amber?"

Richard suddenly became interested. It was possible that Lawrence had found out some information after being led by these insects for such a long time.

"What kind of body do you want?"

"A normal level one creature will do. I just need it to leave this damn place."

Lawrence pointed to his fungal body and said, "This body can't leave this damn place."

"This is easy to handle."

Richard thought for a moment and took out the warrior bug and spider knight from the slave pocket.

Whether it is 500,000 magic stones or the news of the Queen Insect God's relics, they are much more valuable than these two slaves.

"Which of these two do you want?"

Lawrence looked at the Spider Knight with some surprise. He had fought with the Spider Knight before. He had no problem killing the Spider Knight, but if he was asked to capture him alive, he really couldn't do it.

"I want this half-spider." Lawrence chose.

Now that the money has been spent, you naturally want a better body.

Richard didn't say anything after hearing this and immediately threw the Spider Knight over.

Lawrence took out a contract from his pocket, wrote down the terms, signed his name on it and handed it to Richard.

The manager checked the conditions and signed his name.

The contract is an indispensable ritual in wizard transactions, and it is also the underlying rule of wizard society.

After the contract was completed, Lawrence immediately used the necromancy to transfer his body. Although the Spider Knight's nerves were still cut off, the necromancy did not require nerves to control the body, making it more like a puppet.

Then, he pointed to Ulises on the side and said:

"The thing sealed in the amber was taken away by this crow of yours. The crow was just lying to you!"

As soon as these words came out, Ulises became excited instantly.

"Gah! This is slander, total slander! Richard, don't listen to his nonsense. He looks like a puppet now, and he is trying to sow discord between us!"

Richard paused when he heard this. Although Ulises' words were a little bit frustrated, they did make some sense.

Lawrence's condition just now was indeed a bit strange.

But he suddenly discovered that Ulysses' abdomen seemed to be swollen, and the swelling was slowly increasing.

"Ulises, what's wrong with your stomach?" Richard sneered.

"Huh? Stomach? What's wrong with my stomach?" Ulysses said guiltily.

But before it could make any more excuses, a wisp of blue mycelium emerged from its mouth.

The mushroom field began to shake again.

"Ulises, every time I think you're one of us, you always cause trouble."

Li took a look at it, and then opened the rift to the secret realm again.

"Lawrence, go inside and take shelter."

Richard called out to Lawrence, grabbed Ulysses, whose stomach was as swollen as a balloon, and entered the secret realm.

Although I don’t know what those blue mycelium are, judging from the reaction of the mushroom field, they are definitely not ordinary things.

Lawrence looked at the space rift with a hint of surprise on his face.

Secret Realm Fragments are quite expensive.

This was Richard's first time participating in a plane war, so how could he have the spare money to buy this thing?

But when he entered the secret realm fragment, the surprise on his face instantly turned into shock.

"This... this... where did you get this secret realm fragment from!" Lawrence was a little incoherent, "This concentration of magic power, this environment, this harmony of rules, this... this... how could a first-ring wizard master this kind of thing?
Isn't this your first time participating in a plane war?"

In response to Lawrence's surprise, Richard shrugged.

"Our dean is quite generous. This is the reward he gave us."

“…Reward?” Lawrence felt his worldview shaken. “Are you his student?”

"No."

"Then why did he give you a reward?"

"This thing is a test reward. It has nothing to do with whether you are his student or not. If you want to talk about students, here." Richard pointed to Ellie on the side, "This wizard is the apprentice of our dean."

Lawrence turned his head and looked at Ellie, his eyes as big as copper bells.

"Are you the disciple of the Great Wizard of the Black Tower?"

Ellie nodded and said indifferently:

"Well, the dean is indeed my master, but even my teacher can't see him normally, so this relationship is of no use."

Hearing this, Lawrence said with a serious face: "No, no, no, this relationship is very important. With your relationship, our war will be much easier."

Lawrence had never thought that the novice wizard fighting with him could have such a profound connection.

You should have told me earlier that you had this connection. With this connection, he could get a lot more resources from the logistics wizard and get first-hand information.

This is a huge benefit to the war.

Even if they formed a friendship during this war, he could work as a logistics wizard in the Black Tower Wizarding Academy in the future.

Thinking of this, Lawrence's mentality changed slightly.

"Don't look at me. The guy behind you is also quite influential. The director of the War Beast Department is his teacher." Ellie felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Lawrence, so she turned around and sold out the news about Richard.

"Hmm?" Lawrence turned around instantly, "Your teacher is Master Qiao Luode from the War Beast Department?"

Richard nodded: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. If you two have any battles in the future, please call me and I will fight with you. I feel that the survival rate of this war is very high."

With these two, he would never have to worry about being sent by the command center to carry out a mission that would ensure his death.

……

After confirming that the changes in the mushroom field were caused by the blue fungus that Ulysses stole, Ellie and Lawrence left the secret realm, leaving only them and the bird.

Richard brought Ulises in front of him and asked indifferently:

"Ulises, what do you have to say?"

At this moment, blue mycelium continued to extend from Ulysses' body, and his body swelled like a ball.

If it were a normal creature, it would have died long ago. Only Ulises, the Lord of the World, could barely survive.

"Gah, my master! I was wrong, I was wrong!" Ulysses wailed.

Just before entering the secret realm, Richard used his mental power to order Ulysses to stop resisting the blue mycelium.

Ulysses was also sensible. He knew that what he did was not right, so he naturally gave up resistance. After all, these hyphae were harmless to his soul and he could not die.

"Wrong?" Richard sneered, "My Lord Ulysses, if someone hadn't told me, I would have really kept it from you.

If you digest this, you will regain a lot of strength."

"Gah, no! Absolutely not! This stuff is not good for the soul at all. I am really blinded by greed!" Ulysses screamed.

Although this fungus burst out with amazing vitality when it first appeared, its true face was immediately revealed once it was swallowed by Ulysses.

It continuously absorbed Ulysses' energy as nourishment. At the beginning, there was only a little bit, but later on, it became more and more, and it grew bigger and bigger. Until finally, when Ulysses showed his true colors, it had almost absorbed all of Ulysses' energy.

"No?"

Richard still sneered. He didn't believe a word Ulysses said.

"Gah, my master, if you don't take action now, my body will be destroyed, and then it will be all your loss."

Ulises continued to scream, knowing full well that Richard was not an emotional man.

The possible losses are probably more important than torturing him.

But this time Ulises miscalculated.

Richard used levitation to suspend Ulysses in the air:
"It's okay. I have a lot of living flesh and blood on hand. It's enough to build you another body."

"Gah, stop it! Master! Richard..."

Faced with Ulysses' participation, Richard floated him to the sky of the secret realm without changing his expression, and then added a soundproof magic shield.

Ulises was a little too greedy this time, and he must be punished.

……

An hour later, Ulises' body exploded and turned into a fungus ball. A beam of divine light flew out of the ball and penetrated into the crow body that Richard had prepared.

"Ulises, what on earth is this thing?"

Ulises, who regained his body, fell on Richard's shoulder and said in a flattering voice:

"Gah, I guess this thing is the mushroom seed that the golden bug killed back then, but it seems that its soul has awakened just now. Master, you can communicate with it directly."

As soon as Ulises finished speaking, the fungus ball in the sky fell down.

"Mortal, I want to make a deal with you."

"Mortal?" Richard raised his eyebrows. It was hard to tell the difference between the big and small mushrooms.

"Ulises, do you have a way to kill it? If you kill it, this matter will be over. I will prepare a better body for you when we return."

"Gah, no problem! If you hadn't wanted to punish me, I would have killed it long ago."

As he spoke, a gleam of light flashed in Ulysses' eyes. Although it was just an injured world lord, the mushroom seed opposite it was just an embryo.

Isn't it easy for a seriously injured adult to kill an embryo?
At this moment, the mushroom ball has not realized that something is wrong and continues to speak:

"Mortal, as long as you serve me, I will grant you power, strength, glory..."

Before the mushroom ball cake was finished, Ulises' soul invaded it.

"Gah, power? Strength? Are you, a mushroom, worthy of serving my master?"

There is no miracle furnace in the Mushroom Ball's spiritual space, and Ulysses is rampant in it, making the Mushroom Ball face the reality in a few seconds.

"My lord! I surrender! I serve you! I serve you!"

Seeing that the mushroom ball was so tactful, Ulises withdrew from his spiritual space, returned to his body and flattered Richard:

"Gah, my dear master, this mushroom wants to serve you."

"Serve me?" Richard raised a smile. "Who are you? You want to serve me?"

"My Lord, I am the World Mushroom!"
