The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 133 Return to the ground
Moving upwards along the complex and winding tunnel, Richard and his two companions quickly left the middle insect nest and arrived at the upper insect nest.

Feeling the sudden drop in temperature and humidity around him, Richard took a deep breath and said with relief:

"Finally, I'm going to get out. If I keep killing people, I feel like I'm going to grow mushrooms."

Ellie on the side agreed with a look of approval: "Indeed, the lower insect nest is really not a place for people to stay."

As an old wizard, Lawrence was well-informed and did not have any particularly strong reaction to the harsh environment of the lower insect nest.

"It's OK. This kind of condition is not particularly bad in the Plane War. If you can't adapt, I recommend that you undergo a body transformation. If you become a living dead like me, you won't have any special reaction to any environment."

"...Then forget it."

Although the living dead have no feeling for the environment, they also have no feeling for other things. If they are not necromancers, few wizards are willing to undergo this kind of body transformation.

In the past two years, many changes have taken place in the upper hive.

As Richard moved upward, he kept seeing white wizards and logistics wizards working. These wizards kept destroying small crypts and tiny tunnels, and then solidified them with spells. Those were solidified and transformed by their big crypts, and magic arrays and alchemical weapons were set up to make things like strongholds.

It seemed that the superiors had completely cleared the dungeon and were now defending the area based on the terrain.

Li Zhao found a logistics wizard and asked him. It turned out that the command felt that the number of remaining insects was too small, and it would be a waste of manpower to use black wizards to clear them out. It would be better to directly destroy the road leading to the upper insect nest and block them directly below, and then deal with them in the later stage of the plane war.

……

Coming out of the insect nest and looking at the long-lost horizon, Richard felt filled with emotion.

It feels so damn good to be back on the ground!

Back to the floating city fortress, the fortress has changed a lot. The wizard's residence has been completed. These buildings surround the floating city fortress in a circle, forming a ring. If the black crystal insect swarm counterattacks, these buildings will become the first line of defense.

According to the command of the headquarters, all wizards coming out of the underground hive can have a one-month vacation for rest.

After a month, new tasks will be assigned to them.

……

After getting the house key from the logistics wizard, Richard found his house in the residential ring.

Although a month is not a long time, it is enough for him to catch his breath.

He had a fruitful harvest in this insect hunting mission. In addition to the World Mushroom, he caught a lot of Spider Knights and Warrior Bugs, but he threw away all the original Planting Bugs.

It's simple. Richard believes that with World Mushroom, growing some mushrooms is a piece of cake.

After sorting out his harvest, Richard went to the Wizarding Chamber of Commerce in the fortress to sell it.

Yes, there is a Chamber of Commerce accompanying the plane expedition.

Every plane expedition will be followed by several wizard guilds that have cooperation with the academy. Each of these guilds carries a large amount of magic stones and magic essences. Although they will lower the price to a certain extent during the transaction process, for wizards who need to deal with inventory, this price reduction is not a big deal.

Moreover, these spoils cannot provide any combat power to the wizard. After being exchanged for magic stones, it is also convenient for the wizard to replenish his magic power or find other wizards to exchange resources.

Since Richard used anatomy to know the weaknesses of the Spider Knights, the Spider Knights he captured in his underground hive were all intact, which allowed him to earn more, reaching nearly 300,000 magic stones.

This was simply unbelievable for a first-ring wizard who was participating in a plane war for the first time.

After selling the spoils, Richard found a wizard market in the residential area. The items sold in this market were mainly items that some stores had difficulty pricing or that were priced too low.

The market was bustling with people. Due to the command of the headquarters, all the first-ring black wizards were rushing to the floating city, and the market became prosperous.

"Special fungus, special fungus. This fungus has extremely strong neurotoxicity. It is the best choice for making alchemical poisons!"

"Starstone, Starstone, a special mineral mined from the top of the insect nest. It has the ability to absorb starlight. After studying it, you may be able to obtain the secret of starlight."

"The mutated transport worm has a strong load-bearing capacity and defense. It is the best choice for making a mobile alchemical weapon base!"

Walking in this market, Richard felt like he was back in the college's commercial street.

At that time, wizards seemed unattainable and extremely mysterious in his eyes.

Now that he has become a wizard and is surrounded by wizards, the wizards have become like apprentices.

Richard took a walk around the market and with his keen eyesight, he discovered that most of the items these wizards sold were junk.

For example, the special fungus he heard about at the beginning. Although the wizard who was selling it said that it had extremely strong neurotoxicity, he didn't mention one thing, that is, this neurotoxicity had almost no effect on black crystal worms.

If you feed this mushroom to any first-level black crystal worm, the black crystal worm will die of suffocation sooner than being poisoned.

There is also the starlight stone at the back. Although it has the effect of attracting starlight, the effect is very weak. Even the black crystal worms are just using it as an auxiliary. Although the wizard claims that he can study the secrets of starlight from it, it is obviously better to use sacrificial worms to study it than to study it from this broken stone.

And these are not the most important issues.

Although the wizard selectively described the characteristics of these things, there are indeed some points worth studying or using. If the price is right, Richard doesn't mind buying some.

However, these wizards set their prices sky-high, hoping that some wizards would spend money they liked. They were exactly the same as the apprentices Richard met during his apprenticeship.

Looking at the wizards hawking their wares around him, Richard shook his head helplessly.

The system of the wizarding academy may not necessarily screen out idiots, at least not idiots in business.

But just as Richard was about to leave, something on the street caught his attention.

"Friend, how do you sell this?"

Richard walked to the stall, pointed to a fist-sized black crystal on the ground, and asked.

The wizard who was selling it took a look and said lazily, "One hundred thousand magic stones, no bargaining accepted."

"One hundred thousand magic stones?" Richard's heart skipped a beat. It was not that the wizard's price was too high, but that it was too low.

If he was not mistaken, this black crystal should be the Nomi crystal. This thing was collected by wizards during the enlightenment period, and he had only seen the record of this thing in the cipher notes.

I didn't expect to meet him at the wizard market today.

"No counter-offers accepted." The selling wizard repeated his conditions.

"Okay, I want it."

After that, Richard took out a bag of magic essence from his pocket, counted it and threw it to the stall owner.

After the stall owner took it, he scanned it with his mental power and took out a contract.

After signing the contract, both the money and the goods are settled.

Richard asked again, "Friend, where did you get this?"

The wizard looked up at Richard and uttered a word.

"No comment."

"..."

Having hit a wall, Richard had no choice but to leave. Although the wizard didn't say anything, Richard guessed that he was probably the one who took advantage of the death of some unlucky wizard.

After the Nomi crystal was mined out in the wizarding world, wizards also explored in many conquered worlds, but they did not find this kind of crystal.

I don’t think this insect nest world will be the lucky one.

After returning from the market, Richard immediately started making the staff head.

Although Richard's staff performed very well in the underground insect nest, it was very effective both in close combat and casting spells.

But a staff must have a head after all.

Besides, the Nomi crystal is also very helpful to Richard's combat power.

Although the effect of Nomi Crystal on spells is very limited, it has an extremely powerful feature, which is the ability to cast spells without magic.

This "no magic" does not mean that the wizard does not need magic power, but it means that the wizard will not emit magic fluctuations when casting spells.

The Nomi crystal can block the magical fluctuations when a wizard casts spells to a great extent, and the effect is almost as good as a silencer (movie and TV version).

For Richard, a dark wizard, it is not an exaggeration to call this a magic weapon.

No matter how careful a wizard is when casting a spell, he will release some magical fluctuations. These magical fluctuations will become very obvious to certain alien natives with keen senses, thus exposing the wizard's location.

But with this Nomi crystal, Richard no longer has to worry about this.

Adding the staff head was not a difficult task, and Richard finished it in less than an afternoon. After the production was completed, Richard found an open space to test the spell, using the Heart of Annihilation, where the magic fluctuations were the most obvious.

hum!
Richard looked at the staff with some surprise. Judging from the magic fluctuations just now, the magic fluctuations of the Heart of Annihilation were almost the same as a trick. If he used a spell with a smaller magic fluctuation, then this magic fluctuation could basically be ignored.

Holding the staff, Richard returned to the room in a happy mood, and as soon as he entered the door, a beautiful figure pulled him into the bedroom.

"Oh my god, Ellie, calm down, I just made a magic wand, it's very effective..."

Before Richard could finish, he blocked her mouth with a pair of red lips.

Soon after, the room was filled with the sound of cloth tearing and groaning that was not suitable for children.

A wizard's physical fitness is stronger than that of a wizard's apprentice, and his mental strength is stronger than that of a wizard's apprentice, but this also makes the wizard's desire stronger and more patient.

Desire that has been suppressed for a long time is like a volcano that is about to erupt. It only needs a little bit of trigger to erupt.

"Listen to me, Ellie, my staff is really powerful."
