The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 153 The storm is coming
In Richard's narrative, the rescue operation of the Mother Temple was a failure, mixed with the selfish motives of the puppet wizard.

Although Richard speculated that the puppet wizard was probably deceived, he could not lie about using the rescue barrier to cover up his true purpose.

Richard tried his best to avoid personal emotions and unfounded speculations in his narrative, and simply told what he saw.

After that, the White Wizard put the crystal ball into a bag, and then handed it to a White Wizard beside him, saying in a very serious tone:
"Send this message to the headquarters as soon as possible! It must be quick!"

After that, he gave another order to the white wizard beside him:
"Send the message just now to the headquarters, using the emergency communication channel!"

The dual transmission of physical information is the second highest level of information transmission in war. Physical transmission is to prevent commanders from making misjudgments and is also one of the data that must be retained.

Looking at the seriousness of the White Wizard's command, Richard was a little confused.

A year has passed, it is impossible that no wizard has escaped from the underground insect nest.

There are hundreds of wizards who have broken out. It is impossible for none of them to come out and they all continue to carry out their mission in the underground insect nest.

Thinking of this, Richard felt a little ashamed.

After assigning the tasks, the White Wizard Commander extended his right hand towards Richard.

"My name is Ivan, the commander of the Third War Zone, War Fortress No. 372."

Richard stretched out his hand and shook it, "I am Richard, the dark wizard lurking in Hive No. 12."

……

It was from Ivan that Richard learned that in the past year, the border had been peaceful and no dark wizard had come out of the underground insect nest.

And according to Ivan's description, what Richard experienced was already a major accident, and the dark wizard could have left the hive. These were not small scenes, and the old wizard didn't think it mattered.

"Actually, I have a guess." Ivan said in a low voice, "Those wizards may have been forced to lie dormant."

"Hibernating?" Richard asked.

"Master, don't you know how to lie in hibernation?" Ivan was also a little confused. The master in front of him had a strong vitality and it was obvious that he was a strong man with an evolved physique. His physique was at least over ninety points.

This force should have experienced at least two plane wars.

Richard smiled awkwardly: "This is my first time participating in a plane war, and I don't know a lot of things. I hope Master will forgive me."

"Hiss..." Ivan took a breath.

The first time I participated in the plane war, I was a student soldier. Can a student soldier have this strength? Can he have this ability?
Buddy, are you a disciple of the great wizard, or the legitimate son of a wizard family?

Ivan shook his head, put aside the absurd thoughts in his mind, and explained to Richard the meaning of dormancy.

"The so-called hibernation means that the wizard is temporarily inactive due to irresistible forces. In this state, the wizard will abandon all his magic equipment that can be contacted, and then be in a state of loss of contact. Even the command center cannot find them.

After a period of hibernation, the wizard must give the headquarters a reasonable explanation and provide corresponding evidence.

Otherwise, the command center will confiscate all the wizard's gains from this plane war on the grounds of passive fighting, and impose a fine."

Richard nodded thoughtfully, "If those wizards are dormant, does that mean..."

Richard looked at Ivan and hesitated to speak.

Ivan nodded: "Maybe a wizard has rebelled, and it is very likely that puppet wizard.

Of course, maybe things weren’t that bad, and the wizard simply had his soul devoured.”

Richard's mouth twitched twice when he heard this.

This is true for the headquarters, but not necessarily for the puppet wizard.

"But no matter what happens, this thing has nothing to do with us." Ivan patted Richard's shoulder, "We will examine you later. After we make sure there are no parasites in your body, you can go back.

Come out of that damn place and take a rest first."

After inspection, Richard immediately left War Fortress No. 372 and returned to the rear.

And the first second after returning to the floating city fortress, the command center found him.

"Wizard Richard, the command center wants you to come over."

Three logistics wizards stood in front of Richard. After getting Richard's response, they took Richard into the most mysterious place in the floating city - the command tower, one in front and two behind.

……

The command tower is the center of the floating fortress and the location of the plane war command center, so its protection measures are also very strict.

Before entering the tower, Richard underwent another full body examination to confirm that he had no parasites and that his soul was still that of a wizard.

The interior of the command tower is quite lively. There are no private rooms on the second to fifth floors of the tower, only halls.

These floors are the lower levels of command.

The wizards' current battle line is very large. There are thousands of Type I war fortresses and hundreds of Type II war fortresses on any line of defense. These fortresses will transmit every move of the insects on the front line to the lower-level command, which will then screen them and submit them to the middle-level command.

After passing through the lower-level command post, Richard came to the higher-level intermediate command post. The intermediate command post was responsible for secondary screening and sorting of the news from the lower-level command post, and then submitting it to the higher-level command post, which was the command post that Richard had direct contact with in the Battle of Black Bone Plains.

The intermediate command center has only one floor. After passing through this floor, Richard came to a black door.

The logistics wizard leading him stopped again.

"Wizard Richard, the command center is inside."

Richard looked at the black door in front of him and shuddered.

Behind this gate is the power center of the war in this plane. Every order they issue will result in the deaths of thousands of wizards, but will also make the insects pay ten or a hundred times the price.

I pushed open the door and the scene behind it was very ordinary.

Dozens of three-ring wizards sat behind the table, constantly receiving messages with crystal balls, then summarizing the messages, discussing them, and finally turning them into orders and distributing them.

"Oh, an acquaintance."

Among these wizards, a wizard in a black robe drinking black tea seemed a little out of place. When he saw Richard coming in, he immediately called him to his side.

"I remember you. Your name is Richard, right? You are Joe Lord's student."

Richard bowed sharply to the black-robed wizard: "Hello, Dean."

"Hmm! Not bad, you have brains." The Great Wizard of the Black Tower smiled at the three-ring wizards around him, "It's much more useful to call this place the Dean instead of the Commander."

Richard couldn't help sweating when he heard this. In the plane war, calling someone the dean was a bit of a form of intimacy.

But he didn't think too much about it just now. When he saw the great wizard of the Black Tower, he called the dean reflexively.

"Don't be nervous, little one." The Great Wizard of the Black Tower took a sip of red tea, "There's nothing wrong with calling you the dean. The information you reported has arrived, but we still need to confirm it."

The Great Wizard of the Black Tower waved his hand, and a somewhat familiar figure stood up and walked in front of Richard.

"Susanna, get things straight. The death of thousands of dark wizards is no small matter. I have to give an explanation to the parliament."

After saying that, the environment around Richard suddenly changed and turned into a closed room, like an interrogation room.

Susannah sat at one side of the room, with a table in front of her and a metal chair opposite her.

She pointed to a chair and motioned for Richard to sit down.

The metal chair was very hard and cold. The moment he sat on it, an extremely cold feeling rushed from the base of Richard's tail to his forehead.

His emotions also calmed down under this stimulation.

"The spell engraved in the chair should be the mechanical mind of the Soul School." Richard judged in his heart.

Richard took his seat and Susannah began to ask questions.

Richard was no stranger to Ellie's mentor, as he had come into contact with Susanna during his apprenticeship.

Susanna has a bad temper, but she is very caring towards her students. As Ellie's lover, Richard has never been troubled by her.

"Name." "Richard."

"Strength." "One ring."

"Carry out the mission." "Sneak into Hive No. 12."

"Repeat your description of the war fortress again."

……

After hearing the news, Richard looked at Susanna nervously, not knowing what the outcome would be.

Although there is nothing wrong with his narrative, many parts about Ulysses are blurred. If you get too serious, it's hard for him to answer.

Susanna glanced at him.
"It's okay, this is just routine, it happens when we encounter important intelligence.

Also, you don't have to worry about Ellie's condition. I made a life box for her, but it hasn't been activated yet, so she should be fine."

Hearing this, Richard breathed a sigh of relief, and instantly felt less worried.

Ellie's matter has always been a burden on his mind. Now that he knows that everything is fine, he is undoubtedly relieved.

Susanna clapped her hands, and the two returned to the command room again. The Great Wizard of the Black Tower took Susanna's records, took a look at them, and then waved to Richard.

"It's okay. Someone will give you the reward for the information later. Get ready during this time. The insects' counterattack is coming soon."

Upon hearing this, Richard bowed to the Great Wizard of the Black Tower and then left the room.

After the door was closed, the Great Wizard of the Black Tower suddenly called out to his students.

"Little Susanna, this boy is a first-ring wizard, right? And he has some relationship with that student."

"Yes, teacher."

The Great Wizard of the Black Tower took a sip of black tea and smiled slightly as he looked at Susanna's records.

"It's not easy for a first-ring wizard to achieve this. When assigning him a mission, choose a relatively safe place. After all, he is a student of our academy. Maybe he will be able to enter this command room in the future."

……

After leaving the command tower, Richard quickly arrived at the synthetic beast factory where Joe Lord was.

"You want to activate your flesh and blood?" Qiao Luode looked at his student and rubbed his temple with a headache.

"Ah."

Richard stood opposite Joe Lord and looked at him nervously.

Ulysses' body needs a large amount of living flesh and blood. The living flesh and blood produced by Richard's flesh tentacle alone is far from enough.

After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Luode said:

"How much do you want? The bugs are about to counterattack, and living flesh and blood can't be taken as easily as before."

Richard nodded repeatedly when he heard this, "Not much, just one hundred kilograms."

Joe Lord exhaled, took out a magic bag from his waist and handed it to Richard.

"Hey, take some more."

Richard felt that something was wrong with Joe Lord, and asked carefully:

"Teacher, what's bothering you?"

"…Nothing. Your senior brother Eric died a month ago."
