The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 154 The Rain is Coming

Eric, when Richard heard this familiar name, he instantly remembered the wizard with a powerful aura in the living room on the day when he learned the news of the war.

The wizard who was only one ritual away from becoming a three-ring wizard... just died like that?

A dark wizard with a bright future died so calmly behind enemy lines. Richard's heart was suddenly filled with an inexplicable emotion.

For a moment, he didn't know how to comfort his teacher.

Qiao Luode sighed and forced a smile.

"Casualties are inevitable in war, and Eric was not forced to go to the battlefield. Before going to the battlefield, he was prepared to die."

"Teacher, doesn't Senior Brother Eric have a life box?" Richard couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, but his soul no longer supports him using the phylactery."

The bug-level resurrection device, the Phylactery, naturally cannot be free of cost. Every time the Phylactery is used, the user's soul will inevitably be damaged. This damage is inevitable and extremely difficult to repair. To repair it, the user must become a great wizard or use a large amount of soul essence.

But there has always been a rumor in the wizarding community that any wizard who has used the phylactery will never become a great wizard.

This rumor is not groundless. Among the three-ring wizards who have signed a contract with the Tower of Truth, there has never been a wizard who has used the life box.

Joe Lord walked over to Richard and patted him gently on the shoulder.

"Don't think too much. Just use your active flesh and blood to do your own thing. Everything on the battlefield is fake. Only your own strength is real."

……

After obtaining the living flesh and blood from Joe Lord, Richard immediately set off for the Wizards' Chamber of Commerce, exchanged the spoils he had obtained over the years for magic stones, and bought some alchemical materials from the Wizards' Chamber of Commerce.

"Thank you for your patronage. The total is 278,500 magic stones."

After hearing the offer from the Wizarding Chamber of Commerce, Richard handed over the magic essence with some pain.

The price was too high, at least 50 percent higher than in the wizarding world.

But right now, the portal to the wizarding world seems to have not been completed yet, and the supplies from the wizarding world are in short supply at the moment, so the Wizarding Chamber of Commerce naturally sets the price high.

Richard estimated that by the time headquarters ordered the dark wizards to retreat, the price would likely rise further.

After returning to his residence, Richard immediately began to make Ulysses' body. A second-level synthetic beast is not like a first-level synthetic beast, which can be completed by simply adding a little high-quality active flesh and blood.

The production of a second-level synthetic beast requires the establishment of energy circulation and autophagy of active flesh and blood, which is an extremely long process with a high chance of failure.

The establishment of energy circulation must be done with great care. The slightest deviation may cause the body to explode. Compared with the establishment of energy circulation, autophagy of flesh and blood to enhance physical fitness is easier.

In this process, as long as there is no problem with the formula, success can be achieved by continuously adding active blood and flesh.

However, neither of these is a problem for Richard. As long as Richard builds his body, Ulysses can handle the energy circulation by himself.

In the laboratory, Richard stood in front of the test bench, took out a bone cube from his pocket, and then carefully used an alchemical array to shape it into light and strong bird bones.

This was followed by autophagy of the flesh and blood.

Richard inherited a formula for flesh and blood autophagy from Joe Lord. Through various alchemical materials and the stimulation of magic, the active flesh and blood will undergo autophagy. After autophagy, the flesh and blood will become stronger. This is a technology that must be mastered to create advanced synthetic beasts.

It is said that the reason why Joe Lord was able to become the head of the War Beast Department as a second-ring wizard was because of a flesh and blood autophagy formula that could be used to create a third-level synthetic beast.

The autophagy of flesh and blood takes a long time. During this time, Richard took out the crystal fragments obtained from the Forerunner ruins.

In the secret realm, he classified the fragments according to size and shape, and made sure that nothing similar to a chip was missing.

So right now, the only effect these crystal fragments have on Richard is their special material.

The material of the crystal fragments is very special, and its internal structure is very complex. After the magic power enters it, it will sometimes be quickly consumed, but sometimes it will be refracted for a long time.

Richard took the mystery very seriously.

Even in the simplest magic circle, magic power is lost, but the special structure of these crystals can reduce the loss of magic power to a very low number.

If he could figure out the secret, Richard would make great progress in both transmutation magic and alchemy.

Many ideas that seem unfeasible will become feasible.

Richard was somewhat intoxicated as he looked at the crystals reflecting thousands of rays of light under the magic lamp.

"Crystal, Crystal, let me see what secrets you are hiding."

……

Research time always passes quickly, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the last three months of this half year, the dark wizards who had infiltrated behind enemy lines began to gradually withdraw from the Zerg's nest. The Zerg's impending counterattack forced the command to concentrate every bit of strength at hand.

The development of the insect nest world by logistics wizards has also been on the right track in recent years. Various minerals and magical plants are transformed into alchemical weapons and potions by logistics wizards and transported to the front line.

To this end, the command center opened a refining task to all alchemy wizards. Alchemy wizards can obtain raw ore from logistics wizards, and then refine it by themselves. When submitting the task, they only need to pay the full share.

During this process, if you have superb skills and can extract more, the rest will be the wizard's own.

Many alchemy wizards took advantage of this opportunity to make a small fortune, such as... Richard.

In the secret realm, Richard took out a black crow body from the incubator. The basic physical fitness of this body had reached one hundred points, reaching the lowest category of a second-level creature.

For Ulises, this body is barely usable.

He released Ulises from his pocket. After he came out, he immediately flew around the secret realm twice and landed in front of the black crow's body. "Huh, is this my new body?"

Richard nodded: "Time is short, the bugs are about to strike back, let's just make do with it for now."

Ulysses looked at his body, and then a stream of light emerged from the Black Crow and entered the body of the new Black Crow.

The next moment, the flow of magic power in the entire secret realm changed. It seemed as if a magic black hole appeared in the secret realm, constantly absorbing magic power.

Taking this opportunity, Richard used his energy vision to carefully observe Ulysses' energy cycle.

A good wizard never misses an opportunity to gain knowledge.

A few minutes later, a black crow with black flames on its body and about the same size as an eagle landed on Richard's shoulder.

"Gah, a level 2 body is so useful. The previous one was so frustrating. I was worried about it breaking if I used a little force."

"As long as it works." Richard said calmly.

The war is about to begin, and he will definitely need Ulises' help during this period.

After changing his body, Richard came to a corner of the secret realm and moved out the alchemical golem.

During this period of time, he made a lot of ore ingots by refining ores. Among these ores, there is an ore called blue mushroom iron. The hardness, toughness and even magic of this ore are mediocre or even somewhat poor, but it has an extremely prominent advantage, that is, its density is very low.

The density of blue mushroom iron is almost the same as that of granite.

This also made Richard think of using the enchanted blue mushroom iron shell to make the alchemical golem shell.

No matter how poor the properties of blue mushroom iron are, it is still better than the enchanted stones used by alchemical golems.

After removing the alchemical golem's shell, Richard installed it with the enchanted blue mushroom iron shell he had made in advance. After integrating the magic circuit, Richard activated the golem.

hum!
The golem's eyes glowed red.

After the transformation, the Alchemical Golem's original granite shell has been replaced with a light blue mushroom iron shell, with runes faintly visible on the blue mushroom iron shell. The overall protection of the Alchemical Golem is now several times higher than before.

Of course, this is an extremely luxurious transformation.

If it had not been for the war and he had plenty of materials on hand, Richard would never have made such a transformation.

No matter how mediocre the properties of blue mushroom iron are, it is still a legitimate alchemical material and a magic-conducting metal.

"Ga, the stone lump has been replaced by an iron lump. I now seriously doubt that if you have enough refined gold on hand, you can replace this thing with a refined gold lump." Ulysses looked at the golem and said with a slightly sarcastic tone.

"But no matter what the lump is, the brain is always dead."

Ulises has always hated alchemical puppets, but he never explained why.

Richard suspected that this guy must have been beaten up by an earth elemental lord, so he had ill will towards the alchemical puppet that looked like a stone giant.

Richard ignored him, put it into his pocket, and walked out of the secret realm with the alchemical puppet.

As soon as he came out, Richard found that the communication crystal ball he placed on the table in the laboratory was lighting up, and orders from the command center came from it.

"Wizard 7531, the Zerg's counterattack is imminent. Your mission is to assist the Third War Zone's No. War Fortress in completing its guard duty."

……

White fungus country.

As the wizards' main attack direction, the White Fungus Insect Kingdom lost nearly one-third of its territory in just three years.

This is because the wizards deliberately slowed down their attack.

The roar of spells and alchemical weapons continued day and night, and the fear of death always hung over the heads of the insects of the White Fungus Insect Kingdom.

But today, everything is about to change.

In the Mother Temple of the White Fungus Insect Kingdom, the thirty-five high priests of the Insect Kingdom gathered together.

Under the Mother Goddess, there was a sea of ​​insects that stretched as far as the eye could see.

A high priest wearing a golden crown shouted to the insect swarm under the Mother Goddess:
"Everyone! Today, the elite troops of the thirty-five insect nations have all gathered!

This is something that has never happened in the history of the Black Crystal Zerg!

Our next step is to counterattack and take back our land and our world!
I know this is an unfair war.

The wizards and monsters have war machines made of steel and powerful elemental torrents, but we have no way out now.

If we fail this time, we will never be able to gather such a huge counterattack force again. By then, when the wizard monsters' portals are completed and they have access to a steady stream of resources and troops... by then, the only way to greet us is slavery.

So, everyone!

Fight with all your last bit of strength, even if you have to bite with your teeth or smash with stones, you must drive these wizard monsters out of our world.

The Queen is with us!"

After saying that, a great ray of holy light shot out from the Mother Temple, enveloping the entire sea of ​​insects.

A tiny sound emerged from the swarm of insects, then gradually began to spread, until it finally gathered into a loud shout.

"Take back our world!"
