The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 167 Nightmare Wizarding World
"Can't get out?"

Richard looked at Ulises, wanting an explanation.

"Ulises, what is going on here? Why did I come to this so-called nightmare wizard world?"

"Gah, this...that...an accident, an accident."

Ulises was evasive, but under Richard's questioning, he finally told the reason.

"You came here because the magnetic field of the earth veins was disturbed, causing a space rift to appear in the insect nest world, and that space rift happened to lead to the nightmare world. Your soul was engulfed by the nightmare red fog and entered the nightmare world.

However, because you are a wizard, not a native creature of the Hive World, the Nightmare Red Mist sent you to the current Nightmare Wizard World."

"Sent to the nightmare wizarding world..." Richard looked a little dazed when listening to these words. It would take more than a year for the insect nest world to be able to travel to the wizarding world even if using a floating city for astral travel, but he arrived at the wizarding world in just a dream.

"How long have I slept?" Richard asked dazedly.

"About three hours. Because you entered the nightmare world, the connection between you and the fur balls fluctuated. They notified me immediately, and I left the secret realm right away."

"We have covered such a long distance in just three hours. The rules of the nightmare world are truly magical."

After lamenting the rules of the nightmare world, Richard calmed down and continued to ask:

"So how do I get out?"

"Gah, according to my experience last time, you have to collect nightmare power now. When the nightmare power is collected to a certain level, the nightmare world will discover you as a foreign object and expel you from the nightmare world.

This is also the most stable way to leave the nightmare world."

"So how long did it take you last time?"

"Gah...about three hundred years."

Richard frowned slightly. More than three hundred years was a very long time for a first-ring wizard. The maximum lifespan of a first-ring wizard was one thousand years, but there were very few wizards who could actually live to this age.

The theoretical human lifespan can reach over 100 years, but there are only a few true centenarians.

"Is there any faster way?"

“Well, yes, if you are lucky and come across the dream door, you can go out directly. But the probability of this…” Ulysses did not continue, probably because the probability of this dream door appearing is very touching.

Richard frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "You can come in, but you can't take me out? Has your soul not recovered enough?"

Ulises shook his head and said, "Gah, first of all, I am just a soul projection now, and my soul is still in the material world. Secondly, my ability is not in this area. If I were the old woman in our place who likes to play with incense,

Even if I am only a first-level creature, I can still pull you back with the power of faith."

Seeing this, Richard had no choice but to accept the reality.

"Tell me how to collect the power of nightmares." Richard said helplessly.

This kind of thing happened when he was doing a simple task. He felt that his luck had been exhausted by the series of gains he had made before.

No, how can a wizard talk about luck?
It's all probability!

"Gah, this is easy." Ulises flew in front of Richard, "You just need to find a projection of an intelligent creature from the wizarding world in the nightmare world, then enter his dream and scare him."

"It sounds simple." Richard nodded.

"Ha, but this method is a bit slow. After you have accumulated some nightmare power, don't do this anymore, otherwise you won't be able to collect enough even if you die." Ulises continued, "Every intelligent creature in the nightmare world has nightmare power.

The nightmare power of these creatures can be plundered through some means.

The simplest way is to eat them, but the advanced nightmare creatures in the nightmare world generally choose to keep low-level nightmare creatures in captivity, and then let them hand over a nightmare crystal condensed by nightmare power at regular intervals and in fixed quantities.

Devouring these nightmare crystals is also a way to quickly gain nightmare power."

Richard said thoughtfully: "So... the creatures in the nightmare world have their own society, right?"

"Gah, that's correct. According to the language of the wizarding world, those advanced nightmare creatures should be called nightmare lords."

Richard nodded, and then asked one last question:
"How should I deal with these nightmare creatures? This world gives me a very strange feeling."

As he spoke, Richard raised his hand and a black fireball appeared in his hand.

"The rules of this world are not much different from the wizarding world. I can still use spells. So can the nightmare creatures in this world be killed by my spells? Or do they have to use that nightmare power to be solved?"

"Ga, yes, the nightmare wizard world is a reflection of the wizard world. All the rules are the same, except that there are exclusive rules for the nightmare world. Those nightmare creatures will still be hurt when attacked by spells.

But nightmare creatures have many different abilities, and nightmare power is essential if you want to break through them."

"Okay, everything is clear now." Richard waved his hand. As long as the nightmare creatures could be killed by magic, it would be fine.

"Let's go find an unlucky guy and collect some nightmare power."

……

The environment of the nightmare world is very strange, and it seems that all creatures have become weird.

Walking in the wilderness, Richard plucked a flower from the bushes beside him. The flower had yellow petals and looked very ordinary, but in the pistil was a wrinkled baby face.

Richard touched the person's face lightly, and the person's face let out a shrill crying sound, just like a real baby.

And as one flower began to cry, the entire field of flowers around Richard seemed to be awakened, and the dense crying of babies came one after another, like the cries of evil spirits in hell. Richard threw the human face flower into his sleeve and quickly flew across the grass.

Due to the special rules of the nightmare world, Richard has nothing on him except his clothes, which also makes Richard lose his magic pocket, a spatial prop.

But according to Ulysses, as long as he has the power of nightmare, Richard can use the power of nightmare to create a magic pocket, and the magic is even more exaggerated than the power of faith.

The power of faith only stopped the giant insect, but the power of nightmare directly transformed the object into a real thing, and it was an exquisitely crafted magic prop.

The wizarding world is huge, filled with large uninhabited areas, and Richard has no idea where the wilderness is, so he can only search around like a headless fly.

Soon, the blood moon set.

Its daybreak.

A black sun slowly rose from the eastern horizon. This sun was like a black hole that swallowed a star. The center looked pitch black, but there was a circle of white light around the edge.

Richard took a look at it, and then his attention was attracted.

There seems to be something in the center of this black sun?
Is that a... line? No, based on the size of the Black Sun, that line should be larger than the mountain.

But as Richard looked at it for a longer time, a layer of black flames suddenly ignited on his body.

The black flames were incredibly hot, but Richard seemed not to feel it and continued to stare at the black sun in fascination.

Ulises, who noticed something was wrong, suddenly shouted, "Gah, don't look at that thing!

That thing is alive!"

Ulises’ voice seemed to carry some kind of power. As his warning came out, Richard quickly looked away as if awakened from a dream.

And after he looked away, the black flames on his body disappeared instantly.

"Is that a nightmare creature?"

Richard said with some fear that he had only taken a look and was nearly burned to death.

The abilities of these nightmare creatures are terrifying.

"Gah, so what?" Ulises said casually, "The nightmare world is not the material world, everything is possible here.

Maybe we are now in the body of some nightmare creature."

……

The lesson of Black Sun gave Richard a deeper understanding of the nightmare world. On the way to find intelligent creatures, he became cautious in facing everything.

After searching for nearly three days, Richard finally found a village in the wilderness.

As long as you find a village, you can find more human settlements near the village.

But strangely, when Richard entered the village, he found that the entire village was empty.

This village was not like the deserted villages Richard had seen in the wilderness. The houses, roads, and wells in this village were all very complete, and the houses were filled with usable furniture.

Logically, there should be at least a few hundred people in this village.

"Gah, maybe it has something to do with time." Ulises said, "The rotation of the sun and the moon is one of the rules of your world. Maybe this rule is linked to the nightmare rule."

Richard nodded when he heard this. What Ulysses said was exactly what he had guessed in his mind.

Most creatures in the wizarding world work at sunrise and rest at sunset. With this schedule, most creatures only sleep at night, and can only dream at night.

In this way, it is reasonable for the sun and moon rotation rules to be linked with the nightmare rules.

Richard found a room in the village and sat down, quietly waiting for the blood moon to rise.

Three hours later, the black sun set and the blood moon rose.

An invisible change occurred in the village.

The whole village seemed to have changed a little.

Richard sat in the room and opened his eyes silently.

Although meditation is not possible in the nightmare world, sleep becomes extremely efficient.

Richard only slept for a dozen minutes, but his mental state improved as if he had been meditating.

As the blood moon gradually rose, the whole village began to become lively.

One after another, strange creatures emerged from the bottles and jars in the village. These creatures looked like synthetic beasts made by some poorly crafted wizard apprentices. They looked both weird and disgusting.

Ulises looked at these little guys and introduced them to Richard:
"Gah, these little creatures are the lowest level of intelligent creatures in the nightmare world - nightmare spirits. These little guys have very low combat power and are one of the most common nightmare creatures in the nightmare world."

As he spoke, a nightmare spirit came to Richard and asked loudly:

"Hey man, why haven't I seen you before?

You came from outside."
