The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 171: Territory Management, Nightmare Monster

However, after entering the nightmare body, Richard quickly discovered the problem.

This body cannot be controlled by him now, because after the transformation, this body is equivalent to a nightmare creature. If he wants to control this body forcibly, it will cause the nightmare body to be digested by him and return to nightmare power.

It was like he had eaten the nightmare body.

Coming out of the nightmare body, Richard set his sights on the sealed core.

In the core, the imprisoned new consciousness was roaring. At this moment, he was equivalent to a paralyzed patient. No matter how he issued commands, his body remained motionless.

This feeling is simply torture.

Richard used his mental power to invade the core. Compared with Richard's mental power, the consciousness of this new nightmare creature was too weak.

"What are you! A monster! Get out of my body! Get out!"

The nightmare creature's consciousness let out a cowardly roar, but Richard paid no attention to it.

"interesting."

Richard looked at the nightmare body and fell into thought.

This new consciousness was somewhat beyond the scope of soul studies that Richard knew. This consciousness did not come from the soul, but was more like the electric current consciousness of the synthetic beast in alchemy - that is, a false personality formed purely by the mental power generated by the biological current stimulating the brain.

Richard didn't know much about this aspect, but what was certain was that even if he destroyed this consciousness with his mental power, as long as the core was still there and intact, a new consciousness would emerge in this core.

But Richard soon found a solution.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have a soul. I can give you some."

Richard smiled and condensed a soul seed.

Since this core will continuously generate new consciousness, he might as well use soul seeds to occupy the ecological niche of consciousness, leaving no place for new consciousness.

With a slight movement of his mental power, the newborn consciousness in the core was shattered by Richard, and the core began to generate new consciousness just as Richard had predicted.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Richard sent his soul seed into the core.

The spiritual power generated by the core was quickly controlled by Richard's soul seed, and thus could not form a new consciousness. The spiritual power generated by the core was also limited, and after reaching the limit that the core could bear, it would no longer be generated.

As the core no longer produces spiritual power, Richard's soul seed becomes the ruler of the core.

Richard then removed the seal and entered the nightmare body again.

This time, the nightmare body can finally move normally.

"Gah! I really did it for you!"

Ulises looked at the nightmare body moving freely and was a little surprised.

What Richard did was equivalent to taking over the body of a nightmare creature, which was much better than his plan of using the power of nightmare to create a body.

Richard is now hiding in the stomach of a nightmare creature, but this nightmare creature has not digested him.

In this case, even if Richard faced the Nightmare Lord, he could easily deceive him.

Richard raised a confident smile:

"This is the wisdom of the wizard."

Richard poured all the nightmare power he had collected into the Nightmare Body, and the strength of the Nightmare Body instantly reached the level of a legendary knight.

This also achieved the goal that Richard had started - continuous evolution.

Now that Richard has collected enough nightmare power, this body has become a big nightmare, and the Nightmare Knight may even be the Nightmare Lord.

In order to move towards this goal, Richard plans to slightly improve his efficiency in obtaining nightmare power.

……

At night, when the blood moon rises, the Nightmare Spirits crawl out of their hiding places and begin to prepare to gain the power of nightmares for the night.

But what was different today was that they were gathered in the center of the village again by Richard.

After a month of observation, Richard discovered that these nightmare spirits were very efficient in collecting nightmare power.

A nightmare spirit of average strength can only collect one nightmare power in ten nights.

A few powerful nightmare spirits that live a little longer can gain one to three nightmare powers in one night.

Moreover, these nightmare spirits often require collecting four or five dreams to obtain so many.

The efficiency is extremely low.

In addition, Richard also discovered that these nightmare spirits often fought with each other, which often resulted in the death of one of them, and the power of nightmare would enter the earth.

This fight does not lead to a decrease in the number of nightmare spirits. In the hidden corners of the village, these nightmare spirits often grow out of the ground.

This grow out means literally.

However, although fighting will not lead to a decrease in the number of Nightmare Spirits, it will cause the Nightmare Spirits to update extremely quickly, making it difficult for them to accumulate enough experience to scare people more efficiently.

A newly born nightmare spirit might not be able to gather any nightmare power in an entire night.

Richard set the commission standard at one third. Every time these nightmare spirits obtain a nightmare power, they must hand over one third of the nightmare power.

Therefore, in order to speed up the process of collecting nightmare power, Richard decided to give these nightmare spirits some small guidance so that they could collect more nightmare power every night.

……

In the center of the village, Richard stood in the air and shouted to the group of nightmare spirits of various shapes below.

"My little ones, you are too slow in collecting nightmare power! Today, I will teach you some tricks so that you can get more nightmare power when you scare people!
In addition, starting from tonight, all nightmare spirits are forbidden to fight! Any nightmare spirit that fights is my food! "

As soon as Richard said this, the nightmare spirits on the ground were in an uproar.

Among them, several nightmare spirits who had lived longer and were stronger grumbled to each other, thinking that this new nightmare spirit was really strange. They were forbidden to fight, and they had to teach those little guys how to scare people.

What a crazy guy.

"Quiet!"

A loud shout instantly silenced the Nightmare Spirit.

Richard looked at this group of nightmare spirits and said viciously:
"If anyone disagrees, please stand up. I promise to give him a dignified death!"

……

No one among the nightmare spirits dared to move.

Faced with this result, Richard nodded with satisfaction and then began his lecture.

The content of the lesson was simple. There was no need for any exaggerated or complicated scenes to scare these country folk.

A skeleton, a poisonous snake, a tall beast, or a ghost that can never be killed can scare these ordinary farmers.

And these things do not require nightmare spirits to control dreams.

They just need to change their appearance in their dreams.

These things can scare people no matter what the surrounding environment is.

After teaching the scary techniques, Richard's body suddenly split into several smaller Richards.

After becoming a wizard, Richard could split more soul seeds. A first-ring wizard could split ten soul seeds.

These small Richards are equivalent to Richard's clones, and are mainly used to maintain order among the nightmare spirits and prevent them from fighting each other.

After all, Richard couldn't teach them a lesson every day.

Richard followed suit and soon started teaching scary classes in four other villages.

Richard left two clones in each village to maintain order, while his original body began his research in a secluded room in the village.

In the nightmare world, there is more than just nightmare creatures that can be studied. The rules of this world completely replicate the wizarding world, and Richard can still conduct spell research in this world.

Although there is a lack of tools in this world, there is also research that does not require tools.

……

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, Richard had been in the nightmare world for nearly three months.

In the material world, Richard's body has been placed in a secret realm by Ulysses and is protected by the World Mushroom, so there is no safety issue.

In the nightmare world, Richard's collection of nightmare power is also progressing steadily.

After training and prohibition of fighting, the nightmare spirits under Richard have been greatly improved, and the nightmare spirits with the power of nightmare have become extinct.

On this basis, Richard further refined the management and arranged a fixed dream for each nightmare spirit, so that each nightmare spirit had a dream to enter.

After being managed in this way, nightmare spirits transformed into various ferocious beasts and evil spirits, and attacked the dream master head-on in the dream. Some nightmare spirits even learned on their own the method of giving a sweet treat first and then reversing the scare at the last moment, causing the corresponding village in the wizarding world to be filled with screams every night.

In this way, in just three months, Richard obtained an astonishing 15,000 nightmare powers. On average, a village could provide him with about 1,000 nightmare powers per month.

But according to the statistical data, the acquisition of nightmare power was the highest in the second month, and then dropped sharply in the third month.

After experiencing such high-intensity and repeated frights from the Nightmare Spirit, it is only a matter of time before these ordinary people develop immunity.

However, Richard did not make any changes. If the nightmares of several villages continued for a long time, it would definitely attract the attention of the wizard academy. If the wizards of the soul school or even the guardian of the wizard world were attracted, it would be bad.

Richard believed that the wizarding world must have done some research on the nightmare world.

It would be funny if I provoke the big guy and get slapped to death.

As for asking these wizards to rescue me.

Richard is a pure soul now. If he is rescued by a wizard, there will be some contact between souls. If other wizards discover the existence of the Miracle Furnace at this time, it will definitely be a big trouble.

Although the probability of the Miracle Furnace being discovered is very small, Richard would rather be safe and not take any risks if he has the means to escape.

With fifteen thousand nightmare powers integrated into his body, Richard's nightmare body has reached the level of a senior wizard apprentice.

With this strength, as long as he doesn't encounter those high-level nightmare creatures, he will basically be in no danger...

"Gah, Richard, come out quickly, we are in trouble!"

Ulises flew in from outside, sounding very anxious.

"What's making you so panicked?" Richard stood up and said calmly.

"Gah, come out with me and you'll know. Remember to turn on your energy vision."

Walking out of the room, Richard switched to energy vision.

Under the energy vision, a faint energy light path appeared on the ground. After following Ulises into the forest near the village, Richard was shocked by the scene before him.

A trace of nightmare power seeped out from the ground and gradually turned into a black nightmare creature.

Richard did not sense any intelligence in this nightmare creature, only a hunger as deep as the abyss.

"Ulises, what are these things?" Richard asked calmly.

In his hand, a magic wand made of nightmare power gradually took shape.

"Gah, these things are nightmare beasts. They will hunt down all intelligent nightmare creatures. They are the most annoying mad dogs in the nightmare world."

　I forgot the time, embarrassing
