The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 18: Treasure Waste Paper Pile

Anna's class was very interesting, and her explanation of the ancient art of alchemy was simple and easy to understand. The two-hour class ended in a blink of an eye, and when the time was up, Anna left the classroom as quickly as she had come.

"Alchemy... This thing is very compatible with the Miracle Crucible."

Richard looked at the blackboard and touched his chin. Alchemy covers a wide range, among which the most well-known are potions and magic equipment.

Among them, potions require recipes and a lot of practice. Both of these are extremely expensive. The same is true for magic equipment, which is what apprentices commonly call magic props. Spell models and practice materials are not much cheaper than potion recipes and medicinal materials.

But this was not a difficult task for Richard.

A lot of practice can be made up by refining skills. Potion formulas and spell models can also be refined directly.

And according to Anna, although alchemy costs money, it can also make money. Her alchemy shop in the college's commercial district can bring her nearly a hundred magic stones of income every month.

And this is when she doesn't have time to take care of it.

"The library should have books on alchemy. Let's go take a look later."

After leaving the classroom, Ellie wanted to take Richard to the commercial district. The prosperity of the commercial district seemed to have stimulated the shopping part in her blood.

"No, I'll check it out at the library."

Richard waved goodbye to Ellie. Ellie looked at Richard's back and stomped her feet in frustration.

I came to the library again, but this time the librarian Finna didn't show up.

Richard was looking for books about alchemy in the crystal ball, when suddenly a batch of books with unknown names caught his attention.

"Unknown? Interesting."

Li found the area where the unknown books were placed and discovered that many apprentices were picking them up.

"Senior, may I ask what these books with unknown names are?" Lizhao looked for a young apprentice and asked.

"Oh, a new student?" The apprentice was a little surprised, "These books are the notes of some dead wizards during the Wizard War. These notes are written in cipher, and no one can understand them except the wizards themselves.

The dean placed these notes in the library to see if the apprentice could by chance decipher them.”

As she spoke, she pointed to the apprentices around her.

"We are all here to try our luck."

"I see. Sorry to bother you."

Richard's heart was pounding when he got the answer.

Suddenly he had a bold idea.

He picked up a notebook, and the symbols in the notebook were completely different from wizarding language. But Richard did not try to decipher it, but tried to use the Miracle Forge.

[Materials: Notes of an unknown wizard]

[Information that can be extracted: Physical fitness enhancement potion formula]

[Refining consumption: 25 mental power]

[Lack of mental strength]

"Sure enough, these ciphertexts can also be extracted."

Richard suppressed his excitement and looked at the bookshelf as if he had seen a gold mine.

He put the note back to its original place and wrote down the number. He didn't have enough mental strength to refine this note yet, so he had to put it aside for the time being.

But with so many notes, Richard believed there was always one he could refine now.

[Materials: Notes of an unknown wizard]

[Extractable information: One hundred and thirty-two failure cases]

[Materials: Notes of an unknown wizard]

[Information that can be extracted: 342 diaries] [Raw materials: Notes of an unknown wizard]

[Information that can be extracted: Experience of mating with thirty-two alien creatures]

……

As Richard continued to explore with the Miracle Furnace, his expression changed from ecstasy to a bit of a helpless smile.

Why do these wizards write everything in their notes?
Richard put the notebook recording his mating feelings back to its place with some anger, and then wrote down its number.

Ahem, don’t think too much.

Richard was simply interested in the body structure of alien creatures.

After searching the bookshelf for a long time, Richard finally found a notebook that he could refine.

[Materials: Notes of an unknown wizard]

[Refinable part: Bloodline Alchemy Formula]

[Refining consumption: 15 mental power]

[Whether to refine]

"no."

Richard put the crystal ball over the book number, and a white light flashed on the crystal ball, and a line of text appeared in the crystal ball.

[Apprentice Richard has borrowed book number n7891 for three days. Please come to the library to continue borrowing when the loan expires. This book is free and can be recorded.]

"Free books can be recorded, but books that require magic stones cannot be recorded." Richard touched his chin, "I wonder what method the academy used to prevent the leakage of paid books. Is it a curse?"

But Richard didn't think too much about it, he was a rule-abiding man.

Richard returned to the dormitory with his notes and chose to refine his notes. It was another familiar fainting. When Richard woke up, the sky was already dark.

"Let me see what this book on blood alchemy talks about."

Richard absorbed the white light, and he also learned the reality of blood alchemy.

"Integrate the blood of other creatures into your own body to gain abilities or strength when necessary. And it's not just one creature. This blood alchemy can actually fuse the blood of multiple creatures together, creating an effect where one plus one is greater than two."

Richard looked at the notes in front of him and suddenly remembered Saban, whom he had killed.

Saban's situation seems a bit similar to blood alchemy. Could it be that the legendary knights in their legends are all wizards who use blood alchemy?
Thinking of this, Richard hurriedly took Saban's armlet. Comparing the contents of the armlet with the information in the notes, the breathing rhythm recorded on the armlet was very similar to the contents in the notes. The notes called this breathing rhythm breathing method, which was the method used to stimulate blood in the first stage of blood alchemy.

Thinking of Saban breathing out white air from his mouth and nose at that time, Richard slapped his thigh:
"It is true! The essence of the legendary knight is blood alchemy. The legendary knight who is said to be extremely powerful and possesses various special abilities is nothing more than a wizard or even a wizard apprentice who uses blood alchemy."

This discovery made Richard so excited that he could not wait any longer and went straight to the college library with his notes.

"Introduction to Alchemy", "Ancient Alchemy", "On the Advantages of Blood Alchemy"... Books on alchemy were sorted out one by one, and at this moment he had an idea in his mind.

He wanted to build a complete combat system centered on alchemy.

The methods of wizards are ever-changing. If these methods are represented as cards, each card has a corresponding solution. Richard's idea is to build a deck of cards based on the core card of Alchemy.

What he needs to do now is to determine whether alchemy can take on this task.

As he opened one book after another, Richard absorbed all kinds of information about alchemy, and his understanding of alchemy became more comprehensive, and his idea of ​​using alchemy to build a combat system became more firm.

Magical equipment, magic potions, blood alchemy, magic circles... Alchemy not only involves a wide range of things, but also has enough depth to serve as the core of a combat system.

After reading all the borrowed books, Richard breathed a sigh of relief.

The outline of a combat system with alchemy as the core and various spells as the auxiliary has taken shape in his mind. What he needs to do now is to increase his knowledge and complete this outline.

But before that, he still needs to complete one thing.

That is to find a mentor who can teach you alchemy.
