The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 205: The Heart of the Nightmare Lord

Seeing Ulysses suddenly appear, Bones was not too surprised.

In his opinion, the crow standing on his boss's shoulder should be a manifestation of his boss's talent, or even the boss's twin.

Nightmare creatures come in all sorts of strange shapes, so he doesn’t find it strange no matter what kind of nightmare creature appears.

Ulises looked around and flew around the ruins a few more times. Finally, he returned to Richard's shoulder and whispered in Richard's ear:

"Gah, something is watching us. According to you, the nightmare lord dragged the entire territory into the nightmare realm.

This is very unusual.

I suspect that the nightmare lord may not be dead, and he is now living in this territory in some form."

"Um!?"

Richard's face froze, and his pupils shrank unconsciously. Ulises' words were indeed somewhat horrifying. A living nightmare lord lived in this territory, so wouldn't the nightmare creatures that entered have become his meal?
"Gah, don't be nervous. Nightmare creatures are different from us. Without nightmare power, their strength will decline. If a nightmare lord loses his territory and subordinates, he will consume a lot of nightmare power unless he falls asleep.

After all these years, even if this nightmare lord is still alive, the nightmare power he controls is probably almost exhausted. "

Ulises looked around and continued:

"Ha, but we'd better leave this damn place. After all, your 'real body' is not here. If this clone is lost, it will be a bit troublesome."

Richard nodded, he thought so too.

Although the nightmare artifact is very good, given their current strength, it is better not to take risks.

"You go explore the way, we'll leave now."

"Gah, okay."

Ulysses flew towards the outskirts of the territory, and Richard called his bones, ready to leave this damn place.

"Boss, don't you plan to take a look at that nightmare artifact?" Bone asked doubtfully.

He saw Richard and Ulysses whispering for a long time, thinking that they were planning how to obtain the nightmare artifact, but he didn't expect that after the discussion, they were actually going to leave.

Richard glanced at him and said earnestly, "Bones, what did I tell you? Now you have to live for the Lord.

Is this nightmare artifact something we can get our hands on? Taking it by force is not only very dangerous, but even if you get it, can you keep it when you get out?

The person who sent you the message never intended to let you live from the beginning. Even if we go out now, we will probably be hunted down.

Not to mention getting the artifact."

Listening to Richard's lecture, Bones nodded obediently.

Richard looked at him and couldn't help but sigh.

When he gave the bones names, he thought they would seem clever and help him in the future.

But now it seems that Bone's cleverness was only forced out by the need for survival. Once the crisis of survival is lost, this kid's brain starts to turn gray.

But whether it's raw or raw, dumb creatures are often more loyal.

Following Ulysses, Richard and the others came to the street where the bones had come from.

It was at this place that the priest was dragged into the surrounding houses by a group of dark shadows, and his life or death was unknown.

Before entering the street, Ulises suddenly stopped.

"Gah, there are too many nightmare rules left here." Ulises said vigilantly, "I think we'd better change the route."

But now Bone spoke:

"It's the same. We have explored the entire edge of the inner city. The entire inner city area has remnants of nightmare rules. This street is relatively better. At least we know where the point that triggers the rules is.

In other parts, some don’t even know what the special rules are.”

Hearing what Bone said, Ulysses stopped talking, fell on Richard's shoulder, and walked into the street together.

The street was very quiet, and the buildings on both sides looked pitch black when viewed from the windows, as if they were not windows but the mouths of some monster.

Knowing the rules, they kept their mouths shut as they walked and soon reached the edge of the inner city.

If they go further, they will enter the safe outer city area.

But Richard took a step forward and suddenly found himself still in the same place. He thought it was an illusion and took another step.

But the body remains in the same place.

He looked at the bones and found that they were the same. Ulises flew off Richard's shoulders and prepared to get out of the air.

But it is like this.

Ulises gave Richard a look and flew back.

There is nothing wrong with moving backwards.

Richard and the other followed, and after they walked out of the street, Ulises spoke:

"Gah, it's a space loop, someone doesn't want us to go out."

Richard's face was a little gloomy, and he whispered: "That nightmare lord?"

"Gah, I don't know, but what is certain is that we probably can't force our way out with our current strength alone."

This is a bit troublesome.

Bone heard the conversation between the two and felt filled with self-blame.

If he had been more alert and less arrogant about his own abilities, perhaps things wouldn't have come to this.

After a moment of silence, Richard said in a low voice: "Huh, it seems we have to see the nightmare artifact."

He only has this one clone and just one little brother, Bone. If they are all lost, all his arrangements in the nightmare world will be gone.

Although it seems now that Richard only lost a small move.

But in the long run, Richard lost his arrangement in the nightmare world and earned a lot of nightmare power. These nightmare powers can be transformed into soul essence after Richard can enter the nightmare world with his soul.

Moreover, this loss will change with the time it takes for the rationale to find a way to enter the nightmare world. The longer the time, the greater the loss.

Just like the giant fish that was not caught when fishing, as time goes by, the weight of the giant fish will increase from dozens of kilograms to hundreds of kilograms.

"Well, it's better to go and take a look." Ulysses didn't care. He couldn't get any of Richard's profits in the nightmare world. Even if Richard found a way to enter the nightmare world in the future, it would not have any effect on him as the master of this world.

"Who knows, maybe we can really conquer this divine weapon."

……

Bone led the way to the square, while Richard and Ulysses kept exploring the territory.

Richard has energy vision, so if there are any traps or ambushes in the entire territory, he can detect them immediately. Ulises, on the other hand, relies on his soul projection and acts without scruples. Even if the building is infected by the nightmare rules, who knows what monsters are hidden inside.

He also dared to go in and explore.

And his exploration was not a big deal, he actually found some useful things.

"Gah, this thing must be something that a nightmare lord could have created. After all these years, it still exists and can still move."

Ulysses was holding a palm-sized carriage in his claws, which looked like the carriage that the puppet Billy used to take Richard to the city of Amade.

But when Bone saw the carriage, he exclaimed:
"Boss! This isn't a nightmare creature, this is the Mist Driver! All of his nightmare power has been sucked away!"

"Oh?" Richard took the carriage with some surprise, and saw a little man about five or six centimeters tall coming out of the carriage. The little man was wearing a straw hat, holding a whip, and was a skeleton.

It's a smaller version of the Mist Coachman.

As soon as the little man appeared, he knelt down before Richard and shouted:

"Please spare my life, sir! I only have nightmare power now. Even if you eat me, it won't do any good."

Richard looked at the Mist Coachman with curiosity. This was a degenerated nightmare creature that he had not yet studied.

However, given his current situation, the cost of researching nightmare creatures seems a bit high.

Richard pinched the Mist Coachman and asked the bone:

"How about letting this little guy help you? From what you said before, he has a lot of knowledge and experience."

Bone was stunned, not knowing what Richard meant. But what Richard said was indeed right, the Mist Coachman was indeed knowledgeable and experienced.

"...That's fine." Bone thought for a moment and replied.

Having an experienced helper was a big help to his survival.

Richard looked at the Mist Coachman and said, "How about I give you a name, little one?"

As Richard's strength increased, the naming mechanism opened up more and more permissions to him.

From being able to sense emotions at the beginning to being able to draw nightmare power from those who have been given the name, which is greater than one's own.

If he reaches level three, I wonder what the name will bring him.

Hearing that Richard wanted to give him a name, the Mist Coachman nodded repeatedly:
"Thank you very much for the name!"

Giving a name is something that can only be done with the consent of both parties. The Misty Coachman agreed, so Richard gave him a name casually.

"You were called the Mist Coachman before, so I will call you Coachman now.

As the name was given, a connection instantly emerged between Richard and the Misty Coachman.

After giving the name, Richard took the driver to his presence and began to ask him about his experience.

The driver and the bones were transferred through space together, but the driver's fate was much worse than that of the bones who had Richard's help.

He was transferred to a regular neighborhood and was also surrounded and attacked by several nightmare creatures.

But the driver was stronger than Bones, and he fought as hard as he could while escaping, and eventually killed several nightmare creatures that surrounded him. But before he could be happy, he broke the rules and was pulled into the building by a group of shadows, who drained him of his nightmare power.

"Oh? There are rules in this neighborhood?"

Richard glanced at the houses around him and thought that this nightmare realm was truly powerful. Even if it was an infected land, the remaining rules could manipulate the nightmare at will.

"Yes, sir. This area has a noise limit, and I was violated because of the sound of the whip."

Richard nodded, used the power of nightmare to make a magic pocket, and put it in.

With Ulises around, the driver's experience was obviously not enough, and his role would only be revealed after they went out.

Soon, Richard and his party finally arrived at the edge of the square. On the chest of the Nightmare Lord's statue, a black pyramid was floating up and down.

"Gah, there's something wrong with this thing." Ulysses looked at the pyramid and suddenly said, "Why does this thing not feel like a nightmare artifact, but rather like..."

A voice suddenly came from the pyramid:

"Wizard, I want to make a deal with you."

Richard frowned and asked Ulysses, "Is this thing a spirit? Does it have a spirit?"

Ulises shook his head, looked at the pyramid and said in a deep voice:

"Gah, no, it's the heart of the former lord of this territory!"
