The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 232 Join the Program
In the basement, several wizards held their wands in their hands, their eyes fixed on the black crow that suddenly appeared.

It's not that they don't want to use their mental power to lock it, but there is no trace of this crow in their mental power detection. There is no trace of this black crow in either magic detection or sound wave detection.

If they could not see the black crow with their eyes and feel the pressure it brought to them with their bodies, they would almost have thought that the black crow was an illusion.

"Huh, why are there a group of wizards?" Black Crow looked at the wizards in the basement and said in surprise.

When the wizards heard Black Crow speaking wizard language, they were a little confused.

Why does this crow speak wizard language? And this black crow doesn't look like a species from the Red Sun World.

"Could this imposing black crow be a wizard's familiar?"

An astonishing guess flashed through the minds of the wizards.

But all the three-ring wizards from Luxor Province and surrounding provinces are in this basement at the moment. Logically, no three-ring wizards should pass by here.

"Who are you and why are you underground?" The old wizard Theodore spoke first.

“Gah, who are you scolding? You old fool.” Black Crow said angrily, “Can’t you see that I’m… a crow!”

Theodore was stunned by Black Crow's tone. Who was this Black Crow? How dare he be so arrogant in front of so many wizards?

"Master, why waste time talking to this alien."

A wizard whose whole body radiated the life light like the sun interrupted.

The wizard stared at the black crow, and even drooled greedily. Wizards who specialized in physical evolution had an instinctive desire for the flesh and blood of higher-level creatures. Level 3 creatures were simply a rare delicacy for them.

This is an instinctive reaction from deep in the blood. Some wizards choose to overcome it, such as Richard, but some wizards choose to indulge it.

As he spoke, the wizard stretched out his big hand, trying to catch the black crow.

In the big hand, many mysterious runes emerged from the flesh and blood, turning into a rune net that was about to wrap up the black crow.

"Gah, you want to eat me!"

When Black Crow saw a wizard taking action and drooling at him, he instantly became furious.

"I really give you face!"

After saying that, the black crow did not dodge or evade. One of its claws quickly expanded and held the wizard's big hand.

The next moment, the wizard let out a scream, and a dark blue flame suddenly ignited on his palm. Under the flame, the palm of this three-ring wizard who had taken the physical evolution route turned into a pool of rotten meat in an instant, and his recovery ability was completely ineffective against the injury.

The physical wizard tried to pull his hand back, but it was firmly locked by the crow's claws.

The other wizards were silent when they saw this scene, and no one offered to help.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Black Crow had not intended to kill the wizard, but merely taught the wizard a lesson.

Soon, the entire palm of the physical wizard was reduced to nothing but bones.

Seeing that the lesson was almost over, Theodore, who was watching the fun nearby, finally spoke up: "Crow, please ask your master to come out."

The black crow glanced at Theodore, then released its claws and returned to the crack in the ground.

Soon, a black-robed wizard flew out from the crack in the ground.

The wizard's black robe had the function of concealing his aura, and several wizards could not see his background, but his face looked very unfamiliar. The three-ring wizards were a small circle, and except for a few wizards, the three-ring wizards in a floating city basically knew each other.

But one thing is certain, that is, the black crow just now was indeed this wizard's.

Because the crow was now standing on the left shoulder of the black-robed wizard.

Two floating cities were deployed in this plane war. Both sides have infiltrated the Linksa Empire. This wizard may be in another floating city.

Richard looked at the wizards in the basement, suppressed his panic, and said slowly, "Masters, I came here by chance. Please forgive me if I have offended you. May I ask where this place is?"

……

Looking at this mysterious black-robed wizard, the many wizards present looked at each other, and finally Theodore spoke.

"My friend, this is Luxor City, Luxor Province of the Linksa Empire. Although this place is not the core of the Linksa Empire, if you are lost, it would be difficult to get lost here."

Richard was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would get lost in the territory of Linksa Empire. But when he thought about it carefully, it seemed reasonable.

Red Earth Flats was not too far from the Linksa Empire, and it was normal for him to get lost in the area of ​​the Linksa Empire after he had been swimming in the lava sea for such a long time.

"It turns out that I got lost and came to the Linksa Empire. Thank you Master for your help." Richard politely gave Theodore a wizard salute.

The old wizard's life is coming to an end, and wizards below the level of Grand Wizard basically respect him.

Theodore was very pleased with Richard's politeness. Although he was not sure about Richard's strength, he could tell from the powerful crow that the black-robed wizard should be quite powerful.

After all, it is a common phenomenon in the wizarding world that pets are weaker than wizards.

The respect of the strong is always gratifying.

Theodore smiled and said humorously, "My friend, it seems you need a compass."

Several other wizards also laughed when they heard this.

The atmosphere in the basement also became a lot more relaxed.

"I don't think a compass will work for me." Richard shrugged helplessly, "There is magnetic interference in the magma sea." "Magazine sea?" The wizard whose body was almost made of fire suddenly asked, "Did you come out from the magma sea underground?"

Richard nodded: "Exactly."

Seeing Richard admit it, the wizard in the basement's eyes suddenly became a little strange.

This black-robed wizard doesn't look like a shapeshifter who studies the element of fire, but apart from a shapeshifter who studies the element of fire, who would go into the lava sea?

And from what Richard said, he had been in this lava sea for some time, otherwise he wouldn't have been so confused about his location.

“It doesn’t sound true.”

The same thought flashed through the minds of several wizards at the same time.

But they are all dark wizards and they all know their limits when it comes to keeping secrets from each other.

No matter why Cha came to this basement, he is a wizard after all.

They were now in a different world, and behind the alien race. At this time, any wizard was a friend or comrade-in-arms, and a wizard who suddenly appeared would only bring them benefits and no harm.

"Since you don't want to say, we won't investigate. But since you have come to our basement by accident, why don't you listen to our plan and see if you want to join us." Theodore said with a smile.

"Join the program?"

Richard looked at the table in the center of the basement, on which lay an extremely detailed map.

There is no doubt that these three-ring wizards are planning a big move.

But his current situation...it seems he can't refuse.

Not to mention the physical wizard next to him who was eyeing him covetously, just based on his current position, it would be difficult for him to stay out of it.

He is now in Luxor City, the center of Luxor Province. He has heard from Iyad that this province is an important province of the Linksa Empire, and the Dragon Beast Knights of the Linksa Empire are stationed here.

In such an important military province, it would be difficult for him to return to the wizard territory quietly without the help of these three-ring wizards.

He is now behind enemy lines. Once discovered, he will definitely be hunted down by the fire lizards of the Linksa Empire.

Although he has Ulises as his helper, this helper has to sleep from time to time and is really unreliable.

After thinking for a moment, Richard made a decision.

"What big thing are you planning? Can you tell me about it?"

When Theodore saw that Richard did not directly refuse, he knew that the matter was settled.

He smiled and said, "We are planning to attack the Dragon Beast Knights' dragon beast breeding base. This base is of utmost importance to the Dragon Beast Knights. Once it is successfully completed, our future war against the Linksa Empire will be much easier.

We were just about to vote by show of hands."

As he spoke, Theodore scanned the entire basement.

"Everyone, please raise your hands and vote."

Several three-ring wizards thought for a moment, and four of them raised their hands. Including Theodore, the votes were five to three.

"The result is clear." Theodore smiled and turned to look at Richard. "Friend, do you want to join us?"

"Ahem, I knew that what you were planning was not a small matter, but I didn't know the benefits..."

Although Richard has decided to participate in this operation, he has to do it in full.

A wizard won't do anything where the risk doesn't match the reward.

"As for the benefits... I wonder if my friends have heard of The Lost Ones." Theodore's voice was low, as if he was telling some great secret.

【The Lost One】?
Richard searched his memory to make sure he had never heard of this name.

"Appreciate further details."

There was a hint of doubt in Theodore's eyes. Logically, a third-ring wizard should have some knowledge of the [Lost Ones]. How could this wizard not know about it?

However, Theodore did not think about it too much. He just thought that Richard participated in the plane war right after he was promoted to a three-ring wizard, or that after becoming a three-ring wizard, he did not find an academy to hold a nominal teaching position.

Ulises had left such a deep impression on them, how could the owner of such a creature be a weakling?

Theodore explained simply: "It is very complicated to explain the Lost Ones. You can go back and find an academy to learn more about them. I will give a brief overview. The Lost Ones are creatures that dominated this world community before we were born. This group of creatures disappeared in the ancient past for some unknown reason, but the things they created did not disappear.

The dragon beast breeding base we attacked this time may have the treasures left behind by the Lost Ones.

These treasures will be of great benefit whether you study them yourself or present them to a great wizard."

After listening to Theodore's explanation, Richard immediately understood what this so-called "Lost One" was.

Isn’t it just the pioneer? He is very familiar with it.

I didn’t expect that this group of fire lizards actually retained the pioneers’ instruments. This is really a pleasant surprise.

"I see. I'm on board with this plan."
