The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 235 Holy Guards

The dragon beast breeding base is divided into four floors, the outermost floor is where most of the dragon beast knights guard, and it is also the warehouse of the breeding base.

The corpses of various fire beasts are placed in huge rooms. In these rooms, there are alchemical props made by dragon alchemy. These props form a field in the room that can slow down the decay of the corpses and the loss of essence in the corpses.

In the gap between the shadows, Richard walked out of a warehouse and made a mark on the map in his hand.

This map was a rough one drawn based on Ulysses's exploration results. Richard made marks on it so that he could pick up some spoils when retreating later.

In this gap of shadows, although the creatures in the material world cannot find Richard, Richard cannot interact with the objects in the material world. He can only come into contact with these things after he comes out of the gap.

The second floor of the dragon beast breeding base is the dragon beast breeding farm. The dragon beasts that are bred are not adults and must grow in the breeding farm for a period of time before they can be used as mounts for dragon beast riders.

Entering the third floor, this floor seems to be used as a laboratory.

Richard saw several fire lizards tying a deformed-looking dragon beast to a platform, then took out a few metal nails and skillfully inserted them into the dragon beast's body.

As the nails pierced into its body, the dragon beast stopped struggling.

Then, Richard saw a fire lizard take out props and skillfully dissect the dragon beast. The deformed parts were cut off and then stored in a golden jar.

As for the remaining part, after being checked by the Salamander, it was taken away by the Dragon Knight and chopped up as food for the little dragon beasts.

"Is this an anatomical study? The Salamanders are quite civilized." Richard exclaimed.

The whole set of operations performed by the fire lizard was very smooth and standardized, and it was obvious that it had been going on for a long time.

But the more civilized they become, the more thoroughly the wizards will destroy them.

After passing the third floor, Richard quickly arrived at the fourth floor. On this floor, Richard finally saw the core of the breeding base.

In the nearly one square kilometer of land in front of him, there were huge crystal culture chambers standing in rows, and in the culture chambers were placed dragon beast embryos.

"They are indeed the relics of the Forerunners. These fire lizards actually have so many Forerunner relics!" Richard looked at the culture chambers in front of him, his expression so excited that he couldn't express it in words.

Compared with this base, the Forerunner relics he had obtained before were simply waste.

But just when Richard was excited, Ulysses suddenly poured a bucket of cold water on him.

"Gah, don't get excited so quickly, take a closer look at these things."

"look carefully?"

When Richard came to these culture chambers, he suddenly discovered that the control consoles underneath these culture chambers did not seem to be made of crystal, but metal.

Among the Forerunner relics that Richard had come into contact with before, the Forerunner items were all special crystals. I have never seen them use metal?
Ulises expressed his guess:

"Gah, I guess these are the equipment that the Forerunners left for their vassal army. Otherwise, after so many years, these instruments should have broken down long ago.

I don't believe these lizards can repair the Forerunner's stuff.

If you look closely, even the things they can maintain are broken.”

Richard walked around the cultivation chambers and found that just as Ulysses said, a considerable number of machines in the square were broken.

Ulises sighed:

"Gah, time is the most terrible poison. It can cause gods to fall, machines to decay, great forerunners to degenerate into natives, and the brilliant starry sky to become silent."

"Can the forerunners degenerate into natives?" Richard asked casually.

"Gah, of course. A few ambitious people and a civil war can tear a vast civilization apart. Ambitious people occupy each corner and fight each other. Then the craft begins to be lost, and the technology begins to be discontinued, until they have exhausted the last bit of civilization, and the last tool that can allow mortals to leave the world has become scrap metal.

Thus, the great forerunners degenerated into natives. "

Ulises's tone was ups and downs as he narrated this process, as if he was singing the end of a civilization.

"Your civilization of gods was born from the corpse of this civilization?" Richard asked curiously.

"Gah, no, this is what I heard from the bard in the tavern world. The tavern world is an imaginary world, where there live creatures called bards. These creatures collect interesting stories from various worlds and sing them in the tavern to gain praise and admiration from the guests.

These creatures, by the way, feed on such praise and wonder.

If you come across one of these creatures, you might as well tell him a story.

These little guys will use things they think are useless to exchange with you for stories they think are good enough, such as rule fragments or something. "

The world of taverns, bards who feed on wonder and praise.

Richard felt that the world was truly wonderful and there were so many things he had never seen.

Richard walked around the machine but didn't touch anything.

He was waiting, waiting for other wizards to take action and draw fire to him.

Although he has the help of Ulysses, Richard is only a second-ring wizard after all. Being weighed down by such a burden, Ulysses would be a little hesitant when taking action.

Suddenly, Richard saw the salamander operating the machine in the square begin to move.

A wizard has been discovered by the Salamander!
……

On the third floor of the base near the fourth floor, Malphite transformed into a three-meter-tall stone giant, punching a second-level fire lizard cake. The reason why he was discovered was also very simple.

"Damn it, you Salamanders are taking measures to prevent dust!"

As Malphite was discovered, the security of the entire base was mobilized. Salamander Knights rode their dragon beasts along the wide corridor and charged towards the inner layer. The third-level Salamanders responsible for guarding the inner ring also revealed their true faces.

[Suspicious target found] [Suspicious target found]

Several sealed houses on the third floor suddenly broke apart, and ten huge creatures nearly four meters tall walked out of them.

From the appearance of these creatures, one can vaguely see the general shape of fire lizards, but their bodies are covered with a layer of armor similar to exoskeleton armor.

Salamander's ears kept hearing the broadcast from the armor. In his sight, a logo was locked on Malphite, who was punching Salamander biscuits one by one, and a series of messages appeared next to him.

[Target: Semi-elemental creatures]

[Energy intensity level 245, physical fitness equivalent to 250-299, mental strength is . ]

[Danger rating: Dangerous]

[Killing strategy: It is recommended to use high-frequency shock punches for close combat, or use the elemental annihilation cannon. ]

The Salamander did not read the information that he could not understand. The characters used in the sacred armor were dragon characters. These characters used by their former masters were abolished when the first Salamander King killed the Dragon King.

Although the first Salamander King ordered the civil servants to pass down these texts, the uncertainties over the long years were enough to cause non-negligible errors in any sophisticated program.

By the time he received the sacred armor, only a few words of the dragon text remained.

The Salamander whispered to the armor in Dragon Language:

"neglect!"

The next moment, all the information about Malphite disappeared from his sight.

He stretched his body and strode towards Moffitt.

boom!
Malphite was knocked back several meters by the punch, and a huge crack appeared on the arm used to block the punch. The shock wave generated by the collision instantly made the surrounding fire lizards dizzy.

"This is... a relic of the Lost!"

Malphite looked at the metal monster in front of him, and a hint of greed flashed through his heart.

As long as he takes this thing away and presents it to the Tower of Truth, he will have enough merit to apply for the Great Wizard Trial!

"Native, you are really my lucky star!"

Malphite looked at the size of the armored fire lizard, and an astonishing energy fluctuation suddenly burst out from his body. Runes appeared on Malphite's body one by one. Within a few seconds, Malphite turned into a rune stone giant.

But the next moment, Moffitt's body flew backwards.

"Armor, extreme combat mode."

The fire lizard uttered two sentences of dragon characters, the meaning of which he knew clearly, and then the sacred potion was injected into his body. He felt his body suddenly lighten, and an endless amount of energy surged in his body.

The fire lizard swung its hand, and a chainsaw sword wrapped in energy arcs popped out from its arm armor.

"Wizard, today is the day you die!"

……

While a battle was going on on Malphite's side, the other wizards were naturally not idle either.

They took advantage of the chaos to approach the central area, ready to destroy all the incubators, but before they could get close, several other fire lizards wearing sacred armor found them.

In the eyes of the fire lizard, all these hidden wizards were identified.

In the face of the forerunners' creations, the wizards' methods were obviously not secretive enough.

Information about wizards popped up quickly, and was then ignored by the fire lizard at the same speed.

So the battle began.

The fire lizards activated their extreme combat mode, each one like a mad dog. The wizard wanted to resist, but found that the armor on these fire lizards had an absurdly high magic resistance.

The fire wizard's fireball with an energy level of over 5,000 hit the armor, but apart from the impact that made the fire lizard retreat two steps, it didn't even leave a scratch on the armor.

"Starlin, do you have any idea how to deal with the armor of these fire lizards?"

While Theodore was manipulating gravity to fight the armored salamanders, he was discussing countermeasures with Starlin, the wizard who was most familiar with alchemical machinery.

But he did not wait for an answer.

Because at this moment, Starlin had been torn into pieces by two armored lizards, and even his soul had been captured by the armor.

The situation is developing in a direction that is unfavorable to wizards.

……

In the city of Luxor outside the breeding base, Balasar was in his office, watching the battle between wizards and armored salamanders in the base on a light screen.

Next to him, Toin was trembling with fear as he waited for Balasar's verdict. A nail could be vaguely seen on his forehead.

"The battle of the Holy Guards is something you will never get tired of watching no matter how many times you watch it."

Balasar sighed, then looked at Toin on the side.

With a slight smile on his face, he said in a leisurely tone: "Toin, this time it's all thanks to you. If you hadn't turned from evil to good, these Holy Guards would still be eating free meals in the king's palace."
