The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 259 The Returning Exploration Team
"They are back!?" Azuhan said in surprise.

"Well, I'm back today, you can go and have a look." Akara yawned, and a golden flame spurted out of her mouth, "I'll sleep a little longer."

Azuhan nodded, then quickly left the room and came to the reception room.

In the reception room, several fire lizards with a noble aura sat on chairs without saying a word, exuding an aura that kept strangers away. The maids in the pyramid were trembling with fear just standing next to them.

Azuhan walked into the reception room: "Everyone, thank you for your hard work during this period!"

When several fire lizards saw Azuhan coming in, they immediately stood up from their chairs and saluted him.

Azuhan made a gesture, and the maid in the reception room left the room. With a loud bang, the heavy metal-clad obsidian door of the reception room was closed.

A special field instantly enveloped the entire room.

"Sir, we have accomplished your mission. During this overseas survey, we found what you were looking for."

Among the several fire lizards, the most majestic one untied a metal tube from the belt around his waist. The surface of the metal tube was covered with gold patterns, and it was obviously a creation of dragon alchemy.

Salamander opened it and poured out a leather scroll. The content of the scroll was a map, which recorded several routes and several islands dotted in the ocean.

Azuhan took the map and stared at it again and again.

After a long time, he closed the scroll again and said solemnly to the fire lizards:
"Everyone, you are the great contributors to the Salamander Clan. Your contributions will be recorded forever in history books and passed down for millennia."

Azuhan's words were very sincere. What this map represents is very important.

On the outskirts of the main continent of the Chiyang World is a boundless sea of ​​lava. Normally, even the craziest fire lizards can only hunt some fire beasts in the shallow sea of ​​the lava sea.

And no salamander has ever been to the depths of the lava sea.

But after the War of the Three Kings began, Azuhan had to face the reality that they would most likely be defeated.

By then, the entire Chiyang world will be the wizard's back garden, and all the fire lizards will be the wizard's slaves.

Therefore, Azuhan began to think about how they could preserve the fire after the Salamanders were defeated.

The plan to explore the lava sea was born.

In the ancient legends of the Salamanders, the Lava Sea is not just lava. Legend has it that there are many islands on the Lava Sea. These islands are the homes of some strange dragons who live in seclusion and do not care about worldly affairs. There are even rumors that there are dragons living on these islands.

For this plan, the Shield of Morik spent a lot of resources to build a golden boat that could cross the lava sea, and sent the most loyal and reliable executive commissioners in the Shield of Morik to explore.

The ferocity of the lava sea is no less than that of the wizard. There live a large number of fire beasts and fire elemental creatures in the lava sea, which have caused great trouble to the fleet.

In an exploration, it is a great fortune if five out of ten ships can return.

Fortunately, after the merger of the two empires, the number of personnel and resources available to the Shield of Morik was greatly increased. With the tacit approval of Harash and Maihan, this expensive exploration plan was carried out again and again.

The 10th group of Salamanders that have returned so far have explored for the longest time and finally found the legendary island. They also found the skeleton of a giant dragon on the island.

This further proves the credibility of the legend.

The Lava Sea Fire Project finally succeeded after paying a huge price.

Hearing Azuhan's praise, several fire lizards couldn't help but burst into tears.

During their exploration, they lost too many companions. They were eaten by giant fire beasts, blasted into charcoal by fire elemental creatures, and blown into ashes by the burning wind of the lava sea... Every time they went out to sea, it meant a life-or-death struggle.

The unknown of the road ahead turns into fear that always hangs over every fire lizard that goes out to sea.

They would even rather fight wizards than explore unknown waters in the lava sea.

Now, it's finally over.

"Everyone, due to the special nature of the mission, I cannot award you medals or hold a celebration banquet." Azuhan had a complicated expression. He pushed open the door of the reception room and gave instructions to the maid outside.

Soon, the maids came in carrying heavy bags.

"I don't have any spiritual honor, I can only repay you with material things. This is a little bit of money, you can take it back and have a rest.

During this period of time... a lot of things have happened in the empire."

Several fire lizards looked at each other, they took the pockets and put them into their mouths full of golden coins.

These gold coins are a huge sum of money even for the Silver Horn nobles.

None of them were Silver Horn nobles, so when faced with material rewards, they did not refuse and accepted them all.

A-Zu rarely saw them all accept it, and nodded with satisfaction. He smiled and said to the fire lizards:

"Everyone, please forgive me for being busy and not entertaining you. Akara is pregnant recently and my work schedule is a bit tight."

When several fire lizards heard this, they were all stunned.

Princess Akara is pregnant?

It seems that a lot of things happened in the empire during the time they were exploring the lava sea.

After congratulating, several fire lizards left the palace.

Looking at the fire lizards coming and going on the street, several fire lizards that went out to sea to explore felt as if they were in another world.

Soon, the leading fire lizard asked several team members around him:

"Master Azuhan has given us so much money, what are you going to do with it?"

As he spoke, a smile of understanding appeared on his face.

"I have many connections. If the price is high enough, I can even get a date with a young lady from a Silver Horn noble family."

Several team members smiled at the same time, but one shook his head. "I can't. My son is studying alchemy with Master Haye, and there are many places where he can spend money."

As he spoke, the fire lizard sighed, and his temperament was like that of a middle-aged office worker with elderly parents and young children to take care of, a son attending a private aristocratic school, and a wife who was still unemployed.

The other fire lizards looked at him with pity. Alchemy is a skill that costs a lot of money.

Although this amount of money is a lot, it is not enough to study alchemy for a long time.

"Logar, your kid looks stupid. Is he going to learn alchemy?"

The Salamander who spoke didn't finish his words, but everyone knew what he meant.

Logar waved his hand: "I know my limits. Master Haye is very satisfied with his talent, otherwise I wouldn't have kept him studying."

After hearing this, the fire lizards said nothing more.

They separated on the road, Logar returned to his residence, while they went to the tavern arm in arm to spend the night drinking.

Logar's residence was in the suburbs of the royal capital. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a young fire lizard fiddling with a ball of metal that was constantly changing shape.

The fire lizard turned and looked at the gate, and said in a daze:

"Logar, you're back."

After saying that, he stood up and walked to Logar and hugged him.

Logar smiled and hugged the Salamander, then went into the house.

The house was empty, but it was very clean. There was a portrait of a family of four hanging on the wall, and the frame was wiped clean.

Logar handed the bag of gold coins to the young fire lizard and said softly:
"Climb up, and take this money to find Master Haye later."

"...Logar, Master Haye said I don't need to look for him anymore. He said he has nothing to teach me."

Logar was stunned. Although Master Haye was not the most powerful alchemist in the Shield of Morik, he was also ranked in the top ten. Before he went out to sea, Papa had just learned alchemy from him.

It's only been more than two years, how come there is nothing to teach?

Logar thought for a long time, and two possibilities popped into his mind.

"Did you make Master Haye angry?"

“I don’t know, but Master Haye always looks at me in a strange way. He keeps saying ‘impossible, impossible’, and I don’t know what he’s talking about.

I clearly did everything he taught me.”

Logar was speechless. Now there might be only one left.

This "son" of his is an alchemy genius.

"Okay, I'll go find him tomorrow to ask what's going on. You go have fun."

After saying that, Logar dragged his tired body up to the second floor.

Entering the bedroom, Logar lay on the bed and then picked up the portrait on the bedside. In the portrait, the family of four was happy and harmonious, but if you look closely, you will find a small fire lizard on the edge of the portrait, which obviously does not match the portrait.

It looks like an afterthought.

As Logar looked at the portrait, tears welled up in his eyes.

He murmured, "It's been ten years, Mishan, are you and Papa doing well in the underworld?"

……

Azuhan's idea was soon transformed into a concrete plan, and the entire United Empire's Salamander army was divided into countless teams of twenty people following one order.

The teams were ordered to lie in wait and then spontaneously attack the wizards.

Thanks to the previous reduction of troops, this order was quickly passed on to various fire lizard legions, and the fire lizard warriors were divided into countless teams within a month.

Then the wizard encountered a strange scene.

Their troops were invincible, but they could not find the main force of the Salamanders. It was only during the interrogation of the Soul Wizard that they learned about the Salamanders' plan.

"All divided into teams of twenty?"

Richard was surprised to hear Vladimir's news.

These fire lizards are quite intelligent and courageous.

As long as the army is dispersed, the wizard's greatest advantage - the great wizard - will no longer exist.

"What does command say, Master."

Vladimir took a puff of his pipe and said slowly:

"What else can I say? Disperse and suppress the bandits. These fire lizards are quite smart. This is a really great move. By separating the armies, the influence of the great wizard is minimized, and they will not be eliminated as a whole.

But this is not bad for us. These Salamanders are not difficult for us to hunt. They are good for making specimens or capturing slaves."

When Richard heard this, he realized that this was indeed the case.

“That’s good, I just need to capture a few Salamander slaves.

Salamander's plan this time is a win-win situation."
