The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 27 Notes (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

In the dense forest, Old John crouched down and carefully observed the marks of broken plants and blood on the ground in the moonlight.

"Go this way."

Old John made a judgment, pointed in a direction and whispered.

Locke's escape traces were very obvious. Even though many traces were burned by the fire, Old John still found his traces without any effort.

Following these traces, Richard came to a valley.

There was little vegetation in the valley, and Richard, lying on a high place, could easily see Locke who had lit a bonfire.

"That fat guy seems to be looking at something." Ellie whispered.

Richard also saw what Locke was holding - it was a notebook.

"I'll go up to him head-on later. Ellie, you stay by his side and use magic to prevent him from escaping. Old John, you hide first."

After arranging the plan, Richard opened his bloodline again, and after the black scales covered his entire torso, he cast silencing magic on himself.

Everything was ready. Richard suddenly emerged from the forest, holding a greatsword and rushing towards Loken like a black lightning.

Under the effect of the silencing spell, Richard's actions were almost silent, and Locke seemed to be distracted by the notes in his hand and did not notice anything wrong around him.

puff.

Blood splattered.

Locke actually realized the danger at the last moment and rolled to the side in a very embarrassed manner. Behind him, a terrible wound across his back was constantly oozing blood.

"You're not dead!" Locke was shocked.

"Not only is he not dead, but now I am going to take your dog's life."

Richard had a cold face and swung the sword in his hand again.

This time Loken was prepared, and two invisible barriers instantly appeared in front of the blade.

Two force field barriers!

Locke looked at Richard with some mockery.

"You idiot are just lucky. You've become a wizard's apprentice, and you only know how to use a sword!"

But what greeted him was Richard's sarcastic look.

If Saban could break through the force field barrier, how could Richard not be able to break through it?

The sharp sword tip whistled, and the barrier in front of Loken was instantly broken. This was the Duke of Hesse's famous skill, the Wind Crow Slash. In front of the high-speed sword blade, even plate armor could be cut in two. On the battlefield, this sword would often destroy both the man and the horse.

The sword blade swept across and the head flew off.

Locke's eyes were wide open, and he was still confused until his death.

How could his sword break through two layers of force field barriers!
Seeing that Richard's action was going smoothly, Ellie and Old John followed suit.

Looking at Locke's headless body, Ellie muttered something and the magic power surged in her body. A black gas flowed out from her fingertips and penetrated into Locke's body.

After a moment, Locke's body shrank rapidly like a deflated balloon, and his entire body instantly became skin and bones.

"It's done." Ellie looked at the body nervously.

This was her first time using a curse spell and she didn't know how effective it would be.

Suddenly, a big bulge appeared in the shriveled corpse. After a while, a white worm as big as a fist broke out of the bulge.

"Success!" Ellie shouted excitedly.

"What is this?" Richard asked curiously.

"This is a cursed bug, a casting material needed for many curse spells." Ellie took the bug in her hand. Unlike ordinary bugs, this bug became motionless after Ellie took it in her hand, without any struggle.

"This one is so big, if I sell it I'll probably get five magic stones."

“Is it still for sale?”

"Of course I can sell it." Ellie rolled her eyes at Richard and carefully put the bug into the bag around her waist. "This thing can be used as a spell material to curse others, and it can also be used as a spell material to resist curses."

"That's a good thing, then."

After experimenting with the spell, Richard picked up the notes that Locke was reading from the ground.

The pages of the notebook were a little yellowed, and the edges were a little wrinkled due to moisture. It looked like it had been thrown out in the wild for some time.

The notes were written in wizard language, and the records were a little blurry, but most of them were clearly visible. This saved Richard the trouble of refining his mental power. Actually, Richard was not sure if he could refine something with blurry handwriting.

After flipping through a few pages, Richard finally understood why that group of people wanted to kill Locke.

"The notes of a senior apprentice. How could such a thing appear in the Black Rock Mountains?"

Confused, Richard began to look through his notes in front of the fire.

"On July 10, it rained heavily
The weather is bad today. It started raining heavily the day before yesterday and it has been raining continuously. If it continues like this, mushrooms will grow in the room.

July 15, sunny

The rain finally stopped. A massage parlor opened in the black building next door today. I heard it can relieve mental fatigue, but I don't know if it's true or not.

Let’s go check it out tomorrow.

July 16, sunny

The massage parlor is quite effective, and I heard that the special programs are even more effective.

Going to try it tomorrow.

July 17, sunny

Go to a massage parlor.

July 18, cloudy weather

Go to a massage parlor.

July 19, sunny

Damn, those bitches actually used aphrodisiac incense as meditation incense!

July 20, sunny

Go to a massage parlor."

Richard quickly flipped through a few pages and found that they were all this guy's reviews of massage parlors.

"Fuck, even if it's a civil engineer, he can't go there so often."

Skipping the massage parlor part, Richard finally got to the point.

The owner of this notebook majored in the School of Evocation. The notebook records his ideas for modifying the spell model of the first-level spell Hands of Fire, as well as the experimental results after the modification.

"The power is increased by one level and the consumption is reduced by one tenth. Just based on this modification idea, my work tonight is not in vain." Richard was a little excited.

Energy level is the basic unit for the school of evocation to evaluate the power of spells. One energy level is equivalent to the power of a spell missile. However, since many wizards' spells cannot be evaluated by direct power, this unit is generally only used by the school of evocation.

Continue reading your notes.

"May 12, sunny
I only have one magic stone left. How many magic stones did those bitches in the massage parlor cheat me of?

May 13, cloudy weather

There are so many people in the mission hall. These new students are not paying attention in class. What mission are they doing?

May 15th, sunny

Finally, there was a decent mission. Go to the Blackrock Mountains to collect medicinal herbs and you would be given 20 magic stones, and the round-trip fare would be reimbursed. The wizards of the alchemy school were indeed very rich.

May 19, light rain
It's raining again. I've been in Blackrock Mountains for a day and haven't found anything. The reward is so high for a reason."

At this point in the diary, there was suddenly a blank space in the notes.

Richard flipped back a few pages and found several lines of scribbled words, the last of which was written in blood.

"What is that! What the hell did the mudslide release?!"

"Living iron net, how on earth did this thing appear in the Black Rock Mountains?"

"Guard Golem! I see, I broke into a wizard's laboratory! Those weird things are the wizard's protective measures!"

Wizard Laboratory!
Richard felt his heart skip a beat.

The profits of a wizard laboratory are enormous. The various specimens placed in the laboratory, the various experimental materials collected by the wizards, and even the experimental instruments are invaluable treasures for apprentices.

Richard continued to flip through the pages, and after a long blank period, a line of blood written with a finger appeared in front of him at the end of the notes.

"The wizard is dead!"
