The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 271 I am just an indigenous employee of the Richard Jorode Chamber of Commerce

The repair of the ship was not difficult for Richard.

He didn't even have to do it himself, he just got two fire lizard alchemy masters from the secret realm to repair it.

"My lord, it has been repaired."

Kalion and another female Salamander Alchemist named Sulina spoke respectfully to Richard.

Sulina is Richard's newest fire lizard alchemy master in the past twenty years. She also participated in the production of long-distance sailing ships.

"Okay, thank you both for your hard work."

Richard nodded and opened the secret realm rift to allow the two to return to the secret realm. On the side, the captain and the first mate were stunned.

They were not shocked by the rebellion of Carrion and Surina. After all, since he did it himself, there was no reason why other Salamanders would not do the same.

"What is this thing? How can it... hold living things?"

Richard glanced at him and said, "This is a fragment of the secret realm. I mentioned it in the contract. If nothing goes wrong, many of you will also enter it."

"A fragment of a secret realm?"

The captain's mind flashed through the clauses in the contract, which did mention this thing, but at the time he was attracted by other clauses and did not pay attention to it.

"Let's sail," Richard ordered.

The captain nodded slightly when he heard this, and then called on the other crew members to start the boat.

The power of this long-distance sailing vessel comes from four alchemical engines installed at the rear of the cabin. These alchemical engines are not purely the creation of Salamanders. Their structure refers to many wizards' alchemical weapons.

The "fuel" of the alchemical engine is the fire element gem, which coincides with the power of many alchemical machinery of wizards. However, the technology of the Salamander is relatively primitive, the use of elements is relatively crude, and the demand for fuel is also relatively high.

However, any technology starts from the primitive. Based on these prototypes, Salamanders may be able to develop new branches of alchemy.

Driven by the engine, the shuttle-like boat began to sail on the sea.

To be more precise, it is flying close to the sea surface.

Behind the ship, several jets spewed out blue flames that were four or five meters long. Under the power of this force, the ship had little contact with the lava sea and was moving at an extremely high speed.

Richard looked left and right on the boat, and he had to say that Salamander's fusion of wizard alchemy and dragon alchemy was indeed a very creative idea.

And because wizard alchemy was developed from dragon alchemy, the two do have similarities in some ways.

This reminded Richard of the bottle of alchemical ink made by Talhe.

"Why didn't I think of it before? Wizard alchemy was originally developed from dragon alchemy, so there must be some commonalities between the two. Talhe must have used the techniques of dragon alchemy to activate the alchemy array of wizard alchemy, which should be the reason why the alchemical ink mutated."

After figuring this out, Richard took out a metal plate from his pocket, drew a very simple alchemy array on it, and then activated it using the Dragon Alchemy method.

One second, two seconds...

Soon, ten minutes passed and the alchemy array did not move at all.

During this period, Richard tried almost all the dragon alchemy methods he knew, but the alchemy array could not be activated.

Richard put away the metal plate and thought for a while:
"…Maybe the problem lies in the bloodline."

There is a certain connection between the body and the soul, and this connection creates a feedback effect.

But this connection does more than just that.

While studying the compression of spiritual information, Richard learned a lot about spiritualism. In the research of the spiritual school, the connection between the soul and the body is much closer than imagined.

According to their joint research with the School of Shaping, the energy environment of most worlds in the astral plane is basically the same, that is to say, there is no difference in the energy of most worlds.

Both wizards and indigenous people can utilize these energies without any obstacles.

But after absorbing these energies, organisms convert them into different energies with different properties.

A wizard's magic power is different from the energy in a salamander's body.

After this research was completed, it was widely publicized to dispel wizards' fear of expeditions to other worlds. After all, it would be too scary to expedition to a world where wizards were completely unable to utilize the local energy.

According to this research, the spiritual school came to a conclusion after studying various indigenous peoples.

The body, or blood, will affect the soul, and the soul will further affect the nature of the energy in the organism.

This conclusion also explains why many wizards experience a drastic change in temperament after integrating the blood of other creatures.

With this thought in mind, Richard continued to walk around the cabin.

The collision between different cultures can create products that bring him a lot of inspiration.

……

A month later.

At the port of the New World, many long-distance ships returned to the New World, except for Ship No. 13.

In the port office, Azuhan looked at the captains in front of him with a grim expression.

"You said that No. 13 was blown off course by the fire elemental storm and may not be able to return."

Although Azuhan's voice was calm, all the captains could hear the anger hidden in that voice, like a volcano about to erupt.

The materials for long-distance ships are not available in the current [New World], and most of the craftsmen who made them have died in the [Old World].

Right now, every time a long-distance sailing ship is destroyed, it will be gone. They are the most precious wealth of the entire [New World].

"My Lord, it is true. I saw with my own eyes that they were sailing outside the route to avoid the eye of the fire elemental storm."

Azuhan's fierce eyes swept across the faces of several captains, and finally said:

"Okay, I understand. Go back and don't forget to maintain the boat."

Several captains nodded in agreement as if they had been granted amnesty, and fled from the office.

After they left, Azuhan's expression finally broke down. He was furious, and his neck was puffed up thicker than his head.

He has never been a good-tempered fire lizard, but in the past, he had Harash watching over him, so he had little use for this temper.

But now that he is on his own and has to shoulder the responsibility of inheriting the entire Salamander family, the overwhelming pressure almost makes him breathless.

"It actually destroyed one!"

Azuhan was so angry that he wanted to clear away everything on the table, but he stopped halfway.

Supplies in the [New World] are extremely scarce, and many things will never be found again once they are destroyed.

He looked at the cup and documents on the table. If these things were there in the past, it wouldn't cost much to destroy them for fun.

But now, he actually treated these things with great caution.

Azuhan slumped down in the chair somewhat powerlessly, with Harash, Maihan, and those fire lizards whom he regarded as elders constantly appearing before his eyes.

In the past, the Shield of Morik had never worried about resources, and his resource allocation priority even exceeded that of the Salamander Army.

At that time, he had not yet realized how difficult it was to allocate resources.

Now that I think about it, it is hard to imagine how his elders were able to provide him with so many resources when his army was losing ground.

"Father, I miss you." Azuhan whispered weakly.

Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
There was a rapid knock on the door.

"Enter."

A salamander pushed the door open with a look of ecstasy on his face.

"My lord! Number Thirteen is back!"

Azuhan was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed.

Number 13 is back!

He rushed out of the office like the wind and immediately arrived at the dock.

In the distant lava sea, a sailing ship was rapidly approaching the dock.

"It'll be good if you come back, it'll be good if you come back."

Azuhan looked at the sailing ship gradually approaching the dock, his heart ached and tears almost came out of the corners of his eyes.

There were only a few long-distance sailing ships, and each one was as dear to him as his heart. Now that No. 13 was back, it was like his lost child coming home.

But soon, Azuhan noticed something was wrong.

According to the descriptions of several captains, the long-distance ship should not be able to return. These captains are veteran captains who have been sailing since the exploration period and have a deep understanding of the ship. Logically, such a mistake would not have occurred, and it was a mistake made by a group of people.

Secondly, there was no sign of damage on the long-distance ship in front of him. Its structure was intact, and even the external deck was not damaged.

This doesn't look like a long-distance ship that has experienced a fire elemental storm.

But Azuhan didn’t think too much about it. After all, this was deep in the lava sea, so what could go wrong?

There wouldn't be a giant fire beast lurking in the long-distance ship and launching a surprise attack on him.

Soon, the No. 13 sailing ship entered the dock, and after it stopped, the cabin door was opened.

Azuhan looked at the open cabin with a smile, and he had even thought about the following praise and commendation in his mind.

In the terrible fire elemental storm, a great captain tried his best to escape from the fire elemental storm in order to protect the last property of the fire lizards, and even drove it back intact.

What a feat!
In the past, if such a feat did not need to be kept secret, it would have been rehearsed in the theater the next morning and performed in the evening.

The Captain will appear as the finale at the Shield of Morik's commendation ceremony.

Then... a black-robed wizard walked out.

Richard looked at the island in front of him with a smile, and said to Azuhan on the dock with a smile:

"This is your new world. It looks great."

……

The appearance of the wizard was like a bomb that detonated the fire lizards on the shore. The fighters drew the scimitars at their waists, and the logistics personnel quickly retreated.

Only Azuhan looked at Richard calmly.

Because he knew one thing the first time he saw Richard - the Salamander was finished.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here to discuss cooperation with you."

Looking at the salamanders at the dock, Richard smiled and walked off the boat, with the captain and first mate following closely behind him.

"Cooperation, wizards and fire lizards talking about cooperation?" Azuhan stared coldly at the wizard in front of him, and the energy in his body began to gather towards his heart.

He has no intention of discussing any cooperation. He is just trying to delay time by exploding himself.

A free man can never be a slave.

"Don't get excited, take a look at this first. All your old subordinates have signed, and the conditions I offer you are quite good."

Richard spoke in a brisk tone, even though his energy vision had told him that the salamander in front of him was planning to self-destruct, he was not afraid as he had Ulysses to protect him.

Richard handed the soul contract to the captain behind him, who passed the contract to Azuhan.

Azuhan looked coldly at the captain who was handing over the contract, and said in a cold voice:
"How does it feel to be a slave, Makar? Is life more important to you than honor and freedom?"

Makar lowered his head and calmly handed the contract to Azuhan.

"Lord Azuhan, I am not a slave. I am just an indigenous employee of the Richard Jorode Chamber of Commerce."
