The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 274 Return
After signing the contract, Gano immediately completed the procedures for granting Richard the fiefdom.

Deep in the lava sea, a large area was designated as Richard's fiefdom. This land was so large that even Richard himself felt a little guilty.

"Master, this is too big."

Gano, who was leaving marks on the magic book, looked up at Richard, then lowered his head and continued writing on the magic book.

"Advisor Richard, you have participated in too few wars and your knowledge is too shallow. For both my mentor and my master, the biggest role of these resource-free lands in the Chiyang World is as a testing ground.

And they have more than one such testing ground.

So for them, your fiefdom can be as big as you want as long as it does not get in their way and has no resources on it.

Land is the least valuable thing.”

Ganuo's voice was a little dull, but it was like a thunderclap in Richard's ears.

Land...is not valuable?

Richard resisted this statement from the bottom of his heart, but he had to admit that it was indeed true.

For wizards, land is not valuable; what is valuable is the qualification to obtain land.

No matter how worthless the land in the Chiyang world is, ordinary wizards cannot obtain these lands unless they have made contributions in the war.

Soon, Gano finished writing all the documents.

Richard took the deed handed to him by Garno, signed his name on it, and returned it to Garno.

"Very good, Counselor Richard, it's a pleasure to work with you."

Ganuo took the deed and a hint of relief flashed across his face.

"Excuse me, I have something to do. I won't invite you to have a drink, Advisor."

Richard nodded to show his understanding, and the two said goodbye.

In the floating city, the shops of the Military Chamber of Commerce are still open. Anyway, the shops in the floating city do not need rent. As long as the floating city does not leave, these shops will make more money every day they are open.

In the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce, the mechanical shop clerk was still smiling and welcoming the guests. But when he saw that it was Richard, he immediately informed Bob in the back room.

Soon, Bob came out from the inner room. His face looked very rosy, and it was obvious that he was lucky.

"Brother Richard, long time no see. You look so radiant, you must have made a fortune recently."

Richard came forward and hugged Bob, smiling and saying:

"Brother Bob, you are the one who made a fortune. I heard that your Chamber of Commerce has acquired a Red Sun Crystal Iron Mine. This thing is a good thing."

"Haha, it's just a small vein."

When Bob heard Richard mention the mineral vein, he tried hard to suppress the pride on his face, but he couldn't help but show it.

There was no way around it. Originally, the Chiyang Crystal Iron Mine belonged to all the old chambers of commerce. However, several of the old chambers of commerce ended up fighting with each other, and this small vein of ore instead benefited the Jiuxing Chamber of Commerce.

Because of this incident, Bob's status in the Chamber of Commerce was greatly improved.

Richard also heard that the life span of the president of the Chamber of Commerce is not long, and he may have to choose a successor from within the Chamber of Commerce.

Bob's great achievement at this time will definitely catch the president's attention.

After a few pleasantries, Richard got down to business.

"Bob, your Chamber of Commerce should have a business in alchemical machinery."

Bob was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Indeed, one of the main businesses of the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce is alchemical machinery.

Why, Richard, you want to talk business with me?"

When it comes to business, neither of them is talking about elder brother or younger brother. Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, not to mention that the two people do not represent individuals, but the chamber of commerce behind them.

“Look at these parts.”

Richard pulled a handful of alchemical parts from his pocket and handed them to Bob.

After Bob took it, he placed the parts one by one in front of the monocle on his left eye and looked at them carefully.

"This part... is not alchemy, or rather, it is not wizard alchemy." Bob put the part down, "These things are made using the dragon alchemy you mentioned before."

Richard snapped his fingers. “Yes, it’s Dragon Alchemy.”

Bob put the parts aside and shook his head slightly. "I don't quite understand this. I need to ask some old masters from the Chamber of Commerce to take a look. Do you have any samples? Take some more."

Richard took out a small box from his magic pocket after hearing this.

"These are all common parts for alchemical machinery. You can take them back and try them out."

Bob took the box and looked relaxed again.

"It seems that you have got some good stuff in this Red Sun World. I have learned a little about dragon alchemy. This technique is also a niche subject among alchemy wizards. It is amazing that you can make a business out of these things."

Richard just smiled when he heard this and did not continue the topic.

Don't tell anyone about your money-making ideas.

After chatting with Bob for a few more words, Richard took his leave.

Finally, Richard took a few master-made Salamander swords from Bob.

Now some wizards have set their sights on the tombs of the fire lizards, and a large number of swords and burials have been unearthed, many of which are products of masters.

The ones he has are like this. [Raw materials: Salamander Scimitar]

[Refinable Skills: Dragon Alchemy (Slightly Incomplete)]

[Refining consumption: 10 mental power]

[Information that can be extracted: Giant Dragon Alchemy Tree Pattern]

[Refining consumption: 5 mental power]

"Mild disability?"

Richard looked at the plain-looking scimitar in his hand. He didn't expect that he could pick up a treasure at this time.

The slight defect means that the fire lizard craftsman who forged this scimitar has put almost all the skills he has learned into this scimitar. If it is refined, Richard will be equivalent to possessing all the skills of this fire lizard craftsman.

"refining."

The Salamander Scimitar disappeared from Richard's hand for a moment, and then reappeared. On the Miracle Furnace, a ball of white light representing skill was constantly jumping.

Richard swallowed the white light that represented his skills, and countless illusions suddenly flashed across his eyes.

In an instant, Richard felt as if he had become a salamander. He had been exposed to alchemy since he was a child. As he grew up, his elders and teachers continued to teach him alchemy, and his alchemy skills also grew rapidly in the process.

Soon, there was nothing more his elders could teach him, and he began to explore alchemy on his own.

After countless years, he had grown from a young boy to an octogenarian. His exploration of dragon alchemy had reached a level of transcendence. However, an invisible barrier stood in his way, and his alchemy skills began to stagnate.

At the end of his life, he created this scimitar that condensed his life's skills, and left with regret.

"Wow, what a wonderful life." Richard woke up from the hallucination and commented with a little emotion.

Perhaps the life of this fire lizard seems extremely boring to others, with nothing but alchemy, but in the eyes of a wizard, this fire lizard is simply a wizard in fire lizard skin.

His pursuit of alchemy perfectly matches the pursuit of wizards.

"I touched the alchemy barrier. It seems that dragon alchemy is not a skill of the forerunners. In other words, it should be a skill created by the forerunners for the dragons."

Richard was sure that if it was the skills of the forerunners, this fire lizard would never be able to touch the boundaries in his lifetime. Because even if the wizards were not as good as the forerunners, the vastness of wizard alchemy was not a subject that a fire lizard could touch the boundaries of before becoming the master of the world.

Perhaps this is part of the reason why wizards gave up dragon alchemy.

When they arrived at the mine, Richard released several agricultural experts from the secret realm and assigned them to Heskan.

"These are agricultural experts. All the farmland in the mine is under their management." Richard said, pointing at several fire lizards around him.

Several agricultural experts looked at the familiar main continent and couldn't help crying.

After hearing this, Heskan nodded repeatedly and immediately arranged for several agricultural experts to visit the farm.

Looking at the crying agricultural experts, Heskan did not have a trace of empathy, but instead his face was full of ridicule.

"Why are you crying? You are a coward who doesn't have the guts to die with Marshal Harash. You left the rest of us on the main continent while you hid overseas. You are a coward!"

Heskhan has no good feelings towards the fire lizards who participated in the Fire Project.

He didn't have much knowledge and didn't understand what Richard said about preserving the fire, but he understood a little from Richard's words.

These cowardly wimps abandoned them and fled overseas to hide from the wizards.

Upon hearing this kind of thing, no matter how good their reasons were, any fire lizard left on the mainland would be filled with rage.

Why are you the spark and I am the abandoned pawn?

Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.

Richard didn't care about Heskan's attitude. After telling him to work hard, he returned to the floating city.

He was ready to return to the wizarding world.

Now that he has a fiefdom, he can enter and exit the Chiyang World freely.

But this is limited to himself. If he wants to use the portal to transport goods, he needs to pay a portion of the portal tax to the great wizard.

If he wants to bring other people in, he will have to pay additional visitor tax and research tax, and apply to at least one college.

After all, the Chiyang World is the private property of the great wizard and it is impossible for anyone to enter casually.

Moreover, he is still using a long-distance teleportation array to transport between the mine and the new world. Otherwise, every time Richard goes to the new world, he has to take Ulysses across the vast lava sea.

Even if Richard didn't mind the trouble, Ulises would protest.

In front of the portal, many wizards were queuing to leave the Red Sun World. They were all smiling and had gained a lot, but after them, more wizards were buried in this foreign land.

In this pioneering age, every wizard is a navigator.

Countless wizards risked their lives to explore new continents in the vast ocean of the astral plane, hoping to find "gold" and "spices" in the new continent.

Countless wizards became rich overnight, but ten times as many died in a foreign land.

Richard suddenly thought of a sentence from his previous life.

This is the best time and the worst time.

Soon, it was Richard's turn among the wizards in line. Looking at the huge portal in front of him, Richard took a step forward.

Then, his figure disappeared in the Chiyang World.
