The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 282 Bob's Invitation

Time flies, and thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On the test bench, a golden flame burned quietly in the magic circle.

"The energy structure of this flame is really ingenious. If we apply this structure to magic, it can at least increase the energy level by 100 to 200."

Ellie looked at the successfully simulated golden flame, her pretty face filled with joy.

The two's research on the fire element artifacts went quite smoothly. In just thirty years, all the artifacts that Richard brought back were studied.

The secrets they contain have enabled Richard and Ellie to make great progress in their knowledge of evocation.

With the help of this knowledge, Richard's fireball skill successfully reached the power level of 700. Counting the increase of the staff, Richard's fireball skill has now reached the power level of 860.

In addition, Richard has modified several energy spells over the years. These spells are not particularly powerful, and are mainly based on the research results of strange objects and used to deal with some special situations.

Richard came to Ellie, looked at the flame on the test bench, and said casually:
"This is the last of the rare items. I'm sorry for troubling you over the years."

During the research process, Ellie was the main force.

After all, Master Susanna was a student of the Great Wizard of the Black Tower, and her depth and breadth of knowledge were breathtaking. Even though Ellie had become a wizard, Ellie could only repeat many of Susanna's research results verbatim.

She must work hard to improve her knowledge in order to fully understand the mystery.

This also makes Ellie's knowledge of transmutation far beyond that of ordinary wizards.

Of course, if Richard was gifted in synthesizing beasts and could inherit Joe Lord's mantle, his situation would not be much better than Ellie's.

But unfortunately, Richard, like Anna, did not follow Jorod's path, so he could only grope his way forward on his own.

Ellie closed the magic circle and the golden flame dissipated.

"Time flies. Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye." Ellie sighed, "I feel like I have made more progress in these thirty years than I would have if I had studied alone for three hundred years."

Richard smiled and said, "These few strange objects I brought have all been studied in the past thirty years. If there is still no progress, then there is no place to complain."

Ellie made a face and put away the notes on the test bench.

"I'm done with my research, so it's time for me to leave."

"Why, you're going to run away after studying the strange object?"

Ellie rolled her eyes at Richard, then leaned into his arms and said in a charming tone:
"Then I'll stay for a while, don't run away."

Richard's face froze, and he said awkwardly:
"Forget it. Being together all the time is not good for the development of a relationship. There's a saying in my hometown that goes, 'A short absence is better than a new marriage.' Let's give each other enough personal space."

Ellie glared at Richard and said coquettishly:
"coward."

After saying that, Ellie opened the window and flew out.

Richard stood there, complaining quietly in a voice that only he could hear:

"I'm a coward? If other wizards were tormented like this by you, they would have run away screaming."

Over the years, Richard finally knew what bloodline Ellie had fused with.

The bloodline that Ellie fused with was a strange creature that the Great Wizard of the Black Tower obtained from an alien being during an astral walk.

The great wizard of the Black Tower called this creature a fire dragon demon.

This creature is a hybrid of a dragon and some alien creature, but this time the dragon's bloodline failed to gain the upper hand. Instead, it merged with the bloodline of the alien creature and mutated.

The advantages of dragon blood are retained, while its biggest disadvantage - corrosiveness - completely disappears.

The Great Wizard of the Black Tower handed the biological specimen to Susanna.

After studying this creature, Susanna found that the abilities brought by its blood were quite good, so she integrated it into her body.

After the fusion, Susanna did not feel any dangerous side effects, so she took it as her own wizard heritage, and after taking Ellie as her apprentice, she passed this bloodline to Ellie after she became a wizard.

When in the Insect Nest world, Ellie had just fused the bloodline, but had not yet completely fused the bloodline, so the abilities brought by the bloodline were not yet obvious.

During the years when Richard was fighting in the Red Sun World, Ellie finally completely integrated her bloodline, and her physique, strength, agility, and even her ability to control energy were greatly improved.

If Richard hadn't become a second-ring wizard, he really wouldn't be able to suppress her.

And what puzzled Richard the most was that Ellie seemed to have some ability to adapt.

Because as time went on, Ellie was able to fight him back and forth, and recently there were even signs of suppressing him.

For this purpose, Richard specifically asked Ellie for some Fire Dragon Demon blood, planning to study it when he had time in the future.

If the fusion of a bloodline could give him the same abilities as the Adaptive Body, then why was he still studying the Adaptive Body?

After Ellie left, Richard cleaned up the laboratory. There have been two people working in the laboratory over the years, so some of the layout had inevitably changed.

Now it's time to get back to the way things were.

But just as Richard was cleaning up, a wave of magical power caught his attention -

His communications crystal ball lit up.

"Who can find me at this time? Could it be Iyad?"

He had asked Ayad to inform him when someone came to claim Damir's inheritance. Now thirty years have passed, and there is still no news from Ayad.

Richard went to the next room and looked at the message in the crystal ball, but the owner of the message surprised Richard.

"Bob, why did he send the message?"

Although Richard gave some parts samples to Bob, hoping to do the alchemical parts business, Bob did not reply to him for a long time, so he put the matter behind him.

It’s nothing, his order for spell support vehicles is full.

During these thirty years, Richard successfully completed the structural optimization of the spell support vehicle, replacing all parts that were not involved in enchantment with products of dragon alchemy.

The current spell support vehicle has been upgraded to Richard II.

This model of support vehicle is superior to the previous model in terms of stability and performance, while the price remains unchanged.

A support vehicle costs 850 magic spirits, no cheating... Even with Richard's optimization, the material cost of the spell support vehicle has been reduced by nearly 100 magic spirits.

Richard's behavior naturally caused some dissatisfaction to Joe Lord.

[As the performance improves, your price should also increase. Otherwise, how can we be worthy of the first batch of legions that purchased the magic support vehicle? ]

[If you don't raise the price, how can we charge for the upgrade of the first batch of magic support vehicles?] [We are the Chamber of Commerce. Your mentality is wrong. The great wizard doesn't lack this little money.]

Note: The above remarks were made by Joe Lord after he knew that Richard had optimized the material cost by nearly one hundred magic spirits.

After the order was opened, orders from the White Wizard Legion came in like snowflakes.

The effectiveness of the spell support vehicle has spread among the White Wizard Legion. The ability to fire spells at any time makes wizards feel at ease.

So they strongly recommend the upper echelons of the legion to buy it.

For the White Wizard Legion that relies on the great wizard, spending hundreds of thousands of magic essences on purchasing weapons is just a small amount of money.

If the weapon is effective enough, the great wizard will not only not blame them, but will also appreciate their hard work.

So they are also willing to purchase a batch of spell support vehicles to test the waters.

As a result, due to their enthusiasm, the Richard Jorold Chamber of Commerce's orders for spell support vehicles were even scheduled for a thousand years later.

The black magic spirits kept pouring towards Richard.

In order to meet these orders, Joe Lord has brought Anna, Chax, and several of his students to work in the Chamber of Commerce, and Richard's Salamander Alchemy Workshop is also operating at full capacity.

He has neither the energy nor the interest to do Bob's business now.

However, Bob's message did not explain what the situation was. He just said that the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce would hold an auction recently and hoped that Richard could come and discuss some things.

So Richard didn't mind making the trip.

After thirty years of research, it's nice to get out and relax occasionally.

Besides, the auction is also a good place. Richard is now well-funded, and if he sees something he likes, he doesn't mind buying it.

Maybe you can find a bargain.

Picking up bargains is one of his hobbies.

Moreover, although the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce where Bob works is a new chamber of commerce, it is already very powerful compared to Richard's chamber of commerce.

The ink that Talhe accidentally made that year had been cracked by Salamander craftsmen seventeen years ago with the help of Richard.

Although the solution is not clear, it can at least produce ink stably.

Now that Richard Jorode's Chamber of Commerce's shop has not been opened, Richard has a lot of alchemical ink on hand.

Richard also wanted to take this opportunity to clear out his inventory.

Putting the crystal ball into his pocket, Richard returned to the laboratory and began to clean up the unfinished parts.

There is still some time before the auction, so the most important thing now is to clean up the laboratory.

……

The Nine Star Chamber of Commerce is not in the Tower of Truth, so Richard has to leave the Tower of Truth and come to the real wizarding world.

Checking the map, Richard discovered that the headquarters of the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce was located at the intersection of two bustling sky routes - a city called Paradise City.

"That's great. I don't even have to fly there myself."

Richard looked at the map and found a high-speed airship flying to Paradise City at an airship field outside the Tower of Truth.

To Richard's surprise, the pilot of the airship was actually a wizard. Even the waiters on the airship were senior wizard apprentices.

"Master, this is your first time riding an express airship." The pilot saw Richard's surprised expression and said with a smile.

"Indeed." Richard nodded. "I didn't expect the pilot of the airship to be a wizard."

The driver smiled and said, "I can't compare to a strong man like the master who can fight in the plane battlefield. A small person like me who has no courage and no ability can only do this kind of work to earn some magic stones."

Richard asked curiously, "How much can you earn on this trip?"

"There can be one demon spirit in one round trip."

“How many times can you make the trip in a year?”

"Five trips a year, guaranteed harvest regardless of drought or flood."

Richard nodded and handed a bag of magic stones to the driver.

"Good job, stable. Here are 100 magic stones, see if you think it's missing."

The driver caught the bag and threw it into the magic pocket without even scanning it with his mental power.

"Master, you look like an important person. How can you be short of such a small amount of magic stone?"

Richard looked at his own outfit in some surprise:

"Do I look wealthy? Or do I look menacing?"

“Master, you usually live in the Tower of Truth, and you are surrounded by wizards who are capable and dare to fight for their future in the plane battlefield.

So I can’t see how special I am.

But the evil spirit in you is too conspicuous if you show it outside."

Richard frowned. It was not a good thing for a dark wizard to have a special temperament.

They usually sneak behind enemy lines and try their best not to have any conspicuous presence.

He communicated with Ulises on his shoulder through mental messages:

“Ulises, is there anything special about me?”

"Gah, that's what happens when you kill too many people. In our place, you can just find a priest to baptize you. You probably need to find those soul wizards here."

The driver handed over the room number and room key. Even by express airship, it would take a month to reach Paradise City.

He will definitely have to stay on the airship during this time.

Richard took it and looked at the room number.

"Room 225, interesting."
