The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 296 The First Day of War

The Black Tower Wizard Academy is located in a hilly area with endless waves of hills.

But seemingly because of the season, there were only withered yellow grass leaves and dry bushes on the hills, and few green plants.

Most of the trees in the woods among the hills are also golden.

Looking at this terrain, Richard immediately decided to release a dragon beast.

At this moment, flying in the sky is like being a sitting duck.

Most wizards never walk on the ground, and this kind of terrain is also very suitable for exploration from the air. It is easy to collide with wizards from the Meteorite Academy when flying in the sky.

Opening the synthetic beast pocket, Richard immediately released the majestic and powerful dragon beast.

The dragon beast looks like a horse, but it has a ferocious and majestic dragon head. It is very strong, with a shoulder height of two meters. Its muscles are extremely developed, especially its strong back and four pillar-like legs.

Its skin is covered with a layer of black scales, which do not reflect light under the sunlight and reveal a deep darkness.

After being released, the dragon beast did not show any joy of being free. On the contrary, its golden dragon eyes looked at Richard the second it opened.

Making a dragon beast requires the blood of a fire lizard. Normally, the dragon beast belongs to whoever's blood is used to make it.

But Richard is clearly not a salamander.

So Qiaoluode thoughtfully transformed the dragon beast.

A control tumor was implanted in the dragon beast's brain by Joe Lord. This tumor could interfere with the dragon beast's judgment and make it mistake Richard for its master.

Moreover, Joe Lord also installed a nerve connection hole on the dragon beast's back.

If Richard is willing to transform himself, or add a biological magic suit to his tail vertebrae, he doesn't even need to cultivate emotions, he can achieve man-horse unity directly through neural connection.

The dragon beast looked at Richard in front of it and called out tentatively.

"Roar?"

Richard walked up, touched its head, and then took out a large piece of fire monster jerky from his pocket.

When the dragon beast saw the dried meat, its eyes suddenly lit up and its cry became much more cheerful.

Richard fed it the jerky, which was the size of an adult's arm. The dragon beast finished it all in just a few bites.

Richard touched the dragon beast's head, and the dragon beast did not resist.

This means that Dragon Beast has acknowledged him.

Richard took out another piece of meat of the same size as before and fed it to the dragon beast, then jumped onto the dragon beast's back with a small jump.

Joe Lord thoughtfully prepared a saddle and reins for Richard, but Richard didn't need these things.

He slapped the dragon beast's neck and uttered a syllable that might sound harsh to ordinary people.

"Hey!"

After hearing this syllable, the dragon beast that was chewing the dried meat suddenly raised its head. Its muscles began to move, as smoothly as flowing water.

The legs, as thick as pillars, began to bend, and four hooves as big as bowls left deep footprints on the ground.

"Roar!"

The dragon beast responded, then rushed forward like a landslide.

Richard sat on the dragon's back and nodded with satisfaction.

The syllable he just uttered came from the dragon language. Richard didn't know this syllable at first, but some of the fire lizards under his command had fought against the Dragon Beast Knights.

From them, Richard learned that the Dragon Knights had their own exclusive language to control the dragons.

Richard asked them to imitate the languages, and then found a dragon dictionary in the wizarding world.

Just as Richard expected, the language used by the Dragon Knights all came from the ancient dragon language.

Through the battle between the dictionary and the fire lizard, Richard quickly developed a set of dragon beast control language. But unfortunately, the dragon beast had not been optimized yet, and Richard had not experimented with it.

Now it seems that his language should be useful.

Richard took out another spell scroll from his pocket and tore it open.

The spell recorded on this scroll is called the [Existence Fade] curse spell, which can reduce the user's sense of presence.

It can even allow the user to blend into a group of ten people, and no matter how others count, only ten people will be found.

Compared to optical invisibility, the advantage of this spell is that it can even deceive mental detection.

However, although this spell sounds suitable for hiding, it is actually a cruel combat spell in the School of Curse.

Because this spell can make the recipient's existence disappear completely, in the end, the recipient will be in a strange state.

He is still alive, but cannot interact with anything in the world.

He could not attract energy, could not eat, everything was dark in front of his eyes, there was silence in his ears, and he could not feel anything when he reached out his hand.

When the mental power spread out, all that was obtained was nothingness.

This is a loneliness that is comparable to the darkness of the soul.

Once in this state, the wizard has only two options: one is suicide, and the other is to live until the caster dies.

The spell's effects disappear upon the caster's death.

However, the one in Richard's hand is a lightweight [Existence Fading]. The power stored in this scroll can make a wizard apprentice disappear completely, but for Richard, a second-ring wizard, it can only allow him to avoid the wizard's careless mental detection at best.

……

On the other side of the battlefield, opposite the Black Tower Wizarding Academy.

The Falling Star Wizard Academy is carrying out their plan.

In the center of the Meteoric Wizard Academy, a tall red tower is emitting a fiery aura.

This is the core wizard tower of the Meteoric Wizard Academy.

On the 150th floor of the tower, all the three-ring wizards of the Meteoric Wizard Academy gathered together. In front of them, on a flat map projected from a crystal ball, countless light spots were spreading around the academy. "What is this?" asked a Shaper wizard who had completely transformed into an elemental body.

At the edge of the map, a gentle-looking wizard wearing a monocle responded to him.

"This is a map. The light spots on it are the patrols we sent out. We don't know where the Black Tower Wizard Academy is, so we'll have to rely on this method to find them for now."

He is Crispin Stevens, one of the vice-presidents of the Meteorite Wizarding Academy and a student of the Great Wizard of Meteorite.

"Then what are we doing here?" asked a wizard with lightning in his eyes, "Just sitting here?"

Crispin adjusted his glasses and said calmly:
"We need to determine our attitude and what our ultimate goal is. This war between us and the Black Tower Wizard Academy was a complete accident.

The wizards at the Black Tower Wizarding Academy only need to defend, but we have a lot more to consider.

How far are we going to fight this war?
Should we occupy their commercial area, residential area, or experimental area, or just leave them a core wizard tower?"

"What did the dean say?" asked an old wizard.

Crispin spread his hands and said helplessly:

"The dean asked us to destroy the core wizard tower of the Black Tower Wizard Academy, but this was obviously just an angry remark. Destroying the core wizard tower will not do the dean any good, it will only give him one more enemy.

I tried to contact him before the war but couldn’t.”

"Just keep the core wizard tower." The old wizard spoke again.

He is Zeke Huerta, the vice-president of the Meteorite Wizard Academy and the right-hand man of the Great Wizard of Meteorite.

"The dean wants to save face after all. If he has only one core wizard tower left, it will save his face, and we, the little pawns, won't be too sad."

After saying that, Zeke looked at all the wizards present.

"What do you think?"

The fire wizard who asked the question just now was the first to answer: "Yes."

The remaining wizards nodded after thinking for a while.

"I do not mind."

"That's all. Call me when the fight starts."

"I agree."

Seeing that all the wizards agreed, Crispin clapped his hands and said:

"In that case, our tentative goal is to occupy all areas of the Black Tower Wizard Academy except the core wizard tower."

Then he joked:
"I hope the order they received is to defend the core wizard tower, so that both of us can save trouble."

……

Richard stood in the woods, looking at the wizard flying over his head, a sneer on his lips.

Richard didn't even feel any mental power when these wizards passed over his head.

It's obvious that these are student soldiers who have never been to the battlefield.

Any wizard who has been on the battlefield will keep his mental power highly diffused when scouting, and will focus a considerable amount of his energy on the ground.

The bloody lesson taught the wizard that if you don't scout the ground, you'd better have enough means to save your life.

The natives will not let you off just because you are a newbie.

Richard took out a staff from his pocket, but it was not the mithril staff he took out, but his own adamantium staff.

Richard took out the Nomi Static Crystal from his pocket and replaced the head of the adamantine staff. After the replacement, the increase in the power of spells by the adamantine staff dropped sharply.

But at this moment, pursuing power is useless.

A fireball of 500 energy level and a fireball of 1,000 energy level can both kill the group of wizards above. Using the Nomi crystal staff, the spell fluctuations will be smaller.

After changing the head of the staff, Richard moved forward at a low speed in the direction where the wizard was flying.

The Meteorite Wizarding Academy doesn't know where the Black Tower Wizarding Academy is, and the Black Tower Wizarding Academy naturally doesn't know where the Meteorite Wizarding Academy is.

Richard originally planned to conduct some reconnaissance, but now there is no need for that.

Just as Richard was heading towards the Meteorite Wizard Academy, several other second-ring wizards saw these wizards scouting in the sky.

……

"You don't even scout the ground?"

Anka looked at the wizard flying overhead and couldn't help shaking his head.

As an old wizard who had experienced many battles, he felt a rare trace of pity in his heart when he saw these novice wizards being so reckless.

He was so unskilled, so unskilled that he felt like he was bullying a kid.

"Forget it, let's not kill these rookies for now. The attack hasn't even started yet, and it would be bad if we provoke a strong man."

After saying that, Anka's figure suddenly disappeared, leaving behind only a series of faint footprints that continued to spread.

……

In various places on the battlefield, elite wizards sent by the Black Tower Wizarding Academy looked at the wizards passing overhead, either sneering, sighing, or showing disdain.

But there are also those who are unlucky and walked in the opposite direction of the Meteorite Wizard Academy and have not encountered a wizard yet.

But they all had one thing in common, which was that they did not choose to fight.

All the wizards tacitly chose to hide and followed the trail of this group of rookie wizards to sneak into the Meteorite Wizard Academy.

Their mission is to harass behind enemy lines and deplete the power of the Meteorite Wizard Academy. At this point, the war has not yet begun.

Any wizard who showed up was courting death.

Thus, the first day of the war passed peacefully.
