The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 317 Second Ring Peak
Just as Richard was immersed in the wonderful feeling brought to him by the devouring rules, his body also underwent drastic changes under the influence of the blood.

When the soul of the evil demon Bruno had not yet disappeared, this mass of blood, under the guidance of the rules, continued to devour the energy of Richard's body like cancer, and then turned into proliferating flesh and blood to gradually replace Richard's original flesh and blood.

But as the soul of the evil demon Bruno was burned into nothingness by the Miracle Furnace, the rules he obtained from the Cancer of Flesh and Blood were also taken into Richard's pocket.

The situation was reversed instantly.

Richard's flesh and blood, which was blessed by the rules, began to frantically absorb the cancerous flesh and blood, while the cancerous flesh and blood, which lost the blessing of the rules, was simply unable to resist.

But in just a moment, the blood and the flesh that had grown on it were all swallowed up by Richard's flesh.

And this is just the beginning.

The entanglement of rules gave Richard a new ability - cocooning.

Richard now has the ability to cocoon like an insect. After being seriously injured, Richard can maintain his life by cocooning. In normal times, Richard can also choose to cocoon himself to achieve the purpose of "metamorphosis".

This kind of "metamorphosis" requires a primer similar to a medicinal primer. After the metamorphosis begins, Richard's body will begin to evolve.

This evolution is similar to the evolution of the adaptive body, but more intense than the evolution of the adaptive body.

And the ball of blood containing the evil demon Bruno was a "primer".

That pool of blood contained all the essence of the flesh and blood cancer that had seeped out of the seal over the years, and it contained a large amount of evolutionary substances.

The cancer of the flesh and blood does not just replicate its own body indiscriminately, it also has the ability to cause cells to mutate.

This is similar to evolution.

After swallowing the blood containing a large amount of evolutionary substances, Richard's body began to ooze out white filaments.

This made the witch hunting team nearby suddenly nervous.

"Damn it!" Kava shouted angrily. He turned to look at the equally bewildered dwarf and said through gritted teeth, "Listen, you bunch of purple-skinned dwarves. If anything happens to the adults, I will absolutely..."

boom!
An iron fist interrupted Kava's next threat.

Makar retracted his fist and bowed slightly to the high priest: "I'm sorry, my companion was a little too aggressive."

The high priest waved his hand to indicate that it was not a problem.

"I can understand your feelings, the current situation is indeed a bit strange.

If you believe me, I will communicate with the King of the Dwarves and let him see Master Richard's situation."

"Then I'll trouble you, Master."

The high priest held the golden staff in his hand and muttered something. The previous battle consumed a lot of faith power, and the King of the Magic Dwarves had already fallen asleep, but in order to see Richard's condition clearly, he had to wake the King of the Magic Dwarves up even if he fell asleep.

He had to do this whether out of Richard's kindness to the magic dwarves or the four angry fire lizards in front of him.

Soon, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in the high priest's eyes.

He widened his eyes and looked at Richard carefully. The several fire lizards standing next to Richard suddenly felt as if they had been looked at from inside to outside.

After a moment, the faint light disappeared, and the high priest slowly spoke:

"Everyone, there is nothing wrong with Master Richard. On the contrary, Master Richard is undergoing a transformation, and this transformation is extremely beneficial to Master Richard.

All you need to do is wait here."

Makar was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and replied:

"Thank you, Master."

The white silk on Richard's body grew longer and longer, and finally wrapped Richard's body tightly into an oval.

Then, these white threads began to expand outward, covering the ground like a blanket.

These white threads do not have any parasitic properties. Their only purpose of spreading is to absorb as much energy as possible from the air.

Lines of magic power were transmitted to Richard's body along these white threads.

The witch hunting team avoided these white silks, and the magic dwarves did not choose to leave.

They stood by, quietly waiting for the transformation to be over.

The white silk grew longer and longer, and finally covered an area as large as a football field. They continued to absorb the energy of the air, and even caused gusts of magical breeze in the canyon.

Everyone could feel that Richard's body was undergoing earth-shaking changes.

One day, two days, three days...time passed quickly like flowing water.

In the blink of an eye, it is the twentieth year of Richard's transformation.

Over the years, the witch hunting teams and the dwarves have not left the bottom of the mountains.

For them, the environment at the bottom of the mountains is somewhat harsh, but it is not impossible to survive. The magic dwarves are all strong-minded and determined. In order to confirm the situation of their benefactor, waiting in one place for twenty years is nothing.

The high priest sat cross-legged in the air in front of the white cocoon formed by Richard.

Suddenly, the high priest opened his eyes.

At the same time, Makar came to the high priest.

"Master Richard is about to wake up."

As soon as the high priest finished speaking, a white-skinned hand broke through the cocoon shell, and then the cocoon shell was torn apart. A black-robed wizard looked around in a daze.

"These are what I have..."

Richard looked around in a daze. In his memory, after he swallowed the rules, he looked at the illusion of rules for a long time.

Then the illusion of rules disappeared and he withdrew from the spiritual space.

As a result, as soon as he came out, he realized that his body was like a volcano and he could break through to the third-ring wizard at any time.

He took some effort to suppress the urge to break through, and then tore open the cocoon that was blocking his sight.

But the scene before him seemed to be somewhat different from his memory.

He flew out of the cocoon, and after seeing the white silk all over the ground and the cocoon behind him, he quickly deduced his own situation.

"I'm in a cocoon?" Richard frowned and turned to ask Makar, "How long have I slept?"

"Twenty years, three months and seven days."

"So long!" Richard said in surprise.

He originally thought that he had only slept for a few months, or even a few years. But he did not expect that his transformation would last for twenty years.

Twenty years passed in the blink of an eye, and Richard felt that the world had gone crazy. Richard was silent for a long time, and finally accepted this helpless fact.

Although twenty years was a long time, and even caused him to violate his soul contract with the academy, his gains were also more astonishing.

Apart from the rules and acquired abilities, his physical condition had reached one hundred and ninety-nine point nine during this transformation, which was the limit of a second-ring wizard.

This at least saved him thousands of years of hard work.

And he is now in a state where he may break through at any time.

His life core became very active during the transformation, and he could take a step further and become a three-ring wizard at any time.

A three-ring wizard who is over four hundred years old is unheard of in the history of the wizarding world.

But Richard did not choose to break through.

This was the conclusion Richard came to after careful consideration.

Breaking through later is not a big deal, but if he breaks through now, there will be a serious mismatch between his mental strength and physical fitness.

Although there is a feedback effect to provide a guarantee, his combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed, at least in the next few decades.

There are two situations in which mental power and physical fitness do not match. One is that the mental power is too strong and the body is too weak. Wizards in this state must live cautiously, because if they are not careful, they will trigger a force that the body cannot bear, which will cause physical damage or even annihilation.

Another situation is that the mental strength is too weak and the physical body is too strong.

This situation is even worse because it causes the wizard to lose fine control over his own body.

This means that when Richard walked, he might step on the ground and create a big hole, or when shaking hands with others, he might break their bones.

Even the return of magic power will be absorbed by the body because the energy absorbed by the body's cells exceeds the energy of the magic return created by the mental power.

The greater the gap between mental strength and physical fitness, the stronger this reaction will be.

Richard now has only 123 points of mental strength. If he rashly becomes a three-ring wizard, it is unknown how much power he can exert.

Maintaining the peak state of the second ring is definitely the best solution for Richard now.

"Twenty years is twenty years, it happened suddenly anyway."

With a sigh, Richard turned and looked at the high priest.

"I didn't expect the high priest would still be waiting here. I feel deeply ashamed."

The high priest waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's only twenty years.

As long as the master is fine, waiting for two hundred years is not a problem.

Judging from the master's current state, I think the evil demon has been completely eliminated by the master."

Richard's mind flashed with the image of the evil demon Bruno being burned into nothingness by the colorless fire of the Miracle Furnace, and he nodded slightly.

"The divination result was not wrong. This evil demon was indeed purified by my fire."

The high priest clasped his hands together and lowered his head slightly. Behind him, the shadow of a demon dwarf slowly emerged.

"Thank you, Master."

The voice of the high priest overlapped with the voice of the shadow of the magic dwarf, sounding sacred and solemn.

Richard responded with the same courtesy: "No need to do that, we both get what we need, it's a win-win situation."

Now that Richard has awakened from his cocoon, there is no need for everyone to stay in the mountains anymore.

Richard burned the remaining white silk to ashes, ensuring that there was no trace of the medium left that could be used.

The witch hunting team also took off their armor and entered Richard's synthetic beast pocket.

Then Richard followed the dwarf back to the ground.

After confirming the death of the evil demon Bruno, the dwarves also began to clear out the deformed monsters.

In the course of twenty years, they had eliminated almost all of the deformed monsters that had become rootless water.

Without the evil demon Bruno as the spokesperson outside the seal, the flesh and blood cancer in the seal must spend a lot of effort to transform a creature into a deformer.

His transformation speed is far slower than the killing speed of the magic dwarves.

I heard from the high priest that he plans to reopen those ancient fortresses bit by bit, and the magic dwarves will monitor the Cancer of Flesh and Blood until he dies in the seal.

Richard could only sigh at this situation.

This cancer of flesh and blood could destroy any other race, but it has to destroy this group of vengeful and stubborn dwarves.

After exiting the mine, Richard said goodbye to the high priest and prepared to return to the Black Tower Wizarding Academy to resolve the contract issue.

It doesn't matter if the contract is broken. With the relationship between his teacher and Alex, he can just renew it.

The war still has twenty years to go. If he behaves better in these twenty years, he will still be able to get the reward after the war.

However, the high priest stopped Richard and brought several magic dwarf warriors and several female magic dwarves to Richard.

"Master, I would like you to take them out of this world."

Richard frowned and said to the high priest seriously: "High priest, you are the property of the wizard of truth. It is impossible for me to encroach on the property of the great wizard of truth."

But the high priest shook his head.

"Master, we are not the property of the Great Wizard of Truth. We are the property of the entire wizarding world."

As he spoke, the high priest took out a scroll from his bosom. The corners of the scroll were branded with the seal of the Tower of Truth, and there were five of them.

This means that this scroll was jointly signed by the five Towers of Truth.

The content of the scroll is also very simple. It mainly describes a plan, a plan called the Ecological Restoration of the Wizarding World.

In this plan, the magic dwarves and several intelligent races living in the wizarding world were designated as vassal races of the wizards.

The vassal races have the right to exist in the wizarding world and are protected by the laws of the Parliament of Truth.

These subject races have the same powers as wizards, except that they must pay several taxes, including the blood tax, on a regular basis, and are not allowed to colonize other worlds.

The high priest said humbly: "Master, I hope you can bring them to the wizard world to see our homeland.

After that, it is up to you whether you wish them to populate the wizarding world or follow you as vassals.”
