The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 32: Meeting Kevin Again (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

three days later.

"Magic Pet Training Manual, this should be what Chucks is talking about."

In the library, Richard took the "Magic Pet Training Manual" from the bookshelf. This book recorded some basic knowledge about how wizards train magical pets. The borrowing price of the academy was three magic stones for five days.

According to what Chucks said when he gave him the Death Crow, his Death Crow was no different from an ordinary magical pet except that it could not grow naturally.

Richard gave the college coin to the elf that appeared out of nowhere, and touched the book number with the crystal ball, and the book was borrowed.

Holding the book, Richard returned to the dormitory.

On his balcony, a blue-eyed crow with an iron chain tied to its foot and slightly larger than an ordinary crow was staring motionlessly into the distance.

This is the Death Crow made by Chucks.

According to Chucks, this death-calling crow has a physique of 15 and can fly freely at an altitude of 6,000 meters. Its feathers are very tough and can carry a weight of 200 kilograms without breaking. With these feathers, this death-calling crow can even ignore magic missiles.

Its claws and beak have also been modified by Chucks, and its sharp claws can easily penetrate steel plates.

Putting the book down, Richard took out the prepared iron pellets from the drawer.

Chucks modified the crow's digestive system to become omnivorous, allowing it to digest specific metals to maintain the toughness of its feathers and the sharpness of its claws and beak.

In addition, this death crow needs to eat ten kilograms of fresh blood and flesh every day to maintain its daily consumption.

"Eat, eat, eat more."

Richard opened his hand and let the crow eat the iron pellets in his hand.

Now he needs to build a relationship with the Death Crow little by little, so as to reduce the obstacles when planting soul seeds.

Soul seeds are the core of the magic pet technology and the basis for the magic pet to obey the wizard's orders. Through soul seeds, wizards can command magic pets to perform complex activities through their minds and share senses.

Among wizards, there are wizards who build their own combat systems by controlling a large number of magical pets.

However, a wizard apprentice can only divide out two soul seeds at most, and the soul seed cannot be recovered if the magic pet dies unexpectedly. Therefore, in the apprentice stage, the magic pet usually takes the auxiliary route like Richard.

After feeding the crows, Richard found a sprinkler and started watering the plants.

Richard collected a lot of potion seeds and plants in the Blackrock Mountains. After he returned to the academy, he found a bunch of flower pots and planted them on the balcony.

After watering the plants, Richard returned to his desk. There were many books on the desk. Except for the "Magic Pet Breeding Manual" he had just borrowed, the rest were alchemy books given to him by Joe Lord.

Richard glanced through some of these books. These books recorded some basic knowledge including magic armor, magic potions, synthetic beasts and even magic circles, and the records were very detailed.

If you borrow these books from the library, you have to spend a lot of magic stones to find some of them.

And now, Richard got it without spending a penny.

This is the benefit of becoming a formal apprentice. Some knowledge cannot be obtained by magic stones alone.

Richard's day passed quickly with classes, feeding, watering flowers and reading.

At night, Richard walked out of the room and called Ellie from next door to go downstairs together and came to a newly opened restaurant not far from the tower.

Ever since he decided to train Ellie as a teammate in Blackrock Mountains, Richard began to pay attention to cultivating Ellie's relationships.

They eat meals together every day, go to classes together, go to the library together, and take on two missions regularly to develop a tacit understanding between the two in combat.

This is how relationships deepen step by step.

The decoration of the restaurant was not complicated, and could even be called simple. There were a few simple landscape paintings and tapestries hanging on the walls, and twelve magic stone lamps hung from the ceiling, illuminating the twelve tables.

But the simple decoration does not mean the restaurant is simple. The owner of the restaurant hired a group of mortal waiters from somewhere. These waiters are tall, handsome, and have proper etiquette in every move.

The waiter handed Richard the menu and laid the silverware on the table.

"Charcoal-grilled magic-patterned pork ribs. Long-term consumption can enhance physical fitness." Richard looked at the words on the menu and said with a smile, "The owner of the restaurant is very capable. The ingredients used in the dishes are all magic beasts."

“Isn’t this a bit too expensive?”

Ellie looked at the menu nervously. The dishes on this menu were all very expensive. Just ordering two dishes would cost three or four magic stones.

If converted into Plantagenet gold coins, this meal would cost the kingdom a year's tax revenue.

"Let's try something new, I don't eat it often." Richard checked a few dishes that interested him on the menu and handed the menu to the waiter.

He was very interested in the physical enhancement effect.

The waiter left silently, and Richard sat in his seat, looking around with some boredom.

There were only twelve tables in the entire restaurant, and excluding his, there were only four tables of guests in total.

"Hmm?" Richard suddenly saw that the guests at one of the tables looked familiar. "Ellie, take a look. Is that Kevin the one we met on the airship?"

Ellie looked in the direction Richard pointed and nodded.

"It's him."

"That'll be easy."

Richard came to Kevin with a smile and greeted Kevin in a very familiar manner.

"Kevin, long time no see, have you missed me recently?"

The person having dinner with Kevin was Griffith, who had helped him pass the exam. When he saw Richard coming up to say hello, Griffith stopped what he was doing.

"Richard?" Kevin was startled, and then instantly understood what Richard meant.

"Long time no see, long time no see, Richard, how have you been recently?"

As he spoke, Kevin took out a hundred-dollar college coin from his inner pocket.

"It's OK, but not as good as you, Master Kevin."

Richard took the college coins with a smile. The best thing about Kevin is that he knows what's good for him, whether on the airship or now.

"I'm not doing well at all. I just did some small business recently and made a little money." Kevin smiled and shook his head.

"Small business?" Richard twitched his nose. He smelled a fragrance as soon as he came to Kevin.

"The smell of wisteria flowers. Wisteria flowers can be used in making magic equipment or preparing magic potions."

Kevin was stunned for a moment, then he acquiesced. As a noble family that started out as a businessman, everyone in his family had a heart for business. After arriving at the wizard academy, Kevin, who had a keen sense of smell, quickly found a business opportunity and began to deal in alchemical materials.

"Good insight, Richard, are you specializing in the alchemy school?"

Seeing Kevin admit it, Richard's heart also became active.

He specializes in alchemy, and experimentation is essential in his future life. Although there are many materials in the commercial area, some niche items are difficult to find.

Now that Kevin has started trading in alchemical materials, he will definitely be involved in the business district in the future.

As the saying goes, more friends mean more paths, and Richard also wanted to make some friends.
