The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 336: The Remains of the Nightmare Lord
It must be said that what Ulises said made sense. This was the Tower of Truth, the residence of the Truth Wizard. The Dream Walker Club could only offend a Nightmare Lord at best.

But a mere Nightmare Lord dared to commit crimes in the Tower of Truth? Did he really think that the Tower of Truth only had residential floors?

With confidence, Richard landed on the ground. He took out the mithril staff from his pocket and gave himself two layers of mental protection.

This is not a nightmare world. The ability to turn falsehood into reality in a nightmare world should not appear, so Richard focused his protection on the spiritual level.

The Nightmare Red Mist's unreasonable ability to enter dreams is a sure-kill weapon for wizards below the Great Wizard. If you can't see through the disguise of the nightmare, even a three-ring wizard will die in the nightmare.

Richard went up and rang the doorbell.

Ring ring ring…

A noisy doorbell rang from the wizard tower.

Richard frowned slightly. At first glance, the doorbell sounded just a bit noisy. But if you listen carefully, you will find that there are many subtle howls hidden in the bell.

To wizards with keen hearing, the ringing of these bells sounded like something from hell, making one's hair stand on end.

Richard waited for a while, but no wizard came out of the wizard tower.

"Are they not here today?" Richard guessed.

But just as Richard was about to leave, the door of the wizard tower suddenly opened.

A wizard with a haggard face, like a mummy, walked out of the wizard tower.

Looking at this wizard, Richard felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. He searched through his memory and soon matched the scary-looking face in front of him with a face in his memory.

Richard was horrified to find that the wizard in front of him, who looked like a mummy, should be the director of the Dream Walker Club.

When Richard met him, he was still a second-ring wizard who seemed full of energy and had infinite hope for the future.

But the wizard who appeared before him now not only had a haggard face, but also a blank look in his eyes, as if he had suffered long-term torture and had completely lost hope in life.

"Who are you looking for?" the minister asked in confusion.

His voice was very rough and hoarse, just like two stones rubbing against each other.

"I'm looking for you, Mr. Minister." Richard said calmly, "We met once in the nightmare world more than 200 years ago. I wonder if the Minister still remembers it."

The minister looked at Richard in a daze, as if he was trying to mobilize his rigid brain.

Soon, the minister's expression suddenly became excited.

"I remember! I remember!! I remember you, Master!"

The minister's originally lifeless expression suddenly became lively. He hurriedly opened the gate of the courtyard and welcomed Richard in.

Richard looked at the minister's changed attitude and knew that the minister probably regarded him as the last straw to save him.

The problem he was in now was obviously related to the nightmare wizard world. In his eyes, Richard was a wizard who studied the nightmare world.

This identity naturally made him place his hopes on Richard.

"Mr. Minister, I think it would be better for me to ask before I enter your wizard tower."

Richard looked at the minister and his expression suddenly became serious.

"What on earth have you provoked? Why does your wizard tower look like it was pulled out of a nightmare world?"

The minister's body stiffened suddenly, and then he smiled stiffly.

"It seems that the master has already seen it."

"It's hard not to see." Richard said lightly.

The smile on the minister's face gradually disappeared, replaced by unspeakable regret.

"Master, you should have also gone to the Nightmare Knight's mansion back then."

After hearing this, Richard already had some guesses in his mind.

The problem with the Dream Walker Club might be related to the thing that the three-ring wizard took out from the mansion of Nightmare Knight Amade.

"I went." Richard nodded, and then asked, "What on earth did that Three-Ring Master take to turn you into what you are now?"

The minister showed a bitter smile on his face: "The master is really smart, he guessed it right away.

What Master Faret took out was a piece of the Nightmare Lord's body."

Upon hearing this answer, Richard was shocked at first, and then burst into ecstasy.

The Nightmare Lord's physical body, and it caused such a big noise.

This is definitely the raw material for refining!
However, Richard did not show this joy outwardly.

If he shows joy, he will get a discount when he asks for his reward later.

So Richard's expression deliberately became very ugly, and he said in a low voice:
"Let's go in and talk."

Upon hearing this, the minister immediately made way, then quickly walked to the door of the wizard tower and opened the door for Richard.

The two entered the wizard tower.

As the door of the wizard tower was closed, an inexplicable strange atmosphere instantly filled the wizard tower. Under the influence of this strange atmosphere, the entire wizard tower seemed to have a pair of eyes hidden in every corner and a monster hidden in every shadow.

The reception room of the wizard tower seemed to have not been cleaned for a long time, and cobwebs and dust were everywhere.

Richard waved his hand, and a breeze with a faint sound of crying swept away all the dust in the hall.

Richard, who noticed the change in the spell, couldn't help but look even gloomier.

The two men sat down, and the minister, with a wry smile on his face, told Richard what happened after he escaped.

"After you left, Master Faret and Ahmad had a great battle. In the end, Master Faret successfully withdrew from Ahmad's territory with the body of the Nightmare Lord.

After withdrawing from the territory, the master found a remote corner in the nightmare world and said he wanted to do an experiment. When we, the second-ring wizards, heard this, we naturally did not dare to disturb him, and soon left the nightmare world due to spell restrictions.

But when we entered the nightmare world again ten years later, we found a crystal ball at the place where we left.

The crystal ball recorded a message asking us to come to this wizard tower to do something. And the signature of this message was Master Faret. "

"So you came here?" Richard frowned and asked, "Are you so careless?"

The minister smiled bitterly and shook his head, then continued, “At that time, this wizard tower was not yet at the level it is today.

So when we came here, we didn't notice anything strange.

But when we followed the information and came to the basement, we found that something was wrong.

In the basement, Master Faret sealed his body in a coffin, and there was another layer of seal outside the coffin.

The information Master Faret gave us included a diagram of the magic circle's structure. He asked us to draw the magic circle in the basement according to the diagram and then activate it.

As long as you accomplish these two things, he will reward you handsomely in the future.

But the problem lies precisely in this magic circle."

The minister stood up and took Richard to the entrance of the basement. At the entrance to the basement, a strong nightmare force almost made Richard hallucinate.

Richard's face changed slightly, and he added a few more layers of mental protection to himself, then followed the minister into the basement.

The further down you go, the stronger the nightmare power in the space becomes.

In the material world, the power of nightmare looks very unreal, like a ghost.

When he arrived in the basement, Richard saw the coffin mentioned by the minister at a glance.

This is a black sarcophagus with countless densely packed runes flowing on it. And underneath the sarcophagus, an obviously broken magic circle is continuously drawing the power of nightmare out of the sarcophagus.

"When we were setting up Master Farret's magic circle, we made a mistake in one rune, which caused a big problem as soon as the entire magic circle started to work. An unknown force that we were not aware of instantly engulfed us and this wizard tower.

If it weren't for the protection of Master Faret's wizard tower, I'm afraid even the surrounding wizard towers would have been unsustainable.

After being swallowed by that power, we felt like we were cursed. Once we started to meditate or rest, we would fall into a horrible nightmare.

For more than two hundred years, I have not meditated once, nor have I rested once.”

Hearing this, Richard couldn't help but feel a little creepy. No wonder some wizards would go crazy after more than two hundred years without rest.

The minister looked at Richard with pleading eyes.

"Master, I know you have done a lot of research on the nightmare world, so please help us. As long as you can help us get rid of this curse, we can give you all our wealth."

Ulises' voice also sounded in Richard's ears at the right time.

"He was infected by the nightmare rules, which is equivalent to being attacked by the rules. This idiot thought about the curse, how could it possibly solve the problem?"

Richard remained calm and communicated with Ulises through mental messages: "Can the healing spell cure it?"

"can."

Richard was certain in his heart, and then he frowned and said to the minister: "Minister, your problem is a bit difficult to deal with."

"Difficult?" The minister was delighted. Difficult means it can be done, but the price is not high enough.

"Master, just ask. As long as you can remove this curse, we will sell everything we have to get the money for you."

Richard shook his head. "It's not like you'll have to sell everything you have, but you'll have to pay a price. I need all your research materials on the nightmare world, as well as the ritual magic to enter the nightmare world.

As for the other things…"

Richard looked the minister over and finally sighed.

"You can keep the rest for yourselves."

This minister never had a decent magic suit from beginning to end, so I guess his financial strength is not that good. Richard really looked down on his meager possessions.

"That's all?" the minister asked in surprise.

"That's all. However, you'd better come up with an explanation, because I'm going to remove the seal on this sarcophagus later."

Richard turned his gaze to the sealed sarcophagus.

"Ulises, do you think the three-ring wizard in here is still alive?"

Ulises quipped, “Do you want him alive or dead?”

Richard glanced at him and said, "Seriously. If he's still alive, I'll save him.

I think this wizard should be willing to exchange his research materials for his life."

"Haha, because of the mistakes made by these idiots, this wizard has probably turned into a half nightmare, half flesh and blood monster. If the things in the sarcophagus are not dealt with, this house will sooner or later become the boundary between the nightmare dimension and the material world.

Of course, for you, it is just a matter of finding a few three-ring wizards to seal it."

Richard frowned slightly: "In other words, the things in this sarcophagus will be harmful to the Tower of Truth, right?"

"Indeed."

Richard nodded, his expression instantly becoming serious.

As a recipient of the wizarding world's second-level badge of honor, he has an obligation to solve this future trouble for the Tower of Truth.

Well, that's it. He definitely doesn't covet the nightmare rules inside the sarcophagus.

Absolutely not!
