The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 345 The right choice
Richard heaved a sigh of relief, took out a bag of magic from his pocket and handed it to the old wizard.

"Sorry to trouble you, Master."

The old wizard weighed the bag, his face slightly startled, and immediately took out half of the magic essence from it.

"What the vice president said is indeed correct. You are indeed generous. But no matter how much magic essence there is, it will not be easy to spend when researching.

I'm asking a lot for half of this magic essence, you must take the rest back."

Seeing the serious look on the old wizard's face, Richard had no choice but to take the magic spirit back.

The old wizard went upstairs and brought Wu Ni down, then handed Richard a pocket watch and five bottles of potions.

"This magic suit, combined with the magic potion, can allow him to write out what is in his subconscious mind."

Richard bowed slightly: "Thank you, Master."

After leaving the wizard tower, Wu Ni stood beside Richard with a somewhat conflicted look on his face.

The old wizard just told him that nothing happened, and did not tell him the details. Seeing the tacit understanding between the old wizard and Richard, he was curious but did not dare to speak.

Richard glanced at him and smiled, "Curious about what the question is?"

Wu Ni nodded: "I have never heard of a wizard who can write a complete spell model without any research... Teacher, what is wrong with me?"

Richard looked at Wu Ni, struggling with whether or not to tell him the truth.

To be honest, Wu Ni is a very good student. Any teacher would feel very happy to have a student like Wu Ni.

He likes this student very much.

But the truth of this matter may lead the relationship between them as master and disciple to an unknown end.

"Oh! Forget it. If you want to know, I'll tell you." Richard sighed, his expression becoming a little serious. "You should have discovered a long time ago that you are different from ordinary wizard apprentices."

Wu Ni bit her lip and nodded slightly.

Having been an apprentice for so many years, he had long discovered that he was somewhat different from ordinary apprentices.

The return of his magic power far exceeds that of a normal wizard apprentice, and the detection range of his outward mental power is far beyond the range that a wizard apprentice should have.

Richard went on to say, "In fact, you are not a wizard apprentice. In the past, you were a three-ring wizard.

In the past, you had an accident during an experiment, and most of your soul was distorted by the rules.

At that time, you could already be called a monster, or a failure.

And I happened to meet you at that time, and with the idea of ​​solving the trouble for the Tower of Truth, I solved the problem of your past.

But in the process of solving it, I discovered who you are today."

As he spoke, Richard took out the crystal ball that sealed the twisted soul from his pocket.

The moment he looked at the twisted soul in the crystal ball, an indescribable panic instantly surged from Wu Ni's heart.

His instinct told him to stay away from the crystal ball!

Richard noticed Wu Ni's strange behavior and quickly put away the crystal ball.

Wu Ni covered his chest, recalling the fear just now, and asked in fear: "Teacher, what is this?"

"That is the part of your soul that has been twisted. When your mental strength grows a little more, you will be able to devour the fragment of this twisted soul and complete your own soul."

Wu Ni was a little absent-minded and said, "Is that so?"

Richard did not continue speaking, and the master and disciple returned to the wizard tower in silence.

After returning to the wizard tower, the two continued to study and research as usual.

However, in private, Wu Ni began to study spiritualism and philosophy, and Richard acquiesced to this.

A month later, Richard opened the door to nightmare again.

According to his estimation before he left, at this point in time, the bones should be about to reach a new lawless place.

After opening the nightmare door, Richard's soul floated out of his body, ready to enter the nightmare world.

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted his actions.

Richard released his mental power and found Wu Ni standing outside the door with a very conflicted look on his face.

"What does this kid want from me?" Richard wondered.

After telling Wu Ni the truth about his identity, he had not taken the initiative to look for Richard for a month. Every day, apart from studying alchemy, he would sneak out to study spiritualism and philosophy.

Logically speaking, it is understandable that Richard studied soul science, after all, Wu Ni's situation is indeed related to soul science.

But philosophy is a bit abstract.

After closing the door to the nightmare, Richard's soul entered the body and opened the door.

"Muni, what do you want from me?"

When Wu Ni saw the door being opened, he shuddered violently, but soon a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Teacher, I have secretly learned a lot about spiritual studies and philosophy during this period.

I think that the me now and the me in the past are, in a sense, two different people.

From a philosophical point of view, although my soul is still the same as before, my memory and my thoughts have completely changed.

This change was not a ship of Theseus, but a complete reconstruction.

From a spiritual perspective, when the past personality dies, the past me is already dead. Even if I reshape my personality and then instill my memories, I am just a replica of the past.

Although there is a lot of controversy within the spiritual school about this statement, I agree with it.

so--"

Wuni took a deep breath and said to Richard seriously, "I am Wuni now, your student. The three-ring wizard in the past is dead, and now there is only Wuni."

Richard listened to Wu Ni's story, was stunned for a moment, then smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Very good, as long as you figure it out."

"what!?"

Wu Ni was stunned by this sentence.

Richard said in a relaxed tone: "This relationship between us depends entirely on you. If you are willing to accept your new identity, then you will be my student Wu Ni.

My attitude towards you has never changed from the beginning to the end."

"What if I don't figure it out?" Wu Ni asked stupidly. Richard smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then returned to the laboratory.

If Wu Ni does not accept his new identity, then he will have no choice but to expel Wu Ni from his school. Then he will sign a confidentiality contract with him, so that what he has learned from Richard will never be passed on to others.

Of course, this was the result of Wu Ni confronting Richard directly.

If Wu Ni decided to play along and try to recover his memory while learning Richard's knowledge, then Richard would have no choice but to make him disappear completely.

Although Richard felt a little bit reluctant about this way of dealing with the matter, as a dark wizard, the most he could do was to grind Wu Ni to ashes in pain.

Fortunately, Wu Ni chose the right option.

……

Reopening the nightmare door, Richard came to the nightmare world again.

Bones, who were resting in the wilderness, were startled when he saw the dark door suddenly appear beside him.

But when he saw Richard walking out of the door, he felt instantly at ease.

"Boss, is this your new ability?" Bone asked curiously.

"Well, it's a new ability."

Opening the coffin and entering the nightmare body, Richard instantly transformed from a soul from another world into the big nightmare of the nightmare world.

"How far are we from Three Wolf Town now?" Richard asked while stretching his body.

Bone quickly found the map and determined his location.

"It's probably still two days away."

Richard nodded slightly, then used the power of nightmare to create a spell support vehicle out of thin air, and then created a lot of magic essence as energy for the spell support vehicle.

The more Richard studied the power of nightmares, the more he felt that the rules of this world were so absurd.

He could rub out the magic essence with just ten strands of nightmare power. And after using it up, he could also recover ten strands of nightmare power.

It is equivalent to him getting the energy of the magic spirit for free.

If this happened in the material world, the entire school of transmutation would be turned upside down.

Although the various rules of the nightmare wizarding world are almost identical to those of the wizarding world, except for the nightmare rules, the other rules are more like embellishments.

All the rules of the material world must give way to the rules of nightmares.

However, this is also related to the fact that Richard has been playing at the low end.

The enemies he faced were generally big nightmares and small nightmares, and nightmare creatures of this level had very few nightmare rules.

Once a nightmare creature has rules, its strength will undergo a qualitative change.

In the nightmare wizard world, nightmare rules have the highest priority. If the rules are not used to hedge, a nightmare creature that is given complete magic immunity by the nightmare rules will really be immune to all spells.

……

Looking at the magic support vehicle that Richard created using the power of nightmare, even though Bone had seen it once, he was still shocked.

The spell support vehicle is not like a magic device that only has two or three parts. It has tens of thousands of parts.

All these parts need to be made by Richard himself.

If any part is wrong, the magic support vehicle will not be able to drive at all, just like in the material world.

"Come on, get in the car. This thing is much easier than running." Richard called.

After getting in the car, the magic support vehicle started speeding across the plains under Richard's control.

The speed of the spell support vehicle is much faster than the speed of bones traveling, and it can travel without rest for 24 hours.

In this way, Richard covered the two-day journey that would have taken Bones two days in less than a day.

Looking at the Three Wolf Town on the horizon, Richard showed a greedy smile.

……

Three Wolf Town, a medium-sized lawless place, was named after its founders, who were three giant wolves.

Since the two nightmare territories adjacent to Sanlang Town have always been at odds, Sanlang Town has always had a lot of black activities, which also makes their strength stronger than the previous Cross Town.
Therefore, many nightmare creatures also come here.

The howling north wind blew wildly across the plain, and the dead branches and fallen leaves surged on the earth like waves.

The pedestrian impatiently pushed away the fallen leaves that were blowing towards him. He looked up at the town not far away, then quickened his pace.

Soon, the traveler entered the town, but the loneliness of the town made him feel a little creepy.

Three Wolf Town, a lawless place that was well-known among nightmare creatures, should not be so quiet.

The pedestrians suppressed their worries and walked towards the center of the town.

Along the way, he discovered that although many buildings had been repaired due to the Blood Moon Rules, it was still possible to see that fierce battles had taken place here in the past.

The remains of many buildings are still scattered between the buildings.

The traveler quickened his pace, and soon he arrived at the center of the town.

In the center of the town was a tavern, where the boasting of the drinkers dispelled the fear in the hearts of passers-by.

He hurried forward and pushed the door open. In the tavern, the familiar devil bartender made passers-by feel very peaceful.

He walked quickly to the counter and a nightmare crystal condensed in his hand.

"Bartender, has anything big happened in our town recently? Why are there so few people here?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire tavern fell silent in an instant.

The pedestrian looked back blankly and found that all the nightmare creatures in the tavern were staring at him.

"Haha, my dear guest, we have a rule in Three Wolf Town that you cannot ask what happened in Three Wolf Town in the past."

The devil bartender's voice came from behind the pedestrian, who turned around and asked in confusion:

"why?"

"Why?" The demon bartender smiled, "Because everyone is so scared that they don't even dare to talk about that person."

"that person?"

"Yes, the one who slaughtered all nightmare creatures in the town except the drinkers in the tavern half a month ago."
