The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 357: Mortal City, Nightmare Territory

"Fake pregnancy?" Ellie looked at Richard in confusion, "What the hell is that?"

Richard explained: "The false pregnancy period is a special physiological phenomenon unique to female dragons. When a female dragon's strength reaches a certain level and it has collected a certain amount of information about the life of advanced creatures, it will experience a false pregnancy.

This type of pregnancy will not give birth to an offspring, but will simply integrate the life information into your reproductive cells.

When you need to give birth to offspring in the future, these life information can be integrated into the cells, making the offspring stronger. "

"But we haven't been together for the past two years." Ellie's face was still confused.

Richard stroked his chin and thought: "Well... take a crystal ball and measure your physical condition."

When Ellie took the test, the crystal ball showed that her physical fitness had reached 140 points.

After she was promoted to a second-ring wizard, her physique automatically grew due to her bloodline.

This also gave her the idea of ​​improving her physical fitness.

It just so happened that the gravity training room built by Richard was no longer useful due to his rapid increase in strength.

So she borrowed Richard's gravity laboratory to use for physical training.

Over the years, it has been quite effective.

"That's not surprising," Richard replied, "When I left, I remember you were 139.9.

I guess your physical condition just happened to reach the standard in the past two years, so it triggered a false pregnancy."

As a third-level creature, he is already in the first tier below the Lord of the World, and can naturally be called a high-level creature.

The two of them had been in love for many years, and Ellie had already stored enough information about Richard's life.

So as soon as Ellie's physical condition arrived, false pregnancy would automatically occur.

A trace of shyness suddenly flashed across Ellie's face: "So... I can give birth to your child now?"

Richard nodded: "You can say that, but I don't recommend you to give birth to children casually."

"Ah, why?"

"Because giving birth to offspring will weaken the mother's strength." Richard said calmly, "Dragons are different from humans. When a dragon gives birth to offspring, its physical condition will decline and it will fall into a long period of weakness.

The stronger the offspring born, the more the physical condition will deteriorate and the longer the period of weakness will be.

It’s not worth it.”

"alright."

Ellie looked a little disappointed, although she was very interested in giving birth to Richard's child.

But if you weaken your own strength just because of a whim, it would be too unprofitable.

"Okay, the problem is solved. The false pregnancy period will probably last about half a year, and you'll be fine after this period.

Once your strength reaches the third ring, you can control the false pregnancy yourself.

During this period, you just need to avoid absorbing the life information of higher-level creatures."

Boom!
Allie suddenly jumped up from the bed and hit Richard hard on the head.

"What are you talking about!" Ellie said angrily, "You are my only partner!"

Richard rubbed his head and replied helplessly: “My ancestor, can you please listen to me.

You don't think that only mating can collect life information. The flesh and blood of high-level life that you touch and the blood that merges into your body will all be stored as life information.

I'm telling you to avoid contact with the flesh and blood of higher beings during this period."

Richard's words made Ellie's pretty face turn red.

"Um...I'm sorry." Ellie whispered.

Richard waved his hand: "Forget it. Your laboratory is downstairs. I'll take you there now."

……

After the construction of the wizard tower, Richard put the establishment of a mortal city on the agenda.

After all, this is related to the establishment of his nightmare territory.

It is very easy to populate the city. All you need to do is tell a few tribes wandering in the wilderness, and the city built by Tosio, which can accommodate 100,000 people, will be full in no time.

But even if the city is full, Richard needs these people to live here permanently. And he also wants to use the seeds of this city to establish a mortal kingdom on this tundra.

This requires certain management and coordination capabilities.

But these things can be learned. For Richard, the lack of experience in the early stage can be completely solved by money.

If there is anything missing, just buy it directly from the Wizard Guild.

Driven by this mentality, Richard quickly took action.

Soon the first tribe came to the city.

“Welcome to my city.”

Richard smiled as he looked at the somewhat thin snowmen in front of him.

In front of him, a small tribe of only a few hundred people stood outside the city with their families.

These snowfield people looked at the city with somewhat dull eyes. These houses built using enchantment technology were a strange sight that they had never seen in their lives.

"This is a miracle. We made the right choice." murmured an old snowman.

A middle-aged man who looked strong and was wearing animal skins came up to Richard.

He knelt down before Richard and shouted:

"Great wizard, we are willing to be your people and live in this city for thousands of years."

As he spoke, a black crow flew out from the tribe and said respectfully to Richard: "Great Creator God, I have completed the mission you entrusted to me."

Yes, this black crow is actually a sacred tree elf.

"Very good, I will bestow glory on you." After saying that, Richard touched the Black Crow's head.

The Holy Tree Spirit said excitedly: "Great Creator God, I am willing to sacrifice my life for you."

Richard smiled and opened the rift in the secret realm, throwing the overly fanatical holy tree elf back into the secret realm.

Then he turned and looked at the middle-aged man.

"You don't have to do this. I don't need to kneel down."

Having said that, Richard helped him up from the ground.

"Come, take a list of your tribe members and give it to me later. I will distribute the corresponding rations according to the number of your tribe members.

By the way, who among you can read?"

An old man walked out of the team: "Great wizard, I know wizard language."

"As long as you can read."

Richard nodded and pulled a planting guide from his pocket.

“This book records the planting methods of various plants. You can take a look at it later. If you have any questions, ask me and I will answer them for you.

This book is related to whether you can have food to eat next year, so you must take it seriously. "

"Your mercy, great wizard."

The old man walked up to Richard and took the planting guide with both hands. He was about to kneel down to express his gratitude, but was stopped by Richard.

He said helplessly: "I told you, I don't need to kneel down."

……

The first tribe quickly settled in the city.

The name of this tribe is Lalake, which means brave people in the language of the snow people.

And they really deserve this title, being the first to try something new.

Food and rations were distributed quickly, and the people from the snowfields who moved to their new home had no resistance to this place.

After the rations were distributed, they gathered in a small square and sang and danced.

No nation likes to wander in the wilderness. If they can be given a warm house and enough food, only fools would be willing to hunt monsters in the snow and ice.

On the third day after the Lakla tribe arrived, the second tribe came to the city.

Richard still greeted them personally and arranged accommodation for them.

Soon, the third and fourth tribes also arrived in the city.

Richard somewhat underestimated what wizards meant to these snowmen. In the eyes of these snowmen, wizards were gods walking in the world.

They must obey the will of the gods.

The endless stream of snowfield people soon made the whole city lively.

And in the nightmare world, a new nightmare territory is rising.

"Listen, you bunch of losers, do you have to be so scary?"

In the square, a nightmare creature with the strength of a little nightmare stood on the podium, teaching his scary skills to the many nightmare spirits below.

Above the square, Richard and Bones watched the scene quietly.

"Not bad," Richard nodded with satisfaction, "I didn't realize that you, Bone, have the talent to manage a territory."

Bone lowered his head shyly and said, "Boss, I learned all this from you.

Teach the skills of collecting nightmare power, avoid fights between nightmare spirits as much as possible, and promote those nightmare spirits who collect nightmare power faster as team leaders.

These are what you did in the village back then, I just copied them.”

Richard was stunned for a moment. Indeed, when he first entered the nightmare world, he managed the territory for a few months.

"It's a skill to be able to copy." Richard said indifferently. He patted Bone's shoulder and said, "Keep it this way. This city is just the beginning. Soon, there will be many more cities like this on this snowy plain.

Then you will be my nightmare knight."

"Yes," Bones replied loudly, but then he lowered his voice and said to Richard a little embarrassedly, "But I still want to be by your side, Boss, and don't want to be a nightmare knight."

Richard glared at him and said, "You are not allowed to stay by my side. You must become a nightmare knight. There is no room for negotiation."

The scroll that Sefer gave him that year recorded the secret of becoming a Nightmare Lord.

In order to become a Nightmare Lord, a nightmare creature must accumulate 50 million nightmare powers, own a territory and at least three named nightmare creatures.

And these three nightmare creatures must become nightmare knights.

So Richard couldn't keep Bones with him, he had to become a knight.

……

The city, which could accommodate 100,000 people, was full in just three months, and there was a steady stream of tribes coming to Richard's city.

This forced Richard to urgently contact Tosio and ask him to build some houses to accommodate the newly arrived tribes.

During this process, Richard also encountered many problems.

For example, there are not enough areas for growing food, the sewer system is not as good as expected, the water source is polluted, and there are feuds between tribes...

These problems made Richard very busy and it took him a whole year to solve them all, at least on the surface.

Although he could rely on the wizard's authority and the law to restrain these snow people, he couldn't keep an eye on them all day.

The blood feuds between tribes, the bad habits acquired while wandering in the snowfields, these things can only be eliminated with time.

Richard, however, was not short of time.
