The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 370 Pre-war meeting
The Far North of the nightmare world has changed dramatically with Richard's management. In the city projection caused by the blood moon rule, millions of nightmare creatures provide Richard with nightmare power.

With the accumulation of this power day by day, Richard's nightmare power has become extremely terrifying.

So much so that Richard had to abandon his original nightmare body and create another one to use for daily actions.

A dark door appeared out of nowhere, and Richard's soul flew out of it.

The nightmare door opened into a gorgeously decorated room, but there was no furniture inside the room, only a pitch-black coffin.

Richard opened the coffin and entered the nightmare body inside.

Soon, a black-robed figure appeared in the northernmost city of the nightmare world.

"Sir, you are back."

Outside the mayor's residence, a nightmare creature that looked like a white ape spoke respectfully to Richard.

Due to the development of the Far North, Bones had been divided out by Richard and became nightmare knights. And the Far North City was managed by the white ape in front of him.

"Secretary, how much nightmare power is stored in the city?" Richard asked with some dignity.

The white ape thought for a while, and finally replied: "My lord, there are about 20 million nightmare powers in the city at present."

Richard groaned and said, "Twenty million... that's enough."

Richard only needs about four million nightmare powers to improve his mental strength, and 20 million is far beyond Richard's needs.

"Take me to the storeroom, and fetch Bones."

"Yes, my lord."

It took Richard almost ten days to refine four million nightmare powers.

Ten days later, Richard's mental strength remained at 299.9.

This is the limit of a mortal's mental strength. If nothing unexpected happens, Richard's number will not change for thousands of years.

As soon as Richard walked out of the warehouse, he saw a black knight who was five meters tall, wearing black armor and riding a majestic nightmare horse.

"Boss, you're looking for me." The black knight dismounted and knelt on one knee in front of Richard.

This black knight is the skeleton that has become the Nightmare Knight.

Richard nodded and said, "Yes, I have to go on a long trip and I probably won't be back for some time. During this time, you will be in charge of the territory."

Although the Nightmare Door allows Richard to enter the nightmare world freely, once Richard leaves the wizarding world, the Nightmare Door will become unable to open.

Even if it is forced open, what lies behind the door is not the nightmare wizarding world.

However, Richard could feel that the phenomenon of the Nightmare Gate was caused by his lack of strength.

The reason why Richard's nightmare door can be opened accurately next to the nightmare body is because there is a soul seed as Richard's beacon.

But once Richard comes to another world, the connection between souls will be blocked by some unknown barrier.

Richard conducted a simple test on this phenomenon and found that the stronger his mental strength, the smaller the effect of this hindrance.

If his mental strength could break through the limits of mortals, then overcoming this obstacle would no longer be a problem.

"Yes! Boss."

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the expedition has arrived.

The expedition level of the Tower of Truth remained the same, and the cold metal floor made Richard feel a little bored.

He suddenly remembered the last war he participated in - the Red Sun World Expedition. At that time, he was still a second-ring wizard and an advisor to the Richard Jorode Chamber of Commerce.

At that time, he was also standing on this metal ground, waiting for the arrival of the floating city with a group of wizards.

At that time, Vladimir was still alive. On this cold metal land, he told Richard about the cost of a great wizard's expedition to another plane.

Now Richard stood on this metal land again, but Vladimir, who taught him knowledge, was no longer there.

"Why are you standing here?"

A voice sounded behind Richard. He turned around and saw Stio, who was dressed in iron-gray skin, holding a staff like a sledgehammer in his hand, looking at him curiously.

"If I'm not standing here, where should I stand?" Richard was confused. "Aren't we all waiting here?"

Stiol was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and said: "Oh, yes, this is your first time to participate in a plane expedition after becoming a third ring."

Richard was curious when he heard this and asked, "Does a three-ring wizard have any special privileges when going on an expedition?"

Stio smiled and said, "Other colleges don't know, but our college does."

After that, he asked again with some doubt: "Don't you know?"

Richard shook his head honestly.

"Forget it, Jimmy probably forgot. It's okay, just come with me."

Following Stio, Richard came all the way to a room below the expedition floor.

Here, the White Wizard's war machine is being activated, preparing to enter the upper platform.

Stio moved among the war airships with ease and soon found a rather large airship.

After opening the hatch of the airship, Richard discovered that there were hundreds of three-ring wizards sitting in the airship.

"Steo, Richard, you guys are really slow." Jimmy said with a smile to the two of them, "If you were a little later, we could go straight into the floating city." Steo laughed boldly and said, "Hey, I was delayed on the way."

The two of them sat down, and Richard looked at the wizard in the cabin with some curiosity.

These wizards are all three-ring wizards, and they are at least vice-president level in the academy. Once upon a time, Richard was still far away from wizards of this level, and he had to look up to them.

Now he has become one of these wizards.

As everyone arrived, Jimmy started the meeting.

"The world we are going to explore this time is very unusual. According to the dean's judgment, this world should be the battlefield of the war between the Lost Ones and a certain civilization in the ancient times.

And in this war, the Lost Ones should be the defending side.

So if nothing unexpected happens, we should encounter the war machines of the Lost Civilization next."

As he spoke, Jimmy pulled out a bundle of scrolls from his pocket and distributed them to everyone.

"This scroll contains the academy's research on the Lost Ones over the years. You can take a look at it. It should be helpful. Also, if you have any research on the Lost Ones, it would be best to share it with everyone now.

A little more information means a little more chance of survival on the battlefield."

Everyone took the scroll and opened it to read it carefully.

Soon, a three-ring wizard spoke up, "I have come across a type of weapon used by the Lost Ones. The material of that weapon is similar to crystal, and its shape is a polyhedron.

This weapon can track the enemy autonomously, and the search mechanism should be sound and light. Under normal conditions, this weapon will be optically invisible. Once activated, they will emit a dark red light and emit high-energy shocks with energy levels between 3,000 and 3,500. "

As he spoke, the three-ring wizard took out a crystal ball from his pocket, inside which was sealed a dark red regular polyhedron.

"I've seen this kind of thing before." A wizard who looked like an alchemical puppet said, "This kind of thing can self-destruct when necessary, and its power is about 8,000 energy levels.

Physical attacks are the most effective way to deal with this kind of thing. A blunt attack of one thousand energy levels can break it.

But there is an energy barrier on the outside of this thing, and elemental spells below 2,000 energy levels are basically ineffective."

After hearing this, all the wizards nodded and memorized the data of this weapon.

"I have also seen a weapon of the Lost Ones," another wizard said, "It is a huge black crystal puppet that looks like a spider.

This kind of puppet is extremely resistant to both elemental and physical attacks, but its only attack method is physical attack.

However, this puppet seems to exist as a mother body, and it will release many weapons similar to those mentioned above.

If you encounter this kind of enemy, my personal suggestion is to run away directly. Of course, if any of you know how to perform the Disintegration Technique, that’s another matter.”

As soon as the wizard finished speaking, another wizard spoke up: "I have also seen a weapon, it is a crystal tower..."

At this critical moment concerning their own lives, the wizards were no longer stingy with their research and began to share information about the Lost Ones.

The various strange and bizarre things mentioned in it opened Richard's eyes.

In this information, he seemed to see a great civilization that liked to manipulate crystals.

"...If you encounter this kind of weapon, my suggestion is to attack with something like shockwave."

Another wizard shared his information about the Forerunners. After he finished speaking, the airship cabin fell silent, as if all the information had been shared.

Richard saw that no wizard responded for a long time, so he said, "I also have some information to share with you."

"Oh?" Jimmy looked at Richard with some curiosity, "Richard, I remember this is your first expedition after becoming a third ring.

Have you seen weapons of the Lost Ones before?"

When the wizards in the cabin heard this, they all turned their eyes to Richard.

The things of the Lost Ones are not so easy to get. Behind each piece of information they share are the lives of several or even dozens of wizards.

And even if Richard had seen it, seeing it and sharing information are two different things.

The prerequisite for sharing intelligence is to have corresponding research.

Sharing unconfirmed intelligence will not only fail to help others, but may also mislead others.

Richard shook his head slightly. “What I saw were not the weapons of the Lost Ones, but the weapons of their servants.”

As he spoke, he took out a projection crystal ball from his pocket. Under Richard's control, the crystal ball projected a three-dimensional sacred armor in the air.

"This is what I encountered during my last expedition. It is a weapon that the Lost Ones equipped their vassal army. This armor shell can withstand at least 5,000-level spell attacks and has a variety of enemy detection mechanisms, including detecting shadow gaps.

This type of armor comes standard with a weapon I call a chainsaw sword. This weapon has extremely strong magic-breaking properties and can break through a 4,000-level magic barrier in a moment.

In addition, it has many other functions, but due to the urgency of the situation, I was unable to study them carefully at the time.

All I know is that this thing can self-destruct, and it’s extremely powerful.”

When the wizards heard the news shared by Richard, a trace of shock flashed through their hearts.

It was quite difficult for them to encounter this kind of thing. How did Richard survive at that time?

But before they could accept this information, the new information reported by Richard made their hearts stop.

Richard said quietly, "If you encounter this thing, I suggest you just run away and don't get entangled with them. Because the last time I encountered this thing...

There were ten of them.”
