The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 406 Trading
The end of the war caught many wizards off guard.

No one expected that the war, which was supposed to be protracted, would end in less than ten years.

Of the one million wizards who took part in the expedition, white wizards lost 70,000, while dark wizards lost nearly 50,000.

The cruelty of the underground battlefield is far greater than that of the ground battlefield.

But this loss is still small compared to a normal expedition.

For most wizards, this is something to be thankful for.

Not many wizards are willing to risk their lives fighting those tree people.

Post-war work soon began to proceed in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the great wizard Garlon.

The first issue is the planning of the development area. The area of ​​the existing wizard development area will remain unchanged, but the remaining wilderness areas do not need to be further developed.

The mission of the White Wizard Corps before the portal is opened is to repair and maintain the wizard frontier.

As for some wizards' request to explore the wild areas, the great wizard Garlon generously agreed, but on the premise that no major trouble should be caused.

The second issue is the maintenance of the floating city. The great wizard Garlon has no good ideas for the damage to the floating city.

He also did not have the design drawings of the floating city's power reactor. If he wanted to completely repair the floating city, he could only wait for the portal to be opened and the maintenance personnel from the Tower of Truth to come back for repairs.

However, before that, some minor problems with the floating city still need to be repaired by the expedition wizards.

This matter will be assigned in the form of a task, and the wizard who accepts the task will receive varying amounts of rewards.

Finally, there is the issue of rewarding people based on their merits.

In the final battle, although the White Wizard Legion suffered setbacks everywhere, their role remains unquestionable.

The Hellfire Legion nominated several wizards who made outstanding contributions in the war. Although these wizards failed to save the overall situation, they played an extremely important role in some local battlefields.

The great wizard Garlon commended them and gave them generous material rewards.

Then came the question of Richard.

……

"Wow, you really found something amazing."

Great Wizard Garlon looked at the Star Fortress not far away and couldn't help but sigh.

If the floating city is the crystallization of alchemical machinery, then the astral fortress before us can almost be called a miracle.

"If those old guys who study alchemical machinery saw this thing, they would probably be greedy to death."

"Haha, I think so too." Richard laughed, "When I saw this thing for the first time, my first thought was to move it into the secret realm."

"Then why didn't you move?" Great Wizard Garen said happily upon hearing this.

Richard spread his hands helplessly: "This thing is so big, how can I move it?"

"That's true." Great Wizard Garlon suddenly realized.

Having been a great wizard for a long time, he habitually judged things using the standards of a great wizard.

For a great wizard, this astral fortress would be just a little troublesome at best. But for a third-ring wizard like Richard, moving it would be no easier than moving a mountain.

"Alright," Great Wizard Garlon patted Richard on the shoulder and said happily, "You are the main contributor in this war. I promise you that you can use all the research results of this thing in my hands.

You can teach it to students, but you can’t sell it.”

Richard nodded repeatedly upon hearing this: "Of course."

The two walked into the floating city.

Great Wizard Garlon looked at the radiant aurora in the rift, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

He just took a step forward, and the next moment, the two of them appeared above the power reactor.

Looking at the fuel ring below, Great Wizard Garlon's eyes lit up.

"This is a good thing. I didn't expect that the Lost Ones could apply the rules to this extent. Incredible, incredible."

Richard saw that he was interested, so he said, "Dean, is there any trick to this?

Isn't this thing just a power furnace that uses energy radiation as a power source?"

Great Wizard Garlon smiled and said, "You are also a three-ring wizard. You can't just look at things based on their appearance.

I'm not an alchemist, so I don't have any opinion on the structure of this power furnace. But as a great wizard, the fuel of this power furnace is quite good stuff.

You see the radiation coming out of the fuel ring, but you don’t see what’s behind the energetic radiation it’s emitting.”

As he spoke, Great Wizard Garlon casually picked up a piece of black stone that fell from the fuel ring.

"This kind of material may exist in the astral world. But I can be sure that the piece we saw was definitely artificially synthesized by the Lost Ones.

They imprinted a complete fundamental rule into the material, and used it to drive the power reactor."

Hearing this, although Richard already knew the secret of the fuel ring, he still made a surprised expression at the right time.

"Complete basic rules? Is the power of the Lost Ones so strong?"

The so-called basic rules are extremely simple and pure rules discovered by wizards. The specific manifestation of this rule is that no matter how it is split, the difference between the fragments of the rule and the complete rule is only the strength of the effect.

Just like the basic rules of the fire element, no matter how you break it, its effect is still to control the fire element.

As for those non-basic rules, other effects will appear due to the shattering of the rules. For example, if the flame of annihilation is transformed into a rule, after it is shattered, the effect of the fragments may be to control flames, control shadows, or absorb energy, etc.

These basic rules are the cornerstones of the body of rules. Any body of rules is extended from a basic rule. The great wizard Garlon said with a sigh: "Yes, they are so powerful.

But alas, they still disappeared. Not even their names were left, only a title called "The Most High."

After saying that, he shook his head slightly, sighed, and then brought Richard back to the floating city.

Outside the floating city, Jimmy, who has recovered a lot, is directing the wizards to build an arena.

The resources in this world are extremely scarce. I think the pioneers must have taken away most of the resources before they used it as a fortress world.

Although the world itself has regenerated some resources in recent years, these resources are still better than nothing.

The wizard's commission, the damage to the floating city, and the massive amount of magic essence used by the great wizard Garlon in the final blow, this plane expedition can be said to be a huge loss.

After all, the World Tree cannot be sold for magic essence.

Therefore, Jimmy turned his attention to the various biological weapons that existed in this world.

These biological weapons have great combat power. It is a good choice to use them in the arena to fight and to train wizards within the academy.

According to Jimmy's plan, he intends to build ten arenas in the existing wizard-controlled areas, and place biological weapons and magical beasts of different difficulties in them.

He intends to make this world a training world for the Garlon Wizard Academy.

"Jimmy."

The voice behind him startled Jimmy. He turned around and saw Richard and the great wizard Garlon standing behind him without him noticing.

"Dean, how come you guys are back so soon?" Jimmy asked in confusion, "Didn't Richard take you to see the ruins of the Lost?"

"I've finished reading it." Great Wizard Garlon said with a smile.

He walked over to Jimmy and squeezed Jimmy's arm.

"You've recovered well. Once the portal opens, you'd better go to the hot spring world and soak in the fountain of life. That will be good for your recovery."

After saying this, the figure of the great wizard Garlon suddenly disappeared.

Jimmy turned to look at Richard.

"Richard, you're back just in time. I want to negotiate a deal with you regarding your puppet army."

……

Command Tower, Jimmy's office.

Jimmy sat behind the desk and said kindly, "On behalf of the academy, I want to purchase the giant floating cannon mother body and those spider-shaped crystal puppets in your hands."

Richard looked calm at his desk. He had been prepared for Jimmy's acquisition request.

After all, such a large number of Forerunner weapons in the hands of a wizard is indeed too conspicuous and too wasteful.

After the breakout, Richard still had 821 spider-shaped armed puppets, more than 35,000 floating cannons, and the floating mother body was intact.

With just these weapons, their combat power is enough to rival that of ten thousand white wizards.

Even according to the rules of the Plane War, Richard has to hand over one third of these things, but the remaining weapons are still priceless.

"So, Master, what price are you going to offer?"

Richard sat up straight, a businesslike smirk on his face.

Since we are talking about a deal, relationships and feelings have to be put aside, and interests come first.

"To be honest, I don't know what price to offer." Jimmy rubbed his head with a headache, "The value of your weapons is too high. I don't know what to exchange for them."

Jimmy knew that Richard had no shortage of magic essence, which meant that Richard had no shortage of resources.

Therefore, he had to trade with Richard for things that could not be exchanged for magic spirits, such as knowledge, promises, favors, and even some treasures that would not appear on the market.

But the value of these things is difficult to measure, and the two sides' views on the value of something may be very different.

"So I'm going to ask you, is there anything that you can't accomplish on your own for the time being?"

Jimmy has the support of the great wizard Garlon and has terrifying resources at his disposal. Many things that ordinary wizards cannot do are not difficult for him.

Richard pondered for a while and said, “Speaking of this… I actually have one.

I have a very good alchemical material in my hand, and I plan to make it into a staff. But I lack the necessary materials and my skills are not enough, so it has been put aside for many years.

I wonder if you can invite a great wizard from the alchemy school. If you can, then the rest will be easy to handle."

For Richard, the greatest value of these Forerunner weapons is their design drawings.

Among them, he had already refined the design drawings of the spider-shaped armed puppet and the crystal floating cannon. As for the remaining giant floating mother body, he could also refine it after he returned to the wizard world and made some preparations.

So it would be great if these things could be sold at a good price.

As a dark wizard, it is impossible for him to bring the floating mother body to the rear to cause destruction. It is enough to leave some spider-shaped armed puppets.

"A great wizard of the alchemy school?" Jimmy was slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "Although you are young, you have a lot of good things.

Tell me what material is missing from your staff. "

Richard smiled and said, "Balanced light, lots of balanced light."

The Staff Plan that Richard mentioned was exactly the Hand of Balance that he had planned back then.
