The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 409 Hub World
After years of fighting, the Salamanders have lost most of their members, and currently only have 132 members left.

But all these members have made great progress in the battles in the Green Forest World.

Under the stimulation of cruel biological weapons and various dangerous but rich plants rich in evolutionary substances, there are nearly one hundred second-level fire lizards among the remaining members, and the remaining first-level fire lizards are also on the verge of breakthrough.

Even the regiment's first company commander became a third-level fire lizard not long ago.

And the most surprising thing is that a considerable number of these fire lizards have learned simple spellcasting abilities.

Although the spellcasting abilities of these fire lizards are rudimentary, even wizard apprentices are better than them.

But it’s still something worth surprising.

This shows that the potential of these fire lizards has not yet been fully tapped.

The fire lizards gathered as ordered. Richard looked at the iron-like fire lizards in front of him and said, "I am very surprised by your performance in this war.

You guys have proven to me once again that aliens aren't bad.

Now, the war is coming to an end, and I will fulfill my promise.

I have two contracts here, one is to continue serving in the regiment, and the other is to return to the Chiyang world to be an instructor.

Both contracts have their own advantages, you can decide for yourself."

After that, Richard took out two group contracts and handed them to the captain of the first company who had become a third-level creature.

The company commander took the contract and signed his name on it without hesitation to continue serving.

Then, one by one, the fire lizards signed their names on the contract to continue serving.

This situation was somewhat unexpected for Richard.

He had not expected that these Salamander warriors in front of him would love war so much that modifying the contract became a completely unnecessary action.

Even if he didn't modify the contract, these fire lizards would choose to continue serving. They have become somewhat dependent on war.

"They all chose to serve in the army... This was something I had not expected."

Richard looked at the contract full of names and casually left his own name on it. The next moment, the contract turned into a ball of fire and disappeared into the air.

The Salamanders remained as silent as before, but Richard sensed a change.

This change came from the spirit. This contract seemed to have become some kind of test, tempering the spirits of all members of the entire regiment.

The entire battle group seemed to have become a complete individual at this moment.

"But since you have chosen this, I will not send you all back. Continue your training."

"Yes!" the Salamanders answered in unison.

……

Fifteen years after the Final Battle, the portal opens.

But what is different from the past is that this time the portal is not directly connected to the Tower of Truth, but to a transit world called the Hub World.

The distance between portals cannot be extended infinitely. When the distance between portals exceeds a certain limit, a portal must be added in the middle as a transfer.

The distance between the Green Forest World and the Wizarding World just exceeds the maximum distance of the portal.

So, the portal is connected to the hub world.

The hub world connected to the Green Forest World is extremely bustling, with portals from more than ten worlds transiting through this world.

The cross-domain caravans of the Wizard Chamber of Commerce, wandering wizards who came out to broaden their horizons, various subspecies of humans, and even the slave races of the great wizards gathered in this world, forming a wonderful but harmonious picture.

"Gah, this world is pretty good, just like our business world."

Ulysses stood on Richard's shoulder, looking at the city in the hub world where demons were rampant, and said with some nostalgia.

"We also have this kind of transit world. Caravans traveling north and south stop in the transit world to trade goods or replenish supplies.

All kinds of strange things and races gather in one world. As long as you are willing to look for it, you can find anything you want in the transit world."

Richard looked at the city in front of him, which was in chaos, but he did not sigh like Ulysses.

To him, this world was just an enlarged version of the commercial layer of the Tower of Truth, nothing to see.

After he came out of the portal, he began to look for a wizard guild called the Fist of Truth in the city.

Jimmy told him that the great wizard Garlon had found the ritual magic that could bring things from other dimensions a few years ago. But because the portal was not connected before, the great wizard Garlon was too lazy to return to the Green Forest World from the Wizarding World for such a small matter.

So a few years ago, he handed it over to a chamber of commerce called Fist of Truth under the academy for temporary preservation.

And with the connection of the portal, the ritual magic was immediately transferred to a branch of the Fist of Truth Chamber of Commerce in the hub world.

Richard came to the hub world this time to take away this spell and return to the wizarding world.

……

Cities in the hub world are often mega-cities that expand outwards from the portal as the center. In such cities, it is quite difficult to find a branch of the Chamber of Commerce.

Although the Fist of Truth Chamber of Commerce is backed by the Garon Wizard Academy, it is not actually a large chamber of commerce. The main business of this chamber of commerce is special ingredients from various worlds, and it is considered the external procurement department of the canteen of the Garon Wizard Academy.

So naturally, they would not, like some big chambers of commerce, establish a luxurious chamber of commerce branch in a hub world city where every inch of land is valuable.

In order to find the Chamber of Commerce branch, Richard had to find a local guide.

"Master Wizard, are you sure you didn't say the wrong name?"

In front of Richard, a local guide with a human body and a jellyfish-like head asked in confusion. Richard frowned slightly, "I'm sure it's the name. Why, didn't you find it?"

"Then you may have come to the wrong city, sir." The guide said with some regret, "There is no such Chamber of Commerce in this portal city.

But you can tell me about his main business area. I have some knowledge of other cities and may be able to give you some suggestions. "

Richard said in a steady voice: "This Chamber of Commerce mainly deals in magical ingredients, such as magical beast meat and magical plants, which are all within their business scope."

"That's it."

Many tiny arcs of electricity suddenly flashed in the guide's jellyfish's head, as if it was recalling something.

“Then I guess they should have set up a branch of the Chamber of Commerce in City No. 9. The world connected by the portal is rich in magical beasts.

City 11 is also a possibility, that world is rich in many magical plants."

"Okay, thanks for your advice."

Richard threw a piece of magic to the guide and immediately took out the hub world map from his pocket.

According to the map, the city he is currently in should be Portal City No. 7, which is not far from City No. 9.

"It's not too far."

Richard put away the map in his hand, then his body turned into a stream of light and flew away.

The jellyfish tour guide, who felt the life radiation from Richard, suddenly felt his legs go weak and he almost fell to the ground.

He looked at the receding light with some horror, and said with some fear:

"My Mother of the Sea, she is actually a three-ring wizard. Fortunately, I didn't trick him, or I would be dead this time."

……

Following the instructions on the map, Richard spent five days and arrived at City Number Nine mentioned on the map.

Here, Richard, who had experience, immediately found a local guide.

"You're looking for the Fist of Truth Chamber of Commerce. I'm familiar with that place."

In front of Richard, a short green man smiled somewhat flatteringly.

"Take me there." Richard said calmly, "You will benefit from it."

The little green man chuckled and a pair of fly-like wings grew behind him.

"Okay, sir, follow me."

Following the guide, Richard traveled through the complex City 9. But soon, Richard noticed something was wrong.

Because the environment around him became more and more dilapidated, as if he had entered a slum.

After all, the Fist of Truth Chamber of Commerce is backed by the Garon Wizarding Academy. Even if it can't build a luxurious branch, it won't fall to such a place.

"Are you sure you're not taking the wrong road?" Richard frowned slightly.

He collected a lot of information about the hub world on the way. In these portal cities, wizard crime was rampant and foreign wizards were often robbed clean.

"Sir, don't look at this place as shabby." The little green guide seemed to have guessed Richard's thoughts and explained, "This place was one of the starting points of City No. 9.

The main reason why it looks so shabby now is that it is difficult to renovate and no one is willing to spend the money.

But the people living here are all respectable wizards, which is different from those slums."

Richard looked around. Most of the buildings nearby were tall, which was somewhat different from the popular architectural style in the wizarding world today.

At least in the Four Rings Tower of Truth, this towering architectural style has been out of date for more than two thousand years.

Low, spacious wizard towers are now in fashion.

When Tosio built the wizard tower, he often complained about the popular style of wizard towers. He said that this short and fat wizard tower was a complete insult to the wizard tower.

After flying with the guide for another ten minutes, Richard arrived in front of a small arena.

"Sir, we have arrived. This is the Fist of Truth Chamber of Commerce."

Seeing the iconic Colosseum, Richard was sure that the guide had taken him to the right place.

After throwing a piece of magic essence to the guide, Richard turned around and came to the door of the arena.

There were two golden lion men standing in front of the arena, looking very majestic.

Seeing Richard about to enter the arena, the lion man on Richard's left asked, "Sir, do you have a ticket?"

"No, but I'm not here to watch the fights?" Richard said calmly, "I'm here to see the branch president of the Fist of Truth Chamber of Commerce."

"Do you have an appointment?" asked the lion man on Richard's right.

"Uh...no."

"Sorry, you need to make an appointment first..."

Before the lion man on the left could finish his words, he felt a terrifying and trembling pressure from Richard.

Under this pressure, the two lion men suddenly froze and could not move.

Richard calmly walked through the lion man and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, it took me five days to get here. I just don't want to wait any longer."
