The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 459 Mayfly Gem
Under Mira's arrangement, the work in the fortress began to proceed in an orderly manner.

Damaged turrets were replaced, destroyed ground was repaired, injured wizards were treated, and everything was in order.

Richard, the theoretical commander, looked at such an orderly scene and an inexplicable thought popped up in his mind - he was an outsider.

Richard smiled at the thought and put it out of his mind.

As long as you follow the instructions, outsiders don't matter.

He is only a temporary commander, not the real commander of this team. After the wizarding world is mobilized, there will definitely be a new white wizard to take over his position.

After entering the fortress, Richard entered the command room and began to monitor every tree and blade of grass around the fortress with the help of the surveillance array around the fortress.

The commander of the White Wizards emphasizes that capable people should do more work. In addition to daily decision-making, the commander's superb strength when carrying out certain tasks is also far beyond that of ordinary wizards.

Therefore, the important responsibility of monitoring the battlefield fell on the commander.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the commander would appoint several subordinates as his staff to work with him or simply replace him in this job.

But now, the entire fortress is short of people, so he can only honestly shoulder his responsibilities.

In the dark room, crystal balls projected the scenes observed by their corresponding surveillance magic circles according to Richard's ideas.

Each of these projected scenes was extremely dull and boring. Due to the policy of clearing the land, the vegetation on the entire mountain range had been cleared, and the caves had been blown up. The animals living in the mountains had either migrated or become extinct.

The mountains that were once full of vitality are now as barren as a desert.

But these are necessary costs... at least in the eyes of wizards.

After a long time, the door of the command room was pushed open, and Mira, who had arranged various matters, entered the room.

"Well, Mira, you're finally here."

Richard stood up from his chair and gave up his seat.

"Help me take a look for a while. I have something here that I need to study."

"Sir, please go about your business. I was just watching the video."

"Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work."

After leaving the command room, Richard did not go to the commander's private lounge, but went directly into the secret realm.

In the secret realm, the Snake King was discussing with Ulysses a plan to reshape his body.

Actively reshaping the body is a delicate job.

The snake king needs to integrate and deploy the collected blood, then plan his own body structure, determine the operation of each system and each organ... and other details. Reshaping the body is not like making a synthetic beast, all problems need to be considered.

Even for Ulises, his body only began to become more refined after it recovered to the third-level biological strength. Before that, Ulises' body needed to be replaced every once in a while.

Richard came over to the two of them, took out a crystal ball, and planned to record the whole process.

This discussion is undoubtedly a valuable piece of knowledge.

"Gah, that's it for now."

Ulises stopped discussing shortly after Richard arrived. At this moment, he and the Snake King had roughly planned the direction of the new body.

All that remained was to come up with the plan, reshape the body, and gradually fine-tune the details.

Richard stopped recording with a feeling of wanting more. This kind of discussion was not common. All the knowledge involved was the conclusions drawn by the two strong men through their own practice.

It is something that you can use directly after you get it.

"Why did you come to the secret realm?" Ulysses turned around and asked.

Richard spread his hands and said, "I am a black wizard, a complete amateur on the front battlefield. I am only useful when the mayflies come. I'd better let the white wizards do their daily work."

"That's true." Ulises nodded slightly, "But you can still learn these things. I'm afraid you won't have many opportunities to go deep behind enemy lines in the future."

Ulises had learned about the situation in the wizarding world from Richard. According to his estimation, if the effect of this battle was not very good, the wizarding civilization would enter a period of defense for quite some time.

Wizards have no shortage of resources. Many of the worlds occupied by wizard civilizations have only been developed superficially. Most of the mineral deposits have been sealed to maintain the market.

Even if these minerals were squandered, they would allow the wizarding civilization to squander for an entire era.

Therefore, rather than actively attacking, the wizard civilization is more likely to defend.

When the Dharma Ending Age comes to an end and the magic power returns, it will be the most appropriate strategy for wizards to launch a counterattack.

Of course, if the Galaxy Mayfly Civilization performs too poorly, the Wizard Civilization will definitely not mind taking a bite of the fat meat first.

Richard also agreed with Ulises' suggestion, but he had more important things to do at the moment.

"Let's wait until later to learn. Let's just look at these things now."

As he spoke, Richard took out the pocket that Rico had given him.

Richard opened his pocket and poured out the strangely shaped crystal ball and the gems inside it that were suspected to be extracted from the corpses of mayflies.

"Look at what's inside this crystal ball."

Richard handed the crystal ball to Ulysses, who took it and used his mental power to receive the information inside. Soon, he said in surprise: "These bugs are quite creative. There should be no problem with the technology here, but its function is probably questionable.

This group of bugs has buried a mental hint in the crystal ball. Once you come into contact with the information inside, you will unconsciously want to share this information with others. "

Ulises' words made Richard break out in a cold sweat. If Ulises had not stopped him in time, he would probably have been given this hint.

The reason why Xinghe Mayfly wants this technology to spread so much must be because the products of this technology can help them achieve certain goals.

Based on the abilities of these mayflies, Richard estimated that this gem could probably enhance the mind control of the mayflies.

"These bugs are really cunning." Richard sighed slightly.

When wizards conquer other worlds, they always break all laws with one force. Any conspiracy or trick is like a paper tiger in front of the magic of the White Wizard Legion.

As long as they advance steadily, even if the natives can gain an advantage for a while, they will be eliminated by the wizards sooner or later.

But these galactic mayflies are different.

"It's just a little trick." Ulises said lightly, "The smart wizards among you will definitely see that this method will not affect the overall situation.

Let’s take a look at these gems first.”

Richard and Ulysses each took a piece of the mayfly gem and began to determine the properties of the gem based on their own experience.

On Richard's side, the basic properties of this gem quickly became clear through measurements using a variety of instruments.

Overall, this gem is indeed a good alchemical material. Its physical data is more like plastic than gem. And the mental protection that Rico claims does have this function.

At first glance, there really is nothing wrong with this gem.

But soon, Ulises discovered a trick.

"This thing is interesting in terms of protection against mental shock."

He grabbed the Mayfly Gem and used his mental power to test it. Soon, the Mayfly Gem suddenly became turbid. A strong mental impact instantly burst out from the gem.

In an instant, all the holy tree elves in the secret realm felt dizzy, and the fire lizard craftsmen looked towards Richard vigilantly.

"What a strong mental shock."

Richard looked at the Mayfly Gem in shock. At this moment, the Mayfly Gem had returned to its original light green color.

But inside, there are strands of willow-catkin-like flocs that make the gem turbid.

"This thing is useless now." Ulises threw the gem away. "It's a one-time thing. I guess it was just to trick you."

Richard collected the gem that Ulysses threw away, and then asked about the details of Ulysses's experiment.

While recording the data, Richard soon discovered something was wrong.

He looked at the data in his notebook that he had checked several times, and frowned slightly.

"Unless this gem itself comes with a spell model, your mental output is totally disproportionate to the power you described."

If Ulysses' output is just a grenade, then the mental shock output by the gem is a cannonball.

"There is no problem with the data. I am sure it is this data."

Richard closed his notebook and a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

"Then we probably found a new and interesting gadget."

If he could find the reason why mental shocks were amplified, he could use this gem to make an alchemical power armor similar to the one he had seen on the airship, which contained a mental force amplification device.

And it is extremely cheap.

This is a huge enhancement for Richard, and even for wizards.

If this device were popularized among wizards, then a three-ring wizard could fully utilize this device to command the alien army to conduct concentrated firing of legion spells.

But after the excitement, Richard quickly calmed down.

As the creators of this gem, the Galaxy Mayflies must have been studying this thing thousands of years before wizards.

If this property really exists, then the Galaxy Mayfly must have discovered it long ago, and it must have a clear understanding of its advantages and disadvantages.

Although these galactic mayflies don't know much about wizards, they have definitely discovered that wizards are a spiritually evolved race.

If the mayfly gemstone really has the ability to continuously amplify spiritual power, then they would not allow the mayflies to spread. Unless this gemstone does not have this ability, or this characteristic can be utilized.

Li looked at the mayfly gem in his hand. The light green gem shone with a warm luster under the sunlight.

"Forget it," Richard shook his head, shaking off the chaotic thoughts in his mind, "My thoughts on research are becoming more and more utilitarian.

This is not a good thing.

Being driven by utilitarianism will only lead to blindness. It is better to be pure.

This thing has good properties and is worth studying.”
