The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 480: Changes in the Wizarding World

"James, you went to join the army a few days ago."

"Yeah, it's a pity that I wasn't selected by the military."

On the second residential floor of the Tower of Truth, in the Black Tower Wizarding Academy community, Rose and James were chatting casually.

"Not selected?" Ross was a little surprised. "Your strength is not weak in our Black Tower Wizard Academy, how come you were not selected?
The military's standards are so high?"

James shook his head and sighed, "The standard is not high, but the military is in short supply of white wizards right now. The military doesn't want black wizards like us at all."

"don't want!?"

Ross was even more surprised.

"How could they not want dark wizards? In the plane war, the loss of dark wizards was much higher than that of white wizards. Could it be that there are more dark wizards in the military than white wizards? How is this possible!"

"Who knows? Anyway, they just don't want it." James said helplessly, "And I heard from the military that there will be no more black and white wizards in the future, only ordinary wizards and elite wizards."

"Ah? This guy is crazy, how could there be no black and white wizards? Without black and white wizards, he went to the back to cause trouble, who went to the back to assassinate?" Ross shouted in shock.

"I've already said that I heard it, God knows what rumors the wizard in the military has heard." James said indifferently, "By the way, I saw that the three-ring wizards in other academies have been recruited, have our academy's been recruited?"

"They called up the army a few days ago. You're going to join the army these days, which just happened to stagger your time with them."

The two were chatting enthusiastically when suddenly a streak of light flew past them, scaring them.

Ross looked at the light going away and said to himself, "Wow, judging from the momentum, this is probably the old three-ring."

James was a little confused: "Aren't all the three-ring wizards recruited?"

"Who knows? Maybe I didn't get all the things."

……

The stream of light drew an elegant arc in the sky and landed in front of a wizard tower.

Richard straightened his wizard robe and knocked on the door of the wizard tower.

Soon, a demihuman servant opened the door and welcomed Richard in. In the living room, Anna was holding a magic book in her hand, reading it absentmindedly.

"Senior sister, what's going on? Why was the teacher called up?"

Anna stood up from her chair and motioned for Richard to sit down.

"Please sit down first. The teacher is not the only wizard involved in this matter. This is the decision of the parliament. All three rings in the entire wizarding world have been drafted into the army."

"All three rings have been drafted into the army?" Richard said in astonishment.

Although he knew that the situation on the front line was not good and the parliament would definitely start mobilizing wizards, he did not expect that the parliament would actually recruit all the three-ring wizards at once.

"In addition to the three-ring wizards, the situation on the white wizard side is even worse. Not only have all the three-ring wizards been recruited, but a large number of two-ring wizards have also been recruited."

As she spoke, Anna looked at Richard with some worry.

"What's going on on the front line? The actions of the parliament are a bit scary."

"What's going on?" Richard smiled bitterly. "Sister, didn't you hear the mourning bell a while ago? A five-ring wizard died on the front line together with the world master of the Galaxy Mayfly.

The three major battle zones in the Galaxy World have now lost a piece. And the wizards’ losses are estimated to be more than two million.”

"Two million!?"

Anna felt dizzy and took two steps back before she could steady herself.

"If I...remember correctly, wasn't it just a year ago?"

Anna's voice was a little weak. Two million wizards were killed in just one year. When had the wizarding world ever suffered such a huge loss?

And the situation on the front line is so critical, then their teacher Qiao Luode...

Anna didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Unlike Richard, Joe Lord is like a father to Anna.

"That's the truth." Richard sighed slightly, "I'm lucky to be alive this time.

Well, since it is the decision of the parliament, I..."

"Richard!"

Anna suddenly rushed to Richard, tears even welling up in her eyes.

"Help the teacher. You have to rely on luck in this battlefield. The teacher cannot survive. You are a favorite in the eyes of the great wizard Garlon. You can definitely..."

"Sister, don't be so optimistic." Richard interrupted.

Looking at Anna with tears in her eyes, Richard said calmly: "A great wizard has already fallen in this war.

In the future, this kind of thing will become common.

Even great wizards are like this, do you think we little wizards can escape?"

"But...it's always better in the rear." Anna choked a little.

Richard was silent for a moment, then said softly, "I will. Qiao Luode is not only your teacher, he is also my teacher."

……

Richard felt a little heavy-hearted when he left the Tower of Truth. Although he had been mentally prepared for the sacrifice of his relatives and friends, if he had a choice, he would rather never have to use this mental preparation.

On the way, Richard got through to the acting president of the Richard Jorode Chamber of Commerce.

"Master President, the magic essence in your account has been counted, and the total is 35,720,530."

Hearing this astonishing number, Richard nodded slightly and replied: "Kayang, don't be so reserved. Just call me Richard."

After Joe Lord was recruited, he did not give the position of president to Chax or Anna, but handed it to Ka Yang, who was introduced to the Chamber of Commerce by Manager Cha.

After Richard had his bad luck curse removed, Khayon's luck began to turn for the better. He overcame difficulties in research that had troubled him for hundreds of years, and the business he took over also developed rapidly.

Khayon initially took over the potion business, and his main task was to negotiate business with the vice-president of the wizard academy and open the potion shop.

Thanks to his luck, it only took him ten years to open Richard's potion shop in every college in the four-ring Tower of Truth.

Among all these, what consumed his most time was traveling.

Kayang's strange luck was noticed by Qiaoluode, and the projection theater business jointly with the Fist of Truth Chamber of Commerce was also handed over to Kayang by Qiaoluode.

And now, projection theaters are expanding at an astonishing speed.

If nothing goes wrong, the projection theater will become one of the pillars of Richard Jorode's future.

This is also the reason why Qiao Luode gave the position of acting president to Ka Yang.

He believed that the Chamber of Commerce would definitely flourish in Kayan's hands.

"All right, President Richard. These are the magic essences you have. If you need anything, just let me know."

"I need a batch of materials. I'll send them to you later. If you can't find anything, go to the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce for cooperation. Just mention my name."

"Okay, I will."

After the call ended, Richard found Jimmy's number in the crystal ball. After hesitating for a moment, he called.

"Richard, you're looking for me right after you got back?"

After the communication was connected, Jimmy's weak voice was heard from the crystal ball.

"Master, is he injured?" Richard asked with concern.

"I was severely attacked by those bugs and my soul was nearly torn apart, so you'd better speak up quickly."

"I want to see the dean."

"...Okay, but the Civilization War is the military's territory, and the dean may not be able to help you."

"Thank you for the reminder, Master. I just want to have a clear conscience."

"Haha, good attitude."

After ending the communication, Richard turned into a stream of light and flew rapidly towards the Far North.

……

The Far North has changed a lot since the war began. The huge airship fleet has become more and more dense, and even some newly established White Wizard Academy does not have as many airships as the Far North City.

This change made Richard want to explore.

He landed on the outskirts of Far North City and walked into Far North City. On the way, he was surprised to find that there were so many wizard apprentices in Far North City that it was a bit scary.

"What's going on? When did there become so many wizard apprentices in Far North City? One out of every five people is a wizard apprentice."

The surge in the number of wizard apprentices left Richard a little confused.

Although these apprentices are basically entry-level apprentices who are not even low-level apprentices, becoming an apprentice has already put them out of the realm of ordinary mortals.

Although he had always intended to popularize wizard apprenticeships, due to his status, he had always kept this idea in the back of his mind.

And he hasn't been back for only a year, how could the wizard apprentice have changed so much?

With doubts, Richard came to the mayor's residence. In the residence, the mayor was scolding the chief police chief of Far North City.

"Hans, explain to me what you mean by impossible to solve the case!"

Ivan slammed the document in his hand onto the table, his face red as almost the same color as his rosacea.

Hans lowered his head and explained helplessly: "Sir, those wizard apprentices committed crimes. How can we mortals solve the cases? Even if we solve the cases, do we still have to put those wizard apprentices in jail?"

"Why not?"

A calm voice came from behind Hans.

Mayor Ivan saw Richard and immediately performed a wizard salute respectfully.

"Sir, you are back."

Richard walked to the mayor's seat naturally and sat down, then asked calmly, "What's going on with these apprentices?"

Hans came to the Chief Sheriff and replied respectfully: "Sir, about a year ago, the Wizard Academy began to recruit adult apprentices.

Those who passed the test received the meditation method distributed by the academy."

"Adult apprentice?" Richard's brows were twisted into a frown. He felt like he had not fought on the battlefield for a year, but rather had been lost in a foreign land for thousands of years and had just returned recently.

Otherwise, why would a wizard academy accept adult apprentices?

In order to become a wizard, an apprentice between the ages of ten and fifteen must possess ten points of mental power or more.

This is the threshold. Anyone who falls below this threshold will never become a wizard in his lifetime.

Ordinary wizard academies would rather not recruit enough students than hire a group of apprentices who are destined not to become wizards. But now, there are actually academies recruiting adult apprentices.

Did he travel to a parallel world?
"Yes, sir. According to these apprentices, this is an order personally issued by the great wizard Garlon."

"...Okay, I understand."

Richard stood up and opened the secret rift. Soon, a team of fire lizard warriors came out.

"You are the sheriff, right?" Richard pointed at Hans and said, "These salamanders of mine are now under your command. Far North City does not allow lawbreakers to be free."

The sheriff bowed with fear and trepidation and said, "Your will. The great Son Richard..."
