The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 530 Crystal Technology
The underground part of the church is not much smaller than the above-ground part. In addition to the boiler that symbolizes the power of the God of All Machines, the underground part of the church has many other uses.

In this world, the two churches are not obstacles to progress, but pioneers who lead the goblin race on the road of evolution. In addition to preaching, the priests of the two churches also have to study the wisdom of the God of All Things, that is, each of these priests is a researcher.

Using the terminology of this world, these priests are all mechanical scholars who surpass mechanics.

Therefore, almost all underground parts of the Church of the God of All Things have laboratories dedicated to the priests.

The bright gas lamps illuminate the entire laboratory. Contrary to some stereotypes, this laboratory involving human body research and flesh and blood transformation is not a dark and evil place.

On the contrary, this kind of place that requires delicate surgery requires a very bright environment.

In the center of the laboratory was a metal operating table, and above it was an extremely complex mechanical structure. Richard used his mental power to peek inside the mechanical structure and discovered that it was actually a mechanical arm.

Looking at the position of the joystick, Richard suddenly had a strange idea.

This robotic arm is for people lying on the operating table.

"Performing surgery on themselves, these priests are really ruthless people." Richard said with a little shock.

Although wizards can also perform surgery on themselves, they use their souls to control the equipment, or simply use their clones. However, these goblins directly use their bodies to control the mechanical arms to perform surgery on themselves.

This is also a wild thing among wizards.

At the innermost part of the laboratory there is a workbench, and next to it is something similar to a machine tool - without the assistance of alchemy, it is almost impossible to use the materials without damage.

But when Richard saw the machine tool, he suddenly felt it looked familiar. He opened the crack in the secret realm and searched around in his own secret realm.

Soon, he found a crystal machine tool that he had obtained from the Star Fortress.

Comparing this machine tool with the one in the laboratory, although the one in the laboratory is very simple, one can see a strong imitation flavor.

"It looks like it didn't drift too far. The way back shouldn't be long."

Richard's voice was filled with joy. If this world also had the legacy of the Forerunners, it meant that he was still within the sphere of influence of the Forerunners.

Although it is unknown how far it is from the wizard civilization, at least it is not as far away as Ulysses who was stranded in the wizarding world. There is a civilization in between.

Putting the machine tool aside, Richard looked through the entire laboratory. In the process, he found a lot of mechanical design drawings. These design drawings were completely different from steam machinery and were very precise and sophisticated.

In these design drawings, there are often one or two crystals as the central structure or energy conversion structure. After taking out those crystals, Richard became more convinced of his idea.

The natives of this world have indeed inherited a certain degree of the Forerunner legacy.

His journey home was not far.

"But even though they inherited the legacy of the forerunners, these goblins have also developed some of their own things."

Li looked at the design drawing in his hand. This design drawing made very ingenious use of the crystal structure, greatly reducing the complexity of the metal prosthesis.

Complexity is a neutral word for any machine, and the meaning of complexity varies in different places. But there is no doubt that a very complex precision machine is not suitable for use as a conventional weapon.

Especially metal prosthetic limbs, which are weapons that can be used in close combat.

And these crystals should be the results of the goblins' own research.

After recording the design with the crystal ball, Richard restored the laboratory to its original state and left the church quietly.

Bruno is a large city with complete supporting facilities. From hospitals to schools, any public facilities a resident needs can be found here.

Richard spent a day touring the city and picked up two anatomical atlases.

Mechanics and transformation doctors are popular professions in this world regardless of the kingdom. Therefore, books about machinery and biology can be easily obtained in this world.

At least that's how it was for Richard.

With his own gains, Richard entered the secret realm in Ben's small room.

In the secret realm, the priest who was knocked unconscious by Richard has regained consciousness. He is now shocked by the beauty of this world and the power of the creatures living in this world.

In Richard's secret realm, even the most basic fire lizard workers have the strength of a first-level creature. And due to the existence of the essence of mayflies, the strength of these fire lizard workers has been steadily improving.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will all become level three creatures in the end.

In Richard's plan, his secret realm is like a university, responsible for researching technology and training talents.

Salamanders are a race with great potential. The existence of dragon alchemy and dragon blood gives this race huge room for improvement in both technology and combat effectiveness.

When Richard becomes a great wizard, these fire lizards will become his vassal race and join him in conquering other worlds.

Seeing Richard appear, the priest suddenly became alert.

Although his prosthetic limbs were disabled at this moment, he still took a posture ready to attack. But to Richard, this was no different from the cuteness of a pet hamster. When the priest saw Richard walking towards him nonchalantly, his two prosthetic limbs immediately made a loud noise.

Two flying arrows arrived in front of Richard in an instant.

Then they were bounced off.

In front of Richard's extraordinary body, the priest's attack was no different from a tickle. The arrow that was powerful enough to penetrate steel was no different from ordinary dust in front of Richard's skin.

"High-pressure steam arrows. A very practical design."

Richard came to the priest, grabbed the backpack on his back and threw him onto the operating table. The priest's struggle was useless to Richard.

"Whose noble family are you from? I am the bishop of Bruno City. You have no right to attack me!"

Richard took out a tube of anesthetic from his pocket and glanced sideways at the goblin who had been clamoring.

"Stop yelling. I don't understand what you are saying. If you must yell again, wait until I finish studying you. Now, you'd better pray that your Lord of All Machines will protect you from dying in the next study."

After saying that, Richard injected the anesthetic into the priest's body.

Three seconds later, the priest made no more sound and fell silently to the ground.

"The world is finally quiet." Richard said with relief.

"It seems that these years in the secret realm have had a great impact on you."

Ulises' voice sounded from Richard's shoulder. Richard tilted his head and asked, "Influence? What influence?"

"Haven't you noticed? You are now very tolerant of these aliens. The days of exile before made you more tolerant of these lives."

"Really?" Richard was stunned for a moment, "I really didn't notice that. I remember that I was quite tolerant of aliens before."

"Would you have let this goblin keep yelling before?"

"...No, okay, I have indeed been changed a little."

After thinking about it, Richard had to admit what Ulises said. The days of drifting had changed his heart. Perhaps he subconsciously realized that if he failed to complete the ascension ceremony, this world would become his second home.

Ulises continued, "This is not a bad change. Gods should always be broad-minded. A petty-minded god will never achieve anything in his life.

But you have to understand that tolerance is not weakness."

"Am I weak?" Richard fixed the priest on the operating table and casually cut open his abdominal cavity.

Ulises' tone became somewhat helpless: "As of now, no. Tell me when you make the move next time. I'm not a vulture and I don't like to see these things."

"Hahaha, I'll definitely do it next time."

……

"Bishop Orson mysteriously disappears," this is the front-page headline of today's Bruno City Daily.

After a month of investigation, the Bruno Police Department and the Bruno branch of the Church of All Things confirmed the disappearance of Bishop Orson.

As the regional bishop of the Church of the God of All Things, Bishop Orson's disappearance in the upper circles of Bruno City caused a huge wave.

As everyone knows, Bishop Oss, as a student of Cardinal Tyre, will definitely take over his teacher's position and become a member of the College of Cardinals in the future. But now, this powerful man in the future has disappeared in the church of the Lord of All Things, right under the nose of the Lord of All Things.

This is no longer an ordinary disappearance, we must take strong measures!
The headquarters of the Church of the Lord of All Machines reacted strongly to this incident and a notice was issued on the same day.

The Church of All Things will send a team of knights to investigate the matter.

The disappearance of a regional bishop actually led to the dispatch of knights to defend the religion, which made many high-ranking officials in Bruno realize once again the power of Bishop Tyre.

Although the Church of the Lord of All Machines and the Royal Court share the same leader, even the low-level mechanics know that the Royal Court and the Church have always been at odds.

The royal court nobles were die-hard royalists, but although the Church of the Lord of All Things had named the Eternal God King as a living god, in its canon, the Lord of Perfection still occupied the position of God above God.

This also exists in the Church of the Lord of Flesh and Blood.

Legend has it that in the original scriptures of the two churches, the Perfect Lord did not completely fall as he did now. The two sons of God were only acting as God temporarily, waiting for the Perfect Lord to return again.

But after a long period of evolution, the original scriptures have disappeared, and in the current scriptures the Lord of Perfection has completely fallen, and the two sons of God are the new gods.

And now, the royal court had no reaction to the Church of All Things sending out its Knights to investigate the disappearance of a regional bishop.

At the same time, in the East City of Bruno, a religion called the Order of Miracles is spreading among mechanics and workers.
