The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 553 The war is about to begin
On the smooth asphalt road, a carriage covered with smelly flesh and blood sped past.

The carriage was a four-horse carriage, and although the carriage was covered with rotten meat and blackened blood, its luxurious decoration could still be seen.

In the carriage driver's seat, the third-level attendant who had climbed the mountain with Franken was driving. But compared to the state when he met Richard, his current state was undoubtedly terrible -

His body was covered with wounds, ranging from knife wounds to claw marks, as if he had been through a meat grinder. What was even more terrible was that most of these wounds were covered with dark red scar tissue, which connected together like a dark red flesh and blood garment.

This layer of flesh and blood was now eroding the driver's body. It was eroding and transforming his muscles, and eroding his organs along with his blood. If nothing unexpected happened, it wouldn't be long before he became a Lesser Demon of the Abyss.

Inside the carriage, the noble Aoli, wearing crystal armor, was operating a crystal communicator.

Although the Flesh and Blood Court did not lay out a crystal communication system on a large scale like the Mechanical Court, this carriage, which served as the Patriarch's vehicle, was made by Bishop Tyr of the Mechanical Court.

When Tyr got this carriage, he installed a portable crystal signal transmitter in it, thus ensuring that as long as there was a crystal signal tower within a hundred kilometers of the Patriarch, crystal communication could be carried out.

The crystal communicator was large and looked like an old-fashioned walkie-talkie, with a buzzing sound coming from its receiver.

Suddenly, the crackling sound disappeared, and an old but confident voice came from the receiver.

"Ollie, what's going on?"

Hearing Franken's voice, Oli breathed a sigh of relief, and an endless feeling of fatigue instantly flooded her brain.

But it was not time to go to bed yet, so Oli forced herself to stay awake. While her eyelids were fluttering, she conveyed all the news from the royal court.

"My lord... the royal court has fallen. The God King failed to resist the erosion of the abyss, and almost all the nobles... were infected and devoured by him."

Ollie's voice became softer and softer. In order to fight her way out of the royal court, she had fought for a day and two nights without sleep. The intensive use of the ancient heritage had almost drained her mental strength.

"Okay, I get it. How's Dees?"

"...I'm not sure...but not yet..."

Looking at the communicator that had been silent for a long time, Franken, the Patriarch of the Church of the Lord of Flesh and Blood and the Archbishop of the Flesh and Blood Court branch of the Order of Miracles, silently turned it off.

He then pulled a scroll from his pocket and opened a rift to a secret realm.

……

The days are becoming more and more promising.

Wally thought as he looked at the steel ladle that was pouring molten iron.

The hot molten iron is poured into the mold and turned into castings. After cooling, Vali's co-workers drive the machines to move the castings to the processing workshop to be used as raw materials for making slabs, and the cycle repeats.

In the past, this kind of life was gloomy, numb and lifeless. But now everything has changed.

"Let's go Wally, there's beef soup in the cafeteria today, but if you go too late it will be gone."

A co-worker's greeting awakens Wally from his daze, and the melodious sound of bells in the distance enters his ears over the noisy noise of the smelter.

It's twelve o'clock, time to eat.

Taking out his rice bowl from the corner, Wally walked quickly towards his co-worker who was calling him.

Beef soup is a good thing. Before, he could not eat it once a year. Although he can eat it once a week now, it does not stop many workers from rushing to drink it like starving ghosts.

When we arrived at the cafeteria, there were a lot of people inside, and the long line in front of the beef soup window stretched around two corners.

Looking at such a long line, Wali's co-worker complained: "Damn, these animals are like they have never had beef soup in their lives. We have to queue up in such a long line later."

However, despite their complaints, the two still joined the team without hesitation.

According to experience, they should be able to get beef soup from their current location.

After waiting in line for half an hour, the line finally reached Wally. After handing the meal ticket to the ticket collector, the chef wearing a white chef's hat immediately waved a large iron spoon, scooped a spoonful of beef soup from a pot big enough to stew a cow, and put it into Wally's rice bowl.

Smelling the rich meaty aroma, Wally's appetite was aroused.

"Hey, these days are becoming more and more promising."

The soup alone was not enough to satisfy the afternoon consumption, so next to the beef soup window there was a window selling pancakes. After getting two more pancakes, Wali and his co-workers found a seat to sit down.

However, the two did not start eating immediately. After finding a seat, they put the rice bowls on the table and began to pray devoutly.

"Thank you, Lord, for the broth."

"Thank God for giving us oil cakes."

They are all members of the Order of Miracles, believers of the Lord of Miracles. Among the workers, ten out of ten are members of the Order of Miracles.

Although the gods would not make soup or fried cakes for them, if it were not for the gods, these soups and fried cakes would not appear in front of them at all.

Those factory owners would rather build a hundred uninhabited estates than add a grain of meat to their meals.

But with the gods and the monks blessed by the gods, everything changed.

Their old houses have been rebuilt, their wages are increasing, their working environment is improving, and they have more beef soup and fried cakes in their meals. Thank God.

The factory owners who made their livings out of their blood and sweat were all inspired by God, ended their lives in tears, and handed over their property to the church.

Praise our Lord.

All the bullies who bullied them were brought to justice by the monks and hanged in front of the gates of various factories.

May the glory of our Lord be forever!
A subtle but pure force of faith emerged from Wally, from Wally's co-workers, from the bodies of many canteen workers, and from the bodies of billions of workers in the Mechanical Court and the Flesh and Blood Court.

Billions of essences of faith turned into a big river, continuously gathering into a dimension called Gods in the endless dimension.

Countless powers of faith transformed into an amorphous statue, and the moment it took shape, a new god would be born.

……

"So unlucky?"

After listening to Franken's report, Ulises spoke first.

"What's going on?" Richard asked, tilting his head. "Why did the Lord of this World devour the nobles of the Royal Court after being corrupted?"

He also planned to wait until the situation worsened, then absorb all the nobles and take the opportunity to steal the Forerunner relics from them.

"There are many types of transformation in the abyss, and this is one of them." Ulises explained, "This type of transformation is what we call spider web transformation. When the infection gets out of control, the infected will involuntarily transform and devour all the life around them. Those who are devoured don't matter, but those who are transformed will become the companion race of the transformed.

The birth of a new demon race will bring about the blessing of the abyss. And the blessing will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the infected."

Richard frowned when he heard this: "You should have told us earlier. If you had told us earlier, we might have been able to get those nobles..."

"Sir, no." Franken suddenly said, "You have never dealt with those arrogant guys. Each of them has a mysterious self-confidence. Even if you tell them about this situation, they will just arrogantly say that they know it and then continue their dance.

Of course, if you are willing to sacrifice your looks, you may be able to take some people with you."

Richard frowned deeply: "What do you mean by sacrificing your appearance?"

"Your Excellency, you are very beautiful. Although not green enough, the nobles here are very extravagant and don't care about this..."

"Okay, stop talking." Richard interrupted with a dark face.

Asking him to sacrifice his looks to seduce a bunch of aliens? It would be better to kill him.

On the other side, Ulises said innocently, "The probability of spider web transformation is very low, so low that it can be almost ignored. We have been fighting for two thousand years, and spider web transformation has only occurred twice. God knows why we are so unlucky this time."

"Is there any way to deal with it?" Richard said helplessly.

"Yes, but it's a bit unethical."

"Hmm?" Richard looked at Ulises in confusion, "Do you think I care about morality at a time like this?"

"The solution is to let the world master of the Mechanical King's Court die. After his death, the world will be forced to bless us with the origin. In this way, the blessing of the abyss will be offset."

"That's what we'll do," Richard said without hesitation.

Ulises looked at Richard in surprise. "You made the decision so decisively? In fact, if we cooperate with those world masters, it is possible to kill the Abyss Infected directly."

"But will this be good for us?" Richard asked.

"The probability is that there is none, but there is a small probability of getting one from God."

"Then why didn't I let that guy die? Ulises, I have no friendship with that guy."

"But doing so will kill a lot of goblins."

Richard was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "...This is a necessary sacrifice."

Franken, who was standing by, watched the man and the bird communicating in wizard language and keenly noticed a slight change in the atmosphere.

He could tell that the wise man seemed to have made a decision, and this decision seemed to have shaken him.

"Richard, your decision must be true to your heart." Ulises looked into Richard's eyes and said slowly, "At the moment your soul leaps, your consciousness will enter a world of illusion.

In that world, the guilt and resentment in your heart will become your stumbling blocks. You must have an unshakable will to cross this boundary.

This is the path that all world masters must take.”

"That captain too?"

"How do you think a person who is not even a first-level creature could accomplish such a feat?"

Richard was silent for a long time. Finally, he said calmly again: "I say, this is a necessary evil."
