The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 631: Wizard Refining Technique

"What is wizard refining?" Ulises looked at Richard with some confusion, "I remember yours is not alchemy?"

"It's a long story." Richard casually opened a space crack, "In short, the art of refining is the alchemy technology of another civilization. But because of an accident in that civilization, this technology was distorted by a mysterious force.

I have obtained a lot of information about this technology in the fairyland, and I am currently determining the distortion range of this technology."

"If you're interested, come and have a look. Maybe you can help me out."

"Gah, let me take a look."

Following the rift into the goblin world, Richard flew straight to the floating city research institute. After a while, Richard arrived at the abyss wasteland where the research institute was located.

While Richard was on the expedition, the development of the goblin world did not fall behind. The floating city research institute had been expanded many times in the past 25 years, and the huge reinforced concrete building almost covered one-third of the abyss wasteland.

The largest expansion was the large-scale expansion of the "Wizard Alchemy" project based on Richard's request ten years ago.

In order to study the "Wizard Refining Technique", the Floating City Research Institute directly established a branch and mobilized a considerable number of researchers to conduct research.

After entering the institute, Richard quickly saw the director of the institute - Thiel.

Because of the pollution of the Abyss, Tyr missed the opportunity to compete with Franken for the position of Pope. After Franken came to power, Tyr was naturally excluded from the core circle of power. Over time, Tyr gave up his administrative position and came to the Floating City Research Institute to serve as deputy to his student Anson.

And the position of director of this weapon refining research institute naturally fell on him.

"I heard you have made some new progress?"

As soon as they met, Richard got straight to the point. Wizard refining was of great significance to Richard and even to the wizard civilization behind him, so he had to take every piece of news about it seriously.

"Yes, my Lord." Tyr bowed and said, "Thanks to the new equipment of the Fukong Chen Research Institute, our progress has been greatly accelerated. We have compiled a preliminary summary of wizard refining techniques, and it has passed experiments."

As he spoke, Thiel led Richard and Ulysses into the depths of the research institute.

The research institute was very large, and the walls of enchanted stone bricks divided the huge research institute into small spaces. In these rooms, some people wore Taoist robes and flipped through silk books like immortals. Some people were like watchmakers, carrying a magnifying glass and engraving Taoist texts on Taoist tools bit by bit. Some people simply danced in front of the furnace used for melting spirits, praying that the materials for their furnace would be successful.

"Gah, Richard, your researchers are all pretty... uh, talented."

Ulysses looked at the researchers who were acting crazy and struggled for a long time, but he couldn't find a suitable adjective.

Even those mysterious priests in the Gods Civilization are more like researchers than these guys.

At least they don't do anything weird when they're making stuff.

"Ulises, this is the Floating City Research Institute. It has the geniuses and talents of the entire goblin world. It's normal for these people to have some quirks or even look like freaks." Richard said calmly, "As long as they can produce results, even if they like to jump from the spot and spin two and a half times in the air before conducting research, and then prostrate themselves on the ground after landing, I will only say that they did a good job."

“…Your metaphor is really unique.”

Richard looked at Ulises without a trace of expression on his face.

"Do you think this is a metaphor?"

"Gah... isn't it?"

The man and the bird followed Tyr to a room underground with enchanted stone bricks, enchanted metal plates, and multiple layers of protection.

The room was divided into four parts. In the part that Richard entered, several researchers were testing Taoist instruments.

call out!
A researcher pointed at a target in the distance, and a silver light flew out from his sleeve, piercing the metal target accurately. It drew an elegant arc in the air and returned to his sleeve.

"My Lord, after sorting and counting, we have determined that any Dao Instrument with no more than 343 Dao Characters will not have the slightest distortion. Dao Instruments with between 343 and 2401 Dao Characters will have a certain degree of distortion, but for the vast majority of Dao Instruments, this distortion is harmless.

However, when the number of Dao characters exceeds 2401, the degree of distortion of the Dao weapon will suddenly increase, and the intensity will be several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times that of the previous stage.

The more Taoist characters engraved on a Taoist weapon, the greater the degree of distortion.

When the number of Dao characters exceeds 117649, the Dao character system will be completely paralyzed."

Richard nodded slightly. "Every time the number of Daowen increases sevenfold, the degree of distortion will change. Not bad. Are there any other developments?"

Taier nodded slightly: "Yes, otherwise we would not report to you."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and a researcher walked out of another room. But when Richard saw him again, he frowned slightly.

"Priest? I remember that researchers can't become priests, right?"

In front of him, the researcher who came out was wearing the same black robe as him, holding a wooden staff in his hand, and was dressed in the most typical style of a priest of the Order of Miracles.

But when he founded the Floating City Research Institute, he set a rule in the institute, that is, researchers and priests cannot be co-existent. If you become a researcher, you need to give up your priest identity and all identities within the church. This rule itself is for him to enter research in the future, not to manage the affairs of the church for decades or hundreds of years, to prevent laymen from managing experts within the church, and administrative management research.

The priest gave Richard a church salute: "My Lord, I am not a researcher, I was just invited to cooperate with the research."

Richard looked at Tyr and said, "You want the priests to cooperate with your research? Are you trying to incorporate divine arts into the art of refining weapons?"

Tyr smiled and nodded: "You are right, I did add divine arts to the process of refining the weapon."

As he said that, he took Richard into the room that the priest had left. The room was very simple, with only an engraving table for engraving the text and a chair for the engraver to rest. But Richard noticed that there was a magic circle under his feet.

"My Lord, you told us that the essence of the distortion of Taoism is actually the influence of mysterious power, that is, the curse. So we thought, since it is the curse that affects the Taoism system, if we remove the curse, won't the Taoism system be able to operate normally?"

Richard narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully, "So you thought of using divine magic to dispel the curse and restore the Tao system to normal."

Taier nodded slightly: "You are right, but we will go a little deeper than what you said."

After that, Tyr took out a stone plate engraved with runes from his pocket. On the stone plate, Richard actually felt the fluctuation of divine magic.

On Richard's shoulder, Ulisse's eyes suddenly widened when he saw the stone plate.

"Gah! Prayer Talisman?! Did I teach you that, Richard?"

Richard shook his head slightly: "No, is this technology important?"

"Important, of course it's important. This thing is equipped by the believer legion. Low-level ones are just amulets, but high-level ones are artifacts. I really didn't teach you this thing?"

"I'm sure you didn't teach me that."

Richard looked at Tyr and asked, "Did you make this?"

Tyr shook his head slightly and made an introduction gesture to the priest beside him: "We definitely can't make something like this. The person who invented it is this priest Martin."

Richard looked at the somewhat uneasy priest beside him. The priest was not very tall, and his left arm was a mechanical prosthesis. It was obvious at first glance that he was a priest from the Abyss War or even earlier.

"How deeply have you studied it?" Richard tried to keep his tone as calm as possible. For talents, Richard never minded spending a little more time on them.

"I, I, I... I have studied a lot. I can make all the low-level magic into amulets."

I don’t know if it was natural or if he was too nervous, but Martin stuttered when he spoke and his face turned a dark green.

"Don't be nervous. Your research is very good. Very good. Have you studied higher-level divine arts?"

Martin was so moved that he was speechless when he heard Richard's praise. After hearing Richard's question, he stuttered for a long time before he could speak.

"I have studied it. But my rank is not high, and I don't know many divine arts, so I haven't achieved any results yet."

Richard nodded slightly and patted Martin's shoulder gently.

"It's okay. You made a great product. Go back and prepare it today. I will crown you a cardinal in a few days."

"Ah! This, this, this..."

Martin was shocked by the news and almost fainted. The huge joy was like a heavy hammer that hit him hard on the head. He even doubted whether he was dreaming.

I just made a little gadget, how can I become a cardinal?

Not only him, but also Tyr beside him was shocked by Richard's decision.

As long as he is not an unlucky guy like him, the cardinal is absolutely second to none in the Order of Miracles, second only to the Pope and the Holy Spirit.

"You deserve this." Richard patted Martin's shoulder again. "What you found is of great significance. Go back and prepare well today. After the coronation, I will ask Franken to assign a group of people to assist you in studying this... Have you named this thing?"

Richard was about to use the name Prayer Amulet, but he suddenly remembered that Martin had discovered this thing himself, so he should have the right to name it.

"Not yet. I always call him Amulet." Martin shook his head, and then his brain, which was hit hard by joy, finally made a wise decision.

"My Lord, since you are here, you should choose its name."

"Shall I get it?"

Richard looked at the stone plate and said in some confusion, "It's a bit troublesome for me to name it. I'm not good at naming... Well, I'll just continue to call it the Prayer Amulet."

Hearing the name, Martin bowed respectfully to Richard and said:
"Thank you for the name. Its name from now on will be the Prayer Amulet."
