The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 72 Wizards Chamber of Commerce Plan (Subscription Request)
As reason took over, Qiaoluode's emotions also calmed down.

"Richard, what is the principle of your... machine?"

As a wizard, and an alchemist at that, the machine in front of him was like a stunning beauty posing and flirting, making the old pervert Joe Lord feel itchy.

"Ahem, teacher, this is a bit against the rules." Richard said in a low voice.

Qiao Luode's old face flushed and he reacted immediately.

Knowledge needs to be exchanged for equal value, which is an iron rule in the wizarding world. But when Joe Lord thought about his collection, it seemed that nothing could compare to the machine in front of him.

"This……"

Qiao Luode was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. If he didn't unravel the secret of the machine in front of him, he would never sleep peacefully for the rest of his life.

"Well, teacher, I have a suggestion, how about you listen to it?"

"You say." Joe Lord suddenly locked his eyes on Richard, his burning gaze seemed to penetrate Richard.

"It's like this, teacher. I plan to use this technology to open a wizard chamber of commerce. I will invest my technology and you will invest your capital. How about we split the profits 70% to 30%?" Richard asked tentatively.

In fact, Richard had this plan in mind after confirming that the potion could be mass-produced.

Selling potions in just one college was a bit of an overkill for his skills.

"Okay, I agree!" Qiao Luode agreed without saying a word, and then he disappeared in the room. Less than a minute later, he came back with a black scroll in his hand.

"This is a soul contract produced by the Tower of Truth. Even great wizards must abide by the terms of the contract."

As Qiao Luode spoke, he wrote down the contents including profit sharing, information confidentiality, breach of contract cost, etc. on the soul contract, looking very skilled.

"Please read the contract once and sign it if there is no problem."

Richard took the contract and read it carefully from beginning to end.

Although it wasn't that he didn't trust Qiao Luode, it was that he had never seen such a complete formal contract and took the opportunity to learn how to write it.

After all, this is also a kind of knowledge.

Confirming that everything was correct, Richard signed the contract.

As the contract turned to ashes, an invisible force fell upon the two.

At this moment, Richard and Joe Lord not only have a master-disciple relationship, but also a more firm interest relationship.

"Now you can tell me the principle." Joe Lord looked at Richard hotly.

"no problem."

Richard came to the machine and quickly removed the outer shell, revealing the mechanism inside.

"This is the discharge port, this is the medicine cauldron, and this is the stable magic input device..." Richard introduced each part of the machine to Joe Lord. "The principle of this machine's ability to stably produce potions is nothing magical. It's just that I discovered that when making potions, once the magic value of each step of the potion reaches a certain standard, the potion can be stably produced."

"It's that simple?"

Joe Lord looked at Richard in disbelief. He couldn't believe that the principle of this almost miraculous thing in front of him was so simple.

He just needed to spend a little more time once he had finalized the potion's formula to do so.

Richard handed his exact recipe to Joe Lord, who felt dizzy after reading it.

“Hahaha…it turns out to be like this.”

Qiao Luode suddenly burst into laughter and laughed so hard that tears were about to come out.

"The principle is so simple! Those old guys spent so much time pondering and finally came up with the answer of using soul slaves to make potions. Hahahaha..."

Richard heard a hint of a question in this.

"What do you mean, teacher?"

Joe Lord calmed down and explained to Richard:

"Richard, I guess your invention is not original. At least thousands of years ago, the Magic Potion Merchants of the Tower of Truth discovered this secret. But they protected this secret too well.

So much so that unless you're a genius who discovers it yourself, no one knows how they did it.

Before this, I and a few friends from the alchemy school wanted to explore this secret. After studying it for hundreds of years, we came to the conclusion that a potion shop kept a group of smart potion slaves. "

As he said this, Qiao Luode couldn't help laughing again.

"It's not the first of its kind..." Richard touched his chin, and a surprising idea popped up in his mind.

"Teacher, I have a question for you."

"You said."

Richard sorted out his thoughts and said, "Teacher, is what you are studying very profound? I mean, it is the kind of extremely complex and difficult for many wizards to solve."

Joe Lord was stunned for a moment, "Of course not, many wizards are studying the same thing as me."

"Then..." Richard hesitated, "Is it possible that what you are studying, teacher, has already been discovered by a wizard you don't know?"

"…It is indeed possible, or a wizard must have figured it out."

Joe Lord looked at Richard. What shocking thing had his student come up with?

"That's right."

Richard seemed to have solved a mystery, and he was refreshed.

"What did you think of?" Qiao Luode asked curiously.

"Nothing." Richard shook his head and left the room with Joe Lord.

Just now, Richard finally confirmed one thing.

The vast majority of wizards in the wizarding world are reinventing the wheel.

The so-called reinventing the wheel refers to wizards repeating the same research over and over again. In fact, this situation also happened from time to time in Richard's previous life. However, due to information transmission and technological exchanges, this phenomenon generally only occurs in technological confrontations between countries.

But in the wizarding world, due to the wizards' insane protection of knowledge, technological exchanges in the entire wizarding world are actually extremely limited.

If a wizard wants to study a subject, he needs to start exploring even the basics of that subject.

Yes, start exploring, not starting learning.

Wizards have extremely long lifespans. A first-ring wizard can live up to a thousand years, and a third-ring wizard can live up to ten thousand years. When it comes to great wizards, the basic unit of wizard lifespan will be changed to epochs, that is, ten thousand years.

With such a long lifespan, the theoretical development level of the wizarding world should be far beyond its current state.

But this is what the wizarding world has become.

Richard had not understood this before, but today he found the answer.

If wizards needed to start from scratch to explore a certain aspect of knowledge, it would be possible that the wizarding world is what it is today.

Because a subject cannot be completed by just one person, it often requires many people to perfect it with different perspectives.

Moreover, a person's perspective is fixed, and as they get older, this fixedness becomes more and more serious.

Just like Joe Lord, an alchemist wizard who has lived for thousands of years, he still can't figure out the knowledge of mass production of potions.

If knowledge is not exchanged, many technologies will not be circulated, which means that many technologies will only be limited to a certain wizard or a certain academy.

And this problem is almost unsolvable. In this world where knowledge can be transformed into power, people want to share knowledge with others while they reap the benefits.

"But this is also a good thing." Richard muttered to himself, "My idea is not so shocking. The wizarding world is so big, there will always be smart people appearing."

"From now on, you can do some things with confidence."
