The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 747: Furnace Man, Three Great Civilizations

The City of Eternal Truth was still busy, with groups of wizards shuttling back and forth in the city. The entire floating city looked like a cold metal honeycomb.

After entering, under the guidance of the goblins summoned by the working wizard, Richard successfully found the Hearth Man Archives Room hidden in countless rooms.

In the City of Eternal Truth, where every inch of land is valuable, the archives about the Furnace Man and other previous civilizations are enough to fill a small library.

In this archive room, many relics of previous civilizations are displayed.

From the Forerunner's crystal floater, to the broken sword fragments that are as long as a person, to the furnace that is broken but still shows its exquisite workmanship.

Most of these relics are of no use, but their existence itself is valuable enough.

Wandering among the bookshelves, I found a book introducing ancient civilizations.

Among the wizards’ archaeological discoveries, there are many previous civilizations. Judging from the archaeological discoveries in various worlds, before humans became wizards, this world community had experienced several reincarnations of life.

These civilizations are collectively referred to as previous civilizations by wizards.

However, since the previous civilizations are too ancient to have much research value, the wizards' research focus has always been on the wizards' previous generation civilization, which is a collection of civilizations known as previous civilizations.

According to archaeological data, the previous civilization was a very prosperous period.

Just from the wizards' archaeological discoveries, there were seven or eight of them in previous civilizations.

Among them, wizards have discovered the most ruins of the Lost Civilization, which is called the Furnace People by wizards, followed by the Titan civilization.

The relics of the remaining civilizations are extremely scarce, and what remains are of little research value.

However, as mentioned above, their existence is the greatest value.

The appearance of these ruins brought a huge question to the wizards - many of the remains of these civilizations were discovered in the same world, and there was almost no age difference between them.

To wizards, this is simply incredible.

Civilization is exclusive, at least as far as the civilization that wizards have currently come into contact with is concerned, there is no problem with this.

But based on this point, there are only two explanations for this situation.

One explanation is that the star world at that time was in chaos, and it was normal for a world to change hands repeatedly. Another explanation is that the civilization at that time was forced to form an alliance by external forces.

"War Quagmire, War Alliance...these two sound like they are things from the early and late stages."

Richard closed the book in his hand and put it back in place with his magic hand. Then he took out a magic book about the furnace man from the bookshelf beside him.

Due to the problem of unearthing civilization relics, the wizards of the previous civilization only knew the most about the three major civilizations. Among them, the furnace people were the civilization that wizards knew the most about because of the number of relics and the problem of the remaining ethnic groups.

The reason why the Lu people are called Lu people is because their culture is full of the element of melting pot.

The most common mural in the furnace-man building is a group of furnace-men kneeling around a huge furnace.

The melting pot is their belief. They believe that the world is the raw material of a huge melting pot. Sooner or later, the world will be melted and everything will be integrated.

According to current discoveries, the Hearth People are a humanoid race.

If the individuals of their remaining population had not degenerated, their average height should be around 1.5 meters.

The Furnace People follow a dual evolution path. Among them, those who have evolved spiritually are called Furnace Apostles, while those who have evolved physically are called Furnace Craftsmen.

This is a group of people who are good at art. Their relics are usually a magnificent complex of buildings, which are connected to the earth veins and blend into the environment, and look like they evolved naturally.

These characteristics made the wizard who discovered the Hearth Man almost regard it as the ancestor of the magic dwarves.

The reason for the destruction of the Hearth People civilization is unknown. When the wizards discovered them, these creatures had turned into wild beasts with only instincts.

They wander in groups around the magnificent buildings built by their ancestors, allowing green ivy mold to erode these masterpieces of art.

Wizards have tried to tame these creatures and enlighten their wisdom, but all experiments have ended in failure, with no results in either taming or enlightening.

Some wizards tried to integrate the blood of this ethnic group, but the moment it was integrated into the blood, it was burned to ashes by an unexpected fire.

A great wizard from the curse school believed that the cause of the destruction of the Hearthman civilization should be some kind of curse virus that could be inherited through blood.

This cursed virus made the blood of the Lu people unable to fuse, causing the Lu people, a race with a glorious civilization, to become beasts forever.

"…Another mystery."

Richard rubbed his brows. The mystery of the forerunners' demise had not been solved yet, and now another furnace man popped up.

Beyond them, there is a destroyed Titan civilization and a group of unknown civilizations.

Richard felt that the world was a huge maze.

No matter wizards, galactic mayflies, gods or demons from the abyss, they are all unlucky people trapped in this maze.

If they cannot find a way out of this maze, they will definitely be devoured by the monsters in the maze and become the predecessor civilization in the eyes of some future civilization.

Richard continued reading and found records about the Supreme Furnace Fire mentioned by the Emperor Mayfly among many books.

Due to the worship of the furnace, the furnace man's home world has a supreme furnace placed on the top of the mountains.

This furnace is the cultural heritage of the furnace man. It is said that its flames burn everything, even the virtual dimension. If the records are not exaggerated, the furnace man even used the supreme furnace fire to burn the star master of another dimension to death, and burned the virtual dimension where he was born into ashes.

At the end of the article, Richard saw a sticky note left by the author - in order to avoid misinterpretation, the magic books in this archive are all the author's originals, and sticky notes are very common.

The note said that according to the latest archaeological data, there is a legend among the Lu people.

Legend has it that after the death of every furnace man, his soul will enter the Supreme Furnace and add fuel to its endless fire.

We all know that legends are truth in disguise. Perhaps the reason why the Furnace Man lost his wisdom is related to the disappearance of the Supreme Furnace.

"That's right." Richard closed the book and muttered to himself.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Miracle Furnace should be the supreme furnace of the furnace man. But the solution of one mystery brings him more mysteries.

Why did the Furnace Man's Supreme Furnace disappear, and why did he take control of it?

This terrifying thing is enough to burn an entire dimension. Even a truth wizard may not be able to control a powerful celestial master.

"Fate again?"

Richard could feel that there was definitely something hidden behind the Miracle Furnace.

He still remembered the reminder that the Miracle Crucible had given him.

[My heir whom I have never met, congratulations on finally taking the first step. 】

[But you need to remember that all gifts from fate are secretly marked with a price. ]

He has already accepted the gift, and perhaps, he is now on the road to repaying the price.

"Oh, it's a headache."

Richard put the magic book back on the bookshelf with a worried look on his face.

In the past, he could still say that if the sky fell, there would be a tall man to hold it up, but now he has embarked on the path to truth and has become the tall man who holds up the sky.

When faced with these problems again, he could no longer return to his relaxed state of mind of the past.

"Forerunners, Hearthmen, Titans, and all those other civilizations. What on earth did you encounter?
Why is there no record of destruction at all?"

With sorrow in his heart, Richard continued to walk in the archive room, writing down all the research on previous civilizations.

Although I don’t know if these are useful, it always helps to know more.

As he was flipping through the book, a throbbing in his soul gave him a sudden shock -

The Miracle Crucible was giving him hints.

Richard looked around and saw a display cabinet on his left.

In the static position of the display case, there is a one-meter square metal cube covered with patterns.

According to the introduction in the display case, this block of metal is speculated to be the product of cooperation between Furnace Man and Titan.

Because the metal pattern on it is a typical furnace man style, but judging from the shape and size of the metal block, as well as the energy circuit inside, this thing is surprisingly large.

However, this statement is not certain, and there are other explanations that equally perfectly explain the characteristics of this metal block.

Since the Miracle Furnace had given the reminder, Richard naturally couldn't let it go.

Although this thing was an exhibit, he only had to pay a fine for playing with it. Although his military merits had not yet been collected, the remaining military merits were enough for him to pay the fine.

He stretched out his hand and entered the static force field. To a three-ring wizard, it was like a solid wall of steel, but to Richard, it was no different from air.

The moment the finger touched the metal block, a message came from the Miracle Furnace.

[Raw materials: Fire information storage device]

[Information that can be extracted: Dimension 2456 coordinates, Doomsday Spark Base coordinates]

[Refining consumption: 200 mental power]

[Information that can be extracted: Design drawing of fire information storage device]

[Refining consumption: 100 mental power]

Looking at the information given by the Miracle Furnace, Richard's heart was shocked.

Doomsday Spark Base?

Could it be that the Titan civilization, or the Hearthman civilization, still has fire surviving in another dimension?

But Richard soon realized that this was impossible.

If the sparks of these two civilizations still survive in another dimension, the current world community would definitely not be in its current form.

For a civilization, as long as the fire is preserved, rekindling it is not a big problem.

And now the world's communities are full of new civilizations, which means that there is absolutely no fire left, or something has happened to the fire they left behind.

Without hesitation, Richard immediately chose to refine.

Because a shrill alarm sounded in the archives room.

buzzing...

Amid the alarm, a working wizard in a white robe came to the archive room.

He looked at Richard, his expression serious but with a hint of nervousness.

"Sir, you have violated the archives reading regulations, and I must ask you to leave now.

You will not be allowed access to the records room until you pay your fine.”

Richard smiled and put the refined fire information storage device back to its original place.

"No problem, where can I pay the fine?"
