Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 119 Seeking development
Afterwards, Errant briefly introduced some good tasks to Roy, such as assisting the teacher in refining a golem.

If you happen to be a new wizard with alchemical talent, you can apply to live in the castle and do this.

Roy was quite interested in this and felt that this might be a good place to display his expertise.

"[Journeyman] plus [Alchemical Machine] plus [Mana Return] plus [Multitasking] plus [Craftsman's Skill]...

My working spirit is burning so fiercely that even I am afraid!"

With so many special abilities, he is fully confident that he can break through his teacher's alchemy workshop!
However, after learning more about it, I was speechless.

"Sir Errant, you didn't say the opposite by mistake, did you?

"I'm making a golem in my teacher's workshop, but not only am I not paid, I even have to pay for it myself?"

Roy suspected that he had heard it wrong!
"How can you say the opposite? The teacher provides all the materials and skills, and can also teach you free knowledge..."

Errant looked on in confusion.

“This is a great place to study, a rare blessing…

How many people want to learn but don’t have the chance! ”

"But I feel like I've gotten started," Roy explained. "I've already successfully crafted a golem back home."

Errant heard this and smiled without saying anything: "Every new wizard is so confident, but in reality, the golems created by most people are simply not capable of being put into actual combat. They still need many years of practice.

The experienced craftsmen in the workshop will also give you appropriate guidance, and may even waste materials to re-refine them.

These are actually tuition fees, all for maintaining the operation of the workshop..."

It’s the opposite of Tiangang... simply!
What kind of shady workshop is this!

Roy instantly gave up the idea of entering the teacher's workshop.

Moreover, if I think about it carefully, I have a talent for alchemy and may show various extraordinary qualities in the future. It may not be suitable for me to hang around under the teacher's nose.

It would be better to be sent out and become a lord to rule a region.

Although there is no way to study closely with the teacher, there are still ways to obtain various knowledge and witchcraft resources.

From time to time, I would ask for advice through the communication crystal, and use human or magical creatures to deliver goods to my door...

As a time traveler, I naturally adapt to this mode and don't feel any inconvenience.

Roy gradually developed and became determined to have this idea.

Seek a certain degree of independence!
……

Time flies, and soon it was more than a month later.

Roy saw the library and internal academy in the castle, and Andov and others also completed several tasks in succession near the royal city.

Gradually feeling that the time was ripe, he began to make requests to Frost.

"Want to become a lord and find a place to develop yourself?"

Frost smiled slightly when he heard his cryptic request.

“I’ve said before that the Kingdom of Knight is facing the threat of indigenous barbarians.

Since you have this intention, go to the front line and help me fight.

It just so happens that I just received a secret report that the southern city of Skatu is about to be attacked. You should go and support them."

Roy asked, "Is this considered a mission?"

Frost said: "Of course, I believe in equal exchange. You give me your labor and knowledge, and I will give you something in return.

But this kind of task is not difficult, and it can only be exchanged for 1 magic stones as a reward."

"1 magic stones." Roy nodded.

It's the level of an ordinary task.

Frost said, "However, there are some additional benefits that you can pay more attention to."

Roy's eyes lit up: "What's the benefit?"

Frost said, "Remember the Centaur blood I gave you and the Centaur soul I promised you? They are all there. Go and get them yourself.

If you successfully complete this task, you can choose to stay there permanently. I will try to arrange more tasks for you so that you can earn more wizard coins, more resources and opportunities.

Don't underestimate these things. If you weren't my student, you wouldn't necessarily have these opportunities. You have to proactively find ways to get all the resources yourself."

As long as there are no paid tasks!
Roy secretly complained in his heart, but he asked tentatively, "To obtain the soul of a centaur, you need to use the 'Soul Extraction' technique, and I haven't mastered this spell yet."

In fact, with the "Refining Array" brought by [Equivalent Exchange], I can still capture the soul without relying on external objects.

He could think of at least a few ways to figure it out on his own.

But this does not suit the status quo of new wizards.

Too high-profile and ostentatious.

And he really wanted to draw inferences from other cases and learn from his teacher.

This could perhaps be used to improve the "Alchemy Array" and combine it with the knowledge in the mind to expand its functions.

Frost was not at all surprised when he heard this, so he waved his hand.

A crow flew up from a nearby golden branch and brought back three translucent magic crystals the size of pigeon eggs and in the shape of hexagonal crystal columns from the candlestick next to it three times in a row.

"This is a soul-sucking magic crystal engraved with a witch array, and it is a functional product of "Magic Crystal Science".

It is both a supply for your war and an advance reward."

Frost said to him.

"You can also study it, decipher it and learn...

Of course, not all Centaur blood and souls are useful, you have to learn to choose."

Roy took it and took a look. He vaguely felt that it had something in common with the soul knowledge he had been pondering, and he was overjoyed.

Although they are not exactly in the same field, there is definitely room for reference where there is overlap.

Then, Frost waved again.

The Centaur maid brought over a fist-sized crystal ball.

It is crystal clear, like glass.

However, through spiritual perception, one can vaguely perceive the witchcraft array and secret magic marks engraved inside.

“This communication crystal is for you.

Local communication is not as laborious as interdimensional communication. You can find me when I am free.

But not too often, understand?"

Roy put it away and nodded, "I understand."

Frost has more than one student under him, and he also has to take care of the communications with other subordinates and friends.

But I don’t have much time and energy for myself.

……

Another week passed in the blink of an eye, and it was mid-August in the wizarding calendar.

Roy brought his team and the sick rat snake that seemed to be in a semi-hibernating state to the war front in Skatu.

This is where Roy will fulfill his mission and seek development.

Before entering the city, they stopped on a distant hillside to look around and found that the city was still calm and there was no sign of war.

“This is predicted in advance by some means.

I don't know if it's through spies, divination, prophecy, or something like that...

But no matter which one, it is a dimensionality reduction attack on this low-magic world!"

Roy understood immediately.
