Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 133 Homemade Currency
“Is this the cloud stone produced in another world?
As expected, many of them have been demonized by the earth's energy, and their properties are far superior to those we encountered in the Wu Tower before."

Roy's eyes lit up.

He immediately ordered Gold: "Make sure to resume operation of the quarry as soon as possible, and also survey the surrounding area."

He was thinking of valuable minerals or various witchcraft materials.

It is not easy to mine these things in the low-magic world, but they are not completely impossible.

Gold tipped his hat and saluted, "As you command, sir."

Soon after, the others were busy cleaning up the camp and sorting out factory matters.

Roy went to the lobby of the bandit camp and called Stuart over to appreciate the large pieces of white material that looked like jade.

When Stuart was in the Witch Tower, he was an intermediate apprentice in the carving class. After seeing it, he couldn't help but show surprise and couldn't let it go.

“Good material, great material for carving!”

"Since you have good material, then practice more. When your skills mature, you can help me."

Roy said to him.

Bringing these apprentices here will be useful.

The one who can be most useful among them is probably Stuart.

He can also make use of these stones.

"But I don't have any idea what to make with the produce here."

Hearing his words, Stuart turned his head with a hint of surprise.

"Lord Roy, aren't you going to learn golem carving from Lord Frost?"

"If you understand one principle, you will understand all principles. You don't have to be limited to learning centaurs."

Roy said vaguely.

In fact, after he had a general understanding of the principles of the golem, he vaguely felt that his "refining array" had a wider range of adaptability and greater plasticity.

I plan to develop my alchemy talent.

"The golem's appearance is indeed just a facade, but its soul, intelligence, basic movements, and skills all require matching sorcery and formations, which involves extremely advanced knowledge."

Stuart gently advised that it would be better to concentrate and not be too ambitious.

"Besides, you've just been promoted, so you still have a long way to go."

Roy nodded, thinking of more things in his mind, but he still combined the original alchemy talent of [Equivalent Exchange] to develop the "Alchemy Array".

That is your true foundation.

However, he also humbly accepted Stuart's advice, and at least did not appear to be too ambitious.

After some discussion, they finally decided to start with some small and practical alchemical products.

It would be best if it could establish a "connection" with things like golems and alchemy arrays.

After a moment's deliberation, Stodson suggested, "We can refine and issue our own currency.

This way, you can practice.

This is essentially an alchemical product that uses many technologies.

Whether it's engraving arcane marks, pouring energy into something, or shaping complex sorcery formations, or even mastering life and soul at a deeper level...

All of this can be achieved by refining it.

Secondly, it is indeed time to consider issuing our own currency and distributing the resources obtained from Lord Frost.

We are your vassal, but not Lord Frosov's vassal, so we can only obtain various resources through you."

Roy nodded. "I was negligent before. Fortunately, I have only been here for a short time. I will pay attention to this matter."

With his current reputation and credibility, it is certainly impossible for him to circulate the wizard coins he refined among all wizards.

But it is more than enough to supply Andoff, Stowson and others.

Even the local nobles of the city of Skatu could collect and use them. These wizard coins were not primarily composed of sorcery energy like magic stones, but rather a credit-based currency composed of arcane seals and sorcery.

Combining his own highest alchemy level, it is enough to display encryption that ordinary people cannot crack.

As for the materials used, whether it is gold, silver, copper, stone, or shell, it does not matter.

This can keep costs extremely low.

Of course, we cannot issue them indiscriminately or excessively.

A small and fragile economy cannot support a few sickles of harvest, and what will ultimately be ruined is one's own reputation and credibility.

Roy decided to take conservative measures first, anchoring the "Flosf Wizard Coin" given to him by his teacher and refining 1000 "Roy Wizard Coins" with a face value of 100 magic stones.

He is not considering larger denominations for the time being because he has limited resources and he is still an unknown person with limited credibility.

……

After thinking it through, Roy specifically selected a larger room in the quarry as his residence, partitioning it with simple stone slabs.

In one corner, the magical treasure "standing cabinet" is unfolded to support the "portable small alchemy laboratory".

Having this thing is indeed much more convenient. I don't have to spend time and effort to rebuild the alchemy room, which saves at least several months of effort.

He took out some commonly used magical alchemical tools, transformed spiritual power into witchcraft energy, and awakened it.

"Young men, are there any suitable for cutting stone and etching magic arrays?"

The beaker with the tape on it came out bounding.

"What does this have to do with you? Do you know the formula for the potion specifically used to etch stone?"

Roy was slightly surprised and peeled off the tape.

It was this beaker that suggested the daffodil potion last time, so we decided to give it a chance to speak.

Beaker said, "I, I just want to breathe..."

Roy's face darkened and he put the tape back on: "Stay away and stand for eight hours!
If you dare to move, I will use you to scoop shit from now on!"

Beaker was so scared that he covered his hands with the tape, and with a whoosh, he ran to the edge of the table and stayed there.

"Dear Master, we specialize in alchemical tools for potions and are not very good at handling stones."

At this time, a grinding hammer commonly used for pounding medicine came up hopping and said carefully.

"Yes, yes." The alchemical cauldron and the crucible also said.

"Is that so? Never mind. I won't be lazy and will handle it myself."

Roy had to do it himself. He first used a chisel and a hammer to break up the stones, and then used his own strength to break the stone bars.

Then use a carving knife to carve it piece by piece.

This isn't very efficient, Roy decided to himself as he worked.

"I must get some saw blades or special stone-cutting tools next time!"

……

three days later.

Roy gathered everyone together and presented the results of his research.

“Benefits are being distributed!
I have never been able to repay you all for following me from my homeland to this strange and alien world.

It was decided to give each person 1000 magic stones as a benefit for team members.

You can circulate this stuff among each other, trade it with local natives or other apprentices, and exchange it with me for materials and alchemical products."

"Is this 1000 magic stones?"

Andov and the others didn't know what Stodson and Roy had discussed, so they picked it up and started reading it with some curiosity.
