Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 135: Golem Formation
"As expected, they have the same effect...

However, my "Refining Formation" seems to be better in terms of subsequent processing?
It not only captures the soul, but also undergoes a basic refining process, which is almost equivalent to the "blackening" of the soul realm..."

In the quarry, in the alchemy room.

Roy held the pigeon egg-sized crystal in his hand and compared it with the soul-stealing magic crystal his teacher had given him before. He always felt that his product seemed to be even more superior.

"Give it a try."

Soon after, he summoned Attidia.

"Go and hunt a wild beast for me.

Anything is fine, but it has to be alive."

"Yes, my lord!"

Atidiya said neatly.

Then he went out with several subordinates.

There is a forest near the quarry, which is perfect for hunting.

Roy didn't know if it was an illusion, but he vaguely felt that she was still a little happy.

"What's going on? Would you be happy to be told to do something?"

Celine rolled her eyes and said, "Isn't it your charisma that's causing the problem?
Atidia probably confused loyalty and love, and combined her loyalty to her lord with her love.

When you rode her around before, didn't you realize that she had developed a special feeling for you?"

"Oh, is it so?"

Roy suddenly remembered that some evil wizards would specialize in making "love potions" and use free labor to work for them.

……

A few hours later, Attidia and several of her men successfully returned with a wild boar.

This thing is ordinary, but it has been slightly demonized due to the influence of the energy of the nearby earth veins. It weighs four or five hundred kilograms and has a pair of extremely conspicuous fangs.

"Thank you for your hard work, Atidiya. Go and rest first."

Roy spoke to her gently.

It is not difficult for a senior knight to kill such a wild boar, but to capture it alive, he has to chase it around.

For the Centaurs, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, making it difficult to move around, which is really hard.

Atedia shook her head. "I'm not tired."

Roy didn't pay much attention to her.

He is now thinking about a question, that is, whether the development and utilization of the "Refining Array" according to his own method of promotion will have many more advantages than the traditional soul-stealing technique.

Since I am studying under the teacher, I must master the application branch of Golem.

However, there may not be only one way to control the golem.

Maybe, I took a shortcut in my "Refining Formation".

……

"The painting is done!"

It was not until the evening that Roy finally carved the readjusted "Alchemy Array" on the stone slab.

In a place like a quarry, there may be a shortage of any material, but there will never be a shortage of stone.

He can use local materials and find suitable boards very conveniently.

There was no need to even look for another place. I just found 5 5×25 square thick stone slabs in total to make a puzzle for the formation.

When everything was ready, the golden scale floated in the void in the form of a three-dimensional projection.

Roy waved his hand, and the wild boar weighing hundreds of pounds rose out of thin air and was placed on one side of the scale.

Immediately, a hazy shadow appeared in the air.

Then, he placed a pigeon egg-sized quartz stone and several wizard coins he had made himself on the other side.

This also incidentally verifies whether this kind of thing can be used in witchcraft rituals. Logically speaking, anything with a certain value can be used as a substitute for "money" in rituals!
Sure enough, the projection in the air showed a hexagonal quartz crystal column and hundreds of faint lights surrounding it.

"~~......"

Accompanied by a mysterious rhythm, low incantations rang out in the hall.

Roy recited his wizard motto in the form of a spell.

Then, he used his mind to drive a dagger and suddenly stabbed it into the neck of the tied wild boar.

Quick and efficient, kill the pig and bleed it.

Celine and Atidiya, who were present, looked up in surprise, watching the two ends of the scale being balanced.

All the brilliance, along with the phantom of the golden scale, disappeared, leaving only the slightly glowing quartz crystal column and a few wizard coins that were turning into powder and dissipating in the air.

"It's done!"

Roy's eyes lit up. He stretched out his hand, took down the completely different quartz crystal column from the air, and examined it carefully.

After being identified by the Eye of Hermes, this stone is no longer an ordinary object without any spiritual light, but a strange gem with a natural magic array structure and condensed soul power.

Due to the catalysis of the "Alchemy Array", it formed a natural soul-capturing magic crystal.

“But it’s different from a real soul-stealing magic crystal. It lacks the power to seal and store souls, so the soul inside will be lost very quickly.

As expected, we still need to do more research!"

However, what Roy is concerned about now is not the problem of this "container", but the newly refined "soul seed".

This comes from the wild boar's soul, which seems to have no innate essence.

At least, he didn't feel the slightest bit of the alchemical talent that caused a dull pain between his eyebrows.

Roy smiled secretly, thinking that according to the principle of like cures like, this kind of thing would probably only be effective on wild boars.

Perhaps I can strengthen the wild boar talent...

"Wait, could it be possible to extract the wild boar's bloodline talent and then cultivate a person with special talents in the wild boar world?

If this inference is correct, can it be proved that extracting the souls of other people with advanced alchemy skills can supplement my alchemy?

And extracting warriors... is it to strengthen my combat talents?"

Celine and Atidiya didn't know what Roy was thinking. They only knew that his expression kept changing and he seemed a little strange.

“This method is too cruel and too evil.

But it does follow the principle of equivalent exchange!

And it also fits the original definition of the 'Philosopher's Stone'...

It’s absolutely true!”

After pondering for a long time, Roy ordered: "Attia, go catch a few more wild boars tomorrow..."

The next day came quickly, and Atidia faithfully carried out Roy's orders, bringing him several wild boars of various sizes.

In the next few days, Roy conducted experiments one by one according to his conjecture.

As a result, even after all the soul fire in the bodies of several wild boars was consumed, this conjecture was not confirmed.

It seems that it is not as simple as just "life" and "soul".

Are there some special elements missing?

So what exactly could it be?

Roy was puzzled for the time being, so he carved a stone statue of a wild boar and then used the last "soul seed" on it.

When watered with hot blood and infused with the energy of "activation", the stone sculpture came alive and rushed forward wildly.

The scene was in chaos and confusion.

Roy looked at this scene and didn't feel bad. Instead, he laughed out loud.

Because of the application of the "Alchemy Array"...

The "Golem Formation" that had been deduced before can finally be officially declared a success!
