Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 138 Shatlanz
After listening to Frost's explanation, Roy gradually realized that he was not able to refine this kind of thing at the moment.

Because the space suitable for survival involves advanced concepts such as "ether" and "mana".

Simply put, mana exists between heaven and earth, and is omnipresent like "ether", and is the basis of all magical life.

If you are trapped in a closed space like a space ring, you may "suffocate".

Therefore, the instinct of life will resist, and various soul and spiritual problems will arise.

A space suitable for the survival of a magical pet must at least be a small demiplane, or even a miniature world.

Both the technical difficulty and the production cost are much higher.

Frost said, "I stored most of the golems I refined in my own castle. Every once in a while, wizards from the alliance would come and collect them with special magical instruments, or use the methods left by the great wizards to offer them as sacrifices...

Of course, a small number of fine items will be kept and stored and moved using spells such as "Shrinkage".

Only in this way can you use it anytime and anywhere and truly turn it into your own combat power."

"Shrinking?" Roy was bewildered.

Frost chuckled. "That actually comes from the magic of the mage. We wizards are better at things like 'Malicious Transfiguration'..."

That's the kind of evil spell that wizards made up to discredit us wizards, the kind in fairy tales where the 'prince was cursed and turned into a frog'!"

Frost skipped over these and focused on explaining the "art of shrinking objects".

"Through the unremitting efforts of the great wizards, some of the arcane spells have been cracked, and the wizarding world now has corresponding witchcraft.

The effect is the same as the arcane spell, shrinking the item to a maximum of 1/16 of its original size."

That is to say, a 1.6-meter-tall human statue can be converted to about 10 centimeters.

The Centaur, which is more than one meter tall at the shoulder, can also be compressed to 10 centimeters high and turned into a table ornament.

Roy quickly assessed it in his mind.

Frost continued, "And based on this, I successfully mastered the summoning stone technique of the 'Immortal Legion'.

Even a large statue can be transformed into a stone Chatlanz chess piece, with a compression rate of about 1/100!"

Roy's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Teacher, please teach me something!"

The "Shatranz" mentioned by Frost was a translation term that Roy automatically made up in his mind.

This was the predecessor of chess.

Corresponding to the wizarding world, it is also a kind of chess.

In fact, the "Shrinking Technique" alone is enough to make the golem army combat-ready.

Mastering what the teacher calls "Shatlanz Chess" can allow him to become a legion commander and possess the strategic value of galloping across the battlefield!
It is no exaggeration to say that such wizards who are recruited will be treated as treasures and carefully protected.

Of course Roy also wanted to learn.

Frost smiled and said, "This is my signature skill. You are not valuable enough to exchange with me right now."

what?
Roy was a little disappointed, but when he thought about it, the wizard motto that his teacher followed was also "equal exchange", which made it easy to understand.

"Then what price do I need to pay?" Roy asked seriously.

"Let's exchange it for 100 million magic stones."

Frost thought for a moment and said to him.

"Honestly speaking, this is already a bargain price. It can only be regarded as a small test for you.

If you can't even pass this test, it means your conditions for learning are not mature enough."

"Oh, I see." Roy nodded, already understanding what was going on.

Frost added: “However, I can give you the information about the ‘Shrinking Technique’ directly, and you can figure it out yourself.

It would be great if we could develop Chatlanz chess on our own."

This is also a test.

It is a greater test for talent and ability.

"let me try."

Roy responded cautiously to this.

……

A few days later, Roy suddenly sensed a surge of magical energy and heard something knocking on the window. He got up and opened the window, only to find his teacher's familiar coming in.

"Phew! I'm so exhausted!

"Roy, can't you just raise a pet and come get it yourself? Why do you have to trouble me so much?"

The crow suddenly lay down on the table, looking as if he had lost all hope in life.

Immediately, the witchcraft energy surged in his body, and he took out a spell information book containing knowledge from the feathers on his body.

"Thank you for your hard work, sir!"

Roy said this and stuffed a small stack of wizard coins he made himself into the box without any formality. There were 10 of them, with a total value of 1000 magic stones.

"This is……"

The crow's human-like face showed surprise, and its body seemed to be injected with energy and stood up again.

"These are the wizard coins I made myself. It's just a small token of my appreciation."

"Huh? Oh!"

The old crow laughed dryly, looked at Roy approvingly, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad.

You actually already know how to make wizard coins yourself!"

"No, I'm still inexperienced and still need guidance from you seniors."

"hey-hey!"

The old crow rolled his eyes, shook his feathers, and laughed dryly.

"Little guy, don't think I don't know what you are up to!

Okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you and speak well of you in front of other wizards and apprentices.

There might be a good opportunity for a deal in the future, allowing them to recognize the value of the currency you've refined!"

This old crow is the teacher's magical pet and has a lot of "connections".

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency!"

Roy said with a happy look on his face.

……

After sending the old crow away, Roy opened the spell book it brought and began to read.

But soon, he rubbed his temples and felt his head getting hot and aching slightly.

"The basic principles of Shrinking, its composition, and its casting elements..."

What the hell! "

This thing is somewhat like the most powerful headache spell, and it even has a hypnotic effect.

“It’s like reading a book from heaven!

I’m not a genius after all!”

Roy sighed and closed the book.

"I've talked with my teacher before. The innate witchcraft and the source of magic power are the goal and the right path. Everything else is just scenery along the way.

Things like this are beautiful scenery that cannot be missed.

The Alchemist's fighting style originally includes things like potion enhancement and puppet summoning, which will also be part of the combat power.

But I can't just carry the golem around everywhere. If I want to use it in actual combat, I must master these!"

Fortunately, I am now an official wizard. My strong mental power and long life will be my advantages.

He decided to persevere in the coming days and master this "art of shrinking objects" thoroughly.

Just as I thought of this, the voice of Gold, the high goblin supervisor, rang out outside.

"Lord Roy, good news, great news!

We discovered a small mercury mine nearby!"
