Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 151 Totem Stone
"What is this?"

Under the visor, Roy showed a look of doubt.

He looked carefully and found that the stone was about the size of a fist, and the exposed part was brightly colored, which was dyed with some kind of plant material.

Under the illumination of the [Eye of Hermes], it appears with a white aura, revealing the essence of a level zero treasure.

However, within this level zero white spiritual light, there is actually a hint of golden orange!

The golden orange color, like a human-shaped angel, gives it an indescribable and strange texture!

This is completely different from the white items of zero quality.

"It's actually a fourth-level treasure! What on earth is it?"

After Roy confirmed that he was not mistaken, he felt a little shocked.

But after searching in my mind, I quickly came up with the answer.

“This is the totem stone of the Bloodhoof Tribe!

To be more precise, it was the totem stone given to my son when he grew up and the custom of 'separating the stove' was carried out, separating him from another tribe!"

With some surprise, he picked up the stone, held it in his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and sensed it with his mind.

In an instant, a projection like an unreal scene appeared before my eyes.

He seemed to see natural mountains towering like monuments on a vast plain.

The many mountains nearby are rolling and undulating, blocking the cold wind blowing from the southernmost land like a city wall.

The descendants of the Bloodhoof Tribe have thrived and multiplied under its protection for generations, surviving the cold winter year after year.

The Centaurs called the mountains in this area "Gilizaro", which means "sacred barrier" in the language of Knightland...

Or, “Holy Mountain”!
This stone was collected from the top of the holy mountain.

It was originally an ordinary stone that did not contain any magic!
However, during the festive celebration with singing and dancing, it was collected by the tribal elders and made into a totem stone.

The Centaurs painted it, dressed it up, offered it as a sacrifice, and worshipped it...

Day after day, year after year...

The originally ordinary rocks gradually condensed into a trace of spirituality!
Roy's eyes snapped open.

"The Centaur natives have low productivity, and their settlements often can't support too many people, so most tribes are capped at a few thousand people.

A tribe with a population of tens of thousands is a very powerful one.

Even those heroic centaurs who claimed the title of king in the past, and whose direct tribes they led, only had a size of about 10,000 to 20,000 people, with the rest joining as vassals.

He thought of some of the books he had read before he came into this world.

The above talks about the customs and habits of this world, as well as some customs of the indigenous people.

It soon became clear that the white light contained in the totem stone was connected to the holy mountain, something similar to spiritual belief.

"It's a bit similar to the Holy Lake crystals I collected before. Some similar crystals have condensed here too!"

Luo Yi suddenly thought of something else.

The special crystals that look like salt grains are also condensed in a similar way.

“However, not every tribe can successfully enshrine and form it.

Condensing the essence of mana is a matter of chance.

Ordinary people don't have the [Eye of Hermes] like me, and they can't identify it at a glance.

If you cut it open and examine it carefully, it's almost like gambling on a stone."

"Totem stone?"

While Roy was lost in thought, Andov and others came over to take a look and discuss with him.

"That's right, this is what they rely on for faith!"

"Many of the natives in this world believe in natural spirits like mountains and rivers, right?"

"Holy Mountain Gillizzaro is probably the greatest faith!"

……

After some preparation, Roy handed over all the trivial matters to others. He returned to his mansion in the city, used the communication crystal to contact Frost, and reported some of the seized goods.

This time, he didn't mention the totem stone directly because he wanted to use it himself.

Marcel's blood, essence, and soul were also intended to be detained to continue the research on "Golem Refining".

But all the Soul-Binding Demon Armors were sold to the teacher.

The other centaur captives, with their special souls carrying heroic blood, were also worth tens of thousands of magic stones.

However, he did not plan to save this part, but to exchange it for some wandering soul messengers, meditation potions, healing potions and other supplies.

It is not only supplied to Andov and others, but also stored for themselves in case of emergency.

These all need to be negotiated carefully to determine the final amount.

Frost praised his achievement highly and said, "Roy, you completed the task excellently. I am very satisfied.

But now it seems that being able to mobilize such a large cavalry unit means that the Bloodhoof Tribe's development cannot be underestimated...

Moreover, daring to collude with the devil has violated the "taboo"!
I intend to strike it with a thunderbolt and completely destroy this tribe."

"Completely destroy the Bloodhoof tribe?"

Roy was shocked when he heard this.

"This world's colonial rule has finally reached this point..."

"Yes, you'd better be ready for a fight.

Because by then, it will be a true wizard-level mission."

Frost reminded in a slightly lowered tone.

"Weren't you planning to gather the necessary knowledge to master the secret technique of 'Shatlanz Chess'?
The basic reward this time is 10 magic stones. If you include the captured supplies and other unexpected gains, it will be enough to bring you closer to your goal."

Then he added: "I will send several other wizards to carry out this mission with you.

In this kind of situation, it is safer for a more experienced wizard to take action.

But you passed my test. Both the first battle against Yanila and this support for Skatu City were performed very well.

So, I'm going to give you a chance."

"I understand, thank you, teacher!"

After hearing what Frost said, Roy came back to his senses and expressed his sincere gratitude.

……

"Master Roy, the money and materials you ordered have been distributed. The apprentices have each submitted their exchange requests. Here is the list."

The next morning, Atidiya came with a document and reported to Roy.

"Thank you for your hard work, Atidiya. Not only do you serve as my guard and mount, you also serve as my housekeeper."

Roy ignored the list for the moment and addressed her.

"This is what I should do." Atidiya blushed and stammered.

"This time, we defeated the barbarians and reaped a rich harvest. Besides the rewards given to others based on their merits, you should also gain something.

This is my reward to you."

Roy took out something and placed it on the table.

Atidiya was flattered and quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, sir!"

Roy nodded: "Go down and change clothes and try it out."

Atidiya cast her eyes towards the table and was surprised to find that it was actually a set of clothes.

An exquisite garment resembling silver armor.

After spending a little while, Atidiya put on her armor and came out again, a little embarrassed.

Roy's eyes lit up when he saw this.

"It really fits me perfectly!"
