Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 184 Gifted Gem
At this time, the Centaur workers in the quarry were also alarmed and surrounded the large piece of jade excitedly.

"This is the crystallization caused by the condensation of earth vein energy...

It's almost equivalent to a raw magic crystal ore!"

"How much is such a big piece worth?"

"Money? Talking about money is vulgar, isn't it? This kind of thing is a treasure that even wizards covet. You can't buy it even if you have money!"

During the discussion, Roy walked over and looked up at the stone in front of him.

Gold was right.

This is indeed a piece of fine jade.

The huge jade stone, like crystallized magic crystal ore, is embedded in the mountain.

When the Centaur craftsmen were quarrying the mountain, a corner of it happened to be exposed. Surprised, they quickly chiseled open the cracked mountain next to it to expose the whole part.

As a result, a large piece of natural treasure was obtained.

Roy asked, "What kind of treasure could such a large piece of jade be?"

Gold said, "It should be at least level one!"

The craftsmen also said: "This must be a real magical treasure."

"It's rare, such a big piece!"

Roy didn't say anything, but used the Eye of Hermes to observe and identify.

As expected, a magical aura with a hint of blue and white appeared in the green.

It is a natural gem material between the first and second grades!

"With the Wezel system, it's very common for wizards to take advantage of the colonies and make huge profits.

So in the end, a system similar to the tax farming system was adopted - demarcating a territory and stipulating the share to be handed over.

Theoretically, I could keep this piece of jade and make a fine golem myself.

But I don't have any more blood and soul to build a new first-level golem, so I might as well do this to maximize the benefits!"

Roy thought for a while, then suddenly took out a chisel and hammer made of star iron, walked forward and knocked off the protruding corners along the edge of the stone.

That's the most refined blue aura within the large stone...

Section of secondary materials!
There is also a first-level part that emits green light...

I also knocked off more than ten yuan!

After working like this for a while, the rough outline of a centaur statue took shape.

"Okay, the big pieces go to the teacher, and the small pieces go to the students. That makes sense, right?"

He looked around, looked at Gold, then looked at the other craftsmen, and said softly.

It’s reasonable, so reasonable!
Everyone nodded repeatedly like chicks pecking at rice.

……

"You've unearthed a large piece of magical jade in your territory, and you're planning to pay it forward to me?"

Soon after, Frost learned of Roy's report.

"You didn't dig out two or three pieces, kept them for yourself, and then reported one piece!"

There was something odd on the old wizard's face.

"No, no, I just knocked off some scraps and did my own research."

Roy broke out in a cold sweat.

The teacher is really experienced.

Could it be that you did this a lot when you were someone else’s student?

Frost was obviously just teasing Roy. He also had his own spies in the quarry, and the high-level goblin butler Gold was assigned by him.

There is also a group of humans or centaurs in important positions such as stonemasons, servants, cooks, etc., who may all be spies.

How could he not know the general situation?

However, Frosev still didn't expect that Roy would have such an incredible alchemical talent as the [Eye of Hermes], and could easily identify these treasures at the first-level wizard stage.

This unreasonable innate ability surpasses hundreds or even thousands of years of appraisal experience. "Alright, I'll send someone to collect the stone, and after an appraisal, I'll give you a deduction from the lord's taxes!"

It is hard to say how many years the deduction can be made.

But such a large piece of first-level material can at least offset more than 100 pieces of magic cloud stone of the same size.

That’s more than 10 years of taxes!

If I personally appraise it and find it more valuable, I can give you another benefit.

For example, how about a wizard-level golem with level one combat power?
However, it’s a basic blank golem, without any skill modules or enhancements…”

"also."

Roy didn't care about this issue.

Because as a "tenant", there is no way I can take advantage of the teacher, the "lord", in this matter.

Even these extra benefits are just to provide some defensive power within the territory to deal with future crises.

If I want to leave in the future, I may not be able to take it with me.

If it is converted into property and sold to the teacher, the price will definitely be severely reduced.

……

After a lot of work, what Roy finally valued was the second-grade jade material and more than ten pieces of first-grade jade materials.

But this time, he was not in a hurry to carve them into golems.

Because this material is so small, it is suitable for rare items such as jewelry.

Or, a table ornament.

But he did not set out to make these, because he planned to combine the "Talent Seed" to research something more meaningful.

The Philosopher's Stone...

To be more precise, it is a legendary object in the field of "Magic Crystal Studies".

Gifted gem!

“There are always many similar magic crystals.

For example, wearing a gemstone can increase a person's strength and agility...

Enhancement crystals that can grant various magical properties to creatures or equipment...

And the Ioun Stone, a gemstone with similar properties, but capable of sensing the human life energy field and resonating with it, hovering nearby...

However, the magic crystal that can directly enhance a person's knowledge and abilities...

Extremely rare!

This involves a logical problem: humans are inherently incomplete, incapable, and flawed...

How can we use our subjective initiative to perfect ourselves by creating the Philosopher's Stone?

This is actually a kind of transcendence and evolution, which requires the help of some external force to achieve 'self-bootstrapping'!"

Roy has been thinking about these issues for quite some time.

The answer he gave was the gifted gem.

Start by studying the physical gift gems, and then move to the soul level step by step.

The final solution is for the innate witchcraft - just like the innate witchcraft, it is embedded in the horoscope!

In that way, perhaps we can get rid of certain restrictions and gain more and better abilities!
The same goes for the body.

I am currently in a situation where my soul and status are relatively strong, but I am restricted by my body.

The predecessor was originally a level zero life.

If through certain means, the body is replaced step by step.

From level zero to level one, from level one to level two, from level two to level three...

Is it possible to build a "self-propelled" ladder to God for yourself, and advance step by step without bottlenecks?

Theory is feasible, but practice is lacking.

He's going to give it a try!
