Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 185 Blood Disease

Before I knew it, more than a month had passed.

The time has come in October.

In the quarry, in the alchemy room.

Roy sat in front of the table, on which were placed several small gems shining with blue light and dozens of small gems shining with green light.

After a moment, he sighed.

“Failed again!
It turns out that it's not that easy to refine a gifted gemstone! "

He rubbed his eyes. Using the [Eye of Hermes] continuously was a bit of a burden even for his current level of mental strength.

However, after throwing away most of the waste that had already broken into pieces and cracks, I still picked out a few pieces and put them into boxes prepared in advance.

Strength Gem (+1), Agility Gem (+1), Wisdom Gem (+1)...

The labels affixed to them indicate their respective properties.

Roy checked the experimental records he had recorded personally and found that his recent attempts had not been successful in researching the talent gems, but instead had opened up the key to the attribute gems.

This does have some meaning of unintentionally obtaining by-products in the process of pursuing the "ultimate".

"I was clearly researching talent gems, so how come I somehow managed to master attribute gems?

But it’s okay, it’s time to update my personal store! ”

He put these things away, then meditated silently and adjusted his "store mark".

……

A short while later, Roy was walking down a corridor inside the quarry.

Olinda hurried past and casually greeted someone. Suddenly, she thought of something and used her mental power to probe over.

In an instant, in her perception, a translucent illusory panel appeared above Roy's head, displaying a lot of information on the exchange of wizard resources and knowledge.

"Your store mark has been updated, and this extra... is actually an attribute gem?"

Her eyes lit up and she said with some surprise.

"Yes, do you want to exchange it?"

Roy turned his head and asked.

"Of course, this thing can be made into a treasure like a ring with enhanced attributes...

Let me see, each person is limited to two?"

After a brief reading, Olinda took out 2000 magic stones and bought two wisdom gems that could increase spiritual power.

She said happily, "I have long wanted to get some external objects that can enhance my spirit.

Perhaps it can help me realize the Rune of Will and become an elite apprentice!"

Then he felt quite regretful: "Unfortunately, due to the interference of energy particles, I can only wear two at a time...

Otherwise, I would have to make 10 rings and wear them on all 10 fingers!"

Roy smiled. The mutual interference of energy particles has always been a difficult problem for spellcasters to solve.

……

After Olinda, Winter, Gret and others also discovered the update of Roy's "Store Mark" and received new supplies.

In addition to being used to make accessories, this kind of thing can also be inlaid on magic weapons to provide corresponding blessings to the wearer.

Inspired by the experience of the previous battle with the Bloodhoof Tribe, they are gradually accumulating their own equipment, trying to be well-equipped.

The main alchemical products that Roy can provide are blood mercury, artificial meat, blood and flesh fossils, living fossil statues, etc., and now there are also high-quality materials such as attribute gems.

He did not interfere too much in the personality development of his subordinates, and focused more on himself.

A few days later, after using up the last batch of gems, he finally succeeded in refining two +2 wisdom gems.

"+2 Wisdom Gem, the effect it provides is to increase the strength of mental power by 2 degrees!
Through a special combination, equipping two at the same time will increase the degree by 4!
This is already close to the spiritual power of an elite apprentice!
My own mental strength is now over 20 degrees, and after adding these 4 degrees, it's rounded up to 25 degrees!" Roy calculated happily as he used [Craftsmanship] and [Journeymanship] to create two ring-like accessories for himself.

Even more valuable is the experience gained.

After he set the gem in the ring and put it on, he reviewed and summarized the process.

……

After a while, Roy returned to his alchemy room and came to an egg-shaped life-support chamber protected by multiple mechanisms and witchcraft traps.

There was a pale young man inside.

However, this did not mean that Roy transformed into an evil wizard and killed his young apprentices to use them for experiments.

Instead, he spent his own money to buy embryos, and then personally studied the "blood art". After mastering the method of blood regulation, he carefully cultivated an artificial human body.

Those who liked to take over other people's bodies were the dark wizards thousands of years ago.

Modern wizards no longer do this.

This also ties in closely with the connection between spirituality and matter proposed by some great wizards.

The soul sprouts from the brain cells, and the brain adapts to the original body.

The relationship between them is much closer than what the ancients observed and believed.

If you choose to parasitize a natural life that has already been born, many difficult problems will arise, especially if the brain is already mature, which is the most forbidden of all.

“The cultivation of the test subjects is almost complete.

But this is just a copy of open source at best...

The main thing was to gain insight into the bloodline factor information inside and confirm that there were no hidden dangers or backdoors...

But no matter what, it can be regarded as the beginning of independent and controllable development."

Roy pondered.

Celine just happened to walk in from outside and was slightly distracted when she saw this scene.

Roy noticed her presence, turned around, and smiled: "How is it? Does it feel like you're back in the Wu Tower, watching Senior Sophia develop her new body?"

Celine came back to her senses and curled her lips. "You're learning these things much slower than Senior Sophia. And you still haven't mastered the 'Bloodline Technique'."

Roy thought to himself, who said that there is so much knowledge in "Bloodline Technique" that is not related to the field of alchemy?
At this moment, Celine's expression suddenly changed.

She covered her mouth and coughed a few times, then suddenly spread out her hands and looked at the pool of dark red blood in her palms in a daze.

"what happened to you?"

Roy's expression changed slightly. He walked up to her and without saying anything, placed his palm on her forehead.

His mental power penetrated the silver armor and was released, quickly passing through Celine's body and mind, and soon she became aware of it.

“Your body…

how so? "

He was slightly surprised to find that the life energy particles in Celine's body were scarce and the force field was weak.

The body that should have been strong enough to be at the Great Knight stage has become as weak as a candle in the wind.

“It’s a blood disease…

Senior Sophia's original body had already collapsed genetically, and it was only by relying on a powerful bloodline spell that it could be temporarily stabilized.

But now, the effect of the spell is gradually weakening, and the structure of the bloodline factor is close to collapse...

A lot of problems have emerged.”

Celine spoke to Roy calmly, as if she was telling someone else's story.
