Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 248 Unintentional Gain
One day later, in Tanlie City.

Amo, who was drinking and having fun in a mansion, was furious when he learned about this.

“Black Blade Clan, Luker!
You are not dead yet!"

"Something's not right, Brother Amo. Eyewitnesses said that Luker killed them all with just a few strikes!

The blood in the corpse seemed to be frozen...

That's ice elemental damage!"

In the lobby, a thin orc who looked rather weak began to ponder.

"The reputation of our Molten Fire Tribe cannot be challenged!
If you dare to touch them, you will have trouble with me!

Stop talking so much useless nonsense, go find him for me!
I'm going to chop off his head!"

Amo roared in frustration, not listening to what the weak orc said.

The weak orc had no other choice but to promise, "I'll send someone to look for it..."

……

At this time, Roy had temporarily returned to his secret camp to check the harvest.

In addition to what he gained from killing those orc thugs, what he valued more was what he got from the Tuval wizard.

“Meat-eating…

Cultivation method of Creole mushrooms...

A mutated demonic plant?"

“Some wizards choose to cultivate their own witchcraft materials using plants, and even use them as guards to protect the camp.

Is this something like that?”

Celine and Atidiya also looked at it with curiosity.

"That's not the case. The Tuval wizard intended to use it as food..."

Roy had already learned the information on the way and explained it to them.

"Tuval seems to be planning to use it as a food source, growing it in large quantities, and looking for an opportunity to control the orcs in the future...

The social development of this world is very weak. The root cause is that the process of transformation from a fishing and hunting society to an agricultural society was disrupted by supernatural forces.

If we can research crops that are beneficial to this, we can greatly increase the orc population and enhance our resources."

"Doesn't that mean aiding the enemy? Orcs could become enemies of the wizarding world."

Celine couldn't help but ask.

"It's not that simple."

Roy glanced at her and said silently in his heart.

The key lies in whether this kind of farming wizard can be controlled by wizards.

If we could use witchcraft to control the production and reproduction of this Kreo mushroom...

For example, accumulating trace amounts of toxicity could affect orc fertility...

For example, controlling spores...

This is enough to control the entire world!

Wizard Tuval looks cowardly and stingy, but what he studies is related to the people's livelihood and economy of the world.

If he could really succeed, the impact on the world would be no less than that of a high-level wizard or even a great wizard!

And in a sense, this is also the path to becoming a god...

God of agriculture or something like that!

But soon, Roy laughed at himself again.

It seems a bit off topic.

If it was really that valuable, how could he just give it to me so casually?
Generally speaking, it should be the remaining assets of a failed project.

Just like the old apprentice who once sold him the mechanical beast Demon Leopard, he couldn't study it anymore and just sold it.

If he didn't possess the alchemical talent [Darkness], and rashly started the art of creating humans, he would have created a thing like a succubus doll.

There's a high chance the project will fail... If they're really out of money, or if they're about to venture into the Cretaceous Land, they might as well sell it for cash...

That's also possible.

Of course, things like products are gone once they are sold.

Data can be copied infinitely.

Wizard Tuval might have sold multiple copies and recovered his investment!

Thinking of this, Roy's heart moved slightly, and he looked at it carefully again.

"Why does this thing seem more and more wrong the more I look at it?

This so-called carnivorous nature of the Creo mushroom actually feeds on the corpses of living things, crops that participate in decomposition...

This is the plant-based version of the Darkening Technique. It's used to destroy corpses and remove traces of evidence, and I'm afraid it's even more effective than replacing food!"

It has a serious flaw, which is that the mycelium can only take root in flesh and blood.

In this way, once the corpse is decomposed, the entire mushroom will be finished.

Not long after, Roy called Ivant over and said, "You're a wood elf, so you should know something about magical plants. Please help me raise this thing!"
I'll give you a batch of experimental materials, just consider it as an investment..."

I just gave him some scraps left over from the experiments.

……

In the following days, Roy paid a little attention to Amo's movements.

As expected, the other party was furious and searched everywhere for the madman "Lukel" who killed his clan brothers.

Tuval's subordinates took the opportunity to spread rumors in the streets and alleys to help divert their attention, and the matter was temporarily over.

However, the groundwork has been laid for a conflict between the two.

Once Roy is ready, we can really start!

As a result, Ivant, who was responsible for cultivating the "Kreo Mushroom", suddenly found Roy with a little joy and excitement.

"Lord Roy, that kind of Kreo mushroom seems to have mutated after arriving here due to the water and soil issues!"

"is it?"

Roy followed Ivant to the place where he grew mushrooms and took a look.

It was a naturally formed valley, and in several dark corners of the small valley were buried the bodies of several native creatures.

There are kangaroo-like swift dragons, huge herbivorous dragons, and various jackals, wild boars and the like.

It seemed that due to the effect of the Creo mushroom, there was no trace of corpse smell around.

Roy saw that the corpses were covered with clusters of thick white fungi similar to oyster mushrooms, with tiled or fan-shaped caps, and they looked very prosperous.

In a specially developed nursery, clusters of Creo mushrooms grew on rotten wood, breaking the rule that they can only grow on flesh and blood.

"How is this going?"

"It might be due to the mixing with the nearby giant mushroom mycelium, and the pull of magic, which caused the accident!

Please look over here again..."

With unconcealable joy in his voice, Ivant led Roy to another experimental nursery.

"You see, this is the result of me pouring some activation potion on it..."

"This is……"

Roy looked surprised.

What appeared before my eyes was a sturdy white mushroom with a large fruiting body and a cylindrical cap.

This looks a bit like the edible chicken leg mushroom, but much larger in size.

The small ones are as thick as an orc's arm, while the big ones are as thick as a thigh or even a waist.

Perhaps because of what Ivant said, that the potion had been poured out, it actually took on an appearance similar to the surrounding corpses.

The solid white mushroom flesh shows an abnormal state of life energy activity!
This is a natural, activated plant that appears to be in a state of "activation"!
