Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 26 Treasure Hunt Frenzy
A few days later, at the residence.

"Diluent, purifier, neutralizer... everything is almost ready, let's get started!"

Before that, Roy placed the entire piece of Aquinas Magic Gold Claw Blade into a special solvent that he had purchased specifically for the purpose.

After a few days, it had corroded visibly, with most of it collapsing and settling at the bottom.

Roy put the glass rod in and stirred it gently. The rust powder quickly turned the clear solution turbid, and the remnants of the claw blade completely disappeared.

After a while, he placed it into the magic circle, and the liquid began to vibrate visibly, as if boiling.

Roy took the opportunity to add his homemade alkaline solution into it, and soon after, he obtained a turbid liquid.

The bright yellow with some scarlet blood was exactly the essence of Aquinas' magic gold that he wanted!
"Success!

However, the price/performance ratio seems a bit low, the workmanship is not good enough, and it takes a long time!"

Roy used his mental power to carefully check for a while, and after confirming that there were some traces of law residues in it, his face looked a little puzzled.

This kind of thing is, after all, a proper wizard-level weapon. Apprentice-level acid or smelting methods are not so easy to deal with it. You have to go to the market and buy some high-end goods to mix it.

High-end products often mean expensive.

This requires more, even several times, dozens or even hundreds of times more magic stones to buy.

“It seems that alchemy is a bottomless pit, and money is needed everywhere!
Fortunately, I have the success rate of [Skilled Worker], which saves me a lot invisibly!
But that’s not all, every subsequent step will have similar problems!”

Roy couldn't help but start to worry. If all his money was gone, would he be left with nothing?

But on second thought, the choice of the Ghost Witch Body was originally made in order to gamble on the power of the demon god.

This is a long-term investment.

You still have to spend what you should spend, and after spending it, you can just work hard to earn more.

After making up his mind, Roy stood up, cleaned up the alchemy table, then took out the second claw blade and continued trying.

“Let’s find a more efficient method this time.

By the way, learn and practice."

To become an excellent alchemist, one must master a lot of mystical knowledge and have some knowledge of various formulas.

……

Late May.

The twenty-third will rune, Dakaz (), appeared as expected.

"Very good, the meditation training is progressing smoothly. I'm only one step away from becoming an advanced apprentice!"

Roy smiled with relief.

Thanks to the magic stone refining and dark orchard projects, he has a steady stream of income.

Although this is not a lot, it is still possible to maintain the current progress of meditation practice.

Ordinary apprentices do not have such conditions.

The next step should be to be promoted to senior apprentice.

Roy thought about it and realized that being promoted to a senior level was a big deal for the apprentices in the Witch Tower.

That means all 24 will runes can be revealed, and mental power will enter the stage of materialization.

At this time, Renien came over excitedly: "Roy, good news!"

"What good news?" Roy asked curiously.

"In order to encourage us to take on quests, Wuta has increased the rewards once again... Look!"

Roy took the notice he handed over and looked at it: "Clear the West Coast...

Mission requirements: Kill the murloc warlock and obtain the fish beads in his body as evidence.

Mission Reward: One quota of main materials for Apprentice-level Witch Body Transformation (ordinary transformation, non-inherited sequence)..."

Renien danced with joy and said, "The main material for wizard body transformation! With this thing, even if I can't master the spell model, I can ask senior apprentices to help with wizard body transformation or various enhancements!

I'm planning to get some Star Soul Dust and ask someone to help me refine the Star Soul Beast Arm. Do you want to come with me?"

"The situation seems to be getting increasingly serious. Did the previous forbidden experiment have such far-reaching consequences?"

Roy didn't answer Renien immediately, but thought about it.

Renien said: "Why bother with so much? This is a good thing for us, isn't it?
All the materials you get belong to you. I haven't been willing to spend any of the magic stones before, so I'll give them to you as your hiring fee!"

"That's true." Roy nodded. "Okay, I'll go."

With promotion to a senior position imminent, this well-paid task is still worth doing.

However, when they went to the mission center together to inquire about the details from the deacon apprentice, several groups of people suddenly arrived.

They also came with the mission of clearing the west coast.

"A lot of murloc tribes suddenly appeared over there. It might be the result of witchcraft energy radiating to the outside world..."

"Rumor has it that when the Cretaceous Nation exploded last year, a lot of materials passed through the void and fell somewhere on the west coast...

That's the reason for the monster riot!"

"Is this true? If I could pick up a few, wouldn't I make a fortune?"

"That's wishful thinking. We have the Astral Void to shield us! But even if something slips through the net, the residue and debris will be of unimaginable benefit."

"Of course, where is the Cretaceous Country? It's where the great wizards tried to create life! There are all kinds of precious materials!
And I heard that the forbidden experiment is not about creating ordinary life, but about creating souls, human souls!"

"what?"

Okemi, translated as "alchemy", is a mystical thought derived from the philosophy of chemistry.

Among the so-called four ultimates, creating life, or more specifically "creating humans", is the core content of "Creativity".

That is a forbidden technique, enough to challenge the authority of the gods.

And creating a soul is the most taboo among taboos!

Especially the human soul!
Now some people say that the forbidden experiment is related to it?
"I was wondering why everyone was so enthusiastic. Turns out it's not just about hunting murlocs!"

Renien suddenly realized.

"You know what, I also want to..."

"It would be great if I could make a fortune!"

Niya and Andov said with anticipation.

Even Roy couldn't help but be moved.

At that moment, everyone accepted the task together and went out to explore with hope.

Their purpose is similar to that of others, which is to try their luck there while completing the mandatory tasks.

Unexpectedly, this trip turned out to be a failure.

Although it is far from being said that "there are more people than monsters", this kind of herding behavior still allows the mission location to be reached first and cleaned out.

The group had no storage magic tools and their journey was limited, so they could only hunt down a few murloc scout teams and then hurriedly set out on their journey home.

……

On the way, another group of people also came back riding on undead warhorses.

That was the team of Portning and others.

Similar to Roy and the others, they accepted the mission of hunting down the murloc warlock, hoping to solve the Wuta's assignment while trying their luck outside.

In the small valley near Wuta, neither side saw each other and approached each other at a fork in the road.
