Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 276 Orc Soldiers
“After taking the ‘Gift of the Holy Mountain’, my mental strength is around 20 degrees.

With the residual effect of the medicine and the natural growth over the years, it gradually reached 25 degrees...

But now, through the use of experience stones, it seems that my life level has increased and is almost reaching 27...

Then, if you wear a pair of wisdom gemstone rings, it will be around 32 degrees!"

Roy suddenly remembered that the Experience Stone could indeed improve life level and increase mental strength.

This improvement is due to the accumulation of a large amount of knowledge, which leads to the growth of the soul's foundation.

This is actually a type of natural growth that can be amplified by magic treasures or various witchcraft and secret techniques.

But generally speaking, wizards don't use too many of these things at once.

Because in a sense, items such as the Memory Stone, Experience Stone, etc. are all "toxic".

The accumulation of a large amount of knowledge and experience will form spiritual "toxins" in the mind.

"A 'poison' can be defined essentially as a substance that can interfere with or disrupt the normal physiological functions of an organism.

Sometimes, an excess of normal substances can be poisonous.

Just like a proper amount of water is necessary for life, but excessive intake in a short period of time will lead to hyponatremia, commonly known as "water intoxication".

High concentrations of oxygen can also lead to oxygen toxicity, which can damage cells and tissues.”

Roy couldn't help getting excited when he thought of this.

"According to this, memory and knowledge are indeed essential nutrients for human growth.

Wizards have always been careful about poisoning, so they have never considered it as a way to increase their spiritual attributes!

But what if I could use the Eye of Hermes to identify, refine and purify it, and alleviate this harm?

That way, I will have more endurance than other wizards and can use more Experience Stones in a short period of time..."

This is a way to grow quickly.

Because potions that directly increase spirits are not so easy to refine.

And the brains of living things, especially humans, humanoids, and subhumans...

Everyone has a brain.

Why hasn't the wizarding world fully utilized this kind of thing?

This is because the toxicity is difficult to eradicate.

If it weren't for that, many wizards would have done that long ago in order to become stronger without any taboos!
At this moment, Roy, who was lost in thought, was suddenly startled by a loud noise from outside.

He came to the window and looked out cautiously, only to find that a group of imperial soldiers wearing heavy armor and riding thunder dragons were galloping across the street.

These are all orc warriors at the level of senior knights or above, and the leading team leader is at least at the level of great knight.

Even if placed on the plane battlefield, it is a powerful legion comparable to the former Centaur Legion.

If they were paired with the heroic generals that Knightland lacked, then even a few hundred soldiers would be enough to defeat a vast army!

"Where are all these soldiers going?"

Roy looked out of curiosity in the direction they were running, only to see a caravan being quickly dispersed.

The imperial soldiers rushed and crashed almost deliberately, then jumped off the Thunder Dragon and started looking for trouble.

"Are you blind? Can't you see that I'm on a mission?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? It was you who hit me!"

Inside the caravan, a hot-blooded young orc stood up angrily.

"Rem, stop talking nonsense!"

A middle-aged orc who looked somewhat similar to him stood up and scolded him, but then he put on a smile and apologized, saying, "We couldn't dodge in time... I'm so sorry!"

"Sorry? Do you think you can get away with just saying a bland apology?"

"That's right, there's no such thing as something that cheap!"

"At least hand over all your food!"

A young orc officer who looked burly came out and said with ill intentions.

"What?" The orcs in the caravan all changed color.

……

"It's started again. I've been traveling a lot lately, and I've seen officers and soldiers from the Orc Empire collecting food quite a bit.

Are they preparing for a future large-scale invasion of Knightland?"

A world is like an isolated island. Stepping out of the sea of stars and embarking on the great era of space travel is a necessity for the development of almost all planes and worlds.

Only by launching a plane war in the outside world can we obtain enough resources and knowledge.

Even the orc world, which seems a bit barbaric and backward, has actually conquered many worlds in this dimension, creating the tiger people, lion people, bear people, werewolf people, pig people and other tribes.

They are not closed, on the contrary, they have a very strong desire to expand outward.

This time, the teacher sent me to kill Yanis in order to stop their expansion into the world of Knightland.

"Large-scale wars are not that simple. Is this grain collection for future preparations?
Compared to low-magic worlds, or even completely mundane wars, worlds of this level can already utilize methods like Carrick Beasts or space capsules to transport food and supplies..."

Planar wars often involve many magical abilities, especially spatial teleportation and storage methods.

Of course, basic agriculture and food supply are essential.

"Tuval is expected to become a major tax payer and rise from this point on!"

However, these things have little to do with me.

Roy just looked for a moment and then closed the window.

……

"Lord Roy, something just happened outside. The imperial soldiers are collecting food everywhere."

Not long after, Planjie returned and talked about her experiences in collecting intelligence outside.

Sure enough, he mentioned what had just happened.

"In your opinion, is this an official act of the Empire?"

"Their productivity is backward and their social structure is very primitive. It's like they're robbing us."

Planjie said with a bit of disgust.

"This is totally barbaric behavior."

Roy laughed dryly.

"But even barbarians don't usually pay taxes or grain!"

……

For Roy and others, this kind of thing was just a small episode in their journey and they didn't take it seriously at all.

However, the next day, they had just come out of the hotel and went to the tavern to inquire about the news as usual, when they saw the middle-aged orc they had seen yesterday running hurriedly and saying something to the boss.

The boss looked surprised and immediately put up a notice board.

"Recruiting heroes...

Take back the food..."

After a little inquiry, Roy and the others found out that the orc soldiers who came to collect food yesterday not only robbed the caravan of food, but also injured and killed many of their compatriots.

The leader could no longer tolerate this and finally decided to fight back.

But with their abilities, they were completely unable to deal with the orc heavy cavalry, so they had to seek help from the helpful orc heroes.

"This level of governance is too low. They actually blatantly hired people to deal with officers and soldiers?"

Roy couldn't help but complain secretly.

But soon, his eyes lit up slightly.

"It's time I found an excuse to confront the official power of this world!"

　I will update 3 chapters first, and there should be more in the evening...
