Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 332 Aster World

“I think I understand…

When I go there, I will be one of the wizards under the teacher, not the students?"

Roy looked at the magic scroll in his hand. On the yellowed parchment, there was a license written in ancient characters. He thought about it.

After that, he followed the red-skirted ghost through a long, silent corridor and came to a room with a plaque that read "Aster Plane".

This is a relatively remote small plane. In the entire plane, there is only one world with life.

Atidia and Planje followed behind. Atidia was holding a golden plate in her hand, on which was a human head.

It was the "shell" built for the intelligent brain Celine.

This intelligent brain has begun to develop a faint spirituality and is in the stage of cultivating an artificial soul.

Roy did not put it away like an object, but left it outside, enjoying the free communication of mana with the heaven, earth and nature.

However, in order to prevent the tragedy of rat snakes from happening again, he spent a little money on additional protection.

The golden plate in Atidiya's hand is a special item engraved with a protective magic array, which can withstand the spatial impact during teleportation to a certain extent.

……

Soon after.

“Welcome to the world of Astor!

Mr. Roy, I am one of the deacon wizards guarding here under the command of Mr. Priss, Shelbury..."

Outside the teleportation array, a middle-aged wizard wearing a classical robe and a noble ring on his head said with a smile to Roy who had successfully appeared in the teleportation array.

"Mr. Shelbury, it's a pleasure to meet you."

After Roy adjusted to the environment a little, he nodded at the other party.

As expected, the mana between heaven and earth here is very weak, and instead, there is a special fluctuation that is hard to describe and slightly strange.

Under the influence of this special wave, the circulation of the source of magic power in the body seemed to be stagnant, and the witchcraft energy became difficult to mobilize.

He had never had such a clear feeling when he was in Knightland. It seemed that even though they were all low-level demons, they were divided into different levels.

"The Alliance has informed us of your arrival. We've already arranged temporary accommodations for you. If you'd like to, please allow me to show you around."

"Okay, thank you."

This Shelbury seems to be a talkative wizard, unlike those traditional wizards who are eccentric and not good at dealing with others.

Roy talked with him as they walked, and soon, Shellberry brought him to a huge golden carriage pulled by reindeer.

"please!"

After Roy and the others got on, the apprentice who had been waiting there urged the reindeer, and the entire frame seemed to be lifted up by an invisible force and floated up.

They seemed to be running on a transparent invisible bridge, but when they stepped on it, light bloomed and translucent shapes appeared.

Just like that, he flew steadily in the air.

"I believe you already have some basic understanding of the situation here. Next, we will temporarily rent you a castle, along with the servants within, and the nearby territory..."

Shellberry explained to Roy with a smile.

Because of the privateering license, most of the expenses incurred during the period were paid by the alliance. Unless Roy had additional needs, he would not have to spend any more money.

However, the two chatted during the period and confirmed that Roy's license was only valid for ten years.

If the deadline was exceeded, it wasn't just a matter of having to bear the costs, but it would involve other troubles. Meanwhile, the carriage pulled by the reindeer rose high into the air. Roy looked outside and saw a vast plain below.

On the distant horizon, a steam train could be vaguely seen spewing thick smoke and rumbling along the rails.

In the direction the train was heading, above a large city, factory chimneys stood tall and thick smoke billowed like dark clouds covering the city.

Below, people are busy running around like ants, showing a hustle and bustle and crowds that are different from the agricultural era.

Roy couldn't see the situation below clearly for the time being, but the strange yet familiar scene, which had already begun to show some signs of the embryonic form of modern civilization, still touched his heart slightly.

"Sure enough, it really is the era when the steam engine has been invented and popularized, and the Industrial Revolution is about to break out!"

"The locals don't care about environmental protection and emit thick smoke into the sky every day. There's really nothing we can do about it."

Shellberry looked at Roy in silence and thought he was unhappy, so he took the initiative to explain.

“However, a civilization that has developed to this stage does have its merits.

Especially those big cities are about to enter the era of electrification...

But there are many good things that are not available in our country!"

"Oh?"

Roy turned around and immediately heard him enthusiastically talking about various products that combined science and mysticism.

This place did not follow the trajectory of multiple industrial revolutions that we know of, but was rushing towards the interstellar age in a simple and crude way driven by a mastermind behind the scenes.

"You don't know how useful those magic-powered armors...the magic cannons, combined with body modifications, are!
The local great knight-level enhancement methods are indeed outdated. When I return, I will definitely buy a few more copies..."

Roy couldn't help but look thoughtful as he listened to the outgoing Sherbert talking about his plan as a "trader from another world".

Is this still the world I thought it was, the world of the steam industrial revolution, the world shrouded in the shadow of the evil god?
Sure enough, in the Wu Tower, those preconceived impressions are not worth it.

However, when Roy learned these conclusions that were different from his initial impressions, he was not worried but rather quite surprised.

It’s good to be developed!

In the developed world, there may be more opportunities!

Of course, if it develops far beyond its own capabilities, it will become an obstacle.

At this moment, Shelbury let out a light exclamation.

Roy also looked over.

But the place was covered with clouds and mist, like a dark cloud pressing down on a city, and strange black shadows like a tangled thread emerged.

The dark shadow, like a large ball of black wool, was suspended above the city like a sphere, with tentacles hanging down one after another.

From time to time, a faint white light could be seen rising slowly, and was actually hooked up by the tentacles, like an octopus catching food.

Watching this scene, Roy inexplicably felt a nauseous feeling in his heart, as if he had come into contact with a rotten octopus with a fishy, salty and smelly smell, and the smell was lingering.

Even his vision seemed to be polluted, and the scenes he saw became distorted for no reason.

"Oh no, it's the evil god Uzair..."

Without waiting for Shelbury's instructions, the apprentice quickly drove the reindeer to turn the car around and go around to the other side.

　There's another chapter, maybe a little later, half an hour?
