Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 335 Snow Castle in the Deep Mountains
The next day, August 8th.

Roy ended a night of meditation and came to the nursery in the castle.

There was mist rising and warmth everywhere, and the climate was completely different from the outside world.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look outside. Just at this moment, the weather had turned bad again, and snowflakes like catkins had begun to float.

"Is this geothermal heat drawn from below?"

Soon, Roy noticed something and came to the copper pipe hidden on the other side that he had sensed with his mental power.

Sure enough, the heat was coming from here.

"Indeed, sir."

Yolanda, the pregnant woman who was following beside him and the wife of a former coffee merchant, said.

"This is quite a large project."

Roy nodded.

"That's good, it will provide favorable conditions for the growth of the Kreo mushrooms."

This kind of mushroom originally grows in hot and humid soil and water. The orcs' land is generally in subtropical areas, and various caves and valleys meet these conditions.

Roy originally thought that there was no suitable place nearby.

"When you plant these things, remember to strictly abide by the regulations above, otherwise accidents may occur."

Yolanda took the spore sac and a long list of precautions from Roy and couldn't help but read them.

After being subtly influenced by various forces, the writing and language chosen by this world are the universal language. Therefore, Yolanda, who was once a middle-class lady, can also read some instructions full of magical terms.

"These mushrooms will eat people if they're really hungry. Do we need to water and feed them promptly?"

"There are also mimic growths, all kinds of flesh and blood..."

"Clone humans and use their defective corpses as food!"

Yolanda touched her plump chest and felt the beating violently inside.

The world of the mysterious is indeed beyond the imagination of mortals.

……

On the other side, Ophelina, the former Countess of Zitong Mountain, was also carefully selecting various minerals according to Roy's instructions.

These are some resources left behind by successive generations of wizards in the castle warehouse.

They may have discovered some minerals, then put down a few puppets and dug day and night for several years or even more than ten years. After obtaining some resources, they came to collect them. If they didn't want the remaining ones to take up space rings, they would just throw them here.

Although the overall value is not high, there are quite a few common minerals among them, such as copper, iron, aluminum, zinc and the like.

Especially copper and aluminum, once they are taken to the outside world, they can be used directly as money.

Roy also knew that most of these items were worthless, but since he had the Eye of Hermes, he couldn't help but want to give it a try.

Earl of Copper Mountain?
As the name suggests, the family heritage comes from a wealthy copper mountain and belongs to an old noble family who owns a mine.

So, about screening the minerals...

Just leave it to her!
In a sense, Roy was indeed "using" them.

labour is the honour.

……

"The environment here isn't good either. It's too cold, and mushrooms can't grow..."

A few days later, Roy, accompanied by Spalding, brought a few people to the place where Creo mushrooms were grown outside.

The entire nursery was covered with a simple shed and had no other heating facilities.

As expected, there was no sign of mushroom growth at all.

Roy's spiritual power probed into the culture medium, which was a mixture of sawdust, wheat bran, gypsum and other materials.

"When I was in the Osis plane, I always left things to Ivant and Celine...

It seems that I will need to train some apprentices in the future!

But this is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. It would be great if mushrooms could grow continuously on their own, just like the mushrooms in the mushroom house. "Roy had considered creating artificial humans made from mimic meat mushrooms, using implanted memories to create cheap labor."

But after actual experience, I realized that this method is too high-end and too wasteful.

In contrast, colonizing an entire country or even the world provides a constant supply of people and resources.

This is a common practice in the wizarding world.

The governor wizards who were guarding the town also made a living by relying on the mountains and the water, and developed a witchcraft system that suited them.

"Forget it, let's talk about this later. First, let's find a way to give the Kreo mushrooms cold resistance and create a special variety that can grow successfully in ice and snow!"

Roy didn't say much.

He didn't have anyone to talk to, so he seemed a little silent.

……

As time went on, the servants in the castle gradually got into their roles.

Roy carefully selected a few servants who had some knowledge and could help him.

It’s not about “training to be an apprentice” or anything like that, it’s just simply giving them some information and teaching them knowledge.

This kind of thing can actually be replaced by using the Memory Stone and the Experience Stone. Just like in the past, they have been used to refine the Knowledge Potions and cultivate Fenli.

But, that potion costs money.

It was the wizarding world's wealth that was spent.

Just throwing some information at them can truly test their talent and learning attitude.

Roy planned to spend at least a year to slowly select maids who were worth training, and then consider the knowledge potion.

This also leaves enough time for copying and manufacturing, and to prepare for the refining of skill stones.

Although he had many backup copies of the Memory Stone in his hands, he had even packaged and organized them into a knowledge system.

But many things cannot be accomplished overnight, and cannot be done immediately after thinking of them.

……

Another day, in the alchemy room.

",..."

(Activation…)
White mist is thick and energy is surging.

With the infusion of the witchcraft energy of "activation", another activation drug filled with strange power appeared.

Roy picked up the test tube and took a look. Inside the transparent glass tube, the solution was as white as milk.

The foam inside is rich and delicate, and there is a faint fluorescence in it.

After a moment, he handed it to Atidiya who was beside him.

“Package into 12 portions, label and seal.

Feed Celine the rest."

True artificial intelligence...

Voice control...

Atidia was quick and efficient and quickly completed the packaging requirements.

Roy sat aside and watched Atidiya pick up the "Girl's Skull" and carefully feed it the potion.

This is a container carved from jade. In essence, it is actually a living fossil statue that needs to rely on the energy of activation to maintain power.

As for what biological intelligent brains need, they need other nutrients and energy.

Roy was thinking about his next plan.

"My 'base', even if it's temporarily set up here...

This 'snow castle' is actually not bad, but it's still far inferior to the mansion in the Wu Tower..."
