Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 365: Adventure in the Castle
Roy roughly identified the marks left by these later comers and looked around.

Soon, he found a room sealed by a secret barrier and walked in.

"here it is……"

Mutrik's eyes lit up.

He didn't know what was going on. He just saw Roy taking him around in the castle as if he had foresight.

Suddenly, I found a secret door and walked in.

This place is actually like a woman's boudoir, and after hundreds of years, it is still brightly lit and looks as good as new.

"This...how is this possible?

This must be an extraordinary power!
Hundreds of years have passed, transcending time...

Like an eternal and unchanging power!"

Mutrik looked at it with great excitement. He touched here and looked there, as if he wanted to explore the mysteries hidden in the castle.

Roy looked at him speechlessly.

It's just a small wizard formation at the advanced apprentice level, with some kind of magic crystal energy supply similar to solar energy.

Over the past few hundred years, there have been many wizards and sorcerers coming and going here, but everyone has a strong sense of public morality and has not arbitrarily destroyed the arrangements made by their predecessors. Some even take the initiative to repair them.

This mainly depends on the quality of tourists...

It's not a high-tech thing.

really……

There is no knowledge, but magic everywhere.

"This is……"

Suddenly, Roy's attention was attracted by a portrait of two people on the bedside that looked like a wedding photo.

It was a small-sized framed oil painting, depicting a couple taking a photo together in a classical style, with a mystical mark of faint spiritual fluctuations engraved in it.

"My dear, true love is invincible...

But it is hard to resist the passage of time..."

Roy stared at the painting. The wizard Whilt in it had a gentle expression, and his eyes seemed to contain endless affection as he looked at the woman beside him.

The woman's smile was bright, but with a hint of sadness.

She also seemed to know Whit's identity as a mysterious person, and knew that the two of them were destined to be separated if they were together.

The portrait has turned yellow like a photo due to age, and the traces of time have made the faces of the two people slightly blurred, but the affectionate atmosphere is impressive.

This "secret mark" contains the self-introduction of the Huilt wizard.

"I am an ordinary bloodline wizard from Sangris Wuta. I came to this world of Astor by chance.

I met a secular woman here who I loved, married her and had children with.

Originally, I just regarded it as a romantic encounter during vacation, intending to accompany it for three to five years, and then naturally "die" to get away.

But later, I found myself falling in love, hopelessly in love with her.

We spent a happy time together, and our eldest son, second daughter, and youngest son...

Everything is heading towards a happy ending.

However, at the age of 33, she was diagnosed with a terminal illness...

Although my bloodline magic can recreate a new body...

However, the inherent flaws of brain transplant surgery cause irreversible damage to brain tissue...

I began to seek the secrets of the soul and explore ways to harness spiritual resonance within the realm of art...

Immortality...”

The marks behind are becoming increasingly blurred.

The whole story was not complicated. Roy looked at it and immediately understood that it was a brain tumor similar to Celine's.

Even for wizards, this kind of life and soul transplantation surgery is definitely not omnipotent. Especially when performed on fragile mortals, it is more likely to lead to unpredictable consequences.

Wizard Whilt's wife eventually died.

Combined with what Roy learned later, Wizard Whilt also died in a plane war somewhere and completely perished.

But he left behind some of the mysteries of the soul realm that he had studied, which are the existence of the so-called "soul paintings".

Considering the context, it is not difficult to guess that it is a way to utilize the spiritual resonance in the field of "art" and seek a lasting method of spiritual sustenance.

Through some special techniques, the spirit is left in the artwork, forming a kind of "secret mark".

This "secret mark" can inspire responses and play a role similar to a faith node.

"So, the soul pigment I obtained through [Inspiration] was derived from this..."

Suddenly, Roy was startled.

"This portrait... is strange!"

It might be difficult for ordinary people to notice the abnormality, but when he looked at it with the Eye of Hermes, he actually found a ray of golden light.

Normally, ordinary wizards or mages who came here and saw this existence without any magical aura would not pay too much attention.

But Roy managed to feel something similar to soul paint from it, and thus realized the mysterious factors hidden in it.

A faint tingling sensation came, and the long-lost translucent panel suddenly appeared out of thin air.

[Alchemy Talent Acquisition (100%)]

Sephiroth!

It actually contains the source of alchemical talent!
Soon after, information emerged.

[Making the Most of Everything (Black Iron Level)]

[When refining fails, at least 35% of the consumed materials can be recovered. This effect is limited to level items.]

"Weak ribs?"

Seeing the information displayed on the virtual panel, Roy frowned and thought for a moment.

Immediately, his eyes lit up.

"No, this is good stuff!"

At first glance, this new alchemy talent seems really useless.

The effect is limited to level zero items...

But if you understand clearly, level zero items include all miscellaneous items, as well as magic items below level one, magical treasures, and even various basic raw materials...

You will understand how powerful this is.

Many alchemy attempts failed because the materials were destroyed by powerful energies or contaminated by witchcraft energies and became unusable.

But this talent can actually improve the process, save it from destruction or pollution, and recycle it...

This greatly saves the cost of low-level alchemy, and can be regarded as a strategic-level ability similar to [Skilled Worker]!
"Use it in gem synthesis, combined with [Luck Favor]...

It's a perfect match!
[Inspiration] and [Unexpected surprises], you can also learn more knowledge and collect more special products!

Even better, consider this...

If gold sand appeared in a river, and you could pan for some scattered gold...

So, what's going to be upstream?"

Those who drink water must think of its source.

Roy couldn't help but wonder, why was there no alchemical source anywhere else, but there was one here?
Who put it here anyway?
After a little thought, the answer is obvious.

It is the resonance of emotion and art!
Visitors were touched and left with their "impressions".

And these feelings, like the sedimentation of longing, formed residues similar to holy relics.

Or perhaps it was the "soul painting" that was taking effect, just like a god spreading teachings, collecting faith, and influencing one "person" after another!
Therefore, certain powers within the human spirit gather here and condense into source matter!
