Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 47: Mercury Filled Blood
"Blood mercury is often found in activated artificial life forms...

After injecting blood mercury into yourself, your body will gradually acquire some of the characteristics of a construct and thus be strengthened.

This is also the principle of immunity to many toxins.

But the risks are obvious.

It is easy to cause a series of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as leukemia, scurvy, myocardial infarction, etc.

One must strive for excellence and refine blood mercury of high quality that can hold enough witchcraft energy, blood oxygen, blood sugar, etc., in order to avoid these sequelae.

To be on the safe side, don't replace too much at once. Try about 100 ml of water first. If the effect is good, continue to refine more."

Recalling the knowledge he gained from his bronze-level talent [Sulfur and Mercury Theory], Roy wrote and scribbled in his personal notes.

Before I knew it, various formulas and witchcraft symbols filled up more than ten pages.

Based on this, he calculated various parameters, and then carefully mixed and refined them.

The whole process is not complicated. What is really required is the precise ratio of sulfur and mercury, as well as the enchantment technology combined with witchcraft energy.

Because of the fluid nature of mercury, we also need to draw on the power of the 21st rune, Lakoz, which represents "water" and "flow".

This requires some knowledge related to "Activation".

Fortunately, Roy meets all these conditions.

……

The next day, at the residence.

"..."

As if muttering to himself.

It also sounds like the weeping of a ghost.

A low incantation echoed in the room.

Under the energy radiation of the magic circle, the scarlet color floated like the aurora, reflecting the mercury in the beaker.

Roy looked focused, his mental power locked onto it tightly.

He used the method of spiritual infusion to enchant it with a part of the spell model base modified from the "activation spell", and through the operation of the witch array, he gave it the magic power of activation.

After a moment, he took a glass rod and stirred it gently like chopsticks.

The color of the mercury in the cup began to change slowly, from bright silver to light red, and then continued to deepen.

Over time, the mercury darkened in color, eventually forming the deep scarlet color of blood mercury.

It glowed faintly under the illumination of the magic crystal chandelier, exuding a mysterious aura, and wriggling naturally as if it had life and spirituality.

"Looks like it's done!"

Roy used the knowledge gained from his bronze-level talent [Sulfur Mercury Theory] to identify the quality of the refined blood mercury. Then he extracted it into a special syringe.

His expression was focused and serious until there was not a drop of blood-mercury left in the beaker.

“Start trying!”

As the dedicated injection device pierces the skin, a cool sensation is pushed into the veins in the arm.

Roy suddenly felt as if he was frozen.

But immediately afterwards, the witchcraft energy contained in the blood mercury was activated, and life energy was released along with various nutrients.

He felt a warmth as if he was soaked in warm water.

Roy stood up, pulled out the needle, stretched his muscles, and then tried to clench his palms.

Because the witchcraft energy and spiritual power injected into it remotely sensed each other, he could clearly feel the blood mercury flowing in his body.

“Seems to be stronger!

But it doesn’t come from muscle and fascia, it comes from life energy!”

Roy remembered the principle of further improvement after becoming a senior knight and being promoted to a grand knight.

The so-called Great Knight was actually originally the result of the transformation of the wizard body.

That is the only warrior profession in the wizarding world that can break the limits of the physical body and possess a wizard-level physique.

It relied on the vast amount of life energy gained after the transformation, rather than simply bones and muscles. Roy slowly clenched his fist, trying to control the flow of blood mercury into it.

After a while...

A faint blood light enveloped it like a red flame.

Although he didn't actually make a move, he also felt the surging power contained in it.

This mysterious power simulated by witchcraft energy is the knight's dream, the so-called "fighting spirit" triggered by the life energy seed!
If we say that the power of a spellcaster comes from the materialization of mental power.

Then, this "fighting spirit" is undoubtedly the manifestation of vitality and the foundation of melee professions.

“Although I am only at the intermediate knight level now, as the replacement ratio increases, I will definitely surpass the senior knights and progress towards the great knight.

By then, even if the life energy seeds are not used to transform the physical body, it will be enough to produce the same strengthening effect!
The day you completely replace thousands of milliliters of blood in your body, you will be on par with the great knights!"

This is the prediction brought about by the knowledge instilled in the mind.

……

After a quick taste, Roy went to the training ground and rented a separate small room for testing.

A red light flashed, and the fist shadow was as fast as lightning.

With a loud bang, the wooden board broke into pieces.

He swatted the fragments away expressionlessly, savoring the feeling of mastering the power just now.

“As expected, the 100 ml of blood mercury I tested gave me a total energy boost of about 0.1 degrees!

The next step is to continue replacing and carry out more in-depth strengthening and transformation.

But if that happens, there might not be enough magic stones.

We need to sell the fish beads of the Murloc Lord and get several thousand."

This is a big business. In the Okmi Wu Tower, there are very few apprentices who can come up with so much at once.

Even someone like Sophia might not necessarily be in demand.

However, if you sell it directly to Wuta, the price will be severely suppressed.

That is the choice when there is really no market and the product may become a waste of money.

It would be better to use the method of refining magic stones to extract the magic power inside.

“Roy, it’s great that you’re here.

I was just looking for you!"

Just when Roy came out of the training ground and was thinking about how to sell the fish beads for a good price, Renien ran over hurriedly and said to him.

Roy asked, "What's the matter?"

Renien said solemnly, "I just heard something. The bitch who hurt us is not dead. She escaped from Oren's pursuit and successfully returned!"

"Olinda is not dead?"

Roy looked surprised.

"Could it be that she has some magical item or special means?"

Renien said: "This speculation is very reasonable, and it can also serve as an explanation for another thing, that is, why Oren wanted to kill her and her companions...

It could be to kill people for treasure, or it could be to silence them."

Roy nodded: "Maybe it's both!"

"Let's go and settle the score with her!"

Roy greeted him and immediately walked towards the accommodation area for the intermediate apprentices on the second floor.

Not long after, the two knocked on the door of Olinda's residence, and then saw her open the door with a haggard look.

"What's the matter with you?"

Olinda didn't know what was going on and looked a little confused.
