Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 535: Changes in the Situation

"I'm being transferred to the forest and have to guard a resource point..."

After the party, everyone dispersed and Garcia couldn't help complaining.

The alliance's tasks include investigation, guarding, clearing, production and so on.

This is relatively quiet and safe.

But Garcia was still not satisfied.

Because he was fine in the Kingdom of Gmid, it was a bit puzzling that he ran to that uninhabited forest.

Roy was also a little surprised by this.

But as an ordinary wizard, he had not yet had time to obtain the status of a free wizard, so he had to accept these transfers.

"That's called being forced to do things against one's will."

He did not agree with Garcia, but instead looked at the information he had just received.

This large forest west of Gestu is called Green Paradise in the indigenous language. It is a place rich in mineral resources and produces certain witchcraft resources.

The ten sawmills and two gem mines they were going to were part of the alliance's assets.

Those were captured in the early years and have been in stable production for many years.

"Unfortunately, no matter how good the resource point is, it is not ours."

Garcia said.

"This belongs to His Excellency the Great Wizard Tailin. Even the Governor Wizard does not have the right to own it."

By the way, Lord Roy, I think something is a little strange about this. No matter how you look at it, this is also a preventive measure before the war breaks out.

It seems that Lord Uller has recovered and wants to take action himself."

Roy asked, "How do you say that?"

Garcia said: “A few years ago, he fought a great battle with a third-level native warrior, killing one and injuring several others.

But he was also seriously injured.

With this arrangement now, they might even start taking action against the powerful indigenous people."

As he spoke, he sighed.

“Now, the natives have also learned their lesson.

Several third-level strongmen will definitely help each other and form a team.

And the second-level heartless people under their respective command may also take the opportunity to attack.

We might have to be drawn into some tough battles."

Roy heard this and remained silent.

He wasn't too worried about the situation.

After all, he was already a second-level wizard, but was being treated as a first-level wizard.

The situation itself is unlikely to pose any threat to me.

……

A few days later, Roy and Garcia moved to the forest and saw the logging camp and gem pit there.

The former is of less value, because only magical wood that has reached a certain age is useful to wizards, and the other products are ordinary materials.

Although it is called a logging site, it is actually mostly used for exploring forest resources, hunting and collecting herbs.

And the latter...

"Are these the two fire elemental gem pits?"

Both resource points are located below the same volcano and are very close to each other.

There are towering ancient trees all around and flames everywhere in the pit.

In the huge excavated pit, huge stones emitting a fiery red light are embedded in the soil. The rich fire element has condensed into an illusion visible to the naked eye, like gurgling magma.

These things are close to the level of "gasification", and a burning breath can be smelled from a long distance away.

When Roy and Garcia arrived, the workers were wearing protective clothing and holding special tools, going down into the pit and mining carefully.

Everyone felt like they were working in a steel mill, and soon they were drenched in sweat.

"My Lords, this is a small token of my appreciation..."

The elite apprentice who was originally in charge of this place smiled broadly as he presented a small box of cracked gemstones. He didn't have the guts to openly embezzle gemstones of the first level or higher, worth over ten thousand each.

But I got a lot of second-rate ones.

Roy took a quick look and found that there were as many as 50 of them, which was enough for him to synthesize several first-level gems.

I accepted it without hesitation.

……

a few days later.

There is a treasure mine in the forest and in front of the hill.

A portal made of silver light stands.

Just like a complicated magic circle showing the entrance to the space, as ripples like water waves appeared, Roy's figure emerged from it.

Level one "Death Ray Magic Eyes" and many level zero "Magic Light Cannons" floated nearby, patrolling closely.

Sensing the breath, it slowly gathered together.

Roy ignored these puppet creations and looked down.

The workers were still busy, and Freya took her black cat Domi to the forest to pick mushrooms.

The surroundings are peaceful and tranquil, like a paradise away from the world.

But Roy was very clear-headed.

Beneath this peaceful appearance, wizards are invading and plundering the mineral resources here.

Although modern wizards no longer directly enslave local indigenous people like in ancient times, they disguise themselves as "employed".

However, the hard work day and night and the heavy shift work still ruthlessly squeeze the workers' health and time and energy.

After their value has been squeezed out, they will be sent back to their hometowns just like the apprentices were sent back to their places of origin, to reproduce.

They raised their children and grandchildren with great difficulty, and then willingly sent them here to continue serving the wizard.

If someone gives birth to a talented person, he or she may even be recruited as an apprentice and achieve a reversal in life.

However, the natives seem to be completely unaware of the nature of these practices, and may even feel honored and complacent about them.

Harmonious, friendly and long-term stable rule was thus achieved.

After gazing down for a while, Roy withdrew his gaze and thought about his "gem refining" and the "advanced element matrix" core in his hand.

The reason why he can make the best of things is because he has the talent of alchemy, so he can thrive wherever he goes.

"You can collect some gem fragments and debris that won't attract attention...

And there’s…”

His mind moved slightly, and his perspective suddenly changed. He followed the "secret mark" and came to a lava cave several thousand meters deep underground.

"Break through!"

The steel giant beast burst out of the wall and came to a place filled with flames and fire.

There is a lot of mineral soil here, containing gem dust and fragments.

Without the need for mind control, the steel behemoth triggered the program engraved in its core and began digging.

This is Dadarul’s main business.

Roy's superiors never imagined that he would have such a professional large-scale excavation tool in his hands.

If it were replaced with magic crystal ore, it would be too important and the defense might be tighter.

Roy is not easy to come up with either.

But only elite apprentices reside here permanently.

He won't be polite.

He was not at all worried that the underground vibrations might trigger abnormal monitoring.

If you ask, it's an earthquake. If you ask again, he will get angry.

However, before the good days of "rat entering the granary" that Roy had imagined could begin, Igor sent a secret message.

"Roy, this is bad!
Lord Uller...

He was plotted!
The situation here may change drastically. If you can leave, leave now. If you delay, you might get into big trouble!"
