Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 607: Gaining Talent Again (2 in 1)

"Could it be that the flesh and blood of the nobles of this world contain the essence I need?"

Roy felt a little confused and began to explore the essence of this.

I have verified it many times before. Directly killing people cannot obtain source essence.

but why?
Why does it work this time?
Also, the presence of clearly human remains in the sacrificial pit could also...

and many more!

Roy suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a possibility.

He raised his head and said, "Sir Fait, this gem is quite good. Did you refine it?"

"That's not the case. I bought it in Wuta."

Fait explained.

"However, this is a top-quality soul-sucking magic crystal, which is not comparable to ordinary goods.

If it weren't for the fact that keeping the city lord's soul would be of some use, I wouldn't be willing to use it."

"I see."

There was a strange glint in Roy's eyes.

The Soul-Snatching Magic Crystal is a container.

The bones in the sacrificial pit are sacrifices, but they are also containers.

There are also the past Thunder Eye, Stitched Heart, Humanoid Angel, Puppet Movement, Sky Fragment, Destiny Seed...

In essence, they are all containers!
Some commonalities are emerging.

Combining his experiences in the previous worlds, Roy had a vague guess.

"The knowledge and abilities that legendary hero possessed during his lifetime might have included this refined and purified forging technique!
A part of his soul is turning into tiny particles and flowing to me.

This process requires a 'container'.

Especially the 'container' which also carries the concepts of artificial forging and alchemy.

Otherwise, it will be like a dissipated soul, not accepted by the gods!"

When he was in the world of Astor, he had seen with his own eyes that the basic condition for believers to enter the kingdom of God was recognized faith.

Source quality actually has similar characteristics.

Not all source substances are absorbed.

"Could it be possible that the great wizards working in the Cretaceous Nation were originally trying to 'create' souls...

Due to various reasons, the project failed...

But at the last minute, some effect was achieved.”

Roy continued to think.

"The effect is that, at the cost of sacrificing the lives and souls of the entire Cretaceous Nation and numerous wizards, my soul from another world was able to travel through time and become a 'product' in a sense!
That's why I can absorb the innate essence of the alchemy field freely without any hindrance!

Because from the perspective of the alchemy ritual, the forbidden experimental materials of the Cretaceous Nation are originally things that are compatible with the soul!"

As soon as this thought came to mind, Royton felt his soul tremble and his whole body felt inexplicably cold.

Fortunately, the Cretaceous Kingdom exploded!

Otherwise, as soon as I arrived in the Vizel world, I would be arrested immediately!

No, that's not right.

If the Cretaceous Kingdom had not exploded, a real, created soul would have been born!
There is no such thing as myself here!

Then, that "soul that was originally supposed to be created, but was replaced by itself"...

What exactly will it be?

Suddenly, a thought came to mind.

Coming back to his senses, Roy tentatively asked about Brembo, wanting to verify some of his guesses from the side.

Fayt said with a hint of surprise, "That's exactly what happened.

The legendary hero Brembo is a magic swordsman by profession and has superb swordsmanship.

But in addition to various combat skills, it also includes good alchemical abilities."

"Sir, how much do you know about the 'Legendary Hero Brembo'?
Would you mind telling me?"

“Of course, understanding the history and important figures of this world can also help guide actions.

I am planning to compile some information for everyone to study together.

There’s already a partial draft.”

While Fait was speaking, he took out a piece of information.

"Since you want to see it, I'll show it to you...

However, if you have time, please remember to help me sort it out."

Roy: "..."

Ok!

You really know how to seize opportunities!

……

After that, time flew by.

New news continues to arrive.

An army was approaching the city of Shalo.

The nearby lord Adela, along with a number of lords of all sizes from the surrounding areas, came to avenge the murder of the lord of Shalo City.

They are both descendants of the legendary brave Brembo and members of the "Noble Senate". They have been intermarried for thousands of years and have a very close relationship.

Once the city lord loses his position, they will unite and raise an army to fight.

Therefore, there is no possibility of a commoner rising up in this world, at least not from the perspective of war.

"Don't underestimate the unity now. Once we're defeated, we'll start internal strife!"

As a wizard with some experience, Roy saw through the nature of this so-called intimate relationship at a glance.

It's nothing more than the nobles uniting together.

This is not the furnace fire that tests true gold, and superficial unity does not mean that these city-state nobles can fight to the death for their common ideals.

After studying the information for a while and combining it with what he had learned in the past, he immediately concluded that it would be impossible to organize an effective resistance in a world without a unified empire.

The best outcome would be like the Tailin World, where each kingdom fights on its own.

The three senior wizards entrusted Urela with defense, while they returned to the outpost camp and hid secretly.

This place is a crucial landing site. Although all major worlds have various means such as prophecy and divination, during the battle, someone may have their mind read or their soul controlled, thereby leaking information.

However, if you can hide for a while, then hide it for a while.

So far, Urela and others have suddenly appeared as "bandits", killing people and seizing cities.

The natives' reaction was based on the mentality of "how dare these peasants cause trouble?", and they had not yet realized that the plane war had already begun.

"Each of you, contribute some of your resources to support Urela..."

During this period, senior wizards issued tasks.

To this end, everyone showed their strengths.

Mechanical wizard, summoning wizard, elemental wizard, necromancer.

Various instruments, creations, cannon fodder, potions, equipment...

Even Roy was confiscated a batch of meat mushroom demons and blood mercury at a fair price.

Roy was not enthusiastic about such things, but he was concerned about the outcome of the campaign.

Because according to his inquiries, Adela, who led the army to conquer...

Maybe he also has "destiny"!
"If this person can defeat the wizards in the war and defend his country, then he can truly be called the protagonist of this world..."

As a result, new news came in just a few days.

“Adela, who came to conquer us, was defeated!

He abandoned his armor and fled in panic, leaving behind thousands of soldiers!"

When Roy heard the news, he immediately rushed to the battlefield to check.

At this moment, there was a lingering smell of gunpowder in the open space in front of Shaluo City.

Everywhere I looked, I saw corpses.

This means that not long ago, the indigenous army suffered an unprecedented defeat.

In order to avoid disrupting the overall situation, he did not secretly hunt down Adela, but instead patrolled around on the red-stained soil, searching for various corpses and artifacts.

Suddenly, there was a slight tingling pain between the eyebrows, and it was indeed the feeling of the essence pouring in.

[Alchemy Talent Acquisition (100%)] [Elemental Perception (Black Iron Level)]

[Can sense the distribution of elements in the surrounding environment, helping to identify and collect alchemical materials, limited to conventional materials]

Quetzalcoatl's bloodline talent already possesses similar abilities.

However, before, it was expressed in the form of [Elemental Imaging].

Unexpectedly, now that other conditions are triggered, everything becomes clear to me again.

Suddenly, Roy thought of something.

"Alchemy Formation"...

launch!

"Soul Refinement", taking human souls...

During this process, one undead soul after another was captured and refined into gems.

Along with an inexplicable feeling rising up, a mysterious power faintly stung his eyebrows, and the translucent illusory panel unexpectedly reappeared.

[Alchemy Talent Acquisition (10%)]

[Alchemy Talent Acquisition (20%)]

[Alchemy Talent Acquisition (30%)]

……

After being busy for a long time under the pretext of "helping to clean up the battlefield", Roy suddenly felt a shock in his body.

[Alchemy Talent Acquisition (100%)]

【Element Harmony (Black Iron Grade)】

[Mastering basic elemental harmonization techniques can balance elemental conflicts in alchemical reactions and increase the success rate of alchemy. This skill is limited to apprentice-level alchemy operations.]

Another small talent of the Black Iron level!

"why?
Why is this happening? "

These objects are contaminated with the essence..."

Roy's eyes turned to the devastated scene on the battlefield, but in the blink of an eye, they shifted away and returned to the corpses.

"Or, as previously proven, 'Killing is useless'...

Is it an illusion? "

He had no time to rejoice in his recent gains as he was already shrouded in confusion.

At this moment, Roy suddenly remembered that some stories about the legendary hero "Brembo" were mentioned in the materials he had read.

"He was a blessed hero, granted a legendary destiny, and had once performed the great feat of slaying the Demon King and saving the world...

After that, you will be blessed by the will of the world, and your descendants will prosper and be highly respected."

Speaking of which, the legendary hero is truly worthy of being a legendary hero.

His life experience is like getting the protagonist's script of this world.

From a country boy to someone who was entrusted with the task of saving the country in times of crisis and turning the tide.

After that, the king betrothed the princess to him and they lived happily ever after.

“But in fact, from the information I found, the legend seems to be far more than this.

During his adventure, he also formed many bonds with his teammates.

Female fighter, priestess, female magician...

There are even immortal species from the land of elves, the elves!
The brave warrior Brembo in his youth was also a bohemian being.

There's even a legend that the demon king he defeated was actually a lust demon from the second layer of hell, who had released many female monsters...

That guy was probably swinging a big stick all the way there!"

In fact, when Roy studied it, he was also shocked.

Where did the spies find the unofficial history? Could it be some frivolous literature bought from a street stall?

I saw an adult version of Brave Quest?

“But, no matter what, those so-called nobles are born with magical talents, and they can sense and use elemental power much more easily than ordinary people.

The spells they use are probably those of elemental wizards or evocation wizards..."

Roy immediately grasped the clue, found the wizard Urela who was in charge here, and asked about the specific situation.

"Are there any nobles among those you killed?"

"Of course not! There are quite a few armored knights out there, and they won't be easy to deal with!"

Urella complained.

“Actually, there’s no such thing as nobility or non-nobility.

In ancient times, the land was vast and the population was sparse. Most of the people were descendants of legendary warriors and local strongmen. Over the years, they intermarried and their descendants prospered. There were almost no descendants of ordinary people! "

Roy seemed to be thinking about something.

This brings us to another point of knowledge.

Models of population reproduction...

It supports the existence of "super ancestors"!

From the perspective of mathematics and population reproduction models, when the population was relatively small in the early days, the major ethnic groups continued to reproduce, migrate, and merge, and their genes continued to spread and merge.

According to probability and mathematical logic, after many generations, most individuals are likely to share some genes of their early ancestors.

It's like a branch of a tree that keeps branching out, but in the end, it can all be traced back to the trunk.

As he was thinking this, a messenger suddenly came with a message: "My lords, Lord Fait has summoned you. Please meet in the city."

Roy said hello and entered the city of Shalo with Urella and others to meet the senior wizard Fait who came here.

……

"Urella, you did a great job this time!"

In the City Lord's Mansion, Fait was praised highly.

“I hope to continue to work hard…”

Then, he said again.

"Next, we plan to establish a permanent base in the area around Shaluo City...

Our identity as outsiders will definitely be exposed, and may even have been exposed.

However, they can disguise themselves as a small group of wandering plane adventurers...

Because the transmission failed, they occupied a small town and took shelter there."

The colonizers' tactics are really timeless and there is nothing new about them.

Roy secretly sighed in his heart.

However, this is also because human nature is like this.

As expected, Fait explained, "From small bandits to interdimensional travelers, and then gradually expanding...

Step by step, anesthesia, confusion...

Until we have enough power to overthrow the world, then we will launch a large-scale attack!
Before that, we must make full use of the local nobles to lead the way, and we must prepare some healing potions, as well as various treasures that can prolong the lives of ordinary nobles and fulfill their wishes! "

Roy nodded secretly, completely understanding.

It is to fully exploit the advantages of witchcraft, just like the dumping tactics used by imperialist powers in the post-colonial era.

Thanks to technological means that are far superior to those of agricultural countries, it is possible that magical things like penicillin, which are more valuable than gold, will appear.

"Although this low-magic world has a lot of magic applications, it is still far behind wizards who conquer multiple planes in terms of high-end technology and comprehensive popularization.

It also failed to develop an industrial revolution in magical technology like the Arcane Empire of Akinila...

So, it’s not just the military…

It can crush you in every aspect!

But, after all, we only have a hundred or so people.

Be careful before getting follow-up support from the mainland! "

……

After the meeting, everyone received their orders and got busy again.

And Roy also began to try out his new talent.

He exchanged some knowledge about elemental potions from Fait, combined with his past understanding of "element refining", and began to debug something.

Something called "Elemental Potion".
