Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 609 Source Material Container (2 in 1)

"You're right, we're recruiting heroes.

If a wizard skilled in Transfiguration were to sneak in and apply for the position at this time, who knows how it would end..."

In Sha Luo City, Roy also learned the news quickly and expressed his sincere emotion.

"How insidious!" Nisha couldn't help but say.

"What do you mean by insidious? This is called deception in war!"

Roy chuckled.

However, no matter what we say, it is difficult to send anyone to carry out this task without a suitable candidate in a short period of time.

After the chat, he didn't care much and returned to his temporary residence to continue with his own business.

Make "Dimension Beacons", repair magic carpets, refine and process minerals, and research data.

A lot of things are waiting.

In addition, he recently started a new research project, which is to collect various flesh and souls of the indigenous people of this world and try to refine some soul stones.

Including memory stones, experience stones, and even skill stones, all levels are involved.

The source of these materials is the result of previous wars. Necromancers have already collected them and made full use of them.

However, the quality of these things is not very high, and most of what we get from them is some messy and fragmentary knowledge.

However, I took the opportunity to learn a lot about the indigenous language and writing of this world.

It can be considered a somewhat useless harvest.

……

"It seems that the key lies in the 'container'..."

Another day, in the courtyard.

The black cat Domi squatted by the pond, staring at the fairy fish in the water, his fleshy paws opening and closing unconsciously.

Roy looked at it thoughtfully.

"Perhaps we can use the principle of attraction between source substances..."

He turned his attention to the fields of offering sacrifices and creating sacred artifacts.

In this field, there is a special item, similar to the statue that King Fram commissioned him to build before. It goes through the process of being promoted from an ordinary item to a semi-artifact or even an artifact.

This is also recorded in many religious texts and historical stories.

For example, items used by an incarnation of a god are left in the human world.

It was originally just an ordinary object, but because believers worshipped and commemorated it, it was regarded as a sacred object.

Over time, divinity accumulated.

This itself is also a process of faith consolidation and spiritual training.

For this purpose, Roy specifically consulted Fait and asked about related matters in a roundabout way.

"Spirit materialization?"

“Yes, I have heard that some great arcanists and the scientific world are trying to use atoms, molecules, and so on to construct a model of matter.

It is not difficult to understand that so-called matter is actually "empty".

When a person presses a stone with his fingers, it appears that there is contact between substances, but in fact, it is only the interaction between spirit and energy.

Some people also say that the world is actually illusory and that it is spiritual power that makes up everything. "

“That’s an interesting statement.

However, the great wizards explain that the most essential and basic force in the universe, and the only original thing, is the soul.

It's all the soul's fault.

Including mana and magic itself, which are also the components of the spirit of all things.

and so……

The witchcraft of the great wizard, spells above legendary level, the power of gods, etc., have the characteristics of creating things out of the void and making dreams come true.

Materialization is the iconic ability.

It can even be said that the essence of gods is also spiritual beings, and they can interfere with and influence matter through spiritual entities.

Moreover, everything in the world, including the human body and soul, is constructed in the same way!

The gods hold the power of faith and can collect spirituality from all living beings and transform it into their own divinity.

That's why, the more faith you have, the stronger your divine power will be!"

Fayt fundamentally confirmed many of Roy's guesses, and when he got to the point, he simply told him some more secrets.

For example, the world level, and the mystery of magical talent itself.

"In the beginning, the source essence was concentrated in heaven and earth, and it was the 'ancestor god' at the conceptual level of 'nature' that created this world.

Nature has spirit, and its consciousness disperses and transforms into all living things.

Whether it's gods, monsters, or humans...

As long as they belong to this world, they are essentially created by the will of this world and should have equal status.

This is why in ancient times, there was no distinction between humans and gods, or some creatures born early were more powerful.

But as history evolved, souls merged and spirituality crystallized, gradually becoming divinity.

The nature of spiritual gatherings causes these forces to concentrate into larger individuals.

This is the evolution of the world.

Until the god falls and dies, all things grow on it...

Repeat the process again!"

In a moment of trance, Roy felt that he had experienced a baptism of knowledge such as mythology, socioeconomics, and biology.

"So, I wasn't born with the power of alchemy!

The forbidden experiments of the great wizards, the creation of souls...

Is this essentially creating a god?"

This speculation may sound a bit narcissistic and incredible at first glance.

However, along the way, all signs indicate that this attraction to the alchemical source is the so-called faith!

I am like a conceptual god whose duty is alchemy.

"In that case, I should be able to make that kind of 'container'..."

He began to continue reading various books, drawing up designs and trying them out.

……

After some time.

Temporary residence, in the alchemy room.

In Roy's hand was a blood-red crystal the size of a fingernail, emitting a faint red glow.

The [Eye of Hermes] shone, revealing a golden thread in the middle of the white light.

But after a moment, this blood-colored crystal collapsed and disintegrated like rubble, shattering itself.

It failed!
Roy sighed.

This is the seed of blood power obtained from the Lord of Sha Luo City and his relatives and children.

I didn't expect that it would be so difficult to completely forge it into shape.

"The level of this thing seems to be even higher than previously expected."

Realizing this, Roy continued to work towards this goal.

However, perhaps the materials used were not good enough, or perhaps his own skills were too poor to easily control something of this level.

Roy's subsequent experiments all ended in failure.

The materials at hand were like water, all thrown into the experiment.

Even though he now has some financial resources and no longer has to worry about ordinary materials, he still temporarily lacks things like the city lord's essence and blood.

As a last resort, I can only think about other objects temporarily.

At this time, the route he took was actually close to the bones found in the sacrificial pits of Nasar Mountain.

He wanted to find out whether it was really "faith" that caused the gathering of source essence.

This is related to the manufacture of "containers".

******
In the blink of an eye, three months later. "Failed again!
This is the sixth time..."

Roy tried again and again, spending a lot of resources, and he couldn't help but start to waver, hesitating whether to continue.

Because even if you have [luck on you], there is no guarantee that you will succeed after 10 tries.

Every refining here is an independent random event.

If you really try to force your way through without a foundation for success, it is possible that you will fail twenty or thirty times in a row.

Although the probability of this happening is very low, every failure will result in an additional loss.

It is really impossible for me to keep trying unconditionally.

"Ugh!"

Roy stood up with a somewhat sad face and stretched out his body.

"Master, meow?"

Sensing his change in mood, Domi trotted over on tiptoe and rubbed his feet.

Then, she jumped into his arms.

Roy touched the cat's head, feeling the furry touch, and his heart warmed a little.

However, this still could not dispel the haze of failure that shrouded his heart.

"It is foreseeable that in the short term, it will be difficult to obtain available resources.

Is it too early to study these things now? Do we have to wait until we reach level three?"

Just as Roy was thinking this, Atidiya walked in.

"Lord Roy, three high-ranking wizards have come to the city again."

"okay, I get it."

These three usually stay at the outpost camp and won't run around unless necessary.

Now we have to have another meeting.

really.

After a while, Roy received a notice to attend the meeting.

……

"The latest news from Adela's 'Bristol Territory' is that the newly recruited hero, Nicodo, has already set out on his journey."

The three senior wizards, Lient, Fait, and Hisaliya, sat at the top of the hall of the City Lord's Mansion and explained to several second-level wizards in the room, as well as the first-level wizard Urella who was appointed as the "Demon King" here.

If an outsider came and saw this scene, he would probably be shocked.

But Urella, who got the "Devil's Script" and pretended to be the Lord of Shalo City, could only come at the last place here.

"According to the information sent by the spies, the opponent's strength is roughly equivalent to that of a Level 1 Upper Magic Swordsman. He has also taken the 'Sage Potion' and may break through to Level 2 at any time.

His companions are the Earth Knight Kailianduo, the Magician Muberan, the Warrior Kaililier, and the Priest Chawen...

They are all first-level professionals.

Among them, Kailianduo was the representative sent by the nobles, and the magician Muberan was the daughter of a noble from the "Ansno Territory" on the other side...

The other two, like the brave Nicodo, were born into commoner families."

"Perhaps we can use this to sow discord between them."

"Whether Sha Luo City can be defended or not is actually irrelevant...

The key is that the outpost camp must not be exposed."

Everyone present immediately thought of many things and started discussing.

Roy was concerned about something he had just mentioned: "Sage Potion?"

Fayt explained, "It's a specialty of this world. Rumor has it that the legendary warrior Brembo 3000 years ago also consumed it."

At this point, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of confusion: "Actually, this term is a free translation of the wizard's language, Weiser, implying a strengthening potion that can enable people to achieve comprehensive growth and approach perfection.

It is also possible that treasures such as the Philosopher's Stone were used as materials.

But according to various documents, this world often confuses the names of brave men with sages...

I don’t know if it’s due to language habits or some special historical origins.

For example, the first generation of heroes once changed their jobs to sages. "

Thisalia laughed and said, "That doesn't make sense. If that's the case, we should just call it the Magic Swordsman Potion."

Fait shook his head. "Perhaps a philosophical definition?"

This is a doubtful point.

However, this is an important meeting to discuss countermeasures and also serve as a pre-war mobilization meeting.

He could only suppress this doubt for the time being.

Fayt continued, "Mr. Malthus is still attempting to deploy the 'Net of All Souls'...

At the same time, the will that can be projected here also needs time to spread.

His instructions were to paralyze the strong people here for as long as possible before collecting various resources and building a plane teleportation array.

However, if more "dimensional beacons" are embedded in the earth vein nodes, it will inevitably cause major changes...

The various forces and powerful individuals here will definitely be alert, and we need a more reliable approach."

"Then let's play this game of 'Brave Warriors vs. Demon Kings' with them..."

Lient and others did not care about Roy's doubts and continued to discuss and make arrangements.

Next, everyone present showed their strengths, expressed their opinions, and contributed a lot of wisdom.

Roy considered it and tentatively offered a plan.

"Have you ever heard of the magical sword used by the legendary hero Brembo?"

"of course."

As the de facto commanders of the colonial corps, the three senior wizards were aware of this.

Others also have some understanding of it.

"Back then, Brembo didn't actually show much ability. It was only after he obtained that weapon and had a series of fortuitous encounters that he was fortunately promoted."

"It is said to be a sacred object, so it is also called the Holy Sword of the Brave."

"The legend is old and cannot be verified...

But we speculate that it is mostly exaggeration. It may be some legendary treasure that drifted from another world and accidentally landed here.

Or perhaps, it is a natural semi-divine artifact."

"That is indeed an important artifact that is indispensable in the history of this world...

But why bring it up suddenly?"

Fayt and others asked with some doubt.

Roy gathered his thoughts and said, "I'm wondering if we could forge this thing and create the illusion that 'only the Holy Sword can defeat the Demon King'..."

Is there even an atmosphere of 'only those who draw the holy sword are qualified to be called heroes'?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

"Are you trying to confuse people and make the situation more confusing?"

Fait asked.

Roy nodded.

You can't say that you want to use your power for personal gain and conduct some experiments, right?

"Incorporating the legend of the Holy Sword has both advantages and disadvantages..."

"If this holy sword were lost, it might really attract the attention of a powerful being!"

"But if it's hidden by the top leaders, they might just ignore it and treat it as a joke."

Everyone discussed this and discussed various possibilities.

As a result, the conclusion is that it might be worth a try.

Although they want to develop in a low-key manner, the act of planting a "dimensional beacon" itself is disturbing the energy veins of this world.

It's impossible to keep a low profile.

Under such a premise, creating something to confuse the public is indeed a good choice.
