Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 614 Confirming the Conjecture (4 in 1)

In just a few days, wars broke out one after another outside the city of Shaluo.

After obtaining the holy sword, Starger indeed showed his unstoppable courage. He killed many enemy generals in a row and completely defeated the army of Shalo City.

Uriel and the others were reluctant to show their full strength, and were even more afraid of being hurt by the "Holy Sword", so they had no choice but to act like "invincible at the sight of the wind".

This greatly boosted the morale of the other side and further solidified the name of the so-called Holy Sword.

At this time, in the military camp.

The general was giving Starger a banquet to reward his bravery.

"Mr. Starger, please allow me to express my highest respect to you. You have really helped us a lot this time!"

"Yes, if it weren't for you charging into battle, we wouldn't have been able to achieve such a brilliant victory."

"Your reputation will surely be praised by the world..."

These minor nobles from the Bristol Territory offered all kinds of nice words as if they were free, and then took turns to come forward and toast.

In comparison, on the other side, Nicodo and others were undoubtedly greatly neglected.

If it weren't for the fact that they were still considered to be upper-middle-level strong men, they probably wouldn't even be qualified to attend the banquet.

After all, this big victory had nothing to do with them.

The magician Muberan and the warrior Kaililier couldn't help but look gloomy and unhappy.

Priest Cha Wen also sighed, but didn't say much.

The Earth Knight, Kailiandor, said to everyone with a somewhat sarcastic tone, "If we had known that the enemy army was vulnerable, we should have taken action in time.

Now, the limelight has been stolen by others, right? "

Nicodo touched his nose slightly embarrassedly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

……

At this moment, Roy quietly came to the camp, used hypnotic glasses to control ordinary soldiers, and sneaked in.

He was pretending to be an ordinary local aboriginal youth, just like when he pretended to be the orc Luker in the past, wearing a "leather suit" and it was completely seamless.

Relying on his powerful charm, Roy asked someone and soon found out where the banquet was held.

So, he found the sergeant who was about to go in with the wine jug, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Leave this to me, you go and have a rest first."

Sergeant: "Well, who are you?"

He was about to ask something, but Roy smiled at him and he immediately forgot about it.

I just stood there stupidly, my head full of one thought.

He is so warm!

Roy came to the banquet with wine in his hand, approached Starger and the holy sword he had made.

This is completely bullying the low-magic world because of its backward technology and no one can see through its disguise.

Facts have proved that no one was prepared for this. Instead, Starger was somewhat concerned about the holy sword and kept it tightly held from beginning to end.

"This guy!"

Roy waited for a long time but didn't get any chance. He was getting impatient and secretly activated the Killick Ring.

"Dominate humanity"!
Under forced control, he drank several large glasses of wine and finally got this reckless rookie warrior drunk.

Only then did he take advantage of the opportunity to help and successfully touch the holy sword.

As a result, the moment he touched it, he felt like he was electrocuted and couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Mysterious energy surged in secret, bringing with it a familiar, faint tingling sensation between the eyebrows, stimulating a translucent illusory panel to emerge.

[Alchemy Talent Acquisition (100%)]

【Basic Enchantment (Dark Iron Level)】

[Master the basic enchantment skills and be able to add simple magical effects to items, limited to regular items]

"Another Black Iron-level talent!

It's also a replica of "enchantment magic" in traditional witchcraft!"

In fact, [aesthetic value] and [unexpected surprise] are vaguely similar to it.

[Inspiration] had already expanded Roy's abilities, solidifying his foundation so that he no longer relied on this basic ability.

The bronze-level [Sincere Brothers] can even give alchemical items special properties through enchantment.

Gaining this kind of power now can be considered useless.

But Roy's excitement and joy for this surpassed the feeling of obtaining gold-level or even origin-level talents in the past!

Because he finally verified the guess he had always had.

Speculations about the source of talent essence!
"It really is like the bones in the sacrificial pit...

The Essence has been generated!"

He quickly made many associations based on this, further confirming many of his previous guesses.

……

Not long after, Roy left quietly without disturbing anyone.

The "Holy Sword" has begun to carry the mission of the "Source Container", and of course it will remain in its original place and continue to play its role.

However, shortly after this, he was suddenly called by Fait.

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

He had just verified his hypothesis and was about to start a number of experiments.

Unexpectedly, Fait informed him: "Stagger died just now."

"What?" Roy looked a little surprised. "It was done so quickly?"

"No, it wasn't our people who did it."

Fait took out a fist-sized crystal ball, waved his hand, and images appeared on it, reflecting what was happening in the camp.

The drunk Starger returned to his residence holding the holy sword, feeling dizzy and falling asleep.

He was really drunk and even lost his vigilance.

His companions didn't pay much attention to him.

These people are just temporary partners, not true friends who have gone through life and death on the journey of battle and forged deep friendships.

They actually left him there alone.

A man wearing leather armor and a leather helmet slipped in, stabbed him with his sword cleanly and quickly, and killed him on the bed in a blink of an eye.

Then, the man left the screen with the holy sword, and the whole process took no more than 10 seconds.

"Very quick and decisive. Clearly this wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision, but was specifically targeted at him!"

After watching this scene, Roy sighed inwardly.

"To be precise, they are going after the treasure you refined."

Fait said to him.

“This kind of thing can be considered a good treasure in the low-magic world.

The people in this world have some strength, but they don't have the strengthening method like us to transform their witch bodies and eliminate their weaknesses, so their bodies are fragile and not very strong.

Perhaps, we can make good use of this and kill all their strong men..."

As he spoke, he suddenly gave Roy a new task.

“I’m going to give you some high-quality materials, and you can try to create a treasure.

It doesn't need to be very powerful, as long as it is genuine enough to attract the attention of the natives.

Perhaps we can take advantage of their technological weakness, penetrate their rear, and create an advantage..."

"Yes!"

Roy looked at him in surprise, but then thought of some of his plans and agreed.

******
the next morning.

At Bristol Barracks.

“No… this is bad!

The brave man is dead!"

A soldier who was going to the tent to make a message ran out in a panic, shouting at the top of his lungs.

"what?"

Starger's companions were shocked.

Nicodo and the general in command were also shocked.

They hurried to the scene of the crime and found that the brave man who was so full of vigor yesterday was now dead.

He died just like that.

Lying there on his back in a ridiculous, defenseless posture.

Blood was all over the ground.

"Wait, where's the holy sword?"

"By the way, where is the holy sword?"

Soon, everyone searched the tent but found nothing.

"Damn it! Someone must have coveted the Holy Sword and stolen it!"

Everyone was busy searching everywhere.

But to everyone's surprise, the holy sword was not lost, but appeared in the residence of the brave Nicodo.

The moment it was discovered, everyone turned to look at him.

Nicodo's face turned pale and he said hurriedly, "I don't know how it got here. It's none of my business!"

"Shut up! You must have been jealous of Starger and killed him, and even took his sword!"

"You murderer, return his life!"

Several of Starger's companions stood up and made accusations.

"Come on, you say that as if you really care about him.

You're just making random accusations because the hero is dead and his career is tarnished by this! "

The magician Mu Beilan said coldly while holding his staff.

Everyone immediately glared at her.

Mu Beilan said: "Think carefully with your pig brains, if it was really Nicodo who did it, would he be so stupid as to leave it next to him so casually?"

"Exactly. It's such an obvious frame-up, and you can't even see it?"

Caroline also came out to help.

"Divination, sign restoration, spiritualism...

There are ways to pursue the truth.

Let’s investigate thoroughly first!”

Priest Cha Wen mentioned some specific methods.

But in any case, Nicodo was treated as a suspect and temporarily detained.

……

"He's really finished this time. Rumors can make a person feel guilty. Even if he didn't do it, it will be considered his fault!"

On the other side, in the city.

Roy quickly learned what was happening there through the wizards' surveillance methods.

Nisha also felt a little emotional when she learned about it.

"Someone is deliberately framing me. Their methods may seem crude and despicable, but they are actually incredibly clever!"

Sometimes framing someone else requires being brutal and direct.

Because the public often lacks insight.

The vast majority of people like to go with the flow and follow without thinking.

The simpler and clearer the logic, the better.

If the Holy Sword was found in Nicodo's possession, then it would be his doing.

Especially under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, Nickdo has long been labeled as cowardly and selfish, and his reputation has long been ruined.

His companions did not have any deep feelings for him, and they were afraid to avoid such things as much as possible.

The wizards tacitly kept their troops in place and watched for most of the day, giving them enough time to make a fuss.

What they care about is not the truth of the murder, but whether there is an opportunity to exploit.

At this time, Roy once again had the idea of visiting the enemy camp and checking the holy sword.

Because he suddenly thought of a question.

"Will Starger's death attach a portion of his talent essence to it, creating a new talent?"

This is a very important conjecture.

The fate of the sword bearer, especially those who already possess some legendary destiny...

Is it possible to place one's will on it and change its properties?

"Nisha, does your Kingdom of Sarai have any famous weapons or other equipment that aren't inherently powerful weapons, but became famous because they were involved in major historical events, such as assassinating a famous person?"

He asked Nisha who happened to be nearby.

"Of course." Nisha gave him a strange look.

Sure enough, they all come from similar sources.

……

After that, Roy found an excuse to go out of town to see the Holy Sword.

The reason he gave was that he was afraid that the holy sword would be discovered.

Fayt felt a little strange: "There was no problem before, why are you worried now?"

As a senior wizard with rich experience, he could of course guess what experiment Roy was conducting with the sword.

However, in a plane war, each side seeks profit, and as long as it does not affect the overall situation, he is unwilling to interfere. He only instructed: "They are now keeping a close eye on that thing, so don't expose yourself."

Roy agreed and then took action in secret.

The journey was naturally extremely smooth.

Soon, they found where the holy sword was kept.

As a result, after secret observation, he found that the group of people really kept the holy sword very strictly. Even he had to wait for a long time before finding an opportunity to sneak in and successfully approach it.

Roy stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth.

Under the perception of energy vision, the holy sword is radiating a faint light outward.

[Eye of Hermes] saw that wisps of golden light were emanating from it, bringing a faint tingling sensation.

The strange feeling between the eyebrows stimulated him again, and a translucent illusory panel appeared.

[Alchemy Talent Acquisition (100%)]

【Super Yeast (Black Iron Grade)】

[Mastering special fermentation techniques can accelerate the fermentation reaction during the alchemy process and improve reaction efficiency. This is limited to apprentice-level alchemy operations.]

"yeast?"

Roy was slightly startled.

This is very basic stuff in alchemy.

Common yeast is a versatile microorganism mainly used for fermentation and plays an important role in food, brewing, biotechnology, nutritional supplements and environmental protection.

Its core function is to convert sugars into alcohol, carbon dioxide and other metabolites.

The super yeast bestowed by this talent is a magical alchemical product with a wide range of uses.

Alcohol and many other acids, not to mention.

Corruption potions, growth promoters, alchemical fertilizers, biological culture fluids...

Healing potions, mana recovery potions, detoxification potions, stamina potions, etc. may also involve the use of such items.

Even the production of "artificial meat" is involved.

Roy immediately thought that the "Goat Lady" and "Mushroom Demon" he had could actually be fermented by adding various yeasts.

However, just like the basic enchantment before.

Even if Roy did not obtain this "talent entry", he could still master the relevant knowledge through acquired learning.

What he really cares about is its source.

“You can really get it this way!”

This "holy sword" seemed to have really become some kind of "corpse in a sacrificial pit", continuously absorbing source matter.

Moreover, the so-called heroes in this world seem to really have "everyone's destiny"...

It actually showed up! In his delight, Roy suddenly stuck out his tongue and licked the air.

I immediately noticed that a certain energy aura was approaching.

"This is...Keriandor?"

******
Roy thought about it, dodged to the side, and hid himself in the corner of the warehouse.

This is the warehouse where the territory army manages its equipment.

Since this world is not of high level, the magic technology is relatively primitive and simple, and space equipment, especially warehouses that can support large-scale equipment, do not exist.

Even a treasure like the Holy Sword must be kept here for safekeeping.

I thought Kailiando was on patrol, but after he came in, he walked straight to the holy sword, stroked it gently, and showed greed on his face.

"Holy Sword, Holy Sword..."

"Could it be that this guy killed Starger?"

Roy's heart moved slightly, but he could tell some clues from the other party's body shape and gait.

He stretched out his finger and used his mental power to activate the secret mark on the holy sword.

The energy contained in the holy sword fluctuated with Kyriandor's touch, as if it had life, echoing with it from afar.

Kyriandor shuddered and gripped the hilt of his sword excitedly.

As a result, the holy sword shone brightly and burst into a powerful force.

"What happened?"

The guards outside quickly noticed something was wrong and rushed in.

"I, I don't know..."

Kyriando stuttered.

The ownership of the Holy Sword was currently uncertain, and he took the opportunity of an inspection to come in and touch it, which was really hard to explain.

But he soon calmed down and explained: "It seems to resonate with me..."

More people rushed over and marveled at the sight.

Because many people had tried to touch this sword before, but it was like sleeping and did not respond at all.

Unexpectedly, Kariandor was able to wake it up.

This was something that only the brave warrior Starger could do before.

"Could it be that you are the true destiny hero?"

He was originally one of Lord Bristol's own men, and many of the officers in the army knew him, and soon someone joined in.

"How about this, let's take it out and let everyone try it out. If you're the only one who can activate it, you'll be in charge first."

The general in command also turned around and made a suggestion after understanding the situation.

This was unanimously agreed by everyone, and then everyone tried it, even Nicodo was called in to try it.

Sure enough, only when Kyriando held the hilt of the sword would the holy sword release its brilliance, and its power would be mobilized as the energy in the body was transferred.

This scene is simply the Holy Sword coming into being and choosing the brave man!
……

"The army of Lord Bristol has selected a new hero. What's going on?"

After returning, Fait called Roy over as expected and asked him.

"It's just a little trick. I use the divine to touch the most sincere and powerful emotions in human nature...

But they are not positive emotions of kindness, but greed, jealousy, etc.

When it reaches a certain level of strength, it can touch the edge of the devil's contract and resonate with it."

"Oh, so you also know about the devil's contract?"

Fayt showed an appreciative expression.

"Your teacher praised you for being smart, intelligent, and knowledgeable. I originally thought he was just saying good things about you, but I didn't expect there was some truth to it."

"Thank you for your kind words, teacher." Roy said.

"So, the Holy Sword will choose a group of greedy guys."

Fait pondered.

"I didn't expect it to be so useful before. It seems we can make some more arrangements."

"What arrangement?"

“If you ever get the chance to touch the Holy Sword again, you might as well add selfishness to the mix.

In order to succeed and become famous, these people will do whatever it takes and at any cost, so it is easier for them to stand out and occupy more resources.

But they occupy resources but will not sacrifice themselves to save the world.

Even then, realizing that the wizard is invincible, they will choose to lead the way.

It would be best if your holy sword could help us select such talents."

"So, will Bravoril's resources and strength be wasted?"

Roy said thoughtfully.

Fayt smiled and said, “Actually, we wizards are also greedy and selfish.

But we are a mature civilization that has developed over many years. We have defined rights and obligations through sacred laws, and all of this is based on external plunder, so this greed and selfishness are necessary.

Moreover, we are guided by rationality, strictly enforce the law, and expose this greed and selfishness clearly.

But these creatures on earth and ordinary countries often lack these ideas.

Their greed and selfishness are hidden. The higher they praise the greedy and selfish, the more benefits those who only take but do not give, the better.

When the time comes, we can plunder the world's wealth and save ourselves the trouble of robbing it ourselves by just robbing it directly."

Roy nodded and agreed.

But what he is more concerned about now is not this thing.

After returning, he took out his notes and pondered secretly.

"If the symbol of the second-level source of magic power is gasification, the third level is liquefaction, and the fourth level is solidification.

That is, the crystallization of spiritual power begins to condense divinity and other things, and only then can the godhead be accumulated.

In fact, the godhead is the solidified crystallization of divinity!

Divinity originates from spirituality and is the strongest and most sincere part of human spiritual thoughts.

Generally speaking, it is considered to be a beautiful and noble side, but in fact, tyranny, lust, etc., when pure to the extreme, are also divine.

These are the sources of the priesthood.

The so-called ignition of the divine fire means that it solidifies to a certain degree, undergoes internal fission, and produces a reaction comparable to that of the sun."

Because I once learned that the gods in other worlds gathered spiritual energy through the faith of all living things, thus forging their own divinity.

This has the same effect as the alchemical source material that I collected.

But at least there is another point that is certain, it is not as simple as just worshiping statues of gods.

Therefore, Roy's idea is to use alchemical creation to achieve this function.

This is what he thought and this is what he verified.

Starger's death can be compared to a believer's ascension into the kingdom of God.

This is what he had verified before.

But in the end, not all souls entered.

Quite the contrary, only a small portion.

To sum up the [Super Yeast] part...

After clarifying this point, perhaps I can use something like the "Soul Stone" to absorb certain source substances.

The true seed of talent is thus formed.

"Unfortunately, up to now, I still haven't mastered the method of forging the Soul Stone...

However, I have [luck].

If we work a few times harder, we might be able to create it!"

This ability can unreasonably distort certain failed results and return them to the trajectory of successful destiny.

It just so happened that Fait had previously given him a series of tasks to create items.

You can take this opportunity to test it out.

******
A few days later, outside the city of Shaluo.

The sound of fighting arose and the drums of war roared.

Another fierce battle broke out.

Having gained the "recognition" of the Holy Sword, Kailiando unceremoniously accepted the title of hero and led his army and companions to attack the city of Shalo.

This time, they quickly won the victory on the front line and fought their way into the castle.

"This is just hell!"

Urela and the others secretly groaned, but they had no choice but to play out this drama with him, resisting the sharp edge of the holy sword all the way, and then retreating in the battle.

Thanks to the wizards' comprehensive means, they possess various substitute puppets, zombies and other witchcraft that far exceed the imagination of the low-magic world.

Even those who were actually beheaded had their bodies immediately collected and their heads reattached and sewn back together.

Roy saw with his own eyes from behind that the senior wizard Hisalia cast a mysterious barrier that enveloped the entire city with invisible power.

This is a small-scale witchcraft similar to the "Net of All Spirits".

With the sound of iron chains colliding, chains condensed from spiritual light quickly climbed up and woven together like real iron chains.

Soon a large net was formed upside down above the battlefield.

This thing cannot be detected by the naked eye, and even ordinary detection spells are invisible to it.

Only those who possess certain spiritual specialties or have an extremely high status can see it directly.

Roy happens to be such a person, who can even see and touch the real "Net of All Spirits".

It was discovered that the souls of people who died under this net would not easily dissipate, nor would they be easily absorbed by nature.

They were like wronged ghosts, wandering under the net, but with the help of Lient's witchcraft, they were soon rescued.

However, most of those who were successfully rescued were official wizards.

Those apprentices and ordinary followers can only leave it to fate.

"This witchcraft is good, but it seems that you have to reach an advanced level to learn it?
And he also has to learn the "Cursed Arts" of the Xijiren Wuta, the "Necromancy" of the Nickmansha Wuta, and even the "Astrology" of the Astrologia Wuta? "

Roy made some simple inquiries and learned about the need for learning.

Just then, Fait found him and told him something.

"Sharo City is about to fall, and Urela and the others' mission is about to be completed. We will be withdrawing to the outpost camp.

You find a chance to evacuate.

As for the things I asked you to refine before, just place them in the warehouse and let them take them away."

Roy nodded and prepared to go on his own.

Not long after that.

As expected, Kariando and others rushed in.

Roy saw that the people who had been sent out to attack the brave team had already set out.

Someone cast a "mist spell", and thick fog carrying the energy of witchcraft spread evenly, blocking vision and perception.

Amidst the sounds of fighting, people were constantly being ambushed.

But Roy did not take action, nor did he let Planjie and Nisha get involved in this mess. Instead, he packed up his temporary residence and quietly left the city.

In a hurry, he suddenly sensed that someone had discovered what he had left behind.

……

"What is this?"

Temporary residence, in the room.

Cha Wen and others split up and conducted their own investigations.

As the heroes and their companions, investigating, collecting evidence, and gathering intelligence along the way can be considered a professional skill.

This time he temporarily joined the team led by Kariando, responsible for searching for clues here.

As a result, an unexpected discovery was made.

"This is……"

Cha Wen went forward to take a look, and was suddenly surprised to find that this was some kind of ancient writing that had been circulated in this world more than 3000 years ago.

"Demon King suit?"

With a look of surprise on his face, he opened the notebook spread out there and took a look. Then he found that in addition to the notebook, there were many thick historical documents in the room.

"According to this note, the Lord of Shaluo City accidentally unearthed an ancient tomb, which contained clues..."

This is a document for academic research.

It records the research of relics, various treasure maps, legends and rumors in the style of scholars.

Aims to penetrate the thick fog of history and find the hidden "truth".

"Back then, the Demon King died, but he left behind a will: if anyone could inherit his equipment in the future, they would gain great power...

There are also recipes for making Kreo Mushrooms and Mushroom Monsters here, which can replace food and soldiers and quickly dominate a region! "

The expression on his face changed again and again. He quickly put away the valuable information and left as if nothing had happened.

Completely unaware, a secret eye was hidden above the beam, quietly watching the whole process.

It was not until Cha Wen pushed open the door and left completely that the eye created by witchcraft dissolved silently as if it had secreted black liquid.

……

"what!"

In the fog, screams of fighting could be heard from time to time.

More and more people were killed.

A man quietly approached Priest Chavan, ready to kill him from behind.

When he got closer, he saw a wizard's mark light up above the other person's head.

"Roy Wizard Seal: I'll keep this person for future use. Observe the test subject closely. Any information, including but not limited to location and status...

May report...

Infinite loop task...

10 magic stones for each piece of useful information..."

Damn, another one who can’t be killed!
The assassin disappeared quietly.

But in comparison, others are not so lucky.

Warrior Carolier, Starger's former companions...

One after another died in the fog.

When Chavin reunited with Kariando, he was surprised to find that the team that had infiltrated had suffered heavy casualties.

Suddenly, a huge explosion collapsed the buildings and blew away the fog.

Mu Beilan flew out in a mess with injuries on his body.

"Someone is trying to assassinate us in the fog. Nico is in danger. Hurry... hurry and save them!"

Kellyando and Chavin looked at each other and had to go over to rescue him.

……

At this time, Roy had returned to the outpost camp he had been away from for a long time.

This is a place protected by the spell cast by the great wizard himself.

From the outside, it looks ordinary, just a barren mountain.

But after crossing a certain boundary, suddenly, like a mirage, the scenery changes.

What appeared before my eyes was a bustling place filled with various facilities and monsters.

The hills within the illusion were almost all flattened, and the areas that were originally muddy were also cleared to create a wide square.

There are various towers and small fortresses everywhere.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a guard post every three steps and a sentry post every five steps.

Fait was receiving supplies inside when a large mechanical equipment as big as a building suddenly appeared.

Immediately afterwards, it stood up, presenting a figure like a giant.

"Interdimensional Teleportation Array...

It’s already started working!”

When Roy saw this scene, he immediately understood.
