Two Realms: The Dark Wizard Evolves Madly in the Wasteland

"I've accumulated enough knowledge! I can start building the basic bull construct tomorrow morning!"

To avoid being disturbed, Raven specifically instructed the maids in the manor not to bother him.

Of course, to avoid putting too much pressure on himself, Raven also took a hot bath when he had a moment.

The next morning, Raven changed into a new set of clothes, entered the laboratory without a word, and prepared three days' worth of food.

"Deep Blue web crawler: Detect materials, build models!"

[Start detection, data collection, and modeling]

[1: Process the materials: remove the hair from the bull hide, enchant it with parchment, and create a transparent film.]

[2: The mithril ore is smelted and purified at high temperatures to remove impurities]

【3: Configure the texture ink】

[4: On the treated transparent bull hide, use mithril and magic ink to outline the pattern of a bull!]

[Current success rate: 53% - Time elapsed: 8 hours and 32 minutes!]

"A 53% success rate!"

Raven's expression was unusually solemn. Although he had not conducted any related experiments in his previous life, Raven did understand one principle.

That is, for a qualified alchemy apprentice, the most important thing is not so-called innovation, but stability.

Raven didn't consider himself a particularly high-IQ individual, so all he could do was follow the Deep Blue crawler's instructions and methodically build the construct.

Raven then released the materialized tentacle from his brain.

Raven took a deep breath, his eyes instantly becoming incredibly focused.

With a slight thought, the tentacle instantly thinned and lengthened, like a nimble snake, precisely wrapping around the specially made mercury pen.

"start!"

With the help of the deep blue crawler, Raven's mental tentacles guided the construct pen, dipping it in the newly prepared magic ink.

The spiritual tentacles landed steadily on the transparent bull hide.

Raven's brain worked at high speed, perfectly replicating every node and every arc calculated by the Deep Blue crawler into reality.

The spiritual tentacles, carrying the construct pen, outlined and rotated on the membrane.

Before long, a palm-sized bull pattern was taking shape on the film at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, just as the bull's horns were about to close and the entire construct magic circle was about to complete its final closed loop, an unexpected event occurred.

Raven ultimately lacked sufficient experience in controlling this materialized spiritual tentacle.

At the moment he finished writing, a very slight fluctuation occurred in his mind, causing the force of his spiritual tentacles to increase by half a point.

"laugh."

A barely audible sound of mental energy dissipating. The previously flowing mithril runes suddenly darkened at the bull's horns.

The bull pattern that should have been properly depicted suddenly distorted, and the mithril runes began to merge into a single mass.

The first attempt ended in failure.

Raven stopped what he was doing, undeterred, his face expressionless.

"Deep Blue web crawler, analyze the reasons!"

[Analysis in progress: Conclusion—The subject's mental energy is chaotic and fluctuating...]

The reason is simple: I didn't allocate my mental energy properly, which caused the last stroke to go wrong.

Raven opened his eyes, his gaze regaining its clarity.

He took a deep breath, cleaned up the scrapped materials, and replaced them with a new cowhide.

"Second time, begin!"

This time, Raven focused all his attention on the tactile sensation of the mental tentacles.

He was no longer in a hurry to finish, but deliberately slowed down the speed of sketching.

He felt and carefully experienced the coordination between the spiritual touch and the structural brush, stroke by stroke.

When he reached the point where the horns closed again, he held his breath.

The mental tentacles, like the most precise instruments, controlled their force to the extreme, and finally finished off successfully.

The next step is to crush the magic core into powder and brand it onto the cowhide...

……

……

I don't know how many hours have passed.

Second attempt, success!

"Done! A Minotaur construct worth one hundred magic stones has been crafted!"

The basic construct consists of six parts: head, chest, arms, waist, and legs. The basic bull construct is usually mounted on the right arm and can be maintained for one hour after activation.

Even the lowest-ranking wizard apprentice automatically possesses the strength of a fully grown bull.

The reason the original owner chose alchemical constructs was because construct wizards are arguably the most sought-after type of wizard.

Raven couldn't help but recall the records in the thick "History of Construct Warfare" from the Norlan Wizarding Academy.

In that glorious era known as "Iron Blood and Mithril,"

The pioneering dark wizards arrived in the underground world.

The reason they were able to build an impregnable wizard fortress on this scorched earth of the underworld, a place filled with despair and slaughter, is because...

It relies on far more than just the limited spells that wizards possess and that require long incantations.

What truly allowed Norlan Wizarding Academy to gain a foothold in the underground world were its knights and servants, armed to the teeth with magical runes.

These knights were originally just ordinary people, cannon fodder selected by wizards from slave camps, possessing strong will and powerful physique.

But when they are branded with basic constructs such as "Iron Barrier", "Berserk" or "Wind Rush", they are completely transformed.

They were tireless and fearless of death. Their enchanted greatswords could easily cut through the scales of underground monsters, and their heavy armor could withstand the bombardment of spells of the same level.

Even more terrifying is that high-level construct wizards can even develop "living biological constructs".

By integrating the cores and flesh of high-level magical beasts into the knights' bodies, they can briefly transform into orc forms during battle, unleashing terrifying combat power far exceeding common sense.

In that period of history, a fully armed construct knight was as valuable on the battlefield as half a formal wizard.

They are the sharpest swords and the strongest shields for wizards, and the true capital that allows Norlan Wizarding Academy to stand out among its peers in the underground world.

However, the once-powerful construct knights have fallen into decline.

Knight breathing techniques and various training methods for knights have been completely replaced by simpler and more convenient constitution-enhancing potions.

For this reason, alchemy, constructology, and runeology hold an irreplaceable and supreme position in Norlan Wizarding Academy.

After running for sixteen hours straight, his brain was exhausted and his mental energy was almost depleted.

He gulped down several packets of the unpalatable nutritional supplements without even blinking.

Raven actually thought the nutrient solution in this wasteland world was alright, much tastier than black bread.

Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood; feeling extremely exhausted, he chose to take a nap on the soft bed in the laboratory.

Once I succeed in selling one item, I'll be able to take my time. As long as I sell this construct, I won't have to worry about my magic stone loan for this month.

……

The next day.

[The third basic construction of the Wild Bull construct took 8 hours and 47 minutes, consuming 48% of mental energy.]

"I did it! Hahaha, I did it..."

"I did it again!"

Raven suddenly stood up.

His legs felt numb from sitting in one position for so long.

But at that moment, he felt as if he were walking on clouds.

Two basic Bull Constructs cost a full two hundred Magic Stones!

The cost is only one night's time, plus the consumption of one hundred magic stones.

Most importantly, he could finally escape his status as a nomad by virtue of his identity as a junior construct master.
