Comprehensive network wizard, magic emperor

The nearest patrol had been wiped out. Now, everyone could relax a little.

The Soulcaller interlocked her fingers, her eyes gleaming as she stared at the Night Watchman. The rest of the team watched the mage descend from the sky and stand before them, their expressions tense as they frantically greeted him.

Lin Bo took off his skull mask and nodded to everyone, "Hello."

He took the time to learn the common language of the Internet so that everyone present could understand it and face-to-face communication was not an obstacle.

Everyone gave a brief self-introduction.

Most of the players in the Fey camp are Druids, Nature Priests, Blood Warlocks, Rangers and other professions. Only [Jingliu] is a Sage Sword, a very powerful melee profession.

After everyone got to know each other, a group of little elves rustled out from the bushes, flapping their wings and flying towards the players. Everyone smiled when they saw these fluffy black balls.

After receiving the blessing of the Huanri, Jiupa flew as fast as an arrow.

"Master Lighthouse!" Avoiding the warm embraces of other players, these players all clung to Lin Bo. "Finally, we meet you. Come with us!"

The little seagull slapped away an elf who tried to share the throne of his shoulder with him, spread his wings and wrapped them around the night watchman's neck, making a humming cry.

Lin Bo smiled and greeted them one by one. He stroked Jiupa's head with his fingertips and asked quietly, "Can I bring my friends to your home?"

"Of course~" The chirps happily chased after the wizard's finger, "Master Lighthouse Master can take anyone he wants!"

Lin Bo, surrounded by the furry little balls, nodded to his envious teammates and said, "Let's go back to the main city. It's not suitable to go out during the day."

He put the elves into his windbreaker pocket, and they poked their heads out like passengers. One of them crawled into the wizard's palm to guide him.

Players ride on vehicles, summon galloping horses, or use jet packs, anti-gravity motorcycles, flying brooms, etc. The modes of transportation are varied, but they are all fast.

The Soul-Calling Witch summoned the soul of a frost wolf and rode on its broad back.

She begged Master Brother in a low voice if she could share a Jupa. After getting permission, she happily took an elf from Lin Bo's pocket and stroked it in her hand.

Everyone followed the soaring wizard, all the way to the valley where the elves' home was hidden. Along the way, they encountered undead patrols, but before they could get close, they were defeated by the star steel shuttles shot from the sky, and died in the wilderness. There was not a single enemy that could stop their journey.

Half an hour later, they went deep underground and came to the last home of the fey.

A sea of ​​joy welcomed the players' arrival.

Those newcomers whose faction friendship values ​​were not high enough were somewhat flattered. Their status here was the companions of the great ones, and they were treated very generously.

[Planting trees is great] muttered quietly, "Just how high is this big guy's friendship score? Why does it feel so prestigious to be his pendant?"

Hearing this, [Wind Nest] shrugged. "I've completed missions in desperate situations, and I've never encountered anything like this. I doubt you'll be refused even if you go directly to the Guardian to ask for the Heart Stone."

Chapter 200: Combat Division, Alchemy Plan

The banquet in the underground cave square prepared drinks, food and bright lights for every player from afar.

They sat in a circle on reed mats woven from cattails, the reed mats before them covered with banquet food. Burning candles were placed in the spaces between the dishes, like goose-yellow stars, emitting a comfortable illumination.

Little elves with wooden trays on their heads will serve filled wine glasses to their favorite guests. Groups of small figures shuttle back and forth, chirping like a swarm of busy and enthusiastic bees.

It was the first time for most of the companions in the camp to participate in a banquet of the elves. Looking at the glowing red fruit wine, various berries, assorted preserved fruits, roasted vegetables, and the scary-looking roasted insect meat, they were a little at a loss as to where to start.

Lin Bo, quite accustomed to the food here, introduced his personal recommendations to his companions. They all drank together. The Soul-Calling Witch was the only child, so she drank a fruit and vegetable juice specially blended for spirits.

The little seagull shuttled back and forth on the mat where the food was placed, like a king patrolling his territory. When it tasted a dish it liked, it would bring some back and put it on the night watchman's plate, unknowingly making the food in front of Lin Bo more and more.

In the team channel, players from all three camps began to share their first meals, filled with photos.

The fruit, vegetable, and insect meat banquet of the Elf camp was quite primitive and crude, but it was actually the best condition.

The players in the Crusade camp ate dry bread, stewed soup and wine. The food in the army was large and filling. [Xiadao Qingroufeng] uploaded a photo of many male players gathered together and wolfed down their food. Their mouths were as big as balls and their expressions were grinning.

The worst off is the Necromancer camp. Although they have the largest plot force, their diet is as low as the meat content on a skull.

What they ate were various mushrooms growing in the cracks of rocks, mosses hanging on the tops of tombs, and mice digging holes in the ground. These were then cooked by undead chefs, making the already unpalatable ingredients even worse. Apart from being able to maintain basic vital signs, they had no advantages at all.

Everyone looked at the dark green nutritious soup with strange ingredients in the photo, and sincerely admired these Undead players who were willing to swallow this kind of food in order to integrate into the local circle.

[Cold Rain (Undead)]: Even though we don't eat much, we can now command an army of 2,000 undead. They are all carefully selected, without any skeletons.

[Skeleton Farming Expert (Undead)]: This is called style (laughing)

[Dragon Demon Madman (Holy War)]: When we duel tonight, do you want us to bring some food with us?

[Tailor (Dead Soul)]: Yes! I really need it! I've used all my own food to increase my friendship points and character favorability.

[Skeleton Farming Expert]: Bring more food, brother. I was stubborn just now. This shitty mushroom soup will really make you hallucinate (crying)

After the laughter, everyone discussed the duel location, agreed on the rules of the team battle and the process of the game. After they were finalized one by one, the channel fell silent.

Lin Bo and his companions discussed the subsequent clearance plan.

With multiple people in a group and affix mutations, the enemy has been greatly strengthened. It is very unlikely that one can break the city alone like last time.

Therefore, it is necessary to complete some pre-tasks, strengthen one's own manpower, weaken the enemy, and then try to form an alliance with the Crusade camp. This will greatly reduce the difficulty of the Purgatory mission.

Of the three factions, the Necromancers are the most targeted. While the Fey harbor hostility towards humans, they are likely to join forces with the Crusades. A Normal difficulty quest, "Diplomat," tasks players with negotiating a battle agreement with the Crusades' commander.

It just so happens that the Crusade's Purgatory mission does not conflict with the elves, so there is great room for cooperation between players.

"The outcome is still undecided, so it's not convenient to directly clash with other factions. Let's wait until tonight to start the mission." [Wind Nest] suggested.

He is an 8th-level Elf Wanderer, a branch of the Ranger profession. Being of human race, he has short antlers growing on both sides of his head due to the favor of the Supreme Elf, and he has a faint scent of lavender lingering around him.

"Everyone should divide the work among themselves first, and then split into multiple groups to advance the mission as soon as possible. The window of time left for us to fight a decisive battle is very short, and we must be ready to challenge the leader of Purgatory before dawn." A storm warlock spoke. She was an elf with black skin and white hair. The surging storm magic power turned into flashing arcs of electricity in the depths of her pupils, and her body was always lifted up by the invisible wind and slightly suspended in the air.

There are three tasks that must be completed. The first is the desperate level "Liberation of the Natural Temple", which can allow the fey guardians to regain their spirits and participate in the battle. The second is the extremely difficult level "Spirit Rescue", which can buff the camp creatures and reduce the buff penalties to the undead creatures. The last is the normal difficulty "Diplomat".

There are also many optional options, such as purifying water sources, removing curse totems, etc., which can further enhance the blessing effect of natural spirits.

Players took out the mission map of [Wilderness of Fallen Giants], estimated the time and manpower required for each mission, determined the division of labor, and arranged the battle plan. Everything was planned in an orderly manner.

The banquet was in full swing when a group of young mountain elves danced by the fire, extending their hands to invite the guests, and many players happily joined in.

Lin Bo left the meeting midway and went to meet the guardians.

Although the dungeon was refreshed, the elves had forgotten what they had said to the lighthouse keeper, but their respect for him became more obvious. When the guardians met him, they called Lin Bo "Eternal Honored Guest."

"Give this to me." The mage pointed to the glowing heartstone.

The old turtle, the giant wolf, the big pig and the blue peacock talked in a low voice, and then the branch brought the giant's relics to Lin Bo.

"We don't know what you'll do with it. But we have complete trust in your decision. Go ahead, child of power."

The blazing red stars fell from the top of the mountain, held up by the wizard and displayed in front of the elves and players. Bathed in brilliant light, it felt as if a faint warmth was flowing under the skin, making all living beings feel sincerely soothed.

When you get within a certain range of the Heart Stone, a small boost of Life Spring will appear in the player's health, and Lin Bo, who controls the Heart Stone, will once again experience the feeling of his pulse pumping with infinite vitality.

The teammates had no idea that the wizard only had to leave the table for a short while before bringing back the key item to unlock the Purgatory mission.

"Shouldn't it be normal to let the guardians recover their strength first before they are willing to hand over the heartstone? What on earth did this guy do to get such a high faction friendship value?" A priest in the nature realm looked confused.

The Soul-Calling Priestess clapped silently, her hands opening and closing slightly like small scallops.

The other teammates came closer out of curiosity, and after getting permission, they gently stroked the heartstone, feeling the vigorous energy within it, which made their skin numb, as if the giant's heart was still beating after all these years.

Lin Bo made a request to the giant mountain demon beside him, and he was then guided to an empty open-air forging workshop with a wide area suitable for production operations.

The mage planned to use the free time during the day to prepare some combat resources.

In a recent battle, the Whale Fire Ring sustained some damage. The metal mycelium possesses self-repairing abilities, and feeding it some food can mend the damage. However, due to its inherent quality and structure, its lethality cannot be further increased.

The current difficulty level of undead creatures is more formidable, as their equipment and physique have been enhanced. If bombarded with enchanted Featherscale Star Steel, the metal wear will become very serious, and they will not be able to withstand high-intensity impacts for more than a few seconds.

Besides, Feather Scale Star Steel cannot carry Dragon Language Runes, so he plans to refine a better magical material for future needs.

After studying a large number of advanced alchemy formulas, Lin Bo has never had the time to try them out in practice. However, he has accumulated a lot of elixir materials from the affix treasure chests he opened every day.

Now that he has the Heart Stone in his hand, he plans to use its abundant life energy to create a simplified version of the Philosopher's Stone, and then use the Philosopher's Stone to enlighten the metal and smelt out stronger alchemical products.

Chapter 201 The Final Mantra Control Technique

In the advanced alchemy textbook purchased by Lin Bo, refining the "Philosopher's Stone" and "Elixir" is used as the graduation examination for students.

Anyone who can independently create a qualified Philosopher's Stone and place it in the metaverse is considered an independent alchemist. In the future, he can forge his own path and no longer have to repeat what others have said.

The Philosopher's Stone is a general term for a type of alchemical product. In different world backgrounds, the performance of the Philosopher's Stone is also different, such as turning stones into gold, making the elixir of life, realizing all dreams, etc. Its appearance may be crystal, metal, powder or liquid.

The alchemist group of players on the network has studied for a long time and has already developed philosopher's stones of different qualities. There are many different formulas and preparation methods for flexible selection.

This was Lin Bo’s first attempt at creating this famous alchemical treasure, and the recipe he chose was a minimalist version, which could be considered the entry-level product in the series.

The specific formula comes from the Alchemy Encyclopedia of World Travelers published by Ochi Magni Garden.

In this formula, the philosopher's stone is regarded as an unchanging and eternal spiritual creation. It does not get wet when it comes into contact with water, nor does it burn when it comes into contact with fire. It is as light as thought and as hard as steel. The exclusive name of the product is "Mystical Red".

The structural strength of metals enlightened by the "Secret Spirit Red" will be greatly increased, and they will have the preliminary property of "indestructibility".

Lin Bo looked around and saw that the vacant workshop that the giant mountain demon had found for him was filled with forging hammers, bellows and furnaces, all of which were unused sundries. He whispered the true name of paper, and transformed all the sundries and equipment into white paper. He stacked them in an orderly manner and placed them in a corner. When he lifted the illusion, the sundries returned to their original shape and were neatly stacked.

Then, he began to refine the incantations needed for the ritual, which would guide the surging vitality within the heart stone and serve as the most critical catalyst for refining the "Secret Spirit Red".

The wizard took out a piece of blue quality magical metal from his backpack and took out half a ton as the base material for the ritual.

He chanted his true name, "(curse) blood sinks into black silver."

The reddish lead-gray metal spread out in a circle on the ground like a stream of water. On the half-inch thick metal plate, hollow pipes for guiding power gradually emerged. The grooves for placing spell weapons were like tree roots running in the soil, arching the surface to form large, regular lines. Nodes and hubs were distributed in an orderly manner on the pipes, like a city rail map.

The best medium to channel the power of the Heart Stone is the blood of living beings.

Lin Bo didn't have the habit of carrying plasma with him, and the little blood in his body was obviously not enough, so he had to ask the mountain goblins to donate blood.

"Master Lighthouse Operator needs help!" The elf flapped its wings hurriedly and spread the news throughout the cave. A large number of elf warriors heard the news and came, forming a long queue outside the workshop.

"Master Lighthouse Operator, hit mine!" "I'll do it. I'm stronger than you. Hit mine first!"

Hairy arms stretched out in front of the wizard.

The other players were busy in the main city doing simple miscellaneous tasks, running errands for plot characters, and improving their faction friendship points, but now everyone had run away. They had no choice but to follow and see what big thing had happened.

Lin Bo made many syringes, collected the soldiers' blood into glass jars, and added anticoagulants to prevent the blood from clotting.

The goblin guards lined up and stepped forward one by one, inserting needles to draw blood, and a strong smell of rust spread in the air.

The wizard also took this opportunity to use a carving knife to carve the Word of Power on the guards' armor and weapons, and whispered spells to enchant them as a reward and thank you.

Every goblin warrior was filled with excitement and smiles, having never imagined that such a good thing could happen.

Lin Bo was very measured and only drew a very small amount of blood each time. For the strong giants, the amount of blood lost was not as much as the blood lost during normal combat training.

As the line went on, suddenly a bare arm was placed on the blood donation table.
