Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 705 Establishing a Contract (2-in-1)

Roy was slightly surprised to see this.

"Is this what Kelos called the 'Kritik Pact' before?"

He had known for a long time that among the many majors in the magic academy, the summoning major was the most fitting for the nickname "magical traps".

But at the same time, it does indeed have the potential to soar to great heights.

It is extremely difficult for ordinary mages to cultivate this kind of magic. Even if they finally achieve some success, they are like a general without soldiers, having a title but no troops to use!
but……

An extraordinary mage is entirely different.

At level one, one can summon level three demons, or angels, demons, and various creatures of corresponding rank, instantly forming a fighting force.

Even more so, if one has a certain background or connections, it is not impossible to use a legendary mage or god as the object of a summoning spell!

There is a saying in the arcane world that "summoning" actually originated from witchcraft.

Wizards never deny that much of magic originates from witchcraft.

But that was the path they came by, an exploration from a primitive, unenlightened era.

The mages of Achinila often regard us Vizel wizards as barbaric and backward ancient spellcasters.

The "summoning spells" studied by the arcane arts have actually separated from summoning sorcery and are more inclined towards spatial summoning magic.

Some wealthy mages even raise their own groups of summoned beasts for precise location tracking, all in order to completely eliminate the uncertainty of this spell.

But the summoning magic of the 'Kritik' school, and the style of the ancient school...

If we take a modern approach, a mage like Kelos, of humble origins, could never possibly gain Osteron's response through sheer luck!

Roy recalled everything he knew before and immediately came to a conclusion.

This guy is too proactive; his real goal is to stay in the material plane!

Should we agree or not?
I had previously learned "Interdimensional Summoning," so theoretically, signing this kind of contract should complete this spell.

I will be like Melina before me, possessing my own unique race of summoned creatures.

Speaking of Melina, we must also mention Elena.

As far as Roy knew, her sister Elena had risen to great heights because she made a pact with a lord from the abyss.

"It feels like her experience is somewhat similar to that of Kelos before, but when she didn't have enough strength, the other party took the lead."

Ultimately, the relationship between the two sides must be determined by their respective strengths!

For an ordinary first-level wizard to sign such a contract is a matter of unpredictable fortune or misfortune.

Even seemingly equal summoning contracts can ultimately backfire.

But if you have enough strength, then it's a completely different story.

Therefore, Roy agreed after only a moment's thought.

"Alright, I'll enter into this contract with you."

……

Moments later, the manor was in ruins.

Roy and Osteron made peace and signed a pact to call for action.

Osteron agreed to serve Roy to some extent in exchange for an anchor point on the material plane.

In this way, he and his men had the opportunity to travel to and from various parts of the world.

Both parties agreed to divide their obligations in accordance with the prevailing "Kritic Summoning Faction Rules" and additional agreements negotiated by both parties.

Osteron and his men must respond to Roy's call when he needs them.

Based on Roy's rank and the amount of magic he paid, he could forcibly summon at least level two or higher subordinates.

They can also voluntarily replace themselves with a lower-level, but more numerous, group.

Roy could also summon Osteron himself, which was perfectly reasonable.

However, the other party has the right to refuse on reasonable grounds, depending on the circumstances.

Alternatively, a projected avatar could be used instead.

In addition, each summoning of a level 0 subordinate is free (following the general rules of mana payment for summoning spells), while summoning subordinates of level 1 or higher requires payment of mana stones ranging from tens of thousands to tens of millions.

This can be paid for using gems or other common sacrificial materials that are generally considered to be of good value.

If Roy is willing, he can also use the souls harvested in battle to pay, which are true hard currency. Under the same value, they greatly improve the success rate of summoning, response speed, service quality and other indicators!
This is similar to those ritualistic magics involving sacrifices or other offerings of souls.

"Such a powerful extradimensional existence does indeed have its own paid services."

For example, the legendary mage Kritik was once served by a red dragon, and each time he had to pay tens of millions of various gems and magical coins...

Wait, something sounds a bit off. And my current true form is also a golden dragon. Can I also become a cross-dimensional being and respond to the summons of other spellcasters?

Just as Roy realized this, Osteron had already retrieved the contract scroll.

"Then, farewell."

Goodbye! "

He was wary of Roy, so he didn't plan to stay there any longer.

"Wait, where are you planning to go?"

Roy called out to him.

"Of course, we should find a Potan city, launch a war of destruction, and harvest souls!"

This is a great world. I can come here often, and even become the 'Demon King' of this place, returning once every hundred years or so to reap the rewards regularly!

Ostereon gave a dry, chuckling laugh.

"There's no way some 'hero' could emerge here to defeat or seal me away!"

"That's hard to say. Alternatively, there could be travelers from outside the world!"
You'd be better off focusing your efforts on other worlds, joining me in conquering the Central Star Region and exploring even more worlds!

"You sharp-tongued wizard, you can't fool me."

Osteron chuckled, revealing Roy's true intentions.

"You are fighting against the mages and also attacking the rear of the Ellen aliens..."

If we wait for it to recover, it will suffer a severe blow sooner or later!

I have no intention of going along with your antics over there.

"Whether you're a mage or a wizard, once you win the final victory, you'll have little chance of profiting from it."

Do you, a dignified lord of hell, really wish to be holed up in such a remote, low-magic world?
Working with me and actively responding to the call to arms will make things different; together we can quickly plunder more worlds.

I hope you will seriously consider this and act accordingly.

Roy gave him a deep look.

But after leaving that one sentence, he left without saying anything more.

"Lord Roy, the casualties have been tallied. We lost nearly half of our army this time!"
Fortunately, most of them were low-level warriors from the Fran aliens. Although morale was somewhat shaken, the overall situation was not seriously affected.

Upon returning to the temporary camp, Atedia quickly brought a report.

"Recover the damaged armor and send it back to Fran Star for repair via the magic array. All junior and middle-ranking officers will be commended and rewarded."

Roy thought for a moment and immediately gave instructions.

"Then, do we need to replenish our troops immediately?"

"Not for now. We can wait until we reach the next world, or perhaps temporarily utilize the Bone Demon's army!"

Roy had his own plans.
In recent years, with the completion of the interdimensional teleportation array and the improvement of various defense facilities, wizards and apprentices have been transferred to Fran Star one after another.

Including the original Mogos and others, Roy now has 26 official wizards and more than 350 apprentices serving him.

As manpower gradually increased, the ability to carefully select talent also increased.

However, one thing is certain: only a small portion of the weapons can be carried with you at all times, and even fewer belong to your own name.

Even the wizards of the world of Aragir suffered losses in the siege of the war fortress.

Roy was increasingly inclined to adopt other wizarding options, namely treating the allied forces and native troops, excluding ordinary soldiers and subordinates, as cannon fodder and purely expendable resources.

He wasn't cruel enough to treat his followers like that.

But for the Fran aliens, or the alien subhuman species of Potan, there was absolutely no psychological burden.

After all, the other party wasn't even human; they were a completely different species.

And now, they've even found the army of hellish demons!

"When dealing with different demons, one must consider the different manifestations of their respective souls."

The 'thugs' in the seventh level of hell don't mind acting as 'thugs' at all!

Just like the 'lust demons' of the second level of hell, they wouldn't mind having sex with me anytime, anywhere...

By making full use of these traits and finding common ground for mutual interests, we can get them to serve us!

But if I turn it around and let the 'lust demons' of the second level fight for me, then the 'thugs' of the seventh level...

That will only lead to trouble!

This is valuable experience gained from the explorations of our predecessors as spellcasters.

……

In the days that followed, war raged across Potan.

Having reconciled with Roy, Osteron ruthlessly harvested a large number of souls to make up for his losses.

Meanwhile, Roy had already turned his attention to communications with the Seven Towers Alliance.

He still packed up the five captured monks and sent them back, exchanging them for ransoms ranging from one million to tens of millions of yuan per person.

At the same time, they also collected a lot of arcane knowledge from each other, and then transformed it into sorcery that they could use through the [Catalogue of Learning].

He also has a broad knowledge of the "Kritic Summoning School," as well as various planes, spaces, and dimensional beacons.

However, these are things that can be digested and absorbed gradually in the future, and there is no need to rush them.

Roy is now more interested in the geography of this star system and the latest intelligence.

The living room of the monk's mansion.

Roy gathered his followers, mainly Artia, Prandtse, and Nisa, to discuss the next target.

Alice brought everyone fruit and drinks, then stood quietly at the back.

Anjali and Beryl were both training, and Freya was busy in the alchemy room.

Windsorbell, on the other hand, was engaged in her usual prayers and meditation.

They don't care about any of that.

"The nearby star system is densely populated with planetary worlds. Some are native, sentient worlds protected by a world will, while others are artificially modified planets, whose status is close to that of a 'small world'..."

I think it's best to avoid areas with strong resistance and sufficient military strength to threaten us.

"Actually, without the Angel-class warships, there are very few things in this star system that can threaten us..."

Let's be bold and go straight for the resource star!

"The only resource planet nearby is 'Glastan'."

According to intelligence provided by the Alliance, the region is rich in crystals, gems, and other crystalline materials, earning it the nickname "Crystal World" in the Ellen Star Region...

However, there are Ellen alien troops stationed there, possessing at least three level-three magical armors and more than ten regular level-three armors!
The scale of Level 2 and Level 1 battle armor is also in the hundreds and thousands, respectively.

There are also quite a few various mechs, puppets, and other constructs!

"I agree with Prandtse's point of view; it's better to choose this world."

However, whether or not to choose it is still up for discussion; perhaps the benefits should be taken into consideration…

……

Roy listened to his followers' discussion.

Artia was a female general of the kingdom, and her opinions were quite conservative.

This is also related to the nature of the castle guards' work.

Pranzius is a dark elf who has traveled to many worlds and lived the life of an adventurer who lives a life of constant danger and has a certain degree of radicalism.

Nisha, on the other hand, is a princess from another world who has also commanded armies in battle and knows the principle that fortune favors the bold.

They all tend to prefer a more challenging world.

"Frankly speaking, I also tend to confront war head-on, even at the risk of certain risks."

Let's choose Glastan and see if we can get some precious gems there.

However, once a place like Potan is conquered, the dimensional beacons and interdimensional teleportation arrays established and provided to the Seven Towers Alliance make it a vassal world!
Selling it for hundreds of millions is certainly achievable.

In smaller worlds, there are also artificial planets, which wizards would be willing to station and use as testing grounds...

It doesn't necessarily mean you need to possess magic crystal mines or other resources!

Roy was subtly referring to the flesh and soul of intelligent beings, which also have value to wizards!
He still retains some of the conservative nature and moral understanding he had before his transmigration, particularly among humans and humanoid species.

But after traveling around the Ellen Starfield, all I saw were lizardmen or big-headed, big-eyed aliens.

Then some wizard bloodlines began to awaken.

Conquer the world and sell it for money!

This is also a traditional skill of the Vizel Wizards, a pirate-type civilization.

So Roy's final choice was...

"I don't want to choose anymore, I want them all!"

Starting from Potan, follow the navigation routes of the nearby star system, heading into the Nard Arm until you encounter the main elite force of the Ellenians!

"At that time, we won't fight their main force head-on; we'll just run away!"

Prandtse and Nisha couldn't help but roll their eyes at him.

However, avoiding direct confrontation with the enemy was the overall strategy decided before we arrived here, and there's nothing to object to.

Artia, seeing that Roy had made a decision, naturally obeyed.

And so, the matter was settled.

……

Time quickly came to the end of the month.

"Target: The Crystal World, Glastan..."

Set off! "

Roy himself went first, using a bold and direct teleportation technique to jump to the other side.

Meanwhile, many of his subordinates scattered to various places in the rear.

One after another, Level 2 combatants, and even Level 1... were teleported to different worlds, intending to carry out a "blooming tactic" and wipe out all the star clusters along the route!
