Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 751 The First Lesson (4-in-1)

Tijjara, Kepang.

As dusk approached, the setting sun cast its last rays upon the courtyard wall of 42 Duke Street.

In a room not far away, Roy was working in a makeshift room.

He used a small knife to polish and carve the stone statue, putting the finishing touches on it.

After so many days of hard work, she has already revealed herself as a goddess, pure and beautiful, wearing a semi-transparent veil.

"It's truly a masterpiece, a pinnacle of art..."

Freya walked over from the other side of the corridor and looked at the statue, which seemed to be dyed golden in the sunset, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration once again.

She stepped forward and couldn't resist touching the stone, feeling the warm pulse between her fingers, just like a real person.

"The sacred white jade in the underground sanctuary of the temple..."

Having been imbued with divine power for hundreds of years, it has been sanctified to this point, and is now equivalent to a level three material.

I infused it with an anchor of faith, as a symbol of the Goddess of Light...

Logically speaking, it should have had the basic template of a level 3 golem from the very beginning!

If one can successfully gain the faith of the Goddess of Light, one will be no less powerful than the Golden Dragon God!

Roy casually agreed while continuing with his work.

He didn't just sculpt the surface; he also poured his spiritual energy into the interior, deeply permeating it along the golden veins that resembled blood vessels.

This time, he carved a stone statue, attempting to create a statue of the goddess of light.

It not only employs the most exquisite techniques of marble carving on the outside, transforming the hard stone into a light and soft gauze texture, but also infuses spiritual power into it, carving it with divine power pathways bearing its own "secret mark".

This is what created the image of a goddess with a veil on her head, wearing a long robe, and exuding mature charm.

What's truly amazing is that when you look at this statue, the light is precisely refracted behind it, naturally forming an alien-shaped halo hanging from the back of its head and back.

Its entire body radiated a soft, milky-white halo from within, which complemented the golden light of the setting sun.

Soon after, Roy paused, secretly admiring his masterpiece.

Then, he took out an exquisite box from his spatial ring. When he opened it, a rainbow of light immediately filled the room.

Freya looked at her with surprise: "Is this a newly concocted soul pigment?"

"good."

Roy laid out small square boxes from the inside out, containing carefully prepared soul pigments, including colors such as golden yellow, silver white, pigeon blood red, and milky white...

Begin drawing and outlining.

Roy planned to use silver-white to outline the transparent texture of the scarf, pigeon blood red to dab on the lips, and milky white to apply to the skin.

As divine power gradually merged in, the statue's appearance underwent subtle changes that were difficult to describe, and tiny golden runes began to appear around it, swirling and dancing like fireflies.

Those are attracted soul particles.

At this moment, Artedia entered and reported, "My lord, Princess Serafina requests an audience."

"Oh?"

Roy glanced at his work progress and nodded, saying, "Come in."

A moment later, Serafina walked in.

At that time, she was twenty years old, youthful and beautiful, and walked with an air of confidence.

"Teacher, the Kaipan City Wizarding Academy is now complete!"
Thanks to the requisition of some buildings that originally belonged to the temple, we were able to renovate them very quickly.

but……

"Aren't there some religious statues and other religious artifacts still remaining on campus? Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

Roy smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. When the temple was still there, there were so many truth seekers who joined the secret society to pursue knowledge. Now that times have changed, what difference does it make if we keep them?"
In addition, I am also planning to use the faith in the 'Goddess of Light' to replace the Holy Light and the Old God.

The goddess of wealth, the earth goddess, and other deities who have never manifested themselves are also worshipped together.

Multiple parties coexisting to mitigate the Temple's influence!

Serafina suddenly understood.

"You mentioned before that it's time to start implementing it now!"

"Speaking of this..."

Please keep these for now.

Roy took out the golden basin and the golden mask and handed them to Serafina.

Over the past six months, Serafina has gained some understanding of this matter and knows about the existence of these two treasures in her teacher's possession.

But when he handed the items to him, he was surprised: "These are all semi-divine artifacts, and I'm supposed to keep them safe?"

"I will leave this place sooner or later, but you will always be here."

I'll stay here and guard the place until I'm promoted to a second-level wizard.

I've already applied for the Academy mission for you. You can complete the task of joining the Alliance right here in your own backyard. Why not?
Therefore, I'm temporarily entrusting these two treasures to you for safekeeping...

It's both about having them help me protect my interests in this world, and about caring for and nurturing them.

Fearing that Serafina might not understand, he gave her a special reminder.

"If I advance to the second level and leave this world in the future, these two treasures will be secretly passed on to the secret order under Zaif's command..."

It's best not to let Susser and his group know about this ultimate trump card, lest they be tempted by the money.

But if there is any trickery or coercion involved, there's no need to resist; just give it to them.

These things won't disappear into thin air no matter where they're temporarily placed; they'll only grow fatter and fatter.

When I become a Grand Wizard in the future, I'll have to take it back and see what new changes have occurred.

For wizards, there is plenty of time.

There is room for error in many things on the road of life.

Such arrangements, lasting for decades or even centuries, will become increasingly common and prevalent, reflecting a deep and far-sighted approach.

Roy had essentially done his homework beforehand.

"Don't worry, teacher, I know."

Serafina readily agreed.

After Serafina left, Roy pondered to himself.

"To me, those things were just rafts to cross the river..."

Through them, I have mastered "fundamentalist alchemy" and "the face of God"...

What's truly valuable is the ability gained through this.

Upon closer examination of what he had focused on collecting over the past six months, besides divine power, the most important thing was the fragments of divine essence.

They have also ventured into the realms of holy light and wealth.

Before leaving, what she most wanted to achieve was to arrange the transformation from "Messenger of Holy Light" to "Goddess of Light".

He even harbored a secret motive.

That is, to absorb the church of the Goddess of Wealth, to take control of and re-establish the Goddess of Wealth, and to completely master this seed of concept, as well as the many laws and abilities that follow.

However, both of these things require a considerable amount of time to develop.

A hundred years, a thousand years...

Perhaps by then everything will have changed.

Now, what I can clearly control and experiment with is an experiment in another field...

Knowledge domain!

******
"The so-called dissemination of knowledge is about leaving behind a spark..."

Having lived in this world for many years, I can say that I have contributed to the development of knowledge about witchcraft.

Could it, like the previous two major domains, condense fragments of divine essence from the realm of knowledge?

Thinking about this, Roy felt a little hopeful, but he really had no idea what to expect.

Because beliefs in the realm of knowledge are inherently rational and neutral, they are not easily collected.

Most of the deities who ascend to this realm do not rely on the faith of their followers.

Not all deities rely on faith. Some of them may be born extraordinary, descendants of gods and demons, while others belong to less popular or niche divine offices and domains, where it is difficult to gather faith, so they simply seek other ways to make a living...

Some even seized godhood, such as great wizards or legendary mages who slaughtered relatively weaker gods and took their place.

They may not necessarily know how to collect faith, or how to complete all the steps on the path to godhood, or they may not want their own will to be influenced.

Various reasons have led to this situation.

But Roy felt that if he went up there, he might be able to make it work.

He doesn't expect to use his own body or soul to fuse with it; he will remain the same as before, serving as the foundation of a semi-divine artifact.

……

A few months later, Lucius.

On the ruins of the former cathedral, a new "Church of Light" has been quietly restored.

The lifelike statue of the Goddess of Light shines brightly at the head of the main hall, its pure white jade surface radiating a sacred aura.

The square was bustling with people.

Although they were unable to see the statue in person, they still raised their hands and cheered like waves.

"Praise the light!"

"Praise the goddess!"

"May the light endure forever!"

Inside the hall, many people looked up at the goddess's compassionate face, their eyes glistening with fervent tears.

Few people noticed that some of the knights of light in the vicinity were former guardians of the temple.

At this moment, they had changed into a different set of armor and completely changed their allegiance.

But in reality, even if people noticed, no one would say much.

Because many believers, after experiencing the great changes of that day, have abandoned their faith in the messenger of the Holy Light and converted to the Goddess of Light.

Those knights of light were just like them, following the trend and making their own choices.

Archbishop Krupp was also an old acquaintance...

He spread his arms on the high platform, his golden robes fluttering even without wind.

Hidden in the shadows, the magic squad cast "Illumination" and "Silent Illusion," using these rudimentary but highly effective techniques to enhance their "special effects."

Praise be to the Goddess of Light!

The choral voices of children rose to the accompaniment of the organ, bringing the celebration to a climax.

"This looks pretty good. It's a small scroll, worth about five gold coins, but it has an effect comparable to a small-scale miracle."

This is far more effective than actually casting a spell to create a miracle!

"Speaking of this, I already knew its model before, so it doesn't seem difficult."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Zaif was having a private conversation with several members of the secret order.

They maintained their usual party habits, each wearing masks and changing their identities, but they all moved their parties here.

They discussed it in hushed tones, a hint of excitement in their voices.

Zaif secretly curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

He knows more than most people.

With the magical powers bestowed upon them by alchemy, the mages conjure all sorts of miracles…

You have divine magic, I have magic.

You have divine incantations, and I have divine items.

There's always a way to benchmark.

Even its name is chosen to be the Temple, which is in direct opposition to the Holy Temple!
Sanctuary, Goddess of Light!
Now we are all followers of the Goddess of Light!

……

Not long after, on the other side.

Hidden among the crowd were Kerrigama and several former priests and knights, their feelings complicated.

"These damn guys..."

"You traitor to the Holy Light!"

Kairigma gritted his teeth, but dared not show it. He could only lower his head and pray, cursing silently in his heart.

His companion looked at him with concern, sensing that something was amiss.

He tentatively suggested, "The inauguration ceremony is over, let's go outside first!"

"That's right, let's leave quickly, it's not safe here."

For those who still hold fast to their old beliefs, this place is surrounded by enemies and is not a good place at all.

Kairigma agreed and nodded.

Unexpectedly, as he was leaving, Zaif appeared, and they happened to brush past each other.

"Hmm? Why do I have such a strange feeling?"

The aura emanating from those people...

This is extraordinary!

In the past, to evade the Templars' pursuit, members of the Secret Order possessed, to varying degrees, the ability to detect the power of the Holy Light and sense the spirit.

For people like them who hide in the shadows, vigilance and counter-surveillance capabilities are essential for survival.

They are very sensitive to the approach of the Templars.

Zaif suddenly had an urge to lower his head and pretend to do something else.

The next second, I realized what was happening.

Why are you hiding?

Before the church was built, they hid everywhere; after the church was built, they still hid...

Wouldn't that mean the church would have been built for nothing?

This is so outrageous that it's unbearable to even think about it. Zaif simply couldn't tolerate it.

However, he did not alert the other party, but silently summoned a group of great knights and a hero-level knight leading the group.

The organizational and mobilization capabilities demonstrated in that instant far surpassed those of previous temples.

Because they possess witchcraft and magic, they are able to apply "communication magic" on a wider scale!

Therefore, although its experience and organizational maturity were still inferior to those of the previous temples, this newly established Temple of Light quickly carried out a mobile law enforcement operation to "catch heretics".

"Stop, don't run!"

"Stop them quickly!"

"Wait, that person..."

It looks like Kairigma from the wanted poster!

"Goodness, we've caught a big fish!"

"We need support! We need support!"

A battle broke out quickly, revealing the identities of Kairigma and the others.

The people who arrived first did not back down; instead, they became even more excited and began to surround and attack.

Kairigama was truly exhausted this time. He could only break through the encirclement and escape into the wild after losing several of his companions.

His physique has reached level two, so he does have some strength.

Unexpectedly, the Sky-Patrolling Eye, scanning the sky, tracked them down with a Sky-Patrolling Shuttle combining Roy's alchemy and the magician's arcane technology.

Moments later, dozens or even hundreds of high-yield thermobaric bombs fell.

Rumble, rumble...

Vast areas of forest were razed to the ground.

Kairigama was also seriously injured and collapsed to the ground.

With a sense of foreboding, he suddenly widened his eyes and stared intently at the sky.

There, a small nuclear bomb, trailing a long plume of flame, hurtled towards them at an astonishing speed.

boom!
The heaven and earth shook.

Amidst the towering flames, a mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

******
In the city, at the Church of Light.

The celebrations following the completion of the project were still ongoing, and the deafening roar from outside the city could still be heard.

The crowd looked surprised and hesitant, standing still.

"Let's hope no one else jumps out and cleaves the bell tower in two with a sword, starting a fight." Archbishop Krupp stepped forward and clarified, "That was a salute..."

Don't panic!

At the same time, in one of the rooms inside.

Roy was talking with the newly arrived wizard Susel and the mage Kaisha.

They were his and Symak's successors, respectively, and there were some things that needed to be discussed in person, so they took this opportunity to get together.

"Karigma never managed to unleash the power of angelic descent from beginning to end; I wonder if he was just faking it..."

Their gods...

Those angels also have the ability to judge.

Knowing that the current environment is a high-risk location and a high-risk moment, of course I won't come down.

"But we still can't be careless, because these things are in their hands."

What we need to do is make it so that they neither can nor dare to descend!
Even more so, to completely annihilate the divine beings who descended to earth, and sever the means by which they came to this world!

At this point, Roy jokingly said, "If something like this happens again, I won't demolish any more buildings."

After occupying enemy territory, we still have to rebuild it.

This is just too much trouble.

Susserl and Kaisher smiled slightly upon hearing this.

How could such a thing be predicted?

At that time, the outcome of the great battle with the Archbishop of the Holy See was uncertain.

Thinking of this, the two were genuinely impressed by Roy's achievements and confirmed once again that he was a top-tier, senior, and powerful expert who had the potential to become a great wizard in the future.

"I just don't know if that day will really come hundreds or thousands of years from now..."

Thinking of this, the two became even more respectful towards him.

Just then, Atedia came to report: "My lord, Kerrigma has been confirmed dead!"

"Okay, got it!"

Roy simply responded and then turned his gaze back to his successor.

The wizard sent by the academy to replace him has a mental strength of over 2000 degrees, which is quite a solid core member.

Speaking of this, Roy's own mental strength is actually less than 2000, but it is increasing due to special enhancements.

As expected, even disregarding other factors, they can successfully reach the peak of a level three creature within three to five hundred years.

But when that time comes, will it be a leap into the air, or will it be like the past era of the second-level peak, where the path was naturally laid and the ladder was built, and the ladder was forcibly piled up?

If that's the case, it would roughly mean raising the base attribute to its peak of 5000, while simultaneously raising the [Sage's Proverb] buff to the same 5000.

Since they are both the origin of one's own soul, they can be perfectly compatible and achieve a simple addition effect of ten thousand degrees!

Both of these methods may bring one closer to becoming a Grand Wizard, but they are not the main factors for advancement.

Instead, the "legendary element," which is similar to a "legend," has become more important.

"If an apprentice's advancement to a full wizard relies on the 'wizard maxims' of inner self-reflection."

So, the path from high-level wizard to great wizard relies on the "legendary elements" accumulated through various "rituals" such as "participating in history," "writing legends," and even "creating myths."

This thing is so mysterious and inexplicable!

With a certain purpose in mind, Roy took the initiative to bring up this topic.

Sure enough, both Susserl and Kaisher were interested in it.

"In essence, it is still part of a legendary destiny."

"Yes, this is something that is in line with the so-called destiny."

Those who are not destined for this fate will waste their entire lives and end up with nothing.

Conversely, it will happen naturally and effortlessly.

"Some empirical studies I plan to conduct here are related to this, and I hope you two will take care of them..."

If you are willing to help, my relevant knowledge will be my way of expressing my gratitude.

"of course."

"Your Excellency Kirick, you are too kind!"

Although I know the other party is trying to "get something for free," some knowledge is indeed invaluable.

The two of them didn't mind putting in some effort.

Helping others is helping yourself.

……

Before we knew it, another month had passed.

Roy has everything he needs everyone's help with, and preparations are complete.

He relied on the "funding" provided by the wizards and the "technology" from the mages.

A combination of factors has led to the establishment of a "live broadcast" system similar to Yodakara in the chakra world in various countries and regions such as Kepang and Luxis in this world.

As for the name...

Of course, it was to demonstrate miracles and consolidate the gains.

In the future, this method will also be used to strengthen the wizards' rule here. From time to time, they can issue "divine pronouncements" and carry out global mobilization.

In short, they are all things that benefit the public good; otherwise, they wouldn't have been approved.

But once the system is set up, it still needs to be tested.

Roy reluctantly agreed to conduct the test himself.

"Bah..."

On that day, mysterious sounds, like electrical noise, were played simultaneously over major cities.

The inhabitants, who had never seen much of the world, were immediately stunned.

"Hey, can you hear me?"

"Hey?"

A sweet, childlike voice rang out in the air.

In the royal palace of Kepang, Serafina used a pre-prepared magical crystal ball to access the channel, which reflected the image of a black cat.

She recognized it immediately; it was her teacher's magical pet, the black cat Domi.

"Now, please welcome Professor to give us the first lesson in alchemy..."

Everyone is welcome! "

Soon, a blurry human figure appeared in the sky.

It wasn't a limitation of technology, but rather that Roy gradually came to understand the mystery of anchors of faith, realizing that one shouldn't attach too many anchors to "appearances," but rather to "essence."

One's own voice, appearance, name, sense of presence, identity... all of these are anchor points.

But some things are unpredictable, while others are constant; it is the constant things that are fundamental!

Therefore, his current identity is "Professor," and even Kirick has been deliberately erased.

Only the identities of "professor" and "teacher" remain.

"Hello everyone, welcome to my class. Here, I will be introducing you to a supernatural power called alchemy..."

It is magical, mysterious, and contains the truth of all things, as well as ultimate power...

As the name suggests, alchemy originated from attempts to transform base metals into precious metals, especially gold, and later developed into various other research areas...

Remember, the first principle of alchemy is equivalent exchange!

This matter is absolutely true and factual, without any falsehood!

The blurry figures projected into the sky tell a story, unveiling the mystery of extraordinary power to the mortals of this world.

******
Luxis.

At the end of Mu'en Street, formerly known as the "Holy City," lies the home of a devout believer.

Fourteen-year-old Pierre Spora woke up groggily.

"What's so noisy?"

Young Pierre Spora rubbed his sleepy eyes, his short, light brown hair sticking up in a mess, and his slightly chubby cheeks still bearing the red marks from the hard mat.

Suddenly, he sensed something was wrong.

"Is it still not dawn?"

Although I was awake, the sky outside was a dark, leaden gray.

Looking out, the entire sky seemed to be covered by a thick gray cloth.

Just then, a gentle, calm, slightly magnetic, and mysterious voice, seemingly possessing an inexplicable attraction, came down.

"This, this is..."

Alchemy?

"The essence of alchemy lies in the transformation of matter and the guidance of energy, giving ordinary substances special effects through specific combinations of materials and ritual steps."

Here are some classic introductory recipes that can help beginners understand the basic logic of alchemy and enjoy its benefits.

One is that it can simulate the luminous dust of "light magic," which can be used in daily life, production, and adventure activities.

Its formula consists of 3 parts dried jewel mushroom powder, 1 part white phosphorus powder, and 5 parts pure quartz sand...

Secondly, there is the "basic healing potion," whose healing effect is no less than that of holy water, and it can cure simple injuries and illnesses.

Its formula consists of 5 parts activated spores, 3 parts each of silver leaf mint juice and calendula juice, and 100 ml of purified water…

The third is "meditation potion," which can stabilize the mind and reduce distractions. It is suitable for wizards, sorcerers, scholars, or any occasion that requires highly focused meditation training.

The recipe is made by mixing 2 parts calming flower, 10 fresh mint leaves (filtered water), 5 ml of pure honey, and 50 ml of warm water...

All of the above can be created using the basic "All Things Forged" array, but before entering the "Forging Array" stage, the operation for each is as follows..."

As I listened intently, I heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

Pierre's mother pushed open the door, her thick arms still covered in flour from preparing the "holy bread" for breakfast.

"Peer! Quickly kneel down and pray!"

The mother's voice was filled with an unprecedented panic: "These are the words of a sorcerer!"

Although the situation has changed for more than a year, there are still many remnants of Temple worship in various countries and among various social classes.

Including young Peele, who had been influenced by his surroundings for many years, he was also a believer.

He himself may not even understand the Holy Light doctrine of the Lord of Light; he simply subconsciously does what his mother says.

Seeing her son obedient and well-behaved, the mother finally felt relieved: "Don't listen to those seductive words, and don't go outside!"

Please wait a moment, breakfast will be ready soon...

Shortly after, the mother closed the door and left.

Pierre dared not relax and continued to pray.

But just then, a pale white flame, like holy light, suddenly appeared in the air ahead, illuminating the boy's eyes.

He subconsciously reached out his hand, and the pale white flame transformed into a blue and white hardcover book.

A Concise Introduction to Alchemy

The boy was somewhat surprised and instinctively withdrew his hand.

The translucent book phantom immediately transformed into flames again and merged into the body.

……

"The professor remains as dedicated as ever, truly teaching what he's supposed to teach!"

"This is all practical information!"

The above content may seem incomprehensible to ordinary people, but it is met with excitement and discussion among the more established followers of the Secret Order.

Even the mages from Syracuse were quite surprised.

Alchemy and sorcery...

Although it's an introductory class, the content taught is all basic introductory recipes and how to make some small products.

However, it involves something called a "transformation circle," which seems to be quite worthy of research.

For a moment, even they were all focused on listening to the lecture.

"It's from '100 Concise Alchemy Recipes'!"

Suddenly, on Lucius's side...

Zaif felt a slight unease, quickly avoided the others, returned to his bedroom, and took out the book.

To everyone's surprise, the religious book that was originally disguised as "The Hadith of the Radiant Lord" revealed its true form.

Upon comparing them one by one, it was indeed the original appearance it should have.

"Professor, you passed these on to me long ago..."

A warm feeling welled up in Zaif's heart.

Knowing the truth, he regarded it as a blessing.

The grace of being guided is greater than divine grace...

at this time.

Zaif, who had already reached the level of a wizard, suddenly had a premonition.

He sensed a pale white light breaking through the void, which, in an instant, illuminated the void before him like a candle flame.

Zaif looked wary and took a moment to prepare, but soon sensed something was amiss.

He infused it with his own magic.

Sure enough, the pale white flame transformed into a semi-transparent, illusory book.

A Concise Introduction to Alchemy

……

At the same time, in the city of Kepang.

Inside the palace.

Princess Serafina listened attentively.

In the darkness, my mind seemed to be drawn to some mysterious and great being.

The next second, a ghostly white light appeared.

"What is this?"

A hint of surprise appeared on her face, and she vaguely sensed the illusory nature of the "divine power".

But soon, magic was channeled into it, transforming it into a book with a blue and white cover.

A Concise Introduction to Alchemy

"This is an introductory textbook on alchemy compiled by the teacher. It manifests naturally through mysterious power and spiritual inspiration."

As Serafina flipped through the book that had inexplicably appeared in her life, she secretly recalled the bits and pieces of the past ten years.

Suddenly, she realized something, and the book in her hand transformed into a faint candlelight. Her attention was no longer on that book, but instead she listened attentively to Roy's lecture.

A faint glint of tears welled up in her eyes, moistening them.

Princess Eglis suddenly realized that what was considered "the first lesson" for most people was actually "the last lesson."

After finishing this lesson, the teacher will leave this world and go to a distant place in the void.

In those legends, there exist countless planes and worlds!

She slowly covered her chest with her hand, listening intently with a touch of wistful melancholy.

"...

That concludes this introductory lesson.

May this alchemical knowledge be transformed into a candle, bringing true light to you all.

get out of class dismissed! "

Roy's voice remained calm and gentle, yet carried an unwavering tone as he uttered those two words.

At that very moment, the heavens and earth trembled.

In the void, a mysterious power emerged, transforming into a mysterious source substance that condensed between the eyebrows.

Roy felt this incredibly familiar sensation and remained extremely calm.

But the next moment, a slight look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Not the realm of knowledge... but... this?"
