Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 785 Preparing to Leave (4-in-1)

Meanwhile, at the foot of the barren mountain on the other side.

Amifkent was using necromancy to conceal his life energy, lying like a corpse in a secluded spot at the foot of the hillside.

Several dragons flew overhead, their eyes like those of eagles, surveying the land.

"Damn it, why aren't these dragons leaving yet?"
And those dragon knights, three of them actually came out at once! I couldn't possibly handle them!

He looked worried and didn't dare to move.

Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually darkened.

Amifkent felt this couldn't go on, so he tried to move to the other side.

But just then, a bronze dragon, belonging to the category of true dragons, flew over.

His massive body appeared heavy and imposing in the afterglow of the sun, but his flight speed was by no means slow, and he soon arrived near where Amifkent was.

Amifkent inwardly groaned, a sense of foreboding creeping in.

"Old wizard, I can smell that salted fish odor on you..."

You can't escape. Come out and face your death!

Amidst a thunderous roar, several fireballs suddenly slammed down.

Amifkent then realized that the figure on the dragon's back was observing with a magical artifact resembling a monocular telescope.

The magical artifact, which appeared out of nowhere, possessed a tracking and locking function, instantly exposing him.

Amifkent rolled and dodged in a sorry state, pulled out a handful of bone powder from his waist pouch, and gritted his teeth to summon the massive Bone Fang spell once again.

The sharp bone spikes trailed eerie blue energy ripples as they pierced straight into the dragon's waist and abdomen.

An energy shield rose around the dragon, easily blocking the fatal blow, and then retaliated with several exploding fireballs.

A deafening roar echoed through the valley, and half of the mountain collapsed in the flames.

Amifkent was struck by a flying boulder and fell heavily to the ground, coughing up blood. He felt as if his internal organs were being burned by fire.

"Damn it..." He trembled as he propped himself up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and despair washed over him like a tidal wave.

His followers had been almost entirely wiped out during the previous breakout, and the powerful undead creatures he once possessed had long since vanished.

We are now truly at our wits' end.

The dragon knight in the sky understood this as well, and calmly controlled the dragon to circle a few times.

After confirming once again that he had no chance of a last-ditch counterattack, he fired another "Explosive Fireball".

Just then, a golden light suddenly flashed in the clouds diagonally above.

A tall, graceful dragon, its entire body seemingly cast in gold, emerged from the crowd.

He immediately activated a spell immunity barrier, annihilating the blazing fireball.

Following closely behind, it flapped its wings and leaped, its body suddenly accelerating.

To Amifkent's astonishment, the figure shot straight at the bronze dragon and the knight on its back like an arrow released from a bow.

"Use magical protection immediately!"

The dragon knight quickly gave the order.

A semi-transparent iron wall of light and shadow appeared out of thin air, its thick, solid walls like giant iron shields, blocking the way ahead.

This is a true "impregnable fortress," a condensed magical power with astonishing defensive capabilities.

But Roy didn't care. He charged forward with his dragon body and swung his claws, which contained the beauty of violence, tearing it apart with ease.

He has now achieved a state of "harmony between man and nature" in his control over his body.

This is the true pinnacle of sophistication, a perfectly executed and harmonious mastery.

Therefore, they have a more comfortable and effective grasp of their various powers.

The iron wall crumbled and shattered into pieces in an instant.

Amidst the shock of Amifkent and the opposing dragon knight, the golden dragon's body swiftly swept past the bronze dragon, allowing the knight on its back to raise his spear and thrust it directly at it, before quickly moving away due to inertia.

The spearhead, carrying immense kinetic energy, ripped the opponent open, causing blood to gush out like it was being subjected to high pressure.

"Busldevich!"

The dragon rider on his back cried out in panic the name of his dragon companion.

However, the dragon was struck by the Dragon-Slaying Spear. With just one blow, it became paralyzed and stiffened as if electrocuted, and even the power of its magic was dispelled. It then plummeted straight down.

"To deal with dragons, we really need dragon-slaying weapons!"

If someone were to foolishly try to fight bare-handed, exchanging blows with dragon language magic, it probably wouldn't be so easy.

Roy also noticed the other party's strange behavior and thought to himself.

But just then, the dragon knight on his back came in handy.

He placed his palm on the dragon's back and activated the life-sharing spell granted by the contract to provide temporary healing.

Once the dragon recovered, it managed to change its falling posture and slid to the side with great effort.

At the same time, a heavy bow appeared in the dragon knight's hand, and he fired a barrage of arrows, raining down upon him.

The warrior's physique was clearly one or two thousand degrees stronger, and the arrows he shot seemed to have strange crystalline substances on them.

This is clearly a precious demon-slaying arrow or dragon-slaying arrow.

This sudden counterattack at the brink of defeat is something that ordinary people absolutely cannot withstand.

The dragon and the dragon knight achieved a synergy greater than the sum of its parts, posing an extraordinary threat.

However, Roy lightly leaped and instantly teleported behind his opponent using a teleport spell.

The spear of Inevitah, the Holy Light, appeared.

In an instant, a beam of light, like lightning, pierced through him and the giant dragon beneath him.

The dragon and its rider, filled with unbelievable rage, crashed helplessly to the ground.

Amidst the billowing dust, Roy turned to the approaching wyverns and dragons.

Suddenly, a war of dragons erupted in the sky.

The dragons swooped down like a flock of birds, displaying a dazzling array of magical and hand-to-hand combat techniques.

Amifkent's pupils trembled violently as he stared in utter astonishment at the wyverns and dragons falling one after another. They were no match for the suddenly appearing golden dragon and the knight's lance on its back!
"Where did this golden dragon come from? And how come the person on its back has Roy's aura?"

The old wizard was completely dumbfounded.

Like Raymond, he also instantly thought of a certain possibility.

That is, Roy also worked as a dragon knight!

"And the weapon in his hand... it doesn't seem quite right either..."

Wait! Isn't that the dragon-slaying spear in the hands of the Black Dragon Princess Melas?

A moment later, Amifkent recognized another important object, and his pupils dilated in shock.

"Damn it, where did this golden dragon come from?"

"Wait, am I seeing things? That gun... is it the weapon of the Black Dragon Melas?"

The dragon's side also recognized the origin of the weapon.

But by then, they were powerless and could only watch helplessly as Roy continued to kill, mowing down his comrades like cutting grass.

Moments later, fear completely shattered the will of the last dozen or so dragons.

They abandoned all dignity and pride, scattering and fleeing amidst deafening wails.

******
it is finally over!
Seeing this, Amifkent let out a long breath, but the shock in his heart was hard to calm down for a long time.

He never expected that Roy would actually come to his rescue, and so cleanly and easily.

This young junior's strength is already so great that even he, an old wizard, can hardly reach it, making him feel that he has wasted 3000 years of his life.

Roy, however, didn't have many thoughts. In a flash, he swooped down to check on the dragon he had just defeated and the dragon rider on its back.

To everyone's surprise, it turned out that the dragon seemed to have just reached adulthood and did not have any dragon crystals inside its body.

But this is normal, because not every dragon possesses dragon crystals.

That is a realm that leans towards spiritual attributes, the crystallization of the soul, manifested in ways such as the concentration of original blood and the "dragon content".

Only then did he realize how lucky he had been to obtain dragon crystals one after another, driven by "fate".

That's the real "protagonist's halo," "the arrangement of fate."

However, now that I am not bound by any constraints, I have no right to enjoy myself.

My luck has returned to normal.

Roy silently pondered, but inwardly he felt a sense of joy, for this was the realm he truly controlled.

Moreover, the full set of equipment worn by the Dragon Knight partially compensated for the value of the Dragon Crystal.

Dragon heart, dragon blood, dragon brain, and other tissues can also be used to extract a portion of the dragon's essence.

"Theoretically speaking, dragon crystal is also a kind of philosopher's stone in a broader sense, representing the core of a certain magical beast or magical creature's creation..."

Nature created dragons and had already inscribed the corresponding bloodline factors into them.

In other words, the original bloodline of a dragon is not thick enough, and the dragon content is insufficient, so a complete dragon can be assembled...

It can be accumulated by collecting multiple dragon corpses.

Of course, some critical conditions are difficult to meet, and you might always fall just short...

Even combining several portions of Dragon Essence wouldn't be enough.

Rolling up the dragon's corpse and the dragon knight's body, Roy cast a spell called "Dimensional Bag," which was different from ordinary storage spaces.

This is a level 2 spell that can temporarily store large objects.

Although it is far less stable than the space created by the Etherstone, it is perfectly adequate as a temporary warehouse for relocation.

He then grabbed Amifkent.

Regardless of whether his old bones could withstand the jolt, he shot out like an arrow released from a bow, quickly leaving the battlefield.

……

Late at night, in a distant mountain.

Roy and Raymond meet up.

"teacher!"

Raymond came forward, his face full of surprise.

Then Amifkent turned pale and collapsed to the ground, leaning against a tree trunk, panting.

"Teacher, how are you?"

Raymond asked with some concern.

"I won't die yet."

Amifkent responded weakly.

But then his expression turned somber.

"But the hundred years of lifespan I had finally obtained was almost gone due to this serious injury."

They even went back several decades!

A skilled wizard's physical injuries will not damage his fundamental health.

Because their mind and body can be separated and moved around.

But not everyone can achieve the same high degree of connection between Roy and his soul, abandoning their original physical body.

Moreover, some special weapons or magical powers can damage the physical body while also attacking the spirit.

That would hurt the soul.

He originally only had a little over 100 years left to live, but through the Longxin Longevity Medicine, he gained 135 years, making him over 230.

This time, in order to get more, they had to take risks and ended up losing all their previous gains.

He sighed deeply, "This time, I really lost out big time!"

Roy said, "Given your current condition, you'll probably need to take the Dragon Heart Longevity Medicine again to try and make up for it."

However, I do have a dragon corpse on hand, which I can sell to you if you can afford the price.

The old wizard, nearing the end of his life, was very enthusiastic about prolonging his life.

Ordinary health products can sell for a good price, let alone dragon heart.

He genuinely wanted to sell this thing as a health supplement, as it would be much more cost-effective than using it himself.

Amifkent was genuinely tempted: "I don't have much wealth left. How about a Feathered Serpent Bloodline Potion and a Feathered Serpent Pearl?"
Although the bloodline potential of snakes cannot match that of dragons, as a false god, His individual development is also very powerful, even surpassing that of ordinary adult dragons.

We went to great lengths to successfully hunt it down while it was weakened from molting.

You know that too.

Roy was immediately intrigued upon hearing this.

Ordinary dragon crystals and dragon hearts might provide some benefit to one of his fragmented avatars, the Serpent God Body, but their effects are definitely not as powerful as the Feathered Serpent God bloodline and the Feathered Serpent Pearl he possesses now.

With these things, I can definitely find a way to raise the physique of the Serpent God to a level of several thousand degrees.

Combining the four previous sets, it produces amazing results!
Roy feigned hesitation and haggled for a while, eventually managing to get Amifkent to give him 3 more Sallandas.

"This is my last stock. You know, there wasn't much of it to begin with, and quite a lot of it was used up..."

Roy remained "hesitant," but in reality, he was already tempted.

However, the old wizard's thirst for "health supplements" still far exceeded his expectations.

He suddenly thought of something and tentatively asked, "What is your relationship with the Witch King of the Black Witch World?"
Is there any way to contact him and get me a channel to acquire Sarlanda?

Zellandar, also known as the Key of Rebirth, may have some intrinsic connection to the alchemical talent "Key of Evolution" that he possesses.

If a stable supply channel can be established, a brand-new high-end flagship product may be created in one's own hands.

Of course, just like Torrad's fruit, it still needs to be under its own control to last.

Because I'm not going to live for hundreds or thousands of years, but thousands, tens of thousands, or even longer.

Therefore, we also need to consider the long-term perspective.

"The Witch King Fram?"

Amifkent hesitated for a moment, then said with a hint of helplessness, "I haven't been in contact with him for a long time..."

That one sentence contains a lot of information.

However, Roy didn't ask any further questions, as it was nothing more than a difference in ideology or interests.

Sure enough, Amifkent then added, "However, we can still have a say in things."

You and he were acquaintances before; he still remembers you.

"That works too, as long as you can help with the introduction."

Roy knew exactly what the Witch King Fram wanted, and since he already had experience creating statues of the "God of Wishes" and the "Golden Dragon God," he could perfectly meet his current needs.

Trading for Zarlanda is no problem.

******
And just like that, the two sides reached a deal.

Roy obtained artifacts related to Quetzalcoatl and connections to the Black Witch World.

Meanwhile, Amifkent received the Dragon Heart health supplement he desperately needed. Not only that, Roy also used the medicinal catalyst in his possession to help concoct a Dragon Heart Longevity Elixir.

The finished product this time was slightly inferior to the one last time.

However, they also have a lifespan of about 100 years.

Amifkent confirmed this before drinking it.

However, about half a month later, Roy was contacted, looking grim, and said, "The life-extending effect has been greatly reduced, with only a small portion remaining."

Moreover, a faint urge to kill and destroy was rising within me…

"Oh?

This is the effect of the dragon's essence; it should be unrelated to my potion.

Roy was also somewhat surprised by this situation.

He has used new technology in the new medicine, and combined it with his own perception of the dragon's origin to purify it.

But the old medicine hadn't really undergone this kind of treatment.

The so-called impulse to kill and destroy should have come from the Red Dragon Heart of the previous Crimson Tyrant, not from the current Bronze Dragon.

"I know it has nothing to do with you. It's just that my lifespan is coming to an end, and I won't be able to hold on for many more years..."

Amifkent seemed somewhat frustrated, speaking to him with a mix of regret and helplessness.

"Have you noticed that after all the hard work and trouble I've gone through here twice, I still only have a little over 100 years left to live...?"

"Ok?"

Roy quickly did some mental calculations.

Amifkent originally only lived for a little over 100 years.

He drank the Dragon Heart Longevity Elixir made from the heart of the Red Dragon and his lifespan increased by more than 100 years.

As a result, he suffered severe injuries and was completely worn out, and even lost several decades of his life.

Now they've made up for it with the Bronze Dragon's potion.

I really don't know whether to call it a coincidence or fate.

Even an old wizard like him couldn't help but shudder at the thought of this.

He came to Roy not to investigate any quality issues, but to have someone to confide in.

Roy could only say that there was nothing he could do to help.

He is willing to take responsibility for the quality of medicines, but he will not exceed industry standards or incur any consequences.

At that time, I did not have a way to further remove the "original blood" and leave only the "original substance".

After ending the call, Roy continued with what he was doing.

He has now refined another potion, this time to enhance the Serpent God Body.

This time, the main material is one of the three portions of Sallanda given by Amifkent, combined with the Serpent God bloodline potion, to refine an evolutionary mutation potion that allows for molting and rebirth.

Because of the issue of bloodline compatibility, he did not insist on using anything related to dragons, and he was also worried that changing all of them to dragon bloodlines would easily result in a single property, making him vulnerable to being countered by enemies.

Therefore, the origin of the feathered serpent god was arranged exactly as it was.

The result was a great success.

A new potion called "Serpent God Ascension Elixir" was thus created.

"Serpent God Ascension Elixir (Level 3)..."

The Ascension Elixir, derived from the feathered serpent god Serpins Woruk, is a magical potion that helps transform the spirit and achieve 'ascension'...

The "Ascension" talent is initially manifested as strengthening the mind and body by collecting the faith of the Feathered Serpent God. Advanced stages involve strengthening the pure spirit, enhancing the soul, until reaching the pinnacle of the mortal realm…

As seen through the Eye of Hermes, the main function of this potion is to grant a soul talent called "Ascension".

In contrast, other additions, such as escaping the body, as well as some secret methods of spiritual intention such as dream transmission, hypnosis, and mind reading, also flashed by along with the chaotic information.

But Roy didn't care.

What he saw was the hope that his serpent god body could truly become a god!
"Although my physical body and my own main soul will not go on the path to godhood."

But these fragmented clones, along with the severed souls, can still probe these routes without harm.

He immediately summoned the Serpent God and made him drink it.

In an instant, a terrifying energy far exceeding anything seen before surged from the puppet-like body, reaching true level three.

Previously, the Serpent God Body also possessed level three combat power, but that was all due to the blessing of various equipment and the [Sage's Proverb], not the original body itself.

Now, it is finally a genuine third-level unit, and it also has certain growth potential!

"Indeed, it feels somewhat similar to the Golden Dragon God..."

Roy watched for a while, pondering the future of the other sliced ​​clones.

Beast God Body...

Perhaps in the future he can go back to explore the bloodline of the Golden Behemoth and find his own path to advancement.

Becoming a demigod hero, or even a beast god, is entirely possible.

Human body...

Uh……

Human beings have low innate qualities, and cutting a level 1 spirit will only produce a "level 0 slice".

It seems there's no way to improve in a short period of time.

Unless we use something like the dragon's own essence to modify it.

But Roy now knows more, and has even begun to understand the influence of "original blood" and "origin" on bloodlines, so he always harbors some concerns.

In fact, the vast majority of bloodline potions contain remnants of dragon instincts.

Similar negative effects likely stem from the same principle.

Even if their instinct for inheritance is weak and cannot be manifested for a while, it still exists.

Both the Beast God Body and the Serpent God Body undoubtedly possess some kind of "hidden danger" similar to their previous reproductive instincts, which is unavoidable.

Just like when ordinary people eat and drink, they inevitably come into contact with all sorts of viruses and bacteria, causing various minor damages to their bodies.

"Forget it, let's try to solve this through alchemy."

With my own abilities, perhaps in the future I will be able to create a pure and powerful human bloodline to complete this human body!

After much thought, Roy realized there was no immediate solution, so he simply gave up on trying.

……

Days passed by, and before we knew it, more than two months had gone by.

The end of the year is approaching.

Amifkent suddenly sent him a message: "Something's wrong. The Cloudcliff Council seems to have noticed something and has blocked the dimensional teleportation array!"

There's no way out of here!

"Oh?"

Roy felt a slight stirring in his heart, though he didn't show it outwardly, he was secretly paying attention.

After some questioning, he learned that it was the consequence of his kidnapping of two dragon princesses.

Their simultaneous disappearance caused concern among their elders. In addition, the Cloud Cliff Council had extremely strong control over the world, so it was only natural that they passed a resolution to close the world and find them.

Fortunately, I also possess a remarkable soul rank and a destiny bestowed upon me, making prophecy less easy to pinpoint.

But now, the most rudimentary method is to send out numerous dragons and knights to search the world.

This cannot be offset by a soul's status or a legendary destiny.

******
"Lord Amifkent, to be honest, I want to leave."

"What a coincidence! I also feel like I can't stay here any longer and I'm thinking of leaving. How about we travel together and keep each other company?"

"fair enough."

Roy hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

Although this old wizard was old and his strength was not so great, he was still quite old.

However, as the saying goes, "an elder in the family is a treasure," and their rich knowledge and experience accumulated over thousands of years are still very useful.

"Besides the interdimensional teleportation array, are there any other ways to leave?"

Before coming here, Roy had actually learned a little about it, but he still asked questions.

"Of course there are. The outer region of Palania is adjacent to here, and in addition to the dimensional teleportation array, there are also some natural spatial rifts that can be used."

However, to get out from there, you need to go through a narrow half-plane passage.

The dragon race also maintains a permanent military presence to defend against foreign invasions, which is extremely difficult.

Of course, spatial rifts are constantly changing due to dimensional tides, and sometimes the boundaries are so long that even the stationed personnel can hardly cover them all…

Roy nodded to himself after hearing what Amifkent said.

"If we get out of here and reach the outside world, we should be able to activate 'interdimensional teleportation,' and even use the help of neutral forces there to leave."

"However, if we can think of this, the dragons can think of it too."

If they send powerful warriors to intercept them, or even legendary dragons intervene...

Wouldn't that be a perfect opportunity to run right into them?

It's unclear what this old wizard has been through, but he has demonstrated an unusually rich experience in escaping danger.

"I know that there is a place called 'Peace Kingdom' in a corner of Parania. It was created by all living beings in the universe who yearn for beautiful things such as 'peace,' 'neutrality,' and 'tranquility.' It can be called a 'paradise on earth' type of divine kingdom."

It is a paradise for neutrals, a place free from conflict and battle.

You can leave safely from there.

But the prerequisite is setting foot on the territory of a 'peaceful nation' and being protected by its rules!

He then explained to Roy.

It turns out that Palania is a vast wilderness resembling a large ocean, where all sorts of interstellar life and extraterrestrial beings gather.

The “Peaceful Kingdom” is one of the “islands” and the closest one, with enough capacity to protect them.

Once we get there, we can declare ourselves safe.

However, getting there requires taking a long detour and is not an easy task.

"Do you have a secret passage leading there?"

"Of course, do you remember the time hotel I told you about before?"

Those ancient people who sought immortality liked to hide in such places.

We may not necessarily stay there, but we can use the route.

He explained it again.

It turns out that it wasn't a real time hotel after all.

To be precise, it is the site of ruins that was once a time hotel, but was destroyed due to changes in the spatial structure caused by dimensional tides.

In some extremely rare cases, small space bubbles may form between planes, creating mansions and micro-scale demi-planes.

Within these countless spatial bubbles, there are some special places that contain the laws of spacetime.

And in these places where the laws of time are contained, there are places of "stillness" that arise by chance.

Even in these "still" places, there is no complete stillness, but rather a space where life can reside, while thoughts or other spiritual energies remain active.

That is a natural treasure trove suitable for building a time hotel.

But such places are not eternal and unchanging.

If the external environment changes, or if some powerful entity within the space breaks up the structure of the entire bubble, it will be completely destroyed.

The place Amifkent was referring to was attached to this dragon kingdom of Grakonia.

However, due to the passage of time, it has become ruins.

However, although it no longer has the function of delaying aging and death, it can still connect to the outside world as a secret passage.

Roy hesitated upon hearing this.

With his current knowledge and information, he is also unable to assess the risks involved.

However, weighing the pros and cons, it might actually be a good choice.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Several giant dragons, accompanied by a large number of sub-dragons, patrolled the airspace, conducting a thorough search in a carpet-like manner.

"We, the Golden Dragon Clan, are lawful and good beings. There must be some evil foreign dragons impersonating us and tarnishing our reputation!"

During the magical communication, a massive, mature golden dragon flew out from the other side of the mountain, interrupting the conversation of several dragons.

"We must find that dragon and its knight!"

According to prophetic teachings, they were very likely the same people who kidnapped Shevalya!

The dragons' expressions turned solemn: "Yes, Lord Kurmen!"

He is a senior member of the Cloud Cliff Council and the leader and enforcer of the Golden Dragon Clan stationed here among all the dragons.

Golden Dragon Kurmen.

Because of what had happened before, the Cloud Cliff Council had taken notice of Roy and his group, and was determined to find the missing Silver Dragon.

Just then, the red dragon Shaliel, along with several newly arrived five-colored evil dragons, was searching the world for the black dragon princess Melas.

He repeatedly pressed the Black Dragon forces within Palania for information, and as a result, he learned similar intelligence.

Strangely, the Black Dragon God Dragan Dub VII's reaction was somewhat ambiguous, repeatedly stating that he would wait and see.

He didn't seem to be in a hurry to find Melas.

Red Dragon Shaliel, unaware of the situation, had no choice but to use his "prophecy" technique, which he wasn't particularly skilled at, to investigate once more.

As the magical light flashed, a green light appeared in the void ahead.

The ethereal green light made his eyes blurry, and he became extremely anxious.

"How is this going?

"The 'divination' has failed again!"

Although the red dragon itself was not particularly skilled in this kind of magic, it eventually achieved a certain level of proficiency through learning and mastery.

Moreover, this "not very good at" depends on who you compare it to.

Compared to those ordinary and mediocre low-level spellcasters, they can be considered experts.

Unbeknownst to him, Roy had already secretly met up with Amifkent and embarked on his journey home with his followers.

Accompanying them were the silver dragon princess Chevalier and the black dragon princess Melas.

They are both pregnant with dragon fetuses, and Roy is worried about just letting them go back like this. What if the elders or the dragon god force them to abort them?
In addition, they also need to recover from their injuries.

So they simply packed everything up and took it all with them, stuffing it all into the wizard's mansion.
