Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 787 Reunion with the Genie (4-in-1)

The teleportation array of the Peaceful Kingdom is located in the city, and merchants traveling to and from the city have established a network of passageways. Naturally, even a powerful force like the Seven Towers Alliance would have its own teleportation array.

This time, there were no more unexpected incidents, and the two successfully passed through it and returned to the Witch Tower.

Due to the restrictions on his level and permissions, Raymond did not appear on the sixth floor with Roy.

However, once the familiar red-skirted ghost appeared, Roy instructed it to send a message to Raymond to prepare.

Then they contacted Akening.

"Roy, is there something you need?"

The red-robed consul responded immediately.

"There's something I'd like to ask for your help with."

Roy didn't stand on ceremony and briefly explained Raymond's situation.

"It's a small matter, no problem."

Aknin agreed without hesitation.

Actually, mobilizing a level-two wizard is still quite troublesome.

However, to handle matters for a level two wizard, one needs the favor of a level three wizard.

Anyone can do this kind of business.

Moreover, Roy had always been very capable, in the missions on Allenstar, the establishment of the Archademia School, and the research at Fengrang Garden...

It did leave a good impression on him.

Then, as was his habit, he asked, "So, are you planning to go back to Akademia next?"

"No, I plan to resign from my professorship and return to the world of Araghi to work on its development!"

"Is that so?

There's really no need for that; I might as well just continue my temporary posting.

I think the Archademia would also very much welcome you continuing as an honorary professor.”

Akhenin suggested.

“That’s okay too.

Maintaining the relationship there allows for future interactions.

Roy readily agreed.

But Akhenin was unaware that he was preparing for his promotion to Grand Wizard and would never be able to take up a position there again.

At best, it would mean letting Freya take over his position.

In the Dragon Kingdom of Grakonia, he had completed the necessary preparations for his advancement and accumulated enough legendary elements.

At the same time, it also completed the removal of the original dragon bloodline, restoring it to the dragon's origin that it could control.

This gave him the ability to unleash the true dragon's incarnation while retaining his spiritual essence, allowing him to continue to maintain his ever-growing capital.

After that, the road to becoming a great wizard was smooth sailing.

His past experiences made him feel that the outside world was full of dangers.

Even in peaceful countries, dragons have turned them into honey pots, waiting for people to walk into their traps.

That's why Kurmen followed him there right after he arrived.

If it weren't for my exceptionally high soul rank and strong will...

I'm afraid they really will be left behind!

This further strengthened his resolve to be promoted.

……

After dealing with the letters from all sides as usual, Roy discovered that fighting had broken out again on the front lines.

Back in the Ellen Starfield, the mages remained relentless, determined to reclaim it.

Araghi's secret report indicated that there were some unusual movements on Nehbur's side.

Nehebul was the starting point from which the three exiles were sent; it was a neighboring plane, territory controlled by Achinila.

The reason he was able to control the world of Araghi was originally intended to guard the frontier for the Seven Towers Alliance.

Most wizards' private territories were granted in this way.

"After years of management, I have completely taken control of the human race there and seized a portion of the destiny."

It seems it's time to seize the opportunity, wipe out the Gnoll Empire, and then find a way to consolidate our forces and launch a proactive attack!
The best defense is always to keep the enemy out of the country's borders.

As for the worlds of Astor, Tailin, and others, he also learned a little about them.

Then turn your attention to the dark wizarding world of Diovis.

After a moment's thought, he sent a letter using the contact information provided by Amifkent, explaining his demands and the price he could offer.

His goal is to establish a stable supply chain for Sarlanda and to acquire more local specialties.

This is an extra deal beyond the quotas of the Witch Tower and the Seven Towers Alliance, and only the local bigwigs can fulfill it.

Next up is Fortnite, Gusbull.

His expression gradually turned strange.

"Hayred has been arrested!"

Hayred was none other than the logistics manager, a level three wizard, who had once been his superior in the Fortress world.

Later, he also improved by refining spiritual equipment there, thus advancing to level three.

He also set up an array within the ruins of divine punishment to obtain fragments of divine power.

I even made a promise with them that we would do some more if we had the chance in the future.

As a result, a long time passed without any news, and he thought that the other party had abandoned him and gone it alone.

Unexpectedly, it was because of some embezzlement that the envoys sent by the Seven Towers Alliance discovered it.

This is a bit difficult.

"You, Hayreid, you're getting all the benefits but not me?"

Roy's lips twitched slightly as he half-jokingly said.

In reality, however...

Thankfully, it didn't harm me!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel concerned about his old colleague, comrade-in-arms, and old friend, Legatus, in the chakra world of Yodakara.

This person has already settled on Allen Star and is living a pretty comfortable life.

Then, Roy learned a little about his fellow disciples Igor, Tinas, and his students Ingnim, Megalofia, Genie, Schall, and others.

Ingnium and the others were already mature first-level wizards.

Megalofia, now middle-aged and with no hope of promotion, seems to have started to slack off and indulge in sensual pleasures.

Upon hearing this, Roy couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

"By all accounts, this kid is 71 years old and doesn't have many years left to live."

Since his problem isn't serious, let's just give him a safe refund.

It's time to let a capable newcomer replace him.

A thought that immediately came to him sealed Megalofia's fate.

Retirement marks the end of a 50-year career dedicated to the development and management of the school of thought.

Even without promotion during the apprenticeship stage, this period is already long enough.

Genie also failed to advance and retired several years ago; it's time for Megalofia to take his final bow as well.

……

After dealing with these trivial matters, Roy suddenly felt a sense of loss and change.

It's only been a short ten or twenty years.

Those apprentices who didn't get promoted were already nearing the end of their lives.

In the future, I will no longer personally handle matters at the apprentice level.

Megalofia and Genie are definitely exceptions.

Similarly, a first-level wizard's life, lasting only two or three hundred years, is also fleeting.

He is only 230 years old now, and is still a very young wizard.

Hundreds or thousands of years later, if Ingnium and others do not advance to the second or third level, they will also find it difficult to leave a sufficiently profound mark on their wizarding careers.

Years later, he might still remember him as his "eldest disciple," but only in name.

Unless he gets promoted!
******
a few days later.

Arcademia, on Academy Island.

Megalofia arrived at a building near the administration building as usual.

This is the original building of the Alchemy Academy, which has been developed over the years and has become the headquarters of the "Alchemy Array Research Society".

He has been the president of the association for 50 years without realizing it, dedicating his youth and his entire life to its development.

Suddenly, Megalofia sensed something was wrong.

"Why is someone inside?"

With some doubt, he went inside, only to be surprised to find several formal-rank wizards searching the place.

"Who are you?"

He asked with a hint of surprise.

“Your Excellency Megalofia, we are special envoys from the ‘Mogos Academy’ and ‘Boremo’ Academy in the world of Araghi.”

The visitor was quite polite.

This is not how ordinary apprentices are treated, because they all understand that the person in front of them has a master-apprentice relationship with Lord Roy.

Don't underestimate him just because he's an old, unsuccessful elite apprentice; behind him stands a truly powerful figure.

Moreover, their assigned area was also under the control of that important figure.

Despite the politeness, they didn't neglect their work at all.

They laid out everything in the office and recorded it one by one with a crystal ball for filing.

Megalofia had a bad feeling and was also a little annoyed. She said, "Who told you to come here? Who gave you permission to mess around with the things here!"

This is utterly outrageous! Get out!

But the wizards ignored him and continued to do as they pleased.

"Guards! Guards!"

Get these rude guys out of here right now!

Seeing this, Megalofia cried out in a guilty conscience.

But then, a wizard who was searching came over and broke down his psychological defenses with just one sentence.

"Stop shouting, it was Lord Kirick who sent us."

His exact words were, "Let's see if you've made any fundamental mistakes!"

If not, you can still retire gracefully and enjoy your old age.

If so, it's not just a simple matter of checking the accounts.

"Old...teacher!"

Upon hearing this, Megalofia was struck dumb, her legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the sofa beside her.

……

Megalofia has been taken away for investigation!
Soon, the news spread like wildfire throughout the academy.

Within the Luo family's alchemy school, it was as if an 8-magnitude earthquake had occurred.

Everyone, from top to bottom, was utterly silent.

Apart from a few individuals like Ingenium who were able to try to contact their teacher to inquire about the situation, the others didn't even dare to discuss it much.

Because Megarofia held secular power, he was in charge of many administrative and ecclesiastical affairs related to the school.

Some people, relying on Megalofia's backing, frequently harass others and even disregard the academy's inspectors.

But now, after this investigation, it feels like the sky has fallen.

It turns out that those above weren't unaware; rather, they knew perfectly well what was going on.

They're just waiting to fatten them up before slaughtering them!
All these years of illegal operations and embezzlement have resulted in them having to give back everything they've taken, and even have to pay back what they've already taken.

Those that can't be reattached will have to wait for other solutions.

In addition, a large number of positions of deacons and managers within the association and departments were also adjusted, and the atmosphere was quickly brought to a more orderly state.

But that's a story for later. Right now, Ingnim and the others don't care about that. They can only bite the bullet and plead for Megalofia.

"Teacher, although Megalofia has made mistakes, he has always been diligent and conscientious. He has devoted himself to the department and the school!"

"Yes, over the years, he has often not even gone home, but stayed overnight in the office instead..."

"What, are you trying to say that he shed blood for the department and made contributions to the school of thought?"

Roy was somewhat annoyed after receiving their message.

"I'm not a very good teacher either. For a long time, I've entrusted the department to you..."

This was originally a sign of trust in you, but I never imagined that the corrupt winds would eventually reach our school!

He appeared to be heartbroken, but in reality, he was just trying to shirk responsibility.

For decades, he has been a hands-off manager, completely ignoring everything.

Aside from providing them with some benefits during the research on the Insect Country, he also frequently used his professorial status to seek personal gain...

He truly didn't worry about internal affairs at all.

We let these people grow wildly like weeds.

As it turned out, there were indeed some problems.

According to feedback from the special envoy sent out, the deficit there has reached a staggering level of nearly 100 million.

Who could imagine that a mere apprentice could create accounts of this caliber!
Even Roy himself found it quite incredible, because when he was still an apprentice, or even a first-level wizard, he had never seen so many magic stones!
Moreover, Megalofia is not the only one with problems; it has implicated a large number of others.

An unhealthy internal atmosphere within a school of thought will inevitably hinder its proper development.

Over the years, there have indeed been some instances of jealousy and resentment towards talented individuals, or instances of hindering the development of exceptional talents.

Various college benefits and promotion opportunities were also given to relatives, friends, or those who were good at maneuvering.

However, Roy's outburst immediately cleared up the clouds and brought sunshine, and the atmosphere became much more positive.

The academy and the school of thought celebrated this news.

"Its daybreak!"

"Professor, you are wise! You have indeed dealt with Megalofia!"

"He was one of the professor's first three disciples! This is called putting righteousness before family!"

"As expected, Professor, you were deceived before. Once you return from the other world, you will immediately reform the school of thought!"

Unbeknownst to them, Roy himself was also caught in a dilemma.

Sure enough, the moment the shovel went in, it unearthed a problem.

"Megalofia..."

Even without outstanding achievements, they have certainly worked hard for 50 years; their contributions were not in vain.

Without him, the faction wouldn't have developed to this point!

In some ways, Megalofia's role was even greater than that of Ingnim and others.

Because Ingnium and others focused on their own development, they followed the path of wizards.

It's impossible to spend too much time and energy on administrative and academic affairs.

"But he lined his own pockets and took far too much!"
"If we don't kill him, it won't be enough to intimidate people or quell their anger!" "Anyway, Megalofia is over seventy years old and doesn't have much time left to live."

"Just kill them."

Nisha suggested that.

"Kill him to protect his family, that's the usual practice."

"so be it."

Roy quickly changed his mind and hardened his heart, deciding to borrow the disciple's remaining lifespan.

******
The internal reforms at the academy were a source of great distress for Roy himself.

But for others, it has no bearing on anything.

Especially the two female dragons that were just brought back from the Dragon Kingdom.

Before we knew it, it was the end of February.

Mtraken, above the World Tree.

A massive figure spread its wings and soared freely over this airspace.

At the height of excitement, a dragon's roar resounded, its majestic power spreading in all directions.

This is none other than Melas, the black dragon princess from Parania.

After all these days, she has begun to settle down here, carving out a nest and building a dwelling in a cave on the side of the Mtlaken cliff.

This is in preparation for building a nest and nurturing the fetus, in order to give birth to the "Pupula" inside the womb.

"Humph!"

What she didn't notice was that a cool, silver-haired beauty below was looking up at her for a long time.

He then picked up his basket and continued picking the wildflowers he liked.

This is the Silver Dragon Chevalier.

Unlike the proactive Melas, she was somewhat reluctant and unwilling, and her feelings for Roy were a complex mix of love and hate.

On one hand, the other party is indeed a remarkable figure—handsome, powerful, and now, upon arrival, it appears to be a world lord, possessing wealth across an entire world…

On the other hand, it is completely different from the Silver Dragon's expectation of fidelity to its spouse.

He couldn't possibly stay by my side obediently, build a nest, settle down, and raise offspring; he couldn't possibly follow the traditions of the silver dragons and stay with me through thick and thin.

Especially that damned black dragon on the other side...

This particularly displeased Chevalier, who was naturally aloof and cold.

But just then, a slight twitching sensation came from inside my abdomen.

That's "Lena" turning over.

A maternal instinct surged up, immediately interrupting Chevalier's thoughts and putting him into a sage-like state of mental blankness.

Roy was initially trapped by her instincts, and she actually struggled with this as well.

"Lena..."

She immediately put aside all other thoughts, gently stroking her belly and giving herself a soft massage.

……

now.

On the World Tree, in the mage's mansion.

Roy, however, took out the heart of the dragon, along with various blood, flesh, and other materials, and began refining the essence of the dragon once again.

"The Dragon Power Potion was very effective before..."

With the materials I have on hand, and the treasures I recently contacted the Witch Tower to exchange for, I should be able to refine several more batches.

With a proper cleansing, I can elevate both my spirit and physique to a level of 3000 degrees or even higher.

With the added blessing of the [Sage's Words], the temperature reaches over 5500 degrees, or even close to 6000 degrees!
Spend another few decades to fully digest this knowledge and make other preparations, and you'll basically complete the necessary accumulation for advancing to the rank of Grand Wizard.

In his mind, this was already a matter of "things falling into place naturally".

So there's not much to consider.

However, at that moment, the girl's skull brought a report from the main body of the underground base.

"The Gnoll Empire has become a serious problem..."

Over the years, first-level powerhouses have emerged in large numbers, and even second-level powerhouses may have been born.

"Without our continuous support, humanity would likely have been unable to withstand it."

"Oh?"

Roy heard about it and made a special effort to find out more.

The study found that over the course of more than 100 years of warfare, both the human and gnoll races produced a variety of heroes.

However, most of the first-level wizards were reassigned to fight in the Ellen Starfield.

They didn't put much effort into conquering their home turf.

As a result, Warcraft has been in constant flux, and recently they have even united to launch repeated counterattacks.

The mysterious will of the world is also at work, protecting the seeds of the strong as they continue to grow.

The situation here has reached a stalemate, with little progress being made.

If he doesn't intervene more, the human race might even be in danger.

"Then let's send the academy to fight, and try our best to take over the entire Gnoll Empire within a few years!"

The academy he mentioned was not the one in Akademia, but the local academy established by Mogos and others in the Mtraken region.

In recent years, I have used my connections to set them up with Akademia, which has become the place where elite apprentices are trained.

Every year, outstanding talents are selected to study at Akademia.

Even more, a dozen or so first-level wizards emerged.

However, this behavior actually results in a deficit for the local economy.

No Level 1 life forms have been born in the local area for quite some time.

Given this ebb and flow, it's understandable that fortunes would tilt towards the gnolls.

From the perspective of the world's will, the human race is not the only protagonist. It is possible that on some planets, the human race was wiped out by monsters, or became food for certain monsters.

Now, Roy must fight for the lives of humanity.

Because he himself was of human origin, he could slaughter all the gnolls and eliminate those threatening magical beasts without any psychological burden.

From then on, the hearts of all people were won over, and this truly became the world's will to conquer this region.

……

In early March, Roy called up his troops in Mtraken.

"The three-headed dragon Trekefalos, the prototype of the Bird Dragon, and other elemental matrices, all followed the human body within the sliced ​​clones..."

Let him go to the front line and take charge of the overall situation!
In addition, let the local wizards and hero-level knights lead three expeditions to once again vanquish the gnolls!

He didn't intend to participate in the war personally; he was just taking a backup plan.

But just then, the arrival of an item suddenly gave him a certain idea.

This item is the treasure we released earlier, Aladdin's Lamp!
That was a month ago, when he sent his subordinate Artedia to retrieve it.

After many years, this magic lamp still retains its charm, only now it carries a touch of historical weight.

"Aladdin's Lamp (Level 4)..."

(Spiritual item, can grow)
A mysterious artifact with the power to grant wishes; ordinary people can rub an oil lamp to summon the genie and make a wish...

Powers: 10254/15234…

"As expected, it has cultivated its own power, just like a false god, and is able to gather spiritual beliefs and accumulate strength!"

This reminded him of the accumulation of legendary elements that had only just been put into practice in the last world.

Moreover, one thing is clear: it has grown to a true level four, the level of a legendary treasure/semi-divine artifact!

Just then, Roy felt a faint pain between his eyebrows, and a strange sensation, unlike anything he had experienced before, welled up inside him.

[Alchemy talent gain in progress (100%)]

The First Sage (Silver Rank)

[Master the true formula for the Great Albert Water, a universal solvent that can help refine all things, eliminate their characteristics, and bring them down to their elemental state.]

******
"Is this the source of alchemical talent?"

With a hint of surprise, Roy suddenly realized something.

During this time, the scene before my eyes was like a fleeting dream, presenting one phantom scene after another.

In the early years, Aladdin's lamp was cast into the secular world, but it accidentally ended up in the desert and was buried in the sand when a traveler fell to the ground.

But the magic lamp was powerful, and under the influence of some unseen force, an old merchant came and picked it up.

An old merchant shakily wiped the bronze lamp, accidentally triggering the genie in the smoke.

"Mortal, state your wish."

The genie was just a "little lamp" in front of Roy, but once released, he became the genie himself, standing with his arms crossed, exuding great power.

The old man said, "Please give me a glass of water."

The genie handed over the water bag, somewhat puzzled, but then saw the old man give the water to the thirsty camel.

Three days later, the camel crossed the Death Desert and escaped danger, while the old man passed away peacefully.

He knew his lifespan was coming to an end, and this mysterious lamp might not grant him true immortality.

A dying person takes everything lightly, even life itself.

After being buried by wind and sand for countless years, the genie, who had finally accumulated some divine power, was unearthed once again.

This time, He finally escaped and followed the caravan to the prosperous territory of the Federation.

As a result, before he could properly plan his next move, he was stolen by a young thief.

Moreover, it was triggered by a series of unforeseen circumstances.

The genie didn't care; he was simply fulfilling his divine duty as a god.

A young thief hides in the tavern's cellar, wishing for endless wealth by looking into the magic lamp.

The genie heard this and couldn't help but laugh.

The following day, his name was displayed on all the shops, properties, and treasures along the entire street.

When the noble lords and merchants checked their accounts, they were astonished to find that everything they originally owned had been transferred to the name of a stranger.

"baffling!"

They thought it was a wizard's prank, and so...

I changed it back!

The young thief learned a harsh lesson and angrily questioned the genie.

The genie laughed heartily: "If you want to possess endless wealth, you must be able to hold onto it!"
Have I not fulfilled your wish?

Haven't you been given the wealth of the entire country, or even the world?
For at least a moment, the entire world of Alaki was yours!

If you can't control it, who can you blame?

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

The young thief was so angry he was practically fuming. Then, just like smoke rising from the sky, wisps of strange power surged into the lamp and turned into lamp oil.

The genie harvested his soul and, under the influence of a mysterious rule that follows the principle of "equivalent exchange," received the reward of having his wish granted!

From that moment on, the genie suddenly seemed to gain enlightenment, as if he had been awakened to a new level of intelligence.

after that……

A woman from a certain family clutched a magic lamp and made a wish through the smoke: "I want the rival families to back down."

"Your brother is signing a treaty to send you, along with your dowry, to your enemy!"

A down-on-his-luck poet, after drinking, wiped the lamp and made a wish: "I will create the most beautiful poem in the world and be remembered in history!"

When he woke up, he found the room full of poems, all of which were masterpieces from another world.

The genie doesn't create; he only works as a porter in the library.

……

All of these things were played for a long time.

It only stopped after absorbing all the innate essence and returned to silence.

Through these remnants of history, Roy learned that the genie had truly grown up (become cunning).

He has mastered and utilized the divine power He bestowed upon Him, and has even acquired many powers concerning contracts and transactions without instruction, and is transforming into a true deity.

Of course, this is a long process, and it is extremely unlikely to be achieved so easily in a short period of time.

In essence, everything is about using divine power to make wishes, collecting the power of wishes, and condensing souls to complete the investment and returns of resources.

This left Roy with a mix of emotions, and a sudden idea popped into his head.

"The thing I crafted can indeed become a container for collecting legendary elements, just like the things I've obtained in the past, giving it the characteristics of a source material container!"

He had already put this into practice back in the world of Brave Riel.

That holy sword has brought many benefits.

However, at that time, it was just a lucky accident.

Looking back now, Roy realizes that luck played a far greater role than anything else.

It wasn't until all these years, through continuous experience and growth, that these lucky factors were completely eliminated.

Moreover, the experience of Aladdin's lamp also taught him that completing the entire process of "distributing" and "recycling" a container would take decades or even centuries.

"So, if I have the chance to return to the world of Astor in the future and witness some legends..."

Or perhaps in a world of heroes, they can retrieve the masterpiece...

There is also a chance to obtain innate source matter, just like the items from the Cretaceous Kingdom in the past.
I've been wondering for a long time why items from the Land of Chalk are always easier to obtain...

Is it the infusion of a soul?

How can we achieve this kind of soul infusion?
Now it seems that it is indeed closely related to history, legends, and the sedimentation of time!

He wasn't too concerned about the lamp's intrinsic value, but rather the process of creating magical treasures, releasing them into the mortal world, and then reclaiming their essence.

Coincidentally, he also knew a little about the Dragon Knight's contract in the previous world, so he combined various historical legends with information from the library to study it.

Upon further investigation, it became clear that this approach was feasible.

This approach is perfectly feasible; it's just that the investment return cycle might be a bit long compared to before.

It would take at least one or two hundred years, or even longer.

What it needs is the catalysis of time.

While thinking, Roy suddenly pulled out something, which was the "clumped medicine residue" he had obtained inside the "Chrisbisson Secret Passage" when he left the Dragon Kingdom.

There are some ancient symbols here, serving as a catalyst for sedimentation.

"It just so happens that some treasures are needed during the war..."

The joys and sorrows, the rise and fall, the successes and failures of people in the mortal world are transformed into the source substance.

If all goes well, some treasures might even become legendary, just like their owners!

In just one day, a two-handed longsword with an ancient appearance but hidden extraordinary qualities was born.

Roy casually obtained a piece of chalk soil, reversed the "Revitalization" spell, and sealed it in a stone sheath.

Then, he murmured to himself, as if offering a blessing, yet also as if making a prophecy: "Whoever draws this sword will be able to establish a kingdom and become king in new territory..."

He is now the Lord of the World and possesses some of the powers of the God of Desire.

As soon as he finished speaking, as if by magic, a mysterious power was injected into him, becoming the seed of a "legend".
