Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 813 The World of Saintly Names (4-in-1)

In the void, light and shadow floated.

A vast spiritual essence enveloped a ball of spiritual energy, like a furnace fire forging, radiating a translucent golden light outwards.

In an instant, it became as scorching as the eternal sun.

This is Roy using his spiritual essence to manipulate magical flames and forge the "Heavenly Nail".

He didn't actually know the exact recipe for the "Heavenly Nail".

However, a substance called "Celestial Iron" is formed by smelting and forging large quantities of star iron, fire copper, mithril, and radiant gold...

In fact, it is the most essential core part of the extraterrestrial meteorite iron, and its performance in all aspects meets the requirements of the "Meteorite Nail".

Roy simply used this as a material for refining, as it forms the foundation of the physical body.

Afterward, a magic array was inscribed inside, creating a complete functional array, which was then protected by a sturdy outer shell to maintain its long-term operation.

Thanks to what he had learned from the previous "Catalogue of Various Studies," Roy had a basic understanding of this subject.

Now, with the powerful abilities of a Grand Wizard and the talent of the Alchemy Godhead, it's all a natural progression.

"All right!"

After forging in the void for more than three months, Roy felt that the entire witch array was fully functional and finally began its first activation.

In an instant, the enormous "Heavenly Nail" lit up.

The lines of will projected by the array of runes shone brightly, and then the huge columnar metal object also shone brightly.

"go with!"

Roy tried to propel it in mid-air, launching it toward Nehbur.

The void trembled, and the sky cracked.

The enormous nail was driven directly into the crystal wall of the world.

Nehebul's world will was greatly shaken. With a whoosh, the "Net of All Spirits" surrounding it also shook violently, making a sound like metal clashing.

"It seems like we really succeeded!"

Roy watched this scene unfold, his attributes projected through the Eye of Hermes.

"Heavenly Nail (Level 3/4)..."

A massive arcane artifact with legendary elements can be anchored to the world's crystal wall as a positioning point, serving as the base for the arrival of mage tower units.

Special Effect 1: "Spatial Anchor Point" has the function of a dimensional beacon that crosses dimensions, serving as an anchor point for teleportation spells.

Special Effect 2: "Crystal Wall Conduit," which draws celestial energy directly from the inner layer of the crystal wall and connects it through equipment at the base of the tower.

"It doesn't look too difficult. I tried it out and managed to make it successfully."

Roy nodded secretly.

The Seven Towers Alliance had previously seized this item and studied it.

However, other great wizards made less use of it, and ordinary high-level wizards couldn't master it.

I simply ignore it.

Moreover, a new problem arises: how to launch it and send it to other dimensions outside the universe.

This is essentially a propulsion and launch issue, but it also incorporates cross-plane guidance and communication capabilities.

The arcane content is much higher.

Roy glanced at the information and learned that it was actually modified using a basic spell called "Projection".

By accumulating a large number of "legendary elements" and transforming them into "legendary projection techniques," the basic model of this "Heavenly Nail" is formed!

"It sounds simple, but it's actually quite complicated!"

This is like saying launching a rocket is like throwing stones...

Luckily, I had other options!

"any solution?"

When Freya found out, she asked him out of curiosity.

She was actually quite unfamiliar with the arcane magic of mages.

"They have arcane magic, we have witchcraft!"
Forget about arcane magic, let's use the power of wishes contained in the Holy Grail and unleash a "Great Prayer" spell!
The details of how it was implemented in the middle don't matter, as long as the final location is successful.

So, the next step is to gather enough power of wishes and pull off a miracle!

Roy confidently stated a principle similar to "the greater the force, the more likely a brick will fly."

As long as the power of wishing is sufficient...

I can use "Legendary Projectile" too!
"How can it still be like this?"

Freya was greatly surprised when she heard this.

But upon closer examination, it actually is a good idea.

The feasibility rate is over 95%!

……

Before we knew it, another three months had passed, and the end of the year was approaching.

Recently, Nisha has been working hard to streamline and redesign the internal structure of the Mage Tower/Witch Tower in preparation for the Tower Spirit's full takeover and the realization of full automation.

A mature mage tower is not only a place for magical research, but also a highly organized functional unit. Its internal structure can usually be divided into four major systems: administration, military, academic, and logistics, and has multiple sub-departments.

Now, she gradually reorganized the organization, clarified the internal structure of the "Nehebul Wizard Tower," and gave Roy a brief report.

First and foremost, of course, is the highest decision-making body that holds core power.

This includes Roy, herself, Artia, and Freya, who are directly managed and assisted by the Tower Spirit.

"The top decision-making body directly oversees the central office, arbitration tribunal, finance office, personnel department, and other institutions, which are responsible for formulating internal rules and regulations and handling internal violations."

In addition, there are the Communications Management Office, the Teleportation Array Management Office, and the Library, which are closely related institutions whose functions may span multiple departments.

For example, a library, including the management of files and archives, and the preservation of secret materials, are temporarily under its responsibility.

Then there is the administrative management system, which is further refined and decentralized, namely the administrative department.

It oversees the General Affairs Department, Finance Department, and Personnel Department. Its functions include managing daily affairs, handling financial revenue and expenditure, personnel scheduling, and other miscellaneous matters. Functionally, it overlaps somewhat with the departments directly under the highest decision-making level, and in reality, it plays a supporting role..."

Roy continued listening and discovered that the third was the military system, which included both defense and offense, namely the War Department.

It comprises strategic duty room, command room, defense department, corps management department, equipment department and other departments, and is responsible for the management of combat personnel and various equipment and materials.

Fourthly, there is the academic department, which is currently under construction and whose functions include, but are not limited to, research and development of witchcraft and theoretical exploration, as well as the missionary work of various skills.

Fifth is the logistics support system, the logistics department, whose function is to maintain the operation of the tower and manage various energy resources and non-wartime living supplies.

Just then, Celine suddenly notified her.

"His Excellency Akening requests communication."

Roy had a pretty good understanding of the Tower's institutional reforms, so he nodded and had Celine connect him.

Soon, Akennin appeared.

"Lord Roy, the new battlefield has been decided..."

The battlefield we have carefully selected for you is a place called the Nomon World.

******
"Nomon World?"

Roy pondered.

As the data was transmitted, Akhenin explained: "This is the name given to this world by the great wizard who discovered it before, meaning 'name'!"
However, unlike the common terminology used in everyday language, it is closer to a sacred and solemn name, similar to the lawful name born from the "Word of Creation".

To be precise, it's more like a label, a marker.

His statement was somewhat difficult to understand.

But Roy, being a great wizard, had enough knowledge to understand immediately.

This represents a "sacred name"!
Therefore, to be precise, this world of Nomen can also be called the world of Holy Name!

Sure enough, Akhenin's subsequent remarks confirmed this.

"In many forms of witchcraft, names have magical significance and are naturally directional."

The core of this is the true name generated by the "Sacred Word of Creation," followed by the names and titles of gods, demons, and so on!

Next are the holy names of heroes, holy spirits, angels, and so on!

In Roy's understanding, this is actually similar to a database or a game.

In the beginning of creation and operation, everything has a natural "number".

The real name is actually hidden, similar to an index, and is the only unchanging reference, pointing to the object itself.

It's like a country where a citizen's ID number is the core key to tracing a natural person.

The surname and given name used in daily life are of secondary importance, and there may be duplicate names, or even pen names and nicknames.

The existence of "creator gods," "sun gods," "earth gods," and "goddesses of wealth" in many worlds reflects this point.

Sometimes, the name of a god often represents a certain authority or power, which can bring corresponding energy such as inspiration or fear.

A holy name is a secondary power, but it can also serve as a characteristic or manifestation of a unique power, acting as a "label" for a character.

This is actually quite similar to the [Pillar Power] that Roy used before, which uses "affixes" as a means to add extra attributes.

"Jackal" means "to draw life force", similar to the power of Nikomansha's life-giving techniques.

"Shadow Fiend" means "physical immunity and damage reduction," granting the ability to become ethereal.

Akening's choice of this world for him was certainly not a coincidence, but rather a result of Roy's prior notification that he was interested in these things.

"I have instructed that I should try to choose corresponding worlds and attempt to improve my 'Luo's Alchemy' by using the 'affix' system."

This holy world does indeed possess similar power, which I can use to my advantage.

However, it sounds closer to the beliefs of living beings, or more accurately, the beliefs of intelligent beings.
Intelligent beings in this world have a chance to awaken and learn their sacred name at birth or adulthood.

The first time this holy name is recited, his life trajectory and destiny will connect with the corresponding astrological chart, thereby gaining a series of soul talents…

After ending the call, Roy continued reviewing the documents.

It is said that character determines destiny, but in this world, even temperament and will seem to be predetermined by fate.

Everyone seems to be labeled, glorified by the holy name, and also troubled by the holy name.

The origin of a sacred name may be a blessing from some deity, a self-awakening, or even something natural, or a heroic legend from history...

In short, a variety of symbols rich in "legendary elements".

This can essentially be connected to the witchcraft system and become an element of the spell seal school.

Therefore, the people of Sigiron Witch Tower are focusing their efforts on conquering this world, and they have been responsible for a large part of the war missions in the past.

However, because the Grand Wizard who was previously stationed there was injured and transferred, the protection from the Star Sea Void has been lost.

And that place is contested by enemies.

Not only the legendary mage Hosdim of Achinila, but also a powerful figure named Fatis, a fourth-level demon god, wanted to completely control it.

Upon seeing this, Roy made a point of investigating further.

"The legendary mage from Achinila is named Hosdim?"
He is a veteran powerhouse, possessing an intensity of at least 2 degrees.

However, I'm not bad either. Although I've only been promoted for a few years, I achieved it all in one go, which is equivalent to saving a thousand years!

The effects accumulated previously are now becoming apparent.

Roy has only recently been promoted, yet he is already comparable to these pioneers.

When it comes to a real confrontation, they show no sign of weakness.

Moreover, he also possesses the blessing of the "wise words".

"As for the local native Fatis..."

She calls herself the 'God of Destiny', but in reality, she is similar to the goddess of wealth, Eglis, and is a powerful being from the native world.

According to existing information, His spiritual power attribute value is between 12000 and 15000, making Him a newly born native demon god.

Overall, their strength isn't particularly formidable, but they have the advantage of being based on home ground.

……

"That's the basic situation. It's now confirmed that we'll be heading to the Nomon World to face the power of the 'Holy Name'."

There is also the legendary powerhouse, Hosdim.

The native demon god Fatis.

"Study all the information provided by the Seven Towers Alliance carefully."

Inside the tower, in a room bearing the nameplate of the Central Command Room, Roy once again summoned his subordinates, including Artea, Pranzie, and Nisa, to explain the situation.

Freya also took notes.

However, she focused more on how to obtain this power called "Holy Name" than on preparations for the enemy.

Roy's task for her was to explore the origin of this power and connect it with the [Pillar Power] she had obtained in the "Artificial Demon God" project...

That is, combining "affixes".

"This is essentially related to the legendary destiny."

It might be similar to a world of heroes, but manifested through the use of holy names…

At this moment, Atedia also expressed her feelings.

"is it?"

Nisha, who had also experienced the world of heroes, thought about it and realized it was indeed true.

"So, the Destiny Vessel can be used again?"

This time, however, the focus of the research is no longer just on the Destiny Vessel itself, but also on further "affixing" and "sanctification".

After the meeting, Freya stayed behind alone to discuss things with Roy.

Just then, a suggestion submitted by someone below was mentioned.

"I recently discovered that a wizard named Debanick has a good idea."

He proposed a redesign of the equipment system and the levels of various materials and items to accommodate the new alchemy system.

I think he makes some sense, so I've compiled his suggestions. You might want to take a look.

******
"Oh?"

Upon hearing Freya's words, Roy looked on with a hint of curiosity.

He and the other alchemists in the witch world have always used equipment auras and level classifications derived from ancient times.

One of the most important bases is that equipment and various creations, like spellcasters, are divided into different levels.

Life levels are categorized as follows: Level 0 Apprentice, Level 1 Low-level Wizard, Level 2, Intermediate Wizard, Level 3 High-level Wizard, Level 4 Grand Wizard... The corresponding spells are also categorized as Level 0 Spells, Level 1 Spells, Level 2 Spells...

The mages, on the other hand, mainly focused on lower levels and higher-level quests.

0级见习法师，1~5级低级法师，6~10级中级法师……

And so on.

In alchemy, crafting, and various materials, the same levels of zero, one, and two apply.

The main basis for this is that the basic level determines the vast majority of the strength.

However, in practice, it turns out that things are not that simple.

Equipment and props, being inanimate objects, are ultimately different from life and props.

For example, a piece of equipment manufactured in a special way naturally possesses extremely high strength, comparable to a level three item.

However, it is a kind of existence that does not contain much magic power and presents a white or green aura.

The implicit premise was that those with higher levels would necessarily have higher magic power. So, generally speaking, it's still manageable.

However, with the development of technology and the breakthrough of various materials, the levels and colors of magical auras have become somewhat disconnected.

Under certain extreme conditions, it is possible for a level three white aura to appear.

So, should it be classified as a Tier 3 or Tier 1 equipment? And how is its value determined?

If such examples are too extreme and difficult to occur, then the range is between level zero and level one.

Especially those with a crafting difficulty of level zero, yet they cheat through methods such as sacrificial arts.

There's even a future "pillar power" affix that's been added...

Roy himself makes extensive use of aesthetic value, masterful special effects, dragon soul weapons, knowledge containers, and other special abilities...

It is possible to create a large number of seemingly ordinary entities that actually possess powerful effects.

This would throw the entire evaluation system into chaos, inevitably causing great trouble for "authentication techniques".

Debanic discovered this while working.

At first, he followed the old methods, using his "appraisal skills" to evaluate many things.

He works in the appraisal department, where his daily task is to inspect and examine all sorts of items entering and leaving the warehouse.

As a result, I experienced some inconvenience.

Therefore, it was proposed to simply abandon the color-based system for equipment auras and directly adopt an evaluation system that combines base level with enchanted magic.

Actually, this is not a new idea. People have been doing it for a long time, but it has not been systematized.

“Let me see…

The core method of application is to add a description of 'item level' or 'quality' to the 'Appraisal' model.

For example, with a regular enchanted longsword, the first thing to determine is its quality level...

For example, the original level one was between 10 and 19…

Debanick's suggestion is well-developed; he proposes that most gray/zero grades can be classified as quality 0-4 miscellaneous items.

White/Level 0 refers to common equipment and enchanted items of quality 5-9.

Green/Level 1 refers to high-quality (common) magical treasures with a quality of 10-19.

Blue/Level 2 refers to Fine (Rare) and Rare magical treasures of quality 20-29.

Purple/Tier 3 refers to excellent (unique) and top-quality magical treasures of quality 30-39.

Orange/Tier 4 refers to gold, dark gold, legendary equipment, and semi-divine artifacts at levels 40-49.

However, once "Lust for Alchemy" was developed, this evaluation system inevitably became outdated.

For example, what if white equipment with a quality of up to 30 appears in the future?
There must be a focus between these two. Traditionally, the distinction was based on the color of the magical aura, which made the level distinction somewhat vague.

Now, the focus should be on item level (quality), and less on magical aura.

They even incorporated magical auras into the "quality" evaluation system for unified management.

Roy immediately remembered the small knife he had forged before.

"Jackal Metal Knife (Level 1)..."

Pillar Power: 5% chance to steal life when attacking...

If calculated using the new method, the basic grade of that metal knife would still be 0-4, belonging to the low-quality knife category of miscellaneous items.

It obtained a first-level affix by relying on the power of the pillar.

The power of jackals!

Notes on the quality of the work 15...

Therefore, the final item level is 15-19...

This aligns with what Debanic said and confirms the claim that the additional enchantment of [Pillar Power] can change the item level and even affect the aura.

If, in the future, an object absorbs spiritual light, its outward manifestation will no longer be obvious, but will become more subtle.

The "Identification Technique" will only judge the original quality from 0 to 4, thus resulting in a misjudgment.

"Of course I don't have such a problem. I have the Eye of Hermes, which transcends the 'Appraisal' and goes straight to the essence!"

However, his disciples and followers lack this ability, which easily leads to confusion and trouble!

This is indeed a case of being blind to one's own shortcomings.

Roy had never thought about this problem, nor did he consider it a problem.

But now, thanks to Freya's reminder, I realize that this could really be a problem.

Roy turned to look at Freya, but didn't ask, "How did you find out?"
The reason is very simple: Freya doesn't have the Eye of Hermes either, so she suffers from the same problem!

After a moment's thought, Roy said to her, "Bring Debanic here, I'll talk to him myself."

"Yes."

Freya replied.

Soon, Debanick arrived with a slightly apprehensive expression to discuss the matter with Roy.

Technological reform is never achieved overnight. Many new standards and systems may require the efforts of an entire generation or even several generations before they begin to show results.

Ultimately, this is due to the obstruction of entrenched forces.

He had anticipated the difficulties this matter would face.

Unexpectedly, Roy only talked with him for a few hours and found out the reform method for the "Identification Technique" model before immediately making a decision.

"We will follow your suggestion. From now on, we will prioritize item level (quality) and no longer care about the color of the aura!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the information on the small knife he held changed.

"Jackal Metal Knife (Level 1)..."

Quality: 18…

It's still largely the same as before, but now it has a quality label.

Roy immediately realized that the Eye of Hermes was indeed idealistic, capable of adjusting itself according to his perception!

******
Driven by Roy's pioneering spirit, the Roy school began to try to implement an evaluation system that emphasized the grade (quality) of various items.

Its essence is a comprehensive evaluation index for alchemists regarding item level and energy index.

大致上，学徒级所对应的就是0~9级，一级巫师所对应的物品是品质10~19，二级巫师是20~29……

And so on.

Ordinary items often contain multiple materials. For example, in a demonized organ filled with blood mercury, the quality of the blood mercury itself might be over 15, while the organ itself might only be 10...

This could explain the source material dilution caused by different substrates...

It can also explain vague expressions such as "white with a wisp of golden light" or "deep purple with a hint of golden light".

It could even explain why the world's will is always hazy and unconscious.

Debanic was unaware that Roy's strong support for this reform stemmed from his desire to adapt to the entirely new alchemical technology.

But he doesn't need to know.

Because of his status as a Level 2 wizard, he immediately became a rising star in the appraisal department.

Roy assigned him to be in charge of implementing the new standards, and even granted him more and greater authority at the beginning of the war.

The purpose is to quickly apply this item grade (quality) evaluation system in future war spoils and the import and export of various equipment and materials.

This is undoubtedly a huge help to [Pillar Power] and [Sacrifice Enhancement].

Even aesthetic value and masterful special effects can finally be perfectly integrated into the original alchemy system, like all rivers flowing into the sea, converging together.

It is no exaggeration to say that this provided a powerful impetus for "Lust for Alchemy" to move towards the unification of alchemy.

However, for the time being, not many people have noticed this.

Even Freya, who was by Roy's side, was unaware of this change because she lacked the power of the Eye of Hermes.

She remained focused on the matter at hand.

……

All preparations are complete.

Personnel and supplies are in place..."

At the same time, Nisha was also busy with her own affairs, serving Roy faithfully and diligently.

"It's time to start!"

The Seven Towers Era, December 30, 13290.

The Nehbur world, above the Kron Wasteland.

The mage tower is increasing its power, drawing energy from the earth's ley lines, with large amounts of energy continuously converging from all directions.

From a bird's-eye view, the immense magical force forms a typhoon-like vortex.

At the same time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a funnel-shaped vortex also formed.

That is the primordial energy of the heavens being poured in.

However, the Crone Wilderness remained as still as death, seemingly unaffected.

At this moment, the mage tower has entered a state of combat readiness and activated its highest level of energy shield.

The golden light, exhibiting a honeycomb structure, forms a translucent crystal wall that appears indestructible, almost like a solid object.

The Nehbur Wizard Tower, which originally had an oval-shaped metal structure, shone like a diamond.

"Magic Source Charging..."

98.12%……98.13%……98.14%……

Inside the tower, in the central command room, the girl's head was placed on the table in front of Roy, looking up at him.

In the air, however, a huge light screen was projecting a dark golden progress bar that was being pushed to near full capacity.

Several hours later.

With a ding, a system notification sounded.

"100% achieved!"

The sea of ​​stars, in the void.

The golden, cloud-like spirit materialized, taking on a gigantic human form.

The giant, which resembled a semi-transparent ghost, gradually revealed a human-shaped face, clearly showing Roy's form.

That was his true form as a great wizard, a powerful being with 19000 degrees of spiritual energy.

At this moment, blessed by the [Sage's Proverbs], a golden radiance, like the glow of the sun, shone brightly on the giant's brow.

An additional 7800 degrees of spiritual energy is also added to it.

This already makes them a core force among fourth-level archmages.

Roy stretched out his hand, as if grasping the sun, and a ray of golden light appeared.

In the Nehebul world, the starry sky as seen by those gazing up at the sky appears to have its movement of the stars slightly disturbed.

He took out the golden Holy Grail and poured out the power of wishes stored within it.

As the golden liquid was poured, the power of desire, like nectar or light, manifested, and the boundless golden light transformed into a flame-like cloak, enveloping the spiritual giant's body.

In an instant, Roy also felt an indescribable instinct surging within him.

I pray...

Projecting this "heavenly nail" into the world of Nomon...

The very source of the sacred name!
Go! "

With a solemn announcement, the model of the spell "Wish," which was originally a 9th-level spell, was changed. The power of the wish sublimated it, directly breaking through the original level and reaching the 10th level, comparable to a legendary spell.

At the same time, Roy's own power rapidly replenished, filling the legendary module.

The next moment, like a burst of lightning, the enormous "Heavenly Nail" was grabbed by an even larger giant and hurled away.

In an instant, the golden light pierced through the dimensional crystal wall and projected onto the distant starry sky.

In everyday life, where classical mechanics applies, if a ball doesn't have enough energy to roll over a mountain, it will bounce back when it reaches the foot of the mountain.

Similarly, if a person were to physically crash into a wall, it would be absolutely impossible for them to pass through the wall because the wall's potential energy barrier is far greater than the person's kinetic energy.

However, this is not necessarily true in the field of quantum mechanics.

There is a phenomenon called "quantum tunneling," which can be described as having a tiny probability of passing through a wall...

This is almost impossible for macroscopic objects because the mass of a human is so great that the probability of "passing through walls" is so small that it would not happen even once from the birth to the end of the universe.

Similarly, throwing the "Heavenly Nail" with force, without guidance, arcane teleportation, spatial tides, or other external forces, to reach its destination using such a crude and direct method is almost impossible.

But just as Roy had predicted, under the effect of the sublimated "prayer spell," this almost impossible task was directly locked onto the Nomon world in a bizarre coincidence.

The "Heavenly Nail" truly pierced through the dimensional barrier on Nehebul's side and descended upon the Nomon world.

Boom!

As if struck by thunder, the sky above began to tremble violently.

The appearance of pitch-black chains and the clanging sound of metal clashing echoed in all directions, bringing about the strange phenomenon of the entire world changing color.

The next moment, a huge tower appeared out of thin air.

Roy's figure also blurred from where he stood, and then activated "Interdimensional Teleportation" to arrive in the void above the sky.

(End of this chapter)
