Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 816 Elf Contribution (4-in-1)

"Villain..."

It is the vessel of evil in the world, and the manifestation of demonic and wicked power.

Special Effect 1: "Critical Hit" - When attacking, there is a chance to deal critical hit damage, resulting in a larger physical attack.

Under the illumination of the Eye of Hermes, this power, resembling a golden flame, shone with a dazzling golden light.

Its essence is the energy refined from the soul, which, through purification and refining, successfully locks onto a specific source substance.

This is an operation that even ordinary great wizards cannot accomplish; its difficulty is close to that of refining soul nectar at the 5N or even 6N level.

At this point, Roy had finally cracked most of the secrets of this thing.

"No wonder we couldn't precipitate it successfully before; the conditions for crystallization weren't met!"

Roy compared them carefully and suddenly realized.

Then, he flipped his palm, and a power like flames ignited, using his spiritual power to forge it into shape.

A moment later, this "essence of the holy name" condensed from spirit into matter, taking the form of a gemstone.

This is an advanced technique of "Magic Crystallization," equivalent to the crystallization of the "Philosopher's Stone."

This solidified essence of the villain's holy name thus acquired a material form.

After some testing, Roy confirmed that it could be incorporated into the Holy Name Awakening Potion he had previously refined, allowing non-native creatures to also acquire a Holy Name.

However, this kind of thing contains some demonic and evil power, which may change a person's mental will and lead them down a path of crime.

In other words, it will change your "faction attribute," so it's not so easy to take.

Roy thought about it again and simply took out the "Corrupted Black Diamond Greatsword" that he had tempered several times before and infused it with magic.

From then on, this "villain" was added to the sword as an "affix".

It has become "the corrupted black diamond greatsword of villains"!
……

"Master, the exchange list you've been following has been updated!"

Inside the Nehebur Wizard Tower, in a room.

The adorable, ball-shaped fairy Shipka suddenly sent a message, telling Pierre some important new information.

It hopped and skipped off the table and came to Pierre.

"Woo..."

Pierre had been working overtime lately and was now dozing off.

"Stop it, I don't have time..."

As a result, the programmed sequence continued to execute faithfully, and the Sipka fairy persisted in her harassment.

"Master, get up! Get up!"

"Ah! Ahhh!"

In a fit of rage, Pierre grabbed the fairy's ahoge (cowlick) and tucked it under the covers.

Even so, the vibrant Sypuka fairy still trembled violently, energetically calling out, "The exchange list you are watching has been updated!"

Pierre rubbed his eyes and got up: "What? The redemption list has been updated!"

Suddenly, he stopped rubbing his eyes, and an expression of unbelievable surprise gradually appeared on his face.

"I only paid attention to Lord Roy's inside information, doesn't that mean..."

He quickly scrambled to his feet and examined the item closely. To his delight, he discovered that an alchemical technique called "Holy Affix" had indeed been added.

"Prerequisite skills: Enchantment, Sacrifice, Transmutation Circle (Luo's Alchemy), Fundamentals of Soul Science, Fundamentals of Magic Crystal Science..."

This is clearly not something an ordinary apprentice can master; even though he has now advanced to level two, he still finds it somewhat complicated.

Fortunately, as a disciple of "Lust for Alchemy," he had already come into contact with and understood many things in the past, which gave him a natural advantage over alchemists from other schools.

If we compare an individual's knowledge and memory to a tree growing upside down, then its roots are undoubtedly solid.

You only need to spend some resources to exchange for it, and then you can learn step by step.

Moreover, as an internal perk for the apprentices, this new technology, which is still in the validation stage, is very cheap.

It only costs a symbolic 5 wizard coins to exchange for it.

Peel is 100% certain that this is absolutely not its true value; it's simply a matter of learning something new and gaining something in return!

"Let me see. This technology has two major branches: one is the Holy Name Awakening Potion used on the human body, and the other is the Affix Enchantment for equipment and items..."

However, for security reasons, the former has been locked by the professor and is not open to the public for the time being.

Only the latter can be redeemed.

As a seasoned wizard, he immediately understood why Roy did this, and didn't want to be reckless and try to figure it out himself.

"Then let's choose the latter. Let me see. If we can contribute to the improvement and maturation of this technology, we can not only earn back the exchange cost, but also have continuous income..."

Hmm, is this something related to the Arcane Empire's patented knowledge?

It's actually quite good.

His enthusiasm was instantly aroused.

……

It's not just Peel.

At the same time, inside the Witch Tower.

All the wizards who were qualified to access this information joined the research.

Although none of them individually could compare to Roy, as the saying goes, even a fool can have a stroke of genius.

With the collective wisdom of so many people, they were ultimately able to successfully identify and fill in the gaps, and improve many details.

Extraction, refinement, and utilization of the holy name...

The whole process gradually matured.

Roy himself was responsible for centralizing and integrating this collective wisdom into a "transformation circle" called "Sacred Name Transformation".

By now, it's already the end of the year.

In the alchemy room, Roy inscribed a magic circle, using the crystal cores and souls of monsters native to the local world as offerings to extract yet another new sacred affix.

"A giant whale!"

Roy weighed the beast's holy name crystal, which was only the size of a thumb and resembled blood-red amber, and sensed its immense, almost living energy.

"It has a feeling of extracting life energy crystals from giant insects in the past."

Back then, I obtained this blessing by refining the spoils of war from the Kingdom of Cretaceous into the heart of a demonized organ and implanting it into my body.

This Holy Name Crystal is essentially a product of "Magic Crystal Science," similar to the Philosopher's Stone.

It has a wider range of applications and offers more ways to redeem rewards!

After using the Eye of Hermes to identify it, Roy confirmed that it could appear on major equipment such as clothing, armor, helmets, and circlets.

In comparison, handheld equipment such as weapons and shields, as well as secondary equipment such as gloves, shoes, belts, and magical jewelry such as necklaces and rings, cannot withstand this level of power.

Therefore, it has a limited scope of application.

However, the specific effects depend on the alchemy level and refining conditions. If one were to break the paradigm and forcefully infuse the product, it would not be impossible.

This is a very flexible application!
******
"Giant whale..."

A powerful crystal of life energy, possessing effects similar to Bloodstone, providing the wearer with 50-100 points of physical attribute value!

Roy silently recorded this information in his notebook and then handed it over to Freya to organize.

Afterwards, Celine even helped with archiving, creating exclusive knowledge materials for the school.

It will categorize this knowledge and incorporate it into different parts of the Alchemy Book.

After that, the school members continued to contribute different affixes and attributes such as "troll", "oak", "lizard", "glowing", and "jewel".

Their functions include increasing health regeneration speed, increasing health and mana, stealing mana, illuminating an area, and enhancing attributes, greatly enriching the content of this system.

However, at this moment, Roy heard something else from Celine and turned his attention to the current situation.

"Master, after the Kingdom of Shalik opened up the trade route to the central continent in the southwest, various countries deployed troops on the border and reacted with vigilance."

Org and Naom each sent secret messages inquiring about the next steps.

"Don't act rashly yet. Try to find out what the mage is up to."

"Yes. In addition, the elves have sent an envoy to try to make contact with us..."

Then Celine brought up something else.

"Oh?"

Roy, slightly puzzled, inquired about the details.

"Their community seems to be in trouble."

It turns out that due to bloodline contamination, this elven race is finding it increasingly difficult to produce offspring, and even when they do, there are far more girls than boys, and their male prowess is waning.

They are on the verge of extinction.

The purpose of this visit is to seek help from the wizards of the high magic world to obtain a solution to the "low birth rate".

In order to obtain such a good prescription, they are willing to provide weapons, money and food, and even offer up various rare medicinal herbs that are special products of the forest!

Roy hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

"Then let's make the arrangements."

He had heard a little about the elves here, but he never expected that they would take the initiative to "come to his door for help".

……

A few days later, the Wizarding New Year arrived.

The delegation was granted an audience.

Roy sat high on his throne, forged from gleaming gold, surveying the elven envoys in the hall below.

They are indeed exceptionally beautiful and have a striking appearance; they belong to the species with high aesthetic appeal.

The delegation leader, Arya, had skin as white as snow, and her eyes possessed a natural allure.

She looked incredibly charming, accentuated by the jewelry she wore and the robes made from special spider silk.

Due to the prevailing social atmosphere, these jewels and robes, rather than being considered luxurious, are more accurately described as having an exotic and charming appeal.

Those who don't know the situation would think these are newly added songstresses and dancers in the mage tower, rather than some proper envoy.

Roy, who possesses the Eye of Hermes, sees strange holy names such as "Selka" (sow), "Putossi" (corruption), and "Pasognum" (pathogen) above the heads of these elves.

The elven envoys were stunned by his extraordinary and ethereal beauty, and each of them was captivated by his charm and allure.

However, after reading the confidential letter, Roy focused his attention on serious matters.

"Weapons and provisions alone are not of much help, and precious medicinal herbs may be of some use, but they are by no means indispensable."

The delegation leader, Arya, slightly raised her chin, revealing a perfectly timed smile: "Your Excellency, the magical artifacts of the Norman Elves are unique throughout the entire continent..."

"Perhaps that is true, but as an alchemist, my disciples and grand-disciples have all grown up. Can't they produce it themselves?"

"But you lot, lately you've even been struggling to maintain the magic of the Moonlight Well, and the pool of priests is becoming increasingly scarce..."

Arya's smile froze on her face.

The atmosphere inside the hall suddenly became heavy.

Roy, however, seemed oblivious and sat up abruptly: "I have studied your history and know why the Norman Elves have fallen to this state."

Forgive my bluntness, but this is entirely their own fault. Too many of your ancestors were high-ranking officials who consorted with goblins, defiling their pure bloodline.

The elves turned pale instantly.

They say you shouldn't hit someone in the face, but this great wizard actually exposed someone's shortcomings right away.

"Although we managed to avoid giving birth to goblin offspring by relying on the magical talents of the Silver superior race, the genetic conflict was already irreversible."

The males are like mules, with greatly reduced reproductive capacity. The females, having suffered abortions and contracted diseases, are mostly of goblin blood.

That's why you're becoming more and more dissolute and depraved.

Roy's voice was filled with undisguised sarcasm.

Arya gripped the scepter tightly, her knuckles turning white, but she couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal.

"Your Excellency, we have come in good faith to seek a solution, not to be lectured by you!"

You have no right to impose a condescending moral judgment on our race!

In the end, she could only express her dissatisfaction helplessly.

"Of course, I have no interest in this either. I just wanted to remind you that you are indeed in a difficult situation, but you don't have many bargaining chips either."

Seeking a solution...

can.

Fortunately, I do have a solution to help you solve this problem.

But you'll have to pay more!

"what?"

All the previous unpleasantness vanished.

Arya immediately focused her attention on the three words Roy had said: "There is a way."

"Do you really have a solution?"

"Isn't it just bloodline contamination?"

Why not just use a purification potion to re-edit the bloodline factors and restore it to its original purebred form?
If all else fails, even the womb is created using the "creation of chalk" method.

However, that's a different price.

Roy just disregarded diplomatic protocol and practically pointed his finger at the other party and cursed them.

This is a strategy.

However, there are reasons to use this strategy.

Because he really does have a way.

"So what exactly do you want?"

With the opportunity for racial revival at hand, Arya became wary, using a strategy of advance as a means of retreat.

“I am the princess of the Norman Elf race, and I can make this decision on behalf of my mother, Vallina.”

Roy pondered for a moment and said, "I need you to send troops, at least in the form of hiring heroes to serve us!"

This race, though promiscuous, depraved, and degenerate...

But the essence of elves remains, and their bloodline instincts are still very strong.

The Queen Mother mentioned by Arya, the Elf Queen Vallina, and the High Priest who has not yet appeared are both Level 3 mages, while Arya herself is Level 2.

The delegation also included quite a few second-level and first-level mages.

He is perfectly capable of leading troops into battle as a hero.

******
"Lord Roy, have they agreed?"

"accepted."

"That's wonderful! As far as I know, almost every member of the Nomon Elf race possesses strength of at least Level One upon reaching adulthood, making them capable of serving as hero-level warriors. A few outstanding individuals, as well as members of the royal family and legendary descendants, are even more likely to reach Level Two or Three."

In addition, there's their lifespan as a naturally long-lived species...

He is proficient in both magic and martial arts, and a true all-rounder.

In terms of both depth and breadth of knowledge, it is no less than that of an ordinary dragon!

Shortly afterward, Roy returned to the upper area.

After a brief inquiry, Artea and Freya, among others, showed their delight.

Nisha then asked, "Are you really sure?"

"of course."

Roy said confidently.

His experience at Fengrang Garden taught him the secrets of bloodline evolution and creative regeneration.

After breeding the Golden Dragon offspring, they completely mastered the related breeding methods.

If they can even deal with the origin of dragons, then refining the true blood of elves and creating purebred elves is naturally a piece of cake.

"Then you can be considered their savior, wait, the breeding elves..."

Don't ever use this as an excuse to mess around with them!

Furthermore, the wizards under his command must be forbidden from causing trouble throughout the entire tower.

"If I were to contract a disease, that would be terrible."

The tragedy of the elves stemmed from the indulgence of certain individuals.

One person's downfall brings disaster to the whole village.

This is by no means a rare occurrence within this small circle.

The Norman elves of this world are essentially gender-swapped goblins in disguise, and she truly despises them from the bottom of her heart.

"Isn't this blatant discrimination?"

Roy chuckled and sighed.

"Shouldn't there be discrimination?"

Nisha was perfectly justified.

"These depraved creatures will most likely be reborn as succubi in the abyss after they die; they are beyond redemption."

Even their racial god abandoned this branch, making them even worse off than us dark elves.

At this moment, Prandtse came out from the other side, her face also full of disgust.

"Dark elves are just as corrupt and decadent, but at least we have the Spider Queen to worship."

The bloodline of drow elves is essentially that of spider-like monsters, transformed into spider-like drow elves, not the filthy, vile, and irredeemable mud-blooded goblins!

Okay, one by one, they're all racists.

But in this magical world, it's actually quite reasonable.

Because this place is home to many different ethnic groups and civilizations vying for dominance, disregarding racial interests could truly lead to national extinction and the extinction of one's race.

……

After that, Roy began discussing a collaboration with Arya.

From the information he had gathered earlier, he already knew that this elven tribe had been harassed by mages.

The mages coveted the orcs' manpower and recruited powerful troops by befriending them.

Roy simply chose the elf.

The two sides are already natural allies, but they need to have enough value to be valued by each other.

Now, Roy is demonstrating his powerful alchemical abilities.

In just over half a month, from gene sequencing to editing and modification, and then to developing the magic potion, a special version targeting the Norman elves was created in one go.

"Bloodline Purification Potion (Level 1)..."

"A purification potion specially made for Norman elves to remove goblin blood. It can effectively suppress the instincts brought about by their racial bloodline, repair genetic defects, and return them to their original species..."

Arya also possessed some magical identification abilities, and after confirming the general idea, she was genuinely shocked.

“We’ve also consulted mages and wizards like you before.”

But neither the legendary sorcerer Hosdim nor the great wizard Pronos could do anything about it!

She was truly amazed by the level of skill Roy displayed.

For a moment, I couldn't help but be mesmerized.

"Lord Roy, I have a favor to ask."

"Oh?"

"Please grant us the seed of life, so that our entire mission may become pregnant!"

With racial interests at stake, Arya disregarded her shyness and boldly made her request.

"If we could benefit from your bloodline improvement, we would be willing to offer up our clan's most precious treasure: the Moon Well water, which can be used to create Mana Restoration Potions!"

"forget it."

Roy shook his head.

That thing is indeed quite precious.

But he's not that kind of person.

Arya was not discouraged by the rejection; her eyes darted around, and it was unclear what she was planning.

……

In early February, the list of available heroes for the Norman Elves was quickly sent over, detailing each elf's abilities, as well as their measurements, weight, and artistic portraits...

"Wait, something strange seems to have gotten mixed in!"

On the front lines, the heroes of the Araghi world, including Kelado, Kenlun, Betang, and Odion, were all utterly bewildered.

"Are these really heroes available for hire, or just top courtesans from some foreign brothel?"

"He truly is a hero..."

Don't let their appearance fool you; these mages are incredibly powerful!

"Oh?"

During their conversation, Kairado and the others learned that a mage is a powerful profession that can sign a life-bound contract with the spirits of nature and control specific types of elements.

When paired with professions such as mage, warlock, and ranger, it grants exceptionally powerful additional abilities.

Therefore, many elves choose to take on powerful melee classes, such as sword dancer, magic archer, spellcaster, sword saint, etc., and then combine them with the powerful spellcasting ability of a mage, which is equivalent to "no loss in part-time work"!
Imagine a mage launching a magical attack from 800 miles away, unleashing a barrage of large meteors, fire dragons, and firestorms as if they were free.

After going through countless hardships and finally managing to get close enough to reach a suitable combat range, you discover that your opponent is a melee class capable of wiping out an entire army with just a longsword...

Sword Saint!

The level of despair was no less than that of an ordinary heretic encountering a savior who could perform divine intervention.

But now, these elves have become his allies.

"About ten level-two mages..."

Nearly a hundred first-level mages are on standby!
Depending on their respective rotation schedules, they can also choose…

But who can explain this?

Why are sexy and alluring artistic photos used on the recruitment page?

Can this be considered a real hero?
Kairado and the others were really suspicious.

……

In contrast, Roy didn't have as many troubles inside the Wizard's Tower.

He is now focusing more on the gains he has made.

In addition to the trade with his tribe, he also negotiated other terms of the deal separately with the royal family of the Norman Elves, namely Arya and her mother, Vallina.

Although he failed to reach a deal with the mage, he still had relevant information that gave him hope of transforming the angel Nefera.

As previously predicted, these artificial spirits also have the potential to be transformed into mages, especially elementalists.

******
In addition, Roy also obtained some special things from the Norman elves, namely the local specialties of this world, such as medicinal herbs and precious minerals that can only be found in deep mountains and forests.

The will of this world is quite favorable to the elves. They are quite powerful and often reside in places where spiritual veins converge.

It is only in recent years, with difficulties in reproduction, that a sense of crisis has gradually arisen.

Otherwise, they might not be so willing to buy it.

Even if powerful figures like Roy or legendary mages were to arrive, they would still have to cooperate with these local strongmen if they wanted to rule the world.

Because the situation in this world is different from others; there are quite a few level-three powerhouses in each race alone.

The total amount added up was enough to easily drive away the invaders and prevent them from gaining any advantage.

After organizing all the findings and assigning various research tasks, Roy began his attempt to modify the angel Nefera.

Nefera the Angel, and her second daughter Grenita, are artificial beings he created himself.

Originally, this kind of golden soul, which is at the level of a holy spirit, naturally possesses the right to sign a life-bound contract.

Therefore, he plans to start by transforming Grenita into his own "Elementalist".

……

Mid-February, at the top of the Nehebur Wizard Tower, in the alchemy room.

Roy led Freya and Grenita inside, and floating magical runes lit up in the air, like lights being turned on.

Bathed in cool, blue-white light, the petite angel Nefera lay quietly on the experimental table made of mithril and radiant gold, her long silver-white hair spreading out like moonlight.

"let's start."

Roy whispered something, and Freya behind him immediately began to get busy, making preliminary preparations for his experiment.

He then turned and walked to a counter on the side, taking out a crystal that shimmered with lightning from a sealed container.

This is the "Heart of Thunder" obtained from the Norman Elves, containing the purest crystallization of lightning elements.

Long ago, he learned that fourth-level magic would begin to crystallize, exhibiting characteristics of different domains such as spiritual materialization, deification, domains, concepts, law manifestation, law runes, and law remnants.

In fact, these are all different ways of saying the same thing, or different forms of presentation.

This "Heart of Thunder" is essentially the so-called "residue of the Law of Thunder"!
According to research in "Magic Crystal Studies" and "Theology," it can be concluded that this is actually a "crystallized product" of deities such as "Thor" condensing during the operation of the world's will.

Therefore, these can almost be considered natural fragments of divinity, only they are not yet fully formed.

They are all at the same level, level four materials.

A top-tier elementalist is essentially similar to the God of Thunder...

This is essentially an experiment on "artificial demon gods"!

It is said that there are countless paths to the truth, but in the end, they all lead to the same destination.

Roy had previously studied a wide range of subjects, but now he was gaining a deeper and deeper understanding of and enjoying this characteristic.

He has mastered all sorts of skills and abilities.

The prior knowledge was already well understood.

This includes the implantation of elemental cores, the reconstruction of soul circuits, and the formation of a destiny contract.

Any one of them could potentially trap a master wizard in place, requiring hundreds or even thousands of years to overcome the challenge.

Even with readily available materials in libraries, or racial secrets like those provided by the Norman elves, it would still take decades or even centuries to verify and master them.

For him, these were simply innate talents, like instincts.

Roy quickly dissolved the Heart of Thunder, and the process of reversing and crystallizing it became the "Origin of Thunder".

Then, starlight sprinkled down on Grenita.

As the incantation was chanted, the crystals slowly merged into the body of the Nefera angel. Blue and white electric patterns began to emerge beneath her translucent skin, and the air in the room began to stir, with tiny arcs of electricity leaping and flashing.

With the transformation of the entire golden soul, the essence and outward form of this Nefera angel began to manifest as a pure silver-white orb of lightning.

The normally violent lightning was naturally tamed.

Grenita's body began to change.

The originally translucent wings gradually developed golden edges, and the silver patterns resembled the emblem of thunder. Arcs of electricity and sparks also began to appear behind its head, like a ring-shaped halo of a demon god's manifestation.

Even the eyes...

Although her eyes were tightly closed, lightning flashed between her eyelashes.

The next moment, a new pair of light feathers, resembling flowing wings, slowly grew from the back of the creature.

“Gernita…”

It's become a four-winged creature!

Freya, standing beside her, exclaimed in genuine surprise.

Genita slowly sat up, gently stroking the feather ribbons, feeling utterly astonished.

Roy nodded in satisfaction: "It seems like it worked. Let's go to the testing grounds and let me see your new power."

Unbeknownst to anyone, the Eye of Hermes has already revealed Grenita's true nature at this moment.

It was indeed a successful transformation, turning him into a lightning elemental mage with the heart of thunder.

……

Shortly after.

The spellcasting training room is a specialized testing area.

Grenita raised her right hand, and a ball of lightning condensed at her fingertips.

With a gentle flick, the lightning ball instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning, striking the distant target precisely and turning it into charred remains.

Immediately following, another straight bolt of lightning appeared.

"Charged Bomb", "Ball Lightning", "Lightning Nova"...

The powerful magical force destroyed another target.

After that, once outside, he unleashed a level 3, 9th-circle spell, "Lightning Storm," into the wilderness!
This is a wide-area destructive magic modified from the 7th Ring "Weather Manipulation" basic model by combining a super lightning beam and a group attack module. It requires a mental strength of 2000-3000 degrees to manipulate the power of nature and cast it.

But in the hands of this mage, it was like a natural response, completely ignoring the original rules of spellcasting!
"very good."

Seeing this, Roy's lips curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

"This is indeed real power, approaching the power to manipulate the laws of nature!"

Once successfully modified, Grenita will become one of her most powerful combat forces, an artificial elementalist.

More importantly, given enough materials at the level of law remnants, these things can be mass-produced...

In this way, he and his wizards gained mastery of the various elemental spellcasting abilities that elemental wizards had always dreamed of.

It could even go further and be integrated into equipment for wider application!
With that in mind, Roy gave Freya some more instructions and immediately arranged for the next experiment, which he then began to try.

(End of this chapter)
