Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 827 Relocating the Indigenous People (4-in-1)

After everyone left, Roy returned to the alchemy room, contacted his original body residing in the void of the starry sea, and sensed it for a while.

At this moment, after absorbing the free-floating mana in the star sea, his spiritual power attribute has naturally increased to nearly 19200 degrees in the 28 years since his advancement.

The blessing brought by the "Words of Wisdom" has also reached an unprecedented height of 9800 points.

This calculation starts from the values ​​of 20000 degrees and 5260 degrees when the new Grand Wizard was appointed.

The natural growth over the years has been a mere 200 and 30, but the artificial demon gods, gnoll gods, shadow demon kings, and goddesses of fate have been forged one after another...

The amounts have increased significantly, often reaching thousands or even two thousand.

Roy thus sensed the existence of a certain bottleneck.

"It seems that my physical spirit is becoming increasingly difficult to enhance..."

With such a massive scale, maintaining its own existence is already difficult. Naturally, the growth rate is still between 5 and 10 degrees, which is less than the original level three.

"Do I have to spend thousands of years naturally increasing my mental strength to over 50000 degrees before I can seek further advancement?"

This seems quite common and natural to ordinary great wizards and demigods.

Many life forms even cease to exist completely after reaching around 30000 degrees Celsius.

but……

I am unwilling to stand still and be unable to continue!

If we keep going like this, perhaps we can actually improve after three to five thousand years.

But what about the future? With such a large span of hundreds of thousands of degrees, will it take tens of thousands of years?

Therefore, the effect of this natural growth is almost negligible.

"Fortunately, I relied on spiritual items before, and later I refined artificial demon gods..."

Both can be further improved.

And now, these holy name runes seem to have a similar effect?
Because it can replace meditation, transform and train one's mind, and to some extent, shape the mind.

Artificial demons are often associated with conquering a world and hunting down a god.

Although they had succeeded one after another before, it seemed like a very simple thing, but it was actually not simple at all, and it was even more impossible for an ordinary apprentice to imitate it.

This sacred rune provides a new avenue for growth.

Although it offers little direct help to oneself, it is undoubtedly a great aid for junior apprentices in manifesting and embodying will runes.

Its applicable range is within the apprenticeship range of 1 to 5 degrees.

Therefore, the greatest significance of this thing is still to build ladders.

A unique advancement ladder has been built for "Luo's Alchemy".

All beginnings are hard.

After learning about these things, Roy not only did not despise its small effect, but also regarded it as a secret of "Roy's Alchemy" that was of equal significance to artificial demons, and included it in "The Book of Alchemy" as the introductory content of array formations.

……

In the days that followed, Nomon World entered a phase of rapid development.

At this moment, Roy and the Seven Towers Alliance share the same interests, and with a deliberate guidance, they can transform it into a completely new wizarding world.

Popularizing education is the top priority.

In addition to the six-year general education curriculum, students begin their apprenticeship in secondary school, gradually progressing to advanced apprenticeship and elite apprenticeship, where they begin to diverge.

Some of these alchemical geniuses were discovered.

The others were not wasted either; they were either assigned to other fields to become the backbone of their respective disciplines, or they were sent down to settle down and be distributed to various workshops, factories, mines, and farms in society, thus creating wealth for the wizarding camp as well.

In the blink of an eye, 10 years have passed.

The year is 13319 of the Seven Towers Era.

Inside the Nehebur Wizard Tower.

Roy's disciples, Ingnim, Tarento, and Fiani, returned from various places to attend the annual gathering and to give their reports to Roy.

By this time, they had already started working and settled down here.

In recent years, these three have successively advanced to the second level, achieving the goal of supplementing Roy's ranks with intermediate wizards. They took this opportunity to settle their work contracts with the Archademia and completely transfer their positions to Roy's command.

Meanwhile, the school of Roche alchemy officially separated from Arcademia and became the "Mtraken School," headed by several academies in Mtraken.

During this period, a teaching innovation was completed, which combined "Holy Name Runes" with "Alchemy Arrays" to construct entirely new teaching content.

These past few years have been a crucial time for evaluating the results of teaching reforms, and every time the three of them get together, their conversations inevitably revolve around these issues.

"In the parish I'm in charge of, elite apprentices and first-level wizards have emerged one after another..."

In terms of the number of participants, this has already exceeded the previous traditional syllabus!

"The effects of the Holy Name Runes have long been proven to be real and effective, and the alchemy array itself is a secret that our school has always kept in mind."

Now that you have mastered these two fundamentals, you are fully qualified to say that you have developed your own unique style!

"A new alchemy is emerging, and now we just have to wait for the results..."

"Level 1 within 20 years, Level 2 within 100 years, and Level 3 within 500 to 1000 years!"

Completely completing this process means that the school's theoretical foundation and practical achievements have matured to the point that it can completely replace the traditional schools of thought and become the mainstream of the present era.

The Okmi Tower of the Wizard Ancestor Tower will undergo a revolution for this purpose.

The teacher's will will also hold a larger share and have a greater voice in the world of Vizel!

By this time, they were already mature wizards, and after advancing to the second level, they were also qualified to look towards things much further into the future.

Also rushing back were Aug, Kelado, and others.

Compared to Ingenium and others who were more inclined towards clerical work, they appeared much more taciturn.

They were all military men, each commanding a legion within the army.

Now, Roy's forces have undergone several reorganizations and restructurings, and now consist of three major legions: the Araghi Legion, the Nehpur Legion, and the Yodakara Legion, which are respectively led by Kairado, Mosibi, and Aug.

Other alliance legions have been withdrawn, and former allies such as Isgor and Neom have gone to fight elsewhere.

They have no use for their skills for the time being, so they can only rest.

"In recent years, there have been no wars to fight, and I feel like my body is about to rust."

"Yeah, it would be great if there was a chance to get some benefits out of it."

Kairado and Mossbi come from different worlds, but they have become acquainted over the years.

They were talking privately.

Aug, however, closed his eyes to rest and did not participate in their conversation.

His strength and status far surpassed those two juniors, and he was also more experienced, knowing that Roy and the League wouldn't let them be idle for long.

Just then, Artedia walked in and announced, "Lord Roy has arrived."

Everyone straightened up, abandoning their relaxed state, and turned their gazes toward the head of the room.

On the huge high-backed chair, a figure gradually became more prominent, revealing Roy's projection.

******
On his throne, Roy looked around and, with just a glance, gave a general overview of everyone present.

"In recent years, Nomon World has developed rapidly, and has achieved its established goals in politics, economy, people's livelihood and military reform."

What deserves special recognition is that the Eastern Diocese, under the jurisdiction of Ingnium, has produced seven wizards of official rank, four of whom are outstanding talents in my field of alchemy!

The other departments should learn from him.

Upon hearing this, everyone cast envious glances at Ingnim.

Last year, Roy said something similar, but at that time, only five wizards had successfully advanced, three of whom were outstanding talents from the alchemy school.

This means that the teaching reform in the area he is in charge of has been successfully completed.

They also thoroughly mastered the practical application of "Holy Name Runes" and "Alchemy Arrays".

"I plan to allocate some resources to increase the number of places for them to go to the 'Hall of Destiny' for training, based on the percentage of wizards trained there."

Last year, two wizards were trained, so this year there will be two slots available, and this will continue in the future.

Upon hearing this, the envy in everyone's eyes intensified.

Even Aug and the others couldn't help but feel envious.

"Thank you teacher!"

Ingenium's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said...

"The Hall of Destiny"...

This is the holy site of the Destiny Cult, which has emerged in recent years, and the place where the Goddess of Destiny resides.

The location is near the "Aiod Forest" where the original God of Fate, Fatis, hid.

The so-called trial was a secret realm that Roy, together with the goddess of fate Moira, set up as a testing ground.

A series of methods, including questioning the mind and awakening the will, help awaken the holy name.

After completing this ritual of self-declaration and manifestation of one's destiny, the awakened holy name itself will transform into a kind of soul talent, projected onto the natal chart.

This is somewhat similar to alchemical talent, but it is not limited to alchemical talent.

To some extent, this can replace "wizard maxims" and become the basis for a wizard's advancement!
This is a recent research finding that these things in the Holy Name World are originally related to the mind and the origin.

However, to date, only native inhabitants of the local world have been able to use "sacred names" instead of "wizard mantras" to complete formal rank advancement.

The specific reason is unknown, and Roy is also using this so-called experience to collect data and study the patterns.

After discussing this matter, Roy went on to talk about some external developments and global defense.

This is related to Kairadore and others.

"In recent years, the world has been at peace. The strength of the natives alone has been enough to maintain order and eliminate alien monsters such as goblins and kobolds."

In this world, there are no dangerous scenarios like the fog zone, so there is no place for you to use your skills for the time being.

However, the alliance will soon be planning a new round of war, summoning me to the front lines where stronger warriors are needed even more...

You will soon face new challenges.

Don't neglect your daily practice and improvement.

This statement was primarily directed at Keira and Mossbi.

They were all newcomers from the native world, lacking in natural talent and sufficient time to grow, making them unable to withstand high-intensity interdimensional warfare.

If they were sent to those battlefields immediately, they would only become cannon fodder.

Therefore, even if they have the opportunity, it may not be their turn.

However, Roy then secretly told Aug something via telepathy.

"There's a place that might suit you: the marine world of Mare, where some 'ancient beasts' containing the flesh and blood of primal life have appeared..."

The alliance needs to send someone to handle this.

The marine world Marai that he spoke of was the very place where he had once obtained seabed silt.

For some special reason, the water there was drained, turning it into a desolate world of only silt and desert.

But recently, for some unknown reason, some enormous and powerful strange beasts have appeared.

The shaman guarding the place detected a composite of various genes from ancient times within it, and thus called it the "Ancient Beast".

Aug nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"I would like to go."

This was a job Roy found for him; it involved a monster with flesh and blood, unlike those strange creatures or demons that were difficult to deal with.

Perhaps we can even find ways to stimulate the evolution of life and further enhance physical strength.

For him, a chakra warrior from Yodakara, this was quite a good job.

……

"Master, your arrangements have been made."

A moment later, the crowd dispersed, and the tower spirit Celine immediately gave her feedback.

Within the world, the trials on the side of the goddess of fate, Moira, are decided by his own word, without needing to submit an application to the outside world.

However, the relocation of Auger, as well as other school-related resources, will require coordination with the alliance.

For example, the expenses for setting out on expeditions were applied for by the other high wizards who were currently fighting in the world of Mare from the Alliance.

The great wizard himself also contributed a portion.

"The nature of this matter is roughly equivalent to a rebellion occurring in the Holy Name World that I have now conquered..."

For example, elves causing trouble or dwarves resisting.

Even worse, the hidden dangers of the previous demonic descent have also surfaced.

But I have already left this world to fight in other places.

The indigenous people alone are not enough to solve these problems, so it is necessary to recruit them from elsewhere.

At that time, I will also have to use my own resources, either at my own expense or by applying to the alliance...

Fortunately, the process of subduing the powerful natives went relatively smoothly, and the matter of the demons' descent was resolved thoroughly enough. There shouldn't be any relapses in the near future.

Hearing him say that, Nisha stepped out from the side and said with a smile, "The victory at that time did indeed resolve many potential problems, which saved us a lot of trouble."

The potential benefits from post-war reconstruction and a series of production recovery efforts are substantial.

It saved at least several billion dollars in expenses!
This makes the books look very good; the world is no longer requiring him to pay out of his own pocket, but has instead begun to make a profit.

Although it only amounts to a few hundred million each year, you have to add the wizards, apprentices, and many more potential resources and profits.

Those are not included in the accounts.

Roy was in a good mood and talked with her about related matters for a while. Inevitably, they also talked about forming the Nomon World Alliance and selecting legion commanders.

This is a common practice for wizards conquering other worlds, just like the centaur legions they formed in the past in Nightland. Their official designation was actually the Nightland Alliance, which was under the control of the centaur emperor.

He now also needs to recruit soldiers for the alliance, drawing strong individuals from this world to serve in the other world.

"The Nomen elves must be removed. They have considerable potential strength, and if anything changes, they will become a huge threat!"

******
Soon, the elven princess Arya was summoned to an audience.

"Lord Roy, what are your orders?"

The princess also had designs on the handsome Lord Roy, and asked with a hint of flattery.

"There is something I want to discuss with your mother."

After a moment's consideration, Roy conveyed his thoughts.

Arya was no mere figurehead; upon hearing this, she immediately understood the whole story.

"I will tell her."

The elven princess spoke with a serious expression.

"Be sure to convey the message completely."

"I have never intended to target your tribe, but this has always been the custom of wizards and the arrangements of the alliance." Roy gave this special reminder, considering that the tribe was relatively obedient.

……

The land of elves, the royal court.

The Elf Queen, the High Priest, and the heroes of their respective tribes gathered to discuss this matter.

"Is this the beginning of discarding them after they've served their purpose? These wizards..."

I knew it! They weren't up to any good!

"The world of Nomen is the root of our people. We will not leave our homeland, nor do we want to go out and fight!"

"Yes, we're not leaving!"

Many elves reacted strongly to this, expressing their indignation.

Queen Vallina listened to these words, a trace of sorrow appearing on her beautiful face, and she remained silent for a long time.

She emotionally agreed with what these people said, and she also knew that the elves of the Nomen world were attached to their homeland and had long adopted a relatively closed and conservative lifestyle.

Of course, this does not refer to conservatism in matters of love between men and women or in procreation, but rather to conservatism in terms of living environment and living conditions.

Even when indulging in sensual pleasures, they preferred to capture orcs in orc villages rather than move to human metropolises...

What they enjoy is the pastoral scenery and jungle life.

How could they possibly have gone so far as to another world?
"High Priest, what do you think?"

Vallina turned her head and looked at her partner beside her.

High Priestess Salna, also of royal lineage, possesses a similar enviable figure and beautiful face to the Elf Queen. However, unlike her, her face is covered with colorful pigments made from various herbs and minerals, forming mysterious patterns.

Their image and temperament also gained a more profound and unfathomable quality.

Holding the sacred artifact of her clan in her hand, the Moonlight Staff with spiraling tendrils around its head, resembling a miniature model of the bright moon suspended within it, she spoke in a clear and cold voice.

"It's best to comply, otherwise a crisis could be imminent!"

Without any lecturing or agreement, Salna saw through the bluff of the tribal leaders.

It's like a cat hissing, but in the end, it still has to submit to humans.

Without demigod-level power, they might be able to cause trouble, rebel, and even temporarily gain some advantage.

But in the end, they still had to submit to a great wizard like Roy and obediently follow his arrangements.

"That's true. If the wizards didn't trust us, they wouldn't have let us stay in this world."

"Either you obey orders and be transferred, or you'll be eliminated..."

"But, is it really going to end like this..."

Everyone was greatly shocked and furious.

"Let's forget about it. Let's take this opportunity to propose some terms in exchange. That would be a more dignified way to deal with it."

Finally, the Queen shook her head and made her decision.

……

"Huh? You agreed so easily?"

It seems the Elf Queen is quite pragmatic and understands the prevailing trend!

Inside the Nehebul Wizard Tower, Roy was also very pleased to learn of the other party's choice.

In fact, at this point, it has a strong sense of weakening the power of regional warlords.

Having an overly powerful army under one's command, especially one like the Norman Elves, a powerful being from another world that has just been subdued, may not necessarily be a good thing.

Unlike Aug, they cannot become honorary wizards.

Finding an excuse to cut back, or even moving away from this world, are both necessary measures.

This process will take anywhere from several decades to several hundred years, depending on the individual abilities of each great wizard and the resources they possess.

But that's what most people would do.

Otherwise, it's uncertain who would rule the Nomon world.

There is a major premise here: Roy is ultimately going to leave this world, and all his avatars and powerful subordinates may also leave.

It's impossible for them to remain the dominant family.

Soon, a detailed relocation plan and terms for exchanging benefits were also released.

Vallina secretly made a pact with Roy, and she and High Priestess Vallina agreed to move into Roy's wizard tower and become his warriors.

Roy will equip his legions with the highest standards, and even entrust him with the command of the entire Norman world's allied forces.

They are also responsible for helping Arya advance in rank and finding enough resources to help her become a level three powerhouse.

In addition, if a suitable world is found in the future, they should be allowed to have new fiefdoms and enjoy larger and better forests.

Like dragons, elves are citizens of the universe, and their bloodline is blessed by nature in the forest.

If we find a place similar to Brevorel in the world of Heroes, we might actually be able to establish an elven land and create a new tribe.

At that time, all military merits will be rewarded, and freedom will be returned.

They will continue to provide generals to Roy's legions on a mercenary basis in order to fulfill their duty of loyalty.

Roy was quite pleased with this.

Although there are some troublesome conditions involved, such as helping the elf princesses advance in rank and finding them territories.

However, compared to the increased powerful subordinates under his command and the adjustment of the power structure in the Nomen world, these are minor matters.

He was also willing to make an "exchange" for it.

But this relief didn't last long; another report that followed infuriated him.

The dwarves refused...

King Petra, the dwarf, disagreed with the relocation, saying they would guard their ancestral home in Myingrutan, their sacred mountain and their eternal home.

"They actually refused..."

That dwarf king Petra really is a 'stone', just like his name suggests!
I think he's like a rock in a toilet—stinky and hard!

Roy snorted coldly, quite dissatisfied.

"So what should we do now?"
Petra, the Dwarf King, is a Level 3 Warrior, and most of the Dwarves under her command are also excellent craftsmen and miners.

Moreover, having surrendered relatively early, they were included in the category of 'countries not to be conquered,' making them permanent allies of the Meritus Empire…

When Nisha learned of this, she quickly came to discuss it with her.

"From their perspective, this matter is understandable, but the general trend will never change based on these things."

So, they have to move, whether they like it or not!

Roy said to her.

If we can't be firm and resolve this matter decisively, the elves might change their minds.

This is absolutely not okay.

******
At this time, Maingrotan.

Inside the underground cave of the Holy Mountain Royal City.

A burly dwarf, as big as a wine barrel, stood still, his eyes filled with complex emotions as he watched the people working below.

Many dwarves hummed ancient miners' songs as they worked, their rough voices echoing through the caverns, accompanied by the sounds of shovels striking ore.

"Your Majesty, this year's ore production is 30% higher than last year's, which is truly wonderful news!"

At this moment, an older dwarf stepped forward, looking somewhat pleased, and said to him.

Petra did not turn around, but simply nodded slightly.

His gaze fell on the young dwarves, and seeing the weathered faces of many of them, who still looked childish, as well as the calluses on their hands and feet, a complex feeling welled up in his heart.

These young people should be learning their skills in front of the forge, instead of spending their days deep underground with stubborn rocks.

But the tribe needed iron ore, weapons, gold coins, and food.

The backwardness of production techniques forced many talented members of the tribe to engage in heavy and low-end work.

This was a structural choice, and as the Dwarf King, he had no other option.

"This may not necessarily be a good thing, because the earth's veins are becoming increasingly unstable. It's possible that the energy from the veins is converting more ores into iron. If this continues, it could overflow and even cause a volcanic eruption..."

After letting out a sigh, Petra finally turned around and said in a serious tone.

The old dwarf's expression hardened: "Yes, I will arrange for more people to patrol."

"Besides, we are also building a legacy for our descendants and enjoying their wealth..."

Increased production isn't necessarily a good thing!

After that, Petra sighed again and expressed her concerns.

While the old dwarf was still in shock, he turned around and walked heavily toward the other side of the mine.

But after walking only a few steps, they stopped.

Because a mysterious figure appeared before him.

He wore a gray-black cloak, his whole body seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious mist, and his profound and unfathomable temperament was something that ordinary mortals could hardly possess.

Petra, the dwarf king, suddenly sharpened her gaze.

"Who is this?"

As a level three expert, he could sense the aura of that transcendent, god-like being.

However, because he was a level three expert, he was not particularly afraid.

Because no matter how strong the opponent is, they are only descending in an avatar.

What appeared before my eyes was merely a projection of my thoughts.

“I am Roy.”

The figure took a few steps, and his handsome face was revealed under the illumination of the enclosed gas lamp beside him.

"The Great Wizard... Roy!"

Petra frowned.

"What brings you here, sir? Is it because of the previous refusal?"

"Indeed, I would like to know why you are unwilling to agree to my conditions."

"Didn't I already say in my reply that we have lived here for generations and have never had the intention of moving, much less leaving this world to obey you and go to some other world to fight..."

We also love peace and do not want to be drawn into a war with the mages.

My previous reliance on you was merely a temporary measure.

Besides, we've paid a price for this; we've sacrificed a considerable amount of minerals and weapons.

"So that's what you were thinking. No wonder..."

Roy murmured softly, having roughly grasped the thoughts of the dwarf king.

"From a personal perspective, I can actually understand you quite well, and I would say it's 'understandable'!"

"Ok?"

The dwarf king paused slightly upon hearing this.

"However, as a ruler of a region, such limited vision and understanding is a serious dereliction of duty!"

Roy then changed the subject, offering criticism.

"Do you think it's really that easy for people in this world to just guard their ancestral home and mines and live a peaceful and uneventful life generation after generation?"
If you truly care about your people, you should not only not reject me, but also actively follow me to gain greater authority.

Only in this way can true freedom be achieved…

This sounds like a very counterintuitive logic at first glance, but from Roy's perspective, it is a dialectical contradiction such as backwardness leads to being bullied and freedom can only be obtained through restraint and bloodshed.

Throughout history, from ethnic groups, nations, and powers to organizations and individuals...

More or less, we are all somewhat powerless to control our own lives.

Living freely and according to one's own wishes is not so easy.

The Dwarf King's mindset is somewhat like that of an ostrich.

He wanted to live a traditional life in a small, peaceful country, free from uncertainty and risk, so that his people could live in peace and happiness. This was not wrong.

Roy actually respected and understood him very much.

But while I respect and understand them, I don't believe that they should live such a life and that they can truly enjoy a peaceful and tranquil existence.

If their own interests conflict with it, they will still stand firmly on their own side without hesitation.

Little did they know, Petra, the dwarf king, wouldn't listen to a word they said.

"I respect that you are a powerful being from another world, but that does not mean that you should grovel before me like those elves, orcs, and humans!"
If you try to force me and my people, we will defend ourselves at all costs!

"You're not wrong, you're just a little out of touch with reality."

Roy glanced at him.

Once again confirmed, this guy really is a rock in the latrine.

……

Not long after, inside the Nehebur Wizard Tower.

Roy opened his eyes and gave instructions to Celine.

"Call Budiman and Ferru here."

Budiman is a member of the dwarven tribe who resides there as a "master blacksmith".

His life rank was not as high as that of Petra, the dwarf queen, but he was still quite prestigious among the dwarves.

Otherwise, the dwarves wouldn't have sent him as an envoy when they first came to their side.

As for Feru...

He is the son of Petra, the Dwarf Queen, and a prince of the Dwarves.

It was because he was captured by chance that the dwarves realized the existence of the crisis of extinction, and they had no choice but to agree to the conditions offered by the wizards and become a vassal force.

In fact, Petra, the dwarf king, was originally unwilling to get involved in the conflict.

Budiman and Ferru arrived quickly and, after passing Roy, respectfully inquired, "What are your orders, Your Excellency?"

"Now there's a difficult problem. You see, how exactly can we persuade Petra..."

Roy didn't hide anything and told them the whole story.

After hearing this, the two couldn't help but look troubled.

Because they suddenly realized that the choice that would determine the fate of the dwarves in this world was right before their eyes.
