Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 829 The Werewolf World (4-in-1)

Because of Akening's reminder, Roy paid special attention to the "Sions Federation".

"They are a world that focuses on technological capabilities, interstellar travel, and the development of psionic energy?"

What kind of messed-up tech tree is this?

When Roy learned this from the information, he was still somewhat unaccustomed to it.

But thinking about it carefully, the technological world I knew before that was where individuals were weak was truly a mess.

Space technology and biotechnology, energy development targeting individual living beings, and so on, are the mainstream of this magical universe.

Even so, science in this world is still hampered by individual limitations.

Only by abandoning the weak and painful flesh and blood and achieving mechanical ascension, or by uniting as one and turning to the path of godhood, can one completely escape this predicament.

But at that stage, science and magic were no longer fundamentally different; they could be said to have arrived at the same destination through different paths.

"The Cions Federation is most skilled in an ability called 'Conviction,' which, in the classification of the magic system, should belong to the category of 'psychic abilities.'"

For this reason, some great wizards once thought that those among them with supernatural abilities might be suitable to become wizards, and captured them for experiments.

Without exception, all of them failed.

Our apprentices cultivate "faith," and will embark on their path as superhumans, no longer able to become wizards.

Akening soon told Roy another important piece of news.

"Do you know the reason?"

Roy asked.

"We haven't figured out the reason yet, but some great wizards have speculated that it might be related to the laws of the entire universe."

"The laws of the universe..."

Roy nodded secretly.

This is something even more ethereal than the will of the world or the will of a plane; it can be said to involve the fundamental forces governing the entire universe.

Roy had no way to investigate this further for the time being and could only accept the fact.

"It seems unnecessary to invest too many resources in in-depth research."

Unless there's some perfect opportunity.

This thing is actually related to alchemy, for example, bloodline modulation and psionic cores.

However, the cost of acquisition is considerable, and support and maintenance also require costs.

……

Over the next few months, Roy closely monitored the battle reports from the front lines, and various messages kept coming back.

Fury World Defeat!

Leps World Defeat!
The world of Cooknos has been defeated!

The Rhine World War has been lost!

Tagore: The world is defeated!
Places where only high-ranking wizards were sent out to guard the outposts, without a grand wizard in charge, all failed.

The situation in the ground war can be described as a complete collapse.

Akenin brought up the matter again, and couldn't help but get a little angry.

"This is really terrible..."

Our great wizard is in the Ellen Starfield, in the Endless World, in Stellaia…

Only a handful of people, just two or three, are permanently stationed in the Osis plane, and some have been relocated previously.

If this continues, we might even lose the world of Osis, and even Knightland!

He tentatively asked Roy, "I remember that your resume mentions your experience visiting the worlds of Nightland and Osis. Would you be interested in going there to fight?"

Roy guessed that the previous complaints were fake, and this question was the real one.

"I should obey the alliance's orders in principle, but the situation in the Norman World is not optimistic either."

What if the mages return and fight their way back through the Nomon world, even launching surprise attacks on Nehebul and the Aragir world?

This wasn't an excuse; rather, this star field was originally a contested frontier region. It wasn't as stable as the rear, nor was it like the Aster world, which, due to the involvement of angels and demons, had entered a relatively stable state of balance.

Moreover, the current plane of Osis is a chaotic battlefield of four warring factions.

It wasn't just the Cions Federation that was swaggering around there; it seemed like the forces from the Abyss and Hell were also involved.

Long ago, during my time in Nightland, Chieftain Kael'thas, at the urging of the mages, had already communicated with the Abyss and summoned demons, leaving behind a hidden danger that would continue to harass.

The world of Osis only has half of the "Net of All Spirits," which is even less able to prevent demons from entering and leaving.

Moreover, that place is guarded by several true gods. Although those powerful figures have not yet personally intervened, they are enough to pose a significant threat to the great wizards and legendary mages who come and go.

Previously, the great wizards and legendary mages were reluctant to go there, precisely because of this.

Although Roy was quite confident in his strength, he was still only at level four and dared not be too arrogant.

Hearing him say that, Akhenin immediately understood his thoughts and sighed, "That's true, this area is also of utmost importance."

……

After ending the communication, Roy chuckled to himself, beginning to understand the thoughts of the immortals.

Although the battle on the Osis plane was chaotic, it was ultimately a contest between a few true gods and dozens or even hundreds of demigods, great wizards, and legendary mages.

The outcome of battles between top-tier experts is what truly matters; any exciting fighting below is merely temporary noise.

So even though the wizards were suffering repeated defeats, the Seven Towers Alliance remained calm, only regretting the loss of their interests there.

If we really need to deal with them urgently, we'll have to send out level 5 or even level 6 archmages.

With a level six archmage in charge, even the enemy's true gods dare not act rashly, and even demigod heroes and level four powerhouses have to restrain themselves.

Our level four forces are free to act and can openly take action against the warships and star fortresses of the Cions Federation.

The whole situation can then be revitalized.

Therefore, Roy would not consider entering the arena until several level-five archmages, or even level-six powerhouses, were present.

Such changes may take decades or even centuries, or even longer.

This is a lifetime in the eyes of ordinary people.

Even in the most intense high-magic battlefields, there are lucky places where one can steal a moment of peace for a lifetime.

However, Roy was also affected by Akenin's probing.

He had a vague premonition that the situation might change in the future.

"If they send me over there..."

Therefore, he began preparations in advance.

Sure enough, time flies.

Just four years later, Akhenin brought up the matter again, this time mentioning that a great wizard named Ulanakh had been transferred there.

"Lord Ulanakh is a newly promoted sixth-level Grand Wizard!"
He alone was enough to suppress the plane and subdue all the orc gods, legendary mages, and Federation warships that were there.

However, he was also stretched thin, and had suffered heavy losses in the Abyss Battlefield, leaving him with few legions at his disposal.

so……"

"Do you need us to provide support?"

Roy saw it clearly and readily agreed.

"no problem."

******
"what?"

Akkenin was taken aback.

Roy is now like other established high priests, a regional warlord who controls his own territory.

He controls three worlds; he could easily shut himself off and live his own life.

Surprisingly, they were quite "obedient".

Little did Roy know that the universe was not peaceful at the moment, and that the colonial wave had developed into the post-colonial era, which was the last chance to seize territory.

Once the top leaders are willing to make peace and each halt their expansion, then even if they wanted to start a war, they wouldn't be able to.

Without the support of those top-level powerhouses, how could a mere fourth or fifth-level great wizard possibly want to conquer and colonize across planes?

That's nothing short of a fool's dream.

Soon, Nisha learned of Roy's intentions and asked him a similar question.

Roy said, "This is no longer the Star Sea Era of 25 to 26 years ago, where any level four powerhouse could carve out a territory and develop freely."

Now it's all about power and finding a backer.

They were divided into several major factions to fight each other.

The Seven Towers Alliance is my power, my backer. If you don't obey and obediently go into battle, what do you want?

Moreover, I still have a choice now. Being proactive and choosing a good position and a good time to enter the game is better than being forcibly recruited.

Do you really think the alliance's will is meaningless? When those top-tier experts need people, won't they issue orders to use them?

"That's true."

Nisha suddenly realized.

Given the current situation, it's really better to fight as many games as possible while we still can.

Once all the troops at hand are used up, the territories already under their control will also have the capacity to generate new blood. After a few decades of recuperation and rest, they will have another powerful army.

Moreover, through previous campaigns, he had already built up the Araghi Legion, the Nehbur Legion, and now the newly formed Nomon Legion.

Roy gradually took over the responsibility of supporting even Aug's private army.

If we don't fight, then it's like we've raised them for nothing.

"However, we can't be too complacent. We need to take this opportunity to negotiate with the alliance!"

Unexpectedly, Roy, who had just seemed to be considering the bigger picture, immediately changed his tone.

"Anyway, we haven't set off yet, so there's still room for discussion."

"You're really cunning."

Nisha couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

……

After reporting Roy's willingness to go on the expedition, Akhenin immediately contacted him again to discuss the specific details.

As a result, Roy seemed to have changed his tune, starting to ask for this and that, demanding all sorts of policy support and special benefits.

Since he was among the first to agree to go there to fight, Akhenin didn't dare say much, for fear of upsetting the old man and causing him to change his mind.

In that case, it would be these red-robed rulers who would disrupt the overall situation.

We can only strive to do our best within our capabilities.

Roy was also a man of principle. He did not make demands without taking anything in return. Instead, he used his own advantages to discuss issues such as mineral resource supply, quotas for rare treasures, and alchemy commissions.

He had already begun to employ several alchemists and skilled blacksmiths, all of whom were essential for his continued development.

But at the same time, it is also about self-reliance, using technology and labor to obtain resources.

This is an "equivalent exchange." The alliance will not suffer losses in this matter; on the contrary, it can guarantee the supply of military supplies.

Therefore, the higher-ups quickly agreed to all the conditions he proposed, including but not limited to opening up various resource exchanges and contracting military supplies.

One of the major outcomes of the negotiations was that the military supplies for the conquest of the Osis plane could be entrusted to them.

This is definitely a lucrative job.

Roy was no longer concerned with whether he had enough commissions, but rather with whether he had the capacity to handle them and ensure the supply of military provisions.

The Alliance's need for war supplies is enormous. Following several defeats and the loss of territory across the world, they have a massive need for military supplies, various alchemical items, including equipment, potions, combat golems, and magical beasts...

They're all gone.

It is indeed necessary to have a production base on the front line so that supplies can be provided nearby.

Therefore, the current issue is actually testing the production capacity of the forces under their command.

Although Roy knew that the Alliance valued his ability to supply high-level wizards, or even great wizards, more.

However, whether his disciples and followers can seize this opportunity to develop is also a crucial factor.

……

"Celine, what is the current status of the supplies and reserves in the world of Araghi?"

What stage of development has the Mutraken school reached in the development of *Roche's Alchemy*?

Back in the central command room, Roy asked Tarling Celine a question.

He's so wealthy now that he doesn't even know how much he owns; without a proper tally, it's impossible to count it all.

Even Celine could only contact the mainframe periodically to get a rough estimate of the major projects.

"According to the census results from two years ago, the world of Aragir currently has 10.85 billion mu of gem mushroom fields, with an annual output value of 10 billion magic stones for various elemental gems, and other minerals, including magical metals and magical beast materials, worth approximately 3.54 million magic stones..."

While the academies primarily produce Shadow Wizards, the local community, after over two centuries of transformation and development, also boasts a million alchemy apprentices and certified craftsmen, producing 300 to 500 million enchanted items, 150 million vehicles, and 1200 million various potions and consumables annually…

In terms of reserves, thanks to your regular use of "Hermes Sealing" to preserve various gases, energy cores, and strategic materials such as potions and alchemical bombs, the reserve has accumulated approximately 120 billion standard units.

In addition, there are 80 flesh mushroom demon embryos and over 5 bottles of the 'Fountain of Life' series of concentrated potions, which can be cultivated or diluted at any time..."

Roy nodded slightly; the number was even larger than he had anticipated.

The world of Aragir, once a barren, low-magic world, has become an absolute armory and resource depot.

He then inquired further and learned that the Gem Mushroom Fields implemented a crop rotation system, and the annual production of Elemental Gem Dust had become quite stable.

The number of alchemy apprentices was also relatively saturated, allowing for the widespread use of various low-level alchemical items.

However, the market cultivated in the private sector is still able to meet the needs of maintaining its scale.

Currently, all workshops and production sites are operating at full capacity, capable of supporting three simultaneous interdimensional wars, and can be stably maintained for at least 20 years without affecting people's livelihoods and the economy.

Entering wartime control would allow for a significant increase in production capacity, but this would deplete some of the development potential, and it would not be used lightly unless absolutely necessary.

As for the development of the Mutraken school...

Celine then activated the light screen inside the tower, presenting a tree-like lineage of inheritance, displaying one character profile card after another in the form of a character relationship diagram.

******
Starting with Megalofia, Genie, Ingnim, and others, the "Alchemy Circle Research Society" has continued to develop and has now become one of the most influential mainstream alchemy factions in the Academy of Archademia.

Specifically, the number of registered reserve members (apprentices) is as high as 10094, and the number of formal members (level one and above) is 525.

It has taken a full 147 years to develop to its current state, which doesn't seem like a long time.

However, it should be noted that the Academy of Archademia is not solely dedicated to alchemy, nor is it the sole institution where the Rhodes alchemy tradition is passed down.

This society wasn't an organization with strict entry and exit rules, and it even involved personal obligations. Many people came and went, eventually going to other planes to fight, and without continuing to pay their dues, they lost contact.

Some people die of old age, transfer schools, or simply drop out.

Reaching this scale is already quite astonishing.

Following that, Celine showed the situation in the Temple World of Egris.

Numerous academies have been established there, and alchemy is flourishing, but due to its world ranking and magical foundation, it has not yet been able to rival Arcademia.

However, the number of reserve members (apprentices) is as high as 3, and the number of formal members (level one and above) has also accumulated to over a hundred.

Moreover, compared to the main branch of the Academy of Arcademia, the local branches have a greater control over their members and a more tightly organized structure.

The vast majority of members, once they join, never leave, and spend their entire lives interacting and communicating with each other as members, gradually forming a tight organization similar to a guild.

That's the tradition of hereditary monastic orders.

The Secret Order no longer exists, but the organization remains tightly knit and reliable, always ready to fight.

As for "Luo's Alchemy," it has already been spread to the various worlds that members of the various societies visit through "The Book of Alchemy" (which is a fusion of "The Book of Taboo," "The Book of Souls," "The Book of Truth," and "The Book of Formations").

Even Celine couldn't fully grasp the specifics; she could only roughly deduce from the feedback of the new pages of the Alchemy Book that it was continuously taking root in various worlds and developing into a vast and profound academic system.

It includes alchemy arrays, sacrificial enhancements, identification techniques, and more than ten recently added branches such as affixes and holy runes.

Moreover, in the foreseeable future, it will further evolve and develop, gradually giving rise to the pinnacle of "artificial demon gods".

This means that not only Roy himself can achieve this, but others will also have the potential to do so.

"No wonder I've been feeling like my Alchemy Godhead is overflowing with divine power lately, like I can never use it all up. So that's what's going on."

Roy chuckled softly.

He did not follow the path to godhood, but due to his alchemical talent, he possessed the [Alchemy Godhood], and it was even a true god-level godhood.

The development of a school of thought can empower it and even further promote its growth.

Therefore, it has always been in a state of abundant and inexhaustible divine power.

This doesn't even take into account the general believers. If they wanted, they could bring all the secular artisans and blacksmiths under their management, and even incorporate races like dwarves, which would create even more sources of faith power.

It's not that I don't care, but that I can't do it.

……

After taking stock, Roy gave the order for his units to operate according to the standards of pre-battle preparation.

The new batch of apprentices, if they entered the tower during their leisure time many years ago, have now graduated from the junior apprentice level and entered the intermediate examination.

This day happened to be the day of the final exams.

Just as in the Okmi Tower, the Nehebul Tower of Wizards also held similar examinations and dismissed unqualified apprentices.

Roy certainly couldn't personally oversee the specific selections, but he did get a general overview of the situation.

"Since the implementation of the Holy Name Rune, the retention rate of low-level apprentices has increased significantly. The difference between mediocre and genius in the conventional sense is no longer significant at the apprentice stage."

Therefore, about 80% of the 800 or so junior apprentices enrolled each year are retained.

After that, there's a 3-year intermediate stage, and then a 3-year advanced stage, with an attrition rate of around 50%...

In other words, after a complete 12-year education, the number of senior apprentices who can remain is around 160.

After that, the elimination rate for both the Source of Magic and the Wizard's Maxims was 90%... which ultimately resulted in only 1-2 of the most outstanding individuals being promoted to full-fledged wizards!

The birth of an elite apprentice or even a formal wizard depends on both their own talent and external conditions.

One major environmental factor is the expansion plan and the demands of interdimensional warfare.

In fact, many elite apprentices are essentially advanced apprentices, which is completely different from the cultivation logic of the Okmesh Tower period.

After that, artificially controlling the supply of materials for the source of magic can also affect the advancement of non-direct lineage formal wizards.

If necessary, Roy can open up the supply and increase the world's official wizard production to more than 10 per year.

But that requires the support of corresponding positions and alchemy commissions.

Therefore, there was some restraint before.

"But now, the situation is different."

The Seven Towers Alliance has agreed to entrust me with the supply of military materials for the front lines, and there is also a large amount of accumulated gem dust and various minerals that need to be thoroughly disposed of.

Then, in the coming decades, we will expand enrollment as planned...

Let's add about 300 more wizard slots!

Roy considered for a moment and then gave instructions to Nisha.

"We can't just focus on the Nomon world; we also need 100 Alaj worlds and 100 Nehpur worlds."

With just a few words, the fate of many elite apprentices, and even first-level wizards, was decided.

War is like a monster that devours all talent, passion, and desire.

Roy knew it was cruel, but on the other hand, people from such low-level worlds, unless they had extraordinary talent that was rare even once in a millennium, had almost no chance of getting ahead.

It was this process of development, along with the demands of war, that provided them with those few insignificant opportunities.

However, this insignificance is only relative to the overall situation.

For them personally, it could be described as a life-changing turnaround.

After that, many people suddenly found that the rewards for the task had become more generous, and in addition to normal necessary expenses, the accumulation of various materials and resources had increased.

Those with even a little talent were given the opportunity to access secret knowledge.

In the blink of an eye, another three years have passed.

Akening contacted Roy again.

"The Alliance is preparing to officially begin the conscription process. Several worlds are available for your selection..."

"No need to say more, I choose Wolf from Werewolf World."

Roy said.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Roy's words, Akening paused for a moment, but then felt relieved.

******
After more than a month.

The Nomen World, the Void Boundary.

The giant metal nails stuck in the sky are being slowly pulled out.

"Attention all units, spatial teleportation is about to begin..."

All on standby…

Inside the tower, an alarm sounded.

Tower Spirit Celine, in conjunction with the Eyes of various wizards, closely monitors the people inside the tower via monitoring terminals.

Meanwhile, in the void, a soul wandered.

The vast, ethereal, clusters of smoke, like miniature nebulae, shimmered with the brilliance of thought.

The spirit materialized, appearing as a gigantic phantom in the shape of a human.

At this point, Roy's total mental energy had reached nearly 3 degrees, which was considered a moderately mature stage even among fourth-level archmages.

Many people stop growing at this stage because their potential has been exhausted.

However, at this moment, empowered by various forces, he displayed the vigorous spirit of a young man.

A gigantic golden figure stretched out its hand, and the Holy Grail appeared in the starry sky.

As the golden liquid was poured, the power of wishes transformed into flames and burned fiercely.

I pray...

Project this "heavenly nail" into the world of Wolf...

The homeland of werewolves, a world ruled by the moon goddess!

At the 10th ring level, the "Legendary Projectile" was thus transformed.

As the giant unleashed his power, the "Heavenly Nail," resembling a nail, shattered the dimensional barrier, traversed the void, crossed the heavens, and descended upon the distant shores of the starry sky.

……

Boom!

The sky trembled, and chains appeared.

Amidst the reverberating sound of clashing metal, countless black iron chains appeared out of thin air, bearing the marks of mysterious runes.

Wolf, the Werewolf World.

High in the sky, in the outer atmosphere.

A massive, oval-shaped tower suddenly appeared.

"We have arrived in Wolf, the werewolf world..."

Movement restrictions lifted, Level 1 combat readiness maintained...

Each unit should remain at its post and continue its duty…

Inside the Nehebur Wizard Tower, an announcement was made.

Inside the central command room, Akening was talking to Roy.

"When you were studying at Fengrang Garden, you came into contact with this world through the channels there, and even bestowed experimental evolution potions in the name of the 'Moon Goddess'..."

This is perfect timing; we can take over existing troops to prepare for war…

"Yes."

Roy nodded.

119 years ago, during his studies at Fengrang Garden, he once crafted the dragon-wolf girl Lia in an attempt to unravel the mysteries of the bloodline seed.

The birth of the two daughters, Popula and Lena, who were born afterward, was actually a result of accumulating experience.

At that time, I already had some knowledge of the world.

This is indeed a long-standing colonial world under the control of wizards.

Although it cannot be incorporated into territory like a strange new world, it still has significant strategic importance.

To reiterate, he didn't want to get too deeply involved on the front lines and then get ganged up on and beaten up by others!
The intensity of the war in this place is not as low as in many other places where battles have been fought before.

Perhaps the battles to come will be the most brutal since my promotion. I will not only have to be responsible for myself, but also for the legions under my command...

Okay, after saying all that, it all boils down to one word: survival!

No need to make excuses.

Just as he was thinking this, several half-human, half-wolf otherworldly creatures came rushing towards him from the ground below.

A huge silver moon appeared on the vast plains, and Roy sensed a familiar aura from it.

"The messenger of the moon goddess... Nimreid!"

Nimredor, the homunculus from the Garden of Abundance, has received orders from the higher-ups to descend once more today and issue a "divine oracle."

"Enemies from the Cions Federation have been wreaking havoc in the surrounding world. The Moon Goddess, having learned of this, has sent a prophet to assist you in defending your homeland."

All tribes must unite and contribute their strength…

Hearing this, the werewolves who had come to listen were greatly shocked.

"enemy……

Intrusion!

"And there's also a prophet sent by the Moon Goddess!"

The Alliance has entrusted the entire world of Wolf to Roy, and he will be in charge of the surrounding war zones for at least the next few decades.

At the same time, wizards of various levels will come to serve, and will be given different missions depending on the development of the situation.

These statements are intended to give advance notice, to influence the world's will, and to gain rapid acceptance.

Soon, to the astonishment of the werewolves, the mage tower's figure shone like a star under the moonlight.

"Venus!"

In the legends of the werewolf world, this corresponds to the status of a prophet or mentor.

Although not as noble as the "Moon Goddess," she is still an angel and messenger.

They knelt on one knee in awe, welcoming the manifestation of the "Prophet".

This was the identity granted by the Alliance, and Roy didn't mind it. He immediately lowered the projection, revealing a mysterious figure shrouded in an ancient and understated gray robe.

"People of Wolf, I am Roy, the messenger of the moon goddess and the prophet..."

"By order of the Moon Goddess, I will lead you to resist the invasion of the Cions Federation!"

……

The situation of each tribe was quickly reported. Combined with the information previously transferred by Fengrangyuan, Roy soon learned that there were werewolf tribes with a size of several hundred to several thousand people widely distributed in this world, mainly composed of ordinary combat forces between intermediate and advanced knights.

However, each tribe has a few Level 1 members, and some even reach Level 2.

Due to cost considerations, Fengrang Garden did not cultivate it extensively, but only occasionally carried out bloodline modulation and optimization, in conjunction with some life evolution experiments.

To this day, the strongest beings on this land are only a dozen or so werewolves, including Chief Homo, who is at level two. However, their potential for development is enormous, and they can be rapidly promoted to level three combat power at any time.

Roy wasn't very familiar with the name either, but soon, thanks to Nimredo's reminder, he learned something.

"We once placed various demonized organs and bloodline seeds into this world as your test subjects."

To date, the only stable inheritances successfully obtained are 'Heart of the Mad Wolf' and 'Magic Claws'...

They are mainly distributed in the Homo and Miota tribes!

"Oh, this was actually cultivated from the experimental specimens I released in the past?"

Roy was slightly surprised to hear this.

"However, recently, these tribes seem to have experienced some unexpected mutations."

Is it a problem with lifespan or genetic conflicts?

"No, it's the descendants of Huo Mo and others who are increasingly predominantly female, and the carriers of their bloodline are also mainly female."

As chief, Homo had seven daughters, and similar cases occurred with other leaders and warriors…

Roy: “…”

Don't blame me for this.

It’s none of my business!
