Chapter 270: Chapter 54 Fire Lizard Alchemy Workshop
“Why didn’t we do this earlier?”
Richard handed over the Soul Contract to Calion with a smiling face, and as soon as Calion received it, he imdiately signed his na with a trembling hand.
As the contract turned into flas and vanished into the air, a sense of calm finally settled in Calion’s fearful heart.
At least now he wouldn’t have to endure thousands of years of torture in that room.
“Now that you’ve signed the contract, we are all on the sa team. Master Calion, I’ve heard that your Alchemy skills are very high, almost comparable to the ancient Alchemy Masters.
I wonder if that is true.”
Looking at Richard’s smiling face, Calion dared not hide anything and truthfully said, “My skills are indeed among the top in the current Alchemy Masters, but compared to those ancient Alchemy Masters, I am far inferior.”
“Haha, Master, there’s no need for modesty. I believe your talents are not inferior to those of the ancients.”
As he spoke, Richard shifted the conversation to inquire about rrick’s Shield.
“Master Calion, you must have worked for rrick’s Shield for a long ti, so you might know so internal details about them.
Do you have any interesting stories to share with ?”
Looking at Richard’s smile, Calion felt as though this wizard was a devil from hell. He was almost certain that if his information did not satisfy Richard, his future days would be miserable.
The terms of the Soul Contract stipulated that Richard could not arbitrarily kill these Fire Lizards.
But sotis, living can be harder than dying.
“My lord, I work in logistics and don’t know much about their missions. If I have to say sothing interesting, rrick’s Shield asked and a few other old folks to make a huge thing a few years ago.
Although they only gave the blueprints for the parts I needed to make, I could still tell it was supposed to be a component for a ship.”
“A ship?”
Richard stroked his chin, deep in thought.
In the Red Sun World, the only place that might require a ship was the Sea of Lava beyond the mainland.
What would the Fire Lizards be doing in the Sea of Lava?
Richard noted this information to himself, and when the opportunity arose later, he planned to visit the Sea of Lava.
The Sea of Lava was ho to many Fla Giant Beasts, which were also a kind of resource.
Richard, reflecting on this, pulled out several design blueprints from his pocket and handed them to Calion.
“Master, your information was very intriguing; I’ve taken note of it. Here are the items you will need to make going forward; I have already given you a sample. I hope you can study it thoroughly. If you masters have any questions, jot them down, and I’ll answer them all after so ti.”
After saying this, Richard opened a rift and left the Secret Realm.
Calion looked at Richard’s design diagrams, which depicted the three views of an armored plate.
“Is this… a shield?”
Calion, judging from his experience, then approached several other Fire Lizards.
“Let see that thing.”
The other Fire Lizards handed the armored plate to Calion, who stared at the elaborate gold patterns and felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
“Is this what we are supposed to make?”
Calion’s tone was tentative; he had just been awakened and many things were not clear to him. Now that he saw the armored plate up close, Calion realized the kind of insurmountable task they were to undertake.
This was none other than the armored plate of Holy Armor!
“Yes, that’s what the wizard said,”
Calion, looking at the armored plate and recalling the scene he had just witnessed, shuddered uncontrollably.
If they failed to et this wizard’s demands, their fate might not be much better than that of the other Fire Lizard.
He sighed resignedly and said:
“Fellows, bring out all the skills you have. If we can’t complete this wizard’s task, we might as well prepare to go to hell.”
“To hell?”
Calion somberly stated:
“Yes, to hell, and while still alive at that.”
…
The departing Richard didn’t know that he had beco a terrifying figure in Calion’s mind, but even if he knew, Richard wouldn’t bother to explain.
The fact that the Fire Lizards were working hard was exactly what he desired.
After leaving the Secret Realm, Richard moved all the supplies from beside the Molten Lava Lake into the Secret Realm.
World Mushrooms could fill a few Fire Lizards’ bellies, but that was about it.
Indeed, the World Mushrooms, originating from the Insect Nest World, could et so living needs of the Fire Lizards, but their items would surely not compare to the native food of the Red Sun World.
His past life experience as a wage worker taught Richard that a good al could make life much better.
For these Fire Lizards in the Secret Realm, they were exactly the wage workers under Richard.
A contented Fire Lizard wouldn’t necessarily work harder, but the likelihood of them slacking would definitely decrease significantly.
And to achieve this, Richard only needed to spend a little ti throwing things into the Secret Realm.
Richard was a man who sought efficiency in everything—why wouldn’t he want to spend a little to achieve a lot?
After leaving the mining caverns, Richard also joined the slave-hunting forces of the Red Sun World, starting to hunt Fire Lizards on land.
Technical talents were hard to co by, and Richard would need a large number of slaves for the future extraction of Red Sun Gold Pattern Stone, as well as for assistance in the Fire Lizard Alchemy Workshop.
Yes, Richard planned to organize a Fire Lizard Alchemy Workshop with these few Fire Lizards as the core, specializing in the production of Giant Dragon Alchemy Creations.
Giant Dragon Alchemy was quite unpopular among wizards, yet this didn’t an there was no market for the products of Giant Dragon Alchemy.
The super alloy tals produced through Giant Dragon Alchemy certainly had a vast market waiting to be tapped in Alchemy Machines.
If he could develop this market, the future would certainly be bright.
Holding expectations for the future, Richard began his slave-catching life in the Red Sun World.
…
Boom!
In the cave, a black fireball suddenly exploded, instantly sealing the escape route of the Fire Lizard.
A fierce beast, clad in steel, pounced on the Fire Lizard the mont the flas vanished, its mouth, dripping with saliva, aid at the Fire Lizard’s neck, ready to snap shut.
Bang.
The steel beast was suddenly sent flying by a black tal stick, and a dark figure appeared next to the Fire Lizard.
“How many tis have I told you not to bite the neck, not to bite the neck? What about the claws I gave you? Can’t you sever its muscles?”
The dark figure scolded the armored beast, then nonchalantly drove a two-inch nail into the Fire Lizard’s chest.
“Ow!”
The steel beast let out a pitiful yelp or two, and seeing it like this, the dark figure could only sigh.
“You stupid dog, after teaching you for so long, you still go for the neck when panic hits.”
The dark figure bent down, grabbed the Fire Lizard from the ground, and despite its struggles, stuffed it forcefully into a bag no larger than a human head.
A few seconds later, a white-robed Wizard arrived at the side of the black-robed Wizard.
“Master Richard, has the Fire Lizard been taken care of?”
Richard nodded, “Handled.”
The white-robed Wizard respectfully perford a Wizard’s Salute, “Thank you for your help, Master. Without it, I might have been killed by that second-level Fire Lizard.”
Richard waved his hand dismissively, “It’s nothing major. However, I would advise you to travel with other One Ring Wizards. It’s still quite dangerous for a One Ring Wizard to capture Fire Lizards alone.
These years, the surviving Fire Lizards are the strong and cunning ones, and even we Wizards can fall victim to their sches.”
The white-robed Wizard nodded, “Master is right, I’ll join my team for slave-catching once I return.”
Richard nodded, then put the armored hunting dog into his pocket and flew out of the cave.
Nearly twenty years had passed since Minar had been sealed. Over these two decades, Wizards had run amok in the Red Sun World, and the number of Fire Lizards above first level had dwindled.
The remaining Fire Lizards were all experienced in battling Wizards.
The good old days when one could catch a Fire Lizard Slave with just a few steps in the Red Sun World were gone.
Leaving the cave, Richard continued his flight with the newly captured Fire Lizard.
Three days later, he arrived at the Red Sun Gold Pattern Stone mine he had applied for.
The narrow cave had now beco a spacious mining tunnel.
Periodically, carts of Red Sun Gold Pattern Stone were being transported out of the tunnel.
Ten years ago, the teleportation gate between the Red Sun World and the Wizard World had been opened, allowing a massive transfer of goods and equipnt to the Red Sun World, and naturally, resource extraction now took priority.
The Red Sun Gold Pattern Stone mine, under the managent of Gano, had naturally been approved.
Richard landed, and a Fire Lizard, seeing him, imdiately approached.
“Lord Richard, what brings you here?”
“Heskan, has anything happened at the mine?”
This Fire Lizard was one of the many Fire Lizard slaves Richard had captured over the years. However, unlike the others, he imdiately showed his talent for bootlicking upon being captured.
Since the war in the Red Sun World had not ended, and for the benefit of the War Wizards involved, the teleportation gate was still not open to outsiders.
Participating Wizards were allowed out, but uninvolved Wizards weren’t allowed in.
To efficiently develop the mines, Richard had thought of managing Fire Lizards with Fire Lizards.
Thus, Heskan, who had shown a talent for bootlicking, had beco the manager of the mine.
“No, everything is fine at the mine. Everyone is working hard, just look in the warehouse and you’ll see.”
Heskan, grinning broadly, led Richard to the warehouse.
The guarding Fire Lizard, seeing Richard, imdiately perford a respectful salute.
“Lord Richard!”
Richard nodded and then entered the warehouse. Inside, several Fire Lizards were using machines to cut Red Sun Gold Pattern Stone from the mining tunnel into regular blocks, which were neatly stacked in boxes.
The boxes filled with Red Sun Gold Pattern Stone were placed in the back half of the warehouse, which was now nearly full.
“Good, very good,” Richard nodded in satisfaction. “Let the ss hall serve extra tonight, limitless Fla Giant Beast at.”
Heskan brightened at the news but then asked sowhat worriedly,
“Master, isn’t that a bit too generous? It’s not easy for you to obtain this at. I think one extra steak per person would be sufficient.”
Richard glanced at him, saying calmly,
“Heskan, just follow orders. You don’t need to worry about resource matters.”
Heskan looked slightly fearful, “I spoke out of turn.”
Leaving the warehouse, Richard casually threw the Fire Lizard he had caught on the road to Heskan.
“Sa rule as always, execute the obstinate ones.”
“Yes, Master!”
Watching cart after cart of Red Sun Gold Pattern Stone being transported from the mine, Richard’s heart was filled with joy.
These carts were all full of Magic Essence.
Suddenly, a strong spatial fluctuation swept through Richard’s senses.
A space rift tore open in the sky, and a familiar figure burst through with an overbearing aura.
“Wizard! I’m back!”
