Chapter 299: Chapter 18 Witch Hunting Team
After President Abalo passed away, the Nine Star Chamber of Comrce officially entered the Bob era.
And the ti had co to fulfill his agreent with Richard.
In Bob’s office, or rather, the President’s office, Bob sat behind the desk with a cigar in his hand, smiling fully at Richard.
“Don’t worry, brother Richard, all of the Nine Star Chamber of Comrce’s sales channels will list your ink for sale.
And we won’t charge you any channel fees at all.
As long as I’m president, any product from your Chamber will enjoy this treatnt.”
To the left front of Bob, Richard was sitting on a couch, fiddling with a floral-patterned tal polyhedron in his hand.
Beside him, the imnse Iron Giant stood still as a statue.
Richard sat up straight, smiling at Bob: “That’s great, brother Bob. You’re a man of your word. However, there is another matter for which I need your assistance.”
“What is it?”
Richard pulled a sheepskin scroll from his pocket and handed it to Bob.
Bob opened it and, sowhat astonished, looked up:
“So many alchemy materials. At a glance, gathering all these would cost you at least a hundred thousand Magic Essence.
You haven’t got the wrong list, have you?”
Richard sighed slightly: “No matter how much Magic Essence, it has to be spent!
Our Academy is about to fight an academy war; without ample preparations, it won’t matter how much Magic Essence you have if you die.”
Hearing about the academy war, Bob imdiately understood why Richard was willing to spend so freely.
Bob solemnly said: “Take good care of yourself, brother. I will gather these items for you as quickly as possible. If you are short on money, you can take your ti paying.”
Bob’s words ward Richard’s heart, and he smiled,
“Don’t worry, I definitely have enough money.”
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Richard excused himself and left.
Bob had just beco the president, and there were many aspects of the Chamber’s business he needed to beco acquainted with.
Richard couldn’t be of much help with those things.
He sent Makar back to the Secret Realm and once again took the express airship back to the Tower of Truth.
Upon returning to the Tower of Truth, Richard hung a “Experint in Progress” sign on his Wizard Tower’s door and then dove into the laboratory.
…
“It’s incredible, just unbelievable.”
Richard expressed his amazent sincerely as he looked at the Star Vengeful Ghost Power Furnace on the experint table.
Because the impact of this power furnace on Richard was simply too great.
The Star Vengeful Ghost Power Furnace could produce energy equivalent to one standard Magic Stone every minute, which sounded ordinary enough.
But what if this function was nearly eternal?
According to Ulysses, as far as he rembered, except for damage caused by external impacts, no power furnace had ever had an issue with its operation.
In the Gods Civilization, such a power furnace could practically serve as a perpetual motion machine.
Next was its casing. Since the Star Vengeful Ghost Power Furnace tended to only have issues due to external interference, the Ghost Craftsman Forging Skill artisans who created them had put considerable effort into its casing.
The casing of the power furnace in Richard’s hands, under Ulysses’ testing, could withstand Elental Attacks of almost Ten Thousand Energy Level, and up to five thousand Energy Level in physical attacks.
Moreover, according to Ulysses, this was considered an average perforr.
If it were the work of a Master, the casing’s defensive capability could increase several tis over.
After testing the data, Richard took off his gloves and touched the Star Vengeful Ghost Power Furnace barehanded.
In the next mont, the Miracle Furnace provided information.
[Raw Material: Small-Scale Star Vengeful Ghost Power Furnace]
[Refinable Information: Star Vengeful Ghost Power Furnace Blueprint]
[Refinent Cost: 230 spiritual power]
[Refinable Skill: Ghost Craftsman Forging Skill (incomplete)]
[Refinent Cost: 130 spiritual power]
[Refinable Rule: Deceit Rule]
[Refinent Cost: 20 Soul Power]
“Indeed, there are rules mingled within.”
Seeing the information from the Miracle Furnace, Richard was not surprised.
According to Ulysses, over the years, the Star Vengeful Ghost Power Furnaces had only been produced by the Deceit Master Realm. And after all these years since their appearance, not even a replica had erged on the market.
This highlighted that the technology required to produce the power furnace was incredibly sophisticated, and the materials needed were extrely rare, beyond the reach of ordinary people and even so World Masters.
Incorporating special rules was a logical conclusion.
The Deceitful Great World was one of the few worlds inside the Gods Civilization without Divine presence. It maintained a cooperative relationship with the Gods Civilization.
Those age-old Ghost Craftsmans were as old as the heavens, with the eldest among them even having witnessed the civilizations of the previous cycles of world clusters.
It was indeed not a wise decision to be enemies with them.
And according to their agreent with the Gods Civilization, no Divine being was allowed to enter the Deceitful Great World in any form, whether it be their actual body, incarnations, or any other guise.
Without access to the internal workings of the Deceitful Great World, learning about the Deceit Rule beca impossible, and thus replica production was not feasible.
However, for Richard, this wasn’t particularly bad news.
A Wizard’s yearning for knowledge was as great as a person’s need for air.
Regardless of the type, a Wizard would accept all knowledge.
Moreover, Wizards were most adept at learning abilities from others and then modifying them to fit into their own power systems.
If he could adapt Pioneer technology, why not a power furnace technology that hadn’t seen updates for who knows how many years?
“Since I can’t refine it for the ti being, I might as well install it in my Armor.”
There was no use for it in his hands; better to directly place it into the Single Soldier Armor to boost Combat Skills.
Richard opened a rift into the Secret Realm, and on the other side, Makar was wrapped in a leather skirt, wielding a Chain Saw Sword, continuously battling imagined foes in his mind.
The chanic Type One Single Soldier Armor had undoubtedly given him a trendous boost in strength, but this increase in power gave him a sense of security.
So when he took off the armor, he imdiately felt a sense of insecurity.
This feeling made Makar both anxious and ashad.
In order to overco this feeling, Makar decided to begin training.
Of course, this training included honing his combat skills.
Watching Makar train with focused determination, Richard did not disturb him but silently moved to the workshop area and handed the Star Vengeful Ghost Power Furnace over to a few Fire Lizard Alchemy Masters.
“This device is a power source. It can produce the energy of one Magic Stone every minute and has extrely strong defensive capabilities.
You need to find a place on the armor to install it, then add so energy storage devices.”
Looking at the Power Furnace that was continuously emitting energy, the Fire Lizard Alchemy Masters were all a bit curious.
Calion tapped on the Power Furnace and asked casually,
“Sir, how strong can its defense be? If it’s over four thousand, I might as well leave it exposed.”
“…Indeed, you could. Its defensive capability is stronger than the armor itself.”
The Fire Lizard Alchemy Masters were stunned, then their eyes lit up as they looked at the Power Furnace in Calion’s hands.
“Sir, can we study this thing?” one of the Fire Lizard Alchemy Masters asked.
Richard glanced at him and said, “If it was possible to study, do you think I wouldn’t have done it?
Don’t think too much, just hurry up and install it.
In a couple of days, I’ll take you to the Red Sun World. After the vacation, there’s a big job waiting for you guys.”
“Sir, what kind of big job?” Calion asked.
Richard responded indifferently, “I’ve already ordered the materials for three sets of armor. After your break, the materials should be arriving.
Enjoy your vacation for now.
Akala has been hatching Fire Lizard Eggs in the past few years; you might have so romantic encounters when you go back this ti.”
At these words, a cheer erupted from the workshop area.
Dragons by nature are licentious, and as a race with Dragon Blood, this quality in the Fire Lizards was only growing as their Bloodline awakened.
Having spent so many years in the Secret Realm, the older Fire Lizard Alchemy Masters were still alright, but the young and strong Fire Lizards were feeling extrely frustrated.
Looking at the cheering Fire Lizards, Richard stroked his chin and thought,
“It looks like we need to bring in a batch of female Fire Lizards to the Secret Realm.”
…
Two months later, the first batch of materials Richard ordered arrived.
The vacation-over Fire Lizard Craftsn imdiately threw themselves into production.
To forge the armor parts more quickly, the entire Fire Lizard Alchemy Workshop was restructured.
In the massive lter flowed molten tal, and the giant chanical forging hamr roared day and night without pause.
To accelerate the work pace of these Fire Lizard Craftsn and ignite their production enthusiasm, Richard provided everything they needed.
From refined honey wine to Fla Giant Beast roast at, Richard even ordered a batch of cigars with invigorating effects from the Nine Star Chamber of Comrce.
These cigars were widely praised among the Fire Lizards, and so even took the initiative to add a type of Demonized Plant from the Red Sun World to the cigars, giving them a more aggressive flavor.
Richard even promised them a year off after this forging was complete!
Under the dual stimuli of material and spirit, the workshop’s efficiency saw a massive increase.
In just half a year, the first chanic Single Soldier Armor was forged.
At Richard’s request, this set of armor was coated with an Alchemy Paint. The entire suit of armor changed from its original golden hue to a pitch black as dark as the night.
This change by Richard left all the Fire Lizard Craftsn sowhat puzzled.
What was wrong with the glittering armor?
It had to be shining gold to be magnificent and imposing!
After the first suit of armor was forged, the speed to forge the second suit noticeably increased.
This ti, it only took the Fire Lizard Craftsn five months to complete the armor.
And the third suit of armor’s forging ti was directly shortened to three months.
As the Fire Lizard Craftsn grew familiar with the forging process, the parts for the armor were made more skillfully and efficiently.
Richard could already envision the sight of the workshop mass-producing armor once the structure was simplified.
…
“How do three of you feel?”
In the Secret Realm, three Fire Lizards whom Richard had brought from New World Island were adapting to the armor.
By their side, Makar was explaining the various functionalities of the armor.
“I never thought I’d one day wear Holy Armor,” one of the Fire Lizards said excitedly.
They were all Silver-horned Nobles and naturally knew about Holy Armor. The selection for the Holy Guard was extrely strict, and once selected, new mbers would not be recruited unless one of the Holy Guards died.
Thus, most of these Silver-horned Nobles could only watch the Holy Guards slaughter the enemy on the battlefield.
Although Richard’s armor was a knockoff version of the Holy Armor, it was enough to satisfy the fantasies in their hearts.
Which Silver-horned Noble hadn’t dread of becoming a mber of the Holy Guard?
“It feels good, sir,” one of the Fire Lizards said as he moved his body, “This armor doesn’t affect my agility much, and it’s even increased my strength.
Wearing this armor, I feel like I could fight five of my forr self without armor.”
“I feel the sa!” the last Fire Lizard interjected, “This is incredible.
Sir, what enemies will I be facing next?”
Richard looked at the four Fire Lizards with satisfaction and said with a smile,
“Don’t worry, you’ll definitely be satisfied with the enemies this ti.”
“Hmm?”
The three newcors were slightly taken aback, while Makar’s lips curled into a mysterious smile.
“Your enemies this ti are your old rivals—
Black Wizards.”
