Chapter 359: Chapter 75: Breakthrough, 3rd Circle Wizard!
The Pyramid was a Nightmare Lord who had dealt with Wizards on many occasions and was very clear about their preferences.
These strange creatures from Otherworld had little interest in most things in the Nightmare World.
Only a few items, such as Nightmare Artifacts, Nightmare Artifact Embryos, and a handful of other extrely valuable things, could pique their interest.
However, after dealing with Wizards for a long ti, the Pyramid gradually realized that these beings, known as Wizards, had an extraordinary craving for “knowledge.”
For Wizards, so techniques of using the Power of Nightmare or the summary of understanding of certain things were even more attractive than hundreds of thousands of strands of the Power of Nightmare.
In the past, having grasped this fact, the Pyramid had made nurous deals with Wizards using knowledge.
This had allowed his territory to expand rapidly.
That was, until the Wizards had gone off to participate in that terrible, seemingly never-ending war.
Without the help of the Wizards, he had been subjected to territorial wars initiated by a few Nightmare Lords, and only by resorting to a mutual destruction thod had he managed to barely survive.
But all that was in the past, and now he had a new beginning.
Upon hearing the Pyramid’s proposal, Richard felt sowhat puzzled.
Did becoming a Nightmare Lord really require rituals and the like?
“My friend, you can introduce your price yourself,” Richard said with a slightly awkward smile, “I am quite interested in this knowledge.”
The Pyramid wasn’t surprised by Richard’s peculiar behavior.
Considering Wizards hadn’t entered the Nightmare World for many years, it likely ant they weren’t much interested in it.
Lack of interest implied that Richard might have stumbled upon the Nightmare World by mistake, so it was normal for him to be missing so information about it.
Moreover, that terrible war among the Wizards had claid the lives of many; how much of the ancient Wizards’ knowledge had been passed down was also a matter of concern.
The Pyramid explained, “For a Nightmare Knight to beco a Nightmare Lord, it’s not enough to just pile on the Power of Nightmare, there are also so secrets that nobody knows.
This knowledge is quite straightforward; possessing it is like having a ticket to becoming a Nightmare Lord.
In the past, it’s not as if no Wizard has ever beco a Nightmare Lord.”
The Pyramid could see that Richard was very interested in the Nightmare World.
A typical Wizard wouldn’t go out of their way to collect so much Power of Nightmare.
Therefore, his price would definitely catch the attention of the Wizard before him.
And while his reasoning was off base, the result turned out to be unexpectedly correct.
Richard indeed needed this knowledge.
Richard nodded, “That price sounds reasonable, but I have to ask about the Spell you need, how powerful should it be approximately?
Are there any special requirents, like a particular size or shape it must have?”
“It’ll need roughly a Ten Thousand Energy Level according to your terms. As for the requirents… as long as it’s no bigger than this would suffice.”
With that, the black figure gestured with their hands, forming a circle about the size of a human head.
Knowing the conditions, Richard planned briefly in his mind and confird he should be able to do it.
He then confidently stated, “Okay, and your contract?”
“This is simple.”
After speaking, the black figure shrank as though it had been compacted, transforming into a palm-sized figure. The little figure began twisting and changing shape in mid-air, eventually turning into a pitch-black contract covered in golden text.
In an unconspicuous manner, Richard asked Ulysses, “Ulysses, what is this thing?”
Ulysses’ eyes flickered faintly, then he replied with so surprise, “This thing is actually a Destiny Contract, I didn’t expect that these Nightmare creatures, without souls, could craft a Destiny Contract.
Be careful later, don’t sign it hastily.”
Hearing it was a Destiny Contract, Richard felt reassuringly calm.
He didn’t plan to deceive the Pyramid this ti, so the Destiny Contract wasn’t an issue for him.
Richard took the contract floating in the air, which already had a na on it called Sefer.
This must be the Pyramid’s true na.
After verifying the terms of the contract were satisfactory, Richard readily signed the agreent.
As the contract vanished into the air, Sefer’s heart settled down within the palace.
He looked at the mass of Power of Nightmare that Richard had once encountered and murmured to himself,
“The rest should be simple.”
…
Completing Sefer’s assignnt was not difficult for Richard.
Because in the Material World, Richard had to consider the issue of materials. Although many Alchemy Wizards knew that sotis materials were simpler and more reliable than Runes,
However, those precious alchemy materials, when sold, were sold by the gram. Most Wizards could hardly afford their price.
But in the Nightmare World, Richard had no such problem.
A few thousand strands of Power of Nightmare could allow him to hand-roll Mithril, Pure Gold, Ao Steel, and other high-quality alchemy materials.
And his task was quite straightforward.
That was to produce a Ten Thousand Energy Level bomb using the Water and Fire Annihilation reaction without regard to cost.
Without considering the cost, even a newly minted Alchemy Wizard could produce a one-ti Magic Equipnt with a Ten Thousand Energy Level.
Let alone Richard, who among One Ring Wizards, could be terd a Master Alchemy Wizard.
In less than three days, Richard had completed a spherical Alchemy Bomb about the size of a human head.
