Chapter 448: Chapter 67 Alchemy Crown
“Beco a Truth Wizard?!”
Richard’s voice was so surprised it almost sounded distorted. The secret of ascending to Seventh Level life was of utmost importance to any civilization.
Was this sothing he could know?
“Look at you, all flustered,” Garon Great Wizard laughed. “The secret to ascending to Truth isn’t even as guarded as the Great Wizard Promotion Ceremony.
Any Great Wizard knows how to beco a Truth Wizard, but actually achieving it… heh heh.”
Garon Great Wizard laughed proudly. Among all the Sixth Circle Great Wizards in the Wizard World, only he was one step away from Truth.
Richard was sowhat puzzled upon hearing this. Logically speaking, shouldn’t the thod of becoming a Truth have a higher level of confidentiality?
When he voiced his doubts, Garon Great Wizard shook his head slightly: “By all logic, the thod of ascending to Truth is indeed more precious than that of becoming a Great Wizard.
But there’s another issue to consider, which is how to turn that knowledge into reality after learning these secrets.
If the ritual of becoming a Great Wizard were to leak, the World Masters of Otherworld natives could explore the secrets of becoming Forth Level life, thereby increasing the difficulty of our conquest of the world.
But the thod of ascending to Truth being exposed is useless to the World Masters of native worlds, and even to those of other civilized worlds.
That’s because the thod of ascending to Truth in the Wizard World is based on racial contribution, which is utterly useless to any native.”
“Racial contribution? Could you explain more about that, Dean?”
The term piqued Richard’s interest. Since it was not a secret, there was no harm in listening.
But Garon Great Wizard did not directly explain. Instead, he asked an unrelated question.
“Richard, how much do you know about the classification of rules?”
This question baffled Richard. He paused for a mont then honestly recited what he’d read in books.
However, after listening, Garon Great Wizard just laughed and shook his head.
“No, Richard. There are only two types of rules: substantial rules and illusory rules. Substantial rules are like the Fire Elent Rule, rules that are not influenced by life.
Whether life exists or not, the Fire Elent remains the sa.
Illusory rules, on the other hand, are similar to the Nightmare Rules you are familiar with, rules that must depend on life to exist.”
Garon Great Wizard’s explanation took Richard aback.
Nightmare Rules need life to exist?
Seeing that Richard was still confused, Garon Great Wizard explained further: “Think about it—if every creature in this world were just an Alchemy Puppet.
If a world was deserted, void of any life, would the Nightmare World still exist?”
Listening to Garon Great Wizard’s explanation, Richard quickly understood.
Without dreaming beings, the Nightmare World would naturally cease to exist.
Seeing that Richard had grasped the concept, Garon Great Wizard continued: “Knowing this definition, you should be able to understand my next explanation.
At the end of the Enlightennt era, the Five Major Schools were nearly at each other’s throats, and all sorts of crazy weapons and spells were developed.
It was during this ti that the Plastic Energy Crown, while researching ultimate weapons, accidentally discovered an illusory rule hidden behind countless dinsions.
This rule connected every wizard, and even every mortal.
And the Plastic Energy Crown, following this connection, was astonished to find that an entire Wizard Dinsion had ford within the illusory dinsions.
This dinsion world was divided into five nations, and like the Wizard World at war, it was in utter chaos.
As the leader of the Curse School, the mont he entered the dinsion, he rged with the Plastic Energy Crown of the illusory dinsions.
With this power’s aid, the Plastic Energy Crown beca the first wizard to break through the Sixth Circle limit.
And with His intervention, the Wizard War ended. And for His role in stopping the great conflict, He beca the first True Wizard.
And what we’re talking about here is a share of that illusory dinsion’s power.”
Richard pondered the explanation: “So you an, if a wizard has a large enough share, they can beco a Truth Wizard through this illusory rule.”
Garon Great Wizard nodded: “You can crudely understand it that way, but this share is not sothing anyone can just desire.
This rule has been nad the Wizard Rule by the Truth Council, and to receive the Wizard Rule’s blessing, one must ‘exchange equivalently.’
The greater the contribution you make to the wizard race, the higher the blessing you receive. This is an inviolable rule that even the True Wizards cannot change.
The Plastic Energy Crown beca a Truth by stopping the Wizard War. The Alchemy Crown beca a Truth by establishing the prototype for the Plane War—the Floating City conquest.
If a small Floating City is successful, its creator will inevitably receive the Wizard Rule’s blessing.
That is also the reason why the Plastic Energy Crown needed to add a title.”
Richard nodded, sowhat shocked. He hadn’t thought a re small Floating City could influence so many things.
“Be sharp when you et the Crown later. If nothing unusual happens, the Crown should offer you so small compensation.
Although those things won’t compare to the share you’ve lost, they will be more useful to you now.
Before becoming a Great Wizard, you can’t be strengthened by the Wizard Rule, but the compensation can transform into actual combat power.”
As he said this, Garon Great Wizard seed to recall sothing and his expression turned very serious.
“Rember, if the Crown asks what you want later, you mustn’t ask for the qualifications for a Great Wizard Promotion.
That’s the most useless thing.”
Promotion to a Great Wizard required a wizard to have sufficient experience; rashly promoting to the rank of a Great Wizard was tantamount to a death sentence.
You have already joined the Military Departnt, exchanging for promotion qualifications is not a very difficult thing, so don’t waste such a precious opportunity on this.
“If you really don’t know what you want, let the Alchemy Crown decide for you.”
Richard nodded seriously.
“Uh-huh, I’ll rember that.”
Before long, Garon the Great Wizard once again opened a rift.
The two stepped out of the rift and what ca into Richard’s view was a vast steel city.
“This is the headquarters of the Tesla Chamber of Comrce,” Garon the Great Wizard remarked with so nostalgia, “I haven’t been here for an epoch.
Since the Truth Council beca the largest shareholder of the Tesla Chamber of Comrce, this city has been expanding like a giant beast.
I rember that when it was first built, it was just a small city of less than ten square kiloters.”
After saying this, he shook his head slightly, and then he took Richard into the city.
In this steel city nad Tesla, alchemy machines were everywhere. Alchemy machines, Alchemy Airships, even the street cleaners, were specially designed Alchemy Puppets.
The entire city was like a huge machine, every mber functioning like a gear.
At the center of Tesla City stood a towering steel skyscraper piercing the skies. Upon seeing this skyscraper for the first ti, Richard’s heart skipped a beat.
A mysterious and profound aura filled him with sudden reverence.
“Eh, the Alchemy Crown ca directly to the Tesla Chamber of Comrce?”
Garon the Great Wizard seed to have noticed sothing, his tone turning very surprised.
He rushed toward the tower with Richard, passing Alchemy Puppets issuing overspeed warnings along the way, but he ignored them as if they were air.
Approaching the tower, a beam of light scanned over the two. In an instant, Richard felt the universe spin, and when he ca back to his senses, he found himself in a room completely at odds with the rest of Tesla City.
In the middle of this steel city nad Tesla was a wooden room.
And outside the room, there was even a delicately manicured garden.
“Take a seat.”
An ageless voice ca from behind Richard. He turned to see a wooden puppet, working like a carpenter, smoothly planing wood.
Richard looked at the puppet with so confusion and tentatively asked, “Are you… the Alchemy Crown?”
The wooden puppet set aside the plane and ca to a tea table next to the workbench, pouring two cups of fragrant Magic Tea.
“It’s ,” the wooden puppet said indifferently.
Hearing this, Richard hurried to the tea table and sat down, his expression serious yet restrained.
“Don’t be nervous; I’m not a Magic Beast that eats people.” A hint of humanized helplessness appeared on the face of the wooden puppet, “Bronze Spear has already talked to you about the share, right?”
Richard nodded nervously.
“He did.”
“That’s good.”
The Alchemy Crown took a seat opposite Richard, holding Magic Tea in his hand like an elderly neighbor.
“The share for the small Floating City is not insignificant, Plastic Energy was not willing to let us take it all, so he ca to to ask for a na.
You’ve lost out on this deal, Garon has too. But that kid Garon has so agreent with , so his little loss doesn’t matter.
But you are a wizard of the Alchemy School. A few epochs ago, you would have been considered one of my subjects.
You shouldn’t have to suffer your loss for nothing, so I plan to compensate you with sothing small.
Tell , is there anything you want?”
The attitude of the Alchemy Crown was very gentle, devoid of any arrogance, but Richard was still very cautious in spirit.
He believed the gentleness of the Alchemy Crown was real. But he also equally believed that if the Miracle Furnace were discovered, the Alchemy Crown would not hesitate to take the Miracle Furnace away.
Compared to the Miracle Furnace, his achievents seed sowhat insignificant.
In an instant, countless thoughts flickered through Richard’s mind.
Finally, he carefully said, “Your Highness, I don’t really want anything. How about you just give sothing at random?”
Hearing Richard’s response, the Alchemy Crown couldn’t help but laugh.
“Slippery fellow, Garon taught you, didn’t he?”
Richard nodded honestly, not hesitating to betray his own dean.
“Alright then, since you’re letting give you sothing, I’ll just give you sothing at random.”
With that, the Alchemy Crown opened up the puppet’s abdon, rummaged inside, and pulled out a wooden ball.
“This will do. Whatever cos out of here will be your compensation.
If you’re unlucky, it might just be a promotion qualification, but if you’re lucky, you even might get to take a look inside our school’s secret vault.”
The Alchemy Crown handed the wooden ball to Richard. With a slight twist, Richard opened the ball.
A flash of light erged from within the wooden ball, revealing a small Scepter.
“Huh, it turned out to be a Special Authority Scepter.”
