Chapter 449: Chapter 68 Special Handling Scepter
Richard looked at the wand in his hand, which was a foot long and looked very ordinary, and he was sowhat puzzled as he turned to the Alchemy Crown.
“What is this special privileges wand for?”
The Alchemy Crown said with interest, “I don’t know if I should say you’re lucky or unlucky. In terms of rarity, this special privileges wand is no less valuable than the secret vault of the Advanced Study Sect.
But as for its usefulness… It can only be said to be completely useless.
Your luck should be good, how could you draw such a thing?”
Richard cautiously asked, “May I dare to ask your Honor, what is the use of this wand?”
“The function is very simple,” replied the Alchemy Crown. “It grants your actions legality. Simply put, with this wand, you can conduct so rule-breaking experints, like experinting on pure-blood humans, without being investigated by Law Enforcent Wizards.
Of course, it only works once. After use, this wand will disappear.”
As he spoke, the Alchemy Crown stared at Richard, eyeing him up and down.
“Are you planning on doing sothing against the rules?”
Upon hearing this, Richard shook his head repeatedly.
“Not at all. I lack neither resources nor research materials; why would I do sothing a mad wizard would undertake?”
The Alchemy Crown smiled wryly. He leisurely said, “You’d better be. I have to remind you that you drew this special privileges wand; it wasn’t given to you by .
So if you get into trouble and offend soone, I won’t stand up for you.”
Richard shook his head again and again, “How could that be? I can probably only use this wand as a display piece.”
The Alchemy Crown didn’t say anything more. He waved his arm gently, and Richard disappeared from the room.
After Richard vanished, the door to the room suddenly opened.
Garon the Great Wizard walked in boldly, took the Magic Tea that Richard hadn’t drunk, and directly gulped it down, startling the Alchemy Crown.
“Hey, you brute, is that how you drink Magic Tea!” the Alchemy Crown said in anger.
Garon the Great Wizard replied indifferently, “Hey, it’s not sothing precious. I’ll give you two tons another day, you can even bathe in it.”
The Alchemy Crown sighed and lanted, “Alas, my Magic Tea is wasted on you.”
Garon the Great Wizard didn’t care and turned to ask about Richard’s situation.
“Did you see anything special in Richard? For that tavern-keeper old tortoise to leave a mark, Richard must be sowhat extraordinary.”
The Alchemy Crown didn’t respond but snatched the teacup from Garon the Great Wizard’s hand, along with the teapot, and stowed them in the belly of an Alchemy Puppet.
After tidying up, the Alchemy Crown spoke unhurriedly, “I have seen a little more than you. This boy is a fate entanglent subject; his future is destined to be tumultuous.
Anyone who gets involved with him will likely be drawn into the whirlpool of fate.”
Garon the Great Wizard said cheerfully, “A fate entanglent subject? No wonder that old tortoise left a mark; it’s to remind himself to keep a distance when he sees him.”
The Alchemy Crown agreed, “That boss has lived so long for a reason.”
“Then should I reduce my interactions with this young fellow in the future?” Garon the Great Wizard asked.
“Not necessarily.”
The Alchemy Crown picked up the piece of carved wood in his hand, his puppet-like fingers gently tracing the wood.
The next instant, countless delicate Runes appeared on the wood.
“We are already in a fate whirlpool, facing the huge maelstroms created by two civilizations; a fate entanglent subject can’t stir up much trouble…”
The Alchemy Crown looked at the wood in his hand and stopped talking.
“What suddenly ca to your mind?” Garon the Great Wizard asked cautiously.
The Alchemy Crown pondered, “Nothing much, I was just thinking, if this fate entanglent subject can grow to your level, could he possibly influence the destiny of Wizard Civilization?
I feel that this would be an interesting experint.”
Listening to the Alchemy Crown’s thoughts, even Garon the Great Wizard, who was accustod to the authority of Truth Wizards, was still shocked.
“Crown, you have to think it through; Wizard Civilization is closely tied to you!”
The Alchemy Crown waved his hand impatiently, “I’m not a fool; I wouldn’t do such a thing rashly.
But as a Wizard, one must experint boldly! I really don’t know how you, a conservative, have co so far.”
Garon the Great Wizard replied bluntly, “Because I have a conscience, taking the entire Wizard Civilization as an experint, you really dare to think about it.”
Though he said so, deep down, Garon the Great Wizard also wanted to know the result of that experint.
The desire for truth is sothing ingrained in all wizards.
The Alchemy Crown waved his hand, sowhat irritated, “Forget it, no use talking to a conservative like you. Do you have anything else? If not, leave quickly, don’t disturb my mood.”
“I actually do have sothing,” Garon the Great Wizard suddenly said seriously, “I’ve found the corresponding stars for that incomplete Star Map I have.
According to the Astrologer’s conjecture, there should be an incomplete, large world there.
The world we have been looking for is probably it.”
…
As the scenery in front of him beca clear again, Richard found himself in a simple office.
The style of this office followed in the tallic, chanical vein of Tesla City. The only discordant note was the small red flower on the windowsill.
“At last, soone cos.”
A voice rose beside Richard, who turned to see a very robust Alchemy Puppet rubbing ointnt onto its body.
Seeing Richard appear, the Alchemy Puppet set the ointnt aside, took a Wizard Robe from the clothes rack in the corner of the room, and draped it over itself.
Being able to wear a Wizard Robe ant that this Alchemy Puppet was an Alchemy Wizard, one who had transford their entire body into Alchemy Machines.
“Master Richard, have you brought all your data? Of course, even if you haven’t brought everything, it won’t cause a delay. We can calculate directly here, which is much faster than you having to go back for it.
Moreover, the accuracy will be even more precise.”
The Alchemy Wizard’s tone was humorous, but Richard’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
Because in those words, he heard a rich mix of arrogance and disdain.
“I haven’t asked for your na yet,” Richard said indifferently.
“Victor Tesla, just call Victor.”
Hearing the surna Tesla, Richard nodded slightly. No wonder there was arrogance—it was the progeny of Garon the Great Wizard.
“So it’s the progeny of Garon the Great Wizard, my apologies, my apologies.”
As he spoke these words, Richard emphasized the word “progeny.” This made Victor’s eyes sharpened.
Any self-proclaid genius hates it most when others only care about his identity, ignoring his abilities.
And the current Victor was clearly such a self-proclaid genius.
“The Master might be misunderstanding sothing. The Tesla Chamber of Comrce does not harbor idlers, especially in the R&D departnt. Wizards who enter the R&D departnt are the elite selected through multiple stages.
rely relying on one or two good ideas won’t get you in.”
Richard smiled faintly upon hearing this, his tone laced with sarcasm.
“Is that so? I’d assu that all these wizards must have developed works not weaker than a small Floating City by now.
After all, they are ‘elite’ who have been selected through multiple stages, aren’t they?”
Alchemy Wizards always spoke through their works, and in this regard, no Three Rings Wizard in the Wizard World could compare with Richard.
This irrefutable statent made Victor’s gears stutter. A faint tal friction noise ca from within him, showing signs of a malfunction.
Richard noticed this and quickly pretended to be concerned, “What’s wrong, Master? Could it be a malfunction? You really should be more careful—how can you use substandard parts for your own body?”
Richard’s feigned concern made another round of noise emanate from within Victor, and the incensed Victor pushed Richard away, a strong energy fluctuation erupting from within him.
Seeing this, Richard’s expression turned cold. Can’t handle a verbal spar, ready to get tough?
Radiant fluorescence lit up at the tips of his fingers, but before he could act, sudden alarms rang out in the office.
[Warning, radiation leak!]
[Warning, radiation leak!]
The piercing alarm woke Victor’s rationality. He was in the headquarters of the Tesla Chamber of Comrce, and the man before him had just t the future star of the Alchemy Crown.
Starting a fight here, even as the progeny of Garon the Great Wizard, would cost him his position as head of the R&D departnt.
He went to his desk and tapped lightly, and the piercing alarm imdiately ceased.
Suppressing his anger, Victor spoke slowly, “Master, hand over the data, please.”
Richard took out the new design drawings of Tosio and his calculations of the energy pipeline capacity from his pocket.
Upon seeing the data, Victor took out sothing that looked like a chip from his pocket, inserted it into the back of his skull.
The next instant, Richard felt the humanity in Victor disappear without a trace.
At that mont, he seed to be nothing more than an Alchemy Puppet.
“I am very sorry, Master Richard, I apologize for my impulsive behavior just now,” Victor bowed slightly to Richard.
“The environnt of the Tesla Chamber of Comrce made my primary personality sowhat arrogant and presumptuous.”
“Primary personality?” Richard looked at the current Victor with interest. “Then are you a secondary personality now?”
“You could say that, please refer to as Victor No. 2.”
Having said that, Victor No. 2 received Richard’s data. Soon, Victor No. 2 said,
“As we can see, the Alchemy Wizard who designed this small Floating City is a master who deeply studies classical Alchemy. His design is full of many classic elents.”
Perhaps because of the primary personality’s earlier impulsiveness, Victor No. 2’s words were very diplomatic.
What this translated to was, the wizard who designed the Floating City was out of touch with the tis and had a bunch of outdated designs.
Richard acknowledged this opinion because he too could see that the design used many outdated technologies.
But even so, Richard still argued feebly, “Our design goal is stability, so we used many ‘classic’ designs.”
“Is that so? From the perspective of stability, this design is indeed very impressive,” replied Victor No. 2.
“But what we need is not a flying Wizard Tower; what we need is a movable War Fortress, where stability alone is not enough.
So, we are most likely going to discard this design.
However, I would really like to et this wizard. His research on classical design is exactly what the R&D departnt is missing.”
Richard’s eyebrows quirked slightly, “If it was before, I might have introduced him to you, but now I must consider his safety first.”
Victor No. 2 said calmly, “Please rest assured, I swear by the Sea of Souls that I will not do anything to this wizard beyond research discussion.”
With that, an extrely subtle fluctuation emanated from Victor’s body.
It was the sign of taking a vow on the Sea of Souls.
