The wizard starts with the get inspiration panel

Chapter 211 The Scorched Earth Secret Realm
Gorkan must be brought with him. Logically speaking, his water witchcraft is very lethal to fire elemental creatures.

Fingart?
Li Cha shook his head.

The strength of the third-level wizard apprentice is still a little too weak, so let him guard the house.

Stephana's words, although in terms of strength, are only at the limit of an apprentice, she should be taken to be responsible for daily life. After all, even if she explores the periphery of the Scorched Earth Secret Realm, she probably won't find anything good in seven or eight days.

However, before going there, some preparations need to be done.

Richard did not intend to go deep into the Scorched Earth Secret Realm this time, but only planned to explore the periphery of the Scorched Earth Secret Realm.

The flame crystal he needs comes from the first-order fire element, an elemental creature that should exist outside the Scorched Earth Secret Realm.

According to ancient books, the same is true for fire flowers. Although the deeper you go, the more fire flowers there are, but there are also a small amount of fire flowers on the periphery of the Scorched Earth Secret Realm, and many people have collected them.

The number of fire flowers that Richard needs is not very large. With the inspiration panel, he does not need too many raw materials to make Fenrir potion.

Because taking too much Fenrir medicine will also cause the body to develop drug resistance. The first bottle has the best effect, and then it gradually reduces its effectiveness until it has almost no effect.

Therefore, under this consideration, Richard thought about it and realized that he now had the blood and bone puppet and the hatred of the resentful spirit, plus Gorkan who was proficient in water witchcraft.

In terms of combat power, it should be relatively safe to kill the lone first-level fire element.

Richard is not considering forming a team!

Because if they form a team, not only may they reveal the extraordinary combat power of the puppet made by Richard, but they will also kill the first-order fire element, and the flame spar will be distributed among everyone according to their contribution.

In this case, if Richard doesn't expose his true strength, it feels like he is just doing a part-time job.

Maybe other first-level high-level wizards have collected two or three pieces, so he can get one piece.

After all, those wizards who dare to operate in the Scorched Earth Secret Realm for a long time are not heard to be only the first level of strength.

As for inviting Dissol and others together?
It's not that Richard hasn't thought about it.

But Dissol is currently obsessed with brewing new rye beers, and plans to apply hops to the brewing process of other beers, and from the perspective of the Chamber of Commerce.

There must also be one person responsible for brewing, selling and promoting beer.

If both himself and Dissol went to the Scorched Earth Secret Realm, the entire series of new beer operations would be greatly affected.

At present, it is the initial stage of new beer, and Dissol is still inseparable.

In addition, although Disol cannot be called a puppet master, he at least has the strength of a senior puppet master, and it is easy to see the reality of the blood and bone puppet.

Because the blood and bone puppets are high-level puppets, people who are not puppet masters cannot start making them at all.

What's more, no one has successfully made a blood and bone puppet for hundreds of years.
You know, I came to Tuge City at the invitation of Dissol. Before arriving in Tuge City, I had almost no knowledge of puppetry, but now in less than a month, I have become a master of puppetry?
Obviously, I will be completely unable to explain all this by then.

Even though he and Disol have always had a good relationship, Richard believes that he cannot place his own safety on the conscience of others.

In particular, the gray dwarves are a race that is extremely interested in puppetry. If the news that they can make blood and bone puppets is leaked, they may be dragged into a group of old gray dwarves for slice experiments.

but
Now, the blood and bone puppet can be further improved.

Richard thought for a while, then whispered the spell, and instantly, a huge inverse pentagram witch formation appeared on the ground.

As a dazzling green light flashed, a three-meter-tall bone demon with an unusually thick frame was summoned. It was the Blood and Bone Puppet.

Letting the blood-bone puppet lie on the ground, Richard began to redraw the energy channels on the inside of the blood-bone puppet's ribs, the inside of the spine, and other locations.

That's right!

Richard planned to apply the dual energy channel technology he had just mastered to the blood and bone puppet.

an hour later
The blood and bone puppet that originally had only one energy core has now been transformed into two.

After Richard inserted two high-level magic stones, he ordered the blood and bone puppet to carry out a simulated attack.

I saw the blood and bone puppet swishing twice against the extremely solid wall of the alchemy room.

I only felt two strong winds passing by, and two long scratches as deep as one finger appeared on the hard quartz wall, forming a big X shape.

This immediately shocked Richard. Needless to say, the attack power could destroy the quartz wall like this, which definitely reached the level of witchcraft attack of a first-level high-level wizard.

But what amazed Richard even more was its speed. The blood-bone puppet, which originally moved extremely fast among undead creatures, after being transformed into a dual-channel energy core, its moving speed has once again increased significantly.

Quantitative change produces qualitative change!

Now, the blood-bone puppet's movement speed is almost faster than that of the night elf's high-level spider woman who is known for her dexterity.

However, the size of the blood-bone puppet is much larger than that of the high-level spider girl before she transformed. In particular, the arm span of the ogre skeleton has reached three and a half meters. With the bone knife grown from the mutant elbow, it can exert A more terrifying lethality than Spider-Girl's blade arm.

Moreover, Richard also made some calculations and found that the duration of the blood-bone puppet's burst had also been effectively extended.

If you include the increase in movement speed and attack speed, etc., he expects that the overall combat effectiveness of the blood-bone puppet after the transformation of the dual-channel energy source will be increased by more than 15%.

This made Richard feel quite happy.

After spending a large amount of magic stones, it's time to harvest.
-
The next morning, after Richard completed his daily production tasks, he came to the task hall on the first floor of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood.

After showing the mithril emblem, Richard said to the gray dwarf girl at the counter: "I want to hire several third-level wizard apprentices. Is there a list of relevant personnel?"

"Yes, Master Levi, do you have any requirements for the gender, age, specialization, etc. of wizard apprentices?"

Richard thought for a while and said: "It is best to specialize in the plant cultivation department. If not, choose the natural department."

"Please wait a moment." The little gray dwarf girl said with a smile, and began to quickly flip through the information.

In the past few days, after Richard broke down the mass cultivation of hops step by step, he found that at least two third-level wizard apprentices who can use zero-level natural witchcraft to grow at a rapid speed, and another who can use water system are all needed. A third-level wizard apprentice with zero-level wizardry nourishment is enough.

You must know that the hiring cost of a third-level wizard apprentice is at least ten times cheaper than that of a formal wizard.

If I can recruit suitable wizard apprentices this time, I can not only greatly reduce labor costs, but also lay a good foundation for the next expansion of production capacity.

After a while, the little gray dwarf girl said slightly apologetically: "Master Levi, I'm very sorry. The last third-level wizard apprentice specializing in plant cultivation was hired the day before yesterday."

"Then, I helped you check for third-level wizard apprentices in the natural department. Currently, there are only these five left."

After saying that, the gray dwarf girl respectfully handed over a parchment roll.

This parchment scroll is obviously different from the parchment scrolls generally used for recording. Judging from the faint energy fluctuations, it seems to be the fluctuations of the plastic energy system.

Richard took it and took a look. It was really interesting.

There were two columns on the parchment, one with three people and one with two people, a total of five people's resume files, which included names, genders, ages, specialties, and family, organization, or college affiliations.These are just ordinary things. The most eye-catching thing is the appearance column of the five people. In the appearance column that is half the size of a palm, there are lifelike head portraits that look like dynamic photos of previous lives.

These portraits are like living people, smiling and nodding towards Richard.

Among the five people, except for one lizardman and one fishman, the other three are gray dwarves, but race is not the focus of Richard's attention.

Since the content was not much, Richard finished browsing it quickly, but after reading it, he frowned.

Because Richard discovered that whether it was a lizardman, a fishman or a gray dwarf, in the organization column, it was basically clear that there was a wizard family or wizard-level force behind them.

This immediately made Richard worried.

The purpose of recruiting third-level wizard apprentices is to cultivate large quantities of hops. If the entire cultivation method is leaked, it will undoubtedly affect the profits of the Brewers Association.

It's not that Richard thinks that no one can successfully imitate the new beer he sells.

Even if it is kept secret, the master alchemists among the gray dwarves will inevitably discover that hops are added to the new beer after a while.

But the other party also needs a lot of time to adjust the proportion of this ingredient, test the production process, etc.

By the time the other party imitated the taste of a similar new beer, Richard had already made a lot of money.

But at this stage, the matter of cultivating hops in large quantities cannot be leaked.

"Thank you! However, these five people are not suitable. By the way, did anyone take the repair task I issued last time?" Richard asked.

Before asking, Richard also knew that there was a high probability that no one would take it.

Otherwise, the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood would have sent someone to contact him long ago. After all, the Mutated Summoning Staff is still on their side and has not been stored in the mission hall.

"Master Li Wei, I'm very sorry. The inscription masters are quite busy, so so far, no one has taken over your task." The gray dwarf girl said very apologetically.

Richard nodded to the gray dwarf girl and left the mission hall.

It seems that I have to go to Disol.

Dissol has been busy recently with new beer, which is relatively easy to find and should be at his home.

After a while, Richard arrived at Dissol's villa.

"Hey, Levi, my brother, why did you think of coming to see me today?" Dissol stepped forward and gave Richard a warm hug.

"I heard that you have been diving into the secret drawings given to you by Lord Hawkins these past few days! How is your research going? Given your relationship with me, why don't you reveal some inside information to me?" Dissol said with a wink.

"Dissol, although I really want to tell you, Lord Hawkins specifically asked for confidentiality when he handed the drawings to me. The most important thing is that I signed the confidentiality agreement!" Richard spread his hands and said that he also Very helpless, he said with a smile.

Of course, Richard knew that Dissol was joking.

"Well, that's such a pity! By the way, you came just in time today to try my newly brewed oatmeal beer mixed with hops." Dissol enthusiastically pulled Richard to the living room. .

Richard had also heard of oatmeal beer. It was another beer that was comparable to rye beer and had a softer taste. Its audience was mostly rich and noble.

"Thank you, Dissol, but I came here today to inquire about some information about the Scorched Earth Secret Realm. I plan to try my luck in the Scorched Earth Secret Realm in a few days."

"Haha, Levi, are you kidding? Although your talent in alchemy is beyond my reach, your own strength is only the first level of the first level. The Scorched Earth Secret Realm is not suitable for you now."

As soon as Richard finished speaking, Disol jumped up in shock and shook his head repeatedly.

"Desol, my brother, is the Scorched Earth Secret Realm really so dangerous?" Richard looked at Dissol suspiciously.

Regarding the situation of the Scorched Earth Secret Realm, it is not a top secret. Not only did Disol briefly introduce it last time, but Richard himself also checked the relevant ancient books and information in the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood's data room.

Richard thought that with the blood-bone puppets and resentful abominations he currently had on hand, it should be easy to kill a first-level fire elemental.

Of course, Richard could understand Dissol's attitude. After all, he didn't know his hidden methods.

"Levi, go to the Scorched Earth Secret Realm, either for the flame crystals, or for the rare herbs that like to grow in the scorching environment. Of course, it is also possible to look for special ores."

"But no matter what kind of resource, after so many years of exploration, the possibility of encountering the above-mentioned materials in the outermost periphery of the Scorched Earth Secret Realm is extremely slim."

"If you want to gain something, you must go to the center of the Scorched Earth Secret Realm, but the number of various flame or lava elemental creatures you encounter will suddenly increase. Therefore, there is basically an unwritten rule in the Scorched Earth Secret Realm. Generally, Generally speaking, only first-level high-level wizards can enter the exploration."

"Desol, isn't there a positioning device? Although the strength of the first-level wizards is a little bit behind, if a few people form a team together, even if they are randomly teleported, they should be able to stay together, right?"

Richard pondered for a moment and then asked, still puzzled.

Dissol shook his head and said:
"No, the terrain in the Scorched Earth Secret is complex. Not only are there complex lava channels, but there are also underground magma rivers running through it. Even if the two wizards find that they are not far apart through the positioning device, they may not be able to gather together."

When Richard heard this, he suddenly felt enlightened.The terrain in this scorched-earth secret is like Chongqing in the previous life. The positioning in the navigation may be five meters apart, but in fact one person may be on the [-]th floor, while the other person is on the first floor.

"Moreover, on your way to gather with your teammates, you may encounter attacks from multiple elemental creatures that you cannot resist. At this time, you have no choice but to leave the secret realm forcibly." Dissol looked at Richard and continued.

But Disol seemed to see that Richard had a strong desire to go.

"Levi, if you don't care about the harvest, it's not impossible to go see it if you are prepared. After all, you can buy the teleportation stone. If you encounter danger, crush the teleportation stone immediately and you can teleport out the scorched earth. Secret realm.”

"Teleportation stone?" Richard asked doubtfully.

It seems that I have not seen any introduction to related teleportation stones in ancient books.

"I forgot to tell you that the Scorched Earth Secret Realm was sealed by the ancient gray dwarf wizards after all. After so many years of research, the gray dwarf masters of the wizard formation developed a unique technique for making teleportation stones based on the records of the sages."

"When explorers encounter force majeure, they can crush the teleportation stone and return directly to the teleportation array at the entrance to the secret realm."

Richard nodded. It turned out that it was only studied in the past few hundred years.

"It's just that the price is a little expensive. It costs [-] magic stones. But for a rich man like you, this shouldn't be a problem at all." Disol patted Richard on the shoulder and laughed.

Richard smiled bitterly in his heart. Dissol obviously didn't know that the magic stones he had obtained from selling the shares had basically been spent by him now.

If he spent another [-] magic stones to buy the teleportation stone, he would basically be emptying out the last magic stone in his pocket.

wrong!

He and Gorkan get [-] magic stones!
It seems like it’s not about spending money, it’s about going into debt.
However, this time he came to Dissol, in addition to asking about the situation of the Scorched Earth Secret Realm, there was one more thing.

It’s about cultivating hops in large quantities.

"By the way, Disol, I have a little trouble with the large-scale cultivation of hops." Richard said in a deep voice, comparing the troubles he encountered when recruiting third-level wizard apprentices in the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood mission hall with Disol. Thor said something.
