That is restrained happiness.

Richard came to the first-floor lobby of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood with a bulging black bag, called Stephanie who was waiting for him there, and prepared to return to Fana's villa.

Although a month and a half has passed, Richard's original villa was severely damaged and is still under repair. Therefore, Richard and his servants are still living in Fana's villa.

Just as Richard and Stephanie were about to leave the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood headquarters, a voice sounded behind them: "Master Levi, please wait a moment."

Richard turned his head and looked behind him in confusion. It turned out to be Fritz, the butler on the second floor.

"Butler Fritz, is there anything else?"

"Master Levi, I heard that you are looking for an inscription master to help repair a piece of equipment. Perhaps I can help a little with this matter. I have a good friend who happens to be an inscription master. He just came to Tug City from the imperial capital two days ago."

Upon hearing this, Richard looked up at Fritz. He didn't expect that his visit to the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood headquarters today would bring him double happiness.

Could this be what the previous life said, 'Those who survive a great calamity will be blessed in the future, and a blessing in disguise?'

However, compared with the danger of assassination, this blessing is better not to have. Thinking of this, Richard couldn't help but shook his head in self-mockery.

However, Richard's expression made Fritz rather confused.

"Master Levi, you."

"That's great, Butler Fritz. I'll leave this matter to you. I'll ask Fingate to deliver the item to you later." Richard said with a smile.

"Okay, Master Levi."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two said goodbye to each other, and neither of them discussed the question of how many magic stones were needed.

For Fritz, Master Levi, whose status is rising in the eyes of Vice President Hawkins, is an important friend of his, not to mention that this friend is also a master who is proficient in both the branches of pharmacy and explosives.

You never know when you might cause trouble to the other person.

As for Richard, with the friendship of such a great steward on the second floor, some things would be easier to do. -- A few days later, Richard finally solved the crystal problem, and now had (27/27) flame crystals and (9/9) flame essences.

The residual period from the last use of the swamp giant's blood has also just ended.

Immediately, Richard opened the box again, looking at the blood-red mixed black dragon blood crystals, he couldn't help but feel a little impatient! However, after thinking about it, he closed the box. Before starting to improve, he needed to adjust his condition to the best.

Half a day later, Fingart was left guarding the door of the alchemy room.

Stephanie accompanied Richard into the alchemy room for a good reason. Now that she was a formal wizard, she could help Richard if anything unexpected happened.

Since the last battle with the assassins, the two had grown closer, and Richard did not reject Stephanie's concern.

"Stephanie, I'll start then."

"Master, won't you wait a little longer? Third-level source blood"

Stephanie lowered her head, with an indelible worry between her brows. You know, this is the third-level source blood. When Stephanie was helping Richard find information these days, she also learned that generally those who take the third-level source blood are at least second-level wizards.

However, his master was only a beginner-level wizard, not even a high-level first-level wizard. At least in the relevant records he had searched, he could not find a third-level source blood user with such low strength.

The unknown means risks.

"Don't worry!" Richard said to Stephanie with a smile.

"Come on, Master! I believe you will succeed." Although Stephanie said this, her clenched fists still revealed her inner nervousness.

Immediately, Richard placed the nine flame essences and twenty-seven flame crystals into the mixed crystal aggregation magic array that had been prepared in advance according to specific regulations.

Taking a deep breath, Richard used his mental power to control the magic circle. Suddenly, a red light shone brightly, and an extremely hot energy began to gather in the center of the magic circle.

As the energy became more and more concentrated, a tiny flame began to appear out of thin air above the witch formation.

But this was just the beginning. As the energy fluctuations reached its peak, the small flame gradually transformed into a flame elf that was as tall as a person and shaped like a first-level fire element. However, the surface of this flame elf was shining with a faint golden light.

Seeing such a scene, Stephanie was immediately dazzled.

However, she immediately covered her mouth, fearing that any sound she made accidentally would disturb her master Richard who was concentrating on his work.

At this time, Richard, who was concentrating on staring at the sky above the witch formation, nodded slightly. It was consistent with the vision of using the Heart of Fire recorded in the books, and everything was moving in the expected direction.

At this moment, the temperature of the flame had reached its highest point. Richard quickly ejected the fingernail-sized blood-colored crystal that he had prepared long ago into the arms of the flame elf.

In an instant! The jumbled black dragon blood crystals shattered!

In less than a second, an ancient aura emanated from the center of the witch formation. Stephanie on the side immediately felt something was wrong. This aura was completely irresistible to her. It had nothing to do with strength, but seemed to be an instinct coming from deep in her blood.

"boom!"

A miniature black dragon suddenly appeared in the air, roaring at the golden fire element.

The two seemed completely irreconcilable and suddenly they started fighting each other.

However , it was completely different from what Richard expected. Although the mini black dragon phantom was less than half the size of the golden fire element, the result was that the mini black dragon beat the opponent back step by step.

This shocked Richard! If the situation continues to develop like this, the ignition plan will inevitably fail.

"Stephana, add the fire crystal!"

At the same time, Richard immediately began to increase the input of mental power. The flames in the witch formation suddenly burned more violently. The morale of the golden fire element was immediately boosted, and it started fighting with the mini black dragon phantom again.

However, the twenty-seven flame crystals in the magic formation are now dull in color, and it is obvious that more than half of their energy has been consumed.

If there is no new force joining, I am afraid that the golden flame will still be the first to collapse.

This counterattack turned out to be a last gasp.

Fortunately, Richard had made preparations for both situations. Although he could not get the second-level flame essence in a short period of time, he still prepared ten more first-level flame crystals.

After replacing some of the shattered flame crystals with these "fresh forces", the golden flame finally suppressed the mini black dragon's phantom.

In the end, the mini black dragon phantom didn't even have the strength to whisper!

Just when the mini black dragon's intelligence was dissipating, Richard swallowed the refined mini black dragon's phantom into his stomach without any hesitation.

A black light suddenly entered Richard's mouth! The next second, Richard felt as if his soul was sleeping in his mother's arms. A sense of comfort and ease from the depths of his soul came naturally.

When Richard woke up again, he found Stephanie dozing off on a chair beside him. It was obvious that his promotion had taken a long time.

Richard called up the inspiration panel and took a look: [Name]: Richard Clavier [Attributes]: Strength 11.2, Agility 12.1, Constitution 11.9, Spirit 68.5 (Atomization 62%)

Hiss! His mental strength increased by more than twenty points, and Richard could clearly feel that this increase would continue for a while, although the magnitude would be much smaller.

The degree of atomization soared to 62%, skipping the middle stage of the first-level wizard and directly entering the high stage of the first-level wizard.

This made Richard extremely happy!

You know, even if you practice the variation of meditation method that has reached the extreme level every day, it will take at least five years to reach the current level.

But with the help of the mixed black dragon blood essence, it only took one day for him to complete the journey that would have taken five years!

Richard concentrated and held his breath, probing his consciousness into his body and carefully checking his physical condition. After a while, his face changed slightly, and he could faintly see a vague shadow of a black dragon entwined deep within his body.

It was completely different from the previous incident with the swamp giant.

That time, Richard could clearly sense the approximate residual period.

But this time, the residual period of the blood essence seems to be very, very long. It is not just a few years. It seems to be ten years or even longer!

Richard thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and put the idea behind him.

My own strength has been greatly improved. Even if the bloodline remains for a longer period of time, it will be a good thing that can only make money and not lose money.

Others can't even dream of it! However, although my strength has greatly increased this time, I can clearly feel that my perception is sharper and my mental strength is stronger, but it seems that why do I feel that Stephanie is more beautiful?

Could it be because the other party had been promoted to a formal wizard? Or was it because I had never thought about it in this way before?

Looking at Stephanie's beautiful face, charming lips, long eyelashes and curvy figure, I always feel an irrepressible urge to do something.

A flash passed through my mind.

Dragons like to do happy things with all kinds of creatures, and leave behind many dragon vein creatures, or offspring. Could it be that using the mixed black dragon blood would have such sequelae? Stephanie, who was taking a nap, suddenly felt someone hugging her.

She opened her eyes and her expression of joy had not yet fully appeared. Fingart, who was standing at the door of the alchemy room, heard the familiar voice coming from inside the door again: "Ah! Ah Master, I can't stand it!!"

Fingart couldn't help but reveal an envious expression. Hey, the master helped Stephanie improve her strength again?

I'm so envious! I don't know when the master will help me improve my strength. A few minutes later, Fingate outside the door seemed to be unable to keep calm anymore. He took a few steps forward and shook his head slightly, saying, "Alas! Although it is to improve strength, this voice is too provocative and too easy to be misunderstood!" - At this time, several uninvited guests came to the surroundings of Fana Villa.

All they saw were people wearing black robes and hoods, and their faces could not be seen at all.

However, the weapons in the hands of the three people are unique and have their own characteristics, namely a giant bow, double swords and a short staff.

The black-robed woman holding a short staff exchanged glances with her companions, then jumped directly into the villa.

After entering the villa, the woman in black had no intention of avoiding the guards.

"Who?"

"Enemy attack!!"

A group of gray dwarf guards in the villa immediately sounded the warning whistle.

Ever since the last attack by the Jade Fire Cult, Fana's villa has strengthened its guards, almost doubling the number of personnel, and raising the threshold for guards to above the intermediate knight, or a third-level wizard apprentice.

It can be said that as long as there is any disturbance in the villa, it will not escape the control of so many guards.

But she never expected that someone would enter the villa so carelessly without any hiding.

Soon, Fana and more than ten guards surrounded the black-robed woman! "Who are you?"

Fana looked at the other party with a serious expression. Although they had not fought, the powerful aura revealed by the other party clearly showed that the other party was not an easy opponent.

"Most people should be here by now."

The woman in black robe answered the question irrelevantly.

It seems to be more of a self-questioning and self-answering.

Suddenly, the woman in black took out a transparent glass bottle from her waist bag. The bottle was only the size of a palm. After pulling out the stopper, she quickly took out a black pill and threw it into her mouth.

"not good!"

When Fana saw it, she immediately shouted, "Attack!"

But the black-robed woman's movements suddenly accelerated! After chewing a few times, the black-robed woman opened her mouth, and her cherry-like mouth had now opened to her earlobes, looking extremely ferocious and weird. At the same time, she gestured forward with both hands to form two twisted glowing runes.

"ah!!!"

An extremely sharp sound came from the bloody mouth of the woman in black robe.

Everyone who was standing in front of the woman in black robes was numbed by the high-decibel, piercing noise and had their eardrums ruptured.

For a moment, in a huge fan-shaped area with the black-robed woman at the top, everyone stopped casting spells or attacking, covered their ears with their hands, and staggered in pain.

The black-robed woman had no intention of stopping and continued to launch sonic attacks. Many people in the fan-shaped area could no longer hold on and some fell to their knees wailing in pain, while others rolled on the ground with their hands on their heads, unable to suppress the severe pain in their heads that felt like they were being torn apart!

Since Fana was at the front of the guard team and closest to the woman in black robe, she was the main target of the sound waves.

Therefore, although she cast a defensive spell in time, the sound wave attack still made her dizzy! Of course, the sound wave attack of the black-robed woman was so loud that it not only alarmed Fingart outside the alchemy room, but also alarmed the two people in the alchemy room.
