The membership card is an identity document issued by the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council to every official wizard. It is proof that a wizard can enjoy various membership benefits.
In order to facilitate his future travels in the wizard world, Levi naturally bound this membership card, otherwise he would have difficulty dealing with the authorities in the future. The membership card directly binds a trace of the wizard's mental power, forming an imprint that cannot be tampered with. Every wizard's mental power is unique, similar to the ID number or fingerprint of the previous life, so even if someone else pretends to be Levi, or Levi wants to pretend to be someone else, if the mental power of the witness is inconsistent, it will be investigated by the Pan-dimensional Wizard Council.
Levi took out his membership card. There was no portrait of Levi on it, only Levi's membership number and mental imprint. In the wizarding world, appearance doesn't play a big role. If you really want to do something bad, there are too many kinds of illusions or spells to change your appearance.
The witch named Lina used a special magical device to scan Levi's membership card, and some basic information of Levi appeared on a stone slab.
【Member Number: ……9527】
【Member Name: Levi Sneak】
[Organization: Gray Tower (Three Rings)]
【Member Level: One Star (One Ring)】
[Violation record: None]
After confirming that Levi's identity was ok, Lina smiled and said, "Sir Levi, I am the witch Lina. Please follow me to buy the island."
Levi looked at the trading hall curiously. There were only a few wizards here now, basically no one was there. It was obvious that the real estate industry in the wizarding world was depressed. After experiencing the impact of the tide of sea beasts, wizards and wizard organizations were tightening their belts to make ends meet.
Under the guidance of the passionate witch Lina, Levi came to a huge blue light curtain. This light curtain was a map of this sea area, with various archipelagos dotted on it like stars.
"This is the situation of all the islands in the sea area of the ninth district in the southern part of the outer ring. Sir Levi, you only need to use your mental power to perceive the green light spots on this map to perceive the information of the islands on sale.
The islands in the Endless Sea are divided into nine levels. From level one to level nine, the elemental power around the islands increases. In the ninth area, the best island is Whale Song Island, which is a level three water elemental power island. Of course, this is just an example for you. Whale Song Island is naturally not for sale. What level of island do you want?" Lina asked with a smile.
"Let me take a look first." Levi said.
The sea area where the Gray Tower and Whale Song Island are located is officially called [Outer Ring Southern Sea Area District 9]. This Archipelago House is just a branch of District 9. Levi looked at the screen and wanted to choose an island that was not too far from the Gray Tower. As for the elemental power, the richer the better, but Levi didn't force it. Anyway, he had the proficiency panel and potions, so the elemental power didn't have much impact on Levi.
At present, most of the islands on the map have been owned, leaving Levi with few options. Levi looked at the islands near the Gray Tower, and there were even fewer that could meet the basic living needs of people and practice.
[Black Chicken Island (Level 1 Water Elemental Power)]
[Island property certificate number: Cxk250]
[Island price: 5000 Taishi]
“It’s too expensive.”
Levi shook his head. Although this island seemed to be closer to the Gray Tower, it was too expensive. Five thousand Taishi, he could afford it, but it was not worth it.
[White Belt Island (Level 2 Water Elemental Power)]
[Island price: 8000 Taishi]
"The second-level water elemental power is more expensive, and it's a bit close to Whale Song Island, so let's forget it."
Levi looked at them one by one.
Until he found an island in a relatively remote sea area. Although it was a little far from the Gray Tower, the advantage was that it was also far away from other organizations. This way he would not be easily disturbed and could practice with peace of mind.
[Black Fire Island (Level 2 Fire Elemental Power/Level 1 Water Elemental Power)]
[Island price: 4000 Taishi (discount promotion shocking price)]
"Hmm? Blackfire Island, isn't this Kane's island?" Levi said to himself.
"This island is good. It not only has the first-level water element power, but also the second-level fire element power. Moreover, the price is very cheap, even cheaper than the first-level Black Chicken Island." Levi analyzed in his heart.
Then he asked Lina: "Is there something wrong with this island? Why are the prices a little abnormal?"
Lina smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Levi. The current rights status of this island is clear. Its property rights belong to the Tower of Stars, and there are no problems. The reason why the price is so low is that this island is more suitable for the practice of the Burning Faction. The fire elemental power on the island is quite violent. If the wizards of the Ocean Faction were on the island, it would be difficult for them to practice. Recently, there are no wizards of the Burning Faction in our Ninth District who are in demand, so we have not been able to sell it. We have a discount promotion. Black Fire Island used to be the island of Fire Playmaker Kane. Later, because of Kane's death, the ownership of the island was taken back. Now there are still many immovable properties left by Kane on the island. If Lord Levi buys it, in addition to this island, the property left by Kane on it will also belong to Lord Levi."
As an island salesperson, Lina knows every island well.
"Alas, Lord Kane is dead? I don't know who did it. Lord Kane was such a good person." Levi shook his head and sighed.
Lina also sighed: "This is how the wizarding world is."
"Then let's do this. I will buy this island. I can't afford the other islands." Levi thought for a while and said.
"Okay, sir. Please follow me." Lina was delighted. Another order was closed. As a salesperson, she was naturally happy.
Finally, Levi walked out of the House of the Islands holding something that looked like a memory slate.
This is the [Contract Slate], which is similar to the [Memory Slate], both of which are special props developed by wizards.
The contract slate is the carrier of contracts between wizards. The relevant rights and obligations clauses and the wizard's spiritual imprint are engraved on the slate. No party to the contract may violate the above contract. Once violated, their soul will suffer the backlash of the special contract spell solidified in the contract slate. It is said that except for high-level wizards and above, other wizards cannot resist this backlash. As for those above high-level wizards, there are other advanced contract spells for both parties to reach a contract.
It can be said that these seemingly inconspicuous stone slabs are the cornerstones of the system architecture of wizard civilization. The spirit of contract is indispensable for any civilization to progress.
According to the contents of the contract slate, after Levi purchased Blackfire Island, he owned the property rights of Blackfire Island for the next hundred years. He was the absolute owner of Blackfire Island. If any wizard broke into Levi's territory without Levi's permission, Levi had the right to kill the other party directly. Wizards attached great importance to the protection of private property.
"A hundred years is enough. And the contract can be renewed after a years hundred." Levi thought to himself.
At the same time, the contract slate is also equivalent to the title deed or property certificate of Blackfire Island. From now on, for one hundred years, according to the laws of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council, Levi's rights to Blackfire Island will be protected by the council, and no one can deprive them at will.
In principle, this prohibits some powerful wizards from bullying the weak, killing people and stealing treasures at will. Of course, in reality, in the darkness where the sun does not shine, there are definitely some people who break the law for profit, or have connections and backgrounds to bully the weak, and rob people. This is inevitable.
…
Blackfire Island.
Levi hid the Basilosaurus in a secluded abyss, while he swam to the island.
The Blackfire Island is now desolate. The staff of the Tower of Stars who once guarded here have long since withdrawn due to the tide of sea beasts. The Blackfire Island is full of traces of the sea beast attacks.
Levi looked at the desolate black island with emotion.
"I have a home now, hahaha, and I paid for it in full."
Blackfire Island spans 8 kilometers from east to west and 5 kilometers from north to south. It is much smaller than the island where the Gray Tower is located. However, the Gray Tower was prepared for the establishment of a wizard organization. Many mortals live on it to maintain the basic needs of the wizard organization. Levi only needs it to live in, so it doesn't need a too big house.
According to the introduction of the House of Islands, the sea area below Blackfire Island is a huge group of active volcanoes. The long-term eruption of these active volcanoes formed this island. The highest peak of Blackfire Island, [Fire Dragon Peak], is also an active volcano crater. The last eruption was thirty years ago.
However, these geological disasters are not dangerous to Levi. The rich power of fire element here greatly increases the power of his Burning Faction spells. The speed of practicing Sun Meditation and Burning Faction spells will also be faster. Generally speaking, this is a very good island.
Levi's Black Snake's Faith's perception is fully open, which can completely cover the entire Black Fire Island and the nearby sea areas. In this way, he can clearly know what is happening.
Suddenly, Levi's face darkened. He felt that there seemed to be something moving underground in the Black Fire Island. He thought it was a wild beast at first, until he carefully used his advanced perception to investigate, he found out it was a person.
Soon, Levi found an entrance at the crater of Fire Dragon Peak.
[House of Fire Master Kane]
"This is Kane's cave. The deeper you go underground, the stronger the power of the fire element, so Kane chose to build the cave underground. It seems that a wizard has secretly moved into Kane's cave and is practicing in it." Levi analyzed in his heart.
There is no danger in the spider-sensing, which means that the enemy should not be strong. No matter who it is, Levi has the right to expel the other party. If the other party refuses, then Levi can take action.
Thinking of this, Levi's face was calm. He walked down along the cave passage of Kane's House. The temperature was getting higher and higher, but for Levi, there was no discomfort.
Finally, Levi appeared in a spacious underground cave. A wizard in a gray robe opened his eyes, looked at Levi, and asked, "Who are you?"
"Who are you, Levi, the master of Blackfire Island? Why are you on my island?"
After Levi finished speaking, he took out his land deed.
The man took a look at the deed, and then suddenly laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I thought this was an unowned island. My name is Trel, an official wizard of the Blue Fire Alliance. Since this island has an owner, I will leave."
The man named Terrell smiled and looked very kind.
Levi felt the hairs on his arms stand up and knew it was the spider sense taking effect.
"Haha, you want to harm me? Why are you pretending to be a good person?" Levi sneered in his heart.
Spider sense can sense danger and people who are extremely hostile to oneself. When a person who can pose a certain threat to oneself and is hostile to oneself appears, spider sense will sound an alarm.
This guy has good acting skills and a kind smile, but he is a red-named NPC! In Spider-Sense, everything, any evil, will... have nowhere to hide!
"Then you can leave. I won't bother about what happened before. After all, you don't know that this island has an owner." Levi said with a smile.
"Okay, Lord Levi, I'll leave now." Trill smiled innocently, then he held the magic wand in his hand and left the underground cave vigilantly.
Levi was watching his every move with his advanced perception. If the other party did anything wrong, he would defend himself without hesitation and kill the other party here.
Finally, Trill flew away in his flying magic weapon.
Levi looked at Trill who was walking away with a thoughtful look on his face. The spider sense brought by the hostility had not disappeared yet.
Levi knew that the other party would definitely come looking for him again. Levi would naturally not really let go of someone who was hostile to him.
A small stone tablet appeared in Levi's hand. He chanted a spell, and the image of the conversation between Trill and himself just now slowly emerged on the stone tablet.
This is a photographic slate. The spells on it can record what happens within a certain range, just like surveillance, but clearer than surveillance recordings. Moreover, the photographic slate is absolutely objective and cannot be faked. Therefore, in the Wizard Inquisition, the contents recorded on the photographic slate can be used as evidence.
With Kane's previous experience as a lesson, Levi naturally became more cautious. He was a lawyer in his previous life, so he naturally knew the importance of this aspect. So he came prepared this time. In the future, if anyone trespassed into his island without permission, he would record it on the photo slate. In that way, if he killed the other person, it would be self-defense. With this evidence, the Wizarding Inquisition could not do anything to him.
After Trill left, Levi immediately devoted himself to the reclamation work of Blackfire Island. He first surveyed the entire island and memorized the basic situation of Blackfire Island in his mind.
After some exploration, Levi decided to live in Kane's cave as his shelter and daily living place. Kane's cave was very good, with a large space inside, but it was too hot, which was suitable for his practice of burning faction spells. He changed the sign from [Kane's House] to [Black Fire Cave].
The land on Black Fire Island is more fertile than Levi had imagined. Because of the accumulation of volcanic ash, it looks a little black. With a slight modification, it can be opened up into a medicinal garden. At that time, some herbs that are friendly to the fire element can be planted. They will surely grow well here. Originally, there was a medicinal garden planted by Kane on the hillside of Fire Dragon Peak, but it has been completely destroyed due to the tide of sea beasts.
In addition, Levi also found several very good natural caves. He modified them and put his holy scorpion in them. Levi plans to transform this place into a "holy scorpion breeding base". He has now obtained the insect school inheritance of the Spider Witch. This inheritance is much more comprehensive than the "Holy Insect Controlling Method" he got in the human world before. It systematically introduces the basic knowledge of the insect school, and there are also many notes of the Spider Witch, which are priceless treasures.
As for the thousands of red-faced sea ghost spiders, Levi did not dare to release them from the insect house for the time being. These strange insects were quite ferocious, and he did not have the special method to control them. If he released them, they might even backfire on him.
This red-faced sea ghost spider is not comparable to the holy scorpions that Levi obtained in the mortal world. In the alien insect ranking list set up by the wizards of the Insect School, this red-faced sea ghost spider ranks 111, which is the highest ranking among the lower-level alien insects.
You should know that in this alien insect ranking, the first 36 are all notorious high-quality alien insects, 37 to 108 are medium-level alien insects, and the Red-faced Sea Ghost Spider can be ranked 111, which shows how terrifying it is. This is also the trump card that the Spider Witch used to make a name for herself in this sea area.
Levi looked at the Zerg rankings, and his own Holy Scorpion was ranked outside the top 200. However, the Holy Scorpions on the rankings were the most common ones. Levi believed that his Holy Scorpion was much better than those. If he cultivated it carefully, it should be no worse than the top 200. Moreover, the Holy Scorpion had the possibility of advancing to a medium-level Zerg in the future. Although it came from the human world, it was vaguely related to the underworld myths of some civilizations. In many places, it was revered as a "Holy Beetle" or "Underworld Bug", so Levi was very optimistic about the potential of these little guys.
Of course, it would be even better if the red-faced sea spider could be tamed, but the red-faced sea spider's control spell is a second-level spell, and Levi probably won't be able to deal with these ferocious sea spiders in the short term.
After placing his sacred scorpion, it was already the next day. Levi could still feel the sense of danger from his spider sense. He knew that Trill was probably still thinking about how to deal with him.
Levi was not in a hurry. He took out the bodies of the rock troll couple, the green ghost Carter, Kane and Xiao Ba from the storage bag. Xiao Ba was the nickname Levi gave to the sea swordsman.
Except for Xiao Ba, all the other five zombies were covered by Levi with a layer of alchemical armor made of brass and mithril, which wrapped them tightly to enhance their defense. In addition, these armors also had isolation spells solidified by Levi at the tower master, which could isolate them from the mental detection of low-level wizards, so that no one could see the original appearance of these five zombies.
Inject the core of the undead into the bodies of these zombies, and then five zombies comparable to first-ring wizards stood up. These are Levi's cyberpunk version of the Five Generals of the Demon Family.
"Very good, you guys find a place to hide." Levi said to himself.
The Black Flame Demon Bird was also moved to the Black Fire Island by Levi. This demon bird liked hot places and soon fell in love with this place.
After everything was ready, Levi calmed down at his home on Blackfire Island, practicing breathing techniques while waiting for Trill's arrival.
Three days later, Levi, who was sitting on a huge red rock, stood up. His aura was a little stronger than before, because his Phoenix Breathing Method had reached its limit!
Levi——
Phoenix Breathing Technique: Level 11 (Extreme), Special Effects: Blood Ashes (Solid), Resurrection from the ashes.
…
Levi felt his body was reborn. His body was covered with layers of bloody ashes. These ashes contained a trace of magical power. He used the Poseidon Halberd to cut a hole in his arm, so deep that the white bones could be seen.
Then, blood ashes quickly flowed into the wound, and the next moment, a magical thing happened. The blood ashes turned into wriggling blood-colored flesh worms, drilled into Levi's wound, and formed bits of flesh and blood on Levi's arm. After about a minute, the wound was restored to its original state.
"It's still not as fast as the regeneration speed of the original vampires who rely on the will of the blood river, but such a serious wound can be healed in one minute. Except for some spells of the School of Life, other schools should not be able to do it."
Levi really wanted to cut off his arms and legs to see how long it would take for them to grow back, but after thinking it over he decided not to.
In general, the self-healing ability of the eleventh-level blood ashes has been greatly improved compared to before. In theory, now Levi can recover through the blood ashes even if the injuries are serious, as long as his key organs such as the head and heart are still there.
Of course, if possible, Levi would rather never have to use Blood Ashes' self-healing ability.
The extraordinary organ brought by the extreme limit of the Phoenix Breathing Technique is Levi's...palm.
As Levi's mind moved, his seemingly normal big hands suddenly became thin, long and black, with thick knuckles and sharp hooks growing out of the fingertips, which looked like eagle claws, with blazing flames on them, burning everything. This is the legendary organ of the Phoenix, which Levi calls the "Immortal Fire Claw".
This pair of sharp claws has extremely strong attack power and super regenerative ability. With a light scratch by Levi, the huge rock under him was neatly split into two by the Undead Fire Claws, and the void seemed to be torn apart.
Levi tried it and found that the hardness of this Undead Fire Claw was not much different from that of the Yaojin. It could be said that this claw itself was a magical weapon. Combined with the power of the golden whirlwind, the defensive spell of a first-ring wizard would be torn apart instantly.
"Black scales, flaming body, rock core, frost arms, blood embers, bird claws, dragon spine, whale back, hump, blood wings, ostrich feet, tentacles..."
Levi admired his own stunning looks and couldn't help but smile knowingly. The feeling of becoming stronger was so good.
As the Phoenix Breathing Technique advanced to the legendary level, Levi arrived at the realm of [Legendary Four-Dimensional State].
Legendary strength, legendary speed, legendary defense, legendary physique, these four important attributes have all reached legendary status, the only thing missing is legendary endurance and legendary perception.
"I am now gradually approaching the combat power of a second-ring wizard." Levi analyzed in his heart. Of course, it is still far from enough now.
In addition to the extreme limit of the Phoenix Breathing Technique, Levi estimates that the newly acquired Golden Horn Breathing Technique can also become a legend within two years. By then, the two legendary defensive breathing techniques, Golden Horn and Black Snake, will be combined. I wonder what powerful breathing technique can be mutated into.
As for the breathing methods of endurance and perception, Levi could only go with the flow, after all, there were too few of these two types of breathing methods. Especially perception, it was rarely seen. The ones he saw were all of a superficial level, and those of excellent quality were extremely rare.
The 1028th year of the Holy Hui Calendar, the month of germination.
It is unknown whether Terrell, who was hostile to Levi, was delayed by something or was planning something big. In short, Levi was ready, but he was not coming...
Levi naturally asked someone to investigate Trel's intelligence, and then he found out that Trel was not a member of the Azure Fire Alliance at all. He used to be a member of the alliance, but because of multiple crimes that violated the Pan-dimensional Wizard Council Act, he was eventually deprived of his membership and rights, and Trel became a dark wizard. If Levi had known this, he would not have needed to go through all these twists and turns, and could have just shot the other party to death on the spot, and he could have gone to the Tower of Stars to exchange for the bounty.
During this time, Levi had planted some seeds of the herbs he had collected previously in the medicine garden of Fire Dragon Peak, and watered them every day with the dew of the flower fairy, taking good care of their growth.
Many of these herbs are materials for refining the Sleeping Potion, which can also be used at the first-ring wizard stage, but the effect is far less than that of the apprentice stage. However, as the only meditation-aiding potion that Levi currently has, he naturally cannot give up refining it. Therefore, in addition to asking Manla to continue collecting materials for him, he also wants to grow some himself. Even if these herbs mature in the future and he no longer needs the Sleeping Potion, Levi can still use the Sleeping Potion to make money, which is not a loss at all.
It took more than a month to finally decorate the Blackfire Island. Levi looked at his own island with satisfaction, the happiness of an old farmer overflowing on his face.
"Farming is really a wonderful thing, but this island is still in need of some servants and guards. I definitely can't take care of it alone."
Levi wanted to refine some alchemical creatures in the future to guard the house and do some odd jobs. Compared with humans who might betray him, these iron lumps and living dead would be more obedient.
After you master the art of magic array, you can also arrange some magic arrays on the island, such as defense arrays, trap arrays, and attack arrays. Make your Black Fire Island impregnable. After all, Black Fire Island will be your second home for a long time to come. Before stepping into the third ring wizard, Levi did not plan to leave the outer ring sea area. Although the resources here are a little poor, the strength of wizards is generally weak. With Levi's strength, he can protect himself in this sea area without taking the initiative to cause trouble. The inner ring sea area is different. It is the "Dream Chasing Sea" where there are all kinds of people. Only mid-level wizards can barely gain a foothold. If a low-level wizard like Levi goes there, it is easy to be inexplicably involved in various dangerous whirlpools. In line with the principle of being a chicken head rather than a phoenix tail, it is the right way to farm and develop in the outer ring first, and then consider entering the inner ring after reaching the third ring.
After waiting for a few more days, Levi still didn't see Terrell. Since he didn't come, Levi was too lazy to wait any longer. He took Kane away and asked the other four generals of the Demon Family to look after the house. He took the King Dragon Whale to the Gray Tower. With the speed of the King Dragon Whale, if he traveled at full speed, it would only take two days from Black Fire Island to the Gray Tower. If he changed to the Azure Boat, it would take at least seven days.
Back in the tower, all the formal wizards were busy. Levi had now advanced to a formal wizard and was planning to start practicing alchemy, so he came to the seventh floor of the White Tower and met the tower master.
"I heard that you bought an island outside. How is it going? Is it going well?" asked the tower master.
"It's great to have an island like this. In the future, I will have a second home in the wizarding world besides the Gray Tower. Haha." Levi said with a smile.
He did not hide the fact that he bought the island from the Tower Master and Mai Lin, because he would definitely practice alone there for a long time in the future, and would only come back when he needed to attend classes or when there were activities in the tower. He certainly could not hide this from the Tower Master.
"That's good. As an official wizard, you still need to have your own base."
Hermann said that he had several private islands outside the Gray Tower, all of which were his properties. These private islands were mining islands where chalcopyrite could be mined, and occasionally some mithril ore could be found.
"Hehe, you are welcome to visit me in the future. If nothing unexpected happens, I will come back once a month to deal with some matters in the tower and attend classes. The rest of the time, I will stay on my island to practice."
Levi is now an official wizard. According to the rules of the tower, he also needs to teach at least one course. Levi is currently in charge of the pharmacist course in the tower. Because there are few part-time pharmacist apprentices, Levi only needs to attend class once a month.
"Okay, without further ado, let me take you into the wonderful world of alchemy." The tower master said with a smile.
…
In the following time, the tower master took time out of his busy schedule to teach Levi the knowledge of alchemy.
Alchemy is an emerging school of thought. So far, there are not many wizards from the alchemy faction. Generally speaking, most wizards from traditional factions believe that the alchemy faction is not the right way and it is impossible to give birth to legendary wizards.
In fact, judging from the situation described by the tower master, the alchemy faction is indeed in a miserable situation now. The strongest wizard in the entire faction is an eight-ring wizard. This is naturally very powerful for Levi, but as a school, there must at least be a great wizard who majors in the school to support it, so that it can be called a "mainstream school", such as the four traditional factions of earth, fire, feng shui, each of which has several legendary wizards.
Therefore, the status of wizards from the alchemy faction was very low. The tower master was also a wizard from the ocean school at the beginning, but after accidentally inheriting the legacy of a wizard from the alchemy faction, he found that he seemed to have more talent in alchemy than the ocean faction. He decisively switched to the alchemy faction, which many wizards believed to be "heretical", and soon achieved success in this field.
In fact, in the Azure Realm, there are not many people who have achieved higher alchemy than the tower master. As a traditional school of the Ocean School, wizards who study alchemy here are rare.
With the guidance of a famous teacher like the Tower Master, Levi's knowledge of alchemy improved rapidly.
Half a year later, Levi had basically mastered some of the most basic theoretical knowledge of the alchemy school, including alchemical bionics, alchemical materials, alchemical formula theory, alchemical rune foundation, alchemical dynamics, smelting and forging, etc. It is worth mentioning that smelting and forging are very easy for Levi, who has the fifth-level extreme forging, to learn.
In addition, a new skill appeared on Levi's proficiency panel.
Levi——
Furnace Meditation: Level 3 (3679/10000)
…
The Crucible Meditation is one of the few meditation methods in the Alchemy School, and is basically the introductory meditation method for all apprentices.
This meditation method was derived from the Sun Meditation Method of the Burning Faction, and was created specifically for the practice of the Alchemy School. Therefore, Li Wei practiced this meditation method very quickly, because this meditation method was also blessed by the special effects of the Fire God Dance. Moreover, for those who have already practiced four meditation methods to the fourth level, it is naturally easy to practice this Furnace Meditation Method without any obstacles.
After finishing the basic alchemy courses, Levi happily returned to Blackfire Island with a blueprint of an alchemical creature that he had purchased with points from the tower master.
This alchemical creature blueprint is one of the "alchemical guards" that shined in the sea beast tide before. Of course, alchemical guards are just a general term for the alchemical creatures that guard the house in the alchemical school. Below, they are divided into various models and levels.
In the entire alchemical creature system, similar to the extraordinary creatures, it is also divided according to the number of rings. However, the blueprints of alchemical creatures above one ring are more precious. There are not many of them on the tower master's side, and they are not something that Levi can master now. Therefore, the alchemical guard blueprint he got is the zero-ring alchemical creature "Swordsman Mantis".
The overall strength of this alchemical creature is similar to that of a high-level wizard apprentice. Its main weapon is not the alchemical cannon that many alchemical guards have, but a cold weapon type sickle. Although the alchemical cannon is powerful, it consumes too much stone. With Levi's current financial resources, it is not enough to support it, so he wants to refine a batch of swordsman mantises first, so that his Black Fire Island has a batch of alchemical creatures to watch the house and do odd jobs.
"Let's refine four in the first phase. The cost of making this swordsman mantis is not low. The material cost is 300 Taishi." Levi murmured in his heart.
Among these materials, brass, the main material, is not expensive. What is expensive is the alchemical energy core and the sickle weapon made of pure mithril by the swordsman mantis.
He prepared all the materials for refining the Swordsman Mantis and piled them up like a mountain.
After almost all the preparations were done, Levi began to refine the Swordsman Mantis, from the initial smelting and forging, to alchemical runes and alchemical inscriptions, to riveting, assembly, camouflage painting, etc., there were also various alchemical spells in between, so even the refining of the simplest zero-ring alchemical creature involved a project that far exceeded Levi's imagination.
Finally, a week later.
[Alchemy proficiency +325]
"Hmm? A new skill has been born."
Levi opened the proficiency panel.
Levi——
Alchemy: Level 1 (325/1000)
…
"Is it possible?"
Levi's face lit up with joy. This way, he was no longer afraid. Since it could appear on his proficiency panel, he would work hard on it!
In front of Levi was an alchemical creature about two meters long. This alchemical creature was completely black and blended in with the surrounding environment of Blackfire Island. It was covered with precise rivets and various alchemical runes. These runes formed the alchemical formula that allowed Swordsman Mantis to operate. On the back of Swordsman Mantis was a pair of foldable iron wings. If necessary, Swordsman Mantis could fly short distances. made of mithril, which were extremely sharp. The mantis sickle could be put away in non-combat state and replaced with fingers as flexible as humans, which could help Levi do some chores.
In short, this alchemical creature exudes the beauty of metal, and its streamlined body shows that it is an assassin-type alchemical guard who excels in speed.
"Now, it's time to test my results." Levi chanted the starting spell.
Time passed by minute by minute...the noisy wind blew across Levi's face.
"Failed..."
Levi muttered to himself. This was within his expectations, as he was not an alchemy genius.
"It should be a problem with the alchemical runes."
Levi could only dismantle the Swordsman Mantis and check it over and over again. Refining the Swordsman Tower once, even if it was a failure, could provide Levi with hundreds of proficiency points. It was not difficult to quickly improve this skill. It was nothing more than wasting some Taishi. Thinking of this, Levi struck while the iron was hot. After a rest, he devoted himself to the great cause of alchemy again.
Of course, while he was doing alchemy, he did not forget to be on guard. After all, until now, more than half a year has passed, and the spider sense still gives Levi a slight warning every day, and in recent days, the spider sense warning has become stronger and stronger, which means that the first-ring wizard Trel still has hostility towards him.
The year 1028 of the Holy Hui Calendar, the month of the North Wind.
In the waters near Blackfire Island, a wizard in a gray robe was flying a magic weapon towards Blackfire Island. This wizard was none other than Trill. Next to him was a wizard in a green robe, who seemed to be from the Ship of the Dead. the two was average, so even in the Ship of the Dead, not many people knew about it.
After meeting Levi half a year ago, Terry saw that Levi, an ordinary wizard, could spend a huge amount of money to buy Blackfire Island. He knew that Levi must be a rich man, so he had ill intentions towards Levi. However, he had a calm personality and would not do anything without certainty, so he did not take action at that time.
After half a year of training, Trill finally became a senior wizard of the first ring, but he was still worried, so he called Mute, with whom he had cooperated before, to act with him. After the two of them killed Levi, they divided Levi's property into 60:40.
