Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 354 - 70 Farret’s Legacy
Chapter 354 -70 Farret’s Legacy
After understanding his abilities, Richard left the ruins of Cross Town with Bones.
According to the map from the tavern, they were now in the wilderness between the rings. If they wanted to attack the Lawless Land again, they’d need to traverse the wilderness for a long time.
This was clearly a waste of time for Richard.
So, he refined some of the Power of Nightmare, restoring his spiritual power back to the level of a Second Ring Wizard.
He then once again formed a coffin and placed his Nightmare Body inside, allowing Bones to carry his body across the wilderness.
Meanwhile, he opened the Gate of Nightmare and returned to the Wizard World.
Back in the Wizard World, Richard’s soul entered his body, and he stretched lazily, a long-awaited gesture.
Over these years, his body had been somewhat out of control, with actions varying in power.
Now, at last, it had returned to normal.
Stepping out of the laboratory, Richard went to the neighboring room as usual, to inquire about Wuni’s learning progress.
During this period, Wuni was studying Giant Dragon Alchemy. This skill wasn’t created by wizards, and Wuni found it very challenging.
But Richard was a master of Giant Dragon Alchemy, and as his student, Wuni was not content to be merely average in it.
So, he had intensely committed himself to mastering Giant Dragon Alchemy.
Richard greatly appreciated this learning spirit, so he did not stop Wuni but instead told him to ask more questions whenever he encountered problems.
Although Richard’s skill in Giant Dragon Alchemy was acquired through the Miracle Furnace, a master remains a master, and a master’s instinctive responses could solve problems that baffled the mediocre.
…
In the room, a handsome young man was frowning deeply, focusing intently on the metal ingot in his hands.
Seven years had passed, and Wuni had “grown” from his former boyish appearance to that of a young man.
Under Wuni’s manipulation, golden patterns serpentined across the metal ingot like snakes.
But abruptly, the golden patterns halted.
Then, a surge of chaotic energy burst from the metal ingot, instantly twisting the already formed patterns into a mess.
Clearly, he had failed again.
“Don’t obsess over manipulating the metal, Wuni.”
Richard’s voice startled Wuni, who had been so engrossed in his alchemy that he hadn’t noticed Richard entering the room.
“Teacher.”
Wuni hastily stood up, bowing slightly to Richard.
Richard waved his hand, signaling him to sit down.
“Giant Dragon Alchemy is a technique of the giant dragons; you cannot approach it with a wizard’s mindset.”
Wuni’s face fell, looking rather dejected.
“Teacher, I understand that. To think like a dragon, I specifically went to Mistress Yelena to borrow lots of research materials on dragons.
But I still can’t grasp the way dragons think.”
Richard smiled, pulled up a chair, and sat in front of Wuni.
“What do you think a dragon is like? What do you think their mindset is like?”
“Um… well…”
After thinking for a long time, Wuni spoke uncertainly, “Dragons are powerful, once rulers of the Wizard World, noble and proud.
So in everyday life, they must be very arrogant.”
Richard shook his head, “Not arrogant, but domineering! Arrogance presupposes that both are members of the same social system.
Nobles can be arrogant toward the poor, but they wouldn’t be so toward an ant or a hunting dog because it’s meaningless.
For dragons, once rulers of the Wizard World, the other races under them were just like that.
And they would only treat these races with domineering commands.
If you’ve ever studied Dragon Language Magic, you’ll find that all the spells are imperatives.
Dragons even command elements and energy.
Their approach to alchemy is the same; they imperiously command the metal to reshape according to their will.”
Wuni frowned, faced with such abstract talk.
The metal isn’t sentient; how can he command it to change shape according to his will?
Seeing that Wuni still didn’t understand, Richard sighed and pulled out a metal ingot from his Magic Pocket.
“Your study of alchemy remains superficial. These skills were created by creatures, and their use inevitably brings in habits from everyday life.
For example, the alchemy created by wizards, where we explore the properties of materials, following their natural patterns.
This reflects the humble explorative nature of wizards, always trying to make the most of the material’s inherent advantages.
Dragons, however, are ruthless rulers commanding materials without regard for their patterns or properties; your requirements are what matter.
Like this.”
As he spoke, the metal ingot in Richard’s hand began to change shape.
He deliberately slowed down the transformation of the metal ingot.
Wuni could even see the metal slowly forming golden patterns.
Wuni widened his eyes, not missing any detail of the transformation. And while he concentrated, his spiritual power began changing unconsciously.
Spiritual power runes appeared in his mind, one by one, and all at once, his vision became extremely narrow and very clear.
The transformations of the metal ingot were vividly clear in his eyes; he could even observe the minute changes of the metal ingot beyond human sensations.
He could see the internal structure of the metal ingot being dominantly destroyed and then reconstructed one by one according to Richard’s will.
If viewed from the perspective of a Wizard Alchemy, this process seemed like the brutish, forceful work of a bull, devoid of any finesse or aesthetic.
Yet this seemingly untechnical method reshaped the structure of the metal ingot, allowing the golden patterns to grow smoothly.
At this moment, Wuni finally understood his own problem.
A true teaching in one sentence, a false one spreads across thousands of books.
Without deliberate guidance, an Alchemy Wizard accustomed to adapting to the material’s mindset might never achieve success in Giant Dragon Alchemy in his lifetime.
It was a problem with the underlying logic of Alchemy.
As Wuni arrived at this realization, Richard also noticed the change in Wuni.
Wuni’s spiritual power underwent a complex and delicate change, which had surpassed mere coincidence.
“Wuni, what were you just using?” Richard suddenly asked.
“Ah!?”
Startled by Richard as he was intently observing the changes in the metal ingot, Wuni’s change in spiritual power dissipated like smoke.
“What did you say, teacher?”
Richard frowned slightly, “I asked what you were doing just now? Didn’t you notice? Your spiritual power underwent a very precise change.”
“Oh, oh,” Wuni suddenly realized, “I don’t know. I was mesmerized watching you perform Alchemy, teacher.
Then somehow, the change just happened, like… like…”
Suddenly, images flashed before Wuni’s eyes—scenes that seemed to be… Rune Arrays!
Panicking, Wuni moved to the desk, grabbed the quill, and began to write with such force that he nearly knocked over the ink bottle.
When Richard came beside Wuni and saw the Rune Arrays he was writing, he was taken aback.
He had studied a bit of Soul Study, so he could understand a thing or two about what Wuni wrote.
If he was not mistaken, Wuni was writing a Magic Model of Soul Witchcraft.
“Could his memories still remain?” Richard wondered inwardly.
Soon after, Wuni completed the detailed Magic Model and looked at the content on the paper, blankly turning towards Richard.
“Teacher, these are…”
Richard replied softly, “This is a Magic Model.”
Wuni still appeared lost; he had never studied anything similar and could not understand the Magic Model.
But why did memories related to this Magic Model surface?
“Do you have plans later?” Richard suddenly asked.
“No.”
“Then come with me to see a Wizard; your soul might need to be checked.”
“Okay.”
…
Though not many master Soul Wizards were at Black Tower Wizard Academy, there were still a few who specialized in the soul.
Thanks to Deputy Dean Eric pulling strings, Richard soon found an aged Second Ring Wizard at the peak of his rank.
“Master, could you see what’s going on with my student?”
In the reception room of the Wizard Tower, Richard brought Wuni beside him, respectfully watching the old Wizard opposite him.
The old Wizard appeared energetically aged, with white hair, a plentiful beard, a ruddy complexion lively with health, and shining eyes.
This old Wizard was among the first graduates of Black Tower Wizard Academy, uniquely skilled in Soul Study among the Wizards there.
“Minor issue.”
The old Wizard stood up, smiling warmly at Wuni behind Richard, “Child, come with me.”
Wuni obediently followed the old Wizard to the laboratory on the second floor.
There, Wuni sat on an iron chair and was fitted with a hemispherical Crystal Hat.
The old Wizard started the machine, and soon, the Crystal Hat emitted a special wave.
Holding a Crystal Ball, the old Wizard quietly watched the data emanating within it; initially, he seemed nonchalant.
But his expression quickly changed.
Ten minutes later, the machine stopped automatically.
The old Wizard asked Wuni to stay and hurriedly left the lab.
In the reception room, Richard was quietly sipping the Magic Tea prepared by the old Wizard; seeing him rush downstairs, he promptly put down his cup to meet him.
“Master, how is it?”
The old Wizard’s expression was somewhat solemn: “This apprentice of yours is no ordinary one; although his soul is fragmented and weak, he possesses the soul strength of a third-level creature.”
Richard nodded, “Master, there is no need for alarm. He is originally a Three Rings Wizard. However, during his research, most of his soul was twisted by rules, leaving only this pure part to survive. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
I initially intended to slay a monster, but instead, inadvertently attacked him.
Later, I took him as my Apprentice after seeing his complete memory loss.
I came today to ask if his memory could be restored, because today he suddenly came up with a Magic Model in his mind.”
The old Wizard, realizing the situation, nodded in understanding.
“That explains it. I can assure you, he will not recover his memory.
The sudden emergence of the Magic Model in his mind is because he has modified his own soul, integrating the information of the Magic Model into his subconscious.
This master must have previously studied anti-meme wonders; such modification can effectively prevent the loss of his own research findings.”
