Chapter 1417 Lords and Alchemists
"By the way, during the comprehensive upgrade, I also gained two extremely important gains!"
Lei Xiao just turned his palm up, and two extremely delicate small scrolls emerged.
This scroll is smaller than ordinary magic scrolls and skill scrolls, but it also emits a non-negligible energy fluctuation. It is exactly the formula of two fifth-level magic potions that can permanently enhance strength!
"I upgraded these two fifth-tier potion formulas from fourth-tier formulas. One was obtained from the Dragonborn, and the other was obtained from the spoils of the Lord's Arena. They focus on physical and magical warriors respectively, which perfectly make up for our shortcoming of not being able to produce fifth-tier potions that permanently increase strength."
"As long as I can successfully produce this kind of magic potion, and then after upgrading my talent, I will undoubtedly have the ability to steadily advance to the sixth-level powerhouse and a large number of fifth-level powerhouses. This is an epic improvement!"
Thinking of this in his heart, a look of joy suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
As for who to give the potion formula to, it would naturally be the old alchemy president Jonil, and he also had all the rare materials and treasures needed for the two potions, and more than one.
"Right now, Joniel is presiding over the work in Alchemy City, so I might as well go there in person to see the current situation of Alchemy City."
Having made up his mind, Lei Xiao immediately contacted Shuang, who had been on standby in Bingshi City, and ordered him to keep Bingshi City at the gate of the royal capital.
After everything was arranged, Lei Xiao was just about to take a step forward when Ariel, who came to greet him, bit her red lips and asked softly, "Lord, you have been busy all day. Are you going out again now?"
"Sorry, I just remembered something important."
Lei Xiao looked at the other person's fair face which was full of concern and worry, even mixed with a hint of loneliness, and said with a smile: "May I ask if Your Majesty the Queen would be willing to honor me by accompanying me on the trip?"
"I do, of course I do!"
A brilliant and satisfied smile immediately bloomed on Ariel's delicate face. Her slender body swayed slightly, and she had changed from the queen's luxurious attire into a set of easy-to-move red casual clothes.
The stars were shining brightly. Carrying Ariel, Lei Xiao flew out of the royal capital and soon walked into the Ice Stone City that was waiting at the city gate.
Accompanied by a flash of blue light, when the thick gate of Ice Stone City opened again, a brand new city appeared in front of Lei Xiao and Ariel. It was the Royal Thunder City, the main city among the three alchemy cities.
As for why it is called this name, it naturally symbolizes that Lei Xiao, who is the emperor of the human race and is good at using thunder magic, is the founder of this place.
"Your Majesty (Lord)!"
At the gate of Ice Stone City, top human alchemists including Joniel, the Three Sages of Alchemy, Gars, Xueya, Fasha, several talented lords, as well as a group of dwarfs, wood elves, flower elves, dragonborn, trolls, minotaurs and other alchemists who came to the human territory to communicate all saluted with their chests and looked respectful.
Afterwards, everyone saluted Ariel by touching their chests. After all, although Ariel was only the queen of a country, she obviously had a close relationship with Lei Xiao. Even the alchemists from foreign lands had already known this information.
"No need to be polite, I just came here on a whim to take a look."
Lei Xiao smiled and nodded, then walked towards the city under the guidance of Joniel.
As for Ariel, she just kept holding Lei Xiao's arm, looking like a little bird.
When he arrived at the city gate, Lei Xiao noticed that in addition to some soldiers from the Shanglu family, there were also many fully armed alchemical puppets guarding the city, all of which looked very orderly.
It is worth mentioning that Lei Xiao did not see the operator of the alchemical puppet, but it did not affect the actions of these special guards, who even saluted him respectfully.
"Your Majesty, after you handed over the ancient dwarf alchemical puppet army to His Majesty, His Majesty immediately sent out the most advanced alchemist minister to study the various modules of these ancient alchemical puppets with us."
An old voice sounded, and Jonil nodded to Lei Xiao and introduced: "With the participation of the Lord's scientists, it was quickly cracked, and improvements and trial runs were made on it, and these alchemical puppet guards are part of the trial run."
"So that's how it is. It looks like we will soon be able to have an army of intelligent alchemical puppets like the ancient dwarves. This will undoubtedly save a lot of human resources for controlling alchemical puppets, and will also play an irreplaceable role in many special battlefield environments."
Lei Xiao looked at the alchemy puppets that were neatly saluting him at the city gate, nodded to the alchemists with satisfaction and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. This is all thanks to your Majesty for the support of the entire human race and the provision of unparalleled resources."
Joniel's wrinkled face was filled with excitement, and he danced with joy as he said, "It is no exaggeration to say that in such a short period of time, the alchemy technology of the human race has reached a whole new level. If it were before, even if the descendants of the old ministers and others worked hard for another three thousand years, they would not be able to reach the current achievements at all!"
After Joniel finished speaking, the other alchemists all nodded excitedly.
Among them, not only the human race, but also the alchemists from various foreign races, all cast irrepressible looks of admiration towards Lei Xiao.
After all, in the process of comprehensive upgrade, Lei Xiao also upgraded a large number of potion formulas and potions, which raised the alchemy technology of our various forces by at least one level!
For any alchemist, this is undoubtedly the highest dream and honor, and it is also witnessing a great historical process with one's own eyes!
Among the excited crowd, the dwarf alchemists were particularly excited and kept nodding their heads.
It goes without saying that His Majesty the Human Race had done them a great favor by helping them return to the surface after hundreds of years of darkness and finding His Majesty the Prince who had lost his long-lost throne. The fact that His Majesty the Human Race generously handed over the ancient dwarf elves' alchemical puppet army back to them was enough for them to erect a monument to His Majesty the Human Race!
You know, finding the alchemical products of the ancient dwarf elves, or even regaining the lost alchemy of the ancient dwarf elves, is the ultimate dream of all dwarf alchemists. And with a wave of the hand of His Majesty the Human Race, these are gradually becoming a reality!
Seeing this scene, Ariel was also very excited, with a very high-spirited look on her face.
Your Lordship is undoubtedly the first person in human history since the Blank Era to be respected by so many powerful outsiders.
“This is just the beginning.”
Feeling the joy and excitement of the alchemists, Lei Xiao smiled and said, "I believe that with your efforts, our alchemical achievements will eventually attract worldwide attention."
While Lei Xiao casually encouraged everyone, he continued to walk towards the city under the guidance of Joniel.
At this time, although it was late at night, the city streets were still bustling with people.
Thousands of alchemists were gathered in groups of three or five, enthusiastically exchanging alchemical experiences, and the atmosphere was full of academic excitement.
Seeing Lei Xiao's figure, the alchemists who were in the shops and restaurants or in the square all saluted respectfully, making the whole city quiet in an instant.
"Yes, the lowest strength has reached the third level, and there are quite a few at the fourth level."
Lei Xiao nodded calmly in return and said to Joniel in approval, "You know, before this, a fourth-level alchemist alone was enough for a royal family to treat him with courtesy."
"This is all thanks to your Majesty's full support, who reserved a considerable amount of opportunities for us to improve our strength. Otherwise, how could the alchemists be reborn and reach such unprecedented heights!"
Joniel became more and more excited as he spoke, and said excitedly: "This is something that the old ministers and others have never dared to think about before!"
After Joniel finished speaking, the Three Sages of Alchemy and other high-ranking members of the Alchemy Guild all nodded with the same expression. When they looked at Lei Xiao, they looked at him with reverence, as if they were looking at a god.
"Alchemy, like forging and magical crafts, is the foundation of the human race. Naturally, I will focus on it. This is all reasonable."
Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile and nodded slightly.
Just as Joniel said, although he had invested almost all the potions obtained from the comprehensive upgrades and spoils on the human race's strongmen and soldiers, he had also found time to upgrade the alchemists' output many times during this period of time, and almost all of it was redistributed to the alchemists, so it was not surprising that this situation occurred.
Just as he had planned from the beginning, only when the alchemists became stronger, the output of alchemical puppets and magic potions would naturally increase.
"Your Majesty, after this communication area, we will reach the training area, research area, and management area, and finally the alchemy area. The alchemy area itself is also the residence of the alchemists. It has perfect soundproofing measures to ensure that they will not be disturbed during alchemy."
Jonil introduced the area distribution of the city to Lei Xiao in detail, and the group soon arrived at the management area in the city center.
It was not a castle, but a series of houses. There were areas for the lords and some alchemists to study alchemical modules and alchemical puppets, as well as many warehouses, and residences for managers such as Joniel and alchemists from other foreign domains.
Not only that, there is even a lord's mansion here for the rapid deployment of supplies, forming part of the lord's network.
"Your Majesty, in addition to this, the top-grade alchemical instruments you distributed in batches also played a crucial role, greatly promoting the production of magic potions. Even our fellow alchemists from the outer realms are full of praise for them!"
Joniel continued to introduce himself, and the other foreign alchemists nodded in agreement, asking to receive Lei Xiao's gift as well.
This was not a compliment, because the alchemical equipment made by Lei Xiao in the lord's mansion had indeed reached an extremely impressive level, enough to rival the top level of any third-rate force in the outside world.
"Okay, I'll make some more later, not only for each of you, but also for the alchemists in your hometown."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and immediately told everyone to do their respective duties, leaving only a few human alchemists such as Joniel by his side.
After everyone left, Lei Xiao took out two fifth-level potion formulas and handed them to Joniel's old hand.
"Your Majesty, what is this?!"
Feeling the unusually heavy weight of the small scroll, Joniel couldn't help but open his eyes wide again, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
By sensing the scroll, he has learned the contents, which are two potion formulas that can permanently enhance strength and are only mastered by the first-rate forces in the outer realm!
"Here, old president. From today on, you will lead all the alchemists to concentrate on alchemy. Unless there are special circumstances, I will not assign you any other tasks."
Lei Xiao nodded to Joniel and said with a smile: "Old President, the future of human alchemy is in your hands. You must produce these two potions as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty has placed such high hopes on you, and I, as an old minister, will devote myself to your service until my death!"
Joniel's hands couldn't stop shaking and he knelt down in front of Lei Xiao again.
You know, even in the outside world, this is an extremely precious thing. Being able to master and refine such a precious thing is undoubtedly the lifelong dream of every alchemist!
"Old President, please stand up quickly. There will be more and more of these things in the future, and I will not stop there."
Lei Xiao helped Joniel's old body up, then looked at the others and said, "I believe it won't take long for everyone present to master the formula of such a precious potion."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, everyone was very excited and cheered.
Lei Xiao also gave the necessary treasures to Joniel and told him to use them.
As for the ownership of the two precious formulas, one belongs to Joniel, and the other naturally belongs to the Three Sages of Alchemy.
Through his understanding during this period, Lei Xiao has learned that the Three Sages of Alchemy are actually three brothers with special bloodline abilities. To a considerable extent, they can be of one mind and one body in alchemy, and can even read different parts of the same formula at the same time, and then work together to complete the alchemy.
Therefore, under the premise of the three working together, his alchemical ability may still be inferior to that of Jonel, but he is still the second in command among the human race.
The time it took Joniel and the three alchemist sages to make the alchemy potion was about a week, which was the same as what Lei Xiao had learned before. Although the speed was a bit slower, it was still a huge improvement from zero to one.
After everything was arranged properly, Lei Xiao told everyone not to see him off, and he quietly left the city with Ariel and headed back towards Ice Stone City.
But just as Lei Xiao and the other two were about to enter the city gate, a hurried voice suddenly rang in their ears. (End of this chapter)
