Wizard: I can refine everything

"Emergency recruitment..."

Richard frowned as he listened to the message coming from the crystal ball.

Emergency recruitment is not a privilege that can be used by just any cat or dog.

Among the dark wizards who have infiltrated into the insect nest, only dozens of third-ring wizards are eligible for emergency recruitment. Third-ring wizards with emergency recruitment authority can recruit all first- and second-level black wizards in their area. The wizard uses it for himself, which is equivalent to having the power of the headquarters.

Of course, with such great power, the command center will definitely not allow three-ring wizards to abuse it. After using emergency recruitment, the three-ring wizards must write a report to the command center stating the reasons and motivations.

If the reason and motivation are deemed unqualified by the command, the three-ring wizard will accept punishment. There is no upper limit to this punishment, ranging from fines to execution.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, few three-ring wizards will use this emergency recruitment power. Once it is used, it means that the three-ring wizards think this matter is extremely important, or the situation has developed to an uncontrollable point, and multiple black wizards must be mobilized. It takes wizards to collaborate to get it done.

But whatever the reason, an emergency call-up is never a good sign.

After the urgent call-up was announced, something like an arrow appeared in the crystal ball.

This arrow will always point to the crystal ball location where the emergency call was issued.

Richard took out the microwave developing crystal ball from his magic pocket and revealed the map that he and Ulises had explored.

Following the arrow's instructions, Richard's finger slid down the map until he stopped at a small settlement.

That small settlement is connected to multiple tunnels and can be regarded as a small transportation hub. If you want to gather wizards, this location in the direction pointed by the arrow is obviously the most suitable place.

"Ulises, how is your injury?" Richard turned around and asked.

"Gah, it's already a second-level creature. It's just that this body doesn't match. I'll have to change it when I get out."

As he spoke, a wave of energy erupted from Ulisses' body, making Richard's face turn pale instantly.

"Stop, are you an idiot? We are in an insect nest!"

Ulises suppressed the energy fluctuations and laughed: "Quack, don't be nervous, just a little joke."

Ulises' normal level two is undoubtedly a huge help to Richard. He prevents Richard from escaping first when facing level two bugs.

And after the emergency recruitment, there will definitely be a fierce battle. If Ulises is stronger, he can be taken out of danger.

…

According to the map, Richard and Ulises headed in the direction of the arrow.

On the road, Richard could clearly feel the density of bugs.

A large number of warrior bugs and sacrificial bugs patrolled the tunnels. This level of security far exceeded any settlement that Richard had seen in the past few years.

It seemed like something big was going to happen in the unexplored space of Richard.

After three days of traveling, Richard arrived at the place he identified on the map.

In the tunnel, Richard silently observed the entire settlement.

This small settlement looks no different from an ordinary black crystal bug colony. The plant bugs are busy among the fungi, and the warrior bugs and spider knights are either patrolling or resting. It looks extremely natural.

But for Richard, who knew bugs very well, all the bugs in this settlement were very unnatural.

Richard opened his energy vision. In Richard's energy vision, the entire settlement instantly changed its appearance.

Each of the busy patrolling bugs was connected to a varying number of thin energy threads, like puppets on strings, which was creepy.

Those thin lines extended into the sky, and finally converged into a thin line, connected to a fungus in the center of the settlement.

If nothing else, the fungus is the location of the three-ring wizard who issued an emergency call.

"You can actually make the entire settlement into a puppet, and you can also disguise it so vividly. This master is not simple."

Next to Richard, Ulises said with some disdain:

"Isn't it just to control hundreds of bugs? We have a black spider that can control millions of bugs at one time. The bugs also cooperate with each other. It can beat a god known as the God of War to pieces. That's called sharp."

Richard glanced at Ulises: "You can compare demigods and gods."

Coming out of the tunnel, Richard walked carelessly towards the fungus room in the center of the settlement. On the road, all the bugs turned a blind eye to him, as if he was not a wizard but an ordinary bug when he walked past.

Walking to the fungus room, Richard knocked politely on the door.

Boom, boom, boom.

The door opened, and a black-robed wizard sat in the center of the room. The black-robed wizard looked like a doll, with eight spider-leg-like joints behind him. After opening the door, the black-robed wizard's head mechanically turned to Richard, and his voice said mechanically:

"It's interesting. A first-level wizard can actually see through my puppet witchcraft. Have my skills deteriorated?"

Richard lowered his head slightly: "Master, I have received an emergency recruitment order and come to report."

Thump thump thump…

Suddenly, the spider legs of the black-robed wizard suddenly moved, and he came to Richard almost instantly. Then the spider legs bent slightly, and the black-robed wizard's body hung down, his face facing Richard.

"How did you see through my witchcraft?"

Looking at the puppet-like face in front of him, Richard was very calm.

"The master's skills are so perfect that ordinary people can't tell that those bugs are puppets. But after all, the master missed something..."

"What did I miss?"

"The range of movement of these bugs is almost the same. If they are first-level bugs, it is fine, but the same is true for ordinary planting bugs. This is very doubtful."

The puppet wizard paused after hearing this, and then nodded: "I see, this is indeed an oversight on my part."

Having said that, a trace of magic power rippled from the puppet wizard's body, and the insects outside showed a slight change in their movements.

"You are the first one to arrive. Find a room to stay in first."

Richard found a pleasant fungus house in the fungus forest and entered it, then took out an insect egg and studied it.

In such a crude place, Richard really didn't feel comfortable studying the Forerunner's crystal fragments.

…

A week passed quickly, and dark wizards from all over the hive came to this small settlement one after another. If the bugs attacked at this time, the entire hive would no longer have to worry about the black wizards.

In the crowd, Li found two of his friends.

"Richard, it seems that you gained a lot in the insect nest."

Lawrence smiled and greeted Richard. As an old wizard, he could see the improvement in Richard's strength as soon as they met.

Richard's physique and the fluctuations of magic power he inadvertently emitted were very different from before. If it weren't for the same face and the same crow on his shoulders, Lawrence would have thought he had recognized the wrong person.

"There were some opportunities, but I almost lost my life." Richard smiled.

Lawrence is still the same as before. As an ultimate level one wizard, the part he can improve is very small. Unless he can obtain a treasure like soul essence like Richard, his strength will not change much.

Compared with Lawrence and Richard, Ellie's situation is a bit miserable.

She has neither Richard's plug-in nor Lawrence's strength and experience. In this insect nest, she relies solely on the experience gained from hunting bugs in the insect nest a few years ago to survive in the insect nest.

When she arrived at the settlement, her wizard robe was in tatters and she was missing an arm.

"Hey, Richard!" Ellie forced a smile on her face.

This was the first time she smiled since her arm was chopped off by a samurai bug.

Seeing her like this, Richard frowned. He took out some active flesh and blood from his pocket, and under the control of the flesh and blood, the active flesh and blood instantly turned into a tentacle.

"Ellie, come here."

Ellie walked up to Richard and glanced at the flesh and blood tentacle with some curiosity.

Richard opened Ellie's wizard robe and took out the scalpel from the magic pocket.

"It's going to be a little painful. I didn't bring an anesthetic. Please bear with it."

After saying that, Richard cut open the broken part of Ellie's arm with a knife, and hot blood gushes out instantly. Richard connected the flesh and blood tentacle, and under the action of activated flesh and blood, the wound instantly stopped bleeding.

"Hiss!" Ellie grinned in pain.

"Use magic to control this tentacle. I don't have much materials on hand right now and can't make bones. You can make do with the tentacle first."

Ellie smiled at Richard: "It's okay. In fact, I'm almost used to living with one hand."

The muscle structure of this tentacle is the muscle structure of the flesh and blood tentacle that Richard imitated. This muscle structure is very excellent, both in terms of explosive power and endurance, it is first-class and worthy of the law of flesh and blood that once existed in it.

After getting familiar with it, Ellie skillfully wrapped the staff with her tentacles, as if she had gotten a new toy.

"Richard, why are your tentacles so much better than your hands?"

As the number of wizards in the settlement increased, the wizards who received the recruitment orders finally arrived.

In the settlement, the puppet wizard walked out of the room and announced to the packed village the purpose of this emergency recruitment.

"Everyone, during this period, due to the change of strategy of the Sombra Insect, nearly 500 of our compatriots lurking in the insect nest were captured.

I learned through intelligence that these people were not executed immediately after being captured. Instead, they were secretly pressed to the Mother Temple inside the insect nest.

The bugs perform a grand sacrificial ceremony to boost morale, and our fellow wizards are those sacrifices.

So I need you all to go with me to the Mother Temple to save those wizards. "

The puppet wizard's words were simple commands, and their purpose was reasonable.

There are nearly a thousand black wizards, which is close to one-tenth of the black wizards infiltrated in the entire Black Mushroom Insect Kingdom.

If this group of people can be rescued, it will undoubtedly be a huge gain for the wizard.

The number of wizards is too limited compared to the insects. It is a good thing if one less person dies.

But after hearing the mission, Lawrence suddenly communicated mentally with Richard:

"Richard, something is wrong this time."

"Huh?" Richard's face changed slightly, "What's wrong?"

"I know this puppet wizard, his name is Declan, and he is quite famous among the free wizards. This guy is famous for being unprofitable and unable to get up early, and he can do everything with puppets without using his real body. He is very scared. die.

I don't believe that this kind of person would use an emergency call-up order to save people. "
