Wizard: I can refine everything

"Crystal Tower!?"

Richard's voice suddenly rose, and a trace of disbelief flashed across his face.

Having dealt with the Forerunners so many times, he knew too well the characteristics of the Forerunners' creations.

That tower was definitely the Forerunners' creation.

He also looked in the direction Ulysses was looking at, but his eyes were almost cracked, and he didn't see any trace of the crystal tower.

The mist over the poisonous swamp was like a curtain, completely blocking the scenery deep in the swamp.

"You don't need to look, you can't see it." Ulysses' eyes returned to normal, and he shook his head at Richard.

"Is it far away?"

"It's not far, but there's something wrong with this layer of fog." Ulysses explained, "This layer of fog should be a product of rules, which can hinder others' exploration.

Even I can only vaguely see a crystal tower with the help of my divine eyes.

I don't know what the specific situation is inside."

Hearing this, Richard's fiery heart suddenly calmed down.

If this layer of fog is the product of some kind of rules, then it is very likely to be one of the defense devices left behind by the forerunners.

This means that they are likely to encounter weapons left behind by the forerunners.

Richard looked into the depths of the swamp, his expression somewhat tangled.

There is no doubt that entering the swamp to explore is a high-risk, but equally high-reward thing.

If he gives up, he is likely to miss a huge treasure, but it is also possible that he has avoided a trap.

No one knows what is in the depths of the swamp.

"Look at how tangled you are." Just as Richard was struggling with his conscience, Ulysses suddenly said, "Are you here for vacation this time?

Aren't you here just to train yourself and collect the forerunner creations?

If you can give up such a large relic in front of you.

Then you don't have to think about becoming a great wizard in the future.

There is no smooth road to becoming stronger. It is impossible to pursue absolute safety and absolute success.

And you are not weak compared to other three-ring wizards. You have my protection, a secret realm as a refuge, and the results of your research for hundreds of years.

I just don't understand, what are you afraid of?"

Ulysses' words were like a revelation, instantly waking Richard from his hesitation.

Yes, he is not weak.

He is now a three-ring wizard, the top wizard among the ordinary wizards.

With his trump card, even if the Lord of the World kills him, he has a chance to escape.

Could the weapons left in the ruins of the forerunners be more terrifying than the Lord of the World? Even if such weapons exist here, why would such weapons fall on Richard?

Richard didn't believe that the forerunners could make the weapons used against the Lord of the World as powerful as the alchemical magic stone cannon, and it didn't matter if they were used casually.

Besides, so many years have passed.

Even if such weapons exist, they should be damaged and destroyed under the power of time.

Otherwise, wizards who enter this world should be attacked by these weapons.

After figuring out everything, Richard felt refreshed, and even his mental power became active.

"You're right, Ulysses. I am indeed a little timid."

Seeing Richard's state, Ulysses nodded with satisfaction.

"That's right. People can be cautious, but they must not be timid. The road to becoming a god is destined to be full of thorns. A timid person will not achieve great things."

"But before entering, I have to make some preparations."

Richard opened the crack in the secret realm and said without looking back:

"This swamp is extremely dangerous. I must be fully prepared."

Ulises was stunned and said with a bit of a smile: "Huh, it has changed but not completely changed."

...

In order to enter the swamp to explore, Richard found the Mechanic Type 1 individual armor originally designed for the Salamander.

This individual armor is a very good auxiliary magic suit for Richard now.

Of course, before exploring, Richard made a second modification to this individual armor.

The first is body adaptation. This individual armor is designed for the Salamander, and its internal space is quite spare for Richard.

The second is the optimization of internal parts.

Now it has been hundreds of years since the design of the Mechanic Type I individual armor. During these hundreds of years, the fire lizard craftsmen have been constantly improving their skills and optimizing the structure of the individual armor.

Today, the design of the Mechanic Type I individual armor has been optimized a lot, and many redundant structures have been streamlined.

Taking this opportunity, Richard can just make a big update.

The alchemy workshop is burning again, and the huge furnace flows out of boiling gold water, turning into alloy parts.

The fire lizard workers stand in front of the forging table, using the dragon alchemy to give these parts the characteristics they need.

In front of the test bench, Richard is also using the wizard alchemy to transform and process the parts inside the armor.

Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the secret realm, a three-meter-tall steel giant stands under the world mushroom, like a sculpture.

Suddenly, a wave of magic power comes out from the body of the steel giant.

Buzz!

Then, the steel giant came to life.

Richard's voice came from the iron giant: "Ulises, we can go to the swamp now."

...

Today's poisonous swamp is still so peaceful.

A space rift opened above the poisonous swamp, and a steel giant walked out of it. On the giant's shoulder, a black crow's eyes were like the sun, staring straight into the depths of the swamp.

"That's right, it's a crystal tower, and it's a damaged crystal tower."

Ulysses closed his eyes, and two bloody tears dripped from the corners of his eyes.

"Which direction to go?"

Richard's voice came from the individual armor, which seemed a little dull.

Ulysses threw out a ball of fire, forming an arrow in the air.

"This direction, go straight."

After getting the direction, Richard fell to the surface of the swamp in armor. Surprisingly, his several-ton metal creation did not sink to the bottom of the water, but was as stable as standing on land.

"Then go forward, you get ready, if there is anything wrong, we will retreat directly."

After that, the steel giant actually walked on the surface of the swamp.

As a unique landform environment in the Green Forest World, the poisonous swamp is home to countless poisonous insects and snakes.

Richard counted hundreds of poisonous insects and more than twenty kinds of poisonous snakes.

The toxins of these poisonous insects and snakes are so strong that even level 3 creatures cannot bear them. It is hard to imagine what kind of enemies the pioneers were fighting against back then, and they made biological weapons like this.

Crack!

A crisp sound suddenly came from Richard's leg armor.

A black pointed poisonous snake as thick as an adult's arm was wrapped around his leg, and half of its sharp fangs were still in its mouth.

Although the venom of these poisonous snakes is strong, it has to enter the body of a living thing to be useful.

In front of the armor pieces refined by the dragon alchemy, the fangs of these poisonous snakes and insects can only scratch the paint at most.

This is the power of the demon spirit! (Laughs)

Richard aimed the flamethrower on his arm at the black snake, and with a "boom", the hot white incandescent flames turned the snake into a ball of charcoal.

At this moment, Richard had come to the depths of the swamp.

The mist that looked very hazy outside the swamp became even thicker here.

Everything around Richard was white, even the sky was covered by thick fog.

From vision, hearing, to mental power, the range that Richard could perceive was only three meters around him. Beyond this range, he could not get any information.

This layer of fog was like a movable cage, imprisoning Richard in it, never seeing the light of day.

On his shoulder, Ulysses' eyes were shining, constantly observing everything around him.

"Stop!" Ulysses shouted.

Richard stopped in response, and soon a low cooing sound came into his ears.

Coo, coo.

A purple-skinned toad the size of a calf passed through the thick fog and entered Richard's perception range.

As Richard went deeper into the poisonous swamp, these purple-skinned toads appeared more and more frequently. He would encounter one almost every time he walked a distance.

And the deeper he went, the higher the level of these toads.

The toad in front of Richard was close to level 2 in terms of life radiation. Each of the pustules on its body contained venom that could kill level 3 creatures in an instant.

If this toad exploded, its power would be many times stronger than the purple-skinned toad Richard had seen before.

Even if Richard had a single-soldier armor for self-defense, he did not dare to act rashly.

He stayed where he was, like a stone, quietly watching the purple-skinned toad swim past him.

Suddenly, a bloody mouth rushed out of the swamp and bit the toad in its mouth.

Richard's body tensed up instantly, and a magic barrier and a layer of dark energy barrier appeared around him instantly.

The fine cold sweat oozing from his back dripped slowly like a trickle.

But the expected explosion did not occur.

The purple-skinned toad was motionless in that big mouth, and the broken poisonous bag flowed out light green venom, which fell on the water surface and instantly turned the surrounding poisonous algae into thick water.

The owner of the bloody mouth emerged from the water. Judging from its size, it was a giant python with black grid stripes.

But Richard knew that this thing was not a python, but just a grown-up venomous snake.

The black snake slowly swallowed the toad into its stomach. The mucus on the toad's body seemed to have no effect on it.

"Interesting, mutual promotion and mutual restraint."

Richard looked at the black snake in surprise. The purple-skinned toad that was rampant in the swamp was actually eaten by such a black snake.

"Ulysses, help me get this thing into the secret realm."

Ulysses looked at the black snake that was digesting the toad, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"It's interesting that it can eat the purple-skinned toad."

After that, Ulysses stretched out his crow claws and grabbed the black snake. Then, before the black snake struggled, a space crack opened next to the black snake.

"Old Mushroom, I've received the goods."

As he said that, the black snake was thrown into the secret realm.

Richard continued to move forward, and soon, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The layer of white fog that blocked his perception disappeared, or in other words, he walked out of the area covered by the white fog.

And about a few kilometers in front of him, a crystal tower full of filthy cracks and covered with moss stood quietly in the depths of the swamp.

And next to it, a purple-skinned toad exuding a terrifying aura lay quietly on the ground.

"This toad..." Richard looked at the purple-skinned toad, his face suddenly became solemn, "...the strength is not right."

Ulises looked at the toad and said slowly: "The pioneers here are not simple.

This toad, like the blue fire lizard I met in the Red Sun World, has broken through the boundaries of the third-level creatures.

They are only one step away from the last leap of the soul to become the master of the world."
