Wizard: I can refine everything

After arranging the tasks in the laboratory, Richard took a look at the laboratory warehouse.

After millions of years of erosion, even the creations of the Forerunners will inevitably suffer damage. In the past million years, the Jingu Laboratory has experienced several large-scale space storms. When the power furnace is operating at low load, damage is inevitable.

As the lowest protection priority part of the Shrine Laboratory, the warehouse naturally became the most seriously damaged part of the laboratory.

For laboratories, resource materials can be replenished, but if the machinery breaks down, it will be difficult.

Even in the days when the forerunners were still around, a laboratory instrument would take decades or even hundreds of years to manufacture.

However, even so, there are still some remnants in the laboratory's warehouse.

…

The crystal wall turned into tiny cubes and spread out, and a very dilapidated warehouse appeared in front of Richard.

Entering it, the first thing that caught Richard's eyes was a dozen large and small space bubbles.

"Because data was lost when I malfunctioned, I don't know what the items in the laboratory warehouse are. But for safety reasons, please be vigilant. Although the Shengong Laboratory is a second-level laboratory, But many of the research items collected there are enough to cause fatal harm to the Lord of the World.”

Lan's suggestion rang in Richard's ears, but it didn't need to be said that Richard had always been extremely vigilant towards things from the Forerunners.

Without him, the blue flame of the evolutionary illuminator made by him was one of the Forerunners' experiments. But if Richard had not been protected by Ulises at that time, he would have been unable to get hold of the flame.

Arriving in front of a space bubble, Richard prepared a magic barrier. What is placed in this space bubble is a black stone that is the size of a human head and looks ordinary. But before opening it, no one knows whether this thing will cause harm to people.

Under Lan's control, the space bubble was lifted.

The next moment, an extremely strong wave of decaying radiation instantly filled the entire warehouse.

Richard can be sure that if this radiation breaks out in the secret realm, it will be enough to make the entire secret realm completely barren except for the World Mushroom.

That doesn't mean it's dangerous, though.

"It's okay, it's not very dangerous."

After determining the intensity of the decay radiation, Richard breathed a sigh of relief.

Decay radiation may be a natural enemy for other creatures, but for Richard, it is not as good as ordinary energy radiation.

I saw a burst of regular fluctuations coming from Richard's body, and a magic bubble with strong vitality flew out of his hand and wrapped the entire stone.

Under the filtering of the rules of life, the decay radiation emitted by the stone instantly turned into normal energy radiation. Energy radiation is much simpler to deal with.

Richard took out a metal ingot from his pocket and took out an enchanted lead box on the spot. After putting the stone in, Richard turned around and came to the next space bubble.

The items inside this space bubble are very ordinary.

This space is very large, and there are fifty mithril bricks about ten by twenty by five centimeters in it. Judging from the purity, it is estimated to be comparable to the one that Richard refined using the Miracle Furnace.

I looked at several large space bubbles, and the items in them were all rare alchemy materials. These things are excellent materials no matter which race they put them in, so there is no such thing as wizards thinking they are very powerful, but forerunners treating them as rubbish.

A dozen space bubbles were quickly reduced to two. Richard held up the magic barrier and came to a small space bubble the size of a palm.

What was placed in this space bubble was a palm-sized black beetle, but just by feeling, Richard knew that this was definitely an extraordinary creature.

Taking out the Hand of Balance, Lan unlocked the space bubble.

The next moment, a coercion comparable to Richard's immediately erupted from the insect.

In Richard's shocked eyes, the insect actually started to move.

"Does the space bubble still have the effect of stopping time?" Richard asked in shock, otherwise millions of years have passed, and this insect would have died of old age even if it were the Lord of the World.

"Of course not. To stop time requires a special stasis chamber. That thing is very precious."

Richard waved his hand of balance, and in an instant, an earth-yellow spherical force field appeared out of thin air, accurately wrapping the black beetle.

This is the elemental force field in earth elemental witchcraft. Borrowing some of the properties of the earth element, the force field composed of earth elements has a strong hysteresis effect. If the life wrapped in the force field is weak enough, this force field is comparable to the confinement technique.

With the increase of the Hand of Balance, the intensity of this witchcraft has been qualitatively improved. Although the effect of the elemental force field cannot be calculated in terms of energy levels, the equivalent increase of 30,000 energy levels is enough to increase the force field that can only delay the wizard's apprentice to enough to delay the Lord of the World.

In the elemental force field, the black beetle kept struggling. But the strange thing is that this beetle does not have any regular energy fluctuations, nor does it show obvious intelligence.

As if it were a bug.

As a master of physique research, Richard immediately understood the mystery.

"The soul has died, but is the body still alive?"

Richard's tone was filled with wonder. If his inference was true, then he might have found something that even the Physique Crown would covet.

Under normal circumstances, a creature's body and soul are closely connected. If we do not actively break this connection, the body will die along with the soul. This is also the fundamental reason why wizards protect their bodies.

Except for soul wizards and necromancers, few wizards can disconnect instantly.

And this situation can also be reversed. After the soul dies, the body will also die.

But after the research of the great wizard Garlon, he found an extreme case, that is, some lives with too strong vitality may be resurrected after death in some special circumstances.

This resurrection is the resurrection of the body, and the soul of the creature will not be resurrected with it. Therefore, the resurrected creature will be limited by the characteristics of its race, and it will not be able to achieve some of the abilities when it has a soul.

For example, insects cannot think, without the assistance of mental power, it is extremely difficult to mobilize energy, etc. ...

However, this is just an inference. Even if it becomes a physical crown seat, the great wizard Garlon has not found a single example.

Richard took the insect out of the laboratory and immediately called the world mushroom to raise the insect. His sealing technique is not enough to seal this kind of world master-level life.

After sending the insect away, Richard came to the last space bubble.

The thing inside this space bubble is very strange. It is a mass of amorphous black matter that looks like a thick smoke.

After taking precautions, Lan opened the last space bubble.

At the moment of opening, Richard's body suddenly tensed. But the danger he expected did not appear. The black substance stayed in place after the space bubble was opened, as if the space bubble was just a box.

"Master, explore it."

"Yes, Sir Richard."

Soon, Lan's voice sounded in Richard's ears.

"Sir Richard, this cloud of smoke is a super-microscopic group of organisms. For the time being, they pose no threat to you."

"Explain this term."

"Group organisms are a special biological pattern, and one of their tribes can be regarded as an individual. And super-micro means that the individual organisms of this group are very small and have reached the nanometer scale."

"Gestalt organisms, I call this kind of organisms Gestalt organisms."

"Yes, Sir Richard."

Putting away the magic barrier, Richard waved his hand casually, and another earth element force field appeared out of thin air, wrapping up the black smoke. But after the element force field appeared, the black smoke suddenly changed its form. A weak mental fluctuation came out of the smoke.

The meaning of the mental fluctuations seemed to be... begging for mercy?

"Possessing wisdom?"

Richard was startled, and his right hand holding the staff unconsciously exerted force. But soon his expression turned into surprise - wisdom is a good thing!

Richard's mind moved, and a subtle mental fluctuation came from his eyebrows.

"Do you have wisdom?"

"Spare me."

"Can we communicate?"

"Spare me."

"...I didn't eat breakfast this morning."

"Spare me."

After a test, Richard came to a conclusion that made him laugh and cry. This creature has wisdom, but only a little bit.

But this is enough.

Compared to the phaseless creature that only reacts instinctively, this cloud of smoke has completed the transformation from zero to one.

Richard took out a small piece of metal ingot from his pocket, flicked his finger, and the metal ingot fell into the smoke. And the moment the metal ingot fell in, the smoke suddenly rioted.

This Gestalt creature instantly condensed from smoke to solid, wrapping up the entire metal ingot.

Richard checked his watch. One minute later, the Gestalt creature returned to the smoke state, and the metal ingot had disappeared.

The Gestalt creature gave off a cheerful mental wave, and Richard noticed that the creature was a little bigger than before.

Then he fed it some different materials, from stone to wood, and then to the mycelium of the World Mushroom. Except for the mycelium of the World Mushroom, which was particularly slow to devour, the creature devoured other materials very quickly.

It only took ten seconds to devour a fist-sized stone. And it only took less than a second to change to the same volume of wood.

"The devouring efficiency is much better than Wuxiang, and it is not picky about food. But what use are you?"

Richard's mind moved, and a fine wind blade was about to cut off a piece of the corner of the Gestalt creature. But at the moment when the wind blade approached the body, the creature materialized again.

The wind blade chopped on it, leaving a faint mark.

"The strength is not high, and it seems not to be worthy of being a material."

Richard snapped his fingers, and a ball of fire was born under the smoke. Under the burning of the flame, the creature shrank back into substance again. Through his mental power, Richard could clearly see that the smoke was partially consumed by the burning of the flame.

"Well, it's confirmed that it is not worth becoming a material."

Richard was a little disappointed and was about to seal the smoke, but Lan's voice interrupted him.

"Sir Richard, I think you will find some of my observation data useful. When you were feeding it, I noticed that there were fewer free elements in the unit space where the smoke was located. And its volume also increased by 0.001%."

Richard shuddered, "You mean it can devour free elements to replicate itself?"

"It is very likely."

After getting a positive answer, Richard's eyes turned fiery when he looked at the smoke.

The basis of matter is elements, and elements will not disappear out of thin air. If this creature can devour free elements to replicate itself. Then when its number reaches a certain level, won't any elemental attack be directly digested by it?

Richard had a flash of what it would be like if this creature expanded to the size of a tidal wave.

Under this black tide that could devour elements, any legion that stood in its way would be devoured.
