Wizard: I Can Refine Everything

The old Fire Lizard finished cleaning up, finally arranging all the materials. After organizing everything, he picked up a Black Gold Scimitar from the ground and calmly looked at Richard.

"Wizard, I didn't interfere with the research of others, but all the things I've been busy with over the years are here."

Richard placed the materials into the Magic Pocket, silently giving the old Fire Lizard a Wizard's Salute.

The transfer of knowledge is always worthy of respect.

Then Richard, somewhat conflicted, spoke:

"Fire Lizard, don't rush to die. I think you are very valuable. Would you be interested in working for me for a while? We could sign a fair employment contract…"

"Wizard, are you insulting me?" the old Fire Lizard interrupted loudly, "You destroyed my country, enslaved my people. I may be a bastard, but I'm not that much of a bastard."

With that, the old Fire Lizard swung his scimitar, the sharp blade of the Dragon Beast Knight effortlessly severing his neck.

Richard watched this scene, a heavy sigh stuck in his chest for a long time before he finally exhaled it.

Then Richard came to the core area of the cultivation base, but upon seeing the core area, he was stunned.

The entire core area was occupied by several huge pits; almost all of the Dragon Beast breeding machines were destroyed.

Booming noise!

Richard suddenly looked up at the sky, where he noticed that the huge Energy Dome above the base had become very weak compared to when he had last visited.

The noise he had just heard was the movement of the upper layer of magma.

If some more time passed, this Energy Dome would probably disappear.

At that time, tens of millions of tons of magma would submerge the entire Dragon Beast Cultivation Base, erasing the last bit of its value.

Richard shook his head: "These Fire Lizards did a thorough job."

Richard then quickened his searching pace, and in a matter of minutes, he had inspected the entire core area along with the third layer.

Eventually, on the third layer, Richard found half of a breeding machine blown away by the explosion's aftermath.

Most parts of the machine were damaged, but Richard still found something usable within it.

[Material: Giant Dragon Alchemy Chip]

[Refinable Information: Half-Elemental Creature Flesh Transformation Technology]

[Extraction Consumption: 20 Spiritual Power]

Looking at the palm-sized metal plate covered with golden patterns in his hand, Richard's eyes flashed with surprise.

He hadn't expected such an important component to have survived intact.

Without hesitation, Richard chose to extract and quickly acquired this technology left by the Pioneers.

The function of this technology was simple, to transform the flesh of half-elemental creatures like Flame Giant Beasts into a special kind of half-elemental Firestar Flesh.

Wizards had the technology to transform the flesh of half-elemental creatures into active flesh, but Richard had never heard of this kind of half-elemental active flesh before. According to the technology's description, a thousand kilograms of first-level half-elemental creature's flesh could be turned into ten grams of half-elemental active flesh.

Although he did not know the activity level of this half-elemental active flesh, even the lowest-level first-level active flesh was far superior to Jolod's technology.

In Richard's perspective, the flesh of half-elemental creatures was among the worst materials for producing active flesh, as the Elemental Bloodline it contained polluted the flesh. To make it into active flesh, great efforts must be made to remove the Elemental Bloodline.

Jolod's technology could only produce one gram of normal active flesh from a thousand kilograms of half-elemental creature flesh.

After storing the Giant Dragon Alchemy Chip, Richard immediately flew out of the base. On his way, he casually took a considerable number of Flame Giant Beast corpses from the outer ring warehouse.

As for the Energy Dome in the sky, Richard had no intention whatsoever of investigating it.

The Fire Lizards couldn't destroy it, and it was likely a legacy of the Pioneers, something he couldn't take even if he went up. Moreover, the technology of the Energy Dome looked very complex; if he went up and found out he couldn't refine it, he would be utterly frustrated.

Soon, Richard walked out from the entrance he had used to enter the base. As he stepped out, thunderous noise followed him through the passage.

The Energy Dome disappeared and tens of millions of tons of magma crashed into the Dragon Beast Cultivation Base, completely burying this once treasure of the Linksa Empire.

Richard looked back at the entrance where faint firelight was visible and felt somewhat relieved:

"Good thing I didn't try to study that Energy Dome. If I had, I probably wouldn't have made it back."

Below the World Master, no one could withstand the impact of tens of millions of tons of magma, not even a Wizard.

In the distance, Luxor had already been conquered; the White Wizard Army began skillfully scavenging spoils of war within the city.

Alchemy creations? Take them! Fire Element Gems? Take them! Flame Artifacts? Definitely take those!

The Wizards laughed as they looted from room to room, marking the civilian Fire Lizards with Slave Marks using the Slave Seals.

As Balashar had said, Fire Lizards indeed were wealth for the Wizards; each Fire Lizard slave could be exchanged for varying amounts of Magic Stones from the Great Wizard.

To kill a Fire Lizard was to destroy wealth.

Unfortunately, Balashar's idea was a bit too extreme, even he himself just talked about it more than he practiced it. The Dragon Beast Knights he once commanded wouldn't act in this way. These elite troops of the former Linksa Empire, under the command of their leader, had now dispersed into small teams, hiding in various deep mountains and forests.

"They still believe that everything will get better as soon as Morick, the Fire Lizard King, returns."

Looking at the distant Luxor City, Richard chose not to go in and scavenge for spoils.

His gains had already been significant, and it didn't seem worthwhile to plunder those minor benefits.

Moreover, the tragic state of the Dragon Beast Cultivation Base had indeed struck a chord in his heart, and he needed to find a place to calm his emotions.

Opening the Secret Realm Rift, Richard entered it, ready to study the materials organized by the old fire lizard.

Shortly after he entered the Secret Realm, two figures arrived beside the cultivation base.

These two figures, one as robust as a stone giant, the other shrouded in fierce flames resembling a fire elf.

These were the two Three Rings Wizards who had previously attacked the Dragon Beast Cultivation Base and escaped.

Sensing the magma continually surging up in the passage, Mephit, somewhat regretfully, said:

"We are still too late."

The Dragon Beast Cultivation Base had already been completely annihilated by a massive amount of magma.

In contrast to his calmness, the nearby flame wizard was highly volatile.

"Those damn natives, do they not realize what they have destroyed? That was the knowledge of the Lost One!"

The Flame Wizard roared furiously, his flames leaping violently with his roar.

"The thing is already destroyed, being volatile won't bring it back."

Mephit glanced at the volcano and then flew towards Luxor City.

Since the last time the Holy Guard nearly killed him, Mephit realized there was something wrong with his mindset.

As his power grew, his attitude had also become somewhat arrogant, which was bad for a wizard.

Because of this, he had been cultivating his temperament lately.

Had it been before, he might have been furious at the destruction of the Dragon Beast Cultivation Base, but now, he could only lament his bad luck, even somewhat relieved.

If the base hadn't been destroyed, he definitely would have gone in. What if he encountered the Holy Guard that he had met before?

The Black Wizard must restrain his greed.

The Flame Wizard watched Mephit's departing figure and, somewhat angrily, threw a few fireballs at the mountain wall. But then he also turned direction and headed towards Luxor.

The Dragon Beast Cultivation Base was already destroyed; venting was meaningless. It might be better to plunder some spoils in Luxor.

But what both Three Rings Wizards couldn't have expected was that, before them, a Second Ring Wizard had already taken a tour of the Dragon Beast Cultivation Base.

...

Inside the Secret Realm, Richard took out the documentation, which was taller than two people when stacked, from his pocket and began to understand what a Dragon Beast really was.

According to the document, Dragon Beasts are also a type of Synthetic Beast, only far more stable than most Synthetic Beasts created by wizards. Except for their inability to reproduce, they were almost indistinguishable from normal creatures.

A typical Dragon Beast's lifespan ranged from one hundred to two hundred years, and its physique should be between 150 and 200, occasionally breeding those within the three-level creatures' range.

According to records left by the old fire lizards, in ancient times, they were able to mass-produce third-level Dragon Beasts. But later, these technologies were lost for various reasons; ancient documents, because they contained a lot of Dragon Language, remain undecipherable until now... So those fire lizards just burned those documents.

When Richard read this, he was so angry he almost got a toothache.

Such a waste of heavenly gifts!

Knowledge of Dragon Language wasn't difficult to obtain among wizards; even if there were differences between languages, he had the Miracle Furnace to directly refine the information.

Continuing to read, the fire lizards used many techniques to cultivate Dragon Beasts, each recipe producing Dragon Beasts with different characteristics.

Like the current Dragon Beast Knights' mounts, they used a very balanced type of Dragon Beast, its speed, strength, endurance, and even intelligence, none outstanding, but all above average.

And the old fire lizard had been researching a new type of Dragon Beast craft, his type, with outstanding speed and endurance, and strength above average, only lacking in intelligence, requiring long-term taming before it could be used as a mount.

Moreover, this type of Dragon Beast also had relatively low defense, even ordinary Fire Lizard Warriors could easily break through.

"Hmm, the strengths and weaknesses are quite apparent."

Richard looked at the documents in his hands; his gaze involuntarily shifted towards a hunting dog in the Secret Realm, playing with Holy Tree Elves.

"Intelligence is not a problem, just takes some time to work on, or else soul witchcraft can help with that. As for defense... perhaps a secondary modification on the Dragon Beasts, accompanied by these armored plates, would work. But the issue is whose hands to use them in."

Richard stroked his chin, shifting his gaze to the final section of the document.

According to the document, making a Dragon Beast required the blood of a Fire Lizard, and the Dragon Beast would naturally bond with the Fire Lizard that provided the blood. When fighting side by side, there might even be a mental union, achieving Man and Horse Unity.

Reading this passage, Richard suddenly remembered the Dragonification Potion he had acquired before.

One of the ingredients of this potion was the fresh blood of a Fire Lizard.

Richard murmured, "It seems the heavens haven't abandoned you, Fire Lizards."
