Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 312 - 30 Ransom

That layer of Armor that could resist six thousand Energy Levels was enough to make any Shaping Wizard without enough knowledge despair.

Moreover, in Makar’s description, this wizard was very disdainful toward them.

This only increased his chances of failure.

“Then you should have let me know,” Richard complained.

This made Makar even more innocent.

“Master, I did notify you twice. Both times you gave the same response, without even changing your tone. How can it be that I didn’t notify you?”

Upon hearing Makar’s words, Richard suddenly realized.

This guy had mistaken his recorded message for his actual response.

Richard chuckled wryly, “That was a recording; I didn’t even know you knocked on the door.

Sigh, never mind. This was my fault. Next time I will give you guys an additional option.”

Having said that, Richard approached Kayang.

“Come over and take a good look, this Wizard Kayang is not our enemy. Don’t make this mistake again next time.”

After finishing speaking, Richard lightly flicked his fingers, and the Sealing Demon Nails began flying out from Kayang’s body.

After losing the Sealing Demon Nails, a violent Magic Fluctuation immediately emerged from Kayang’s body. The bloody holes left by the nails burst open with flowing blood…

Upon seeing this scene, Richard hastily called out,

“Makar, bring Master Kayang some roast meat. Look at the mess you’ve made, Master Kayang is injured so badly.”

Kayang cast a healing spell on himself, then weakly climbed up from the ground and gave Richard a Wizard’s Salute.

“Master, you needn’t do this. If it weren’t for your help this time, I would probably already be dead.”

Richard discreetly stepped back a few paces, distancing himself from the reputedly unlucky man.

“It was a simple effort, not worth mentioning.”

Noticing Richard’s action, Kayang smiled awkwardly: “Haha, Master, don’t be nervous. According to my years of experience, every time I suffer a great disaster, my rotten luck returns to normal for a while.

During this period, neither I nor the people around me will be unlucky.”

Richard was somewhat skeptical, but out of caution, he still didn’t get any closer to Kayang.

Makar brought a large chunk of roast meat to Kayang’s side. Although Kayang looked somewhat distressed, his hands did not resist.

He indeed needed something to repair his damaged body.

After dealing with Kayang’s situation, Richard then approached Lai Kete.

But this time, Richard didn’t remove the Sealing Demon Nails; he merely removed the stone in Lai Kete’s mouth.

“I wonder how the Master would like to be addressed? I remember our families don’t have any deep hatred, and we didn’t target your Core Wizard Tower, so why did you come after us?”

Upon hearing this, Lai Kete instantly became furious.

“You have the nerve to say that! Using third-level creatures as slaves and equipping them with such good Magic Equipment.

Is that what you call having no deep hatred?”

Richard, with an unchanged expression and an even tone, said, “I think you may be mistaken about something, Master.

These four Fire Lizards are my personal property, not borrowed or sold to me at a low price by other wizards.

I’m using them, and that’s within the rules.”

Upon hearing this, Lai Kete sneered: “You have the cheek to spout such nonsense! Who do you think you are?

On the market, a single third-level creature is worth fifty thousand Magic Essence. You have four in your possession, that’s two hundred thousand Magic Essence.

You, a Second Ring Wizard, tell me, how did you get this two hundred thousand Magic Essence?

Or are you going to tell me that these Aliens were tamed by you, and you didn’t spend a penny!”

Richard’s expression didn’t change, and he even wore a strange smile on his lips.

“Master is truly worthy of being a Three Rings Wizard. Your insight is indeed profound, guessing immediately that I tamed these Fire Lizards myself.”

Hearing Richard’s words, Lai Kete was somewhat dumbfounded.

He was shocked that there could be such a shamelessly boastful person in the world.

For a Second Ring Wizard to tame four third-level Fire Lizards was such ludicrous talk it wouldn’t even be uttered by drunken men in a tavern.

Seeing Lai Kete’s disbelief, Richard added,

“Of course, if the Master doesn’t believe me, I can also say I bought them. After all, two hundred thousand Magic Essence is not beyond my means.”

Now Lai Kete was even more shocked.

How could there be such wizards? One boast wasn’t enough; he had to add another layer just to satisfy himself?

Seeing he still didn’t believe him, Richard shifted the topic, asking a seemingly unrelated question.

“Does the Master have friends in the White Wizard Army?”

Lai Kete was a bit puzzled by the question.

“Yes, what about it?”

Richard nodded, “Then surely, the Master must have heard the name, ‘Magic Support Vehicle.'”

Lai Kete nodded again.

“I’ve heard of it.”

Seeing Lai Kete’s reaction, a smug smile couldn’t help but curl at the corners of Richard’s mouth.

“Then, Master must surely know that the Magic Support Vehicle is very popular among the White Wizard Army, and all the White Wizard Army orders are coming in, right?”

Lai Kete began to catch on:

“What are you trying to say? Are you telling me that this contraption is your work? Are you that Richard from Richard Jolod’s Commerce?”

Richard nodded with satisfaction.

“The Master’s wisdom is indeed as vast as a sea of smoke, having guessed correctly.”

On the side, Kayang stopped in his tracks with the roasted meat when he heard this.

Holy shit, is my luck turning? Not only did my crisis get resolved, but I also ran into such a big shot.

His alchemy skills were pretty decent, too.

Lai Kete looked at Richard with a sneer, wanting to see how long Richard planned to fool him.

But as time ticked by second by second, Richard never declared it was a joke.

Lai Kete’s face stiffened a bit. After all, Richard was a guild president, why would he be sent on such a dangerous…

His gaze suddenly shifted to the aliens eating meat voraciously beside him.

With these few creatures, the mission wasn’t really dangerous.

But he still found it hard to believe.

“You say it’s yours, but do you have any evidence?”

Richard didn’t say much, just pulled out a black scroll from his pocket and unfolded it in front of Lai Kete.

This was the Commerce Scroll given to Richard by Jolod back in the day, and for all these years, this was the first time it had come in handy.

Seeing the Tower of Truth’s Magic Seal on the scroll, Lai Kete had no choice but to believe.

In the Wizard World, no one dared to forge the Magic Seal of the Tower of Truth.

Fuck, the only Second Ring Wizard in this war who posed a huge threat to a Three Rings Wizard, and he ran into him as soon as he stepped outside!

Richard asked with a grin, “What, I wasn’t lying, was I?”

Lai Kete nodded somewhat gloomily.

Richard hadn’t broken any rules. Though he was Second Ring, he was richer than some Three Rings Wizards.

Such a figure among Second Ring Wizards was like a dimensional reduction strike.

“Since the Master also admits it, then our little misunderstanding is cleared up. What comes next is the real business.”

With that, Richard rubbed his hands together, the smile on his face almost shining with a golden light… the golden light of gold.

“Master, what price do you plan to set to ransom yourself?”

Lai Kete was slightly stunned, and then he understood Richard’s intentions.

Three Rings Wizards were the backbone of any Academy. Normally, these Three Rings Wizards managed the Academies, and in times of war, they were important central forces.

Right now, without any deep-rooted enmity between the two sides, it was okay for some One Ring and Second Ring Wizards to die. But once a Three Rings Wizard died, that would inevitably drive the situation of the war towards an uncontrollable direction.

What had been a tacit war becoming a meat grinder would just be too stupid.

Of course, this didn’t mean Lai Kete could be complacent.

Richard might not intend to kill him, but putting him in confinement was still possible. With Richard’s strength, returning to Black Tower Academy wouldn’t be difficult, and then they would hand him over to the wizards of the Black Tower Academy.

Not to mention anything else, the face of the Meteor Star Academy would be completely lost.

Lai Kete’s brain was racing. He definitely had to bleed out a bit right now.

And the Richard in front of him was clearly not lacking in Magic Stones, so using Magic Essence as ransom was obviously out of the question.

Moreover, he hadn’t been a Three Rings Wizard for long and had a bunch of research projects that needed Magic Essence.

He couldn’t afford to pay a lot of Magic Essence in ransom.

In this case, he could only pay with knowledge.

For wizards, knowledge and Magic Essence were both hard currencies.

After thinking for a long time, something suddenly flashed in Lai Kete’s mind.

Then he confidently said, “I have a blueprint for a Tesla Type 7 Shield Guard Alchemy Puppet on hand. This price should be enough.”

“…”

Looking at the silent Richard, Lecter’s heart skipped a beat.

“Hmm? Is the blueprint for this Puppet very common?” Richard asked curiously.

“What do you mean?”

Richard said indifferently, “I have a blueprint for a Tesla Type 9 Shield Guard Alchemy Puppet on hand. Master, you might want to offer something else.”

Now Lai Kete was having a hard time.

Those results he had worked so hard to research, he really didn’t want to give them away. But the knowledge he had inherited was somewhat inadequate.

After thinking it over, Lai Kete said with a somber voice:

“What do you want? I have a lot of inherited knowledge on hand; I might have something you want.”

“What I want?”

Richard stroked his chin, pondering for a moment.

He didn’t seem to want any particular knowledge at the moment, but if he had to say, the thing he needed the most was a cheap, stable Power Furnace.

Stave’s Vengeful Ghost Power Furnace would definitely be used as the Power Furnace for high-end Armor in the future, after all, it involved rules, and with Richard’s technology, it wouldn’t be possible to mass-produce this kind of Power Furnace until he became a Great Wizard.

But Richard also planned to make Armor cheap and assembly-line produced.

In this situation, a cheap and stable Power Furnace became very important.

“Does the Master have some knowledge like a Power Source, preferably the simpler kind?”

After hearing Richard’s needs, Lai Kete immediately started rummaging through his own memory.

Being well-read and having a strong memory is a basic quality for a wizard, and a Three Rings Wizard like Lai Kete could do things like memorize an entire book after one reading and not forget it for over a century.

He had read all the inherited knowledge in his hands, so there was an impression left in his memory.

After thinking for a while, Lai Kete suddenly looked up and said:

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

“I have something. I have a study on Yuris Black Crystal on hand.

Yuris Black Crystal is a special ore produced in the Black Mountain World, containing immense Energy inside.

After processing, this ore can be used as a stable Energy Source.”
