Chapter 45: Postwar Measure

After a battle of life and death, Mas’ overall strength was greatly reduced.

There were only 15 Red Crystal Gargoyles and two Strange Strength Murlocs left…

After this crisis, Mas deeply realized the inadequacy of his strength. He also saw the killing move of the indigenous humans in this magic world. With the support of gods, the pressure that surpassed Mythical strength was so lethal and charming.

Mas planned to look for Belek again after tidying up the spoils of war and look for higher-level alchemy items to see if he could refine the legendary Level 7 monster.

Inside the Alchemy Tower, Mas, who was counting the spoils of war on the top floor, held the Shield Energy Pearl in his right hand and the Alchemy Materials Encyclopedia in his left hand. He began to figure out how this Energy Shield Pearl was refined.

This thing was very important to him at the moment.

However, his previous master, Dyson, was an alchemist who specialized in alchemical creatures and he had not made much progress in this regard.

Mas could only try it himself and see if he could find anything useful to him.

As long as he could break through the Energy Shield Pearl, his safety would be guaranteed.

After all, in the previous battle on the plains of the Dark Forest, the Energy Shield Pearl’s automatic defense could be said to be extremely useful in battle.

If he could add this function to the alchemy armor he created, it would definitely be the best defense system.

Looking at the countless unfamiliar materials on the Alchemy Materials Encyclopedia, Mas could only gradually try to analyze them and speculate what kind of materials were used to refine this Energy Pearl and whether he could find similar substitutes.

However, finding similar materials on the Energy Shield Pearl among many rare materials was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

For example, there were many materials in the Alchemy Materials Encyclopedia that could allow items to have autonomous sensors after adding alchemy items.

For example, the Level 5 Magic Absorbing Stone, the Level 6 Energy Gathering Stone, the Five-Colored Stone, the Radiant Stone, the Purple Crystal Mine, etc…

Looking at the densely packed rare materials in front of him, Mas felt his head ache.

After researching for a long time, Mas finally discovered a fact that gave him a headache. That was, just by trying to refine the rare alchemy items found on it, the cost of this material alone was tens of millions of gold coins.

Moreover, some rare materials were similar to the Red Dragon Stone and the organs of ancient ferocious beasts like the Orcs. These things were not only things that could be obtained with money, but they also required a certain amount of connections and luck.

There were also five-colored stones and seven-colored stones. These two alchemy items were essentially minerals, commonly known as multi-colored stones.

In complex environments, such as the oasis in the desert, if a stone was placed in the oasis, it would absorb the earth attribute of the desert, the water attribute of the oasis, and the wood attribute of the oasis trees, forming three-colored stones. However, three-colored stones were only four-star alchemy materials.

It was obvious how rare the Five-Colored Stone and the Seven-Colored Stone were.

Of course, there were also people who specialized in cultivating multi-colored stones. However, most of them were mainly five-colored stones. Seven-colored stones were extremely rare.

And this was only the multi-colored stone.

Energy Gathering Stone and Radiant Stone were also very rare alchemy materials.

In short, if Mas wanted to try it himself, he would have to pay a huge amount of gold coins and a lot of time.

“I wonder if I can obtain the ability to analyze alchemy products after my alchemy level increases!” Mas sighed softly. He had completely given up on the idea of cracking the Energy Shield Pearl.

For now, he had temporarily lost interest in this pervasive pearl.

Moreover, the most important thing now was to make up for his lack of combat strength. It seemed that it was time to go to the Storm Empire to find that guy, Belek.

Mas made up his mind and prepared to make a trip to the Storm Empire to discuss things with Belek.

Before leaving, Mas gathered everyone through the voice transmission device in the Alchemy Tower.

“I’m going to the Storm Empire now. I’m not sure how long I’ll be back. Although the Trun Kingdom’s army has been defeated, I can’t guarantee that they will make a comeback. I’ll leave you ten Red Crystal Gargoyles and two Strange Strength Murlocs.

With the strength of these alchemical creatures and the remaining rune turrets, if the Trun Kingdom attacked again, you should be able to easily resolve it.

Right, Sha You, Leah, I’ll leave the damaged rune turret to you. I’ve been troubling you recently. See if you can repair the broken rune turret. If you can repair it, do it. If you can’t, take it down!”

“I’m done talking. Do you have any questions?” Mas asked, glancing at the group.

“Master Mas, there aren’t enough materials to carve magic runes!” Sha You said.

Mas nodded. “Alright, I’ll go to the Gamma Empire to buy more materials to carve magic runes!”

“Are the others fine?”

“If there’s no problem, I’ll set off now!”

Mas, who had finished his speech, summoned the alchemical creature he needed and walked to the window on the tenth floor of the tower.

Time waited for no one. Without any hesitation, Mas summoned a Red Crystal Gargoyle outside the window. Then, he flipped onto his back and charged towards the Storm Empire.

…

After four hours of long flight, Mas finally arrived at the Storm Empire as he had hoped.

Mas did as he had done before coming to the Storm Empire. He first found a place outside the city gate and landed safely. Then, he stored the Red Crystal Gargoyle in the alchemy space and walked to the Storm Empire’s capital city.

As he had already been here once, Mas found the headquarters of the Sith Chamber of Commerce with ease.

The guard at the door was still the snobbish guard who had come last time.

However, this time, his attitude had changed drastically.

“Hey, isn’t this Lord Dyson? What brings you here today?!”

The guard looked at Mas ingratiatingly, hoping to get information that would be useful to him from his expression.

“Is President Belek here? I have something to discuss with him.” Looking at the other party’s fawning manner, Mas could not help but laugh.

“Lord Dyson, President Belek is dealing with a private matter!” The guard smiled.

“I’ll go in and find him!” Mas nodded and prepared to enter through the door.

However, he was stopped by the other party.

“Lord Dyson, I’m really sorry. President Belek has instructed that he won’t meet anyone when he’s dealing with private matters. Please don’t make things difficult for me, Lord Dyson!” The guard looked at Mas with a troubled expression and smiled awkwardly.

“Deal with personal things. What personal things?” Mas asked, frowning.

“Lord Dyson, I won’t hide it from you. Didn’t President Belek leave the Gamma Empire with you last time?”

“At that time, President Belek was attacked by bandits. During this period of time, President Belek has been investigating why those bandits attacked him. President Belek finally discovered that there was someone beside him who sold him out. Now, President Belek has called the people he suspects to the headquarters and is ready to deal with them!” The guard said in a low voice.

“I see!” Mas nodded.

The guard was extremely respectful. If he told him such a private matter, then even if he forcibly entered the headquarters of the Sith Chamber of Commerce, it would only make Belek feel ashamed.

After all, family scandals should not be made public.

With a traitor by his side, Belek himself almost suffered. If he had not made a move, the matter that day would not have ended.
