Chapter 215: Arcane and the Witch King Civilization

PS: The order of the chapters is wrong.
Gem Cave.

Richard is examining the jewel beetles. In order to obtain a greater chance of mutation, Richard separated the large jewel beetles and the small jewel beetles for mating.

Larger gem beetles are more likely to mutate, so Richard selected the strongest gem beetles and let them mate, then built a geomagnetic energy pool in the gem cave.

Gather the surrounding earth energy into the energy pool.

According to the research of the Arcanists, higher, more dense environments are more likely to cause the Gem Beetle to mutate.

This theory was first discovered by the elves. The high elves and ordinary elves of the elves can almost be said to be two completely different races. The lifespan of high elves is 3 years, while the lifespan of ordinary elves is to years.

Their strength is also very different. Apart from their similar appearance, they are almost two populations. But in fact, they are indeed one population, it's just that the high elves evolved.

Many people have been studying how to evolve and stabilize their bloodlines, but because the elves are so powerful, no one dares to go deeper.

The original root bloodline of the gem beetle is a demonized insect called a mining bug. This mining bug got its name because it likes to devour minerals and has been used to collect ores for a long time.

After they collect the ore, they excrete the metals that cannot be digested, which is equivalent to purifying and refining the metals.

Later, during the Arcane Empire, the arcane arts developed greatly, and the arcane masters at that time began to conduct large-scale and in-depth research on bloodline improvement. In fact, bloodline research had already been conducted in an earlier period, and the dragon vein warlocks were proof of this.

During this period, arcanists studied bloodlines and performed various transplants and fusions on them to create many new species, but this was quickly resisted by the druids.

The arcane masters of the time were all so arrogant that they dared to confront even the gods. When the powerful Arcane Empire was finally destroyed, it was not just the gods who took action.

At that time, the main material plane was riddled with holes and almost collapsed. It was also that war that made both sides realize that this level of battle could destroy the multiverse, and peace was restored.

The newly formed Arcane Council also began to restrict research in many areas. Some arcane masters really liked to commit suicide, so the Supreme Arcane Council made explicit regulations, and many arcane masters were exiled from the material plane.

At the beginning, some arcanists even wanted to seize the power of the ancient evil creatures. These people directly caused more than a dozen ancient evil creatures to break the seal, thousands of arcanists were contaminated by the power of the evil creatures, and three great arcanists were corrupted. In the end, they paid a heavy price before they could deal with the aftermath.

Although these arcanists have a strong desire for knowledge, they often do not consider the consequences and impacts, and ultimately suffer the consequences.

Arcanists once had a longevity spell that could grant one year of life after casting, during which one would not age at all, and the spell could be used repeatedly. According to the theory of this spell, the Arcanists could achieve something like immortality.

However, casting this spell is not without cost. The spell requires that one use this spell to kill other creatures in order to seize the vitality of other creatures in order to prolong one's own vitality.

For a long time, some reckless arcanists used this spell on ordinary humans, which even caused the population of the material plane to experience negative growth for a period of time. Even the Arcane Empire, which invented this spell, opposed its use.

Later, this spell was explicitly banned. During the Arcane Empire, most arcanists had fallen into the lawful evil camp, and some who were courting death had even become chaotic evil. Only a small number of arcanists still belonged to the lawful neutral camp.

It was these lawful neutral arcanists who established the later Supreme Arcane Council.

When Richard read the history of the Arcane Empire, he felt that his worldview had exploded. Those great arcanists had gone astray. Later, after he became an astral traveler, he traveled to other planes and saw the even more evil Sorcerer King School.

The wizards of those schools came from the same heritage as the Arcane Empire, belonging to an even bloodier and more barbaric era before the Thorium Age.

At that time, he witnessed the witch-breeding organization, whose internal competition and cruelty were outrageous. The witches and wizards trained in this environment were indeed powerful, but nine out of ten were mentally ill.

This kind of wizard organization is called the Black Wizard. At the same time, this civilization also has the White Wizard heritage. The White Wizards are much more normal. Although it is also cruel, it is simply heaven compared to the Black Wizards.

In the end, the white wizards won the wizard civilization, relying on a larger population, more wizards, and more advanced runes. They successfully crushed the black wizards with their numerical advantage.

Richard also participated in it at that time, joined the White Wizard Organization of the Nine Rings Tower, and acquired a lot of knowledge inherited by wizards.

This world developed from the Age of Witch Kings. Each Witch King relied on his own powerful strength to enslave a large population. When he was alive, the kingdom was very stable and might last for hundreds or even thousands of years. But after his death, it fell apart in an instant.

It is also because of this environment, with almost no supervision, that human body transformation experiments among wizards are extremely popular, and there are almost no restrictions on bloodline transformation and human body transformation.

Richard also obtained a lot of blood transformation experiments here. The Gem Beetle was transformed through blood experiments. The second mutation of the Gem Beetle was the result of Richard's research.

In the energy pool, the strongest gem beetles are mating and laying eggs. In order to allow these eggs to hatch into stronger gem beetles, Richard specially prepared elemental water to help with the hatching.

After several rounds of cultivation, the number of gem beetles one meter in size increased significantly, and the quality of the magic gems produced was also better.

Richard obtained dozens of extraordinary fifth-order magic gems. These extraordinary fifth-order magic gems contain powerful magic power and are suitable for making rune gems.

"At least I didn't lose too much." Richard put away several magic gems the size of eggs.

After collecting this wave of gems, Richard returned to the laboratory to start making rune gems. These rune gems will be used on the floating city to strengthen the power of the maze and magic net.

The floating city needs tens of thousands of magic gems to strengthen the magic net and maze.

Richard manipulated the elemental energy to slowly enter the magic gem. This changed elemental energy was highly corrosive, and he used this energy to etch the inside of the magic gem, etching out runes one by one and then forming a rune array.

This process can etch a large number of rune arrays on magic gems and is one of the best gem engraving techniques.
