Alchemist Wizard

What appeared before Roy was a set of battle armor made of the same material as his own, but with a more tailored and elegant design, adorned with intricate edge patterns. Compared to the metallic shell-like texture of what he wore, this one resembled a fabric akin to sheer stockings, a more feminine modification. It clearly offered better skin-friendliness and protective capabilities than the light armor of the kingdom. Designed by the hands of an [Artist], it fully accentuated the figure, showcasing the delicate physique of a young woman.

However, Atedia still seemed a bit awkward, as the quality of this armor was too good—so good it was almost transparent! Light, breathable, and as if wearing nothing at all... This made her blush slightly, feeling an indescribable sense of shame.

"This... this fits well... but isn't it too thin?" Atedia voiced her discomfort. Especially since the part covering her equine body was still the original light armor. The contrast in thickness, texture, and color... made it seem as if she were wearing nothing on her human half.

"You don't understand, the thinner the female armor, the higher its defensive power! When I have time later, I'll craft a face guard and armor for your equine body," Roy ignored her muttering and continued to promise. "There's a war mission coming up soon. If the rewards are substantial enough, I'll customize some enchanted items like horseshoes for you."

Atedia, her face flushed, nodded gently.

"Alright, you can go now," Roy waved his hand, dismissing her, and then turned his attention to the inventory list. Now, everyone's demand for Blood Mercury and methods to enhance mental strength has increased. It seems they've accumulated a batch of resources and are planning to advance to higher-level apprentices.

"Most apprentices reach their limit at this stage, but Andov might have the potential to break through to the Elite Apprentice level. He's worth nurturing. And Damo, he can help me refine artificial meat and artificial skin as materials for the armor. Although the main body of this thing is a shimmering silver honeycomb mesh, the bionic skin part is also crucial. He can assist with that."

What can be disseminated, and what are core secrets. Roy carefully considered and discerned these matters.

...

Over a month later.

In the quarry's public Alchemy Room.

"That's it for now. You guys handle the wastewater. I'll head back first," Roy instructed Andov and the others, then left amidst their acknowledgments, returning to his room.

He sat before the Wizard Array, channeling magic to convert Wizardry Energy, and began smelting and forging star iron swords. A special star iron sword, blended with Gleaming Silver, emerged. It possessed a slender and beautiful, elegant form, yet was sturdy and durable, with certain magic-conducting properties. Roy embedded a small shard of a Fire Elemental Gem he had previously seized into it, combined with the "Enchantment Art" he had observed earlier, and crafted a beginner-level magic sword.

This was the content of "Creation Studies," combined with the talents of [Artisan Skill], [Artist], and [Proficient], successfully forging a weapon with enchantment capabilities. In the context of mortal warfare, it was already considered a treasure.

Roy casually gifted it to Celine, then prepared to refine more for the other apprentices, fulfilling certain exchange demands.

He had now figured out the relevant tricks, combining the use of the Alchemy Machine, Mana Return, and even the previously deemed less useful Multitasking...

He could easily handle a few more tasks without any issues.

"Spiritual Materialization is truly convenient. I originally thought I would need to build a large iron furnace for smelting and such."

Watching Roy sit cross-legged again, focusing his mental strength on the Star Iron, like sunlight concentrating to melt the metal, Celine couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

This was a hallmark ability of advanced apprentices, one she had yet to master.

"Of course, if even such simple processing required an iron furnace, I'd be a blacksmith in the Wizarding World, not a Wizard Alchemist!"

Roy, utilizing his Multitasking talent, chatted with her while staying busy.

"But then again, for those high-level forging processes that can last for hundreds or even thousands of years, relying on just this one technique wouldn't suffice.

Perhaps even the location would have specific requirements, like finding an Earth Vein near a volcano to build a large furnace or something similar."

In no time, he skillfully placed another piece of forged Star Iron on the Wizard Array for further shaping.

Then he instructed Celine, "Keep an eye on this for me."

With that, he hurried off to check on Stedson's progress.

Before even entering the carving room, he could hear the clinking sounds coming from inside.

Roy walked in to see Stedson hard at work.

He had already followed Roy's instructions and nearly completed the rough form of the statue.

"Alright, I'll take it from here."

After watching for a while, Roy took over the tools and began refining the details.

This statue was being prepared to house the captured soul of Marcel.

He had once again improved the Golem Transmutation array and was ready to put it into practice.

Stedson was quite clever; after stopping, he didn't rest but quickly busied himself with other preparations.

By the time Roy finished his part, Stedson had also completed the Transmutation Circle puzzle and gathered all the materials needed for the ritual.

Roy nodded in satisfaction, activated the Transmutation Circle, and after the golden scale appeared, chanted the Animation Art spell to bring the Golem to life.

Another Elite Golem, infused with a soul, was successfully created.

It moved slightly, then knelt before Roy, showing submission to its creator.

Roy glanced at it and remembered something.

"This Marcel, wasn't he Kassad's brother, both sons of the great chieftain Kairon?

Go to the entrance and guard the quarry together."

The Golem, upon receiving the command, moved on its own and quickly ran outside to stand guard at the quarry entrance alongside its "brother" Kassad.

At first glance, they looked like stone lions guarding the gate.

After handling this matter, Roy didn't stop to rest but continued to monitor other situations within the quarry.

Over the past month or so, he had mostly digested the spoils of war, transforming them into useful items for himself and his apprentices.

Everyone's needs had been met.

But those were just small, scattered improvements.

To advance to a senior apprentice, or even an Elite Apprentice, would still require some time and accumulation.

Finally, he arrived at the Alchemy Room to check on the progress of the Wizard Array processing the "Totem Stone."

Among the magical alchemy tools, the most reliable and straightforward one, the "alchemy cauldron," was currently refining the captured "Totem Stone."

After more than a month of effort, there was finally some successful progress.
