Chapter 204: 106. Disaster Not Over_2
Noland Lee remained calm in the face of numbers on the scale of trillions.
Whether it was the moon or the stars, their deconstruction consumption was nothing compared to even a small portion of the sun’s.
It took over 30 trillion energy points to deconstruct a larger sun completely.
A smaller sun was somewhat better, requiring just over 10 trillion energy points.
Noland had become numb to these numbers…
In all honesty, if the entire cosmic space could be deconstructed, he estimated it would require at least quadrillions to start with.
Noland glanced at his inventory of energy points, feeling utterly impoverished.
In contrast, a First-order Alchemist could be completely deconstructed with just 10,000 energy points, which was incredibly cheap.
Noland composed himself, patted the deputy captain on the shoulder, and asked:
“Mark, tell me about that werewolf? What did you call it? ‘Wolfpack Guard’? Is it a person or a wolf?”
“Oh, you’re asking about that. This is actually one of the most interesting aspects of alchemy. ‘Wolfpack Guard’ is the most basic alchemical weaponry in the ‘Wolf God’ series. Members of the Ferocious Hound Gang love the ‘Wolf God’ series of alchemy sets. Most of their alchemists master the ‘Wolfpack
Guard’ alchemical weaponry.”
As soon as Noland brought up the topic, Mark started talking like water gushing out of a floodgate.
“Do you know what alchemy weaponry is? Ah, you don’t? That’s okay; it’s easy to understand. After obtaining an alchemy stone, you can use alchemy materials and runes to create your own alchemy weaponry. These weapons will be stored in your alchemy stone, never leaving your side. Of course, you can also do like Fars Scott and remove the alchemy weapons from the stone, making room for storing water and other things.
“Alchemy weaponry includes both armor and weapons. Each type of weaponry has its fixed combination of armor and weapons. If I were to become an Alchemist, I would definitely choose the ‘Thorny Venomous Snake’ from the ‘Serpent God’ series. I’ve been coveting that silent alchemical revolver for a long time. Not only is it silent when fired, but it can also use venom bullet heads…”
Mark chattered away, giving a thorough rundown of standard knowledge about alchemy weaponry.
The Alchemy Cathedral publicly provides the recipes and materials for twelve different alchemy sets.
These twelve sets are related to the most common animals within the Golden Federation.
The basic ‘Iron Guardian Wild Bull’ in the ‘Bovine God’ series of alchemy sets is the alchemy weaponry used by Kent. It has excellent defensive performance and powerful close combat ability.
The so-called “basic model” is the alchemy weaponry for First-order Alchemists.
In addition to the ‘Bovine God’ series, there are eleven other alchemy sets named after animals combined with “God,” such as wolf, snake, cat, crocodile, sparrow, and monkey.
The “Animal + God” naming convention has profound historical and cultural significance.
Before the modern Golden Federation appeared, this land belonged to the Golden Dynasty.
The Golden Dynasty was an ancient alchemy kingdom that worshiped alchemy intensely.
As can be seen from its name, “turning stone to gold” is one of the everlasting research topics within the field of alchemy.
The twelve extraordinary forces guarding the Golden Dynasty were called the twelve pillars of the dynasty.
These twelve pillars represented twelve alchemy families.
Based on alchemy, they researched the extraordinary traits of magical beasts in depth, eventually developing alchemy weaponry named after the magical beasts themselves.
These twelve alchemy weaponry series are officially sold, with quality assurance, comprehensive manufacture and installation, and excellent after-sales service. As long as one becomes an Alchemist, they can buy them from the Alchemy Cathedral.
Besides these twelve sets, the Alchemy Cathedral also sells eight research-oriented alchemy sets and four alchemy sets that cater to both combat and research.
However, the alchemy sets sold by the Alchemy Cathedral account for less than one-tenth of the entire alchemy set system.
Many ancient alchemy sets from the Golden Dynasty have become lost in the sands of time, buried beneath the land of the Golden Federation. “There are three main types of hired Security Corporation tasks we receive.” Mark held up three fingers and introduced them one by one:
“The first is the escort mission we’re doing now. Deliver designated persons and objects to specified locations.
“The second is to investigate ancient relics. Wealthy and powerful Alchemists who discover clues about ancient relics will hire us security companies to scout for them or guard entrances.
“The third type of hired task is to assist in hunting magical beasts. The extraordinary organs of magical beasts are needed to produce alchemy weaponry. The key lies in these extraordinary organs of magical beasts, which are indispensable and must be freshly harvested and used immediately.” Mark raised his arm and pointed in several directions:
“For example, there, there, and over there. If you keep going in those three directions, you’ll enter the magical beast’s territory. Those places are quite dangerous. If you really want to hunt magical beasts, you’d need at least two security teams working together. ”
Noland nodded slowly and asked:
“What’s the deal with magical beasts? Why have I never heard of them when I was living in the Empire?”
“Ah, haven’t heard of them? That’s strange; I thought there were magical beasts everywhere. No wonder the boss always says that magical beasts are the
Golden Federation’s specialty.”
Mark shook his head and spoke with an air of familiarity:
