Sorcerer’s Handbook

Chapter 379: The Alchemy Throne

Quickly integrating spirits into the tactical system, researching miracles more suited to oneself, enhancing one’s strength, and then acquiring more spirits… Witches are typical adventurer sorcerers; a gradual approach does not suit them. Only by fighting can they leverage their advantages!

“Although my elder sisters can help me conceive miracles, their thinking relies on my mental energy. They can only engage in high-intensity thinking for up to eight hours a day; otherwise, it leads to physical fatigue.”

Deya said, “Mental energy can be simply divided into three types: thoughts, willpower, and emotions. Different types of mental energy have suitable uses. For example, thoughts are best for thinking, while willpower is more suitable for self-enhancement. However, it’s all mental energy. With this ‘determination’ spirit, I can generate determination for my sisters, allowing them to think for longer periods.”

Ashe blinked—wait a minute, your sisters already work for you eight hours a day, and now with the determination spirit, they can work even longer?

Mom and Dad were right; there’s a reason not to go into business with family and friends!

Who knew witches could be like this… Damn, when will my Substitute develop the wisdom to help me with creative work?

The physical labor capability of the Substitute is no longer enough to meet the ever-growing demand!

No wonder witches call them sisters. If my Substitute could help me construct miracles and think through the tactical system, I’d be willing to call him brother too!

While Ashe was frustrated with his Substitute, who seemed to be falling short, Deya successfully dominated two spirits. Although Lise’s spellforce was sealed in reality, preventing her from activating spirits, as long as she could induce virtual realm resonance, it was still possible to activate the ‘determination’ spirit.

Or rather, she needed the passive effect of the Heart Connect spirit: sorcerers would be more easily empathized with by others.

Not to mention this effect can effectively increase Lise’s popularity, Deya herself desperately needs it too—maybe it’s because she has a younger sister now, or perhaps it’s due to the near-death experience on the night of the white mist mutation. Deya noticed that the White Queen and the others were less accommodating and more strict with her. These days, she had to participate in Miracle construction work as well.

Lise getting Ashe’s affection was already too much; she couldn’t let Lise steal the White Queen’s favor too!

White Queen: “You’re thinking so loudly that we can all hear you…”

Black Butler: “To be lazy, you’re even willing to compete with a young girl for affection. How low can you go?”

Deya: “I was just thinking out loud, can’t I even do that now? Don’t I have the freedom to think? You’re all targeting me! You don’t love me anymore!”

Black Butler: “Really? Isn’t it because you want to be lazy?”

“No!”

“Then say, sisters don’t deceive sisters.”

“I’m angry, and I won’t get better unless you comfort me!”

“Then say, sisters don’t deceive sisters.”

“White Queen, look, the Black Butler is still targeting me!”

“You’re not even willing to say that!”

“Black Butler, calm down,” Scarlet Dead Apostles mediated, “Deya just wants to continue being our sister. What’s wrong with that?”

Deya huffed. She didn’t care about her sisters’ teasing because this was an open strategy. The sisters would definitely give in—although theoretically, empathy should result in mutual concessions, Deya was the most willful sister, so they could only accommodate her.

Because Deya was the most willful sister, she still hoped her sisters could understand her feelings and believe in her once again.

After Ashe had looted the resource point, he reached out to stop Sonya and Deya from getting into the car.

“Wait a moment.”

Sonya was slightly startled and suddenly looked back at the mine: “Oh right, this is a gemstone mine, which means…”

“We’ve finally gathered all the materials!” Ashe opened the upgrade blueprint for the sports car. “Upgrade, Alchemy Throne!”

The sports car seats began to split, reassemble, and transform. In no time, the ordinary leather seats turned into dazzling rose gold seats. At the top of the seats, a single drop of golden blood appeared, surrounded by Reverse Golden Rain, which seemed to be attracted to it, forming a golden ribbon connecting to the blood drop atop the seats!

“Alchemy Throne – Level 1: Increases the absorption rate of golden spellforce by 30%.”

Ashe used up all the essence he currently had, upgrading the Alchemy Throne to Level 4. The only change in the sports car was that the top of the seats now had four drops of golden blood.

“Alchemy Throne – Level 4: Increases the absorption rate of golden spellforce by 60%. Next level requires Gem Essence, Crystal Essence, Mercury Essence, Wood Essence, Ore Essence, Golden Essence: 600 each.”

As the most important accessory of the sports car, the Alchemy Throne required a vast variety of essences, with gemstone mines being especially rare. After twenty days on the Time Continent, with the Celestial Bull making two rounds, Ashe finally activated the accelerated training mode.

But it was all worth it. The initial boost was 30%, with a 10% increase per level, and the sports car accessory could be upgraded to Level 18, providing a 210% boost!

Although there was still a long way to go to reach Level 18, let’s not forget that Ashe’s resource-gathering pace was slow mainly because he didn’t have a map.

There are several rare resource points in the Star Shrine Area. As long as Ashe looted them one by one, the Alchemy Throne would soon be upgraded!

When the sorcerers sat in the sports car, they immediately felt the difference between a luxury sports car and an in-game purchase sports car—the golden spellforce was pouring in!

With a 60% boost, it was directly half more than before. Sensitive skin could feel the difference, and everyone loved it!

Just as the sorcerers were enjoying the influx of spellforce, the driver suddenly slammed on the brakes.

“There are some Thousand-feathered Drakes ahead.” Ashe’s words instantly made the operators tense.

As large knowledge creatures, Thousand-feathered Drakes usually appeared alone in the wild. If they gathered in groups, there was only one possibility—they were the companion units of a heroic soul legion!

There was an unknown heroic soul legion ahead!

Although it was still far away, Sonya instinctively lowered her voice: “Are you sure this isn’t the Spider Tower area?”

“I can only say that the white bull needs at least another day to reach the Amnesia Cabin.”

Actually, it’s not surprising. The Time Continent is full of heroic soul commanders, and normal sorcerers can encounter them just by walking, not to mention when they are driving.

The surrounding area was open terrain, and the pressure from the Empress’s heroic soul was too great. Therefore, Ashe and the others didn’t dare to act boldly and planned to sneak past from the side.

As Ashe approached, the virtual realm map refreshed with an area marked “Worth Visiting”—right in the area surrounded by the companion units!

Did the virtual realm map rename itself to the “Treacherous Map”? It actually suggested that a few guerrillas like them walk into the regular army’s encirclement?

But upon closer inspection, Ashe realized there were already people in that area—there were two yellow markers just like theirs!

This meant there were two sorcerers inside!

In addition to the two sorcerers, there was a red marker representing a knowledge creature and a black marker representing an “Unknown Entity.” Since the Time Continent’s unknown entities are either sorcerer projections or heroic soul commanders, then…

“Are there actually sorcerers trying to kill a heroic soul commander?” Ashe said in shock. “Are they crazy?”

Sonya reached out and patted Ashe’s head. “I won’t allow you to insult yourself like that.”
