Wizard: I can refine everything - Chapter 636
“Shou… finally going to bed?”
Richard looked at Ellie blankly, and asked in a hurried tone: “Why is he about to die at the end of his life? The teacher’s lifespan should be very…”
“Richard, you don’t think the logistics are easy, do you?” Ellie said with a gloomy expression, “Master Jorod is a master of synthetic beasts, and his factory produces tens of thousands of synthetic beasts every day.
As one of the senior wizards, he makes high-level synthetic beasts to supply to the front lines every day.
You know better than me how labor-intensive it is to make advanced synthetic beasts, and Master Jorod has been doing it for more than six hundred years…”
“Furthermore,” Ellie sighed, “The deaths of Anna, Chucks, and those senior brothers and sisters I didn’t know hit Master Jorod very hard.
This should be the biggest reason for his lifespan loss. “
For most wizards, as long as the soul is immortal, the decay of the body is not a big deal. But while accepting the benefits, you also accept the costs. The strength of the soul makes the mental blow become more powerful.
Sometimes the mental shock caused by a tragedy can even be compared to a mental tear.
“……I see.”
Suddenly, Richard’s vision became blurry, the light dispersed in his eyes, and everything he looked at was blurry. His brain was also a little confused, and he suddenly couldn’t remember what he was going to do next.
“Gah, Richard, wake up!”
Ulises’s voice awakened Richard’s reason like a bell. Ellie looked at Richard’s shoulder. Only then did she realize that there was a crow standing on Richard’s shoulder.
“You’re a bird and you’re still here.”
“He… of course he is here.”
Richard was in a daze for a moment, and the scattered light refocused in front of his eyes.
“Teacher, wherever he works, I have to go and see him. I probably won’t be able to come back for a long time, I have to see him.”
…
In the operating room, Jorod put the core of the synthetic beast into the body of the synthetic beast with an expressionless expression. The squirming flesh and blood on the core of the synthetic beast slowly merged with the surrounding flesh and blood, and then there was only a “bang” sound, and the core of the synthetic beast began to beat powerfully. Immediately afterwards, the energy circulation began to flow, and the powerful body of the synthetic beast began to gradually recover.
“Done, inject the anesthetic, and start the next production in ten minutes.”
“Yes, Master.”
After leaving the operating room, Joe Lord walked to his small office as usual, preparing to take a short rest. But as soon as he walked out of the operating room door, he saw a familiar figure.
“Ellie, why did you come to my place again?” Jorod looked at Ellie and smiled.
As the lover of his own student and the disciple of his deceased colleague, Jorod was still very affectionate towards Ellie – especially after many of his student friends died in the battle.
Ellie smiled and walked to Joe Lord: “Master, it’s not just me who is here today.”
“Oh? Who else?”
Jorod knocked his head and began to recall who of his acquaintances and friends were still alive. But before he could figure out the reason, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
“Teacher, I’m back.”
Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Jorod was in a daze for a moment, and he asked tentatively: “Richard?”
“It’s me, teacher.”
Jorod rubbed his eyes and applied a few more soul witchcraft to wake himself up. After making sure that he was not hallucinating, the old wizard showed the most sincere and heartfelt smile in his life.
“It’s good to come back, it’s good to come back.”
Jolord walked up to Richard and seemed to have a thousand words to say, but when he reached his lips, they all disappeared.
“Didn’t you become a great wizard? How come you no longer have a physical body?”
“…My body is in another world. I came back through the nightmare world this time.”
“Okay, okay, you are now more capable and can use dimension teleportation.”
Jorod patted Richard’s body condensed with energy, then turned around and greeted: “Come to my room, it’s not good to stand outside.”
Entering the room, Richard glanced at the decoration of the room casually. There were only bookshelves, desks, chairs and a bed in the room, which was a very typical wizard practical style.
“Master, you are still the same.” Ellie sat next to Richard and smiled at Jorod, “Bookshelf is almost impossible to see among wizards nowadays.”
Jorod sat behind the desk and waved his hand.
“I, an old guy who can’t keep up with the times, like these old-fashioned things.”
After saying that, he looked at Richard. He could tell that Richard was not in a good mood.
“Why, aren’t you very happy to see that this old man like me is still alive?”
“No, no, that’s what you said.” Richard looked at the rotten aura on Jorod’s body, and his rebuttal voice gradually became weaker.
“I’m just a little sad.”
“Why are you sad?” Jorod glanced at himself and said softly, “I am an old man who has lived for more than five thousand years. I should have died a long time ago. As for your senior brother and sister… don’t be sad, that’s what war is like. Plane wars will happen. Dead people, let alone civilized war.”
But having said that, when Qiao Luode said this, his voice unconsciously lowered.
“What’s the situation like in the war?”
“It’s terrible. The production requirements of the synthetic beast factory are getting higher and higher. Now it’s not a problem of resources, but a problem of insufficient wizards. The wizards on the front line can be trained quickly, but the alchemy wizards in the rear cannot be trained quickly. If the number of alchemy wizards cannot be increased, it is useless to pile up resources in the warehouse.”
The front-line filling wizards only need to be able to cast spells, but the alchemy factories in the rear need alchemy wizards who have received systematic alchemy education. Many alchemy factories are very dangerous. If the quick-trained wizards are allowed to work, the factory explosion is a small matter.
“Has the superiors not considered shortening the battle line?”
“The star realm is not land. Although our battle line is called a line, it is actually a surface. In this case, the battle line cannot be shortened. Moreover, the resources of so many worlds have not been mined. If we retreat, we will only become weaker and weaker.”
“…”
The room fell silent again.
Jorode looked at Richard. He could see that his student was not just sad. Behind this layer of sadness, there must be something else hidden.
“Richard, did anything happen to you?”
“Nothing, I just…” Richard stopped talking halfway. After a moment of silence, he whispered, “I’m just a little scared.”
“What are you afraid of, death?”
“Part of it.”

Richard looked at Qiaoluode. Although he was already a great wizard at this moment, his teacher was far more experienced than him.
“Teacher, aren’t you afraid?”
“You mean death?”
“Yeah.”
“How could I not be afraid?” Qiaoluode smiled, “No one is not afraid of death. This is the instinct of living things. No matter what kind of creature it is, the fear of death will be engraved in their instincts.”
“But you don’t look scared.”
“I just overcame this fear.” Qiaoluode smiled, “The fear of death is human nature, not to mention in this era when even great wizards will fall.
But I can feel that you are not just afraid.”
Richard fell silent. He didn’t know how to express his confusion. The Supreme Master told him that he had a destiny and he was on a wonderful road. But the death of his friends and relatives made him confused. If fate was predetermined, then what was the purpose of everything he was doing now?
Fate would not change. If his relatives and friends were destined to die in this war, they would die in this war anyway. No matter how hard they tried.
Then what was the meaning of everything he did?
After a long time, he said, “Teacher, if the end of fate is predetermined, then what is the meaning of everything I have done?”
“Hmm?”
Qiao Luode was slightly stunned. Richard’s question made him a little confused. But being confused did not prevent him from solving the doubts for his only remaining and best student.
This is also the only place where he, as a teacher, can help.
“How can it be meaningless?”
“If the result is set, then no matter what I do, it will not change the result. Whether I sleep or work hard, the final result will be the same.”
Jorode shook his head: “I don’t know what you encountered, but I can tell you for sure that your different actions will definitely lead to different results. It’s like you saw that you are destined to die in a war. If you continue to explore the truth and improve your witchcraft, then even if you die, you will die brilliantly.
But if you know that you are destined to die, you start taking hallucinogens all day like those new wizards, then you may die by being killed by someone in one move, like a crushed insect.”
“But you still died in the end.”
“Death is inevitable, child.” Jorode said softly.
“I don’t know what you saw, but I guess you may have encountered a prophecy or seen some fragments of the future, so you fell into the trap of nihilism and felt that everything was meaningless.”
But as a teacher, I have to tell you that this is wrong. “
Speaking of this, Joe Lord waved to Richard, motioning him to come over. Richard walked over, and saw Joe Lord knocked on his head with lightning speed.
“Do you feel it?”
“Yes.”
“Is it empty?”
“I…I don’t know.”
“Stupid!”
Speaking of this, Joe Lord knocked on Richard’s head again.
“If you hadn’t worked hard, I would have died on the battlefield now, and I wouldn’t be knocking on your head here at all. If you don’t work hard, you can’t become a great wizard at all.”
After speaking, Joe Lord paused and continued: “I know you, a fool, must want to say that fate has destined me to survive. But I can also say that fate has destined me to survive because of my best students. If you firmly believe that fate determines everything, then you are now, and everything I do now is destined by fate.
This means that you deny the existence of free will. “
Jolod asked Richard word by word: “Richard, do you think you have free will? ”
