Chapter 10: The Storm Empire

Mas asked for two three-star materials and thirty four-star materials each to be used as cover.
Top-quality Chiffon, a three-star alchemy material made by the dwarfs of the elves and could increase the airflow of objects.
Feather of an Eagle Witch, a three-star alchemy material, could reduce the weight of alchemical creatures and allow them to move faster.
Root of the Twisted Tree Spirit, a four-star alchemy material, a product left behind by the Tree Spirit of the elves after its death, can be used to enhance the defense and durability of alchemical creatures.
Lava Grass was a type of plant that lived beside volcanoes. It was a four-star alchemy material that could be used to increase the resistance of alchemical creatures.
High-grade Granite, an intermediate four-star alchemy material, could increase the hardness and defense of alchemical creatures.
Mas looked at the materials in front of him and carefully pondered for a while. He thought of the most reasonable refinement plan and then directly placed these five alchemy materials on the Creator’s Alchemy Platform for refinement.
The product was a thin green shirt that looked like Zen wings.
[Emerald Green Robe (Four-star Low Grade Alchemy Product): A lightweight inner shirt with a silk-like feel. It has excellent ventilation and good defense. It is also very heat-resistant, not easy to destroy and will not be stained.]
“It seems like the results are not bad!” Mas looked at the thin green robe in front of him and revealed a very satisfied smile.
Mas then took off his shirt and removed the long robe from the alchemy table. He put it on himself and put the shirt back on.
Even though he was wearing two undergarments, Mas did not feel uncomfortable at all. The Emerald Green Robegave him a very light and comfortable feeling, as if a cold film was stuck to his body.
“If this thing is sold to those aristocrats, it should be worth a lot of money, right?” Mas could not help but exclaim.
After all, the weather was hot right now and those aristocrats were all afraid of death. The thing that he had refined was not only convenient to wear but also weightless. It also had good defense and heat resistance. He reckoned that it would not be difficult to sell his clothes for tens of thousands of gold coins.
Mas felt that it was a pity that he had too few high-grade alchemical materials. He could not afford to try higher-level alchemical items.
Initially, Mas planned to create a set of high-grade defensive armor that had a good defense for himself.
However, based on the current situation, there was an 80% chance that this matter was not feasible.
After all, he had very few alchemy materials now. He only had four six-star alchemy materials, and they were all used to increase the attributes of alchemy products. There was no alchemy material that could be used as the main body of alchemy products.
If he wanted to refine a complete set of armor, he had to have at least some complete high-grade metal ores.
Thinking up to this point, Mas sighed. “The revolution hasn’t succeeded yet. I need to work harder. I can’t slack off.”
Following that, Mas continued to refine 29 similar products according to the refinement method of the Emerald Green Robe. Then, he continued to read the alchemy notes left behind by his previous owner.
...
Three days later, as promised, Mas delivered ten Red Crystal Gargoyles to Mage Anthony.
Of course, as usual, this time, Mas did not show his face. He let Mage Anthony enter the first floor of the Alchemy Tower and handed the ten Red Crystal Gargoyle control cores to Mage Anthony.
The creatures refined by the Creator’s Alchemy Platform naturally did not have a so-called “control core”. Instead, they were stones that Mas instructed his Red Crystal Gargoyle to secretly pick up at night before he did some polishing and turned them into a similar product. They were not alchemy products at all.
Mas had only given the simplest orders to the Red Crystal Gargoyles. Apart from the orders to harm Mas, all of the Red Crystal Gargoyles had to obey the people who held the so-called “control core”.
As long as he needed them in the future, with just a thought in his mind, these thirty red crystal gargoyles would instantly return to his side. This was the marvel of the Creator’s Alchemy Platform.
After Mage Anthony confirmed that the ten Red Crystal Gargoyles were the real deal, his tensed face revealed a bright smile.
He left in high spirits while humming a little tune. Before he left, he told Mas that just like last time, he would deliver the remaining three million gold coins worth of alchemy materials to Mas in five days at the latest.
Mas stood at the window and watched as Mage Anthony led the army away. He summoned ten Red Crystal Gargoyles from his space and ordered them to patrol the surroundings of the Alchemy Tower. Meanwhile, he flew from the top of the Alchemy Tower while riding on a Red Crystal Gargoyle.
Mas planned to personally make a trip to the Storm Empire’s capital.
Since no one had seen his true appearance yet, this trip was extremely safe.
He had two main objectives for this trip.
Firstly, he wanted to sell his Emerald Green Robe to the nobles in the capital to earn a considerable amount of profit.
Second, he wanted to collect some high-grade alchemy materials in the capital.
After all, Anthony was an outsider and would not do his best for Mas.
For example, three six-star, intermediate, and low-grade alchemy materials were about the same value as a beginner seven-star alchemy material. Mage Anthony would definitely give three six-star alchemy materials to him. After all, high-grade alchemy materials were extremely rare.
Sitting on the Red Crystal Gargoyle, Mas had his hands behind his head as he hummed a popular song from his previous life, Eighth Lord’s Lemon. Looking down at the dark forest that he flew past, his face finally revealed a smile that matched his age.
Although there were still some memories of the Storm Empire in Mas’ mind, most of them belonged to the original owner. When he transmigrated here, he was in the countryside near the capital city. Then, he followed Swoks to the Alchemy Tower. He had never seen a large city like the Storm Empire’s capital city.
He was curious and wanted to see what this world’s empire was like.
In the memories of the original owner of this body, there were not only humans in this world. There were other races as well. The Tower Race that lived in the cold winter, the Swamp Race that stretched out from the dense forest, the Elf Race from the primeval forest, and the Beast Race from the north.
“If I can get two beast-eared or elf ladies to accompany me on this trip to the capital, it seems like a good choice. My boring life will be spiced up.” Mas was secretly pleased and a faint smile appeared on his lips. He was full of anticipation for this trip.
After nearly three hours of long flight, Mas finally arrived in the Storm Empire’s capital city.
The capital city was extremely large, stretching as far as the eye could see. The tall buildings of this strange world were roughly the same as those of Earth in his previous life.
The only difference was that the ancient city wall was filled with all kinds of huge arrows and rune turrets.
If he really flew over the skies of the capital city like this, he would probably be shot into a sieve in an instant.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Mas let the Red Crystal Gargoyle descend slowly when he saw the approaching city wall of the capital. He then stored the Gargoyle in his alchemy space and walked towards the city.
After an hour, Mas finally arrived outside the gates of the Storm Empire’s capital.
To be honest, Mas was shocked by the tall and majestic city gate. The city gate was actually more than a few hundred meters tall. When he was a thousand meters in the sky, he had never felt that it was so huge. However, now that he looked closer, he saw how incredible it was.
Although his Alchemy Tower was also a hundred meters long, there was no comparison between the two before. It was just like comparing the light of a firefly to the moon.
Although his Alchemy Tower was more than 100 meters in length, it only took up a pitiful amount of space. What was in front of him was a city gate.
The city gate was a hundred meters tall and at least thirty meters wide. On both sides of the gate stood hundreds of guards wielding alchemical magic spears.
Outside the ballistae and the rune turrets, there were many mages and archers.
“This formation, this preparation, as expected of one of the Ten Great Empires!” Mas let out waves of emotions in his heart and instantly walked through the city gate.
