Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 273 - 57: The Stranger Road of the Fire Lizard

Chapter 273 -57: The Stranger Road of the Fire Lizard

After resolving the issue in Talgar, Richard came to the area beneath the canopy of the World Mushroom. This region was the “Holy Domain” of the Holy Tree Elf, void of any buildings except for the Holy City built by the Holy Tree Elves, who had even relocated their buds.

In the central nest of the Holy City, a black crow was deeply asleep.

Ulysses had made a miscalculation years ago; he had predicted a few decades, but he had now been asleep for nearly thirty years.

During these thirty years, the energy fluctuations within Ulysses had continually increased. According to Richard’s prediction, today, Ulysses’ energy would reach the limit for third-level creatures.

If Ulysses didn’t wake up now, Richard would have to prepare for the worst—Ulysses might sleep until he became the World Master.

Watching the black crow, whose energy fluctuations were gradually intensifying, Richard could only pray and wait, considering Ulysses was also a “God”; thus, Richard did only the latter.

Buzz!

A violent energy fluctuation erupted from Ulysses, instantly stirring up a magic breeze in the Secret Realm.

In an instant, Richard saw a vision appear before his eyes.

A dark, terrifying beast shrieked towards the sky, its voice almost shattering the space. It spread its wings, blocking the sun with its massive wingspan, and countless black crows emerged, engulfing the entire sky like the night.

“Is this… Ulysses?”

Richard watched the frightening beast in the vision, a trace of astonishment flashing through his mind.

Indeed, every World Master was a terrifying creature.

The vision gradually dissipated in front of Richard, and he felt a weight on his shoulder as Ulysses’ raspy voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

“Ga, this sleep was truly comfortable; I feel much better now.”

“Is that so.” Richard suppressed his excitement, responding calmly, “You’ve slept for a whole thirty years; I almost thought you were recovering from an injury.”

“Ga, thirty years!?” Ulysses exclaimed.

“Then you must have almost finished the war!”

“Pretty much, the last King of the Fire Lizard was just driven off; he probably won’t return to the Red Sun World in his lifetime. After cleaning up the remaining resistance forces of the Fire Lizards, the war will be considered over.”

“Ga, that quickly? You wizards are quite efficient.”

Ulysses was surprised by the speed with which the wizards handled the King of the Fire Lizards, but before he could finish his surprise, changes in the Secret Realm caught his attention again.

“Ga, why are there so many Fire Lizards in the Secret Realm, are they yours?”

Ulysses looked at Richard, his face showing a mix of embarrassment and shamelessness.

“Ga, you’re too polite; just let Old Mushroom take care of your brain, how did you even start breeding them?”

Listening to Ulysses’ ruthless words, Richard couldn’t help but feel exasperated.

“These aren’t for you to eat; they are employees I’ve collected over the years, all skilled professionals!”

Ulysses looked slightly disappointed: “Ga, I thought you had prepared a surprise for me.”

Yet his disappointment didn’t last long, for the next moment, the World Mushroom transmitted a Spiritual Message to Ulysses.

Richard still remembered Ulysses’ words.

Although he had been capturing slaves over the years, the Fire Lizards he killed had all had their brains collected and given to the World Mushroom.

The number of brains was enough for Ulysses to have a feast.

“Ga, very noble of you! Then I’ll go have a feast first.”

Richard nodded: “Suit yourself, just remember to come out after you’re done, I need you to protect me on a journey.”

“Ga, no problem at all.”

…

The defeat of the Fire Lizard King, Morick, undoubtedly struck a massive blow to the resistive forces of the Fire Lizards; they had held on until now, largely because Morick had not yet returned.

Now that Morick had fled, the Fire Lizard Clan had no more hope of expelling the wizards.

Located in the Yajilite Mountains of the Minar Empire, the remnants of the high-ranking officials of the Fire Lizard Empire watched the sky with earthy faces.

Although they had anticipated this possibility, witnessing it firsthand made them realize their faith was insufficient to accept the outcome.

Squelch!

A Fire Lizard general decapitated himself with a sword, his blood spraying and staining the surrounding Fire Lizards red.

Harash, expressionless, bowed his head and spoke indifferently:

“Go back, there’s nothing more to see here.”

With that, Harash walked into a mountain cave behind him without looking back.

Deep in the cave, the expressionless Azuhan waited in a conference room for his father.

Rumble rumble rumble…

The stone door of the conference room was pushed open, and Harash entered calmly, then closed the stone door. The moment the door shut, Harash collapsed to the floor like a puppet that had lost its support.

He propped himself up on his arms, but they trembled uncontrollably.

The Fire Lizards were finished.

Azhuan walked over and helped his father up from the ground.

“How is the princess?” Harash suddenly asked.

Azhuan shook his head: “She’s sleeping, not aware of what’s happening outside.”

Azhuan helped Harash to the nearest chair; his father’s body continued to tremble.

On the chair, Harash had a vacant look, his face showing a blank expression that Azhuan had never seen before.

Azhuan sat opposite Harash, his heart equally anxious and fearful; the Fire Lizard Clan no longer had hope, only a future of struggling to survive and approaching extinction.

“Father, initiate the Fire Seed Plan.”

“…Initiate it.”

Harash stood up, and several Fire Lizard generals entered through the door.

Seeing Harash, one general, looking nervous, cried out:

“Marshal, the Fire Lizards below are uncontrollable; they want to fight the wizards to the death.”

These remaining resistors were all elite Fire Lizards, also the most stubborn “Free Men.”

They would rather die than live as slaves to the wizards.

Now the hope of driving out the wizards was utterly shattered. The best ending the somewhat crazed Fire Lizards could think of was to die gloriously on the battlefield.

“Um, I know,” he said, “tell them not to make a move yet, I will personally lead them into battle shortly.”

“Ah!” Two Fire Lizard generals looked at Harash in astonishment. They hadn’t expected such a response.

“Marshal, you…”

Harash looked at the two Fire Lizard generals in front of him, and asked in a flat tone:

“Is there a problem?”

One general spoke, “Marshal, they might give up, but you absolutely must not. Emperor Morick has not yet died in battle, we still have hope…”

Psst!

A massive amount of blood spurted out from the severed neck of the Fire Lizard general. Harash, holding the head of the Fire Lizard general, looked expressionlessly at the other general.

“Do you have any other questions?”

The remaining general stepped back continuously in fright, his face a picture of terror, his mouth opening and closing, but he couldn’t utter a word.

Harash had gone mad! He had just killed a Fire Lizard general without a word!

Harash approached him with an expressionless face and said in an extremely calm tone:

“No problem then, carry out the orders.”

The Fire Lizard general nodded frantically and then fled the conference room as if escaping.

Azuhan walked up to Harash and asked softly, “Father, have you decided?”

Azuhan’s eyes might have been calm, but the plea in his eyes could not escape Harash’s notice.

Azuhan hoped he would change his mind.

“Azuhan, you’ve grown up.”

Harash, just as when Azuhan was a child, vigorously rubbed Azuhan’s head.

“An adult needs to stand on his own and shoulder those responsibilities.

I’m already old, there are some responsibilities I can’t bear, and don’t want to bear anymore.

Also, the New World needs the seeds, an old thing like me going there would just be a hindrance.”

Harash spoke in a very lighthearted tone, as if he had shed a heavy burden. He looked at Azuhan, a relieved smile on his face.

But Azuhan was looking down, tears continuously sliding down the corners of his eyes.

“Azuhan, an adult should not cry, especially a leader!”

Harash’s voice suddenly turned stern, just like in the past when he was teaching Azuhan.

Azuhan looked up, his golden dragon eyes brimming with blood, filled with a sorrow as deep as the ocean.

Harash said solemnly:

“Azuhan, the future of the Fire Lizards is now in your hands. Whatever method you use, whatever means, even if you go to ally with the wizards, become the most shameful traitor!

You must ensure the survival of the Fire Lizard Clan!

Now tell me, do you have the determination?”

Azuhan, choking:

“Yes!”

“Very good.”

Harash showed a satisfied smile, he patted Azuhan on the shoulder, his voice carrying hope and blessing:

“The future of the Fire Lizards is in your hands.”

Azuhan watched as Harash walked out of the conference room with brisk steps, as light as when he had been summoned by the Fire Lizard King in his younger days.

That year, he had been promoted from Dragon Warrior to a Horned Noble, and had defeated the genius general Balashar of the Linksa Empire on the battlefield.

Harash had been just like this, light-footed and smiling.

Azuhan stood there, watching his father’s figure gradually disappear at the end of the cave.

He knew that this farewell was forever.

Afterward, he turned and left the conference room from the other side.

…

Record of the Red Sun World expedition:

Three days after Fire Lizard King Morick was expelled by the Great Wizards Qing Shuang and Hellfire, the Fire Lizard Resistance hidden in the Yajilite Mountains launched a desperate battle.

In this battle, the former Marshal of Morick Empire, Harash, led the Fire Lizards, killing one thousand five hundred and seventy-two wizards, with all Fire Lizards perishing, none surviving or enslaved.

This battle marked the conclusion of the Red Sun World expedition, as the Red Sun World had now been incorporated into the grand domain of the Wizard Civilization.

…

On the edge of the Yajilite Mountains, a place connected by the Molten Sea, an underground Molten Lava Lake.

Above the Molten Lava Lake, a huge metallic object, like a golden shuttle, floated quietly. Soon, several Fire Lizards dressed like astronauts emerged from the Molten Sea.

One of them removed his strange outfit, revealing the uniform of Merrick’s Shield beneath.

He quickly walked to a Fire Lizard at the shore and reported in a low voice:

“Lord Azuhan, the New World fleet has been fully calibrated.”

Azuhan nodded slightly, “I know.”

He looked back in the direction of the desperate battle, his voice barely discernible:

“Father, farewell forever.”

A nearby Fire Lizard, not hearing Azuhan’s words clearly, quickly asked:

“My lord, what did you say?”

Azuhan shook his head:

“Nothing, notify the fire seeds to board.

We are heading to the New World!”
