Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

The manufacturing ceremony of the Stone of Life was not completed in the alchemy laboratory, but was temporarily moved to the nearby Magical Potion Botanical Garden... This is also the pharmacy research center of the Spark City Medical Institute.

According to the requirements of the elves and dwarves, the Potion Garden is also the area with the richest and most abundant natural elements in the entire Spark City. For the manufacture of Life Stone, human intervention in the ceremony is not the main factor. It relies more on the natural attraction and stimulation of magic and natural elements after the fusion of the two rare materials.

Harvey had no intention of participating in the entire manufacturing ceremony. Although he had obtained the specific ritual process from ancient texts, he was not an elemental spellcaster after all, and his ability to perceive and control natural elements was far inferior to that of dwarves and elves. What's more, the people sent by the two races to assist him this time were young and high-level people who had been carefully trained by each other, so there was no need for him to be busy alone.

"Your Majesty, the ritual process recorded in the books is not that complicated at all?" Chris accompanied Harvey to watch the ceremony and whispered in confusion, "Why do these elves have to play and sing... to a crystal tree heart?"

Egno frowned and explained in a low voice: "Nature Mass is an ancient tradition of the Golden Forest. They believe that the Golden Tree is an intelligent life with the same status as the elves. Therefore, fusing the Life Stone is equivalent to sacrificing a living soul of the same race. Therefore, the chanting is full of sadness and reluctance."

Asdalen chuckled and said calmly, "That's because His Majesty hasn't given them enough. If the benefits were tempting enough... I'm afraid they would be happy to cut down the golden trees in large tracts and send them to Spark City for firewood."

In comparison, the dwarven ceremony was much simpler and more brutal. Lava held a clay pot containing liquid crystal cores and placed it on a huge volcanic rock found in advance. After muttering an ancient spell quickly, he decisively raised an exquisitely shaped brass hammer to smash the pot open, revealing the jelly-like earth crystal core inside.

An invisible wizard's hand picked up the earth crystal core and gently threw it into a metal cauldron used to prepare potions... Then the elves also carefully threw in the golden tree heart.

The strange thing is that the crystalline tree core disintegrated and shattered into a handful of fine sand the moment it came into contact with the liquid core, and merged evenly with the core without any human stirring, causing tiny star-like luster to appear in this mass of translucent jelly.

Then the dwarves and elves began to take out various magic plant crystal ores that even Asdalen and Chris could not recognize from the material boxes they brought. It seemed chaotic but actually followed a certain process rhythm... and put them into the metal cauldron one by one.

Slight fluctuations of magical power gradually began to appear inside the Pharmaceutical Research Center. Even Harvey and others who were not elemental spellcasters could clearly sense the natural power that was constantly gathering in the botanical garden.

However, this was not the case that the Life Stone actively absorbed the magical power contained in the surrounding plants during the ritual. These natural forces seemed to be generated out of thin air and suddenly dissipated from other planes.

Harvey nodded thoughtfully, turned around and said to Egno who was standing beside him: "You guessed right, the natural power of the Life Stone comes from the magic network space. It is essentially an element converter that can transform pure magic power into natural power!"

Since the form and properties of magic power can be converted, the carrier of the converter itself can naturally be controlled and edited, and there is no need to use magic reducing agents such as magic spirit extract.

…

About half an hour later, everyone felt that the violently fluctuating natural forces in the botanical garden began to gradually stabilize. If they listened carefully, they could clearly find that the natural magic power that had just escaped from the invisible plane rift had now all condensed into the metal cauldron in front of the elves and dwarves.

Harvey led his men slowly approaching, and in the cauldron held up by Lava and Windtalker, he saw... an ordinary gray-white stone?

It was indeed a grayish-white stone, and its surface was partially covered with the most common dark green moss in the wilderness. Even if it were thrown onto the river beach right now, no one would be able to recognize that it was the Stone of Life formed by the fusion of the rare treasures of the elves and dwarves.

“Your Majesty, don’t be surprised. I believe that even in the human classics, there is no specific record of the appearance of the Life Stone, right?” The Wind Speaker smiled proudly but reservedly, and slowly explained, “That’s because the Life Stone has no fixed form. It can be a large leaf when it is made in the Golden Forest, and it becomes a piece of metal ore in the Cave City.”

Lava also added in a muffled voice: "Yes, when it was created in the wizard tower of the southern spellcaster, it even became a stone brick for building the city wall. That's why it is said to have an independent consciousness and cannot be controlled."

Today, it is made in the Magic Potion Botanical Garden, also in a huge city of human activities. However, it does not turn into bricks or metal ingots, but is born in the most primitive and natural form of pebbles.

"This also proves that the wasteland is originally a place with rich natural power and full of vitality." The Windtalker flattered Harvey imperceptibly, "Your Majesty, just in your magic potion botanical garden, the variety of magical plants cultivated and planted there far exceeds that of the southern border. I even found several species that I have never seen or heard of before. I wonder if you can..."

The elves have a natural affinity for plants, so when they see rare or unknown magical plants, they will not let them go easily. They quickly beg Harvey to give them a small number of seedlings to take back to the East, or to exchange them for other magical materials of equal value.

There are indeed many magical plants that are unique to the northern wilderness planted in the botanical garden, but in fact they are not rare and precious. Many ordinary residents of Spark City go out for hiking on their days off and occasionally discover some magical unknown plants. They pull them up by the roots or mark them and come back to inform the medical center. Only after their use and value are clarified will they be gradually transplanted and introduced into the botanical garden.

"The potion garden is managed by Mr. Egno. If you want to exchange for magic plant seedlings, you should beg him, not me..." Harvey said lightly.

The elves immediately became embarrassed. Yesterday they had expressed their disgust and contempt for these hybrids in front of His Majesty, and today they turned around and asked them to do things. No one would do such a thing.

Although Harvey deliberately gave him a chance to slap him in the face, Egno did not intend to completely become enemies with these purebloods. He said calmly, "According to the rules of the botanical garden, you can apply for an exchange with magic plant seedlings of equal value."

He neither tried to please nor made things difficult on purpose, but instead seemed more magnanimous than these pure-blooded elves.

The Windtalker was silent for a moment, then he coughed dryly and said, "Well, the most important thing now is how to control the Stone of Life. When you can fulfill your promise and show us a more powerful way of nature, we can talk about equal exchanges later!"

After putting the Stone of Life into a box and handing it to Harvey, the elves immediately bowed and took their leave. They had no intention of staying in the hybrid's "territory" any longer. Anyway, the agreed time for fulfilling their promise was one week later. This period of time was just enough for them to obtain Harvey's permission and freely go sightseeing around Spark City. Compared to the prosperous and wealthy city full of novelties... they still prefer the wild but vibrant wilderness.

After the elves left, the dwarf Lava walked up to Harvey with a smile and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, please...please allow us to freely enter and exit those public chess and card rooms you built in the city. By the earth! The card game you invented, Dragon Quest, is so interesting!"

It was all because of the dwarf "foreign students" living in Spark City who brought them cards. A group of dwarves played cards all night long in the hotel, which naturally caused complaints and protests from the elves. However, identity cards need to be checked to enter the public chess and card room. The original intention was to prohibit minors from entering, but who knew that it also stopped this group of "out-of-town card players".
