This is a longer chapter hopefully. A new Alchemist might come soon! Please answer the poll for his name! Enjoy!
One month after Chapter 2...
Pshhhhhh….
Dextrox was frying some boiled potatoes. He had started the fire using his fire spell. He manipulated the fire by saying, "Burnix Flamiz Grandiyx!" (The Wizard Book of Spells)
The fire turned from red to blue. He cast another spell, "Bikex patext til wquity orimoa donw!" His energy went down a bit as he finished saying the spell.
The pan lifted itself out of his hands and started frying the potatoes for him. It floated over the fire to fry the potatoes equally. The energy is worth it Dextrox thought as he watched the frying pan fly over the flames. He walked over to his bed. A spring had jumped out of his mattress but he had fixed it a few days ago. He stared towards the ceiling. Some of the plaster had fallen off. I really need a better room he thought, I better buy something to make this room more cozy.
"Life is so boring here." He complained to himself, "There's nothing to do. I've been here for a month and nothing has happened yet."
Suddenly the Chief walked into the Lab. He was wearing his red and blue robe.
"Chief Sarius!" Dextrox exclaimed eagerly hoping to get a job.
"I have a job for you." The Chief said, "Our competition is getting fierce."
"Yes, I understand." replied Dextrox. Finnaly I can have that blasted job I was waiting literally weeks for!
"We want you to research a new troop for us." Chief Sarius said, "We need Goblins."
"But aren't those our enemies!?" exclaimed Dextrox in horror thinking of the devastation that Goblins are able to produce.
"Yes they are…" admitted Chief Sarius, "But I want you to find a way to train them!"
"WHAT!?" exclaimed Dextrox. How can I get a Goblin who has a brain the size of a peanut to follow a Cheif's orders!?
"I will pay you 500 liters of Elixir." said Chief Sarius hoping to persuade him. Chief Sarius desperately needed new troops to gain resources to upgrade his defenses.
Dextrox thought about it carefully. The Goblins would try to kill him if he wasn't careful. But the amount he was getting paid for was a good salary. It could help him get the 100,000 liters of Elixir that you needed to get so that you could go back to the Academy so you could learn to become a Lv. 3 Alchemist.
"What's the deadline?" Dextrox asked. He would need time for this sort of job.
"I can afford 2 weeks max." the Chief answered, "Any more than that and we might get raided too much that we cant upgrade anything anymore."
"Do you have any captive Goblins?" asked Dextrox. Dextrox would need these Goblins to test his experiments on.
"Yes." Said the Chief, "You may use them in your experiments. Just be careful."
"Let's get started!" exclaimed Dextrox. He was eager to be able to become a more powerful Alchemist so he could help Chiefs all around the world. Though inside he didn't want to leave Chief Sarius.
Dextrox went back inside thinking about how he would complete his experiments. He thought for a second. Then he went back to his fried potatoes. First eat then work after he thought as he gobbled up the potatoes. He grabbed some sauce and took a gob of it to dip his potatoes in. The sauce represented a mix of mustard, mayonnaise and ketchup. A few minutes later he went to the Town Hall for his budget/salary for his Goblin research.
"Here you go Alchemist." said a villager showing him a container of Elixir. The elixir tank was about the size of a couch. Dextrox used the spell, "Lerivijx Poitrya Tnkiu" to lift up the elixir tank and make it levitate. Only Alchemists knew of this ability.
After he collected the 500 liters of elixir Dextrox and he brought it back to his Lab he walked over to the Clan Castle. This is where the Goblins were stored. Dextrox looked at the clan castle. He realized that Chief Sarius had been kicked from his Clan 'Long Youth' (Made up Clan). The emblem looked like purple merlons on top of a castle wall.
Dextrox heard a raspy voice, "Gvt mv vvt vf hvrv!"*
Another voice said. "Vvr Kvng wvll kvll yvv vll!"
Dextrox walked into the Clan Castle. He saw about 13 Goblins all facing his way. They started throwing Goblin curses at Dextrox. "Grxymz lnd jbyt!" "Tyfc plk qllllllllllll!" "Mbty Wrmst Hstrw!"** Then the 2 Barbarian guards put gags in the Goblin's mouths.
"I need one goblin." Dextrox stated, "Put him in a cage and bring him to the Laboratory."
"OK" replied the guard happlily as he was finally allowed to do some sort of offensive move to the wretched Goblins.
The guards knocked one of the Goblins unconscious. This Goblin appeared to be one of the leaders as most of the Goblins recoiled in shock. They took him out of it's cage and broke the arm of another Goblin as it tried to escape. They transported the unconscious Goblin to the Laboratory where he was placed in a cage. The two barbarians walked away and leaved Dextrox to his business.
Dextrox got up and went to the Lv. 1 Spell Factory.
"Can I buy a minor Heal Spell?" asked Dextrox. He would need to heal himself if things got out of hand.
"Sure thing." said the Wizard, "Come back tomorrow. Then it should be done."
"Thanks" said Dextrox walking away. Tomorrow he would start his experiments and allow Chief Sarius to slowly rise to the top.
The sun started setting in the sky. The sky turned blood red as it set. Tomorrow will be another day thought Dextrox. Another day of surprises.
* Replace the v with a vowel
** Goblin curses. I put no vowels as I believe it is too annoying for the Goblins to pronounce.
These larger chapters are not the easiest for me. Its not that big of a deal but it means I will not be able to write as much.
By the way, a minor Heal Spell is a 1 person Heal Spell that doesn't give any splash effects. This type of Heal Spell is also weaker than the major Heal Spell. (I might add a page to The Wizard Book of Spells about spells)
