Chapter 72: The Art of Soul Return (3k)
Yihua took out the cross sword from the wooden box, and saw that the cross sword was installed in a rectangular sword box, almost as tall as Yihua, like a silver cross.
With his hands cold, looking at the fine witchcraft runes on the sword, Yihua tried to cast the third-level Holy Light spell.
As the majestic power of the third-level holy light technique poured in, the mithril cross sword turned into a silvery white color as transparent as crystal.
It was full of sacredness and also emitted a dazzling light. Just the illumination made Yihua feel warm.
Feeling that the third-level holy light technique was smoothly introduced into the sword body, and there was even some spare time, Yihua nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing that the other party gave no room for counter-offering, Yihua began to count his savings.
From his current perspective, there is a high probability that the final transaction price of the "Half-Dead Witch Body" at the next auction will be far more than 50 witch crystals.
He currently holds hundreds of witch crystals. After purchasing the Cross Sword, he might be a little nervous about taking a picture of the "half-dead witch body".
However, his current weapons can no longer be used and may be completely damaged at any time. In order to ensure combat effectiveness, he must replace them with new weapons as soon as possible.
There are still more than ten days left before the auction. If more scrolls are sold during this period, there may be a chance to buy the "Half-Necromantic Witch Body".
Thinking of this, Yihua made up his mind.
For the sake of future actions and safety, he still wanted to buy this weapon even if the price was a bit high.
Afterwards, Yihua returned to his residence, took out 55 witch crystals from under the floor where the witch crystals were hidden, counted them carefully, returned to the market again, and obtained a new weapon "Pure Light" from his old apprentice.
After returning to the stone house, Yihua met several Illuminati apprentices who came to check whether the merit points were enough to redeem the scrolls.
After handing over the two scrolls and sending them away, the three Noleys who had previously signed a contract with Yihua at the audition and were assigned the task of monitoring the Freemasonry came to the door.
"Lord Fersis." The
young man Norey, the leader of the three, wore a scarlet vertical pupil badge on his chest and said respectfully to Yi Hua.
"Have you joined the Freemasonry?"
Yihua is naturally familiar with the symbol of the Freemasonry.
"Sir, I am the only one who passed the test and successfully joined the Freemasonry. The Freemasonry did not accept the two of them..."
After hearing Noley's words, the other two lowered their heads, with a look of guilt on their faces.
"It's enough for one person to enter the Freemasonry. How is the intelligence collection going?" "
This is the information I collected from inside. Please take a look at it."
Noley took out a stack of paper, which was filled with dense information. , and some papers have simple portraits drawn on them.
Yihua took the information and flipped through it while Nolei also started to explain.
"According to our investigation, there are 95 first-class apprentices and 51 second-class apprentices in the Freemasonry. The strongest among them are the president of the Freemasonry, Melkor, and the two vice-presidents." Yi heard this
. Hua nodded, looked at the information in his hand, and said without raising his head:
"Continue."
"Vice President 'Bloodhand' Nok is said to have top-notch second-class strength, and can even compete with third-class apprentices." , has a strong hand-to-hand combat ability, and seems to have the blood of some powerful creature."
"Vice President 'Leng Feng' Sass is good at power witchcraft, and is also a great knight, able to control a large number of sharp weapons and launch showers of weapons. The attack is said to have the strength to kill several second-class apprentices instantly."
"Huh?"
Hearing the description of "Leng Feng", Yi Hua thought of Jack who had attacked him before.
However, according to the description, Jack's strength is far inferior to that of Sass, the vice-president of the Freemasonry, but the two may be related to a certain extent.
Seeing that Yihua only sighed and did not speak, the young first-class apprentice Norei paused briefly and continued:
"As for the president Melkor..."
Norei paused, sorted out his words, and then He continued:
"He possesses the bloodline of the extraordinary life shadow snake, is good at witchcraft related to shadows and souls, and controls the bloodline talent that can control the minds of others. It is said that Melkor has been promoted to the third level, but it has not been announced yet."
"Well, you continue to keep surveillance and observe the other party's movements. If you make any important discoveries, report them to me in time. Pay attention to concealment and remember not to let the other party discover your purpose!" Yi Hua repeatedly warned the three of them, and the three of Nolei
hurriedly Saying yes, he left Yihua's stone house.
As soon as Yihua entered the stone house and was about to continue making scrolls, he unexpectedly felt a warmth in his pocket.
Yihua took out the object that radiated heat, and saw that it was the crow-shaped token that mentor Simon had given to Yihua before.
He connected his spirit with the token, and a somewhat illusory figure of Mentor Simon instantly appeared in the corner of the stone house.
The other party seemed unable to notice the surrounding environment. Instructor Simon, who was wearing a golden monocle, looked at Yihua and said, "Yihua, come to
my living room right away. I have something to tell you."
After that, The shadow of Teacher Simon disappeared from the spot without stopping at all.
Hearing this, Yi Hua remembered what instructor Simon had told him after he had just returned to the academy and handed in the blood plague bead.
Realizing that the college had probably made a decision about handing over the blood plague bead, he felt moved, cleaned up the room, and immediately set off for the high tower of the college.
About twenty minutes later, Yihua appeared in Mentor Simon's living room.
Instructor Simon turned to look at Yi Hua, his monocle flashed slightly, and said:
"Yi Hua, the previous investigation on the source of the blood plague bead has produced results. What you said is indeed true, and it has made a great contribution to the college. The top management of the college has Your reward has been finalized—"
Halfway through, mentor Simon suddenly gave up. Yihua quickly made a look of listening, vaguely looking forward to the reward.
As wizards uphold the principle of equal exchange, even if their strength is low, there is a high probability that the academy's senior officials will not be greedy for the rewards given to them.
Being able to be called a "considerable contribution" obviously means that the reward given to oneself is far beyond imagination.
A large amount of witch crystals, or a rare material that can enhance spiritual power and accelerate promotion to the second level?
Before Ihua could think about it, Simon announced the reward content.
"We have decided to give you the top ten spots in the academy competition. The prizes for winning and losing in several rounds will be given to you at once. Are you willing?" Yihua's eyes lit up when he heard the reward
given by the academy.
Why do thousands of apprentices from the academy sign up to participate in the academy competition? Isn't it just to strive for a higher ranking and get more rewards?
There are at least hundreds of second-class apprentices among these thousands of apprentices.
According to Yi Hua's guess, those who can break into the top ten of the competition are probably the best among second-class apprentices, and can even briefly compete with third-class apprentices.
With his current strength, there is no guarantee that he can firmly enter the top ten.
But right now, there is an opportunity to save a lot of time and directly land in the top ten!
Unless they are idiots, no one would risk being slapped to death by a high wizard just to say they don't want to.
"Teacher Simon, I agree with the college's decision."
Hearing Yihua's reply, Simon nodded, waved his sleeves, and a large number of treasures appeared on the table in front of Yihua.
A magic crystal that shines brightly, a platinum card with the number 10 written in wizard characters, a slightly beating heart in a crystal bottle, an unknown item in a wooden box... "There are 76 magic crystals here
. 3 second-class demonized items, 9 treasures that can speed up meditation, with a cumulative value of 216 witch crystals. After the academy has determined that these items are equal to the value of the information you provide, but other than that, you have a choice... ..."
Before Yi Hua could step forward to take it, Simon took back the large number of treasures piled on the table, leaving only the heart in the crystal bottle and the platinum card marked with the number 10.
The next moment, a thick stack of information appeared in front of Yi Hua, with four big characters "Soul Feedback" written on it in wizard language.
"Teacher Simon, what is this?"
"Soul repayment, also called death dedication, is one of the seven secret techniques of the Necromancer. It is as famous as the Necromancer Body, but it is extremely difficult to practice. On the contrary, its effect is Equally amazing."
After hearing Mentor Simon's introduction, Yihua took the information and looked at the description of this secret technique.
According to the description, the soul retrieval technique does not consume magic power, but can restore one's own magic value at the expense of sacrificing the undead.
The further he looked down, the more shock he could not hide in Yihua's eyes.
According to the description, the magic power recovered by sacrificing the undead is not equal to the magic power consumed by summoning the undead. The higher the level of the undead, the more powerful the soul, and the higher the magic power recovered by sacrifice.
This also means that by sacrificing an undead to obtain magic power, you can even summon several undead of the same level.
Mastering this secret technique, Yihua can even summon the undead infinitely by sacrificing one and summoning several, so that the number of undead present will not decrease with the loss, and will always be at the limit of his control!
This means that in a war of attrition of equal strength, Yihua is almost invincible.
Now there are hundreds of second-class undead under him. As long as he does not die, with the soul-feeding technique of constantly restoring magic power, even a third-class wizard will be piled to death by the second-class undead he continuously summons!
However, Yihua doubled down. The secret technique given to Yihua by Simon's mentor seemed to be incomplete. Like the "half-dead witch body" in the auction, it was limited to the apprenticeship stage.
But even so, the large amount of knowledge involved made Yihua a little dizzy. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least several months to learn this secret technique.
"Whether it's the former or the latter, there are secret treasures in them that are enough for you to be promoted to the second level before the exam. Is it a secret treasure that is within reach, or a secret technique that can be expected in the future? Make your choice." The benefits of the former are visible to the naked eye, and
then They only have the apprenticeship stage, and their value is higher than that of non-necromancers.
But for non-necromancers, it is far less advanced than the former, and requires sufficient wisdom and hard work to learn.
One is a reward from the academy, and the other is a private reward given to himself by mentor Simon.
After thinking about it again and again, looking at the look of expectation in the eyes of his mentor Simon, Yihua's eyes flashed slightly and he made a decision.
