Chapter 132:
One week after the news from the family, Norman secret land.
A man in gray robe with a sinister face and three plague bugs on his chest was standing next to the body of a shadow elf shooter, looking at the jumping blood falcon in his hand.
The blood falcon is small in size, not as big as an owl. Its pair of eye-catching red blood eyes are particularly eye-catching. If you look closely, you will find that the redness is a bit abnormal.
That's because the blood falcon in front of you has broken away from the category of natural creatures. After being transformed into a walking corpse, it retains some of its instincts in life, such as flying, but it is controlled by the caster.
This blood falcon is now a messenger corpse bird controlled by Joachim.
Currently, his whole body is numb.
"He actually came back to life again? He was washed away by the underground river, went to the underground mezzanine, went through many hardships for half a year, and finally returned to the Ignis School smoothly. This... this is a plot that can only be found in the autobiography of a bard!"
After reading the message on the corpse bird, Joachim's face was ashen, and his mind was filled with ten thousand grass and mud horses running past.
This person is none other than the third-level wizard apprentice of the North Ring, Joachim Freehuis, the senior of the red-haired girl Jenna.
Thinking back when Master Gildas handed Richard's portrait to him, he was confident that it wouldn't take long to complete the task easily. After all, he was a third-level wizard apprentice, and no matter how outstanding the opponent was, he was only a first-level wizard. Just a wizard's apprentice.
But when he handed Richard's portrait to a third-level wizard apprentice of the Ignis School whom he was familiar with, the other party told him that Richard was missing. It was said that the wizard apprentices from the three major academies were on a clearing mission. Encountering the dark fish-men, they immediately suffered heavy casualties, and Richard was one of them.
After hearing the news, Joakim had already made a careless mistake and was fooled by Richard, whom he had never met before. He even lost face in front of his mentor.
Therefore, this time Joachim had a keen eye and went to the place where Richard disappeared, that is, the place where many wizard apprentices fought with the dark murlocs, to check. Except for some apprentice corpses that were indeed unrecognizable, Joachim Mu just couldn't find Richard's body.
This made Joachim couldn't help but feel suspicious, thinking that Richard might not be dead, but when he waited until the end of the task of eradicating the vassals of the underground race, he didn't see Richard appear.
This made Joachim start to doubt himself again.
More than a month later, Joachim asked acquaintances of the Ignis School again, but still did not hear any news about Richard's appearance.
At this time, he had some confidence, and went back to report the news to Master Gildas that Richard was likely to be killed.
Unexpectedly, half a year has passed since this incident, and something has changed. This is equivalent to being slapped in the face again, because the situation reported to the instructor was untrue.
Therefore, it is best for you to handle this matter perfectly immediately.
What is the perfect treatment? Obviously, the perfect treatment is to kill the resurrected person again.
However, Joachim considered that he could not leave the Norman secret realm for a while, so he decided to spend some magic stones first and let several second-level wizard apprentices find a suitable opportunity to kill Richard.
I'm just afraid that if he stays in the Ignis School and doesn't go out, he'll be in trouble.
Joachim thought for a while and left a message on the corpse bird, which meant that his junior, Lucius Redman, the second-level wizard apprentice of North Ring, was responsible for killing this Richard. The specific reward is five hundred magic stones.
In order to avoid any accidents, he also made a special note, asking Lucius to call a few more second-level wizard apprentices to work together.
Because of the Norman Secret Realm, many second- and third-level wizard apprentices from North Ring and Gurus Academy now travel back and forth between the Norman Secret Realm and the Ignis School's residence.
——Ignis
School Library.
At the administrator's desk.
Richard was chatting with the senior third-level wizard apprentice old man. Now, he could roughly sense the strength of the other party.
As he estimated when he first entered the school, the opponent's strength should be about the same as his current one, and his mental power was close to the limit of level three.
However, the complexity and quantity of the types of witchcraft that the other party has learned must far exceed his. However, one thing is that Richard is very confident, that is, in terms of the degree of control of witchcraft, he will definitely be one step ahead of the other party. .
Therefore, if there is a real fight, the outcome is hard to say.
"Are you looking for a zero-level witchcraft that increases movement speed?"
"Yes, senior, but I just searched around the second floor and couldn't find any similar zero-level witchcraft."
The old man shook his head and said. :
"The number of witchcraft that increases movement speed in the shadow system is very small. It is normal that you can't find it. Generally speaking, there are many more witchcraft that increase movement speed in the wind system. Unfortunately, Richard You don't have the wind element affinity attribute."
Richard also knew his problem. He was from the third element of Dark Fire and Natural Elements, and it was still declining all the way. The affinity levels were medium, low and inferior respectively.
This made him very confused, and currently he could only rely on shadow-based witchcraft.
The old man thought for a while and then added: "However, I know that there is a third-level wizard apprentice named Wolawi Piazza. He has a collection of the rare witchcraft you need. The name seems to be called Shadow. Dance steps, but if you want to exchange this thing from that stingy guy, Richard, you will probably lose a lot of magic stones." When Richard heard this, he
was overjoyed. To be honest, now I can barely speak. , problems that can be solved with magic stones are no longer big problems.
After knowing clearly that the other party is in the trading area.
Richard quickly came to the trading area, Wallaway's grocery store.
As soon as Richard walked in, he saw Wallaway, who was taking a nap. He had a chubby figure and squinted his eyes, looking shrewd.
It is difficult to connect him with a third-level wizard apprentice, but Wolawi is a real third-level wizard apprentice. Although judging from the aura, he should not have reached the peak of a third-level wizard apprentice, but it is not far away. .
"Senior Wallaway, I heard that you have a witchcraft book called Shadow Dance here?"
Richard's aura of peak level two wizard apprentice did not make Wallaway look down upon.
After looking at Richard up and down, he said slowly: "Is there any silver dragon grass? Just exchange for silver dragon grass. If you have three silver dragon grass, it will be yours." As a quasi-pharmacy master, Richard heard
this , you will know what the other party plans to do.
Although the silver dragon grass is very rare, its effect is relatively simple. Considering that the other party is a third-level wizard apprentice and is so anxious to get it, there is a high probability that he wants to make a rare silver dragon potion for the growth of mental power.
With a frown on his face, Richard smiled and said, "Senior Wolawei, do you have to get the Silver Dragon Grass?" "
Yes, you have to get the Silver Dragon Grass!" Wolawei said firmly.
Wallaway is very clear about his situation. He has taken basically all kinds of spiritual power-increasing potions available on the market.
Except for ancient mixtures such as Crimson Shock Mixture, because the quantity was too rare, and the school only released a few bottles as rewards, he couldn't get them. Others, such as prophetic potions and so on, he has already taken as long as they are available on the market.
Along with the rapid growth in strength, it has also led to the current dilemma he is facing. As he approaches the peak stage of the third-level wizard apprentice, he has basically become resistant to all mental power-enhancing potions.
Therefore, if he wants to go one step further and become a formal wizard, he needs to take new spiritual power-increasing potions. Currently, he has contacted a potion master and collected other herbs, but he lacks Silver Dragon Grass.
"Senior Wallaway, what do you think of my potion?" Richard confidently took out a small box from his arms and took out a golden horned frog egg from the box.
"No need to read, I have basically taken whatever is available on the market, unless yours is red." Before he could finish his words, Waraway stopped.
He was sure that he had never seen this kind of potion before!
Of course, there is no such thing as drug resistance.
Wallaway's eyes widened, he looked at the golden soybean grains in front of him carefully, and asked doubtfully: "This is...?" "
A special potion produced in the dark region, which can enhance mental power, Senior Wallaway You can try the effect first, this pill is free." Richard said with a smile.
Potion from the Underdark? Wallaway was a little convinced. After all, his school had gone deep underground, and it was normal for some apprentices to look for some potions unique to the Underdark.
"Are you sure it's a potion that enhances mental power and has no side effects? Have you taken it yourself?" Wallaway was still hesitant.
"Of course, the effect is very good." Richard swallowed one pill in front of Wallaway.
Seeing that Richard was so happy, Wallaway's little eyes lit up and he swallowed the golden horned frog eggs in one gulp.
In less than a few seconds, Wallaway's little eyes lit up instantly like an electrified incandescent lamp, and he thought to himself, "Sure enough, it is effective for me. There is no resistance at all. What a good thing!" Immediately,
Wallaway The shrewd little eyes immediately started to move.
"Well, Richard, how many of these do you want to trade with me for the shadow dance? You can't do less. You need at least 100 pills." Wallaway said while making a big one gesture.
"100 pills? You really dare to ask for it." Richard thought to himself, shook his head, and immediately turned around and left.
"No, no, no, don't leave! The price is negotiable. Junior, please give me a price that is negotiable." Wallaway could no longer remain calm and hurriedly ran out from behind the counter.
After all, for him, as long as he can get the potion in Richard's hands, he can raise his mental power to the peak of the third-level wizard apprentice in a few months, and he will have a chance to become a formal wizard.
Therefore, he was even more anxious. After all, Silver Dragon Grass was hard to find, and there was no telling when he would receive one. Moreover, there was a failure rate in refining it. How could such a finished potion be reliable?
"10 pills." Richard thought for a moment and quoted a price.
At this time, it was Wallaway's turn to look a little bit dark. Is this how the bargain was done? He had seen it cut in half directly, but this was the first time for him to cut directly into the fracture like this. After
a lot of back and forth, it was only after Richard showed off his superb pharmaceutical skills that Wallaway reluctantly agreed to exchange 30 golden horned frog eggs for rare witchcraft shadow dance steps.
There is also a condition that Wallaway has a free opportunity for Richard to refine the potion.
——Richard
, who got "Shadow Dance", was in a good mood and went all the way to the alchemy room of Teacher Seles.
But as soon as he entered the door, Seles told him some bad news.
"Richard, the second-level wizard apprentice who was stationed in your family was injured. According to the news he sent back, there is currently an outbreak of monsters in Rosby County, and Silverpine Town is also the hardest hit area. I think it is better to let you know. "
When Richard heard this, his heart sank immediately.
"Teacher, is the situation serious?"
Seles nodded and said, "But don't worry too much. I will issue another mission later and arrange for a third-level wizard apprentice to go there." "
Teacher, you still don't need to announce it. It's a new mission. Can I go back by myself?"
"You? With your current strength, there is still a relatively high risk in fighting monsters." Seles dissuaded.
As for Richard, who had great hopes of becoming a master of pharmacy, Seles still hoped that Richard would not go back by himself.
After all, in his eyes, with the strength of Richard's second-level wizard apprentice, it is still easy to encounter danger when fighting monsters.
He didn't want the good young talent he was looking for to die on the way.
"Teacher, I believe I can do it."
For Richard, who had been killing monsters for half a year in the Gray Fern Wilderness, he still had confidence in protecting Silverpine Town from monsters.
"Okay! Then be careful along the way." Seeing that his favorite disciple had already made up his mind, Seles immediately stopped trying to persuade him.
After all, an eagle cannot be raised in a cage.
After walking out of Seles Alchemy Room, Richard originally wanted to say something to Mei Luo before leaving.
But suddenly I remembered that Meiluo had gone on an escort mission with several second-level wizard apprentices in the morning and would not be back until tomorrow.
So, Richard asked Ram to talk to Mei Luo, while he simply packed up his things and set off immediately.
——Only
one new student was seen. When he saw Richard walking out of the gate of Ignis School, he immediately returned to the school and said something to an old student. Then it was like a chain reaction, one by one, and soon, the news was It was passed to the three second-level wizard apprentices of North Ring.
One of these three people was the guy named Lucius Redman who accepted Joakim's mission.
The two people next to him are both his best friends and younger brothers. Lucius Redman may not be considered the peak strength of a second-level wizard apprentice, but he has a contracted creature that has reached the strength of a third-level wizard apprentice, so , he is very confident about the task that Senior Joakim has offered a reward for.
However, his contracted creature needs to be in a swamp environment to be effective in combat. Therefore, the trio's preset battlefield was to ambush in a swamp area at the end of the trail to the west of the silt swamp.
It can't go any further, because any further away will leave the swamp and enter the black forest area. It will be extremely difficult to find another swamp.
When Richard walked along the west path of the school and passed through a dense black leaf forest, he noticed something was wrong on both sides of the path ahead, so he immediately stopped.
In the swamps on both sides of the trail, the water is turbid, with tiny bubbles emerging from time to time.
But Richard's eyes were looking at the bushes at the corner in the distance, and he said in a deep voice: "Come out!"
