Chapter 22 The first trick (please read it later)
poured all the bones on the ground in the center of the room. Richard awkwardly recited the incantation about the trick [Skeleton Control] according to the book, and at the same time tilted his palms Pointing to the pile of bones.
A few seconds later, several bone sticks in the pile of bones moved slightly and then returned to calm. Obviously, the control failed!
[It was discovered that the host was performing magic tricks to control skeletons. Did/does it consume energy to gain inspiration for controlling skeletons with magic tricks? ]
"No!"
He chose No without hesitation. After all, it was his first time to use it, so Richard was not discouraged.
It would be strange if it was successfully performed in one go.
Immediately afterwards, Richard tried several more times. The best time was when a few bones floated up. But when he was about to build the skeleton frame, it shook a few more times and fell back to the ground.
hiss! A trick is so difficult!
After using it seven or eight times, none of them succeeded!
But the biggest problem is that maybe because Richard only has 3.9 mental strength, he actually feels a little tired after several attempts.
So, Richard stopped, frowned and began to think.
I think it's because my total mental power is low. Although the mental power consumed by performing a trick [Skeleton Control] is only about 0.3.
But thinking about himself, he only has 3.9 mental power in total, and after more than ten times, he will be close to the limit.
You must know that if you consume too much mental energy, you will fall into a coma!
In fact, Richard also knew that there was no way to quickly recover his mental power. Many medicines could solve this problem and speed up his cultivation.
But at present, he is short of money and has only three magic stones left. He has no money to buy a mental recovery potion to increase the number of times he can practice this trick.
Richard clenched his fists and frowned. It seemed that he couldn't do it without using inspiration.
Before, he thought that manipulating skeletons was just a low-level trick, and given his situation, it shouldn't be difficult to get started.
Naturally, you can save energy points as much as you can, and use them for the extremely difficult Rodrigo Meditation Method and the Grasp of Shadow!
After all, my energy points were not brought by the strong wind, but were obtained with great difficulty at the risk of my life.
Originally, his plan was to rely on his own abilities to learn how to control skeletons without consuming energy points.
Then, after a few days of studying the prerequisite courses of the meditation method, consume energy points to quickly increase the level of control of Rodrigo's meditation method.
Finally, spend all the energy points on improving the zero-level witchcraft Shadow Grip!
But now it seems that the plan did not change quickly. I misestimated the difficulty of the trick, or overestimated my wizard qualifications. It seems that I can't do it without consuming energy points.
Because, according to his current learning speed, if he wanted to learn the trick of manipulating skeletons, Richard initially estimated that he would not be able to do it in more than a month.
As for the degree of control of [Skeleton Manipulation], only after reaching the proficiency level can subsequent learning be started - that is, learning the zero-level witchcraft Shadow Grip.
So, Richard decided to consume energy and quickly improve his magic skills to control the skeleton.
[It was discovered that the host was performing magic tricks to control skeletons. Did/does it consume energy to gain inspiration for controlling skeletons with magic tricks? 】
This time, looking at the numbers 1 and 3505 at both ends of the slide bar, Richard thought for a moment and decided to drag the slide bar to 100 to try the effect, and selected "Yes!" In an instant, Richard felt like his soul came out
. As if out of nowhere, I came to an illusory dream. This time the scene in the dream was in a dark cemetery. He was possessed by a rickety figure who was bending over to place the pelvis of a skeleton. The blurry figure chanted the spell to control the skeleton loudly over and over again.
Richard suddenly had an idea. It turned out that his pronunciation of the spell had been non-standard in one way or another.
You must know that only accurate pronunciation of spells can allow your spiritual power to activate the witchcraft medium according to a certain mysterious law, thereby achieving the desired effect.
This is how you should recite the mantra!
Immediately afterwards, Richard realized that mental power was like a small thin thread that could build all the bones one by one in a specific order like building blocks!
Over and over again, suddenly, Richard realized something like an enlightenment!
It turns out that we need to build the lower body skeleton first, a total of 62 pieces, then the torso, and finally the skull.
Got it!
As Richard's body trembled slightly, his soul returned to his body again!
When Richard came back to his senses, he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. The difference between before and after the inspiration was triggered was so huge.
Before, he had been practicing as hard as Monk Zhang Er was confused, but now, he has all the key points of the skeleton manipulation trick in his mind!
Sure enough, when Richard performed the trick of controlling the skeleton again, the whole process became much smoother.
With the pile of bones as the center, all the bones were attracted by Richard's mental power and floated in the air. During the vibration of the spell, the feet, legs, torso, etc. of a skeleton were built one by one.
A few seconds later, a complete skeleton stood in front of Richard.
Seeing the successful scene in front of him, Richard smiled with satisfaction, the corners of his mouth raised, and he was in a good mood.
At this time, Richard tried further, using an invisible mental tentacle to control the skeleton to move forward.
I saw the whole skeleton taking steps in a very uncoordinated manner. It couldn't be said that they had the same hands and feet, but it just looked very awkward.
Obviously, with his current level of control over magic, Richard estimated that his magic could be used to scare ordinary people.
After all, it is so uncoordinated that it may not even be able to defeat the stronger militiamen, and has no fighting power at all!
Bring up the panel and take a look:
[Name]: Richard Clavell
[Attributes]: Strength 2.1, Agility 2.4, Constitution 2.2, Spirit 3.9
[Witchcraft]: Skeleton control (37% entry level)
[Skill]: Clavell breathing method (Proficient 2%), Cornell Swordsmanship (Proficient 8%), Crossbow (Proficient 31%, Secret Skill: Short Bow Rapid Fire)
[Short Bow Rapid Fire: In a short period of time, it consumes a lot of physical energy to continuously shoot arrows quickly and accurately. Special skills require a short bow. 】
[Energy Points]: 3405
Sure enough, in the newly added witchcraft column, the trick I just mastered to control the skeleton is only 37% of the entry-level level. It cannot yet allow the skeleton to perform smooth daily actions, let alone other complex ones. Action.
Richard rubbed his temples, which were already swollen. Knowing that this was a reaction of excessive physical and mental energy consumption, he immediately decided not to practice anymore.
I have been working hard for several days and nights, and I really should take a good rest. Only by combining work and rest can we get twice the result with half the effort!
That night, Richard snored loudly and had no dreams all night!
When he woke up again, he looked at the copper clock on his desk and found that the time had reached around ten o'clock the next morning.
Oh my god, that's almost fourteen hours of sleep!
This sleep can be said to be a twilight sleep, but after waking up, the effect is also very good, the whole person feels refreshed!
So, Richard decided to strike while the iron was hot and continued to practice tricks to control skeletons.
[It was discovered that the host was performing magic tricks to control skeletons. Did/does it consume energy to gain inspiration for controlling skeletons with magic tricks? 】
Richard thought for a moment, then dragged the slider to 200 and selected "Yes!"
He planned to work hard to raise the level of control of this trick to another level.
