Chapter 21 Manipulating Skeletons (Please Read On)
There's no way around it!
In the end, Richard used four of the five regular books, namely "Introduction to Dark Energy Particles", "Three Basic Applications of Dark Energy Particles", "Human Osteology" and "Common Animal Osteology".
Richard can finally understand now, no wonder why a considerable number of freshmen have only learned one or two tricks after coming to the school for half a year!
Who would have thought that tricks also have prefixes! !
A first-level wizard apprentice needs to learn a lot of course knowledge every day. In addition, he also has to spend time earning points.
If some students also want to study other subjects such as pharmacy, human body modification, etc., their time schedule will be even more full.
so.
Although there is still one book left in the borrowing quota, Richard no longer intends to use it.
The zero-level witchcraft [Grasp of Shadow] alone involves learning so much prerequisite content, so you should go step by step.
Richard still understands the principle of biting off more than he can chew.
After a long time, Richard looked through it again to make sure that there was no such thing as front-end, then he went downstairs to the counter and registered.
"Eh, Grasp of Shadow?" The old man was very surprised this time, looked up at Richard, and said:
"Newcomer, are you sure you want to borrow this book? For a first-level wizard apprentice, it is too difficult to master the Grasp of Shadow."
"I suggest you change it, otherwise it will be a waste of a magic stone to change it again."
Richard knew that the old man meant well, but he had an inspiration panel nearby, so he was naturally different from others.
"Thank you for your concern, but I still want to try!"
The old man shook his head and immediately stopped persuading.
"Well, the total of two magic stones, witchcraft books and ordinary books must be returned within a month. All books are not allowed to be taken out of the school's residence!"
Before Richard left, the old man murmured to himself: "The new people recruited by the school now are really inferior to each other, with high ambitions and low hands."
As soon as Richard returned to the dormitory, apart from eating, sleeping and attending classes, he basically spent the rest of his time studying "Human Osteology", "Common Animal Osteology", "Basics of Mental Power Control" and the sleight of hand "Manipulation of Skeletons". on this book.
A few days later, Richard, who looked haggard, finally straightened up with a happy face and stretched his sore waist and legs.
In the past few days, he had endured the after-effects of the Swiftness Potion while studying day and night. He finally finished studying the common sense book "Basics of Mental Power Control" and basically figured out how to perform the "Control Bones" trick.
It's not that Richard likes self-study, but he has already finished "Basics of Mental Power Control".
I have no choice but to study on my own.
Fortunately, general knowledge books are not very difficult to learn.
Now, he still needs one more necessary thing to be able to perform the trick of [Skeleton Control].
As the name suggests, to control skeletons, you must first have a skeleton for you to control.
Therefore, the skeleton required to perform magic-level witchcraft is called a witchcraft medium. Only with this medium can witchcraft be performed normally.
For Richard, if it is just for practice and not for fighting, then all he needs now is just an ordinary animal or human skeleton.
"Dong dong dong!"
A knock on the door interrupted Richard's thoughts. When he opened the door, he saw that it was Mei Luo.
Mei Luo seemed to be a little worried, so she forced a smile and said, "Richard, for this mission [Cleaning up Crystal Web Spiders], Hans has already submitted a completion certificate at the counter of the mission area after he came back.
One day ago, the school adjusted this task into a repeatable task, so in this case, the six crystal web spiders we cleaned up can be counted as completing two cleaning tasks, and we received a total reward of 40 points and 40 magic stones.
If the four of us divide it equally, each of us can get 10 points and 10 magic stones.
There are also 9 balls of crystal web spider silk and some other bits and pieces that Hans sold, totaling 32 magic stones. Each of us can divide 8 more magic stones. "
When Mei Luo said this, Richard looked happy. He was worried that the three magic stones left in his hand might not be enough to buy witchcraft media.
But I didn't expect that another magic stone would arrive in my account so soon. Senior Mei Luo is really my lucky star!
"However, since a member of the team died in battle, the school will deduct all the proceeds for pensions." Mei Luo seemed a little embarrassed to say it, and her voice became softer and softer.
Richard's face turned dark instantly! I was speechless for a moment.
After working on it for a long time, senior sister, you turned out to be waiting for me here!
No wonder Mei Luo looked embarrassed. Not only did Richard take risks in this mission, but he also received zero profit.
No matter who you change, no one will be angry!
However, when Richard thought of Mei Luo who ignored the danger last time and used the precious alchemy bomb Ice Bite to rescue him, he felt much calmer and said softly:
"It's okay, senior sister. You couldn't expect this situation to happen."
"By the way, senior sister, I'm learning the [Skeleton Control] trick, but the book says that it requires a witchcraft medium to perform it, is that true?"
"Huh? Richard, you started learning tricks so quickly!" Mei Luo looked at Richard with a surprised look on her face.
"But it does require a magical medium. I practiced this trick a lot last year, but I rarely practice it now."
"By the way, you don't have any bones for practice, right? I'll get mine for you." Mei Luo reacted instantly and said.
Huh! Richard didn't expect such an unexpected surprise.
"Haha, that's great, thank you Meiluo!"
Although Meiluo is a bit sentimental, she is really enthusiastic about Richard. With Meiluo around, Richard can do many things very conveniently.
After a while, Meiluo came back with a bag in her hand and handed it to Richard.
"Richard, this is the skeleton of a quasi-knight. After preliminary purification and strengthening, it is a good witchcraft medium. At least it is enough for you to practice the trick of controlling the skeleton!"
"Thank you Meiluo, I won't be polite!" Richard said happily.
This is really a bright future.
Richard thought that there might be some problems in purchasing witchcraft media due to the shortage of magic stones this time, but he didn't expect that the skeleton of a quasi-knight would be in his hands so quickly.
The two chatted for a while, and not long after, Meiluo seemed to think of something important, so she left in a hurry.
Richard put the bulging bag on the table and opened it. It was indeed a bag full of human skeletons.
The bones were as white as jade, so they must have been processed in some way. I don't know how much magic stones such a skeleton is worth in the trading area, but it must be expensive.
Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. Since the witchcraft medium is also ready, Richard decided to start practicing the magic trick [Manipulating Skeletons] immediately.
