"Haha! Let's start from the dwarf tower closest to the capital. The good days of promotion and advancement have arrived!"
"I've arrived, Dwarven Tower! Hmm? Why is the tower deserted..."
……
……
"...A divine being!"
After reading the necromancer's incomplete last words, the mark disappeared, and Latis couldn't help but complain:
"To have lived to this extent is truly exceptional..."
However, it must be admitted that this guy is indeed quite something; he figured out necromancy before he starved to death underground...
"But we're better off without this kind of talent!"
Latis scratched his head, feeling that the life of this mage named Nowuru was really too strange. Although his talent was indeed good, his luck was so bad that it was as if he had been cursed.
"Perhaps this is what a mage who strives for excellence throughout his life is like..."
He didn't understand it, but he was deeply shocked.
Suddenly, Latis felt something new in his soul. Startled, he quickly immersed his consciousness back into it.
"Stop making me dig into my soul hemorrhoids..." he complained as he checked himself, and soon he found out what the extra thing was.
Several new spells have appeared in his spell list:
"First-circle spell - Necromancer: Within the casting range, infuse necromantic magic to randomly generate undead. The size and strength of the undead depend on the current circle level used."
"Third Ring Spell - Necrowing: An improved version of the flight spell, with the option to change the appearance to "Demon Wings" or "Invisibility Wings".
"Third Ring Spell - Necromancer's Nightmare: Weaves a nightmare into the target's mind, in which the target will be surrounded by skeletons and will be inflicted with fear and self-harm tendencies. Physical damage that the target inflicts on themselves will be reflected back to the target."
The corresponding spell was immediately synchronized to Latis's spellbook. He gasped, quickly stabilizing his magic network before muttering to himself:
"I... I've really become a necromancer?"
Although Yashutia had given him a list of materials for necromancy not long ago, those materials were quite bloody, and he thought he wouldn't be studying necromancy in the short term. Unexpectedly, he accidentally obtained necromancy from a necromancer during this mission.
Of course, this might be because, unlike in the simulation, the necromancer didn't secretly recover for a whole day, and the magic network of Silverpath Town lost stability due to Torso's props, which gave the necromancer the opportunity to preserve his research.
He took a deep breath, reached out his hand, and tentatively called out:
"Necromancer summoning?"
The spellbook at his waist immediately flipped to the "Necromancer Summoning" page, and the magic runes instantly took shape. However, just as he was about to infuse magic power, Latis felt a movement in the magic power within his body, and then he got stuck.
"Why can't I shoot it out?" He scratched his head, looked at the magic book that had closed automatically, and closed his eyes to sense it for a while.
A few minutes later, Latis opened his eyes and murmured in realization:
"So that's it..."
It turned out that although he had been absorbing all types of magic energy perfectly, there was no necromantic magic energy in Norard, a place filled with magic networks. So when he tried to infuse necromantic magic, it was like talking about having no chicken—he couldn't shoot it out.
He could naturally use magic of other attributes to cast necromancy, but the effect was hard to say. Perhaps the necromancy summoning would turn into a tree spirit summoning, and if he summoned a forest fairy named Billy King, things would be very bad.
Therefore, there is no need to try it. All other schools of magic are readily available on the magic network. There is no need to risk the magic book exploding by doing such a thing.
"Okay, it seems we won't be able to use it for a while."
Latis stood up, stretched, and muttered:
"Besides being produced naturally, the only places where necromantic energy can accumulate in large quantities are places like graveyards or battlefields where there are many dead people... I don't want to go to such places to cultivate for the time being."
He was about to turn and leave when he suddenly stopped, stroked his chin, gasped, and muttered:
"No way... there can't be a loophole here too..."
Latis rubbed his forehead and, with an uncertain feeling, connected to the Magic Network. Instead of logging into the Cyber Police backend, he went directly to the "I Sell My Ditch in Atlantis" portal and found the Magic Network points he had earned from completing the annual mission.
"Issuing a commission, not this...Unlocking the spell...not this either."
His gaze followed the function list downwards and then settled on the "Retrieve Magic Elements" section.
He clicked on it, and a densely packed list instantly appeared before his eyes.
Wind magic element, lightning magic element, water magic element...
Different types of magic essences have different prices depending on their scarcity. The more niche and scarce the type, the more expensive it is. Magic essences that everyone can use are practically given away for free.
Latis glanced around but didn't see what he was looking for. Just as he was about to exit, he suddenly felt his magic network fluctuate slightly, and then necromantic magic appeared in the list.
"I'm super..."
He felt a chill run down his spine for a moment, and subconsciously recited:
"This is a capital offense..."
……
……
The next morning.
The robin, carrying its schoolbag, hopped out of the room and looked at Latis, who had dark circles under his eyes, in the hallway. It asked in surprise:
"Big brother, didn't you sleep well? Why, why are you like this?"
"It's nothing." Latis, who had been meditating all night, felt incredibly refreshed, as if he were about to ascend to heaven. He grinned, stepped forward, took the robin's little hand, and said:
"Come on, I'll take you to school!"
"oops!"
The robin shuddered, her hair standing on end. She looked at Latis's hand, her face flushing crimson. But the dazed Latis had already pulled her forward, and the robin could only hurry to catch up, muttering under her breath:
"I'm not a child anymore... Besides, you have to go to school too, big brother, and I'm your senior..."
"What senior?" Latis said nonchalantly as he walked ahead. "I have no interest in 'For Your Sake'. Who cares about any senior? The entire Bogu Academy is not as important as you."
"W-what?!"
Robin felt steam rising from her head again. She quickly lowered her head and her steps became unsteady, but Latis's steady pace remained unchanged. Helplessly dragged along for two steps, she had no choice but to force herself to come back to her senses and quicken her pace again.
"Really, brother, really..."
……
……
"Principal, why are you here?"
The staff member looked at Fisherman, who was walking around with a cage of mechanical birds, and said irritably:
"If there's nothing else, could you please move aside? You're blocking the apprentices' sunlight."
"Hey Chao, who do you think you are to talk to me like that?!"
Fisherman cursed angrily and walked over to the staff member with the birdcage.
"Thank you, Principal, but please don't block my light." The staff member closed the evaluation book, turned around, and shouted to the audience with his back to Fisherman:
"Is all the equipment complete? Make sure the recording and testing equipment is in place before letting the apprentices in!"
"Hey, why aren't you talking to me?" Fisherman patted the staff member on the shoulder and asked.
"How many students have returned? Have the projects all restarted?"
“Principal Fisherman,” the staff member turned back, offering a polite smile, and said.
"Speak your mind, don't cause trouble. You can easily find this kind of thing by logging onto the Magic Network, right?"
"Hehe, it's because you're ignoring me."
Fisherman picked up the birdcage, teased the mechanical bird inside, and raised his chin, saying:
"Take a look at my latest mechanical bird! It's 15 centimeters long and has a 20-centimeter wingspan. It's equipped with a second-generation Magic Network smart chip... Hey, don't go yet! I haven't finished!"
The staff member turned around, nodded politely, opened the evaluation booklet, drew a stroke, and said:
"Principal, I almost forgot until you said something. To avoid magic resonance between the instruments, containers with high magic density are not allowed to remain in the testing area. Could you please leave for a moment? Thank you."
"I...blanch it!"
Fisherman pointed at the staff member in frustration, but since the family would fall apart without him, he had no choice but to stop swearing. He turned around angrily to leave, but suddenly saw two figures at the edge of the testing area. His eyes lit up and he ran over excitedly.
……
"Principal Fisherman got scolded again."
The robin obediently held Latis's hand, hiding in the shadows of the research building. Seeing Fisherman's discomfiture, she felt a little flustered herself, shook Latis's hand, and muttered under her breath:
"That staff member was supposedly the teacher of Principal Fisherman's son. Because the principal's son had setbacks in his magical studies and went abroad, he always believed that Principal Fisherman was too obsessed with hobbies, which led to the principal's son's poor resilience and the failure of his teaching."
"It's a bit fragile to run away abroad after just one setback."
Latis shook his head, then suddenly remembered the unfortunate necromancer's last words from the previous night, paused for a moment, and changed his words:
"But in this society, it's normal... There are even people who are driven to death by the emergence of their own new generation of mages! Little bird, we should take this as a warning, remain humble and focused, do our best in our own work, and not compare ourselves to others. Although we are poor, we should be poor with ambition..."
As the robin listened to Latis's earnest teachings, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. For some reason, he found himself enjoying the lecture from his elder brother.
After experiencing those ups and downs, she has come to deeply cherish this kind of life.
"Hey, Robin, and you too, when did you get back?"
Fisherman, carrying the birdcage, strode up to the two of them, too lazy to even say an opening, and went straight into his rapid-fire introduction:
"This mechanical bird is 15 centimeters long with a wingspan of 20 centimeters. It is equipped with a second-generation magic network smart chip and has a small cavity with a diameter of 10 centimeters inside, which can be used to store and place various small magical artifacts. Moreover, thanks to my careful research, its internal space is not affected by external magic conditions..."
Latis and the robin exchanged a glance, then instinctively squeezed each other's hands and couldn't help but laugh.
Chapter 229 Minors Should Not Access the Magic Network
"They say that as long as you can create a stable new material based on existing materials, you can pass the personal ability test..."
There was no smile on Tu Mugou's weathered face. He was twenty years old and had been shoveling cement in the village for thirty years. His heart was as cold as the cement bucket under his feet. Only the intense stirring during the shoveling process could warm his heart.
He glanced around at the other apprentices in the testing area. This group of apprentices were basically brought over at the same time as him. Most of those who did not pass the entrance exam for the three schools directly and needed to take additional tests were residents of villages and towns. Residents from cities would not be reduced to needing to take additional tests.
Today, only about four or five apprentices took the test with him. The rest of the unprepared apprentices will take the test one after another over the next few days, and they will leave Lundia in disappointment once they are confirmed to be unable to enroll.
However, Tu Mugou was confident in his abilities. Although he wasn't the only one on the field preparing to fight, and compared to other apprentices testing structural processes or alloy properties, he didn't have any particular advantage in any particular area, he had already gained enlightenment after carefully reading the bible given to him by the owner of Herod Magic Item Shop.
