Chapter 983 Invisible Servant

After flipping through the last periodical on the desk, Joann returned a pile of documents to the administrator. He wanted to go to the cafeteria for lunch, but for some reason, his legs didn't work, and he walked upstairs to the spell scroll borrowing room on his own initiative.

After arriving on the second floor, Qiao An decided to just look around and not spend money randomly.

But looking at it, for some reason, Hu Lai's right hand clicked on the borrowing interface on his own initiative.

When Qiao An suddenly became alert, Hu Lai's right hand had already selected three spell scrolls without authorization.

This is the end of the matter, if you exit the borrowing interface and expose your petty temperament in front of everyone, it will be too shameful.

Anyway, I have chosen them all, why not borrow these three scrolls and copy them again. After all, they are all spells carefully selected by "Hu Lai's right hand". They are both interesting and practical, and worth investing in.

Qiao An originally wanted to be frugal and manage the house, and he would not die if he learned a few spells, but there was no way to do something wrong with his right hand, and he couldn't chop off his hand.

Forget it this time, start saving money tomorrow, you must do what you say!

Thinking of this, Joan muttered "Don't be an example", turned around and walked to the counter, swiped 7 credit cards, and got a 1-ring spell scroll and two 3-ring spell scrolls from the administrator.

Joan held the spell scroll, and the idea of ​​going to lunch had long been thrown out of the sky, and she walked back to the reading room with dancing brisk steps.

He took an empty seat by the window and rolled up his shirt sleeves in a solemn, almost religious manner. The cuffs are folded three times from the bottom up, with each crease exactly an inch apart.

Next, he laid out the stationery and spell books on the desk, placing them in their proper places, as if they had been measured with a vernier caliper.

Qiao An didn't intend to set rules for himself and make trouble, it was purely an instinctive compulsion.

During Joan's adventures in the wild, sometimes it was inconvenient to place tables and chairs, so he sat on the ground, put the spell book on his knees, and buried himself in copying the newly acquired spells. After a long time, it was inevitable that his back would ache.

In contrast, being able to sit in a library with bright and clean windows and copy spell scrolls without interference is a rare and happy experience for him, and it is not too solemn.

The first scroll Joan borrowed today recorded a spell called "Invisible Servant".

When he was still studying at Leiden Academy last year, he had seen this 1st ring spell in the Arcane Library.

After the spell is cast, a servant that is invisible to outsiders can be created, but in the eyes of the caster himself, the servant formed by the condensed magic power actually has a vague outline and a nearly transparent body, which looks like a reflection in water.

During the duration of the spell, this "invisible servant" can provide some simple services for the caster, such as serving tea and pouring water, cleaning tables and sweeping the floor.

The "invisible servant" has no self-awareness, can only passively accept the master's orders, and cannot complete more complicated tasks, so Qiao An felt that this spell was useless and not worth spending money to copy.

Now, however, his mind has changed.

During her recuperation at the Baden Hot Springs, Joann didn't spend much time in the hot springs, and spent most of her time in the laboratory.

Since he was working alone, he had to take care of all the chores in the laboratory, including cleaning and cleaning test tubes, which wasted a lot of time and energy.

Joan needs a lab assistant to help him with these chores.

It is difficult for a lonely person like him to get along well with others. Besides, he frequently used the "power of myth" and "rune runes" during his work, so he had to keep them strictly confidential. If outsiders were present, there would inevitably be a lot of inconvenience .

Joan felt that instead of taking the risk of leaking secrets and spending money to hire a laboratory assistant, it would be better to cast a spell to create a servant who could truly reassure him.

Obviously, "Invisible Servant" is the most suitable spell for him.

The next two third-level spells that Joan copied were "Track Dance" and "Secondary True Sighting".

"Track Dance" is a divination school spell, which is used to divination the location and living status of a specified creature.

Before casting this spell, one needs to take a piece of white paper and cut it into a paper figurine, then write the exact name of the creature to be divined on the chest of the paper figurine, and finally draw a circle with a radius of about five feet on the ground.

After completing the above preparations, place the paper figurine in the center of the circle and start chanting the incantation.

When the spell is successfully completed, the paper figurine will be activated by the magic power, as if it has gained life, and dance around the circle for a full minute.

After this, the paper man will fall on the edge of the circle, like a pointer on a dial, with its head pointing to the location of the creature the caster is looking for at this moment.

In addition, some words that the caster can understand will appear on the back of the paper figurine, revealing the physical state of the target at the moment, whether it is healthy, injured, dying, dead, or under the control of some magical effect, such as being petrified, Or being turned into a chicken, etc.

If the object you are looking for is dead at this time, then the direction pointed by the paper figurine is where the creature's bones are located.

If the object you are looking for is not only dead, but also burned to ashes, thrown away randomly, or is no longer in this plane, and the spell cannot give a clear direction, then the paper figurine will fall with its head inside the circle instead of pointing out .

Not long ago in Hot Springs, Joann assisted famous detective Ted Pinkerton in investigating a serial murder at the edge of the wetlands.

During this period, he discovered that some magic can play a key role in the process of tracing the truth, and then became very interested in the subject of "how to use magic to improve criminal investigation technology".

When I checked the spell catalog just now, I saw the introduction of "Track Dance", and immediately realized that it was a criminal investigation spell similar to "Message of Blood".

Especially when looking for missing persons or fugitive suspects, the "Track Dance" combined with the "Blood Message" can obtain many valuable clues and provide great convenience for follow-up investigations.

Joan was also touched by the case he had personally experienced in Hot Spring Town for the third ring "Secondary True Sight" that he finally chose, and felt that it was necessary to learn this spell.

As the name suggests, "Less True Sighting" is a shortened version of the 6th-level "True Sighting". The caster blesses this spell for himself, and can see through all illusions and disguises caused by low-level magic and supernatural powers, thereby avoiding being deceived.

The mastermind behind the serial murders in Hot Springs, Harry Kaufman, was able to frequently lure the lecherous to seek their own death, relying on the supernatural ability of the "half shapeshifter" to change his image at will. Pretend to be someone else's identity.

When the case was about to be solved, when the detective, the sheriff, and Joan himself all had doubts about Harry Kaufman, it was Professor Moriarty who provided the means to expose Harry Kaufman's true face. "True Seeing".
