Chapter 415, New Skills (Updated Today.)

Manuscript?

Wu Heng's eyes lit up.

The last time I came here, I mentioned to 'Imi Luo' that I wanted information about necromancers and ghost cultivation.

At that time, I wanted to apply for some relevant books from the association, and then I would study them slowly.

Now it seems that Imi Luo directly got an experimental manuscript.

This kind of manuscript records the research process of the mage and the complete process.

For professionals in the mage system, it is a rare item.

Wu Heng took it and thanked him immediately, "Thank you, deacon, I will copy it after I go back and return it to you."

"No, it's useless to me, I'll give it to you. It's considered that you have advanced a third-level merit in advance. Just remember to make up for the merit." Imi Luo said lightly.

Well, it's not for nothing.

But this kind of notebook is indeed worth a third-level merit, or even something that can't be exchanged for merit.

"Got it, Deacon." Wu Heng put it into the space ring directly, and then thought of the reward for the old barrel, and said directly: "Deacon, the old barrel tavern sent me two hundred gold and silver coins, saying that it was a reward for helping to investigate the murderer. I was not in the association at the time, and the assistant asked me to send it to the front desk. I don't know how to deal with this money."

Investigating the murder of 'McIntosh' was originally a task assigned by the deacon.

If I took this money, it would not comply with the procedures of the association.

It's okay if no one knows, but I'm afraid that there will be something else, which will easily give people a handle later.

There are also many people who want to make me step down from the deputy deacon.

Yimi Luo said directly: "You keep one hundred, and give the rest to the association."

"Okay!" Wu Heng nodded.

Seeing that there was nothing else, he left the room directly.

...

Return to his study.

Andvier sat at the desk to organize documents, and the little owl flew around the room, chasing the bees trapped in the room.

"Master, you're back!" Anderweier stood up, brewed a cup of tea and brought it over.

Wu Heng took it, drank a sip, and sat down in his office.

"Weier, go to the front desk and take 100 of the 200 gold coins sent by the old barrel to the deacon, and divide the rest with Team 11 in proportion."

"Okay." Anderweier nodded and walked out directly.

Wu Heng took another sip of tea and took out the notebook he had just received.

The brown outer cover was old and full of creases. After turning it for a long time, the edges had begun to burr.

Gently touching it, the leather was extremely delicate, which made people feel uncomfortable.

When I took it from Yimi Luo, I thought it was very thick.

After opening it, I found that there were only a few pages, but this leather paper was thicker than normal paper.

On this page that I flipped through, I could see many words, patterns, and magic formations drawn with colored pencils.

On one side of the magic formation, some instructions were also marked.

Including some very professional terms such as array pattern, origin, disability, and effect range.

No wonder it is said that every magician is a scholar.

Just for these professional terms, a lot of information needs to be consulted, which is also beyond the grasp of ordinary professions.

Looking at the large amount of content in the manuscript, I feel a sense of awe, and I am amazed that the magicians in this world can open up the path of magic and rituals by using their brains and calculations.

Wu Heng came to this world and read a lot of skill books. He can understand the meaning of the words on them.

He can barely understand it.

...

Wu Heng roughly flipped through it.

When he was about to start from the beginning, the door opened and Andwier came back.

He handed over the remaining purse and said, "Captain Kavina refused for a while before reluctantly accepting it."

Wu Heng put away the purse and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight? Let Minnie prepare it in advance, and we will also improve the food."

Andvier smiled, sat sideways on his legs, and hung her arms on her shoulders, "Master, do you want to introduce a new sister to us tonight?"

Wu Heng looked at her curiously, "How can you be sure it's a sister?"

"The voice is so familiar, and she can come here at night, you can guess it!" Andvier said carefully.

This little fox is quite smart.

Wu Heng shook his head, "Don't worry, she is not ready yet, let's talk about this matter when we have a chance."

"Okay, the master has the final say." Andvier hesitated and stroked the other party's cheek with one hand, "Master, will you not want us?"

Wu Heng was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to have such an idea.

He hugged her waist and held her tightly, "How could it be, Wei'er and Minnie are so good, I want to stay with them forever."

Andwei'er smiled again, "Master is so nice."

...

Back to the residence.

It was just noon.

After having lunch with Minnie, he went directly to the study on the fourth floor.

Took out the manuscript and started reading it carefully from the first page.

From the content recorded in the book.

There are three types of rituals in general.

One is reconnaissance, illusion, and soul attack.

And each type has different forms of rituals and different levels of difficulty.

Rituals are not stable.

After success, the ability of the ghost itself will be improved.

Similarly, there is also the possibility of failure.

If it fails, the ghost may become weak and need to recuperate for a long time before it can come out again.

In more serious cases, there will be intellectual decline, or even return to the form of low-intelligence resentful souls, becoming a monster that can only attack living beings and cannot communicate.

Even more serious is that the ghost dissipates.

That is, death, and the soul is scattered.

"There is still danger!"

Seeing this, Wu Heng's heart tightened. Originally, he thought of improving the ghost, even if it was a lot, it would only lose some materials.

Now it seems that there is still a certain degree of danger.

Fortunately, I didn't try to use the ritual blindly before.

Otherwise, there might be some danger.

Compared to the manuscript owner, who used ghosts to conduct various ritual experiments, Wu Heng and his ghost had a relationship more like that of a family.

Relying on each other, even if they didn't improve, it was good to be able to provide reconnaissance.

There was no need to improve.

"Let's try the rituals that don't have serious consequences first!"

Wu Heng looked at the several rituals in the manuscript and the consequences of failure.

He chose a ritual called 'Spiritual Vision' that would only make him weak.

The effect was not recorded.

He just made some corrections in several failed rituals and recorded the final ritual content.

"Spiritual Vision: Main materials, a pair of eyeballs of a prophet (or eyeballs of an owl), 50 grams of Moon Spirit Sand, auxiliary materials, 5 grams of Yin Fang Grass powder, 10 milliliters of warlock blood (or blood of a living spirit)."

"Magic Array Materials: Blood, Gold Powder."

"Damn it!"

The prophet's eyeball.

...

This is a great start.

Necromancers are hated by people, and rituals require organs of fixed professions.

Moreover, a ritual requires many attempts.

It's a bit scary.

Even if there are replaceable materials.

But the professional eyeball is recorded in the front, which also means that the owner of the manuscript gives priority to the prophet's eyeball.

The following materials are all alchemical and rune materials.

Wu Heng often helps the skeleton alchemist to buy materials, and has seen them in the store.

He also has a reserve of the warlock's blood in the back.

There is enough gold powder.

It meets the materials for the ritual.

Moreover, what I saw was the final version after the manuscript owner's experiment.

The possibility of problems is very small.

...

The mind moved.

Two ghosts flew out.

One on the left and one on the right floated in the air.

Xiaoxiao immediately flew to the tablet next to him, intending to watch cartoons.

Wu Heng said directly: "I found a way to improve the ghosts. I chose a relatively simple ritual."

Xiao Xiao floated back again and asked: "Is it dangerous?"

"The notes say that if the ritual fails, you will be weak for a period of time." Wu Heng replied.

"Are you weak, or are we weak?"

"The ghosts participating in the ritual are weak."

Xiao Xiao asked again, "Then is the improvement big?"

"It should be a certain improvement."

Xiao Xiao thought for a while, turned his head and looked over, "Aunt Glenda, do you want to improve?"

Glenda thought for a while, "I want to improve illusion and telekinesis."

Xiao Xiao clenched her fist, "Then I will do it. I will only be weak for a few days. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Wu Heng smiled, "Don't worry, there will be no problem."

"Okay."

"Then you come back first, I'll go out to buy materials."

The two ghosts nodded and got back into the body.

...

Say hello to Minnie.

Then take a carriage and go to Lighthouse Street.

Enter the largest alchemy material store on the island.

After a simple inquiry.

The boss smiled and said: "Yes, the eyeball of the owl is the material for removing illusions and improving perception potions, but the price is higher."

Hearing that such materials are for sale, he was relieved.

After all, he couldn't dig up the grave of 'McIntosh'.

We met.

"How much?" Wu Heng asked.

"120 silver per piece."

"Give me two, pack them with other materials, and I'll take them away later." Wu Heng paid directly.

Seeing that he was so straightforward, the boss also smiled and agreed, and packed all the materials he bought and handed them over.

Wu Heng put them away, said goodbye to the boss and walked out of the store directly.

He looked for a carriage along the road and took a look at the port.

The port should not be very peaceful these two days.

Guards were arranged all around.

The workers were also moving goods back and forth between the merchant ships.

At this time, Wu Heng saw a figure standing on the docking board of the ship, chatting with a manager of the merchant group.

The man from the Old Barrel Tavern was one of the two people who had led Wu Heng before.

Are they leaving the island?

After McIntosh's death, did the Old Barrel Tavern disband?

Wu Heng just took a look.

He didn't think of going over to say hello.

A carriage passed by.

He got on the carriage and rushed to his residence.

...

After dinner.

The sky outside the window had darkened.

Wu Heng took out all the prepared materials.

Blood and gold powder were mixed in a bowl, and then on the floor of the empty room, he began to draw the formation required for the ceremony according to the records in the manuscript.

It looked a bit cumbersome, but it was not a difficult task for Wu Heng now.

When the last stroke was finished, the entire formation was completely formed.

The aura of the dead spirits emanating from it could be vaguely felt.

Without much delay, the remaining materials were placed in fixed positions according to the quantity and accuracy.

Then he said, "Xiaoxiao, go in!"

Xiaoxiao was a little worried, "Well, then, I'll go in. If something happens, you have to save me."

"It's okay, don't worry." Wu Heng said.

Grenda on the side also said, "If there is a problem, just knock over the ritual materials and it will be interrupted. It's okay."

"Okay!" Xiaoxiao flew directly into the middle of the formation.

As Xiaoxiao entered, the blood-colored formation began to emit visible light, wrapping the materials in the center.

Then, the materials were covered by the blood light.

Like fine sand, they were crushed into energy balls and gathered towards Xiaoxiao in the air.

The next second, Xiaoxiao and the energy ball began to entangle together, like a rotating vortex.

Under the gaze of Wu Heng and Grenda, Xiaoxiao's body absorbed all the energy balls into his body.

And Xiaoxiao also returned to his original appearance.

[Ghost Unlock Skill: Clairvoyance. ]

Successful.

The moment Wu Heng heard the prompt, he was delighted.

It was exactly the same as he guessed.

As long as you follow the final result in the record, there will be no problem.

Xiao Xiao floated in the air in a daze, "Then what?"

"It's done, you can come over." Wu Heng called her back.

The magic circle has failed, the blood has disappeared, leaving only some iron-black fine sand, and the shape of the magic circle can be vaguely seen.

"Finished?"

Wu Heng saw that she was still a little confused, and stretched out three fingers, "What is this?"

"I'm in the senior class, okay."

"What do you say first?"

"3!"

"Then it seems that everything is fine."

"Really, uncle is so bad." Xiao Xiao folded his arms in the air and flew out dissatisfied.

Glenda asked what he felt just now.

Xiao Xiao thought about the words he could express.

Wu Heng opened the Xiao Xiao panel and checked the new skills.

[Spiritual Vision]: This spirit has the ability to detect levels and can identify the level of the unit it is looking at.

Detect levels?

This skill introduction is really straightforward.

In other words, the emphasis on the need for eyeballs in the material is to enhance the ability to detect levels.

Think carefully in your heart.

I can't help but feel a little happy.

In other words, once the war starts, I can use Xiaoxiao to identify the level of the enemy on the battlefield.

Quickly lock some high-level professionals hiding in the crowd.

It's really good.

"Uncle, where is the ability you are talking about? Why can't I find it!" Xiaoxiao discussed with Granda and flew over to ask.

Wu Heng thought for a while and said: "It has strengthened your reconnaissance ability and can see the level of other people. The method of use should be similar to your usual invisibility and visibility. Give it a try."

Xiaoxiao nodded and tried it in the air.

Then, looking at Wu Heng and Glenda, his eyes gradually widened, "I saw it, uncle has a red gas mass, and Aunt Glenda's is light red."

"This should be the level of inspection. My level 15 gas mass is red, and Glenda's is level 10, which is light red." Wu Heng said.

"Oh, can I go out and take a look?" Xiao Xiao was full of interest and joy.

"Go, don't go to the central area."

"Oh, okay!"

Xiao Xiao agreed and flew out directly.

Wu Heng also walked out of the room carefully and walked towards the bedroom on the fourth floor.

...

When hesitating whether to find the little maid to rest together.

Xiao Xiao flew back.

Said: "Uncle, I saw the bald uncle. They are at the port and left the port on a small boat."

"The bald man in the old barrel?"

"Well, several of them have already left."

Leaving the island?

Old Wooden Barrel is no longer in business?

Leaving quietly in the middle of the night.

"Let me see."

Xiao Xiao got into the body.

A picture was shared instantly.

In a hidden location outside the port, a total of six people were preparing to leave on a small boat.

And under the effect of 'spiritual vision'.

The light balls on the bodies of several people were extremely dazzling in the dark night.

Among the six people, five had a light red light, and one wore a cloak mask, and the light on his body was extremely bright red.

Level 15 professional.

Old Wooden Barrel still has strong people.
