Chapter 270 The Road to Legend

Northern Continent, Ice Castle Research Center.

"Record, Mechanical Undead Promotion Experiment 132."

"Undead Creature: Skeleton Warrior."

"Level: Director Level."

"Plan: Mechanical Heart Rune Device, External Mechanical Armor, Soul Fusion Rune..."

Boras wore a fat ghost robe, the hem dragging on the floor, and on his crystal head, two red lights stared at the restraint platform in front of him.

On the restraint platform made of a whole piece of tibia, a skeleton with no cover was firmly fixed by several bone claws.

Half of its body was covered by a heavy mechanical body, and the empty space under the ribs on its chest was now installed with a shiny mechanical heart rune device.

In the dark eye sockets, the red light flickered, and the mouth opened wide, struggling silently.

"Boras, its state is a little unstable..."

Annep wore a pair of monocles, the glasses were slightly protruding, and the delicate mechanical gears rotated slowly, observing the state of the skeleton warrior.

"There are some problems, but they are not big." Bolas said with a clattering sound: "But I always believe that the mechanical undead must be skeleton-type."

"Neither of them is the best choice..."

"I admit that the little guy Wei En is very smart, but his direction is not conducive to the evolution of the undead world."

"Compared with creatures such as zombies, ghouls, and ghosts, the largest number of undead creatures in the undead world are still skeletons."

"Whether it is skeleton warriors, skeleton wizards, or more powerful skeleton knights and bone dragons, those are the undead creatures that are most suitable for mechanized transformation."

"Once the skeleton-type mechanical undead is successful, it will definitely make the entire undead world undergo earth-shaking changes..."

Annep looked at Bolas who was talking endlessly and chattering, and felt speechless for the first time.

He never thought that Bolas would value mechanical undead so much, and what he didn't expect was that the vice-chairman of the Ghost School would "plagiarize" other people's unfinished topics...

Although almost all research centers of the entire Ghost School are adding mechanical undead topics, they are the Ice Castle Research Center.

It is the second largest research center of the Ghost School, besides the Taboo Research Center led by Chief Waklav Samuel Kapo.

Shouldn't it be studying the changes in the red moon's radiance, the fusion of origin characteristics, and even topics such as the power of faith and the origin of gods?

"Bolas, sorry, I have to interrupt you..."

"Hmm?"

"I need to remind you that there is no clear direction for this topic at present. Well... that is, before the initiator of the topic, Wizard Wayne, announces the end of the research..."

"Even if you research all, according to the rules of the school, these achievements will still be counted on him. Do you understand what I mean?"

Bolas turned around and looked at him, "Annep, you don't think I'm doing this for myself, do you?"

Annep subconsciously looked in other directions, which was self-evident.

"Kaka..."

Bolas opened his mouth and laughed, "You don't understand, you won't understand, the current undead world, that is..."

At this point, he paused abruptly, looked at Anep and closed his two rows of teeth.

"What's wrong?" Anep also looked at him, "Is there something wrong with the world of the dead?"

"You will understand it sooner or later. I value the power of the world of the dead more than the title of project leader..."

"Oh." Anep did not comment.

"Sooner or later..."

Bolas shook his head, turned his head and continued to stare at the mechanical skeleton, and said stiffly: "It seems that the soul-melting rune must be combined with the immortal body."

"It seems that the subsequent experiments have to be stopped first, and I still need to find a replacement rune."

"Is that so..." Anep's dark and deep eyes flashed with red light, "Then wait, after all, Director Wei En has not submitted the subsequent project report yet."

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Huh? Someone actually came to disturb your research project..."

"Come in."

Amitage pushed the door in and saluted respectfully.

"What's the matter?" Bolas did not look back, and the faintly rising original power covered the entire laboratory.

"Yes, it's about the wizard Wayne."

"Oh?"

Armitage glanced at Anep beside him, then took out a piece of parchment and handed it directly to Boras.

"Take a look at this."

Boras turned around and looked at him, then took the parchment and glanced at it.

"Oh? He found out?"

Sure enough.

Armitage did not respond. He knew in his heart that the legendary Salvatore appeared at Wayne's place, and Deputy Chairman Boras knew about it.

"What happened?" Anep looked around and asked.

"Nothing," Boras put away the parchment and said with a click: "He killed a big pirate on Alexei Island and noticed Armitage's arrangement there."

"Big pirate? Wasn't he being chased by the Saint of the Church of Dawn? Why did he stay there?"

"Maybe he has his own ideas, that little guy..."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Armitage stood silently aside, like a qualified background board.

Obviously, only Legend Boras knew that Legend Salvatore Samuel Capo appeared on Alexei Island.

At this time, silence is golden.

"... You continue to pay attention, and by the way, let the Shadow Intelligence Officer in charge of Alexei Island pay more attention to him."

"Understood."

Armitage saluted and turned to leave the laboratory.

Bolas and Anep looked at each other, but neither spoke first.

As if they had discovered each other's little secret.

Buzz buzz buzz...

Just then, the black communicator next to him rang.

Annep seemed relieved and said, "Bolas, someone is looking for you."

"Deputy Boras, internal number 337, Wizard Wayne Loft requests to establish a connection channel with you, do you want to..."

"Come in, Annette." Boras looked deeply at Anep and turned to look at the black communicator.

"As you wish..."

Not long after, Wayne's young face appeared in the center of the virtual screen.

"What's the matter?"

Wayne on the other side looked at the two skeletons in the picture, oh no, three.

There was another skeleton lying on the restraint table, with traces of mechanical transformation on his body.

Wayne raised his eyebrows. Is this a research project on mechanical undead?

I didn't expect that Deputy Boras was also doing it.

Skeleton...it's also a good development.

But now there is something to talk about.

"Good afternoon, Vice President Boras, Legend Anep."

"I was just talking about you, I didn't expect you to contact us," Anep laughed, "What's the matter?"

Talking about me?

Wayne didn't know what they were talking about, was it related to the mechanical undead subject?

"Excuse me, I wonder if the school has contacted the Spirit Mystic School recently?"

"Spirit Mystic?"

Boras snapped his fingers twice, and asked in a calm tone, "Did you find any problems?"

"It's like this..."

Then Wayne told the story of borrowing nightmare worms to send letters, and then finding that the place was blocked and the nightmare world intervened.

"Maybe I'm suspicious, but there were no problems with sending letters several times before, but there was a problem this time, so..."

"Block the entrance to the nightmare world..."

The two skeleton wizards, Boras and Anep, looked at each other and saw that there was no expression on each other's faces.

"Annep, contact Chief Ragnar right now."

"I'll go right away."

Then, Wayne saw a skeleton wizard appear on the virtual screen, and his heart moved slightly.

It seems that his suspicion is correct, something may have really happened at Lingmi.

It's just a matter involving a wizard school, what kind of person could have caused it?

After a few seconds of silence, Boras looked at Wayne in the screen, with a red light flashing in his eyes, and asked: "Have you studied the notes I gave you last time?"

"I'm studying, but the content is quite a lot, and for the time being, I only meet the conditions for promotion to the Great Wizard."

Wayne did not hide it, he did reach the critical point for promotion to the Great Wizard.

Not only did the number and level of spells meet the standards, but even the two talents reached the entry level.

"Meet the promotion conditions?"

Boras's body paused obviously, and it was only a few hours away from the transaction.

Is this enough?

It seems that the little guy has an extraordinary talent in spells, or in runes.

"The mystical wizard system is the foundation of the ghost school, and it is also the basis for us to survive after the origin of wizards in the Third Age."

Bolas said stiffly: "Whether it is the battle between wizard schools in the middle and late Third Age or the dark period of the Fourth Age, the mystical wizards have played an important role."

"I can't say more about the details. When you return to the school, you can view those relics of the era."

"Yes."

Wayne bowed slightly and said solemnly: "Thank you for the teachings of Vice Chairman Boras."

"This is nothing, but I still want to remind you of one thing. That is, after you are promoted to a great wizard, you will face a choice."

"Choice?"

Bolas did not explain immediately, but flicked his white fingers.

Then a bald skull head appeared and disappeared, and there was a complex mark flickering on its smooth forehead.

Origin sub-body?

Wayne observed carefully for a second, and the rune mark on the forehead of the skull sub-body was different from the spell rune he understood.

"Did you see anything?"

"Yes, the rune mark has changed."

"Yes." Boras nodded and continued: "For a great wizard to advance to legend, it is no longer a simple accumulation of spell quantity and level."

"It is more about the fusion of the source power. It is not a simple fusion into the body, but it must be fused with the spell runes imprinted on the sub-body."

Is that so...

Wayne vaguely knows the way for subsequent wizards to advance to legend.

It is similar to the source fusion method of the extraordinary, except that one is to fuse the body's blood, while the wizard integrates the source into the spell rune imprint...

Converted into attributes, it can be understood as the source into toughness and the source into spiritual power.

"And the so-called choice is which sub-body you want to focus on. For example, I chose the undead spell system, so I integrated most of the source into this sub-body."

Boras pointed to the skull in the air and said: "Of course, it is also the basis for promotion to legend."

Can only choose one?

Wei En asked thoughtfully: "I wonder if all the original sub-bodies can be upgraded at the same time?"

"At the same time? Of course, the premise is that you have enough original power!"

Bolas laughed a few times, lowered his head slightly, and said: "In the long history of the era, the Ghost School has also produced several wizards who have the same idea as you..."

"Do you know what happened to them later?"

Wayne shook his head honestly, but he vaguely guessed that those people would not end up well.

"Without exception, they were all stuck at the threshold of advancing to legend!"

Bolas' tone turned serious, staring at the young wizard on the virtual screen, and warned: "Give up your unrealistic ideas!"

"When you advance to the Great Wizard, you will understand the source required to make a sub-body reach the threshold of advancing to legend."

"That is an astronomical figure, and it is more likely to be a wizard's life..."

A huge amount of source?

Wayne looked up at the four source sub-bodies, perhaps he would be the wizard who is most likely to successfully fuse them all.

You must know that his bloodline talent is spiritual transformation, which can transform basic attributes into source power.

His two basic attributes, the spiritual level has meditation, and the toughness level has flesh and blood heart transformation.

Even if there are no other rewards given by the panel, he has two or three basic attributes every day.

And according to the effect of the spiritual transformation talent, every eight basic attributes can be converted into one source.

What's more terrifying is that as the talent level increases, the basic attributes consumed by the transformation of the origin will gradually decrease.

The spiritual transformation talent is simply a sharp weapon prepared for his promotion to legend...

Is this a coincidence?

Or is it the fourth abnormality after the fraud talent, the panel and the ghost meditation method?

Wei En sighed in his heart, cleared these thoughts, and continued to listen to Boras's story.

"... At the same time, after being promoted to a great wizard, you will understand the essence of the spell, which is nothing more than the external power of the origin through the rune."

"So, what do you think runes are now? Or, what is the meaning of the existence of runes?"

Wei En thought for a few seconds and replied: "Tools?"

"Not so cold, but it's also right."

Boras raised his hands, and a rune array emerged between his palms, and the black light slid along the lines and flashed on the nodes.

"When you learn runes further, you will find that runes are the foundation of this world, just like the elements believed by the School of Mysticism..."

"It is everywhere!"

The foundation of the world...

Wai En stared at the rune array in a daze. He recognized that it was the foundation of the mystic wizard system - the Soul Devouring Rune.

However, it only has the same general pattern, with many more complex things in the middle.

Does it feel like a spell rune after the fusion of the Death Origin Rune?

"Did you see it? The extra part of the Soul Devouring Rune is my Origin Rune."

Bolas waved his hand to dispel the rune mark, looked at Wei En and smiled: "Of course, in order to prevent you from stealing the Origin Power, I hid most of the lines and nodes."

"Uh..."

"Don't look at me like that, I don't want you to fuse the Origin Rune into the spell, then it will consume my power."

"In fact, if I didn't know your current level, I would have begun to doubt whether the spells you cast before had undergone Origin Fusion."

"It can't be that there is an old guy who asked you to fuse his Origin Rune, right?"

Wei En smiled calmly without any expression.

Although that was indeed the fact, rushing to deny it would not dispel the other party's speculation, but would likely confirm his own guilt.

Of course, silence is also possible.

But fortunately, he had never exposed the matter of the Origin Rune of the God of Death before, otherwise he would have been surrounded by the old guys of the school.

But from Bolas's words, he also understood the principle of the Origin Rune of the God of Death - extracting His Origin Power.

However...

"Deputy Chairman Boras, I have a question."

"If we integrate our own original power into the sub-body, when casting spells, does it consume our own spiritual power or original power?"

"Good question." Boras nodded slightly, "This question is complicated and not complicated. Simply put, it is divided into two stages."

"Before reaching the legendary level, only spiritual power will be consumed, but after reaching the legendary level... the original power is the standard for measuring strength."

Legend, origin...

Wayne's heart moved, "You said, is it the same for all legends? The same for those extraordinary people?"

"Of course."

Bolas was very satisfied that he understood so quickly, "Except for those believers of the gods, whether they are extraordinary people or wizards, they can consume their origin to burst out more powerful power after reaching the legendary level."

"This is what I want to remind you. Once your enemy reaches the legendary level, don't rely too much on the spells you master."

"Because it is very likely that the spells you cast will be..."

Bolas flicked his fingers and made a gesture that would break if touched.

"..."

Wayne nodded knowingly, the picture was indeed too shocking.

But he was not too worried that his spells could not cause damage to the legendary level, after all, they were all integrated with the power of the Death God's Origin Rune.

It's just that it's hard to define how much of the Death God's Origin was borrowed...

However, before the battle with Alais begins, he must advance as soon as possible.

In that case, he can integrate his own Origin power and further enhance the power of various spells.

Bang!

At this moment, Wei En heard the sound of the door being knocked open on the screen.

"Bolas, something happened in the Spirit Mystic School!"
