"Teacher, I plan to take the prophet potion and wait for the effect to be fully absorbed before taking the school promotion assessment."
"Yes, for you, the promotion assessment is just a formality. The sooner you are promoted, the better your treatment will be in all aspects." Celes nodded.
After coming out of Celes' laboratory and just going down to the first floor, Richard met Meiluo.
Meiluo was still as young and beautiful as ever, and her naturally curly golden hair made her look more charming than ever.
"Richard, you are amazing! Congratulations on winning the first prize of freshman!"
"Thank you, Senpai! It was just a fluke."
"Oh! You've only been here for half a year, and you've already surpassed me. But, I'm almost there too. I estimate that in a few more days, I'll be able to meet the requirements for promotion to a second-level wizard apprentice." Meiluo raised her clenched fist and said happily.
"Senior, congratulations to you. You are quite fast. By the way, senior, for the promotion assessment, can you go at any time, or does the school have a designated time?" Richard said with a smile.
"Well, the school arranges two examination periods for promotion to second-level apprentices every month, at the beginning and middle of the month. If you want to participate, Richard, there should be one in three days. The location is right next to where the admission procedures are handled."
Richard nodded. He still remembered the place.
In addition, he was not surprised at all that Meiluo was about to be promoted. After all, Meiluo's talent was one level higher than his, and she was an old student who had been here for a year and a half. If you calculated the time, it was about time.
After returning to his dormitory, Richard immediately took the second bottle of prophet potion.
With the experience after taking it for the first time, the side effects of the main ingredient of the prophet potion, the dream flower, are much smaller, but correspondingly, the efficacy is reduced by nearly half.
After taking it, Richard called up the panel.
[Attributes]: Strength 4.4, Agility 4.6, Constitution 4.3, Spirit 11.4
Before taking the second bottle of prophet potion, his mental strength was 10.5 standard units, and now it has become 11.4 standard units, an increase of 0.9 standard units, which is already a good effect.
This made Richard wonder whether he should get another bottle of prophet potion.
Although the efficacy of the medicine decreased gradually, at this rate, the third bottle would be able to increase his ability by 0.4 to 0.5 standard units. But when he thought of the selling price of nearly 200 magic stones, Richard shook his head and decided to give up for the time being.
After all, there is more than one potion that can enhance mental strength, and there is no need for him to stick with this potion that his body has already developed resistance to.
After taking the prophet potion, Richard began to concentrate on thinking about the battles in the qualifying rounds and his next plan.
Thinking back to his last match with William, Richard now felt that he was really lucky to win.
He was able to win, on the one hand because the final witchcraft was beyond William's expectations, and on the other hand because his opponent underestimated him.
Meeting an opponent with high mobility and high burst damage like William is really a nightmare for ordinary wizard apprentices.
It would be great if we had some help to hold it off.
Oh, yes, if I could learn the zero-level sorcery to summon skeletons, the battle would be much easier.
In addition, there is another way to deal with it, which is to find defensive witchcraft props to resist William's sudden attack. However, due to the scarcity of witchcraft props, defensive ones must be even rarer. Richard thought about it, shook his head and gave up.
For me, learning witchcraft is the most practical thing.
In fact, Richard really wanted to learn Ophelia's magic of ripening mutant plants, but his natural affinity was only at an inferior level. When he performed the same natural magic, the effect would probably be only one-third of that of a higher level or even lower.
When Richard thought of this, he gave up the idea.
It seems that if you want to improve your combat effectiveness immediately, you still have to learn the zero-level witchcraft of summoning skeletons as soon as possible.
The next morning, Richard attended a paid course called "Introduction to Summoning the Undead". After the course, he went to the library to borrow a few related books.
After studying it carefully, Richard finally had a general understanding of the zero-level spell of summoning skeletons.
Here, we have to mention why a first-level wizard apprentice cannot learn to summon skeletons, but a second-level wizard apprentice can.
The reason is that to complete the witchcraft of summoning skeletons, one first needs to draw an inverted pentagram array to connect to the world of the undead, and then summon skeleton soldiers across the world to help fight. This process consumes the most mental energy.
Only when your mental strength is above ten points can you fully activate the magic circle.
So, this is why, only a second-level wizard apprentice can successfully cast this spell.
Relatively speaking, the mental energy consumed to maintain the summoned undead is much less. Specifically, it is proportional to the strength of the summoned undead. For example, an ordinary skeleton soldier consumes about one standard unit of mental energy per hour to maintain his state in the main world.
In addition, the instructor of the paid course also mentioned that when communicating with the world of the dead, the higher the level of control over the caster's mental power, the better.
Take summoning skeletons as an example. When the caster's mental tentacles penetrate into the world of the undead, the higher the degree of mental subdivision, the more skeletons can be found, and the more likely it is to select the best undead creatures of the same level.
However, before the official summons, Richard still had some preparations to do.
Since the spell of summoning skeletons requires drawing a pentagram formation, a special kind of ink is needed - the ethereal ink.
Richard didn't have this himself, so he had to go to the trading area to purchase some.
As for the paintbrush, there is no need to prepare anything extra. The Banshee's Finger in Richard's hand is a very good choice.
Of course, there are simplified methods for drawing magic circles, such as using a crystal ball to solidify the summoning magic circle. Although using a crystal ball to summon skeletons consumes more mental energy than hand-drawing, it saves the several drops of blood and the tedious steps of drawing the magic circle each time.
The form of solidified summoning array is also the mainstream summoning form used by third-level wizard apprentices and formal wizards.
But at present, as a beginner, Richard still needs to start by hand-drawing the magic circle.
Half an hour later, Richard returned to the dormitory again, bit his index finger, dripped a few drops of his own blood into the virtual ink, stirred it evenly, dipped it with the banshee's finger, and infused it with mental power, and began to draw an inverted pentagram array on the ground.
The purpose of adding blood is to reduce the difficulty of summoning, and at the same time it can also reduce the consumption of mental power.
[The host is found to be performing zero-level witchcraft to summon skeletons. Yes/No, consume energy to gain inspiration for the zero-level witchcraft to summon skeletons? ]
Richard thought for a moment, then decided to drag the slider to 1000 and selected "Yes!"
After a dizzying moment, Richard's soul came to the dream space. This time he came to a closed room. There was a blurry figure in the center of the room. The figure was bending over, drawing something carefully on the ground.
The next second, he possessed the figure. Once possessed, he realized that he was drawing an inverted pentagram formation to summon skeletons.
Because only after the inverted pentagram formation is accurately drawn out can we proceed to the next step, outline all five runes for summoning skeletons in our minds, and construct them into a witchcraft model.
