  Three days later in the morning.

  In the Murloc tribe camp, inside the prophet's stilt house.

  Richard specially called Fingart to come.

  "Fingat, I plan to return to the surface tomorrow. As for when I will come next time, I don't know." After being together for so long, Richard was quite satisfied with Fingart, his first servant.

  "Master, are you going to abandon your humble servant?" Upon hearing that his master Richard was going to return to the surface, Fingart shed two lines of sad tears.

  "Okay, let's talk about business." Of course Richard knew that Fingart was mostly acting, but he still felt a little touched in his heart.

  Fingart had mixed feelings. He was worried that if Richard could stay there all the time, the tribe's blood food every month would not be a problem. But now that Richard was gone, the burden of killing monsters fell on him.

  It is estimated that when hunting monsters again, there will be many casualties among the warriors in his own tribe.

  Secondly, many of the special potions made by Richard for murlocs were distributed to the warriors in the tribe through it in the past two months, and the strength of many warriors improved rapidly.

  However, my success rate in this area is still too low and cannot make up for the gap left after Richard left.

  In other words, after Richard left, the speed at which the warriors in his own tribe improve in strength will drop significantly, and he also has to think of an excuse. After all, when he distributed the potions before, he could say that they were all made by himself.

  Thinking of the scene of many middle and high-level fishmen warriors surrounding it and reaching out to it for potions, Fingart couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed!

  What made him happy was that his master was finally leaving, and he could finally be free!

  But why do I feel a little lost, as if I have lost a supporter?

  After all, as a master, Richard treated him very well and never interfered in the internal affairs of the merman tribe. Apart from instructing him to arrange people to look for monsters and rare herbs, he had no attachment to power at all.

  It seems that it is better for the master to stay in his own tribe than to leave!

  So, Fingart wiped his tears and said to Richard: "By the way, master, if you want to return to the surface for cultivation reasons, you can tell me, maybe I, your humble servant, can help you?"

  When Richard heard this, he thought that a ray of Fingart's soul was in his hands and that he was an absolutely trustworthy person, so he said directly: "I plan to collect a few advanced meditation methods and learn some new witchcraft when I go back this time.

  As for this, I can't think of any way to do it in the Underdark."

  Upon hearing this, Fingate frowned, "Advanced meditation method? And from the tone of the master, it seems that it will take several steps. This is really difficult.

  What he practiced was the Blood Meditation Method, which was not suitable for the master to learn, and the other clans in Dark Water Lake also practiced the Blood Meditation Method.

  Oh, by the way, it seems that there are some scattered forces among the gray dwarves. It is said that they were established by underground humans. They should have advanced meditation methods. "

  Suddenly, Fingart's eyes lit up, and he told Richard in detail what he had seen and heard.

  When Richard heard this, he was overjoyed at first, but after a while he shook his head and said, "You said that there are some underground forces formed by humans in the area controlled by the gray dwarves, so their leaders should at least be official wizards, right?"

  "Um, yes, master!" Fingate instantly understood the problem and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

  It didn't want its master to leave, but instead its master would misunderstand that it was asking it to commit suicide, and then kill it on the spot, which would be an unjust death.

  "Master, I." Fingart explained hurriedly with a look of horror on his face.

  Richard waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I know you mean well, but you just didn't think it through."

  However, this did give Richard a third option, but it was a bit risky. First of all, he was completely unfamiliar with the situation in the area controlled by the gray dwarves.

  Secondly, if one adopts the method of attacking and killing the wizard apprentices of the underground human organization, one can try to extract from them the first level of the advanced meditation method that they practiced.

  It's not impossible since he has the Soul-Eating Spider, but he will easily be targeted and hunted down by the official wizards of the other organization, so the risk is extremely high.

  You said you would not kill the other side's wizard apprentices, but make friends with the other side and then exchange rare items? Wake up! Advanced meditation is the foundation of each force, how can it be so easy to trade.

  You said you have precious items they need, advanced potions or something? Well, there is a high probability that the other party will send someone to kill you. If your things are really important to them, then the other party may directly send a formal wizard to kill you and get the treasure.

  In the end, he worked hard and planned for a long time and killed the opponent's wizard apprentice, but the meditation method he obtained did not necessarily match his own Rodrigo meditation method, and the effect of one plus one being greater than two could not be achieved.

  If that happens, all the hard work will be in vain.

  Although Richard didn't know much about the origin of Rodrigo's meditation method, he had heard that Rodrigo was a famous necromancer in ancient times, the top necromancer among all the necromancers.

  Since they are all necromancers, the meditation method handed down by the three major necromancer academies is definitely the most likely to fit Rodrigo's meditation method. That is, after breaking the limit, it is very likely to achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

  That's why Richard was so determined to go back.  

  "How about this, I'll go back to the surface first. If I can't handle it, I'll come back naturally. Fingate, have you forgotten? I have two high-level magic stones in my hand now. If I take one back, the other one can just come back." Richard comforted.

  "As you wish, wise master." After hearing this, Fingart felt that it made sense and stopped trying to persuade him

.

  Three days later, early in the morning.

  Inside the sacrificial hall of the blind murloc tribe camp.

  Richard was carrying a bulging bag containing the [Mutated Heart] and a series of other rare raw materials, and in his arms was the Soul-Eating Spider, while Fingart was preparing the hexagram teleportation array on the side.

  When Fingart installed the high-level magic stone handed to him by Richard in the center of the three-headed snake statue, the entire hexagram teleportation array flickered three times.

  "Master, it's okay. You just take the Kumera statue and step into the hexagram teleportation array to be teleported back directly." Fingate said respectfully.

  Richard nodded. He had studied this legendary magic circle for some time and knew that it was true.

  If the teleportation array on the other side is destroyed, then even if you walk into your own teleportation array, the teleportation cannot be activated and there is no danger to you.

  After all, the teleportation array in front of him was just an ordinary long-distance teleportation array, not the legendary cross-continental or cross-dimensional teleportation array.

  Just imagine how advanced the teleportation array that a blind murloc tribe could set up could be.

  This also shows from another aspect that the surface of the Underdark is just below the ground and is actually not far from the surface vertically.

  "Then I'm leaving, Fingate. I hope that when I see you next time, your strength will have improved a little!" Richard said with a smile. Without listening to Fingate's answer, he directly held the statue and walked into the teleportation array.

  Instantly, the hexagram teleportation array glowed with blue light, and Richard's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot!

  After a while of spinning, when Richard came to his senses, he had been teleported to the secret cave.

  Richard was stunned for a moment when he saw this familiar scene, but he immediately looked around carefully. The bodies of the fishmen were long gone. Judging from the traces, it seemed that they were dragged into the water by some unknown amphibian creature in the underground river.

  The long drag marks were still visible on the shallow sand.

  As for why I made this judgment, since the teleportation array was intact, it means that it is highly likely that this place was not discovered by intelligent creatures.

  Otherwise, if the apprentices from the three major academies discovered this place, they would definitely report it to the academy and get rewards. And if that was really the case, the teleportation array of the other blind fishman tribe would have already teleported people there.

  But he had stayed in the blind murloc tribe for half a year, and not even a single person had teleported here, which meant that this place was most likely not discovered by other people.

  Richard carefully distinguished the footprints on the soft sand and found that there were only three kinds of footprints in total. In addition to the fishman and his own, there was another one, which was obviously from some huge four-legged creature with webbed feet.

  This was good news, although he had already made a backup plan and had scanned the pattern of the teleportation array into the recording crystal.

  But there is a ready-made, hidden teleportation array, which saves me a lot of effort.

  Still through the underwater secret passage, Richard swam back to the place where he had encountered the old murloc prophet and the ancient dark murloc.

  This place is still full of potholes, especially some huge holes, which show the intensity of the war at that time.

  Richard carefully estimated the power of these witchcrafts and felt that these pits were most likely witchcrafts cast by official wizards, which caused such effects.

  This was because he himself was currently considered a top third-level wizard apprentice, and the level-0 wizardry he had mastered was also at the extreme level. If even he couldn't do it, it was most likely caused by a formal wizard.

  Although traces of the battle are still there, the bodies of the murlocs and some of their accessories have long disappeared, most likely having been cleared out after the war.

  Richard shook his head, feeling that things had changed a lot, and began to walk towards the surface along the shallows on one side of the underground river.

  Two hours later, Richard returned to the familiar Ignis School residence, and suddenly, he couldn't help but sigh.

  However, as soon as he entered the school's residence, he discovered that many wizard apprentices wearing the Ring of Noth and the apprentice robes of the Gulus Academy were still there.

  But the number of people was obviously much smaller than before he left, which made him very curious.

  Could it be that the three major schools of undead wizards have issued another mission since organizing the joint clearing mission?

  Richard was thinking about whether to report to Teacher Celes first, but he changed his mind and gave up the idea. Instead, he continued to wear the hood, covering most of his face, and came to the school trading area.
