  Richard immediately noticed the pattern on Meiluo's chest, which had changed from one bone stick to two bone sticks.

  It seems that Meiluo has been promoted to a second-level wizard apprentice since some time ago.

  However, just as Richard was staring at the pattern on Meiluo's chest, Meiluo plucked up her courage, raised her head, and was about to say something.

  But when she saw Richard staring at the top of her curves, she immediately felt ashamed, stamped her feet, turned around, opened the door and ran away!

  This made Richard a little confused. What was going on? He didn't do anything.

  Well! Girls' minds are really hard to guess.

  However, this was just a small episode.

  From that day on, the relationship between Meiluo and Richard progressed by leaps and bounds. Basically, every day after Richard finished learning the basic knowledge of pharmacy with mentor Ceres, Meiluo would wait to go to the restaurant on the second floor of the cafeteria to have meals with Richard.

  The originally high cost of restaurant meals was now borne by Richard, just like adding a side dish in his previous life.

  With the company of beautiful senior schoolmates and enjoying delicious food, Richard's life can be said to be very happy!

  Richard also learned that Meiluo was successfully promoted to a second-level wizard apprentice last month. It took her one year and eleven months, which is considered a top-notch speed.

  Considering Meiluo's qualifications, this speed is normal.

  Moreover, Richard learned for the first time that Meiluo was a giant national business alliance from another continent - the continent of Vitroll.

  This is a country similar to the Athenian city-state in Richard's previous life. It is a huge alliance composed of hundreds of kingdoms, principalities, regions and large cities. The alliance is only responsible for two things: joint defense and free trade. Apart from that, everything else is done independently.

  Moreover, the Commercial Alliance is very distinctive. If you have a map of the entire territory of Vitroll, you can clearly see that the territory of the Commercial Alliance stretches along the coastline of the continent.

  That is, the hundreds of kingdoms, principalities, regions, and large cities that made up the commercial alliance all developed along the coast.

  The huge shipping and commerce industry is the cornerstone of its economic prosperity.

  It is said that in many port cities of the Commercial Alliance, there are countless goods and the business is much more prosperous than that of the cities on the continent of Bias.

  In addition, the Commercial Alliance is the only human country on the continent of Vetroor, but it is not the only civilized country. In the central part of the continent of Vetroor, in the boundless grassland, lives an ancient and powerful orc race.

  Meiluo comes from an area called the Loras Peninsula, located to the east of the Vitrol continent.

  Starting from the Loras Peninsula, once you cross the Storm Strait, you will immediately reach the Crab Claw Peninsula of the Kingdom of Heron.

  So, from this perspective, although Meiluo's hometown and Richard's hometown belong to two different continents, the distance between them is not that far.

  According to Meiluo, she came to the Ignis School because her father had some connection with a formal wizard of the Ignis School.

  Although she is mainly affinity with dark elements, the business alliance of the Vitlor continent not only has many white wizard academies, but also a considerable number of black wizard academies.

  So normally, she should join the wizard academy on the continent of Vitroll.

  But her father was worried that she might be implicated in the family infighting, so he asked someone to arrange for Meiluo to come to the Bias continent.

  Her family, the Norris family, is the most wealthy family on the Loras Peninsula, and is famous for controlling the peninsula's huge shipping business.

  But where there are interests, there are struggles, and her family is no exception.

  This reminded Richard of his own family, which was small but warm

.

  During the few days that Richard returned to the school, Ram and his girlfriend Courtney also came to visit Richard once.

  The two were still first-level wizard apprentices, but their mentality was much better than before. After experiencing the last life-and-death test, they were more calm and composed.

  Through Ram, Richard also quickly learned about the current situation of several of his friends.

  For example, Ophelia and Andrea, ever since the last dark fishman incident, they thought they were really killed and were quite sad. They have been working hard to improve their strength over the past six months.

  So, this time, as soon as the Norman Secret Realm was opened, the two of them went there early.

  According to Ram, Ophelia and Andrea's strength is improving very rapidly.

  Ophelia, in particular, is now a well-known student even among the second-level wizard apprentices.

  Of course, the most eye-catching among the three major wizard academies is Torre Grace from Gurus Academy.

  It is said that in the last dark murloc incident, it was he who turned the tide. Relying on a low-level magical weapon given to him by his mentor, he resisted the attack of the murloc and waited for the arrival of the official wizard.

  Afterwards, he was directly rewarded with a bottle of red shock potion. Now this famous person Torre Grace is also in the Norman Secret Realm, and it is said that his strength is about to break through to the third-level wizard apprentice.

  This is exaggerated, because he is likely to break the record of the fastest promotion to the third-level wizard apprentice in Gurus Academy.

  The previous record of Gurus Academy was one year and seven months, but Torre Grace has already reached the peak of the second-level wizard apprentice in just one year.

  "It seems that there are many geniuses in every era. Torre Grace? This name sounds familiar." Richard thought to himself.

  Every night, when Richard returned to the dormitory, he would carefully study the memory crystal given to him by his mentor Ceres.

  Recently, he also took the time to go to the school library several times to look for some information about Rodrigo.

  But after searching for a long time, Richard found that most of the information about Rodrigo was circulated in the biographies of wandering poets. Such fragmentary records did not constitute a systematic content at all, not to mention the clues to the related ruins.

  In comparison, the content of the memory crystal given by Mentor Celes is much more detailed, such as the passage Richard just saw.

  "Hiss! Rodrigo, the greatest necromancer in ancient times, is the founder of the necromancer summoning school. He is said to be able to defeat hundreds of thousands of regular troops alone. Isn't this a bit exaggerated?"

  This long paragraph in the middle made Richard stunned, but the next second, he frowned.

  "In ancient times."

  It really is the ancient times, this is troublesome!

  Basically, the heritage from ancient times has hardly been passed down intact.

  After all, it was too long ago, and the ruins that Teacher Ceres went to were probably not Rodrigo's ruins, but the ruins of a school he passed down, or an academy with deep roots with him.  

  As Richard continued to look down,

  "The necromancer Rodrigo created the second-level necromancy magic - the army of the dead, and the third-level necromancy magic - the scourge of the dead."

  "Hiss! These two sorcery techniques are both well-known among the necromancers. It turns out that they were both invented by Rodrigo! No wonder he is called the originator of the necromancer summoning style."

  Richard knew something about the power of the second-level witchcraft - the Undead Army. It was said that this witchcraft could summon thousands or even tens of thousands of undead creatures, led by the Death Knights of the Undead Realm, with abominations, wailing banshees, ghouls and various skeletons as the main forces.

  Can easily destroy a county!

  For example, in Richard's hometown, Rossby County, if an undead wizard cast this second-level witchcraft - the army of the undead in the county town, the entire county town would be destroyed.

  The third-level undead witchcraft - the Scourge of Undead is even more terrifying. It is said that it can directly destroy a kingdom.

  But unfortunately, as far as Richard knew, the third-level witchcraft - Undead Scourge, had been lost for nearly a thousand years.

  The second-level witchcraft undead army is classified as the top secret of the Ignis School. It is extremely difficult to qualify to study it. Apart from that, it is said that only a handful of people can learn it. Of course, this may also be related to the extremely small number of second-level wizards.

  Richard was so excited after reading these contents that he wished he could find and explore Rodrigo's related relics immediately. It would be best if he could find these long-lost powerful witchcrafts and learn them.

  After calming down, Richard continued to read carefully.

  The memory crystal states that according to the clues and judgments collected by Mentor Celes, there are three areas where Rodrigo left obvious traces: the Bering Mountains on the Bias continent, Basileus Island in the Summer Sea, and the Ivers Forest at the junction of the Vitrol Continent Commercial Alliance and the Death Prairie.

  Richard had never heard of the latter two, but he had heard of the Bering Mountains on the continent of Bias.

  Because this is the famous Jedi, or forbidden land, on the continent of Bias, filled with all kinds of powerful monsters.

  Even if official wizards want to explore, they usually form a team of several people to dare to go deep. And from time to time, you will hear that a famous official wizard has died there.

  "Just going to the Bering Mountains to search for relevant clues is already extremely difficult. This problem seems to be completely unsolvable for me at the moment!" Richard frowned.

  Among these three areas, the Bering Mountains are extremely difficult, and the latter two are obviously very far away from Richard, either on a remote island in the vast ocean or on another continent.

  If you really want to explore, the long journey alone would probably be fraught with danger.

  "Well, for now, it seems that we can only search for relevant information about the Summer Sea Basileus Island and the Iverson Forest on the Vitrol Continent before making any plans."

  "Hey, it seems that both of these places can be entrusted to Senior Meiluo. Her family is a large commercial family, and its geographical location is also located in the Vitrol Continent, so it should be relatively easy to search."

——

  The next day at noon.

  The restaurant on the second floor of the school.

  Several delicacies were placed on a dining table inlaid with golden patterns. One of them was baked crystal snails, which were cooked with this exotic creature, crystal snails. Eating it could slightly increase the speed of mental recovery. It also had an excellent taste and unique flavor.

  "Senior, there is something I may need to trouble you with."

  "Well, what's the matter?" Meiluo looked at Richard with her big eyes.

  She knew her junior, but he rarely asked her for help.

  Richard took out two boxes, opened them and quickly closed them again, after all, there were other people eating around.

  But Meiluo had already seen clearly that it was filled with at least dozens of bottles of Fire Dancing Star.

  Richard also quickly showed the other box, which contained the primary mental recovery potion he had recently made.

  As the three undead wizard academies and the five major matriarch families in the Underdark are still fighting fiercely, the prices of alchemical bombs and combat potions have been rising.

  At present, the price has exceeded that of half a year ago. The price of Fire Dance Star has reached twenty-two magic stones per bottle, and the prices of various combat potions have also increased significantly.

  "Richard, what is this?" Meiluo asked in confusion.

  "Senior, it's like this. I would like to entrust your family to help me collect some information. All of this will be considered as the commissioning fee for the task." Richard said after organizing his words.

  "Ah? What kind of information would cost so many magic stones to collect?" Meiluo certainly knew the value of the two boxes in front of her. According to the current market price, they were worth at least 1,500 magic stones.

  No matter how you put it, this is a huge sum of money. It is enough to post tasks within the school and hire several third-level wizard apprentices to participate in the task.

  "I would like to entrust your family to help me collect some things from Basileus Island in the Summer Sea and Iverson Forest in the Wetroll Continent. Mainly, I want to collect some local legends, folk songs, and biographies of bards that describe local strange events and local customs."

  Richard was very clear that there were definitely no clues directly related to Rodrigo, and if there were any, it would not have been his turn long ago.

  Therefore, you can only collect some information and data and analyze it yourself.

  "As you know, these two places are not in the Bias continent. The distance is too far, so you see."

  Meiluo immediately understood what Richard meant.

  "I see. However, this investigation will probably take quite some time. Richard, I've heard my father talk about the Summer Sea you mentioned before. It's located in the south of the Vitrol continent.

  It is said that the sea water there is always above 30 degrees, so it is called the Summer Sea. I guess the island of Basileus should be there, and it is probably tens of thousands of miles away from our school. "

  "It's okay. The time limit is half a year. Senior sister, do you think it's okay? Just help me collect relevant information within half a year as much as possible." Richard estimated the time for various preparations on his side and said that the limit would be half a year.

  "As long as it's local customs, biographies, strange events, etc., is that all?" Meiluo was also a little confused. She didn't know why the junior in front of her wanted to collect these things.

  However, although Richard saw Meiluo's puzzled expression, he did not explain. After all, some things are better kept to oneself.

  "But, I don't think we need so many magic stones, right?" Meiluo thought for a moment and pushed back a box.

  "No, senior sister, helping me investigate as clearly as possible is the greatest help to me. You know, I have been studying pharmacy with mentor Ceres recently and have some experience. Therefore, earning magic stones is a relatively easy thing for me." Richard shrugged with a smile.

  "That's right. You are now a quasi-potion master." Meiluo said with a smile, "Then I won't be polite with you. I will accept it first."

  "Of course, senior sister, if it's not enough, remember to tell me again." Richard raised his glass and gestured.
