  One week later, Norman Secret Realm.

  A gray-robed man with a sinister face and three plague worms on his chest was standing next to the corpse of a shadow elf archer, looking at a blood falcon that was jumping in his hand.

  The blood falcon is small in size, not even as big as an owl. Its pair of striking red blood eyes are particularly eye-catching, but if you look closely you will find that the red color is a bit abnormal.

  That's because the blood falcon in front of him has already deviated from the category of natural creatures. After undergoing the zombie transformation ritual, it retained some of its instincts in life, such as flying, but was controlled by the caster.

  The blood falcon is now a messenger corpse bird under the control of Joachim.

  Currently, his entire body was in a numb state.

  "He actually came back to life? He was washed away by an underground river and fell into a mezzanine underground. He experienced many hardships for half a year and finally returned to the Ignis School successfully. This... This is a plot that only appears in the autobiography of a wandering poet!"

  After reading the message on the corpse bird, Joachim's face turned pale and a thousand horses were running through his heart.

  This person is Joachim Frisius, a third-level wizard apprentice of the Ring of North and the senior of the red-haired girl Jenna.

  Thinking back to when Mentor Gildarts handed him Richard's portrait, he was confident that it would not take long for him to complete the task. After all, he was a third-level wizard apprentice, and no matter how outstanding the other party was, he was only a first-level wizard apprentice.

  But when he handed Richard's portrait to a third-level wizard apprentice from the Ignis School he was familiar with, the other party told him that Richard was missing. It was said that the wizard apprentices from the three major academies encountered dark fishmen while performing a clearing mission, and there were heavy casualties, and Richard was one of them.

  After hearing the news, Joachim, who had already made a careless mistake and was fooled by Richard, whom he had never met before, lost face in front of his mentor.

  So, this time Joachim was more cautious and went to the place where Richard disappeared, which was the place where many wizard apprentices fought with the dark fishmen, to check. Except for the corpses of some apprentices whose faces were indeed unrecognizable, Joachim could not find Richard's body.

  This made Joachim suspicious and thought that Richard might not be dead, but when he waited until the task of clearing out the vassal of the underground race was over, he did not see Richard appear.

  This made Joachim start to doubt himself again.

  More than a month passed, and Joachim again asked his acquaintances in the Ignis School, but still heard no news of Richard's appearance.

  Only then did he begin to believe it a little, and he went back to report to Mentor Gildarts the news that Richard was most likely killed.

  But I didn't expect that half a year after this incident, changes had occurred again. This was equivalent to being slapped in the face again because the situation I reported to the tutor was not true.

  Therefore, I'd better handle this matter perfectly right away.

  What is the perfect solution? Obviously, the perfect solution is to kill the person who has come back to life again.

  However, considering that he could not leave the Norman Secret Realm for the time being, Joachim decided to spend some magic stones and let a few second-level wizard apprentices find a suitable opportunity to kill Richard.

  I'm just worried that he'll stay in the Ignis School and not go out, which would be troublesome.

  Joachim thought about it, and left a message on the corpse bird, asking his junior, Lucius Redman, a second-level wizard apprentice of the Ring of North, to kill Richard, and the specific reward was 500 magic stones.

  In order to avoid any accidents, he also made a special note, asking Lucius to call a few more second-level wizard apprentices to join in the action.

  Because of the Norman Secret Realm, many second- and third-level wizard apprentices from the Ring of Norse and Gurus Academy are now running back and forth between the Norman Secret Realm and the Ignis School

.

  Ignis School Library.

  At the administrator's counter.

  Richard was chatting with the senior third-level wizard apprentice. Now, he could roughly sense the other party's strength.

  Just as he estimated when he first entered the school, the opponent's strength should be similar to his current strength, and his mental power is close to the limit of level three.

  However, the complexity and quantity of the witchcraft that the other party has learned are definitely far greater than his. However, there is one thing that Richard is very confident about, that is, in terms of the degree of control of witchcraft, he is definitely better than the other party.

  Therefore, if a real fight breaks out, it is hard to say who will win.

  "Are you looking for a zero-level sorcery that can increase movement speed?"

  "Yes, senior, but I just looked around the second floor and didn't find any similar zero-level witchcraft."

  The old man shook his head and said,

  "There are very few spells in the Shadow Element that can increase movement speed. It's normal that you can't find any. Generally speaking, there are many more spells in the Wind Element that can increase movement speed. Unfortunately, Richard, you don't have an affinity for the wind element."

  Richard also knew his problem, he was a dark fire natural third element, and his affinity was getting lower and lower, with the affinity being medium, low and inferior respectively.

  This makes him very conflicted, and for now he can only stick to shadow witchcraft.

  The old man thought for a moment and added, "However, I know there is a third-level wizard apprentice named Wolawi Piazza, who has a collection of the rare witchcraft you need. It seems to be called Shadow Dance. But if you want to exchange this thing from that miser, Richard, I guess you will lose a lot of magic stones."

  Richard was overjoyed when he heard this. To be honest, he could now barely speak and say that any problem that could be solved with the magic stone was not a big problem.

  After you understand clearly that the other party is in the trading area.

  Richard quickly came to the trading area, Wolawi's grocery store.

  As soon as Richard entered the room, he saw Wolawei taking a nap. He had a plump figure, narrowed his eyes, and looked shrewd.

  It is difficult to associate him with a third-level wizard apprentice, but Wolawei is a bona fide third-level wizard apprentice. Although judging from his aura, he has not yet reached the peak of a third-level wizard apprentice, he is not far away.

  "Senior Wolaway, I heard that you have a book of witchcraft called Shadow Dance?"

  The aura of a peak second-level wizard apprentice revealed by Richard did not make Wolawe underestimate him.

  After looking Richard up and down, he said slowly: "Do you have Silver Dragon Grass? Just exchange it for Silver Dragon Grass. If you have three Silver Dragon Grasses, it will be yours."

  As a quasi-alchemy master, Richard knew what the other party was going to do as soon as he heard it.

  Although Silver Dragon Grass is very rare, its function is relatively simple. Considering that the other party is a third-level wizard apprentice and is in such a hurry to get it, it is likely that he wants to make a rare Silver Dragon potion to increase his mental strength.

  With his brows relaxed, Richard smiled and said, "Senior Wolawi, is it necessary to get the Silver Dragon Grass?"

  "That's right, we must have Silver Dragon Grass!" Wolawei said in a firm tone.

  Wolawei was very clear about his situation. He had basically tried all kinds of mental power-enhancing potions available on the market.

  Apart from ancient potions like the Crimson Shock Potion, he had no way of getting them because the quantity was too scarce and the school only distributed a few bottles as rewards.  

  As for other medicines such as the prophet's potion, he has already taken them as long as they are available on the market.

  As his strength grew rapidly, he also faced the dilemma he is facing now. As he was approaching the peak stage of a third-level wizard apprentice, he had basically developed resistance to all mental power-enhancing potions.

  Therefore, if he wants to go one step further and become a formal wizard, he needs to take a new mental power growth potion. At present, he has contacted a potion master and collected other herbs, except for the silver dragon grass.

  "Senior Wolawei, take a look at my potion, how do you think it works?" Richard confidently took out a small box from his arms, and then took out a golden horned frog egg from the box.

  "No need to look, I have basically taken all the ones available on the market, unless yours is red." Wolawei stopped before he finished speaking.

  He was very sure that he had never seen such a drug before!

  Of course, there was no such thing as drug resistance.

  Wolawei widened his eyes, looked carefully at the golden soybeans in front of him, and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

  "A special potion produced in the Underdark that can enhance mental strength. Senior Wolaway can try the effect first. This pill is free." Richard said with a smile.

  Potions from the Underdark? Worawe believed it a little. After all, his school had already gone deep underground, so it was normal for some apprentices to look for potions unique to the Underdark.

  "Are you sure it's a potion that enhances mental power and has no side effects? Have you taken it yourself?" Wolawei still hesitated.

  "Of course, the effect is very good." Richard swallowed a pill in front of Wolawei.

  Seeing Richard being so straightforward, Wolawei's eyes lit up and he swallowed the golden horned frog eggs in one gulp.

  In less than a few seconds, Wolawei's eyes lit up like an incandescent lamp, and he thought to himself, "It really works on me. I have no resistance at all. It's a good thing!"

  Immediately, Wolawei's shrewd little eyes began to roll around.

  "Well, Richard, how many of these do you want to give me in exchange for the Shadow Dance? Less won't do, I need at least 100 pills." Wolawei said as he made a big one gesture.

  "100 pills? You really dare to ask for it." Richard thought to himself, shook his head, and turned around and left.

  "No, no, no, don't go! The price is negotiable. Junior, just name a price and we can talk." Wolawei could no longer remain calm and hurriedly ran out from behind the counter.

  After all, for him, as long as he can get the potion in Richard's hand, he can improve his mental power to the peak of a third-level wizard apprentice in a few months, and then he will have the opportunity to become a formal wizard.

  Therefore, he was even more anxious. After all, the Silver Dragon Grass was hard to find, and it was uncertain when he could receive one. Moreover, there was a failure rate in refining the grass. How could it be as reliable as the finished medicine?

  "10 pills." Richard thought about it and quoted a price.

  Now, it was Wolaway's turn to look a little gloomy. Is this how you bargain? He has seen people bargain in half, but this way of bargaining, which is so sharp that it breaks bones, is the first time he has seen it

  . After some haggling, it was only after Richard showed off his superb pharmaceutical skills that Wolaway reluctantly agreed to exchange 30 golden horned frog eggs for the rare witchcraft shadow dance.

  There was another condition attached, which was that Wolawei had a free opportunity for Richard to make a potion

.

  Richard, who got the "Shadow Dance", was in a good mood and came to the alchemy room of mentor Ceres.

  But as soon as he entered the door, Celes told him some bad news.

  "Richard, the second-level wizard apprentice who was stationed in your family was injured. According to the news he sent back, there is an outbreak of monsters in Rossby County and Silver Pine Town is also a severely affected area. I think it is better to let you know."

  When Richard heard this, his mood immediately sank.

  "Teacher, is the situation serious?"

  Celes nodded and said, "But don't worry too much. I will issue another mission later and arrange for a third-level wizard apprentice to go there."

  "Teacher, you still don't need to issue new tasks. Can I go back by myself?"

  "You? Fighting monsters with your current strength is quite risky," Seres advised.

  As for Richard who has great hope of becoming a master of alchemy, Celes still hopes that Richard will not go back by himself.

  After all, in his eyes, with Richard's strength as a second-level wizard apprentice, it would still be easy for him to encounter danger in the battle with monsters.

  He didn't want the promising young talent he had his eyes on to die halfway.

  "Teacher, believe me, I can do it."

  For Richard, who had been killing monsters in the Grey Fern Wilderness for half a year, he still had the confidence to protect Silver Pine Town from monster attacks.

  "Okay! Then be careful on your journey." Seeing that his favorite disciple had made up his mind, Seres stopped trying to persuade him.

  After all, you can't raise an eagle in a cage.

  After walking out of Ceres' alchemy room, Richard wanted to say goodbye to Meiluo before leaving.

  But suddenly he remembered that Meiluo had gone on an escort mission with several second-level wizard apprentices that morning and would not be back until tomorrow.

  So, Richard asked Ram and Meiluo to tell them, and he simply packed his things and set off immediately

.

  When a freshman saw Richard walking out of the gate of Ignis School, he immediately returned to the school and said something to an old student. Then, like a chain reaction, the news spread from one to another, and soon, it reached the hands of three second-level wizard apprentices of the Ring of North.

  One of these three people was the guy named Lucius Redman who accepted Joachim's mission.

  The two people next to him are his best friends and younger brothers. Although Lucius Redman is only at the peak of a second-level wizard apprentice, he has a contracted creature that has reached the strength of a third-level wizard apprentice. Therefore, he is very confident about the task offered by Senior Joachim.

  However, his contracted creature could only exert its combat effectiveness in a swamp environment, so the trio set up an ambush in a swamp area at the end of the trail west of the mud swamp.

  We can't go any further, because if we go any further, we will leave the mud swamp and enter the black forest area, and it will become extremely difficult to find another swamp.

  When Richard walked along the west path of the school and passed through a dense black-leaf forest, he found something wrong on both sides of the path ahead, so he stopped immediately.

  The water in the swamps on both sides of the trail was turbid, with tiny bubbles rising from time to time.

  But Richard's eyes were fixed on the bushes at the corner in the distance, and he said in a deep voice, "Come out!"
