After eating, Richard looked at the remaining 4,000 energy points on the panel and decided to give it a try to see if he could upgrade the level 0 witchcraft that he currently relied on, the skeleton summoning, to the grandmaster level.
[Witchcraft]: Summon Skeleton (Master 68%, Mystic: Triple Summon)
The current progress is 68%, with 4,000 energy points. There should be a great chance to be promoted to the Grandmaster level. It is worth a try.
Richard estimated that the master-level summoned skeleton would either give him one more summoning slot, or allow him to summon stronger undead creatures, but either way, it would further enhance his strength.
This is a guarantee for my next step of investigating the murloc camp. If any accident occurs, I will have a greater chance of escaping unscathed.
[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? ]
Looking at the slider at 4000 on the far right, Richard dragged the slider to 4000 without hesitation and selected "Yes!"
In an instant, the world spun around and Richard found himself in the dream again. This time, the scene was a high-vaulted and empty hall.
In the center of the hall, the phantom possessed by Richard was holding a bone summoning staff inlaid with a crystal ball.
As a low incantation sounded, the micro-carved magic circle in the crystal ball was immediately projected onto the ground in the center of the hall.
After a while, accompanied by the chanting of short spells, the huge inverted pentagram magic circle projected on the ground began to glow with light green.
Richard's mental power was injected into the magic circle quickly through the witchcraft model in his mind and the bone summoning staff at a special frequency.
Suddenly, a bright green light shone in the center of the magic circle!
After Richard's nearly 100 mental tentacles probed into the world of the dead, he found that the countless mental light balls representing ordinary skeleton soldiers responded to him faster and more enthusiastically than last time.
There is almost no one who does not want to sign a contract with him.
But now, he no longer looks down on these ordinary skeleton soldiers.
Moreover, Richard's mental tentacles are now able to actually reach the mental light balls of the Skeleton Warrior's level.
Although it was a bit reluctant, it was finally reached!
It was just more strenuous, and the mental energy consumed was far more than that of ordinary skeleton soldiers.
But with the support of massive energy points, after thousands of attempts, Richard went from being able to negotiate with only one Skeleton Warrior to slowly being able to negotiate with two, three, four at the same time.
Finally
,
he reached a deeper level.
Richard's mental tentacles could even barely reach those mental light balls that were at the same level as the Skeleton Warriors, but slightly stronger!
They were the mental light balls of the Skeleton Archers, Skeleton Guardians, Skeleton Berserkers, and so on.
Richard was overjoyed!
So, his mental tentacles kept contacting these mental light balls, and every contact was a constant exchange of information.
A Skeleton Archer without a prefix? No problem, as long as it's an Archer!
Is it a Skeleton Berserker with a disabled prefix? This is fine, at least it's a Skeleton Berserker!
Finally, vaguely feeling that the time was almost up, Richard's entire soul instantly returned to his body from the dream.
Richard called up the panel and took a look, and was immediately overjoyed.
[Witchcraft]: Summon Skeleton (Grandmaster 21%, Special Effect: Summoning Amplification, Mystic: Triple Summoning)
[Triple Summon: Three Skeleton Soldiers will be summoned]
[Summoning Amplification: Greatly improve the summoning effect by consuming extra mental energy]
The secret art of triple summoning has existed before, and the trick of controlling skeletons has also been slightly improved.
But this special effect was newly added, so Richard checked it carefully. At first glance, he felt that the description was a bit vague, but he had tested it in the dream space and the effect was very impressive.
Immediately, Richard began to summon on the spot. As the spell sounded, the inverted pentagram magic circle on the ground suddenly glowed with green light, and a thick bony hand stretched out from it.
With other parts revealed, the bone bow on the back clearly shows that this is a skeleton archer!
Next, the second place
was also a skeleton archer.
The
third one was a very tall skeleton, nearly 1.9 meters tall, holding a huge bone battle axe, looking very majestic. This was a Skeleton Berserker!
The fourth one was a Skeleton Guardian holding a sword and shield, with a faint green soul fire shining in his empty eye sockets, looking very calm.
When Richard saw the four-man skeleton team, which was so powerful, crawling out from the inverted pentagram formation one by one, he felt excited.
This is the power of the special effect - summoning amplification.
Although Richard consumed a large amount of his mental energy, the undead summons before him were all very powerful, comparable to ordinary first-level wizard apprentices.
Moreover, the combination of two archers was the result of Richard's deliberate choice.
Because he has the secret skill of possessing skeletons, he can exert his ability as a master of archery better than ordinary skeleton warriors and skeleton archers!
In the evening, a thin mist rose.
In the Underdark, near the blind murloc tribe camp.
The entire murloc camp was filled with water vapor, like a layer of gauze, making it difficult to see clearly.
Richard secretly lurked in a ferns bush, observing the gate of the merman camp and the mermen coming in and out.
After observing for a while, Richard discovered that, contrary to what he had expected, the more troublesome thing was that these fishmen basically never came in and out alone, but in groups.
A team of more than ten murloc warriors, holding a variety of weapons, seemed to be part of a murloc hunting team.
This happened for several consecutive times, which made Richard speechless.
This made his original plan of catching a lone fishman fail.
In this case, Richard decided to change his thinking.
Following a thirteen-man murloc hunting team, when the other party dispersed and prepared to start the hunt, Richard seized the opportunity and let the brain-eating monster possessed by the soul-eating spider instantly kill an ordinary murloc hunter and dragged him into a secret cave.
Under Richard's command, the Soul-Eating Spider slowly crawled out of the Brain-Eating Monster's mouth and then slowly crawled into the Murloc Hunter's mouth.
At this time, a very subtle and pure mental power and a faint soul energy were slowly transmitted from the Soul-Eating Spider to Richard's sea of consciousness. It seemed that the Soul-Eating Spider had already devoured the soul of the murloc hunter in front of it.
Richard tasted it carefully and found that the effect was far inferior to that of the brain-eating monster.
It seems that his previous guess was correct. The higher the quality and total amount of souls devoured by the Soul-Eating Demon Spider, the greater the benefit to its master Richard.
"Interesting! It seems that if I have the chance, I will have to take the initiative to find the brain-eating monster and kill it. If outsiders knew that I, a wizard apprentice, did not take the initiative to hide from the brain-eating monster, but chased it to kill it, I wonder what their expressions would be." Richard smiled mischievously.
After a while, the murloc hunter slowly crawled up as if he had been resurrected.
At this time, as the Soul-Eating Spider began to invade the brain nervous system of the Murloc Hunter, at Richard's request, one memory picture after another originally belonging to the Murloc was transmitted from the Soul-Eating Spider to Richard's mind like a slide show.
As the pictures unfolded one after another, Richard soon knew his approximate location in the Underdark.
The murloc hunter in front of him, as a local bumpkin, only knows about the entire Underdark in three places: the murloc tribe camp, the Darkwater Lake, and the Gray Fern Wilderness.
The Gray Fern Wilderness is where Richard is now. In the fishman's memory, the wilderness is full of ferns, especially gray ferns. So a long time ago, it was named gray fern and has been passed down to this day.
The fishmen didn't have the courage to hunt in the Gray Fern Wilderness at night, so they hunted only during the day. Because at night, the monsters in the depths of the Gray Fern Wilderness would come out to look for food, and the danger level would increase tenfold.
Richard was delighted when he saw this!
This was a good thing!
Now that his strength had greatly improved, as long as he did not go too deep into the Gray Fern Wilderness and just wandered around the Murloc camp, the monsters he encountered would not be very strong.
Imagine if there were very strong monsters, the Murloc camp would have been attacked and no longer exist. But if it was not strong, then it would be a power point that was delivered to your doorstep!
There was another piece of information that interested Richard. If you follow the trail to the Murloc camp and keep going west, crossing the Gray Fern Wilderness, you will reach the Gray Dwarf controlled area in about ten days. There is a Gray Dwarf town called Gray Fern Town there.
In the memory of the murlocs, the gray dwarves and the night elves were quite incompatible, and border frictions were common, but they were basically evenly matched and neither could do anything to the other.
Greyfern Town is the closest gray dwarf town to the murloc tribe. This murloc hunter has only been there once, and that was when he went there with the old murloc, the murloc prophet.
Greyfern Town was bustling and prosperous. Except for the night elves, all other races were welcome. Richard even saw the existence of underground humans in the memory of the murloc.
"Huh! It seems that some of the records of the bards in the library are wrong." Richard said to himself. He had read some biographies and books related to the Underdark before, which described that the life of humans underground was quite miserable, like a slave-like existence.
But referring to the scenes in the fishman's memory, the underground humans in Grey Fern Town are well-equipped, and judging from their attire, they come from all walks of life.
"Could it be that what those bards recorded were the living conditions of the underground humans in the areas controlled by the night elves?" Richard couldn't help but ponder.
At the same time, there is a big gate to the east of the murloc camp. If you walk along the east path for less than a few miles, you can see the vast dark water lake in the north, which is also the main hunting ground of the murloc tribe.
Hiss! Richard was speechless for a moment, and whispered: "Mercemen rely on fishing as their main source of food! Okay, I am superficial!"
If you walk east along the eastern path along the shore of Darkwater Lake for five or six days, you will reach the night elf town.
This murloc hunter had never been to this town.
