 After returning to the school' headquarters, Richard and Meiluo first went to the school's security department to report the news of Nikoro's accident.

  After taking the statement, they will not have to worry about the follow-up matters. A dedicated person from the Security Department will take over and be responsible for related matters, including on-site investigation, burial of remains, and notification of family members.

  The two exhausted people agreed to meet again in three days and returned to their dormitories. Before leaving, Meiluo took the heart of the Dead Swamp Crocodile and gave Richard five magic stones as compensation.

  The next morning, the dawn was just breaking.

  Richard was awakened by the severe pain in his legs. He finally understood why the swiftness potion with extraordinary effects was only sold for five magic stones, because the side effect was too painful.

  And the pain did not last for one day, but for three full days!

  As expected, cheap goods are not good!

  I remember the potion used by Senior Meiluo, which seemed to make the body lighter. I can ask her about it next time I see her.

  Yesterday, especially after seeing the powerful zero-level witchcraft of Emilia, the chief student in the previous batch, Richard decided to go to the library and choose a suitable zero-level witchcraft to focus on, so as to avoid encountering the situation of being unable to break the monster's defense again!

  The library of the Ignis School is located in the center of the teaching area and has a rich collection of books. However, every local library has its own book borrowing regulations, and the Ignis School is no exception.

  The school library has different borrowing rights according to the different levels of students. A first-level wizard apprentice can only borrow two wizardry books at a time, with a borrowing period of one month and a cost of one magic stone.

  In other words, if you borrow two books at a time and return them one month later, it will cost two magic stones.

  If I pay it back in advance?

  That will also cost two magic stones.

  However, general knowledge books such as "A General History of the Continent of Bias", "Travels of the Bard Oleg", "Illustrated Guide to Common Herbs in Pharmacy", etc. can be borrowed five times at a time without consuming magic stones.

  Enduring the pain, Richard limped to a huge tall and square building in the teaching area. It was the library of the Ignis School. The exterior facade of the wall was made of rare gray stone. The whole library looked simple and majestic.

  At this time, the library has just opened and there are very few students.

  Richard came to the counter, where a hunchbacked old man with gray hair was sitting casually, flipping through a book in his hands.

  The old man's exact age could not be seen, but his aura was much stronger than Richard's. According to Richard's observation, the other party was likely to be at the peak of the third-level wizard apprentice, that is, the kind of old students who had not successfully promoted to a formal wizard in 10 or 20 years, but had mastered many levels of wizardry.

  As the backbone of the school, second- and third-level wizard apprentices will not be expelled if they do not get promoted within five years.

  If there are still assessment requirements for level 2 wizard apprentices, then for level 3 wizard apprentices, the school basically has no restrictions, allowing them time to fully strive for the official wizard level!

  The old man didn't even turn his head or even raise his eyelids. He continued to look at his book and asked, "Level 1 apprentice? He should be a newcomer! If you know the rules, follow the ghost servant to find the book, and then come to me to register."

  "Yes, sir." Richard politely bowed to the old man, and began to talk about his needs with the ghost servant in spirit form beside him. After a while, the ghost servant quietly brought Richard to the two middle rows of bookshelves on the second floor.

  These two bookshelves respectively store the zero-level witchcraft of the shadow and undead series.

  Richard came here this time to find a relatively powerful offensive witchcraft. He planned to study it carefully and try to comprehend and master it as soon as possible to make up for the gap in his witchcraft attack.

  It would be best if you could directly learn top-notch zero-level witchcraft such as Shadow Grip and Death Bite.

  Richard thought very clearly that only by enhancing his strength could he complete the task safely, thereby earning points and magic stones to feed back to himself, forming a virtuous circle.

  Otherwise, it would be very difficult to deal with emergencies.

  The last encounter with the giant crocodile in the Dead Swamp was a good lesson!

  Richard spent nearly two hours going through it roughly, and he found that the shadow system has several powerful level zero attack spells, such as secondary shadow arrows, shadow shock, etc.

  There are also quite a few undead spells, such as Death Bite, Corpse Explosion, etc.

  But none of them seemed as good as the "Grasp of Shadows" in his hand.

  The biggest advantage of Shadow Grasp is that if used well, it is an offensive and defensive sorcery.

  Death Bite is also very good, but its characteristic is that the attack power is strong and continuous. However, given that his energy points are limited at present, he has to learn one skill first. After thinking about it, Richard feels that it would be best if he could master Shadow Grasp first.  

  I opened the cover and came to the introduction section, which read: Grasp of Shadow, a shadow-based zero-level attack witchcraft. After building the witchcraft model, it consumes a certain amount of mental power and condenses the dark element energy to attack or restrict the enemy.

  Those with strong mental power can freely control the changing forms of dark element energy.

  Prerequisite courses: "Basics of Mental Power Control" and "Application of Dark Energy Particles".

  This. Richard's face suddenly darkened!

  Could it be that it was the same as the "Rodriguez Meditation Method", where you couldn't get started directly and needed to learn or practice beforehand?

  So, Richard quickly looked for books related to his prerequisite courses, and soon found books related to the prerequisite course "Basics of Mental Power Control".

  But after flipping through a few pages, Richard's face became even darker, and his brows furrowed into a shape of a "川"! After flipping through the pages

  for

  a long time, Richard learned that in order to learn any powerful level-0 witchcraft, one must first practice meditation. Without meditation to condense and improve mental strength, it is almost impossible to support the casting of a level-0 witchcraft.

  Therefore, if Richard wanted to have witchcraft attack power as soon as possible, his only option was magic.

  The reason why a trick is called a trick is that it has little power, so it does not involve the construction of witchcraft runes, and the mental strength requirements are relatively low.

  This allows apprentices to practice before learning meditation.

  Richard suddenly realized it at this moment and recalled what Stefano had said before.

  "Some children are born with extraordinary mental strength and can perform magic without learning meditation. Many five or six-year-old children are afraid of the dark, and as a result, they accidentally perform light magic.

  But some children were afraid of the dark, so they used the Ignition Technique and burned the house down. "

  It seems that the idea of ​​directly learning high-powered level zero witchcraft is not feasible.

  If you want to improve your sorcery skills, you have to start with tricks!

  Fortunately, this book says that in the Ignis School, one of the best ways to train mental power is to learn the trick [Manipulating Skeletons].

  When your control over the trick [Manipulate Skeletons] reaches the proficient level or above, it means that you have reached the basic realm of mental control and have met the basic requirements for learning Shadow Grip.

  Hey! Doesn't this point coincide with what Master Ceres said in his comment on Rodrigo's meditation method? To some extent, it confirms each other!

  Ho! Seeing this, Richard seemed to understand a little.

  It should be that the more powerful the witchcraft, the more prerequisite courses or conditions it requires.

  Sure enough, Richard looked at another high-powered level-zero sorcery, Death Bite, and found that it also had prerequisites.

  No wonder Meiluo said last time that only a few people in their group learned the Death Bite. I guess this must be the reason.

  It seems that whether learning Rodrigo's meditation method or learning the subsequent high-powered level zero witchcraft Shadow Grasp, one needs to master the trick of [Control Skeletons] first.

  That's not bad!

  Once I master the trick to manipulate the skeleton, I can kill three birds with one stone!

  Not only can I master a trick directly, thus filling the gap in my witchcraft, but I can also lay a solid foundation for learning Rodrigo Meditation and Shadow Grip in the future!

  What? Magic tricks are not witchcraft?

  Don't treat bean buns as dry food!

  As long as it works.

  Finally, Richard went downstairs with two witchcraft books: the magic trick "Manipulation of Skeletons" and the zero-level witchcraft "Grip of Shadows".

  However, when Richard casually flipped through the magic book and read the introduction to "Manipulating Skeletons", he was shocked to find that such a magic trick actually had prerequisite learning content: "Human Osteology" and "Common Animal Osteology".

  Richard's head went dark and he almost fell headfirst onto the stairs!
