Chapter 8 Important things are always forgotten

The afternoon class was a spell defense class, which happened to be taken by Kaelsa as well.

So the apprentice of the mage held the "Nightmare" alive and refused to return it to Charles, saying that he would return it after class......

"Why sit in the back? Wouldn't you hear better by sitting in the front? Charles was dragged to the penultimate row by Kylesah, who had thought that this mage apprentice was a top student who studied hard.

But now it seems that he is just a guy who sleeps in class......

"Do you see someone sitting in the front row......" If it weren't for the face of the book in his arms, Kaelsa would have scolded Charles for being an idiot.

The first four rows were empty...... Whether knights or mages are all crammed behind.

What the hell, in fact, Charles still wants to sit in the front row and study hard, he must now quickly improve his combat effectiveness. Otherwise, when the human paladins call, he will have to get a bento.

He's not a warrior who believes in the Light right now, he's just an elite monster of a military academy dungeon who hasn't graduated yet...... Of course, the elite is only for players who are still weak at this time.

"There is a chance that you will be caught by the teacher to test spells, and if you are unlucky, you will be sent to the infirmary." Kaelsa had apparently seen such unfortunate ghosts.

"Then you won't be arrested on stage if you sit in the back...... "No matter what, the teacher will arrest people, especially when a bunch of bastards are sitting in the back, they must be arrested."

"You must be caught in the front, and you will be caught in the back...... Which do you choose? "The Mentor's urine has long been mastered by Kelsa, and he doesn't want to go to the infirmary to lie down.

Charles was speechless, but as a complete newcomer to the academy, he felt it was best to follow the old bird's teachings, especially as Kaelsa seemed to be quite shrewd.

The gray-robed skeleton pushed the teachers away, making a clatter with every step, and the professor of the Spell Defense class was also a lich. But unlike Sybil, he didn't care what his body looked like, as long as he could cast spells. So he perfectly presented the evil appearance of a skeleton lich, the cold blue fire peeking through its eyes, and the dry hand bones lay flat on the table.

According to the "Schrödinger's Lich" theory, the lich named Bismarck is in a quantum paradox, but there is nothing on the skeleton's body that does not indicate that he is hanging.

"The content of our class today is how to defend against the priest's psychic scream," unlike normal people's vocalizations, the voice of the bone frame Bismarck is like a broken radio, "Most of the priest's divine power comes from oracles, but the psychic screaming is different from those divine spells, this is a spiritual spell in the real sense, so even I can use it." ”

Kelsa leaned his head closer to Charles and lowered his voice, "Bismarck is the authority on the materialization of fantasy, and generally skeletonized lichs directly communicate with everyone in the classroom, because they are no longer able to speak, but Bismarck directly used magic to create throats and vocal cords, and I heard that he dissected dozens of people before he fully mastered this technique." ”

The lichs have strange hobbies...... After all, Charles was not a player of the Undead Empire, so it was the first time he had learned about the 'scientific spirit' of these boring guys.

"Then next, I will demonstrate the effect of this spell for everyone, is there any student who would like to demonstrate it as a real person?" The lich looked around with his fiery eyes.

Live demonstration...... Sounds familiar......

"Hiding under the table over there, yes, yes, it's you, don't look at others, you're a werewolf, right?" The lich's finger bone twitched toward the penultimate row, and a screaming girl flew out of her seat.

Bottoms pink! Charles couldn't help but be moved by his dynamic visuals! However, werewolves look similar to ordinary people, and they still have to wait for their transformation to see the difference.

"This dead rider is really unlucky, oh, it seems to be a first-year, and he can be ready to call someone from the infirmary." Kaelsa gloated.

No wonder it's a single dog...... But Charles still wondered if it was really that scary......

The girl standing opposite the lich turned pale, but then gritted her teeth and stared at the lich like a heroic warrior, and even Charles, who was sitting in the back row, felt the courage that emanated from her.

"Psychic screaming is a skill that the ascetics of the Glacier Abbey have learned, and it works by a simple mechanism of evoking the deepest memories and fears in your heart, and then constructing false illusions. It has a mass fear effect on the battlefield, especially for the undead who have come back from a tragic death, and can effectively tear through the formation of troops. The lich continued to speak in his eerie voice, and then the ringed phalanx pointed at the girl again, "The heart screamed. ”

In an instant, Charles seemed to hear countless resentful spirits galloping by, but only for a moment, everything around him was calm again.

The already bloodless girl was now pale, she twisted her body like a dying caterpillar, clutching her neck frantically, wanting to scream but couldn't scream, and then large strands of tears were choked, and then bright red blood replaced tears, overflowing from the corners of her eyes. The girl knelt on the ground like a rag doll that had been broken, and the blood slid down the sides of her cheeks, dripping to the ground.

Vomit, a mouthful of blood mixed with something squirted out, the bloody girl shook and fell down.

Isn't it just fear...... This is clearly causing harm to the person's body......

"It's Bismarck, if it continues to study this spell in depth, it is estimated that the first-year student just now will be killed on the spot." Kelsa watched with relish, as if what had happened to the girl just now had nothing to do with her, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"You don't have to do this in class......" Charles watched as a male rider ran out with a girl on his back, and looking at the other man's expression, the injured girl was either his girlfriend or his sister.

"The lich will control its power when it strikes, but I guess the werewolf chick just now had some serious trauma in her heart, and she happened to be drawn out by Bismarck's improved spell just now. It's a first-year student again, his own magic resistance is low, and his knowledge of dealing with spells is small, in fact, this kind of thing is also an accident. ”

Charles had already remembered, and his esteemed mentor Uther had told him that he was going to be a real demonstration next week...... Just seeing the girl's bloody face made him feel like he was going to braid......

"Are there a lot of accidents like this?" Charles asked cautiously, fearing that the next time he would not be able to control the lich he cast, he would kill him.

"Not much."

Oh, that's okay, the heart hanging in mid-air began to slowly fall.

"Probably once a month."

Charles felt his heart pound to the ground......

"Death Riders lack the means to resist, and generally have to accept the blessing of anti-psychic attacks before the start of the fight, or bring their own anti-terror enchantment equipment, but if their own spirit is stronger than that of the priest who casts the spell, they can also resist it. But the priests who cast this spell were generally ascetics, and their spirits were even stronger than those of ordinary necromancers. If you are a spellcaster, you can cast a spirit barrier on yourself, which is effective against the effects of the fear spell. ”

According to the spellcasters of this world, **, soul, and spirit are three things, magic is attached to the soul, power is attached to **, and spirit represents control and resistance to magic.

This attribute is put in the game, which is will. Ascetics have a very high will, and some of them are even able to achieve magic immunity. And the lich's strong mental will allows them to perfectly control every spell.

Charles guesses that the elite template should have a high will, but all players use the normal template, and he can't be sure how high his spirit is.

Next, a mage apprentice was used as a demonstration, and the lich cast a psychic scream again, this time with a spiritual barrier, and the mage apprentice with a higher will just shook his body and survived.

"This apprentice is not simple, do you see the golden oak leaf on his chest, only the lich's own apprentice can get it." Kaelsa was envious, but in Charles's opinion, it was about the same level as his own red robe.

So he hummed nonchalantly.

"The mage apprentice will only stay in the military academy for three years, and the top grades may be selected by the lich to study in the workshop, and those who are almost employed on their own, and now the administrators of the Imperial Library are all apprentices who have not been selected after graduation, and those who are unlucky have run to work as roadside snack vendors. Normally, only seven or eight out of a hundred apprentices will be chosen by the Lich, but the Redcoat will definitely make it to the Workshop. ”

The employment situation is quite grim, Charles pinched the sweat for Kelsa, but this guy is studying so hard, he must be aiming to enter the workshop.

"I think you're okay." Charles patted Kaelsa on the shoulder and looked at his new acquaintance with enthusiasm.

"What is okay......

"Enter the workshop."

"Please, my goal isn't to enter the workshop." Kaelsa asked Charles to spread his palm, then tapped in his palm.

"Psychic communication, this is a voice that only you and I can hear, my next goal is to go to the human kingdom to learn classical spells, and now the spells that are common in the Undead Empire are all improved versions, I feel the need to contact the original. Finding the true meaning of magic is my goal. ”

Charles looked at the other party's smug eyes, and couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, is the ideal to go to work as coolies for the wizards who live in the tower......

Spellcasters who inhabit the human kingdom call themselves wizards, and the lich generally believes that this title is in keeping with the backward nature of the other party. The establishment of small workshops at home was characteristic of the study of magic in the old days. The lichs have long since abandoned this kind of closed-door behavior and conducted large-scale experiments with the support of the state to test various magical theories.

Unlike the process of training necromancers in the Lich, each wizard takes a few apprentices. The sorcerer is equal to the landlord, the apprentice is equal to the hard labor, and the apprentice is responsible for cooking and buying vegetables, and even planting and picking herbs. Sometimes apprentices are even sent on bounty missions, and the bounty goes to the wizard, and the apprentice does not have a single copper plate.

Charles took the books back from Kelsa, and it was already dusk, and he stood in front of the main building of the Military Academy, "It's ...... school."

He always felt like he had forgotten something...... But since I can't think of it, I guess it's not a big deal.
