Defeating the Legendary Ghost, the Skeleton Mage did not kill his opponent, but instead used a seven-ring magic ghost coffin spell to control the Legendary Ghost.

The core goal of the skeleton mage to capture the legendary ghost alive is to absorb the soul fire of the legendary ghost so that he can become a legend.

Because the Legendary Ghost Soul Fire is far more powerful than the Skeleton Mage, it can only be absorbed slowly.

After the battle, the expedition team was ready to go. After all, the timing was too good, and after a fierce battle, both sides were already defeated. Now that the Legendary Spirit's mana has been depleted, it is no longer a threat to the expedition team, and it has been reduced to fish.

Although the skeleton mage side still has some strength, there are more than 600 soldiers left, and most of their own mana is consumed, and they are far from being the opponent of the expedition team.

As long as you destroy this skeleton, you can get a lot of soul crystals, even if you go back and destroy the plane passage, this harvest is already very good.

After careful deliberation with Sylph and William, Richard decided not to rush to the ground for now, after all, the battlefield was too close to the dimensional passage. If the news is leaked, the high-level undead are repeatedly searched, and the coordinates of the plane passage are nearby, and there is a certain risk of leakage.

After making their decision, the expedition team cautiously followed behind the skeleton army.

The skeleton mage's lair was about thirty kilometers away from the battlefield, and Richard and the others followed for two and a half hours before they came to the skeleton mage's hiding place.

In order to hunt the legendary ghosts, the two skeleton mages have cleared the three nearby undead lairs, and because of this, the density of undead in the western part of the plane passage is not as high as that in the southeastern region.

Following the skeleton mage to the lair, Richard estimated that it was about sixty kilometers away from the plane passage, which was barely enough to move.

"Do it!" Richard slammed his left hand, and the twelve expedition members immediately attacked.

The warrior class took the lead, and the mage followed.

Wendini and Sophia are the most magical, unleashing the Fire Cloud Spell and the Agility Orb, respectively. These two spells are eight-ring spells, and they are very lethal.

A large cloud of fire struck the army of skeletons, and in an instant, magical flames fell from the sky, burning forty undead creatures at once.

The two mid-level skeleton warriors managed to survive the fire cloud spell because of their stronger magic resistance, and were easily shattered by the soul fire and beheaded by William and Sylph.

Silf and William have both been promoted to legends, and their melee abilities are extremely terrifying. The two of them were like two sharp arrows, piercing into the depths of the army of the undead in the blink of an eye.

As soon as the Fire Cloud Technique passed, the Agility Magic Ball hit it, and the Skeleton Mage hurriedly released a high-level force field protection, barely blocking the Agility Magic Ball.

However, the Agility Orb is a range of magic, and although it did not severely damage the skeleton mage, it successfully exploded in the skeleton group, and also successfully killed more than thirty low-level skeletons.

After Wendini and Sophia made a move, Richard, Eve, and Wendy made a move, Richard released the seven-ring magic flame dragon, Eve also released the return of the undead, and Wendy released a chain of lightning spells.

The first round of mages attacked very violently, especially the flame dragon released by Richard, which was more powerful than the nine-ring magic flame meteor. Richard had already awakened a powerful spell-casting talent, and the power of the spells released by his hands was about twice as high as that of standard magic, coupled with the blessing of the body of flame on the fire attribute spells, although this spell was seven rings, its lethality was far beyond that of standard nine-ring magic.

Although Richard didn't put in more mental power, the destructive power of this spell effect was already about four or five percent of the legendary magic.

The lethality of the magic released by Eve and Wendy is also good, especially when Wendy holds the Thunderbolt Staff and releases thunderbolt-type spells, which are more powerful than the magic of the Seven Rings.

Three spells successfully hit a large number of skeletons, killing and injuring more than a hundred skeleton warriors at once.

In particular, the Flame Dragon released by Richard directly killed more than seventy undead, including a sixth-order skeleton mage, and severely damaged the undead creatures.

The magicians led by Richard and Sophia killed more than 200 undead creatures in just one round of spells, causing a large attrition to the enemy.

In order to capture the legendary ghost alive, the skeleton mage under his command killed and wounded more than 1,000 heads. Now there were only more than 600 skeletons left, and after a round of magic strikes, about a third of them were killed or wounded.

At the same time, Sutton, Wilde, Soros, Jennings, and Jora shot almost simultaneously.

The five Sutton are all high-level professionals, although the impact power is not as good as that of Silver, William, and they can kill and injure many skeletons in a short period of time.

Sutton, Jora, and Wilde also mastered the bloodline spell, killing a large number of skeletons after using it.

In an instant, the skeleton army was defeated.

Hilf and William were extremely impactful, and in the blink of an eye, they had rushed to the skeleton mage's side. Seeing that the skeleton mage was about to use magic to escape, William immediately used the Giant Bear Transformation Spell.

In an instant, William's body swelled and turned into a six-meter-tall giant bear, only to see him fan the size of his giant hand and easily smash the skeleton that stood in the way. Before the skeleton mage could release the spell, the estimate was shattered by William, and the soul fire was also extinguished by Silver, and he easily died at the hands of the two.

As soon as the Skeleton Mage died, the magic coffin spell it unleashed was invalidated, and the Legendary Ghost was freed.

It's a pity that the legendary ghost was unlucky, and at this time, the magic in his body was exhausted, and he couldn't escape at all, and died easily at the hands of Sophia.

As soon as the High Skeleton Mage died, the Skeleton Army was left uncommanded, and immediately fell into chaos.

The remaining few mid- and low-level skeleton mages, although they had some wisdom, did not belong to each other, and were quickly wiped out by the expedition team.

After killing all the skeletons, Richard and the others carefully cleaned up the battlefield and used the energy absorbing stones to suck away the magical energy left nearby.

The two High Skeleton Mages possessed sixty cubic meters of space bags, which were supposed to be relics of their deaths.

Before the blue plane was transformed into the necromantic realm, it was also an extraordinary world, with a very high level of magical civilization and many legendary level masters. Back then, in order to rescue the Azure Plane, the Dawn Plane also sent a lot of good hands.

When these high-ranking professionals die, many of them are transformed into undead creatures.

Sixty cubic meters of space bag, worth more than 200,000 gold coins, was given by Richard to Sophia for use.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the soldiers divided into two routes, William, Soros, Wendy, and Sophia were watching nearby, and Richard and others were scouting the western half of the plane passage.

The reconnaissance and surveillance lasted for five or six days, and after seeing that there was nothing abnormal, the expedition team returned to the Dragon Canyon through the plane passage.

The expedition, which lasted about ten days, scouted about 6,000 square kilometers of land, and killed legendary undead creatures on the benefit of fishermen.

In a few days, Sophia had already opened the Skeleton Mage Space Bag, and the harvest from the Space Bag was also very rich.

The first is the negative energy crystals, a total of 3,000 of which have been found.

In the Necromantic Realm, because the core of the realm was refined by the Lord of the Undead, the operation of magical energy is very special. Once a magical world is transformed into the Necromantic Realm, the Magic Crystal can slowly transform into negative energy crystals, which can only power the undead magic.

Although the use of negative energy crystals is quite limited, and it is not as good as magic crystals to power all kinds of magic, but due to the factor that things are scarce and expensive, the price of negative energy crystals in the dawn plane is five or six percent more expensive than that of magic crystals.

Although there is no necromancer in the Harland Territory, three thousand negative energy crystals can still play an important role.

Relying on the magic materials collected in the necromantic realm, the alchemists of the Harland Collar can refine a batch of special magic items, which can release undead magic, just enough for negative energy crystals to power this batch of special items.

Richard and Wendini used some white bones rich in negative energy to create a batch of death ray guns with reference to the Scorching Ray Gun manufacturing technology, because the death ray is a three-ring magic, and the lethality of this batch of magic items is even better than that of the Scorching Ray Gun.

There are not only negative energy crystals in the storage bag, but also more than one hundred and sixty soul crystals, these soul crystals are the collectibles accumulated by the skeleton mage for many years, and now they are all cheap Haaland Leader Magician.

Coupled with the harvest of cleaning the battlefield, in this expedition to the necromantic realm, Haaland led to find about two hundred soul crystals, and the harvest was even better than the last princess mausoleum.

Among these two hundred soul crystals, in addition to the legendary soul crystals dropped by the legendary ghosts, there were also four high-level soul crystals, which Sophia quickly refined into the Styx potion after returning.

Since Richard's mental power exceeded fifty points, taking the Styx potion was of little help. Sophia used the legendary Styx potion once, and the effect of the second use was only about half of the last time, plus her mental power has exceeded forty points, even if she refines this Styx potion, at most she will increase her spiritual power, which is almost dispensable.

Wendini's mental power is also over forty points, and taking the legendary Styx potion will waste a lot of medicinal power.

In order to maximize the value of this potion, Richard and Wendini decided to leave the legendary Styx potion to Wendy, and the remaining four high-level Styx potions are inclined to elven mages, and the most priority is Eve, who participated in the two expeditions.

After refining a bottle of water of life, Wendy's spiritual power has thirty-two points, eleven points more than the average six-ring magician, four of which are due to drinking the water of life, and the remaining seven points are because of the results of magic research.

In addition to the precious resources of negative energy crystals and soul crystals, the most precious loot is the space bag of the skeleton mage, which has sixty cubic meters inside, and it is already a ninth-order magic prop, which is owned by Sophia.

Soon after the expedition team returned to Haraland, William decided to go south to serve the Grant family, and after he became legendary, he became more prominent in the system of the Grant kingdom, and was directly appointed governor of Ferdinand.

The system of the Kingdom of Grant rarely has a governor. Even in the three northern provinces of the war zone, the provincial consuls and the corps commanders shared the power of both military and political sides. Although the main army commander is more powerful, the royal family will not easily concentrate the power of a province in the hands of the army generals.

Generally speaking, the Governor is a temporary position. For example, Earl Steven, after suppressing the rebellion of the Three Earls of the South, served as the governor of the southern occupation zone for several years.

William's position as governor of Ferdinand's province is estimated to be a temporary position, which will be revoked when the situation in the south changes, and William will lose his position as the captain of the Grizzly Legion, like Earl Steven, and return to his fiefdom to retire.

With William's military and political control in Ferdinand's southern province, the influence of the Haaland family in the south has become more prominent, and many Harland caravans have led caravans with William. These caravans were mainly engaged in smuggling in the south, collecting people by the way.

Haaland led a population increase of more than 750,000 last year, and the existing schools are no longer enough.

In January this year, Haaland led to increase investment in education, not only eight colleges and universities began to recruit students, but also built eight new primary schools and two middle schools.

After 20 years of development, Haaland has a relatively sufficient talent pool, especially some low-level talents, such as primary school teachers, can be easily recruited.

Today, Haaland has 32 primary schools, eight secondary schools, and a small number of college students, bringing the number of students in Haaland to more than 50,000. The talents that Haaland can cultivate every year are far more than those cultivated by the Grant royal and aristocratic system.

In January, Haaland began pardoning indentured slaves ahead of schedule.

There are 320,000 indentured slaves who have expired this year, and they will be pardoned before spring ploughing in these years, and the land will be divided, and with the indentured slaves pardoned this year, the number of free people in Haaland's territory has approached 1.5 million.

The political treatment of the freedmen, the income level is far higher than that of the indentured slaves, although it is the first year of freedom, there is not much property on them, but because of the distribution of land and houses, as well as the seeds of government loans, there is still a lot of income in a hard year, and it is also a population with spending power.

With a consumer population of 1.5 million, the domestic demand market is probably a step ahead of the export market.

Of the 1.5 million freedmen, about 100,000 have been educated and educated. After 20 years of hard work, Richard has cultivated more than 100,000 educated people.

With these 100,000 educated talents, Haaland has laid the foundation for rapid development.

Thirty-two primary schools have recruited 12,000 new students this year, and testing the qualifications of 12,000 people has made the Harland Mage Association very busy.

Fortunately, the Haaland Mage Association now has sufficient manpower, and the testing qualification no longer requires the intervention of the high-level of the territory. However, Richard's daughter, Margaret, participated in the task of testing qualifications.

Of the more than 12,000 new students, about 114 people with magical qualifications were detected, and the probability was still relatively stable, maintaining about one percent.

With the addition of this year's preparatory apprentices, the total number of Haaland Mage Associations has exceeded seven hundred, which is close to the number of large magical organizations. However, the number of official mages is still relatively small, as of late January this year, there are a total of 159 mages, and the number of mages is still quite different from that of the Grant Mage Association.

Today, in the Harland Mage Association, there are about twenty or thirty magicians who can be promoted in a year. The rate of replenishment of new blood is relatively fast. The Grant Mage Association, which has been in operation for a longer time, only adds a dozen new magicians a year, which is not as fast as the development speed of the Harland Leader Mage Association.

At the current trajectory, in about five or six years, the magical power of Haaland will surpass that of the Grant family.

Entering the second half of January, there was a lot of good news from the Harland Mage Association, first of all, the elven mage Eve, who participated in two expeditions, and after taking the high-grade Styx potion, he quickly broke through the bottleneck and was promoted to the Seven Rings.

Eve's age is more than two hundred years old, according to the standards of elves, just entered adulthood, although elves are very long-lived and are born with extraordinary species, but the speed of bloodline maturation is very slow.

Ordinary elves are promoted to the highest level at the age of three or four hundred. Eve can be promoted to the seventh ring at the age of two hundred, which is already very talented among elven mages.

Soon after Eve was promoted, Butler was also promoted to the fifth ring, and Adrian and Berica were also successfully promoted to the fourth ring. The backbone grows and strengthens the thickness of the Harland Mage Guild.
