According to the promotion requirements of intermediate wizards, the only thing that Wayne has not achieved now is the number of spell runes branded by the Origin Descendant.

Do you have to have five spell runes per Origin Descendant?

Wayne looked at the Ghost Mystic Lord and the other descendants, counting the number of rune imprints on their eyebrows.

Among them, the center of the ghost's eyebrows has the most rune imprints, including Soul Eater Spell, Undead Summoning, Undead Rage, Corpse Explosion, Shadow Wrapping, Undead Transformation, Bone Wall, and Undead Claw, etc., a total of eight spell runes.

As a descendant of the elemental spell system, in addition to the Soul Devouring Rune, there are also Elemental Heart, Blinker, Fireball Technique, Lightning Arrow, and Spirit Shield, a total of six runes.

Although the driver is the second origin descendant of Wayne, because he chose the mechanical puppet system, there are not many runes imprinted, only three runes of the mechanical box, the cornerstone and the puppet manipulation technique.

The one with the least rune imprint is the Red Heart, which is the flesh and blood enhancement spell system of the Blood Spirit School, and so far only one Flesh Heart rune has been imprinted.

However, the Flesh Heart spell was the one that had improved Wayne the most and was the most satisfying to him.

Its powerful toughness level amplification effect has made him resist the urge to add points to upgrade it so far, so that he can maximize the increase in toughness level after the follow-up basic attributes are higher.

"In other words, now you only need the rune brand of the mechanical puppet and the flesh enhancement system to be promoted to the intermediate wizard......"

After Wayne understood this, he lowered his head and continued to look at the Junior Wizard's Codex.

"Note: For wizards of the arcane spell system, the Soul Devouring Rune Brand of each Origin Descendant can also be used as one of them."

This means that in addition to the Soul Devouring Runes, each Origin Descendant also needs four Rune Brands.

Wayne pursed his lips, he didn't have much time to learn the one or two spell runes.

"According to the statistics of the Fifth Age of the Wraith School, the average time to advance from a junior wizard to an intermediate wizard is one year and three months (excluding the arcane spell system)."

"However, unlike the apprenticeship period, the wizarding stage requires that in addition to mastering the drawing and imprinting of runes one by one, it also requires certain changes and innovations to be made to the spell runes learned."

Changing and innovating?

Have to?

Wayne frowned slightly, is this mandatory?

Everything else was easy to understand, but this one was the only one that confused him.

Why did the school force all wizards to innovate the original runes when the spell system was already documented?

Wouldn't that take more time?

It seems that there must be some reason for this......

Wayne continued to look through it, keeping this doubt in mind for the time being, and perhaps took the initiative to contact the Dean of Josue in the future.

"According to the relevant regulations of the School Wizard Management Office, within one year of being promoted to a junior wizard, you need to submit at least one research codex on the spell runes of the selected system, and there is no limit to spells."

"Note that wizards who fail to turn in the research codex on time will be flagged by the wizarding management office and given corresponding punishments, including but not limited to increasing the exchange price of relevant knowledge, reducing the content of the exchange list, etc."

Finally, it is emphasized again that the wizards of the necromancer system must learn the transformation of the undead, and at least one undead creature is transformed and sent to the undead world every year. The transformation of undead creatures is also included in the compulsory course of wizards in the system. ”

Wayne read all the contents, and had a clearer idea of what a junior wizard had to do.

At the same time, he was aware of the other problem - whether he joined the research center or not, he had to hand in a research note on spells every year.

However, compared with the fixed topic direction of the research center, the content on this codex is not required to be rigorous, or easy to promote, etc., leaving a lot of room for operation.

Wayne put down the codex, picked up a quill pen and wrote on the blank parchment.

Spell rune branding, it's not difficult for him, and even the related research notes are not a troublesome thing.

After all, when he learned that it would take a year to travel to the Southern Continent, he roughly laid out a few things to be accomplished during the voyage.

This includes elevating runes from proficient to proficient, preferably expert, to gain rune-related expertise.

However, he was still puzzled about what was in the codex.

For example, the requirement to force the innovation of spell runes - does it meet the change requirements if the errors and omissions of the spell runes are supplemented and improved? Is fusing the Death Origin Rune an innovation?

These are all things that he needs to ask someone to answer......

Looking for someone to ask?

Wayne frowned, if he wanted to know about the interior of the Ghost School, it would be most appropriate to ask Dean Josue about it.

But he has not yet decided whether to accept the invitation of the research center to set up a separate research institute, and finding him at this time will make him passive.

And he didn't know many wizards of the Ghost School, very few to be exact.

The only one left to choose was the Chief of Intelligence, the werewolf wizard Armitage......

Build No. 2348......

It just so happened that he also needed to know about the Black Pearl and the Sea Raven Clan, and he didn't know if the werewolf chief could provide it together.

As soon as he thought of it, Wayne directly activated the special contact.

This was the first time he had used it on his own initiative - as he pressed the gem button to activate the contact, he saw the nodes inside the trophy flicker, and a black illusory light curtain appeared in front of him.

"Please state your build number." A cold voice came out with a malicious intent.

Well?

Is it the effect of the runic power, or is there a role like an "operator" in transit after activation?

Wayne looked at the liaison in front of him and said thoughtfully, "337." ”

"Build Number 337, Name: Wayne Lovet, who would you like to contact?"

"I would like to contact the Chief of Intelligence, Wizard Armitage Fried, Internal Number 2348."

"Wait a minute......

After a few brief words of communication, Wayne was able to determine that it was not the so-called operator, but that the rune circle of this liaison had a similar rune structure.

The voice was too cold and stiff, more like a patchwork of voices.

He looked at the rune nodes on the trophy with interest, and now he really wanted to take this thing apart and study the rune circle inside.

This capability might be of greater use if it were placed elsewhere.

It didn't take long for a clear figure to slowly emerge above the trophy—a man dressed in black wizard robes, with thick hair on his head, sharp teeth, and indifferent vertical pupils.

"Good afternoon, Team Leader Wayne."

Leader?

Wayne reacted, this is what he calls him as the leader of the Shadow Group, "Good afternoon, Director Armitage." ”

"What's the matter?" Armitage's wolf face was a little impatient, as if he had disturbed something important.

"I'm sorry, Director Armitage, there are some things I want to know and I have to bother you."

"Oh?"

Seeing his reaction, Wayne thought of Armitage's resoluteness last time, without detouring, "I want to know about the Black Pearl and the Sea Raven Clan, and at the same time about the official wizard ......"

"Wait!" Before he could finish speaking, Armitage stretched out a fluffy wolf paw and interrupted, "You said it's the Sea Raven Clan?" The one on the sea in Cordo, the one with the anchor mark on the eyebrows? ”

"Yes, the Ravens." Wayne's heart moved, Sea Clan?

"Have you seen them?"

"Yes, I saw a few yesterday."

Director Armitage's mouth opened slightly, and he looked at him suspiciously, "Where did you see them?" ”

"At sea, not far from the west coast of the East Continent." Wayne asked quietly, "Director Armitage, is there anything wrong?" ”

"No, nothing, I haven't heard from them in years." Armitage's raised paw scratched the short hair on his chin, "You just said you want to know about the Black Pearl?" What do you want to know about them? ”

"Preferably all ......"

"All? Captain Wayne, I need to remind you that even within the ghosts, if you want to obtain some special information, you need to pay a certain price. ”

"Huh? Didn't you say last time that I could get all the intel in my area? ”

Director Armitage smiled dumbly, "So you're on the Sea of Cordo, and you want to get all the information there for free?" ”

Wayne sneered, "Of course...... No. ”

Isn't that just a little bit of information?

Stingy!

"Well, the intelligence of the Black Pearl is 3,000 gold pounds, and the Crow Clan is 5,000, for the sake of your identity as the leader of the Shadow Operation Group, all intelligence expenses will be discounted to you, a total of 4,000 ......."

"Four thousand gold pounds?!"

Damn, this one is a bit dark, isn't it?

Let's not talk about the crow clan, a famous pirate like the Black Pearl, there must be many people who have their basic information, and this costs 3,000 gold pounds?

"Don't compare the intelligence from our Ghost Intelligence Division to the garbage out there,"

Director Armitage saw through his thoughts, the corners of his mouth grinned at one side of his sharp teeth, and sneered: "For example, the intelligence of the Black Pearl includes not only the information of their crew, but also the abilities that these people are good at, as well as the basic information of their subordinate ships. ”

"And as for the ravens...... The last time they appeared, or what I saw, was five hundred years ago, and many people had never even heard of their names. ”

The meaning of the words, the information is precious, love or not!

"......" Wayne glanced at the bulging wallet on the workbench and gritted his teeth, "I want it, thank you Director Armitage." ”

"Wise choice, though," Armitage looked at him with a smirk, "but you can choose not to pay this money." ”

"Huh?"

"I only need you to provide a copy of the purpose of the appearance of those sea ravens, or the exact whereabouts of those sea ravens, and I can provide you with these two pieces of information for free."

Gratis......

Wayne looked deeply at Armitage's wolf face with a treacherous expression, and cursed secretly, this thing must be a werewolf, not some more shrewd race pretend?

Not to mention that he had made a deal with the Raven Clan before, and promised not to reveal information about them to anyone else.

The information that they were going to be the enemy of Isabello at the moment alone was probably worth far more than four thousand gold pounds.

"No, Director Armitage, it's only four thousand gold pounds...... I'm out! ”

Damn the Black Pearl, I'll have to spit it out the money the next time we see you.

Armitage shook his head a little disappointed, "Then let's make a deal, and ask Team Leader Wayne to transfer the intelligence fee later." ”

"Good ......"

"Anything else?"

"Yes!" Wayne took a deep breath, "As you know, I just made the cut, and I have a lot of confusion about the wizarding stage. ”

"Oh? What is it? ”

"For example, I saw a codex that stated that the spell runes I learned must be changed and innovated, are there any rules for such changes? Or is it a casual play? ”

"Change and innovation?" Armitage said lightly: "It's okay to be casual, those runes have existed for many years, and it is very difficult to make reasonable changes." ”

"The reason why the school asks for this is just that I hope you don't always want to inherit that knowledge, don't use your brains, and get it for nothing. That's probably similar to how you just wanted to get the intel for free......"

“…… So actually, you don't have to make changes? ”

Wayne clenched his fists, four thousand gold pounds is a huge amount of money, shouldn't he feel a little distressed?

"There are so many wizards in the school, there are always some stupid existences. But I guess that shouldn't include you, Captain Wayne, right? After all, you're a genius wizard who creates such powerful corpse blasts and flashing spells. ”

A smile flashed through Armitage's vertical pupils, "The topic of you is getting louder these days. ”

"Huh? What topic? Wayne asked in hindsight.

"Since the internal restructuring of the school and the formation of various research centers, you are the first genius wizard to have a wizard claim to follow!"

Wayne slowly opened his mouth wide, "Follow, me?" ”

"Hearing this," Armitage grinned, "do you have any thoughts of returning to the school?" Of course, if someone is impressed by your ability, there must be someone who is not convinced. ”

"If you do return to the school, glory and trouble will definitely surround you, and when the time comes, ......"

"I'm sorry, Director, but I don't plan to return to the school yet."

Without waiting for him to finish, Wayne shook his head directly.

When he first heard that there were followers, he still felt very fresh, and even had a hint of joy in his heart.

But he couldn't be happy at the thought that those wizards were because of the effects of his spells......

What if someone really forced him to take out the research notes of those spells, or a guide or something, wouldn't he be exposed?

At this moment, he was extremely glad that he had chosen not to return to the school in the first place!

"It's up to you to decide, but I'll give you a piece of advice when it comes to the study of spells."

The smile on Armitage's face disappeared, and he stretched out a claw and nodded, "In addition to worrying about the wizard's unearned gains, the most fundamental reason for forcing you to change and innovate spell runes is to prevent you from being affected by the will hidden in the runes. ”

Will?

Wayne's heart fluttered, the same word the Joker had said before.

"Is there really such a thing?"

"Yes, and much more than you might think, especially some of the old monsters in the middle and late Third Age, and the chaotic period of the last Age."

Armitage's eyes gradually turned cold, "They attach their original will to knowledge, in vain to be able to resurrect and awaken one day, but it is just a common trick of the rats in the gutter. ”

"Resurrection?"

"I'm not good at the specific methods because the knowledge involved is too profound, but as far as I know, some wizards within the ghost have achieved resurrection in this way-"

There are resurrected people?!

Wayne's heart shook, and he suddenly remembered a record he had read before.

"If the Origin Will is attached, is it possible to make other people's Origin into runes?"

"Oh?" Armitage frowned, as if puzzled that he would ask such a question, "Where did you see that?" ”

Wayne subconsciously clenched his fists and said vaguely, "Thinking nonsense." ”

He can't tell the other party that this is the basics of runic literature, right?

The quote of a great wizard who is said to be in the middle of the Third Age - give me a little time, and I will turn the gods into Origin Runes!

"Your idea, that's good."

Armitage looked at him deeply, "That's the correct way to use Origin Attachment, to put it simply, to erase its will, retain only its Origin power, and finally form it into a rune. ”

Is there really such a way?

Wayne nodded quietly, "It seems that I thought it was right by mistake......"

It's just that no one has really implemented this method since it was proposed. Or rather, the great wizard who came up with this theory did it, but failed to pass it on. ”

Speaking of this, Armitage looked at Wayne and sighed: "Maybe those wizards who want to follow you have the right choice, with your current level and knowledge accumulation, maybe your future achievements will exceed everyone's imagination." ”

"Director, you've won the prize."

"Alright, according to the question I just answered for you, I will benefit you with two hundred gold pounds."

“…… Are you serious? ”

Wayne was thundered by this sentence.

Damn, ask a few questions, and I'll charge Lao Tzu 200 gold pounds?!

"Of course, in the wizarding world, everything has a price," Armitage grinned, "looking forward to meeting you next time, Captain Wayne." ”

As the words fell, his figure dissipated, and the liaison slowly fell silent.

In the entire studio, only the sound of Wayne's increasingly heavy and rapid breathing remained.

"Damn, it's two hundred gold pounds, why don't you grab it!?"

It's not so fast, is it?

Wayne was deeply hurt by the operation of the intelligence chief, two or three questions, an average of one hundred gold pounds?

Simply, bandits, thugs, hooligans!

With such resentment, Wayne wrote down the list of information he wanted to exchange, as well as the damn consultation fee, and put four thousand two hundred gold pounds directly into the blue and white box.

Hmph, I'll write these down for you first!

Aren't you interested in the intelligence of the Sea Raven Clan?

See the time, how do I charge, wait!

As the gold pound teleported out, it didn't take long for the blue and white box to flicker and light up, and after a few muffled pops, Wayne opened the box and took out the contents.

I saw twenty rolls of parchment, fifteen of which were about the Black Pearl, and five of which were of the Sea Ravens.

Wayne looked at the parchment, "So much...... Forget it, let's wait until we have time. ”

The most important thing now is to give priority to improving strength, and this information will be read in the next few days.

Thinking of this, Wayne took out another blank piece of parchment, looked for the exchange list of the wizard stage, and looked up the relevant knowledge about the mechanical golem and the flesh enhancement spell system.

Of course, he didn't forget to exchange some knowledge about mechanical transformation for subsequent research on undead transformation.

Mechanical golem stand-in, within a certain distance, the caster and the mechanical golem can swap positions to resist attacks instead of the caster. The exchange price is 680 gold pounds.

Mechanical Golem Teleportation, a spell that can teleport a mechanical golem to a specific location, can ignore the limitations of distance and obstacles to a certain extent. The exchange price is 900 gold pounds.

……

Boiling blood, after activation, increases the explosiveness of the body, and the exchange price is 730 gold pounds.

Heals, can quickly recover from physical injuries, exchange ......

Wayne studied for more than two hours, and specially exchanged an introduction to some spell rune patterns, so he selected the spell runes he needed.

It cost nearly two thousand gold pounds, and a total of two mechanical puppet system spells, and four flesh enhancement system spells.

"The average exchange price of a spell is five hundred gold pounds, which is still after a twenty-percent discount......

It has to be said that the price of exchanging knowledge in the wizarding stage is more than ten times more expensive than the apprenticeship period.

Plus it's all to blame for the damn intelligence!

If it weren't for the fact that he had just scavenged a batch of gold pounds from the Storm Hunter and the proceeds from making the anti-alien potion, he would have been back to the days of nibbling on black bread by now.

However, of the more than 7,000 gold pounds, there are only 330 gold pounds left......

Hey, you still have to make more money.

Wayne glanced at the time on the clock, and found that it was still early at night, so he opened the spell scroll he had just obtained to learn how to draw the runes on it.
