This wizard only wants to take students.

Chapter 122: Hand of Shadow
Graybone Academy Library.

“Sir.” When two wizard apprentices who were reading documents in the library saw Lucian, especially when they saw some mysterious purple patterns on the latter’s wizard robe, they stopped what they were doing, made way for Lucian, and bowed to him.

"Yeah." Lucian walked quickly past the two wizard apprentices, walked to a corner of the library, passed through a witchcraft barrier, and then walked along the hidden stairs to the basement of the Gray Bone Library.

At the end of the stairs, there was an ancient bone snake statue. When it sensed someone coming, the statue began to move slowly, and its stone eyes gradually glowed red, releasing a pressure no less than that of a formal wizard, as if warning outsiders not to get close.

However, as Lucian took out a bone token, the scarlet eyes of the revived bone snake statue gradually dimmed, and then it curled up its body again and fell silent again.

clack clack...

Behind the bone snake statue, there was a secret door that slowly opened.

"Is this the paid library set up by the dean?" Lucian looked at the slightly dim environment inside and his mind moved. Then he released his mental power, but it was blocked by a special barrier.

sizzle...

The bone snake statue's eyes turned to Lucian and made a small warning sound.

At the same time, Lucian felt a breath locking him tightly, even making him feel a chill down his spine.

Although he didn't know where this aura came from, Lucian had a feeling that if he acted rashly, once this aura erupted, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

"Are these some of the methods left behind by the second-level wizards..." Lucian had a rough guess in his mind. At the same time, he quickly restrained his mental power and opened his hands to indicate that he had no ill intentions.

After a moment of stalemate, Lucian finally felt the creepy aura slowly leaving his body. At the same time, the bone snake statue next to him withdrew its gaze from him and fell silent again.

Lucian quietly entered this somewhat dark passage.

Tap, tap, tap... The light footsteps were particularly clear in the enclosed tunnel, and the ancient candlesticks set up in the tunnel would always quietly light up pale flames before Lucian arrived, and then automatically extinguish after Lucian left.

Because he had been warned once before, Lucian did not release his mental power to explore the tunnel. After walking about 200 meters, he finally left the dense area, and what appeared in front of him was a small underground library.

The only difference from the libraries in public is that the books on the shelves of this library are obviously much scarcer, and there is a special barrier on the surface of the shelves that prevents Lucian from touching it.

Tiny black snakes as thin as silk threads crawled out from the cracks on all sides. These snakes gradually gathered and merged, slowly forming a whole in Lucian's body.

It has a snake's tail, a seductive upper body similar to that of a human woman, and also has long black hair.

At this moment, the eyes on the creature's human face were closed, but the snake-like hairs were slightly raised, and the red eyes on each snake-like hair were looking at Lucian.

She smiled but spoke fluent wizard language, "Young wizard from the Gray Bone Academy, I am the manager here."

"According to the master's rules, as an official wizard of the Gray Bone Academy, you can choose two official wizardry from the 16 official wizardry collected by the master for free. Of course, you can also use the free privileges to exchange other knowledge with the master. However, if you want to exchange more, you need to make an exchange..."

“Master?” Lucian’s mind moved, and he realized that the creature in front of him, who looked somewhat like an intelligent snake mother, should be the slave or puppet of the dean of Graybone Academy.

With the help of the many magic arrays set up by the dean and some tricks, the fighting power she unleashed in this underground library was enough to crush ordinary formal wizards.

But soon Lucian's attention shifted from the snake mother to a list she handed over.

Hand of shadow, icy shadow...

Lucian quickly glanced through some information about the 16 formal witchcrafts on the list, but what disappointed him was that these formal witchcrafts were all relatively ordinary, and their value was much worse than the several types of blood magic he learned from Carly.

"Mr. Administrator, I hope to obtain the witchcraft model [Hand of Shadow]." Lucian quickly browsed through the basic information of these witchcrafts, and then spoke respectfully.

The snake mother nodded but did not move, apparently waiting for the second spell that Lucian would choose.

"For the second spot, I hope to gain some knowledge about nightmare life. I have been entangled by a nightmare life recently and need to get rid of it as soon as possible..."

Lucian stated his demands.

The scarlet snake eyes on the snake mother's hair stared at Lucian for a long time, as if she was thinking, or observing, but soon, under the control of the snake mother, five books flew out from the bookshelf and landed in front of Lucian.

"All five books here meet your requirements, but your one formal wizard's exchange qualification is not enough to exchange them." The Snake Mother said silently. "According to the rules left by the master, the value of this knowledge is 3.2 formal wizards. But I must tell you that the value of the two wizards given by the master cannot be retained. For example, if you exchange this book worth 0.8 formal wizards, then the remaining 0.2 difference cannot be accumulated to the next time."

"If I am willing to pay a price in exchange, what should I pay?" Lucian asked as he used his mental power to check the simple descriptions of these books.

“Knowledge, knowledge that is useful to the master.” The snake mother looked at Lucian with a smile and waved her hand. Suddenly, a densely packed list appeared, recording numerous names.

Lucian’s expression froze slightly.

Because the knowledge recorded in these lists is at least useful to the formal wizard level, it is a very valuable accumulation for every formal wizard.

“Can’t we use magic stones or other materials?” Lucian looked at the snake mother, still a little unwilling.

The snake mother shook her head slightly. After a brief silence, she looked at Lucian.

"Don't worry. According to the master's orders, I will not disclose any details of our transaction here to other official wizards. At the same time, I will not sell the knowledge you sold to me to other official wizards without the master's permission..."

“It’s really dark…” Lucian muttered to himself, then flipped his hand and took out a few scrolls from his pocket.

"This is the witchcraft model of the first-level witchcraft [Ring of Flame]..."

"This is part of the research manuscript of a goblin at the official wizard level..."

Lucian was introducing them, but he felt a little distressed.

Although he already had these things in his possession or had backed up, trading these originals still made him feel like his home had been robbed.

"The total value is 3.7 formal witchcrafts. Wizard, do you want to trade?"

“Add this to it.” Lucian reluctantly picked up another book worth 0.5 official wizards from the bookshelf nearby.

“Okay.” The Snake Mother nodded slightly. After accepting the items that Lucian took out, she waved her hand lightly and removed the isolation barriers of several books and scrolls selected by Lucian.

"You can only browse here and look at them as long as you want, but you can't take them out, and you can't damage them." The snake mother pointed to a few tables and chairs beside her, and then her body suddenly disintegrated into thousands of tiny black snakes, which dispersed again and disappeared into the cracks in the ground or at the bottom of the bookshelf.

call……

Lucian placed these books or witchcraft scrolls on the table and began to read them carefully.

The first sorcery he learned was [Hand of Shadow].

This is a magic that Lucian specially selected for Adeline. It belongs to the category of single-target close-range attack. Not only can it be used in battles with other wizards, but it also has a strong suppressive power against spirits and special life forms, and can even attack nightmare creatures hiding in the dream layer. It is definitely a good way to deal with Adeline.

Even using the [Hand of Shadow] to attack Adeline, a nightmare creature at the level of a third-level wizard apprentice, seemed like an overkill. But if Adeline could be captured, I'm afraid that one attack from the Hand of Shadow would be enough to kill that annoying little thing.

But when he thought of Adeline, Lucian couldn't help but think of the wizard Loren who was dressed like a little girl.

Wizard Loren was not only Adeline's mastermind, but also knew some information about the ruins of the Cloud Kingdom. He was definitely the official wizard that Lucian feared the most at this time, and he also had a close relationship with Adeline, who had been entangled with Lucian.

Although under the influence of the contract of the Gray Bone Academy, he and Wizard Loren could not fight each other, but this would always be a hidden danger.

Moreover, according to Wizard Huo Sen's description, Wizard Loren was a well-known bloodthirsty maniac in the Grey Bone Academy... He had even committed the heinous crime of indiscriminately turning some apprentices into dolls or spirits in the past.

Maybe if that wizard Loren goes crazy again one day, I will be affected by her.

After Lucian put down the witchcraft scroll, he picked up the books about spirits on the table and went over the basic information about wizard Loren in his mind.

This is a veteran wizard who is good at curses, spirits, and human body modification. However, after a spirit experiment failed, she and the nightmare creature she summoned became irreversibly fused...

Suddenly, a bold idea flashed through Lucian's mind.

Since nightmare creatures can be used as magical pets or infiltrated or even enslaved using some special methods, is it possible for me to use the nightmare creature that accidentally merged with Wizard Loren to indirectly refine or even enslave Wizard Loren?
