Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 82 Return to Yasha, Settlement Rewards (First Update)
A pitch-black necklace emerged from the void and slowly floated in front of Richard.

Richard reached out and took the necklace in his hand.

The shape of this necklace is like a diamond-shaped coffin, with ghost patterns symbolizing death painted on it.

【Soul-calling amulet
Level 3 Treasure

Basic attribute: The effect of necromancy is increased by 20%
Special skill: Nourishing the souls of the dead.

Soul Nurturing: You can store 3 types of undead soldiers and nurture them. 】

Richard gently held the amulet of the dead soul, and the amulet shattered into a dark light after a crisp sound and sank into Richard's body.

"Huh? Where's my amulet?" Richard was slightly stunned. He could feel that his necromancy seemed to have been strengthened, but he just couldn't find the amulet of the dead.

At this moment, the voice-over came to Richard's mind again.

[This is what a real treasure looks like. As long as you get his approval, you can take it into your soul.

They are not equipment for your body, but equipment for your soul.

The Amulet of the Dead can enhance the effects of necromancy and prevent others from detecting your necromancy when they are investigating you. It can also nourish the dead for you.

You just need to keep fighting, and the undead stored in the Amulet of the Dead will grow with you.

When you have some free time, slowly experience this magical treasure. 】

Upon hearing this, Richard was stunned for a moment. He looked at the Disintegration Staff in his hand, which was also a high-level treasure with attributes and special skills.

He tried to use his soul to put away the Disintegration Staff, but the Staff ignored his orders.

"Ah, this... I understand. Although I got the Disintegration Staff, I didn't get his approval. I only have the right to use it, but not the ownership.

Tsk, this little slut is quite arrogant. "

[Trialist. You have successfully passed the first and second waves of trials. The third wave can be started immediately.

Do you want to move forward bravely, or step back into reality and think carefully before making your move?

Just like last time, if you bravely choose to continue, I will give you an extra tip. 】

Richard shook his head firmly: "I choose to give up."

[Hmm? Why did you give up?

Coward, are you sure you want to give up? Although you can continue to challenge the level next time after giving up, you will lose the chance for me to give you hints forever. Even if you kneel down and beg me, I will not give you hints again.

If you have experienced level 2, you should know how important my hints are.

Are you sure you want to give up? 】

Richard calmly shook his head and said, "I give up. The difficulty of the trial is not gradual, but leaps and bounds.

The twisted tree spirits in the second wave of trials are not at the same level as the skeleton soldiers in the first wave of trials.

The third wave of trials will probably be even more exaggerated. I will not start the third wave of trials until I am ready. Please let me go."

[Hmph~ You like to think rationally. You are indeed suitable to be a mage. Very good, then you can leave.

But before you leave, I have something to give you. 】

Richard was stunned, and a blood-red bone appeared in front of him.

This bone was particularly large, and seemed to be the thigh bone of a giant beast. Richard had to open his arms to hold the bone.

[This is a gift left here by the last person who passed the trial for the next trial-taker.

He has left this gift here for many years. I don’t know what the use of this broken bone is, but I’ll give it to you anyway.

Okay, let's go back. When we meet next time, I hope you have the confidence to face all dangers. 】

The voice beside him had just disappeared from Richard's mind when a streak of blood covered Richard's pupils.

When the blood faded, Richard was dazed for a moment and returned to the front of the kennel.

The stars were still twinkling in the night sky. In the darkness, the dwarf Grimm was sleeping on the ground in front of the bloody tomb, holding his warhammer.

Richard felt that the auxiliary skill of [Necromancer] and the special skill of [Favor of Truth] that he had obtained in the trial were all brought out by him and did not disappear with the end of the trial!
The magic [Sacrificial Fire] (Squirrel Bomb) that he comprehended during the trial was also brought out.

"That's great! My dream of practicing both magic and martial arts can be realized in the real world. It's really a gift from God!"

Double happiness!

Before Richard could finish his joy, a stream of blood emerged from the bloody tomb and flowed into Richard's body.

"what!"

Richard let out a strong groan, and the familiar feeling of strengthening came from inside his body.

"Level 10! Level 11! Level 12! Triple jump!"

At the same time, Richard felt a surge of energy surging up from inside his body in the void.

Four strange stunts came to Richard's mind.

Basic Defense

Supporting skills

Effect: You and your troops gain an extra 15% defense. You can increase it by spending skill points. 】

Flexible foundation
Supporting skills

Effect: You and the soldiers you lead gain 10% physical dodge, and your movement speed is +2
Consumable skill points to upgrade. 】

【Basic Magic Resistance
Supporting skills

Effect: You and the troops you lead have a 10% chance to completely resist negative magic.

Consumable skill points to upgrade. 】

【Ultimate Balance

Supporting skills

Effect: When moving at high speed, the accuracy of shooting and casting will not be reduced, nor will the preparation time for shooting and casting be increased.

This skill cannot be upgraded. 】

Richard narrowed his eyes and picked the last one!
A wonderful feeling filled Richard's limbs, causing wonderful changes in Richard's muscles, internal organs and eyes.

Although defense, flexibility, and magic resistance are all auxiliary skills that lean towards the defensive side and are effective for both yourself and the troops you lead, extreme balance is only effective for yourself.

But Richard chose the ultimate balance without hesitation.

Because Richard clearly remembered that [Extreme Balance] was a necessary prerequisite skill for many powerful arms.

Spell Dragon Rider, High Magic Swordsman, Pegasus Archer... Any type of soldier that needs to multitask while moving at high speed in order to attack requires [Extreme Balance].

“I’ve heard of Ultimate Balance before, but the probability of a pure spellcasting soldier learning this skill is extremely low.

I was born a spellcaster, and have always followed the path of a pure spellcaster.

I squeezed my mind and soul to the utmost to get closer to the truth and magic, and I had to give up physical training.

I thought I would never be able to master this stunt in my lifetime, but unexpectedly, by chance, I had the opportunity to learn it.

How could I miss this?”

Richard shook the disintegration staff in his hand and asked, which wizard doesn't have a heart of a warrior?
While casting weakening magic, you can run to the enemy's face and smash his head with the skull crusher. How cool!
Richard stood there, savoring the changes in his body.

"I feel that my brain's thinking speed has increased a lot, and I feel that I see things more slowly. I also feel that my soul seems to be separated from my body and will not affect each other."

He placed the big bone on his hand on the ground and did some exercises on the spot. He could clearly feel that the movements of his body did not affect his brain's thinking.

He can even do push-ups while thinking about element flow problems that are more complicated than calculus. It is really an amazing experience.

The noise made by Richard woke up Green who was sleeping.

Green Ham looked at Richard who was doing frog jumps with his hands behind his back and shouted in surprise:
"Oh! Boss, you finally came out. I was almost falling asleep.

Hmm? What's that big red bone on the ground? Is it the reward you got for the trial?
Boss, why did you bring back a big red bone? Did you really go to get dog food for Dog Brother?
You are so trustworthy. "

"Of course I will. How can I be your boss if I don't keep my word?" Richard stood up and said with a smile, "I think I understand what's going on. Let's go and give this bone to Brother Gou."

"What's going on?"

"Don't ask, just follow my instructions."

"it is good!"

Green Ham picked up the big red bone with both hands and followed Richard into the kennel one after the other.

“Hoo! Woo~”

The sleeping Undead Dragonbreath Hound suddenly shook and opened its eyes the moment Green Ham entered the kennel.

His body, as stiff as a zombie, shook for a while and then he crawled up from the ground.

The huge pupils stared at the red bones in Green Ham's hand like a little sun burning quietly in the darkness.

Dog opened his mouth slightly, revealing two rows of sharp teeth.

Its foul-smelling saliva flowed unconsciously from the corners of his mouth, dripping onto the ground with a hissing sound, just like butter falling into a hot pan and boiling quickly.

The big red heart in his transparent chest was beating thirteen times a second and was about to jump out of his chest.

Although the dog didn't say anything, the words "Give me the bone quickly" were written all over its body.

Seeing this scene, Richard swallowed hard.

You know, the entire Saint Laurent Prison is a place where magic is forbidden, but the saliva flowing from Dog Brother can make the ground boil.

This shows that the fire element contained in Dog Brother's body has probably undergone several fusions, causing the extremely high temperature in Dog Brother's body to become a physical effect.

Richard signaled to Green Ham with his eyes to hand over the red bone.

But not only did Green Ham not understand Richard's hint, he foolishly handed the red bone to Richard.

"Boss, is this what you want? Then take it."

Whoosh!
Two small red suns suddenly stared at Richard, making him feel uneasy.

"Then thank you so much!" Richard spoke with a hint of gritted teeth.
