Cultivators at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 98 The Return Journey

"Don't think you can fool me just because you've learned a few cryptic phrases." After her interrogation failed, Taiya reluctantly released Tai'an: "What are you going to do with her?"

"Just keep quiet! I'll handle the rest..."

"Liadline's disappearance is a big deal; there are probably more young men in the entire capital who admire her than all the students at Violet Academy combined..."

"Don't call her by the wrong name, she is Miss Delin now."

Taiya helped Taian by the shoulder, and the two siblings went downstairs.

Mussofi was preparing dinner when Aglaia came forward to report on the day's expenses.

The total amount was twenty-seven silver dollars and ninety-four copper pence.

It looks like a lot of stuff, but in reality, it didn't even cost a single gold coin.

Tai'an naturally had no objections.

"Young Master Tai'an, I want to go home." Aglaia lowered her head, looking uneasy.

"It's perfectly understandable to see family over the weekend, but it's getting late today, and the roads might not be safe. Why don't you wait until tomorrow?"

"I'll try my best to get back to training tomorrow morning."

"Alright, I'll send Ovisga to accompany you..."

Before the banquet began, Tai'an went to the library inside the Wizard Tower and, on the enthusiastic recommendation of the librarian, the minotaur Horn, borrowed two books: "Inscription Unveiled" and "High-Rank Undead Transformation".

Each book requires a few points or a silver dollar to borrow for a week, which is quite expensive.

However, thinking about the knowledge recorded in the book, Tai'an felt it was such a great deal! It was practically an internal benefit price, far exceeding its value. No wonder the old minotaur lingered in the library all day, unwilling to leave.

"Xiao An, I've been looking for you for ages! Every time, I suddenly can't sense you. What's going on?!"

Silver Moon voiced the question that had been troubling her.

"I just went to the library to borrow books!" Tai'an changed the subject, avoiding the main point.

"You didn't even take me with you, you went off all by yourself..." The silver-haired little fairy's eyes were full of resentment: "And I was even thinking of arranging a hairdresser for you."

"I'll definitely ask you next time I go," Tai'an assured him confidently, mainly because he needed his help: "Is your barber tight-lipped? Will he say anything out of line?"

"Of course not, my people basically don't interact with outsiders," Silver Moon replied confidently.

Liadrin was still upstairs brewing a potion of life, and didn't even have time for dinner, so her haircut was postponed.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Mussofi placed a steamed fish covered in tomato sauce in the center of the table. The six dishes were served in quick succession, the preparation seeming somewhat rushed. He indicated that a few more dishes would be added later, and everyone could start eating.

Knowing this would happen, Yin Yue summoned her maid, Rosanna, and had a roast goose prepared with a secret royal recipe brought to her.

The crispy skin is sprinkled with a secret plum sauce, and the meat is tender and juicy without being greasy at all. Each piece of goose meat is cut perfectly, showcasing the chef's exquisite and superb knife skills.

After the first bite, Aglaia was deeply impressed by the sweet, sour, and crispy flavor. The ultimate deliciousness brought her a strong sense of happiness, and the girl instantly became a captive of the food, or perhaps a loyal fan.

At the same time, I deeply felt the absolute gap between nobles and commoners…

It's like heaven and hell, white clouds and mud...

They pursue the ultimate in luxury and enjoyment, while we are still struggling and toiling for a living...

Aglaia's mind drifted to the image of a thin figure scavenging for food in a garbage dump, and she became somewhat absent-minded.

Those who have tasted the roast goose have all praised it highly.

Silvermoon smiled smugly, confident that the culinary culture of Ilantishi stood at the pinnacle of all nations: "Little An, how is it? Is it delicious?"

"It's alright!" The boy said modestly. It was just a roast goose; there was no need to make a fuss.

"If you want to eat it, you can come to me anytime," Silver Moon generously promised.

A dish of roast goose made with the secret recipe of the imperial court can sell for a high price of five gold coins at the Elandi State-owned Hotel. The reason for the high price is not only because of the complicated process, but also mainly because of the scarcity of the ingredients.

The Frost Swan, as its name suggests, is a magical beast skilled in using ice arrows, capable of threatening medium to large-sized targets. It is generally only catching players at the formal level or higher is possible, and its meat is far more delicious than that of ordinary poultry like geese.

Furthermore, any monster meat is a martial arts resource! The magical elements it contains can accelerate the growth of battle qi.

The banquet continued, and the sky outside gradually darkened.

After enjoying their meal, Tai'an left early.

Aglaia hurriedly got up and followed him: "Young Master! Is there anything else you need me to do?"

"No, you can go back now."

Tai'an stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an aloof air, and summoned Ovisga through telepathy.

The bright night sky was dotted with starlight, and a huge, deep blue moon hung in the sky.

Influenced by tidal forces, the color of the moon may vary each season. It is usually bright yellow, red, dark blue, turquoise, etc., and occasionally it may appear purple or white.

People have long been used to it.

Aglaia walked briskly along the cobblestone path through the dense forest, carrying a bag of nuts and snacks given to her by Tai'an. It looked like it contained walnuts?

Ovisca did not accompany them openly, but remained hidden in the shadows. She seemed to possess the stealth abilities of a ghost assassin, moving silently as she went…

Tai'an sat on the sofa in the living room and took out two borrowed books from his spatial ring. "Unveiling the Inscriptions" was a bit complicated, so he set it aside for now. He opened "High-Level Undead Transformation."

Foreword: If you are fortunate enough to obtain the corpse of an elite-level or higher professional as material, I will give the following advice.

Different professions are suited to transforming into different undead creatures. Warriors and magic swordsmen are suited to transforming into skeleton guards and dark knights. Rangers and thieves are suited to transforming into ghost assassins and shadow hunters. Knights are suited to transforming into dark knights and death knights. Spellcasters are suited to transforming into skeleton mages and liches.

Please remember that the following conditions must be met to transform into a higher-level undead creature.

First: The integrity of the materials. If there are any defects, remember to repair them as much as possible, otherwise it will affect the combat power of the undead.

Second: The negative energy concentration of the material must reach a certain standard. It is recommended to use instruments for precise measurement. If the negative energy does not meet the standard, please rebury it underground and wait for a suitable time. If the numerical difference is small, death entanglement can be considered to compensate.

For details on the selection of burial sites for the immortals, please see page 35 of this book.

Third: Awakening Ritual and Contract Inscriptions, please see page 70 of this book for details.

Note: Newborn immortals generally possess no more than 70% of their former strength, mostly between 30% and 50%. However, it is possible that through special refining techniques, they could gain strength far exceeding that of their former selves.

Postscript: The section on enhancing the strength of high-level undead. Please see page 120 of this book for details.

……

"Xiao An, I'm going back!" Taiya smiled and wrapped her arms around her younger brother's neck from behind.

Tai'an gave a slight hum with the tip of his nose: "Take care, and don't bother seeing me out!"

"Xiao An! I'm going back!" The slender little girl mimicked the same words and actions, but unfortunately there was nothing to put on the boy's head.

The boy had a cold expression and ignored him.
