Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

As Lynn walked out of Gregor's laboratory, a sliver of grayish-white light shone through the crack in the door as he casually activated the restriction.

Although there's nothing of value left inside, there are still quite a few witchcraft formations, and it would be a great pity if they were destroyed.

After closing the door, Lynn turned and walked toward the ossuary to supplement his knowledge.

He had been looking forward to the knowledge of the Saint Mark level for a long time.

Several apprentices stood in line at the entrance of the ossuary, holding books they wanted to return.

When they saw Lynn approaching, they all stepped aside to make way.

Although Lynn did not change his wizard robes and was still wearing his original third-ring wizard robes, to these apprentices, both third-ring archmages and stigmata wizards were equally unattainable figures.

Lynn walked past them and entered the ossuary.

Upon entering the first floor, he did not linger but went straight up the steps to the second floor, and the eyes of several apprentices followed his feet upwards.

They were curious about this excessively young great wizard, but dared not make any comments.

On the second floor, several formal wizards were standing in front of the bookshelves flipping through books when they heard footsteps and looked up.

Their eyesight was clearly sharper; they spotted the empty nameplate on Lynn's chest at a glance and quickly lowered their heads to continue flipping through the book.

Lynn walked past them and went up to the third floor.

The third layer was still under a restriction, and Lynn stepped directly into it.

The void nameplate on his chest trembled slightly, and dark gold patterns spread outwards from the edge of the nameplate. The restriction flickered for a moment and then separated into two sides.

The third floor is dimmer than the second floor, and there are far fewer books. The materials used to store knowledge, such as bone tablets, stone tablets, and ancient books, are also quite varied.

Ancient tree bark, behemoth hide, ancient giant tortoise shell, ferocious beast scales, ancient beast leather, dragon hide, demon hide, titan bone...

The bookshelves are black, embedded in the wall, and extend from the floor to the ceiling.

Lynn stood at the door and glanced around.

The left side is the free area, and the right side is the paid area.

The books in the free section are still general knowledge, and there are no restrictions on reading them on-site.

The bookshelves in the paid area were covered by a semi-transparent light shield, with runes flowing on the surface of the shield, which was more complex than those on the second floor.

Lynn wasn't in a hurry, since there was a two-year "stabilization period" after the advancement, during which the academy wouldn't issue any missions.

Lynn went to the free area first.

He started flipping through the books one by one from the first row of bookshelves, while the "Memory Library" began rapidly recording the collection.

"Research on the Stability of the Stigmata Domain," "The Limits and Breakthroughs of Rule Fusion," "The Capture and Refinement of the World's Will," "The Path of the True Spirit," "The Tactical Application of Stigmata in Dimensional Warfare"...

"Research on the Stability of the Stigmata Domain" discusses how to maintain the Stigmata Domain from collapsing, analyzing it from three perspectives: energy supply, rule balance, and soul anchoring.

"The Limits and Breakthroughs of Rule Fusion" discusses the conflicts that arise when multiple rules are merged and proposes several solutions, which is of great help to the Stigmata Wizard in mastering multiple rules.

"Capturing and Refining the World's Will" details the steps and methods for capturing and refining the world's will, but this thing is not something that ordinary holy marks can handle.

"The Path of the True Spirit" is a compilation of notes left by several Stigmata Wizards. The content is very diverse, with some talking about the sublimation of rules, some about the transformation of the soul, and some about transforming oneself into the Tao.

"The Application of Stigmata Tactics in Dimensional Wars" is a tactics manual that introduces common tactics used by Stigmata Wizards in dimensional wars, such as frontal breakthroughs, domain suppression, rule blocking, and decapitation strikes.

Other works include "In-depth Analysis of the Rules of Death," "Variations and Expansions of the Rules of the Soul," "Folding and Extension of the Rules of Space," "Introduction and Advanced Study of the Rules of Time," and "The Application of the Rules of the Stars in Dimensional Anchoring"...

The real valuable information lies in the application and analysis of these rules; the free versions only scratch the surface, offering a small incentive to lure you in before abruptly ending.

Want more content?

Just pay up obediently.

While Lynn was "recording" the knowledge of the free area, he also started "analysis," and the three hundred workstations crashed into the restrictions of the paid area.

The barrier twitched slightly, the runes flickered, yet it remained unbreakable.

Lynn wasn't in a hurry. As long as there was a progress bar for the analysis, he would be able to break all the restrictions sooner or later.

Now that the Stigmata has been upgraded, not only has the number of "work slots" been doubled, but the analysis effect has also been greatly enhanced.

The structure of the restriction slowly unfolded in the sea of ​​consciousness, like a complex blueprint.

The location of the rune nodes, the direction of the energy loops, and the thickness of the seal layer.

He leisurely flipped through the books in the free section while secretly analyzing the restrictions in the paid section.

The two lines run parallel and do not interfere with each other.

Just then, Wayne appeared silently beside Lynn.

There were no footsteps, no wind, and no energy fluctuations. She just stood there, graceful and delicate, behind Lynn, watching him turn the pages of his book.

Lynn paused in his flipping through the book, then turned to look at Wayne.

Wayne wore a long golden robe, his long hair tied back and reaching his waist, and a faint smile on his lips.

This appearance is even more handsome and noble than Alphonse.

Alphonse has a feminine, melancholic style, while Wayne has a sunny, luxurious style.

After all, Alphonse was just a prince of a small kingdom, while Wayne was the chosen one of the wizarding world; the two were not comparable.

"Lord Lynn," Wayne said softly.

Lynn closed the book and turned around.

"Lord Wayne."

Wayne glanced at the restrictions in the toll area, then looked away, seemingly noticing anything unusual.

He raised his right hand and set up a magic array around the two of them to prevent them from being spied on. The light was very faint and could not be seen unless you looked closely.

"Don't be shy. There are only the two of us on the third floor of the ossuary."

The academy doesn't have many Stigmata Wizards; a significant portion of them are stationed at various resource points outside the academy, doing missions in different worlds, or active on various battlefields.

Currently, the number of Stigmata Wizards permanently residing in the academy is no more than two palms' worth.

As for how many undead of the Saint Mark level there are, that remains unknown.

Wayne took out a table, two chairs, and a tea set from the ring.

The table is made of wood, and the tabletop has a fine grain.

The chairs are also made of wood, with high backrests, making them very comfortable to sit in.

The teapot is made of purple clay, and the cup has very thin walls, allowing you to clearly see the color of the tea inside.

Clearly, Wayne is a guy who values ​​quality of life, unlike those old guys in the academy who only know how to pursue power.

Wayne poured two cups of tea and pushed one towards Lynn.

Lynn sat down, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

The tea was hot, slightly astringent at first, but left a sweet aftertaste on the tip of his tongue after swallowing, giving him a feeling of tasting tea in a past life.

I have no idea where this guy got the tea leaves from.
