Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Since being "warned" by Gregor that day, Lynn has suspended the great "Undead Leap" plan.

Let's wait until we have time to earn enough magic stones to buy materials before advancing them one by one.

Anyway, the remaining A-ge can devour flesh and blood. The Stitched Butcher has low potential and is just a transitional character. There is no value in continuing to cultivate him.

Furthermore, this guy's previous attack on the beautiful female apprentice left a considerable impression on Lynn.

That's so bizarre!

MT's potential is average, but advancing is simple; it only requires strengthening its bones, and resources can be used to advance it later.

The same applies to the Bone Horse, but it is a Death Knight's mount and affects the Death Knight's combat power, so its enhancement priority is higher than that of the Tank.

Having cleared his mind, Lynn focused on his own cultivation while also revisiting the analysis of the "Hidden Bones Library".

The surge in mental power not only enhances spellcasting ability but also comprehensively strengthens the [Analysis] function.

He stepped into the first floor of the skeletal remains repository again, setting his sights on the restricted knowledge area.

The previously slow-climbing analysis progress is now like a runaway horse.

Driven by powerful mental energy, the [Analysis] function penetrated and dismantled the complex restrictions enveloping the bookshelf at an unprecedented speed.

In just five days, the progress of deciphering the restriction has reached 100%!

The obstacle in front of us has completely disappeared!

Of course, the restrictions remained in place, but Lynn was no longer protected.

Lynn took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement surging in her heart, and glanced at the bookshelf area in front of her.

The bone plates, scrolls, and crystals displayed here are clearly different in material and aura from the "common goods" around here.

Each one is quite valuable.

The Memory Library is operating at unprecedented efficiency, with massive amounts of information flooding in like a torrent:

Advanced Introduction to Negative Energy Particles and Seventeen Deflection Models

Undead Biology Taxonomy (Extended Edition): Seventy-two Subspecies from Skeletons to Abominations and Breeding Guidelines

Basic Curse Principles and Twenty-Seven Common Anti-Curse Techniques

Simple Magic Array Setup: From Alertness to Elemental Convergence

Fundamentals of Potions (Bone Spire Edition): Processing 300 Common Negative Energy Zone Materials and 50 Apprentice-Level Potion Recipes

Low-Level Soul Operation Safety Manual

Analysis of Ancient Wizarding Language (Three Variations) and Comparison Table of Commonly Used Runes

...

In addition to this systematic knowledge, a large number of scattered apprentice-level witchcraft models have also been included:

[A weak, collective soul impact]

[The Skeleton Cage]

[Rotten Clouds]

Pain Transfer

[Shared Vision of the Dead]

The Curse of Bone Softening

Whispers of the Ghosts

…as well as more than ten other schools of miscellaneous tricks and apprentice-level sorcery.

Several beginner and low-level meditation techniques are also stored here, clearly intended as exchange items for apprentices who are dissatisfied with the academy's basic meditation methods and have specific needs:

Shadow Affinity Meditation

Bone Resonance Meditation Method

The Painful Soul-Tempering Meditation Method

The Peaceful Meditation Method for the Deceased

...

These meditation methods each have their own focus, and although none of them are as good as his optimized "Soul Whisper Meditation Method," the energy circulation methods they contain have extremely high reference value for broadening his understanding, optimizing his own meditation methods, and even creating his own meditation methods in the future.

Just as the [Analysis] was scanning the back of an old bone plate from the "Illustrated Guide to Common Fungi in the Eternal Night Graveyard" that had been carelessly stuffed into a corner, the analysis suddenly received a strong abnormal feedback.

"Deep soul encryption runes detected... parsing... requires higher privileges or a specific soul fluctuation key..."

"Attempting to simulate a match in soul fluctuations... based on the host's superior soul talent and mastery of the 'Soul Whisper Meditation Technique' characteristics..."

Successfully cracked!

Lynn's heart skipped a beat.

Good grief, encrypted content?

After analyzing for so long, has it finally revealed its own "big leak"?

The back of the bone plate reveals text etched with extremely subtle soul fluctuations and a complex meditation energy circuit diagram.

The text begins with several ancient runes:

[Shadow of the Dead Meditation Method]

(Fragment: Advanced Meditation Methods for the Soul and Shadow Side)

【Analysis】

Rank: High-level meditation (entry stage, corresponding to the initial training requirements of a formal wizard).

Attributes: Extremely biased towards soul and shadow; requires a high level of soul or shadow talent to attempt to learn.

Effects: During meditation, it draws upon the power of "quiet sorrow" within the shadow and soul, refining the essence of the soul, greatly enhancing soul strength and the sharpness of mental perception, and possessing a strong affinity and concealment for shadow energy.

Risk: It can easily trigger deep-seated negative emotions and memories. If one's will is weak or one's soul is flawed, there is a risk of sinking into "sorrow" or causing hidden wounds to the soul. (The fragment lacks the subsequent stable and sublime parts.)

...

Lynn's heart skipped a beat. It was actually a high-level meditation technique based on the soul!

Although it is only a fragment and carries considerable risk, its descriptive effect is quite good.

Elevate the essence of the soul, enhance the perception of negative emotions, and increase affinity with the shadows...

In particular, his current major, the "Soul Whisper Meditation Method," has been optimized to the limit of the apprentice stage, which is perfect for him to analyze and optimize this advanced meditation method in advance for future use.

Hmm... Anyway, there's no rush to cultivate. I'll see if my mentor has any advanced meditation techniques for the soul side, compare the two, and then make a decision.

Moreover, this meditation method is only incomplete, lacking the important stable and sublimated parts, which greatly reduces its value.

Once you have a sufficient knowledge base, you will need to speculate on and fill in the missing parts of the fragment.

As for finding the remaining parts of the fragment...

The world is so big, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

...

For the next two weeks, Lynn focused primarily on building a mental vortex.

With all the knowledge from the "Collection of Bones" as a foundation, Lynn's analysis and optimization functions are even more powerful, and the analysis speed for "Perfect Vortex" is also much faster.

As for the second floor of the "Skeleton Vault," only a formal wizard can enter. Although Lynn could take the time to break the restrictions at the entrance, the people inside are not blind.

A third-class apprentice casually ran into a place that only formal wizards could enter. There seems to be something wrong with that, doesn't there?

That morning, Lynn was in a laboratory cubicle, working out a newly included bone plate titled "Simple Application of Phase Runes".

Since I don't know how long I'll be stuck in the third-level apprenticeship stage, I might as well take this opportunity to research some methods of my own to enhance my strength.

At this moment, the dark silver nameplate at his waist suddenly vibrated rhythmically and slightly, while emitting a faint glow.

He put down the bone plate, picked up the nameplate, and immersed his consciousness into it. A message directly issued by the academy's mission system appeared:

[Monthly Mandatory Tasks]

Recipient: Lynn (Second-Class Apprentice)

Quest objective: Go to the outer area of ​​the Eternal Night Graveyard and collect 10 Pale Howling Grass, or hunt 1 Howling Banshee of the Rift and obtain its Condensed Tear Crystal.

Task duration: 15 calendar days.

Task Description: Materials must be collected/hunted on-site. The nameplate will automatically record the energy characteristics of the task items and the environment in which they were obtained. It is strictly forbidden to directly purchase finished products and submit them.

Tip: The danger level of the outer edge of Wailing Rift is medium (you may encounter level 2-3 undead). It is recommended to go in a group.
