Chapter 240 Exchange of Witchcraft Models and Classes

"Knock knock knock"

"Please come in!" a clear female voice rang out.

Richard walked in and saw a girl with maroon hair working in the supply depot office. Judging from her aura, she was probably at the level of a newly initiated third-level wizard apprentice. When she saw Richard enter, she immediately stood up respectfully.

"My lord wizard, what are your orders?"

The other person has a beautiful appearance and a pleasant voice, so she must be of noble birth or have received etiquette training.

Richard was slightly surprised. It seemed that the school had made good arrangements for the beautiful female third-level wizard apprentices, not letting them participate in the battle against the night elves.

However, this should also be the choice of these female apprentices themselves.

For example, Ophelia's choice was completely different from theirs.

"I'd like to see the level one sorcery models available for exchange."

"Okay, please show me your credentials, Wizard." The girl with maroon hair smiled sweetly.

Richard took out the black seal ring he wore on the ring finger of his left hand and handed it to the other person.

The girl gently touched the ring to the crystal ball on the table, and instantly, a series of magic models available for exchange appeared on the large black stone wall to her side.

"Sir, please have a seat. Would you like a cup of tea? We have black tea, wormwood tea, and honey grapefruit tea."

"No need, I'll watch for a while." Richard waved his hand.

The girl immediately stopped talking, silently stepped back, and sat down in her seat, afraid of disturbing Richard.

A list of level-one sorcery models available for exchange, along with the exchange conditions, quickly appeared on the black stone slab.

Richard frowned slightly after only glancing at the contents displayed on the black stone slab.

Hand of Bones: A massive hand formed from skeletal remains, requiring a magical medium—the Bone Hand—to unleash its power. Its strength is determined by mental energy and the quality of the magical medium. Exchange Requirements: Total points exceeding 1000; 450 points are required to exchange for this item.

Bone Shield: Surrounds the user with three white bone powder shields, offering both good physical and magical protection. Its activation requires a magical medium: bone powder. The defensive strength is determined by mental power. Exchange Requirements: Total points must exceed 1500; 650 points are required to exchange for this item.

Shadow Teleport: Teleports a short distance in a specified direction from the current location. The teleportation distance is determined by the strength of one's mental power. Redemption Requirements: Total points must exceed 1500; 550 points are required to redeem this item.

Shadow Curse: Reduces the Strength and Dexterity attributes of a single target and reduces the target's resistance to Shadow magic. The degree of reduction is determined by the caster's Spirit Power. Redemption Requirements: Total points must exceed 600; 350 points are required to redeem this item.

Death Howl: Releases a circular mental shockwave, inflicting fear on targets within a radius of tens of meters. Those with mental strength lower than the caster will be affected by fear to varying degrees. The power is determined by the caster's mental strength consumption. Redemption Requirements: Total points must exceed 1500; 700 points are required to redeem this item.

Shadow Bolt: Releases an energy arrow composed of dark element to attack a single target. Its power is determined by the caster's mental strength. Redemption Requirements: Total points must exceed 1500; 500 points are required to redeem this item.

Death Ray: Releases a highly condensed ray of dark elemental energy to attack a single target. Its power is determined by the caster's mental strength. Exchange Requirements: Total points must exceed 2000; 900 points are required to exchange for this item.

These are some of the materials Richard saw on the first and second pages of the black slate. However, after looking at the two pages, Richard discovered that there were still six pages unread at the page number in the lower right corner of the slate.

This greatly surprised Richard; the school actually had so many first-level sorcery models?

"Looks like coming back this time was the right decision!"

but

Richard flipped through the pages and discovered that the later pages contained models of first-level sorcery from other systems, such as fire, water, and earth.

This made Richard shake his head slightly; he had thought that there were eight whole pages of schools to choose from just the first-level Shadow magic.

Turning back to the first page, Richard discovered that the 100 points on his seal ring were simply not enough to exchange for any level one Shadow-type sorcery model.

Even the cheapest level 1 sorcery, Shadow Curse, requires 350 points.

Moreover, the more powerful a level 1 sorcery model is, the more expensive it is; similarly, the rarer the model, the more expensive it is.

In addition, almost all level 1 sorcery model exchanges have a limit on the total number of points that can be earned.

After studying so many shadow-based spells, Richard initially determined that there were three spells that complemented his own abilities: Bone Shield, Shadow Teleportation, and Death Ray.

The Bone Shield offers good physical and magical defense, further enhancing Richard's defensive capabilities, while Shadow Teleport makes the caster more agile and mobile, making them less vulnerable to focused attacks.

Improving defense and mobility is never too much of a priority.

After all, whether it's exploring ruins or engaging in various battles, if you can excel in both of these areas, you'll be virtually invincible.

The final Death Ray, a powerful single-target attack spell that Richard desperately lacks, is naturally a must-have.

However, this would require Richard to accumulate a considerable number of points, with a total of 2000 points needed for just these three spells.

It is important to clarify the total points. The total points refer to all the points earned by the credential holder since records began, including points that have been spent.

Current points refer to the points that the credential holder currently possesses.

Therefore, if Richard can accumulate 2000 points, there is one advantage: he can exceed the total points limit for the Death Ray.

After learning about the shadow magic available for exchange, Richard left the supply depot and returned to his villa.

"What advanced knowledge can I submit to my school of thought to exchange for points?!"

First is the basic puppetry knowledge, which includes the theory of elementary puppetry and the recipes for making several elementary puppets.

Of course, apart from the most crucial element, the primary control core.

Richard withheld some details regarding the basic control core.

Previously, Richard spent tens of thousands of energy points and tried countless times in the dream space before finally breaking through the gray dwarves' monopoly on the basic control core and obtaining the technology.

This time, naturally, I wouldn't be willing to exchange it so easily.

The main reason is that if this part is preserved, apprentices will need to buy basic control cores from him when making basic puppets, which will become a steady and reliable business.

Who knows, its efficiency in earning magic stones might rival that of the new beer from the Grey Dwarf region.

but

In general, because the puppets involved in this section are not very powerful and do not qualify as the combat strength of a formal wizard, even if you acquire a complete set of advanced knowledge, the number of points you can exchange for them should be relatively limited.

Richard didn't have high hopes for this either.

Secondly, there is the rare level one sorcery called Death Aura.

After much consideration, Richard decided to submit it along with this one.

"This Death Aura Level 1 sorcery model can most likely be exchanged for points similar to, or even more than, Death Ray."

"Finally, there's the recipe for the Alchemy Combo Bomb. Submitting it should earn me a lot of points. Although I've already sold it once to the Grey Dwarf Brotherhood, the contract only specifies the Underdark region."

Since it did not spread in the Underdark but on the surface, it was naturally not bound by the original contract.

After making the decision, Richard organized these three advanced knowledge points and recorded them into a crystal ball.

He plans to submit it first thing every morning.

"Although Meiluo has only been gone for less than ten days, considering that the school will need some time to review knowledge and distribute points, we should try to be as fast as possible."

"Besides, I also need to go to the City of Griffins."

When Richard thought of the Griffin City, two slender figures involuntarily came to mind.

"Since the review will take some time, the instructor can give a crash course on the puppetry techniques that the school has been teaching for the past six months in the next few days."

"After all, completing a half-year teaching plan also earns a 50-point reward; every little bit helps!"

"It would be ridiculous if I were only 50 or 100 points short. I hope that doesn't happen."

Richard suddenly thought of a possibility, but then laughed self-deprecatingly, wondering why he had suddenly thought of this question.

"By the way, it seems that taking on apprentices can earn points, but the points reward is only given when the apprentice advances in rank, such as from level one wizard apprentice to level two, from level two to level three, and so on."

"However, this time, Instructor Seres will receive a large number of points as a reward for my promotion."

"It's a pity that the points can only be used by the person who earned them and cannot be transferred. Otherwise, I could borrow some points from Professor Seres and I wouldn't have to submit these advanced knowledge materials."

"However, the Ignis School is, after all, my alma mater, so it's no big deal to help the school develop better."

"The main reason I'm taking on apprentices right now is because I don't have any suitable candidates. Besides, if I just want to gain points, wouldn't it be too mercenary to just take on any apprentice who's about to be promoted?"

Richard stroked his chin, starting to think about various ways to earn points.

I slept without any dreams.

The first thing Richard did after waking up the next morning was to check the Nightmare Stone.

Richard opened the Box of Isolation and looked at the Nightmare Stone, which remained unchanged, and was quite puzzled.

He originally thought that he would descend into that strange world every night, but now it seems that this is not the case.

The situation did not occur last night.

This left Richard somewhat puzzled about the pattern of how the Nightmare Stone activated.

After thinking for a moment, Richard decided to put the question aside for now, since he had two other things to do today.

After submitting the crystal ball containing his three advanced academic achievements, Richard arrived at the classroom at the appointed time.

Before entering the classroom, Richard stood in front of the glass window and adjusted the Ignis School standard wizard robe he had just received the day before. The black wizard robe emitted a faint black light, and the fine gold threads on the cuffs and collar shone brightly.

The skull mark on his chest, in particular, is striking and eye-catching. Combined with his youthful and handsome appearance, it's almost unfair!

Richard couldn't help but recall his past life, the male teacher look in a certain Korean idol drama. He thought to himself that his appearance was far superior to theirs.

As his clear footsteps echoed at the classroom door, the once noisy classroom instantly fell silent.

-

Lina is a girl with a pure and innocent appearance but a hot body. She just arrived at the Ignis School half a year ago.

Her six months of study have made her much more mature.

At the same time, it also made her realize that if a wizard apprentice wants to improve his strength quickly, he must actively acquire the resources for wizard training. Unless he is born into a wizarding family and has amazing talent, he will inevitably have to go through some dangers to obtain these resources.

Although many people pursued her and were willing to invest resources, Lina wanted more than just to be a man's appendage or a pretty face.

However, if she abandons this shortcut, as a first-level wizard apprentice, not to mention participating in the fierce battle underground, even doing some daily tasks near the Ignis School's headquarters could lead to some insurmountable dangers if she's unlucky.

Teaming up can certainly increase safety, but it also means a significant reduction in mission rewards.

She has been actively looking for solutions to this problem.

Just two days ago, a new course was added to the schedule: Elementary Puppetry.

This opened up a new avenue for her: if she had a powerful puppet, she could complete many tasks independently, thus creating a virtuous cycle of improvement.

She immediately enrolled in the course.

"Wow! So young!"

"Isn't this the boy who suddenly barged into my room 861? He's actually a certified wizard? Unbelievable!!"

When Lina saw Richard walk in, her beautiful eyes widened in surprise, and she froze on the spot.

As soon as Richard entered the classroom, he realized that he had underestimated the enthusiasm of the wizarding apprentices at all levels for the course.

The classroom, which can hold a hundred people, was almost completely full.

Moreover, he even saw many familiar faces among the apprentices.

Besides Ophelia, Andrea, and Courteney, there were other wizarding apprentices who enrolled in the same cohort as him, many of whom were his former classmates and had also signed up for his course.

This surprised him!

But for Richard, none of this could move him. He calmly walked onto the podium.

At that moment, a storm was brewing in the audience below the podium.

"Holy crap, it really is Richard! He's actually become a full-fledged wizard! Gods above!"

"Richard? He became a full-fledged wizard in just over a year? This..."

"incredible!!"

"An incarnation of a god?"

"Has the world gone mad, or am I just ignorant?"

But they only dared to think these thoughts in their hearts. It was class time, and Richard deliberately released a trace of a formal wizard's aura when he came in.

Therefore, although the apprentices below the stage were inwardly turbulent, they all sat upright and proper.

After all, they all know that one should have at least some respect for the strong.
