The Wizard: Starting as a Corpse Burial Man - An Infinite Side Hustle

At this moment, Anzu was still carrying out his actions with the help of the tentacles transformed from Shadow Dragon, just as before.

The previously obtained low-difficulty materials, as well as the low-difficulty alchemy pigments used as materials, have been basically processed.

And Ansu was, just like Testu before him, holding a carving knife and carving intricate runes on the bird-beak-shaped material.

However, it is not exactly the same as Tistu.

Ansu's proficiency in handling materials surpasses that of its opponent.

Moreover, whether you do the task yourself or Yinglong does it, you can steadily improve your proficiency.

Therefore.

From the beginning until now, Ansu has not experienced even a single mistake.

Therefore, Ansu has now completed nine-tenths of his work on carving runes on the bird's beak.

At the same time, Ansu's actions once again caught Sandru's attention.

"The first area for modification is the shadow."

Sandru also knew that, in the definition of mysticism, a shadow could be considered half an organ of an ordinary person.

Therefore, in Sandru's eyes, Anzu, who had gathered great power within himself, already possessed some of the qualities of a wizard.

Unfortunately, the entrance exams for wizarding academies are different every year.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to rely solely on the extra score bonus from modifying oneself, or on such a high level of proficiency.

They will definitely pass the wizarding academy entrance exam.

Sandru thought to himself.

Even so, they gained a deeper understanding of Ansu's talent.

"If I join the wizarding academy, I might be able to meet the headmaster's standards."

This grants the opportunity to explore the [Original Sea of ​​Truth].

...

While Sandru was pondering.

Tistu also noticed that after Sandru observed Ansu for a while, the sinister look in his expression turned into approval and contemplation.

Besides, the other person burying the body was also making good progress.

Although there was one mistake, the rune carving progress of the second bird beak material has reached two-thirds and is still steadily improving.

Tistu immediately sensed the danger.

So he adjusted his breathing rate and calmed himself down.

No longer as restless as before, he picked up the carving knife and the last piece of bird-beak material again and began to carve runes on it.

As time went on, more and more scraps, resembling wood chips, appeared on the table, and correspondingly, the number of runes on the bird's beak also increased.

When the number of runes reached fifty, breaking the previous limit, the tension in Tistu's heart instantly turned into excitement.

I can get first place.

I can get a pass to observe the proceedings, as well as the alchemy recipe and ether crystals.

Testu thought to himself.

But before he could draw ten new runes, Testu's hand, sweating, caused him to sway as he used the carving knife.

The next moment, another incongruous scratch appeared on the bird's beak.

Upon seeing this scene, Testu's face immediately turned deathly pale.

This mistake was indeed not as bad as the last one.

However, with the abilities and knowledge that Testu currently possesses, he is unable to repair it.

This is the third and final piece of material featuring a bird's beak.

In other words, Testu no longer has the chance to make mistakes.

With that thought in mind, Tistu transferred the carving knife from his trembling hand to the alchemy table.

Then, looking at Sandru, a glimmer of hope remained in his expression:

"Lord Sandru, I..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Sandru noticed that all three bird beak materials had been turned into waste.

He immediately frowned slightly.

He then concentrated the spell's effect at his fingertips and snapped his fingers.

pat.

The crisp snap of fingers and the spell's effect traveled in all directions.

Before long, they arrived at Testu's side.

Whether the materials were processed or not, or even turned into waste, they all floated in mid-air.

Then it floated back to the material storage area of ​​the alchemy workshop.

Upon seeing this, Testu's words caught in his throat.

He knew that even if he finished speaking, Sandru would definitely not give him any more material.

Lord Sandru did not kill me immediately out of pity.

It's because the entrance exam for the wizarding academy hasn't arrived yet.

If I don't pass the test by then..."

Testu also understood that the crisis he faced was not just that.

He definitely won't get a certificate to audit classes at the wizarding academy this time.

They were also unable to help the wild wizards pass on their knowledge to the ancient wizards who were about to awaken.

If they stayed in the area nominally under Sandru's protection, they could barely save their lives.

But then you won't be able to obtain more resources and knowledge.

However, if one leaves the residential area, one will inevitably encounter wild wizards and be questioned, and even...

The thought of the corpses and experimental subjects scattered throughout the wild wizard's encampment made Tistu's legs go weak.

He instinctively grabbed the table to steady himself, preventing himself from collapsing to the ground.

When Testu instinctively gripped the table with both hands, a not-so-quite-quick sound was heard.

This made Ansu notice the other person's awkward situation.

Moreover, at this moment, almost all of Ansu's materials had been processed, leaving only the need to combine them into a single pigment, so it was not affected by Tistu.

They continued with the final steps together with the Shadow Dragon, which had transformed into a tentacle form.

In the process of carrying out procedures and improving proficiency.

The proficiency level for [Knowledge - Alchemy Pigment Mixing] has also reached Lv.5.

Before long, all the materials were combined together to create a gold-plated pigment.

At this point, less than two hours had passed since they received the materials.

Ten minutes later, Hertock also mixed the alchemical pigments.

Seeing this situation.

Sandru invoked his soul perception abilities and magic.

They used this to examine the two translucent pigments that looked like water droplets.

Ansu's material utilization efficiency is 98%.

Hertock's... also reached 93%.

In terms of material utilization efficiency alone, the two are almost the same.

But Sandro knew that the effects of a specific pigment could not be judged solely by the efficiency of material utilization.

Only by actually using the pigments can one determine the pigment maker's occult talent and the specific quality of the pigments.

"Hertok, use your paint here."

"Yes, Your Excellency Wizard."

Hertock responded and then dipped his brush into the alchemical paint he had previously mixed.

He then invoked the ability of the veil painting, causing the corresponding pigments to adhere to the ether.

However, no runes were drawn.

Instead, it drew a circle.

The moment the circle was formed, the pigment-coated ether particles immediately lit up with bursts of light.

It resembles a ring made of fireflies.

Immediately afterwards, the faint light began to slowly expand from the edge of the ring towards the center.
