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

Ansu picked up the paper transformed from the soul fire of Tistu and then pasted it onto the crystal ball.

The next moment, the paper-shaped soul fire was immediately trapped inside the crystal ball.

It's as if these two were meant to be one.

Just moments later, the corresponding visual information appeared on the crystal ball.

As Ansu had a thought, the information displayed on the crystal ball began to rewind continuously.

And it is no longer limited to a small segment of the scene before Testu, as it was before.

Instead, they were taken to Testu ahead of time and were still collecting the bones of magical creatures in the dark room when they unexpectedly witnessed a Pied Skaven disguised as a member of the Gray Rat Gang.

It's even rewinding to an earlier point as Ansu adjusts.

This is the true effect of the [Soul Information Probing Alchemy Pigment]:

With the help of the crystal ball, explore all the memories contained within Tistu's soul fire.

It can't even be applied to the Soulfire of Testu.

Whether it's other soul fire or other souls, they can all produce the same effect.

"After that, once we have collected new souls and soulfire..."

This method can be used to determine if the other party has any useful memories before deciding whether to use them as material or transform them into an undead.

An Su thought to herself.

They continued to probe the other's memories through the crystal ball containing Tistu's soul.

Soon, the wild wizard's method of modifying Tistu came into view.

Then Ansu was memorized, and her proficiency in various related knowledge also gradually improved.

Not long after, Ansu saw the scene of Tistu and the wild wizard deciding to hunt him for the first time.

And the wild wizard sitting on the throne, but looking up at the ceiling painting with a devout posture.

When Tistu met the leader of the Wild Wizards organization, he also subconsciously glanced at the ceiling painting.

Therefore, in analyzing the memory, the specific composition of the ceiling painting was also seen:

A person holding a torch stands in the center of the picture.

The portrait of the other party has no face.

Even through the crystal ball, Ansu could still sense the other party's majesty.

In various corners of the ceiling paintings, which resemble primitive murals, there are large numbers of people kneeling and worshipping in the direction of the person holding a torch.

Their expressions ranged from excitement to fear.

But they all share a common point:

The underlying emotion of all worshippers is piety.

"The ancient wizards who were the first to master occult knowledge are about to be fully revived."

The wild wizard's voice came from the crystal ball.

"At that time."

I will then be able to step onto the stage known as the wizarding world as a follower of ancient wizards.

Once the ancient wizards regain control of the wizarding world, I will be able to obtain the advanced mystical knowledge and extraordinary materials that were previously sealed away by the wizards.

And then... he became a true wizard!

...

Ansu searched through Tistu's memories again.

But apart from that, there is no further information about ancient wizards.

"Located in the outpost of the wild wizards, the ancient wizards in the murals hold torches and are about to be fully revived."

The centaur wizard Novaka told me that the wizarding academy forces all wizarding apprentices to master the occult knowledge of fire.

And what Bales said.

In ancient times, all knowledge related to fire was considered part of the mystical realm...

The knowledge that had been gathered from various channels resurfaced in Ansu's mind.

He also recalled his previous speculations:

"The number of mystical superhumans is unknown, but they all come from two directions."

Together, we can deduce knowledge and gain more esoteric and extraordinary knowledge containing ether and of various types.

Just like a wizarding academy.

Or... kill all beings who possess the same type of knowledge.

The more you kill, the higher the concentration of ether contained within knowledge.

The effects of corresponding occult knowledge will also be enhanced.

With the help of the crystal ball, they were able to uncover the corresponding memories of Tistu.

All of Ansu's doubts were answered.

"The Wizarding Academy learned of the impending resurgence of the ancient wizards through some means."

They also learned that the ancient wizards' fighting methods were related to fire.

Ansu then flipped through the numerous fire-type extraordinary knowledge he had previously obtained from the centaur wizard Novaka.

Then he noticed that some of the extraordinary knowledge was incomplete.

Moreover, when combined with other extraordinary knowledge, it can produce even stronger effects.

Or... a more complete effect.

"This extraordinary knowledge appears to have been extracted from a high-level extraordinary knowledge."

The reason why wizarding academies break it down and make it available to every wizarding apprentice is that they do so.

This was done to weaken the power of the ancient wizards.

Ansu could probably guess that the Wizarding Academy was distributing fire knowledge to weaken the ancient wizards who were about to resurrect, rather than to compete for resources.

After all, the strongest wizard is still alive.

Moreover, thousands of interdimensional wars of varying scales are taking place every moment.

If ancient wizards, like wizards of the present age, enjoyed constructing and deducing new types of extraordinary knowledge...

This is also a good thing for the wizarding academy.

There are also quite a few dark wizards in the wizarding academy.

The reason ancient wizards were targeted by wizarding academies was certainly not because their supernatural knowledge was too cruel.

Ansu then analyzed the wizard's behavior, eliminating one possibility after another.

Until only one possibility remains:

"Ancient wizards abhorred mystical and supernatural knowledge diluted with ether."

They want to kill all beings in the present age who possess occult knowledge.

In the midst of constant killing, even ordinary fire-making skills may be transformed back into mystical knowledge.

Ancient wizards can also regain their identity as a small number of intelligent beings who possess knowledge of mysticism.

Once again, they have reached the pinnacle of the wizarding world.

The moment this thought arose.

Ansu immediately realized the crisis.

It wasn't just because I had already learned a lot about soulfire and other flames.

Rather, it was because of something else:

Alchemy Pigments

According to Belles.

Knowledge related to pigments is among the oldest forms of occult knowledge.

The ancient wizard murals within the wild wizard's residence seem to corroborate this.

Ansu was unsure whether there were ancient wizards who used alchemical pigments as their primary system.

"If there were any ancient wizards associated with alchemical pigments."

After reviving, it will most likely kill the corresponding wizard immediately.

This ensures that the ether concentration within the pigment-related knowledge is restored to its peak.

I need to accelerate the process of improving my strength again.

Ansu didn't know when the ancient wizard would awaken.

But it's never wrong to improve your strength as soon as possible and to build up more unique occult knowledge of your own.

"There is less than a month left to prepare for the entrance exam to the Wizard Academy."

For me, passing the assessment shouldn't be too difficult.

However, if you want to pass the assessment with a higher rating, or even the highest rating.

This requires more knowledge reserves and more mysterious attributes.

Only by doing so can one obtain additional extraordinary resources.

Then I'll use that to increase my chances of survival.

Thinking about this...

Ansu planned to use the aid of combat-type pigments to acquire some extraordinary resources before the assessment time arrived.
