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

Another wizard?

Ansu could probably guess who the other wizard was.

After all, besides Sandru, Anzu only knew one other formal wizard.

That is, Novak, a centaur, is in charge of teaching the course on "Painting-type Spell Scroll Drawing".

After saying goodbye to Hetok beside him, and indicating that they would discuss matters related to the assistant later, he...

Ansu mounted the skeletal horse brought by the Knights Commander.

After a series of twists and turns, we arrived at the familiar alchemy workshop.

Upon entering, one sees a hunched old man in a black robe and a centaur with a paintbrush hanging from his waist.

It was Sandru and Novak.

Upon seeing Ansu arrive at the alchemy workshop, Sandru also paused his conversation with the centaur.

"Ansu, do you know about the [Original Sea of ​​Truth]?"

"【The Sea of ​​Origin and Truth】?"

Upon hearing this, An Su flipped through her memories.

However, no familiar information was found.

So Ansu shook her head.

"No, Mr. Sandru."

Seeing this, Sandru briefly explained the relevant information:

"This is the laboratory that the Dean built upon the concept of truth."

It can be used to acquire all knowledge that has been completely forgotten.

Therefore, once the corresponding knowledge is acquired, the number of those who possess it will only increase from zero to one.

Because the number of people who possess it is extremely small.

The effect can be greatly enhanced under the influence of ether particles.

Even after acquiring the relevant knowledge, a special change may occur due to the blessing of the concept of "truth".

All Dark Sun Wizards believed that the [Sea of ​​Origin Truth] was the fastest shortcut to perfect immortality.

Ansu was indeed unaware of matters concerning the [Original Sea of ​​Truth].

But he knew that the definition of perfect immortality had only two key points:

[Omniscient].

And [all-rounder].

But to date, no one has been able to achieve even one or both of these goals.

Even the headmaster of the academy, who is the strongest wizard in the world, only has more knowledge than others.

It is impossible to achieve omniscience and omnipotence.

Ansu could vaguely guess what Sandru wanted to express, so she tentatively asked:

"It's because I received a Dark Sun rating."

So, is it possible to enter this laboratory called the "Origin of Truth"?

"That's right."

The centaur Novak, standing nearby, then picked up the conversation:

"When selecting assistants for the [Original Sea of ​​Truth] laboratory, the Dark Sun rating will give you an extra advantage."

But other conditions are also required.

As he spoke, the centaur Novak held up two fingers:

"Firstly, I received recommendations from three formal wizards."

Sandru and I both think you have good talent, so we're preparing to give you a recommendation spot.

Many wizards have also seen your talent, so finding a third recommendation spot shouldn't be too difficult.

Secondly, it involves selection by the dean of the academy.

The specific selection method will be adjusted according to the dean's experimental progress.

However, you can also gain additional opportunities through other actions.

For example, receiving a Dark Sun rating in the academy's entrance exam, having higher aptitude for mysticism, and taking more mystical courses...

Listening to their conversation, Ansu pondered for a moment, then asked another question:

"Mr. Sandru, Mr. Novak."

If you want to increase your chances of entering the [Original Sea of ​​Truth].

Among the courses available at the wizarding college, are there any that are best suited for me?

Ansu is very interested in the "Original Sea of ​​Truth".

Even if it doesn't directly lead to perfect immortality through omniscience and omnipotence.

Speaking only of knowledge that has been completely forgotten,

Then combine with the ether particles that are free-floating throughout the wizarding world.

It can also be used in many clever ways.

"That's exactly what we wanted to tell you."

Sandru nodded slightly, and then continued:

"Ordinary wizards need to spend Soul Coins to learn most of the courses."

Even for apprentices with Star Rating and Blood Moon Rating, the only difference is that they will consume fewer Soul Coins.

However, you have a Dark Sun rating.

As long as the course times do not conflict, and you can pass the subsequent academic assessments for the relevant courses.

No Soul Coins are required.

You already have a good enough understanding of [Alchemy Pigment Mixing] and [Painting-Type Spell Scroll Drawing].

If you choose these two courses.

Not only will you not gain much, but you will also not reap much reward.

There's also the possibility that scheduling conflicts with classes could affect the efficiency of acquiring other extraordinary knowledge.

After a pause, Sandru told Ansu what he had prepared beforehand:

"Based on my analysis with Novak, there are three courses that are best suited for you:"

Spell model construction.

Alchemy tool manufacturing.

And the combat application techniques of alchemical pigments.

The first two Ansu were understandable.

An ability that grants oneself the power to cast spells of a specified type.

The other one can create alchemical items.

Furthermore, alchemical tools can be used to mix alchemical pigments or to construct painting-type spell scrolls.

But the third one...

Why dedicate a whole lesson to learning the combat application techniques of alchemical pigments?

Ansu didn't understand.

After all, it was in his mind.

This course should be included in [Alchemy Pigment Mixing] or in [Painting-Type Spell Scroll Drawing].

Instead of being listed as a separate course.

Seemingly noticing Ansu's confusion, the centaur Novak continued:

"This is different from what you did in previous assessments."

You simply use the carapace and scales of insect-like magical creatures as a medium, and then draw artwork-style spell scrolls on them.

The effect is indeed quite good.

However, if you choose the [Alchemy Item Application Techniques] option, you can make better use of alchemy pigments.

For example, the custom of applying paint to the face or body, which has existed since ancient times.

After being modified by the wizards, it became a method of applying alchemical pigments for painting faces and bodies.

In addition, there are many other applications of alchemical pigments related to combat.

Even if you don't use it yourself, you can apply it to making totem poles and alchemy tools, or to better enhance your familiars...

Listening to the centaur Novak's description, Ansu learned more about the wizarding academy:

The formal wizards are there for the additional experimental resources provided by the academy.

They would then choose to teach the relevant knowledge to wizard apprentices in the course at the cost of reducing the concentration of ether contained within the knowledge.

But in contrast.

The wizards also chose two teaching methods:

Only teach the basic knowledge relevant to the course, in order to prevent the concentration of ether contained in the advanced knowledge that belongs to oneself from decreasing.

Or it can teach both basic and advanced knowledge.

In this way, they could obtain more experimental materials from the college.

The wizards responsible for teaching specific areas chose the latter.

Ansu has already acquired a great deal of knowledge related to alchemy pigments.

For Ansu, choosing a course on alchemical pigment combat application techniques would also yield greater benefits.

There's still some time before the course starts.

Before proceeding, you can first use the "Etheric Meditation Method" provided by the academy.

This is to enhance one's occult talents so that one can reap sufficient benefits when the course begins.

besides…"

As he spoke, Sandru took out a monocle with a gold frame from his wizard's robes.

"Since you've already received the Dark Sun rating, which has benefited me, this is my second investment."

As soon as he finished speaking, the monocle immediately floated into the air.

Before long, it drifted and swayed all the way to Ansu's hands.

"This is an alchemical artifact."
