I have a Synthesizer

Although I didn't get the answer I wanted, it still gave me a vague direction. The next steps will depend on my own research.

After the Arcane Arts class, Klein returned to his dormitory. Research into Arcane theories requires gradual progress. What he urgently needs now is to improve his own hard power.

It's been a few days since I synthesized anything. I'll bring up the synthesizer. Now, the environment should be safe enough, it's time to start developing steadily.

This time, Klein didn't synthesize ordinary items. Instead, he took out two Necromantic Particles from his pocket.

After placing the Necromantic Particles into the synthesizer, the prompt he received was different from that of ordinary items.

【Synthesis Material: Necromantic Particle (Tier 1) + Necromantic Particle (Tier 1)】

【Probability of obtaining Tier 1 or Tier 2 material, extremely low probability of obtaining special material】

"Material? The probability of Tier 1 and Tier 2 are the same. If Tier 1 appears, it's equivalent to failure. Extremely low probability of obtaining special material, what is special material?"

"Synthesize."

【Synthesizing, please wait, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1】

【You have obtained a new item: Necromantic Crystal (Tier 2)】

Fortunately, it's a success. Tier 2 materials should be much more expensive than Tier 1.

Picking up the Necromantic Crystal, this is his second one. Klein took out another Necromantic Crystal from his pocket and compared them.

The synthesized Necromantic Crystal is fuller and darker. Obviously, the quality is better than Hector's.

"Indeed, the function of the synthesizer is far more than just synthesizing curiosities."

Looking at the Necromantic Crystal, Klein smiled contentedly, preparing to go downstairs and spend some money at the Royal Academy's internal shop.

For his next training, he needs to prepare some basic materials.

Basic materials can be bought at the academy's internal shop, while high-level materials must be found in the various guilds of Tyrrel.

"Psychic Ink, magic paper, testing stand..."

"That's about it."

After a simple shopping spree, Klein returned to his dormitory with a large bag of materials.

He knows how to create food and water, so even if he doesn't go out, he won't starve to death. Therefore, the time for focused hard work has arrived.

— — — — — —

Time flies, and more than a month has passed.

During this month, Klein has been alone in his dormitory studying the Necromantic Handbook, to the point of being completely engrossed.

Although he hasn't neglected his Arcane Arts courses, he hasn't put as much effort into them.

His basic magical theory knowledge is good, and he originally thought that cultivating necromantic spells would be a natural process.

But in actual practice, reality slapped him in the face. In more than a month, he hasn't succeeded even once.

The various materials consumed during this period were enormous. He has already used 4 bottles of Psychic Ink alone.

This kind of ink is the medium for psychic summoning, and it is quite expensive, costing 25 Thales per bottle. Ordinary people simply cannot afford it.

To become a powerful professional, talent, hard work, resources, temperament, and opportunity are all indispensable.

Wanting to learn psychic summoning in just over a month is, in the eyes of many, a pipe dream.

If it were to reach the ears of necromancers, they would probably only say that Klein is blaspheming necromantic magic.

However, Klein has made great progress in this month. From not even being able to draw the magic patterns correctly at the beginning, to now, the whole process only fails due to a little bit of imperfection.

He feels that he is about to succeed.

Drawing the last stroke of the palm-sized magic pattern, Klein clenched his hands tightly and recited the magic incantation at the same time.

"Psychic Summoning!"

Gray energy emerged from Klein's eyes, and this energy gathered in the entire room.

Klein kept pouring magic power into the aggregation point. "Buzz!" A gate to the Netherworld opened in front of Klein's palm.

Gray color, the aura of death.

"Finally, I succeeded."

After so much effort, he only summoned an ordinary skeleton warrior. In the eyes of many necromancers, this is a losing proposition.

Because necromantic summoning is not only about psychic communication with the Netherworld, but also about using corpses, which is much easier.

Even if you don't choose to kill people, corpses can also be purchased from some official institutions. Although this practice has always been resisted by certain righteous people, such as paladins.

But this practice has always existed.

Klein has no way to find corpses in the school, and he doesn't want people to know that he knows necromancy, so if he wants a skeleton, he can only perform psychic summoning.

This method of summoning skeletons is extremely costly, not only requiring psychic ink to draw the magic circle.

Moreover, after summoning the gate to the Netherworld, whether or not a skeleton is summoned, a Necromantic Particle must be sacrificed.

"The price of Necromantic Particles is too expensive, 30 Thales for one."

However, everything is worth it.

Klein opened the synthesizer and brought up the Soul Extension interface.

【Detected existing undead summon, strengthen the skeletal body?】

"Strengthen the skeletal body."

【Strengthening, please wait】

The skeleton that Klein had managed to summon in front of him suddenly shattered, turning into small bone fragments.

These small bone fragments formed a floating bone line and drilled into Klein's spine from his back.

Intense pain came at the same time, causing Klein to fall to the ground.

Bean-sized beads of sweat dripped from Klein's forehead. He lay weakly on the ground, and the surrounding floor was already wet with his sweat.

"Huh! ~" Klein tried to lower his voice as much as possible, he didn't want to attract anyone's attention.

The reason for such pain is also because Klein's physique is too weak.

He has to endure the physique that others can cultivate in a few months, or even years, in a short period of time.

The process of strengthening the body is so painful, it's just that he has concentrated all the pain into one time.

… …

【Skeleton Warrior strengthening completed】

【Your constitution +2 increased to 2.8】

【Your strength +2 increased to 2.7】

【Your agility +1 increased to 1.8】

Klein is awake, but he hasn't moved.

The strengthening has been completed for some time, but he is still lying on the ground.

The significant increase in attributes makes him very happy, but Klein still wants to lie on the ground.

For no other reason, he just feels that this will make him feel a little more comfortable.

After another fifteen minutes, Klein silently got up. New power flowed and spread through his body, which was incredibly wonderful.

Skeletal strengthening is ancient magic, and only Joe and the protagonist know it.

Ordinary necromancers have weak physiques because they are conventional necromancers
