  Chapter 15 Preparation

After learning the primary level Wisdom, Rhodes' speed of reading magic books is significantly faster.

It didn't take long before Rhodes put the books together and began to digest their contents.

The first half of the magic book records some of Elliot's experience in manipulating the undead and meditation, and the second half is some spells. In addition, most of the book is blank.

After carefully recalling what was written in the book and comparing it with the knowledge he had learned in his previous life, Rhodes felt that there was new knowledge in his mind. He checked the system log and found that it was indeed the case.

"By reading the magic book, you have learned the First Rank spell [Magic divide arrow], [Slow Spell], [Aegis of Body Protection]"

"[Magic divide arrow Lv1 ]: First Rank magic. Consumes 6 mana, launches a magic Lightning Strike on the enemy, causing 16 damage. EXP 20 required to upgrade."

"[Slow Spell Lv1]: First Rank Earth Element magic. Consume The mana value is 6, the speed of an enemy is reduced by 2, the duration is 22 seconds, and the EXP required to upgrade is 10."

"[Aegis Aegis Lv1]: First Rank Earth Element magic. Consumes mana value 5, Reduces melee damage taken by 10%, lasts 22 seconds, and requires 10 EXP to upgrade."

"By reading other mage's cultivation experience, you have acquired some knowledge about controlling undead creatures, and you can continue You can master it by yourself, or you can spend 80 EXP to master it directly."

The damage that the spell can cause and the duration of the spell are related to the sorcerer's own spirit attribute.

When first awakened in the tomb, Rhodes had only 2 spirit attributes. After a series of racing achievements, Rhodes' current spirit attribute is 6, and the spell effect has been enhanced to some extent.

According to Rhodes' estimation, his current spirit attribute should only be at the apprentice level, much lower than Elliot's attribute.

Even so, Rhodes is still satisfied, because Rhodes did not take the initiative to allocate attribute points to the spirit, but relying on the attribute bonus brought by achievements, the spirit attribute has been improved.

Rhodes knew that when he was able to meditate deeply, he would take a leap forward in his spirit attribute.

What bothers Rhodes most is not the effect of learning these spells. Due to the experience of the previous life, the effects of these spells are not mysterious in Rhodes' view, but the news at the end made Rhodes pay more attention.

Rhodes took a look at the attribute panel. After killing the magic apprentice and other undead creatures, Rhodes currently has a total of 215 experience points.

The number of EXP has reached the level of upgrading the rank, but Rhodes did not choose to upgrade, but chose to consume 80 EXP to learn the skill [spiritual imprint] used to control undead creatures.

Making undead and manipulating undead require two completely different skills.

The manufacture of undead relies on the handling of corpses by undead mage, as well as the special skills Soul Evocation Technique. Soul Evocation Technique is the signature skill of the undead mage, which needs to consume skill points to learn. The undead creatures of the overwhelming majority are transformed from the Soul Evocation Technique.

All you need to control the undead is a common skill [spiritual imprint], which can be obtained by using EXP, or you can learn related knowledge by yourself.

[spiritual imprint] The principle of this skill is not complicated, but it takes a long time to practice after understanding the principle. Rhodes saves the practice process after mastering the experience and can use it directly.

It is said that this skill was originally developed by the big mage to control the lifeless golem, and later became widely spread due to the use of the undead mage.

Rhodes learned this skill precisely to deal with the wolves below. Rhodes remembers that the undead mage apprentice sent two skeleton warriors into the tomb before entering the tomb.

As the apprentice is dead, after learning this skill, Rhodes can directly control the two skeleton warriors!

Relying on [spiritual imprint], the undead mage can control the unowned low-level undead creatures, but it is not so useful for the undead creatures with autonomous consciousness.

With these two skeleton warriors attracting fire and distracting the wolves, Rhodes can use his sword technique to kill the wolves one by one.

When Rhodes was thinking of ways to deal with the wolves, he also considered using the original corpses in the tomb to minimize the risk. Apprentice Elliot doesn't have active zombies, Rhodes can activate them.

But the premise is that Rhodes must learn Soul Evocation Technique.

Soul Evocation Technique is a unique skill of the undead mage. After ordinary players learn it, they will be forced to be divided into the undead mage camp, and the choice of occupation will be limited when advanced.

Rhodes has some hesitations in his mind about whether to study Soul Evocation Technique.

In the previous game, most of Rhodes' adventures were in Brakada, the country of mage, and more about the undead mage was through the game forum.

Bracada strongly rejects undead mage. Once you learn the Soul Evocation Technique and enter the undead mage camp, these experiences are likely to be useless.

After a brief hesitation, Rhodes decided to study Soul Evocation Technique.

Rhodes understands that for his current self, Soul Evocation Technique is the most effective way to improve his strength, not only to deal with the wolves in front of him, but also to deal with the enemies behind...

Even if you don't learn Soul Evocation Technique now, in order to enhance your strength in a short time, you will have to learn it in the future.

Besides, Rhodes has this confidence, even if he doesn't follow the old path of his previous life, he who has two game experiences, and who has the attribute bonus brought by his racing achievements, can still become a high-level powerhouse.

Rhodes uses the last 1 skill point to learn the primary level Soul Evocation Technique.

“Soul Evocation Technique is a unique skill for undead mage, confirm whether to learn it? Yes/No”

Rarely, the system sent a prompt before Rhodes learned Soul Evocation Technique, which is A treatment that no other skill has.

Rhodes chose to learn the side effects of learning the Soul Evocation Technique.

(primary level Soul Evocation Technique: Through the study of the undead spell, you no longer believe in the boundary between life and death. Death is no longer the end of life in your opinion, you step into the dead The gate of the world. You can awaken the dead, but it seems a little difficult to rely on your own strength.)

"You got the racing achievement [Undead Mage]"

"[Undead] mage 】: Learn Soul Evocation Technique. Basic reward: Undead mage faction favorability +10%, good racial faction favorability -50%. When advancing, you can only choose a rank related to the cemetery. Wear reward: Soul Evocation Technique level +1."

Rhodes' eyes lit up when he saw the wearing reward behind the achievement.

The Soul Evocation Technique consumes a lot of its own mana at low levels. For the apprentice-level undead mage, if you don't use the energy of death from the outside world, you may not be able to wake up a skeleton soldier even if your mana is exhausted.

Because of this, upgrading the Level 1 Soul Evocation Technique level, whether it is to reduce the mana consumption at a low level, or to leave a lot of skill points at a high rank, this wearing reward can be said to be very practical.

The other positive effect of increasing undead mage favorability is not very useful by comparison.

Even if the favorability is negative, in order to extract and utilize your value, the undead mage will issue you various tasks. And even if the favorability is positive, when competing for resources, the undead mage will not give up the benefits he has acquired just because of a little favor.

After clicking Soul Evocation Technique, all preparations are completed. Rhodes received his weapon in the space ring, and looked towards the entrance of the dark tomb, ready for action.
