Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

"Please teach me necromancy." Zhuang Xuteng said with a serious expression and respect.

"It can't be taught, and you can't learn the 'Necromancy' spell." The pink skull shadow emphasized the word "Necromancy", and then said: "The Necromancy spell can only be used in my world, your world They have different rules. The only common magic rule between the two worlds is soul energy, which is what you call shadow followers."

"Soul energy is also very new to my world. Only a few people have studied it, and I am one of them. But even so, I only use the principles of necromancy to control soul energy. It’s the way you control shadow followers in this world.”

These words were a bit convoluted, and Zhuang Xuteng thought hard for a while before he basically turned the corner. He pointed out the key: "Not long ago, you just said that I can ask you about the knowledge about Shadow Clan."

"The shadow knowledge I have is also from the perspective of necromancy, using necromancy spells as a medium. If you can also use necromancy in your world, then my knowledge is useful. Otherwise, it is just It can be used as a reference.”

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, now he completely understood. "Are you sure necromancy cannot be used in this world?"

"I'm sure. Before I was captured, I kept trying to cast spells on your world, but all the spells would dissipate as soon as they entered this world. Powerful spells, weak spells, complex spells, simple spells... no matter what they are. Characteristics, in short, none of them are accepted by your world.”

"It turns out there is such a thing. This is the first time I have heard of it." Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and then said: "There is a question that I don't quite understand. Did you use magic to pull those two people over last time? Why? Can it succeed?"

"I have no idea."

"You don't know?" Zhuang Xuteng was shocked and asked: "How can you not know the spell you cast?"

"I really don't know." The pink skeleton shadow slave said: "I absorbed a little shadow slave before and recovered a little mana, so I wanted to recover more mana. There are many magic weapons from my world scattered in your world. Some of them had something to do with me, and I could feel them and recover mana from them. So I did that, and two objects responded, giving me a small amount of mana, and pulling those two people over with me. "

"I don't know why they came, and I don't know why something like this happened. With my prompts, you handled it very well and gave full play to your excellent reflexes to help stabilize the situation and give me time. The spell was checked. Soon, I found a way to reverse the spell's effects and send them back."

So that’s it! No wonder Pink Skull teleported those two people over and didn't ask them to do anything in the end. It turned out that the appearance of those two people was not in Pink Skull's plan.

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and asked: "Skull..."

"Just call me Lich Master."

"Master Lich. I have a question: Why are those two people coming?"

"I said I don't know, didn't you understand?"

"No, you didn't understand my question. You wanted to absorb energy, but two people came over. Did you absorb the energy?"

"I absorbed a little bit, but in order to send them back, I spent most of it, leaving less than 10% of the total amount."

"You just said that 'only two items responded', and then these two items sent people over, and you absorbed energy from this process." Zhuang Xuteng said: "You think there is something wrong with the spell, I think from the results , your spell worked, maybe there is nothing wrong with it."

"Go on." The Lich said in a deep voice.

"I learned a truth in the factory: If you can't pull it out from one end, try to poke it from the other end. You said that your necromancy spells are useless in this world, but you want to use spells to absorb energy. So the spell is to satisfy Your idea is to send two people over. Can it be assumed that dragging two people over is an essential condition for the establishment of the spell?"

"Haha, interesting." The Lich glared at Zhuang Xuteng and said, "You think I can't think of such a simple thing?"

"Before I say it, have you figured it out?"

The lich was silent.

"Don't blame yourself. My academic performance has never been good. If you got into my body, you might be influenced by me and become stupid."

"There is no such possibility!" The lich was very angry. It kept distorting its expression, turning the borrowed Zhuang Xuteng's face into a paste, and said viciously: "I once used a brainless skeleton as a body, and I also used a brainless skeleton to make a body. Even if I use black smoke as my shelter, it won’t reduce my intelligence!”

"Maybe they don't have the effect of reducing intelligence, but I do." Zhuang Xuteng blinked, without any psychological burden at all, and said: "Look, you just confused the two meanings. The example you gave cannot Prove your intentions. Hey, how do I feel like I'm getting smarter?"

The Lich shook his head, obviously getting more angry, as if he had been hit at a painful point.

"Don't be silent!" Zhuang Xuteng said: "Aren't we discussing the relationship between spells and shadow followers? You think you can't use spells, so you can't control shadow followers. Can it be the other way around? You use shadow followers to use spells , or things needed to create spells. If you reverse the relationship between necromancy and shadow followers, you might be able to use it in this world."

The Lich laughed angrily, snorted, and said, "Do you think I haven't tried such a simple thing?"

"Then have you considered the influence of people in your spells? Maybe if you want to cast a spell successfully, the people in this world are an essential factor in the spell."

Upon hearing this, the Lich's anger quickly disappeared. It once again faced Zhuang Xuteng with a stable, cold, and scrutinizing expression, as if it wanted to see through him completely. After a tense silence, the Lich said: "I have never thought of this possibility, and I have never done any experiments in this area."

"Does this mean there's something new to try?"

"Yes, it is indeed worth trying. I will reverse the spell, use the shadow as the raw material, and use it to drive the spell. Hmm... give me time to think about it."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and sat down to wait for him. After a while, the Lich Master said to him: "Just dreaming here is not enough. I don't have enough mana to conduct experiments, and you obviously can't send me back. However, I thought of a simple way. , maybe you can test your theory.”

My theory? This sounds very proud.

"How to test, you teach me how to do it."

"There is a simple spell in the spell that can be used to detect the effect of the spell. Its name is called detection spell. If you use spell runes to represent its structure, it looks like this..."

After that, a pattern lit up on one of the 72 pillars, and the lich asked Zhuang Xuteng to look at it. "This is the spell content of runic culture. Use mana to construct this figure, and you can get the spell effect of detecting spells."

"Okay. Although I don't understand why this is the case, I can accept its existence." Zhuang Xuteng pointed to other pillars and said, "Every figure on every pillar in this hall is a rune spell?"

"Yes. This hall is part of the Mage Tower, my domain and my home. Every inch of bricks and rocks here are generated by my power, and the spells on the pillars are the spells I allow others to learn. Public, relatively simple knowledge.”

"How many spells are there in total?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"There are 3780 on the pillar. If according to the classification method, those with similar properties are counted as one, then there are 998."

"Oh my God, you are so powerful. When the magic was the strongest in our history, all the spells were only more than 700."

"There is no magic in my world. We shouldn't learn magic." The Lich let out a long sigh and said, "Don't take the topic too far. Remember the graphics in front of you first."

"remember."

The Lich stared and said: "Remember carefully, all the details of the image must not be wrong."

"It's not wrong. I've memorized everything." Zhuang Xuteng explained: "As long as it's not words and numbers, my observation and memory are pretty good."

"Don't lie, I can try it." The Lich said: "You stay focused, recall this painting in your mind, and then use your fingers to draw it in the air in the order of left, then right, first up, then down. .At the same time, wherever your finger draws, your attention should also move to the corresponding position on the image in your mind."

Zhuang Xuteng tried according to his request. He found that the difficulty was to keep the movements of his fingers completely synchronized with the focus in his mind. He had to allocate his attention reasonably, which felt like multitasking. After ten failed attempts, he finally succeeded on the eleventh occasion.

After he completed the overall depiction, a shallow mark appeared in the air, which was exactly the shape of the spell rune.

The mark glows slightly, like a hazy firefly, with very low brightness, almost invisible if you don't look closely. Zhuang Xuteng touched it with his hand and found that it had no actual touch, and as soon as he touched it, it broke and disappeared immediately.

"That's the prototype of the rune. If you can give it mana, it will work."

"How do I give it mana?"

"You can't provide it." The Lich said: "When you come into contact with the Shadow Servant, you visualize and copy the pattern. If it doesn't work, just reverse it, or mirror it. You can try a few more methods. If your theory is correct , there should be a way to make the shadow slave react, and you will feel it."

"What will be the reaction, what will be the effect?"

"I'm not sure." The Lich said: "Considering the function and meaning of this rune itself, I think there is a high probability that it is the effect of detecting shadow followers. What information will appear specifically and how to interpret it depends on You figure it out. In this new territory, you have to start from scratch."
