Chapter 7 The Skeleton Who Can Read
Chapter 7 Skeletons who can read books
As an intermediate fire magician in the Principal of Ultraland, Sprach felt that using magic flames to make various magical materials into various magic equipment is much more meaningful than directly attacking the enemy with magic.
Sprach's greatest wish is to become a great alchemist, not a great magician. Therefore, Sprach came to Ultraland Magic Academy and became an ordinary magic teacher. His purpose was to be free to use the alchemy laboratory and rare magic materials in the academy.
As long as there is no teaching task, Sprach will plunge into the alchemy laboratory, guarding a bunch of fires, and performing his favorite experiments.
Today, Sprach intends to create a magic ring.
The flames in the furnace had changed from pale to blue. Sprach knew that the furnace temperature now had reached at least 1,300 degrees Celsius and could melt Mithril.
Sprach carefully used tweezers to pick up a piece of mitril silver weighing only 0.02 ounces, put it in a crucible and calcined it with a fire.
Mithril is a very expensive magic material. Although it is only a small piece, it is worth it to Sprach's monthly salary. If it weren't for the convenience of laboratory, Sprach wouldn't have the ability to create such a luxurious ring. Therefore, Sprach was very cautious and carefully controlled the fire with magic power, waiting for the moment when Mithril melted.
"Teacher Sprachi, Teacher Sprachi, it's not good!" The door of the laboratory was suddenly pushed open brutally, and several students from Sprachi ran in panic: "Camilla summoned an undead creature!"
Sprach looked back and saw that these people were all second-year students in the Magic Academy, and they all looked panicked and seemed to be frightened.
"What did you say?" Sprach was too focused just now and didn't hear them clearly.
"There is a skeleton in the classroom, which... was summoned by Camilla." Aiwei'er was already incoherent because of fear.
"Just just a skeleton, tell me what's going on?" Skeletons are not terrible undead creatures. Unless they gather into a skeleton legion, a single skeleton will be like a crossing rat in the magic academy, and any magic apprentice can destroy it.
"It's me, I want a magic pet, but I didn't expect to summon a skeleton." Conflict and fear intersected, Camilla was almost crying.
"Is it your magic pet?" Sprach frowned.
If a skeleton just appears, it is a simple matter to destroy it or send him back to his original place. But once this skeleton becomes a magic apprentice's magic pet, the problem will be very complicated.
The magician's magic pet and the warrior's summoning beast are two concepts. For a magician, the magic pet is more of an entertainment tool or a scout, rather than a partner in cooperating.
Therefore, the level of the magic pet is generally not high, and it is also very small in size, mainly small animals such as parrots, spiders, and mice.
Once a magician has a certain amount of magic power, he can make a promise to the God of Contract and summon his pet.
The contract between a magician and a magic pet is exclusive. A magician can only summon one magic pet, and a magic pet can only have one magician master. Unless the contract is unfortunately dead, a new contract cannot be signed.
"Why not summon under the guidance of the teacher?" Camilla and the others were magic apprentices and could not master their magic powers skillfully. Therefore, the college stipulates that when low-grade magic apprentices use magic, they require their instructors to be present in case of an accident.
"I... Aiweier summoned a parrot, it's fun..." Curiosity and jealousy are girls' nature. When my partner has a beautiful little pet, Camilla also wants one. Unexpectedly, the beautiful little pet did not come, but a tall and mighty skeleton came.
Sprachi is not a strict teacher, not to mention that Camilla is just a teenager. He doesn't want to blame her too much. "Don't worry, let's take a look at this skeleton first."
It has been more than ten minutes since he was summoned, and Lei has been standing there, curiously observing this magical world.
Lei originally thought that this summoning must be the necromancers that needed him to fight again, so Lei was also prepared. He was ready to resist the orders of the necromancers and not attack the soldiers in the fortress, but to crazily collect fresh souls.
But Lei did not expect that he would come to such a magical place.
There is no war here, no terrible magic explosion, there is only a big house, with dozens of tables, chairs and benches in the room, and in a corner of the room, there is a large bookcase.
Lei had never seen these things before, but when they saw them for the first time, their names appeared in Lei's soul heart, and even their uses were a little known.
The human who summoned Lei and her three companions ran away after shouting at Lei. Lei didn't know what he should do, so he had to wait in place.
Lei could clearly feel the human who summoned him, and the moment he saw him, a feeling of fear and disgust arose in his heart.
"That human hates me, and she is also afraid of me?" Why is this?
Lei felt strange at first, but then a sarcastic feeling in his heart. Perhaps it was because of the contract imprint, or perhaps because Lei was eager to survive in the human world, so Lei was unwilling to be disgusted by that human being.
"Her voice is so wonderful!" Although I don't know what Camilla said, Lei instinctively felt it sounds nice, and he hoped to hear such a sound often.
Before those humans came back, Lei tried to move his body. Although that kind of spiritual connection still existed, he did not give any instructions to Lei, and Lei could freely control his body.
So Lei began to walk around. Lei first walked back and forth in the classroom, and curiously stroked the tables, chairs and benches. Then Lei walked to the front of the window. Through the window, Lei saw that there were many tall buildings outside, many big trees and beautiful flowers and plants in the yard. Among the flowers, a few butterflies were flying back and forth.
What a wonderful world! Such a beautiful scene will never appear in an abandoned place.
Because the sunlight coming in from the window made Lei feel very uncomfortable, Lei stood in front of the window for a few minutes, then turned around and left, and came to the big bookshelf.
The bookshelf is more than two meters high and four meters long, and is filled with various books. These books are free reference books for students provided by the Magic School. Students can watch them at will, but they cannot be taken out of the classroom.
Lei stretched out a silver-white skeleton arm, picked up a book randomly from the bookshelf, opened it and took a look.
There are many strange lines in the book, and Lei doesn't know what it is, but some of the illustrations in the book aroused Lei's interest.
This is a book about undead creatures. The page that Lei opens happens to be about skeletons, which depicts a portrait of a grey-bone skeleton.
Lei felt that this portrait looked very similar to his previous self (in fact, all the skeletons looked similar in appearance, so he looked at it seriously.
The next page is the portrait of white bone skeleton, metal skeleton, silver skeleton and golden skeleton. Turning back, a white skeleton appeared again, but some red silk threads appeared on the bones of the white skeleton. After turning another page, Lei actually saw a portrait of a creature with muscles on his body.
Seeing this, thunder made a huge wave in his heart - is this the evolutionary process of skeletons? If their strength reaches a certain stage, skeletons will grow flesh and become a real human?
In fact, Lei made a mistake. He didn't know the text and didn't know that the picture was not a skeleton, but another branch of the undead creature - a zombie.
"Oh my God, Ramila, your pet is reading a book!" The few humans returned, followed by a middle-aged human in red hair robe.
"Is this the magic pet you summoned?" Sprach was a little surprised after seeing Lei: "With your magic level, you can summon a bone skeleton at most, but you didn't expect you to summon a silver skeleton."
"What is a silver skeleton?" It was the first time that Camilla had carefully observed his magic pet since summoning Thunder.
"A combat-type skeleton with good strength is equivalent to the level of a second-level monster." Sprach explained: "Generally, the bones of skeletons are gray or white, and their combat power is very low. An ordinary soldier can defeat them. Such skeletons are skeleton soldiers. The gray-brown skeletons are skeleton warriors. They have metalized bones, and their strength is roughly equivalent to that of a first-level swordsman. The higher the level, they are skeleton warriors. Their bones are pure white. We call them silver skeletons, and their strength is similar to those of a third-level swordsman."
"That means there are still golden skeletons?" Aiweier asked, "Are they all amazing?"
"The golden skeleton is also known as the skeleton general. Its bones are golden and its strength is comparable to that of intermediate sword masters. In addition to their strong fighting ability, they also have certain undead magic. Such skeletons are very rare." From silver skeletons to golden skeletons is a qualitative change, so their strength has increased a lot. "There are also skeleton lords and skeleton kings above the skeleton generals. These are legendary existences, and they can only be found in some classics."
"That is, it's useless?" Camilla was disappointed: "He looks so ugly, teacher, can I not let him be my pet?"
"It can be done in theory. When your magic level is equivalent to an intermediate magician, you can forcibly remove the spiritual imprint between you and him."
"It will take at least fifteen years to become an intermediate magician. Why not kill him now!" Camilla could not tolerate other friends having beautiful pets, but her pet was an ugly skeleton.
Almost at the same time when Camilla said that, Lei instinctively felt a threat. While standing, De Lei suddenly took a step back, took a fighting position, raised his right hand, and pointed the rust sword straight to the humans in front of him.
Thunder's soul heart suddenly brightened, and the blue soul fire shone a blue blue around it.
