I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 90 Perfect Deal
The magic on the scroll is divided into three categories: ordinary formal magic, improved magic, and masterpieces.

The three magics that Roland was interested in were: Awakening of the Dead (official magic), Enslavement of the Undead (official magic), and Stitching of the Golem (his masterpiece).

Awakening the Dead summons the undead to aid you in battle. This is particularly useful in a place like the Black Forest, where corpses abound. Some wizards also use this spell to deeply awaken certain undead spirits and ask them questions.

Deep awakening can only keep the undead awake for a short period of time. Generally, after asking a few questions, the undead will dissipate.

Undead Slavery is an almost essential basic magic, with a wide range of uses. By imprinting one's spiritual mark on the souls of some undead, one can force them to sign a contract and enslave them.

As for stitching golems, it's used to create slaves. This magic is more complex, requiring soul stitching, soul infusion, and a ritual.

It involves many kinds of magical knowledge, but Hei Gu is very conscientious and includes soul stitching, soul infusion, rituals and other contents into the magic of stitching puppets.

After hearing that Roland was going to choose these three magics, the person opposite the mirror pondered for a long time.

After a moment, Hei Gu said, "To be honest, I'm still experimenting with the magic of stitching puppets. Although the theory is complete, it still lacks some verification."

According to Black Bone, the purpose of creating this magic was to "create." He hoped to create creatures with true self-awareness and the ability to think independently, and train them to become his apprentices.

After hearing this, Wallace lost his composure and asked, "You're saying you have to kill the apprentices first, take their souls, and then sew those souls back into their bodies? Black Bone, you're truly insane!"

Black Bone cursed, "What do you know, demon! This is creation! It's God's authority! Once my magic is verified, it means that creation is not God's right, but the law of nature!"

He interrupted their quarrel and asked, "Lord Black Bone, can you infuse your soul into the puppet and make it a reliable magic puppet?"

The other party was slightly stunned, and then there was a burst of laughter. "Boy, you are very smart. I tell you, there is absolutely no problem. The thing that was turned into a puppet by the ballet ghost is the best container."

Black Bone gave some explanation of this magic.

So far in his experiments, those unconscious dead objects have gained consciousness after being infused with souls, but no thoughts have been born.

However, through spells or some tools, they can understand the owner's thoughts and do something.

It seems that this is no different from the undead summoned directly by "Awakening of the Dead", but the undead created by soul infusion are more spiritual and have more potential.

Black Bone warned, "Let me be clear: Arraca's wizard inspections have been very strict recently. You can purchase some puppetized monsters, or find puppetized apprentices in the Black Forest to experiment with. But don't steal the puppet apprentices who have been sent back to the academy."

If you need slaves, I have connections. They're all members of the Twilight Council. Those damned cultists are even more hateful than the White Wizards. And they're in opposition to the White Council. So even if you're caught, the most they'll do is send you to Arakko Prison. It won't be a heavy sentence, you'll be out in a year or two."

Wallace nodded repeatedly as he listened. He said to Roland, "You're still young. It's okay to go to jail once or twice. Just think of it as gilding."

Roland's face turned ugly, and he muttered softly, "What kind of words are you talking about?"

Roland exchanged the three spells for the Black Knight, and also packed up the undead materials and scraps in the bag and sold them to Bernard for 40 magic stones.

As for the contents of the Soul Shrine, Roland didn't sell them. He planned to enslave the ghosts himself, using their essences and souls to make his own puppets.

With the magic of undead enslavement, the dozen or so ghosts in the soul niche will be put to good use.

Judging from Roland's previous battles with these ghosts, their attack power was very low, less than 1 unit, but they were numerous and elusive.

"I still have some monster materials. Would you like to take them?" Roland threw over a bag filled with the remains of level 0 and level 1 monsters.

Among them, the 0-level monsters are mainly "blood rays", while the 1-level monsters are all kinds of monsters.

Hei Gu took a look at the contents, then threw them back in disgust. "I'm not a junk collector. You can throw these apprentices' stuff into the academy's general store. However, if you collect any puppets in the Black Forest, you can sell them to me. Apprentices disappear in the Black Forest every month, and no one will ever find out."

A bloody transaction ended just like that.

Hei Gu handed Roland three crystal balls, each containing his detailed explanations of the three spells. These could be played back and viewed with the naked eye, or directly with mental power. Combined with some literature in the library, he could generally understand them.

As for whether Roland could learn it, Hei Gu didn't care. According to him, if Roland couldn't understand such detailed information, he wasn't worthy of learning his necromancy and creation techniques. Roland didn't know if Hei Gu's puppets could be considered creation techniques. But if forbidden magic was added, perhaps creation could be achieved.

After returning to Wallace's office, Roland sold all the potions to Wallace.

Selling these more than one hundred bottles of potion to others would be too conspicuous, but selling them to Wallace would not be so taboo.

After checking Roland's potion box, Wallace's eyes lit up slightly. "Let's make a deal. I can only pay 3 magic stones per bottle. As for how much I sell it for, don't worry about it. Just don't be jealous."

Roland said, "Eat as much bread as your stomach can hold. I'm not a merchant. Three magic stones may be a bit low, but it's the purchase price, and I can accept it. As for how much you can sell it for, that's up to you."

Wallace put away the potion with a smile and paid for it. "Your batch of potions came just in time. After I resell them, I can pay off the interest on my bank loan this month."

Wallace really didn't have much money left, as he spent as much as he earned.

Those potions were worth a total of 317 magic stones. Roland didn't want to owe money, so he returned the 200 magic stones for this month to Wallace.

Wallace smiled happily and gave 117 magic stones.

He has been short of money recently, and these more than one hundred magic stones have taken away all the money in Wallace's hands.

Adding the 40 magic stones traded from Bernard, the total amount obtained this time was 157 magic stones, plus 3 magic spells.

Roland thought to himself, "After buying all the materials from those monsters, I'll still have some money. That should be enough to repair the pocket watch. If not, I can consider selling something else."

Roland asked Wallace about the place where the strange objects could be repaired.

Wallace said, "It's in the academy. I'll tell you the location later. Don't leave in a hurry. I have a business deal. Are you not interested in discussing it?"

Roland showed a wary look: "What business?"

Wallace smiled and took out a bottle of Femme Fatale and said, "Secondary processing. I'll provide the materials, and you'll do the work. Process three bottles of potion, and I'll give you one magic stone for the work."

It was said to be processing, but in fact he asked Roland to help him make counterfeit goods.

The materials are all junk. After processing, Wallace can sell them for 6 magic stones.

After hearing this, Roland was furious and cursed, "I won't let a black-hearted businessman like you do such a shameless thing! Unless you raise the processing fee to 1 magic stone per bottle!"

"make a deal!"

Roland didn't expect this guy to agree so readily, so he waved his hand and said, "I don't have time these days."

"Then please lend me the Crucible of Suffering. It's best not to carry it with you while you patrol the forest these days. Just come to me when you need it."

Roland felt that Wallace was right.

I am about to deal with the ballet ghost and the red spirit. If I turn into a puppet and meet the apprentice who accidentally comes to the patrol house, then all the things I have will have to be given away.

I can rest assured that Wallace will keep the crucible for me.

Roland gave the crucible to Wallace, and Wallace asked Roland if he had encountered any trouble recently.

Roland didn't say much to Wallace, he just said that there were some troublesome undead near the big house, so he made a group of ghosts and puppets in the past two days and killed them all together!
Wallace nodded and said, "This time, we only need to use our tools to explore 30% of the Black Forest. We should avoid running into the Night Family's children or the bad boys from the Black Abyss."

Roland couldn't help but think of the melee he saw that day. He played with his pocket watch and left Wallace's office.
