Wizard, I Have Another World

Chapter 24 Necromancer Dust

Necromantic dust?

The people of Heicheng call it Soul Powder.

What it's called doesn't matter; judging from Sybel's expression, you can tell that this thing is very valuable in the eyes of wizards.

Karl was jolted awake.

It was worth the trip I made to travel through time and collect so many things; I finally found something useful.

"Necromantic dust is usually found on undead creatures. When mixed with honey, purple lotus, and crystal shards, it becomes a potion that can enhance mental power."

Hibel's beautiful eyes sparkled:

"Do you still have any necromantic dust in your house?"

"Hmm..." Karl hesitated for a moment before slowly nodding:

"have."

How many?

"About twice as much as here?"

He wasn't quite sure; he had just grabbed a handful when he arrived, and didn't remember exactly how much.

"Twice as much?"

Hibel stood up, her voice trembling with emotion:

"Sell them all to me, and I'll waive today's tuition and assessment fees. What do you think?"

"Senior Sister," Karl asked instead of making a decision immediately.

"Is this important to you?"

"This..." Hibel paused slightly, then nodded:

"Potions that can increase mental strength are important for every wizard apprentice, and I am no exception."

"Because of the existence of the Holy See, there are very few undead creatures in this world, and undead dust is also rare, which is why I am a little excited."

She was not lying.

There was no need to lie; these were basic facts of the wizarding world, and Karl would know them sooner or later.

"Senior Sister," Karl said.

"I can give you the items, but I don't want to deduct them from my tuition fees."

"Oh!" Sibel's beautiful eyes flickered:

"So what do you want?"

"This..." Karl tentatively began:

"witchcraft?"

"Impossible." Hibel shook her head.

"Putting aside the fact that you haven't even mastered the basics of meditation and can't learn witchcraft, this necromantic dust is far from worth the price."

"Um……"

"I do have a magic trick; I wonder if you'd be interested?"

"A magic trick?" Karl straightened his back.

"What is magic?"

"You can think of it as a relatively simple zero-level sorcery. The trick I can teach you is called the Light Spell."

Hibel finished speaking and gently pointed forward with her index finger.

Her fingers were slender and white, like jade shoots, a perfect work of art, but what was even more eye-catching were her fingertips.

A bright light gathered at his fingertips, then suddenly exploded, the blinding white light causing Karl to instinctively close his eyes.

It was just a fleeting moment.

Everything will be back to normal.

"This is the Light spell," said Hibel.

"Without preparation, vision will be affected, and it will also have a certain weakening effect on shadow creatures. If the control is stable, it can continue to illuminate the darkness."

Light spell?

Karl stroked his chin.

This magic trick is not very powerful. If the opponent is prepared, it can be said to be useless. However, if you encounter it suddenly, it can startle you.

and……

It seemed perfect for the dark and gloomy environment of Black City, so I clapped my hands lightly:

"make a deal!"

Hibel smiled, pursing her lips.

The Light spell was worthless to her, but exchanging it for key materials for potions that increase mental power was just as worthwhile.

"Senior Sister," Karl said again.

"Can I learn to brew potions?"

"Of course, no problem," Hibel replied affirmatively.

"My advisor majored in pharmacy; how could I, as his student, not understand pharmacy?"

"but……"

"You know what I mean."

Karl laughed.

Of course he understands.

Knowledge requires payment.

However, he clearly did not expect that learning potions in the wizarding world would be so expensive and complex, even more so than learning lesser spells like Force Field.

"General Knowledge of Herbs and Plants", "Complete Guide to Low-Level Enchanted Potions", "Detailed Explanation of Biology", and even Anatomy, etc...

These books are essential for beginners in pharmacy. Each one is as thick as a dictionary and is not cheap, costing more than one or several gold coins.

Attending classes requires additional payment.

When Karl left the manor, his pockets were empty. The wealth he had gained from his trip to the other world had been completely used up, and he even had to pay for the carriage on credit.

His complexion was extremely unpleasant.

Fortunately, the harvest was quite fruitful.

Like the lesser spell Field, learning the Light spell also requires meeting certain prerequisites.

"Basic Principles of Light", "Eight Elements of a Stable Light Source", and "Arcane Principles", but I've already studied Arcane Principles, so that will save me some time.

"Many principles of witchcraft are universal, so once you master one form of witchcraft, learning others will be much smoother."

Carl put down his book and picked up a crystal ball beside him.

This is an enchanted item he bought from Sybel, which cost him half of his savings.

It's already very cheap for an enchanted item.

It can be used three times.

It will automatically become unusable after three uses.

There are also crystal balls that can be used almost infinitely, such as the one in Sybel's hand, but they cannot be bought with a few gold coins; they need to be traded with magic stones.

The magic enchanted inside the crystal ball is a probing technique, which can help the holder gain a deeper understanding of their own situation.

The crystal ball, about the size of a human head, is not heavy. It is probably not solid inside, as you can see ripples similar to water waves.

"Probing technique?"

Carl composed himself, and following the method taught by Hibel, held his breath and placed his hands on the crystal ball.

Speaks strange syllables:

"Oh... Oh..."

next moment.

Karl shuddered, feeling a faint warm current emanating from the crystal ball and flowing into his limbs and bones.

The warm current comes and goes quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it shrank back into the crystal ball, and the inside of the crystal ball also changed. Various colors appeared in the originally clear and transparent water, rising and falling in waves.

Based on the different colors, corresponding data can be analyzed.

"Physical constitution level one, mental strength level one and a half, sorcery talent level four..."

"Um."

After thinking for a moment, Karl, holding the crystal ball, arrived at the Divine Realm.

He was curious whether the results of his investigation would be different if he used his investigative skills here.

"Oh... Oh..."

Sitting on the ancient, mysterious chair, Karl uttered syllables, but before the crystal ball could reveal the result, a strange feeling rose in his heart first.

seem……

Within this divine realm, I naturally possess the ability to investigate.

His eyes flickered, and he gently raised his hand, following some instinct hidden deep in his heart, and waved it forward lightly.

"Whoosh!"

The starlight gathered before my eyes, transforming into a subtitle.

Name: Karl (Lord of the Fragments of the Divine Realm)

Physical condition: 0.77

Mental Power: 0.96

Source quality: 0

Occupation: Knight's Squire, Wizard Apprentice (Untrained)

"That actually works!"

The attempt yielded a response, and compared to the vague grading provided by the crystal ball, the values ​​given by the Divine Realm were much clearer and more concise, with additional explanations.

The only difference is that there are no talent levels, but instead there is an unknown source substance.

"The Lord of the Fragments of the Divine Realm?"

Here, Karl remained completely calm, devoid of any emotion, only absolute rationality. Therefore, he experienced no excitement or agitation, only calm analysis.

"In other words, this is a fragment of a divine realm. Since it is a fragment, it must have once been complete."

"I am the master of the fragments..."

"If I could obtain the other fragments, would I be able to become the ruler of the divine realm?"

"What exactly is the Divine Realm? Is the Lord of the Divine Realm a deity? Or is there some connection between the Divine Realm and deities?"

With many questions remaining unanswered, I simply stopped thinking about them. But I'm certain that the fragments of the divine realm must have other undiscovered abilities.

Just like this time.

If Karl hadn't brought the crystal ball, he probably would never have known that his strength could be presented in a quantifiable way within this fragment of the divine realm.

Concise, clear, and easy to understand.

…………

Back in the real world, Karl suppressed his fluctuating emotions and, as usual, tried to practice his visualization technique before going to sleep.

This time, whether it was due to accumulated experience or a natural progression, they succeeded in one fell swoop.

Visualization technique, a beginner's guide!
