Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Even so, Gregor still counted on his fingers and offered several solutions.

Option 1: Possess a demiplane fragment.

"Find an unclaimed one, or destroy a large enough demiplane fragment, transform it into an environment suitable for their survival, and then move the entire race into it."

"But the prerequisite is that you must have the ability and knowledge to control and stably connect to a demiplane, or at least be a senior, formal wizard."

"Taking over such a demiplane usually means war. Your hundreds of skeletal earth dragons would only be cannon fodder in such a war, and the energy required to maintain the basic operation of the demiplane is astronomical."

"Option Two: Create a large-scale spatial folding magic artifact."

"Legend has it that there are super space equipment that form their own ecosystem, such as the 'Mobile Beast Nest' or the 'Legion Ring'."

"But that thing is at least a masterpiece by a master craftsman of the fifth ring or above. The materials are rare and there is no market for it. You couldn't even get a scrap of it if you sold yourself."

Option 3: Leasing of resource space under the college.

"You can apply to the academy to rent a section of the [Ten Thousand Bones Forest] or a similar plane on a long-term basis as your exclusive breeding farm."

"This requires a massive amount of contribution points and a certain level of authority, and your 'private property' is located on the academy's territory. As for its security... you should weigh the pros and cons yourself."

"Finally, maintain the status quo, ensure their absolute loyalty with a powerful contract or spiritual imprint, and then let them stay in their original territory. Inscribe a two-way teleportation array, and summon them when needed."

"This is the easiest method, but it's also the easiest to cause accidents. Any high-level undead or formal wizard you happen to pass by could wipe out your 'private property' in one fell swoop."

After listing the list, Gregor looked at Lynn's somewhat serious expression and snorted:

"Do you understand? None of them are things you can handle right now. The simplest way is that once you become a formal wizard, you might be able to slowly accumulate enough merit points to meet the conditions for Plan Three, but..."

He changed the subject, adding a touch of sarcasm from someone with experience: "Once you become a proper wizard, with higher standards and greater strength, you might not even look at these hundreds of clumsy, stupid earth dragons anymore."

"At that time you might pursue more elite and more promising undead units, such as a true bone dragon legion, or special elemental undead."

"These earth dragons might end up being a useless burden, neither worth eating nor worth throwing away."

Linn was silent.

My mentor's words were direct and harsh, but they were the reality.

Having a powerful army of skeletal earth dragons is really cool, and it looks impressive when you take it out.

But he is currently just a lowly wizard apprentice, not yet capable of supporting such a massive "private army" dream.

"The student understands."

Lynn nodded, putting aside his ambition for the time being, and deciding to think of a solution later.

"Thank you for your guidance, mentor."

"Hmm." Gregor waved his hand, refocusing his attention on his bone plate.

"If you have nothing to do, just stay out of the way and don't bother me. As for the earth dragons... let them live in the wild for now. We'll think about how to settle them when you can carve out a small piece of land on your own."

Lynn nodded silently and returned to her cubicle.

One must take things one step at a time.

Now, my biggest task is to push the mental vortex to its full potential as soon as possible and break through the barrier of becoming a formal wizard.

Only by becoming strong can one achieve all ambitions.

...

In the days that followed, Lynn's life became unusually regular, and he devoted almost all his energy to cultivating his spiritual vortex.

He cherished this peaceful life of spiritual practice.

He disposed of most of the materials he collected during his outings, along with the undead that he could not use or that lacked potential, in batches at the Ghost Market.

Thanks to his reputation as the "enlightener" and the large number of undead he captured, he amassed a total of 830 magic stones.

With the original 1,400 contribution points in the nameplate, his total assets instantly approached the 1,000 magic stones mark.

Even for a third-class apprentice, this was an astonishing fortune.

With ample magic stones, Lynn's cultivation became increasingly extravagant, and he would sit cross-legged on a pile of magic stones to meditate each time.

He also temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​continuing to set up a stall to provide "knowledge consultation".

Furthermore, I don't plan to use this to make money unless absolutely necessary in the future.

Although Lynn gained a top-tier first-level magical artifact from being invited for tea by his master's wife, it also set off alarm bells in his mind.

If you're caught by other wizards this time, they won't care about this or that; they'll probably just "search your soul" directly.

I should keep a low profile in the future. I'm already quite impressive with the title of a top genius. If I show any other special abilities, it will only bring more trouble.

With top-tier talent and cheat codes, you're destined to reach the pinnacle. Why take unnecessary risks for a few magic stones?

With abundant resources at his disposal, Lynn began to strengthen himself.

He first spent sixty magic stones to purchase materials such as [Netherworld Iron Bone Powder] and [Swift Horse Soul Crystal] to thoroughly enhance the Death Knight's mount, the Bone Horse.

With the enhancement of materials of extremely high compatibility, this loyal bone horse successfully advanced to level 3.

Its skeleton is more compact and agile, greatly improving its charging speed and endurance.

Furthermore, it awakened a useful ability called "Ghost Charge," which allows the Death Knight to enter a semi-ethereal state for a short period of time, greatly reducing physical attacks and obstacles.

Then, Lynn found Gregor scratching his head over a certain energy node and immediately offered him three hundred magic stones.

"Master, could you please help me procure the materials needed to repair the Soul Lamp? Let me know if you need more."

Lynn's tone was calm, yet it exuded an air of confidence that "money is no object." "Go ahead and buy the good stuff, we'll take care of it."

Gregor glanced at the pile of glittering magic stones, then looked up at Lynn's "sincere" face, his lips twitched, and finally swept the magic stones into his drawer, muttering:

"You brat, what are you showing off for? It's not like I'm not going to buy it for you, I just haven't found the right opportunity yet."

The saying "money makes the world go round" is absolutely true.

With the blessing of the magic stone, the mentor's channels were indeed surprisingly efficient.

The very next day, Gregor threw the repaired Phase Soul Lamp to Lynn.

Lynn was speechless.

Good grief, I've been using you like an interest-free credit card, and you're playing delaying tactics on me.

If we hadn't become wealthy this time, who knows when this soul lamp would have been repaired!

The soul lamp had completely changed its appearance at this moment.

The originally broken and cloudy crystal chandelier has become clear and transparent, with silver starlight seemingly flowing slowly inside.

The newly added, complete, and precise "Stable Phase Rune Sets" on the lamp holder and lamp body shimmered with a faint light, blending perfectly with the original structure.
