Magicians never make wishes

Chapter 114 Spinning Tops

The Necropolis is the core area of ​​the entire Necropolis Valley.

It not only seals away many terrifying undead, but also contains numerous dangerous companion souls and undead creatures.

The necromancy materials produced in the Valley of the Dead are extremely valuable on the market and are especially popular among necromancy mages.

Whether used for experiments or magical purposes, it can produce excellent results.

For this reason, this dangerous area is practically a money pit for all necromancy academies.

"Don't worry, we're just taking a stroll around the cave entrance; we don't plan to explore further down."

Lehart explained, reassuring the group.

Upon hearing this, the group breathed a sigh of relief.

After Roland logged onto the Magic Network, aside from briefly browsing the various sections at the beginning, he didn't pay much attention to other information about the Dead Valley.

He had originally thought that the Valley of the Dead was at most a larger secret society or adventurers' guild.

I never imagined there would be such a dangerous place within the academy.

Even if Ronan were slow to realize it, he could tell from the reactions of the others that the danger of this necromantic cave was far greater than they had imagined.

"Mr. Lehart, are you sure you don't want to take these freshmen deep into the Necropolis, right?"

Margaret stared intently at Reihart, causing him to instinctively take a step back. "I can't control what others do, but this person has signed a contract with Professor Grecker, establishing a long-term partnership."

She pointed to Ronan and explained the stakes.

Despite feeling flattered and favored, Ronan didn't really think Lehart would care about these things.

"Don't worry, Miss Margaret."

Reihart joked, "These days, it's not like we used to trick apprentices into filling caves."

"Now that everyone's here, let's take on a quest near the cave."

Reihart glanced at the group and said, "Give me your code names. I'll register your team information first."

"Overlord Fist." The body-refining youth seemed to have developed an offensive bias.

"Remnant Star." Remnant Star is just called Remnant Star, nothing special.

"Green Wolf." The green-haired man with the sinister smile gave himself what he considered a cool and unrestrained nickname.

"White Night." Ronan still preferred to use his old code name.

Lehert nodded. "During the mission, address me by my rank, call me Captain, or my codename, Black Mage."

"Yes, Captain." X4

"Captain Black Mage, have we taken the wrong path? Is this the Cavern of the Dead?"

Ba Quan stared wide-eyed, looking around, but couldn't see any caves.

All around were graves and withered mounds.

They finally encountered a moving figure, only to discover upon closer inspection that it was actually a newly born ghoul.

"What's the rush? Let's fight our way through, practice our new magic, and gather some resources."

Dark Lord Lehart turned to his apprentices and teammates to confirm, "Have you all completed the spellcasting for 'Skull Summoning'?"

The three nodded in succession.

Only Ronan was completely bewildered, and asked, "Captain, what's this 'Skeleton Summoning Spell'?"

"Oh, so you were sent to the research institute back then."

Reihart realized what was happening and said, "Forget about it, it's too late now."

"I previously gave them a 'Skeleton Summoning' spell, instructing them to prioritize constructing magical configurations to facilitate the acquisition of resources at any time."

"Captain, please give me one too," Ronan earnestly requested.

What kind of luck is this? I was chosen to be an experiment right away, while the others got to receive a necromancy spell right away.

Reihart's eyes suddenly lost focus, and after a moment he said, "I sent it to you on the magic network. You can look at it when you have time."

He waved his hand, signaling the group to continue forward.

Ronan couldn't wait. Judging from what the other party said, mastering this magic was related to acquiring resources.

So, he nodded in agreement on the surface, but in reality, he activated the semi-immersive mode of the crystal ball.

Projecting the "Skull Summoning Spell" into the upper left of his field of vision, he followed behind the group while silently reading the spell's contents.

Meanwhile, the Book of Magical Knowledge is being rapidly compiled.

"Summon Skeleton" is a zero-ring necromancy spell that can summon a skeleton from various skeletal corpses, which will be completely obedient to the caster.

After learning about this magic, Ronan had a feeling that the "resources" that Lehart mentioned probably referred to the corpses that met the conditions for summoning skeletons.

A range of half-dead, half-dark creatures, such as ghouls, zombies, and skeletons, can provide excellent external conditions for summoning skeletons.

Ghouls are typically half-rotten humanoids who crave human flesh.

Despite their decaying bodies, ghouls move incredibly fast, and their claws and teeth are often coated with paralyzing toxins.

If a regular mage is bitten, he will quickly lose the ability to resist and become its food.

However, the newly appeared ghoul clearly did not possess this ability.

It didn't even have a chance to attack.

The moment they were discovered, they were engulfed by the combined magical attack of their three teammates and fell completely silent.

Ronan was quickly learning the "Skeleton Summoning Spell" through the Book of Magical Knowledge, but he was a beat too slow and missed his chance to use it.

It feels really good to have someone fighting monsters ahead of you —

It has to be said that there is some truth to the fact that these people and he are called the "strongest four".

At least they were indeed among the strongest of the newly abducted students.

"Captain Black Demon, how should we distribute this ghoul?" the green-haired, sinister-looking man asked.

Lehart waved his hand casually: "Then it's yours, Green Wolf."

"You two don't need to rush. There are plenty of monsters along the way. Just keep attacking at the same pace as before, and everyone will get some loot."

He looked at Ba Quan and Can Xing and explained.

Ba Quan and Can Xing nodded. They knew they had to follow the captain's instructions regarding the distribution of tasks, and he certainly wouldn't favor any one person.

The green-haired, sinister-looking man walked excitedly to the ghoul corpse, which was no longer human.

This was the first time he had officially cast the "Skull Summoning" spell on a target since he learned it.

Although all three of them had constructed the magical configuration, this was only the first time they had cast a spell.

The green-haired, sinister-looking man instantly channeled his mental energy into the magical construct, then shouted, "Skull Summoning Spell!"

The ghoul corpse on the ground twitched slightly, then fell silent.

"It failed?"

He turned his head somewhat uncertainly to look at Lehart.

"It's normal to fail the first time you cast a spell. Just try a few more times," Reihart encouraged.

"Skull Summoning Spell!" The green-haired, sinister-looking man regrouped.

The ghoul twitched once more and then fell silent.

"Skull Summoning Spell!"

This time, the ghoul's corpse didn't even move.

The green-haired, smirking man was starting to question the meaning of life.

Can I use this free magic?

"You guys give it a try," the green-haired man with a sinister smile said to the other two.

"Is it okay, Captain Black Demon?" Overpower was eager to try.

"You can figure it out yourselves," Reihart said nonchalantly, "but don't take too long."

"Okay." After discussing it with Canxing, Baquan walked towards the ghoul's corpse first.

"Skull Summoning Spell!"

The ghoul on the ground slowly straightened up in a bizarre, twisted posture.

But immediately, it lost all support and returned to its original state.

"Skull Summoning Spell!"

"Skull Summoning Spell!"

"Skull Summoning Spell!"

Remnant Star also tried to test the waters with his spell, but the situation wasn't much better than that of Overlord Fist.

Eventually, the three of them simply surrounded the ghoul and kept casting spells on the corpse.

The ghouls would react from time to time, their reactions fluctuating briefly before quickly collapsing.

From a distance, someone who didn't know better might think these three people were spinning tops on the corpse.

"How about I give it a try?" Ronan's voice rang out from behind the three of them.
