Chapter 147 Necromancer, Rune Mage

Thanks to Dina's financial power, Nora's advanced manual was purchased in full early the next morning.

The necromancer girl excitedly began her job change.

The job change process was completed smoothly.

According to Senior Colin, human professionals are very safe from their first to third job change, with virtually no chance of failure.

Even if you fail due to bad luck, it only means that you have extremely poor compatibility with the secret manual, and the only loss is a class-specific secret manual.

However, by the fourth job change, the success rate drops significantly, to the point where it's almost impossible to succeed.

Colin did not specify why this was the case.

However, this is not something they should be dealing with right now; it's not too late to explore it later.

Inside Nora's room, Dena looked at the white-haired girl who had just completed her job advancement and asked, "By the way, why is the advanced class of a necromancer called Necromancer? It's just one word different?"

As Nora experienced the physical changes after the class change, she replied, "The advancement of all mage classes can be broadly divided into two schools. One focuses on combat power, such as a..."

The second-tier class of the Pale Mage.

"This class is also one of the advancements of the Necromancer. The class talents are related to combat and excel at enhancing oneself and controlling the undead."

o

"The second is the focus on knowledge, such as my necromancy."

"As the name suggests, this class is for scholars of the Necromancy school, and their class talents are related to knowledge."

Dina stroked her chin and said, "Why do I feel that Pale Mage suits you better? Wasn't your previous class talent 'Undead Commander'?"

Nora rolled her eyes at Dina and said, "I've just been busy with battles lately. I'm a proper researcher."

After swallowing the necromancy tome, Norabi became much more assertive than before.

As the saying goes, the one who owes money is the boss. Although she will definitely pay back the money, her cunning nature cannot be hidden.

Dana wasn't angry about this; she had anticipated Nora's behavior. She continued the previous topic, "So, what talent did you awaken this time? Is it related to scientific research?"

Upon hearing this question, Nora's eyes lit up, and she nodded, saying, "While my awakened class talent isn't as good as your Sun's Blessing, it's the one most suitable for me."

"The talent is called 'Spiritual Material Optimization,' and its effect, simply put, is to permanently enhance various undead materials."

At this point, Nora's eyebrows lit up: "Do you know what the biggest obstacle is for a mage who likes to make necromancy equipment?"

The key lies in the materials.

"To be honest, I've wanted to improve my skeletal rifle, grenades, and other equipment for a long time."

"Besides that, I had already conceived many new designs, but they have been shelved because the strength of ordinary necromancy materials is not high enough, and materials with sufficient strength are too precious."

"With this new talent, my design concepts can finally come to fruition!"

With that, the necromancer waved her hand, indicating that she wouldn't talk to them anymore.

She jumped out of bed and rushed to the basement, which had been converted into a laboratory, as if Ping couldn't wait to start new research and development.

Louis and Dina exchanged a glance, a sense of unease creeping into their hearts.

Perhaps Nora will come up with some amazing new invention when she comes out of seclusion next time.

After all, a mage's strength lies in two things: their own abilities and their insatiable thirst for knowledge and research capabilities.

Throughout history, there have been instances of low-ranking and weak mages who pulled off incredibly dangerous feats that nearly destroyed a kingdom.

Hopefully, Nora won't become one of those mad sorcerers.

Another week later, Melli also successfully completed the job change.

His secondary secret manual was naturally inherited from Colin's class-specific secret manual.

Colin's second-level secret manual is called "Runecraft Mage".

With Nora's explanation, they understood the focus of rune-writing mages.

Merry's awakened talent is called "Runic Profound Understanding".

Its effect is very simple and straightforward: the deeper Merry's understanding of a certain rune, the more the power and duration of that rune will increase, up to a maximum of three times.

This is also one of the foundational talents for "building the world of runes".

A single rune's power being tripled may not seem like much, but a rune barrier always contains more than one rune.

There are anywhere from three or five to dozens, hundreds, or even more.

Each rune's power and duration can be tripled. How much will the overall power increase when hundreds of runes are combined to form a rune barrier?

This is extremely hard to imagine.

Upon learning of Merry's new talent, Colin was very excited and immediately began to teach Merry the more advanced rune arts.

Both Merry and Nora are knowledge-based mages, so their need for comprehension is naturally very high.

Louis and Dinah were generous, sharing all their insights with the two as they studied and conducted experiments.

Yes, the talent of "Collection of Insights" is a true collection of the insights of other people in the team, rather than creating new insights out of thin air.

In other words, when a teammate borrows the insight of another person, that other person's comprehension of knowledge becomes dulled.

Of course, this only means becoming less sensitive to learning; daily activities and thinking will not be affected.

Therefore, the four members of the team usually use this talent in shifts to avoid collisions, otherwise they won't have enough comprehension points.

By relying on the "collection of comprehension", the four members of the team roughly figured out who had the highest and lowest comprehension among them.

Merry is undoubtedly the most perceptive, surpassing the combined comprehension of the other three, which is extremely extraordinary.

Below Merry is Nora, whose comprehension is about two-fifths of Merry's. This makes her the second smartest person in the team, and her comprehension is enough for Colin to recognize her as a genius.

Next is Dina, whose comprehension is only about three-quarters that of Nora, but she also falls into the category of genius.

Louis was undoubtedly the worst performer on the team.

Putting aside his various talents, his comprehension is only considered to be above average among professionals, neither good nor bad.

In terms of quantification, it's roughly equivalent to two-thirds of Daina's comprehension.

But all of that is in the past.

In the sewer squad, individual aptitude doesn't matter. As long as they are in a state of "collective aptitude," even Louis can possess extraordinary wisdom and learn anything quickly.

After Merry successfully changed jobs, the Sewers team officially became a level 2 adventurer team, and among level 2 adventurer teams, they were considered a strong team.

After his teammates were all strengthened, Louis couldn't help but ponder his three job changes.

Five level-three demons or the saving of five million people are needed for the creation of one's own level-three secret manual.

How exactly should we accomplish this great undertaking?

Just then, a group of uninvited guests suddenly arrived.

Princess Irithyll and her team came knocking.
