What kind of wizard are you if you don't have any entries?

In the dark, dense forest, Velin, riding a magical broom, stroked the letter in his hand.

This is a magical letter from Granny Melodia to him, containing the ritual of the contract magic messenger.

This ritual allows one to enter into a messenger contract with spirit beings.

With a magical messenger, one can not only exchange magical letters with other wizards, but also deliver spiritual resources.

Many witches' magical owls were obtained through this ritual.

After putting away the magic letter, Verin looked at the old Oren flying ahead.

"Senior Oren, how's Bloodclaw Krogg doing lately?"

"Bloodclaw Krogh hid for a while before, but now he has recovered from his injuries and is said to have fought several battles with other gangs in different parts of the dungeon."

"Not hiding anymore?"

Verin raised an eyebrow.

"very good!"

"Senior Oren, please send more people to keep a close watch on that guy these next few days."

"Once I've digested the potion and mastered its properties, I'll go hunt that damned rat."

Old Oren originally wanted to try to dissuade him.

After all, Verin was only level four, while Bloodclaw Krog was at the peak of level five and was said to be close to advancing to level six.

But when he thought of how Vellin had participated in hunting high-ranking leaders and reaped such rich rewards, he swallowed the words that were about to come out.

The fact that Vilin was able to obtain so many spoils of war means that he inflicted fatal damage on the high-ranking leader [Amos] during the hunt.

Such methods and strength are probably beyond the capabilities of an ordinary intermediate-level wizard apprentice.

"Yes, I'll have someone secretly keep an eye on him for the next few days."

"By the way, Senior Oren, do you have any blood pool-type meditation techniques?"

"During the flight," Verin asked.

Old Oren shook his head.

"I don't have the Blood Pool Meditation Technique here. It might appear at the monthly wizard exchange meetings held in the wizard camp, but even if it does, the meditation technique is unlikely to be very powerful."

"If you want to go for the Blood Demon Body Tempering style, you should find a more advanced meditation method."

"Um!"

Verin nodded.

The tower must have powerful meditation techniques like the "Blood Pool" in reserve.

To follow the [Blood Demon Body Tempering Style], opening the [Blood Pool] is crucial, and the Blood Pool meditation method should naturally be chosen based on its superiority.

Moreover, the upcoming transformative Gold-tier [Heart Engine] truly requires powerful meditation techniques to unleash its full potential.

…………

A gilded tower, within a dimly lit meditation chamber.

Verin's gaze calmly fell upon the magical messenger's contract ritual platform before him.

As one's strength increases, having a magical messenger to communicate with other wizards becomes indispensable.

In some regions, wizards even send letters of magical missions directly from the spirit world. Only those with magical messengers can receive magical missions from the spirit world.

Therefore, upon returning to the wizard camp, Verin purchased the corresponding offerings and ritual supplies according to the ritual described in the magical letter.

On the rectangular ceremonial platform, three black candles flickered on a tripod lamp.

The offerings, from left to right, are:

The frigatebird's black magical feathers.

A silver pocket watch.

A bowl of clear water infused with Vilin's blood.

And the most valuable item, priced at 24 magic stones, is the "Helmeted Hornbill Skull," which possesses a certain spirituality.

These offerings symbolize spiritual beings who possess the ability to fly long distances, are punctual, are bound by blood oaths, and are willing to accept such offerings.

As for the specific choice of messenger, that depends on the specific circumstances.

"A wanderer of nothingness lingering in the spirit world!"

"A benevolent spirit at your disposal!"

"I swear by blood and fire."

"Opening a bridge of friendship between the real world and the spiritual realm for you!"

"..."

Vilin chanted the ritual covenant in a low voice, over and over again.

Using blood as part of a ritual contract may have a very small chance of attracting some dangerous spirit creatures, but it also makes it easier to form a contract with devout followers.

Near the Holy Ship, there are very few dangerous spirit creatures, but there are many spirit creatures that are friendly to human wizards. Therefore, many wizards use blood as a medium to find a more suitable friendly messenger.

This can be considered a small perk for the wizards living under the tower.

Of course, you should be wary of spirit thieves from the spirit world.

The "Spirit Thieves" who roam the spirit world steal ritual offerings without signing any contracts.

"Ritual fraud" occurs every year and is deeply abhorred by many wizards.

A mist gradually appeared, and the area around Valin began to become illusory and hazy.

Puff puff... Puff puff...

One magical owl after another glided down from the depths of the spirit world and landed around Virin.

"Waaah..."

"Waaah..."

Some of the magical owls even called out to Valin, seemingly urging him to sign a contract with them.

Vilin showed no intention of signing the contract, but continued chanting the ritual incantation.

As time goes by.

Some faint, indistinct outlines began to appear and linger.

Compared to these magical owls, the spirit creatures that do not easily approach are far more powerful magical messengers.

Not only do they possess higher intelligence, enabling them to carry more spiritual items, but they can also deliver magical letters safely and quickly.

However, they are not easily bound by contracts.

Larger outlines lingered around for a while before disappearing.

"No powerful spirit messengers have taken a liking to me?"

Verin squinted and gently touched his palm.

"Should we unblock a silver or gold affix?"

Comparatively speaking, the aura of higher-level terms has a certain attraction for powerful magical messengers.

Just as Verin was considering it.

"Pfft... pfft..."

"Coo coo...coo coo..."

A large number of magical owls surrounded them, flapping their wings and fleeing at breakneck speed.

"Um?"

Just as Verin was filled with doubt.

A pale, slender hand, as white as winter snow, emerged from the mist. Its delicate fingers flicked lightly, and the items on the altar quickly fell into the mist and disappeared.

At the same time, Vilin's mind was slightly stirred.

He sensed that he had completed a mysterious magical contract with the spirit world and established a clear soul connection.

"Hiss... This magical messenger from the spirit world is quite impressive! He actually took the initiative to complete the ritual contract."

Verin was startled.

Ancient holy light surged into his eyes, and the outline of the messenger in the mist of the spirit world gradually became clear.

Its humanoid upper body is dressed in a white court dress adorned with dark blue ice crystal flowers, and it wears a white narrow-brimmed witch's hat on its head. Its lower body is a snake body that is two or three meters long, and it has a pair of ghostly wings with an aura of death on its back.

Its entire body was pure white, except for its pair of dark and deep wings of death.

【The Ghostly Snake Woman】

A mysterious entity from the death rift in the spirit world.

Verin's heart skipped a beat.

It seems that I have made a contract with an extraordinary magical messenger.

While Verin was pondering this.

The long arm of the Netherworld Serpent Woman emerged once more from the mist of the spirit world, her slender fingers slightly spread out in front of Vilin.

This scene made Verin's eyelids twitch.

Magic messengers also need to be nurtured.

Even the most unscrupulous factory owner wouldn't be so greedy as to think he could make someone work for him for life just by using a magic contract.

Vilin took out a magic stone and placed it in his hand.

The Netherworld Serpent Woman withdrew her arm, clutching the magic stone, and then disappeared into the depths of the spirit world's mist.

As the ceremony ended, the surrounding fog gradually dissipated.

"A single summon requires at least one magic stone."

"Compared to those owls, which only require a few magical insects to summon at once."

"The daily consumption of my messenger is not low."

"However, there are advantages to being expensive."

"At least I'm not worried about my magical letters or delivered items being stolen by those spirit birds or other evil creatures."

In the next few days.

Vilin then entered into daily meditation practice and study.

Studying the Crimson Secret Pattern Alchemy every day has become a must for Valin.

Even when he was trapped underground, he did not neglect his studies in alchemy.

Now, Velin's understanding of the Crimson Rune Alchemy has become increasingly profound.

Now, he possesses extremely high fire resistance, is qualified to control the furnace fire, and has laid the foundation for becoming an alchemist.

Before we knew it, several days had passed.

On this day, Negalo's magical owl delivered a letter.

His spell potions and elixirs were all ready.
