"It's nothing, just saying hello to you, and asking about something by the way. Richard looked at the old man and said calmly.

"Inquire about something?" the old lich man was furious when he heard Richard's words, "you need me now! you didn't need me just now, so you threw me into the iron box, and my anger has not yet subsided." ”

After a pause, the old man of the lich looked at Richard's appearance, became even more dissatisfied, and almost jumped to his feet: "What are you doing, what do you mean by this expression?"

"I just wanted to say that it was three days ago that I threw you in the iron box. Richard said.

"Three days...... Before, has it been so long?" the old man was stunned for a moment, and then continued to shout unaffected, "Then I don't care! Anyway, you have to apologize to me! And you have to promise me free of charge to help me come back to life." After that, I may only think about it and help you. ”

"Are you sure?" said Richard as he asked the old man the lich, earnestly, "the thing I want to ask you about is not very difficult. I think, for you, maybe it's just a gesture. In comparison, your resurrection, even you yourself have no guarantee of success, the gap between the two is too large, is it? ”

"No, in my eyes, this is very much in line with the principle of equivalent exchange. The old man of the lich said loudly, "I will only help you if you help me to resurrect me, otherwise I will not provide you with any knowledge." After all, I'm not stupid, if you drain my knowledge little by little, and you abandon me again, I will lose a lot. ”

"So, you choose, let me abandon you now?" said Richard meaningfully.

"If you abandon me now, you won't get knowledge, but I'm not going to suffer anyway. "So, think about it, and when you've thought about it, you'll decide to resurrect me, and call me again." By the way, remember, don't lose the bugs next time, just tap the life box a few times and I'll feel something, after all, I'm not asleep anymore, you know!"

With these words, the old man turned around and returned to the life box, and the black smoke quickly dissipated.

"You don't even seem to have listened to what I'm asking about. Richard said as he looked at the life box in his hand. Shaking his head helplessly, he put the life box in his hand casually, and looked at the corpse of the old man Ford.

After a few glances, he turned his head to look at the forbidden wizard book on the iron frame on the side, "The Secret Story of the Vaishyas".

"Well, let's try it yourself. Richard said, walked to the iron frame, took down the "Vaishyya Secrets", and began to study it while flipping through it.

Earlier, he said that he had a little difficulty trying to parse the soul.

That's true.

But it's just a little difficult, it's not completely impossible, and his confidence lies in the wizarding book "Vaishya Secrets".

I think that at the beginning, this was something that attracted close to a fourth-level wizard master, and the knowledge recorded in it was really amazing. Not only are there "Soul Moths", which are attacking spells against souls, but there are also some spells that analyze soul memories, and there are more than one.

The main reason why he turned to the old man of the lich was that it would take a lot of time and effort to study the relevant spells on the Vaishyya Secrets, and it was likely that he would only use it once, and it was too cost-effective.

But at present, the old man of the lich has put forward an almost impossible trading condition, and refuses to trade in a different direction, so he can only make a cost-effective choice.

"Boom la la ......"

Richard flipped through the Vaishya Secrets, looking for a few spells that he had skimmed at a glance.

"Whoa, whoa...... Well, found it. Richard spoke up and flipped to the back pages of The Secrets of the Vaishyas, and saw a total of three preliminary soul-analyzing spells written on it:

The first, soul listening, is the ability to learn about some of the things that the soul did during its lifetime by listening to the whispers. The advantage is that the difficulty is extremely low, and the disadvantage is ...... In many cases, it does not work.

In Richard's view, this is more akin to a delayed listening to a will, better than nothing, to be determined.

The second, soul connection, allows the caster to connect with the target soul and quickly exchange information, which can obtain a large amount of information in the target soul in a short period of time.

The advantage is that it can analyze the soul to a large extent and figure out the soul memory, but the disadvantage is that it is easily affected by the target soul memory. In most cases, the target soul memory will be treated as its own dream, and will be forgotten after a period of time. In a small case, the target's soul memories become part of their own memories. If you use too much, you can easily have a nervous breakdown.

In Richard's view, it is like a double-edged sword, the advantages and disadvantages are very obvious, and it is better to choose carefully.

The third, Soul Echo, is where the caster releases a special energy fluctuation that acts on the target soul, and then returns a portion of the information. This will give the caster a rough idea of the condition of the target soul, but it will take a little longer and be more environmentally demanding.

In addition to being quiet, there must not be too many soul creatures around (including but not limited to humans), otherwise the feedback will be affected or even skewed.

The advantage is that there is no harm, the difficulty is relatively low, and the entry is simple, but the restrictions are also relatively large.

In Richard's view, all things considered, might be the most suitable way. Although there are limitations, the environment of Eden is definitely satisfied.

So what are you waiting for?

Richard exhaled lightly and began to study the spell "Soul Echo".

One minute, two minutes, three minutes......

One hour, two hours, three hours......

Richard was immersed in the study, and in the blink of an eye, most of the day passed, and even the specific time could not be determined for the time being.

Richard sat at the desk in the research room, the corpse on the table had been pushed to the ground at some point, and the table was covered with a large amount of papyrus, on which were dense numbers and formulas.

"Rustling ......"

Richard was still writing, and after a long while, he stopped, looked at the results of the numbers on the last papyrus, took a deep breath, and said to himself: "Well, if there is no problem, the mana operation of 'Soul Echo' is like this." ”

"Then let's try it. Richard looked at him, stretched out his hands, picked up the corpse on the ground, and began to recite the incantation.

While reciting the incantation, the control source releases multiple strands of free energy elements, which run in order until they reach a specific state, and are released from the palm of the hand to take effect.

Finally, Richard pressed his hands towards the corpse's head on the table.

But as soon as he was halfway down, Richard's body suddenly shook, his hands were violently bounced away by a repulsive force, and his body shook several times before he stood firm.

Richard's face turned slightly pale, and it took a full three seconds before he became bloody, because the spell failed for unknown reasons, and he was counterattacked.

The spells recorded in the Vaishyas Secret Story are, after all, relatively taboo "evil spells", and even if they are relatively simple to get started, ordinary wizards need more than ten days or even months to master them.

Richard, with his own ability, greatly shortened this time through calculations, but it was still difficult to succeed the first time.

After all, he is still a human being, and it is impossible to completely transcend the limits of the rules.

Otherwise, he would have been like an egg, hatching a nuclear weapon to solve all the troubles, so why bother piling up raw materials step by step from scratch.

After suffering the spell backlash, Richard's face became a little solemn, and he said in a low voice: "The release of the 'Soul Echo' failed? So, the calculated mana operation method is incorrect? Well, the backlash is not very serious, it means that it is not completely wrong, the error is only a part, it may be caused by negligence in some aspects." So what is it? Perhaps, we have to change the mathematical method and recalculate it.

As he spoke, Richard picked up his quill and rearranged the calculations on the papyrus. I just wrote a few numbers, and found that the corpse lying on the table was pressing down on the paper and was very obstructive, almost without thinking, I reached out and pushed, and the corpse fell to the ground with a "bang", and then rolled several times with a "grunt".

Richard didn't notice anything wrong, just a thought flashed through his mind: Well, it's finally out of the way.

"Rustling ......"

Then Richard immersed himself in the world of mathematics and kept writing.

......
