It's dawn.

Laboratory, main laboratory.

At the long table in the lab, Richard sat upright, holding a quill pen and "rustling" on a papyrus scroll, noting the functions of a few things taken out of his suitcase—all of which he had generally learned after a little test.

First of all, the ordinary-looking black staff.

This is indeed a staff that allows one to control the release of spells more precisely, in other words, to make spell attacks farther and more accurate.

However, the "Precision" stat is only an incidental function of the Short Staff, and the main function is...... Energy storage.

That's right, energy storage!

This feature surprised Richard a little. With this function, it means that the short staff can store mana or free energy elements inside, and become a second source of magic outside the body. When the mana or free energy elements of the first source of law in the body are exhausted, this second source of law can be quickly replenished in reverse.

In this way, using this short staff, the mana storage can be greatly increased, and the ability to continue fighting can be significantly enhanced.

Of course, even so, strictly speaking, Richard was still a first-class wizard apprentice.

Well, a first-class wizard apprentice.

On the East Coast, wizard apprentices, wizards are divided into ranks, and there are multiple criteria.

The loose criterion is that the level is based on the strength of mana fluctuations, that is, the amount and strength of the amount of mana mobilized to release a spell in a short period of time.

The normal criterion is that a fixed level of spell is used to rank it. For example, if a third-level wizard apprentice wants to be promoted to a first-level low-level wizard, then he must have the ability to release a ring of low-level spells and zero ring of high-level spells in a row without the help of any spell props. After doing this, you can be assessed as a first-level low-level wizard.

If you can't do it, even if you have the ability to defeat and kill a first-level low-level wizard, you still have to be assessed as a third-level wizard apprentice.

The strictest criterion is that not only must all the requirements of the normal assessment be met, but also the limits such as "mental strength" and "maximum mana storage".

According to the strictest standards, Richard was undoubtedly only a first-level wizard apprentice - the weakest existence - although his mental strength had been tempered by the crystal skull and reached the level of a full-fledged wizard, the upper limit of mana storage was too low, which was the level of a first-level wizard apprentice.

There is no way to do this, if the upper limit of the energy storage is high enough, it is necessary to spend a lot of time and energy to continuously open up and expand the source of the law, and use meditation to absorb free energy elements, and then smelt them into mana for long-term storage.

Richard's time has always been very tight, and after transforming the law source in the way of the wizard of the apocalypse, there has been almost no change.

In this way, perhaps he used the way of the Apocalypse Wizard to replace mana with free energy elements, and under the premise of the same reserves, the loss was very small, and the number of spells released increased significantly. And with the magic pattern, he can release a ring of spells, and with some other means, he can kill powerful wizards of mysterious organizations like Somen, but he is only a first-level wizard apprentice - a first-level apprentice who can kill wizards.

He didn't have much resistance to that.

Because from the beginning, he didn't pursue the wizard rank much.

The reason why he became a wizard was not to "prove the Tao with strength", but to take himself as the best object of study, and to study the mechanism of action of the system of "magic" in depth.

In his opinion, it doesn't mean much to become a wizard at several levels, and it is not at all comparable to successfully analyzing the entire system.

Once the analysis is successful, then the so-called wizard level is just a string of data, with the help of the analyzed ability, he can adjust his wizard level at any time, and even make a large number of high-level wizards at any time.

To put it simply, he doesn't pursue rank, he pursues what is behind the rank.

"Rustling ......"

Richard wrote on papyrus, and after recording the functions of the storage staff, he began to record the functions of the three spell scrolls.

The three spell scrolls are "Cloak of Shadow", "Lord of the Wind", and "Eye of Gaze".

The function of the "Cloak of Shadow" is similar to the "Concealment Technique" obtained from Old Mullen, and it also has some similarities with the "Hidden Transcendent" used before. It can hide people, shield their breath and even their body shape, and achieve a kind of "invisibility" that is fake and real, so that people can "see" and not see.

The function of the "Wind Lord" is to comprehensively strengthen the control of wind spells, and can make the speed of the body burst to an extremely high level, whether it is attacking, dodging, or retreating, it is very useful.

The function of the "gaze eye" is to enhance perception and vision. The degree of strengthening perception and improving vision is continuously strengthened with the increase of spiritual power investment.

This is what Richard learned from a simple study of the contents of the three spell scrolls. Because there is no actual operation, the actual effect is not very clear, but in Richard's opinion, it is definitely only strong and not weak.

After recording the functions of the "Short Staff" and the "Spell Scroll", Richard stopped with the quill pen that had "rustle" on the papyrus scroll.

Turning around, Richard picked up the metal ball on the table and observed it carefully, frowning slightly.

Among the few things taken out of the suitcase, this metal ball is the only one that has not found any function so far, as if it was just a simple decorative metal ball.

But the problem is that this metal ball is dusty, not beautiful at all, and it is not qualified to be really decorated.

So what the hell is this?

Richard observed, pondered, and thought for a long time, but had no idea.

At this time, a familiar "bang-la-la-la" sound sounded next to him.

When Richard heard the sound, he saw that Pandora didn't know when, and began to work diligently again—washing the test tubes.

With Pandora's skillful movements, the glass test tubes shattered into pieces one by one.

Pandora's eyes sparkled at the sight of the glass tube shattering, and she quickly collected the debris and placed it in the large box under her bed, and then continued to scrub the test tube.

"Bang bang

It's an endless cycle that won't stop until all the glass tubes are broken.

Richa looked at it, couldn't help but have a toothache, and thought: It seems that he has to order a new batch of test tubes from Alex.

Thinking of this, Richard withdrew his gaze, glanced at the metal ball in his hand, and suddenly thought of the temple spirit in the palace in the suitcase-the golden mask.

Richard looked at Pandora, who was scrubbing the test tube, and suddenly stood up and said, "Pandora." ”

"Scared?" Pandora stopped her movements, turned her head to look, and asked in confusion.

"Do you want to go somewhere with me?" said Richard.

"Where?" asked Pandora, tilting her head.

"A very interesting place. ”

"Scared—" Pandora hesitated.

"Come with me. Richard said, pulling Pandora, and headed into the corner, from where he descended to the underground spell lab.

After arriving at the spell laboratory, Richard took out the suitcase from the spatial iron ring and put it on the ground, reached out to open it, and immediately released a large amount of light from the suitcase.

"It's ......," Pandora's eyes widened.

"That's what's interesting about me telling you. Richard said, pulling Pandora into the light.
