These two aspects made me both happy and worried.
First, after the zombie virus combined with magic, it became even more powerful.
And if Regulus could evolve into a Lich in the future, he would become even more powerful.
Because after he upgraded to a lich, he could cast a high-level spell.
Death Plague!
It was a very evil black spell that could only be cast by using the power of death.
After casting this spell, it would create a cloud made of plague gas. Wherever the cloud passed, all living creatures would be infected by the plague, causing countless deaths and injuries.
If I could combine death plague, this high-level spell, with the zombie virus, then I would be able to have a small, infectious, brand new…
Undead calamity! ! !
And all the known spells couldn’t break this zombie version of undead calamity.
Unless they could cut off the source of the infection, kill all the infected, or create a mass-produced antidote to the zombie virus.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to stop my spell from spreading, unless I retrieved the death plague.
Of course, apart from this good news, there was another bad news.
That is, I suddenly realized that the reason Regulus didn’t burn the animals into charcoal wasn’t because he controlled the magic output. It was because the power of his magic was gradually weakening.
In the end, it even weakened to the point where even a wild boar couldn’t be burned into charcoal.
This situation made me very confused.
Because whether it was in the Necromancer’s research notes or in the records of the Nolan continent,. I had never seen such records.
At first, I thought I was wrong. But later, I tested it a few more times.
For example, let Regulus attack the Iron Birch with all his strength again.
This time, the result was as expected.
The Iron Birch only had a hole punched in it.
It was far less powerful than before.
So, the power of the magic that he cast was indeed decreasing.
But, why?
There was no reason?
The steps I used to make the Lich’s assistant were strictly according to the [ Training Notes ]! There was no mistake, and if there was, the lich assistant transformation ritual wouldn’t have been successful. Neither would Regulus, who was still standing here unharmed.
So, what exactly was the problem?
Just as I was thinking about whether there was a problem in the process of creating it. A memory image suddenly appeared in my mind.
I held Regulus’s head and smashed it against the ground.
Finally, a crack appeared.
I followed the crack and ate half of his brain…
Thinking of this, I finally understood why regurgitated’s magic was getting weaker and weaker.
I ate his brain when I first came to this world.
And the brain was very important to a magician. It could gather spiritual power and use it to cast spells.
Now that I thought about it, I was lucky to be able to make Regulus into a Lich’s assistant.
Even without most of the brain, I was still able to succeed…
I was starting to admire my luck.
But before I could be happy for a while, there was a problem.
Regulus’ head was injured, and he was unable to gather energy, causing the power of the spells he cast to become smaller and smaller.
This problem needed to be solved.
Otherwise, Regulus, the Lich’s assistant undead, would be useless.
His head was injured…
He lacked energy…
After pondering for a while, I suddenly thought of something.
Since Regulus lacked energy, then I should think of a way to add a few ‘batteries’ to replenish his energy!
With this thought in mind, I immediately began to search through my memories for the [ Records of the Nolan Continent ], [ Necromancer, Research Notes ] … These materials.
Finally, after nearly three hours of searching, I discovered that there was something recorded in the records of the Nolan continent that could be used as a source of energy.
It was very consistent with the idea of adding a few ‘batteries’ for Regulus.
Magic Crystal Stones.
A type of ore that contained a lot of energy. It was used by many mages as the energy core to operate the magic array.
It was extremely rare and kept its value.
Some mages would even use magicite as a currency to measure the value of their goods.
It contained a lot of energy and was widely circulated in this world.
It was simply a perfect battery template.
Moreover, the most important thing was that there was a magicite ore vein on a nearby Stone Mountain.
It was very easy to verify whether my guess was correct or not.
I would go to the Stone Mountain, get the magicite ore from the ore vein, then come back and install a ‘battery’ for Regulus to obtain the results of the experiment.
Then, should I go to the Stone Mountain Now?
I raised my head and looked at the sky. I realized that it was almost nighttime.
I gave up on the idea of going to the Stone Mountain immediately.
Because these days, there would be something roaring at night in this place.
The noise was very terrifying and ear-piercing.
I didn’t know what it was, but from the knight King’s fearful expression, I knew it must be a very powerful magical creature.
So these days, I began to gradually reduce the number of times and time I went out at night.
Every time I needed to go out at night, I would come back very quickly.
Seeing that I couldn’t go out, I took the opportunity to return to my room, lay down on my bed, and began meditating.
…The next morning.
“Last night, that thing was roaring again. It almost scared me to death from my meditative state.”
I looked into the depths of the forest and muttered a few words.
I wanted to see what the thing that had been roaring in the night for the past few days was.
After hesitating for a while, I still didn’t have the courage to go in and take a look.
After all, a magical creature that could make even an undead like the knight King Feel Fear was definitely very powerful. At the very least, the current me wouldn’t be able to deal with it.
Then, I remembered that I still had a mission and needed to get the magic crystal stones from the nearby Stone Mountain.
I gave up on the idea of investigating and immediately rode on the Knight king beside me.
I rushed towards the Stone Mountain not far away.
Along the way, it was very peaceful. I didn’t encounter any trouble.
In addition, the weather today wasn’t bad.
Even rare birds that were rarely seen had started to appear.
“Screech—”
In the distant sky, there was even a goshawk hovering in the sky. It looked really happy.
Looking at the eagle hovering freely in the sky, my mood became much better.
“Hu—”
“Pu—”
Just as I was admiring the graceful flying posture of the eagle, a gust of wind suddenly woke me up.
Then, I saw that the eagle that was originally flying freely in the sky also suddenly fell straight towards the ground.
? ? ?
I immediately looked at the place where the Eagle Fell and wanted to know what had happened.
Suddenly, a green hand reached out and picked up the eagle that had fallen to the ground and turned into meat paste.
A small gray dwarf with pointy ears, thin arms, and thin legs appeared in front of me.
I wiped my eyes and carefully looked at this guy who had suddenly appeared.
This…
Isn’t this a Goblin?
How did it change from emerald green to this earth-gray color?
Moreover, it became so powerful.
It used a rock to smash down an eagle that was 70 to 80 meters high in the sky?
Seeing this strange ‘goblin’, it happened to be standing on the Stone Mountain that I had come to.
I hurriedly began to search through my memories of the Nolan continent, trying to find out what species this was.
After searching for a long time, I finally found information about this guy.
This guy’s name was Mountain Goblin.
He liked to hunt by throwing stones.
He was very strong and could even use stones to crush wild boars and other large animals to death.
Moreover, the most important thing was that this guy was a social species.
The number of a species could range from tens to tens of thousands.
Seeing this, I knew that it wouldn’t be so easy for me to take the crystal stones on this trip.
