Witcher starts with Get Inspiration Panel

"Master, I carefully searched the database of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood for situations like the current situation where an entire ethnic group has disappeared or been massacred. It matches the above records. All of them were done by cult organizations."

"The following five cults are more suitable, namely the Dark Demon Sect, the Jade Fire Cult, the Resentment Sect, the Broken Heart Sect, and the Nightmare Church. These sects have all slaughtered entire tribes and sacrificed them to evil gods or demons. the behavior of."

"However, according to the records in the gray dwarf classics, whether they are gray dwarves, night elves or other intelligent races in the Underdark, once they encounter a cultist, they will choose to destroy them as soon as possible!"

"So, according to the classics, these sects have long been wiped out in the long river of history. Even if there are some sects that survive with a few followers, it is not a problem at all."

"Is it a cult?" Richard couldn't help but rub his chin with one hand, lost in thought.

This was also a possibility that he had speculated before. After all, no normal intelligent race would kill an ethnic group. Even if it did, there would be traces to follow, such as feuds or something.

But this time it was a series of incidents without any warning.

If it is some cruel beast, it will usually choose to leave after eating, leaving some human lives as the next meal.

Stephana was also stunned when she heard this. She originally planned to leave, but she slowly walked behind Richard, stretched out a pair of white and tender hands, and gently kneaded Richard's shoulders.

Richard was slightly startled, but did not refuse Stephana's service.

Gorkan glanced secretly, pretending not to notice at all, lowering his eyes without squinting.

"Is there anything else?" Richard asked after thinking for a moment.

"There is also news that a patrol team in Tuge City located in the northeast corner of the city and responsible for the safety of multiple lighthouses in that area has all disappeared. Just now, Tuge City sent people to conduct an on-site investigation, but not far away from where they disappeared Some sporadic blood stains were found on the ground.”

"Eh! How dare the other party attack the official forces of Tuge City?" Richard was being squeezed extremely comfortably by Stephana, and his half-closed eyes suddenly opened at this moment.

What Gorkan just said really surprised Richard.

If the other party dares to attack even Tuge City's official patrol team, then the other party must have something to rely on.

Or is it that the other party is well prepared and is about to start making big moves!

The lighthouse patrol team, which Richard and Dissol also encountered on the way from Gray Fern Town to Tuge City, was basically a fully armed team composed of second- and third-level wizard apprentices, with dozens to twelve people in charge. The security of about a dozen lighthouses in an area.

The number of people alone is nearly double the number of wizard apprentices stationed under the lighthouse, responsible for driving away the giant blue-winged moths.

And because it is a team used for dispatch and support, the personnel and configuration are comprehensive, and the combat effectiveness is quite good.

Even if Richard wanted to eliminate such a team, it would take some time and means, and the difficulty would be to prevent these ten people from sending out a message and annihilate the opponent.

From this point, it can be basically proved that the opponent is well-organized. If the opponent is not an elite night elf team that has infiltrated into the gray dwarf area, then the possibility of the opponent being a cult organization is very high.

"Gorkan, do you know the relevant information about the five cults you just mentioned?"

"Of course, Master."

So Gorkan began to briefly introduce these cult organizations, such as the Dark Demon Sect. The entire sect has a clear division of labor and is divided into patriarchs, bishops, priests, deacons and ordinary believers. They believe in the different world of the Dark Demon. of the devil.

There are also sect emblems, typical rituals, the arrival of dark demons, etc.

——

In a hidden valley far away from Tuge City.

The vegetation is lush, and various vines are growing vigorously around the tree trunks, covering the few gaps.

In an extremely dark environment, a group of men in gray robes were closely guarding the surroundings. In the center, there were three figures, one tall, two short.

I saw a tall figure in black robes, pacing back and forth anxiously in the middle of the field, cursing something angrily.

If you listen carefully, you can hear some fragrant words spoken in Night Elf tongue.

"Horses! A bunch of idiots from the Nightmare Church."

"Damn pig beast!"

"."

After the tall figure vented his anger for a while, the shorter figure on the side said:

"Nicole, what happened has happened, what should we do now?"

After a long time, a low reply came from the tall figure: "Grace, just now, the patrol team in Tuge City was killed by those idiots from the Nightmare Church. It seems that we will be dormant for a while!"

"Nicole, we don't have much time left! You promised us to take action immediately." Irene, who was on the side, became anxious when she heard this. She was dissatisfied with Grace for pinning all her hopes on this night elf. on the traitor.

Now it seems that the other party is indeed unreliable, repeatedly pushing back the time for action!

However, Irene hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Whoosh!" A sound broke through the air.

A long and thin object as thick as the mouth of a bowl hit Irene's towering chest hard.

"Snapped!"

Irene snorted, spurted out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards. She was instantly knocked away seven or eight meters. After falling to the ground, she rolled twice more.

The whole person felt as if he had been hit by a wild bull.

Being able to knock a high-level spider woman several meters away showed how powerful the attacker was. Grace took a closer look and realized that the strip just now was the mutated tail behind Nicole.

Nicole snorted coldly and said: "Irene, pay attention to your attitude. Don't think that just because of Grace's plea, you can offend me again and again!"

"This is the second time! If there is a next time, hey, you won't be so lucky."

Nicole's tall and strong body, like a giant, looked down at Irena who fell on the ground, bringing a strong sense of oppression.

Yirenai's pursed lips trembled slightly, her originally slender hands were now tightly clenching the soil on the ground, and her chest was breathing violently, showing her unwillingness and anger!

"Nicole!! You will definitely pay the price one day!!" Irena yelled furiously in her heart.

But the shadow of death made her dare not say these words openly. At this moment, she could only keep it in her heart and hide her resentment deeply!

Even after Nicole approached forcefully, Irene slowly lowered her head. She didn't know whether she didn't dare to look into Nicole's eyes, or because she didn't want the other party to notice the anger of revenge in her eyes.

Grace supported Irene and said helplessly:

"Nicol, you are going too far! But if we have to hibernate for a long time, I'm afraid we really won't have enough time."

"Don't worry, Grace. As long as you listen to me, I will let you get the Nightmare Mirror back. Don't worry."

Facing her former lover, Nicole's tone immediately softened.

——

Tuge City villa area.

Richard was sitting lazily on the soft leather sofa, his fingers tapping the armrests of the sofa rhythmically, while his eyes were looking out the window at the gray garden of his villa.

Such is the day in the underdark, dark as dusk on the earth.

For ordinary humans who do not have the racial talent for dark vision, they can basically only see a distance of more than ten meters clearly during the day.

Since Richard is an official wizard and his physique is far superior to that of ordinary humans, the daytime feeling in the Underdark Region is almost the same as the feeling in the evening on a heavy haze day.

After Richard just listened to Gorkan's description, the sense of urgency in his heart has been slowly increasing.

In the past, the targets of the opponent's attacks were some remote tribes around Tuge City, and it seemed that they did not dare to directly attack the forces in Tuge City.

But this time, judging from the fact that the other party dared to attack an official force like the Tuge City Patrol Team, it seemed that the other party was getting closer and closer to Tuge City.

The fingers that were originally tapping were now gripping the armrest.

It seems that I still have to find a way to quickly improve my strength!

Richard's brain was working rapidly at this moment.

Now his strength is the first level of a first-level wizard, and with the innate witchcraft, he is at most about the same as a middle-level wizard.

If you add in the hatred of resentful spirits and alchemy combination bombs, etc., you can barely reach the high level of a first-level wizard.

But...under this situation, it seems that it is still not enough.

It always feels dangerous

I need to become stronger!

As for the fastest way that Richard can think of to improve his strength, one is to make bloody bone puppets. He already has a preliminary plan for this, and he can implement it immediately after the conditions are met in the past few days.

But this may still not be enough. After all, the blood-bone puppet's combat effectiveness is partly linked to his strength to a certain extent.

With his current strength, even if the blood and bone puppet is made, its combat effectiveness will most likely be at the high level of the first level.

The second way to enhance his strength is to make full use of the "dragon's blood" in his hands.

Because if you can really use the source blood in your hand to stimulate your mental power again, your mental power will be greatly improved.

As a result, the attack power of the natural witchcraft spiritual impact will soar again.

Moreover, the strength of the resentful abominations summoned by oneself will also increase dramatically.

The same will be true for the Blood and Bone Puppet.

This is the case with the Necromancer. After his own strength increases, the strength of his summoned objects will also increase simultaneously.

It seemed that he had to speed up the search for information and find a way to identify what level this source blood was as soon as possible? What biological source of blood?

After that, you can make your next plan.

three days in a row.

Richard stayed at the headquarters much longer than usual.

Part of the time, he was studying the book Intermediate Puppetry. Since Richard already had experience in making phosphorus stone combat puppets at a proficient level, he was able to learn it easily and efficiently under the background of combining theory with practice.

During the other part of the time, Richard was looking up the relevant methods of high-level source blood test.

It is a pity that the knowledge related to source blood beyond the third level is not recorded at all in the data room within the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood.

Richard also asked members of several other large wizard organizations in Tuge City through Gorkan for knowledge about high-level source blood, but he found nothing.

It seems that there is a huge behind-the-scenes hand behind the high-level source blood, which has erased all relevant information and methods.

In the data room, the highest-level knowledge about source blood that can be found is the knowledge about some identification techniques and utilization methods of third-level source blood.

After several days of study, Richard has mastered the identification of first- and second-level source blood.

As for the identification of third-level source blood, Richard has basically understood the principles. At the same time, he also has some ideas for the identification method of higher-level source blood. The next step is to try it in detail.

"Fingart, all used to purchase live, third-level wizard apprentice level monsters." Richard handed Fingart a bag of magic stones.

Although the bag is bulging, most of it contains ordinary magic stones, and there are also a small amount of intermediate magic stones.

This is all the magic stones that Richard currently has on hand, except for daily expenses.

The number of monsters that can be purchased is about the same as last time, only three.

"As you command, Master." Fingart retreated slowly.

In fact, Richard earned magic stones very quickly. Basically every day, he would take on one or two potion making or bomb making tasks in the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood.

The next day, he can get a lot of contribution points and magic stones.

Therefore, for Richard, if the magic stone is used up today, it will come back tomorrow, but not much will come every time.

One is because Richard deliberately hides his clumsiness.

Secondly, it is because he spends most of his time studying and researching.

The alchemy room on the second underground floor.

Over the past few days, Richard had accumulated more than 20,000 energy points by continuously acquiring and killing monsters.

However, this also makes Fingart extremely conspicuous outside. After all, few people purchase live monsters in large quantities like Fingart, and they are all monsters at the level of third-level wizard apprentices.

It's not that Richard doesn't want to acquire higher-level monsters, such as monsters at the official wizard level.

But the price of monsters of this level is at least ten times that of the third-level wizard apprentice level. Currently, because Richard does not want to sell other things in his hands, the lack of magic stones has become his biggest obstacle.

It was not that there were no curious people investigating Fingart, but later investigation revealed that Fingart was originally a servant of Levi, the famous alchemist master in the gray dwarf brotherhood, so there was no doubt.

You know, many potions use monster organs.

Or extract essence from the monster's blood, cerebrospinal fluid, etc.

Of course, the most important thing is that Richard has the title of master alchemist!

Richard called up the inspiration panel [Skill]: Level 3 source blood test witchcraft array (47% entry level)

Now he plans to try whether he can deduce the next-level or higher-level source blood test method by raising the third-level source blood test witchcraft array to the limit.

[It is found that the host is practicing the third-level source blood test witchcraft formation. Do you/do you consume energy to obtain the inspiration of the third-level source blood test witchcraft formation? 】

Without hesitation, Richard dragged the slider to the far right and selected "Yes!"

After a while, Richard's soul came to the dream space. This time he came to an alchemy room with all kinds of utensils. In the center of the room, there was a vague figure bending down and drawing something carefully on the ground.

【Ding! The host has mastered the third-level source blood test witchcraft array to the limit, triggering the design inspiration of the high-level source blood test witchcraft array, and now masters the high-level source blood test witchcraft array (entry 9%)! 】

Richard was surprised and happy!

Unexpectedly, after he was promoted to an official wizard, the intelligence of the inspiration panel seemed to have improved slightly.

He still vaguely remembered that when he was a wizard's apprentice, if he wanted to innovate zero-level witchcraft, the inspiration panel gave him a drop-down menu to choose from.

But now, I rely more on my many attempts and hard work in the dream space.

In the dream space, as long as you try and work hard in a certain direction, after thousands of times, you will make breakthroughs and achievements in that direction.

Of course, the premise is that you have enough relevant knowledge accumulation and energy points.

This is the exact opposite of others!

For most wizards, rich imagination and innovation are the most rare things.

But I have an inspiration panel. For me, the most important thing is to study hard, persevere in the pursuit of knowledge, and accumulate enough knowledge.

The accumulation of knowledge is like firewood, and inspiration is like fire. The more firewood there are, the more intense and scorching the fire will be after the fire is ignited!

As the huge detection witch array painted on the ground flashed with dazzling red light, a huge black double-winged dragon phantom began to appear above the witch array.

Even if it is a shadow, there is a faint sound of dragon roar coming, as if a king is lording over the world, and his momentum is extremely majestic.

"Hiss! It is indeed the blood of the black dragon!"

But it seems that because of the impure blood, the shadow is not lifelike, but slightly blurry.

This can be easily judged from the fact that Richard cannot clearly see the scales on the black dragon's body and the characteristics of its head.

At the same time, there was a very thin shadow of an extraordinary creature lying on all fours on the ground above the giant test witch formation. Because it was so thin, it could only be barely identified as a creature similar to an earth dragon beast.

There is also a lot of black smoke, which keeps roaring and transforming into various extraordinary creatures.

While observing the size, clarity and duration of various shadows, Richard took out a quill and quickly wrote down a line of text:

"Mixed black dragon origin blood (black dragon origin blood accounts for about 68%, some kind of earth dragon beast origin blood accounts for about 29%, and unknown origin blood accounts for about 4%)."

"You must know that the black dragon is a legendary creature. Only extraordinary creatures that have exceeded the third level will be called legendary creatures, that is, the fourth level! This kind of powerful ancient creature has long disappeared in the vast river of history."

"According to records, in the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood's data room, the last black dragon with a clear record was more than two thousand years ago, and it disappeared after a short-lived appearance."

"There are still many wizards diligently searching for traces of these legendary creatures, and many sects have even spawned, such as the famous Dragon Worship Cult."

While Richard was playing with the mixed black dragon blood in his hand, his thoughts were flying, and he thought of many legends about giant dragons in the Underdark.

After being in a daze for a moment, Richard once again turned his attention to the source of blood in his hand.

Although the volume of this source of blood is only about the size of a fingernail, and it is not pure, it is enough for Richard to use.

Richard recalled it, according to a record in the gray dwarf database.

After using the source blood of the second-level earth violent bear to stimulate mental power, a gray dwarf wizard at the first level of the first level was directly promoted to the middle level of the first level. Of course, the residual period of the bloodline was as high as three and a half years.

"Looking at it this way, if I can use this mixed black dragon source blood to successfully stimulate my mental power, my strength will at least be improved to the first level."

"However, we still need to find a way to solve two problems!" Richard sighed.

In fact, if Richard were really given a fist-sized piece of pure black dragon source blood, as the source blood of a legendary creature, it would be at least as frightening as the fourth level, and Richard would be completely unable to use it.

In the current situation, the energy contained in the mixed black dragon blood in Richard's hand is approximately equivalent to the blood of a third-order extraordinary creature.

If Richard could find a way to ignite it and use it to stimulate his own mental power, the effect would be self-evident.

With the support of the inspiration panel, Richard is confident that he will be able to master the third-level witch formation necessary to activate the source blood soon. However, the third-level igniter, the Heart of Flame, is extremely troublesome.

That is the core of the third-level flame extraordinary creature!

I haven't heard yet which wizard organization in Tuge City has this thing.

Indeed!

If the gray dwarf brotherhood's contribution value exchange list cannot be found, other wizard organizations are not as strong as the gray dwarf brotherhood, and there is a high probability that they will not exist.

Although Richard has not met the president of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood, he also knows that the president is only a second-level high-level wizard.

In the scorching environment of the Scorched Earth Secret Realm, he wanted to kill the fire-type extraordinary creature with a strength of up to third level that occupies the right location.

Even if I go to three presidents, I will never come back.

This difficulty.

Tsk tsk!

Just as Richard was thinking.

"Dong dong dong!" There was a strong knocking sound outside the door of the alchemy room on the second underground floor!

This immediately made Richard frown.

What the hell are Fingart and Gorkan doing? They said they shouldn't be disturbed, so how could they still...

"Levi! My brother!"

came a familiar loud voice.

"Hahaha! We've released it! New rye beer, incredibly delicious!!"

Dissol had just rushed into Richard's villa with a roar. When he knew that Richard was in the alchemy room, he rushed down. Fingart and Gorkan could not stop him.

Richard opened the door and saw that it was indeed Dissol, carrying several bottles of beer in black glass.

Come to think of it, this should be the new rye beer.

Looking at Dissol who was in high spirits, Richard also had a smile on his face.

At the same time, I sighed in my heart:

"The magic stone I've been waiting for is finally here!"
