Witcher starts with Get Inspiration Panel

Richard frowned and fell into deep thought.

There is only one prompt, which obviously means it is not the monsters he killed in the nightmare.

Otherwise, it should be like a waterfall swiping the screen, at least hundreds of them, with a total of more than 80,000 energy points.

Then the source of this energy point is...

It can only be what the so-called priest of the Nightmare Church provided after his death!

It's that man in black robe!

But how could the other party provide energy points to the inspiration panel?

All along, I thought that I could only obtain energy points by killing monsters.

It has been proven before that you will not gain energy points by killing night elves.

Why was it that this time, after this weird Nightmare Church priest was killed, he was able to gain energy points?

Richard couldn't figure out the reason for a while.

After returning to the room with Stephana in his arms, Richard found that Stephana was breathing evenly, but her originally fair forehead was a little red and swollen, possibly due to the heavy blow to her head that caused her dizziness.

After letting her lie on the bed and have a good rest, Richard began to think about a question. The witchcraft performed by the man in black robes was still fresh in his memory.

Although I don't know the name of the weird witchcraft cast by the other party, I can roughly summarize its effects.

It seems that as long as you are contaminated by the dark green mist, you will be pulled into the nightmare in an instant.

Nightmares are not dreams.

All the damage suffered in the nightmare will eventually manifest itself in reality.

Therefore, he must have adopted the correct response by mistake just now. After killing all the monsters in the nightmare, he successfully walked out of the nightmare and returned to reality.

No, not necessarily, Richard shook his head.

It may also be that the energy of the dark green mist is exhausted, so he can return to reality from the nightmare. If the energy is not exhausted, he may still be in the nightmare, constantly fighting monsters.

Whatever the explanation.

Those gray dwarf city guards obviously did not hold on in the nightmare and sank.

In other words, he was killed by a monster in the nightmare, so he died immediately in reality.

Just a dark green mist can easily take away more than ten wizard apprentice level patrols and almost kill me, a first-level official wizard.

This kind of witchcraft is so weird!

From this point of view, the human sea tactic should be meaningless to the Nightmare Church. It will only be easily swept by the opponent and drag everyone into the nightmare, resulting in the death of a large number of people and becoming the opponent's sacrifice to the evil god. tribute.

Of course, the above are just my own guesses, although Richard believes that these should be very close to the facts.

But a guess is still a guess, and it's best to have something to back it up.

Richard decided that after Stephana woke up, he would immediately go to the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood to inquire about the records of the Nightmare Church.

"Dong dong dong!"

There was a rapid knock on the door.

"Master, I heard that you were attacked by the Nightmare Church. Are you okay?" It was Gorkan's voice.

Richard felt relieved and stepped forward to open the door.

Seeing that Richard was safe and sound, Gorkan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master, you're fine."

Richard waved his hand and said, "You're here just in time. Stephana wants you to take care of her. I'll go to the headquarters of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood to understand the situation."

"As you command, my master!"

After that, Richard turned and left the room.

At this time, Stephana suddenly let out a cry, her eyelashes moved slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

However, when she saw Richard, her face was slightly frightened and she said, "Master, you, have you recovered?"

Richard raised his eyebrows and asked in a slightly surprised tone: "Hey! Stephanna, did you say that I just attacked you?"

Stephana's tone just now made Richard react in an instant. The other person looked at him with a weird expression, and it was obvious that the problem was with him.

Based on the original relationship between the two of them, Stephana always looked affectionate when seeing her, and it was absolutely impossible to be frightened.

Stephana let out a long breath, looked relieved, and said with a smile: "Master, you were so terrible just now. You attacked the surrounding flowers and trees crazily in the garden. As soon as I came over, I was beaten twice by the master. Passed out!"

Richard also realized that his situation was obviously due to the strange witchcraft.

He immediately stopped wasting time and comforted:

"Stephanna, you have a good rest first. I'll go to the headquarters of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood and I'll be back soon."

——

Headquarters of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood.

When Richard walked into the hall, he saw the wizards and apprentices who were usually smiling, but now many of them had serious expressions.

Many people were whispering in the hall, seemingly discussing terms such as "nightmare" and "death count".

Come to think of it, they also knew about the battle that had just occurred in Tuge City. It seemed that the death toll was quite large and the impact was widespread. It spread so quickly.

Also, this kind of news involving cults may still be blocked among civilians.

But this happened under the eyes of the wizards, and as a powerful class, it was impossible to keep this kind of news from the wizards.

It is estimated that within a day, most of the wizards in Tuge City will know about this unexpected incident.

Without stopping, Richard went directly to the information room on the second floor and began to look up relevant information about the Nightmare Church.

There is not much information about the Church of Nightmare. Many of them are extremely old books, each of which is almost thicker than a modern Chinese dictionary. The cover is made of unknown animal skin and decorated with copper sheets.

Richard picked up the thickest book and flipped through it quickly.

"The Church of Nightmares is a widespread cult that worships Il'gynos, the god of nightmares."

".The entire organizational structure is divided into bishops, priests, deacons and ordinary believers. After causing many horrific tragedies, it was designated as a cult by the major intelligent races in the Dark Region more than two thousand years ago and was destroyed."

"."

I closed the thick book and read several other books in succession. The basic contents were similar.

This made Richard slowly think about it. Basically, the Nightmare Church began to disappear from the time it was included in the cult's siege. Unexpectedly, it started to reappear gradually now.

This is not a good sign!

There are many books on the Nightmare Church that provide general introductions in the data room, but the specific content of witchcraft performed by members of the other party is unclear, and most of them are at the level of ordinary believers, with little reference value.

There are only one or two books describing the sacrifices of the Nightmare Church.

One of them mentioned that the witchcraft performed by the other party was that the dark green mist seemed to be called the coming of nightmares.

It can be aimed at a single person, such as the dark green mist that attacks oneself, or it can be targeted at groups, such as the large dark green mist encountered by the group of city guards.

The ancient gray dwarf wizards classified the opponent's witchcraft as evil energy or called magic witchcraft.

Of course, the translations of the languages ​​of different races are slightly different. The Hittite language calls it magic witchcraft, while the Akkadian language calls it fel witchcraft. The meanings are basically the same. The energy sources of these witchcraft come from aliens. The power of the evil god of the world.

For cultists, this is the so-called evil god's gift or evil god's reward.

Obviously, only cultists who deeply believe in the other party can use it!

This completely frustrated Richard's desire to learn this witchcraft.

but

There are similar witchcrafts in spiritual witchcraft, such as sleeping spells, dream shrouds, illusions coming, etc.

There was also a sentence mentioned in that ancient book that left a particularly deep impression on Richard: the witchcraft of nightmare coming, as long as the spiritual power of the cultist's caster is higher than that of the enemy, he can forcibly pull himself into the nightmare.

It can be said to be a model of using high to defeat low.

Basically, those whose mental power is not as good as the sacrifices of the Nightmare Church will be easily taken away in a wave.

This gave Richard a deep sense of crisis.

"It seems that I have to speed up the pace again."

"Fortunately, I have gained more than 80,000 energy points now."

"And, soon, I will receive a large sum of magic stones."

"So many things can be done now."

An hour later, Richard arrived on the first floor.

In addition to the reception hall, a large part of the first floor is also divided into a task hall.

Therefore, the first floor hall of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood is also the busiest hall.

"Hello, Master Li Wei, what mission do you want to issue?" A young gray dwarf maid made a "beep" sound, swiped Li Wei's mithril emblem, and said with a sweet smile.

"I want to issue a mission, which is about repairing a low-level magic weapon."

"It's about which type of witchcraft. For example, metal ones generally require the restorer to have the qualification of a rune blacksmith, while for animal furs, the restorer generally requires the restorer to have the qualification of an elemental leatherworker."

"A cane cane."

"Is it a cane cane? Are there any qualification requirements for those who take on the task? If it is a plant-based cane, the general requirement is an inscriptionist with a senior or master-level title. Also, what is your reward?"

"Master level. The reward is 20,000 magic stones." Richard thought for a few seconds.

Although I want to seize the time to find someone to repair it, I cannot lower the quality requirements.

Richard himself is a master of alchemy, so he naturally knows the difference between senior professional titles and master-level professional titles.

In particular, gray dwarves, a relatively honest race, rarely engage in fraud in their skills. They basically hone their skills step by step.

"Okay, Master Levi, I have issued your task. A warm reminder, if you need an inscription master to help you repair it, it may take a long time."

"I understand." Richard nodded, and he also understood this.

But there is currently no other good way.

Among the gray dwarves, the master-level rune blacksmiths are ten times more powerful than the inscription masters.

He also thought about leaving the task for a while. If it didn't work, he might have to trouble Vice President Hawkins and ask him to help him introduce an inscription master.

After a while, compared with the assets in his own hands, it was enough to hire an inscription master at a high price.

After posting the task.

Richard held a curved rattan staff and walked slowly on the way back to his villa with a calm expression.

I saw that the length of this staff was about one meter and four meters, and the curved body of the staff resembled a relatively thick rattan.

The top is thicker, resembling a massive rhizome, and the other end is relatively thin.

This is the Staff of Mutated Summoning!

Considering the recent instability of the situation, Richard did not choose to store the mission item in the mission hall, but chose the second method. That is, after someone takes over the repair mission, the staff of the mission hall will come to Richard again. Take.

The role that the Mutated Summoning Rod can play before Richard is promoted to a formal wizard is self-evident. It allows Richard to leapfrog and summon abominations that can only be summoned by a formal necromancer.

But since Richard was promoted, he has learned the first-level witchcraft of summoning hatred. Apart from improving the success rate of summoning, this low-level witchcraft has no special effect on Richard.

Originally, Richard wanted to throw away the Mutated Summoning Staff.

But one day, Richard had a whim and after studying the runes on the damaged parts of this low-level witchcraft, he discovered that the damaged parts might be quite critical.

You must know that even if it is damaged, the effect of this low-level witchcraft is quite good: if the holder uses this staff to communicate with the world of the dead, the success rate of summoning will be increased. At the same time, the summoned undead creatures will be forcibly converted into an abomination. .

If it could be repaired, the mutant summoning rod in good condition might give him some unexpected surprises.

Richard already had some vague premonitions about this.

After returning to the villa again, Richard went to visit Stephanie and made sure that she was fine.

Richard came to the alchemy room on the second underground floor alone.

Originally, he wanted to sell some of his shares in rye beer and then buy official wizard-level monsters for him to kill so that he could accumulate a lot of energy points.

But now it seems that he can start making blood and bone puppets in advance.

No longer hesitate!

[It was found that the host was learning to make blood and bone puppets. Did/do you consume energy to get inspiration for making blood and bone puppets? 】

For this kind of advanced puppet production, which is extremely difficult, it will inevitably require a large amount of energy points to be improved.

So without hesitation, Richard dragged the slider to 30,000 and selected "Yes!"

After a sudden spin, Richard's soul came to the dream space. It was still an environment similar to an alchemy room. There was a thick white skeleton on the ground in the center of the room, which was the skeleton of an ogre.

There is also a blurry figure, who is bending over the skeleton to check something.

In an instant, Richard was possessed by the figure.

After many improvements, Richard looked at the [Skill]: Blood and Bone Puppet Making (Extreme) on the inspiration panel with a satisfied smile.

But when Richard saw that there were only more than 5,000 energy points left at the bottom of the panel, he smiled bitterly again.

I thought that more than 80,000 energy points would be enough for me to use for a while.

I didn’t expect that making blood and bone puppets is a huge consumer of energy points!

The energy points consumed to reach the limit are no less than those of ordinary first-level witchcraft.

Thinking about it, Richard can also understand that the blood and bone puppet is a high-level puppet after all, and that's where the difficulty lies in making it.

Moreover, he had just upgraded the two witchcrafts that matched the blood and bone puppet, spiritualism and bone demon reincarnation ritual to the extreme level.

That's why so many energy points are consumed at once.

With experience in making blood-bone puppets at the extreme level, Richard was confident that he could make almost perfect use of the ogre skeleton on hand to create a blood-bone puppet with combat power at least equivalent to that of a high-level first-level creature.

You must know that Richard's current mental power is only at the level of the first level of the first level (atomization 27%). The puppet he created can compete with the first level of high level wizards, which is already rare.

Generally speaking, this situation only exists for gray dwarf puppet masters who are hundreds of years old.

They are busy studying puppetry, and their own cultivation is only at the middle or high level of the first level, but the strength of the advanced combat puppets they make is one or two levels higher than themselves, and they can even make second-level combat puppets. , such as the giant war golem.

If the production experience is only at the proficiency level, it is very likely that the finished product will only be an early stage blood and bone puppet, which is equivalent to the strength of the producer himself.

In addition, the blood-bone puppet is different from other high-level combat puppets in that its combat power is partly linked to the strength of the maker.

As Richard's strength further improves, the blood and bone puppets will also improve simultaneously.

Moreover, after the blood-bone puppet is successfully made, it can also be sent back to the world of the dead to wait for the next call from its master. This is the same as the hatred of the resentful spirits.
