Now that everything is ready, Richard decided to strike while the iron is hot and start making the blood and bone puppet now.
He opened the huge wooden box, skillfully sorted the ogre skeletons into categories, and arranged them on the ground in a fixed order.
Then start the first step, grinding and making blood ink, and then according to the production drawings, engrave different witchcraft runes on each bone part one by one.
Each of these runes has its own effect, but after the bones are assembled together, the runes will be connected to each other to form an overall effect.
Therefore, this job requires extreme patience and carefulness.
However, this job would take an ordinary puppeteer at least three days, but Richard completed it in just forty minutes.
There was not a single mistake made during the process, which saved a lot of time.
The second step is to draw energy channels on the inside of the ribs, inside the spine, and inside the brain.
Although the blood-bone puppet is special and does not require the installation of a primary control core, the energy core still needs to be installed.
Basically, this energy source can be understood as adding a power device to undead creatures. Although undead creatures can move on their own, this energy device is considered an auxiliary power source, which can greatly enhance the speed of undead creatures in combat.
Of course, the true body of the Blood Bone Puppet is not an ordinary fragile low-level undead summoned creature, but a powerful skeleton warrior called Bone Demon, which needs to be completed in the third step.
Soon, as the energy core was installed, Richard completed the second step smoothly.
At this time, the installed energy core prismatic slot can be used to place magic stones.
Ordinary combat puppets can use high-level magic stones, but for this blood-bone puppet, the best choice is to use magic crystals, an energy source that contains higher energy than high-level magic stones.
Unfortunately, Richard currently has no magic crystals on hand, so he can only use a high-level magic stone.
However, this will slightly reduce the combat effectiveness and burst duration of the Blood Bone Puppet.
The next step is the third step, which is also the step that many gray dwarf puppet masters cannot figure out no matter how hard they rack their brains and are stuck.
The key to this third step lies in two necromancy techniques: necromancy plus the bone demon reincarnation ritual!
Richard rearranged the bones and formed them into an ogre skeleton, and drew a bone demon reincarnation magic array underneath. As Richard chanted in a low voice, the dark element energy in the air exploded, and the entire alchemy room was filled with a chilly atmosphere.
With the coordination of necromancy and witch formation, it instantly attracted the attention of many souls in the world of the dead.
After spending quite a while, Richard finally selected an equally rare ogre soul. A dazzling green light flashed, and the ceremony ended! At this moment, a special aura began to flourish on the ogre skeleton like a seedling sprouting in spring.
The originally empty eye sockets in the skull were now burning with two balls of deep green soul fire.
As the sound of bones rubbing against each other was heard, the three-meter-tall ogre skeleton slowly stood up. One-meter-long bone blades extended from its shoulder blades and elbows, and the white bone blades flashed with cold light.
A cold, bloodthirsty aura permeated his entire body.
Richard nodded with satisfaction. Judging from the aura, he knew that the blood-bone puppet he made had extraordinary combat power.
Although he also wanted to see the fighting power of the blood-bone puppet, he had several things to deal with immediately - two days later.
Inside Richard's villa.
All the paths were kept exceptionally clean, and from the entrance all the way to the dining hall, they were all covered with fine plush carpets.
The dining hall on the first floor is decorated exceptionally gorgeously.
Pots of cold dishes and fruits were placed on the long wooden dining table, and flowers were dotted almost everywhere around the hall.
At first, Richard was thinking about preparing some special dishes from his previous life for his upcoming wizard friends to taste.
But the incident at the Nightmare Church two days ago made him no longer interested in this.
In the past two days, he almost went straight into the alchemy room and never came out.
“Boom boom boom!”
There was a rhythmic knock on the door.
"Master, Lord Alehan and Ms. Fana have just arrived." Fingate reported respectfully outside the door.
Richard didn't even raise his head and replied, "I see. Let Diesel entertain me first. I'll be there soon."
That’s right, today is the time for the wizard gathering agreed upon by Richard and Disol, and the venue is set in the villa that Richard newly purchased.
At the same time, this gathering is also a small auction to sell shares of the Beer Chamber of Commerce.
But Richard is still in the alchemy room, improving a potion - the Purifying Potion.
The last time Richard was at a party at Fana's mansion, he heard Fana and Angeles discussing some ideas about improving the Qingling potion.
The main idea is to replace some of the raw materials of the Qingling potion to obtain a more effective Qingling potion.
Intuitively, Richard thought that Fana's last suggestion of replacing the honeysuckle in the Qingling potion with water hyacinth was quite feasible.
So, after making the blood-bone puppet, the next day, Richard devoted himself to the work of improving the Qingling potion.
It’s not that he wanted to show off or prove anything in front of Fana and Angeles.
It was because of the efficacy of the Qingling Potion! After many experiments in the dream this time, Richard did find that there was room for improvement in the Qingling Potion.
By simply adjusting the main ingredient of honeysuckle without adjusting other ingredients, the overall efficacy can be improved by about 12%, although this adjustment has other side effects.
Richard was seen shaking the light green liquid at a constant speed in a large beaker, and slowly pouring a few drops of red liquid from a long-necked glass bottle nearby, stirring it continuously.
While stirring, Richard looked serious, constantly observing the reaction effect of the dosage.
When the light green liquid in the beaker slowly turned into milky white, Richard immediately stopped pouring from the long-necked glass bottle.
Richard turned around and took out an oil paper bag from the second laboratory table behind him. He poured a little of the white crystals out of it and weighed it on the balance.
At this moment, Richard's movements were extremely neat, swift and precise. After a few moves, he got the required amount.
Richard poured a fixed amount of powder into the beaker.
“Shhh!!”
A reaction sound was heard and white smoke instantly rose up with an extremely pungent smell.
Richard chanted the spell quickly, quickly gathering the dark element energy in the large beaker and carrying out the final step. After a while, when Richard saw the situation in the beaker again, a hint of joy appeared on his face.
I saw that the liquid in the beaker had changed from milky white to completely transparent.
It seems that I have found the best raw material ratio for the improved version of Qingling potion after replacing honeysuckle with water hyacinth.
Wait, you can give it directly to Fana.
However, for Richard, this improved version of the Qingling Potion is far from the end.
Therefore, he had to replace the different ingredients in the Qingling potion one by one from the perspective of dosage, activity, etc., and iterate continuously.
Based on the perspective of the strongest effect, the most effective refreshing potion is prepared.
As for side effects, as long as they are not that serious, you can put them on hold.
But now, Richard still needs to stop for a while and attend the wizard salon organized by his family.
When Richard walked into the hall of the villa, most of the invited wizards had already arrived. When they saw Richard, they all greeted him.
The way they looked at Richard today was a little different from before, especially after they tasted the new rye beer just now.
With this refreshing and sweet taste, even a fool would know that this beer will be a big hit after drinking it.
In this case, the new rye beer is a hen that lays golden eggs! Although today's gathering is nominally a wizard salon, Desor has already told them privately that one of the important contents is a small auction for the equity of the new beer.
In fact, these wizards who were invited here were able to benefit from the fact that Richard had no familiar friends in Tug City.
Therefore, Richard finally adopted this form of small auction among acquaintances.
The wizards who had originally been indifferent also became interested in equity after drinking the new beer.
After all, no wizard would think that he has too many ways to earn magic stones.
For wizards, various side jobs, such as alchemy, puppetry, explosives, etc., are all big consumers of magic stones.
Therefore, wizards will only complain that they do not have enough magic stones!
Some ancient books from long ago record that ancient wizards were even more greedy for money than dragons, and there is some truth to this.
Greed is the original sin, but it is also the driving force that drives wizards to keep improving and grab more wealth!
At this time, Alehan came up and said kindly:
"Master Levi, I saw that you posted a task in the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood. It seems that you want to find an inscription master to repair a low-level magic weapon in your hand."
"Yes, Lord Alehan, that's true." Richard nodded.
I took on this task myself two days ago, after the incident at the Nightmare Church.
As the deputy director of the Alchemy Department of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood, Alehan was well-informed, so it was not surprising that he knew this.
However, the other party mentioned this to me before the salon officially started, and his intention was obviously not that simple.
"Master Levi, in the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood, Inscription Masters are extremely rare and their daily schedules are quite full. I believe that if they want to accept the mission of a master, it will probably take at least one or two months."
"However, I happen to be familiar with an inscription master, and I have helped him with an important favor before. I believe that he can help you, Master Levi, repair the broken magic weapon as soon as possible."
Alehan spoke with a smile on his face.
"Oh, this is rare!" This made Richard happy.
He had just arrived in Tuge City, and he was not familiar with many well-known masters in many fields. Many masters who devoted themselves to studying in their fields had strange tempers, and some were difficult to communicate with.
Richard naturally felt bad for rashly going straight to the door to seek a deal.
Since Alehan has this channel, it would be the best.
However, just when Richard was about to reply to Alehan.
The petite Ms. Fana walked up to Richard: "Master Levi, about" - in the secret valley far away from the city of Tug.
Nicol, dressed in a black robe, was laughing loudly, and the pair of black horns on his head seemed to be getting thicker and bigger, as if they were about to pierce through the void.
"That idiot Edmundo is finally dead. The remaining followers of the Nightmare Church in Tug City were also caught by the Tug City Guards and all hanged."
"This is really great! Without these stupid allies, we can take action after some time, once the situation calms down, Grace."
However, Grace's face darkened and she shook her head slightly and said, "Nicole, maybe Irene and I have to go back."
Half a month ago, after the mistress received the news that their mission had failed, she sent a message saying that someone would soon replace them to complete the task.
But what puzzled Grace was that, after waiting for half a month, according to the time, their replacements should have arrived a long time ago, but why no one contacted them?
By the way, in the content of the message, the mistress mentioned that the one who replaced them was Samaresh, the leader of the Demon Spider Knights.
An extremely powerful night elf male.
You know, among the night elves, women account for more than 90% of those who have reached the level of formal wizards.
But Samaresh is one of those rare ones.
There are rumors that the other party is one of the mistress's lovers.
According to Grace's own understanding, this news seems to be true!
As the leader of the Demon Spider Knights, Samaresh's strength is even greater than hers.
"Oh, then you don't have to complete your mission?" Contrary to her usual style, Nicole's face did not show any displeasure because of Grace's refusal.
"Nicole, the mistress has already sent someone to replace Irene and me, and the other side should be able to resist immediately. So, this matter..."
"Oh, are you waiting for him?" Suddenly, Nicole laughed playfully.
The arc of its mouth is so big that it can almost fit a person's head in it. It looks extremely scary and creepy!
Nicol walked to the side and took out a bloody head from a dark wooden box ! The head had a hideous look and it was hard to tell its original appearance, but the pointed ears proved without a doubt that it was a night elf's head.
Grace and Irene took a closer look and were horrified to find that it was the head of the leader of the Spider Knights, Samaresh! They turned pale and looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
"Oh my God! Goddess Rose! Nicole, what on earth did you do!"
"When did you peek at the secret letter we reported to the mistress?" Grace was shocked and angry.
"No! No! That's not called peeking. All the information spread out here is transparent to me."
"Even if I don't want to see it myself, the believers will report it to me. It's not my fault!"
"And Grace, you've already asked for my help, so you have to trust me. I can help you complete the task."
"As for him, I smell the disgusting scent of Benita Price on him!" Nicole began waving his thick arms and roared angrily.
"Then he has no choice but to die!"
“By the way, maybe, after I sacrifice his body to the great Jade Fire King later, I can get a small reward, hahahaha!”
Looking at Nicole's increasingly neurotic smile, Grace finally realized that asking Nicole for help seemed to be a completely wrong thing to do.
Now, with the death of Samaresh, their way back to their family was completely blocked! Perhaps the only way was to find a way to complete the mission.
If successful, there might be a glimmer of hope after returning.
Otherwise, if the two of them went back now, the mistress's wrath would surely burn them to death!
