Richard brought the transformed Hateful Spirit with him and came to the garden with Stephanie.

“Wow!!”

The vengeful spirit opened its mouth in hatred, and a bulge on its neck suddenly grew larger and then suddenly shrank. The contraction force was transformed into a jet force, and a light blue high-pressure water column as thick as a bowl rushed straight towards Stephanie who was not far away.

As the light blue water column shot out, a fishy smell filled the surroundings.

However, the evil spirit seemed to intentionally control the angle of the spray. Richard could sense that even if Stephanie did not dodge, it would not spray directly onto Stephanie, but onto the ground one meter in front of Stephanie.

As Richard's strength increased, he felt that the evil spirit abomination was becoming smarter and smarter. For example, now it could understand that this was just a competition, not a formal battle.

Stephanie didn't panic at all. Instead, she smiled gently on her charming face. Then she gradually became blurred and turned into a gray shadow, which was not clear.

The evil spirit's hateful little eye bones showed a hint of doubt. It could see Stephanie's faint shadow there.

But its perception told it that there was no one there.

This contrast seemed to confuse and surprise it.

Suddenly, a large amount of light blue liquid poured onto the lawn without any obstruction.

Large patches of green grass made a "hissing" corrosion sound and suddenly became withered and brown.

After the three venomous spittings of the vengeful spirit were all completed.

Richard nodded slightly, the transformation was very successful!

Both the attack distance and power of the sprayed water column achieved the expected goals.

With the addition of this group attack capability, the combat effectiveness of the Wraith Abomination becomes more comprehensive.

Now, even if there are no evil spirits or vengeful spirits in the secret space in his abdomen, Richard's abomination is no longer a purely physical attack summon, but has a certain ranged attack capability. - Two days later.

The study in Fana Villa.

Richard was reading a thick book. The book was about rune forging. Richard had always been interested in rune forging and was reading it with great interest.

"Knock knock knock!" There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

"Master, the chief steward Fritz of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood is here to visit." A familiar voice of Fingart came from outside the door.

"Hey, why is Fritz here? Could it be that the mutant summoning staff that I gave him before has been repaired?" Richard couldn't help but wonder after hearing Fingart's report.

However, when Fritz walked into the study, Richard saw his expression and instantly realized that what he brought was probably not good news.

"Master Levi, I'm so sorry. According to my friend, the array patterns in your magic weapon are rare undead array patterns. He is not familiar with them, so he is unable to help you repair them!"

Although Richard had expected this, he still felt disappointed when he heard the result.

"Butler Fritz, it's okay. I just wanted to give it a try. Thank you very much for your help."

"Master Levi, I'm so sorry I couldn't help!"

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Fritz left immediately because he had other things to do.

Richard couldn't help but look at the mutated summoning staff in his hand with a little melancholy, gently stroking the crooked vine, and sighed: "It seems that I have to wait until I return to the school before I have a chance to find someone to repair this magical weapon."

"The probability of finding a rune master who is proficient in undead arrays in the gray dwarf area is really too low."

Richard shook his head helplessly.

"Moreover, it is very difficult to find subsequent witchcraft models of the Undead System in the Underdark. After I became a formal wizard, I had almost no channels to learn other first-level Undead System witchcraft except for the Innate Witchcraft."

Richard's thoughts wandered when he thought about returning to the school.

At this time, Stephanie opened the door gently and came in. Seeing Richard frowning and sitting quietly behind the desk in a daze, she couldn't help but ask with concern:

"Master, what's wrong? You look unhappy." Stephanie walked to Richard's side, stretched out her slender fingers, and slowly kneaded Richard's shoulders.

Suddenly, a feeling of comfort spread throughout Richard's body from the massaged area.

Richard half-closed his eyes, adjusted his sitting posture comfortably, thought for a moment, and said:

"Stephanie, do you think we should go back to the surface?"

Hearing Richard say this, Stephanie's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something, and she opened her red lips slightly:

"Returning to the school? Of course! Although the city of Tug is good and the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood also values ​​the master very much, this is not the Ignis School after all."

"The master is learning necromancy. There are very few related witchcraft models here. If he stays here for too long, I'm afraid it will hinder the master's future path as a wizard."

Upon hearing this, Richard couldn't help but gently pat Stephanie's little hand that was kneading his shoulder.

What Stephanie said just now was all from his perspective, which made Richard a little moved.

At this time, Stephana continued, "Master, if we return to the surface, I would like to invite you to my home."

Richard raised his eyebrows, but did not ask Stephanie why he wanted to go to the Knight family. Instead, he remembered that the Knight family to which Stephanie belonged seemed to be in the imperial capital of the Heron Kingdom. To be honest, he seemed to have never been there.

"Stephana, your family is in the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Heron, right?"

"Yes, master. Have you ever been to Pentos, the city of griffins?" When Stephania talked about her hometown, her eyes lit up slightly, as if she was recalling something.

Richard shook his head. The word "imperial capital" instantly reminded him of that cold and petite figure. He didn't know how she was doing now.

"Griffin City? What a great name!"

Seeing Richard lost in his memories, Stephanie did not continue to ask questions or interrupt him, but stood quietly behind Richard.

Suddenly, the whole room was silent.

Suddenly, Richard seemed to smell a faint fishy smell. How to describe this smell? It was like the smell of leaves falling down, piling up on the ground, and slowly rotting.

The next second, Richard's pupils suddenly contracted and his eyes stared at the door.

The door to the study was tightly closed, but at this moment, a pool of black water appeared on the ground for no reason.

The black water was as black as ink, shiny black! "Could it have come in from the gap under the door?" Just as Richard was still wondering how the black water flowed into the room.

This pool of black water actually began to rise and deform slowly, like a living thing. "Ah! Master, what is this?" Stephanie exclaimed.

Although Stephanie was horrified by this sudden change, she took a step forward from behind Richard without hesitation and became alert.

The pool of black water was like a piece of plasticine. After a series of changes in shape, it turned into a mysterious man wearing a black robe and a hood.

"The mirror is on you, right?" the other party suddenly spoke, his voice deep and rich, as if a giant was speaking.

Richard had already cast the magic armor technique at this time, and his entire body was covered with hideous black bone armor. When he heard the mysterious man transformed by black water suddenly mention the Nightmare Mirror, he couldn't help but be shocked.

The other party's strange methods made Richard highly alert.

"Mirror? I don't know what you are talking about! Who are you?" Richard said calmly.

"You don't need to know who I am. I came here this time just to tell you that if you hand over the mirror, I can let you go." The other party's low voice sounded again.

"I don't have what you want." Richard shook his head in denial.

"Haha, very good, we will meet again later. Now, I will give you a small gift. I hope you will like it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black robe melted into a pool of black water again with a splash.

Just as Richard and Stephanie looked at each other, still wondering what the small gift the other was talking about was.

Suddenly, the pool of black water began to evaporate, as if there was a raging fire burning underneath the black water, providing it with huge heat energy, instantly evaporating the black water into black smoke.

Stephanie took one look and thought to herself, "Not good!" Although she didn't know what special effects the black smoke had, she and Richard definitely shouldn't stay in this closed room for long.

She grabbed the hem of Richard's robe with one hand and immediately performed Shadow Transformation.

In an instant, when the black smoke spread to the two of them, Stephanie and Richard had already stepped into the shadow world.

In less than two seconds, she and Richard walked from the study to the corridor.

With one step forward, the two figures once again changed from phantoms to entities.

At this time, a series of sounds including "hissing", "puffing", and "clicking" were heard from the study, accompanied by a fishy smell, which was rushing out from the crack in the door.

Before Richard could use the Shadow Grip to open the door, he saw the red wooden door of the study suddenly collapsed, and the door panel on the inside had turned completely black and was full of pits and holes caused by corrosion.

However, there was not much black mist left in the study. It seemed that this black mist would consume a lot of energy in the process of corrosion.

Not long after, when the black mist dissipated, the two men focused their attention on the study again.

At this moment, the entire study was like being baptized by the surging and hot magma erupted by a volcano. Almost all the furniture inside could not recognize its original appearance. Only large items such as desks and soft leather chairs still barely maintained a certain external outline and could be vaguely recognized.

Small items such as books and quill pens have long been completely corroded and disappeared.

"Master, this black smoke is so corrosive!" Stephanie said in surprise.

The scene before her made Stephanie think of the master's hatred for the newly transformed ability, spitting venom.

The power of the two is almost equal.

Richard nodded solemnly, the other party was trying to intimidate him.

Just a pool of strange black water can cause such destructive power, which is enough to infer that the person behind the scene must be extremely powerful.

However, what worries Richard the most is the other party's strange and unpredictable abilities.

The other party knew that after receiving this warning, he would definitely step up his vigilance and even hire more guards. However, seeing how fearless he was, it seemed that these would not have much effect on him.

"Stephanie, find Fana immediately and tell her what just happened. Also, have Fingart step up his alert."

"Okay, Master." Stephanie bowed slightly and left immediately.

Richard was alone, lost in thought.

It seems that the Mirror of Nightmare is more important than he had expected. At least it seems to have special significance for the night elves.

Otherwise, an intermediate magical weapon would not have required such a big fuss and sending wave after wave of experts.

Unfortunately, even though Stephanie has become a formal wizard, her use of this magical weapon is limited to activation.

The use of the Nightmare Mirror, in addition to requiring the bloodline of the Spider Woman, should also have certain requirements on the user's strength. It seems that only a high-level level one can barely drive it.

Thinking of this, Richard returned to his bedroom and took out the black mirror from a box.

Richard had thought about destroying the bloodline detection magic array of the Nightmare Mirror before. In that case, this powerful Nightmare Mirror could be used naturally, but later it was delayed due to various things. ——A farm near Tug City.

The whole farm was in an eerie silence.

All the people in the farm, even the livestock and poultry, were now lying on the cold ground, seemingly fast asleep.

However, everyone's expressions were very strange. Some people's eyeballs were rolling around under their eyelids, as if they were terrified. Some people had strange smiles on their faces, as if they had encountered something good in their dreams. Some people In the basement wine cellar of this farm.

A black-robed man of normal height was talking to a giant humanoid creature that was over four meters tall and half lying down.

It was Mobutu and Matisse.

Yesterday, Mattis arranged for the horned lizard to pull the disguised Mobutu to a farm very close to the city of Tug.

"Mr. Mobutu, wasn't your action just now a bit too high-profile?" Mattis asked on the side.

Just now, he saw all the scenes that happened in Richard's study through a mirror made of black mist hanging in the air.

If he were Mobutu, he would definitely not choose to alert the enemy, but would sneak in secretly.

Mattis did not understand Mobutu's intention.

Mobutu glanced at Mattis with disdain, and instead of explaining the question, he said, “Mattis, are you teaching me how to do things?”

"Of course not, I just think there may be a better way to achieve our goals," Mattis said immediately.

One of the tentacles under Mobutu's octopus head suddenly waved.

The scene in the black mist in the air suddenly changed and instantly switched to Richard's bedroom.

Mathis could clearly see Richard holding the Nightmare Mirror at this moment.

This immediately made Matisse very happy. He didn't expect that Mobutu had such a delicate mind under his rough appearance.
