The fat zombie tied into a ball by spider silk was finally killed by Taylor with three fireballs. When the zombie's fat body full of rotten flesh fell down, a pair of invisible hands composed of blue-green wind elements pushed aside the black ashes and found a transparent crystal the size of half a fist from it.
Out of consideration for his own safety, Taylor did not choose to restore his magic power in this plane, so he used magic recovery potions and mental recovery potions to replenish his consumption along the way.
After defeating this huge fat zombie, Taylor ran out of potions and it was time to go back.
Taylor walked into a room at random, first checking whether he had taken anything, then manipulating the Fire Medal and using its fire element barrier to clean his surface from the inside out, burning all the impurities into ashes.
After confirming that everything was fine, Taylor opened a dark blue mirror, stepped in, and returned to his familiar laboratory.
Looking at the empty cages in the laboratory, some familiar operating instruments, his own small notebook filled with records, and a bunk bed that he occasionally used for rest, Taylor felt extremely relaxed.
Compared to the other world, he was more pleased with the White Tower Alliance which was filled with a strong academic atmosphere.
After returning to his laboratory, Taylor took a short rest and then immediately analyzed the transparent crystals extracted from the zombie heads. This special crystal that gathered the vitality and mental strength of the human body was something he had never seen before. Perhaps he should conduct further research after gaining some knowledge of pharmacy.
Taylor had a hunch that if he wanted to make himself as powerful as possible during his wizard apprenticeship stage, then this special transparent crystal might be his shortcut.
In his spiritual space, a light blue dot condensed next to the ability that originally represented his ability to travel through dimensions. This dot marked the zombie dimension he had just visited.
According to the feedback his supernatural power gives him, the next time the energy is fully charged and he needs to teleport to another plane, he can choose to explore a new plane or go to a plane he has already visited. It takes about three months to fully charge the energy.
The energy required for plane travel is related to the strength of the plane itself. The zombie plane can only be regarded as a weak plane with relatively active magic elements.
In the laboratory, when Taylor placed on the table the notebooks in which he recorded all his gains, the notebooks in which he analyzed zombie species, the knowledge recorded in magic runes, magic circle knowledge, and the knowledge on the use of magic channel energy, and added them to his existing study notes, Taylor realized that his own knowledge reserves were already as much as a dozen thick notebooks.
The previous canvas bag can no longer accommodate the increasing number of notebooks, and he now needs a storage space prop.
After placing the transparent crystals he brought from the zombie dimension and some of his own notebooks in a hidden corner of the laboratory, hollowing out the wall and hiding it with bricks, Taylor felt that he seemed to need to spend some time doing the tasks of an apprentice and accumulating enough points to exchange for what he needed.
Miscellaneous Affairs Department
There is a special task in the apprentice group, which can be taken together with other tasks to earn more points, and the time for executing the task is fixed in the afternoon. It is responsible for patrolling the monster forest.
This is a long-term task, which involves patrolling the roads specially set up by wizards around the Monster Forest, checking whether the witchcraft runes enchanted on the roads are damaged, and dealing with some warcraft or monsters that cross the border personally when necessary.
The entire patrol mission was divided into four parts, namely patrolling the east, west, south and north of the monster forest. The mission lasted a long three months.
Although such a task is very profitable, it is also quite dangerous. Basically every two to three days, you will encounter a Warcraft or monster attacking the road barrier.
More importantly, only second-level wizard apprentices can take on such tasks, and they must form a team of two.
However, he now encountered a difficulty, that is, he had no familiar friends. It took two people to take on this patrol mission, and he was alone now.
"This is really a bad idea. I should have made some friends earlier."
Maybe because he was a loner in his previous life, Taylor still maintains a single-player state now. He always stays in his own fixed social circle, doing his own tasks, researching his own experiments, and collecting his own knowledge.
It has been two or three years since he came to the White Tower Alliance, a holy land of white wizards. He doesn't even know how many apprentices there are, how many he knows, or what others look like.
The chubby middle-aged man who was in charge of the Miscellaneous Affairs Department looked at Taylor with a distressed look and said:
"If you really don't know any apprentices, I have a good candidate here. His ability is also OK, but his personality and preferences are a bit strange. I don't know if you can accept him."
After hearing this, there was no reason for Taylor to refuse. He was thinking about how to take on this two-person mission and how to find an apprentice to go with him. Now that there was a suitable candidate, he naturally nodded and agreed.
"It's normal to have some strange preferences. After all, every wizard apprentice has a different path of research."
"As for being a little weird, that doesn't matter."
Seeing Taylor's indifferent expression, the manager of the Miscellaneous Affairs Department didn't say much, but just wrote two names behind the task of patrolling the southern part of the Monster Forest.
Taylor, Tyfas ………………………………
Taylor soon regretted the big words he had said yesterday. Taifas, who was accompanying him on the mission, was simply not someone that ordinary people could tolerate.
"Taylor, you know what? I've always wanted to go on a mission like this, but no one else wanted to go with me. Finally, I found a good person like you."
"Oh my god, Taylor, come and look. It's not far away. Do you see the swamp witch flying above the swamp? Other swamp witches ride brooms, but she rides a mop. More than 300 years ago, the wizard Wustermei discovered a new branch of swamp witches and named them swamp mop witches."
"Taylor......"
"Taylor......"
Before reaching the Monster Forest, Taylor had had enough of Tyfas's chattering and fussing along the way. He finally understood why no one was willing to carry out missions with this skinny, big-headed guy in front of him, wearing glasses, with freckles on his face, red hair and black pupils.
