Chapter 228 Undead Restraint Magic Pattern
David mentioned this before his match against Shepherd Fox. But he wasn’t told any specific details. Angel only knew that Promi wanted to work with him to construct a long-range alchemy weapon.
Upon hearing Angel’s inquiry, Promi didn’t beat around the bush but simply put forward the commission he was given.
The long-range alchemy weapon entering the level of a ranked item also requires undead stunning effects.
“This was entrusted to me by an old friend who had shown me grace long ago. I have refined many alchemy weapons, but it has been difficult to find a match for this specific requirements. It has been about half a year now since they put forward the commission.” Promi lamented: “Although alchemy blending has the most extensive operating space, this discipline is very sensitive to the creativity and experience of the alchemy wizard. It will taken me too much time, and in order not to disappoint my benefactor. I thought of you and your enchantments, my young friend.”
Angel wasn’t interested in the story behind the commission and went straight to the main point: “Master, you should also know I haven’t been in the alchemy world for too long. So I only know little about blending. I just want to know how far your effects are to achieving this commission.”
Promi said: “The best I can do is to let the weapon have the “Holy Light” effect. However, before this Holy Light can be stimulated, magic power must be inputted into the alchemy weapon for a long time. This means the weapon must be held closely and in the hands. Otherwise, the user cannot stably input magic power into it.”
After understanding Promi’s current limit, Angel asked again: “You are looking for enchantment which has an undead stunning effect. I haven’t seen this before. Can master briefly explain this to me?”
There was a look of embarrassment on Promi’s face as he said: “I don’t really know much about this alchemy magic pattern either. I only know about some common magic patterns.”
“Can Master say what method can be used to restrain the dead? Let me see if there are any similar magic pattern effects that I can recall.” Angel recorded the < Complete Collection on Enchantment > from the Nightmare Plane. This is a complete introduction from beginning to end for enchantment. It can only be guessed if even High Cloud Library contains more alchemy magic patterns than Angel does alone.
“When it comes to ways of dealing with the undead, you must first understand what the undead are…” Promi said.
With Promi’s introduction, Angel also learned something about the undead and their characteristics.
The so-called undead are actually corrupt souls. They are different from regular souls. The soul itself is a pure energy body made up of absolutely brilliant light. Any exorcism method won’t work against a common soul. However, the undead are different. Although the undead are also a kind of soul, they have a prefix of “corrupted” soul.
Almost all undead are full of strange negative energy, killing intent, bloodthirsty behaviour and an affinity for darkness. They are born with curse spells and are accompanied by various strange abilities. It isn’t easy to completely destroy them.
For the method which can restrain the undead. The only case of wizard spells that are most effective against them are purification class spells. But there are also differences in purification spells. Cleansing and dust removal are also considered purification spells and completely useless against the undead. Only purification spells such as Banishment, Holy Light Spell and Purification Spell have an effect on the undead.
Angel made a general summary on how to deal with the undead.
The first method is banishing them to a distant place. Such as another continent, Wizard Garden, or different space… and so on. But this method is the most harmful. Although it will be transferred as far away as possible, and out of sight and out of mind. It will also bring the most harm onto others.
The second method is to disintegrate it by decomposing the undead. Doing so will cause the conscious will to naturally dissipate. The essence of this method is the disintegration of energy. Although the undead have been corrupted, they are still energy bodies. With a specific spell. The undead can be disintegrated, burned up, or be exorcised.
The third method is to purify it. The purification here refers not to the purification class spells, but to disperse the corrupt energy in the undead’s body and let them return to a purer energy body. This kind of spell is the speciality of a wizard in the dark system.
These are the three main methods for dealing with the undead in three different categories. Generally speaking, most wizards hate the trouble of dealing with the undead and mostly adopt the banishment method. However, for banishment, whether it is dark banishment, space banishment, plane banishment or even the legendary time banishment. These basically jump to Level 1 Spells, and non-formal wizards cannot use them.
Therefore, generally speaking, only wizard apprentices will choose to destroy or purify the undead.
“Banish, destroy or purify.” Angel touched his forehead with one hand and whispered: “Let me think about this carefully.”
Promi kept sipping red wine with expectation in his eyes.
After a long time, Angel said: “There are no magic patterns that I personally know which have these similar effects.”
Promi’s expression was tinged with disappointment
“But I personally know very about little magic patterns myself. When I go back to help look it up for you, I think there should some which have those similar effects.” Angel comforted. He recalled the < Complete Collection on Enchantment-Introduction > and there are no magic patterns with those similar effects. Therefore, he guesses there should be magic patterns with these effects included in the following basic or advanced volumes.
“Then please let me trouble you. I’ve really racked my brains with this commission entrusted to me. At present, I have no choice but to go to the Wizard Market or auction to buy the finished product directly.” Promi sighed.
“Wizard Market?” Hearing the new word, Angel asked curiously: “Is this a market for formal wizards?”
Promi smiled and shook his head: “Not really. The Wizard Market basically sells everything magic related. For example, alchemy items, special plants, magic ores, profession books… and so on.”
“Doesn’t the Underground Market also sell these kinds of things as well?” Angel interrupted.
“It’s different, they aren’t the same. The Underground Market basically sells things catered to apprentices and didn’t you notice, the Underground Market vendors were mostly mortals. Most of the things sold are still in the mortal category with few alchemy items and some alchemy materials.” After a pause, Promi added: “Of course, occasionally there are some hidden treasures in the booth area. Even wizards will sometimes come searching the booths when they are idle.”
“However, the vast majority of wizards won’t go there. The places they usually head to are the Wizard Markets. Even middle and senior apprentices mostly go to the Wizard Markets instead of hanging around in the Underground Market.” Promi said.
It suddenly dawned on Angel: No wonder I couldn’t buy a wizard robe in the Underground Market.
“Where is the Wizard Market? Is it also below a certain Apprentice Town?” Angel asked curiously.
Promi shook his head and said: “The Wizard Market isn’t in the Mirror World. They are both mobile and fixed. I remember the nearest mobile Wizard Market was located near a tribe on the Paramjit Plateau 100 kilometres away from the Mirror World. Unfortunately, a large-scale blood smelting incident has occurred there some time ago. Even some formal wizards died during the event. So the Wizard Market moved out and went towards the Eternal Night Kingdom. The closest Wizard Market to the Savage Grottoes that I know of is only in one place. It is located in the capital of the Shadow Demon Kingdom thousands of kilometres away.”
Blood smelting incident? Angel remembered that Flora seemed to be dealing with a blood smelting incident and hadn’t yet returned to the Savage Grottoes.
“Thousands of kilometres is still a long way off.” Angel gave a heavy sigh and said: “I need to broaden my horizons.”
“Is this really far away?” Promi and David expressed doubts at the same time as they asked.
“Isn’t this far away?” Angel asked back.
David didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he said: “Angel, you aren’t from a primitive tribe, are you? Now even mortals can afford to take steam trains. It only takes three days to get to the capital of the Shadow Demon Kingdom by train from here through the Inner Earth Passage. If you go over the Paramjit Plateau by airship, you won’t even need half a day.”
“If you can fly or have a flying item, you can reach the capital of the Shadow Demon Kingdom in at most one day.” David explained.
After hearing David’s explanation, Angel’s face flashed a trace of embarrassment. His mind truly stayed in Edge Island. He walked out of the door, took in the information and shouted. For long distances, he has basically only taken carriages, and this journey took at least a month and a half to travel thousands of kilometres away.
“Are you curious about the Wizard Market?” David asked.
“A little bit.” Angel confessed frankly.
“If you’d like, you can come with me next time.” Promi said: “Anyway, whether you can find the Undead Restraint Magic Pattern or not, I will still go to the Wizard Market. If you can’t find it, then I will just have to buy the finished product. I will have to go there to buy materials as well.”
“There are many precious materials there, and maybe there are also some you need as well.” David added.
Angel really has some materials he wants to buy. Before Sanders Wizard Garden was built, he had collected a lot of Crystal Wall Microbes, which are the main materials for space equipment. Since he learned alchemy, he has always wanted to purchase all the auxiliary materials and then try to use them and refine his own basic space equipment.
However, there are no auxiliary materials here. The Resource Allocation Hall is quite complete, but the contribution point required is extremely frightening.
“Next time you go, please call me. I actually have some alchemy materials I want to buy.” Angel said to Promi, and Promi nodded back. Anyway, if he takes Angel with him, he can also brush some goodwill.
“Do you want to buy alchemy materials? Is there something missing from the shop?” David wondered.
Angel nodded to this question.
“If the materials you’re looking for aren’t in the shop… Is it for a new alchemy design? Or is it for the music box?” David asked with a face full of expectation.
“It’s not for the music box… It’s another alchemy design, but it hasn’t been fully designed or planned out yet. I’ll let you know when I start refining it.” When Angel promised David, he naturally wouldn’t break his word.
“Music box? Are you still interested in gadgets like these?” Perhaps when all his business was finished, Promi will explore this topic with newfound interest.
Angel gave a laugh and said: “Toby likes music, so I will specially make one for him.”
“Toby is Angel’s magic pet, he is the bird with the strongest fighting ability.” David explained to Promi.
“I see.” Promi was still curious about Toby, but he refrained from asking. These are all personal questions. He can be rash in dealing with others, but not with Angel.
“When I finish making the music box. David, do you want one? For the sake of the main material, the Echo Flowers will come from you.” Angel said to David.
David immediately refused and said: “I don’t want such artsy and girly things.”
“Are you sure you don’t want one? I’m going to depict a tranquil magic pattern under the music box.” Angel offered.
Tranquil magic pattern doesn’t mean absolute silence, but an auxiliary magic pattern that calms and focuses the mind.
David hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: “I’ve heard the sounds from music boxes. The sound of metal colliding is too harsh… The effect won’t work even if you depict a tranquil magic pattern.”
“Is that so? Don’t regret it then.” Angel is full of confidence in his music box.
