Chapter 297: Dissociation Spell and Astrid’s Claw
This was normal. Maintaining a plane passage was never an easy task.
The cost of a single Realm Heart Stone was around 300 gold coins. Compared to the 19 Soul Crystals that he had obtained, Matthew still made a huge profit.
While the ritual was still operating normally.
Matthew quickly recorded the relevant information and key points. These things could be used when applying for research projects from the Alliance.
In general.
This ceremony could be considered a complete success.
Matthew gradually verified the feasibility of ” using the Scorched Earth of Death to contain the Scar of the Dead ” and accidentally discovered the secrets of ” Ashes ” and ” Sparks ” from Phily.
Afterwards.
He spent another night organizing the content into a decent proposal according to the template.
The next day, Matthew used the Alliance’s office in the Cauldron House to formally apply for a delay in the expansion of the Scar of Death project through his Al channel. At the same time, he did not forget to hand over the crystal ball recording the ritual to the small black room for Isabelle to read.
Another day passed.
Matthew received the good news that the application was approved, and the project was successful!
He went to the Cauldron House and received the first project fund from David.
Just the initial funds allocated were 3000 gold coins!
According to David, as long as Matthew completed the preparations for the follow-up work, mainly the preparation of spell materials and the recruitment of apprentices, the follow-up funds would soon be in place. The total funding for this project was around 30,000 gold coins.
Matthew could apply for more at any time.
During the project, Matthew’s only obligation was to recruit as many apprentices as possible and ensure their safety during the ceremony.
David said,
‘ Not every apprentice can become a useful mage for the Alliance, but the Alliance needs to nurture more talents through a large base. Recruiting apprentices will be beneficial to you, and there will be no harm. You only need to ensure their basic safety. As for the rest, you can treat them as your undead.
“If you recruit enough acolytes, you will even receive additional knowledge points when the project is settled. Of course, I don’t recommend blindly recruiting people. After all, it’s easy to get into trouble with too many people. There are very few necromancers in the Alliance, and the same goes for apprentices. There might be few apprentices who have learned necromancy. I suggest that you publicize the corresponding conditions when you start your recruitment. It will be easier for you to screen them faster.
“If Lord Matthew doesnt mind, I can do most of the early work, including the purchase of materials and the determination of the initial list. Of course, the final interview will still be decided by you personally.”
Matthew was already used to David’s solicitousness.
Because he had gradually realized the scarcity of AIS. There were no more than 10 AIS in the entire Alliance in the South. Even Blinken’s title in the Alliance was only B2.
This discovery made Matthew both happy and uneasy.
He could not be sure of Edmond’s intention for promoting him. It could be purely to please Isabelle, but it could also be that he had other intentions.
However, before Ronan returned, Matthew could only choose to work hard.
In the end, Matthew handed over most of the preparatory work to David.
It was only when the initial roster was confirmed that Matthew stuffed a small note into David’s hand and asked him to write the name on the note into the roster in advance.
Of course, Matthew didn’t really want to sleep with that girl called Lesley.
It was just that the other party’s boldness and bravery left a deep impression on him.
Anyway, he was just looking for a group of apprentices, so he might as well give her a chance.
He just didn’t know how well Lesley had mastered Necromancy.
In the next few days.
Matthew spent most of his time in the oak forest, occasionally going to the Cauldron House to check on the preparations for the project.
Other than planting trees, he also seized the time to learn new spells.
The most important ones were the two Tier 3 spells, Disintegrate and Astrid’s Claw.
Perhaps it was because it was also related to the domain of transformation, Disintegrate spell was quite difficult for Matthew to learn.
He had to admit that he lacked talent in the field of transformation.
If it weren’t for Rheagar’s help, he would probably still be tortured by the Malicious Shapeshifting Spell.
Disintegrate was the same.
As far as Matthew knew, this was a controversial spell.
The School of Curse and the School of Transfiguration were both fighting for the ownership of Disintegrate.
The former believed that the principle of Disintegrate was to control the change of energy in the form of a curse so that any non-living object would collapse from the inside and eventually become a cloud of dust.
Of course, this was a curse.
The latter believed that the true principle of Disintegrate was to turn any non-living object touched by the spell energy into a cloud of dust.
This should be considered a transformation.
The clever thing was…
Whether it was from the theory of curses or from the perspective of transformation, mages had the ability to master Disintegrate.
Therefore, this spell became a popular divine skill for mid- and low-level mages.
After all, in a battle between Mages, mana was nothing. The most important thing was the endless supply of tools and equipment.
Disintegrate was a spell that specialized in melting equipment and disintegrating props. It could greatly bridge the gap between rich and poor mages.
Mages who were passionate about battle naturally learned this spell.
The reason why Matthew learned this spell was because the introduction of the combat spell crash course he had signed up for had mentioned that Disintegrate was one of the compulsory combat spells.
Unfortunately, his talent in this area was mediocre. He had yet to complete the first step of Disintegrate, which was to turn a magnet into a cloud of dust. There were a few times when he was tired from practising his magic until late at night and accidentally turned the magnet into a goat.
After experiencing the soul-stirring experience of almost being kicked.
Matthew silently increased his demand for coffee at night.
Compared to Disintegrate.
Astrid’s Claw was a necromancy spell that Matthew could learn with ease.
In just two days, he had successfully mastered this spell.
The effect of this spell was to control a four-clawed tentacle with negative energv.
On the other hand, Astrid’s Claw could also be used physically to grab and throw the target.
In general.
Astrid’s Claw was the spell version of the Hand of Paleness. It had a longer attack range, up to 32 meters, and most spells had a casting range of 20 to 28 meters.
The range was the thing that caught Matthew’s attention.
In addition, the effect of Astrid’s Claw was more stable. Although it didn’t apply to instant death, the attribute of being able to cause negative effects to haunt the enemy made up for it.
It was a pity that spells or abilities in the same domain could not be harmonized. Otherwise, Matthew would really like to see what kind of powerful ability Astrid’s Claw and Pale Hand could combine into. Time passed quickly as he was busy planting trees and learning spells.
Night fell.
Matthew smiled and led Renesme into the small wooden house.
It was time for the weekly strengthening.
This week, he did not plant many trees. He only had 11 strengthening opportunities, but he should have a chance to get purple and gold.
Matthew sat by the bed.
He was just about to raise his hand to strengthen Renesme.
However, at this moment, Matthew suddenly saw a lonely figure outside the window.
He focused his gaze.
It was Soldier who was leaning against the window, silently looking at him and
Renesme.
There was actually a trace of grievance in the soul fire.
