"Stop, what do you an by saying the future of the Curse School relies on ?"
Wizard Mark’s words startled Richard, almost making him jump up in place.
He was just here to put his na on the list, how did he end up becoming the successor of the Curse School? Moreover, the Curse Crown is in his pri, isn’t he afraid the Curse Crown will rember such words?
"Master, do you know what this Curse Principle is?" Wizard Mark asked seriously.
Richard shook his head, "I don’t know."
"This Curse Principle is actually the teacher’s research notes. While it’s not as comprehensive as the Curse Secret Book, it records much of the teacher’s thought process during exploration.
It is arguably the teacher’s most important personal inheritance item. Moreover..."
Wizard Mark pointed to Richard’s right palm, then opened his own left hand. In his left palm was an identical mark to Richard’s.
"This mark, even among the teacher’s students, only I have. And I have never seen this Curse Principle."
Wizard Mark’s voice carried a hint of helplessness; as the best student of the Curse Crown, he understood the gap between himself and his teacher better than anyone else.
Compared to the talent of the Curse Crown, this once-in-a-millennium genius of the Curse School was rely a star beside the bright moon.
He was already ntally prepared for the position of school leader to be given to soone else.
"No, no, no, I think you’ve got so things wrong." Richard waved his hand repeatedly, "The Curse Crown simply asked to put my na on the list because there is a twist in our destiny, just as a precaution.
The Crown Throne said himself, I don’t need to do anything, not even to choose sides.
No one would let the future leader side with another school."
Richard’s words left Wizard Mark stunned. Richard surely wouldn’t lie at this mont, could he have misunderstood?
"And think about it, I’m a wizard without any spiritual ability, how could I possibly beco the leader of the Curse School?" Richard continued, "A school leader who doesn’t even know his own school’s witchcraft, wouldn’t people laugh their heads off if that were known?"
Wizard Mark stroked his chin, feeling that Richard’s words made a lot of sense.
The Curse School does have the ability to let low-spirituality wizards use Curse witchcraft. But a wizard like Richard, who has walked the Path of Truth and nevertheless shows no reaction at all, his spirituality can’t be simply described as low.
"Master, cast a spell following this model." Wizard Mark took a crystal ball from his pocket and handed it to Richard.
Richard took it, explored a bit, and found a very simple curse witchcraft.
The effect of this witchcraft is to cause a person to hiccup non-stop, lasting for an hour, and is considered the simplest of Curse School’s witchcrafts, not even requiring a Curse Worm.
"If Master has spirituality, with the teacher’s mark, this witchcraft Master would definitely be able to cast."
Wizard Mark watched Richard, a trace of tension in his eyes. The casting of curse witchcraft often requires a dium; the stronger the dium, the less spirituality is required, and the higher the success rate for casting witchcraft.
The mark on Richard’s hand was one of the most powerful diums in the entire Curse School.
If Richard had even a little spirituality, he would be able to cast this witchcraft.
Richard shrugged, constructing a witchcraft model following the model, but the model collapsed the instant it appeared.
Without the Power of Mystery invoked by spirituality, this witchcraft model couldn’t be established at all.
"You see, you must have overthought it." Richard said helplessly.
Looking at the collapsing model, Wizard Mark secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Perhaps."
After putting his na on the list and obtaining the Curse Principle, Richard had no further matters at the headquarters of the Curse School.
After leaving the basent, Richard bid farewell to Wizard Mark.
He then needed to register at the headquarters of the Undead School.
The headquarters of the Undead School is located at the Five Rings Truth Tower, in an enormous cetery spanning over 300,000 square kiloters.
This cetery almost forms a world of its own, inhabited by countless undead, both high-level and low-level. From ti to ti, Undead Wizards treat or cultivate so undead creatures.
In the Undead School, such levels are very ordinary.
The task of the Undead Crown to have him put his na on the list was just a whim, without any deeper aning. After putting his na on the list, Richard finally finished the task assigned by the Crown and could finally take a break, exchange his Rule Treasure Book, and take the opportunity to discuss wizard physique issues with the Physique Crown.
...
"You want to exchange for the Rule Treasure Book?"
At the headquarters of the Shape-shifting School, the wizard in charge of exchanging war rits looked at Richard, filled with shock.
The war rits required to exchange for the Rule Treasure Book could only be described as vast, and adding a little more could exchange for a Miniature World. From the start of the war until now, this was the first ti he had seen soone exchanging for it.
"Is there a problem?" Richard raised an eyebrow, "Must one be a Shaping Wizard to exchange for it?"
If he had to be a Shaping Wizard to exchange it, he might as well put his na on the list for all six schools.
"Not at all, the exchange of the Rule Treasure Book is open to all Great Wizards." The Working Wizard quickly explained.
"Please wait a few days, I will send your application up imdiately."
The Rule Treasure Book belongs to the Shaping Energy Crown, so applying for the book naturally requires the approval of the Shaping Energy Crown. Given how the Shaping Energy Crown is busy with war and various affairs all day, it’s normal for the application approval process to be slow.
As for the thought of the Shaping Energy Crown delaying his application... such an idea was tossed into the trash as soon as it appeared in Richard’s mind.
He is, at most, a Five Rings Great Wizard. Even if his rits are high, achieving truth can only happen after the war is over, and it would take a long ti after the war.
If the timing of his application is delayed, they might as well call the Shaping Energy Crown the Delaying Energy Crown.
After waiting at the Headquarters of the Shape-shifting School for seven days, Richard’s application was finally approved. The Rule Treasure Book was delivered to Richard’s hands under the escort of the Great Wizard of Scorching Sun, a student of the Shaping Energy Crown.
"Rember, once the book is opened, your three days of reading ti will start to count down." The Great Wizard of Scorching Sun handed an ordinary-looking old-fashioned leather to to Richard, sternly advising, "After three days, the seal of the book will activate, so be sure to think about your questions carefully."
"Thank you for the reminder, Master."
Richard solemnly accepted the book with both hands and addressed the Great Wizard of Scorching Sun.
The Great Wizard of Scorching Sun looked Richard over and nodded, "It seems that you’re not as arrogant as rumors say. I suppose you said that because the Crown Throne signaled you."
"Hmm?" Richard looked at the Great Wizard of Scorching Sun with so confusion, "What do you an by that, Master?"
The Great Wizard of Scorching Sun, seeing Richard’s confusion, assud he was keeping a secret and waved his hand with a smile, "Nothing, I didn’t say anything, and you didn’t hear anything."
After saying that, before Richard could say anything else, the Great Wizard of Scorching Sun disappeared from the spot.
Richard scratched his head, feeling that the Great Wizard of Scorching Sun was a bit baffling. He was a newly promoted Great Wizard and hadn’t spent much ti in the Wizard World since becoming one, with limited interactions. How could he have shown any arrogance?
Surely, his post-war summary wasn’t seen as arrogant by others?
Richard shook his head, setting the matter aside. He only had a month to possess the Rule Treasure Book, and whether he read it or not, it would be sealed after one month.
Instead of worrying about these insignificant trifles, he’d rather consider which questions he wants answered.
...
The Extre North remained a world of ice and snow.
Looking at the distant spire, which appeared sowhat small among a cluster of tall buildings, Richard was overco with an inexplicable sense of nostalgia.
After so many years, Extre North City is no longer what it used to be.
He, too, was no longer the person he was when he left.
Pushing open the door, Richard entered the Wizard Tower. The interior of the Wizard Tower was spotless, and various magical devices were still functioning.
Evidently, this Wizard Tower had been carefully maintained over the years.
Perceiving soone entering, a series of footsteps ca from the passageway leading to the basent of the Wizard Tower.
Soon, a graceful figure erged from the underground.
"Richard! You’re back?!"
Richard opened his arms and embraced Ali, saying in a relaxed tone, "I’m back. This war was relatively easy."
After knowing that all his senior brothers and sisters had died on the battlefield, Richard was adamant that he didn’t want Ali to go to the battlefield again—since Ali wasn’t a Great Wizard, her presence or absence on the battlefield was inconsequential.
Therefore, when assigned to the Wilderness World, Richard did not bring Ali along.
This was to protect her and also out of respect for the other wizards.
Letting go of the embrace, Richard didn’t pour out his heart to Ali but plunged straight into his laboratory.
Ti waits for no one, and his use of the Rule Treasure Book is limited to one month.
In the laboratory, Richard placed the Rule Treasure Book on the experint table. Then, he opened a Secret Realm Rift and pulled Ulysses over.
His research on rules was still too shallow and narrow, and he needed a more experienced "ntor" to give him so guidance.
Due to the Miracle Furnace, Richard had hardly explored the connections and affinities between different rules—the Miracle Furnace would handle these troubles for him, and he just needed to prepare enough rules.
Although the Physique Crown would be suitable for such guidance, he wasn’t a student of the Physique Crown, and asking such questions would be sowhat presumptuous.
"Hmph, if you ask , you must make a choice now, whether to focus on the present or look to the future."
Ulysses pondered Richard’s question for a mont and then gave this suggestion.
"If you focus on the present, you should aim to enhance your short-term combat power as much as possible, aning that the power of the rules can support your physique. If you look to the future, then you should seek out rules that can help you research witchcraft and enhance the power of witchcraft."
Faced with this answer, Richard was silent for a mont before sighing and then said sowhat exasperatedly, "...Of course, I fucking know that. What I need are more specific suggestions, like which types of rules can support the physique and which types can help research witchcraft?"
