Hearing that Zhou Qingfeng actually said that he wanted to 'owe first', Mondino was also stunned for a long time. After being a necromancer for so many years, and having been famous in the North for more than ten years, this was the first time that someone dared to tell it that he owed it without any shame.
account.
This man is still his boss.
Mondino held the staff, hunched over, his head shrunk in the black robe with a red light. After thinking for a long time, he found that he had no other choice but to agree. Although Boss Hugo is acting nonsense, he is still very reliable so far.
of.
"Sir Hugo, I must remind you that the intelligence of low-level undead is limited. No matter how strengthened it is, its combat effectiveness is not strong. The physical golem I made before is also a kind of undead, but its brain just doesn't work well."
Mondino's meaning is very simple. The wisdom of the undead will only degrade after death and will not improve. Even if the ability of the hidden servant is upgraded to the dragon level, its wisdom is still locked and there will be no change.
.
Zhou Qingfeng nodded, indicating that he knew. The library of the 'Gate of True Knowledge' has a quite detailed description of the characteristics of the undead, with obvious advantages and disadvantages.
"It doesn't matter, it would be good to increase the strength of the undead. Besides, if you have gray crystals on hand, lend me some. I want a group of ghosts." Uncle Zhou stretched out his hand, "I will return the yellow crystals to you at a discount in the future.
"
After a long while, Mondino could only take out a small bag from his pocket, grabbed the mouth of the bag and asked, "Sir, how much do you want?"
"Five hundred, do you have it?"
Mondino was startled and shook his head quickly: "Sir, I am no more heroic than you. Even gray crystals are not readily available. I can lend you a hundred at most."
"Okay, just one hundred."
Mondino added: "It is not easy to transform ghosts. One or two can be easily solved. One hundred will require a lot of concentrated negative energy. This requires a special transformation array."
At the end of the sentence, the Necromancer added, "Actually, ghosts are also very weak. They don't know any spells. They have no fighting power except for scaring people. They are at most stronger than hidden servants."
It's better than the hidden servant. Zhou Qingfeng felt that he could easily be satisfied. He pulled Mondino and called Xili. He took off the 'Gate of True Knowledge' hanging around his neck and gave it to the elf girl, "I need
A negative energy transformation array."
The 'Gate of True Knowledge' has endless uses. It has its own virtual alchemy laboratory, and the laboratory can also be used as a magic circle. However, this requires an elf of royal blood to operate, and Zhou Qingfeng, a first-level alchemist, cannot handle it.
As for activating the magic circle, just leave it to Mondino. This guy is a genuine necromancer. Zhou Qingfeng also took out the 'Tears of the Emperor' as a storage unit to ensure that the magic circle operates stably in the violent vortex of negative energy.
Xili took the pentagram and chanted a spell softly. The star quickly grew in size, evolved, and fell to the ground to become a negative energy transformation array full of twisted lines.
This formation looked quite satisfactory, and Mondino was familiar with it. But Professor Zheng, who was in Zhou Qingfeng's mind, suddenly said: "Xiao Zhou, do you want to try a few combinations of runes on the ancient evil inscriptions?
According to my deduction, this negative energy conversion array has too much redundancy, the conversion efficiency is not the highest, and there is room for improvement in the conversion quality."
Improve?
Zhou Qingfeng's alchemy was only superficially based on a cat painting a tiger. He had to rely on Sophia to control the hidden servants to make a potion according to the existing plan. Modifications to the original design had to be done with caution.
The old professor saw Zhou Qingfeng's hesitation and reminded: "The alchemy laboratory of the 'Gate of True Knowledge' has a simulation function. We can try it in the simulation state first."
It would be easy to give it a try. She asked Xili to switch the magic circle to the simulation state, and Zhou Qingfeng began to change the operating runes on the magic circle. Some original runes from ancient evil texts flew out of his palm to replace the existing complex runes.
arts.
This is a bit like using a small program written in assembly language to replace a high-level C language program library. For novices, using C language is obviously easier than assembly, and both portability and compatibility are far better than assembly.
But the advantages of assembly are that it is compact, specialized, and efficient. In addition, it is close to the hardware and few people understand it.
It was quite time-consuming to modify the original design. Zhou Qingfeng spent a lot of time on it, and there were a lot of bugs during the simulation run. But debugging the magic circle is the process of understanding how the magic works.
Mondino looked at it inexplicably at first, until just a few seconds after the nth debugging and running, the magic circle suddenly emitted smoke. However, it screamed and rushed towards Zhou Qingfeng's thigh, shouting: "Dear Sir Hugo,
You are such a genius!"
The modified magic circle experienced a strong magic shock before it emitted smoke. The 'Emperor's Tears' acted as a source of negative energy, and the overflowing negative energy was highly concentrated.
Cyric felt the concentrated negative energy and yelled angrily: "Victor Hugo, do you really want to die with me? No matter where you got the idea, you must stop it immediately. You can't do it.
research in this area.”
Mondino's weirdness and Cyric's anger turned into Zhou Qingfeng's frown. He could feel Cyric's extreme anger and panic in the Kingdom of God, which cannot be faked.
The last time Zhou Qingfeng helped Professor Zheng transform and created a vortex of negative energy, Cyric was also furious. This time he further concentrated the negative energy and even caused a certain qualitative change... Cyric jumped out again
.
Zhou Qingfeng asked Professor Zheng in his mind, "What happened just now?"
"There is a lack of observational data and it is impossible to make qualitative or quantitative judgments. But based on experience, this should be because the simulation process has exceeded the endurance limit of the 'Gateway to True Knowledge'. I hope no irreversible damage has occurred."
The old professor replied in a deep voice, "I have seen the elves' accumulation of more than 20,000 years. When studying magic power, they still adopt a simple observation mode and rely on repeated low-level experiments with great luck.
If elves experiment more, their level will be higher. If humans experiment less, their level will be lower. If we want to surpass, we must develop accurate measurement units and testing instruments, and adopt scientific methods to study.
In fact, I have a guess that magic is similar to electric current, and magic network is similar to power grid. This is a bit like Tesla's idea of wireless power transmission. But how it is generated and how it works remains to be explored. This research topic is really too big."
Zhou Qingfeng pondered over this. He ostensibly succumbed to Cyric's pressure and silently canceled the simulated magic circle and returned to the negative energy transformation array in its original normal state.
Mondino was very respectful to Zhou Qingfeng during the whole process, busy running back and forth like an apprentice, and obediently offered him all the gray crystals he had on hand, more than two hundred of them.
Different from the hidden servants transformed from dead souls, the ghosts transformed from gray crystals will be stronger and basically retain their intelligence in life. Mondino worked hard during the rest of the journey and helped Zhou Qingfeng obtain more than a thousand hidden servants. Two
Hundreds of ghosts.
The necromancer did not mention the matter of replacing Huang Jing. Instead, he took out a small notebook from time to time to record Zhou Qingfeng's words while doing experiments.
All Servants and Ghosts are stored in the 'Tears of the Emperor'.
This top jewel is dark and deep, and although the dark light it transmits is weak, it is dazzling under arcane vision. It even begins to naturally absorb the negative energy around it because it stores too many undead.
Zhou Qingfeng returned to the real world with this 'Emperor's Tears'. As soon as he got rid of Cyric's surveillance, he cursed bitterly: "Sooner or later, I will destroy this crazy god."
Professor Zheng replied calmly: "If you want to destroy the mad god, let's study negative energy first. We need to establish a research system on magic power, and first we need to determine some measurable weights and measures."
Zhou Qingfeng immediately said proudly: "This is too simple. Taking the magic power that I can control as an alchemist now as the basic unit, the name is 'peak'."
