Chapter 130: Full speed improvement
The Bone Prison spell was a magic spell that journeyman necromancers had to master. When this magic was deployed deftly, it would create certain conditions for dark creatures that makes it easier for them to defeat their enemies.
Han Shuo practiced the Bone Prison spell by himself in the cemetery behind the mountains to the back of the Academy for the next three days. His resolute determination and the intelligence afforded to him after opening up his brain allowed Han Shuo to grasp a clearer understanding of the innate character of necromancy magic.
Some magical theory that had been obscure and difficult to understand, or needing prolonged contemplation from Han Shuo for comprehension, had become easy to understand due to Han Shuo’s mind becoming incomparably clear. He could quickly understand many concepts when he put his mind to it.
In a short three days, the use of the Bone Prison spell progressed from continual failure to occasional release. He also started officially practicing another spell of Bone Shield during this time. His fast training speed astonished even himself.
Clapclapclap.
The sound of applause rang out in the distance, as the well rounded and alluring Emily appeared in the distance with a slight smile, approaching Han Shuo slowly.
Halting his magic practice session, Han Shuo looked at Emily and said, “I’ve already met up with Candide. Who could’ve thought that your identity in the Dark Mantle is this high? Looks like your mission will include me in it.”
“Hehe, my mission will require your communication with the forest trolls anyways. Although I don’t have a high status like that old fox Candide, he still had to do me this favor when I brought up this matter with him. Now that you’ve joined this mission, I’ll give you most of the credit after the matter’s done. Perhaps your status within the Dark Mantle will increase another two stars this way.” Emily reached out naturally to wrap her hands around Han Shuo’s shoulder when she arrived in front of him, speaking to him in a seemingly fawning manner.
He was about to compliment Emily when Han Shuo suddenly remembered what Candide said, and was on his guard about Emily’s other identity. He suddenly looked at her with a not so pleasant expression, “When I went to see Candide this time, he told me a bit about your true identity and told me to be careful, lest I incur unnecessary trouble. That was when I knew you were Master Aymes’ blood sister. But I still don’t know much about your other identity. Can you tell me now?”
“Mm, tell Phoebe for me that I still need more. Please have her prepare them for me and we’ll settle the accounts at once when I swing by two days later.” Han Shuo said with a smile as he looked at Fabian.
“Heh heh, no problem. With our relationship, I can take care of a small matter like this. Don’t worry.” Fabian spoke merrily to Han Shuo as he promised.
“It looks like Mister Fabian’s role within the Guild is becoming higher and higher.” Han Shuo was surprised to see Fabian agree so easily.
“Not at all, not at all, this is all thanks to you. If it wasn’t for you, I don’t think I would’ve made my way up so easily. The reason Miss Phoebe values me so is also because I introduced you to her, I think. To be honest, I really need to thank you. Heh heh, even my nephew Jack has benefited from acquainting you. You truly bring great fortune to us.” Fabian looked at Han Shuo as he spoke earnestly.
“You’re too polite, please say hi to Jack for me and tell him I came by. However, I’m a bit busy today and don’t have idle time to chat.” Han Shuo exchanged some pleasantries with Fabian and left with a smile.
