After returning to the hotel, Feng Chou locked the door and entered Qiankun Pagoda once again. He started to read the newly acquired spell information according to Qiankun Pagoda's catalog.
With the help of the Qiankun Pagoda, Feng Chou spent a week reading through all the intermediate necromancy spells.
Although the spell information that Feng Chou had obtained from the Antalya Mage Academy didn't have any official information on intermediate spells, there was a more detailed introduction to each intermediate spell. This was to increase the ability of low level mages to identify intermediate spells. Only by identifying the opponent's spells could they make the correct response.
Therefore, Feng Chou had a general understanding of each intermediate spell.
The intermediate spell information in the Arcane Pagoda far exceeded the range of spells that Feng Chou knew.
Among them, the increase in necromancy spells was the greatest.
In the list of necromancy spells in the arcane tower, not only were there healing spells ranging from minor injuries to fatal ones, there were also Undead Ignore, Disease Cure, Dead Talk, Death Ward, Regeneration, Life Kill, and many other divine spells that originally belonged to priests.
Apart from these spells, what attracted Feng Chou's attention was the Bloodline Ceremony that he had never heard of before. This was also the main reason why Qiankun Pagoda had suggested that he limit his research on necromancy spells.
Magic rituals were a very complicated combination of magic.
This kind of magic complex often required the cooperation of multiple layers of complex magic circles. During the ceremony, mages needed to activate different layers of magic circles according to the order of the ceremony. At the same time, dozens to hundreds of Spell Slots and Spell Scrolls that had been prepared beforehand would be activated according to the order of the magic circles. This series of magic circles would operate, and the effects of the spells would be linked and interacted with each other. In the end, the powerful effect that the mage needed would be achieved.
Compared to spells, only magic ceremonies could truly reflect a mage's ability to cast spells. Only the most outstanding mages could master magic ceremonies.
The 'Bloodline Ritual' was the specialty of Necromancers. Feng Chou had obtained information from the Antalya Mage Academy about a few Bloodline Rituals, such as the Troll Bloodline Ritual, the Giant Bloodline Ritual, and the Arcane Knight Bloodline Ritual.
Apart from the information on the Bloodline Ceremony, there was also the "Intermediate Dragon Bloodline Ceremony", "Intermediate Demon Warlock Bloodline Ceremony", "Intermediate Devil Warlock Bloodline Ceremony", "Intermediate Devil Warlock Bloodline Ceremony", and "Intermediate Dragon Bloodline Ceremony".
The Dragon Disciple's Bloodline Ceremony required one to obtain the blood of Gold, Silver, Red, Blue, Green, and Bronze Dragons. Then, one had to extract the essence of the Bloodline and mix the essence of the Bloodline into different alchemy mixtures through alchemy.
Next, the sorcerer needed to prepare five extremely complex arcane spell formations. Each arcane spell formation was divided into several levels, and they also needed to prepare hundreds of specialized spells from level 0 to level 5. Of course, these spells could all be replaced by scrolls.
Next, the recipient had to drink the different alchemy mixtures in different order. Every time they drank a different alchemy mixture, they had to enter a different formation.
The arcanist presiding over the ceremony activated the formation layer by layer, and used different spells to support the operation of the formation.
The entire ceremony would last for a few days. If the ceremony was successful, the recipient would become a Dragon Disciple around level 11, even if they were just an ordinary person.
The advantage of this ceremony was that the details of the ceremony could be adjusted to adjust the spellcasting list of the Warlock. It was very controllable.
The disadvantage was that it was very expensive!
Demon Warlocks and Devil Warlocks were similar to Dragon Disciple Warlocks. They had to collect the blood of seven or eight different types of demons or devils, extract the essence of the Bloodline, and then mix several different alchemy mixtures through alchemy.
Next, with the help of the formation and spells, they had to drink and digest the alchemy mixtures in order, and finally obtain the ability to cast spells.
There was a warning at the end of both ceremonies: any Warlock who accepted this ceremony would eventually fall into the abyss of hell!
The Dragon Bloodline Ceremony was simpler than the Warlock Bloodline Ceremony, and the cost was also lower.
The Dragon bloodline ceremony was divided into ten types according to the different dragon blood used. They were the Red Dragon bloodline ceremony, the Blue Dragon bloodline ceremony, the Green Dragon bloodline ceremony, the Black Dragon bloodline ceremony, the White Dragon bloodline ceremony, the Gold Dragon bloodline ceremony, the Silver Dragon bloodline ceremony, the Bronze Dragon bloodline ceremony, the Copper Dragon bloodline ceremony, and the Brass Dragon bloodline ceremony.
Each Dragon Bloodline Ceremony would allow the recipient to obtain a part of the dragon's abilities, such as a strong body, great strength, powerful mental strength, dragon breath, and a part of their innate spellcasting abilities.
The Dragon Bloodline Ceremony could also be adjusted by adjusting the formation, alchemy formula, and prepared spells. For example, one could choose whether the effects of the ceremony were inclined towards the body or the spells, whether to maintain the human form or the half-dragon form, whether to retain the scales, whether to retain the dragon's breath, and selectively retain some of the dragon's organs, such as the dragon wings.
After understanding the Bloodline Ceremony, Feng Chou's heart was already inclined towards these Bloodline Ceremonies. However, he would have to wait until he advanced to become an intermediate necromancer before making a decision. Now, he only had a superficial understanding of these ceremonies through some literal meanings, and couldn't fully grasp them.
Next, Feng Chou began to sweep through all the elementary spell knowledge.
Although it couldn't be used for experiments, the basic knowledge could be learned first, and the experiments could be made up in the future.
After raising his intelligence to 30, Feng Chou felt that learning elementary spell knowledge had become very easy.
When he was in Antalya, Feng Chou had already grasped all the elementary spells of the illusion and alchemy system. At that time, he needed a year to completely grasp the spell knowledge of a system.
Now, after his intelligence had increased again, he only needed three or four months to grasp the basic knowledge of a system of spells.
Half a month in the real world was more than two years in the tower intermittently. Feng Chou had already completely grasped the basic knowledge of the remaining eight systems of spells. Next, he only needed a laboratory to be able to integrate this basic knowledge and completely grasp all the elementary spells.
Half a month later, the Maigret Detective Agency's commission finally had a result.
It wasn't Arnaud who came to visit him.
It was a thin middle-aged man with deep wrinkles on his face and a rigid and serious expression.
This was Feng Chou's first impression when he heard the knock on the door and opened it.
"Hello, Mr. Baron, I'm Detective Wright from the Maigret Detective Agency, the registered detective in charge of your commission. I've brought the detective report you commissioned."
Feng Chou reached out to shake hands with him and said, "Nice to meet you, Detective Wright. Please come in and have a seat."
Qiankun Pagoda's scan told Feng Chou that this detective's profession was very interesting. He was a level four rogue, a level four warrior, and also a high-level mage apprentice.
After inviting him into the room, Feng Chou rang the bell to call the room attendant and asked him to bring two cups of coffee.
After both parties sat down, Detective Wright took out a scroll and handed it to Feng Chou.
