Wraiths were powerful spirits formed after the death of high-grade professionals.
Wraiths had the same characteristics of incorporeal creatures and the same type of supernatural power as wraiths, but they also had more terrifying supernatural abilities.
For example, "Horrible Howl!"
This supernatural ability allowed wraiths to let out a horrible howl that only souls could hear. It could make people feel a strong fear from their souls, causing them to run away uncontrollably or break down. Only people with strong wills could resist this fear. This was an area of effect spell. All creatures within 30 meters of the wraiths would be affected by the spell.
"Telekinesis" allowed wraiths to control other creatures with their powerful spiritual power.
"Decaying Gaze" allowed wraiths to inject mental power with negative energy into their enemies through their eyes. Creatures affected by Decaying Gaze would first be directly attacked by negative energy, and the effect was equivalent to Grievous Wound. Secondly, the target would also be affected by a shock attack aimed at the soul. If their willpower was not strong enough, they would fall into panic and even break down.
Wraiths were terrifying creatures with a challenge rating of up to Level-12.
Feng Chou could ignore the wraiths in the town, but he could not ignore these wraiths. If he wanted to enter the underground magic laboratory in Chapman Castle, he had to go through the wraiths' territory.
Qiankun Pagoda circled the castle and scanned it. There were no less than 30 wraiths in the castle.
It was no wonder that the nobles of Casablanca did not care about such a large piece of land. Not to mention the evil spirits in the depths of the castle, just these thirty-odd ghosts alone would be enough to cause trouble for a large shrine. Without an archbishop (profession level 15 and above) leading a team of high-level priests and church knights leading the way, they might not even be able to see the evil spirits.
Feng Chou hesitated for a while in the air and let Qiankun Pagoda slowly approach the castle gate.
On the two defense towers on both sides of the castle gate, there were three wraiths, and there was another one not far from the gate.
When Qiankun Pagoda was 40 meters away from the castle gate, the four wraiths near the gate rushed toward Qiankun Pagoda like a chain reaction.
The four ghosts flew towards Qiankun Pagoda for more than ten meters before suddenly disappearing without a trace.
According to the battle plan that Feng Chou and Qiankun Pagoda had previously formulated, once they were attacked, Qiankun Pagoda would open a spatial door between him and the enemy, and create an illusion that was identical to the outside world inside the spatial door. This illusion could even deceive the spiritual vision of ghosts. In other words, the attacker would not be able to see or feel the changes in front of them, and would unknowingly plunge into the Qiankun Pagoda.
That was how the four spirits fell into the trap.
Feng Chou refused the suggestion of Reincarnation Mirror to decompose the ghost and suppressed the ghost at the bottom of Qiankun Pagoda.
Feng Chou's confidence was boosted by the success of his plan. He followed the same pattern and lured the ghosts on both sides of the castle wall into the Heaven and Earth Pagoda.
In this way, Feng Chou carefully suppressed the ghosts on the ground of the castle into the bottom of Qiankun Pagoda one by one.
Although the ghosts could retain part of their memories and wisdom, their minds would become extremely crazy under the influence of obsession and negative energy. They were not much better than the ghosts who had completely lost their intelligence.
After cleaning up the ghosts on the ground, Qiankun Pagoda flew to the castle building.
Qiankun Pagoda broke the window of a room on the fourth floor of the building with a clear purpose and flew in.
This was a spacious study with bookshelves on all four walls. A large desk was placed against the window, facing the door of the study.
The entrance to the underground magic laboratory of the castle was in this study.
Feng Chou got this information from Chapman.
As Chapman had suggested to Feng Chou, the laboratory of the castle was deep underground in the central square of the castle, and the entrance was in the study of the castle owner.
Although Feng Chou did not get the specific information of the entrance, it was not difficult for Qiankun Pagoda.
If it was an ordinary mechanism, it could not hide from Qiankun Pagoda's scanning. If it was a secret lock or a transmission circle, it could not hide from Qiankun Pagoda's scanning after activating Secret Vision.
Qiankun Pagoda soon found the mechanism of the secret passage.
With a magic trick, the Hand of Magic pulled out a thick book on the top of the bookshelf. Along with the book, there was a lever for the mechanism.
With a series of creaking sounds, a secret door cracked open on the bookshelf.
Qiankun Pagoda flew into the secret door.
Inside the secret door was a small space. In the center of the space was a one-meter diameter magic circle. This magic circle was almost identical to the short-distance transmission circle in the broken arcane tower.
Qiankun Pagoda flew into the magic circle. After a moment of hesitation, he activated the magic circle.
In the next moment, Qiankun Pagoda appeared in a huge library.
The moment Qiankun Pagoda appeared on the transmission circle in the middle of the library, the five ghosts wandering aimlessly in the library simultaneously let out an angry howl that only souls could hear and rushed toward Qiankun Pagoda.
A moment later, the five ghosts disappeared without a trace.
At this time, Qiankun Pagoda had the time to scan the surrounding environment.
This was a circular library with a diameter of more than thirty meters. The library was surrounded by bookshelves that extended to the top of the walls. There was a circular track in front of the circular bookshelves. A ladder was installed on the track that could slide along the track. With this ladder, the reader could easily reach the top of the bookshelves, where the books were more than five meters above the ground.
The bookshelves were covered with magical power to prevent the books from being eroded.
Feng Chou did the same thing. He opened the portal of Qiankun Pagoda, then flipped the bookshelves over one by one and threw them into the portal of Qiankun Pagoda.
Soon, Qiankun Pagoda finished the preliminary analysis of the new books. He told Feng Chou that these books included information on necromancy, curses, alchemy, and other elementary and intermediate spells. There was also a small amount of advanced necromancy spells.
The information in this library was not as comprehensive as the ones in the arcane tower. However, there were some new theories and spells that were discovered in the later Arcane Empire. This new knowledge was exchanged for more than thirty thousand points of soul power for Feng Chou.
The advanced necromancy books only included the basic knowledge of advanced necromancy spells and some level six necromancy spells.
Just these advanced spells alone were exchanged for six merit points and three hundred thousand points of soul power for Feng Chou.
This undoubtedly made Feng Chou very excited.
He didn't think too much and let Qiankun Pagoda go to the next floor.
