Chapter 68: Whisperer’s Murmur

Unable to figure it out, Luo Yan could only temporarily give up on exploring this problem. He decided to observe it further; perhaps it was simply that there was not enough mana.

With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the summon of A Dai. A look of anticipation appeared on Luo Yan’s face. The stabilization of the fifth “Mana Vessel” was just an unexpected bonus. In fact, he had another plan for today, which was to practice a new first-level spell.

This time, Luo Yan did not choose the first-level spells he was already familiar with. Instead, he chose the “Whisperer’s Murmur” from the notebook of insights he had previously obtained from Old Strom.

As a “former” seventh-level Magister, Luo Yan was familiar with most low-level Necromancy Magic. However, he had never heard of this “Whisperer’s Murmur” before his rebirth. He figured it must be a rather obscure and rare spell. Such spells usually either lacked power or had various flaws that made them impractical. In short, they were generally useless, which was why they were not widely known. However, the effect of “Whisperer’s Murmur” described in the notebook truly attracted Luo Yan.

…

[Whisperer’s Murmur]: Support type. After use, it can quantify the specific details of one’s own summons. This spell is limited and cannot be upgraded.

…

Although the description was brief, it was still clear that this was a completely support-oriented spell, which was very rare in Necromancy Magic…

Picking up the notebook, Luo Yan looked seriously at the incantation for “Whisperer’s Murmur” again. He chanted it softly in his mouth while simultaneously making the corresponding hand signs.

One should not underestimate this preliminary work. Identifying the incantations was actually a very important step. The process of chanting was actually using mental strength to finely adjust the frequency of one’s own mana fluctuations to mobilize the Magic Element. Snapping one’s fingers with a single hand looked very cool, but that was the result of practicing it tens of thousands of times. These preliminary steps were the true foundation.

A moment later, Luo Yan stopped chanting, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He then drew a shape in the air and flipped and pointed with his hand signs. Immediately, a cluster of white light appeared in his palm. The light was as crystal clear as a bright pearl, and it felt as if a spark of wisdom was flickering within it.

[After all, it was only a first-level Necromancy Magic spell. Luo Yan had been a seventh-level Magister in his previous life. He had basically mastered it in a short time; all that remained was the process of countless practice sessions to become familiar with it…]

Looking at the silver-white orb of light in his hand, Luo Yan thought for a moment and snapped his fingers. A Dai appeared in the room again. Luo Yan then followed the method recorded in the notebook and pushed the silver-white orb of light into A Dai.

Suddenly, a bright light erupted from A Dai’s body. The silver-white orb covered A Dai from head to toe like flowing water, and then gradually “seeped” into the bones, as if it had been absorbed by A Dai.

Seeing this scene, Luo Yan was slightly stunned. He had seen many gorgeous magic effects, but this was the first time he had seen one that was both gorgeous and… eerie.

While he was dazed, Luo Yan suddenly felt a slight headache, followed by a loud bang in his mind. Luo Yan couldn’t help but press his forehead. At that moment, he suddenly discovered with astonishment that segments of text information had appeared beside A Dai.

…

[Target Attributes]: Skeleton Archer, Lord, Evolvable Elite Skeleton.

[Target Class]: Second-tier Stone Skeleton.

[Target Equipment]: Companion Bone Longbow, Bone Long Arrows 36.

[Target Talent]:

Precise Shot—one of the archer talents. Regardless of the situation, it allows the user to hit the target more accurately.

[Target Secret Technique]:

Scatter—quickly fire indiscriminately in all directions. Attack speed is 1.5 times the normal speed, but accuracy is halved.

Multiple Arrows (Level 1)—upgradable skill. At level one, three bone arrows can be fired simultaneously, increasing the hit rate by 30%.

…

Seeing this information, Luo Yan was overjoyed. The previous introduction of “Whisperer’s Murmur” in the notebook had been far too brief. Luo Yan had not expected it to provide such detailed information. It listed not only “Class” and “Equipment,” but even “Attributes,” “Talents,” and “Skills.” This was truly unexpected.

The Strom family truly deserved their reputation as a former family of court wizards; their collectibles were indeed incredibly valuable. The significance of being able to understand the information of one’s summons in such detail for a wizard was self-evident. At the very least, Luo Yan had not known before that his A Dai was actually a Skeleton Lord!

Luo Yan now realized that the reason he could not summon other skeletons was likely related to A Dai’s “Lord” and “Evolvable Elite Skeleton” attributes. Whether it was “Lord” or “Evolvable Elite Skeleton,” although their future development paths were different, they actually had a very simple and direct name… a BOSS.

Yes, a BOSS. Possessing any of these two attributes made them very special existences among undead creatures—not just skeletons. Necromancers were accustomed to calling such special undead creatures “BOSSes.” At the very least, they were leader-level existences within their own species and possessed strong evolutionary potential. However, their numbers were naturally extremely rare; some necromancers might never encounter one in their entire lives.

If he had been able to summon such an undead creature before his rebirth, Luo Yan would have been overjoyed and incredibly excited. But now, he showed no particular excitement; instead, a look of confusion appeared on his face.

In that instant, a strange thought popped into Luo Yan’s mind. However, this idea was difficult to test right now; he would need to wait a bit longer.

[Could it be… Hmm… that’s impossible, right? But if it really is like that…]
