Witcher starts with Get Inspiration Panel

In an instant, Richard's soul wandered again. This time, he was still possessed by a rickety figure. He still chanted the spell to control the skeleton over and over again, but the focus had changed. This time, Richard's focus was on understanding how to control the skeleton. , perform daily actions.

After using it several times, Richard seemed to have a sudden enlightenment and was bursting with inspiration. It turned out that he wanted to subdivide his mental power into two tentacles, and control the left and right sides of the skeleton frame respectively with a certain rhythm.

But the difficulty of subdividing mental power and detecting one tentacle or two tentacles is completely different!

As a result, the rickety figure controlled the skeleton over and over again, first taking out the left foot, then the right foot. After slowly coordinating the steps, the arms also moved up.

After a long time, when Richard regained consciousness, he used the trick of controlling the skeleton again. Sure enough, the skeleton walked much smoother, more like a normal person.

After using it a few more times, Richard was able to completely grasp the walking control rhythm.

Suddenly, Richard beamed with joy and controlled the skeleton to run around the room "clicking".

For a moment, an idea flashed in his mind, and Richard controlled the skeleton to speed up to the chair, and struck the wooden chair back with his hand knife!

There was just a "click", a clear sound of wood splintering, and the hard chair back crossbar easily broke into two pieces.

Richard took a closer look, first carefully looking at the palm bones of the skeleton frame, and then looking at the break of the crossbar on the back of the chair, his eyes lit up.

The chairs equipped in the school dormitories are all made of black pine wood, which is strong and durable.

If he doesn't deliberately destroy it, Richard estimates that it can be used for decades without replacement, but even such a hard wood can be easily split by the skeleton he controls.

This should not only be because the skeleton given by Mei Luo was a quasi-knight in life and had a strong skeleton.

And it's more about the magic of witchcraft. It seems that under the control of mental power, the bone hardness of the skeleton has also been enhanced by some unknown reason!

Otherwise, Richard really didn't know how to explain that the palm bones were intact, but the almost equally hard and strong black pine wood was easily broken.

Immediately, in order to verify his guess, Richard controlled the skeleton and cut off the other two backrest bars of the chair.

When I checked the skeleton's palm bones again, they were indeed still white and intact, as good as new!

Richard looked happy, retracted his mental tentacles, picked out a bone from the pile of scattered bones, picked up the knight's sword and made a few gentle gestures.

Without the blessing of mental power, the bones were still not scratched. Richard was immediately surprised. It seemed that his previous guess was wrong.

Obviously, it is not because of his own spiritual blessing, but because this skeleton has been strengthened by some means.

Richard slapped his forehead and finally recalled what Mei Luo said before leaving, "This is the skeleton of a quasi-knight, which has been initially purified and strengthened."

The key should be in the words purify and strengthen!

Of course, there is also the word "preliminary", which indicates that the hardness of the bone should be further strengthened.

"Hey, I've only used it a few times, but I feel like it consumes a lot of mental energy!" Richard looked confused. Logically speaking, manipulating a skeleton should consume very little mental energy. How could it happen that more than half of his mental energy was consumed after just a few operations? Feel!

Is it possible that as the level of control of the trick of manipulating skeletons increases, the mental power consumed during manipulation will also increase?

No, no, it should be that the more complex the movements performed by manipulating the skeleton, the greater the mental power consumed. The longer the continuous control time, the greater the mental power consumed!

When he thought of this, Richard's face darkened and his brows furrowed.

From this point of view, I must make up for my lack of mental strength as soon as possible.

Otherwise, even if the skeleton can be controlled with great precision, if the time is too short, it will be of little practical value!

This is quite different from Richard's original plan of manipulating skeletons to kill everyone in the wild.

When I brought up the panel and took a look, I saw the [Witchcraft] column: Control Skeletons (roughly 14%).

It has already entered the second level, the superficial level.

Richard made a rough estimate, although the skeleton is much more flexible now, like a real person walking.

However, the corresponding mental power consumption is nearly 30% higher than that at the entry level. Almost every half hour, 0.4 units of mental power are consumed.

Converting this, it consumes 0.8 units of mental power per hour.

"Is it possible that the next level, the proficient level, requires more than one unit of mental power? Doesn't this mean that I can only maintain the skeleton for a maximum of two or three hours before I run out of mental power!"

Richard paced back and forth, thinking whether to further improve the trick [Skeleton Control] or to hold off for now.

After a long time, Richard's expression turned serious and he made up his mind.

No matter what, let's push the trick [Skeleton Control] to the proficient level first, because only by reaching the proficient level can we meet the subsequent practice standards of the zero-level witchcraft [Shadow Grasp].

You have to improve sooner or later, why not improve now!

Half a day later, Richard looked tired, haggard and exhausted, but when he saw the [Witchcraft] column displayed on the panel showing: Manipulation of Skeletons (Skill 16%), he felt extremely happy in his heart.

Richard raised his eyebrows, but he didn't see any movement. The skeleton next to him "thumped" and quickly ran to the desk like a 100-meter race.

Before Kankan hit the desk, he suddenly stopped and stopped ten centimeters away from the desk.

At this time, the skeleton stretched out his right hand, picked up a thick book on the table, then returned to Richard again and handed it to Richard.

The whole process is as smooth as a real person.

The skeleton picked up the knight's sword from the wall again, made a starting posture of Cornell's swordsmanship, and then began to perform each move in a formal manner.

With a skilled level of sleight of hand control, Richard can already control skeletons and make very complex movements, and the accuracy of his control has also been greatly enhanced.

The only disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of mental power. It is estimated that 1 unit of mental power is consumed per hour, but this is already less than Richard expected.

Looking at the skeletal frame in front of him that was performing Cornell's swordsmanship, Richard nodded slightly, with a satisfied smile on his face.

At present, the combat effectiveness of this skeleton under his mental control has reached the level of a quasi-knight.

The most important thing is that the skeleton he controls is so brave that he is not afraid of death!

Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, he will not hesitate to follow his will and go through fire and water!

However, Richard, who was planning to further improve his magic, brought up the panel and took a look at the energy consumed, and couldn't help but be surprised.

The energy points have dropped from the original 3505 to 2805, and a full 700 points have been consumed.

This hasn’t even gotten to the point yet - learning Rodrigue Meditation and Shadow Grasp, has this foreplay already consumed so much energy? ? ?

Richard was also speechless for a long time!

"This level of consumption far exceeds the inspiration trigger of a crossbow! It seems that the improvement of witchcraft consumes far more energy than basic skills!" Richard frowned and thought to himself.

Originally, he planned to continue to improve the control of skeletons to mastery or even higher levels if the energy consumption was not high!

But now it seems that we still need to think about it again.
