The wizard starts with the get inspiration panel

Chapter 244 Flying Mount
The supply point of the Ignis School is not only a place where the official wizards of the school receive monthly supplies and exchange them, but also has other uses.

For example, when posting tasks, if they are tasks at the ordinary apprentice level, these tasks will be immediately transferred to the task hall dedicated to apprentices.

At the same time, wizards can also issue tasks for the official wizard level at the material points.

The task type can be trading, purchasing or exploring ruins, etc.

The information that Richard posted at the school's supply point two days ago to purchase any flying mount was quickly learned by Raymond Soto.

At the same time, Raymond also passed the news to Gildas immediately. In the end, the news that Richard might be going out was passed on to the Death Hand, a killer organization.

It's just that Richard doesn't know the inside story.

In the past two days, Richard was busy concentrating the half-year puppetry course in these few days, while making some preparations, such as Lina's arrangements after he left.

The seat of the Ignis School.

in an office.

"Todd, did you catch a new giant nocturnal bat some time ago? How is the training going?"

Raymond Soto, a middle-aged man with a sinister face, asked a middle-aged black-robed wizard beside him.

The giant nocturnal bat is a mutant species among nocturnal bats. After mutation, it can barely reach the lowest level of extraordinary creatures.

Ordinary nocturnal bats are generally only about half a meter long, while giant nocturnal bats are two meters long, with a wingspan of about four meters. They are gray-black in color and their load-bearing capacity is not very strong. Carrying a fully armed heavy-armored knight may be a bit awkward. It was difficult, but carrying a wizard in black robes was no problem at all.

The main reason is that the nocturnal bat population is widely distributed and numerous in the silt swamps, so wild giant nocturnal bats can often be found, so the price is not particularly expensive.

"We just trained two days ago. Do you need anything?"

"How about transferring it to me?"

"Raymond, don't you have a flying mount hippogryph? Why do you still need my giant night bat?" The wizard named Todd asked in surprise.

You must know that the strength and popularity of the hippogryph are a whole level higher than that of the giant nocturnal bat.

"I'm useful. By the way, I heard that you are looking for fire flowers recently. How about ten fire flowers in exchange for your giant nocturnal bat?"

"make a deal!"

Todd looked happy!
Normally, the giant nocturnal bat he has trained is worth at most eight fire flowers. It is naturally a good thing that Raymond is willing to buy it at a premium this time.

As for what Raymond bought it for, it was naturally not something he needed to worry about.

After a while, when Raymond saw the giant nocturnal bat nearly two meters long in front of him, he nodded towards Todd, and he was making calculations in his mind.

"The giant night-walking bat is worth at least [-] magic stones, and there is no market for it. The purchase price of that kid Richard is only [-] magic stones. He will definitely not refuse this deal."

After Todd left, Raymond quickly took out a small glass jar containing gray powder from his pocket.

After uncorking the glass jar, Raymond walked around the giant night bat several times and sprinkled all the gray powder on the bat.

Since the body surface color of the giant nocturnal bat is also gray-black, after the gray powder is sprinkled on it, it cannot be seen from the appearance.

Moreover, the powder does not seem to have any particularly obvious smell. It is completely invisible under the cover of the giant nocturnal bat's own body odor.

Raymond did not cast any witchcraft on the giant night bat, because many wizards are very sensitive to subtle fluctuations in witchcraft, and he did not want to be noticed in advance.

After doing all this, Raymond quickly passed the news to Gildas.

It was exactly what Raymond expected.

When Raymond finished all this and entrusted a wizard from a better school to conduct the transaction with Richard, Richard, who had been on the purchase mission for three days, immediately agreed to the transaction.

This was a momentary oversight by Richard, and he took it for granted.

Because when he purchased the mutated winter wolf before, he only spent one thousand magic stones, so this time he listed a price of three thousand magic stones for the flying mount.

But in fact, with three thousand magic stones, even the cheapest flying mount cannot be purchased.

So after a few days, naturally no one took the order.
-
afternoon two days later.

After all the preparations were in place, Richard said goodbye to Seles, Lina, Ophelia and everyone else, and set off for Pentos, the "City of Griffins".

Leaping onto the back seat of the giant night-flying bat, Richard pulled the reins.

Suddenly, the bat's huge fleshy wings began to flap, creating a huge upward momentum.

A few seconds later, a gray-black shadow shot straight into the sky!
Richard lowered his head and looked down at the rapidly shrinking Ignis School station, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

This was his first time riding a flying mount, and it felt like flying on a plane in his previous life.

Only half an hour later, Richard left the mud swamp and came to the black forest area.

If this had been done before, it would have taken about half a day to travel.

This speed is almost five to six times that of the previous land mount!
While admiring the scenery below, Richard was thinking about some matters after arriving in Pantos.

"Wow!"

Since the giant nocturnal bat mainly relies on gliding, it flies almost silently. Richard keenly heard that the sound of wind from behind seemed to be mixed with the sound of subtle flapping of wings.

Richard immediately turned his head and looked back.

I saw a small black dot appearing above the horizon where the sky and the black forest meet, approaching Richard quickly.

Although the distance was far away, Richard's keen eyesight could already see clearly that the other party was a man in black robes, riding a swamp flying dragon mount.

This immediately made Richard feel surprised. Could it be a chance encounter?
Richard's giant night bat is good at gliding silently and circling and turning in various ways, which is a dexterous flying mount.

In terms of speed, it is not that good at it. At least compared to the swamp flying dragon, there is still a certain gap in flying speed. Seeing that the opponent is getting closer and closer.

Richard immediately controlled the giant night bat to adjust its direction, shifting 45 degrees to the right.

If the other party's target is him, then the other party will inevitably adjust its direction accordingly.

Sure enough, within a few seconds, after observing that Richard adjusted his flight direction, the other party immediately adjusted his direction accordingly.

This made Richard immediately certain that the other party's target must be him.

Gildarts?

Or is it the Soto family?

The names of several enemies popped up in Richard's mind.

Also, how did the other party know that he was out and track him so quickly?

You must know that what you are riding this time is a flying mount. If it is not marked with some kind of mark, it is almost impossible to be tracked.

Richard immediately realized that his newly purchased mount might have been tampered with.

"This is my first time flying a flying mount, and my own flying mount is obviously a level lower than the opponent's swamp dragon. It is not wise to directly engage in aerial combat."

Taking another look at the swamp flying dragon that became increasingly clear in the rear, Richard decided that since he was going to fight, he would choose a favorable venue.

"If you want to give full play to your combat power, the ground is the best."

I saw a small lake in the black forest ahead, reflecting the evening sun and giving it a golden light.

Richard drove the giant nocturnal bat and swooped down towards the lake, and soon disappeared into the black forest next to the lake.

The giant nocturnal bat was immediately placed in a hidden place by Richard. It served as his flying mount during the long journey. If it died in the battle, it would be troublesome.

At this moment, Richard was standing leisurely in the woods with mottled light and shadow, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Suddenly, he looked up at the sky above the forest.

The sky above him suddenly darkened.

A swamp flying dragon with a wingspan of nearly ten meters appeared above him.

Suddenly, the air flow surged. Due to the tall trees and lush leaves in the forest, it was transmitted to Richard's side, which was just a breeze blowing on his face.

"Hey~ He actually stopped running!"

A hoarse male voice sounded from the flying dragon mount.

Since Richard was still under the effect of the fluctuation-suppressing potion at this time, in the eyes of the man in black robe, Richard was just a weakling who had just been promoted to an official wizard.

The fluctuations emanating from the body are completely consistent with the level of a first-level first-level wizard mentioned in the mission information.

Therefore, he felt that Richard's behavior of standing in the woods, waiting for him to come to his door, was undoubtedly an act of suicide.

I saw the man in black robe leaping down from the swamp flying dragon for more than [-] meters. His body was strong and strong, and he landed silently.From the hem of the opponent's black robe that fluttered when he jumped down, Richard discovered that under the opponent's black robe was a set of tight-fitting dark leather armor.

This kind of attire with a black robe and leather armor does not look like a wizard in the ordinary sense, but more like an assassin.

"It's a pity that the genius of the Ignis School will die today!"

The man in black robe glanced at Richard and muttered to himself, his words full of absolute confidence in himself.

It seemed that in his eyes, Richard was already a dead man.

"Who sent you here?" Although he knew that the other party would not say it, Richard still asked. He heard clearly what the other party said to himself just now.

This shows that the other party must have been commissioned by someone or an organization to kill him.

However, as Richard expected, the man in black robe completely ignored Richard's question and launched an attack directly.

A black smoke suddenly appeared around the man in black robe, and became more and more intense. The next second, it condensed into a huge black skull in mid-air, and quickly attacked Richard who was not far away.

Richard flashed the green inverse pentagram array under his feet, and a three-meter-tall, newly made blood and bone puppet appeared in front of him.

It just so happened that Richard also wanted to take this opportunity to test the combat effectiveness of the new puppet.

As soon as the blood and bone puppet appeared, it rushed towards the black skull.

Seemingly seeing Richard actually using the physical attack of the undead summons to resist his black mist skull, the man in black robe couldn't help but sneer.

Sure enough, when the black skull encountered the blood and bone puppet, it dissipated again and turned directly into several streams of black mist. After passing through the blood and bone puppet, it gathered into the black skull again and continued to kill Richard.

"Psychic shock!" Richard thought silently in his heart.

In an instant, a transparent energy wave shot from in front of Richard towards the black skull.

"boom!"

The black skull seemed to let out a scream, and died together with the transparent energy fluctuations.

"Hey! He actually blocked it!"

The man in black robe seemed to find it a bit unbelievable that none of his witchcraft was successful. Finally, he began to look at Richard seriously.

"What! He's actually a first-level high-level wizard!"

Due to Richard's witchcraft, the effect of the fluctuation-suppressing potion he had taken before naturally dissipated, and the first-level high-level aura appeared unabashedly in front of the man in black robe.

The man in black robe immediately looked horrified!
"Sprint and cast Bone Blade Storm!" Richard gave the order to the blood and bone puppet.

"Swish!"

The sharp bone blades on the elbows, knees and other joints of the blood-bone puppet quickly ejected like spring knives.

The blood-bone puppet stretched out its arms and pushed the bone blade to the outermost side. Its entire body was like a top, spinning rapidly, forming a storm of bone blades and killing the man in black robes directly.

Immediately, the man in black robe was in a hurry, tearing open three scrolls in a row, and throwing the protection on the witchcraft one after another.

At the same time, he quickly pulled out two black corrugated daggers from his waist and started fighting with the blood and bone puppet.

"jingle clang clang!"

Sparks fly!

Although the man in black robe waved his double daggers to resist, the colorful protective witchcraft on his body was still quickly defeated one by one in the face of the blood and bone puppet's bone blade storm.

Moreover, the black robe on his body was quickly torn apart. The broken black robe was like flying butterflies, flying all over the sky. Soon the black robe was completely broken, revealing the dark tight leather armor on his body.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How can the strength of your summons be so strong?!"

The calmness and calmness of the man in black robe at the beginning had long since disappeared, and he was cursing in his heart.

"The information channels of the Hand of Death are shit!!"

"You actually said that the other party is just a newly promoted first-level wizard! The newly promoted wizard of the Ma family is a high-level first-level wizard!"

Originally, the man in black robe thought that he would be able to fight with all his strength. Even if Richard was a high-level warrior, he would not be unable to fight.

But unfortunately, I haven't even fought against the real master yet, and I can't even defeat the opponent's undead summons.

"His!!"

The sound of bone blades rapidly cutting the air sounded!

Another few seconds passed.

There were a few more bloodstains on the black-robed man's body. This was because he had worked hard for many years and moved quickly.

If it were any other mid-level first-level wizard, he would have been torn to pieces by this terrifying undead summon.

But when the situation reached this level, the man in black robe naturally had no idea or confidence to continue fighting.

It's a pity that he can't take out the smoke bomb from his arms now, nor can he whistle for the swamp dragon above his head to pick him up.

Because at this moment, if he was distracted for a moment, it would be the end of his life.

But if no measures are taken, he will only run out of energy and die by mistake.

The face of the man in black robe was twisted, as if he was making some kind of determination.

The next second, the black corrugated double daggers in his hands collided heavily with the bone blades of the blood and bone puppet. The force of the impact flew back several steps, giving him a slight opening.

But this time, there were four more blood holes in his body. They were injured by the bone blades at other joints of the blood-bone puppet. At this moment, blood was flowing out!

"call out!!"

I saw him put the back of the little finger of his right hand upwards, put it into his mouth, and blew quickly.

A sharp whistle sounded!
Richard noticed that the huge black shadow above began to move and quickly swooped down towards the position of the man in black robe.

Obviously, the opponent's whistle caused the swamp flying dragon in mid-air to quickly fly to respond.

Looking at this scene, Richard's expression did not change at all, but he was slightly happy.

"Just in time to try out a new witchcraft!"

As a short syllable sounded.

A fist-sized black energy ball appeared on the tip of Richard's right index finger, and it was constantly absorbing the surrounding dark element energy.

The swamp flying dragon leaned down at this moment and passed by the man in black robe.

The man in black robe quickly jumped up and jumped onto the soft cushion on the flying dragon's back. This made him look relaxed. He looked at the blood and bone puppet a few meters away and couldn't stop him. He couldn't help laughing loudly:
"Richard Clavell, you have hidden so much. Unfortunately, your secret will soon be revealed."

"Pfft!"

A black beam of light instantly penetrated the abdomen of the swamp flying dragon and emerged from its back, but it was not over yet. The black beam of light narrowed slightly and then penetrated the chest of the man in black robe, killing him who was speaking nonsense. , directly hit hard!
This extremely penetrating witchcraft is the new witchcraft that Richard learned in the Ignis School - the death ray!
The super single-target damage and penetration have been verified in actual combat.

"Ow!!"

After the swamp flying dragon let out a cry, it was no longer able to wave its pair of ten-meter flesh wings, and with the black-robed man behind it, it rushed directly into the woods with the inertia of the dive.

For a moment, a tree was broken!
"Crackling!"

As more than a dozen tall trees broke, a dragon and a man were lying on the ground in a mess, surrounded by a mess, and the broken trees were staggered around them.

Richard stepped forward slowly.

At this moment, the hood on the man in black robe was gone, and there was a handsome male human with a pale face, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He covered the big hole in his chest with one hand, supported the ground with the other, and still tried to get up.

But after trying several times in a row, they all fell to the ground.
"Who sent you here?"

The same question rang in the black-robed man's ears again, but this time it touched the black-robed man's heart completely differently from the last time.

"If you say so, I can let you die more happily! Since you know that I come from the Ignis School, you should know that this is one of the colleges of necromancers in the mainland. Even if you commit suicide, I can use many methods to make you die. Torture your spirit body.”

The man in black robe glanced at Richard's calm face and felt a chill in his heart.

When I thought about the shitty mission information about Hand of Death, I felt resentful in my heart. I murmured twice with bloodless lips and said:
"Someone has issued a mission in the Hand of Death to kill you! And I am the killer of the Hand of Death."

"That's all I know!"

The next second, a black beam of light penetrated the head of the man in black robe.

Richard gave the other party a pleasant surprise directly!
"It's a pity for this swamp flying dragon. Otherwise, we could use another mount."
