"Mister Duke, you're too courteous. If you have any questions, just ask." Fanny handed a chair to Duke and smiled faintly.
Duke's gaze swept over Han Shuo's body and naturally looked at Fanny. He didn't seem to care about Han Shuo at all and didn't take the chair Fanny handed him. He said courteously to Fanny, "I won't be sitting, I just came to ask you a small question. I'll be leaving after I've asked. Master Fanny, you've always studied necromancy magic, have you heard of the 'Eye of Darkness'? "
Han Shuo silently watched Duke from the side. He discovered that Duke's eyes were tightly glued to Fanny after he'd finished speaking, as if he wanted to glean some clues from Fanny's face.
Shaking her head, Fanny had a puzzled expression on her face and asked Duke instead, "What is this' Eye of Darkness'? Does it have something to do with our necromancy major?"
"Heh heh, it's just a small tool. I'm not too sure about the specifics either, so I couldn't help but ask you. Since you don't know, then forget it. Sorry to disturb you two." Duke wore a smile on his face after he'd said these words, nodded at Fanny and walked towards the door. Duke seemed to think of something again when he reached the door and asked carelessly, "Oh right, Master Fanny, I've heard that your necromancy major's library is together with the dark major's. Many years ago, the necromancy major was even stronger than the dark major. Does your necromancy major not have a library of its own? "
"Heh heh, Mister Duke, you said yourself that the necromancy major was strong many years ago. The necromancy magic that necromancers grasp is limited now and there aren't that many books to display." Fanny replied with a light smile and then paused, saying unintentionally, "Oh right, I've heard that our Academy also has a secret library. The books inside include the forbidden books of all the major majors and are secretly preserved by the Academy under the Empire's authorization. However, I've only heard other teachers mention it once and never knew where this secret library is hidden in the Academy. "
"So that's how it is. Then I'll be leaving first. I'll be staying at your Babylon Academy of Magic and Force in the near future anyway. If there were any more problems, would I still bother you? "
"It's my pleasure to serve you!"
From the looks of it, Du Ke really didn't recognize him. From the beginning to the end, Du Ke only glanced at him when he came in. After Du Ke left, Han Shuo secretly rejoiced in his heart.
"Alright, what questions do you have to ask?" After Duke left, Fanny glanced at Han Shuo and said in a bad mood.
The Space Ring glowed faintly. Han Shuo took out the questions he had prepared beforehand and sat on the chair that Duke hadn't sat on. Han Shuo started with the first question and asked Fanny.
As an adept necromancer, Fanny's grasp of theoretical knowledge was indeed very comprehensive. These questions that had been perplexing Han Shuo for a long time were easily solved by Fanny's explanations.
"Summoning zombies is a bit more troublesome than skeletons. Because zombies are larger and heavier, you'll need to expend more mental strength when summoning them. In addition, controlling zombies is more complicated than skeletons, and their bodies are much harder than skeletons. If you want to nimbly control them, you'll need to practice repeatedly … "Fanny's voice was gentle and beautiful as she focused on explaining to Han Shuo some things to take note of when summoning zombies.
Han Shuo's brow furrowed deeply when Fanny finished speaking and sank into deep thought. Fanny saw that Han Shuo was deep in thought and didn't make a sound to disturb Han Shuo.
After a while, Han Shuo breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "So it's because my mental strength isn't coordinated enough when I summon zombies. I've always been used to summoning skeletal warriors and always used the same strength of mental strength to communicate with the other dimension. It looks like this is the crux of the problem. I think I understand now."
After saying these words, Han Shuo started chanting the incantation to summon zombies under Fanny's gaze. After the first incantation, the figure of a zombie flashed in the void, and then disappeared in an instant. Han Shuo wasn't in a hurry and tried to control the strength of his mental strength. However, he didn't succeed even after four or five tries.
Fanny looked at Han Shuo with a cheerful smile on her face. She knew that Han Shuo had already understood the meaning behind her words and was now practicing to find a suitable strength of mental strength. Once Han Shuo felt the correct strength, he would be able to summon zombies completely.
"Forget it, there's no need to practice for now. Your direction is definitely on the right track, you just lack a bit of repetitive practice. I think you'll be able to grasp the zombie summoning magic when your mental strength is well controlled. Brian, it's only been two or three months and you've already reached the level of a novice mage. I've never heard of such a training speed in all my years of teaching in the necromancy major. "
"Then how do I compare to Fitch?" Under Fanny's persuasion, Han Shuo temporarily gave up on continuing his practice. He chuckled foolishly and looked at Fanny.
"Your silly smiling face makes me feel very awkward no matter how I look at it. Don't play dumb in front of me in the future. Oh, I would've forgotten about Fitch if you didn't mention him. I think he's very off right now and I'm worried that he'll hold a grudge and purposefully make trouble for you. You need to be careful in the near future. "Fanny first glared at Han Shuo with rebuke and then spoke to Han Shuo with a bit of worry.
"Don't worry, if Fitch really doesn't know what's good for him, I think he'll be the unlucky one in the end." Han Shuo shrugged and didn't care about Fitch's revenge at all. To be honest, Fitch, who was now a journeyman mage, was nothing in his eyes.
"Brian, I knew you'd be here. Come with me. Master Fanny, I have some business with him, hee hee. " Lisa's voice traveled in from outside at this moment. She walked directly in front of Han Shuo and grabbed Han Shuo's wrist, dragging Han Shuo outside.
Fanny felt a bit of resentment when she saw Han Shuo being forcibly dragged away by Lisa. It was as if someone had snatched away something precious from her, making her feel a bit uncomfortable.
"How do you know my cousin?" Lisa forcefully dragged Han Shuo towards a small plaza behind the library.
Han Shuo freed his shoulder from Lisa's grasp and looked suspiciously at her, "Your cousin? Who is he?"
"It's Lawrence. He's currently practicing martial arts in our School of Martial Arts. He specifically came to find you last time, but you weren't in the faculty. Who would've thought that he'd come looking for you as soon as you've returned? How do you know him? "
So it's him. This Lawrence is a bit strange. He clearly has the same strong master as Phoebe, but he's still studying at the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force. And he's only a journeyman knight even now. Han Shuo mused inwardly.
When he lowered his head, Han Shuo unintentionally saw Lisa's chest next to him. He saw that Lisa's originally flat chest was now quite shapely, and that bulging appearance clearly indicated that there was something inside.
"Eh … Lisa, are you wearing more clothes today? Why do I have the illusion that you're fully developed?" Han Shuo glanced at Lisa's chest and blurted out unconsciously.
"What, what do you mean?" Lisa was walking when she heard Han Shuo's words and was so surprised that she almost tripped. Her little face blushed as she glared fiercely at Han Shuo.
"Your chest was flat before and there was nothing at all. But it looks like it's swollen now. Did you stuff something inside? " Han Shuo thought to himself and then directly reacted to it with his mouth. He opened his mouth and gave the truest response from his heart.
He was extraordinarily angry! Lisa glared fiercely at Han Shuo and reached out with her little hand to firmly pinch Han Shuo's arm. She said through gritted teeth, "How can you say something like this and suspect that I've stuffed something inside? Do you want to die?"
Startled, Han Shuo suddenly realized what he'd said. Han Shuo had only thought about what he'd just said. According to Han Shuo's usual behavior, he would've kept it to himself and absolutely wouldn't have said something that would've surely angered the other and invited a rebuff to himself.
But who would've thought that the current situation would be so strange? It was clearly a reflection of his heart, but Han Shuo hadn't considered the consequences and had unknowingly blurted it out. This made Han Shuo feel exceedingly strange.
At the same time, a gossamer cool feeling suddenly filled Han Shuo's mind. Han Shuo's body trembled slightly as he suddenly understood why he'd blurted out these words. It was because after his magical yuan had reached the "molded spirit" stage, some peculiar phenomena had begun to occur.
Smiling wryly as he looked at Lisa who was grinding her teeth, Han Shuo's heart calmed down. He silently reminded himself to be careful and not speak carelessly. He then laughed dryly and said to Lisa, "Sorry Lisa, I was just joking with you. I didn't think that you'd really start developing. I'm truly happy for you."
"You're so annoying, saying such things to me!" Lisa immediately blushed when she heard Han Shuo's explanation. She then explained lowly, "Actually, I should be thanking you. I did everything according to what you said. Mm … so embarrassing. Anyway, that's how it was!"
Han Shuo shook his head and laughed involuntarily. He'd actually forgotten about the breast enlargement methods that he'd casually told Lisa before. He hadn't thought that they'd actually be effective. This made Han Shuo not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Hi, Brian, how are you?" Lawrence, who was in the distant plaza, saw Han Shuo and Lisa walk over at this moment and extended a hand in greeting from afar.
Lisa, who'd been blushing just a moment ago, hurriedly took a few deep breaths and surreptitiously sized up Han Shuo. She said in a small voice, "Lawrence's father is the Empire's finance minister and is quite close to His Majesty. It'll be beneficial for you if you interact more with him. I won't disturb you anymore."
Lisa seemed to be deathly afraid that Lawrence would see her blushing face after she'd finished speaking and jogged away in the direction of the training fields.
The son of the Empire's finance minister! Han Shuo was slightly startled and thought to himself that the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force was indeed a place of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. It looked like many future dignitaries were currently training in the various faculties of the Academy.
"I'm doing very well. I've heard that you've come looking for me twice. Heh heh, you can't be planning on spending another five gold coins to let me get beaten up by you all day, right? " Han Shuo and Lawrence weren't the only ones in the plaza. There were also a few students of various faculties in the distance, reading books in groups of twos and threes or leisurely basking in the sun.
"If you're willing, I don't mind spending another five gold coins. Heh heh, but I think you definitely won't agree right now!" Lawrence leaned on a stone railing and seemed quite at ease as he spoke to Han Shuo.
"Who says I'm not willing? However, I don't need five gold coins. I'll agree to train with you as long as you're willing to let me fight back. I was beaten up quite badly by you last time and I really want to redeem my face!" Han Shuo smiled faintly as he walked over and similarly leaned lazily on the railing. He spoke to Lawrence with a face full of interest.
"Oh, that's no problem. I can train with you when we're done talking business and see if you're really as strong as Phoebe says you are. "Lawrence also looked quite interested as he straightened his body and smiled.
"Alright then, I want to hear your business. We don't seem to have any interactions. What business do you have with me?" Han Shuo said.
Looking around and seeing that no one was paying attention to the two of them, Lawrence lowered his voice and stared at Han Shuo with sparkling eyes. "I heard from my junior sister that you seem to be able to get your hands on black iron ore. If that's really the case, I'd like to buy some from you. I don't need too much, just a piece the size of a fist will do. I'd originally wanted to have my junior sister buy it from you on my behalf, but I think that since we met last time and I'm quite curious about you, I'd like to make friends with you. That's why I've come to find you alone! "
Han Shuo looked at the sincere Lawrence and thought that since he was the son of the Empire's finance minister, he should be quite wealthy!
