Just like Kevinās private domain, the entrance here is also a reception room.
Even the corridor locations are the same; it seems to have been built according to a unified plan.
The difference is that Melosās stone door is inlaid with three Spirit Gems, two Magic Gemstones, and dozens of Demon Crystals, aside from the runes.
However, the Demon Crystals are already dim, with no magical power.
The two Magic Gemstones have also turned gray-white, resembling stones.
"Is this the Magic Guard on the door?"
Luo De couldnāt help but say, "It seems itās just depleted magical energy?"
Vivian shook her head and asked, "Shall I have my sister check?"
"No rush."
Luo De retracted his gaze, looking inside at the table and shelves.
On Melosās table, there were no empty ink bottles or parchment, but there was a skull the size of a duck egg and a pool of blood.
"Huh?"
Luo De instantly perked up, wanting to approach.
But then he thought it over and stopped.
To be cautious, Luo De softly recited a spell, and the hand of the Spellcaster appeared in mid-air.
Luo De controlled the Spellcasterās hand to gently pick it up.
Just then, a plume of black smoke suddenly burst from the skull, transforming into a sinister face that lunged at Luo De!
"Breath of Frost!"
A blast of ice-blue cold air sprayed out from Luo Deās ring, instantly freezing the black smoke in the air!
Vivian reacted swiftly, pulling out an embroidery needle to stab directly!
"Ow!"
A spine-chilling scream exploded instantly, the black smoke struggled violently, and countless ice shards flew everywhere!
Vivianās embroidery needle was indeed an Enchanted Sword, and every time Vivian attacked, she infused it with Shadow Power, so even without a physical form, it would cause harm!
Luo De didnāt give the black smoke a chance, raising his hand at once, the Blazing Energy quickly concentrated in his palm, and scorching flames burst forth to completely engulf the black smoke!
In the blink of an eye, the black mist burned into ashes, dispersing like dust in mid-air.
"What was that?"
Luo De frowned at the skull on the ground, "A ghost?"
"It seems like an Evil Spirit."
Vivian explained, "Ghosts arenāt this black."
Avril had studied necromancy books, so Vivian naturally knew a lot about the undead.
"Arenāt Evil Spirits supposed to be stronger?" Luo De asked doubtfully.
"Indeed."
Vivian nodded, her eyes full of doubt as well.
Evil Spirits are considered vicious among the undead, possessing some spellcasting abilities. Even intermediate wizard apprentices have to handle them carefully.
"Because we worked well together?" Vivian speculated.
Luo De chuckled lightly, not saying much, and picked up the skull again for a closer look.
"Thereās magical fluctuation but not much necromantic energy."
Luo De looked suspiciously at the small skull, "It doesnāt seem like a necromantic item... how could a ghost-like undead creature dwell inside it?"
No one could answer Luo Deās doubts at the moment.
Luo De could only put it away and shift his gaze elsewhere.
To his delight, Melosās bookshelf had quite a few grimoires.
"Preliminary Discussion on Spiritual Body Structure," "Circuit of Summoning and Guidance of Magic Patterns," "Method for Creating Mental Anchors," "Basics of Constructs and Introduction to Magic Dynamics"...
"Looks like Melos was researching spells related to undead and golems..."
A trace of a smile appeared on Luo Deās face; this was all knowledge he found interesting too.
His gaze skimmed over each tome on the shelf, finally stopping at a thin booklet in the corner.
Luo De curiously picked it up,
"Necromantic Purification Experiment Record."
