Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots Chapter 1241 - 501: See You Again in Dreams

"Thank you for your guidance, Professor."
He sincerely expressed his gratitude to Uther:
"Tonight’s conversation gave me a brand new understanding of this world."
"These are things you should know."
Uther nodded gently:
"Now you are standing at the threshold of truly entering a higher realm.
This knowledge will be your foundation for survival and development in that world."
When the two walked out of the data room, the Abyssal Observation Station’s corridor was unusually silent.
Only the faint glow from the Magic Crystal Lamp cast long shadows on the smooth walls.
Ron, filled with emotions, returned to his private room.
.........
Late at night, all was silent.
He sat alone at his desk, facing the "Extraordinary Comprehensive Guide."
The Magic Crystal Lamp in the room was adjusted to its lowest brightness, enveloping the entire space in a tranquil and mysterious ambiance.
Following Uther’s teachings, he began to attempt "Inquiry" using Spiritual Power.
First, concentrating his Spirit, he began to ponder one of his current areas of interest — Necromancy.
This is a field filled with taboo colors and is also the area where he encountered the most restrictions during his reading.
Ron gently stroked the cover of the "Extraordinary Comprehensive Guide," the giant eyeball slowly rotating, gazing at his face.
"I want to understand the deep secrets of Necromancy."
He sincerely expressed his request in his heart:
"Not for evil purposes, but to understand the essence of life and death, to explore the truth of the soul."
After a few seconds of silence, the book pages began to turn by themselves.
But to Ron’s surprise, the opened pages were not densely packed with text but a stunningly beautiful illustration.
In the picture, a skeleton was wearing a soft silk robe and a cute striped nightcap, comfortably lying on a luxurious four-poster bed.
It was yawning, and the chaos in its hollow eye sockets actually showed signs of sleepiness.
The skeleton held a small book in its hand, seemingly ready for some bedtime reading.
At the bottom of the illustration, a line of words was written with floral script:
"Closed today, see you in dreams."
Ron stared at the image, unsure whether to cry or laugh.
A mystical tome containing cosmic secrets was avoiding questions like a sleepy student using an excuse.
"Perhaps my Spiritual Power input wasn’t enough."
He analyzed in his heart, deciding to increase his input intensity.
This time, he chose a concept with a more powerful feeling — "Unlock the Seal."
Since Necromancy knowledge is restricted by some mechanism, directly challenge the limitation itself.
Ron injected more Spiritual Power into the pages, constructing a strong intention of "breaking obstacles" in his consciousness.
The pages started to turn again, but the response was entirely different this time.
The page revealed a breathtakingly intricate lock.
This lock was woven from flowing shadows and solidified light.
The shadow part gently wriggled like a liquid, while the light part gleamed like a Crystal.
The two opposite Elements achieved an incredible harmonious unity on this lock.
The shape of the lock was incredibly complex and beautiful, its surface engraved with countless tiny Runes, each Rune constantly changing shape and meaning.
But what perplexed Ron the most was that this seemingly precise lock had no visible Keyhole.
No traditional lock cylinder, no rune groove, not even any part for insertion, rotation, or activation.
As he attempted to analyze its internal structure using Spiritual Power, a more bizarre phenomenon occurred.
The lock’s structure began to change in real-time, seemingly self-adjusting based on his perspective and depth of understanding.
Whenever he thought he had grasped the principle of a certain part, that part would become more complex, generating new layers and mechanisms.
It’s like an ever-evolving puzzle, consistently maintaining a level of complexity one step higher than the observer.
Ron could sense the lock silently mocking his overconfidence.
"Dare to provoke me back?" Frustration triggered his rebellious psychology.
If gentle communication doesn’t work, let’s try a more direct approach.
He took a deep breath, focusing all his will, attempting to "command" the book with a forceful Spiritual impact to give answers.
"I need knowledge about Necromancy, give it to me now!"
This almost rough mental intrusion immediately provoked a violent reaction from the book.
The eyeball on the cover suddenly widened, flashing obvious anger.
The pages began to turn frantically, emitting a subtle sound like cicada wings.
The flipping speed increased rapidly, finally blurring like a whirlwind, and then suddenly stopped.
Fixed on a ten-page-long "academic paper."
Ron took a closer look and was almost amused by the content.
The title of the paper was written in solemn academic font:
"On How to Perform Dental Care and Polishing for a Slime Slug"
Subtitle: "Innovative Research Based on Cross-Species Oral Hygiene"
The most laughable part was that the illustration style of this "paper" was as rigorous as a formal medical textbook.
Detailed anatomical diagrams showcased the slug’s "oral structure," with precise annotations pointing out the locations of each "tooth."
Every care step was drawn meticulously:
How to choose the appropriate miniature toothbrush;
How to mix a special mouthwash;
How to perform polishing treatment to ensure the "teeth" shine...
