Since the completion of the last mandatory mission, the Swamp Tower is like a silted waterway that has suddenly been opened up, and the running water outside has naturally begun to affect the internal life here.
Obviously Wizard Anderson is not happy to see this kind of change, but facing the will of the entire Sandalin, even the third-level wizard of the Sarubo family behind him dare not obstinately disobey, so what can he do!
Therefore, during the period when the trial apprentices returned one after another, the long-abandoned mission hall of the Swamp Tower was opened again. And the task panel here is scrolling and refreshing countless instant tasks every day, ranging from high-level tasks to encircle and suppress wild wizard-level monsters that only quasi-wizards can participate in, down to those that collect resources, expel monsters, investigate weird events, etc. trivial tasks.
It can be said that even in the central part of the mainland, which is the main settlement area of human society and has been matured, there are hundreds of staggering and weird incidents happening every day. Either a monster was found near a border town, or a wild village suffered an inexplicable attack, or an expedition team discovered a wild resource point...
But for any such incidents, the Sand Tower Forest will include them in the internal system and issue limited-time tasks to the wizard apprentices in the entire central part of the continent. Using this method, the apprentice resources in the central part of the mainland were fully mobilized. It not only trained the apprentices, but also solved the hidden dangers of the border. In disguise, it also shared a considerable guardianship task for the official wizards.
Greem was able to take his temper and squat in the residence without moving an inch, gradually consolidating his foundation of witchcraft. But Mary and Kirby couldn't do it, so during this period of time, they were like prisoners with red eyes, soaking in the mission hall every day, silently screening their favorite missions.
After all, Mary is taking the route of a bloodline wizard. It is undoubtedly too slow to rely solely on the accumulation of witchcraft knowledge. Only by constantly devouring the blood of the strong is the smooth road for her to become stronger quickly. Therefore, she is the most enthusiastic and diligent in selecting tasks. In less than a month, she has already completed two tasks and earned 20 contribution points for herself.
It's a pity that the missions she chose were all around the swamp tower. This place is already highly developed by human society. Even if there are occasional monsters or monsters breaking into here, it is impossible for a quasi-witch-level monster to appear alone, so she has to set her sights a little further.
Soon, a suitable task jumped into her eyes.
In the Woodmaw Fortress 7,000 miles away, a camp of lycanthropes that migrated from the depths of the forest suddenly appeared, so the local area also issued a mission to recruit quasi-witches or senior apprentices, preparing to clean up the camp.
When Mary enthusiastically invited Greem to go with her, Greem refused.
As an elemental wizard preparing to specialize in the fire escape system, Greem felt that his mission selection needed to be more targeted. The last immersion in the lava pool at the bottom of the dark crypt benefited him a lot, so he decided to find a volcanic environment to continue the evolution of his fire-bathed body.
He has a feeling that he wants to be a safe and advanced wizard, and this body in flames means a lot to him.
Fortunately, on the third day after Mary left excitedly, Kirby, who had been squatting in the quest hall, ran back immediately to find Greem, and a quest suitable for him appeared!
This is a less dangerous resource-gathering mission, and the mission takes place inside a regularly erupting volcano. Located on the eastern edge of the Sidney region, the Cotopaxi volcano is rich in high-quality fire diamonds and is also a major source of income for the local wizarding families.
Cotopaxi Volcano is a powerful active volcano, which is extremely dangerously active for 9 out of 12 months of the year. At this time, even the wizards were unwilling to venture into its interior. Only during its brief three-month hiatus did Cotopaxi calm down a little, giving nearby wizard families the chance to enter it to collect fire drills.
Although those three months were a temporary period of volcanic activity, the temperature inside the volcano was still astonishingly high. Moreover, most of the underground fire drills are on the edge of the lava pool or floating inside the lava pool. Of course, ordinary people cannot do it if they want to collect them. Only those senior wizard apprentices who have elemental resistance can do it.
Therefore, in order to increase the production rate of underground fire drills more efficiently during the annual volcanic rest period, the local wizard family not only sends their own family members to collect them, but also releases collection tasks to the outside world. Any apprentice who enters the Cotopaxi Volcano only needs to turn in a certain share of the underground fire diamonds after the mission is over, and the rest can be used as their own mission rewards.
So every year before the volcano enters the rest period, it is the time when this task is released immediately!
Greem rushed to the quest hall and accepted the quest to collect the underground fire drills almost without thinking. Looking at the mission prompt, this mission is only open to 20 places, and Greem is the 19th apprentice to take the mission. Almost as soon as he clicked on the task, the task disappeared from the panel.
20 places are full!
The mission required that they must rush to the Sidney area mission point to report within 15 days, so time was tight, and Greem immediately began to arrange related matters.
The first is how to place Goblin Kirby.
Goblin Kirby is timid and cowardly, not a qualified fighter, but rather interested in becoming a goblin businessman. For this reason, Greem left Kirby in the Swamp Tower, and put all his temporarily unused resources in it.
Like the magic gems brought back from the dark crypt, like the witchcraft equipment pulled from the corpse of the fallen apprentice, like Greem's remaining 4 bottles of concentration potion... These things are no longer suitable for Greem's current choice Therefore, it is simply handed over to Kirby, and it will become the treasure of its newly opened goblin shop.
In the eyes of those quasi-witches from big families, these things may really be nothing, but in the high tower of the swamp where resources are scarce, almost from the day the goblin shop opened, it has become a fanatical pursuit of all middle and low-level apprentices magical place.
Concentration Potion? !
what is this? Why never heard of it? Drinking a bottle of potion can increase one's mental power by 0.5-0.7, this... How can there be such a magical witch potion in this world
As for the so-called side effects of the concentration potion, in the eyes of this group of apprentices who have done everything they can to improve their strength, it is nothing at all! You must know that in the Swamp Tower, most of the wizard apprentices' spiritual power gains through meditation every day are usually 2 or 3 digits behind the decimal point.
After all, there are very few guys like Greem who can enter deep meditation every time, so a 0.5 increase in mental power means 3 months of hard meditation for them.
In the past, what could only be achieved after three months of hard meditation, now only needs a bottle of potion to achieve. How could such a miraculous thing not cause them to go crazy!
It's a pity that the high price made them discouraged, and they could only watch eagerly as the eagle-eyed Clutha took all 4 bottles of medicine into his arms in one go.
The effect of concentration potion on advanced apprentices is obviously not as obvious as that on intermediate apprentices, but for Clutha, any improvement in spiritual power is so precious to him. Because his current mental strength is already 18 points, as long as he can improve it a little bit, maybe he can also become a quasi-witch-level existence.
Most of the junior and middle-level apprentices can't get high-end products like Concentration Potion, but they are also dazzled by the voluminous witchcraft resources and magic materials. Greem may only care about the fire-type witchcraft equipment that he can use, but Goblin Kirby is never picky.
It used the first bucket of gold it had accumulated to buy a large number of local specialties in the dark crypt. As soon as it was displayed in its own goblin shop, it immediately triggered a mad rush by the tower apprentices.
Iron tree branches with +1 life recovery speed, intelligence cloak with +1 mental power recovery speed, ogre gloves with +1 strength, speed boots with +1 agility, small antidote, gem of true sight that can detect invisible creatures...
Although these witchcraft equipments are not of high grade, they are extremely suitable for junior and intermediate apprentices, and the price is within the limit they can afford. Therefore, as soon as it was launched, there was an upsurge of panic buying in the swamp tower.
And the name of Goblin Kirby has also quickly started!
A goblin with such a "huge" wealth is of course extremely enviable. But anyone with a little brain knows that standing behind this goblin is a quasi-witch and a senior apprentice. As long as their brains haven't burned out, they will know that offending this goblin is tantamount to offending the terrifying evil star of the Blood Queen.
So after the goblin Kirby was settled, Greem packed his bags and left the swamp tower quietly.
For a distance of 7000 miles, if Greem can reach there before the end of the mission, it would be good if he only relies on walking or carriage. So after Greem left the magic swamp, he quickly found a public flying point in a nearby small town.
There is an airship to ride here!
The so-called airship is several grades worse than the flying boat belonging to the Wizarding Association last time, but it is the most convenient mode of transportation in the central part of the mainland. When Greem saw the airship for the first time, the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch.
This... Isn't this the large hot air balloon on the earth in the previous life
A long cigar-shaped huge sphere floated above, and the balloon was obviously sewn with special Warcraft fur. Hanging below the balloon is a huge cabin, the bottom layer is loaded with cargo, and the upper layer is occupied by people, which is quite magical and mysterious.
Of course, the cost of taking an airship is expensive, and ordinary goods cannot be boarded on an airship at all. And so it is with people. Those who can book a room on the airship and enjoy a luxurious and romantic flight are either the nobles of human society, or those wealthy businessmen who travel around, or even the apprentice wizards who are running around.
