Age of Adepts

Chapter 136: Hidden worries

Views:

What happened in the depths of the volcano, no one knows.

However, the fully runaway volcanic world is no longer suitable for exploration and treasure hunting, but it is something people have seen. As a result, Greem mingled among the resentful foreign apprentices, and after handing over the mission, he secretly left the small town of Pamela.

When Greem successfully returned to the magic swamp as a quasi-witch, the entire tower shook.

Once upon a time, the name Greem was so unknown among the tower apprentices that many people were unaware of his existence. But now with his strong rise, some strong people who could only look up to in the past are now left behind by him, becoming the most dejected group of people.

Just when some people were still questioning the authenticity of the news, the Korgan wizard who represented the Sarubo family came to the swamp tower again and summoned Greem on the fifth floor. Not surprisingly, Greem's choice was exactly the same as Mary's, they both chose to serve the Sarupo family for 10 years in exchange for the necessary advancement resources.

Of course, if Greem is sure to obtain all the resources needed to advance to the official wizarding ceremony, then he can leave the Sarubo family now and choose to become a wanderer. However, with the current development trend of Sandi Tallinn, a more hostile and suppressive policy is generally adopted for wandering wizards and apprentices without family affiliation. Therefore, if Greem wants to pass his apprenticeship smoothly, it is still inevitable to join a wizard family.

As for the badge of the Byron family that Greem obtained in the dark crypt, it only represented that the Byron family was willing to protect him in the Dagon area, and did not sign a witchcraft contract to formally join the Byron family.

After seeing Wizard Korgan, Greem was taken back to his residence by Mary who heard the news as soon as he returned.

"Tell me, what did you do during this mission? How could it be possible to suddenly become a wizard?" Based on Mary's understanding of Greem, this guy has never been able to complete the mission smoothly, every time he was halfway Come up with a huge moth.

Greem just smiled without saying a word, but when he reached out and wiped the table, there were 1 large, 4 small, and 5 dark red mysterious crystals left on it.

"What is this?" Mary curiously reached out her hand to the largest one, but the moment her little hand touched the mysterious spar, she suddenly retracted it.

With a soft bang, a cluster of flames ignited on the mysterious spar, burning her fingers fiercely.

Even with Mary's vampire physique, the few fingers that touched the spar became scorched black. But she didn't care about it, she shook her slender hand lightly, and as the scorching marks subsided, her fingers became smooth and white again.

Mary didn't make a mistake hastily, but thought about it intently.

The attack just now was not driven by outsiders, nor was it some kind of witchcraft effect, but the spontaneous protective instinct of this spar. It's as if... as if it also has consciousness!

"What is this?" Mary asked again, and looked at Greem with an unkind expression, showing a pair of sharp canine teeth, as if to bite if there was any disagreement.

"Tier 2 crystal nucleus!" Greem said with a weird smile on his face.

Mary's delicate red lips murmured several times before she suddenly came to her senses: "Tier 2 crystal nucleus? Did you kill the Tier 2 monster? Where is the body? Has the blood been extracted? Come on... tell me quickly! "

"Uh..." Greem spread his hands and expressed speechlessness: "If I really encounter a level 2 monster, do you think I can come back alive?"

"That's true!" Mary smiled embarrassingly, a little surprised at her gaffe.

Who told her that she was in the most important transition period in a vampire's life, who told her that the fastest way to improve her strength was to suck the blood of the strong. The combination of these two was enough to make Mary become nervous, and she couldn't help becoming restless and frenzied when she heard the news of the powerful creature!

Of course, in Mary's eyes, Greem could barely be included in the ranks of the strong. However, Greem would not let her drink his own blood even though Mary said it was a hype. Because according to the inductive analysis of the chip, any individual whose blood has been sucked by a vampire will have varying degrees of damage to his own strength.

And these damages are most likely the key to the vampire's ability to evolve through blood-sucking!

In layman's terms, if Greem lets Mary suck his own blood, he will most likely lose attributes, and these are the two attributes he values most, physical and spiritual. In this regard, the Toril blood apprentice in the dark crypt is the most typical example.

Originally, that guy had already reached the peak of his apprenticeship, and was about to hold a wizard promotion ceremony, but he was defeated by Greem's golem combination. And such an injury would allow him to recuperate for a week or two at most before recovering. However, the feedback from the opponent's family indicated that the Toril quasi-shaman's mental strength had declined. Although it did not fall below 20 points, it was enough to affect his normal promotion.

Therefore, based on numerous blood cases, Greem has reason to suspect that the vampire family can leach the blood factor of the blood body through sucking blood, thereby strengthening themselves and weakening the enemy. Just imagine, under such circumstances, how dare Greem let Mary suck his own blood!

After exchanging messages with each other, Mary hurried into the mission hall again to find suitable apprentice missions for her. Greem, on the other hand, returned to his residence and began to listen to the work report of the goblin merchant Kirby.

In the nearly three months since Greem left, the Swamp Tower began to become active with the injection of external information and resources, and it was no longer as lifeless as before. Kirby also opened the first goblin store in the tower with the support of Mary.

There are not many products to choose from in the small shop, but all of them are rare resources that are not easily found by the outside world. In addition, Kirby recently also took up the idea of the group of middle and low-level apprentices, and began to buy at low prices the witchcraft materials and ordinary resources that they could not use for the time being.

However, if such a small shop wants to be fully operational, it needs a steady stream of high-end goods, otherwise it will be difficult to attract apprentices.

After listening to Kirby's report, Greem nodded in satisfaction, and casually released a lot of magic gems and materials from the storage belt, among which underground fire diamonds were the main ones. After all, compared with those apprentices who wander around the periphery of the volcano world all day long looking for treasures, Greem has gone deep into the lava sea countless times, and the chances of bumping into high-level magic gems there are much higher than them.

Most of the fire diamonds and magic gemstones on the periphery were also splashed and washed out from the lava sea when the volcano was active. After being captured and screened by flame organisms layer by layer, the color of course cannot be too good. And the fire diamonds that Greem brought back from the lava sea are usually fist-sized top-quality fire diamonds. There was even a giant fire drill carried by a human head that Greem threw to Kirby, asking him to find someone to find a way to carve it into the shape of a jade pillow.

In this way, Greem will meditate on it in the future, and the effect will definitely be better!

After Kirby happily left with his waist bag in his arms, the smile on Greem's face gradually receded, and he began to think seriously about an extremely important piece of information.

Within three months of Greem's departure, Wizard Anderson publicly announced that he had accepted the evil bug Entik as his disciple. And according to Kirby, during this period of time, the evil bug Entik has spent almost every day on the fifth floor of the Wizard Tower, and he doesn't know what he is doing there with Wizard Anderson!

Facing the two enemies that might merge, Greem's joy of just advancing to the quasi-sorcerer dissipated, and he felt the sense of urgency again. After advanced quasi-sorcerer, with the guarantee of the family contract, wizard Anderson may not dare to know how to do it himself, but it is possible to do some tricks secretly.

He walked so close to that evil bug Entik, did he want to use his hand to deal with him

Greem gave a wry smile.

Ever since he had a thorough understanding of the conflict of interests between Wizard Anderson and Mary, he knew that he would arouse Wizard Anderson's disgust sooner or later. I just didn't expect that the enemy moved so fast and so urgently!

In the eyes of these sinister and cunning wizards, all apprentices are just a bunch of walking materials. If it wasn't for the high-level wizards to restrain their behavior, I am afraid that this group of selfish guys would not be able to tolerate the appearance of new wizards to compete with them for scarce resources.

But no matter how the enemy plans, as long as the speed of progress exceeds their expectations, then any dangers and traps will disappear, and it will be difficult to shake the direction of progress.

After analyzing all of this, Greem immediately made a long work plan for himself in the following period. Under his arrangement, I am afraid that in the past six months, his daily time is full, and it is difficult to find any spare time.

In this mysterious alien world, in order to save his own life, Greem devoted all his energy and time to the study and study of witchcraft.

...

Kirby's room.

As soon as he came back from his master's residence, Kirby fell into an infinite frenzy!

Every time a magic gem is taken out of its bulging waist, it will dance happily, and after kissing repeatedly, it will take out the magic wand to test the properties and quality of the gem.

Looking at the gemstones piled higher and higher in front of him, Kirby felt so beautiful. At this moment, it can't wait to run to the owner again and kiss the tip of the owner's shoe passionately. Perhaps only in this way can the master truly experience Kirby's enthusiasm and loyalty!

But in this joyful process, there was also a small twist.

Kirby found a fist-sized mysterious white stone in the pile of gems thrown by his master. And no matter what method it uses to detect it, it can't detect its attributes, nor can it confirm what kind of magic gem or material or monster egg it is!

Even after detecting the magic wand, the feedback in the mind is nothing more than simple information such as "an unknown item from another world". Since the detection magic wand is said to be an item rather than a creature, it means that it is not a monster egg. And since the owner put it in the pile of gems, it must mean that it is worth a lot.

Goblin Kirby is most concerned about the "other world" mentioned in the information.

Could this be a mysterious gem from another plane

Kirby scratched his head, he could only throw the mysterious white stone on the table, and turned his head to deal with other gems.
