Age of Adepts

Chapter 148: Proud little girl

Views:

Like the last calm before a super storm, the atmosphere in the swamp tower is quite strange.

In a small wizard family resource point, all the wizard apprentices add up to no more than 49 people, and 3 of them are junior apprentices who have just learned meditation.

It was among such a group of apprentices with low overall strength that four famous quasi-shamans unexpectedly appeared out of thin air. Moreover, if any of these four quasi-witches is pulled out, I am afraid that they can be regarded as outstanding in the group of quasi-witches. Such a weird situation would make people scream evil in any place!

After all, any quasi-wizard needs to consume a lot of resources to be able to appear, and to become a wizard, they need a lot of resources and a little luck at the same time. With the current status of the Swamp Tower, it is a fluke to be able to support a quasi-shaman, let alone four in one breath.

Perhaps because of the existence of these four quasi-witches, the Sarubo family attached more and more importance to the magic swamp. In addition to the quest hall, Kroot's Secret Magic House, Popolier Trading Company, Defens Gourmet Association, Fenrir Pet Shop... These shops and trading companies specially opened for wizard apprentices have also entered the Swamp Tower one after another.

And among them, the goblin shop opened by Goblin Kirby is also booming.

The difference is that from time to time there will be one or two exquisite items in Kirby's goblin shop, or magic gems, or witchcraft materials, or witchcraft equipment. In short, no matter which one it is, it will cause many middle and high-level apprentices to rush for it.

As for that unattractive goblin Lord Kirby, he also has a lofty status among the tower apprentices that outsiders can hardly match. Not for anything else, just because of the three quasi-shamans standing behind it, no one in the swamp tower dared to provoke it.

Ever since Alice became a member of the High Tower, she originally thought that Greem would drive her to do this and that every day. Who knew that since that day, she had never seen this nominal "master" again. To her surprise, this Greem turned out to be a secluded mansion. Every day he either hides in his residence to read books, or spends his days in the alchemy laboratory secretly tinkering with something.

And his three meals a day are delivered to the residence by Goblin Kirby himself, and he doesn't show up at all on weekdays. Although this made Alice feel a little less embarrassed about meeting her, it also made her feel a little sullen about being left out.

In a few days, Alice interrogated Goblin Kirby over and over again, digging out all Greem's deeds from his fortune to the present. In addition, she also used her status as a quasi-witch to learn about Greem's early actions from several high tower apprentices.

It can be said that the more you know, the more confused Alice is!

If people have their own encounters in their life, then Mary's life trajectory is clear at a glance.

Mary's truly noteworthy apprenticeship all began with that witchcraft experiment. Before becoming a vampire, her life was lackluster. After becoming a vampire, she began to soar into the sky, directly jumping from the elementary level to the advanced level, before becoming a quasi-witch.

So, what changed Mary's life was the weird witchcraft experiment led by Wizard Anderson!

From these messages, Alice can clearly see the development of Mary, and can also estimate the height she may reach in life based on her actions. Everything is so clear and intuitive!

But such a set of theories doesn't make sense for Greem!

The turning point of Greem's change was almost in the same order as Mary's. He seemed to have some kind of magical power suddenly overnight. This often made Alice wonder if Wizard Anderson did something to Greem while Mary was experimenting. Otherwise, his changes in the following period of time are simply too amazing!

During the three-month mission period, he grew from a junior apprentice to a senior apprentice, and also passed through the mediocre intermediate apprentice stage. And his winning trick is the elemental puppets that are all-powerful. As for himself, he obviously followed the path of an elemental wizard.

Alice still had a fresh memory of the elemental puppets in Greem's hands. Her two disastrous failures were all thanks to these nasty elemental puppets!

The quantity is sufficient, the variety is great, and the power is powerful and extremely targeted!

This is Alice's personal evaluation of these elemental puppets.

It stands to reason that such an elemental puppet, if operated in the way of elemental life summoning, not only requires special witchcraft rituals, but also requires the summoner to bear a huge mental burden.

Alice also noticed that every time Greem summoned an elemental puppet, he needed an elemental crystal core as a witchcraft material, and the runes on the crystal core looked like they had been deeply modified. Therefore, she dared to conclude that the deep secret that made Greem so powerful must be hidden on these crystal nuclei.

For this reason, she intentionally wanted to get closer to Greem and get more answers from him to unravel these fogs. It's a pity that Greem turned out to be a deep-seated man who hardly ever went out of the house, making her, the titular personal maid, completely useless.

So, after holding back for 7 days, Alice snatched the dinner plate from Goblin Kirby and stood at the door of Greem's residence instead. The only one who can freely enter and leave Greem's residence is that nasty Mary. Even the goblin Kirby needs Greem's permission to enter every time he delivers food.

Not long after, Greem finally lifted the protection on the portal after sensing Alice's mental fluctuations.

Reaching out to push open the door, Alice strode in with a tray.

The room is still as simple as I am.

It's even messier than last time!

It was clearly daytime, but the lighting crystal on the wooden table still glowed with a bright but not dazzling soft light. This couldn't help but make Alice wonder, did the other party have been busy since last night and didn't take a break at all

Abandoned parchment scrolls were discarded on the ground, some were rolled together, some were spread out, and some were kneaded into a ball... Each of them was depicted with dense and complicated rune lines and mysterious witch formations. Alice didn't have much research on witch formations, so she felt headaches when she saw this kind of highly professional and mysterious knowledge.

Standing on tiptoe, carefully avoiding the debris thrown all over the floor, Alice came to the wooden table.

The wooden table was also so messy, there were witchcraft books spread out everywhere, one on top of the other, one on top of the other, almost covering most of the table. And that Greem was kneeling in front of the table, silently scribbling something on a piece of parchment stroke by stroke.

But it's clear that things aren't going well for him.

Halfway through painting, he lifted the parchment and examined it vigorously, then shook his head and cursed in a low voice, crumpled the parchment and threw it behind him.

Alice tilted her head to avoid the ball of paper that hit her head, and angrily placed the dinner plate heavily on the wooden table. Due to her "carelessness", the pile of high piles of books finally collapsed.

Uh... what's the situation

Greem raised his head and glanced around in confusion, but his sullen eyes met Alice's provocative eyes.

"Huh? When did you come?" Greem rubbed his temples, feeling a tingling pain in his head.

Ever since his own strength had risen sharply, Greem had discovered the benefits of a high physique.

Three days and three nights of sleepless nights, if it was the past, I'm afraid he would have been exhausted and exhausted. But now, apart from the fatigue caused by excessive mental energy consumption, his body is still as strong and full of vitality as it was 3 days ago.

"I came today to ask, how do you plan to arrange me? Just let me just wander around in this dirty and dilapidated place day after day? The witchcraft facilities here are simply too outdated and backward. Compared with the outside, this place is simply a barren desert in the wizarding world!" Alice poked her waist and complained angrily.

It could be seen that the Swamp Tower had given her enough these days.

There are no high-level witchcraft potions, no normal food and beverages, no high-level materials needed for witchcraft experiments, and a personal residence that is as simple as a sheepfold... In such a backward and dilapidated place, Alice could hardly Imagine how Greem and the others survived!

If it wasn't for the recent changes brought about by the business firms or organizations that settled in the swamp tower, Alice felt that she would have been rotten in this dark and damp magical swamp.

Facing a hard-working "subordinate" who volunteered to volunteer, Greem showed a gratified smile, and casually picked up a piece of white bread from the dinner plate and stuffed it into Alice's hands, smiling: "If you want to find something to do If so, let me see what you're capable of first. Can you throw this thing at Kirby's head?"

As soon as the words fell to the ground, the white bread in Alice's hand had disappeared.

She patted the bread crumbs in her hands, and stared at Greem with a disdainful face, as if you let the horse come over.

Greem opened his mouth slightly in surprise.

But he quickly adjusted his mentality, and picked up another piece of bread and stuffed it into Alice's hand, but this time he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, opening all the protections of this magical residence.

Alice pursed her lips in disdain, grabbed the bread with both hands and rubbed it slightly, and after a strange space fluctuation, the bread disappeared again.

Greem's expression became more serious.

After stuffing the last piece of bread on the dinner plate to Alice, Greem not only activated all the protections of the magic residence, but also focused slightly, and suddenly opened a light red barrier that could cover the entire room.

You must know that at this moment, Alice is surrounded by as many as four layers of elemental protection or witchcraft. If she still...

It's a pity that before Greem's mind was finished, Alice waved one hand, and a small void black hole appeared in front of her. Then she quickly reached into it with the hand holding the bread, and when she pulled it out, it was already empty.

And the void black hole also quickly disappeared!
