Age of Adepts

Chapter 33: mandatory task

Views:

Greem left the alchemy laboratory in a hurry. He originally planned to sneak outside the tower to test the clay golem's combat power, but he was attracted by the bustling crowd just halfway through.

The inside of the Swamp Tower has never been so lively.

In normal time, everyone is busy with their own work. Those who have quests do quests, those who don’t have quests are either meditating, copying books, or busy with witchcraft experiments... The tower in the daily life, except that the restaurant is a little lively at meal times, is always deserted. Even if they bumped into each other occasionally in the passage, they just nodded and passed by.

But today was a bit unexpected, almost every apprentice wizard in the dwelling had left their residences and rushed to the same direction in a hurry.

Greem was in shock and called out to a slightly familiar "friend", Benson who was also a junior apprentice.

"What's wrong? Where are you going?"

As soon as Greem finished asking, that Benson asked back in an even more surprised tone: "You don't know? Didn't you check your witchcraft amulet? Lord Anderson summoned all the formal apprentices to the lecture hall for a meeting, and you too Go ahead!"

After saying that, Benson left in a hurry.

Wizard Anderson? meeting

Greem was stunned for a moment, stunned by this extremely rare event.

As the resident wizard of this swamp tower, according to the unified initiative of the Sanlinta Society Wizarding Association in the middle of the wizarding continent, Wizard Anderson actually had to give a free witchcraft course to the apprentices in the tower every three months. Usually, when apprentices have any questions about witchcraft, they have to ask Wizard Anderson alone by paying knowledge points or magic crystals.

It's a pity that in this almost closed and isolated swamp tower, Wizard Anderson is the master here, and he directly ignores many regulations of the Sanlin Tower Wizard Association.

During Greem's 6 years of living in the Swamp High Tower, there were only a handful of public lectures held by Wizard Anderson, with a total of only 4 times. For the rest of the time, Wizard Anderson locked himself in the upper floor of the tower, and rarely interacted with the apprentices.

Therefore, when he heard the news suddenly today, Greem was beyond shocked.

Hastily pulled out the witchcraft talisman from his neck, and Greem realized that it had a faint red glow on it, and it felt slightly hot to the touch.

Uh... Well, during the alchemy experiment just now, in order to avoid being disturbed by the outside world, he seemed to temporarily block the communication ability of the witchcraft amulet. Now as soon as it was opened, a low and hoarse voice came from inside.

"All wizard apprentices who hear this news, immediately go to the lecture hall to gather. If it is less than a quarter of an hour, the apprentice status will be abolished!"

Greem's heart shivered, he hurriedly put away the witchcraft amulet, and followed the crowd to the lecture hall.

This lecture hall is somewhat similar to the stepped classroom in the previous life, except that the circular platform in front is replaced by a high platform. In this way, even if an apprentice stands in any corner of the lecture hall, he can only slightly look up at the wizard who is teaching.

It can be seen that the guy who designed this lecture hall will never allow any apprentice to be above the wizard, even if it is only in name and space.

The huge lecture hall is enough to accommodate more than 200 people, but there are only more than 50 apprentices in the tower, so everyone sits sparsely together. With the three powerhouses as the center, three distinct small circles were gathered. In addition, there were four small groups that apprentice Alan had just pulled up. Most of the remaining apprentices sat scattered, showing their identity as "lone wolves".

In the past, Greem was also one of these "lone wolves".

Greem was still observing the situation in the arena, when he glanced at a particularly eye-catching existence.

She was dressed in a bright red gauze skirt, and had a beautiful face that was condensed, aloof, yet charming. But the owner of this beautiful face is waving to him from afar.

Mary in red, who was alone, was the focus of everyone's voyeurism, and her actions undoubtedly pushed Greem to the opposite of many male apprentices.

swish...

Countless incomprehensible gazes focused on Greem, and he couldn't help but change his face slightly.

This Mary is really a master at pulling hatred!

But at this time, there was no room for him to hesitate, so he could only walk quickly to Mary's side, and sat down obediently.

"Remember, you will be my little brother from now on, come earlier next time!"

When Mary put her charming face close to his ear and whispered threats, Greem could vaguely feel the murderous aura falling on him a little more. And Mary seemed very satisfied with this effect, with a complacent look on her face, and then she sat upright on her delicate body.

Her green pupils swept across the audience, and all the male apprentices who looked at her couldn't help showing the fascinated look bestowed by the soul color, and then shivered suddenly, and quickly lowered their heads to avoid her sight.

And at this time, Greem felt a "powerful" gaze on him again, which made him feel horrified.

Surprised, he looked up, it turned out to be him!

It was Entik, one of the three powerhouses, who was watching him.

Two strange green glows lit up on the lower edge of the hood that covered his face, staring at him coldly. Although he said nothing, an invisible pressure had already begun to spread on Greem's body.

Facing the opponent's 19 points of mental power, Greem was obviously on the weakest side in the mental contest. This had to be changed in a hand-to-hand battle, and Greem couldn't guarantee whether he could complete the spellcasting under such strong mental pressure.

However, when he thought of how the evil insect Entik was fleeing under the hands of the terrifying Alice in yesterday's sniper battle, the fear that had just sprouted in Greem's heart disappeared.

You were beaten by Alice and ran away, but that Alice ran away in embarrassment in my hands. Maybe you haven't healed your injuries yet! Wearing a hood to cover yourself so tightly, isn't it to cover up your scarred body

Silently cheering himself up, when he thought of Entik's mutilated face hidden under the hood, Greem felt a surge of pride in his heart, and forced himself to push back the pressure that the other party had bet on.

The evil bug Entik's eyes became more and more cold.

Although the two sides didn't say a word, their eyes met, and in the mental confrontation, any subtle mental changes of the other party could be clearly perceived. Entik could even see Greem's sarcastically smiling face through Greem's pretended stern expression!

Teng...

The pupils of the eyes in the shadow of the evil insect Entik's hood suddenly burst into two cold burning green fires, and the suddenly condensed spiritual force was surging and mighty, ready to burst out.

But in the next second, Greem, who was staring at him, disappeared, replaced by a beautiful face that was almost intoxicating.

Mary in red glared at him viciously, her lips moved slightly, but no words came out. Although separated by a distance of tens of meters, Entik could still read her words through the shape of his lips.

"He's mine! If you dare to touch him, I'll kill you!"

Although the words were short, the fierce and domineering momentum was clearly evident.

Entik's sinister pupils became even colder.

Analyzing from every angle, this nouveau riche Mary in red will not be her opponent. Most of her skills are restrained by herself. But... I have to say that I am not at my peak now. To put it bluntly, the current self is simply at the lowest point of combat power.

It will take a few days for the scorpion worms that have been damaged by half to be re-cultivated. If he were to fight Mary in red at this time, even if he could win, his vitality would be greatly damaged.

Entik, who has always been good at forbearance and dormancy, finally turned his head, avoided the challenging gaze of Mary in red, and fell silent.

"You kid is quite good at making trouble! You dare to provoke the evil insect Entik!" Seeing that the other party was forced to retreat, Mary finally turned her head and teased Greem.

Greem smiled wryly in his heart.

Most of the hatred is you who pulled me up for me, okay

But facing the domineering Mary, he didn't have any resentment or complaints, because inexplicably, he could sense an inexplicable trust and... dependence from the other party.

rely

Greem shook his head lightly, amused by his absurd thoughts again. It must be that the mental strength consumed by the alchemy experiment just now was too great, which made him have such absurd and ridiculous thoughts.

The subtle interaction between the evil bug Entik and them obviously also aroused the interest of the other two senior apprentices, and they kept looking at Mary and Greem.

Mary in red is like a stinging female cat guarding her territory, constantly threatening at the other party, with a look of refusing to give up an inch.

And just as the atmosphere in the arena was becoming more and more dignified, the light and shadow on the high platform in front of him flickered, and Wizard Anderson's crooked and thin body appeared there.

With gloomy eyes sweeping across the audience, wizard Anderson leaned on the witchcraft staff, and after a moment of silence, he finally spoke.

"I have good news and bad news for you today!"

Everyone in the venue immediately held their breath.

"The good news is that you will immediately receive the most lucrative resource rewards in your life." Anderson scanned the audience with dark eyes, and nodded in satisfaction when he saw that everyone was not overwhelmed by the unexpected surprise: "And The bad news is... each of you will have to accept a mandatory mission!"

With the long stick in Wizard Anderson's hand, a translucent light screen was projected onto the high platform, and countless jumping green words were brushed down on it like a waterfall projection.

Row by row, column by column, most of them are apprentice-level tasks in the area controlled by Santetalin.

Originally, as the apprentices of the wizard tower in the magic swamp, they only need to complete the guardian patrol task of this resource point, which can be regarded as a relatively closed small circle. But now Wizard Anderson has suddenly opened up the apprentice-level missions in the entire Sandi Tallinn area. Does this mean some major changes

Some knowledgeable apprentices couldn't help but fell into deep thinking.
