According to the local chronicles of the Wizarding Continent, there are as many as 31 areas under the nominal jurisdiction of the Tallinn Wizarding Association in the central part of the mainland. The small one covers seven to eight hundred thousand square kilometers, and the large one covers several million square kilometers. The territory is vast, rich in resources, and the population accounts for more than 60% of the entire Wizarding Continent.
The mission point Greem went to was located in the Kerila Mountains in the northeast corner of the Dagon area.
Since the discovery of an entrance to the underground world here, the Sandi Tower Lynn Wizards Association built a wizard tower near the entrance, and stationed a powerful second-level wizard to sit here. Don't think that level 2 wizards are considered the bottom of the wizard system up to level 9, so they are not worthy of a big job. But the actual situation is that in the wizarding continent, the birthplace of the wizarding community, the highest level of wizards that can be heard and come into contact with is level 4.
Even the top wizards of the three major wizarding organizations and the Sanditalin Wizarding Association are all rank 4. As for higher-level wizards, it is said that they have left the wizarding world and went to explore and conquer the vast and boundless star sea world.
Therefore, this has also resulted in the current power structure of the Wizarding Continent. Tier 1 official wizards are in the period of frantically collecting knowledge and enriching themselves, and they are also the group with the largest number of major forces. The Tier 2 wizards are the backbone of each academy, and most of them are already in charge. As for Tier 3 wizards, they can already gather a group of followers and establish a small wizard organization or family.
Tier 4 wizards are the core combat power that all large forces are desperately trying to win over. Of course, if this fourth-level wizard is willing, he can also open up an area to establish a wizard kingdom of his own.
The strength ranking of all wizard organizations and forces is actually measured by the number of Tier 4 wizards they have.
As for the group of fallen wizards involved in the mission of exploring the dark crypt undertaken by Greem, the highest ones are only some 2nd-level wizards, so the wizard association sent a 2nd-level wizard to cooperate with the wizard tower, which is enough to resist the possible raids and attacks of the fallen wizards. up.
However, apprentices like Greem cannot participate in those wars between wizards, so their task is more to detect the distribution and changes of underground creatures, as well as the possible dynamics of fallen wizards.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, in the shallow surface of the dark crypt, the most active ones are the wizard apprentices trained by the fallen wizards. And the Sandi Tallinn Wizards Association rarely sends official wizards, and most of the missions are apprentice wizards.
Therefore, it was no surprise that it became the forefront of the contest and strangulation of the two wizard apprentices, and bloody and brutal battles occurred almost every day. But in contrast, a large number of potential wizard apprentices have experienced blood pouring, honing the ferocity and ruthlessness that a combat wizard should have.
...
When the airship slowly landed near the mission point, Greem was a little shocked.
It was a bit unexpected that the mission point was actually a small town.
However, considering that it is close to the dark crypt, some rare resources that can only be found underground will be harvested from time to time, so it is not so strange to be able to gather so many chambers of commerce and secret merchants.
The place where the flying ship landed was a large square outside the city, and what was waiting here was a man with a ferocious face and bloody smell all over his body. Judging from his mental fluctuations, he should be a senior apprentice.
Looking at the five people who came down from the flying boat, the man showed an indescribably strange smile, a look of aloofness and disdain for a bloody veteran seeing a weak rookie. But when he saw the strong wizard who jumped off the boat with a bang, he immediately put away all the expressions that shouldn't be there, and bowed respectfully.
"Okay, okay, don't be so troublesome. This batch of wizard apprentices has been sent to you, you have to be careful with them. The next batch will be in 2 months. If you play too much, you will be released." What a mistake, beware of punishment from the association!" The muscular man waved his hand carelessly, and kicked the only five people on board off the boat like coaxing chickens.
"Don't worry, Lord Samir, the underground has been a little quieter than usual recently, and the patrol team hasn't encountered those black cubs for half a month. The black wood lotus and night eye stone you called for last time have also been prepared. Waiting for your inspection and acceptance." A flattering smile appeared on the ferocious face of the male apprentice.
Only at this time did Greem and the others realize that the body-refining wizard who came with the boat was called Samir.
"Well, you settle these new apprentices first, and I'll go around the city. After you're settled, go find me with Old Kerry!" Without waiting for the male apprentice to reply, Wizard Samir had already taken a step forward. Go straight to the distance.
He bowed and watched the other party go away, and the male apprentice with a fierce face straightened up when the Lord Samir was gone.
"All of you, come with me!" The male apprentice quickly glanced over the five people. When he saw the two quasi-witches, his face didn't change much. On the contrary, he frowned slightly when he saw Greem: "My name is Kevin, you can call me Black Hand Kevin."
Simple opening remarks, but listening to his proud voice, it seems that he pays more attention to his title than his name.
"Kevin the black hand? Could it be that you have a brother named White Hand?" A young man in a yellow short robe with a witch weapon on his exposed skin couldn't help but tease. He is also one of the two quasi-witches, obviously dissatisfied with this "black hand" Kevin for not paying special respect to them.
However, what he didn't expect was that Kevin, the black hand, had already made a move when the stern light appeared on his face.
Almost at the moment of turning his face, the black hand Kevin disappeared in place. And in the next second, a hazy and illusory figure appeared behind the young quasi-witch, pounced viciously on him with two daggers in his hands.
With Zhunwu's 20 points of mental strength, any change in the environment within 10 meters of his body would be hard to hide from his perception. Although he was shocked by such a decisive shot by his opponent, it did not prevent the young quasi-witch from fighting back quickly.
There was a series of crackling thunderclaps, and a blue lightning defense net appeared behind him. And this quasi-witch turned around in a leisurely manner, and two thick lightning beams spewed out from his hands, hitting the senior apprentice who was paralyzed by the electric grid.
At the moment of shooting, he also hesitated.
Coming to this strange environment for the first time, killing "teammates" on the first day? Although it was the opponent who made the first move, it might be troublesome to pursue it!
Just when he was thinking about whether he should restrain the intensity of the "Lightning Bombardment", a sharp pain came from his back, and a dull dagger covered in pitch black protruded from his body, exposing the tip of the dagger on his chest. And at this moment, the blurry figure struggling in the grid turned into a mirror, shattering into pieces in front of him. At the same time, a ferocious hoarse voice rang in his ears.
"Here, quasi-witch doesn't mean anything? Remember next time, don't just joke around with others!"
After finishing speaking, Kevin the black hand pulled out the dagger from the young quasi-witch, took two steps back and stared at him coldly.
The young quasi-witch was sweating profusely from the pain, but what frightened him even more was the black hand Kevin's disappearance. Enduring the severe pain, he took out a bottle of purple potion from his waist pocket, took half of it and poured it on the spewing wound on his chest. It's strange to say that the wound that pierced through the chest began to shrink and heal in just a few moments of kung fu, and then formed a blood scab.
With the wiping of the young Zhunwu, the blood scab fell off, revealing the smooth, white and greasy skin underneath.
"Bloody Mary!" Blackhand Kevin whistled: "You quasi-witches really have a lot of good things! It seems that I should have opened a bigger one for you when I spoke just now! Now you know why I am called Blackhand Kevin Right? That’s because I like playing tricks on other people’s backs. Next time you want to make trouble, remember to watch your own backside!”
The young witch who had suffered a great loss gritted his teeth, but he didn't intend to provoke again. And the quasi-witch who was walking with him frowned deeply, apparently also shocked by the fierceness of the ruthless attack here if there was a disagreement.
But what really shocked the two of them was not Kevin's fierce style, but his weird methods.
First of all, it is definitely not a space attack, otherwise it is impossible not to perceive the fluctuation of space. Secondly, it can't be a clone attack, because in the end Kevin's body appeared without any signs at all, and Kevin's mental fluctuations could also be sensed in the phantom body that existed as a decoy. Otherwise, how could the young quasi-witch be deceived so easily!
For a while, countless possibilities were ruled out in everyone's mind, and they were a little uncertain how Kevin, the black hand, did it. To defeat a quasi-witch so easily as a senior apprentice, of course, there was an element of surprise in it, but more of it was the strange and unpredictable black hand Kevin's witchcraft ability.
Before figuring out the background of the other party, the young quasi-shaman didn't intend to let himself be the touchstone of others.
Mary in red is also an agile melee assassin. With her dynamic vision, she couldn't even capture the movement of the black hand Kevin. This made her frown deeply.
While he was in a state of agitation, Greem gently pulled her arm, and mouthed the word "illusion".
Perhaps only Greem had truly seen everything in the extremely short-lived confrontation just now.
Blackhand Kevin's innate witchcraft ability turned out to be a rare "illusion".
Unlike other wizard apprentices who strive to pursue greater and more powerful witchcraft, this black hand Kevin pays more attention to the combination of talent witchcraft and his own combat power. Under the deception of his illusion that can confuse the five senses of the enemy, he didn't leave the place at all just now, but used illusion to cover himself up.
When the young quasi-witch was deceived by the real-like phantom behind him and turned around, he also exposed his defenseless back to Kevin, who was also an agile assassin. Judging from the agility of his movements, Kevin the Blackhand's agility is second only to Mary in Red, and it should be between 13 and 15 points.
If such a guy runs at full speed, Greem doesn't have elemental vision, and he might not even be able to see where his body is, let alone defend against his full attack.
It has to be said that among body-training wizards, agile assassins like Mary in Red are the biggest nemesis of all apprentices who master elemental witchcraft.
