The wizard tower stationed by Sandi Tower Forest Wizard Association in the Dark Crypt can only be regarded as a small wizard tower, with 7 floors above the ground and two floors underground, so there are 9 floors in total.
The layout of the wizard's tower is similar to the swamp tower where Greem once stayed.
The 1st to 3rd floors on the ground are public areas, which are provided to wizard apprentices as their main activity area. The open public facilities cover almost all areas that wizard apprentices can touch. The 4th to 7th floors are the residences and experimental sites of official wizards. If apprentice wizards without special permission enter, they will be attacked mercilessly by the tower defense mechanism.
At this moment, Greem was wandering silently in the public hall on the first floor of the wizard tower.
Unlike the swamp tower, the dark crypt here is an open territory, allowing wizard apprentices to organize their own teams to search for materials and collect resources in various areas. Therefore, the material resources here are countless times richer than those in the swamp tower.
In addition to the eerie underground world of the Dark Crypt, there are also resource-rich Kerila Mountains above the surface. In the rugged and steep mountains and valleys, there are also countless exotic flowers and plants, and there are countless powerful magical creatures hidden.
Seriously speaking, the vicinity of the Dark Crypt is an extremely suitable place for apprentice wizards to grow up.
Junior apprentices can team up to collect resources in the mountains and forests near the Wizard Tower, and practice their witchcraft with ordinary jungle beasts. Intermediate apprentices can go further and go to the depths of the mountains for individual training. And the taller senior apprentices can already tentatively go to the shallow surface of the dark crypt, where they will fight to the death with dark creatures such as ratmen, dire claw monsters, and undead creatures.
The wizard apprentice honed step by step through this method is far more fierce and powerful than the apprentice created by the swamp tower through the passage of time and slow meditation. In contrast, Greem is like an academic apprentice who came out of a third-rate wizarding academy, while he is a fierce combat apprentice who has fought with real swords and guns. The two are not comparable at all.
Early in the morning, the public hall was already crowded with wizard apprentices who were looking for a team. Most of them were junior and intermediate level, and occasionally there were one or two advanced apprentices. And more apprentices spread a black cloth in the corner of the hall, placed a dozen strange items, and sat beside them holding a book. Only when some apprentice came forward to ask, they said a few words lazily, and the rest of the time they were reading in silence.
Greem was envious of this kind of apprenticeship life that was completely different from the Swamp High Tower, but he was helpless.
After all, before entering the Swamp Tower to study, all wizard apprentices signed a witchcraft contract with Wizard Anderson, and they will be contract apprentices of the Swamp Tower for life. And to gain freedom, there are only two ways, either to obtain the permission of Wizard Anderson, or to advance to become a formal wizard.
If a contract apprentice leaves his wizard tower privately, he will lose his status as a wizard apprentice and become a traitor that everyone can hunt. And among the fallen wizards in the depths of the dark crypt, a large part of them came from unbelievers. However, their status as wizards has not been recognized by the Sandi Tallinn Wizards Association, so they can only remain anonymous as wandering wizards.
So even though he was envious of the way of life here, Greem could only shake his head and sigh, feeling sad.
Among the many apprentices, Greem browsed the roadside stalls and silently looked at these wizard apprentices belonging to the tower of the dark crypt.
Greem found that the apprentices who could yell and drink in the center of the hall and look around to form a team, even if it was just a junior apprentice, had good witchcraft equipment and magic items. Instant magic wands, scrolls and magic potions in waist pockets, exquisite trinkets... Everyone is a small arsenal. Although their physical combat power is not strong, but with so many auxiliary Items, can also overwhelm enemies with massive amounts of sorcery in a very short amount of time.
In Greem's eyes, they are all human-shaped gold coins that can walk. From head to toe, from inside to outside, every inch of their body exudes a strong smell of money. Looking at them, and then at himself, Greem couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, and even the arrogance he had just won in a small victory was wiped away.
Probably the only ones in the field who could compete with Greem's poor were those junior apprentices who read books and set up stalls. At first glance, they looked like "rookies" who had just become junior apprentices and were not yet qualified to go wandering in the jungle.
Greem walked around the public hall, basically collecting all the information he needed to know in his mind, and then he chose a lively stall vendor to go forward and communicate.
This is a slightly fat young man. The short apprentice robe issued by the wizard tower obviously doesn't fit him well, making his appearance look a little funny. Coupled with his facial features that kept dancing as soon as he spoke, his booth became the most lively area in the venue.
"Hi, my name is Greem!" Greem stepped forward and introduced himself.
"That... hello, my name is Sam." The little fatty opened his mouth with a sense of humor: "Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Hello, Sam. I want to ask, is there any special procedure for setting up a stall here?"
"Well… "
Sam looked Greem up and down, and asked suspiciously, "Are you a junior apprentice who just arrived?"
"That's right! I'm a junior apprentice who just came here two days ago." Greem said vaguely. He didn't want to try to explain how he was a Junior Apprentice on a deadly Dark Crypt mission.
"Poor man! You can tell at a glance that he is a rookie who has been abandoned by his mentor. But you don't have to worry. If you hang out with your brother Sam, sooner or later you'll be dressed in magic equipment like them..." This Sam had an idea. The unexpected enthusiastic person turned on the hot-blooded big brother mode in an instant.
But Greem looked at the other party, and then at the test data projected in his mind, he was speechless for a while.
This self-proclaimed big brother Sam turned out to be just an ultra-pure, ultra-young junior apprentice with 6 points of mental power, which made Greem a little bit insane.
"Uh... that Sam, I just want to ask... if I can set up a stall here and sell a few things."
"No problem, no problem. I, Sam, have always taken care of newcomers the most. Come on... I still have some places on my side, so you can put them here!"
With Sam's approval, Greem also quickly spread out a black cloth the size of a tray, and took out five things from his pocket one after another and put them on it. The earring that can heal itself by relying on vegetation, the emerald green stick used as the body of the wand, the leather boots with the ability to walk freely in the jungle, the witchcraft material croaking frog, and the witchcraft notebook obtained from the enemy.
The reason why the leather boots are also here, telling the reason will definitely make Greem die. That Mary actually thought the magic patterns on the boots were not delicate enough, so she threw them to Greem early in the morning and let him watch and deal with them.
Greem said he couldn't understand such a reason. So Mary is classified as one of the most incomprehensible strange creatures in the world!
Seeing that Greem put out his booth in a serious manner, Sam who was sitting next door couldn't help laughing. He patted Greem on the shoulder, and enthusiastically introduced: "Brother, don't blame my brother for not reminding you, it is very difficult for you to sell things like this!"
"Look at me, my booth is so big and yours is so small, what do you use to attract their attention! Look again, my booth is full of things, but yours ... Hey, what is this?"
No matter how weak that Sam's mental strength was, he quickly sensed clear magic fluctuations from the items that Greem put out. My dear, there are 5 items laid out in total, 4 of which are obviously magic items. And look at the style and style of the magic runes etched on it, with an obvious underground style.
Sam reached out to pick up the pair of magic earrings in doubt, savored them carefully, and suddenly exclaimed, "Resuscitation earrings! These are the recovery earrings!"
The sound was not loud, but it quickly alarmed the wizard apprentices passing by. They all stopped and turned their heads to look at the pair of earrings that the fat man was holding in his palm.
"Fatty, what are you yelling about? Can you get the resuscitation earrings? Don't lie here!"
"Yeah, Sam, you're crazy about resuscitating earrings! You're a poor businessman who can get resuscitating earrings? Haha...”
Fatty Sam's old face was flushed with the laughter of the crowd, but the pair of earrings were just gathered in his hands and never let go.
In the crowd, a handsome female apprentice with a sweet smile came to the booth suddenly.
"Sam, can I see these earrings?"
"This..." The muscles on Fatty's face twitched slightly, as if he wanted to slap himself twice.
In the end, he reluctantly opened his hands and presented the pair of exquisitely shaped earrings to the female apprentice.
The girl with the strength of an intermediate apprentice picked up the magic earring with her fingertips and sensed it suspiciously, and a surprised look immediately appeared on her face. Under her control, the pair of magic earrings, which were not so eye-catching at first, instantly glowed with emerald green fluorescence, and a faint fragrance of grass and trees began to diffuse in the air.
There was a sound of gasping for cold air.
"What a resuscitation earring!"
"Oh my god, someone is actually selling level 3 magic items in the hall..."
"No, I have to inform Lina immediately, she has long wanted to get a pair of resuscitation earrings!"
"Yeah, I have to inform the boss as well..."
"..."
In the crowd, many people took out some strange magic contact props from their pockets. All of a sudden, frogs, birds, insects, wolves howled... All kinds of wonderful calls resounded in the hall.
