A simple Burning Hand witchcraft requires about 2 points of mental power, which also indicates that Greem can cast Burning Hand 4 times in one go. But of course, this is only a theoretical value, and it is difficult to achieve in reality, because spiritual power is also the basis for apprentices to perform witchcraft.
The higher the mental power value, the more the apprentice's mental power is full. No matter thinking about problems or casting witchcraft, the effect can reach his best effect. However, with the continuous consumption of mental power, when the value is lower than 1/3 of its own, the subject will fall into a state of listlessness. The biggest manifestation at this time is dizziness, nausea and retching, and a listless look.
Casting a spell at this time, a sorcery that usually takes 5 seconds to complete, may not be completed in 10 seconds now, and the chance of failure in casting the spell will also increase linearly.
Therefore, when any wizard casts spells frequently, he will try his best to retain a part of his mental power, so as to avoid many sequelae after the mental power is completely exhausted.
And Greem is now showing such symptoms, which obviously shows that his mental strength has dropped below 5%, and he has entered a state of mental exhaustion. The only solution to this situation is to take a good night's sleep and use enough sleep to restore your mental strength.
The chip is really easy to use, but what it consumes when it runs is Greem's mental power. Therefore, sensing something wrong with him, Greem struggled to climb to the bed, fell down there and fell asleep.
Night is coming soon!
When a huge moon disc loomed in the dark sky, the candles in the tower were extinguished one by one. The already cold swamp tower is becoming more and more dead silent!
At some point, a tall and strange black figure suddenly appeared in front of Greem's bed, bent slightly and watched him silently.
Due to the excessive consumption of mental power, Greem did not sleep soundly. Even in his sleep, his brows were furrowed, with a look of unbearable pain.
The back of the strange figure was facing the moonlight, and the whole figure was immersed in an inexplicable darkness, and its appearance could not be seen clearly, but only a pair of scarlet blood pupils shone brightly, which made people feel terrified.
"Blood... blood... I want blood..."
The black shadow tremblingly stretched out his hands to grab Greem's neck, but he always retracted inexplicably, as if he was extremely reluctant in his heart, and he looked like a fierce ideological struggle. And it murmured these few words indistinctly over and over again, showing a chaotic state of mind.
Finally, a gleam of clarity in his mind made him get rid of his strong desire for blood. He took a deep look at Greem, who knew nothing about it, and turned around and walked out of the narrow window.
Outside the window is the nearly straight Qinghui Stone Pagoda, and as a wizard tower, it is naturally attached with a terrible witchcraft circle, it is impossible to let outsiders in and out at will. But what is extremely strange is that when this black shadow walked around the tower like a gecko, it did not trigger any witchcraft circle.
And this, obviously, can only be done by a wizard apprentice who has a witchcraft amulet.
The black shadow was walking quickly around the wizard tower. The swiftness of his figure and the agility of his movements were simply breathtaking. And when it walked through, it deliberately chose the dark corner of the window sill and the place where the moonlight could not shine, so its whereabouts became more and more erratic and strange.
Its movements were quick and light, and it didn't make the slightest sound during its movement. And it even had plans, deliberately avoided several secret rooms that were still lit with candlelight, and searched for a long time before finding the most suitable target.
It hung in front of a narrow window and listened for a while, making sure that the sound of breathing coming from inside was steady and long, and then carefully climbed into the narrow window.
This time it stayed for a little longer, and when it crawled out again, a faint smell of blood wafted around it.
This successful hunt obviously made Sombra very proud, squatting on the narrow window and planning to slip away, he inadvertently raised his face and glanced at the moon disk in the sky. But at this moment, a huge bright moon emerged from the dark clouds, and the bright silver-gray moonlight projected from the sky, shining on it.
This is the face of a young girl, pretty, with white and greasy skin, and two strange blood-sucking fangs that are slightly angry on the outside of the lips, with blood stains looming on them.
The beautiful girl licked her fangs lightly with her slender tongue, inhaled the blood on it and tasted it, and then she jumped out of the window and disappeared into the shadow of the moonlight.
...
Greem was awakened the next day by a hasty knock on the door.
Shaking his dizzy head, Greem opened the door, only to be surprised to find that there were three people standing outside the door.
Apprentice Axl, Apprentice Alan and Fenrir.
Ankeso's master apprentice status was appointed by Wizard Anderson himself, so his status is a bit precious, and he can usually act as a part of the wizard's responsibilities and manage all the wizard apprentices in the tower. In addition, he also has the strength of an intermediate apprentice, so all the apprentices must obey his orders. Otherwise, once you are hated by him and do something casually in your tower mission, then you don't even know how to write dead words.
As for the other two, Aaron and Fenrir, like Greem, were junior wizard apprentices. However, they are best at flattering people, and they surround Anxo all day long to please and flatter them, so they can be regarded as the apprentice's confidantes.
Therefore, as long as Anxel appears, these two sycophants are absolutely indispensable. The relationship between the two is more like the parasitic relationship between the killing tree and the vampire vine. The two sycophants need the care of Anxl to give priority to those easier and safer daily tasks, and Anxl also needs the support of the two apprentices to deter those ambitious careerists.
Due to his cold and withdrawn personality, Greem seldom interacts with outsiders, so his relationship with them can only be regarded as good or bad. So he was very surprised that they suddenly appeared in front of his door.
The apprentice, Anke Suo, was a young man in his twenties, with eagle eyebrows, sharp eyes, and sharp eyes. Although his face was not vicious, it always gave people a sense of oppression. The moment the wooden door opened, Ankesor's shining eyes fell on Greem's face, giving him a faint feeling of his skin being burned.
Greem's heart darkened.
He understands that this is exactly the phenomenon that occurs when the opponent's strength is too strong and the mental power is too overflowing.
Among the apprentices in the tower, there is actually a strict division of ranks.
Those who have only mastered one or two witchcrafts and whose spiritual power is below 10 points are junior wizard apprentices, and they are considered to be the bottom of this group. And those who have mastered three to four witchcrafts and have a mental power of 11 to 15 points are considered intermediate wizard apprentices, and they are already considered small and powerful figures. And those who have mastered more than five witchcrafts, and whose mental power reaches and exceeds 16 points, are considered the elites in the tower—senior wizard apprentices.
And once an apprentice's spiritual power reaches a critical value of 20 points, then he is eligible to become a quasi-sorcerer, and he will be looked at differently by the wizard, and he will start to prepare for the future attack on the wizard ceremony.
It's a pity that the current Swamp Tower doesn't have a quasi-shaman in the true sense!
As for the Ankesor in front of him, although the amount of witchcraft he has mastered is unknown, but with some special witchcraft, at certain times he can display the strength not weaker than that of a senior wizard apprentice. In the tower, there are only three who really have the strength of high-level apprentices, Hawkeye, Evil Bug, and Madwoman.
Of course, this is not their name, but just their nickname.
Hawkeye's name is Clutha, and he's a scary guy from the West Coast. In order to enhance his own strength, he actually transplanted an eagle eye to himself, and obtained some strange abilities.
The name of the evil insect is Entik, he is a more evil guy than Hawkeye, and he even raised a group of terrible insects with his own flesh and blood. When fighting against him, if you don't pay attention to it, it will be a terrible ending.
And the last crazy girl was even more violent. With a huge iron sword far exceeding the height of ordinary people, she was unmatched by wizards and apprentices, and she was a terrifying guy that no one dared to provoke.
These people, either mastered powerful witchcraft, or possessed weird special abilities, they had already left the status of ordinary apprentices, and became the most popular candidates in the tower with the most potential to attack quasi-witches.
Therefore, facing the scorching gaze of a powerful apprentice wizard, Greem was obviously out of spirits, and his mind was greatly suppressed.
"Grim, something happened in the tower last night! Did you know?" Ankesuo, the apprentice, watched Greem calmly and didn't open his mouth. Instead, Alan next to him yelled.
"An accident? What's the matter? Someone was backlashed by the witchcraft experiment?" Greem obviously hasn't figured out the situation yet.
"It's not that the witchcraft experiment backfired, but someone was attacked and killed. It's in his residence!" Seeing that Greem's bewildered eyes and surprised expression didn't seem fake, Ankesor said slowly, his gaze still He didn't miss any change on Greem's face.
"Assault?" Greem was shocked at first, and then shocked: "Who's dead!"
Although accidental deaths of wizard apprentices occurred in Swamp High Tower from time to time, most of them died due to dangerous missions and weird witchcraft experiments, but there was never a precedent of being attacked and killed by others. After all, every wizard apprentice cultivated is the precious wealth of Master Tower Wizard Anderson, and he does not allow apprentices to kill each other due to internal strife.
Once such a thing is discovered by him, the offender must be punished extremely severely.
"Mire!"
Greem frowned.
He knew this Mire, and he was also an ordinary apprentice who only mastered one witchcraft, and he didn't know much about other things. I only vaguely remember him as a boy with freckles on his face, younger than himself.
"Then you came to see me because you wanted to..."
"We need to check your room. This is not aimed at you specifically, but all suspected wizard apprentices need to be checked." Ankeso said coldly.
"Yes, everyone's room must be inspected. Get out of the way quickly, or the wizard will blame you, can you afford it?" Fenrir is undoubtedly the most annoying person, and he desperately cheered beside him.
A trace of anger rose in Greem's heart, but he gritted his teeth and slowly endured it.
Search everyone
Do you dare to search Hawkeye's room? Do you dare to search the evil insect's room? Not to mention the crazy girl's room. I'm afraid I'm going to meet a crazy girl, you guys have to take a detour!
Despite the rage in his heart, Greem's face was only a little ugly. After hesitating for a moment, he finally stepped aside and opened the door.
