The temperature has dropped, and gloomy weather has always accompanied the day.

The Academy of Shadows is coming to an end for one year. Grant simply refused the new contract and left the Black Tower with all his belongings to stay in some hotels in Celephasis City for a while. After all, accommodation in the Black Tower is a benefit for teachers.

He had already exited the black tower, so naturally he would not get this benefit. After quickly packing up some things, he hurriedly walked down the tower.

Under the tower, three figures stood.

They are one man and two women, Sigurus, Tefill and Taylor. Strictly speaking, they are also Grant's closest acquaintances.

"Grant, I only found out yesterday that you were leaving and preparing to join the Black Shadow Killing Group. I have to say, you are really awesome. Now that I think about it, you must be a mid-to-late first-level mage when you enter the Shadow Academy. With this meditation advancement speed

It’s simply outrageous.”

"Okay, Sigurus, you better not say anything. We are here to help."

"Okay, I understand. Isn't that okay?"

After the three people talked for a while, they helped Grant get some as a gift. Grant's storage space was limited, so it was naturally impossible to store a lot of things. Tefill and the others picked up some of the remaining sundries and rushed along the road to the hotel on Shanding Street.

"Thank you. See you later if you have time. There is still half a month until the Black Shadow Killing Group selects its members. During this time, I need to take the opportunity to prepare. If you have time, please contact me through the communication glyph."

Grant walked on the road and explained to the three people on both sides.

"No problem, we understand."

"Of course I know."

The four of them exchanged a word and walked out of the Shadow Academy.

…………

Over the past ten days, there were more and more ascetics in the city of Celerphes, making the city lively.

Occasionally, some conflicts would break out, causing the Mage Alliance to automatically send out a group of leather-armored puppet warriors, each holding a spear to maintain the system or punish certain mages who violated discipline. With this time, half a month passed.

.

All mages understand that they have to participate in the selection test of the Black Shadow Killing Group.

In a certain hotel.

Three yellow-robed ascetics stood there, discussing certain matters carefully.

"Brother Beate, this is your chance. As long as you can become an official member of the Black Shadow Killing Group, then we can be considered a supporter. After so many years of wandering outside and training hard, we need to take root."

"That's natural. This time is an opportunity for me to improve my strength. Once inside, I have a lot of equipment, meditation methods, spells, various combat experiences and even rare and rare spells. That's how we mages survive.

place.”

"Brother, you will definitely succeed."

Several people looked at Beate expectantly, surrounded by an atmosphere of envy.

In other places, such as the second-level family forces in Celerphes City, many young people are sent to join the Black Shadow Killing Group. After all, the resources in the Black Shadow Killing Group are not available to ordinary families. Because of this

, they are willing to squeeze in.

…………

"Let's go, I'm going to take part in the preliminary test."

Grant knew it was time to act, and after half a month of preparation, he also gathered together scrolls, spell dust from the potion part, and a few purchased simple magic traps.

At the same time, he studied the process drawings of the talisman and produced several small talisman array tools that simply delayed time.

In the early morning, the sky is not completely bright yet.

Black Shadow Killing Group, headquarters square, adjacent to the Shadow Academy headquarters.

Nearly a hundred mages crowded into the gray-white square, all eyes fixed on the high platform in front of the square, where stood a slender female mage with delicate skin. She was wearing white leather armor and a colorful leather sheath around her waist.

Each one is full of powerful spell fluctuations.

"Look there is Andrea, one of the twelve captains of the Black Shadow Killing Group. I didn't expect her to be in charge this time, so our mission will be easier this time. After all, her review is not strict."

"I'm pretty lucky."

They whispered, and Grant stood in the corner silently. He did not join the Black Shadow Killing Group at this time in the game, so he naturally didn't know which captain's turn it was this time, but he was confident that he would join the Black Shadow Killing Group now, so he naturally didn't care.

Which captain supervises.

In the square where white robes and black robes were scattered, Beate stood in a corner. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he found a familiar figure standing in a corner. His appearance looked very familiar, with black eyes and flaxen long hair.

The hair reaches to the waist. It is Grant.

"I didn't expect Grant to be here. It seems that he has indeed reached the level of strength. The test of the Black Shadow Killing Group is very dangerous. An extra partner is also an extra partner. The two of them need to be safe." Beate thought of this and walked towards Grant with a few quick steps.

A light tap on the shoulder.

"Grant, I didn't expect you to actually come."

"Beate? You came here quickly, how about it? Are you sure about it this time?"

"Let's make peace, I'm only 30% sure."

Beate and Grant chatted and talked about the recent events. Grant generally understood this and talked about some of the best opportunities to become a member of the Black Shadow Killing Group, and the three events he participated in this time.

The super family is here.

They are Silver Singers: The Pelerid Family, Ripper Death: The Jessica Family, and Fire Growlers: The Jocelyn Family.

The patriarch of their family is a mage with the title, second only to the four major forces and the Academy of Shadows in Serephis City. The children of the family are very powerful, far beyond the mages of the same level. Therefore, because of this, they

The hope of entering the top few is much greater.

"It's great that they can reach the level of second-level mages at such a young age. When they train in the future, they will be at least mid-level or late-level second-level mages. Only individual geniuses can reach the level of third-level mages. I don't know when I can

To reach this point.”

Beate said with envy in her eyes, her eyes locked on several young men with handsome faces and luxurious white robes in the distance. Fluctuations in the level of demonized items came from their bodies, causing the nearby ascetic monks to take a step back unconsciously. It was obvious that

Don't want to get involved with them.

Grant doesn't care, his level-up speed is probably scary enough.

"Beate, stop looking. This time the executive supervisor is here."

He clapped his hands and reminded Beate.

"Really?"

"Of course." Grant raised his head and looked at the high platform.

On the high platform, the female mage smiled and exchanged a few words with a bald male mage, then stepped back and let the bald man step forward to explain the rules and the number of people who had succeeded.

"Hello, I am Pygsis, one of the twelve captains of the Black Shadow Killing Group. I think everyone has heard of me. I don't want to say more, I just want to talk about the rules this time. The test site is radiation

Forbidden land - the forest of death. You need to obtain five mutated crystals from the radiation behemoth and survive in the forest of death for two months. Within two months, eight members will be selected to join the black shadow killing group."

After Pygsis finished speaking, his smiling eyes glanced at the nearly a hundred people below, and then turned his head.

"Ah, eight people. This is too difficult. There are so many of us and we can only select eight people. It seems that it is the most difficult captain of the year. I can't be selected this time. I may have to wait until the year after next to join the Black Shadow

Killing the group is really a waste of time."

"You don't know that improving your strength becomes slower as you go later. When you join the Black Shadow Killing Group later, your status and family status will be different from those you join now. After all, you are older."

"Then let me give it a try."

The group of mages erupted in discussions, their voices full of disappointment and faint anger.

"Hmph, a bunch of useless ascetic monks. They only know how to complain. I know you can't win if you don't have the resources to accumulate. In that case, you might as well admit defeat quickly to avoid wasting most of your time here."

A descendant of the Peleryd family sneered, with a sarcastic voice and disdainful eyes.

"What……"

The ascetic mage, rage and fury.

Pygasius stood on the high platform, noticed that the scene became heated, and used sound magic to shout loudly: "Everyone, listen to me, no fighting is allowed here, if you want, get out. At the same time, now

Get ready to board the airship, and I will transport you to the outside of the Death Forest. You will have to take care of it yourself at that time."

After he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers. A huge magic airship floated in the sky in the distance. Nearly a hundred magical floating spells and wind-moving spell runes were solidified on the surface, making the magic airship move very fast.

Grant stood in a corner and understood that it was a flying puppet that could only be possessed by third-level mages. It was a strategic-level weapon. It was more powerful than riding the flame eagle himself, and it was also very fast.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sky rumbled, and the biting wind roared in, blowing the hoods and robes of the wizards in the square. A huge black shadow covered the sky, casting a shadow.

"Fuck me!"

After Pygsis shouted, he controlled the airship to lower the ascending beams of light, allowing the mages to go up.

As the leader of the twelve captains, he naturally has the best weapons and equipment, and his own strength is also extremely powerful.

Countless dazzling golden lights shrouded it, forming half-sized pillars of light. Some approaching mages were surprised at first and backed away. After paying attention to the situation, they walked in and disappeared into the square.

"Grant, let's go in. We'll go inside later and we'll form a team together."

Beate quietly approached Grant and lowered her voice.

"Okay." Grant nodded, walked into the airship with Beate, and disappeared into the beam of light.

After entering the airship, a chaotic golden light flashed before his eyes, and it dimmed instantly, turning into a huge hall. It was divided into two floors, with a circle of golden stairs above. There were rows of chairs where Grant was.

, there are several slender lampposts with flames standing nearby.

"It seems that we have already entered here. All we have to do is wait for the time to come. I hope it will succeed this time."

Grant whispered, his eyes full of hope. He understood that with the identity of the Black Shadow Killing Group, firstly, he could quickly improve his strength, and secondly, it would give him a proof of identity. With the Black Shadow Killing Group on his back, Meredith would naturally not do it secretly.
