After Grant said goodbye to Emil and others, he rushed back to the mage colony without rest.

He didn't go anywhere else when he arrived in Celephasis City. Instead, he found a hotel and slept there. Grant had a habit of finding a sleeping place to have a good sleep after finishing his journey. This would easily keep him refreshed.

Concentration is at its sweet spot.

Two days later.

In the early morning, a ray of brightness shone through the window, illuminating Grant's sleeping face. He frowned and raised his head to see the golden light reflecting off the water waves on the roof.

He got off the bed, took off his pajamas and put on his robe, and stretched again.

"Ha, I slept for two whole days, which is a bit long. Fortunately, my energy has returned to its best point. I didn't expect that the six months in Glory City would be so stressful. I must upgrade well in the remaining time."

Grant said something casually and walked to the wooden window to take a look at the scenery outside.

The window of the hotel bedroom is next to the wooden bed. The wooden black window is covered with a white paper-like film. This is the simplest kind of window in the city, and it can change with time.

With a creak, the window opened.

A fresh breeze unique to the early morning blew in, mixed with the faint scent of pancakes.

Grant stuck his head out and looked down at the flow of people coming and going on the street below. They were coming one after another and it was very lively.

"It's time to leave here and go to the Black Shadow Killing Group. I haven't been there for half a year, and I don't know what it has become." Grant looked back and walked to the desk in the corner of the horizontal bed. There was a light yellow scalp on the desk.

Scroll, a golden quill was placed casually beside the ink. The candle holder placed the night before was no longer waxed because it was not blown out, leaving only the lone needle wick.

He pulled out the high-backed chair and sat down. He held the pen and planned to write out an upgrade plan for the mage colony.

The quill was slightly heavy in hand, and there was a thin layer of gold plating on it. Grant touched it and found it to be very smooth.

"The monsters in the mage cluster are mainly from level 10 to level 30. Those around level 30 are BOSS and are distributed in various places. There is no problem in normal times. But if you want to upgrade before the bloody revenge, you must be quick.

.So you need to prepare enough scrolls and a lot of mental potions plus talisman formations. Just killing them is too expensive. You can get good income by hunting the dungeon area, but it’s a pity that there are slightly fewer monsters. Both sides have advantages and disadvantages.

Disadvantages. There is one area left, which is the newly appeared black fog area. There are many treasures there, such as second-level top and third-level monsters. Especially during my absence, I believe there will be more

Powerful Demonic Corpse. This is a good choice, you can try it. As for the others, let them go first. Later, go to the auction house to get a third-level spiritual power blessing suit, and then go to the Black Shadow Killing Group. That’s what I plan to do.

"

While Grant was talking, he also recorded some important things and used numbers to divide which ones were more important and those that could be put aside. Only in this way can he allocate his plans.

A few hours later, Grant settled the hotel bill and went out to buy the suit.

…………

In a room surrounded by stone walls in the Rift Valley, the lighting crystal emits a faint white light.

The bookshelf on the left is embedded in the stone wall, and there are thick prophecy theory books on it. A man with an inverted cross on his forehead is sitting on a chair, looking at a piece of paper on the writing table.

On the smooth light yellow paper, a quill pen recorded some neat black words out of thin air.

Rustling sounds and subtle elemental fluctuations spread in all directions.

The man with the inverted cross looked at it carefully for a while, then clicked a quill with one hand.

Snap!

The quill pen seemed to have lost its magic power and fell straight down on the paper. The man picked up the quill pen and put it on the pen holder, looked at the message left on it, and curved a shallow smile at the corner of his mouth: "This guy Grant is finally back.

, I haven’t seen him for half a year. As early as March, several directors of the council wanted to see him, and it seems that they can reply."

The person who spoke was none other than Chrollo!

…………

There was a large gray square in front of the Rift Valley without any decoration. Grant rode the speed snake to the corner of the square. He stood in the square and looked at the entrance of the cave, which was still the same. There were two mages in tight robes standing there.

"After I left this time, another selection event was held. The Black Shadow Killing Group had another unfamiliar face that I didn't recognize for a while. I'd better go to my room and have a look. I don't know if anyone has touched it.

"

Grant thought for a while and walked straight to the cave.

At this moment, a surprise broke his plan.

"Wow wow wow, you are Grant."

"Who are you?" Grant turned his head and saw the thin mage behind him, with a joyful expression on his face: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Beate."

"I haven't seen you for a long time. No, I should say you are Deputy Captain Grant." Beate went over to hug Grant with an excited look and slapped him hard on the butt twice. Grant almost thought that

Beate developed such a strange hobby in half a year.

Grant asked: "You look a little pale. Have you encountered a troublesome mission?"

"Some small things, let's go in and take a look."

"Well, no problem." Grant and Beate entered the cave together. A few new members of the Black Shadow Killing Group didn't know who the man in front of them was, and they all asked quietly: "Who is that guy? Why are you talking to Beate?"

The team leader was so affectionate, but they were a little far away just now, and the wind was too loud, so I couldn't hear what they were saying."

"Don't you know him? He is Deputy Commander Grant." A person next to him said to himself, as if he was that person.

"Wow, this is the first time I've met the deputy captain. He looks so young."

"He is a genius among geniuses, and he is somewhat different from ordinary geniuses like us."

"You were right."

They were very impressed while chatting.

After Grant and Beate entered the exchange hall, they saw a line of light red writing on the top of the light screen interface, which said that Grant was welcome to become the deputy leader of the Black Shadow Killing Group. I hope everyone understands...

Grant was surprised when he saw it. But this time he planned to see if there were any tasks related to the black mist on the interface. Because the black mist had been eroding the territory, he guessed that there were probably missions such as extermination. Although he wanted to kill monsters and upgrade, he had an extra

Batch integration is also a very good thing. At least, Grant thinks it is good.

The light curtain exuding a faint white light is lined with lines of text, which are very neat from top to bottom. Most of them are tasks of hunting down some demon corpses and exchanging them with items. After all, the black shadow killing group cannot just pay in vain. In the preferential membership

At the same time, it is also necessary to minimize losses. After Grant took a few glances, he also focused on several tasks.

Suddenly, a burst of light blue flames ignited in the passage of the hall, and the flames flew.

The approaching mage was startled, surprised that there was flame at this time.

When the flames burned down to the last point, a man with an inverted cross tattooed on his forehead appeared. He was slender and had soft white velvet circles on both sides of his neck. After scanning the hall once or twice, he noticed Grant in the corner and lightly

Smile lightly.

When the other mages noticed the visitor, they were also surprised and shouted in unison.

"Hello, Captain Chrollo!"

"Hello, Captain Chrollo!"

When they saw the leader walking slowly, they all stepped back and gave way to the leader. In any case, the leader was the top being in their hearts.

Grant saw the person coming and smiled slightly. He was now on the same level as Captain Chrollo, so he didn't need to be polite to others, just a smile was enough.

"Welcome back!"

"Thank you for your concern, Captain. I wonder what the Captain wants to see me for now?"

"Haha, you haven't forgotten, right? Once the deputy leader passes the review, he has to rush to the College Elders Council to have a meal and get to know each other. Because you were not here before, but now that you are back, I can help you organize it.

The time is set at the Shadow Academy headquarters tomorrow, do you know?"

"Well, I understand. I will definitely come when the time comes." Grant nodded to express his understanding.

Captain Chrollo glanced at it for a few times, with a trace of surprise flashing across his eyes. He pursed his lips and left the hall, intending to report the matter to the elders of Shadow Academy. After finishing this matter, he would be free to deal with other matters.

affairs.

"Awesome, I didn't expect that the deputy captain would receive such treatment. Now you are about to step into the high-level circle."

"Stop talking about it, let's go to the city for a meal. It's been half a year since we've seen each other again."

"Of course, by the way, how are Tefel and the others? Are they okay?"

"Let's talk after we leave."

After Grant and Beate talked for a while, they left the hall. Only some people were left in amazement. They all knew that one of the two people who smiled just now was the deputy leader and the other was the leader. They were both high-ranking figures in the Black Shadow Killing Group.

.

…………

The Shadow Academy is a circle of connected buildings, with a light green playground in the center. The outermost circle is a light yellow iron fence, and every five meters, there is a bronze mage sculpture.

A faint white mist floats around the Shadow Academy. The grass on the ground is green and there is a layer of crystal dew.

A room in the elders' ministry.

The floor and walls are covered with a thick gray blanket and wallpaper, and there is a bookshelf and several desks. There is a mahogany round table in the center of the room, with some elemental gems embedded in the textured surface. There is a floating stone on the table.

The black crystal of light floats out traces of black beams, like thin snakes wandering back and forth.

Tsk~~~

There was a flash of blue light, and there was a faint crackle of lightning.

"Tomorrow, Grant will come." Chrollo passed on the message and ignored it. Because the senior leaders of the Presbyterian Church usually have important research or things to deal with, they may turn off the communication runes. The best way is to send the information
