The gloomy sky was dark, and the oppressive atmosphere was almost breathless. As streaks of lightning flashed across the sky, strips of white holes were torn apart.
Wow!
The heavy rain poured down, like a waterfall hanging from the sky, falling to the ground with splashes, splashing countless water splashes.
Lital area.
Hundreds of thousands of humanoid creatures of various shapes are working hard in the heavy rain as slaves of the wizard civilization. The extraordinary knights around them are cracking their whips. If the slaves slack off in their work, they will be severely punished.
Two months have passed since the Green Devils launched their massive attack.
The previously collapsed and destroyed walls have been rebuilt now, and are even taller and stronger, making the Lital area look like a fortress.
The seventh tallest tower, 81 floors.
In the spacious laboratory, most of the space is occupied by a cultivation tank. In the green nutrient solution, there is a giant plant growing, with a somewhat twisted shape. The lush branches, leaves and vines spread to almost every corner of the laboratory, making this place seem like a giant plant.
A small forest.
"There has been no action for two months. It seems that the last attack failed, and the native creatures in the world of Aira also suffered a lot of losses!"
Enzo stood in the corner of the laboratory, looking through the glass window at the basically completed giant fortress wall outside the tower, and sighed in his heart.
After the failure of the large-scale attack two months ago, the aliens in the Lital area seemed to fall into silence and no longer appeared within the tower. They seemed to have suffered great damage due to the war and entered a state of cultivation.
Then, Enzo turned away from the window and came to the breeding tank in the center of the laboratory. He raised his head and looked at the artificial twisted tree in front of him.
"After two months, the experiment finally yielded some results..." Enzo murmured to himself.
In the cultivation tank filled with nutrient solution, the tentacle-like roots of the artificially twisted tree are constantly absorbing energy. Its trunk is unusually thick, and its dark cyan wrinkled bark on the surface shines with an eerie sheen.
And in the center of the trunk of the artificially twisted tree, in the embryonic green light group, there is also a life with a curled up body.
It was a humanoid creature somewhat similar to a girl, with a soft and petite body, emerald-like skin, green eyes, closed eyes as if sleeping, and a delicate forehead with black marks that looked like shackles.
"Chip, how long will it take for the experiment to end?" Enzo ordered in his mind.
"Ding! Estimated time: 42 days."
In his mind, the chip gave the answer, and Enzo couldn't help but nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.
After two months of experiments, Enzo used his knowledge of witchcraft to continuously absorb energy from the Children of the Forest to feed the Twisted Tree, and finally merged the two, making the Children of the Forest and the Twisted Tree a symbiosis.
This experimental method is very similar to the behavior of Gram Wizard. The only difference is that the former is self-choice, while the latter is human intervention.
"Only by using this method can the twisted tree derive wisdom and evolve towards a higher level of life!" Enzo's eyes flashed.
At this time, there was a sudden heat in my arms, and a wave of magic power spread slightly.
"Is someone summoning me?"
Enzo raised his eyebrows, took out the Phantom Crow Medal from his arms, saw the message on it, nodded slightly and said, "It turns out to be Mentor Gustav, but after calculating the time, the mission deadline is indeed approaching!"
"By the way, chip! What is the resolution of the Green Devil's language now?"
"Ding! The green demon language resolution is 100%."
In his mind, the chip gave the answer. Enzo nodded with satisfaction, and then put away the Phantom Crow Medal.
Immediately afterwards, he left the laboratory.
Taking the elevator, Enzo arrived at Gustav's office on the 99th floor of the tower.
"Mentor!" Enzo stroked his chest and saluted.
"You're here, Enzo." Behind the huge desk, Gustave raised his head and said with a smile, "How are you learning the Green Devil's language?"
"I have basically mastered it. Under normal circumstances, there is no problem in communicating with the Green Devils." Enzo replied.
"That's good." Gustave nodded and said solemnly, "You should know why I came to see you today."
"I understand, it's the mission you mentioned before."
Enzo raised his head, thought for a moment, and said, "However, specific matters require more detailed orders from the instructor."
Enzo had been notified of the mission mentioned in the conversation half a month ago.
After the failure of the large-scale alien attack two months ago, Wizard Herbert announced the decision of the academy's top management. The three major wizard organizations in the Dark Territory would join forces to develop the world of Akila.
In the next two months, the forces of [Skull Castle] and [Fang Blood Shadow] have successively arrived in [Elkila World], and some of them have also been assigned to the Lital area where the seventh tower is located.
After possessing sufficient mobile armed forces, the academy's senior leadership quickly decided to restart the development plan. The seventh tower in the Lital area also received a mission, ordering them to send a team of wizards to the adjacent sixth tower.
Regional investigation intelligence.
The Sixth Tower is located south of the Seventh Tower. It was one of the academy's first bases in the world of Akiela, but it had been breached by aliens a year ago, resulting in its complete fall.
The goal of the academy this time is to regain the sixth tower occupied by aliens and make it the base of wizard civilization again.
But before the plan can begin, the academy first needs to obtain the current basic information about the Sixth Tower area in order to formulate a plan to regain the Sixth Tower.
Because it is adjacent to the sixth tower, the task of investigating intelligence naturally falls on the wizards stationed in the seventh tower.
"According to currently known information, the Sixth Tower area is fully occupied by aliens, and at least 3 million Green Demons are active there."
Behind the desk, Gustav spoke slowly and said, "Furthermore, according to my guess, the parent body of the giant tree that was severely damaged by Crosno two months ago is probably also being cultivated in the sixth tower area!"
"The parent body of the giant tree is also in the sixth tower?" Enzo frowned slightly.
"If nothing else, it should be like this." Gustav nodded and said solemnly: "After being severely injured by Crosno and the Infernal Bone Dragon two months ago, the giant tree's mother body fled towards the south. If it needs
If I recover, I will definitely choose the Sixth Tower area."
Enzo's eyes flickered and he was silent.
"The parent body of the giant tree is a third-level life form, and it is a native creature of [Ai Qila World], so it must have extremely strong perception capabilities."
Gustav's face was solemn and he said slowly: "Therefore, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the giant tree mother body, we cannot send too strong force to the sixth tower area. The investigation team can only be composed of first-order wizards."
"I understand what you mean, mentor!" Enzo nodded.
The goal of the investigation mission is mainly to obtain information, so using too much power will easily attract attention. Therefore, it is best to form a team of first-order wizards to execute it.
"Before the mission begins, I'll give you this."
At this time, Gustave suddenly took out a green test tube from his arms and handed it to Enzo.
"What is this?" Enzo took the test tube and felt a powerful life energy from the green liquid inside.
"This thing is called [Forest Potion], it's Wizard Herbert's latest research!"
Gustav explained, "This potion has extremely strong healing power. For a first-level wizard, as long as he does not suffer immediate fatal damage, he can recover after taking it."
"So powerful?" Enzo's eyes lit up.
"Of course, the main raw material for preparing this [Forest Spirit Potion] is the spinal fluid extracted from the second-level life form Son of the Forest, and the production process is extremely difficult."
The corners of Gustav's lips raised, and he smiled and said, "Wizard Herbert has only prepared ten [Forest Potion] in total during this period. It took me some effort to get three from him."
"Thank you, tutor!"
Hearing that the [Forest Potion] was so precious, Enzo carefully put it away and then sincerely thanked Gustave.
"It's nothing, this is what you deserve."
Gustav waved his hand and said softly: "In the last war, you guarded the north area of the tower. Such merit is enough to get a [Forest Potion]."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Come with me and I will take you to meet the other members of this investigation mission."
After that, Gustave stood up from his seat and walked out of the office, and Enzo quickly followed.
Taking the elevator, the two came to a hall on the 15th floor of the tower.
"Lord Gustav!"
Pushing open the two metal doors, the scene in the hall came into view. Around a round table, four wizards stood up and saluted Gustav.
"Evil insect?" Enzo's pupils shrank.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a familiar figure, wearing the [Skull Castle] standard wizard robe. It was the wandering wizard who used to be active in the Leyton Kingdom, the evil insect Black.
"It turns out he actually joined [Skull Castle]!"
Enzo's eyes flashed. When he was in Thunder City two years ago, the evil insect, who was originally a wandering wizard, behaved abnormally and attacked the floating ark belonging to [Phantom of Crows]. Now it seems that the other party must have been affected by [
Skeleton Castle] command.
"Long time no see, Sir Enzo."
At this time, a soft voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Enzo looked around and saw a girl wearing a red gauze skirt with a charming face.
"Lakasha?" Enzo's heart moved, and a figure overlapped with the girl appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Bloody Witch, Lakasha!
When Enzo was still a second-level apprentice, he faced a powerful enemy and was almost killed by him in the battle in the Skinning Woods.
And now, the other party has also been promoted to an official wizard!
"Hehe, I didn't expect Sir Enzo to still remember me, I'm so happy!" Lakasha raised her red lips, covered her mouth and chuckled.
Enzo smiled faintly and said nothing.
Although the two were enemies in the past, and the other party almost killed him, now that the three major organizations have joined forces, there is no need to pursue the previous hatred too much.
What's more, Enzo didn't suffer at all at the beginning!
"Since you know each other, I don't need to introduce you."
Gustav walked into the hall, came to the front, looked at everyone, and said, "The mission of the five of you this time is to form a wizard team and go to the sixth tower area to investigate intelligence."
"The scroll recording the Green Demon language was issued half a month ago. With your talents, you should have fully mastered it by now, right?"
"Please rest assured, Lord Gustave."
In the hall, a wizard wearing a white robe with a lightning symbol embroidered on his collar said, "The language of the green demon creatures only has two syllables. Even if it can express a thousand meanings, it is not difficult for us.
"
The white-robed wizard is named Coron Kendi. He was born in the Kendi family of [Phantom of Crows]. He is a first-level conqueror wizard and the team leader of this investigation mission.
The investigation mission consists of a total of five people, including two from [Phantoms of Crows], two from [Fangs and Blood Shadows], and only one from [Skeleton Castle].
"That's good."
Gustav nodded and said solemnly, "The main goal of this mission is to go to the sixth tower area occupied by the Green Devils, collect intelligence information, and act as low-key as possible. Remember not to cause any disturbance to the giant tree matrix."
attention and cause unnecessary trouble."
"Yes, Lord Gustave!" Five wizards said in unison in the hall.
"Okay, you can set off."
Gustave looked serious and warned, "The commander of this mission is the wizard Coron. Everyone must listen to his orders. Anyone who violates them will be punished, no matter which organization you belong to."
"Understood!" X5.
After simply explaining the mission goal, Gustav turned and left. There were only five people left in the hall. The Corun wizard glanced at the other four people indifferently before he spoke.
"Now that everyone has formed a wizard team, let's introduce ourselves first."
"I'll go first, Colonn, a first-level conqueror wizard who specializes in lightning elemental witchcraft. During the [Elkila World] expedition campaign, he once resisted a second-level life form for three hours alone."
Corun's voice was indifferent, but there was a hint of pride in his tone. As a first-level conqueror wizard, he could stand alone against a second-level life form without dying. This was indeed a feat worth mentioning.
"Jie Jie, my name is Brian, and outsiders call me Xie Zhong. I am a first-level guardian wizard who is good at controlling insect creatures to fight." Then Xie Zhong also introduced himself.
"Lakasha, a first-level guardian wizard, currently has count-level vampire blood." Lakasha raised the corners of her lips and chuckled charmingly.
"Earl-level vampire bloodline?" Enzo's eyes flashed from the side.
According to the information recorded in the book, the blood levels of vampires are divided into five levels. According to the ancient titles, they are duke, marquis, uncle, son, and baron. The higher the level of vampire blood, the higher the level.
The possibility is also greater.
It seems that the bloodline levels of the two leaders of [Fang Blood Shadow] are only at the marquis level.
And Lakasha's bloodline can actually reach the level of earl. It's no wonder that she can be promoted to an official wizard so quickly.
