Greem left the alchemy laboratory in a hurry. He originally planned to sneak outside the tower to test the clay demon's fighting power, but he was attracted by the bustling crowd of people just halfway through.
There has never been so much excitement inside the Swamp Tower.
In normal times, everyone is busy. Those who have tasks are doing tasks, and those who have no tasks are either meditating, copying books, or busy with witchcraft experiments... In the tower every day, except for meals, the restaurant will be slightly open.
It's more lively, but usually it's always deserted. Even if they occasionally bump into each other in the passage, they just pass by with a nod.
But something unexpected happened today. Almost every wizard apprentice living in a humble place walked out of their residence and hurried in the same direction.
Grim was surprised and called out to a "friend" he knew a little more, Benson, who was also a junior apprentice.
"What's wrong? Where are you going?"
As soon as Grim finished asking, Benson asked in an even more surprised tone: "You don't know? Didn't you check your witchcraft amulet? Mr. Anderson summoned all the official apprentices to the teaching hall for a meeting. You should also hurry up."
Click and go!”
After saying that, Benson left in a hurry.
Wizard Anderson? Meeting?
Greem was stunned for a moment, stunned by such an extremely rare thing.
As the resident wizard of this swamp tower, in accordance with the unified initiative of the Scattered Tower Wizard Association in the central Wizarding Continent, Wizard Anderson must actually give free witchcraft lessons to the apprentices in the tower every three months. In normal times, apprentices
If we have any questions about witchcraft, we must ask Wizard Anderson alone by paying knowledge points or magic crystals.
Unfortunately, in this nearly closed and isolated swamp tower, Wizard Anderson is the master here, and he directly ignores many of the rules of the Sanlin Tower Wizard Association.
During the six years that Greem lived in the Swamp Tower, Wizard Anderson held only a handful of public lectures, a total of only 4 times. During the rest of the time, Wizard Anderson locked himself in the upper floor of the tower and rarely interacted with his apprentices.
They communicate and interact.
So when he suddenly heard the news today, Greem was extremely shocked.
Greem hurriedly took out the witchcraft amulet from his neck, and then he noticed that there was a red glow on it and it felt slightly hot to the touch.
Uh...well, when he was conducting the alchemy experiment just now, in order to avoid being disturbed by the outside world, he seemed to have temporarily blocked the communication ability of the witchcraft talisman. Now as soon as he opened it, a low and hoarse voice came from inside.
"All wizard apprentices who heard this news should go to the teaching hall to gather immediately. Those who fail to do so within a quarter of an hour will have their apprentice status revoked!"
Greem trembled with excitement, hurriedly put away the witchcraft amulet, and hurried to the teaching hall with the flow of people.
This teaching hall is somewhat similar to the stepped classroom in the previous life, except that the circular platform in front is replaced by a high platform. In this way, even if the apprentice stands in any corner of the teaching hall, he can only slightly look up at the wizard teaching.
It can be seen that the guy who designed this teaching hall will never allow any apprentice to be superior to the wizard, even in name and space.
The large teaching hall can accommodate more than two hundred people, but there are only more than fifty apprentices in the tower, so everyone sits sparsely together. With the three strong men as the center, they formed three distinct small circles.
The other ones were the four small groups that the apprentice chief Allen had just raised. Most of the remaining apprentices were sitting around, showing their status as "lone wolves".
In the past, Greem would have been one of these "lone wolves".
Greem was still observing the situation in the field when his eyes glanced at a particularly eye-catching presence.
She was wearing an eye-catching red gauze dress, and a beautiful face that was cold, aloof, yet alluring. But the owner of this beautiful face was waving to him from a distance.
The lonely Mary in red was the focus of people's constant peeping, and her actions undoubtedly pushed Grim to the opposite side of many male apprentices.
Uh-huh...
Countless glances with unclear meanings were focused on Greem, and he couldn't help but change his face slightly.
This Mary is really a master at drawing hatred!
But there was no room for him to hesitate at this time, so he could only walk quickly to Mary's side and sit down obediently.
"Remember, you will be my little brother from now on, come earlier next time!"
When Mary brought her charming face to his ear and whispered a threat, Greem could vaguely feel that the murderous aura falling on him was a little stronger. And Mary seemed to be very satisfied with this effect, with a look of satisfaction on her face.
With a look on her face, she straightened her delicate body.
Her green eyes swept across the entire audience, and all the male apprentices who looked at her couldn't help but show a soul-colored intoxicated look. Then they suddenly shuddered, quickly lowered their heads, and avoided her sight.
At this time, Greem felt a rather "powerful" gaze falling on him, which made him feel a bit creepy.
Shocked, I looked up, it turned out to be him!
The person watching him was none other than Entik, the evil insect, one of the three strong men.
Two strange green lights lit up under the hood that covered his face. He stared at him coldly. Although he said nothing, an invisible pressure began to spread on Greem's body.
Faced with the opponent's 19 points of mental power, Greem was obviously the weakest in the mental competition. In a head-to-head battle, Greem was not sure whether he could complete the sustained attack under such strong mental pressure.
Spellcasting.
However, when he thought of the evil insect Entik running for his life at the hands of that terrifying Alice in yesterday's sniper battle, the fear that had just emerged in Greem's heart disappeared.
You were beaten by Alice and ran away, but that Alice was running for your life in my hands. Maybe you haven't healed your injuries yet! Wearing a hood to cover yourself so tightly is not to hide your injuries.
Tired body?
Silently cheering himself up, when he thought of Entik's face full of mutilations hidden under the hood, Greem felt a burst of pride in his heart, and he mustered up the energy to withstand the pressure put on him.
The evil insect Entik's eyes became colder and colder.
Although the two sides did not say a word, any subtle mental changes on the other side could be clearly perceived during the exchange of eyes and mental confrontation. Entik could even see through Grim's pretended stern expression that he was full of emotions.
It’s a sarcastic smile!
Teng...
Two wisps of cold burning green fire suddenly appeared in the eyes of the evil insect Entik's hood, and the spiritual power that was suddenly condensed was surging and mighty, ready to burst out.
But the next second, Greem who was looking at him disappeared, replaced by a beautiful face that was almost intoxicating.
Mary in red stared at him fiercely, her lips moved slightly, but no words came out. Even though they were dozens of meters away, Entik could still read her words through the shape of her lips.
"He is mine! If you dare to touch him, I will kill you too!"
Although the words were short, the fierce and domineering momentum was undoubtedly evident.
Entik's sinister eyes became even colder.
Analyzed from all angles, this nouveau riche Mary in Red is no match for him. Most of her skills are restrained by him. But... I have to say that I am not above the peak state now. Even
To put it bluntly, I am currently at the lowest point in my combat power.
It will take several days for the half-broken scorpion to be regenerated. If he fights Red Mary at this time, even if he can win, he will probably lose a lot of energy.
Entik, who was always good at hiding and hiding, finally turned his head, avoided the challenging gaze of Mary in Red, and fell silent.
"You are quite good at causing trouble! You dare to provoke the evil insect Entik!" Seeing that he was forced to retreat, Mary finally turned around and teased Grim.
Grim smiled bitterly in his heart.
Most of this hatred is caused by you, okay?
However, facing the domineering Mary, he did not have any resentment or complaints, because inexplicably, he could sense an inexplicable trust and... dependence from her.
rely?
Greem shook his head slightly, feeling amused by his ridiculous thoughts again. It must have been that the alchemy experiment just now consumed too much mental energy, which made him come up with such ridiculous and funny thoughts.
The subtle interaction between the evil insect Entik and them obviously aroused the interest of the other two senior apprentices, and their eyes couldn't help but look at Mary and Grim.
Mary in red is like a stinging female cat guarding her territory, constantly threatening the opponent and not giving in.
And just as the atmosphere in the venue became increasingly solemn, the light and shadow on the high platform in front shook, and the rickety and thin body of Wizard Anderson appeared there.
His cold gaze swept across the entire audience. Wizard Anderson, holding the long witchcraft staff in his hand, finally spoke after a moment of silence.
"I have good news and bad news for you today!"
Everyone in the venue immediately held their breath and stared.
"The good news is that you will soon be able to reap the most generous resource rewards in your life." Anderson's sinister eyes scanned the audience. Seeing that everyone was not dazzled by this unexpected surprise, he nodded with satisfaction: "And
The bad news is...each of you must accept a mandatory mission!"
As Wizard Anderson paused with his staff, a translucent light screen was projected onto the high platform, and countless green words that kept jumping like a waterfall were instantly brushed down on it.

Row after row, column after column, most of them are apprentice-level tasks within the area controlled by Sand Tallinn.
Originally, as apprentices in the Magic Swamp Wizard Tower, they only needed to complete the guard patrol mission of this resource point, which was considered a relatively closed circle. But now Wizard Anderson suddenly assigned apprentice-level missions to the entire scattered Tallin area.
Everything is open, does this mean some major changes?
Some knowledgeable apprentices could not help but fall into deep thinking.
