The wizard tower stationed by the Sand Tower Forest Wizard Association in the Dark Crypt can only be regarded as a small wizard tower. It has 7 floors above ground and two floors underground, so there are 9 floors in total.
The layout of the wizard tower is very similar to the swamp tower where Greem once stayed.
The 1st to 3rd floors on the ground are public areas, which are provided to wizard apprentices as their main activity areas. The open public facilities cover almost all areas that wizard apprentices can be involved in. The 4th to 7th floors are the residence and experiments of formal wizards.
If wizard apprentices enter this place without special permission, they will be attacked mercilessly by the tower's defense mechanism.
At this moment, Greem was wandering silently in the public hall on the first floor of the Wizard Tower.
Different from the Swamp Tower, the Dark Crypt here is an open territory, allowing wizard apprentices to organize their own teams to search for materials and collect resources in various areas. Therefore, the material resources here are relatively richer than those in the Swamp Tower.
.
In addition to the eerie underground world of the Dark Crypt, there are also the resource-rich Kerela Mountains above the surface. In the rugged and steep mountains and ravines, there are also countless exotic flowers and plants growing, and countless hidden treasures.
Powerful magical creatures.
Seriously speaking, the area near the dark crypt is an extremely suitable place for a wizard apprentice to grow up.
Junior apprentices can form a team and go to the mountains and fields near the wizard tower to collect resources and practice their witchcraft with ordinary jungle beasts. Intermediate apprentices can go further and go deep into the mountains for individual training. And more
Higher-level senior apprentices can already tentatively go to the surface of the dark crypt, where they will fight to the death with dark creatures such as ratmen, direclaws, and undead creatures.
The wizard apprentices trained step by step through this method are far more ferocious and powerful than the apprentices created by the swamp tower through time and slow accumulation of meditation. In comparison, Greem looks like he graduated from a third-rate wizard academy.
There is no comparison between the academic apprentices who came out and the fierce combat apprentices who fought with real swords and guns.
Early in the morning, the public hall was already crowded with wizard apprentices looking to form a team, most of them were junior and intermediate level, and occasionally there were one or two senior apprentices. And more apprentices spread out a piece of ground in the corner of the hall.
They put a dozen strange items on the black cloth, and sat next to them holding a book. Only when an apprentice came up to ask, they said a few words lazily, and spent the rest of the time reading in silence.
.
This kind of apprenticeship life that was completely different from the Swamp Tower made Grim feel envious, but he was helpless.
After all, before entering the Swamp Tower to study, all wizard apprentices signed a witchcraft contract with Wizard Anderson, and they were contracted apprentices in the Swamp Tower for life. There are only two ways to gain freedom, either by obtaining Wizard Anderson's
Get permission, or advance to become an official wizard.
If the contracted apprentice secretly betrays the wizard tower to which he belongs, he will lose his identity as a wizard apprentice and become a traitor who can be hunted by everyone. Among the fallen wizards deep in the dark crypt, a large part of them are traitors who have advanced.
But their wizard status is no longer recognized by the Sand Tallin Wizards Association, so they can only remain anonymous and become wandering wizards.
So even though he was envious of the lifestyle here, Greem could only shake his head and sigh, feeling dejected and heartbroken.
Mixing among the many apprentices, Greem browsed the stalls on the roadside while silently sizing up these wizard apprentices who were affiliated with the tower in the dark crypt.
Greem discovered that even a junior apprentice who could shout around in the middle of the hall and seek to form a team had a good set of witchcraft equipment and magic items. An instant wand, a pocket full of scrolls and magic.
Potions, trinkets everywhere... Everyone is a small arsenal. Although their actual combat power is not strong, with so many auxiliary items, they can use a large amount of witchcraft in a very short time.
Submerge the enemy.
In Greem's eyes, they are all walking humanoid gold coins. From head to toe, from the inside to the outside, every inch of their bodies exudes the strong smell of money. Look at them, and then look at yourself, Greem.
I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of myself, and even the pride of having just won a small victory was wiped away.
Probably the only people in the field who could compete with Grim's poverty were the junior apprentices who read books and set up stalls. At first glance, they looked like "rookies" who had just become junior apprentices and were not yet qualified to venture into the jungle.
Greem walked around the public hall and basically took all the information he needed to know into his mind. Then he selected a more lively stall holder and came forward to communicate.
This is a young man with a slightly chubby figure. The short apprentice robe issued by the Wizard Tower obviously does not fit him well, making his appearance look a bit funny. Coupled with his facial features that keep dancing when he speaks, it makes him even more...
His stall became the busiest area in the venue.
"Hello, my name is Greem!" Greem stepped forward and introduced himself.
"Um... hello, my name is Sam." The little fat man said with a sense of humor: "How can I help you?"
"Hello, Sam. I would like to ask, are there any special procedures required to set up a stall here?"
"Well……"
Sam looked Grim up and down and asked doubtfully, "Are you the new junior apprentice?"
"Yes! I am a junior apprentice who just came here two days ago." Greem said vaguely. He did not want to bother to explain how he, as a junior apprentice, came to carry out the fatal mission in the dark crypt.
"Poor man! You can tell at a glance that he is a newcomer who has been abandoned by his mentor. But don't worry, if you follow your brother Sam, sooner or later you will be equipped with magic equipment like them..." This Sam is actually a
The unexpected enthusiastic person immediately started the hot-blooded big brother mode.
But Greem looked at the other party, and then at the detection data projected in his mind, and was speechless for a while.
This self-proclaimed eldest brother, Sam, turned out to be just an ultra-pure, ultra-green junior apprentice with a mental strength of 6 points, which made Greem a little insane.
"Uh... Sam, I just want to ask... if I can also set up a stall here to sell a few things."
"No problem, no problem. I, Sam, have always taken good care of newcomers. Come on, come on... I still have some space here, so you can place it here!"
With Sam's approval, Greem quickly spread out a piece of black cloth the size of a tray, and took out five items from his waist bag and placed them on it. The earrings that can heal themselves by relying on vegetation can be used to heal themselves.
The emerald green wooden stick used as the wand body, the leather boots with the ability to walk freely in the jungle, the witchcraft material chirping frog, and the witchcraft notebook obtained from the enemy.
The reason why the leather boots were here would definitely make Greem furious. That Mary actually disliked the magic patterns on the leather boots that were not delicate enough, so she threw them to Greem early in the morning and asked him to deal with them.
Grim said he couldn't understand such a reason. So he classified Mary as one of the most incomprehensible strange creatures in the world!
Seeing Greem set up his stall in a serious manner, Sam, who was sitting next door, couldn't help laughing. He patted Greem on the shoulder and introduced enthusiastically: "Brother, don't blame me for not reminding you.
It’s hard to sell things like this!”
"Look at me, my stall is so big and your stall is so small, how can you attract their attention? Look again, my stall is full of things, but yours is full of things.
…Hey, what is this?”
No matter how weak that Sam's mental power was, he quickly sensed clear magic fluctuations from several items placed by Grim. My dear, I placed a total of 5 items, 4 of which were obviously magic items.
And looking at the style and style of the magic runes etched on it, it has an obvious underground style.
Sam doubtfully reached out and picked up the pair of magic earrings, tasted them carefully, and suddenly exclaimed: "Resuscitation earrings! These are recovery earrings!"
The sound was not loud, but it quickly alerted the wizard apprentices passing by. They all stopped and turned to look at the pair of earrings that the fat man held in his hand.
"Fat man, what are you yelling about? Can you get recovery earrings? Don't be just trying to trick people here!"
"Yeah, Sam, are you crazy for wanting recovery earrings? Can a crappy businessman like you get recovery earrings? Haha..."
As everyone laughed, Fat Sam's old face turned red, but the pair of earrings just stayed in his hands and never let go.
In the crowd, a female apprentice with a delicate appearance and a sweet smile suddenly walked up to the stall.
"Sam, can I see these earrings?"
"This..." The muscles on the fat man's face were twitching slightly, looking like he wanted to slap himself twice.
In the end, he reluctantly spread his hands and presented the pair of exquisite earrings to the female apprentice.
The girl with the strength of an intermediate apprentice doubtfully picked up the magic earrings with her fingertips and sensed it. A look of surprise immediately appeared on her face. Under her control, the pair of magic earrings, which were not so eye-catching at first, instantly lit up.
The green fluorescence began to appear, and a faint fragrance of vegetation began to spread in the air.
There was a constant sound of gasping for air.
“What a recovery earring!”
"Oh my god, someone actually sells level 3 magic items in the hall..."
"No, I have to inform Lina quickly. She has wanted to get a pair of recovery earrings for a long time!"
"Yes, I have to inform the boss quickly..."
"..."
Many people in the crowd took out some strange magic communication tools from their arms. For a moment, frogs, birds, insect whistles, wolves howling... all kinds of weird and wonderful calls resounded through the hall.
