Chapter 0006 Mysterious Shadow

A simple Burning Hands witchcraft requires about 2 points of mental power, which also indicates that Greem can cast Burning Hands 4 times in one breath. But of course this is only a theoretical value, and it is difficult to achieve in reality because of the mental power.

Power is also the basis for apprentices to perform witchcraft.

The higher the mental power value, the more it indicates that the apprentice is full of mental power. Whether thinking about problems or casting witchcraft, the effect can achieve its best effect. However, as the mental power continues to be consumed, when the value is lower than 1/1 of its own

At 3 o'clock, the subject will fall into a state of listlessness. The biggest manifestations at this time are dizziness, nausea and retching, and a listless appearance.

Casting a spell at this time, a witchcraft that usually can be completed in 5 seconds, may not be able to be completed in 10 seconds now, and the probability of spell casting failure will also skyrocket.

Therefore, when any wizard casts spells frequently, he will try his best to retain a part of his mental power to avoid the many sequelae of complete exhaustion of mental power.

And Greem is now showing this symptom, which obviously means that his mental power has dropped below 5% and has entered a state of mental exhaustion. The only solution to this situation is to take a long nap and use enough sleep to restore himself.

Mental strength.

The chip was indeed very useful, but when it was running, it consumed Greem's mental energy. Therefore, sensing something was wrong with him, Greem struggled to climb onto the bed, fell there and fell asleep.

Night falls soon!

When a huge moon disk loomed in the dark sky, the candles in the tower were extinguished one after another. The already cold swamp tower became more and more lifeless!

At some point, a tall and strange black figure suddenly appeared in front of Greem's bed, leaning down slightly and watching him silently.

Due to the huge loss of mental power, Greem's sleep was not stable. Even in his sleep, his brows were furrowed, looking like he was in unbearable pain.

The strange human figure has its back to the moonlight, and its entire figure is immersed in an inexplicable darkness. Its appearance cannot be clearly seen, but only a pair of scarlet blood pupils are shining, which makes people feel chilled.

"Blood...blood...I want blood..."

The black shadow tremblingly stretched out its hands to grab Greem's neck, but it always retracted inexplicably, as if it was extremely reluctant in its heart and looked like it was in a fierce ideological struggle. And its mouth was even more ambiguous.

Qingde repeated these words, showing his confused mental state.

Finally, a glimmer of clarity in his mind allowed him to get rid of his strong desire for blood. He took a deep look at Grim, who knew nothing about it, and turned around to step out of the narrow window.

Outside the window is the nearly straight Qinghui Stone Tower. As a wizard tower, it is naturally equipped with a terrifying witchcraft array. It is impossible to allow outsiders to enter and exit at will. But what is extremely strange is that this black shadow is like a gecko.

While walking around the tower, no witchcraft circle was triggered.

And this, obviously, can only be done by a wizard apprentice with a magic talisman.

The black shadow walked quickly around the outside of the wizard tower. The speed of its figure and the agility of its movements were simply breathtaking. Moreover, when it walked through, it deliberately chose the dark corners of the window sill and places where the moonlight could not reach, so its whereabouts became more and more obvious.

Hair is erratic and weird.

Its movements were quick and light, and it didn't make a single sound during its movement. And it had a plan, deliberately avoiding several secret rooms that were still lit by candlelight, and after searching for a long time, it finally found the most suitable one.

goal.

It hung in front of a narrow window and listened for a while, making sure that the sound of breathing coming from inside was steady and long, and then carefully climbed into the narrow window.

This time it stayed a little longer, and when it crawled out again, a faint smell of blood floated beside it.

This successful hunt obviously made Black Shadow very proud. When he was squatting on the narrow window and about to slip away, he accidentally raised his face and glanced at the moon disk in the sky. At this moment, the huge bright moon emerged from the dark clouds.

The bright silver-gray moonlight casts down from the sky and shines right on it.

This is the face of a young girl, with a pretty face and fair skin. There are traces of blood on the two strange blood-sucking fangs that are slightly angry outside the lips.

The beautiful girl licked her fangs with her slender tongue, sucked the blood on them into her mouth and tasted it, then jumped out of the window and disappeared into the shadows where the moonlight could not reach.

…………

Greem was awakened the next day by a rapid knock on the door.

Shaking his slightly dizzy head, Greem opened the door and was surprised to find three people standing outside the door.

Apprentice chief Anxo, apprentices Allen and Fenrir.

Ankeso's identity as head apprentice was personally appointed by Wizard Anderson, so his status is somewhat noble. He can usually act as part of the wizard's responsibilities and manage all the wizard apprentices in the tower. In addition, he also has the strength of an intermediate apprentice.

, so all the apprentices must obey his orders. Otherwise, if he takes a grudge and does something casually in your tower mission, you won't even know how to write the word "death".

As for the other two, Allen and Fenrir, they are also junior wizard apprentices like Grim. However, they are the best at flattering Ankeso and spending all day around Anksor to please them, so they can also be regarded as the head apprentices.

My confidants trusted me.

Therefore, wherever Ankeso appears, these two sycophants are absolutely indispensable. The relationship between the two is more like the parasitic relationship between the murderous tree and the vampire vine. The two sycophants need Ankeso's care before they can be obtained first.

For those daily tasks that are easier and safer, Anxo also needs the support of two apprentices to deter those ambitious careerists.

Due to his cold and withdrawn personality, Greem rarely interacted with outsiders, so his relationship with them could only be considered good or bad. Therefore, he was extremely surprised when they suddenly appeared in front of his door.

The apprentice leader Ankesuo is a young man in his twenties, with eagle eyebrows and hooked nose, sharp eyes, and although his face is not ferocious, it always gives people a sense of imposing pressure. When the wooden door opened for the first moment, Ankesuo flashed

His gleaming eyes fell on Greem's face, giving him a vague feeling of his skin being burned.

Grim felt darkly in his heart.

He understood that this was a strange phenomenon that would occur when the opponent's strength was already strong enough and his mental power was too full.

There is actually a strict hierarchy among apprentices in the tower.

Those who have only mastered one or two witchcraft and have a mental power of less than 10 points are junior wizard apprentices, considered the lowest level of this group. Those who have mastered three to four witchcraft and have a mental power of 11 to 15 points are junior wizard apprentices.

Intermediate wizard apprentices are already considered powerful figures. Those who have mastered five or more witchcrafts and whose mental power has reached 16 points or more are considered the elites in the tower - senior wizard apprentices.

Once an apprentice's spiritual power reaches the critical value of 20 points, he is qualified to become a quasi-witch, and will be looked upon differently by the wizard, and begin to prepare for future impact on wizard rituals.

It's a pity that there is currently no quasi-witch in the swamp tower in the true sense!

As for the Ankesuo in front of him, although the amount of witchcraft he masters is unknown, with some special witchcraft, he can exert a strength no less than that of a senior wizard apprentice at certain times. And within the tower, there is truly a

There are only three high-level apprentices, Hawkeye, Evil Insect and Mad Girl.

Of course, this is not their name, but just their nickname.

Hawkeye's name is Clutha, a scary guy from the West Coast. In order to enhance his own strength, he actually transplanted an eagle eye into himself and gained some weird powers.

The evil insect is called Entik. He is a more evil guy than Hawkeye. He actually raised a group of terrible insects with his own flesh and blood. When fighting him, if you are not careful, the terrible ending will be that all the insects will eat your heart.

And the last crazy woman is a complete violent maniac. She beat all the wizard apprentices with a huge iron sword that is far higher than the height of ordinary people. She is a terrifying guy that no one dares to provoke.

These people, either mastering powerful witchcraft or possessing weird special abilities, have long since broken away from the status of ordinary apprentices and have become the most popular candidates in the tower who have the greatest potential to challenge quasi-witches.

Therefore, facing the scorching gaze of a powerful wizard apprentice, Greem was obviously mentally exhausted and his mind was greatly suppressed.

"Grim, something happened in the tower last night! Do you know?" The apprentice chief Ankeso looked at Grim calmly and did not open his mouth. Instead, Alan next to him was yelling.

"Something happened? What happened? Someone was poisoned by the witchcraft experiment?" Greem obviously didn't understand the situation yet.

"It's not that the witchcraft experiment backfired, but someone was attacked and killed. In his residence!" Seeing that Grim's confused eyes and surprised expression didn't seem to be fake, Anksou said slowly, his eyes still

Not a single change was missed on Greem's face.

"Attack and kill?" Greem was shocked at first, then shocked: "Who died!"

Although accidental deaths of wizard apprentices occur from time to time in the Swamp Tower, most of them die from dangerous tasks and weird witchcraft experiments. However, there has never been a precedent of being attacked and killed by others. After all, every trained wizard

Apprentices are all precious assets to Master Anderson, the tower wizard, and he simply does not allow apprentices to kill each other due to internal strife.

Once such a thing is discovered by him, the violator must be severely punished.

"Mire!"

Grim frowned.

He knew that Mire was an ordinary apprentice who had only mastered a witchcraft. He didn't know much about other things. He only vaguely remembered that he was a boy with freckles on his face, younger than himself.

"Then you come to me because you want to..."

"We need to check your room. This is not specifically for you, but all suspected wizard apprentices need to be checked." Anxo said coldly.

"Yes, everyone's rooms must be inspected. Get out of the way quickly, otherwise the wizard will blame you. Can you afford it?" Fenrir was undoubtedly the most annoying person, and he was desperately cheering next to him.

A flash of anger rose in Greem's heart, but he gritted his teeth and slowly endured it.

Search everyone?

Do you dare to search Eagle Eye's room? Do you dare to search Evil Insect's room? Let alone the Mad Girl's room. I'm afraid if you really are going to meet the Mad Girl, you guys have to take a detour!

Even though he was furious in his heart, Greem's expression only turned slightly ugly. After hesitating for a moment, he finally turned sideways and opened the door.
