Half a day later, Grim and Mary finally returned to the Wizard Tower.
Only then did they know that the mandatory mission team they were in had lost another member, Silla, and the rest of the members were also injured, causing the team to suffer heavy losses.
What caused all this was four fallen quasi-witches who suddenly appeared.
After encountering a sudden attack, Sabrina and three other quasi-witches held back three of them, but the remaining fallen quasi-witch still killed Silla and the other four people and fled in panic. Silla died there.
On the way to escape.
Since those fallen quasi-witches kept saying that they were seeking revenge on Grim and Mary before they took action, after escaping back to the surface, the shocked team members blamed them both. Several senior apprentices asked one after another.
They were responsible for Sheila's death and took full responsibility for the failure of the mission.
When the Angus wizard who came to assess and receive the mission items appeared in the hall, Isaac jumped up and down even more.
"Master Wizard, it's them...it's them who insisted on leaving the team and attracted revenge attacks from the other four quasi-witches, which led to the complete failure of our mission this time. You must punish them!"
The remaining Leander and Bruce also yelled and cursed loudly, looking very angry.
As for the two male quasi-witches in the team, they all had livid faces and remained silent. Although they would not commit anything to others, they were obviously dissatisfied with Grim and Mary in their hearts. Due to their poor standards,
The difference is that they suffered numerous losses in a fair battle with the underground fallen quasi-witches, and all of them escaped with injuries.
The only one in the entire team who was able to escape unscathed was probably Sabrina.
"Jie Jie Jie..." Wizard Angus sneered: "You don't need to show off these tricks in front of me. Every year, there are not a few apprentice teams who come to the trial to have internal strife. Your little thoughts and calculations, my lord
I don’t care at all. I only care about what you brought back to the Wizard Tower?"
Everyone looked at Sabrina.
With an unreadable expression on her face, Sabrina spread her hands and handed over the four mission props she had mastered. It could be seen that only one of the four mission props was lit.
"Only one mission has been completed? Where is the other mission item?" Wizard Angus's face instantly turned cold.
"Here I am!" Mary took a step forward and spread her palms.
There, a lit mission prop suddenly came into view.
"You have only completed 2 of the 5 tasks. According to the prior agreement, you can be exempted from the punishment for failure of the task, but you can forget about the rewards of the task."
The senior apprentices in the team couldn't help but feel relieved when they heard that they could be exempted from the punishment of the mission. However, what Wizard Angus said next shocked them on the spot.
"In addition, I would like to announce an internal decision of the Wizard Tower Committee. In view of the good performance of Grim and Mary during the elite mission in the training camp, this committee has made a special decision to transfer them to the training camp so that they will no longer have to participate in mandatory missions.
Trial."
Although the words spoken by Wizard Angus were low and hoarse, when they fell on the ears of the team members, they were no less than a thunderbolt from the blue, instantly knocking them out of their minds.
"This...how is this possible?" Isaac shouted in horror: "Sir, this is unreasonable! There are only 8 people left in our team. If you transfer two more of them, how can we do the following tasks?
?We want to protest..."
Before he finished speaking, a black chain suddenly flew out of the void and tied up Isaac tightly in an instant.
"What? There are still people here who dare to question the authority of the Wizard Tower Committee? Boy, let me tell you, never challenge the authority and dignity of a wizard head-on at any time. This is to teach you to be a good boy. I will not be so good next time.
I feel like letting you go!"
Following the cold warning from Wizard Angus, the black chain suddenly turned red, and instantly turned into a scorching hot metal chain, burning Isaac's skin and making a sizzling sound.
As Angus's tone gradually turned high-pitched, the iron chain began to tighten continuously. The red-hot chain completely sunk into Isaac's flesh and blood, squeezing the bones and making a creaking sound.
Isaac's own magic resistance seemed to have suddenly disappeared, and he was unable to resist the fire chain punishment of the Angus wizard. Just after he screamed a few times, Isaac fainted under the intense pain attack.
With a snap of his fingers, the fire chain disappeared as suddenly as it appeared.
Wizard Angus's bright torch-like eyes swept across the crowd, and all the team members lowered their heads with stinging eyes and dared not look directly.
"This is a small punishment for you. The purpose of your coming here is to exercise your strength and complete the task, not to shirk blame and engage in internal strife! If you are not strong enough to crush those black bastards, then give
I will learn to be more clever and use your strategy and unity to defeat the enemy and successfully complete the mission. Not enough people? Then go to the lobby on the first floor to recruit! You can see if there are any fools willing to accept your employment!"
After finishing his rare long speech, Angus turned his attention to Grim again.
"Boy, I heard that you are very good at hiding your strength! Haha, it seems that you also know that keeping a low profile is the first factor to save your life. However, hiding too deeply is not a good thing. A strong person should have the magnanimity of a strong person.
He Weiyan, if you had shown your skills earlier, maybe this team would all become your little brothers, and the women in the team would also become your concubines. Isn’t this more interesting than keeping a low profile and protecting yourself? Come on, show your skills this time
Let me see the harvest!"
Uh...it seems that this Angus wizard was not a peaceful guy when he was an apprentice.
Grim complained angrily while he and Mary took out the trophies from this underground trip. The two of them, the two heads of fallen apprentices, were both at the senior apprentice level.
The faces of the team members who had been watching all turned extremely ugly, and only the Angus wizard laughed with satisfaction.
"Not bad, not bad! I went underground twice and brought back 2 heads. It is indeed the most suitable witchcraft talent for dark caves. Boy, you are very promising, I am very optimistic about you! Tell me, you plan to use these heads in exchange for
What reward?”
The near-death experience in this trip to the underground also made Grim resentful in his heart. A newly acquired quasi-witch-level rock python was destroyed in vain in the hands of the enemy, which undoubtedly deeply stimulated him!
"The elemental crystal core with the breath of life is preferably of the earth type, quasi-witch level." Greem gritted his teeth and was no longer prepared to hide his talent in refining puppet creatures. After all, the rock python had previously
The appearance of it in the eyes of those who are interested is enough for them to deduce something.
If I continue to be so secretive, I'm afraid my next trip underground may not be so lucky.
"Jiejiejie... Two heads, you can exchange them for two quasi-witch level earth crystal cores, give..." Angus grabbed the two heads and stuffed them into a washbasin-sized space that suddenly opened in front of him.
From the crack, two earth-based crystal nuclei flashing with bright fluorescence were taken out and thrown to Greem, before he turned around and left.
The real owner left, and everyone who was left looked at each other, the expressions on their faces were unprecedentedly embarrassing.
Grim nodded to Sabrina and took Mary back to his residence.
This trip to the underground also made Greem and Mary deeply aware of their own shortcomings. So in the next period of time, the two of them were busy with their own tasks and tried their best to make up for their shortcomings.
All Greem can do now is to eat and drink well every day, lay a good physical foundation, and then take a bottle of concentration potion every three days to work hard to improve his mental power. As for the two quasi-witch level earth elements
The crystal core quickly turned into two rock python demon puppets.
Mary, on the other hand, deeply felt her lack of attack power and resistance, so she spent a large sum of magic crystals to purchase a pair of "Cruel Claws" to enhance her attack power.
This pair of cruel claws is divided into left and right hands. It is a pair of finger-glove-type melee attack witchcraft. The left hand has the added effect of tearing, and the right hand has the added effect of bleeding. It can be regarded as complementing Mary's attributes. If you are fighting
, Mary pours the blood energy she possesses into the finger glove, and can also gain an additional +2 sharpness effect.
Mary also worked hard to increase magic resistance.
Now it would be too time-consuming to train her magic resistance a little bit, so Mary mainly bought some small accessories to increase the resistance. Like that time when she hard-formed through the lightning trap, if she had an electric
If it is a lightning-resistant necklace with a resistance of +2, it will not end up being burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
This time Greem gave all the magic crystal cards to Mary, and then released all the purchases. Mary waved the magic crystals and bought back a lot of resistance jewelry and witchcraft potions. And that's it.
While Mary was frantically squandering magic crystals, Greem was having a "warm and friendly" conversation with the Kirby in his residence.
At this time, Kirby still looks like a green-skinned goblin. Probably the only change is that there is a magic collar with hidden runes around its neck. This magic collar is also a special witchcraft, which is specially used to imprison those
A subspecies that does not obey orders.
There is a circle of witchcraft runes etched on the inside of the magic collar. Three thin needles pierce the target's neck to slowly absorb the magic power in the target's body to maintain its own operation. Any damage to the magic collar will trigger a strong lightning attack.
Being too far away from the caster will also cause the same effect.
The only way to remove the collar is through witchcraft spells activated by the caster in a specific sequence.
So as soon as he came back, he put a magic collar on Kirby, and Greem really felt relieved.
And this extremely intelligent Kirby beast was obviously used to the life of being enslaved and detained, and did not show any resistance to Greem's behavior.
