In Norris's laboratory on the 79th floor of the Black Iso Tower, Grimm hurriedly ran back.
In the room, Grimm looked at Alice, Varro, Garnigel, and a strange woman wrapped in white strips. After taking a breath, he quietly saluted the Master's wife.
Alice was a gourmet. Except for the extra mouth on her palm, she didn't look any different from an ordinary human female. Although Grimm hadn't talked to this Master's wife many times, she always looked very kind, which made people feel her kindness.
She was a gentle and amiable woman.
The Master's wife said gently, "Grimm, your master has gone out. This is your senior sister …"
"You can call me Secluded Spring. I heard from master about your ingenious solution to destroy the body with repulsive and attractive forces. It's very intelligent and creative." The senior sister's voice was very cold, a little evil, and at the same time a little fierce. Her eyes under the white bandage were a little gray and indifferent.
Grimm opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at this strange woman who he had noticed as soon as he entered the room.
This woman, is the legendary senior sister? If it weren't for the Master's wife's introduction, Grimm would have almost forgotten that he had a senior sister.
After confirming that this strange woman in front of him was his senior sister, Grimm couldn't help but look at her up and down with his eyes twitching.
In fact, there wasn't much to look at. This Eldest Senior Sister was tightly wrapped in a layer of white cloth, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes, which highlighted her slender but strong female body. It was as if the moment she moved, she would create a terrifying aura that could destroy the heavens and earth. A slender blade on her back was emitting a strange black gas, and her whole body revealed a fierce momentum that made people's hearts tremble.
"Senior sister." Grimm saluted respectfully. He instinctively felt that this senior sister's life level was very high.
Varro laughed mischievously and said, "Grimm, you still don't know, but Senior Apprentice Sister is a Wyvern Anatomy Refinery Sorcerer equivalent to a Level-3 Sorcerer. Just a casual greeting gift from her will guarantee you endless benefits."
A rank 3 Magus!
Grimm looked at the Eldest Senior Sister in shock, unable to believe his eyes. This weirdly dressed Eldest Senior Sister had actually caught up to the level of a mentor?
"Hmph, you bastard. You've been studying those useless things for decades. I think Grimm will become an official Wizard in a few decades. Master's inheritance still depends on Third Junior Brother." Grand Senior Sister snorted coldly and took out a fingernail-sized bead from the "bandages" on her body. She flicked it at Grimm.
Glenn caught it quickly and stared at the sparkling and translucent bead in astonishment.
Secluded Spring said lightly, "It's a little thing I got from another world. There's a mindless evil spirit sealed inside. It's completely immune to physical attacks and negative energy attacks. You can try to control it after you become a formal wizard, but it's a bit difficult for apprentices."
Evil spirit?
Grimm suddenly thought of Robin's Green-eyed Macaque. That creature was specialized in restraining evil spirits.
However, Grimm was still very happy because this evil spirit had many special characteristics and could play a wonderful role in certain situations.
Grimm said excitedly, "Thank you, Eldest Senior Sister."
Garnigel jumped onto the shoulder of Eldest Senior Sister Secluded Spring and licked its claws. It said in a bored tone, "Grimm, you still don't know why the academies are gathering this time, do you?"
Grimm was startled for a moment before he nodded.
"Oh … because the Holy Tower Qualification Battle is about to begin. The Wizard Academies in the 19th District want to borrow our 12th District to lay off the huge number of apprentices there. So … they declared war. " Garnigel said disdainfully, "Of course, there are a few excuses. There have been many conflicts between the two academies in the past century. One of them was when Black Isotta Academy robbed a ship from Lilith's Cabin seven years ago."
Black Cat looked at Grimm meaningfully.
War!
While Grimm was shocked, he heard Black Cat mention the incident of Fake Faceless Wizard robbing a ship seven years ago. Grimm's face showed a look of disappointment.
If he had gone to Lilith's Cabin Academy in the 19th District of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings, it would have been a different story.
The teacher's wife, Alice, said softly, "The 19th and our 12th districts have different training concepts for sorcerer-apprentices. Our 12th district's concept for training sorcerer-apprentices is competition and elimination during growth. Usually, it's a bit more cruel, and the internal selection of useful elites for the sorcerers world. The 19th District focuses on the peaceful study of wizardry during normal times, and then carries out an extremely cruel elimination. So basically, there will be a regional academy war between the two sides ten years before the Holy Tower Qualification Battle. "
A regional academy war!
Grimm couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air at this cruel method of elimination.
Secluded Spring snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Don't worry. Most of the apprentices in the 19th District are pitifully weak. Their average combat ability is far less than our 12th District's, and their IQ seems to have problems because they don't leave the laboratory for a long time. Many of them are simply stupid and arrogant. As for how stupid they are, refer to the situation of the freshmen in the first three years of entering the Sorcerer Academy. In the academy war of my batch, I robbed all the resources of the nine academies on the opposite side, and then chased them for nearly half a year. I helped the opposite Sorcerer Academy screen well. "
Resource points? It seemed that this was a prelude arranged by the two academies for the war.
Grimm was stunned and said, "Could it be that this so-called war is simply a war for apprentices to kill each other?" This time, Grimm had some experience of the information resources obtained by the Desperate Ones during the Newcomer Trial.
At this time, Grimm finally had some clues about the purpose of this war.
After all, this was a Sorcerer World. Whether it was the Tower Master's Sorcerer Tower's ability enhancement or the Sorcerer World's need to invade other worlds, the lowest level was an official Sorcerer. If there was a lack of cannon fodder, any Level Four Stigmata Sorcerer could easily transfer a large number of foreign world creatures from those conquered small worlds, and there was no need for apprentices to participate.
The ultimate purpose of the 12th and 19th District was to screen out the elites among the apprentices, and try to save more resources to cultivate official Sorcerers.
However …
The 12th's cultivation method was a cruel one, while the 19th's cultivation method was usually gentle and warm, and at the end, there was a big screening in hell.
Unfortunately, these qualified elite sorcerer-apprentices of the 12th had become the selectors of the 19th. They were responsible for cleaning up the "trash" on the opposite side and making the bloated sorcerer-apprentice team a little more "refined".
In this way, the other side was usually used for knowledge research, and the welfare and treatment were not bad. However, because of the huge team of apprentices, it was impossible to have the opportunity to exchange the mark for a large number of magic stones after the Newcomer Trial, and thus lost the opportunity for a small number of elite apprentices to advance further.
The pros and cons were half and half.
Grimm remembered that when the ship was still under the jurisdiction of Lilith Sorcerer Academy, Wizard Dira personally ordered that apprentices were not allowed to kill each other. After the Fake Faceless Sorcerer kidnapped Helen, he immediately went through a Nightmare Screening.
Of course, this screening was very effective, and the existence of the Death Sail League was the result of this screening.
After thinking about this for a while, Grimm breathed a sigh of relief.
Come to think of it, the number of apprentices of the nine academies on the other side was only large, but in terms of actual combat power, it was estimated that they were far inferior to the six academies on the other side. Of course, there was no lack of elites in the other side's team that needed special attention.
"Sigh … Grimm, I'm not good at killing, so I won't fight for it. My priority is to protect the resource points. Remember, the 19th Sorcerer-Apprentices have a badge on them. It's very important, so collect more. "Varro sighed and said.
"Badge?" Grimm immediately thought of the mark from the Newcomer Trial, and asked in surprise, "What's the use of it?"
Varro looked at Eldest Apprentice Sister Secluded Spring and said, "Ask Eldest Apprentice Sister. I only heard that the final price of this badge is sky-high every time. Anyway, when the time comes, you can't buy one without a thousand magic stones."
Secluded Spring said lightly, "Collect 100 badges, and you'll have a chance to go to the Secret Mirror of the Black Iso Tower, until the master's soul slave throws you out."
Grimm understood a little. It seemed that this was a little reward from the master of the Black Iso Tower, to accompany the elite sorcerer-apprentices to play a little game.
"What's in the Secret Mirror?" Grimm asked.
After thinking for a while, Secluded Spring shook her head, "Originally, I only lasted in the Secret Mirror for an hourglass' time before I was thrown out, and I didn't find much. However, it is said that the Secret Mirror of the Black Iso Tower is a small fragment of a small world next to the Sorcerer World in ancient times. There are many strange creatures that the Sorcerer World doesn't have in it, and there are also some ancient ruins. It's very worth excavating and exploring. Of course, there's nothing in the ruins that the master would like, and generally, the master's soul slave is guarding it. "
A broken small world?
Could it be the small world that was broken after the first war between the Sorcerer World and the Alien World in ancient times?
After two hourglasses, Norris returned to the room with a somewhat gloomy face, "There's a change in the academy war this time. There's a new rule. The sorcerer schools of both sides can have three opportunities to send out the guardians of the academy!"
Guardian? The owl of the Black Iso Tower?
That was a creature equivalent to an official sorcerer, and also one of the elite soul slave troops of the master of the tower. Ordinary sorcerer-apprentices would not even have a chance to escape if they were targeted by such a creature.
This change made Varo and Grimm stunned. Grimm's face was ugly, "Then what should we do?"
After pondering for a moment, Norris squinted his eyes and said, "Although I don't know the deep meaning of this arrangement, the only solution I can think of is to keep a low profile and not let the opposite sorcerer schools notice that we're outstanding. Or we can simply concentrate a large number of sorcerer-apprentices to kill the opposite guardian. The guardian of a sorcerer school can only have three opportunities to appear, and the opposite nine schools can only have 27 opportunities. Moreover, we have 18 opportunities to cancel out, so we can only take action nine times. If it's nine times, it shouldn't be your turn. "
It shouldn't be my turn?
Grimm dared not completely pin his hope on illusory luck and waste a chance to obtain the Friendship Key of the Black Iso Tower.
Grimm also frowned. The so-called "superior" was, of course, the master of the tower. He did not know the specific meaning of this arrangement.
Was it to remind the sorcerer-apprentices to keep a low profile before they had absolute strength and not to be individualistic? Or was it to unite something? Or was it to maintain a certain balance between the sorcerer-apprentice teams of both sides?
"The war resource points will be arranged in a month. You two go and get ready." Norris seemed to be in a bad mood. Something must have happened in the sorcerer world, but he did not say anything to the two. He just let Grimm and Varo leave, leaving Eldest Sister Secluded Spring behind.
"By the way, don't use that key unless it's absolutely necessary. Remember," Norris added to Grimm.
