Third floor of the Black Iso Tower, Wizard Shinlu's room. (The wizard who sold Grimm the Mask and the Blood Bat's Kiss also "imparted" the most basic alchemy knowledge to Grimm.)
"Oh? Haha, Grimm. You actually came to my place! " Shinlu stopped what he was doing and looked at Grimm in surprise. After all, Grimm had once given him quite a bit of publicity, so this old wizard could be considered to have remembered Grimm's name.
Grimm's face darkened.
The memory of that time in the interrogation room was not good, but in front of an official wizard, Grimm did not dare to put on any airs.
Respectfully saluting, Grimm said, "Wizard Shinlu, this time I came to ask you to repair this mask. During a battle, I was ambushed by a strong enemy and this mask was destroyed. In addition, I want you to help me find if there is anything that can be used in the Holy Tower Tryouts in three years. After all, for the most top-notch students, ordinary magic tools are basically of no use. "
The Ashen Mask was a sorcerer-apprentice's top-notch magic-conducting tool. Even if it was used in conjunction with other sorcery in the Holy Tower Tryouts, it could still display a considerable effect. Glenn hoped to be able to obtain one or two magic-conducting tools of this level.
After all, in the future, Grimm could only devote all his time to researching the Fire Blast spell. Therefore, the fastest and most time-saving method Grimm could think of to increase his strength was to buy a magic tool.
Shinlu took the damaged Ashen Mask from Grimm's hand.
Looking at the crack on the mask that almost cut the entire mask into two halves, Shinlu frowned. "Destroying these key parts? I still need to see if there are any suitable materials in the warehouse to repair it. Come back in fifteen days to get it. As for the other top-notch magic tools, I don't have any here. However, I know an old guy who still has a lot of top-notch tools for students to sell, hehe … "
Looking at Shinlu's sly smile, Grimm frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"That old geezer has some special hobbies. She keeps some items that are useful for the Holy Tower Tryouts until the last few years of the tryouts. If you want to buy something useful from her, you'll have to spend some magic stones. Of course, a sky-high price for a normal acolyte shouldn't be a problem for you. It's good for you to go take a look. "After saying this, Shinlu gave Grimm an address and a Wizard's name.
…
On the fourth floor of the Black Iso Tower, in a high-class, luxuriously decorated room.
Grimm stared dumbfoundedly at the dazzling array of sorcerer-apprentice supplies in the room. He was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped!
This is … the Flame Fusion Bead? He was actually selling both of them at a price of 30,000 Magic Stones.
Also, a temporary summoning contract with a creature from another world? Temporary physique enhancement potion? Aura-Concealing potion? Flash Stone? A Sealing Spell Scroll? Advanced Leaf of Life? Mixed hallucinogenic and lethal poison? Single-use space pocket? Small Magic Restriction Essence? Concealment Crevice? High-level sorcerer-apprentice, top-quality magic tool …
Furthermore …
What shocked Grimm the most was a dim blue key that was placed in the most conspicuous place in the room. It was the Stigmata Friendship Key!
"Heh heh heh, little fellow, are you interested in this Stigmata Friendship Key? The Stigmata Friendship Key is the best tool in the Holy Tower's qualification battles. It's much more useful than the Flame Fusion Bead. Although this Stigmata Friendship Key can only be used once, it's a powerful tool that can at least summon an official sorcerer. It only costs one super magic stone. "The old witch encouraged Grimm's desire to buy it, revealing her jet-black teeth as she laughed sharply.
Sorcerer-Apprentices who could enter this room were generally top-notch sorcerer-apprentices with exuberant spending power. They were all introduced to this place by other sorcerers.
Speaking of which, this old witch was the rank 2 sorcerer who rode on a broom when Grimm and his party first came to the Sorcerer Continent to pick up Kyrie and Bionna.
On one hand, Grimm looked longingly at the many precious tools in the room. On the other hand, he was gnashing his teeth in hatred.
Only one super magic stone?
That was 100 high-grade magic stones and 1,000,000 low-grade magic stones. For many sorcerer-apprentices who only had a few hundred or a thousand magic stones in total, this was an astronomical figure. Moreover, the prices of the tools in this room were much higher than those of the same grade that could be seen in the market during normal times. This black-hearted old witch!
On one hand, he was cursing the black-hearted old witch, but on the other hand, he could not suppress his incomparable desire for the many precious items.
Gritting his teeth, Grimm first pointed to the space pockets on the counter and said, "I want three of these single-use space pockets."
The old witch laughed strangely. Without even blinking, she took out three palm-sized single-use space pockets from the counter and placed them in front of Grimm. Although these space magic tools were only single-use, they were still high-grade goods.
"This potion that can temporarily increase one's constitution, and a high-grade Leaf of Life, I want one of each." Grimm once again pointed to a bottle of potion and a piece of greenish-purple leaf.
The old witch laughed strangely again. She took out a set of the items that Grimm pointed to. Seeing Grimm's pained expression, she actually moaned in pleasure! It seemed that this old witch's greatest sense of accomplishment came from the strange expressions of sorcerer-apprentices when they bought these "luxuries".
Grimm thought for a moment. Ordinary deadly and hallucinogenic poisons were simply decorations to him. Hence, he shifted his gaze and pointed to a small metal box and said, "This Concealment Crevice actually costs 50,000 magic stones. Can it be a little cheaper?"
"I'm sorry, this shop does not offer discounts."
The old witch replied with a shrill laugh. She was extremely excited to see Grimm. It seemed that the pained expression on Grimm's face that he had no choice but to buy gave her a strange sense of pleasure. It was as if her life had been sublimated. It was an indescribable feeling of beauty. She was so deeply immersed in it that she could not extricate herself. Her body trembled with excitement!
Grimm gritted his teeth, "I want one of these Concealment Crevice!"
Finally, Grimm calculated his remaining magic stones. He had no choice but to give up on some of the non-essential items and shift his gaze to the purpose of this trip, the magic-channeling equipment.
There were tens of high-grade magic-channeling equipment of various kinds. They were all high-grade goods with special functions. Otherwise, they would not have been placed on this counter that specialized in selling "luxuries". In addition, there were seven or eight top-grade magic-channeling equipment for sorcerer-apprentices. Only, the price …
Glenn's left eyelid kept twitching. Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the end, Grimm hesitated between the two top-grade magic-channeling equipment. It was a choice between a greatsword and a magic staff.
Blazing Staff: Increases fire elemental attacks below 300 degrees by 5%. Increases base attack by 30 points. Reduces mana consumption by 5%. Seals the 125 degree spell, Kiss of the Flame Tongue.
Hydra Greatsword: Can coordinate with most basic elemental attacks. Base toughness: 500 degrees of defense. (Attacks exceeding 500 degrees will be destroyed.)
Grimm's gaze lingered on the Blazing Staff for a long time. In the end, he sighed. Was it only effective against attacks below 300 degrees? If he really succeeded in learning the Fire Blast spell … Looking at the price, Grimm pointed at the Hydra Greatsword. His voice was almost squeezed out from the gaps of his teeth, "This Hydra Greatsword, I want it."
The Hydra Greatsword was about 1.4 meters long and 20 centimeters wide. It was a standard greatsword for a human body.
With an empty heart, Grimm calculated the assets he had left after buying these items. He simply clenched his teeth and pointed at a set of metal armor in the high-grade magic-channeling equipment, "This set of Three Moisture Armor, I want it too."
Three Moisture Armor: Completely refracts water, lightning, and life elemental attacks below 100 degrees. Natural mana recovery speed is enhanced. Can automatically attract surrounding water elements to produce a water-wood luster. Ensures the skin is delicate and moist. (Feminine design, Grimm ignored.)
After an hourglass, Grimm carried a small bag of magic stones and exchanged it for these precious magic-channeling equipment. His assets had shrunk to a frightening level.
In the following time, Grimm studied the Fire Blast spell in his small room. Occasionally, he would find time to observe the lightning patterns on the two broken branches.
Fifteen days later, after retrieving the Ashen Mask, Grimm once again plunged into his small room. Like a worker rushing to finish his work, Grimm seized every bit of time to calculate complex and ever-changing elemental reaction formulas. At the same time, he also had to use his own soul's unique basic magic array to verify each reaction and inference.
(Everyone's soul's basic magic array is different, just like a fingerprint. Therefore, the same spell's theory and final result may be the same, but the process is vastly different. It needs to be explored and researched by the individual.)
Another fifteen days passed.
With a head full of shining golden hair, Grimm took off his loose gray robe in front of the mirror, revealing a man's steel-like solid muscles. Each and every one of his well-defined muscles contained a frightening power. This was the terrifying effect of Grimm's 108 physique.
Of course, Grimm wouldn't have this kind of "narcissistic" emotion.
After attentively putting on the Three Moist Armor, the silver metallic luster of the armor replaced the original loose robe. Suddenly, Grimm's original mysterious aura changed into a wild and intrepid aura. His whole person was like a vigorous cheetah. With a ripping sound, the Nine-Headed Snake Sword was carried on his back, revealing only the sword hilt that was imprinted with coarse patterns. This made Grimm's wild nature even more burly and overbearing.
Finally, the Ashen Mask covered his face, revealing a pair of calm and rational eyes. His long golden hair flowed down his face. After the wild and overbearing nature, he restored a trace of the mysterious nature of an elemental wizard.
The time to open the secret plane of the Black Iso Tower had finally arrived!
Grimm strode out of the room.
