Mary became a prospective Wizard?!
Compared to Endik's sudden advancement, the crowd was surprised, but not too surprised. After all, he was one of the three most powerful people in the Swamp Tower!
However, Mary's advancement surprised the crowd and made them feel even more incredulous.
Therefore, under the cover of Mary's huge aura of a prospective Wizard, Grimm's advancement to a senior acolyte was only widely discussed among the junior acolytes. The senior acolytes, who had the right to speak among the acolytes, had their eyes firmly locked on the two newly born prospective Wizards.
In just one night, the Swamp Tower was going to change!
As the new head acolyte, Alan had prepared a long and emotional welcome speech. However, when he stood in front of the evil Endik and the demonic Mary, he was suppressed by the cold and terrifying aura of the two. His body trembled slightly, and he could not even say a word that suited the situation.
"We're tired. We need to rest. You can all go now! "Mary was still as cold and arrogant as ever.
Only when she faced her prey would she reveal a bewitching smile that came from the bottom of her heart. To be honest, even if the cats and dogs in front of her stretched out their necks and sent them to her mouth, she would not even bother to bite them.
Alan's strength was not enough to deal with such a powerful 'underling'. Thus, he tactfully dodged to the side and gave way to the gate.
Following behind Grimm, the goblin Cappy had six or seven bulging pouches on his waist and a huge cloth bag on his back. He followed Grimm into the Swamp Tower.
With Wizard Anderson's personality, it was obvious that he would not waste time on welcoming back acolytes. Of course, if he had known that two acolytes had successfully advanced to a prospective Wizard, he might have changed his mind and come forward to rope them in.
After all, the group of prospective Wizards was very special! If one of them was lucky enough to advance, they would instantly become someone who could be mentioned in the same breath as him. If the Sarubo Family knew that he had 'wasted' a prospective Wizard, then the senior Wizards in the family would definitely 'politely' invite him to have a chat.
Therefore, in this isolated private resource point, even high-ranked acolytes were targets that he could do whatever he wanted. However, to a Quasi Sorcerer, any harm to a Quasi Sorcerer was equivalent to killing the future of a Sorcerer family.
On the contrary, as long as Anderson reported the matter of the two Quasi Wizards to the Sarubo Family, the family would definitely reward him greatly for his' grooming '. The amount of resources and materials he received from the family every year would also increase greatly.
Of course, if Entich and Mary wanted to obtain more resources from the Salubo Family, they would have to sign a contract with the Salubo Family. They would have to become Magi and serve the family for years in exchange for a corresponding share of resources. The longer the years of service, the higher the share of resources. If they were willing to join the family, they could receive the full support of the family.
Therefore, on the night when Grim and the others returned to the Swamp Tower, Entich and Mary were summoned by Wizard Anderson to the 5th floor. There, they met the other official wizard from the Salubo family, Cogan.
Through Wizard Cogan's introduction, the two of them had a general understanding of the Salubo Family's situation.
The Salubo Family was founded by the great rank 4 Elemental Wizard Salubo 1300 years ago. At that time, Salubo was the vice president of the Outland Tower Forest Wizard Association, and he had an illustrious reputation in the central continent. 500 years ago, the founder of the family became a rank 5 Magus of Laws in one fell swoop. From then on, he stepped into the sea of stars and never returned.
This was actually the most common situation in most Sorcerer Families on the Magus Continent!
Every Sorcerer Family was founded around a powerful Magus. If this Magus successfully stepped into rank 5, it was inevitable that he would step into the endless sea of stars and conquer the weaker planes in the depths of the sea of stars. If a Magus could not smoothly advance to rank 5, there would be a time when his or her life would come to an end.
A Sorcerer Family that had lost the deterrence of a powerful Magus would inevitably be coveted and annexed by other Sorcerer Families. Families with rank 5 Magi fighting in the Outer World were relatively stable. After all, rank 5 Magi were not allowed to personally return to the Sorcerer World. However, their harvest in the Outer World could be continuously transferred back to the family.
With these high-quality resources from other planes, the family would be able to maintain its strength and nurture a steady stream of new blood to fill the vacuum left by the departure of the family's powerhouses. The reason why these rank 5 powerhouses were willing to transfer their hard-earned resources back to the family was so that the family could nurture more Magi suitable for Planar Wars.
When they carried out large-scale expeditions in other planes, the Magi within the family would be the main force in the war.
Hence, when Entich and Mary signed a family contract with the Salubo Family, they would inevitably participate in the Planar Wars of the Salubo Family after becoming Magi.
According to Wizard Cogan, the Salubo Family currently did not have any rank 4 Magi. They only had one rank 3 Magus, one rank 2 Magus, and seven rank 1 official Magi. This kind of strength could only be considered average in the area ruled by the scattered Forest of Towers.
The Salubo Family's base was in Ferdenan City, which was 2,600 miles away from here. This was only one of the family's four large resource points, and it was guarded by Wizard Anderson all year round.
After a simple description of the family's situation, Wizard Cogan began to ask the two their choices. Would they like to exchange their years of service for resources, or would they like to join the family and receive full support? Unexpectedly, Entich chose to join the family, while Mary chose to serve for ten years.
Actually, if there was a shorter period of service, Mary would rather choose it. This was also a decision she had discussed with Grim beforehand. Unfortunately, the lowest period of service Cogan gave her was ten years!
Soon, the two of them left their mark on the contract that Wizard Cogan had given them. From now on, their statuses were no longer the same as the apprentices they had been before.
Naturally, the treatment they would receive would be different as well.
After Entich made his choice, Cogan immediately gave him a family badge and told him to move to the fourth floor as soon as possible. That was an area that normal acolytes could not enter! Although Mary was also allowed to live on the fourth floor, she had to pay 2 magic crystals per day.
As for the reason, it was because the residence on the fourth floor could already artificially adjust the concentration of certain elemental particles, which was greatly beneficial to the meditation effects and subtle body modifications of the residents. As an employer, Mary obviously could not enjoy the benefits of being a member of the family.
After Wizard Cogan had left, Mary and Wizard Anderson had another deep conversation. Both of them had bargained for a fair deal, and both of them were satisfied with the price.
What Mary paid was a big bucket of fresh blood, and in exchange, Grimm also had the right to live on the fourth floor. Mary also promised that if she really became a wizard, she would not look for Anderson for revenge. She would also provide a Wizard-ranked blood sample for Anderson to complete his research.
To be honest, Anderson's experiment on Mary was actually a bloodline research that could not be made public. It could only be said that Mary's luck was not bad. She had finally endured that painful bloodline modification and became a strange vampire.
The reason why she was called a strange vampire was because the vampire bloodline that Wizard Anderson obtained was not pure, and its origin was also suspicious. Therefore, under Grimm's repeated reminders, Mary voluntarily expressed that she was willing to let go of her past hatred, but she had to get some information and samples of her original bloodline.
Therefore, everyone was happy. Both of them had obtained what they wanted the most.
Mary staggered back to Grimm's room, threw the things in her hand to him, and fell asleep on the bed. She had no choice. After losing so much blood, even with her body, she would need to sleep for a long time to recover.
After settling Mary down, Grimm calmly sat in front of the wooden table and carefully examined a small reagent bottle in front of him.
It was a glass test tube as thick as a finger. It was not long, and when he carefully examined it, he could only see a drop of almost dried blood at the bottom of the test tube.
That Wizard Anderson was actually a dabbler in bloodline research. Once, when he was in the territory of the Salubo Family, he encountered a vampire that had been hiding very deeply in human society.
3 wizards from the Salubo Family worked together, but they still could not defeat this powerful vampire. In the end, the rank 2 wizard from the Salubo Family had to personally come out and chase this guy out of the family's territory. When he was searching the mysterious castle that this guy was living in, Wizard Anderson accidentally found a tube of highly purified vampire blood.
Obviously, that vampire that had escaped was also doing some kind of bloodline research.
Therefore, Wizard Anderson secretly hid this spoil of war and hid in this desolate swamp tower. He quietly carried out the vampire mutation experiment related to this.
Unfortunately, most of the experiments had ended in failure. All the creatures that were injected with vampire blood all died without exception. The genes of a vampire's blood could be considered extremely tyrannical among the bloodline creatures! Any other bloodline that fused with it would only become its nourishment. It was impossible for them to be compatible.
At first, Anderson thought that the body of the creature sample he had chosen was too weak and could not withstand the violent blood transformation. Therefore, he used his power and began to carry out blood experiments on the wizard tower's apprentices.
Three Intermediate Apprentices were injected with Vampire Origin Blood, but Mary was the only one who survived. Therefore, Mary became the key to his follow-up research.
For vampires, there was no point in keeping them in captivity. After all, vampires were purifying their bloodline by continuously sucking the blood of the strong. That was why Anderson let Mary go, hoping that she could complete the purification of her bloodline through independent evolution.
Needless to say, his opinion was correct. At least, Mary's progress had far exceeded his expectations. Presumably, through experiments and analysis of the old and new vampire blood, he should be able to further his research on vampire mutation.
