Grimm hurriedly left the alchemy lab. Originally, he wanted to sneak out of the tower to test the power of his Earth Golem, but he was attracted by the bustling crowd on the way.
The swamp tower had never been this lively before.
Normally, everyone was busy with their own things. Those who had missions were doing their missions, and those who didn't were meditating, copying books, or busy with witchcraft experiments ….. Every day, the tower would always be deserted, except for the restaurant which would be a little lively during mealtimes. Even if they bumped into each other in the tunnel, they would just nod at each other and pass each other.
But today was a little unexpected. Almost every wizard follower had come out of their residence and hurriedly headed towards the same direction.
Grimm called out to a "friend" that he was slightly familiar with, Benson, who was also a beginner apprentice like him.
"What's wrong? Where are you guys going? "
As soon as Grimm finished his words, Benson asked in an even more surprised tone, "You don't know? Didn't you check your protection spell? Mr. Anderson has summoned all the official wizard followers to the lecture hall for a meeting. You should go as well! "
After saying this, Benson hurriedly walked away.
Wizard Anderson? A meeting?
Grimm was stunned for a moment. He was shocked by such a rare thing.
As the guardian wizard of this swamp tower, according to the unified proposal of the Central Scattered Forest Tower Society Wizard Association of the Wizard Continent, Wizard Anderson was required to give a free witchcraft lesson to the apprentices in the tower every three months. Normally, if the wizard followers had any questions about witchcraft, they would have to pay knowledge points or magic crystals to ask Wizard Anderson alone.
Unfortunately, in this almost isolated swamp tower, Wizard Anderson was the ruler of this place. He had completely ignored all the rules of the Scattered Forest Tower Association.
In the 6 years that Grim had been living in the swamp tower, Wizard Anderson had only held 4 public lectures in total. For the rest of the time, Wizard Anderson would lock himself in the top floor of the tower and rarely interact with the wizard followers.
Therefore, when he suddenly heard this news, Grimm was shocked beyond words.
Grimm hurriedly took out the amulet from his neck. Only then did he realize that the amulet was glowing with a faint red light and was slightly hot to the touch.
Err … Alright, when he was conducting the alchemy experiment, he seemed to have temporarily blocked the connection ability of the Witchcraft Amulet in order to avoid being disturbed by the outside world. Now that it was opened, a low and hoarse voice came from inside.
"All Sorcerer-Acolytes who have heard this news, gather at the lecture hall immediately. If you don't arrive within fifteen minutes, your apprentice status will be revoked! "
Grimm shuddered. He quickly put away the amulet and followed the crowd to the lecture hall.
This lecture hall was similar to the lecture halls in his previous life, except that the circular platform in front had been replaced by a high platform. In this way, even if an acolyte stood in any corner of the lecture hall, he could only look up at the wizard teaching.
It could be seen that the person who designed this lecture hall did not allow any acolyte to be above a Wizard, even if it was only in name and space.
The large lecture hall could accommodate more than two hundred people, but there were only about fifty acolytes in total, so they were scattered around. With the three strong acolytes as the center, they formed three separate small circles. Apart from them, there were also four small groups that Alan had formed. The rest of the acolytes were scattered around, showing their identity as "lone wolves."
If it was before, Grimm would also be one of these "lone wolves."
While Grimm was still observing the situation, his eyes swept across a particularly eye-catching existence.
She was wearing a bright red dress, and she had a cold, aloof, and charming beautiful face. The owner of this beautiful face was waving at him from afar.
Mary, who was sitting alone, was the focus of everyone's attention. Her action undoubtedly pushed Grimm to the opposite side of the male acolytes.
"Whoosh …"
Countless indecipherable gazes landed on Grimm, causing his expression to change slightly.
This Mary was really an expert at attracting hatred!
However, there was no room for hesitation now. He could only quickly walk to Mary's side and obediently sit down.
"Remember, you're my follower from now on. Come earlier next time!"
When Mary moved her charming face closer to his ear and threatened him in a low voice, Grimm could faintly feel that the murderous aura on him had increased. Mary seemed to be very satisfied with this effect. She had a satisfied expression on her face, and only then did she straighten her body.
Her jade-green eyes swept across the entire place, and all the male apprentices who met her eyes could not help but reveal an intoxicated expression that was bestowed upon them by the Soul Color. Then, they shuddered and quickly lowered their heads, avoiding her gaze.
At this moment, Grimm felt a rather "powerful" gaze land on him, and he could not help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Shocked, he looked up. It was him!
The one who was staring at him was one of the three strong acolytes, Demonic Worm Entik.
The hood that covered his face shone with a strange green light as he stared coldly at him. Although he did not say anything, an invisible pressure had already begun to spread on Grimm's body.
Faced with his opponent's 19 points of spiritual force, Grimm was obviously the weakest in terms of spiritual force. If this was a real battle, Grimm could not guarantee that he could cast a spell under such powerful spiritual pressure.
However, when he thought of how Demonic Worm Entik had been forced to flee for his life by that terrifying Alice, the fear that had just sprouted in Grimm's heart vanished.
'You were forced to flee like a rat by Alice, but that Alice was forced to flee from me. Perhaps you haven't even recovered from your injuries yet! Wearing a hood to cover himself up so tightly, was he trying to hide his body that was riddled with scars?
Grimm silently encouraged himself. Whenever he thought about Entich's face hidden under his hood that was full of scars, he felt a surge of pride in his heart. He forced himself to face back the pressure that Entich placed on him.
Demonic Worm Entik's gaze grew colder.
Although the two did not say a word, their gazes met. In the confrontation of spiritual force, any subtle changes in the other's spiritual force could be clearly sensed. Entik could even see through Grimm's purposefully stern expression that was filled with mockery!
* Whoosh … *
Demonic Worm Entik's eyes under the hood suddenly burned with two cold green flames. The spiritual force that he had gathered suddenly surged and was about to burst out.
However, in the next second, Grimm's gaze disappeared and was replaced by a beautiful face that could intoxicate anyone.
Red Robe Mary glared at him fiercely. Her lips moved slightly, but no words came out. Although they were dozens of meters apart, Entik could still read her words through the movement of her lips.
"He's my man! If you dare touch him, I'll kill you too! "
Although her words were short, her fierce and domineering aura was unmistakable.
Entik's vicious gaze turned even colder.
Analyzing the situation from every angle, this upstart Red Specter Mary was no match for him. Most of her skills were countered by him. But … he had to admit that he was not in his peak condition either. To put it bluntly, he was currently at his weakest state.
Most of the scorpions that he had lost would need a few more days to grow again. If he were to fight with Red Robe Mary now, even if he could win, he would suffer a great loss in strength.
Entik, who was always good at hiding, finally turned his head around, avoiding Red Robe Mary's challenging gaze, and fell silent.
"You're really good at finding trouble! You even dare to provoke Demonic Worm Entik! "Seeing that she had forced Entik to retreat, Mary finally turned her head to tease Grimm.
Grimm laughed bitterly in his heart.
You're the one who pulled most of the hatred on my behalf, alright?
However, in the face of the overbearing Mary, he did not have any resentment or complaints, because he could somehow sense an indescribable trust and dependence from her.
Dependence?
Grimm shook his head lightly, once again amused by his absurd thoughts. The alchemy experiment must have used up too much of his power of the Will, causing him to have such ridiculous thoughts.
The subtle interaction between them and the Demonic Worm Entik had obviously attracted the interest of the other two advanced acolytes. Their gazes kept shifting between Mary and Grimm.
Red Shirt Mary was like a cat with spikes guarding its territory. She kept threatening her opponent and did not look like she was going to give in.
Just as the atmosphere in the field became more and more serious, there was a flash of light on the high platform in front of them. Wizard Anderson's hunched and skinny body appeared there.
His cold gaze swept across the field. Wizard Anderson held his long magic staff in his hand, and after a moment of silence, he finally opened his mouth.
"I have good news and bad news to tell you today!"
Everyone in the field immediately held their breath.
"The good news is that you will soon receive the most generous reward of resources in your lives." Anderson's cold gaze swept across the field. Seeing that no one was blinded by this unexpected surprise, he nodded in satisfaction, "The bad news is … Every one of you must accept a compulsory mission!"
As Wizard Anderson waved his long magic staff, a translucent light screen was projected on the high platform. Like a waterfall, countless jumping green words appeared on the screen.
…
Redwood Town Strange Creature Survey
Tower Flower Buy
Fir Stronghold Defense Mission
Twilight Valley Defense Mission
Whisper Hunting Ground Cleanup Mission
…
…
Row after row, row after row, most of them were acolyte level missions in the scattered tower forest.
As acolytes of the Wizard Tower in the Magic Swamp, they only needed to protect and patrol this resource point. It was a relatively closed circle. But now, Wizard Anderson suddenly opened up all the acolyte level missions in the scattered tower forest area. Could it be that there was some big change?
