The reward for the mission was directly linked to the difficulty of the mission.
Mary and Grimm had completed the mission together with the lowest difficulty, so the reward they received was much less than the others. However, they had the head of an enemy, so the special reward they received still made them smile.
After returning to their respective residences, Grimm was about to return to his room to rest when Mary called out to him and threw something at him.
It was an earth element crystal the size of an egg. The yellowish-brown crystal was surrounded by an earthy yellow halo. Tiny and short-lived fluorescence was constantly emitting from the crystal core. Holding it in his hand, it was as beautiful as a dazzling star!
Grimm could not help but hold his breath.
Through the fluctuating elemental rhythm, he could clearly tell that this was an earth element crystal that had reached the level of a quasi-Wizard.
"You deserve it. I've sucked the enemy's blood dry, so take this as your reward for your hard work! "Mary was as carefree as ever. She turned around and returned to her residence.
Grimm hesitated for a long time with an expression of surprise. Finally, he put away the gift and entered his room.
After confirming that everything was safe, Grimm examined himself and silently communicated with the A.I. Chip.
"A.I. Chip, can you analyze Mary's body data?"
[Beep. Data collection completed … Detailed data as follows …]
[Mary, ancient vampire, high-ranked acolyte. Strength: 9.
Agility: 17.
Vitality: 13.
Spirit: 18. Innate abilities: Blood Sucking Regeneration, Bat Demon Transformation, Natural Charm (forming).
Ugh … It was indeed a powerful race's innate ability that could evolve by sucking blood. She really didn't know what kind of witchcraft experiments that Wizard Anderson, who had been staying in the swamp tower all his adult life, had done on her to create such a terrifying witchcraft puppet.
If Grimm's guess was right, Wizard Anderson must have left some kind of control method on Mary's body, and this method was directly rooted in Mary's vampire bloodline. Although Anderson was more indulgent with Mary now, he never interfered with her. However, once Mary grew to the level that he hoped for, it would be time for him to harvest her.
What was the limit of Mary's growth? A quasi-Wizard or an official Magus? Could it be that Anderson was planning to use this method to harvest a Wizard-level Voodoo Puppet?
After all, Mary only needed to advance to become a Quasi-Sorcerer to gain the ability to create Blood Thralls. At that time, as long as Anderson needed it, Mary alone would be able to gather a loyal army of blood thralls for him. For a rank 1 Magus, this was a pretty good method to deal with enemies!
Mary was well aware of her own situation, so her every move was filled with a sense of indulgence. He did whatever he wanted, and he was not willing to suppress his true nature at all. Maybe even she couldn't tell which was her own heart and which was the will that Wizard Anderson had planted in her soul through witchcraft.
Therefore, even though Grimm and Mary had been getting along well recently, he still had a trace of vigilance in his heart because he did not know when the fuse in Mary's body would detonate.
But these are things that can be solved over time.
"No problem." After all, as long as Grim successfully became an official wizard, Wizard Anderson would no longer be an unreachable figure. Perhaps Mary's problem could be solved through an exchange of interests or other means.
Grimm sat in front of the wooden table in his temporary residence and organized all the spoils of war he had obtained from this underground trip.
Of course, he would keep the Thorn Armor bracelet and the storage belt from Anna for his own use, but he could sell the earrings that could absorb the essence of plants to exchange for more suitable magic equipment. That magic notebook had lost its value after scanning it, so he could sell it to see if anyone would be interested.
That emerald green stick and magic mithril seemed to be the materials that Anna had prepared for her future magic wand. Unfortunately, the materials were not ready yet, so she could only secretly carry them with her. Who would have thought that they would end up in Grimm's hands?
The emerald green stick was identified by Wizard Angus as a branch taken from a Wizard-level tree spirit, which had a lot of amplification for plant spells. Magic mithril was a product of the underground world, and it was very difficult to get it in the outside world. The piece that Grimm had obtained was about the size of his thumb, and it could easily be sold for thousands of magic crystals. Also, it was easy to sell it, but it would be very difficult to buy it again at the same price.
After all, magic mithril was a high-end consumable. Those who spent a lot of effort to obtain it would quickly use it up. Therefore, it was usually in a situation where there was a price but no supply.
Therefore, if Grimm wanted to make his first magic wand, he would not need to prepare magic mithril, but he would need to replace the materials used to make the wand. After all, Grimm's elemental affinity was fire, not plant.
As for the last wooden statue, Wizard Angus had identified it as a spiritual beacon that could communicate with creatures from another world. According to Wizard Angus, the fallen acolyte they had killed could establish a stable connection with a powerful creature from another world through a summoning ritual. Both parties would exchange items they needed from time to time.
However, Wizard Angus was very disdainful about this.
The Wizard World was a large plane that attracted the attention of the world. It had conquered thousands of small planes, and almost all kinds of resources could be obtained through the internal trading system. There was no need for such a primitive summoning method. Since the laws of each plane were different, coupled with the interference of the energy tide in the sea of stars, a successful long-distance material exchange would usually cost three to five times more than a normal exchange.
Therefore, if it was not for the fact that resources were extremely scarce, no one would use such a primitive method of exchange. The reason why the female acolyte kept this communication beacon was most likely to exchange knowledge with the creatures from another world.
This was strictly forbidden by the wizard system!
More importantly, if a native wizard of the Wizard World did something like this that betrayed the Will of the Wizard World, it would reduce or weaken the feedback he would receive from the Will of the Wizard World. Also, advancing in the Wizard World would be much more difficult than normal people.
Therefore, there were very few orthodox wizards who would do something that did not make up for the loss. Perhaps only the Fallen Sorcerers, who were excluded from the Sorcerer System, would do such a thing to quench their thirst with poison.
As a beginner acolyte, Grimm had never clearly seen the so-called Will of the World. Therefore, he was very curious about the Will of the World that Wizard Angus respected. Although he did not have a specific plan for his experiments, he still chose to keep this wooden statue.
Maybe when his strength increased a little more, he would be able to control his own life, and he would be able to exchange some interesting information with these powerful beings from another world.
As for this earth element crystal core that he had accidentally obtained, Grimm did not dare to deal with it. Instead, he ordered the A.I. Chip to scan it and carry out a custom-made magic puppet modification plan.
After all this was done, Grimm took out a magic book and began his daily study. He also cooperated with the A.I. Chip to complete some simulations of the spiritual world. When his spiritual force was almost depleted, he lay on his bed and began his daily deep meditation.
With the help of the A.I. Chip, he could enter deep meditation every time. Every time he meditated, he would gain about 0.08 points of spiritual force and 4 points of profession experience. This kind of increase was the most important way for a wizard to increase the upper limit of their spiritual force. Although many wizards would choose to continuously use magic potions or strange items to increase their spiritual force, it was not something that a normal acolyte without the support of a family could afford.
For example, the most effective magic potion to increase spiritual force was the Concentration Potion, which was sold for 5 contribution points and 5 magic crystals in the Potion Hall of the Wizard Tower. A bottle of Concentration Potion could increase the spiritual force of a low-level acolyte by 0.5 to 0.7 points. This number did not sound high, but for an ordinary Sorcerer-Apprentice, it was already a rare treasure.
Before Grimm had the help of the A.I. Chip, he would not be able to enter deep meditation even once out of ten times. On the other hand, a light meditation could only increase Grimm's spiritual force by 0 points, which was a world of difference compared to deep meditation.
Therefore, a bottle of Concentration Potion could help an acolyte save at least 2 months of hard meditation. With such a comparison, even though the price of the Concentration Potion was higher, it was still sought after by many acolytes.
A lot of magic resources here required contribution points, which was completely different from the knowledge points Grimm had obtained in the Swamp Tower. The knowledge points were the value system implemented by Wizard Anderson in the Swamp Tower. They could not be used in the outside world. Contribution points were the value system implemented by the Wizard Association in the Wizard Continent. They could be used in any Wizard Association station.
As for the other three Wizard Organizations, they each had their own value system. There was a clear gap between them and they were not compatible.
Grimm had worked hard to complete an underground patrol mission. Other than resources, he had also obtained 5 contribution points, which was enough for him to buy a bottle of Concentration Potion.
