Maureen really didn't expect something like this to happen.
Originally, he came back with the intention of going directly to Gregory's residence to take away the meditation method and the blood essence of the Son of Purgatory hidden therein. However, he did not expect that as soon as he came back, Adrian told him that he had to participate in the experiment.
All wizard apprentices must participate in an experiment conducted by those powerful forces in a secret place. Moreover, they are specifically instructed to kill each other, which is simply forcing the wizard apprentices to kill each other.
No apprentice wizard would want to go there.
The Dark Forest in particular is still in quite unfavorable conditions.
"Teacher, this experiment..." Morin's face looked grim.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
"This is a very unexpected thing, Morin." Adrian shook his head, and then, as if he had thought of something, he said, "However, the Dark Forest is still very kind to you for participating in this experiment."
"Before the experiment begins, Dark Forest will give you something as a guarantee."
"As for those who return alive from the secret realm, they will receive rewards from the Dark Forest."
"Purple stone flower, flame-tailed eagle feathers, silver-trace ink, etc. are all precious materials for official wizards. As long as you can come out of the secret realm alive, you can get them all." Adrian gently supported his eyes and said, "Molin, even the advanced meditation method, there is a certain chance to get it."
Mo Lin's heart moved.
He didn't really care about the other things Adrian mentioned before, but the silver ink among the rewards made Morin excited.
Among the four very important materials for constructing the Minae Totem, one is Silver Trace Ink.
Maureen lowered his head and said nothing, as if he was in deep silence.
"Molin, don't be afraid. Although this time is very dangerous, it is also an opportunity, isn't it?" Adrian smiled, his face full of wrinkles, and said, "As long as you can come out alive and kill a certain number of other wizard organization members, you can obtain the advanced meditation method."
"This is a rare opportunity. You know, normally, those wizard families would never let the advanced meditation method spread."
Adrian said as he comforted Maureen.
Morin smiled. He thought of something and looked at Adrian. He said, "Teacher, not all wizard apprentices really have to go there, right?"
Adrian was stunned when he heard this.
"Maureen, what do you think?" Adrian's glasses glowed slightly. "You know, there is no real fairness in the world, especially for a wizard family with a long history."
Maureen understood.
Although Dark Forest said that all apprentices of wizarding organizations must participate, those wizarding apprentices with outstanding qualifications in wizarding families would definitely not go.
As for the reason...
Need a reason?
This world is inherently unfair.
After Maureen talked to Adrian again for a while, she said goodbye to him.
He walked out of the laboratory, stood around for a while, then turned around and walked in a side direction.
Faint but clear footsteps were heard, and Morin walked into the corridor of the dormitory. Many wizard apprentices had returned from outside, so this place was not as deserted as before. Occasionally, someone would walk past in a hurry with an ugly face.
"I'm back again."
Mo Lin gently turned the key to open the door of the dormitory. He looked at the somewhat unfamiliar dormitory and couldn't help but sigh.
Everything in the dormitory was the same as before, and the dust removal wizardry was set up inside, so everything was clean as new. Compared to when he left, there was no change, so Morin quickly got familiar with it.
He took a nice bath, then lay down on the bed and had a good sleep.
When Maureen woke up, he felt clear-headed and refreshed.
"Chip, check my mental state and the completion of the Minai totem!" Morin snapped his fingers lightly.
"Ding! The mission has been established!"
"checking!"
"Main body mental strength value: 7.4! Minai Totem completion rate: 4%!"
"The changes are really small." Mo Lin's face looked a little ugly.
Not to mention the value of mental power, generally speaking, it can only be improved over time to a level that can be promoted, but this is not what Morin is prepared to do. He will not improve step by step. Morin has been looking for something that can increase his mental power, but unfortunately, the results are minimal.
As for the Minai Totem, the chip had already been analyzed on the way back. Morin had tried to build it before, but it didn't help much.
It is foreseeable that without materials such as silver-trace ink and heartworm powder, successfully constructing the Minae Totem would be nothing but a pipe dream.
"Spiritual strength and those materials."
Morin suddenly felt a little annoyed. It seemed that this ancient wizard's road was not easy to walk on.
He was thinking about other things.
When he came back just now, Morin found that the surroundings had been secretly guarded, and all the wizard apprentices could only enter but not leave. It was obvious that the Dark Forest had been arranged, and during this period of time, the wizard apprentices would not be given the opportunity to leave the Dark Forest.
Apprentices can only participate in secret realm experiments.
"The reward for this experiment is Silver Trace Ink, I must get it!"
"So, I need to add a life-saving trump card to myself, and without a doubt, the alchemical grenade is the best choice."
"I need to buy Hillland Metal!"
Morin understood the situation and his face looked a little grim, but he quickly adjusted himself and made a decision in his heart.
Refining grenades is also a good idea. The more alchemical grenades you have, the better. You just need to activate the spell and they will explode. It is always worth it to refine them.
Morin thought so, went out and headed for the trading area.
He thought about it, walked for a while, and came to a familiar place.
This is Gandalf's grocery store.
"Gandalf."
Maureen knocked gently on the counter, but Gandalf did not appear.
"Gandalf!" Morin was surprised, raised his eyebrows and shouted again.
"Who is it?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came out, and a young man with purple hair walked out. His face was covered with freckles, his eyes were filled with yellow eye boogers, and he looked unhappy, as if he had just woken up.
"Who are you? This isn't Gandalf's groceries..."
Mo Lin's gaze fell on the expression of the purple-haired young man and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Gandalf? So you're looking for that old guy." The purple-haired young man was stunned for a moment, then he laughed nonchalantly and said, "You're too late. Gandalf is dead. Now this shop is mine."
died?
"How did Gandalf die?" asked Morin.
"I heard that he was determined to become a formal wizard, so he went to the underground world with others to find precious materials to help him improve. In the end, he was killed. Some people also said that something went wrong during the promotion and he died directly in the secret room. Who knows..."
The purple-haired young man yawned loudly and muttered.
Suddenly, he became alert, stared at Morin, and said, "You called Gandalf just now, who are you? What are you doing here? Let me tell you, Gandalf owed me magic stones before, and now that he is dead, this shop will naturally belong to me, so you must not have any bad ideas..."
Maureen smiled and gave a brief explanation or two.
When he heard that Maureen was a regular customer of this grocery store and even a pharmacist, the purple-haired young man's attitude changed obviously.
He no longer showed any sign of impatience. With a smile on his face, he asked Morin to stay and look around his shop. He said he would give Morin various discounts and offers. He even patted his chest and vowed that what he gave was the best.
In response, Morin just smiled. After glancing at the purple-haired young man with a flattering look on his face, he walked in another direction without paying any more attention to the purple-haired young man.
"Gandalf is dead, so let's go to George..." Morin thought to himself.
But no one expected that Gandalf, who was so fond of taking advantage of others and was so concerned about the magic stone, would die.
How unpredictable!
Morin turned around and wanted to go to the place where the pharmacist apprentices communicated. It was a very separate area, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the front.
"No... no... no... I didn't..."
"False accusation... You are falsely accusing..."
Maureen found that some of the voices sounded familiar.
He walked over and was stunned.
Richard's face turned red as he was arguing loudly with a tall second-class apprentice. Their words were full of gunpowder and a fierce conflict could break out at any time. Lucy was hiding behind Richard, her eyes filled with tears and her face full of anxiety.
The wizard apprentices around just watched, whispering to each other from time to time, looking like they were enjoying the fun.
"Listen, Richard, you owed me the magic stone before, and you haven't paid it back yet, and now you want to destroy my magic item. Oh, damn, this is a magic item!"
The second-class apprentice shouted exaggeratedly, with a mocking look on his face, and said: "Richard, you have to compensate me, you have to compensate me, come, let's calculate, how many magic stones do you have to compensate me..."
"Frank, you are talking nonsense. I didn't say anything at all. You are just looking for trouble on purpose!" Richard looked excited and yelled at Frank, the second-class apprentice.
"You don't admit it?"
Frank's face immediately fell.
He clenched his fists, and the wizard energy in his body slowly surged. He said, "Okay, I will teach you a lesson today and let you know what you have done!"
Then Frank rushed forward and appeared beside Richard, and a huge fist smashed hard into Richard's forehead with a gust of wind.
But halfway through, Frank's fist was grabbed by a hand.
"What?" Frank was stunned.
When he looked over, he saw Maureen's expressionless face.
"Who are you? You dare to fight with me? You are really looking for death. Do you know that I am...ah!"
Frank cursed loudly, but then he let out a scream.
There was no other expression on Maureen's face. He moved his hand and with a click, Frank's palm bent strangely, forming a weird shape, and it was directly fractured.
As Frank screamed, Maureen reached out with her other hand and grabbed Frank's neck.
He exerted a little force, lifted Frank up, and then slammed him to the ground!
A muffled sound.
Frank felt a sharp pain coming from his neck, and his whole body seemed to be falling apart. He just opened his eyes on the ground, but he couldn't help but scream out of fright.
"ah!"
boom!
Maureen kicks Frank in the head.
With this kick, Frank flew up and hit the wall next to him heavily.
By the time Maureen slowly put down her feet, Frank had already fallen limply to the ground, his eyes white and motionless, having already fainted.
