Chapter 7 - Chapter 0006 Mysterious Shadow

A simple burning hand witchcraft requires about 2 points of mental strength, which also indicates that Grimm can release 4 burning hands in one breath. However, of course, this is only a theoretical value, which is difficult to do in reality, because spiritual power is also the basis for apprentices to perform witchcraft.

The higher the mental value, the more it shows that the apprentice's mental strength is full. Whether it is thinking about problems or casting witchcraft, the effect can achieve its own best effect. However, with the continuous consumption of mental power, when the value is less than 1/3 of itself, the subject will fall into a state of mental depression. At this time, the biggest manifestation is dizziness, nausea and vomiting, and a listless look.

At this time, casting a witchcraft that can usually be completed in 5 seconds can't be completed in 10 seconds now, and the probability of casting failure will also rise sharply.

Therefore, when any wizard casts spells frequently, he will try his best to preserve part of his spiritual power to avoid many sequelae after his spiritual power is completely exhausted.

And Grimm now shows this symptom, which obviously shows that his mental strength is less than 5% and he has entered a state of mental exhaustion. The only solution to this situation is to get a good night's sleep and get enough sleep to recover your mental strength.

The chip is really easy to use, but what it consumes is Grimm's mental power when it runs. Therefore, sensing his own incomprit, Grim struggled to climb onto the bed, fell there and fell asleep.

Night will fall soon!

When a huge moonlight loomed in the dark sky, the candlelight in the tower was gradually extinguished. The originally cold swamp tower is becoming more and more silent!

I don't know when, a tall and strange shadow suddenly appeared in front of Grimm's bed, bending down slightly and staring at him silently.

Due to the huge exhaustion of mental strength, Grim slept restlessly. Even in his sleep, his eyebrows were frowning, looking painful.

The strange human figure turned his back to the moonlight, and his whole body was immersed in an inexplicable darkness. He couldn't see his appearance clearly, but only a pair of scarlet blood pupils flashed, which made people shiver.

"Blood... Blood... I want blood..."

The shadow tremblingly stretched out his hands to pinch Grimm's neck, but he always retracted inexplicably, as if he was extremely reluctant in his heart, with a fierce ideological struggle. And it repeated these words ambiguously, showing a chaotic state of mind.

Finally, a ray of clarity in the spiritual wisdom got rid of the strong desire for blood. He deeply glanced at Grimm, who knew nothing about it, and turned around and went out of the narrow window.

Outside the window is an almost straight Qinghui stone tower, and as a wizard's high tower, it is naturally attached to a terrible witchcraft array, and it is impossible to let outsiders go in and out at will. But strangely, when the shadow swam on the tower like a gecko, it did not trigger any witchcraft array.

Obviously, only wizard apprentices with witch charms can do this.

The shadow swam quickly on the periphery of the Wizard's Tower, with its speed and agility, which was breathtaking. Moreover, when it passed through, it deliberately chose the dark corner of the window sill and the place where the moonlight did not shine, so its whereabouts became more and more bizarre.

Its movement is both fast and light, and it does not make a sound in the process of moving. And it was even more scheming. It deliberately avoided several secret rooms that were still lit by candlelight. After searching for a long time, it found the most suitable target.

It hung in front of a narrow window and listened for a while. It made sure that the breathing sound coming from inside was steady and long, and then carefully climbed into the narrow window.

This time it stayed a little longer. When it crawled out of it again, a faint smell of blood floated beside it.

This successful hunting obviously made the shadow ambition proud. When he squatted on the narrow window to slip away, he inadvertently raised his face and glanced at the moon in the sky. At this moment, the huge bright moon drilled out of the dark clouds, and the bright silver-gray moonlight projected from the sky, shining on it.

This is the face of a young girl, with a pretty posture, fair and greasy skin, and blood stains on the two strange blood-sucking fangs that are slightly angry outside the lips.

The beautiful girl's slender tongue gently licked her fangs, sucked the blood on it into her mouth and tasted it, and then went out of the window and disappeared into the shadow of the moonlight.

......

Grimm was awakened by a sudden slamm of the door the next day.

Shaking his head, Grimm opened the door and was surprised to find that there were three people standing outside the door.

Apprentices Anxo, Apprentice Alan and Fenriel.

Anxor's status as an apprentice was personally appointed by Wizard Anderson, so his status is slightly noble. Usually, he can act as part of the duties of the wizard and manage all the wizard apprentices in the tower. In addition, he also has the strength of an intermediate apprentice, so all the apprentices have to obey his orders. Otherwise, once you are hated by him and do something casually in your high tower mission, you don't even know how to write the dead words.

As for the other two, Alan and Fenriel, are also junior wizard apprentices like Grimm. However, they are the best at slipping their beards and patting horses, and they are surrounded by Anxor's side to flatter all day long, so they are also close confidants of apprentices.

Therefore, as long as it is the place where Anxor appears, these two flatterers are absolutely indispensable. The two are more like the parasitic relationship between the killing tree and the blood-sucking vine. The two flatterers need Anxor's care to prioritize those easier and safe daily tasks, and Anxor also needs the support of two apprentices to deter those ambitious ambitious ambitious people.

Because Grimm is cold and lonely and rarely deals with outsiders, his relationship with them can only be considered good or bad. Therefore, I was very surprised that they suddenly appeared in front of their door.

Apprentice An Xuo is a young man in his twenties. He has eagle eyebrows and sharp eyes. Although his face is not fierce, he always gives people a sense of oppression. At the first moment when the wooden door was opened, Anxor's twinkling eyes fell on Grimm's face, vaguely giving him a feeling of burning skin.

Grimm's heart was cold.

He understands that this is the vision that occurs when the other party's strength is strong to a certain extent and the mental strength is too full.

In fact, there is also a strict hierarchy among the high tower apprentices.

Those who have only mastered one or two witchcraft and have a mental strength of less than 10 o'clock are junior wizard apprentices, who are at the bottom of this group. And those who have mastered three or four witchcraft and have a mental strength of 11 to 15 o'clock are considered intermediate wizard apprentices, and they are already leaders with little strength. And those who have mastered more than five witchcrafts and have reached and exceeded 16 points are the elites in the high tower - senior wizard apprentices.

Once an apprentice's mental strength reaches a critical value of 20 points, he is qualified to become a quasi-witch, and he will be looked at differently by the wizard and begin to prepare for the future impact wizard ritual.

Unfortunately, there is no real quasi-witch in the current swamp tower!

As for the Anxor in front of him, although the number of witchcraft he has mastered is unknown, with some special witch weapons, he can also exert his strength that is not weaker than that of senior wizard apprentices at some point. In the tower, there are only three who really have the strength of high-level apprentices, Hawkeye, Evil Insect and Madwoman.

Of course, this is not their name, but just their nickname.

Hawkeye's name is Cruza, and he is a terrible guy from the west coast. In order to enhance his strength, he actually transplanted an eagle's eye to himself and gained some strange powers.

The evil worm is called Entic. He is a guy who is more evil than Hawkeye. He actually raised a group of terrible insects with his own flesh and blood. When fighting with him, if you are not on guard, it will be a terrible ending that will eat the heart of thousands of insects.

And the last madwoman is even more violent. A huge iron sword far more than the height of ordinary people beats all over the wizards and apprentices, and she is a terrible guy that no one dares to provoke.

These people, either mastering powerful witchcraft or having strange special abilities, have long been separated from the identity of ordinary apprentices and have become the most potential popular candidates in the high tower to hit the quasi-witch.

Therefore, in the face of the burning gaze of a powerful wizard apprentice, Grimm was obviously mentally exhausted and his mind was greatly suppressed.

"Glim, something happened in the tower last night! Do you know?" Apprentice Anxor looked at Grimm and did not open his mouth. Instead, it was Alan next to him shouting there.

"What happened? What's the matter? Someone was devoured by the witchcraft experiment?" Obviously, Grimm hasn't figured out the situation.

"It's not the witchcraft experiment, but someone was killed. It's in his residence!" Looking at Grimm's confused eyes and surprised expression, Anxor said slowly, and his eyes still did not let go of any change on Grim's face.

"Attrat and kill?" Grimm was shocked at first, and then shocked: "Who is dead!"

Although there are accidental deaths of wizard apprentices in the swamp tower from time to time, most of them die in dangerous missions and strange witchcraft experiments, but there has never been a precedent of being killed by others. After all, every wizard apprentice trained is the precious wealth of Master Anderson, the high tower wizard. He does not allow the apprentices to kill each other due to internal strife.

Once such a thing is discovered by him, the violator must be severely punished.

"Mire!"

Grim frowned.

He knows that this Mire is also an ordinary apprentice who has only mastered witchcraft, and he doesn't know much about other situations. I only vaguely remember that he was a boy with freckles on his face, and he was younger than himself.

"Then you came to me because you want to..."

"We need to check your room. This is not specifically for you, but all suspected wizard apprentices need to be checked. Anxor said coldly.

"Yes, everyone's rooms must be checked. Get out of the way quickly, or the wizard will blame you. Can you afford it?" Fenrier is undoubtedly the most annoying person, shouting desperately beside him.

A trace of anger rose from the bottom of Grimm's heart, but he gritted his teeth and slowly endured it.

Search everyone?

Do you dare to search the room of Eagle Eye? Do you dare to search the evil worm's room? Not to mention the crazy girl's room. I'm afraid I'm really going to meet a crazy girl. You guys still have to take a detour!

Although his heart was furious, Grime's face was only a little ugly. After hesitating for a moment, he finally turned sideways to open the door.
