Age of Adepts

Chapter 71 Training Camps

Numerous apprentices struggling to sleep in a dark circle roared and drilled out of the tent, loudly cursing this poor companion. But when they saw the unhappy young figure standing in front of the boulder, they could only wave their arms a few times with resentment and mumble back into the tent.

Spinning, myriad of different colors of witchcraft fluorescence lit up on many tents. These guys in desperate need of sleep can only use witchcraft to block outside interference and continue their dreams.

It took Grimm half an hour to breathe heavily and drain his mental strength to a very low level.

In his acute perception, there is still a constant source of fire in the body that releases from deep into the musculoskeletal flesh, soothing and filling his mental loss. It's just that the process has been much slower than it was at the beginning, and it's already within the limits of its mental capacity.

“How are you feeling now?” A low voice suddenly came from behind.

Grimm looked back, turning out to be the black Kevin.

“Do you know how many people in the camp envy you yesterday for eating hazel?” Kevin held his arm and his face was filled with an obscure smile: “That was yesterday's fire dragon meal, but many people in the camp dreamed of something they wouldn't get. Being invited to dinner by Alfred is a happier thing to do than winning the basement! ”

“Those meats are expensive, aren't they?” Grimm scratched his head.

“Expensive? Not too expensive! On the market, the firecracker dragon's fresh meat steak is just a kilo of 100 magic crystals and a glass of 200 magic crystals of dragon blood. ”

Though it's easy to listen to Kevin, Grimm always has the feeling that he's biting his teeth.

Now Grimm is no longer the first-born, worthless, hairy boy. The significance of the Crystal is now clearly estimated.

Trial apprentices like him who run simple underground exploration missions also bring mission benefits of around 5 contribution points and 10 magic crystals per trip underground. And an elite apprentice like Kevin, who gets about 10 contribution points and 30—40 Magic Crystals for an underground mission.

An elite apprentice with two or three hundred magic crystals in his hand is already a big figure in the basic expenses of purchasing materials and adding essentials. Otherwise, yesterday's battle came down, how could so many elite apprentices bite Grimm in the teeth and hate the look of him.

It can be said responsibly that Grimm almost squeezed out the elite apprentice's Crystal Reserve throughout the training camp as a result of these two games. Without bald Alfred, I'm afraid there will be countless apprentices waiting to knock on his stuffy stick as soon as he steps out of the camp!

Even with so much “unjust wealth”, when Grimm hears the true price of the dragon's flesh, he can't help but begin to twitch the muscles on his face.

After suppressing for half a day, Grimm finally couldn't bear the roar of the sky.

“I knew it was so expensive, I was yesterday... I must have...”

“Must you dare not touch it? ”

“Be sure to eat more! ”

“ …… ”

Two laughs, when they face each other again, the eyebrows actually smell a little closer.

In fact, Grimm has been in awe of these elite apprentices from the first day of his life and death. Don't look at the fact that he has turned over two somewhat named senior apprentices in a row, but that's just a loud and loud field duel after all. The strength of Grimm, a junior apprentice, is still too weak if the venue restrictions for confrontation are lifted and the witchcraft tactics for confrontation are disregarded.

He is only an auxiliary demon puppet, but his body is too weak and too weak.

If you throw him and the blackwood into an old forest in the deep mountains, there are hundreds of ways to play with the cursed black wood that owes him death. And if the enemy he fought was replaced by Kevin in front of him, Grimm would never know how he died.

He could not hide in the ground all day to avoid enemy attacks, and he always needed to return to the ground to eat, drink and sleep. And the moment he relaxed, maybe the enemy took his life quietly.

So even though his combat skills have been recognized by most, Grimm still knows exactly what he is. He may be able to pose a threat to some of the people in the camp, but it is not enough to be fatal enough for the camp members to receive him in a more tolerant manner.

If Grimm is really mesmerized by the false halo of two gambling attempts, and delusions about dating them as the powerful, I'm afraid all that can be gained is endless hostility and resentment.

So when Kevin showed a little goodwill, Grimm was instantly ten times more enthusiastic.

Kevin is a lot older than Grimm, but he is only 278 years old, and he still falls within the category of young people, so there is not much separation between the two.

After a few conversations, Kevin threw an old cloth pocket at Grimm.

“This is the bet you won yesterday after your victory. Fear of inconvenience, most of them will be converted into magic cards that can be redeemed directly at all the Wizard Tower locations in Scatter Tallinn. It's a lot easier than you rocking the city with thousands of magic crystals! ”

Grimm was pleased to hear the news and thanked him with a loud voice.

“What are these little things worth thanking for? By the way, I'd like to thank you! I couldn't have made a fortune yesterday without you. Ha ha, don't talk about the scene when you see the guy's face all green! ”

Grimm scrubbed her hands and some didn't know how to answer. Kevin is good, but he seems to have more sinners!

“Don't worry, Alfred has spoken and from now on you will be part of my team. You may not know these things yet, because when Alfred said these things, you seemed to have been lifted out of the cabin.” Kevin couldn't help laughing. But Grimm can still hear the unspeakable envy.

“Brother Kevin, I wonder if you could introduce me to the duties and responsibilities of the camp apprentice! ”

“Ha ha, of course. Come on, I'll take you back to the Wizard Tower. I'll show you exactly what's going on in this training camp on the way! ”

So when Grimm returned to the Wizard Tower residence with this huge sum in his arms, he finally had a preliminary understanding of the purpose of the camp.

Camp Camp Camp, like its name, is indeed a camp for the training of elite apprentices, but it is also a large collection of interests that sustain the small wizard family.

Know that the name Dark Grotto, in addition to referring specifically to the deep underground world of darkness, encompasses nearly 30,000 miles of extensive mountain forests and abundant resources around the Crera Mountains. It is also one of the most oily areas in the entire Dagon region.

The second-degree sorcerer, stationed in a shadowy cave by the Scattered Tallinn Wizards Association, has been hiding in the Wizards Tower for many years, with little appearance. Only if there was no major incident where the corrupt wizards broke out of the ground, he was almost ignorant of what was happening here and was intoxicated by his witchcraft experiments.

Though he would occasionally sneak into the depths of the earth, that was much more than gathering knowledge and resources for his experiments, rarely truly participating in the confrontation between surface and corrupt wizards.

So let's really say that 17 first-order wizards with the Tower of Dark Ground Wizards are the real story people here about everything. And each of them stands behind a family of wizards who are important in the Dagon region.

If the strength of these wizard families were placed in front of the Scanditalin Wizards Association, it would certainly be blind and could only be considered a small family of wizards. But in this region of Dagon, they were covert snakes. Ordinary human aristocrats and chambers of commerce can only share a cup here under their wings, constantly usurping rich revenues from the Crera Mountains.

Medicine, wood, specialty plants, fur, beast cores, mysterious monsters… can be found here as long as you can think of materials and resources. Countless hunting teams and expeditions travel between the mountain valleys of the Crera Mountains, constantly bringing back precious resources, bringing the most rewarding to the funders behind them.

But after all, it's just a low-end resource, and what really fills the wizards' families up with is the witchcraft materials that come from the underground world. Dark grass, ghost mushrooms, night stones, etc. are the main reasons why even the official wizard hearts and minds of the wizard family flourish for hundreds of thousands of years.

Ordinary people simply do not have the ability to dig deep underground to collect these resources, and only these mysterious people with special means - the Wizard Apprentice - have the ability to cross the land of underground creatures and bring back these enviable rare resources from specific areas.

The 17 resident wizards in the Wizard Tower also represent 17 of the finest families of wizards in the Dagon region. For one day, they represent the resource interests of this family of wizards. But as full wizards, of course, they don't do the rough, time-consuming misdeeds, so what replaces them in fulfilling their mission is the apprenticeships of descendants chosen from their families.

This ensures the continuity of family interests as well as the training of some of the best of the younger generations, so this training camp was born.

If the 17 wizards in the tower are representatives of the wizard family, then the elite apprentices in this camp are the wizard family's fighters. Wherever things happen that infringe on the interests of their families, they are the executors who come forward to defend them and face them.

Of course, if a family dispatched or funded expedition finds rare warcraft or artifacts in the Crera Mountains that they cannot take, their family's apprentices stationed here will also need to contribute their strength to provide strong witchcraft support to the expedition.

However, the greatest focus of these elite apprentices' activities is still in the dark caves.

Only there is the lifeblood of the wizard family.
