Age of Adepts

Chapter 76. New mandates

Once again, when Grimm returned to the ground, instead of the last glimmer, he had a hint of anticipation.

Every step of an elite apprentice's growth in a training camp moves forward on the white bones of a corrupt apprentice, so Grimm must draw on the flesh and blood of these underground peers to grow himself if he is to rise quickly.

After assembling in the Mission Hall, the team of nine embarked once again on a dangerous underground tour.

Both Matthew's accidental death and Leo's serious injuries made the team members aware of the dangers of the underground world, and when the outpost was briefly stopped, everyone was caught in a quarrel over how to accomplish their mission.

The wounds on Leo still drag him.

Of course, those flesh wounds had healed long ago, but other scrotum Fae curses that haunted his heart made him suffer. But after more than a decade of conditioning, he finally got rid of the curse. But it's hard to recover to the best in a short period of time.

So it also means that the underground mission team is missing a senior apprentice, and quasi-witch Leo can only be used as a senior apprentice.

The team's lack of strength left them without the courage and conservatism of the last time, and they offered to complete the task in a full team trip. While this will take three or four times as long, it is undoubtedly best to do so safely.

Those black bastards must not have the guts to storm a task force with three quasi-watches and five senior apprentices!

Upon Isaac's presentation, this proposal was immediately echoed by most senior apprentices.

The temporarily lit bonfires cast leaping light on the faces of each team member, leaving a shadow on their high, low, and uneven faces. Each team member hid his or her expression in the shadows, leaving only Isaac's generous and exhilarating statement on the field.

“… we can no longer afford another cut in strength. If there is another downsizing this time, the next time we will be in a worse position. So wasting some time is necessary to better ensure that we accomplish our mission! …… ”

Agreed!

“I think Isaac's right! ”

“Agree!”

Three other senior apprentices, Sheila, Leander and Bruce, all quickly expressed their approval, while the only senior apprentice without a voice, Mary, stood in the shadow of a rocky peak beyond the reach of the bonfire.

So everyone had to look at Sabrina, who had always been a team leader.

Sabrina lifted her head and looked around, and there was a special mechanical sound coming out of her eyeballs.

Compared to the last time, she had apparently undergone mechanical witchcraft modifications with slightly weird changes in her head. But the change is there, the weirdness is there, and no one can make it clear. That's more of an implicit feeling!

Sabrina retracted her gaze, and as she opened her mouth to announce something, a slightly strange voice suddenly rang in the makeshift camp.

“You want to form a team, you can form a team together, but Mary and I are only on one mission. ”

This voice became clearer and stronger, and everyone was surprised when they followed their reputation. Because Hercules was talking about the drag bottle, the junior apprentice Grimm, that they didn't consider a member of the team at all.

No, he can no longer be called the Junior Apprentice Grim, but the Intermediate Apprentice Grim.

No one cares about Grimm's strength.

In this gloomy underground world, it is difficult for senior apprentices to preserve themselves in the face of danger, and a newly promoted intermediate apprentice may not even have the ability to escape the aftermath of battle for the strong. That is why the discussion that has just taken place has been to exclude him.

Mary, who was invisible in the dark, remained silent, apparently acquiescing in the matter. And this is undoubtedly more confusing.

“Are you sure you know what you're talking about?” Sabrina had a slightly lower and strange voice on the scene. Although the words do not mean threatening, there is no doubt that there is a strong and inviolable momentum.

“Kid, you just stay put. There is no room for you to speak here. If you really want to act alone, go to the deepest cave!” Isaac is not so implicit and full of menacing growls.

“Okay, let's go to the deepest cave!” Grim answered neatly.

“You... what did you say?” Isaac had a strange look on his face.

“I said that Mary and I would go on the furthest cave mission, and then we would go straight back to the Wizard Tower. You can take your time walking around the other 4 mission points! ”

“You…”

Not to say Isaac this time, even the other two quasi-watches lifted their heads and once again carefully weighed this unspeakable intermediate apprentice. But no matter how they detect perceptions, the spiritual fluctuations that this young boy gives back are faint, completely unlike the disguise of a certain master.

What does he have to do with it, or is there something weird about Mary in red?

No answer could be found on Grimm, and people had to turn their eyes to Mary in the shadows.

Hmm, this asshole who pretends to be a god and plays the devil with me every time!

Marie roared madly in the heart, but on the surface, she remained calm and serene. Only under the protection of blurred blood fluorescence, 3 quasi-witches also have difficulty seeing her strength through the protection of blood witch power.

“Is that what you mean?” Sabrina was sitting there, but a bully had rolled over to Marine.

“Yes! Give us the mission item! ”

Marie stepped out of the shadows and spread out some brilliant white right hand, facing Sabrina, the quasi-woman.

Halfway silent, a magical wand of witchcraft was thrown into Mary's hands.

Mary Cohesion tested the authenticity of the prop, nodded satisfactorily, and closed the prop and turned toward the winding pit.

“Wait a minute! Here you go, too. ”

This time Sabrina threw a crystal ball.

After the Mary Cohesion Examination, her beautiful face slightly stunned and her elusive head slightly nodded towards Sabrina.

“Thanks! I owe you one.” No more words, no more grime in the darkness of the distance.

Sabrina's right face outside the semi-silver mask has no half-silk expression, except that the left eye, which transforms into a mechanical false eye, constantly emits a ray of gorilla heat outward.

“Let's go too! There's still a long way to go. ”

After a long time, Sabrina's low voice finally sounded again.

At this moment, Grimm and Mary have traveled through a dark underground world.

For the first time, the summoned crocodile hunter actually swallowed them together and sank them into the dust of darkness, passing through the dark caves and pits one after the other according to the instructions of the witchcraft props.

Luckily Mary is not an overweight guy. Instead, after embracing Marie in her arms, Grimm felt a little too thin and soft. But the touch feels warm and smooth, with a hint of fragrance in the dark, and it feels great.

There is no way, the indigenous demon puppet is able to free up limited space, and the two can only be crowded in a hugging position.

The gesture of the two may seem too glamorous to outsiders, but Grimm is not at all comfortable. Because Mary's ten sharp, sharp nails were moving behind him, and her pointy, horrible canine teeth were resting on his neck. If Grimm had any ghost thoughts, and Mary acted faster than she thought, she would surely leave him with a deep and indelible memory!

Cough, that's probably the code of personal conduct that Mary's been following: I'm flirting with you, okay. Don't you dare move so slightly, I'll make you feel like a boner!

Grimm grinned his teeth despite the tangled limbs, but he was afraid that if he could not control them, he would cause him no delusion. Fortunately, there are still many things that can distract him, so when his mind sinks into the alligator hunter's special vision, he also forgets the embarrassment in front of him and turns his attention to manipulating the diving direction of the demon puppet.

The crystal balls that Sabrina threw at Marie as she walked away were exactly the route she had discovered on her last tour, as well as the distribution of underground creatures and monsters she might encounter along the way.

With this clear 3D map, combined with the subtle directional control of the chip, the crocodile hunter encounters holes all the way through the earth and passes through the rocky walls. A long way around will only be considered if you encounter a large area of solid rock formations.

So it took Sabrina 27 hours to get to the mission site last time, and Grimm ran to it in four hours.

Grimm jumped off the crocodile with Mary in her arms when she emerged in a small, dark, quiet melting hole.

Once again, the location of the mission point was confirmed with props, less than 200 metres from where they were, and the two of them were relieved, but were alert again.

Those underground black bastards are infinitely witchcraft, and ghosts know if they're going to set some trigger traps near the mission site. Once they detect the whereabouts, the subsequent journey can be ten times more dangerous.

But Grim is comfortable with it.

Because today, in addition to completing the mandatory tasks given by the Wizard Tower, he has another more important task to complete.

Training Camp Elite Mission!

In addition to grabbing rare underground resources, even on a day-to-day basis, the elite wizard apprentices of both sides find ways to combat the ambush of each other's apprenticeship teams whenever they have the chance.

Deeper beneath the ground, there are not only scarce resources, but also special metallic ores rarely found in the surface world. Most of these mines and resource sites, however, are in the hands of corrupt wizards, each guarded by a team of 5 to 10 apprentices.

Today Grimm's mission as an elite apprentice is to raid Pit 7!
