Soon, Grim's own basic attribute was projected into his mind.

In their world, every normal human has some basic physical properties from birth. After exploring through the Adept of each generation, these physical attributes are gradually reduced to strength, Constitution, Agility, and Spiritual Force. And all Adept advanced is basically divided around these four basic attribute.

strength attributes quantify the muscle and body strength of a character. This attribute is particularly important for the melee Adept . The strength attribute can affect the base damage caused when using melee weapon, and can also affect melee attack hits.

For ordinary people, it is normal to have 3-5 points strength, and 5 points strength is already a strong adult.

Agility attributes quantify the hand-eye Coordination, flexibility, response, and balance. This attribute is very important for fighters who usually wear light or medium armor, or thieves wearing leather armor, and anyone who wants to become a good archer.

Constitution represents the Healthy and endurance of the character. Constitution bonus can increase the vitality of characters, so it is important for all professions.

A Fortitude save check against toxins and similar threats.

focus test. focus is an important skill for Caster, with Constitution as the key attribute.

Human Constitution is at least 1. Any human less than 1 will die!

Spiritual Force determines the ability of characters to learn and reason. This attribute is very important for Adept , because it determines the number of Witchcraft of cast that Adept can, the difficulty to resist them cast Witchcraft, and the power of Witchcraft.

Animal's Spiritual Force value is 1 or 2, and humanoid is at least 3. While ordinary people want to be Adept , the basic Spiritual Force attribute is at least 21.

From the analysis of the role of these attributes on the Adept profession level, the most important to Grim at present is the Spiritual Force attribute. Because as long as the Grim's Spiritual Force property reaches 21 points, he can step into the ranks of Official Adept one step at a time.

The only way to improve his Spiritual Force is to continuously perform meditation exercise, read Witchcraft books, or Witchcraft notes and experience of the old Adept .

But these are always out of reach!

Because in this cold and cruel Adept World, knowledge represents strength, and if you want to obtain strength, you need to pay a high price.

Why do so many Apprentice Adept know the dangers in Adept Tower and stay here regardless of the danger? Because all knowledge and resources are only available here. Stepping out of this Adept Tower, in human society, you just have the wealth of an enemy country, and it is difficult to find this system of Witchcraft knowledge and experience.

In the horrible Adept World, all the extraordinary casting magic skills and precious spell knowledge are monopolized by the Adept group. Ordinary mortals have no chance of contacting them!

Thus, knowledge and resources have become the two wings necessary for the Adept group to pursue their dreams. Only by really holding these two things in hand, the future of an Adept is bright!

After watching basic attribute, Grim focused on the skills bar again.

Grim's Profession Skill includes Scroll Copy and Spell Reading. This is also the most basic Profession Skill for Apprentice Adept.

One can make Apprentices very well transcribe the Witchcraft knowledge you need, and the other is the basis for reading Witchcraft books.

Without the Profession Skill of Spell Reading, ordinary people will be confused by the words attached above the super strength when they contact Witchcraft books, and they will make some incredible actions. Only Apprentice Adept who has undergone severe Spirit training can overcome this psychedelic effect and truly read the Witchcraft knowledge treasured in the Witchcraft books.

The only "Burning Hand" in the column of Personal Skill also marks that Grim has become the only Witchcraft attack method that Apprentice Adept has mastered in the past 6 years. Burning Hand, you can attached a group of elemental flame on your palm, so that all those who dare to touch their palms become roast pigs.

No way. Who is called Grim is still just a Apprentice Adept, it is impossible to completely drive any Witchcraft. You can only choose the appropriate basic particle to play some cool looks based on your own elemental affinity, in fact, the effect is very ordinary elements.

The basic particle with the highest Grim affinity degree is of course Fire Element!

This talent is not very good in swamp Tower. Because it is well known that Master Anderson's elemental affinity is dark particle and wind particle, which are also called dark element and Wind Element. The number of Grim's is not the same as that of the instructor. It will become more difficult to get the guidance of the other party. In many cases, I am afraid that I can only rely on myself to slowly explore.

This problem has really plagued Grim before. But now with the launch of Biochip, Grim believes that in the future, it will be able to find a Adept road that suits itself.

As for the Profession Experience column, Grim has a preliminary understanding after consulting the relevant information of the chip. Biochip summarizes the two prerequisites of Adept advanced through the past memory and knowledge of Grim.

First, of course, the original attribute Spiritual Force of Adept must meet the standard.

For example, Grim now has Spiritual Force8 points, which means that he is already a "smart person" far beyond ordinary people, but there is still a gap of 13 points from the 21 points required for advanced Official Adept . However, these can be improved by reading a lot of Witchcraft books.

Second, your own knowledge system must also meet the standards.

This also means that after raising Grim to Spiritual Force to 21:00, it is necessary to fully increase the current Profession Experience to be able to officially advance. Both are indispensable.

The way to get experience points is diversification. For example, Scroll Copy, Spell Reading, practice casting magic, make magic staff, analyze magic item ... In short, any knowledge accumulation involving arcanology field can bring a certain number of Profession Experience to Grim.

This sounds easy, but it's not easy way.

Because only successful processes can gain experience. A Witchcraft book, only Grim can really get the world's feedback only after it has read and understood it. Otherwise, I just read it in one breath, but I still don't use it.

So easier said than done, even with the help of Biochip, Grim still requires extremely hard work.

As Grim infinitely reveries, footsteps came from the corridor outside the house.

"Grim, come out quickly, it's time to go on a mission!" With a rough voice, a heavy hammer sounded on the wooden door.

Here is Tony, an Apprentice Adept equivalent to Grim.

The bottom apprentice like them need to inspect the surroundings of swamp Tower every 7 days and harvest some magical material appropriately. This is also one of the daily tasks entrusted to the Apprentices by the Tower master.

Grim responded with a simple sound, cleaned up the room briefly, took off the black coverall from the wall and put it on his body, and then opened the door and walked out of the room.

Tony broad shoulders and strong body, with a fierce face and long hair scattered casually, looks more like Barbarian. It is said that he came from a certain country of Grimm Highlands, and the people there did indeed have a thin Barbarian lineage in rumors.

After the two met, they didn't have any extra words to talk to each other. They nodded to each other and turned their heads along the dark corridor toward the stairway.

Although the time at this moment is daylight, Apprentices is rarely seen where the two pass by. Although there are more than 50 official apprentices in swamp Tower, but most of the day, Apprentices is either busy with his Witchcraft exercise or preparing various strange magic experiment. Few people hang out in public places .

This is one of the main reasons why swamp Tower is always cleared by coldly.

Crossing the dim promenade along the downward spiral Stone Staircase to the lobby on the first floor. The popularity here is a bit more active, because here are some Trainee Apprentice living area domains.

Most of them are between 8 and 14 years old, and the number is about 20 people.

These little guys from far away come here with their dreams of becoming Great Adept , but they have no idea how difficult and terrible the road to be Adept is, and there is nothing waiting for them in the future.

In the group Tower apprentice, in fact, there are strict divisions. Roughly speaking, most of these Spiritual Force convened children are between 3-5 points, so they are not really Apprentice Adept at present, they can only be called Trainee Apprentice.

Trainee Apprentice is here to learn the language and characters. After Meditation Technique passed the level, I felt my elemental affinity and successfully gathered elementium, then it was possible to climb to the second floor and become the official Apprentice Adept. Those who can't meet the requirements will be eliminated.

And assist these little guys to complete meditation, teach them to learn languages ​​and characters, and teach them the basic natural law of Adept World ... Of course these low-level activities cannot be done by the great Lord Adept, so they have also become Official Adept apprentice Tower daily.

But it's obviously impossible for such an easy daily task to land on Grim.

Say hello to Valence, who is teaching the Trainee Apprentice language course. The two ignored the eager and hot eyes of these little guys, went straight through the hall, and came to a closed stone gate.

Tony put his right hand on stone gate and whispered: "Kurim * Ada".

With the completion of magic code, the old stone gate slowly unfolds to the sides, and a dark and gloomy world outside the tower appears in front of the two.
