Gilnis.
In Continent Central, this small town with only 10,000 people is really inconspicuous.
As the marginal territory of Sarubo Clan, there is no full-featured Adept Tower, but only a bluestone paved stone Tower.
As the number of Sarubo Clan Adept has been decreasing in recent years, the main Adept strength has been concentrated in those core territories. For example, this bluestone Tower in Gilneas has not been stationed by Official Adept for 37 years.
Because of the lack of necessary manual maintenance, the outer wall of Qingshi Tower has been covered by creeping plants climbing everywhere, and the iron fence over two meters high is also rusty. go with.
The small gardens once full of flowers have also been abandoned. There are only overgrown weeds and a dried up pond in the flower garden. The bluestone trail that extends from the garden gate to the Stone tower gate has also been covered by fallen leaves and dust. It seems that no one has passed through it for a long time.
So when the Grim's black carriage stopped at the gate of the garden, it was just such a desolate and desolate scene.
"Sir, why don't we find a hotel to settle down, and then find someone to clean up here?" Sablina has a weird shape, so we always use black-robed to cover ourselves when we go out. Seeing the scene in front of her, she suggested while helping Grim to get off the carriage.
As for Billy, I acted as a groom along the way, and stood at the side and stood and stood.
Grim is a black Adept robe. It doesn't have the powerful Witchcraft of attached, but just a simple energy shield. Since there is no need to fight for the time being, three Aion Stones are included in the lumbar pouch. Grim held ‘Destroy Flame’ Sorcerer Staff in his hand and walked into the garden first.
When stepping into the garden gate, Grim clearly felt a weak detection wave sweeping over his body.
Well, the Witchcraft facility here has not completely failed?
Grim stepped forward with suspicion. The tangled vine branches suddenly came back alive, and retreated to the sides like a snake, giving way.
噔 噔 噔 ...
The Sorcerer Staff in Grim's hands lightly taps the slate and walks through the bluestone path hiding in the weeds and vines. As he moved forward step by step, the Variation magic vine in front of him stepped back, and even some white bones appeared on the exposed slate.
On the side of the bone, there are still broken daggers and decaying ropes.
Obviously, these are some Adept wealth, who want to take advantage of Tower when no one comes to fight the autumn wind.
Where do these ignorant guys know the horror of Adept ? Even if this Tower is left unattended, it is not something that these mortals can set foot on!
Planting some Magicked vines and bloodthirsty plants near the Adept residence is a popular protection method in the Adept world. These magical plants are not only bloodthirsty and brutal, but also have long vitality. Even if they don't have time to protect them, they will not easily die.
For ordinary people, these carnivorous plants are simply a terrible creature comparable to monster. But for the Adept , they are the most tame and cute 'watch dogs'.
Across the zigzag garden less than 100 meters, Grim came to the Stone tower gate.
When he tapped on the heavy stone gate with Sorcerer Staff, an old face emerged from above.
"You have 5 time to say your passphrase, otherwise you will be punished by Adept !"
"The light of Yale!"
"The password is correct! Welcome you, Lord Adept."
With the disappearance of the Witchcraft servant, the door, which has been sealed for many years, finally opens in a sound of creaking friction.
"Sablina, take my identity token and start the core sorcerer array under Stone tower!"
"Billy, please visit the managers here and let them report the latest situation to me tonight!"
After sending the two followers away, Grim started walking around in the tower.
Stone tower on the third floor. The first floor is the place where apprentice and the general service rest. The second floor has a simple library and alchemy lab. The third floor is the residence of Adept . The three layers are connected by a spiral Stone Staircase with an Stone tower corner.
It can be seen that the last time Adept left was decades ago. Although Stone tower also has some protective measures, Apprentice Adept regularly returns here to supplement Magic Crystal, but the energy pool is always in the energy-deficient status/mode.
This has also caused most of the air-closed windows to be ineffective. The dust and erosion of time have made the living facilities in the tower unusable. In some rooms, the magic vine has already covered half of the wall. It seems that if you want to live here, you must carefully clean both inside and outside.
Grim pushed open the wooden door and came to a bedroom-like room.
A table, a chair and a wooden bed.
The whole room is extremely shabby.
Grim's keen eyes swept quickly across the room, slowly walked to the wooden table, and brushed away a thick layer of dust with his hands, exposing a line of weird text resembling a magic pattern.
"death is with me!"
…………
After hearing about the arrival of Grim's, it took only half an hour for Gilneas to send someone to Bluestone Tower.
The gloomy first-floor side hall.
Deteriorated and outdated furniture have been cleaned up.
A fine red tung wood dining table is temporarily set up here, Grim leans leisurely on high back chair, while tasting the delicious small foie gras, while silently examining Alva Viscount with a smile in front of it.
Alva Viscount is the manager appointed here by Sarubo Clan, and the owner of Gilneas.
At the moment, the other side is holding a dozen thick parchment papers, and continuously reports on the development of the town in recent years with a slight hint of frustration. For this information, Grim is not interested at all, but he did not say anything to interrupt the other party.
After all, they are all waiting for the real ‘protagonist’ tonight!
An hour later, when Alva Viscount recited some dryness, there was a crisp sound of horseshoes hitting the bluestone slab outside Tower.
The two Apprentice Adept servants came in immediately.
They are the two Chief Apprentices sent by Sarubo Clan to mines and resource points.
The Chief Apprentice stationed in the Iron Circle excavation site is a Pseudo-Adept named Yuri. He also took over the troubled Sac Chief Apprentice two months ago. The Morse guy who is stationed at the Level 2 resource point is also an Pseudo-Adept.
After seeing the arrival of two Chief Apprentice, Alva Viscount, who has been smiling all the time, flashed back to the side and gave the stage to them.
As for the name of Fire Demon, although the two Pseudo-Adept have been out of the country, they have been heard for a long time. So I suddenly saw Grim and immediately came over to salute.
After seeing the three of them being obedient to themselves, Grim extinguished the idea of standing up and started asking the two Chief Apprentice about the situation ahead.
"The situation is fine for me. The resource point has apprentice23 and 17 miscellaneous servants. During this time, I have strictly prohibited them from going out easily, so nothing happened!" Morse couldn't help but smile and said: Lord Grim, your two apprentice came to report last month. I have arranged them in the inner courtyard, and there is no problem in terms of safety ... "
Grim didn't speak, just rushed to his head slightly.
A few days ago, three of the four Advanced Level apprentice under Grim were sent here by the family. Therefore, in public and in private and Grim can only run this trip, and use their own wings to protect these unlucky eggs that have been hit by the pond fish.
"I also just came here with a Advanced Level apprentice, and I have arranged for ore supervision. Although this work is a bit complicated, there is no problem in safety ..." Yuri also quickly explained two sentences, and then his face appeared Hesitant look appeared: "Someone was missing a few days ago at the mine. Although no clue was found, I suspect ..."
"Alva Viscount, have you stayed in Gilneas for more than ten years. Have you seen any unusual characters in the vicinity these days?" Grim arrived at the beginning and knew nothing about the situation here. Currently, All sources of information can only rely on these three.
"Master, you also know that Gilneas City does not have any decent Adept resources, so Lord Adept rarely stays here. However, there are a few temporary apprentice. I have sent someone to monitor them secretly, and Nothing unusual! "Alva Viscount frowned, telling all the information he knew about it, it sounded like there was nothing wrong with it.
"Well, you need to work together on local matters. Yuri and Morse, each control their own territory, do not let the enemy infiltrate. Alva, you need to do more to monitor the movement of the periphery. The wind was blowing, and I immediately reported the information to me. I live in Stone tower temporarily ... "
"Sir, this Stone tower has not been taken care of for decades. Do you want to go to my castle for a few days and rest, and I will find someone to fix it before you move in?" Alva Viscount face pleased Smile: "Although the city of Gilneas is small, the big and small nobles in the city have already heard of your reputation. They are waiting for you at this moment. Do you think ..."
When it comes to this, Alva Viscount has an ambiguous smile on his face.
"Let ’s consider things like entertainment when the situation is calm! The only thing we need to do now is to do our own work and wait to see the changes in the situation!" Grim declined the other's proposal lightly. .
He can feel that when he rejected Alba's Viscount banquet request, the Spirit of the two Chief Apprentices fluctuated slightly.
It seems a little disappointing.
It seems that in the days when Adept was not stationed, the private relationship between the two Chief Apprentice and the Lord of the City was quite close.
After the three of them left, Grim called Sablina and Billy again.
"Tonight, you two will find a room to stay on the first floor, sleep well, do n’t go out if you are fine!" After that, Grim raised his eyebrows, and coldly asked, "Did you hear me?"
"Yes, sir!"
Sablina and Billy hurriedly leaned over.
For no reason, their hearts were tight, and they always felt that something would happen in the tower tonight!
