Age of Adepts Chapter 6: Mysterious Shadow
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no popup, free to read!
A simple Burning Hand Witchcraft requires about 2 points of Spiritual Force, which also indicates that Grim can produce 4 times of Burning Hand from cast in one breath. But of course this is just a theoretical value, which is very difficult to achieve in reality, because Spiritual Force is also the basis for Apprentices to perform Witchcraft.
The higher the value of Spiritual Force, the more the Spiritual Force of apprentice is full. No matter you think about it or cast Witchcraft, the effect can reach your best effect. However, with the continuous consumption of Spiritual Force, when the value is lower than one-third of its own, Host's Body will fall into Spirit and slump status/mode. At this time, the biggest manifestation was dizziness, nausea and nausea, and a listless look.
At this time casting magic, a Witchcraft that can be completed in 5 seconds, I am afraid that it may not be completed in 10 seconds, and the probability of casting magic failure will also rise.
So any Adept will try to keep a part of Spiritual Force when casting magic is frequent, to avoid many sequelae after Spiritual Force is completely exhausted.
And Grim now shows this symptom, apparently indicating that his Spiritual Force has fallen below 5% and entered Spirit failure status/mode. The only solution to this situation is to take a deep sleep and restore your Spiritual Force with plenty of sleep.
The chip is really good to use, but it consumes Grim's Spiritual Force when it runs. Feeling his own fault, Grim struggled to crawl on the bed, fell there and fell asleep.
Night is coming soon!
When a huge moon disk loomed in the dim sky, the candlelight in Tower also went out for the second time. The already cold swamp Tower became more and more dead!
I don't know when, a strange black shadow of tall suddenly appeared in front of the bed of Grim, slightly leaning down and watching him silently.
Because Spiritual Force consumes too much, Grim doesn't sleep well. Even in the sleep, his eyebrows are still frowning, a painful look.
The weird human shape is facing away from moonlight. The whole figure is immersed in an inexplicable darkness, and it is difficult to see the appearance, but only a pair of scarlet blood pupils twinkling and dazzling.
"Blood ... blood ... I want blood ..."
The black shadow trembled and stretched out. both hands wanted to hold the Grim's neck, but he always retracted inexplicably, as if reluctant in his heart, a fierce ideological struggle. And it repeatedly murmured these words in his mouth, showing the chaotic Spirit status/mode.
Finally, a clear line of spiritual wisdom cleared it from its strong desire for blood, took a deep glance at Grim, who knew nothing about it, and turned to stretch out the narrow window.
Out of the window is the almost straight augite tower. As Adept Tower, the above is naturally attached with a terrible magical array. It is impossible to let outsiders in and out at will. However, it is extremely strange that this black shadow, like a gecko, generally walks up the tower, but it does not trigger any magical array.
And obviously, only Apprentice Adept with magic talisman can do it.
Black Shadow walks quickly around the Adept Tower. The swift figure and Agility action are simply breathtaking. And when it passed, it deliberately chose the corners of the window sill and where the moonlight shined, so its whereabouts seemed more and more erratic.
It's quick and light, and it didn't make a slight sound when moving. And it had a plan, deliberately avoided a few secret rooms still lit by candlelight, and searched for a long time, then found a most suitable target.
It hung in front of a narrow window and listened for a while, making sure that the breathing sound from inside was smooth and long, and then carefully climbed into the narrow window.
It stayed a little longer this time, and when it crawled out of it again, a faint blood smell wafted on its side.
The successful hunt apparently made Heiyingzhi proud. He squatted down the narrow window and unconsciously raised his face and glanced at the moon in the sky. Just at this moment, a huge bright moon emerged from the dark clouds, and the bright silver-gray moonlight projected from the sky, just shining on it.
This is a young girl's face with a pretty face and white and greasy skin. Two weird Vampire cavities slightly irritated outside the lips show blood on them.
The beautiful young girl's delicate scented tongue licked her cavities and sucked in the blood on her mouth to taste it. Then she stepped out of the window and disappeared into the shadow beyond moonlight.
…………
Grim was awakened the next day by a rapid clap.
While still shaking his head, Grim opened the door, only to be surprised to find that there were actually three people standing outside the door.
Chief Apprentice Ankesuo, apprentice Alan, and Fenrir.
Ankesuo's Chief Apprentice status was personally designated by Adept Anderson, so his status is slightly more valuable. He can usually act as part of Lord Adept's duties and manage all Apprentice Adept in the tower. In addition, he also has the strength of Intermediate Level apprentice, so his orders, all Apprentices Ling Ran to obey. Otherwise, once he is resentful, do whatever you want in your Tower task, then you do n’t even know how to write.
As for the other two, Alan and Fenrir are also Novice Apprentice Adept identities like Grim. However, they are most adept at slipping and clapping horses. They have been around Ankesuo all day to please flattery, so they are also Chief Apprentice's confidants.
So as long as Ankesuo appears, these two farts are absolutely indispensable. The two are more like the parasitic relationship between killer tree and Blood Sucking Demon Vine. The two bullshits need the care of Ankesuo in order to give priority to those relatively easy and safe daily tasks, and Ankesuo also needs two apprentice standing feet to cheer up the ambitious ambitionists.
Grim Because of his cold and lonely personality, he rarely deals with outsiders, so the relationship with them can only be considered good or not. So surprised that they suddenly appeared in front of them.
Chief Apprentice Ankesuo is a young man in his twenties with hawk nose and sharp eyes. Although his face is not vicious, it always gives people a sense of oppression. When the wooden door opened for the first moment, Ankesuo flickered with strange eyes and landed on Grim's face, giving him a vague feeling of skin burning.
Grim's heart is dark.
He understands that this is the anomaly that would occur if Spiritual Force was too full after the opponent's strength was already strong to a certain level.
In fact, between Tower apprentice, there is also strict equal order division.
Those who only have one or two Witchcraft and Spiritual Force below 10 are Novice Apprentice Adept, which is the lowest level of this group. And mastered three to four Witchcraft, Spiritual Force at 11 to 15 points is considered Intermediate Level Apprentice Adept, has been considered a small powerful figure. And those who have mastered more than five Witchcraft, Spiritual Force reached and exceeded 16 points, are considered the elite in Tower-Advanced Level Apprentice Adept.
And once a apprentice Spiritual Force reaches the 20-point threshold, then he will be eligible to become Pseudo-Adept, and will be faced with Lord Adept, and start to prepare for the future Adept ceremony.
Unfortunately, the current swamp Tower does not yet have a true Pseudo-Adept!
As for the Ankesuo in front of you, although the number of Witchcraft mastered is unknown, with some special Sorcerer Artifact, at some time, it can exert its strength not less than Advanced Level Apprentice Adept. Within Tower, there are only three of them with high rank apprentice strength, Hawkeye, Evil Insects and Crazy Lady.
Of course, this is not their name, but their nickname.
Hawkeye is called Crousaz, a terrible guy from the west coast. In order to enhance his own strength, he even transplanted an Hawkeye to himself, and obtained some weird abilities.
Evil Insects is called Entik. He is a more evil guy than Hawkeye. He even raised a group of terrible bugs with his own flesh. When confronted with him, one of the terrible endings where all the insects ate their hearts without warning.
The last Crazy Lady is full of violent madness, a huge iron sword far beyond the height of ordinary people hit Apprentice Adept without opponents, and it is a terrible guy who no one dares to provoke.
They have either mastered the powerful Witchcraft or possessed weird special abilities. They have already departed from the ordinary apprentice status and become the most popular candidates within Tower with the potential to impact Pseudo-Adept.
So in the face of the scorching gaze of Powerful Apprentice Adept, Grim's obvious Spirit was not supported, and his mind was greatly suppressed.
"Grim, something happened in Tower last night! Did you know?" Chief Apprentice Ankesuo Ling Ran watched that Grim did not have opened mouth, but Alan next to it was yelling.
"What happened? What happened? Someone was magic experiment backlash?" Grim was clearly not clear about the situation.
"It wasn't magic experiment backlash, but someone was killed. It's in his residence!" Looking at Grim's confused eyes and surprised expression did not seem to be fake, Ankesuo said slowly, his eyes still did not let go Any change in Grim's face.
"Assault?" Grim was shocked first, then shocked: "Who is dead!"
swamp Tower Although the accidental death of Apprentice Adept occurs from time to time, most of them are killed by dangerous missions and weird magic experiment backlash, but there has never been a precedent for being killed by others. After all, each cultivated Apprentice Adept is a valuable asset of Tower Adept Master Anderson. He simply does not allow apprentice to kill each other due to internal conflict.
If such a thing is discovered by him, the offender will be punished extremely severely.
"Milei!"
Grim frowned.
He knows Milei, and he is also an ordinary apprentice who only has one Witchcraft. As for other things, he doesn't know much. Just vaguely remembered that he was a boy with freckles on his face, younger than himself.
"Then you come to me, you want to ..."
"We need to check your room. This is not specifically for you, but all suspected Apprentice Adept need to be checked." Ankesuo coldly said.
"Yeah, everyone's rooms must be checked. Hurry up to get out, otherwise Lord Adept will blame you, can you afford it?" Fenrir is undoubtedly the most annoying person, desperately helping out.
Grim bottom of the heart raised a touch of anger, but bit his teeth slowly.
Search everyone?
Dare you search Hawkeye's room? Do you dare to search for Evil Insects's room? Not to mention the Crazy Lady room. I'm afraid we really need to meet Crazy Lady. You two have to take a detour!
Despite the anger in my heart, the face of Grim was only a little ugly, hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the door sideways.
