The Wizarding Age

Half a day later, Grimm and Mary finally returned to the wizard tower.

It was not until this time that they knew that their compulsory mission team had lost another member, Sheila, and the rest of the members were also injured, and the team suffered heavy losses.

And all this was caused by four corrupted quasi-witches who suddenly appeared.

After the sudden attack, Sabrina and the other three quasi-witches held up three of them, but the remaining corrupted quasi-witches still killed Sheila and the other four and fled in embarrassment. And Sheila died on the way to escape.

Because those corrupted quasi-witches said that they were looking for revenge on Grimm and Mary before they took action, after escaping to the surface, the frightened team members put all the blame on them. Several senior apprentices asked them to be responsible for Sheila's death and take full responsibility for the failure of the mission.

When the wizard Angus, who came to assess the receipt of the mission items, appeared in the hall, Isaac jumped up and down even more violently.

"Master Wizard, it was them...it was them who insisted on leaving the team and provoked the revenge attack of the other four quasi-wizards, which led to the complete failure of our mission this time. You must punish them!"

The remaining Leander and Bruce also shouted loudly, looking angry.

As for the two male quasi-wizards in the team, their faces were livid and they said nothing. Although they did not do anything to blame others, they were obviously dissatisfied with Grimm and Mary. Due to the difference in level, they suffered countless losses in the fair battle with the corrupted quasi-wizards underground, and they all fled back with injuries.

The only one who could escape unscathed in the entire team was probably Sabrina.

"Hehehe..." Wizard Angus sneered: "You don't need to use these tricks in front of me. There are many apprentice teams that come to the trial every year. I don't care about your little thoughts and calculations. I only care about what you bring back to the wizard tower?"

Everyone looked at Sabrina.

Sabrina, with an expression on her face, spread her hands and handed over the four task props she had. It can be seen that only one of the four task props has been lit.

"Only completed one task? Where is the other task prop?" Wizard Angus's face turned cold instantly.

"Here!" Mary stepped forward and spread her palms.

There, a task prop that has been lit up was clearly visible.

"You have only completed two of the five tasks. According to the prior agreement, you can be exempted from the punishment for your task failure, but you can forget about the task reward."

Hearing that they can be exempted from the task punishment, the faces of the senior apprentices in the team couldn't help but relax. But what Angus said next shocked them.

"In addition, I will announce an internal decision of the Wizard Tower Committee. In view of the good performance of Grimm and Mary during the elite mission in the training camp, this committee has decided to transfer them to the training camp and they will no longer have to participate in the mandatory mission trial."

Although Angus' words were low and hoarse, they were no less than a bolt from the blue in the ears of the team members, and they were instantly shocked.

"This... How can this be?" Isaac shouted in horror: "My lord, this is unreasonable! There are only 8 people left in our team now. If you transfer 2 of them away, how can we complete the next mission? We want to protest..."

Before he finished speaking, a black chain suddenly flew out of the void and tied Isaac up tightly in an instant.

"What? Is there anyone here who dares to question the authority of the Wizard Tower Committee? Boy, let me tell you, never challenge the authority and dignity of a wizard head-on. This is to teach you a lesson. Next time, I won't be in such a good mood to let you go!"

With the cold warning of Wizard Angus, the black chain suddenly turned red and instantly turned into a burning hot metal chain, burning Isaac's flesh and blood. When Angus's tone gradually became high-pitched, the chain began to tighten continuously, and the red-hot chain completely sank into Isaac's flesh and blood, squeezing his bones and making a creaking sound.

And Isaac's own magic resistance seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and he could not resist the fire chain punishment of Wizard Angus. Just now, Isaac screamed a few times, and he fainted under the attack of intense pain.

With a snap of his fingers, the fire chain disappeared as suddenly as it appeared.

Wizard Angus's bright eyes like torches swept over everyone, and all the team members lowered their heads with painful eyes and dared not look directly.

"This is a small punishment for you. The purpose of your coming here is to exercise your strength and complete the mission, not to shirk responsibility or engage in internal strife! If you are not strong enough to crush those black guys, then learn to be smart, use your strategies and unity to defeat the enemy and successfully complete the mission. Not enough people? Then go to the lobby on the first floor to recruit! You can see if there are any idiots willing to accept your employment!" After finishing his rare long speech, Angus turned his gaze to Grimm.

"Boy, I heard that you are quite good at hiding your strength! Haha, it seems that you also know that keeping a low profile is the first element to save your life. However, hiding too deeply is not a good thing. A strong person should have the bearing and majesty of a strong person. If you show your ability earlier, maybe this team will become your subordinates, and the women in the team will become your forbidden food. Isn't this more interesting than keeping a low profile and protecting yourself? Come on, show me what you have gained this time!"

Uh... It seems that this Angus wizard was not a quiet guy when he was an apprentice.

Grimm complained angrily, and he and Mary took out the spoils of this underground trip. Two people, two heads of fallen apprentices, both of which are at the advanced apprentice level.

The faces of the team members who had been watching became extremely ugly, and only the Angus wizard laughed with satisfaction.

"Not bad, not bad! I went underground twice and brought back two heads. It turns out that I have the most suitable witchcraft talent for the dark cave. Boy, you have a bright future. I am very optimistic about you! Tell me, what rewards do you plan to exchange for these heads?"

The narrow escape from death on this underground trip also made Grimm very angry. A quasi-witch rock python that he had just obtained was destroyed in the hands of the enemy. This undoubtedly deeply stimulated him!

"An elemental crystal core with a breath of life, preferably earth-based, quasi-witch level." Grimm gritted his teeth and was not going to hide his talent in refining puppet creatures. After all, the appearance of the rock python before was enough for those who were interested to speculate something.

If he continued to be so low-key, he might not be so lucky on his next underground trip.

"Hehehe... Two heads, you can exchange for two quasi-witch-level earth crystal cores, here..." Angus grabbed the two heads and stuffed them into a basin-sized space crack that suddenly opened in front of him, then took out two earth crystal cores flashing brightly from it and threw them to Grimm, then turned and left.

The real owner left, and the rest of the people looked at each other, with unprecedented embarrassment on their faces.

Grimm nodded at Sabrina and took Mary back to the residence.

This underground trip also made Grimm and Mary deeply aware of their own shortcomings. So in the next period of time, the two of them were busy with their own things, trying their best to make up for their shortcomings.

All Grimm can do now is to eat and drink well every day, build a good physical foundation, and then take a bottle of concentration potion every three days to try to improve his mental strength. As for the two quasi-witch-level earth crystal cores, they soon turned into two rock python magic puppets.

Mary felt deeply that she was lacking in attack power and resistance, so she spent a lot of magic crystals to buy a pair of "Cruel Claws" to enhance her attack power.

This pair of Cruel Claws is divided into left and right hands, and is a pair of finger-shaped close-range attack magic weapons. The left hand has the effect of tearing, and the right hand has the effect of bleeding, which can be regarded as a perfect match with Mary's attributes. If Mary pours her blood energy into the finger-shaped gloves during the battle, she can also get an additional sharp effect of 2.

Mary also racked her brains to enhance magic resistance.

It would take too long to train her magic resistance ability bit by bit now, so Mary mainly bought some small ornaments to increase resistance. For example, if she had a lightning resistance necklace with electric resistance 2 on her body when she passed through the lightning trap, she would not have ended up being burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, and being roasted miserably.

This time, Grimm gave all the magic crystal cards to Mary, so Mary, who was full of desire to buy, waved the magic crystals and bought a lot of resistance jewelry and witchcraft potions in one go. While Mary was frantically squandering magic crystals, Grimm was having a "warm and friendly" conversation with the Snorlax in his residence.

At this time, Snorlax still looked like a green goblin, and the only change was that there was a magic collar with runes on its neck. This magic collar is also a special magic weapon, which is specially used to imprison those subspecies that do not obey orders.

A circle of witchcraft runes is etched on the inside of the magic collar, and three fine needles piercing the target's neck slowly absorb the magic power in the target's body to maintain its own operation. Any behavior that damages the magic collar will trigger a strong lightning attack, and being too far away from the caster will also trigger the same effect.

The only way to remove the collar is for the caster to activate the witchcraft spell in a specific order.

So when he came back, he put a magic collar on Snorlax, and Grimm really put his mind at ease.

This extremely smart Snorlax has obviously long been accustomed to being enslaved and imprisoned, and did not show any resistance to Grimm's behavior. chapter;
