Chapter 0001 Awakening

This is a gloomy and terrifying magical swamp.

The fog is heavy and wet.

Even in the daytime, the bright sunlight cannot penetrate the low clouds and gloomy fog, making this place feel a bit of human warmth.

Turbid and filthy stinking pools can be seen everywhere. There is not much water, but there are many strange creatures parasitic in it. Whenever a stranger breaks in here, this silent and desolate place will instantly become a paradise for scavenging and bloodthirsty creatures. Vampire vines, carrion crows, swamp giant crocodiles, and ugly ghosts that look like drowned people are all terrible monsters that passing merchants and travelers avoid.

However, in the center of this swamp where living people cannot set foot, there is a terrifying tower that is 100 meters high.

This is a stone tower.

Its base is all made of thick and dense Qinghui stone. Whenever night falls, the entire tower will emit a cool and quiet faint radiation fluorescence, which is particularly favored by ghosts and resentful souls.

Perhaps due to the lack of necessary maintenance and care, the entire base of the tower is entangled by the crazy growth of demonic vines, which are covered with wooden spikes full of metallic luster. If ordinary people are entangled by such demonic vines, they will be sucked dry of blood in less than half a minute, and become one of the thick white bones at the root of the vines.

As soon as the sky got dark, candles were lit in the tower.

The dim candlelight shone through the narrow window, not only unable to bring a trace of warmth to people, but also made people feel a chill in their hearts.

Grimm, who just celebrated his 15th birthday, sat in front of a worn-out wooden table, with a heavy book of magic spread out in front of him, and he was copying silently. Although he has been in this new world for two years, the discomfort in his soul still makes him feel headache from time to time.

In a trance, scenes that happened on Earth in the past kept flashing in front of his eyes, causing his pen tip to pause slightly, leaving a large ball of ink on the simple parchment.

Damn, failed again!

Grimm frowned, couldn't help but clenched his fists, wanting to shout angrily. But after enduring for a long time, he finally suppressed the anger.

This is no longer the Earth he is familiar with, and this body once belonged to a wizard apprentice named Grimm. Seriously speaking, he is just a traverser who took over the nest at the moment of Grimm's accidental death.

Li Xun was in agony from crossing from a low-magic Earth to a high-magic world where monsters are rampant and wizards dominate with empty hands. Fortunately, the memory fragments left in this body allowed Li Xun to initially acquire basic language and writing skills after merging them. Otherwise, the weird grammar pronunciation and completely alternative tadpole-shaped characters in this world alone would torture him half to death.

But even so, the headaches that appeared from time to time still deeply troubled him.

Here, he never dared to reveal his true identity, but could only use the name of Grimm and struggle to survive in this wizard tower.

Although being a wizard apprentice under Master Anderson is an honorable status that is already worthy of envy by most people. However, only those who live in this tower know that this is not an honor, but the most terrible torture in the world.

As wizard apprentices, their basic job is to diligently take care of the daily life of the great Master Anderson, clean up the witchcraft experimental equipment, keep the tower clean, take care of the demonized animals and plants outside the tower, and... and become Master Anderson's experimental subjects.

Although this kind of thing is not common, when the convoy transporting slaves or death row prisoners arrives a few days late, Master Anderson, who lacks experimental subjects, will get annoyed and order an apprentice to serve as his temporary guinea pig.

It is said that Mary from Ant County next door was "fortunate" to become Master Anderson's witchcraft experiment collaborator last month. Although she did not die in that witchcraft experiment, her body was also severely "contaminated" and some terrible mutations occurred. Since she came out of the laboratory, she put on a heavy robe and hid in her room every day and never came out again.

Many wizard apprentices were discussing privately that Mary might have died in the room.

But Grimm knew that Mary was still alive.

Because every night when it was quiet, he could hear the painful and depressed low voices in the next room, as well as the terrible sound of sharp claws scraping against the rock wall. For this reason, every night when it was quiet, he would throw the food he secretly brought back into the next room.

Although Grimm's life was also precarious, out of a trace of compassion in his nature, he was still willing to do something more humane within his ability.

Today's sporadic migraine came at a really bad time, and it happened when he was copying books. What's more, he was extremely unlucky to waste a piece of parchment.

Don't underestimate this wrinkled and simple parchment, its basic value is 2 silver coins. In this magical world now, the most commonly used currency is of course wizard gold coins. One wizard gold coin can be exchanged for 10 silver coins, and one silver coin can be exchanged for 10 copper coins, and 5 copper coins can allow a civilian to solve the problem of food and clothing for a day.

So with this conversion, a seemingly ordinary parchment can be regarded as a huge sum of money for the civilian class. But here, it is just garbage that wizard apprentices can throw away at will.

In the wizard tower, there is never anything free.

Greem had to earn his daily food and drink, including the cost of learning witchcraft, on his own, and the only way to make money was to go out of the wizard tower, feed those ferocious and cruel demonized creatures, and take care of those eerie and weird demonized plants. , to pick some witchcraft materials specified by the wizard and clean up some dangerous witchcraft areas in the tower.

Although when doing these tasks, they will wear witchcraft amulets handmade by the wizard, which can avoid touching the witchcraft circle around the tower. But in this mysterious and strange world, no job can be absolutely safe. Every one or two months, there will always be a few unlucky people who are devoured by demonized animals and plants while taking care of them, or they die of witchcraft radiation for no apparent reason while cleaning a certain witchcraft area. .

Therefore, many times, the relatively leisurely and comfortable jobs in the tower are monopolized by those experienced wizard apprentices. The remaining weak wizard apprentices can only choose more dangerous jobs to earn money and knowledge points with difficulty to continue their witchcraft learning.

Of course, money is used to purchase some biological supplies, while knowledge points are a value system specifically formulated by the wizard to purchase knowledge. In the library inside the tower, every witchcraft book is clearly marked with different knowledge points, and borrowing books only accepts knowledge points, but not money.

Apprentices can only borrow the books they need for a short period of time if they work hard to earn knowledge points. This amount of time is definitely not enough for the apprentices to master all the knowledge in the books, so most apprentices will develop the habit of copying books.

For every witchcraft book borrowed, the apprentices will try to copy down the knowledge they need in the shortest possible time for continuous study in the future. Copying requires ink and parchment, but these are not free, they require money to buy.

Of course, if a wizard apprentice has a good family background, then he can exchange a lot of money for knowledge points. 00 gold coins.

The book "Devilized Creatures" that Grim borrowed today requires three knowledge points, and can only be borrowed for half a day. With Greem's copying speed, if he wanted to completely write down the book, he would need to borrow it at least three times.

This adds up to 9 knowledge points, and these 9 knowledge points require Greem to leave the tower for 2 consecutive weeks to earn them.

Therefore, it was not a pity for him to waste a piece of parchment due to a migraine attack, but it was a pity that he wasted two hours of copying time. This is the main reason why he is so angry!

Just when Greem was trying hard to mobilize all his strength to suppress this angry emotion and prevent it from affecting his subsequent transcription, a familiar "beep" sound suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Hey, the biological energy has reached the standard, and the biological auxiliary chip number zxj9521 has started..."

Grim exclaimed in surprise.

"Bio-assisted chip!"

Once upon a time, during the difficult years at the beginning of time travel, Greem fantasized more than once that he could become a great god who could travel through other worlds with an artifact in hand. They punched Nanshan Nursing Home, kicked Beihai Kindergarten, and knocked down everyone under one meter tall. In the morgue, they stamped their feet and said, "Stand up if you don't accept it!" No one dared to breathe...

It's a pity that this damn chip that has been integrated with him has never done anything except giving him migraines from time to time. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly...it finally started today!

After the noisy debugging sound passed, a beautiful androgynous female voice echoed in Greem's mind.

"Host detected, data modeling in progress... Please wait..."

Hey, it can also energize the current body? This is something worth looking forward to!

After all, we are now in a world of high demons, and the plane space is filled with a kind of magical substance called elemental particles. These elemental particles are divided into basic particles such as earth, fire, water, wind, light, and darkness according to the different basic elements of the plane.

A wizard usually has varying degrees of affinity for these basic particles, thus creating many different factions. And precisely because the power system here is completely different from that on Earth, how to standardize and quantify the known data has become the biggest problem that troubles Grim.
