Chapter 0006 Mysterious Shadow

A simple Burning Hands spell requires about 2 points of mental power, which also indicates that Grimm can cast Burning Hands 4 times in one breath. But of course this is only a theoretical value, and it is difficult to achieve in reality, because mental power is also the basis for apprentices to cast witchcraft.

The higher the mental power value, the more it means that the apprentice's mental power is full, whether thinking about problems or casting witchcraft, the effect can reach its best effect. However, with the continuous consumption of mental power, when the value is lower than 1/3 of itself, the subject will fall into a state of mental depression. At this time, the biggest manifestation is dizziness, nausea and retching, and a listless look.

At this time, a spell that can be completed in 5 seconds at ordinary times may not be completed in 10 seconds now, and the probability of spell failure will also rise sharply.

Therefore, any wizard will try his best to retain some mental power when casting spells frequently to avoid many sequelae after the mental power is completely exhausted.

And Grimm now shows this symptom, which obviously shows that his mental power has fallen below 5% and has entered a state of mental exhaustion. The only solution to this situation is to have a good sleep and use enough sleep to restore your mental power.

The chip is indeed very useful, but it consumes Grimm's mental power when it is running. Therefore, sensing that something is wrong with himself, Grimm struggled to climb onto the bed, fell there and fell asleep.

Night fell quickly!

When a huge moon disk loomed in the dim sky, the candles in the tower were extinguished one after another. The already cold swamp tower became even more dead silent!

At some point, a tall and strange black shadow suddenly appeared in front of Grimm's bed, leaning down slightly and watching him silently.

Due to the huge loss of mental power, Grimm did not sleep well. Even in his sleep, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he looked in great pain.

The strange figure turned his back to the moonlight, and his whole body was immersed in an inexplicable darkness. His appearance could not be seen clearly, but only a pair of scarlet blood eyes flashed, which made people terrified.

"Blood...blood...I want blood..."

The black shadow stretched out its hands tremblingly, trying to strangle Grimm's neck, but it always retracted inexplicably, as if it was extremely reluctant in its heart, with a look of intense ideological struggle. And it kept repeating these words in its mouth, showing a confused mental state.

Finally, a ray of clarity in its spiritual wisdom made it get rid of its strong desire for blood. It took a deep look at Grimm, who knew nothing about it, and turned around and jumped out of the narrow window.

Outside the window was the almost straight Qinghui stone tower. As a wizard tower, it was naturally attached with terrible witchcraft arrays, and it was impossible for outsiders to enter and exit at will. But what was extremely strange was that when this black shadow was wandering on the tower like a gecko, it did not trigger any witchcraft array.

And this was obviously only possible for a wizard apprentice with a witchcraft amulet.

The black shadow quickly wandered around the periphery of the wizard tower, and its swiftness and agility were simply amazing. Moreover, when it was moving, it deliberately chose the dark corners of the windowsill and the places where the moonlight could not reach, so its whereabouts seemed more erratic and strange.

Its movements were both swift and light, and it did not make any sound during the movement. And it had a plan, deliberately avoiding several secret rooms that were still lit with candlelight, and searched for a long time before finding the most suitable target.

It hung in front of a narrow window and listened for a while, making sure that the breathing sound coming from inside was steady and long, and then it carefully climbed into the narrow window.

This time it stayed a little longer, and when it climbed out again, a faint smell of blood floated around it.

This successful hunt obviously made the black shadow proud, and when he squatted on the narrow window and planned to slip away, he raised his face and glanced at the moon disk in the sky. And just at this moment, the huge bright moon emerged from the dark clouds, and the bright silver-gray moonlight projected from the sky, shining on it.

This is the face of a young girl, with a pretty face, fair skin, and two strange blood-sucking fangs slightly protruding from the lips, with blood stains on them.

The beautiful girl licked the fangs with her delicate tongue, sucked the blood stains on them into her mouth and tasted them, then jumped out of the window and disappeared into the shadows where the moonlight could not reach.

…………

Grimm was awakened by a burst of rapid knocks on the door the next day.

Shaking his still dizzy head, Grimm opened the door and was surprised to find that there were three people standing outside the door.

Apprentice Anxor, Apprentice Allen and Fenrir.

Anxor's status as an apprentice was appointed by Wizard Anderson himself, so his status was slightly precious. He could usually act as part of the wizard's duties and manage all the wizard apprentices in the tower. In addition, he also had the strength of an intermediate apprentice, so all the apprentices had to obey his orders. Otherwise, if he holds a grudge against you and does something to your tower mission, you won't even know how to write the word death.

As for the other two, Alan and Fenrir, they are also junior wizard apprentices like Grimm. However, they are best at flattering and fawning on Anxor all day long, so they are also the confidants of the apprentice leader.

Therefore, wherever Ankeso appears, these two flatterers are absolutely indispensable. The relationship between the two is more like the parasitic relationship between the killing tree and the vampire vine. The two flatterers need Ankeso's care to get priority for those relatively easy and safe daily tasks, and Ankeso also needs the support of the two apprentices to deter those ambitious careerists.

Grimm's cold and withdrawn personality rarely deals with outsiders, so his relationship with them can only be considered good or bad. Therefore, he was extremely surprised that they suddenly appeared in front of his door.

The apprentice leader Ankeso is a young man in his twenties, with eagle eyebrows, hooked nose, sharp eyes, and although his face is not fierce, he always gives people a sense of oppression with high momentum. The first moment the wooden door opened, Ankeso's eyes flashing with strange light fell on Grimm's face, vaguely giving him a feeling of burning skin.

Grimm's heart was secretly chilled.

He understood that this was the strange phenomenon that would occur when the opponent's strength had become strong to a certain extent and his mental power was too overflowing.

There is actually a strict classification of levels among the apprentices in the tower.

Those who have only mastered one or two witchcrafts and whose mental power is below 10 points are all junior wizard apprentices, and are considered the bottom of this group. Those who have mastered three to four witchcrafts and whose mental power is between 11 and 15 points are considered intermediate wizard apprentices, and are already considered powerful leaders. Those who have mastered more than five witchcrafts and whose mental power reaches and exceeds 16 points are considered the elites in the tower - senior wizard apprentices.

Once an apprentice's mental power reaches the critical value of 20 points, he will be qualified to become a quasi-witch, and will be treated differently by the wizard, and begin to prepare for the future impact of wizard rituals.

Unfortunately, there is no real quasi-witch in the current swamp tower!

As for the Anxor in front of him, although the number of witchcrafts he has mastered is unknown, with some special magic tools, he can sometimes exert the strength that is not inferior to that of a senior wizard apprentice. In the tower, there are only three people who really have the strength of a senior apprentice, Hawkeye, Evil Worm and Madwoman.

Of course, these are not their names, but just their nicknames.

Hawkeye is called Crusa, a terrible guy from the west coast. In order to enhance his own strength, he actually transplanted an eagle eye to himself and gained some strange superpowers.

The evil insect is called Entik, who is a more evil guy than Hawkeye. He actually raised a group of terrible insects with his own flesh and blood. When fighting with him, one careless will be the terrible ending of being devoured by thousands of insects.

And the last mad woman is a complete violent maniac. She has a huge iron sword that is far taller than ordinary people and has no opponents among wizard apprentices. She is also a terrible guy that no one dares to provoke.

These people, either mastered powerful witchcraft or possessed strange special abilities. They have long been out of the status of ordinary apprentices and have become the most potential candidates for quasi-wizards in the tower.

Therefore, facing the burning gaze of a powerful wizard apprentice, Grimm was obviously mentally exhausted and his mind was greatly suppressed.

"Grimm, something happened in the tower last night! Did you know?" Apprentice leader Anxor stared at Grimm coldly without saying a word, but Alan next to him was shouting.

"Something happened? What happened? Someone was attacked by the witchcraft experiment?" Grimm obviously didn't understand the situation yet.

"It's not the witchcraft experiment backlash, but someone was attacked and killed. Right in his residence!" Seeing Grimm's confused eyes and surprised expression, Anxor spoke slowly, and his eyes still didn't miss any changes on Grimm's face.

"Assault?" Grimm was startled at first, and then shocked: "Who died!"

Although wizard apprentices died unexpectedly from time to time in the Swamp Tower, most of them died from dangerous tasks and weird witchcraft experiments, but there has never been a precedent of being attacked and killed by others. After all, every wizard apprentice trained is a valuable asset of the tower wizard Master Anderson, and he does not allow apprentices to kill each other due to internal strife.

Once he found out about this, the offender would be severely punished.

"Mirei!"

Grimm frowned.

He knew Mirei, who was also an ordinary apprentice who only mastered one magic. As for other situations, he didn't know much. He only vaguely remembered that he was a boy with freckles on his face, younger than himself.

"Then you came to me to..."

"We need to check your room. This is not specifically for you, but all suspected wizard apprentices need to be checked." Anxor said coldly.

"Yes, everyone's room must be checked. Get out of the way quickly, otherwise the wizard will blame you, can you afford it?" Fenrir was undoubtedly the most annoying person, and he shouted desperately beside him.

Grimm felt a trace of anger in his heart, but he gritted his teeth and slowly endured it.

Search everyone?

Do you dare to search Hawkeye's room? Do you dare to search the evil insect's room? Not to mention the crazy girl's room. I'm afraid you're really going to meet a crazy woman, so you guys have to take a detour!

Although he was furious, Grimm's face was only slightly ugly. He hesitated for a moment and finally stepped aside to open the door.
