Chapter 0260: Experimental Collaborators
Ferdinand, Wizard's Tower.
Grim met the five apprentices he had assigned to him in his residence.
2 quasi-witches and 3 senior apprentices, all young.
Basically, those who can reach the quasi-wizard or advanced apprentice level before the age of fifty have the potential to become wizards. As for those apprentices who barely managed to raise their spiritual power to the top level by hard work, knowing that they had no hope of becoming wizards, they had already given up this path early and went to the mortal world to enjoy the worship of local nobles.
Among the would-be witches and senior apprentices assigned to Grim was a woman, and she was quite handsome and beautiful. However, with Grim's elemental vision, it is easy to see the faint fluorescence left by the witchcraft transformation on their faces.
It can be seen that these five wizard apprentices have long heard of Grim's terrifying fire demon prestige, and they stand down one by one, not even daring to breathe. However, from the flashing light in their eyes, it could be seen that they were still very satisfied with being able to become a disciple of the Fire Demon, and their excitement could not be concealed.
I don't know why, even Alice, who has always done her own thing, came to this meeting.
She stood at Grim's side, her malicious eyes rolling over the two female apprentices, and her dripping eyes kept turning, as if she was planning something insidiously.
"This is the first time we've met, so let's tell us a little bit about your name and research direction!" Grim said slowly.
Hearing the Mentor's request, the five apprentices glanced at each other, and it was the thinner male quasi-witch who stepped forward first.
"Kodar, gifted affinity: the Dark Elemental, just became a quasi-witch last year. I mainly study biological variation, and I have a lot of experience in beast transformation......"
"Meryl, Talent Affinity: Earth Elemental, became a quasi-witch this year. I'm going to take the Elemental Wizard route, and I don't have any auxiliary part-time ...... at the moment."
"Am, Talent Affinity: Fire Elemental, Advanced Apprentice, Part-time Demonic Material Processing ......"
"Tollé, Gifted Affinity: Illusion, Senior Apprentice, Part-time Apothecary......"
"Linna, Talent Affinity: Water Elemental, Advanced Apprentice, No Part-Time ...... at the moment"
Grim listened quietly, a blue glint in the depths of his pupils.
With the elemental vision, the physical fitness and mental power level of these apprentices had already been captured by him meticulously. Let them report their own homes, purely to facilitate their filing and storage, and improve personal information.
Under the induction of the information gathering ability of the chip horror, the five apprentices had just finished introducing themselves, and Grim had already received further hints from the chip in his mind. These five apprentices XXX have the potential to continue to improve, XXX potential has been exhausted, and all the people who can get to this point are aided by potions, and XXX has excellent qualifications to develop in a certain direction......
Although he had already divided these people into three, six, nine and so on, Grim's young and handsome face still did not show the slightest expression.
"Now that you have all been assigned to my name, from today onwards, you will be considered my apprentice under Grim. As long as anyone behaves well, I will accept them as true disciples as appropriate. Speaking of this, Grim looked around and saw a glint of excitement in the eyes of many people: "In addition, this is Alice, who is not only my personal maid, but also your senior sister. If you have anything difficult to solve in the future, you can ask her for help!"
Hearing Grim's words, Alice immediately straightened her chest and belly, looking like I was the eldest sister.
Several apprentices glanced at each other and bowed to Alice at the same time, and the expressions of the two young would-be witches were more reluctant.
In the Wizarding Continent, there is a world of difference between apprentices and disciples.
The status of an apprentice can only indicate that you have studied with a certain master, and if necessary, you can rely on your apprenticeship to obtain the master's blessing. But the identity of the disciple is completely different, more similar to a witchcraft contract, and the two parties will have a more intimate and clear knowledge inheritance relationship.
At some point, if a sorcerer dies unexpectedly, his disciples have the right to inherit all his private property.
So in many cases, wizards don't want to get themselves into more trouble. As a result, they often have a large number of apprentices, but there are very few or no real disciples.
"According to the tradition of the Sarubo family, you have become an apprentice under my name, and you have the right to obtain free knowledge from me. Every 7 days, you have a free opportunity to ask questions, one for the Senior Apprentice and two for the Witch. In addition, I have been involved in the fields of elemental golem making, all things, anatomy, neurology, and the fundamentals of pharmacy...... If any of you are willing to be my collaborators, he can share the results of his research and use my lab for free!" said Grim.
Hearing his words, several apprentices couldn't help but show hesitant and hesitant expressions.
Although they are the most precious treasures of the Sarubo family here, not everyone dares to try to cooperate with the wizards to conduct experiments.
The vast majority of wizards' experiments involve forbidden subjects, and the risks are self-evident.
While participating apprentices are able to share in the results of wizard-level experiments, the physical and mental effects of such experiments are unknown. Normally, apprentices who are confident about their future do not choose this path. Only those who have run out of potential, or who are shy in their pockets, will choose to give it a go in order to win the attention and favor of their mentors.
"Honorable Mentor, I wonder what the experiment you are talking about?" the would-be witch named Kodar couldn't help but ask.
"It's about illusions!"
The eyes of all the apprentices couldn't help but fall on the senior apprentice Tolie, who was the only one in the crowd who was an illusion affinity, and was obviously more suitable to be this so-called "experimental collaborator"!
Feeling the scorching but invisible pressure of everyone, Torret stepped forward and bowed, "Master Mentor, I am willing to participate in your illusion experiment!"
"Oh......" a gentle smile spread across Grim's face, "Did you volunteer to be my collaborator?"
"Yes!" Torre's face squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "It's my honor to be able to participate in your experiment!"
"Very well, then let's sign a witchcraft contract!"
Grim nodded in satisfaction, and with a quick grasp of it, a witchcraft contract scroll composed of pure flames was condensed from the void, and slowly floated in front of Torre.
Torre wiped his eyes, leaned in front of the scroll and carefully read all the terms and conditions inside, and found that the content was exactly what Mentor Grim had just said, so he carefully left his own witchcraft mark on it.
There was a soft stabbing sound, and the witchcraft contract scroll turned into a cloud of flame and disappeared into the air.
"If nothing else, you can go down. Tollé, you get ready, come over at 7 o'clock tonight!" Grim was obviously in a good mood and had a smile on his face a little more than usual.
Several apprentices bowed at the same time and slowly withdrew.
Alice rolled her eyes and secretly followed.
It wasn't until an hour later that Alice came back stinging on her toes, looking like a little fox who had stolen a hen.
"How?" Grim put down the book in his hand and asked lazily, "How many have you defeated?"
"Five! All five were knocked down by me. Alice said proudly and disdainfully: "With their little strength, the sum of them is not enough for me to stew a spoonful!"
Grim frowned when he heard this: "You didn't hurt that Tollee, did you?"
"Of course not!" Alice has been in a good mood these days since she got a Void Stone from Grim: "I knew he had a mission tonight, so I just trapped him in a spatial cage." If he can't move, he will admit defeat and surrender!"
"What about the few?" asked Grim curiously.
"I've beaten them all into pigs' heads, and I'm going back to apply the medicine!" Alice clenched her little fists like a violent queen.
Grim tilted his head and thought about it, he could fully imagine the powerlessness of everyone in the face of the impregnable spatial barrier. To be honest, if it weren't for the crushing of the powerful magic golem, it would be pure dreaming for Grim to suppress Alice by relying on his fire-based talent alone!
With her talent for space against the sky, Alice has an unimaginable amount of attack, defense, and mobility. With these three points, when an ordinary quasi-witch meets Alice, he really wants to fight and can't run.
The guy who fights Alice is waiting to fall to the point where he wants to cry without tears and is called heavenly!
…………
As soon as night fell, Torre, the senior apprentice, arrived at Grim's residence.
And the content of the experiment that Grim assigned to him was also very simple.
A knowledge crystal used to store spiritual power, and there are ten extremely special witchcraft runes hidden inside. What Toller needs to do is to write them down one by one, and record the physical changes and mental perceptions before and after each rune is written.
To this end, Grim also opened a secret room for Torre to complete this seemingly simple job. Of course, in all corners of the secret room, Grim also secretly installed a lot of monitoring crystals, which can clearly transmit Tolie's every move to Grim in the adjacent secret room.
In order to encourage the senior apprentice who was chosen to be the guinea pig, Grim promised to provide him with three books on pharmacy for free.
So, without hesitation, the Torret walked into the secret room.
