Chapter 0059 - Setting Up a Stall
The Wizard's Tower stationed in the Dark Crypt by the Wizards' Guild of Scattered Tallinn is only a small wizard tower, with 7 floors above ground and 2 floors underground, resulting in a total of 9 floors. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The layout of the Wizard's Tower is similar to the swamp tower where Grim once stayed.
Floors 1 to 3 above ground are common areas for wizard apprentices as their main activity area. The open public facilities cover almost every area that an apprentice wizard can cover. Floors 4 to 7 are the residences and testing grounds of official wizards, and wizard apprentices who do not have special permission to enter will be relentlessly attacked by the tower's defense mechanism.
At this moment, Grim was silently wandering in the public hall on the first floor of the Wizard Tower.
Unlike the Swamp Tower, the Dark Crypt is an open territory that allows apprentices to organize their own teams to search for materials and gather resources. Therefore, the material resources here are relatively abundant countless times more than the swamp towers.
In addition to the eerie underworld, the Dark Crypt is also home to the resource-rich Krilla Mountains above the surface. In the rugged and steep mountains and ravines, there are also countless exotic flowers and plants, and countless powerful magical creatures lurk.
Seriously, the area around the Dark Crypt is a great place for an apprentice wizard to grow.
Beginner apprentices can team up together to gather resources in the mountains and woods near the Wizard's Tower, and practice their sorcery with ordinary jungle beasts. Intermediate apprentices are able to go a little further, going deep into the mountains to sharpen themselves. The higher apprentices can already try to go to the shallow surface of the dark crypt, where they can fight to the death against dark creatures such as nezumi, dreadclaw, and undead.
The wizard apprentices honed in this way are far more ferocious and powerful than the apprentices of the swamp towers built over time and by slow meditation. In contrast, Grim is like an academic apprentice who came out of a third-rate wizarding academy, but he is a fierce combat apprentice who fought with real knives and guns, and the two are not comparable at all.
Early in the morning, the public hall was already crowded with wizard apprentices looking for a team, most of them were junior and intermediate level, and occasionally there were one or two senior apprentices. More apprentices spread a black cloth in the corner of the hall, placed a dozen odd objects, and sat next to a book in their arms. It was only when an apprentice came up to inquire that they lazily said a few words, and spent the rest of the time reading in silence.
This kind of apprenticeship life is completely different from the swamp tower, which makes Grim feel envious, but he has nothing to do.
After all, before entering the Swamp Tower to study, all wizard apprentices signed a witchcraft contract with Anderson Wizard, and they were contract apprentices of the Swamp Tower for life. There are only 2 ways to get free*, either to get permission from Anderson Wizard or to advance to become a full-fledged wizard.
If the Apprentice of Contract deviates from the Wizard Tower, he will lose his status as an Apprentice Wizard and become a traitor that everyone can hunt. And a large proportion of the fallen wizards in the depths of the dark crypt are advanced from the treacherous ones. However, their wizarding status has not been recognized by the Scattered Tallinn Wizards Association, so they can only become a wandering wizard incognito.
So even if he was enthusiastic about the way of life here, Grim could only shake his head and sigh, sad for his life.
Mingling among the many apprentices, Grim browsed the stalls on the side of the road as he silently surveyed the wizarding apprentices belonging to the towers of the Dark Crypt.
Grim found that he was able to shout in the middle of the hall and seek out apprentices in a team, even if it was just a junior apprentice, who had a decent set of sorcery equipment and magical items. Instantaneous wands, scrolls and magic potions in his waist pocket, and trinkets full of Linglang...... Each one is a small arsenal, and although their main body is not very powerful, with so many auxiliary items, they can also overwhelm the enemy with a lot of sorcery in a very short time.
In Grim's eyes, they are all walking humanoid gold coins, from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, every inch of their bodies exudes a strong smell of money. Look at them, and then look at himself, Grim can't help but feel a little ashamed of himself, and even the arrogance of winning a small victory just now has been consumed.
Probably the only people in the field who can fight with Grim's poverty are those junior apprentices who read books and set up stalls, and at first glance they are "rookies" who have just become junior apprentices and are not qualified to go to the jungle.
Grim walked around the public hall, basically taking in all the information he needed to know, and then he chose a more lively stall vendor to come forward and communicate.
It was a slightly chubby young man, and the short apprentice robes issued by the Wizard Tower were obviously a little ill-fitting on him, making him look a little funny. Coupled with his facial features that keep dancing as soon as he speaks, his stall has become the most lively area in the venue.
"Hello, my name is Grim!" Grim stepped forward to introduce himself.
"That...... Hello, my name is Sam. The little fat man opened his mouth with a witty taste: "Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Hello, Sam. I would like to ask, are there any special procedures required to set up a stall here?"
"Uh......"
Sam looked Grim up and down and asked suspiciously, "Are you a junior apprentice who just arrived?"
"Yes! I'm a junior apprentice who just arrived here two days ago. Grim said vaguely. He didn't want to go through any more trouble explaining how he had come on a deadly mission in the Dark Crypt as a junior apprentice.
"Poor man! I knew at first glance that he was a newcomer who had been abandoned by his mentor. But you don't have to worry, follow your big brother Sam, and sooner or later let you be like them, mixed with a ...... of magic equipment" This Sam is an unexpected enthusiast, and he instantly opened the hot-blooded big brother mode.
However, Grim looked at the other party, and then looked at the detection data projected in his mind, and was speechless for a while.
This self-proclaimed eldest brother Sam turned out to be just a super pure, super young junior apprentice with 6 points of mental power, which made Grim a little insane.
"Uh...... That Sam, I want to ask...... Can I also set up a stall here and sell a few things? ”
"No problem, no problem. I, Sam, am the one who takes the most care of newcomers in history. Come on, come on...... I still have some places on my side, so you can put them here!"
With Sam's approval, Grim quickly spread out a tray-sized black cloth and took out five things from his waist bag one after another and put them on it. The earrings that heal themselves from the vegetation, the emerald green sticks that act as wands, the leather boots that allow them to walk freely in the jungle, the sorcery material Whining Frog, and the sorcery notes from the hands of the enemy.
The reason why the leather boots are here is definitely makes Grim angry. That Mary actually disliked the magic pattern on the leather boots was not delicate enough, so she threw it to Grim early in the morning and let him watch it.
For such a reason, Grim said he could not understand. So he classified Mary as one of the most incomprehensible and strange creatures in the world!
Seeing Grim put his stall out in a matter-of-fact manner, Sam, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but laugh and leaned back. He patted Grim on the shoulder and enthusiastically introduced: "Brother, don't blame my brother for not reminding you, it's hard for you to sell things like this!"
"Look at me, my stall is so big, your stall is so small, what do you rely on to attract their attention! Look at me again, my stall is full of things, but you are there...... Huh, what is this?"
Even if Sam's mental power was weak, he quickly sensed clear magic fluctuations from the few items that Grim posed. My goodness, there are a total of 5 items on display, 4 of which are obviously magical items. And looking at the style and style of the magic runes etched on it, it has a distinct underground style.
Sam reached out and picked up the pair of magic earrings in confusion, savored them, and suddenly exclaimed, "Resuscitation earrings!
The sound was not loud, but it quickly alarmed the wizard apprentices who passed by. They all stopped, turned their heads to look at the pair of earrings that the fat man held in the palm of his hand.
"Fatty, what are you shouting about? Can you get resuscitation earrings? Don't coax people here!"
"yes, Sam, you're crazy about reviving earrings, aren't you! You crappy businessman can get revival earrings?" haha......"
As everyone laughed and teased, Fat Sam's old face also turned red, but the pair of earrings were only held in his hands and never let go.
In the crowd, a female apprentice with a delicate appearance and a sweet smile suddenly walked to the front of the stall.
"Sam, can you show me these earrings?"
"This ......" The muscles on the fat man's face twitched slightly, and he looked like he wanted to give himself two slaps.
In the end, he reluctantly spread his hand and presented the pair of beautifully shaped earrings to the female apprentice.
The girl with the strength of an intermediate apprentice suspiciously picked up the magic earrings with her fingertips and sensed them, and her face immediately showed a look of surprise. Under her control, the pair of magic earrings, which were originally inconspicuous, instantly lit up with a turquoise fluorescence, and a faint fragrance of plants and trees began to diffuse in the air.
There was a gasp of cold air.
"What a resuscitation earring!"
"Oh my God, someone actually took a level 3 magic item and sold it in the hall......"
"No, I've got to inform Lina that she's been wanting a pair of resuscitation earrings for a long time!"
"yes, I have to inform the boss as well......"
“……”
In the crowd, many people took out some strange-shaped magic contact props from their arms. For a time, frogs chirped, birds chirped, insect whistles, and wolves howled...... All sorts of strange cries resounded through the hall.
