It is precisely because the existence of the dark crypt is of great significance to many wizarding families in the Dagon region that some elite apprentices from outside such as Grim are their favorite targets to woo. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

First of all, co-opting such outsiders will not have much impact on their inherent interests. How dare a wizard apprentice without the support of a family openly offend those formal wizards, so the elite apprentices recruited will only become their most effective thugs, but it is impossible to take advantage of the situation to become their competitors.

Secondly, the underground world is not peaceful, and the rare resources that those surface wizards urgently need are also the objects of the underground black cubs' strong grabbing, so every underground exploration and harvesting trip is also the beginning of a melee between the two sides.

Due to a long period of exploration and development, the rare resources of underground specialties have been excavated and marked by both sides in the form of resource points. When each resource in it will mature and when it needs to be harvested, both sides know in their hearts. Therefore, around these resource points, every harvest is a bloody battle of life and death.

In this scuffle, neither side will send a full-fledged wizard, limiting the scale of the battle to the level of the Wizard Apprentice. Only the winner of the battle on both sides is eligible to enter the resource point to harvest, and the loser will be able to escape with injuries or even his life.

And this bloody battle has been going on in this area of the Dark Crypt for more than 300 years, and it has almost become an unwritten rule here. The two sides use the powerful apprentices as bargaining chips, and use them to compete for a share of resources for a fixed amount of time each month. The winner takes all, and the loser dies, which is a good stage for quasi-witches to show their skills.

Now Grim is also favored by the training camp led by the bald Ah Fu due to his special ability, so he is fortunate to join it and become a member of the elite apprentices. This will make him even busier, in addition to participating in an apprenticeship organized by the Wizarding Guild every 15 days, and participating in underground parades organized by the training camp from time to time.

In this way, Grim's speed of obtaining contribution points will definitely be far faster than ordinary people.

After basically figuring out the situation in the training camp, Grim said goodbye to Kevin and returned to his residence.

After locking the door and making sure that the perimeter was safe, he took off the strange objects and sorcery equipment from his body one by one.

Noble headbands, thorn armor bracelets, swift leather boots, screaming branches, gnome engineering goggles......

When he was sure that he didn't have any witchcraft effects on him, he commanded softly.

"Chip, start checking my current physical condition......"

"Drop, accept the task, start scanning the subject ......"

Zizizi......

As the slow and detailed mental band spread throughout his body, Grim's latest body data was projected.

Name: Grim

Race: Human

Attributes: Strength 4.17, Agility 4.36, Constitution 4.98, Mental Power 8.42

Occupation: Wizard Apprentice (Beginner)

Health: 18/18

Professional experience: 765/1000

Status: Healthy

Class Skills: Transcribe Scrolls, Spell Reading, Golem Making (Beginner)

Personal Skills: Burning Hand (solidified), Flame Bolt (solidified), Flame Spear (solidified)

Looking at this line of data, Grim couldn't help but have a happy face.

Compared with the previous weak body, Grim's various body statistics have now begun to rise in an all-round way. Among them, the most prominent is undoubtedly the physique, which has jumped by nearly 2 points. You know, a month ago, Grim's physique was only 3 points, which is simply the kind of weak among wizard apprentices.

Although the other 3 physical attributes have not improved much, they have all improved significantly, and they are no longer the same as they were before adults.

Grim went through his body data before he finished it in his chair, and casually took out a bottle of contemplation potion from his storage belt and held it up in front of him to examine it silently.

The pale blue potion gently rippled in the vulcanized vial, and subtle blue particles could be faintly visible inside. It's just that in the case of breath isolation, it is difficult for the chip to accurately analyze the ingredients of the witch medicine in the potion.

Grim gently uncorked the bottle, and immediately a fishy wind peculiar to the sea reached the tip of his nose. Without the slightest hesitation, Grim raised his neck and swallowed the potion in one gulp.

As soon as the potion was in his mouth, a pale blue mist erupted from his nostrils, condensing in front of him into a poignant mermaid the size of a finger. The miniature version of the mermaid quickly withered and aged in the air, and when its illusory body was about to wither, a terrible and sharp howl suddenly sounded in the room.

The howl did not last long, and soon the phantom of the mermaid disappeared as the mist dissipated, but the shrill voice permeated Grim's mind with a mournful curse.

"Chip, what just happened?"

"Drop, the Flesh Curse has been detected...... The initial estimate is that it is a negative effect attached to the drug...... If it is removed, it will reduce the effectiveness of the potion...... Please choose whether or not to mobilize mental power to dispel the Flesh Curse?"

Grim sighed secretly.

I've long heard of the strong side effects of condensing potions, but now it seems to be completely true. If you want to improve your mental power, you can only silently endure the ravages of the flesh curse.

"Nope. Just keep it moving!"

"Accept the order. The effect of the drug began to ......"

On the body monitoring data projected in front of Grim's eyes, the string of numbers belonging to the spiritual power began to slowly increase, and the synchronized physique also began to drop significantly.

8.43…… 8.44…… 8.47…… 8.53…… 8.62……

4.98…… 4.97…… 4.95…… 4.92……

Fortunately, the flesh and blood of the Earth Fire Dragon, which had just been fed up yesterday, brought Grim far more blood than usual, and the pain in his internal organs, which seemed to be devoured by thousands of ants and insects, was much lessened, otherwise even he himself was not sure if he could sustain this painful process.

Sensing the heart-devouring pain coming from all over his body, the only thing that could make him feel a little happier was the rising spiritual power.

8.98……

9.03……

9.08……

Seeing that his mental power finally crossed 8 points and successfully rose to 9 points, Grim grinned.

In the end, the mental power data was fixed at 9.27 and no longer increased, and Grim snorted.

"Chips, dispel the Flesh Curse!"

"Accept the order!Start releasing fire elemental particles ......"

As bursts of warm heat continued to surge through the body, the sour and numb feeling of pain finally began to subside and disappeared completely. At this time, Grim's physical stats have become: strength 4.12, agility 4.36, physique 4.21, and mental power 9.27.

Belch...... This bottle of condensing elixir brought Grim a 0.85 increase in mental power, while at the same time, his constitution decreased by 0.77 points, and even his strength decreased by 0.05 points.

Grim stood up and moved, although the feeling of emptiness caused by the decline of his constitution existed, it was not as strong as expected. It seems that the feast he received yesterday still brought him a lot of hidden benefits! However, the increase in mental power has brought Grim an all-round improvement in strength, both the speed of spiritual thinking and the depth of spiritual perception have been greatly improved compared with the past.

Itching, Grim hesitated for half a second, then took out a bottle of convulsive potion from his storage belt, uncorked it and poured it up.

The same journey, the same flesh and blood curse, with strong expectations, Grim endured the huge side effects brought by the potion, and tried to focus his spirit on the ever-increasing mental power data.

9.29……

9.33……

9.46……

9.52……

……

In contrast, there is a slight alarm on the chip.

"Warning, the degree of damage to the flesh and blood of the subject's body has exceeded 17%. ”

"The degree of damage is already more than 19%. ”

"The damage is already over 21 percent. ”

"Drip ...... Warning, the damage has exceeded 25%, and if left unchecked, the subject will enter a short-term state of weakness. Do you want to intervene?"

Grim gritted his teeth slightly and said in a deep voice, "No!"

What had been a tingling pain had now turned into a sharp pain like a heart-ramp, and beads of sweat rolled down Grim's forehead, and he writhed in pain in his seat, and he resisted with absolute strength to prevent him from fainting. If he really faints, then he loses his control, and the flesh curse can only be left to dissipate on its own. And this will undoubtedly bring him more physical attrition!

So even if it's just to reduce the loss of 0.01 physique, he has to tenaciously stay awake.

9.87……

"The damage has reached 22 percent. ”

9.93……

"The damage has reached 23 percent. ”

9.99……

"The damage has reached 24 percent. ”

10.03……

"The damage has reached 25 percent. ”

Sensing that the mental power data was no longer changing, Grim finally shouted out loudly.

"Start the eviction!"

When the warm torrent surged through the body again, the pain finally began to subside in its entirety.

Grim held on to the armrests of the chair with both hands, but he couldn't stand up twice in a row, and his body, which was almost numb from pain, no longer listened to his command. And at this time, his physical data was finally refreshed.

Strength 4.02, Agility 4.28, Constitution 3.17, Mental Power 10.03.

Finally broke through 10 points!

From this moment on, Grim was already honored to be an intermediate apprentice.

It only took Grim a month and a half to go from a beginner apprentice at 8 to an intermediate apprentice at 10 points, but he struggled for 6 years to go from a junior apprentice at 6 to 8 at 8 o'clock. The difference between having and not having resources is so big that you can see at a glance.

However, for this, Grim also paid a great physical price.

The mental power increased from 9.27 to 10.03, crossing a small level, while the physical strength retreated from 4.21 to 3.17, which is a staggering decline. With it, Grim's strength is reduced by 0.1 and agility by 0.08.

The damage to the body caused by the concentrating elixir is indeed cumulative!
