A simple Burning Hand sorcery requires about 2 mental power, which also indicates that Grim can cast 4 Burning Hand in one go. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But of course, this is only a theoretical value, and it is difficult to do it in reality, because spiritual power is also the basis for apprentices to perform witchcraft.

The higher the mental power value, the more it means that the apprentice is full of mental power, and whether he is thinking about problems or casting witchcraft, the effect can achieve his best effect. However, as the mental power continues to be consumed, when the value is less than 1/3 of itself, the subject will fall into a state of mental malaise. At this time, the biggest manifestation is dizziness, nausea and retching, and a listless appearance.

Casting a spell at this time, a witchcraft that can usually be completed in 5 seconds, I'm afraid that it may not be able to be completed in 10 seconds now, and the probability of casting failure will also skyrocket.

Therefore, when any wizard casts spells frequently, he will try his best to retain a part of his spiritual power to avoid many sequelae after his spiritual power is completely exhausted.

And Grim is now showing this symptom, which obviously indicates that his mental strength has fallen below 5% and he has entered a state of mental exhaustion. The only solution to this situation is to take a big nap and get enough sleep to regain your mental strength.

The chip is indeed very easy to use, but it consumes Grim's mental power when it runs. Sensing that something was wrong with him, Grim struggled to crawl onto the bed, where he fell asleep.

Night is fast falling!

When a huge lunar disk loomed in the dim sky, the candles in the tower were extinguished one after another. The already cold swamp tower is becoming more and more dead!

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

Due to the huge loss of mental power, Grim did not sleep peacefully, even in his sleep, his brows were frowning, and he looked in pain.

The strange humanoid figure had its back to the moonlight, and its entire body was immersed in an inexplicable darkness, and it was impossible to see clearly, but only a pair of scarlet blood pupils flickered, which made people feel frightened.

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

The black shadow trembled and stretched out his hands to grab Grim's neck, but he always shrank back inexplicably, as if he was extremely reluctant in his heart, and he looked like he was fighting fiercely. And its mouth was even more indistinct and repeated repeatedly, showing a chaotic state of mind.

Finally, a glimmer of clarity in the spirit freed it from its strong thirst for blood, and took a deep glance at Grim, who knew nothing about it, and turned and walked out of the narrow window.

Outside the window is the almost straight Qinghui stone tower, and as a wizard tower, it is naturally attached to a terrifying witchcraft circle, and it is impossible to let outsiders enter and exit at will. But what is very strange is that when this black shadow wanders around the tower like a gecko, it does not trigger any witchcraft circle.

And this, apparently, can only be done by a wizard apprentice with a witchcraft amulet.

The black shadow roamed quickly around the perimeter of the wizard's tower, and the agility of its form and movement was simply breathtaking. And when it walked through, it deliberately chose the dark corner of the windowsill and the place where the moonlight could not shine, so its whereabouts seemed more and more erratic.

Its movements are swift and light, and it doesn't make a sound as it moves. And it even had a plan, deliberately avoiding several secret rooms that were still lit by 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 sound of breathing coming from inside was steady and long, and then carefully climbed into the narrow window.

This time it stayed a little longer, and when it crawled out of it again, a faint smell of blood wafted through its side.

The success of the hunt clearly made the black shadow smug, and when he crouched on the narrow window and tried to slip away, he inadvertently raised his face to glance at the moon disk in the sky. At this moment, a huge bright moon emerged from the dark clouds, and the bright silver-gray moonlight cast down from the sky, shining right on it.

It was the face of a young girl, with a pretty posture and white skin, and blood was faintly visible on two strange blood-sucking fangs that were slightly angry outside her lips.

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

…………

Grim was woken up the next day by a sharp knock on the door.

Shaking his still dazed head, Grim opened the door, only to be surprised to find that there were three people standing outside the door.

Apprentice Ann Luxo, Apprentice Alan and Fenrir.

Axel's position as the head apprentice was personally appointed by Wizard Anderson, so his position is slightly noble, and he can usually act as part of the duties of the wizard lord and manage all the wizard apprentices in the tower. In addition, he also has the strength of an intermediate apprentice, so his orders, all the apprentices must obey Ling Ran. Otherwise, once he holds a grudge and does something random in your tower mission, then you won't even know how to write dead words.

As for the other two, Alan and Fenrir are also apprentices to junior wizards, just like Grim. However, they are the best at whiskering and flattering Axo, so they can be regarded as the apprentice's henchmen.

Therefore, as long as Nexor appears, these two sycophants are absolutely indispensable, and the relationship between the two is more like the parasitic relationship between the killing tree and the vampire vine. The two sycophants need Axel's care to prioritize the easier and safer daily tasks, and Axel needs the support of two apprentices to deter the ambitious careerists.

Due to his cold and withdrawn personality, Grim rarely interacts with outsiders, so his relationship with them can only be regarded as neither good nor bad. So I was surprised that they suddenly appeared in front of my door.

The apprentice Anxo is a young man in his twenties, with eagle eyebrows and a hooked nose, sharp eyes, and although his face is not vicious, it always gives people a sense of oppression that is imposing. The first moment the wooden door opened, Axel's glittering eyes landed on Grim's face, giving him a faint feeling of burning skin.

Grim's heart darkened.

He understood that this was the anomaly that would occur when the opponent's strength had reached a certain level and his spiritual power was too overflowing.

In fact, there is a strict hierarchy between the apprentices of the tower.

Those who have only mastered one or two witchcraft and have a spiritual power of less than 10 points are junior wizard apprentices, which is considered the lowest level of this group. And those who have mastered three or four witchcraft and have a spiritual power of 11 to 15 points are considered intermediate wizard apprentices, and they are already considered to be small and powerful leaders. And those who have mastered more than five witchcraft and have a spiritual power of 16 or more are considered the elite of the tower - senior wizard apprentices.

And once an apprentice's spiritual power reaches the threshold of 20 points, then he is qualified to become a quasi-witch, and is looked at differently by the wizard master, and begins to prepare for the future impact on the wizard ritual.

It's a pity that the current swamp tower doesn't have a quasi-witch in the true sense of the word!

As for the Anxo in front of him, although the amount of witchcraft he has mastered is unknown, with some special witch weapons, he can also exert the strength of a high-level wizard apprentice at some times. And within the tower, there are only 3 who really have the strength of high-level apprentices, Eagle Eye, Evil Worm and Mad Girl.

Of course, this is not their name, but just their nickname.

Hawkeye's name is Clutha, and he's a scary guy from the West Coast. In order to increase his strength, he even transplanted an eagle eye into himself and obtained some strange abilities.

The Evil Worm's name is Ntik, and he is a more evil fellow than Hawkeye, who has raised a horde of terrible bugs with his own flesh and blood. When fighting against him, a terrible ending for not being wary is the heart of ten thousand insects.

And the last madwoman is even more violent, a huge iron sword far beyond the height of ordinary people to beat all wizard apprentices without opponents, and she is a terrible guy that no one dares to provoke.

These people, who have either mastered powerful witchcraft or possess strange special abilities, have long since left the status of ordinary apprentices and have become the most popular candidates in the tower with the most potential to attack quasi-witches.

Therefore, in the face of the scorching gaze of a powerful wizard apprentice, Grim was obviously mentally exhausted, and his mind was greatly suppressed.

"Grim, something happened in the tower last night!Did you know?" the apprentice looked at Grim and didn't open his mouth, but Alan next to him was shouting there.

"What's wrong? Someone has been devoured by a witchcraft experiment?" Grim clearly hasn't figured out the situation yet.

"It's not a witchcraft experiment, it's someone who has been attacked. It's right inside his abode!" Seeing that Grim's confused eyes and surprised expression did not seem to be fake, Anksel spoke slowly, his gaze still not sparing the slightest change in Grim's face.

"Attack?" Grim was first startled, then shocked: "Who died!"

Although the Swamp Tower has had occasional accidental deaths of wizard apprentices, most of them have died from dangerous missions and strange witchcraft experiments, but there has never been a precedent for being attacked and killed by others. After all, every wizard apprentice he cultivates is a valuable asset to Master Anderson, the wizard of the Tower, and he simply does not allow apprentices to kill each other due to infighting.

Once such a thing is discovered by him, the violator will inevitably be punished extremely severely.

"Mirey!"

Grim frowned.

He knew that this Mirei was also an ordinary apprentice who had only mastered one witchcraft, and he didn't know much about anything else. I only vaguely remember that he was a boy with freckles on his face, younger than himself.

"Then you came to me to ......"

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

"Yes, everyone's room has to be checked. Get out of the way, or the wizard will blame you, can you afford it?" Fenrir was undoubtedly the most annoying person, shouting desperately beside him.

A touch of anger rose in Grim's 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 room of the evil worm? Not to mention the madwoman's room. I'm afraid I'm really going to meet a crazy girl, so you guys have to take a detour!

Despite the fury in his heart, Grim's face was only a little ugly, and he hesitated for a moment, and finally turned sideways to open the door.
