According to the records of the Wizarding Continent, there are as many as 31 regions nominally under the jurisdiction of the Tallinn Wizards Association in the central part of the continent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The small ones are seven or eight hundred thousand square kilometers, and the large ones are several million square kilometers, with a vast territory and rich resources, and the population accounts for more than sixty percent of the entire wizarding continent.

The mission point of Grimm is located in the northeastern corner of the Dagon region, in the mountains of Kerra.

Since discovering a gateway to the underworld, the Wizards' Guild of Scattered Tallinn has built a wizarding tower near the entrance to the cave and stationed a powerful Tier 2 wizard to sit there. Don't think that a Tier 2 wizard is considered a bottom in the wizard system up to Tier 9, so it is not enough to be worthy of a big responsibility. The actual situation is that in the Wizard Continent, the birthplace of the wizard group, the highest-level wizard that can be heard and contacted is the 4th order.

Even the top wizards of the three major wizarding organizations and the Scattered Tallinn Wizards Association are all of the 4th order. As for the higher-level wizards, it is said that they have all left the wizarding world to explore and conquer the vast world of the Star Sea.

Therefore, this has also caused the current power pattern of the wizarding continent to be that the first-order official wizards are in the ascending period of frantically collecting knowledge and enriching themselves, and they are also the group with the largest number of major forces. And the second-order wizards are the backbone of the various academies to support the situation, and most of them have already taken charge of themselves. As for Tier 3 wizards, it is already possible to gather a group of followers and establish a small wizard organization or family.

And the 4th order wizard is the core combat force that all the large forces are desperately trying to win over. Of course, if this Rank 4 wizard has the heart, he can also open up an area to establish his own wizard kingdom.

The power ranking of all wizarding organizations and forces is actually measured by the number of Tier 4 wizards they have.

And the group of fallen wizards involved in the mission to explore the dark crypt undertaken by Grim is only some second-order wizards, so the wizarding association sends a second-order wizard to cooperate with the wizard tower, which is enough to resist the possible raids and attacks of fallen wizards.

However, the wars between wizards are not something that apprentices like Grim can participate in, so their mission is more to investigate the distribution and movement of underground creatures, as well as the possible dynamics of fallen wizards.

I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, in the shallow layer of the dark crypt, the most active are the wizard apprentices cultivated by the fallen wizards. The Wizards' Association of Scattered Tallinn rarely sends official wizards, and most of the people in charge of mission activities are wizard apprentices.

So it's no surprise that it was at the forefront of the rivalry and strangulation between the two wizard apprentices, with bloody and ferocious battles taking place almost daily. But on the other hand, a large number of potential wizard apprentices have experienced the outpouring of blood, sharpening the ferocity and ruthlessness that a battle wizard should have.

…………

As the flying ship slowly landed near the mission site, Grim was a little shocked.

The mission point was actually a small city, which was a bit of a surprise to him.

However, considering the proximity to the dark crypt here, it is not surprising that it can gather such a large number of chambers of commerce and secret merchants from time to time.

The place where the flying ship landed was a large square outside the city, and waiting here was a fierce-looking, bloody man, who should be a high-ranking apprentice.

Looking at the five people who walked down from the flying boat, the man showed an indescribable strange smile between his eyebrows, and a bloody veteran saw the arrogance and disdain of a rookie. But when he saw the strong wizard jumping down from the ship with a thud, he immediately put away all the expressions he shouldn't have, and bowed respectfully.

"Okay, okay, don't bother. This batch of wizard apprentices has been sent to you, so you should be careful with them. The next batch will be in 2 months. If you go too far and make a mistake, be careful of the Guild's punishment!" the muscular man waved his hand and knocked out the only five people on the boat like chickens.

"Don't worry, Lord Samir, the underground has been a little quieter than usual lately, and the patrol hasn't encountered those black cubs for half a month. The Black Lotus and the Night Eye Stone that you named last time have also been prepared, and they are waiting for you to go and accept them. A flattering smile appeared on the male apprentice's fierce face.

And Grim and the others only realized at this time that the refining wizard who came with the ship was called Samir.

"Well, you settle these new apprentices first, and I'll go around the city. You're settled, go find me with Old Kerry!" Without waiting for the male apprentice to reply, Wizard Samir had already taken a step and headed straight into the distance.

He bowed down and watched the other party go away, and when the Lord Samir was gone, he could no longer see his figure, and the fierce male apprentice straightened his waist.

"You all come with me!" The male apprentice's gaze quickly swept over the five people, and the color on his face did not change when he saw the two quasi-witches, but he frowned slightly when he saw Grim: "My name is Kevin, you can call me Kevin the Black Hand." ”

A simple opening statement, but listening to his proud voice, it seems to pay more attention to his title than his name.

"Kevin, Black Hand, don't you have a brother named White Hand?" said a young man in a short yellow robe with Linglang's eyes full of witchcraft on his exposed skin. He is also one of the 2 quasi-witches, and is obviously dissatisfied with the "black hand" Kevin for not paying special respect to them.

However, to his surprise, the black hand Kevin had already done it when he had a flash in his face.

Almost at the moment of turning his face, the black hand Kevin disappeared in place. And in the next second, a hazy and illusory figure appeared behind the young quasi-witch, holding a double dagger and pounced viciously.

With the quasi-witch's spiritual power of up to 20 points, it is difficult to hide his perception from any change in the environment within 10 meters of his body. Although he was shocked by his opponent's decisive shot, it did not prevent the young would-be witch from fighting back quickly.

There was a crackling burst of thunder, and a blue lightning defense net appeared behind him. The would-be wizard turned around in a moment's time, and two thick pillars of lightning erupted from his hands, hitting the senior apprentice who was paralyzed by the power grid.

At the moment of his shot, he also had a trace of hesitation.

The first time you come to this unfamiliar environment, you kill your "teammates" on the first day? Although the other party is the first to make the move, I am afraid that it will be a little troublesome to investigate!

Just as he was pondering whether he should rein in the intensity of the "lightning bombardment", a sharp pain came from his back, and a dark dagger covered in pitch black came out of his body, revealing a dagger tip on his chest. And at this time, the vague human figure struggling in the power grid turned into a mirror, shattering piece by piece in front of him. At the same time, a hideous, cold, hoarse voice rang in his ears.

"Here, what does the quasi-witch mean? next time, remember, don't joke with others!"

With that, the black hand Kevin pulled out the dagger from the young quasi-witch's body, took two steps back and stared at him coldly.

The young would-be witch was sweating profusely, but what frightened him even more was the elusiveness of Kevin, the black hand. Fighting through the pain, he pulled out a vial of purple potion from his waist pouch, half of which he took orally and half poured on the wound in his chest. Strange to say, it only took three or five fingers to do so, and the wound that pierced through the chest began to converge and heal, and then formed a bloody scab.

As the young would-be witch wiped it, the blood scab fell off, revealing the smooth white skin underneath.

"Bloody Mary!" Kevin the Black Hand whistled, "You quasi-witches really have a lot of good things on you! It seems that when I opened my mouth just now, I should have opened a bigger one for you! You know why I'm called Kevin the Black Hand now, right? That's because I like to do black hands behind other people's backs." The next time you want to get in trouble, remember to keep an eye on your back!"

The young would-be witch who had suffered a big loss gritted his teeth, but he had no intention of provoking again. And the quasi-witch who was walking with him frowned deeply, obviously shocked by the ferocity of the ruthless hand here if he didn't agree with him.

But what really scared the two was not Kevin's ferocious style, but his weird methods.

First of all, it is definitely not a spatial attack, otherwise it is impossible not to perceive spatial fluctuations. Secondly, it is impossible to attack with a clone, because in the end, Kevin appeared without warning at all, and the phantom body where he existed as a decoy could also sense Kevin's mental fluctuations. Otherwise, how could a young would-be witch be deceived so easily!

For a while, countless possibilities were ruled out one by one in everyone's hearts, and they were a little unsure of how the black hand Kevin did it. To defeat a quasi-wizard so easily as a high-level apprentice, there is certainly an element of surprise in it, but more importantly, the black hand Kevin's witchcraft ability is unpredictable.

Until he figured out the other party's roots, that young would-be witch didn't plan to let himself be a litmus test for others anymore.

Mary in Red is also an agile melee assassin, and with her dynamic vision, she can't even capture the movement of Kevin, the black hand. This couldn't help but make her brow furrow.

In her distraught, Grim tugged on her arm and mouth-molded the word "illusion."

In the very short fight just now, perhaps only Grim really saw everything.

Kevin's innate witchcraft ability is a rare "illusion".

Unlike other wizard apprentices who strive for greater and more powerful sorcery, this black hand Kevin pays more attention to the combination of natural sorcery and his own combat power. Under the deception of his illusion that could confuse the perception of the enemy's five senses, he did not leave the place at all just now, but used the illusion to cover himself.

When the young quasi-witch was deceived by the real-life phantom behind him, he also leaked his defenseless back to Kevin, who was also an agile assassin. Judging from the swiftness of his movements, Kevin's agility is second only to Mary in Red, and it should be between 13 and 15 points.

If such a guy runs at full speed, Grim doesn't have elemental vision, I'm afraid he won't even be able to see where his main body is, let alone defend against his full attack.

It has to be said that among the alchemy wizards, agile assassins like Mary in Red are the biggest nemesis of all apprentices who master elemental sorcery.
