Chapter 0117: Conspiracy
Day 2. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Wizard Anderson unusually summoned the entire tower's wizard apprentices and announced the new identities of Ntik, Mary, and Grim. From now on, the three of them are no longer subject to the apprenticeship system, they can arrange their lives as they like, and become the people below Anderson Wizard and have the highest voice in the Wizard Tower.
In the crowd, the face of the new apprentice leader Allen was extremely pale, but he looked helpless.
Quasi-witches!
It's a bunch of monsters somewhere between a wizard's apprentice and a full-fledged wizard!
It's hard to predict exactly who among them is more likely to make it to the wizard level, so offending any of them could turn into a disaster for the lower level apprentices!
Can...... But Alan had already deeply angered one of them.
So in the first moments after the meeting, Alan visited the Ntik with all the resources he could gather.
Since Ntik, Mary, and Grim had all moved their residences to the 4th floor of the Wizarding Tower, even Alan, the head apprentice, had to make a request to visit Ntik if he wanted to see him, and then stood humiliatingly at the entrance from the 3rd floor to the 4th floor waiting for the other party's consent.
And that's not all! The most infuriating thing is that that damn Grim unceremoniously took his contract creature, a goblin, to the fourth floor and made it a resident of it. This aroused Allen's resentment even more!
A goblin, a lowly, lowly, dirty, cowardly...... The goblin actually rode on top of his head? At the thought of this, Allen's heart was like stuffed with thatch, and he panicked!
No one knows what Eren and the evil worm Ntik are secretly talking about. However, when Eren came out of Entik's room, he immediately became arrogant and resumed his previous swagger.
And at the same time as Allen's transformation, a small meeting was going on in the mad girl's room. There were only 2 attendees, Mad Girl and Hawkeye Crusha.
Once upon a time, in order to keep the same pace and keep the interests of their subordinates from being violated, the three powerhouses of the Swamp Tower would often gather together to negotiate things. But today, with the evil insect Ntik becoming a quasi-witch, the small circle of the three strong people, who were originally harmonious and equal, has also become a thing of the past, and everything has changed radically!
"Well, your circle there is quite stable, right?" The mad girl's eyes were full of cold light at the moment, far less manic and reckless than before, showing the calm wisdom that a senior apprentice should have.
Benson and Carl summoned a meeting, and the wallgrass didn't show up on the pretext that there was an important witchcraft experiment, and it seemed that they were going to change their court. Hawkeye Crutha smiled helplessly: "The hardcore Chris of the evil insect is recruiting, and those guys may have already secretly contacted him." Hmph......"
With that, Clutha glanced up at the madwoman and asked, "What about you, how are you doing there?"
"Hmph...... Donna can't command those subordinates anymore, and they're still complaining to me just now!"
The two of them were relatively speechless, and they were both a little melancholy in their hearts.
At the beginning of the compulsory mission, they also despised this trial task too lightly, and did not push themselves too hard. Mad Girl only chose a red mission that was not very dangerous, while Clutha directly chose a lower orange mission. Now in the face of two strong rising quasi-witches, although these veteran senior apprentices are unwilling, they are more helpless and powerless.
After a moment of silence, Clutha finally spoke.
"At the moment, it seems that the relationship between Ntik and that Mary is very bad, even to the point of-for-tat. Look, do we need to take a side between them?"
"You want to take refuge in one of them?" the mad woman's face darkened. As the oldest senior apprentice, let her pull down her face and be someone else's follower, she ...... It's hard to imagine that humiliating and terrible life.
"I'm afraid that if we wait a few more days, we will not have to choose. Clutha was quite calm and realistic: "Mary is too arrogant, except for her little white face, she doesn't care about anyone's feelings and face, and she won't take care of our inherent interests." So ......"
"So you'd like to make contact with Ntik?"
"Well, although the evil worm guy is more radical, after all, he has been dealing with us for a long time, as long as we give up some interests, he should be able to accept us. After all, if he wants to deal with that Mary, he still needs the two of us to help. No matter how many of those local chickens and dogs he recruits, he can be a fart when dealing with a quasi-witch. The only ones who can help him are the two of us!"
The mad girl snorted and nodded angrily, agreeing with Hawkeye's opinion.
However, before she could say anything, the secret room where only the two of them suddenly sounded the low voice of the evil insect Ntik.
"I can't imagine that Hawkeye is still judging the situation as always, yes, I need the help of the two of you at the moment!"
The two of them who were talking in secret were shocked.
The mad girl even opened a pair of bronze bell-like leopard eyes, and her eyes scanned her residence with burning eyes.
Under the uneasy gaze of the two, there was a strange sound of rustling from the deep back behind Clutha. Immediately afterwards, a strange scorpion worm with a strange shape came out of it, waving its giant claws at the two of them. On the black carapace on the scorpion's back, a pale human face protruded, and it was the ugly face of Ntik's mutation.
"You two, it's been a long time, why don't you know me at the party?"
The mad girl Hawkeye was silent and did not answer Ntik's question, but the flickering eyes of the two still revealed the tension in their hearts. Unexpectedly, it was just a small difference in rank, and it was already difficult for them to see through each other's witchcraft methods.
"Don't be nervous. As Hawkeye said, I need your help right now. If the two of you are willing to condescend to join my Evil Worm Alliance, then my Ntik is no longer welcome!"
The corners of the madwoman's mouth twitched violently a few times.
She is not a fool, since this so-called alliance is named after the name of Ntik, then naturally everything is dominated by Ntik. The two of them are allies at best, but they are just high-level thugs at worst! Although they are unwilling, the madwoman still wants to hear each other's true intentions.
"What do you need us to do for you?"
"Help me keep an eye on those two guys. Help me deal with them when necessary. Don't worry, I'm not going to let you go against Mary. If there is really a conflict, I just need the two of you to help me entangle that Grim, and Mary and I will deal with it myself!"
After listening to Ntik's words, the two of them showed unconcealed surprise on their faces. Clutha couldn't help but blurt out, "You only let the two of us help you entangle that Grim......?" He's just become a senior apprentice! For a novice like this, I can clean it up all by myself, right?"
"Hawkeye, don't think too highly of yourself!" came out ......of the scorpion's signature sneer, "Hawkeye, don't think too highly of yourself! I'm afraid you two haven't seen it yet, the combination of Mary and Grim is obviously based on that Grim. Or rather, he's the central figure in this group!"
"What?"
"Impossible!"
Mad Maiden and Hawkeye's reaction was as shocked as they had when they heard that the evil insect had advanced to the quasi-witch. The evil insect Ntik, who became a quasi-witch, was so cautious about the former junior apprentice, this ...... It was too much of a surprise to them.
Could it be that Grim what's really weird?
"Don't forget, this Mary's background is nothing more than a half-alienated second-class vampire. It's a fool's dream that such a terrible bloodline talent also wants to advance quickly. And the only thing that can bring her such a strange change can only be the weird boy whose strength has skyrocketed. In this pair, only that Grim really can't see through it!"
Clutha was silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but ask, "Mary has now become a quasi-witch, will the wizard agree to you to deal with her so blatantly?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hawkeye heard Ntik's arrogant sneer.
"Truly...... I signed a family contract, and she signed a contract of employment, who do you think the family wizards will help if something happens? and...... Without the involvement above, do you think I would be so eager to deal with a quasi-witch of my rank?"
"You're saying it's Ander who wants to deal with Mary......," Clutha said in a lost voice.
"Hawkeye, if you don't want to die in vain, you can rot these damn words in your stomach. There are some things you can do, you don't need to be so clear, it won't do you any good!" Evil Worm Ntik hastily interrupted Crusha's words, and the ugly and hideous Worm finally had a threatening look on his face.
Hawkeye Crutha swallowed hard, glanced at the madwoman, and finally nodded silently.
"Truly...... Know that you will make the wisest choice. Well, I'll contact you if necessary. Hawkeye is in charge of staring those two people to death, and Mad Girl, you're in charge of training those mid-level apprentices and letting them play a little bit of a role when the time comes. Hmph, if we find the right opportunity, we'll teach them a good lesson!"
With that, as the screeching of the treacherous and arrogant insects echoed in the residence, the black scorpion turned into a puddle of poisonous water, slowly melting into the floor and disappearing.
Only the two of them were left in the room, the relatively speechless mad girl Hawkeye!
In a secret room on the fourth floor of the swamp tower, the vanished scorpion suddenly emerged from the floor and climbed onto a cold figure covered by a black cloak.
The cold figure suddenly stretched out a strange big hand that was half flesh and half carapace, grabbed the scorpion and stuffed it into its mouth. As the scorpion turned into a puddle of pus and carapace shards under the chewing of its jagged teeth, the evil insect Ntik raised his head and revealed his face.
It can be seen that in just a few days, the degree of insect transformation on his body has deepened.
Now he is not so much a human apprentice as a wormman with a human identity.
He has become "it"!
