After Grant said goodbye to Emir and the others, he didn't rest and rushed back to the mage cluster.

He went to the city of Seleface and went anywhere else. Instead, find a hotel and sleep in. Grant has a habit of getting a good night's sleep after he is on the road. This makes it easy to keep your mental concentration at its best.

Two days later.

In the early morning, a shimmer of light filtered through the window and shone on Grant's sleeping face. He frowned, and looked up to see the golden glow of the roof against the waves.

He got out of bed, took off his pajamas, changed into a robe, and stretched again.

"Ha, I've slept for two whole days, it's a bit long. Fortunately, my spirit has recovered to its optimal point. I didn't expect that half a year in Glory City would be so intense, and the remaining time must be upgraded. ”

Grant said a casual remark, and walked over to the wooden window to take a look outside.

The windows of the bedrooms in the hotel are next to the wooden beds, and the black wooden windows are covered with a white paper-like film, which is the simplest type of window in the city, and can change over time.

There was a creak and the window pushed open.

A fresh breeze unique to the early morning blows in, mixed with the faint smell of pancakes.

Grant poked his head out and looked down at the flow of people coming and going on the street below, one after another, and it was very lively.

"It's time to get out of here and go to the Black Shadow Slayer. I haven't been there for half a year, and I don't know what has become of it. Grant retracted his head and walked to the desk in the horizontal corner. On the table was a pale yellow scalp roll, and a golden quill pen was placed casually by the ink. The candlestick that had been placed the night before had not been blown out, and it had long since run out of wax oil. Only a lone needle core remains.

He pulled out his high-backed chair and sat down. Hold the pen and plan to write out the upgrade plan for the mage cluster.

The quill starts with a slight sink. There is also a thin layer of gilding on top. Grant touched it, and it was very smooth.

"The monsters in the mage cluster are mainly from level 10 to level 30. Like level 30 or so, they all belong to the bosses and are distributed all over the place, so there is no problem in normal times. But to escalate before the Bloodthirsty Revenge, you have to be fast. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare sufficient scrolls and a large number of spiritual power potions plus rune arrays, just killing is too consuming. Hunting dungeon areas can get a good income, but unfortunately there are slightly fewer monsters. There are advantages and disadvantages on both sides. There is one area left, and that is the new Black Fog region. There are many treasures there, such as second-order top and third-order monsters. Especially during this period of his absence, I believe that there will be more powerful demon corpses. It's a great option to try. As for the rest, put it first. Later, I will go to the auction house to get a third-order spiritual power blessing set. Then go to the Black Shadow Killers. That's how it was intended. ”

Grant said on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also recorded some important things, and used numbers to divide which ones were more important and which could be put down. Only in this way can you allocate your own plans.

A few hours later, Grant settles the cost of the hotel and goes out to buy the set.

…………

A room in the rift valley with stone walls emitting a faint white light from the illumination crystal.

The bookshelf on the left is embedded in the stone wall, and on it is a heavy book on the theory of prophecy. A man with an inverted cross on his forehead sits in a chair and looks at a piece of paper on his desk.

On the smooth pale yellow paper, a quill pen writes neatly black text on it.

Rustling sounds. There are also subtle elemental fluctuations that spread in all directions.

The man who turned the cross looked at it seriously for a while, and a quill in one hand.

Syllable!

The quill seemed to have lost its magic and fell straight onto the paper. The man lifted the quill and placed it on the pen holder and looked at the message left on it. A shallow smile curled up at the corner of his mouth: "Grant, this guy is finally back, and I haven't seen him for half a year." As early as three months ago, several directors of the council wanted to look for him. Looks like it's okay to reply. ”

The person who spoke was none other than Kurolo!

…………

There is a large gray square in front of the rift. There is no decoration on it. Grant rode the speed snake to a corner of the square. He stood in the square and looked at the entrance to the cave, where there were two mages in tight robes.

"This time after I left. It stands to reason that another selection event was held. The Black Shadow Killer Regiment has one more unfamiliar face that they don't know for a while. I'd better go to my room and have a look, I don't know if anyone has touched it. ”

Grant thought for a moment and walked straight to the cave.

It was at this moment that a surprise shattered his plans.

"Wow wow, you're Grant."

"You are?" Grant turned his head to see the emaciated mage behind him, with a smile on his face, "It's been a long time since I've seen you, Byatt." ”

"It's been a long time since I've seen you kid, no, I should say Deputy Head Grant." Beate looked excited and hugged Grant and slapped him twice on the ass. almost made Grant think that Bate had such a strange hobby for half a year.

Grant asked, "You look a little pale, are you in trouble with a mission?" ”

"Some little things, let's go in and have a look."

"Yes, no problem." Grant and Bate stepped into the cave in unison. A few of the new members of the Black Shadow Killer Group didn't know who the man in front of them was, and they whispered, "Who is that guy?" Why are you so intimate with Captain Beate, the distance just now is a little far, and the wind is too loud to hear what they are talking about. ”

"You don't know him, he's Deputy Head Grant." A man next to him muttered to himself, as if he were the man.

"Wow, it's the first time I've seen the deputy head of the regiment, so young."

"People are geniuses among geniuses, and there are still some differences between them and ordinary geniuses like us."

"You're not wrong."

They were also very sighing as they chatted.

After Grant and Beate entered the exchange hall, they saw a line of pale red handwriting above the light curtain interface, which said Welcome Grant to become the deputy head of the Black Shadow Killing Troupe, I hope everyone knows ......

Grant was stunned when he saw it. But this time I'm going to see if the interface has a task about black fog. Because the black fog has been eroding the territory. He guessed that most of them were missions such as extermination. Although you have to kill monsters to level up, it is also a good thing to have an extra batch of points. At least. Grant thinks it's good.

The light curtain that emits a faint white light lines of text are lined up, neatly from top to bottom. Most of them are missions that hunt down some demon corpses and exchange them for items. After all, the Black Shadow Killer Group can't just pay for nothing. While offering membership, it is also necessary to minimize losses. After Grant glanced at it a few times, he also valued a few tasks.

Suddenly, a pale blue flame ignited in the passage of the hall, and the flames flew.

The approaching mage was startled, surprised that there was a flame at this time.

When the flames burned to the last point, a man with an inverted cross tattooed on his forehead appeared. He was slender with soft white fuzz rings on either side of his neck, and after glancing down the hall or two, he noticed Grant in the corner. Smile lightly.

When the other mages noticed the comer, they were also surprised and exclaimed.

"Hello Captain Kurolo!"

"Hello Captain Kurolo!"

When they saw the regiment commander walking slowly, they all took a step back and gave way to the regiment commander. In any case, the head of the regiment is the top existence in their hearts.

Grant smiled when he saw someone coming. He is now on the same level as Captain Kurolo, and he doesn't need to be polite to others, just a little smile is enough.

"You're welcome back!"

"Thank you for the leader's concern, I don't know what the head of the group is looking for me now?"

"Hehe, you haven't forgotten. Once the deputy head of the delegation has passed the review, he has to rush to the Council of Elders of the Academy for a meal, and they are familiar with each other. Because you weren't there before, now you're back. I can help you organize. The time is set for tomorrow's Shadow Academy headquarters, you know? ”

"Yes, I see. It will definitely come when the time comes. Grant nodded. Understood.

Captain Kurolo glanced at it a few times, and after a trace of surprise crossed his eyes. He pursed his lips and left the hall, intending to inform the Shadow Academy Elders about this. Get it done. He was also freed to do other things.

"Amazing, I didn't expect the deputy head to have this treatment. Now you're going to step into the upper echelons. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, let's go to the city for a meal. I haven't seen each other again for half a year. ”

"Of course, by the way, how about Tiffir? Something's wrong. ”

"Let's go."

Grant and Bate spoke for a while before leaving the hall. There are only a few exclamations left. They all knew that the two people who were smiling just now were the deputy head of the regiment and the other was the head of the regiment. They are all high-level figures of the Black Shadow Killing Group.

…………

The Shadow Academy is a ring of buildings connected and encircled, with a pale green playground in the center. The outermost ring is a pale yellow iron fence, and every five meters, there is a bronze sculpture of a mage.

A faint white mist floated around the Shadow Academy. The grass on the ground was green and there was a layer of crystal dew.

A room in the Elders' Department.

The floor and walls are covered with a thick layer of gray blankets and wallpaper, and there is a bookshelf and several desks. In the center of the room is a round mahogany table with a textured surface embedded with elemental gemstones. A glowing black crystal floated on the table, and a thin beam of black light floated like a thin snake wandering back and forth.

Laugh at~~~

A burst of blue light flashed, and there was a faint crackling sound of lightning.

"Tomorrow, Grant will come." Kurolo left the language alone. Because the upper echelons of the Presbyterian Church usually have important research or matters to deal with, they may turn off the communication charm. The best way to do this is to place the information in the information room, and once it comes, the staff will convey the information.

A female mage with sockets found out and told the elders.

…………

Following.

It wasn't bright yet, only a little sunlight pierced through the heavy clouds. The city of Seleface is still at dawn.

He got up early, dressed in a clean robe. casually looked at the human mirror, and after a few clicks, she walked to the top of the rift valley to find the head of the Kurolo and go to the headquarters of the Shadow Academy. He knew it was just a meeting, but there was no such process in the game.

When Culolo and Grant rushed to Seleface City, they talked and laughed. Two hours later, I came to the Shadow Academy.

They walked through the antechamber and some hallways to the fourth floor of a minaret.

The reception hall is large and has a long table in the middle with many dishes. Dozens of lit puppets on the roof. Maintain a soft brightness in the light of the hall. On the wall facing the door, there were four or five large half-curved windows that opened silently, and a cool breeze blew in.

Seven or eight mages sat on either side. He wears a wide black robe, and holds a knife or silver fork in one hand.

Their hair and beard are gray. There are wrinkles scattered across the dry face. At this time, he noticed Grant and Kurolo who pushed the door in, and smiled friendlyly: "You guys are here, come and sit down." The dishes this morning were delicious, and the cheese soup was pretty good, with just the right amount of sweet and sour. ”

"Yes, we see. Director Henry! Kurolo smiled, and with a step, he sat down at the table. Grant knew that the meal would begin. Find a place to sit down and say hello to the mage in front of you. He knew that he was also half of the Shadow Academy.

"You're Grant, I've heard of you, a very nice lad. I used to be a teacher in the shadow department at the Shadow Elementary College, right? ”

"Well, I was a teacher in the first place." Grant nodded.

"Hehe, my grandson is the little guy who served as the branch director of the elementary college."

"......" When Grant heard the other party say that the dean was a little guy, there was a black line in his head. Thinking of the white-haired and pale dean in the state of an old grandfather calling the old man in front of him is a strange feeling.

Then, Grant had a chat with the mages in front of him. The dishes on the table are eaten quickly. In a short time, most of it was eaten, and only bits and pieces remained. Grant thought he was talking about something, but he didn't expect to come over to eat this time, and he ate very quickly.

Two hours later. Grant left the Shadow Academy in confusion and hurried to the Rift. Since there's nothing to do here, let's leave.

The other side.

Syllable!

One by one, the windows of the chamber closed automatically. The room was closed without a single gap.

A glowing golem on the roof. One by one, they fell into the corner and lay still, the lights dimmed.

"The Initiator! Grant is gone! ”

A few gray-colored old men sitting at the dining table opened their eyes. A flash of light flashed. Together with the momentum on his body, it is also very different from just now. If Grant came like a cat, now he looks like a tiger.

Eight people stood in unison, bowing to the table.

Rushing......

A little floating purple fire appeared in front of the dining table, and little by little, after a dozen or even hundreds of fire points appeared in a row, it automatically condensed into a green-robed figure. His whole body was enveloped in a heavy dark green robe, and his exposed eyes ignited a faint green flame that swayed in the air.

"Strange? How could this person have the breath of hell and purple mist? And there is also the breath of a wurm and a half-dragon, if he is good at using magic pets and swords. Then it should be the breath that the demon pet dyed on him. But I didn't expect there to be four rare monsters, no, is he a reincarnated person? ”

Thinking of the end, the flames in the eyes of the green-robed figure increased suddenly, and it tended to become more and more turbulent.

From Grant's review to the process of deputy head of the regiment, he noticed the young man in front of him. Because the speed at which his strength is progressing is unbelievable, as the original founder of the Shadow Academy, he feels that the person in front of him is very mysterious, so he specially asked someone to bring it to observe it with his own eyes. I didn't expect him to have so much aura on his body, and he thought that his strength had improved so quickly. He speculated that Grant might be a reincarnated person

The Reincarnated is a secret technique of the Nightmare Frontier Survival Mage. Some powerful mages will use the container to regenerate and continue to cultivate because of the problem of the mage's lifespan. They grow up slowly in the first few decades, and their strength and memories will be restored with it. Reincarnated people can't be measured by ordinary people, they are all weirdos.

The founder must have come from the Nightmare Frontier, otherwise there would be no half-dragon demon pet. Thinking of this, his eyes showed a burst of joy. The recent black fog has been a danger. Although he was already at the top of the mage cluster, he and his old friends had no way to stop the black mist erosion, unless they could get the top magic sealing weapon of the Nightmare Border Continent to stop the black fog erosion. Otherwise, in about a thousand years, the black fog will swallow up the mage cluster.

Although he is a fourth-order mage, he also does not have the right to enter the Nightmare Frontier.

After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice.

"Go about your business. I'll go and come back, yes, that's it for Grant's side for the time being. ”

The eight mages frowned, full of doubt. The founder in front of him was a fourth-order mage, and the top person standing in Seleface City and even the mage cluster was actually interested in a small deputy leader. They don't know why, but right now the founders don't speak, they don't do anything superfluous.

"Grant, this guy has a secret. But the Founder doesn't speak, and we don't say anything else. ”

"Of course, we still concentrate on our own business."

"Then let's all get out of here, I'm sure we all have urgent things to do."

"Then you still need to say it?"

……

After several directors discussed for a while, they all left the reception hall in twos and threes. Kurolo sat in a corner, his eyes puzzled. He didn't know what Grant's true identity was, and even if it was a prophecy, it would be difficult to calculate Grant's true identity in front of him, unless he stepped into the fourth order.

"Forget it, I'll go back too. There are some things that I can't deal with. ”

Captain Kurolo shook his head, ignited a burst of dark red flames, and disappeared into the reception hall.

…………

On the other side, Grant didn't know that the fourth-order mage had already been thinking about him. At this time, he also rushed to the headquarters of the Black Shadow Killing Group. I'm going to take a few missions to go to the black fog.,The upgrade plan is about to start today.。 But before that, a batch of scrolls and some potions needed to be purchased. (To be continued......)
