Chapter 009: A New Residence

The pitch-black minaret is made of rough stone on both sides, and there are small windows every four or five meters outside the tower to let the sunlight shine in.

Grant followed the old man slowly towards the gate of the Black Tower.

"You just have to say to the key where the room is, they will automatically sense, and then you can go up with it, by the way, other mages also live here, don't usually stay in front of their house, you also know that mages don't like people hanging out in front of their homes."

The old man bent down slightly, finished his words with a serious face, and then staggered back to his mission location, and continued to record the complex and heavy quick calculations, and occasionally read some theoretical books and advanced shortcuts on pharmacy there.

It was a very difficult process for an old man like him to reach this age to transition from a first-order mage to a second-order mage, and he couldn't see any future, so he simply stayed there and delved into some aspects of pharmacy.

"Whew~~"

Tefier breathed a sigh of relief in a low voice, his face showed a hint of relaxation, and he said in a low voice: "I always feel that he seems to be staring at me all the time, and his strength is stronger than mine, and he deliberately suppresses my strength aura, and even my force field is disturbed by the moment." ”

"Sister, why haven't I been suppressed, I feel like he is an ordinary old man, and he doesn't pay attention to his appearance, and he doesn't even wear his clothes."

"I don't know."

Tefiel glanced at her sister and shrugged her shoulders helplessly, she remembered that she didn't seem to have offended the old man, how could she suddenly suffer such discriminatory treatment.

"It may be that your badge exudes the aura of your teacher, and your teacher may have a hateful or bad relationship with the old man. It's not much of a deal anyway. He won't care too much or target you. ”

After Grant said this, he reached out his right hand and touched the heavy gray-black wooden door. The left and right edges of the wooden door are two circles of strange black and red textures, while above and below are two lines of simple and clear magical text.

"Let's go inside."

Grant touched the back of the heavy wooden door with the key. He plunged headlong into the surface of the wooden door, which seemed to ripple like a lake, and Grant quickly dived into it and disappeared.

"Huh?" Tenfil and Taylor let out a startled sigh and walked in curiously.

A rectangular open space in the tower, in the center stands a thick metal iron pillar, the surface is surrounded by gold and black runes, the runes form a herringbone in the void in front of it. A spiral staircase is constantly entrenched around the iron pillar, leading to the top of dozens of meters.

"Wow~~"

In a transparent place, a figure suddenly appeared. He was wearing a black robe, holding a silver key in his hand, and after looking up at the situation in the tower with short flaxen hair, he couldn't help but show a hint of nostalgia and emotion, he immediately raised the key above his head and closed his eyes.

With a bang, the location of his room came to his mind.

"Grant, is this the tower?"

"Wow, what a great place. I hadn't really found anything like this in my research tower before. ”

Tiffel and Taylor also came in from the outside, and they found that although the door seemed to be black and gray from the outside, it was transparent inside, as if there were no wooden doors or buildings blocking it.

"Alright. Follow me up slowly, there's nothing worth seeing here. Let's go and arrange some of the salutes and things briefly, and you have to deal with the affairs of your servants. I also have some urgent things to do. ”

Grant said a word and jumped down the gray stone staircase. Keep going up the spiral staircase. He noticed black stone slabs floating around him, leading to rooms in the tower with closed doors.

Tenfir and Taylor glanced curiously at the doors around them. They were much more surprised than the experienced Grant, although they had been mages for many years, they had been living in ordinary human places, and it was difficult to see some common magical daily utensils, let alone the academy that specialized in training mages.

They walked all the way, directly past the five or six floors of the room pavilion.

When it was about to reach the top, a gray-yellow scalp paper hung next to the iron pillar in the center, and a milky white light cluster protected it.

"Suck!"

Grant stretched out a hand and extended a portion of his mental power to pull it over.

He rubbed the scalp paper full of magical energy protection, and after easily crushing it, he found that it was a task record report that recorded the task.

The main thing is that the mages in the tower automatically form a team and go to receive the quest.

"Mage Alliance C-Rank Mission: Find and collect the bones and claws of ten multi-legged demon wolves, with a time limit of six days. The hunt can be entered by both solo and multiplayer, and the payment for the Demon Stone is twenty Demon Stones, which are currently claimed by Arthur Wright, a mage of the Shadow Academy. ”

"There are currently three members, and two team members are needed to help, if you use it, tear the parchment, and I will immediately sense your location."

Grant glanced at it and put it back in its original place. He doesn't need to do the task first, he can wait until he becomes a teacher in ten days before picking up something else.

"What's that?" Tiffel asked unclear.

Grant glanced at it and explained in a low voice, "It's a common task report used to assemble team members, and you can sense their presence as long as you tear it up." ”

"I mean, that mission, the specific meaning of the Mage Alliance, I remember that the Mage Alliance is not a protection alliance composed of mages from the two major factions in black robes, responsible for defending against aliens in the alien world?"

"Oh, that's what you're talking about." Grant snapped.

"The Mage Alliance is not only an alliance organization responsible for defense and protection, it is also a huge system of traders, like the one in front of you, which is a branch alliance in the city, they will issue different tasks every day, summon other mages to collect tasks, and collect a large number of resources for them."

After Grant finished speaking, his ears moved slightly, and he looked up at the three mages who came down from the spiral staircase, they were wearing a thick black robe, and one of them was also wearing a white robe, and at this moment he was wearing a magic short blade or an enchanted longbow and walked down, and his eyes also spotted Grant's figure.

One of the white robes at the head smiled slightly: "You are new to serve as teachers, I am Arthur Lite, an elemental mage who serves as the water element course, and the latter two are my companions, let's go on a mission first, you go up first to familiarize yourself with some of your own rooms." ”

"Hello go, I wish you an easy and successful mission."

After Grant smiled politely, he turned left and made way for the three mages in front of him to walk, since the other party was very polite to exchange some topics with them, showing enough politeness. In the face of these, it is really not difficult to give them a small path to walk.

"Think." Arthur Wright smiled and walked down with his partner.

After they were far away, Grant also put away his gaze and glanced indifferently at the room in the upper left corner, and said: "My room is there, I think you also sensed your respective rooms just now, don't say anything else, everyone go to their own rooms to tidy up their things." ”

"Of course I do."

Teffel and Taylor smiled.

…………

"Bang!"

Grant closed the door to his room and turned to look at his abode, where the gray walls of the hall were full of fantastical monsters or paintings of mages, their expressions were vivid and full of rhythm. In the circular living room, two pale yellow sofas are placed on the left and right sides, and there are two passages in front of it leading to the study and bedroom.

"The room isn't too big, but at least it's much better than my room in Wanghuo City, I'll stay here and I'll take a look at the dead woods tomorrow."

Grant said secretly, he knew that he had to do some ways to improve his strength when he arrived in the Shadow Academy, and now the strength and quality of the demon pet were also trapped in a certain stage.

He is one level away from being able to get another main demon pet slot, these are the keys to improving his strength, with strength, he can have more resources, and resources can accumulate weapons and equipment, and even search for some strange items of energy liquid, just like the necklace of Tefil before, which is full of energy, that kind of immediacy "experience stone" is definitely a good item, and it is precisely because of this that he can't give up.

After a brief moment, Grant fell asleep early. After making up for the two days of sleep, I went into the dead forest to prepare.

Prophecy Life Probe is a great ability that allows Grant to know when the Soul Seed will erupt.

On the other hand, after arranging the rooms briefly, he went to deal with the accommodation of the knights, and managed to rent a room in the town.

Nothing was said all night.

Dawn, when the sky is still gray.

In Grant's room, a gray-yellow oil lamp was also lit, and the curling water slowly shook along the wick. Dressed in a thin buckskin armor and covered with a black robe, he knew that he would have to hurry up and ask the time of his soul seed outbreak in the dead woods today.

The journey through the dead forest takes about three days from the previous route.

"Well, everything is ready. I'd better get out of here quickly. Grant covered his face and hurried down the tower, leaving the tower without saying a word to Tenfil or Taylor.

Outside the tower, there were still some pale golden stars in the sky outside surrounding the silver moon. The northernmost summit of Mount Orcas also showed the light of the rising sun, and the pale red color was like a fiery cloud.

He was under such a night sky, slowly walking towards the gate of the Shadow Academy. (To be continued.) )
