This is a gloomy magical swamp.
Thick fog is wet and heavy.
Even during the day, the bright sunshine can't penetrate the low clouds and the gloomy fog, letting you feel the warmth of the world.
The muddy and filthy smell water can be seen everywhere, there is not much water, but the strange creatures parasitic inside are really quite a lot. Whenever a stranger breaks into this place, this quiet and desolate land will instantly become a paradise for the bloodthirsty bloodthirsty creatures. Vampire vines, scavenger crows, swamp giant crocodiles, and ugly ghosts who look like dead people, each is a terrible monster that has been shunned by business travel.
However, in the middle of the swamp where the living can't walk, there is a strange tower of horror up to 100 meters.
This is a stone tower.
Its tower base is all made up of thick and dense Qinghui stone. When the night falls, the whole tower will radiate a cool and quiet faint radiant fluorescence, which is especially favored by ghosts and souls.
Perhaps it lacks the necessary maintenance and care, and the bottom of the entire tower is entwined by the mad growing vines, which are covered with metal luster. If ordinary people are entangled in this magical vine, they will be absorbed into the blood of the body in a half-time, and become a member of the thick white bones of the vine roots.
The sky was dim and the candle was ignited in the tower.
The faint candlelight is transmitted through the narrow narrow window, which not only can not bring half-warm warmth, but it makes people feel a chill.
Glim, who had just passed his 15th birthday, sat in front of a dilapidated wooden table, and a thick book of law was spread out in front of him, and he was quietly transcribed. Although I have been in this new world for two years, the discomfort on the soul still makes him feel a headache from time to time.
In a period of spiritual diligence, in the past, a scene that happened on the earth, the scene of the scene continued to flash in front of the eyes, so that his pen tip could not help but smack, leaving a large group of ink on the simple parchment.
Damn, it has failed!
Grimm frowned, couldn't help but hold the fist, and wanted to scream a few times. But after enduring for a long time, I finally suppressed this anger.
It is no longer the earth that you are familiar with, and this body once belonged to a wizard apprentice named Glim. Seriously speaking, he is just a passer-by who took advantage of Grim’s accidental death.
The hands of the empty world traversed from a low-magic earth to a high-magic world where the monsters were rampant and the wizards dominated. This difficult adaptation process made Li Wei unhappy. However, fortunately, the memory fragments left in this body allow Li Wei to merge, and he has the basic language and writing ability. Otherwise, the world’s quirky grammar pronunciation and completely different slang words can torture him. Half dead.
Even so, the headaches that arise from time to time still deeply plague him.
Here, he never dared to reveal his true identity, but could only struggle with the name of Grimm and struggle to survive in this wizard tower.
Although he is a wizard apprentice under the master of Anderson, this glory is worthy of the majority of people envious. But only the people living in this tower know that this is not only a glory, but the most terrible torture and torture in the world.
As a wizard apprentice, their basic job is to diligently take care of the great life of the great Anderson masters, clean up the witchcraft experimental equipment, keep the tower clean, take care of the magical plants and animals outside the tower, and... and become Anderson Master's experimental object.
Although this kind of thing is not common, when the team that transports the slaves or the death row is a few days late, the Anderson master who lacks the experimental object will be annoyed to make an apprentice act as his temporary mouse.
It is said that Mary, who came from the county next month, was "fortunate enough" to become the master of the witchcraft experiment with Master Anderson last month. Although she did not die from the witchcraft experiment, her body was seriously "contaminated" and some terrible changes occurred. Since coming out of the lab, she has put on a heavy burqa and hides in her room every day.
Many wizard apprentices are talking privately, and Mary may have died in the room.
But Glim knows that Mary is still alive.
Because every night when he was still, he could hear the painful and depressed depression in the next room, and the terrible sound of sharp claws scratching the rock wall. For this reason, every night when he is quiet, he will throw the food that he secretly brought back into the next room.
Although Grim’s life has been precarious, but because of the slightest ambiguity in his nature, he is still willing to do something more human within his ability.
It’s really not the time for this occasional episode of a migraine to occur, but it’s the time when he transcribes books. It was a waste of parchment that made him unlucky.
Don't underestimate this crumpled simplistic parchment, its basic value is 2 silver coins. In the current magical world, the most commonly used currency is of course the wizard gold coin. A wizard gold coin can be exchanged for 10 silver coins, and a silver coin can be exchanged for 10 copper coins, and 5 copper coins can make a civilian solve the day's food and clothing.
So in this way, a seemingly ordinary parchment can be considered a huge sum for the civilian class. But here, it is just the garbage that the wizard apprentice can throw away.
In the wizard tower, there has never been a free thing.
Everyday food and drink, including the cost of witchcraft learning, must be earned by Grimm's self-reliance, and the only way to make money is to walk out of the wizard tower and feed the ferocious and cruel creatures to take care of the spooky and demonized plants. To pick up some of the witchcraft materials specified by the wizarding adults and to clean up some dangerous witchcraft areas in the tower.
Although doing these kinds of work, they will wear the witchcraft talisman made by the wizarding adults, which can avoid touching the witchcraft array around the tower. However, in this mysterious world, no work can be absolutely safe. Every other month or two, there will always be a few unlucky ones, or they will be swallowed up when they take care of the demonized animals and plants, or when they clean a witchcraft area, they will die unconsciously in the witch radiation. .
So many times, the relatively quiet and comfortable work in the tower is monopolized by the veteran wizard apprentices. The rest of the weak wizard apprentices can only pick those jobs that are more dangerous, in order to earn money and knowledge points to continue their witchcraft learning.
Of course, money is used to buy some biological products, and the knowledge point is a value system specially developed by the wizarding adults to purchase knowledge. In the library inside the tower, each witchcraft book is marked with different knowledge points by the price tag, while borrowing books only accepts knowledge points, but does not accept money.
Apprentices only have to work hard to earn knowledge points to borrow the books they need for a short time. At this time, it is absolutely impossible for the apprentices to master all the knowledge in the books, so most apprentices will develop the habit of copying books.
For each borrowed witchcraft book, the apprentices will strive to transcribe the knowledge they need in the shortest possible time for future study. Ink and parchment are indispensable for transcripts, but these are not free. They need money to buy.
Of course, if a wizard's apprentice's family is in good shape, then he can use a lot of money in exchange for knowledge points. The conversion ratio between them is 1 knowledge point = 100 gold coins.
For example, this "Magic Bio-Common" borrowed by Glim today requires three knowledge points, and the time to borrow is only half a day. At the speed of Gramm's transcription, I want to write it out completely. It is estimated that it is necessary to borrow at least 3 times.
This adds up to 9 knowledge points, and these 9 knowledge points require Glim to get out of the tower for 2 weeks to earn.
Therefore, it is not a pity that he is wasting a parchment on the episode of a migraine headache. Unfortunately, he wasted two hours of copying time. This is the main reason why he is so angry!
Just as Grimm tried to mobilize the power of the whole body to suppress this angry emotion and prevent it from affecting his subsequent transcripts, a familiar "drop" sound suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Drop, the bio-energy has reached the standard, and the bio-assisted chip number ZXJ9521 starts to start..."
Glim was surprised to exclaim.
"Bio-assisted chip!"
Once upon a time, in the difficult years of the beginning of the crossing, Glim dreamed more than once that he could become the great **** of the hand. Punch Nanshan Nursing Home, kicking Beihai Kindergarten, all down below one meter, a slap in the morgue, "Stand up without approval!" No one dares to breathe...
It is a pity that this **** chip that has been integrated with him has not had any movements other than giving him a headache. Unexpected, I can't think of it... Today it finally started!
Waiting for the noisy debugging sound, a beautiful partial neutral female voice echoed in Grimm's mind.
"Detected host, in data modeling... please wait..."
Hey, can it quantify the current body? This is a very worth looking forward to!
After all, what is now in the world is a high-devil world. There is a magical substance called elemental particles everywhere in the space. These elemental particles are further classified into base particles such as ground fire, water and dark, depending on the basic elements of the plane.
A wizard usually has a high degree of affinity for these basic particles, and thus a number of different factions. It is precisely because the power system here is completely different from the Earth, so how to standardize and quantify the known data has become the biggest problem that plagues Grimm.
