It was like the last calm before a major storm, the atmosphere within the Swampy Tower was rather strange.
The Swampy Tower was just a small resource site owned by Adept Family, and it only had a total of 49 Apprentice Adepts. There were even three Beginner Apprentices who had just learned how to ditate.
Yet, in this group of apprentices whose overall strength was on the low side, four famous Pseudo-Adepts had made their appearance without a proper ground. In addition to that, among the population of all Pseudo-Adepts, any one of these four alone could be considered an outstanding existence. This was an abnormal situation, no matter where it happened, people would shout at its bizarreness.
After all, it took a huge amount of resources to cultivate a Pseudo-Adept. And in order to beco an Adept, besides hefty resources, they also needed so luck. With the current situation of the Swampy Tower, it would take extre fortune to cultivate a single Pseudo-Adept, let alone produce all four of them at the sa ti.
Perhaps, it was because of the existence of these four Pseudo-Adepts, Sarubo Family had paid more attention to the Magical Swamp. In addition to the Mission Hall, the Arcane Hut of Clute, the Popoli rchant, the Dephene Association of Delicacy, the Fenrir Pet Shop... all these shops and rchants who focused on apprentices had opened their businesses in the Swampy Tower.
Mixing amongst them, the Little Shop of Goblin opened by Snorlax had flourished in business.
Different from other businesses, from ti to ti, there would be one or two items that could be rated as that of premium quality that appeared in Snorlax’s little shop. They were either magical gemstones or magical materials or magical equipnt. In short, no matter what sort of items, they would always attract a large crowd of Interdiate and Advanced Apprentices rushing to purchase them.
As for that honorable Snorlax who didn’t have an impressive appearance, it actually had an exalted rank amongst the apprentices of the tower, which was sothing hardly matched by any outsiders. The reason was simple, just with the three Pseudo-Adepts standing behind it, nobody in this Swampy Tower had the courage to provoke it.
Since Alice had beco a part of the Swampy Tower, initially, she had thought that Greem would ask her to do all kinds of tasks every day. But to her surprise, since that day, she had never t her nominal ‘master’ again. She didn’t expect that Greem was actually a nerd who rarely stepped out from his residence. Every day, he was either dwelling in his room and reading books or locking himself in the Alchemy Laboratory, doing so secret experints.
All his als were sent into his residence by Snorlax, and he never showed himself during normal days. Although this had spared Alice from feeling embarrassed when eting him, but it actually made her feel a little bit angry as she was being treated coldly.
Utilizing the few days of free ti she had, Alice questioned Snorlax repeatedly. From its mouth, she managed to dig out every single thing Greem had achieved since he had made his debut until now. In addition to that, using her status as an Pseudo-Adept, she too had an understanding about Greem’s behavior in the early days from the mouth of a few apprentices in the tower.
Put it this way, the more Alice understood, the more confused she beca!
If a person was shaped by all the events he or she encountered throughout the entire life, then the trail of Mary’s life was clear at a glance.
The apprentice career of Mary which was worth ntioning had all started because of that magical experint. Before she beca a vampire, there wasn’t anything significant in her life. But once she beca a vampire, she started to soar high up into the sky, taking a leap, jumping from a Beginner to an Advanced Apprentice, and eventually giving her all the glory of becoming a Pseudo-Adept later.
Therefore, the event that changed Mary’s life was that bizarre magical experint carried out by Adept Anderson!
From this information she obtained, Alice could clearly see the pattern of developnt for Mary, and according to Mary’s behavior, she could also have an estimation of the potential height Mary would attain in her life. Everything was so vivid and straightforward!
Yet, when applying this theory on Greem, it just didn’t make any sense!
The turning point in Greem’s life happened almost at the sa ti as Mary’s. It was as if he suddenly possessed so kind of mystical power overnight. This had led Alice to suspect, could it be at the sa ti that Adept Anderson was carrying out an experint on Mary, he too had done sothing to Greem? Or else, his transformation in the later stage was simply incredible!
Within the period of mission that lasted for three months, he had grown into an Advanced Apprentice from a re Beginner Apprentice, and even skipped the stage of Interdiate Apprentice. The secret to all his victories laid on the powerful elent golems. As for himself, it was obvious that he took the path of an Elent Adept.
With regard to those elent golems owned by Greem, they were still fresh in Alice’s mory. As both her miserable defeats were all caused by those hateful elent golems!
Of sufficient numbers, great variety, and each was extrely powerful and well-directed!
This was the personal review Alice had for these elent golems.
By right, for golems such as these, if they were controlled using the thod of Elental Summoning, not only it would require a special magical ceremony, the summoners himself also had to bear a trendous burden on his Spirit. It would never be like Greem’s case, where he had handled them with such composure and ease.
Alice also noticed, every ti when Greem summoned his elent golems, he would need an elent core as the magical material, and the surface of the crystal core was always fully engraved with runes, portraying the look of going through a thorough modification. With this finding, she drew a conclusion that the deepest secret of Greem’s mightiness must be hiding inside of these crystal cores.
Because of this, she had the intention of getting closer to Greem, so she could find out more answers from him to uncover his secret. But too bad that Greem was a nerd who rarely left his room, this had made her, the nominal servant-girl of his, beca totally unused.
As a result, after holding herself patiently for seven days, Alice snatched over the al plate from Snorlax, took its place and stood in front of the door to Greem’s residence. That hateful Mary was the only person who could freely enter Greem’s residence, even Snorlax had to obtain Greem’s permission every ti before delivering the al to him.
Not long after that, Greem sensed Alice’s spiritual ripple, and he finally disard the defense chanism on the door.
Alice stretched her arm and pushed open the door and strode into the residence, carrying the al plate.
The room was still as simple and crude as before.
Yet, compared to the last ti, it had beco even ssier!
Though it was dayti, the illuminating crystal placed on top of the wooden table still shone with a bright and soft light. This made Alice puzzled, could this guy have been working since last night, without resting during the course?
The floor was fully filled with scrapped goat-skin scrolls, so were curled up, so were spread out, and so were crumbled into small balls... each of them had extrely complicated runes and mysterious magical arrays drawn on them. As Alice didn’t have any knowledge of magical arrays, hence, she felt a headache upon looking at this mysterious knowledge which required a professional to understand it.
Walking on her tiptoes, Alice carefully skipped over the ss on the floor and ca in front of the wooden table.
The wooden table was also ssy like the floor, books were opened and placed all over the tabletop, stacking on top of each other and nearly flooding the entire table. Greem was now leaning against the table silently, using a pen brush to draw sothing on a goat-skin paper.
But obviously, his progress wasn’t smooth.
Half-way through the drawing, he brought the goat-skin paper in front of his face and gave it a careful examination. Soon, he shook his head, cursing under his breath and crumbled the paper into a small ball, and tossed it over his shoulder.
Alice tilted her head so she could dodge the paper ball that had ca to her face. Angrily, she placed the al tray on top of the table with a rather strong force. Due to her ‘carelessness’, the tall stack of books had finally collapsed with a loud noise.
Ugh... What was going on?
Greem raised his head, confusingly, and ran his eyes around. His sulky eyes were imdiately t with the vision of Alice, who was looking at him in a provoking manner.
“Eh? When did you co here?” Greem rubbed his forehead, as he felt a prickle in his brain.
Since his overall strength skyrocketed, Greem had discovered many benefits brought by a high Physique.
He had been awake for three days and three nights. If it was in the past, perhaps he would have been extrely exhausted by now. However, besides feeling a slight tiredness from consuming too much of his Spirit, his body was as healthy and vigorous as it was three days ago.
“The purpose I ca here today is to ask you a question: what are you going to do with ? Are you going to let live like I am now, spending all my days boringly strolling around in this filthy and broken place? The magical facilities here are just too obsolete and behind on tis, compared to other places, this place is simply a desolate desert of the Adept World!” Alice stood with arms akimbo, complaining angrily at Greem.
One could tell that she had had enough of staying in this Swampy Tower.
She couldn’t find any higher grade magical potions, she couldn’t enjoy a slightly normal delicacy, she couldn’t obtain any of the advanced magical materials required for her magical experints, and her residence was simply like a sheep pen... In this backward and dilapidated place, Alice just couldn’t imagine how Greem and the others managed to survive!
If not because of those rchants or associations who recently ca into this place, bringing so changes to the Swampy Tower, Alice felt like she was going to rot in this dark and wet Magical Swamp.
Faced with a hard working ‘subordinate’ who took the initiative and to co to him for work, a gratifying smile erged on Greem’s face. He casually took a white bread from the al tray and placed it into Alice’s hand, and said with a smile on his face, “If you want to find sothing to do, why don’t you show your abilities first? Can you toss this thing over at Snorlax’s head?”
Right after he finished his words, the white bread in Alice’s hands had disappeared.
She clapped her palms and rubbed off the bread crumbs, throwing a disdainful gaze over at Greem and portrayed a look of ‘just try ’.
Greem opened his mouth slightly out of surprise.
He quickly readjusted his ntality, picked up another piece of bread and placed into Alice’s hand. This ti, he snapped his fingers and activated all the defense chanisms of this magical residence.
Alice curled up her lips in disdain, grabbing the bread with both hands and gave it a rub. A strange spatial ripple was sensed in the air, before the bread disappeared once again.
Greem’s expression beca even more dignified.
After he gave the last piece of bread over to Alice, not only had Greem activated every single defense chanisms of his magical residence, he also focused his mind and unleashed a light red force field that covered the entire room.
Right now, Alice was residing within four layers of elent defense or magical force fields, if she could still...
But too bad, before the thought could fully form in Greem’s mind, he saw Alice waved one of her hands, as a small spatial black hole erged in front of her. After that, she quickly stretched the other hand with the bread into the black hole. When she finally pulled her hand out, there was nothing left in her palm.
anwhile, the spatial black hole had disappeared instantly!
