Between apprentices and wizards, basic will runes need to meditate in the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness.

There are 16 basic will runes in total, and the apprenticeship period is also divided according to the number of runes produced by meditation. It is roughly divided into five stages: elementary (0-3), lower (4-6), medium (7-9), advanced (10-12), peak (13-16), and five stages.

When the apprentice meditates 1 rune, you can start learning spells. There are 3 spells that a junior apprentice can learn, and there are no more than 20 spells that can be mastered throughout the apprenticeship period.

Three months later, the Tower of Shadows, the Swamp Wetlands.

"Clang! Clang!" The sound of metal intertwining echoed.

In the forest, a man and a beast are fighting fiercely.

It was a black-haired boy, and his opponent was a fire-kissing forest python with thick thighs.

The cross sword drew through the red scales and pulled out wounds. The painful fire-kissing python twisted the snake's tail and pulled towards Heath, while opening its huge mouth and spewing out a series of fire lines at him.

After nearly ten minutes of fighting, Heath finally got the chance and jumped to the top of the fire-kissing giant python. The black dragon pierced his jaw through his jaw and nailed it to the ground.

The big body of the fire kissed python struggled and twisted wildly for a while, then there was no sound.

"Huh!" Heath gasped after rubbing the blood on his cheeks.

"It's worthy of being a level 0 medium-level demonized beast, it's true that it's a two-way move!"

After coming to the Tower of Shadow, Heath also gained a more detailed understanding of the grading of the demonized beasts.

According to the level, it is divided into levels 0 to 9, and each level is roughly divided into five stages, such as the apprenticeship period, namely elementary, low, medium, high, peak, and five stages.

The comparison of strength is also comparable to that of apprentices. Level 0 medium is equivalent to that of apprentices, which is much stronger than the higher demonized beasts in Ike Continent.

After a while of rest, Heath walked forward and placed one hand on the cold corpse of the fire-kissing giant python.

"extract."

"Drip, the extraction is successful, mental power +0.02."

Attributes: Strength 13.2, Agility 13.6, Physical 12.8, Spirit 2.9.

Heath's gaze swept across the attribute list, and his gaze finally stayed on mental power 2.9.

This is the result of his efforts over the past three months. He also meditated three will runes in the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness, reaching the peak of elementary level, and is only a thread away from the lower apprenticeship.

‘If there are two or three demonized beasts, you should be able to advance to a low-level apprentice.’

Heath silently looked forward.

Immediately, he took out the dagger and dug out the two fangs of the Fire Kiss Python and its heart. This is the most valuable part of the Fire Kiss Python. It can be sold for 5 or 6 magic stones in total.

As for the remaining huge body, it was worthless. Heath gave it to other demonized beasts in the swamp as food.

Immediately, he stood up and continued to look for other targets, preparing to break through the shackles of low-level apprentices in one go.

After exploring for a few minutes, Heath found a secretion left by a gray lizard on the ground. This demonized beast is on the same level as the Fire Kiss Python, and is also mentally oriented, making it very easy to extract mental power.

Heath was planning to track it, but at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps not far away, and there could be vaguely heard of speech.

‘Someone?’

Heath immediately jumped onto a thick tree next to him and hid his figure through the dense branches.

There are no detection spells arranged by wizards in the swamp wetland area, and they are places where wizards cannot monitor it. In addition, they meet with other wizard organizations. It is not safe to get mixed up with fish and dragons. Apprentices have disappeared here all year round.

In a short while, two men came over with a girl.

The two men were in their twenties, wearing apprentice cloaks from the Tower of Shadows, while the girl they carried was 15 or 6 years old, naked and staring wide as if she had died.

Seeing these two male apprentices, Heath couldn't help but frown.

He knew these two, and their names were Brothers Grimm, and they were very disgusting brothers.

The two walked to the swamp and threw the girl's body into a swamp, while laughing unscrupulously.

"Haha, this little silly girl, I really thought we would let her go."

"Isn't it? The moment I strangled her to death was so cool."

"Ah? Is that right? I'll try to find another female apprentice."

The two left with laughter.

After the two of them walked away, Heath came down from the trunk. He glanced at the girl who was slowly sinking in the swamp, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Scum."

The Grimm brothers were definitely notorious among the apprentices. They joined Gaota several years earlier than Heath and the others. Because a formal apprentice was of the same clan as them, the two climbed to this thigh through this relationship.

After that, the two of them began to do whatever they wanted in the tower, extorting, blackmailing, and forcing the female apprentice to have sex, and do whatever they want.

The difference between formal apprentices and informal apprentices here is very big.

The informal apprentice tower basically doesn’t care, and the wizard himself stands behind the formal apprentice, which shows their energy.

Seeing the girl's wide open eyes still had fear and disbelief, she probably died and didn't expect that these two brothers would really kill her. To be honest, Heath was also a little surprised.

Gaota strictly prohibits the apprentice from killing each other. He felt that no matter how crazy the two of them were, they would not touch the bottom line, but they did it anyway. And... Judging from this familiar situation, it is obviously not once or twice...

‘It seems that you should be more cautious in the future...’

Heath silently reminded himself.

Then he walked forward, put his palm on the girl's cold body, and silently recited in his heart: Extract.

"Drip, the extraction is successful, mental power +0.03."

Just as the sound rang, the 2.9, which had been paused on the data list for a long time, changed again, and was replaced by the number 3.

At the same time, a pure energy surged into the spiritual sea of ​​consciousness. Under the sweeping of this energy, a mysterious character with gloss and shining luster slowly emerged from the spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.

The shackles of primary apprentices are broken at this moment and have officially entered the lower stage.

"I thought at least two or three monsters would have to break through, but I didn't expect it to be ahead of time!" Heath was very happy.

The extraction is still continuing.

After the prompt sound of mental power improvement sounded, a prompt sound followed.

"Drip, extracted successfully, wizard talent +1, current wizard talent: 2, rating: low level."

The talent has also improved!

"This is really a double happiness!".

Then, he raised his hand and stroked the girl's cheek, closed his open eyelids, and comforted him: "Go with peace of mind, if you have the chance in the future, I will help you get revenge."

The girl's body quickly sank into the swamp.

Heath then left the swamp wetland and returned to the tower.

Back at the Tower of Shadows, Heath walked radially towards the trading area and prepared to buy his first spell model.

The apprentice meditated on a character to learn spells, but because he didn't want to be too swagger, Heath kept suppressing the urge to taste the fun of spells and was reluctant to learn spells.

But now Heath feels it's time. Three of the apprentices of the same period have meditated on the first character to learn spells. It's not too eye-catching to buy models to learn spells.

After coming to the spell sales area, Heath was about to go in and choose the spell that suits him, but at this moment, a shout rang out in his ears.

"Heath!"

Heath turned his head and saw a dark-skinned and ordinary-looking male apprentice approaching him, one of Weasley's apprentices of the same age as him.

Weasley was surrounded by two beautiful female apprentices, both of whom were of the same age as him, one was named Jenny and the other was named Jasmine.

After the three of them came over and saluted each other, Weasley said, "Are you here to buy spell models? So, have you also meditated on runes?"

Heath nodded: "Just a while ago."

It was obvious that Jenny and Jasmine's eyes were suddenly hot when they looked at Heath.

Weasley said: "Congratulations, I just meditated on the runes. Now five of us have meditated on the runes at the same time."

After a pause, he smiled and said, "Haha, we were just guessing who will be the next person who meditated on the runes. Jenny and Molly both guessed it was Duncan, but I just thought it would be you. After all, you worked so hard, there is no reason not to you."

Heath said: "Is that so? Thank you."

Jenny explained in a weird way: "I guess it's Heath's, okay? I guess Duncan's because of Jasmine."

Jasmine rolled her eyes: "Stop, you obviously asked to guess Duncan first."

The two of them had an inexplicable argument.

Weasley said: "Jenny and Jasmine accompanied me to buy spell models. We agreed to have a day off and we all eat something in the house and play cards. Are you going to come?"

After a pause, he asked the two girls again, "I don't have any objection to invite Heath to participate together, right?"

Jenny said with a flushed cheek: "What are the opinions you can have when playing cards?"

Jasmine didn't speak, but her expression also defaulted.

Weasley couldn't help laughing, blinking at Heath and said, "I promise you won't be disappointed, how about it?"
