The Tower of Ruin

Chapter 53 The Ruined Tower (Part 1)

The next day, Green bought a large number of magic wands from the fat man, and even went to the wizard Xinruwu's hut on the third floor of Black Tower to buy several other elemental magic wands that the fat man did not have.

Back in the laboratory, in front of Green were ten basic elemental magic wands commonly used by wizard apprentices: fire, water, ice, wood, wind, thunder, earth, light, darkness, and life. Moreover, these magic wands all had a common feature: the sealed magical energy level was between 20 and 30.

In this way, aside from Mask of No Form being immune to energy attacks below 20 degrees, and Grimm avoiding channeling magic power to Mask of No Form, then all the excess energy attacks from the magic wand will be absorbed by Grimm.

However, even an attack below ten degrees could easily kill Green, whose constitution was only four. Therefore, Green had to hold a leaf of life in his mouth as a source of restorative energy to ensure his safety.

For energy attacks below ten degrees, the leaves of life can be reused multiple times.

Today, what Green needs to do is test what kind of food the snail's body most wants to replenish after it passively evolves its resistance to various elements.

This point must not be overlooked. If Green simply eats some food to satisfy his hunger, it will greatly slow down the passive evolutionary growth of his body. Therefore, this experiment is very necessary and is Green's last experiment before he studies with Peranos for a long time.

After being attacked by different elemental magics time and time again, Green's body was repaired by the energy of the Life Leaf. At the same time, the gadfly secreted a unique substance in his body, which promoted the improvement of Green's body's resistance to this element.

Gradually, Green made a list of the food needs that his body naturally reflected.

These food lists were all subconsciously selected by Green's body from the countless ingredients he had eaten, and Green was informed of these food needs through strong bodily signals.

Just like a person suddenly wants to eat certain fruits or vegetables, after Green's repeated experiments, his body will suddenly show a strong craving for certain foods.

Chewing on a piece of spare jerky to stave off hunger, Green frowned as he looked at the ingredient list he had compiled.

Other ingredients were fine, after all, Green was just a commoner before and had never eaten anything strange or good. His body could only respond to a few things. However, when testing his fire element resistance, the ingredients Green listed made him feel troubled.

Because the ingredient that Green wrote about was actually the clams!

This ingredient, which was called a rare delicacy by Lord Bisserl and Wizard Arowaws, was definitely not a common ingredient. At least, with the abilities of a wizard apprentice like Grimm, it would be impossible for him to obtain it easily in a short time.

After thinking for a moment, Green listed the second type of food he needed after his body's fire resistance was enhanced, and he also took out the black crystal ball that had been replaced.

A connection was established with a mark within the crystal ball, and soon, the other party responded.

"Hey, Green, you're the one who contacted me first today. Hmph, missed me, huh?"

With a soft, sweet voice, inside the crystal ball, Laffey whispered sweet nothings to the two of them. If anyone else were to see Laffey in this state, they would probably be glaring in disbelief.

Green smiled. In his own cabin, Green had no need to wear the Pale Mask, so Raffi could see Green's expression.

"Stop fooling around. I'm currently conducting an experiment, and in a couple of days I'll be going to study under Wizard Peranos for an extended period of time."

Raffi looked disappointed, gently brushing aside her smooth, short, dark brown hair on the right side to reveal a sparkling crescent-shaped earring. She put down the book in her hand and said indifferently, "So, what did you want to see me about?"

"I'd like to know where your father obtained the beauty shell? My current experiments require a large quantity of this material."

Green rubbed his dark circles and asked.

"That thing? I never concern myself with such matters, but if you really want a large quantity, you should post a bounty in the quest hall. With your magic stones, it shouldn't be a problem."

Inside the crystal ball, Raffi stretched, and it was clear that she had been studying the magic book in her hand for quite some time; she looked very tired.

"Oh, that works too."

Just as Green was about to disconnect the crystal ball, he inadvertently caught sight of Raffi stretching in a seductive pose, her incredibly full breasts seemingly right before his eyes. He couldn't help but swallow hard before changing his mind and saying, "Raffi."

"Um?"

Raffi's answer was unintentional.

"Um... I'll go to the quest lobby to finish my quests, then I'll come see you."

He mustered his courage and spoke in their coded language.

Raffi was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing, saying between laughs, "Honestly, you always make it sound like I'm about to molest you. It's rare for you to take the initiative like this. Come on, I'm waiting for you."

After saying that, Raffi severed the connection between the two through the crystal ball.

Somewhat embarrassed, Green was still a little unaccustomed to Raffi's bold flirting.

The Blacksor Tower Wizarding Academy was brightly lit at night. Grimm, wearing a pale mask, walked hurriedly. His body beneath the wide robes was silent and odorless, like a solitary ghost, full of mystery.

"what……"

A scream suddenly came from the yard next to Green. It was a woman's voice, as if she had seen something terrifying.

Not far ahead of Green were two wizard apprentices walking silently. They paused for a moment, then paid no attention and continued on their way.

Huff, huff...

A pale-faced witch apprentice ran out of the courtyard, panting heavily, and glanced back with lingering fear.

The witch apprentice glanced at Green again, forced an awkward smile, and then turned and left.

At that moment, Green remembered something and looked at the dilapidated and desolate water tower in the courtyard.

I remember when I first arrived at Blacksor Tower Wizarding Academy, Binghamson said that Blacksor Tower Wizarding Academy had two forbidden areas for newcomers.

One place is the desolate courtyard known as the Wizard Apprentice Arena, and the other is the dilapidated water tower in front of us, which is said to be haunted, according to Binghamson and many wizard apprentices.

Of course, the word "ghostly," which represents ignorance, stupidity, and backwardness, would never come from the mouth of a wizard's apprentice. Therefore, at most, it means that some strange and bizarre things happen here that even wizards cannot explain.

Curious, Green stopped and hesitated for a moment before heading toward the dilapidated water tower that almost every wizard apprentice in the courtyard knew about.

The air was thick with the smell of rotting, withered grass, taller than a person, covering the entire yard.

Strangely, the bright lights in the distance couldn't penetrate the courtyard, as if blocked by some hidden barrier, yet no energy fluctuations could be sensed.

At the same time, the surrounding sounds were excessively quiet. Not only could no sounds from outside the courtyard come in, but there was not a single sound inside the courtyard either. The chirping of insects was almost completely silenced. It was as if this place was a world that was isolated from the outside world and sealed away!

Ok?

Just now, Green had a vague feeling out of the corner of his eye that there seemed to be a pair of eerie green eyes watching him from behind the tall, withered grass. It felt like being watched by a cheetah in the dark, but when Green turned his head to look, he couldn't see anything at all.

Not only could they not see it, but even the scent from the hunter's nose and the ultrasonic magic of the pale mask failed to detect any trace of an abnormal life form.

It's already this weird before we even got into the water tower?

A mixture of surprise and fear gripped his heart. Faced with the unknown and advanced knowledge of witchcraft, Green stopped his irrational associations and slowly parted the weeds and dead branches blocking his path. The sound of his footsteps and the sound of parting the weeds became the only melody in the yard, and even in this terrifyingly silent yard, there was a sense of echo.

Once again, Greene vaguely sensed a pair of eerie green eyes behind the weeds beside him. Greene knew that even if he turned his head, he wouldn't see anything, so he simply ignored it and walked directly towards the dilapidated water tower in the center of the courtyard.

The water tower appears to have been there for many years. Excessive weathering has made it look dilapidated, with cracks resembling the claw marks of a monster, ugly and ferocious.

Standing beneath the water tower, Green looked up at the sky and saw that the dark sky was vaguely forming a vortex centered on the dilapidated water tower. He wondered what strange force had caused this phenomenon.

At the center of this blurry vortex, a narrow eye, barely open, seemed to be watching you from the sky, and the air was filled with oppression and fear.

"Hallucination? But the symbiotic worms are not abnormal."

Green stood there for a full half-hourglass time, looking up at the giant eye in the sky.

Similarly, the giant eye in the sky was also staring intently at Green, as if an enormous, exaggerated creature was looking at the insects inside the bottle through the bottle opening.

"No, it shouldn't actually exist. If such a powerful creature were to descend upon the Wizarding World, those ancient wizards would have already appeared. After all, the Wizarding World isn't some weak world; it's a super-powerful civilization that enslaves many surrounding worlds."

Thinking this, Green took a deep breath, then pushed open the dilapidated wooden door of the water tower with a creak and went inside.

The darkness inside the water tower completely engulfed Green's figure, as if Green had walked into the mouth of a monster.
