Chapter 260
Chapter 260 Experiment Collaborator
Feidnan City, Adepts’ Tower.
Greem met the five apprentices assigned to him in his room.
Two pseudo-adepts and three advanced apprentices. All of them were very young.
In general, anyone that could make it to a pseudo-adept or apprentice adept by fifty years old had the potential to become an adept. And these individuals were the ones the clan were willing to expend resources in order to cultivate! On the other hand, all of those apprentices that had made their way to advanced apprentices through grinding and time were well aware of their own situation. They knew it was virtually impossible for them to become adepts. All of them had already given up on that path and went on to the worldly realm to enjoy the offerings of local nobles.
There was one female each among the pseudo-adepts and advanced apprentices assigned to Greem. They were fairly pretty and beautiful. However, using his elementium sight, Greem could still see the light residue left on their faces from magical facial reconstruction.
The apprentice adepts bowed respectfully as they waited on Greem. They didn’t even dare to breathe too loud. It was clear that even they had heard of Greem’s terrifying name as the Flame Demon. However, one could tell from the excited gleam in their eyes that they were still extremely satisfied that they were able to become the disciples of the famed Flame Demon. Their excitement and joy was hard to hide.
No one knew why, but even the reckless Alice showed up for this meeting.
Toril rubbed his eyes, leaned against the scroll, and carefully read through every clause in it. After confirming that the content matched Greem’s words, he carefully left his emblem on the scroll.
The scroll crackled and disappeared in a whirlwind of fire.
“If there’s nothing else, you may leave. Toril. Make some preparations and come over at seven tonight!” Greem was in a very good mood, having found an experiment collaborator like he had wanted. Even his smile was wider than usual.
The apprentices bowed together and slowly left.
Alice’s rolled her eyes and quietly followed them out.
One hour later she returned triumphantly, like a little fox that managed to steal the chicken from the farmer.
“How was it?” Greem put down the book in his hands and asked lazily, “How many of them did you beat?”
“Five! All five of them got beaten up by me.” Alice spoke arrogantly and in disdain, “With what little prowess they had, I could take them on all at once!”
Greem frowned when he heard this, “You didn’t hurt that Toril, did you?”
“Of course not!” Alice had been in a good mood ever since she got a spacestone from Greem, “I know he still has a job to do tonight, so I only trapped him in my Spatial Prison. He surrendered after realizing he couldn’t do anything!”
“The others?” Greem asked curiously.
“I beat them black and blue! All of them are going back to treat their wounds.” Alice waved about a small fist like she was the queen of violence.
Greem tilted his head. He could totally imagine everyone’s helplessness before Alice’s impenetrable Spatial Barrier. Honestly, if it wasn’t for his powerful golems, Greem with just his fire affinity would have an impossibly hard time suppressing Alice.
With her unbelievably broken space affinity, Alice had unimaginable offense, defense, and mobility. Just these three were enough to make Alice nearly undefeatable against ordinary pseudo-adepts. They couldn’t beat her, nor could they even run from her.
People who battled with Alice were in for an experience of pain and agony!
…………
Dusk fell, and Toril had already appeared at Greem’s dwelling.
Greem’s task for him was extremely simple as well.
He gave him a knowledge crystal used to store Spirit. There were ten extremely unique magic runes hidden within the crystal. What Toril needed to do was to write out the runes one by one, and as he did so, he needed to record his experiences.
Greem had even set up a hidden room for this specific purpose, to have Toril finish this series of seemingly simple tasks. Of course, he had already hidden many monitoring crystals in every corner of the hidden room. These crystals would very clearly display Toril’s every action to Greem, who would be sitting in the room next to this one.
To encourage this advanced apprentice chosen to be his lab rat, Greem had even promised to provide Toril with three books related to potions studies.
Thus, Toril unhesitatingly walked into the room.
