Chapter 59
Built by the Zhentarim Association, the Adept Tower garrisoned in the Underground Cave was considered a small one. It had seven floors aboveground and two floors below, making it a building that consisted of nine floors.
It’s worth noting that the structure of the building was also similar to the Swamp Tower which Greem had stayed before.
The first to third floors above the ground was a public area. They were open to all apprentice Adepts, functioning as the main area of activity for them. The public facilities available for them covered nearly every field of study an apprentice could ever be involved in. On the other hand, the fourth to seventh floors were only available to official Adepts, serving as their living quarters and a site for experimentations. If any apprentice intruded in these places without special permission, they would be mercilessly attacked by the defensive mechanisms of the Adept Tower.
Currently, Greem was out on a stroll around the public hall located on the first floor of the tower.
Unlike Swamp Tower, the Underground Cave was an open territory, allowing apprentice Adepts to form their own items to visit different areas in search of materials and harvest resources. That’s why the materials and resources available in this place was many times more abundant compared to the Swamp Tower.
In addition to the gloomy and dark underground world, there’s also the resource-rich Kerala Mountain Range in the surface. Within the confines of these steep mountains, countless exotic flowers and rare herbs can be found growing healthily. While numerous powerful magic creatures were hiding in their respective nests deep within mountains.
Actually, the surrounding area of the Underground Cave was perfectly suitable in nurturing apprentice Adepts.
For beginner apprentices, they could team up together and venture into the wild forest around the Adept Tower to harvest the resources they need. They could even practice their magic spells while they were at it at the animals that can be commonly found in the woods. Intermediate apprentices could venture deeper, able to set foot into the depths of the mountain range and go for solitary training. As for advanced apprentices, they could journey to the upper regions of the underground world, fighting Ratmen, Hooked Horrors and many more undead creatures.
“Sam, can you let me have a look at those earrings?”
“This… the muscles on the fatty’ face twitched as he showed a look of wanting to give himself two slaps on his face.
In the end, he had no choice but to helplessly open his palm revealing the beautifully crafted earrings in front of this female apprentice.
Curious, this female intermediate apprentice picked up the pair of magical earrings and examined it. After that, a pleasantly surprised expression was portrayed on her face. Under her skillful control, a bright green glow quickly and flashily emitted from this seemingly unimportant looking magical item. A faint fragrance of vegetation spread out and filled the surrounding air.
A series of gasping sounds could be heard.
“There really was a pair of Recovery Earrings!”
“Heavens! Someone is selling a tier-3 magical item in the main hall…”
“No way! I have to inform Lina quickly! She had always wanted a pair of Recovery Earrings!”
“You’re right! I have to inform my boss too…”
“…”
Within the crowd, many people hastily took out strange looking communication devices. In an instant, sounds of frogs croaking, birds chirping, insects calling, wolf howling… all kinds of weird animal noises reverberated in the entirety of the main hall.
