Wizard's Journey

Chapter 615 The Foundation of the Academy

"Gagaga, young master, you're back!"

The magical barrier on the first floor of the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizard Tower had already broken through Grimm's apparent invisibility robe. Of course, for Xiao Ba, with his talent of interconnected spacetime coordinates, Grimm had no invisibility whatsoever.

"Who is this little guy?"

Xiao Ba looked at Nigra in surprise. At this moment, Nigra was looking around with great curiosity at the busy scene of wizards coming and going in the combat command center on the 90th floor of the Wizard Tower. Such a high-level Wizard Tower had only appeared in Nigra's imagination before. Now, he was able to enter it in person under the guidance of Instructor Green. Everything was like a dream.

In the twenty years since entering the academy, Nigra has seen fewer than a tenth of the wizards he has now.

Moreover, even when you meet some formal wizards who give lectures, they are mostly aloof and mysterious, seemingly unwilling to have much contact with wizard apprentices, as if talking to them is a waste of their precious time.

When will I be able to become one of them?

The feeling of being above all the wizarding apprentices in the academy...

Nigra, lost in thought, was interrupted by Hachi. Seeing a beautiful, glossy-feathered "parrot" perched on Instructor Green's shoulder, Nigra knew it was Instructor Green's soulmate. She quickly ran after it, bowing respectfully to Hachi, saying, "I am Nigra. I was just rescued by Instructor Green. We've met..."

"Just call me Eighth Master. The little guy is quite lucky, haha, he actually got saved by my young master."

Xiao Ba smiled, making Nigra nod and smile in return.

Nigra followed behind Instructor Green, with first-level and second-level wizards constantly brushing past him, nodding and bowing to him from time to time, as if Instructor Green held extremely high prestige among the wizards in the academy.

This made Nigra, who was behind Green, feel an indescribable sense of pride and honor.

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump.

Leaning on his ram-horned skull magic staff, Grimm walked step by step to a level three archmage who was constantly directing the combat wizards. This man was Peranos, whose crystal ball floated in mid-air, with several unfamiliar level three archmage deans beside him.

"You're back. How did the mission go?"

Peranos glanced at Green briefly before plunging back into the intense work of commanding the wizards. A large amount of intelligence information kept pouring out of the crystal ball, and a drop of sweat dripped from his grotesque, ball-like face.

"Mission accomplished. Target eliminated."

Green's words were low and calm, as if he were stating something obvious. Peranos nodded, as if everything was as expected, and stopped paying attention to Green.

"You don't need to worry about the rest. Just conserve your strength. In a few days, I'll plan a mission for you in this city. At that time, try to recruit as many new wizard apprentices as possible into the academy."

Peranos pointed to a city near the Nine-Headed Wrath Academy on the map.

"Ling Weicheng?"

Lingwei City was the city that competed most fiercely with Mothfrog City when Green was the city lord. Now, it is considered a relatively top-tier small-to-medium-sized city among the three types of cities near the Nine-Headed Wrath Academy.

Of course, it is far from the city of Moth Frog, which has already developed into a first-class metropolis.

"Yes, it's this city. There are several noble families that have always been loyal to the academy. Once you take control of the city, the wizard apprentices who enter to fight will receive support from the corresponding knight legions."

Green nodded.

After that, Green turned around and beckoned Nigra to his side, then said to Peranos, "Mentor, this child has some special talent in potion formulation and should have a bright future. I'd like to introduce him to an academy mentor. Which academy dean do you think would be suitable?"

Nigra stood beside Green, looking at the Level 3 Archmage whose face was contorted with rage, as if a ball had been sewn together. He was extremely nervous and a little scared, and swallowed hard.

Is this the dean of the academy? This is the first time I've ever seen the dean of the Nine-Headed Wrath Academy. He's so ferocious and terrifying.

Peranos glanced at Nigra and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh? You have special potion abilities?"

After thinking for a moment, Peranos said to Green in a low voice, "Let him go with you to complete this mission first. Even the best medicine can't prevent someone from fighting and surviving the war, so he won't have a chance to stand out in the Holy Tower Qualification Battle. Except in very rare cases, no Dean would be willing to take on such a disciple."

Peranos didn't even ask what this so-called potion was, but instead immediately placed Nigra under Green's command, to complete the test of recruiting wizard apprentices together ten days later.

"it is good."

Green nodded and was about to turn and leave when suddenly there was a loud "boom" and the entire wizard tower shook. Many wizards in the hall changed their expressions and dozens of arcane wizards who were waiting rushed out of the wizard tower.

"Young Master, the fleshy monster from that magic circle has materialized!"

Outside the Wizard Tower, over a hundred wizards from the Shadow Thousand Eyes Academy poured their blood and bones into the giant magic circle. After the ominous magic suppressed by the magic circle was continuously combined and activated, a twisted and ferocious monster seventy or eighty meters long slowly stood up. Countless heads were combined into a sphere, howling all of them.

The monster's incredibly thick tail accidentally struck the wizard tower's magic shield during its battle with the nine-headed serpent elemental shadow, causing the tremor just now.

"tutor!"

Green looked at Peranos with concern, but Peranos waved his hand dismissively, indicating that Green could leave.

"Don't worry, we've already fought them twice, and we know each other's strengths and weaknesses. Although the Nine-Headed Wrath Academy's resources are far inferior to theirs, they are by no means easy to defeat. With the source of magic supporting the Nine-Headed Serpent Elemental Shadow, they will give up their attack again in three days at most."

As Peranos spoke, a mechanical door suddenly opened with a "click" from the top of the hall, revealing a beautiful mechanical puppet made of an unknown material that seemed to be crystal clear. It was as beautiful as ice crystal and formed the image of a witch.

"A queen-level mechanical puppet!"

Green muttered in astonishment, and the other wizards also turned their gazes over. Upon seeing the queen ant-class mechanical puppet, they couldn't help but show a sense of relief.

Beside Peranos, several level-three archmages took to the air, following the queen ant-class mechanical puppet as it rushed out of the wizard tower.

But that wasn't all. Under Peranos's instructions, the large magic circle inside the wizard tower began to generate a wide-ranging magical wave, seemingly trying to connect with the wizard tower's magical source to unleash several powerful spells.

Green breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizard Academy was at a significant disadvantage, the Wizard Tower was not something the enemy could easily conquer in a short time. With that, Green was relieved and turned to leave with Nigra and Little Eight on his shoulder.
