Chapter 325 New Mission
Aqila World.
The gloomy sky was dark, and the oppressive atmosphere made it almost impossible to breathe. As the lightning flashed, the sky was torn into white holes.
Crash!
The heavy rain poured down, like a waterfall hanging from the sky, crackling on the ground, splashing countless water.
Lital area.
Hundreds of thousands of humanoid creatures of various shapes were working hard in the rain as slaves of the wizard civilization. The surrounding extraordinary knights cracked their whips, and any slaves who slacked off would be severely punished.
Two months have passed since the Green Demons launched a large-scale attack.
The walls that had collapsed and destroyed before have been rebuilt at this moment, and they are taller and stronger, making the Lital area like a fortress.
The seventh tallest tower, 81 floors.
In the spacious laboratory, most of the space is occupied by a cultivation pool. In the green nutrient solution, a giant plant grows. Its shape is a little twisted, and its lush branches and vines spread to almost every corner of the laboratory, making it look like a small forest.
"There has been no action for two months. It seems that the last attack failed, and the native creatures of the Aqila world have also suffered a lot of losses!"
Enzo stood in the corner of the laboratory, looking through the glass window at the giant fortress wall outside the tower that has been basically completed, and sighed in his heart.
After the failure of the large-scale attack two months ago, the aliens in the Lital area seemed to fall into silence and never appeared in the tower again. It seems that they have suffered great damage from the war and entered a state of recuperation.
Then, Enzo turned away from the window and came to the cultivation pool in the center of the laboratory. He raised his head and looked at the artificial twisted tree in front of him.
"After two months, the experiment finally has some results..." Enzo muttered to himself.
In the cultivation pool filled with nutrient solution, the tentacle-like roots of the artificial twisted tree are constantly absorbing energy. Its trunk is unusually thick, and the dark green wrinkled bark on the surface is shining with a bewitching luster.
In the center of the trunk of the artificial twisted tree, in the green light ball like an embryo, there is also a life with a curled body.
It is a humanoid creature that is somewhat similar to a girl, with a soft and petite body, emerald-like skin, eyes closed as if sleeping, and a black mark like a shackle on the delicate forehead.
"Chip, how long will it take for the experiment to end?" Enzo ordered in his heart.
"Ding! Estimated time: 42 days."
In his mind, the chip gave an answer, and Enzo nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.
In the two-month experiment, Enzo used witchcraft knowledge to continuously absorb energy from the Son of the Forest to feed the twisted tree, and finally merged the two, making the Son of the Forest and the twisted tree a symbiotic organism.
This experimental method is very similar to the behavior of Gram Wizard. The only difference is that the former is a self-selection, while the latter is human interference.
"Only by using this method can the twisted tree derive wisdom and evolve towards a higher level of life!" Enzo's eyes flickered.
At this moment, his arms suddenly felt hot, and a wave of magic power spread slightly.
"Someone sent me a message?"
Enzo raised his eyebrows, took out the Magic Crow Badge from his arms, saw the message on it, and nodded slightly, "It turned out to be Gustav, but according to the time, the mission deadline is indeed approaching!"
"By the way, the chip! What is the resolution of the Green Demon language now?"
"Ding! The resolution of the Green Demon language is 100%."
In his mind, the chip gave an answer, Enzo nodded with satisfaction, and then put away the Magic Crow Badge.
Then, he left the laboratory.
Taking the elevator, Enzo came to the 99th floor of the tower, in Gustav's office.
"Teacher!" Enzo touched his chest and saluted.
"You're here, Enzo." Behind the huge desk, Gustav raised his head and smiled, "How is your learning of the Green Demon language going?"
"I have basically mastered it. Generally speaking, there is no problem communicating with the Green Demons." Enzo replied.
"That's good." Gustav nodded and said in a deep voice, "You should know what I want to ask you to do today."
"I understand. It's the task you mentioned before."
Enzo raised his head, thought for a moment, and said, "However, the specific things still require more detailed orders from the instructor."
Enzo had received the notice of the task the two talked about half a month ago.
After the failure of the alien attack two months ago, Wizard Herbert announced the decision of the academy's top management that the three major wizard organizations in the Dark Extreme Region will jointly develop the Aqila World.
In the next two months, the forces of [Skeleton Castle] and [Fang Blood Shadow] have successively descended on [Aqila World], and part of them have also been allocated to the Lital area where the seventh tower is located.
With enough mobile armed forces, the top management of the academy quickly decided to restart the development plan. The seventh tower in the Lital area also received a task and ordered them to send a wizard team to the adjacent sixth tower area to investigate intelligence.
The sixth tower is located south of the seventh tower and is one of the academy's original bases in the Aqila world, but it was broken by the aliens a year ago and completely fell.
The goal of the academy this time is to recapture the sixth tower occupied by the aliens and make it the base of wizard civilization again.
But before the plan can begin, the academy first needs to obtain the current basic information about the Sixth Tower area in order to formulate a plan to regain the Sixth Tower.
Because it is adjacent to the sixth tower, the task of investigating intelligence naturally falls on the wizards stationed in the seventh tower.
"According to currently known information, the Sixth Tower area is fully occupied by aliens, and at least 3 million Green Demons are active there."
Behind the desk, Gustav spoke slowly and said, "Furthermore, according to my guess, the parent body of the giant tree that was severely damaged by Crosno two months ago is probably also cultivating in the sixth tower area!"
"The parent body of the giant tree is also in the sixth tower?" Enzo frowned slightly.
"If nothing else, it should be like this." Gustav nodded and said solemnly: "After being severely injured by Crosno and the Infernal Bone Dragon two months ago, the giant tree's mother body fled towards the south. If it needs If I recover, I will definitely choose the Sixth Tower area.”
Enzo's eyes flickered and he was silent.
"The parent body of the giant tree is a third-level life, and it is a native creature of [Ai Qila World], so it must have extremely strong perception capabilities."
Gustav's face was solemn and he said slowly: "Therefore, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the giant tree mother body, we cannot send too strong force to the sixth tower area. The investigation team can only be composed of first-order wizards."
"I understand what you mean, mentor!" Enzo nodded.
The goal of the investigation mission is mainly to obtain information, so using too much power will easily attract attention. Therefore, it is best to form a team of first-order wizards to execute it.
"I'll give you this before the mission begins."
At this time, Gustave suddenly took out a green test tube from his arms and handed it to Enzo.
"What is this?" Enzo took the test tube and felt a powerful life energy from the green liquid inside.
"This thing is called [Forest Potion], it's Wizard Herbert's latest research!"
Gustav explained, "This potion has extremely strong healing power. For a first-level wizard, as long as he does not suffer immediate fatal damage, he can recover after taking it."
"So powerful?" Enzo's eyes lit up.
"Of course, the main raw material for preparing this [Forest Spirit Potion] is the spinal fluid extracted from the second-level life form Son of the Forest, and the production process is extremely difficult."
The corners of Gustav's lips raised, and he smiled and said, "Wizard Herbert has only prepared ten [Forest Spirit Potions] in total during this period. It took me some effort to get three from him."
"Thank you, mentor!"
Hearing that the [Forest Potion] was so precious, Enzo carefully put it away, and then sincerely thanked Gustave.
"It's nothing, this is what you deserve."
Gustav waved his hand and said softly, "In the last war, you guarded the north area of the tower. Such merit is enough to get a [Forest Potion]."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Come with me and I will take you to meet the other members of this investigation mission."
After that, Gustave stood up from his seat and walked out of the office, and Enzo quickly followed.
Taking the elevator, the two came to a hall on the 15th floor of the tower.
"Lord Gustav!"
After pushing open the two metal doors, the scene in the hall came into view. Around a round table, four wizards stood up and saluted Gustav.
"Evil insect?" Enzo's pupils shrank.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a familiar figure, wearing the [Skull Castle] standard wizard robe. It was the wandering wizard who used to be active in the Leighton Kingdom, the evil insect Black.
"It turns out he actually joined [Skull Castle]!"
Enzo's eyes flashed. When he was in Thunder City two years ago, the evil insect, who was originally a wandering wizard, behaved abnormally and attacked the floating ark belonging to [Phantom of Crows]. Now it seems that the other party must have been affected by [ Skeleton Castle] command.
"Long time no see, Sir Enzo."
At this time, a soft voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Enzo looked around and saw a girl wearing a red gauze skirt with a charming face.
"Lakasha?" Enzo's heart moved, and a figure overlapped with the girl appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Bloody witch, Lakasha!
When Enzo was still a second-level apprentice, he faced a strong enemy and was almost killed by him in the battle in the Skinning Woods.
And now, the other party has also been promoted to an official wizard!
"Hehe, I didn't expect Sir Enzo to still remember me, I'm so happy!" Lakasha raised her red lips, covered her mouth and chuckled.
Enzo smiled faintly and said nothing.
Although the two were enemies in the past, and the other party almost killed him, but now that the three major organizations have joined forces, there is no need to pursue the previous hatred too much.
What's more, Enzo didn't suffer at all at the beginning!
"Since you know each other, I don't need to introduce you."
Gustav walked into the hall, came to the front, looked at everyone, and said, "The mission of the five of you this time is to form a wizard team and go to the sixth tower area to investigate intelligence."
"The scroll recording the Green Demon language was issued half a month ago. With your talents, you should have fully mastered it by now, right?"
"Don't worry, Lord Gustave."
In the hall, a wizard wearing a white robe with a lightning symbol embroidered on his collar said, "The language of the green demon creatures only has two syllables. Even if it can express a thousand meanings, it is not difficult for us. "
The white-robed wizard is named Coron Kendi. He was born in the Kendi family of [Phantom of Crows]. He is a first-level conqueror wizard and the team leader of this investigation mission.
The investigation mission consists of a total of five people, including two from [Phantoms of Crows], two from [Fangs and Blood Shadows], and only one from [Skeleton Castle].
"That's good."
Gustav nodded and said solemnly: "The main goal of this mission is to go to the sixth tower area occupied by the Green Demon Tribe, collect intelligence information, and act as low-key as possible. Remember not to cause the giant tree matrix. attention and cause unnecessary trouble.”
"Yes, Lord Gustave!" Five wizards said in unison in the hall.
"Okay, you can set off."
Gustav looked serious and warned, "The commander of this mission is the wizard Coron. Everyone must listen to his orders. Anyone who violates them will be punished, no matter which organization you belong to."
"Understood!" X5.
After simply explaining the mission goal, Gustav turned and left. There were only five people left in the hall. The Corun wizard glanced at the other four people indifferently before he spoke.
"Now that everyone has formed a wizard team, let's introduce ourselves first."
"I'll go first, Colonn, a first-level conqueror wizard who is good at lightning elemental witchcraft. During the expedition battle of [Ekila World], he once resisted a second-level life form for three hours alone."
Corun's voice was indifferent, but there was a hint of pride in his tone. As a first-level conqueror wizard, he could stand alone against a second-level life form without dying. This was indeed a feat worth mentioning.
"Jie Jie, my name is Brian, and outsiders call me Xie Zhong. I am a first-order guardian wizard who is good at controlling insect creatures to fight." Then Xie Zhong also introduced himself.
"Lakasha, a first-level guardian wizard, currently has count-level vampire blood." Lakasha raised the corners of her lips and chuckled charmingly.
"Earl-level vampire bloodline?" Enzo's eyes flashed from the side.
According to the information recorded in the book, the blood levels of vampires are divided into five levels. They are arranged according to the ancient titles, namely duke, marquis, uncle, son, and baron. The higher the level of vampire blood, the higher the level. The possibilities are also greater.
It seems that the bloodline levels of the two leaders of [Fang Blood Shadow] are only at the marquis level.
And Lakasha's bloodline can actually reach the level of earl. It's no wonder that she can be promoted to an official wizard so quickly.
