Top-tier apprentice Witchcraft items range from five thousand to ten thousand jin sule in market price, with a relatively large price span. If it is a Witchcraft item with limited uses, the price can be even cheaper.
Just like the Guardian Veil that Richard-Eva borrowed from his family last time, it belongs to the category of top-tier apprentice Witchcraft items valued at around ten thousand jin sule. Its price is something that Jia Na absolutely cannot afford at present. "Hugh, you've said so much, surely you don't mean you want to take on this mission, do you?"
After listening to Hugh-Stone's speech, another female apprentice sitting behind him couldn't help but ask directly.
"I will definitely take on this mission. Such a large order is something you don't encounter even once a year."
After listening to Hugh-Stone's answer, everyone remained silent.
After all, the Dark Sun Church is notorious. Even if their strength has been greatly diminished, before the risks are fully assessed,
no one would easily step forward.
"What about Black Bone Forest and Mist Tower?"
After another moment of silence, Suo Luo-Lie Yan, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly asked.
"Those guys are always very active when it comes to fighting. Even if there's nothing going on, they'll stir something up. Not to mention, the reward this time is so generous, anyone would take a gamble."
Compared to comprehensive institutions like White Coral Academy, which lean towards the White Wizard style, pure Black Wizard organizations like Black Bone Forest and Mist Tower have extremely aggressive styles of action. In the face of absolute profit, no matter how great the risk, they dare to take a gamble.
Of course, it is also because the average combat power of Black Wizard Apprentices is relatively strong. Even if their academic foundation can't catch up to White Wizard Apprentices, they are most skilled at which Witchcraft is most convenient for killing.
"So, I want to ask everyone, is there anyone who wants to cooperate with me to take on this mission—"
Rumble—Before Hugh-Stone could finish speaking, a deafening roar, accompanied by a violent tremor, struck everyone. In just an instant, the tremor stopped, but the continuous roar still echoed in everyone's ears.
"What's going on? Is it an earthquake?"
"Everyone, return to your dormitories immediately—" Before everyone could recover from this sudden situation, the Tower Spirit's cold mechanical voice immediately echoed within the Magic Tower,
and forcibly interrupted the Bai Wu Xie Club's intelligence sharing meeting.
"The Tower Spirit has spoken, the meeting is disbanded!"
Hearing the Tower Spirit's command, Richard-Eva immediately ended the meeting. And the startled and uncertain crowd stopped talking, casting protective Witchcraft one after another, and quickly left the Magic Tower, returning to the apprentice dormitories, which were said to have the strongest defense.
"Miss Jia Na, you're finally back!"
"Door Spirit, what happened?"
Just as she reached the dormitory entrance, the Door Spirit, with an anxious look, immediately called out to Jia Na.
"Just now, Tower Spirit issued a notification saying that due to the earthquake, multiple spatial rifts have appeared in the Mist Forest. And it can be confirmed that these spatial rifts all lead to the Shadow World—"
Hearing this, Jia Na's tightly furrowed brow gradually relaxed instead.
"Okay, I understand. If there are any new updates, notify me at any time."
"Okay, Miss Jia Na!"
Closing the door, after returning to the dormitory, Jia Na did not immediately take off her Wizard equipment. Instead, she walked to the window, and accompanied by the afterglow of the setting sun, looked at the situation outside.
"I thought it was something else, turns out it's just the same old story—"
Since Jia Na enrolled in White Coral Academy, this is the third time that spatial rifts leading to the Shadow World have opened due to non-human factors.
Without exception, under the self-repair of the Main Material World, even the largest spatial rift will not last for more than a week. If you don't get close, these phenomena can be treated completely as a type of periodic "attraction" and will not cause disaster to the surrounding people.
However, the premise for all of this is that the different dimensional interface connected by the spatial rift must be a temporary "neighbor" that doesn't cause trouble. Otherwise, relatively tricky situations will still occur.
And as an old neighbor of the Main Material World, the Shadow World, communication between the two realms happens from time to time. If the spatial rift is not large, it doesn't matter. But once the rift expands to the point where creatures from the two realms can "travel" to each other, then it needs to be taken seriously.
Especially for those brainless and fearless Shadow Creatures in the Shadow World, such an opportunity is simply a great chance for their routine harassment. At the same time, it is also an opportunity for the Wizard organizations in the Wizard Gathering Places to seize the chance to collect shadow materials.
"Just after the Dark Sun Apostle descended, an earthquake happened right after. I wonder if there's a connection between the two—"
The next day, noon.
After the turmoil of yesterday, White Coral Academy reissued a notice. In the specific content of the notice, in addition to the regulation that apprentices are not allowed to leave the academy grounds without authorization in the next few days, daily classes will proceed as normal.
"Jia Na, did you hear? Black Bone Forest and Mist Tower have already uniformly assigned their apprentices the task of clearing out Shadow Creatures. Only our academy, even now, doesn't even let people go out—"
Listening to Vivian's rather indignant complaints beside her, Jia Na didn't feel much about it.
After all, White Coral Academy is famously "protective" of apprentices. Before ruling out fatal risks, it will not quickly align itself with the other two "neighbors."
"This is our academy's management style after all, but I guess in a few days, we will align ourselves with the other two Wizard organizations—after all, the duration of the spatial rift is not long."
"So annoying, I originally wanted to take this opportunity to try out my new Magic Wand properly."
"You changed Magic Wands again?"
"I didn't change it, I just had Tanuki Master help me upgrade it."
Saying that, Vivian took out the luxurious Magic Wand from her extradimensional space bracelet. It was as transparent as crystal and inlaid with a snowflake-shaped ice-blue gem at the top.
"The effect of magic power convergence has improved again. How about it, isn't it beautiful?"
"Yes, it's really quite good—"
This guy who makes people envious!
The afternoon class schedule was the Ancient Magic History class that was stopped halfway through yesterday. In a sleepy atmosphere, as one of the few who consistently followed Professor Wuta's explanation and took notes while listening, Jia Na found that Professor Wuta, who was always known for his detailed explanations, had simplified quite a bit of content today.
"Class dismissed."
"Goodbye, Professor Wuta—"
Putting away her textbook and giving her notes to Vivian, Jia Na directly took the book and prepared to go to the next classroom.
"Vivian, I have an elective class in a while, you don't have to wait for me."
"So late? Whose class is it?"
"The Principal's class."
