Age of Adepts
chapter-41

Several hours later, when Greem exuberantly rushed back to his room, he found an Apprentice Adept was waiting for him.

To his surprise, after putting out the ‘item for sell’ notice, the first person who came to see him was actually Anm, the administrator of the Magic Practice Room. Though Greem barely had contact with anyone, he had heard that this Anm hadn’t managed to squeeze himself into the ten man list for the mission of guarding the Swamp Tower.

This also meant Anm, who was an Intermediate Apprentice, had to face the risks brought to him by the approaching compulsory missions.

“I heard you have an egg of a Giant Lizard in your possession?” Upon meeting Greem, Anm didn’t hide his objective of being here. As the clock was ticking, all beginner and intermediate Apprentices were filled with a sense of crisis, thus they were seizing every second they had to strengthen themselves. As a result, the items which were very useful for small scale battles between Apprentices, such as potions and scrolls, had their prices skyrocket. They were so expensive that even the richest Apprentices felt a heartache when purchasing them.

But this was not a bad thing either.

From the ‘blackmarket’ list provided by Danny, Greem saw many rare materials that he could hardly find during normal times. These items were definitely the treasures of other Apprentices, many of which had been set aside to be used when they broke through to the next level in the future.

But too bad… due to this compulsory mission, which was a matter of life and death, they were forced to give up their futures, selling these treasures in exchange for items that would instantly increase their combat abilities.
