Age of Adepts

The Lance Plane, the Eternal Capital.

The milky white light within the teleportation array slowly dissipated, finally revealing the dozen or so tall figures that stood pinned within it.

The transmission array was built on top of a tall and magnificent steel tower, completely protected by a steel temple. Through the narrow windows on all sides, one could have an unobstructed view of the towering vault of the Lance Position, as well as the azure sky and the cotton candy-like fluffy white clouds.

The air was filled with an air of freedom and relaxation!

Unable to endure the yearning of his body and mind any longer, Ames strode out of the Hall of Steel, shook itself back to its giant dragon form, and took to the sky with a roar. Behind it, eight different colored dragons also roared together and soared into the sky.

Leaving the Landside for eight long years had also made these giant dragons about to suffocate.

In the Lance Dimension, they were the heavens, they were gods, they were the masters of everything in the heavens and earth!

They are free to soar in the blue sky, scattering the mole crickets underneath them with their fearsome dragon power. They are free to lower their bodies to the ground, enjoy the food of the world, and plunder the beauty and wealth of their favorite foreigners.

But in the world of wizards, it was not the dragons that ruled there, but the wizards....

In that eerie and strange world, a dragon has to stay coiled, a tiger has to lie down, and keeping a low profile is the only way to stay alive in the long run. If a high-ranking sorcerer is too arrogant, the sorcerer world is full of terrifying and powerful people who can kill them!

This was a particular problem for Ames, who was used to being a free spirit.

In the past eight years, he had almost never soared freely in the sky, and his normal activities were limited to the hundreds of miles of forest surrounding the White Tower. Once it was out of the protection of the White Tower, its life would be in jeopardy.

Therefore, after suddenly returning to the Lance Seat, Ames, Eretina, and those green dragons were all extremely excited and began to toss and turn in the sky like a happy man.

For a time, the dragon chants in the sky above the Eternal Capital were incessant and majestic, making the entire Iron City lively and noisy.

The appearance of such a large group of dragons did not disturb the endless flow of people in the Iron City. The natives of the Lanshi plane of different colors and races stopped in their tracks, looking up at the dragons hovering and dancing in the sky, and then continued their journey without a care in the world.

As the half master of the Eternal Capital, Fractal Brain Grew was already waiting in front of the teleportation formation.

Seeing Grim, who was dressed in a large red witch's robe and had a powerful magical scent swirling around him, it was finally convinced of those 'rumors' and couldn't help but flatter him, "Welcome, esteemed Grim Master!"

Grim lightly swept a glance at Grue, and from its words to its demeanor, a hint of caution could be perceived, and its words were devoid of the oily and frivolous nature of the past.

It seemed that these aliens still liked to treat people differently based on their individual strength.

In the past, Grim drove the 3rd order brain monster with 2nd order, and the other party's various shirking and retardation need not be detailed. Every now and then, Grim would need to prune the evil branches in the opponent's brain that shouldn't be there.

But now with Grim's advancement to the 3rd level, there was an immediate 180-degree change in the attitude of the split-brain Grue. That 'Master', for the first time, allowed Grim to perceive a hint of sincerity!

Grim stepped out of the Steel Hall in faith and arrived at the edge of the giant tower, slowly sweeping the steel city below him.

To be honest, under the influence of his previous thoughts, this Eternal Capital created by Ghazluvi was getting closer and closer to the Steel City in Grim's mind.

The Steel Giant Tower was 700 meters tall, yet it wasn't the tallest building in the Steel Metropolis.

The entire Eternal City was built on a mountainous terrain, and all the buildings and facilities were made of special metals. The whole thing feels cold, gray and indestructible.

Inside the Eternal City was a towering steel tower, two miles thick, with a tapered top, hidden high above the clouds. And the rest of the buildings and facilities were like appendages attached to the steel giant tower, from which a strange branch and spike separated.

And the teleportation tower that Grim was in at the moment was one of them.

Inside the Eternal Capital Giant Tower, only magic weapons and sorcerers were allowed to enter and exit, and the rest of the indigenous forces that were attached to the Eternal Capital could only choose to build their thatched huts or various strange dwellings at the base of the Steel Giant Tower.

Looking down from a height of seven hundred meters, Grim even saw a strange swampy jungle nearby, where hundreds of swamp creatures lived as well.

"What's that?" Grim couldn't help but ask questions.

"Back to the master, that's where the wetland lizards live!" As a half-master, Gru naturally knows everything around the Eternal Capital like the back of his hand: "Originally, I planned to let them stay in the Eternal Capital, but they can't live without the moist swamp. "

Grim nodded silently.

With his extraordinary vision, he also saw a large forge built by Highland Dwarves near the Eternal Capital, the unique lighthouse insect nest of Swamp Flies, the tall nest of Ripeng on top of a small hill in the distance... Grim even saw a large area of deep, dark mist in one corner, which also seemed to be infested with swarms of dark creatures.

It could be seen that after all these years of recuperation, the Eternal Capital had completely dominated the surrounding territories, and there was still a conscious effort to plan and manage the affiliated clans. In one way, this also reflected the greatest value of the Brain Monster Ghazluvi!

"How do you have control over these affiliated clans?" Grim continued to inquire.

"Big Man has mastered 'brainwashing' and is able to control the heads and cores of these clans with his mind powers, so there's no need to worry about their loyalty!"

Grue's answer was also a bit of a surprise to Grim.

Brainwashing? This should belong to a higher level skill in mind powers, right? By what means did that Ghazirovi get hold of it?

Seeming to see Grim's surprise, Grue explained briefly.

"Some years ago, Master Alice sent back a few heart-stealing demons from the Wizarding World..."

Before Grew finished his words, Grim instantly understood everything.

No wonder... Mind Snatchers were the multiverse's most renowned experts in mind powers.

They were hermaphroditic, powerful evil creatures that fed on the brains of intelligent beings, strengthening and growing themselves by sucking on their prey's ** and conscious mind cores. They have a humanoid body, but with a bizarre octopus-like head.

Their eyes are milky white without pupils, and near their mouths are four writhing tentacles, two long and two short. Their bodies are lavender in color, and their skin is as cold and rubbery as rubber, and covered with a layer of disgustingly weird mucus.

Heart Snatching Demons had almost no other special abilities besides their mind abilities. That's why they were also a terrifying race that played with their mind abilities to the extreme.

They were able to brainwash intelligent races with their mind abilities and make them become their faithful servants.

They were able to simulate all sorts of spell effects with their mind abilities, and were not affected by biological magic resistance.

Ordinary Mind Snatcher juveniles, also known as Spirit Suckers, start out as Tier 1 creatures. The adult Spirit Sucking Monsters could only be called Heart Snatchers, and were basically powerful individuals of 2nd or 3rd level.

The fact that Alice was able to capture a Heart Snatcher and give it to Ghazluvi is indeed a favorable response.

The 3rd stage brain monster Ghazluvi has a strange body and a frighteningly high strength, but doesn't have the individual combat power to match it. One of the main reasons was that the source of Ghazluvi's thoughts were, after all, weak gnomes, and even if he became a 3rd order brain monster, he would not be able to naturally master those powerful mind abilities.

So, Alice had really found a good teacher for Ghazluvi!

Just whether Gazluvi ate his opponent alive or just swallowed his opponent's a**, Grim would not know! Even if there was a chance, he didn't want to know.

That scene would have made someone spit out their next night meal!

Down the teleport tower, down a corridor that spiraled downward and through several spatial corridors before Grimm was led by Grue to the interior of the giant steel tower. The ones in charge of guarding and guarding here were heavily armed metal magic weapons, and judging by their shape and the magic weapons they were equipped with, it was clear that they were already much stronger than the magical archers and shield guards from before.

On them, Grim even saw the silhouettes of those 'Mechanical Gundams' from Earth's previous life!

And among this group of magic weapons, apart from the ordinary Tier 1 metal magic weapons, Grim also saw some exceptionally shaped and battle-hardened magic warriors. The metal armor on their bodies shone with a phosphorescent light, overflowing with a magical halo, and at a glance they were specially made magic alloys.

Such Magic Armored Warriors were already at the standard of 2nd rank creatures in terms of their basic battle strength, pulling them out would be an extremely terrifying team!

The explanation for them, as explained by Fractal Brain Grue, was that they were a group of combat-type magical weapons warriors made from a combination of magic iron alloy and magic power metal. They possessed the combat power of a rank 2 creature, and their number was around forty units.

Due to their sparse numbers, they couldn't be massed into formations, and were only responsible for protecting Brainsplitter Grew and some vital sectors inside the Steel Giant Tower. It was no wonder that Grim hadn't seen many of them along the way.

The place where Gazruvi and Grim met was in the middle of the Steel Giant Tower, which was also the core of the entire Eternal Capital.

Ghazluvi's brain, the size of a three-story building, was floating in a huge glass vessel, connected to the magical furnace beneath him through countless metal pipes. Every moment, a huge amount of magical energy was spurting out from the magical furnace and pouring into Ghazluvi's brain, which was then transported to every corner of the Eternal City through special pipes.

Here, Ghazluvi was the brain of the Eternal Capital, and the carrier of the Eternal Capital's vast energy!
