Age of Adepts

Entovia.

As a large trading city, Entovia was well known throughout the Northlands.

With the Witch Tower at the heart of the city, there are trade districts and fine villas everywhere, and a constant stream of people traveling through the city.

Although the witches of the North are a bit too brutal, they are the best among all the witches in the North in terms of treating their people well.

Perhaps it was because of the harsh climate of the Northlands and the sparseness of the land, population was also a scarce resource here.

As a result, there were few incidents of mass killings in the entire Northlands, and disputes between witches rarely affected the commoners.

Entovia was a typical public city, not affiliated to any one witch faction, but rather a commercial capital managed by a council of witches. The witches in charge of maintaining order here are often required to treat each witch faction fairly, maintaining a neutral position at all times.

Alicia is a full-fledged witch belonging to the Council of Witches.

And now it was time for her to patrol the city.

Alicia straddled a flying broom and passed over the city in a leisurely manner.

Below her feet, a beautiful building rose high and low, and a street was crowded with people.

Crowds of carriages moved slowly through the crowds, and a laden wagon was stacked with a variety of goods.

At the sight of the witch passing overhead, one citizen took off his bowler hat and cheered enthusiastically at the sight of Aria. This showed that the local witch was indeed loved by her fellow citizens.

At this time of the day, Alicia needed to make a round of the business district in the east of the city. When she passed by the Biden Magic Cottage, she would pay a visit to her Aunt Fanny and sample some of her aunt's homemade honey cupcakes. Then she would fly to the Kento Flower Shop on the outskirts of town to bring back a foxtail flower for the dear Minnie Witch.

Most of the day for the rotating witch of the city of Entovia was leisurely and comfortable.

The city's order and laws are taken care of by the nobles and city guards appointed by those witches, who, in turn, only patrol and play around. Only when there was a major upheaval in the city that the city guard couldn't handle, they would appear as arbiters and administrators.

Thus, just as Alicia was straddling her flying broom and flying across the sky, thinking that today was another day of leisure and idleness, a sorcerous salute suddenly exploded in mid-air from the distant Palan District.

Huh, it was an alarm message from the City Guard!

Startled slightly, Alicia flicked her flying broom and flew swiftly over to where the salute had risen.

By the time Alicia arrived in the Palan district, two sisters had already arrived early.

They were riding on flying brooms and floating side by side over the streets, seemingly discussing something in a crossfire. Seeing Alicia's arrival, they gave her a slight jaw from afar.

The Palan District was a famous commercial district of Entovia City, and the street was densely packed with the shops of several large chambers of commerce, making it an area that the witches focused on.

Although Alicia had arrived late, floating in the air at 60 to 70 meters, she could still take in everything on the ground.

At this time, on the streets of the Palan District, in front of the Golden Bess Merchants, two teams were coldly facing each other. The City Guards who had heard the news were scattered around, and although they all had weapons in their hands, they did not dare to intervene in the argument between the two teams in front of them.

There could only be one kind of person who could make the Entovia City Guard not even dare to step forward to enforce the law, a witch!

As it was, though, Alicia's eyes swept over and saw seven or eight guys in witch costumes among the two teams facing each other. And through the logos on their chests, Aria quickly figured out their identities.

It was the Destiny Witch of the Dragonbone Wilderness and the Winter Witch of the Valley of Ice and Snow!

As soon as she saw it was them, Alicia's head buzzed and she instantly became a little headachey.

"Alicia, look..." one of the two witches who had arrived earlier flew up to Alicia, "They're making a scene here! Do we care or not?"

"How do you manage?" Alicia also laughed bitterly, "The fight between them was sanctioned by the Witch Council, and all the witch factions are not allowed to interfere until they've split their victories, and that includes us..."

"So let them make a scene here? This is the Palan district!"

"Make a scene...let them make a scene! Just let them pay for what they broke anyway...we'll just be careful not to let them accidentally injure civilians..."

"Well...that seems to be the only way!"

As soon as the three witches muttered, they quickly made up their minds.

Alicia was the oldest and strongest of the three, and thus flew first to the head of the two factions of witches.

The city guards gathered around the far side of the street breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the arrival of the rotating witches.

Although they were well-equipped and well-trained, they usually never showed any mercy when dealing with troublemakers. But when they were facing a group of witches, this group of city guards who were not afraid of anything couldn't help but shrink a little.

The witches who were coldly confronting each other on the street raised their heads and looked towards the witch Alicia who was floating in the air.

"This is Entovia City, if there is any conflict between your two factions, please go out of the city to resolve it without disturbing the order here!" Alicia was also doing her last-ditch effort.

"Well, they just insulted our chief by speaking out, and now they must apologize to us in person!" The leader of the Fate Witches' side was the Berserk Witch Sophia, and behind her, two young Fate Witches were following.

These two young Fate Witches were all fresh-faced, as if they had just been promoted not long ago, and were suddenly faced with a challenge from another faction, they seemed very nervous, and the wands in their hands were trembling slightly.

Across from them, there were four Winter Witches, one with a glittering and beautiful ice shield floating on her body, her eyes immersed in a containing but not revealing ice storm, looking at the three Fate Witches with a sneer.

Behind both sides, they were carrying more than a dozen Sorceress Apprentices and dozens of Sorceress Guards.

Looking at this appearance, it seemed that the two factions of witches had bumped into each other when they came to the Palan District to purchase items, and that was why the argument and confrontation in front of them occurred.

"Haha, if you want us to apologize, let's see if you have the strength..."

"That's right. It's been nearly a hundred years since your Fate Witch revival, and the fact that the entire faction is still three or two kittens speaks volumes about your leader's incompetence. If I were you guys, I would have long ago considered joining another faction..."

"With all of them, they dare to fight us Winter Witches? I'll teach you a hard lesson today..."

The situation at hand was clearly dominated by the Winter Witch line, so they didn't want to let go of the best opportunity to leap at the chance.

Seeing that her persuasion was of no use, Alicia could only shake her head helplessly and turn around to fly over the outer city guard.

"You guys don't just watch, send out people to evacuate the nearby crowd..."

"That... they..." one of the captains of the city guard troopers drawled.

"Don't worry about them, let them resolve the conflict on their own. Once they've sorted out the winners and losers, just feel free to ask the losers for compensation!"

As soon as he heard that such an unfortunate thing had fallen on his head, that captain's face immediately turned ugly.

Even if the two factions of witches in the arena were weak, the surface of their feet were raised higher than his head.

To be honest, if it wasn't for his duties, he would never want to get involved in a fight between the witches' factions.

The witches were going to fight!

The city guards went out and immediately dispersed the pedestrians and citizens in the Palan neighborhood to the outskirts, leaving a wide 'battlefield' for the two factions of witches. Everyone held their breath and looked for cover, silently watching the impending war that was about to break out.

Even Alicia's three rotating witches flew above the sky, condescendingly 'monitoring' the battle.

"Admit defeat, Sophia!" The leading Winter Witch stepped forward, "You Fate Witches are not good at fighting by nature, so it's better to admit defeat early. As long as you go to our family's prison for ten days and half a month, when this war is over, you can still return to the Dragonbone Wilderness, otherwise..."

The rest of the sentence wasn't finished, but the threat had been expressed in full!

"Well, you're getting ahead of yourselves!" Sophia waved the long, heavy, thick wooden stick in her hand, heavily, and it smashed through the hard, blue bars and deeply into the stone slab, "Let the dogs bite them..."

As Sophia shouted, she and the two witches behind her threw out a glowing elemental crystal core at the same time. As the elemental crystal nucleus flew in the air, it had absorbed an extremely dense earth element from its surroundings, and then in a dazzling yellow glow, it transformed into 3 top-ranked gigantic stone puppets.

3 advanced 1st stage stone puppets!

Each of these stone puppets was 4 meters tall and short, and their entire bodies were made up of a single giant rock. Due to their incredible weight, these stone puppets just landed on the street, causing the surrounding buildings to tremble slightly.

As soon as the 3 stone puppets appeared, they roared loudly and rushed towards the Winter Witch on the other side of the street.

"Damn, it's the puppet element!" Leading the Winter Witch shouted, "Guards, stop them!"

Hearing her assignment, one of the white armored guards that had gathered behind the witch rushed up, holding their shields high to meet the stone puppet.

Like a heavy truck rushing steeply into a watermelon field, a terrifying cracking sound immediately rang out in the arena.

The few white-armored guards at the front were smashed into a bloody paste by the stone puppet's grinding disk-sized fist, and their entire bodies exploded into a puddle of flesh. More of the guards were smashed by the stone puppet's swinging fists, turning into roaming birds in a spray of blood.

However, with their struggle, they were able to stop the stone puppet's advance in the end!
