Age of Adepts

Grim arrived at Rayne City in 3 days.

The Scythian region where Molten Fire City was located was more than 100,000 miles away from where Grim was located, and it was necessary to cross four different realms on the way, and ordinary flying witch beasts simply could not reach it, so they had to use the Silver Alliance's floating ships to pass through.

The treatment that Grim enjoyed this time when he arrived at Rayne City was also heaven and earth different from the last time.

As soon as he stepped down from the Scorpion Lion and before he arrived at his temporarily arranged residence, the Wizard Tower administrators had already dispatched a special wizard to wait at the entrance of the residence.

"Lord Grim, I don't know what you're doing here in Rayne City. If there's anything I can do for you, you can just ask..." the person in charge of the reception was a 2nd rank mechanical wizard, most of his exposed skin had been replaced by a silvery-white strange metal, and his appearance looked a bit creepy.

"I have something I need to do to travel to the Scytis region, and I want to take a floating ship here..." there was nothing to keep secret about this mission, so Grim was not subtle.

"No problem! There is a pontoon boat for the west the day after tomorrow, and I will arrange it for you! Also..." this mechanical wizard smiled, "There will also be a regular wizard gathering at the Golden Hall of the Witch Tower tonight, I wonder if you..."

"Understood! Send someone to let me know when the party starts!"

"Okay, I'll let them know!"

Having received Grim's promise, the mechanical sorcerer immediately left with a smile on his face.

It could be seen that the top management of the Rayne City Sorcerer Tower was still looking forward to Grim's arrival.

One had to know that at this moment, almost half of the Elovis region where Rayne City was located had fallen into the hands of the Crimson Family, and the rise of the Crimson Family looked unstoppable. In this situation, their early personal relationship with Grim was undoubtedly extremely beneficial to the development of Rayne City.

Therefore, whether it was public or private, the top brass of the Rayne City Witch Tower had to show a high stance.

A 2nd stage sorcerer might still be suppressed and attacked, but for a 3rd stage sorcerer, apart from those 4th stage old monsters who would not appear behind the curtain, they were already considered the top power in the sorcerer world.

Especially for a battle wizard like Grim, who had shown great strength, they could only pull together, not suppress it.

Therefore, in response to Grim's arrival, the attitude of the top brass of the Raine City Witch Tower was completely different from the last time, and there was even a hint of wanting to mend the previous cracks.

Of course, Grim knew this in his heart.

And he also wanted to take this opportunity to get more in touch with the high-ranking sorcerers in the Scattered Tallinn region.

............

When night fell, the Golden Hall was already filled with distinguished shamans from all levels of the Witch Tower.

Originally, the regular gathering of the Witch Pagoda's witches should have been in five days, but due to the arrival of a distinguished guest, the top management of the Witch Pagoda had to move it up.

Those shamans stationed in the Tower already knew through various channels who the mysterious guest was, so they came to the Golden Hall early and took up some good seats, chatting with their familiar friends in low voices while waiting for the arrival of the distinguished guest.

Of course, their private conversations were always inseparable from the last scene that happened in the arena of the Witch Tower.

Some witches who had not experienced it firsthand asked in a low voice, while those who had watched the scene described it carefully with great interest and vividness.

A 2nd rank wizard defeating a 3rd rank wizard all by himself, something that could not have happened, yet it happened in Rayne City. So it also made them proud with it for a long, long time.

A group of musicians in fine costumes were performing beautiful and elegant music in a corner of the hall, while men and women in stiff waiters' costumes were smilingly moving among the sorcerers, bringing them cups of wine and plates of cakes on delicate trays.

Male and female witches in various robes and uniforms stood casually in various corners of the hall, chatting and laughing among the cups and chips. A few of the female witches in particular were dressed in hot and sexy outfits that quickly became the focus of attention in the banquet hall.

One of them had gone to the south to attend to some personal matters and had not returned yet. One of them had gone to the south to attend to some personal matters, and had not returned yet. Therefore, only two rank 3 witches appeared in the Golden Hall, one was a rank 3 Body Alchemist, Zavist, and the other was a rank 3 Earth Wizard, Ragnar.

They were currently occupying the center of the hall, surrounded by a group of vassal witches, talking casually while not ceaselessly scanning the hall's entrance.

"How much do you really know about this Grim Sorcerer? I've heard that he's not even 200 years old... Is this information reliable or not?" The last time Grim had come to the Rayne City Witch Tower, the 3rd level Alchemist Wizard Zavest wasn't in the tower, so he hadn't come into contact with the other side, and thus was skeptical of the many rumors.

The earth wizard Rogaine held a glass of mellow red wine in his hand, shaking and vibrating it gently with a faint smile on his face.

"I don't know much more than that, and it's all just rumors of the past. But he is very young indeed. That rumor of being less than 200 years old is probably...true!"

"Hiss... "Zavist couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air, "Less than 200 years old! Then... wouldn't that mean... it's very likely that he will advance to the 4th rank?"

"Based on time and qualifications alone, I'm afraid he may very well become a future 4th rank wizard!" The smile on Ragnar's face didn't diminish as he laughed lightly, "I'm afraid that the guys who want to suppress this young wizard are going to have a headache!"

Zavist also laughed dryly a few times.

The conflict between Grim and his old boss, the Sarupo Family, had long been known. Now that the Crimson Family created by Grim had risen strongly in the Alois region, I'm afraid that the most difficult and headacheful at this moment would belong to the Sarupo Family.

In the past, for the sake of that Sarupo Grand Sorcerer, there might have been many opportunists helping to put on a show to suppress that Grim. But now, people had become a 3rd rank sorcerer and had shown the potential to advance to the 4th rank.

Under such circumstances, what other fools would rush forward to offend such a future 4th rank sorcerer?

I'm afraid they'll have to try to reconcile with Grim even before the Sarupo's pop up with a new 4th level wizard!

The Sarupo Grand Sorcerer was indeed strong, but unfortunately, being outside of the domain and unable to return to the Sorcerer's World deprived the Sarupo Family of the only possibility of suppressing Grim. Of course, that Grim wouldn't have taken the initiative to provoke the Sarupo Family if he wasn't stupid. After all, with two 3rd rank bloodline sorcerers sitting here, the Sarupo family's strength was one of the best in the middle of the continent.

When they saw the two 3rd stage sorcerers chatting here, the many 1st and 2nd stage sorcerers surrounding the area could only compensate and listen in silence. At this time, the one who could interject in front of the two 3rd rank witches was naturally the closest person to the two witches.

"Teacher, the day before yesterday, the Witch Tower just received some news from the north, and it seems that there is still some connection with this Lord Grim!" The one who spoke was a middle-aged sorcerer, who also had the strength of rank 2, with a heavy and serious expression.

He was a disciple of a 3rd rank earth wizard, Rogaine.

"Oh? Tell me about it..." nodded Ragna.

"Yes! The news was brought from the Black Rose Chamber of Commerce in the North, and it was said... the war that took place between the Witches of Fate and the Witches of Winter had ended! Teacher, can you guess which side is winning?"

"According to common sense, it should be the Winter Witches who won. But since you ask, could it be that the Fate Witches won?" Ragna couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

"Yes, Sensei! The message they brought back made it clear that the Fate Witches were victorious."

Zavest, who was listening from the sidelines, couldn't help but frown.

"We're talking about Grim, what are you guys talking about the Northland witches...do those Northland witches still have anything to do with this Grim?"

Ragnar shook his head and sighed, "Zavist, you're still too close-minded! You may not be aware of it, but that young Grim has a very close relationship with the Witches of Destiny. It's said that the leader of this Fate Witches is that Grim's secret mistress...do you think that's strong news?"

"What? Is there such a thing?" That Zavist's eyes immediately stared round, filled with astonishment and incredulity.

The leader of the Northern Witch Faction, that could be considered a 4th rank witch in the Scattered Tallinn region!

To be associated with them, the resources, the wealth, the power...it's like wanting everything!

For a moment, even Zavist was a little jealous of the lucky boy.

"Lord Grim to..."

As the name was sung loudly by the deacon apprentice at the entrance of the hall, all the witches in this golden hall stopped talking and turned their heads towards the door.

There, a tall, young and handsome man walked in, and a pair of dark pupils fell straight down on the bodies of the two 3rd rank witches.

The two 3rd rank wizards immediately raised their glasses and nodded their heads in greeting.

Grim strode towards the two.

The vassal sorcerers gathered at the sides of the two rank 3 sorcerers retreated to the sides in an interesting manner, leaving the three of them with a secure venue to talk.

"Welcome, Grim Wizard!"

"Thank you both for your kindness, and I am honored to visit you both..."

After a simple exchange of pleasantries, the three of them gathered together to talk happily.

None of the topics discussed involved cooperation or communication between the two sides, all of them were related to issues that needed attention after a sorcerer had advanced to the 3rd level. From this aspect, the three of them were openly talking and exchanging ideas, but secretly it was the two veteran sorcerers who were silently teaching and instructing Grim, the newly promoted sorcerer!

It was a great time for all the guests!
