Age of Adepts

In the next two days, Grim, accompanied by that beautiful Fraina, toured almost all the public areas of the Molten Fire City.

By the way, the size of the Molten Fire City was really not small, if it was leveled above the ground, it would be at least the size of a medium-sized city. But adding up the entire population of the underground Molten Fire City was only 3-4,000 people, and 70% of the chores and slaves were living in the outer strongholds.

The core area that was able to support 20,000 to 30,000 people surprisingly only had 200 to 300 witches, plus most of the witches were either in the library or in the lab, and those who occasionally went out also came and went in a hurry. This also led to the fact that a core area of Noe had opened up so many botanical gardens, gardens, and other man-made landscapes, yet there was no sign of half a dozen people.

Grim could tell that that Frenna was salivating over herself as well. I'm afraid that as long as Grim hooks his finger, the beautiful witch will come to his bed in the middle of the night.

But Grim has something on his mind, and he is not in the mood to play such games with her, so after two days, anyone can see the grudge in that Fraina's eyes.

This Grim is no longer in the mood to care, because the more information he learns, the more strange feeling he has.

This time around, his 'enemy' was most likely an acquaintance!

When he asked from Fraina that the one who had been messing around in the Molten Fire City was a rank 3 Flame Tiger, his little heart fluttered a bit. And when he saw the magic image that Fraina pulled out from the monitoring crystal, he was even more certain that it was the 3rd rank Flame Tiger Xindar that had smuggled in from the Fire Elemental Plane.

Speaking of which, Molten Fire City had also suffered an unmitigated disaster.

When developing the underground ore veins, they had placed a large number of witch formations and wizards on the outskirts in order to avoid the invasion of foreign enemies. Above the ore veins, there was also that 4th rank sorcerer sitting in the Sorcerer's Tower.

With this kind of protection, any invasion by external enemies was impossible.

However, what the people of Lava Fire City did not expect was that the enemy that popped up this time did not come from above, but from the depths of the sea of lava where the mine was located.

Two years ago, a 3rd stage Flame Tiger with extremely high spiritual intelligence emerged from the underground lava sea and invaded several underground mines, devouring and taking away a large amount of exotic metal ores, as well as causing the lava sea to pour back into the mines, killing more than 600 molten fire city miners.

After that, this 3rd stage Flame Tiger seemed to have the intention of settling down in Lava City, hiding in the depths of the Lava Sea and sneaking into the underground mines whenever it had free time. It usually hides in the depths of the Lava Sea, sneaking into the underground mines whenever it has free time. After several times, the production of metal ores in Molten Flame City has dropped drastically, and the miners recruited have also suffered heavy casualties.

As the manager of the mines, the many sorcerers in Molten Flame City naturally wouldn't just let a foreign beast cause trouble in their own family's territory. They had also formed a team to encircle the Flame Tiger a few times, but unfortunately, each time, it had escaped through the omnipresent sea of lava.

If the number of shamans sent out was small or not strong enough, they might be bitten by the flaming tiger and injured. When the number of sorcerers sent out increased, the Flame Tiger was also very cunning, turning around and disappearing into the depths of the lava sea.

Although there were a few fire witches in Molten Fire City, they were no more than 2nd stage, and searching for the 3rd stage flame tiger in the lava sea was like beating a dog with a meat bag. The rest of the sorcerers were barely able to fight with the help of the sorcerer's array to isolate the hot lava, but to go deeper into the lava sea, there was no turning back.

So, these days, molten fire city's sorcerers have put down the work at hand, guarding the underground mines near, making it also scorched head, miserable.

They had no choice but to issue a high-level mission, hoping to recruit a powerful fire witch to capture and kill the Flame Tiger. Of course, fearing that it would be difficult for a rank 3 Fire Witch to deal with that Flaming Tiger on his own, Melting Fire City also recruited a rank 3 Sealer.

A 3rd rank Fire Witch + a 3rd rank Sealing Master, plus a 3rd rank from Melting Fire City... with this kind of strength, it should be more than enough to capture and kill that 3rd rank Flaming Tiger!

After understanding all of this, Grim couldn't help but be a little curious and asked that Frenna to head to the vicinity of the underground mines to observe the situation.

After hesitating for a bit and asking that Lord Kerak for permission with her sorcery, this led him to turn onto the passageway that led deep underground.

After half an hour of continuously traversing the twisting and turning underground passage, Grim could clearly perceive that the concentration of the fire element in the passage was beginning to increase dramatically, and the air was becoming increasingly thick with sulfur.

Within a wide underground stone hall, Grim finally saw the long-lost crowd.

This was a must-see place leading to the underground mines, and the large underground stone hall was filled with shackled, bare-chested alien slaves, with only a rag wrapped around their bottoms.

Their physiques were robust, with brownish-black skin, and their bare upper bodies were covered with grease, stains, and whip marks across the tops of their bodies. They were tall and powerful, but their eyes were filled with numbness and patience as they waited in a long line to collect their tools to enter the mine tunnels.

On the other side, there was a team of alien slaves that had just emerged from inside the mines.

Each of them was carrying a wooden basket almost as tall as themselves, with spiky black ores stacked high inside. The surface of the ore reflected the fluorescent stone light cast from the cave wall, and it was colorful and beautiful.

These were all extremely raw ores, and although the ore contained a lot of metal components, without further crushing and screening, it would be difficult to distinguish which metal components were more numerous.

Those in charge of inspecting, weighing and recording the ore were all apprentice sorcerers, flanked by a large number of human mercenaries who were responsible for maintaining order inside the underground stone hall. As for the two sorcerers stationed here, they were lying on the wooden chairs at one side of the hall, drinking tea and talking about something with flying eyebrows.

What the miner slaves and subordinate mercenaries were entering and exiting was naturally another passageway. And the one that Fraina took with Grim was the upper passage that only the witches could pass through.

Seeing the arrival of Witch Fraina, the two resident rank 1 witches hurriedly stood up and rushed to the vicinity to bow in greeting.

"That foreign beast hasn't been messing around again in the last few days, right?" Although Frenna acted like a bird in front of Grim, she put out a full show of authority in front of a few low-level witches.

"No no no..."

"Then open the passage, this lord and I are going to look into the lava sea!"

"Yes!"

With Frenna leading the way, the two resident witches naturally had no objections.

Led by them, Grim and Fraina entered a quiet pathway, turned a few corners, and arrived at a smooth, mirror-like stone wall.

The two resident witches each pulled out a strange wand and pointed it at the center of the stone wall in unison. With a strange wave of sorcery, a huge stone door appeared in the center of the original blue-gray stone wall. Then the door slid silently to one side, revealing a dark red, rushing, viscous magma fluid outside the light film.

As soon as the door opened, a film of energy rose up here, blocking out the hot, churning magma.

Despite this, the temperature in this passageway also began to rise dramatically, quickly reaching over a hundred degrees.

If an ordinary person was exposed to such an environment, his flesh and blood would be cooked in less than three to five minutes. Even the two resident sorcerers could not help but frequently start wiping the sweat from their foreheads.

With a sweep of Grim's eyes, the chip had scanned the stone door as well as the dark red lava sea that filled the vision beyond it.

"The lava sea is more complicated, I'll walk with your Excellency inside!" Frenna said with a smile.

Grim shook his head and said calmly, "I won't go far, I'll just scout the area nearby so that I'll be more confident in the fight later..."

I'm not going to be polite to the other party anymore. I took a few steps to the light film, and a layer of light red magic mask suddenly rose up on my body, before I slowly passed through the light film and into the surging sea of lava.

Although the lava sea in front of him seemed to be stationary, the viscous magma fluid was actually in a constant state of rushing and flowing. It was only the fact that the entire space was filled with dark red hot lava that gave people an illusion of the senses.

As soon as Grim pierced through the light film, the light shield on the surface of his body abruptly endured thousands of pounds of crushing force. The scalding magma of pinning bones and etching flesh desperately squeezed towards the center from all directions, and Grim, being in the middle of it, naturally had to endure this strange force as well.

Grim hesitated for a moment, and slowly put the light shield into his body again, and the surrounding hot magma instantly crowded over and wrapped him tightly.

The hot magma and warm skin touched together, and instead of emitting a noxious burning sound, a stream of heat penetrated into Grim's body, causing him to soothe his mouth and almost mouth out now.

If he was still at rank 2, he might be able to withstand the extreme heat here, but he couldn't withstand the terrifying hydraulic pressure. Now after advancing to the 3rd rank, this body's affinity with the fire element had reached an extremely high level. At this moment, plunging into the lava sea, not only could it not feel the slightest pressure, but it had a smooth feeling of being like a fish in water.

But Grim also had to divide a stream of flame energy from his body to dissipate around him and protect the witch robe outside of his body, otherwise such terrifying heat burning might be tolerated by his own person, but the clothes outside of his body would definitely be unbearable.

If you don't want to 钅 毀果奔, you'll have to use flame energy to protect your clothes!

Other sorcerers might have difficulty navigating in the lava sea, but a fire witch had no problems in this regard.

Grim smiled, and his entire body immediately gathered and dispersed, turning into a humanoid flame that quickly moved through the viscous lava sea. Relying on the streams of flames from different angles, Grim dashed left and right in the depths of the lava sea, and his speed was even several times faster than flying in the air.

For a fire witch, flames were indeed his home turf!
