Age of Adepts

Chapter 0989 - The Great Harvest

The lair that Remy had arranged was located deep in the dense forest.

The original indigenous beasts and jungle creatures here were all strangled to death by it, becoming flesh and blood material for its transformation of the Plague Corps. Therefore, it was almost impossible to find any living creatures within a radius of 20 to 30 miles, let alone those large carnivorous herbivorous beasts.

Forced to do so, Grim could only send out two rank 1 rock pythons to hunt back a five-colored deer on the outskirts of the jungle, which was a small fight to the teeth.

No way, trapped under a volcano, gnawing on fire dragon ribs for five years straight. Even though this high-energy ingredient had great benefits to his constitution and fire affinity, it also made Grim eat completely backwards, almost nauseated and dry heaving at the smell of the fire dragon ribs.

Having hurriedly filled his stomach, Grim sat by the campfire in the cold cave and couldn't help but wrap his cloth robe tightly around him. For some reason, he'd been hot and cold for the past half day, and his heartbeat and emotions were never easy to keep down.

With Remy and its epidemic beast corps guarding outside, there was no problem with safety, so Grim raised his hand and released the elemental magic weapon from the puppet amulet, pulling it closer to examine it carefully.

After a dozen or so flexes of the chip scan, a complete set of injury statistics were listed.

Target creature: elemental magical weapon

Target level: 3 intermediate

Target genus: a combination of elemental puppet and metallic magic weapon.

Target base data: strength 37 (26) physique 39 (31) agility 11 (8) mental 32 (27)

........

According to the chip's statistics, the base battle strength that the Elemental Demon Armament is currently capable of is shown in parentheses.

Due to a series of battles and a lack of necessary repairs and maintenance, the Elemental Demon Armament's battle strength has severely declined. In addition to its constitution, which was barely able to stay at Rank 3 thanks to its high magic and gold, its strength and spirit had fallen below Rank 3.

Such an elemental magic weapon was still able to crush a 2nd level Silver Knight, but when facing a 3rd level Knight, the advantage was no longer so obvious.

As for the Elemental Magic Weapon, since it blended the two strange systems of Elemental Puppet and Metal Magic Weapon, it was much more difficult to repair it than a normal Magic Weapon, and had to use the special alchemy lab inside the Flame Throne Witch Tower. Therefore, here, Grim could only find a way to use some of the ordinary metals he had collected to repair the too obvious damage on the body of the Elemental Magic Armament.

As a result, the defense of the Elemental Demonic Armament that had been 'patched' with countless flowers and red and green 'patches' was improved, but it could hardly reach its limit level.

It took half a day of patching and banging to close all the gaps in the Elemental Demonic Armament's body that were too piercing. The Elemental Demonic Armament's physique had risen from 31 points after the break to 34 points, which was still a huge gap from its original 39 points.

Waving his hand to have Elemental Demon Armor also go to the entrance of the cave to look out for himself, Grim then carefully took out the 3 storage rings and browsed and appreciated them one by one.

Even though he knew that most sorcerers didn't take all of their rare resources and riches with them on their cross-dimensional expeditions, Grim was still confident in the 3 storage rings. For no other reason than they were a 3rd rank wizard's personal rings.

Both Natagoo and Benigia had died, so the spirit brand they had placed on the storage rings had crumbled on their own. With little effort, Grim was able to parse out the pre-programmed secret code to open them as the chips scanned and deciphered them.

All sorcerers' storage rings were a double verification of both the sorcery secret word and the spirit brand, and one discrepancy made it impossible to open them. Now that the mental branding had crumbled on its own, Grim was able to open them easily with only the sorcery mantra.

The first one to browse was Natagoo's ring.

When Grim mentally probed into it, the chip had quickly projected a list of items in his mind with its powerful scanning ability.

32,000 magic crystals, 104 magic gems of all kinds, 3 pairs of snake molts, 1068 pieces of snake scales, 17 kilograms of black mamba venom, 73 salo fruits, 235 grams of dream source grass, 12 grams of sunflower, 11 instant wands, 53 sorcery scrolls, 26 bottles of sorcery potions, 1 teleportation amulet, several sorcery equipment....

In addition to these sorcery items, there were also many other items that belonged to life or individuals. Among them, there were many exotic magical strains or rare ores that could not be found in the Wizarding World at all, and only came from the outer void.

Excluding those items that couldn't be appraised at the moment, the value of the chip to the Natagoo Storage Ring was assessed at somewhere between 2 and 3 million.

But what caught Grim's attention the most was the disposable teleportation talisman and the five bottles of bloodline medicine.

According to the chip's scan and analysis, two of the five bottles of bloodline chemicals were bloodline rejuvenation chemicals and the other three were bloodline purification chemicals developed for the Black Mamba Serpent's bloodline.

With them, Grim could have created some Giant Serpent Bloodline Shamans within the Crimson Family who were loyal to him. It was just that there were already several Giant Snake Bloodline families in the Scattered Tallinn region, and if the Crimson Family suddenly appeared with a few Giant Snake Shamans, it would easily cause misunderstanding and animosity among them.

But for that, Grim didn't care!

The one-time teleportation rune was the key to Grim's successful escape from the Enwick Plane. With it, Grim would no longer have to smuggle himself to the Fire Elemental Plane according to his original plan, and then try to locate the Flame Throne Witch Tower there, and then manage to return to the Wizard World.

The original plan sounded very simple, but once it was put into practice, it was full of hardships and unknown risks. Moreover, that Mesa Grand Witch seemed to have a few old friends in the Fire Elemental Plane, and once she had her tracks clearly caught, borrowing the Fire Elemental Plane would be a risky operation!

Now, with this disposable teleportation talisman array that Misha had personally created, with a simple adjustment of the teleportation dao marker on it, Grim would be able to easily return to the Wizard World. If that Misa Grand Witch knew that she had sent Grim away with her own hands, she would probably just explode with anger!

Apart from the teleportation talismans, bloodline potions, and all kinds of exotic treasures from the Extra-Terrestrial Star Sea, those seemingly ordinary Instant Wands and Sorcery Scrolls were not ordinary goods either. Most of those instant wands were stored in 2nd and 3rd level witchcraft, covering almost all the witchcraft spectrums in the Wizard World.

Even if you happened to find a few 1st rank wands, what was stored inside were several very useful 1st rank minor sorceries such as 'Item Locating', 'Time Regression', and 'Dream Demon'.

One could be used to find items, one could view the historical scenes of a certain area for three hours, and one could summon a bizarre Dream Demon to serve itself....

The Dream Demon is a purely spiritual strange creature that belongs to the harmless demons and is able to create an almost realistic dream space for the summoner with its powerful dream-making ability. As such, it also belonged to the otherworldly demons most often summoned by sorcerers, bar none!

As for those Sorcery Scrolls, they were a bit lacking in class.

This was actually normal, having just gone through many witch wars, almost all of those high grade sorcery scrolls were consumed by Natagoo, and the rest were of course 'scraps'.

After proudly examining Natagu's collection, Grim rushed to put this storage ring with a snake eye on his finger. In this way, Grim had four magic diamond rings to fill the palm of one hand.

The next to be examined was the storage ring of that mind warlock, Benija.

The same dense amount of magic crystals and gems, the same astonishing amount of sorcery materials and sorcerer resources, the same amount of sorcery equipment and sorcery ornaments... However, the one that caught Grim's attention the most was a Level 2 Star Beast's corpse embedded in strange amber.

Seeing this Star Beast corpse, Grim was instantly struck with a jolt and immediately realized that it was the 'that thing' that he had willingly ventured to the Enwik Dimension!

Grim possessed a source-stealing worm that could extract the corresponding natural ability from the blood of some demons, and only Alice and Mary knew about such a thing. Even that Mesa Grand Witch was unable to learn of such level of information through Fate Divination.

Originally, Alice only knew through Fate that Grim might be able to seek out the bloodline talent that she dreamed of if she came to the Enwik Dimension. However, what this bloodline gift was and where it was hidden was unknown.

Therefore, even though he knew this trip would be extremely risky, Grim still came here for himself and for Alice.

However, after being in the Enewick position for so long, Grim has also traveled through many regions, but never heard any information related to star beasts or exotic demons. Just when Grim had been close to despair, thinking that the information that Alice had obtained was just false information released by the other party, this item appeared before him in such a bizarre manner.

Benija... that mind warlock was obviously from the Outer Domain Star Sea, and by what means did she capture this 2nd Order Star Beast? What kind of strange abilities are hidden within this 2nd ranked star beast?

There was no way for Grim to know about all of this, and could only endure silently until he returned to the Witch Tower and then slowly parse it out. Right now then... Grim held this storage ring and kissed it fiercely a few times, solemnly wearing it on his right hand.

The remaining storage ring, the one of Knife Katy, Grim browsed through it hastily.

Although it was just as incredibly valuable, and although it was just as full of listeners, there wasn't much else that would catch Grim's attention like the star beast's corpse anymore. Still, in the ring, Grim had found some odd metals with strange magical properties.

It could be seen that that blade Katie kept these metals in order to replenish and maintain the metal depletion in her body.

And although they didn't reach the same level of rarity as Quillus Alloy, they had considerable research value in certain magical properties!
