Age of Adepts

The sudden arrival of the alchemical life Kirthlin was not only unexpected by everyone on the Society's side, but even the party, Grim, was also at a loss.

The same type? This Kessling can sense the chip's presence?

Listening to the various exasperated growls in his ears, Grim suddenly had some panic attacks as well, and couldn't help but panic to abort the mental link with this strange life form.

"Detecting an unknown data source, according to existing second-class privileges, able to instantly view, browse, and download some of the open data content therein... Please instruct the subject whether or not to make a data copy?"

While Grim was inexplicably in a somewhat panicked void, the chip's sudden words came out of nowhere and gave him a sudden jolt.

Unknown data source? Open information content?

After that Kirthlin had given himself second-class access, this so-called data source couldn't be the internal data reserves of the Scattered Earth Tallinn Association, could it!

"Download the information immediately, copy everything, and move fast..."

Grim knew full well that this Uroboros incident could be big or small, and once the old guys behind the Association reflected back, they would definitely plug their own loophole. Therefore, it was a victory to steal more or less from their database before the other side reacted.

Grim could perceive that when the order was given, his own mind suddenly emptied, and a large amount of mental energy silently flowed into the chip, turning into some sort of magical power to support it to start operating frantically.

At this time, the chip had already docked with a mysterious and unusual data source in the distance, and began to use its newly acquired second-class authority to frantically copy and download all sorts of data and information. Although most of these were the basic data that the Shattered Tallinn Association had made public to its internal witches, the amount of data was extremely large and took into account all aspects of the witchcraft system.

Moreover, there were only six levels of so-called authority: first class, first class, second class, third class, fourth class, and fifth class.

Among them, Special Grade was only owned by President Fried, while First Grade was shared by all the Association's 4th ranked witches, Second Grade belonged to the 3rd ranked witches within the Association, Third Grade was 2nd ranked witches, Fourth Grade was 1st ranked witches, and Fifth Grade was a Sorcerer's Apprentice.

With such a level of authority, it was a rare occasion for an outsider like Grim, who had just stepped into the Scattered Tallinn Association, to have the same power as Laurien and access to the association's internal database.

Therefore, Grim, accompanied by Laurien, browsed the internal layout of the castle while struggling to support the chip in his mind's rapid demand for spiritual energy.

Finally, in the 85th second after Grim had acquired second-class authority, an old and cold voice suddenly surfaced in his mind.

"Stop in moderation, boy! Hmph, it's only been a little while and you've caused me such a big basket case..."

With the sound of the voice, the mental link between the chip and the mysterious data source in the distance was abruptly interrupted, and a powerful mental recoil shocked Grim dizzily.

Grim, who was walking with Laurianne in an empty tunnel, supported the wall with his hand and held his skull in a spiral. It took half a quarter of an hour for Grim to wake up from that kind of mental recoil, and it was Laurien's unkind grin that he encountered face to face.

"That voice just now..." asked Grim, mouthing the present.

"That was President Fried!" Laurion smiled grimly, "You're not going to use your privileges to snoop on the Society's data, are you? There's thousands of years of hard work accumulated by the association there, and Lord President won't allow you to just browse by an outsider, so it's inevitable that you'll suffer a bit!"

It was no wonder Laurien was smiling so easily, after all, it was only a few tens of seconds in total between this Grim gaining second-class authority and being kicked out by the Chairman. What was this time enough for? I'm afraid I haven't even browsed through the many catalogues of hidden material within the Society alone!

And the one who held this thought was also that Chairman Freed.

If they knew that Grim mind has such a powerful abnormal, and good at data computing and storage of the chip, I'm afraid it would not be so easy and comfortable.

Take a stroking head mouth shen mouth today when, Grim quietly and chip exchange a little.

The chip just linked the link is actually the spirit world of the alchemical life Kirthlin, the association spent so much effort to revitalize the entire castle into an autonomous and independent consciousness body, naturally want to strengthen it into a mysterious card.

If the castle was seen as a witch tower, then Kirthlin was undoubtedly the tower spirit of this witch tower.

All the internal data of the association and communications to and from witchcraft were almost always relayed through Kirthlin, a huge alchemical life consciousness body. Therefore, when the chip cut into this vast expanse of consciousness space through second-class permission, it was frantically copying and downloading data and information as far as the permission allowed.

And according to the chip's statistics, it only copied and downloaded a mere 3.5% of the total content in just a few tens of seconds. Although it sounded very small, considering that this was an aggregation of the vast witchcraft knowledge and internal information from the thousands of years since the establishment of the Scattered Earth Tallinn Association, 3.5% was already a very insane number!

As Grim stroked his head and pretended to be in pain, that Laurien Wood looked up into the void in some direction, gazing as if listening to something.

Following that, he turned back and smiled faintly at Grim.

"Come with me, Lord Freed wishes to see you!"

Grim's heart was in awe, and the painful look on his face instantly disappeared and was replaced with a solemn expression.

A 4th rank wizard...that was a 4th rank wizard! Now, this 4th rank wizard wants to see himself....

Although he had already dealt with a 4th rank wizard a few times, whenever he recalled the terrible feeling of his spirit being suppressed and his mind finding it difficult to relax, he was a little secretly wary.

Seemingly sensing Grim's 'nervousness', the Laurien Wizard comforted, "Don't worry, Lord President won't be overly difficult for you. This matter is, after all, a trouble caused by Kathryn, and Lord President will not be angry with you for it!"

Grim laughed wordlessly, so he began to walk towards a certain part of the upper floor of the castle under the guidance of the other party.

Having been distracted by the so-called permission issue just now, Grim didn't pay much attention to the layout and architectural style inside the castle. At this time, after taking a closer look, an unusually familiar and strange feeling surfaced for no reason.

This familiar tunnel, this familiar wall, this familiar stone door....

"What is the connection between this place and the winds of freedom?" Grim suddenly asked.

Laurion led the way with a light chuckle without turning back, "You finally found it! The Winds of Freedom is actually a mental illusion that Kirthlin has anthropomorphized, and most of the buildings there are projections of Kirthlin's consciousness in Fortress. If you frequent the Winds of Freedom, you'll naturally feel familiar with the place!"

So that's how it was... Grim nodded silently.

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

In a secret room on the upper floor of the castle, Grim met the legendary association president.

This was an old wizard with white eyebrows and beard, a white witch robe, a spiked witch hat on his head, and all kinds of magical rings on his hands and fingers, and a powerful and dense magic breath fluctuation that could be felt from all over his body.

Grim couldn't help but secretly stagger.

His elemental vision could see clearly, and this Lord President had a total of twenty-seven strong sources of magic fluctuations on his entire body, and all of them were sorcery items of rank 3 and above. With such a large number of sorcery items, even unleashing every single one of them once against an enemy would be enough for this President-sama to take out most opponents.

Not to mention the individual strength of this Chairman-sama, the price of these sorcery items alone was probably beyond the reach of an ordinary 4th ranked sorcerer.

Sojourner... this was definitely the biggest sojourner Grim had ever seen!

Compared to him, Grim, who had been complacent about his equipment, was a little ashamed of himself.

"You're Grim?" This President Freed narrowed his eyes and carefully and seriously examined Grim for a long time before finally nodding, "Not bad, it's as good as they described. If I'm not mistaken, your spirit power has reached 39 points, right?"

Grim nodded in acknowledgement, knowing that he could not hide his mental state from anyone.

Laurion, who had accompanied him, looked up with apprehension at all of Grim's eyes.

The last time he had seen this Fire Witch in Raine City, the other party was still just a 2nd rank junior. Only a few decades had passed, and the other party...the other party had already overtaken him ahead of him. This... this was too unimaginable!

Spirituality 39 points... He had been a 3rd stage wizard for four or five hundred years, and had only managed to raise his spirituality to 37 points. It sounded like it was only a step or two away from the peak of the 3rd rank, but Laurien knew his own business, and the closer his mental strength was to the peak, the slower his meditation progress would be.

This is the reason why most of the 3rd rank shamans, after sensing that the room for progress in meditation was cut off, started to travel around, hoping that the dangers and the stimulation of life and death would make their mental strength progress again, or search for some strange treasures or witchcraft methods that could assist their mental strength.

After all, the tremendous mental torment of meditating for more than ten years without perceiving the slightest progress was not something ordinary people could easily endure!

But this Legendary Fire Witch in front of him was able to cross the 2nd and 3rd stage thresholds in less than a hundred years, was this because of the other party's amazing talent potential, or did he have some special treasures?

Laurion's mind was so distracted and rambling that he could no longer hear the rest of their conversation.

"My lord, I hear you wish to see me, but is there anything you wish to assign to me?" Grim hesitated, but finally chose to speak up.

The two sides had different power levels, and they viewed things at different levels and from different angles. Therefore, Grim didn't dare to play any tricks in front of this revered and powerful 4th stage wizard.

Hearing what Grim had asked, a strange smile appeared on the face of the Freed Sorcerer and said softly, "Have you... ever heard of source mass?"
