Age of Adepts

Wizarding World, Scytis Region.

Molten Fire City.

In the secret room of the Sorcerer Tower.

Alfred City Lord, dressed in purple robes, sat within the stone chair, gazing at the young sorcerer who stood proudly before him, and asked curiously, "Your Excellency Grim, there doesn't seem to be any friendship between us, does there? I don't know what you're doing for such a rash visit."

Grim, dressed in a fiery red witch robe and holding the fire coral witch staff that was a head taller than himself, gazed at the other party with a smile on his face and said calmly, "I have come mainly to remove some of the conflicts and misunderstandings between us. In order to show my sincerity, this is a gift specially prepared for the City Lord!"

With that, Grim took out an object from his storage ring and pushed it gently, slowly floating it towards the other side.

Alfred hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out to receive the object and played with it.

A crystal of knowledge....

Everett glanced at Grim, probing a sliver of mental awareness into the crystal of knowledge, perceiving it a little and sitting up straighter.

What was all this?

Fundamentals of the Arcane, Discussion and Application of Anti-Gravity Boundaries, and Guide to Building a Floating Ring....

A series of complete and self-contained arcane theories, systematically describing the entire process of the Floating Ring from design to construction, as well as the many issues that needed care and attention... With this, it was possible that it could be directly applied to one's witch tower with only minor modifications.

How could Alfred, as a rank 4 Sorcerer, not estimate the importance of this Crystal of Knowledge in his hand!

Since time immemorial, there has been no shortage of talented people in the wizarding world who wanted to create magical devices that could fly around and help wizarding towers move. Unfortunately, too many sorcery problems plagued them.

First of all, the tower's energy source comes from the elemental altar, which requires a constant flow of elemental energy from the elemental plane. Once the Witch Tower shifted, the spatial doctrines of the Elemental Altar would shift along with it. At that time, the spatial connection between the Sorcerer Tower and the Elemental Plane would naturally close.

Therefore, when the Witch Tower was moving, the spatial doctrine's bit conversion would always be anchored to the elemental plane. This was also a major problem that had consumed the brain power of countless genius sorcerers that could not be solved!

Secondly, in order for the witch tower to fly, it had to be weighted down.

It was then crucial to find a new material for the Witch Tower to balance its defensive power and weight!

So many difficulties had continued to plague those wizards who had aspirations to transform the Witch Tower, and now with the support of this mature and complete new system, it would not be a fool's errand to try to accomplish a similar transformation.

"What does Your Excellency mean by this? The contents of this crystal of knowledge can already be considered priceless, so how is your Excellency willing to hand it over so easily?" Everett looked up again to Grim with eyes that were no longer so cold and harsh, but instead took on a hint of goodwill and curiosity.

"I know that due to my recklessness in doing things in the past, I had a slight grudge and 'misunderstanding' with the City Lord. This time, I came here specifically to resolve the 'misunderstanding', and I hope that the City Lord is still satisfied..." explained Grim with a smile on his face.

Words were especially accentuated for the word 'misunderstanding'.

Alfred quietly looked at Grim, finally spreading a smile after a long time.

"If they are misunderstandings, then let them pass! From now on, Lord Grim will also be an honored guest of my Molten Fire City. I, Alfred, will welcome Your Excellency at any time!"

Grim breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the smile on his face grew even wider.

With this knock on the door, the two who turned enemies into friends once again put their hands together and began to meticulously discuss the subsequent cooperation between the two forces.

The Crimson Family needed the rare ore resources underneath Melting Fire City, and Melting Fire City was also interested in the giant dragon resources and battle magic weapons that the Crimson Family controlled in their hands.

The two sides hit it off right away, and the two power leaders immediately reached a strategic cooperation intention.

As for the specific details of the deal, they would be left to their respective hands to negotiate and negotiate slowly.

When all of this was taken care of, that flame billet that Grim projected instantly turned into a scattered flame that slowly dissipated into the chamber. As for that Molten Fire City Lord, Alfred, while playing with the Knowledge Crystal, stared at the place where Grim had disappeared, his eyes flashing with a complex light that was hard for outsiders to understand.

Heck, it's only been how many years since... a little guy who was previously trembling before himself to even say a word, was now able to be on equal footing with him. Moreover, the other party's random items were able to make himself, an old wizard, feel amazed, which was a clear indication of the other party's wealth and high-end quality.

Thus, even though Grim had already left, Alfred was still overcome with emotion, full of himself immersed in a ridiculous temporal disorder!

This son should not be underestimated....

Perhaps taking this opportunity to make peace with the other side is the only way for Melting Fire City to continue to grow in peace....

Alfred pondered seriously and finally took an idea in his mind.

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

It's safe to say that Grim is the soul and backbone of the Crimson family!

When Grim traveled to the Otherworld, the entire Crimson Family could only choose to hunker down and silently await his return. As soon as Grim returned, the entire Crimson Family became active and aggressive, and once again began to expand their power and influence.

Mary marched off to that Hazen bit with a large number of her vampire men.

Although the Scattered Tallinn Society had been briefly developed in the early stages, the ruling order and the environment of the seat in it still seemed chaotic. To establish a solid and stable ruling structure there, and to continuously exploit the resources therein, it will take a great deal of effort on the part of the vampire camp.

Re-establishing outposts, creating trans-dimensional transport arrays, investigating the environment and resource distribution, attempting to make contact with the natives, demonstrating and deterring the ambitious slaves, attempting to establish an effective resource collection system....

So many tedious and tedious tasks, each step of which required careful planning and repeated thought, or else it would lead to extremely serious consequences.

But with the vampire men under Mary's leadership, the overall strength was clearly above that troll kingdom in Haisen's realm. Regardless of whether it was force overpowering, or soft and hard, it was only a matter of time before they would want to succumb.

Therefore, Grim didn't interfere too much with Mary's actions, but let her play as she pleased.

As for the other Mountain Plane, Goblin Cappy had already sent a 300-strong goblin advance team into it, and was conducting primary geological exploration and terrain mapping. It was estimated that the overall resource distribution map of that secondary plane would be available within a month.

By that time, successive goblin mining equipment and personnel would be deployed in place, and it would soon enter the stage of substantial development.

However, that Mountain's Plane, although it had a relatively small number of bitter creatures, it also had many earth elemental creatures with a strong territorial concept. It was still necessary for the goblin squad to be equipped with a certain amount of force!

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

The Hazen bit.

It was a primeval forest that had yet to be explored.

A dense sea of forest covered the land, and as far as the eye could see, the entire world was a lush green.

Somewhere in a clearing in the forest, a strange black dot was slowly drifting in the air.

Finally, as the spatial energy continued to vibrate, this spatial singularity slowly expanded and stretched, eventually turning into a three-meter sized, constantly twisting and deforming spatial rift.

Pffffft....

Immediately, light and shadow flashed in the spatial rift, and a dozen or so sharp and sturdy black and red figures slowly emerged and eventually stabilized their existence.

Only when they had successfully escaped the shackles of the spatial barrier were they able to move their bodies at will, and began their expedition to this bizarre dimension.

Mary, being at the peak of the 3rd stage, was naturally the first traverser to escape the shackles of the bit plane.

But because of the same reason, she had undoubtedly endured the greatest suppression of the laws of the bit plane!

Mary moved her body, flapping her bat wings behind her as she slowly rose to the forest floor.

Unfortunately, looking out, the entire field of vision could barely see any other color than the full green.

Those trolls can be different from humans.

Humans like to cut down trees and cultivate farmland to create an enclosed living area. On the other hand, the trolls still stick to their primitive and simple living conditions, wearing leaves and animal skins, eating wild fruits and game, and living in tree fortresses or valleys, so it's hard to find their traces without careful search.

It seems that the first thing you need to do after crossing over is to spread your eyes and ears to find the area where those trolls live and breed.

In order to exploit this Haimori level, it would undoubtedly require a large number of cheap slaves.

If all of them were transferred from the outside world, the surprisingly high teleportation cost would be enough to devour the few resources of this location. Therefore, in order to save money, it was more cost-effective to try to capture the natives of this location.

After a simple calculation, Mary's figure turned and slowly descended to the ground again.

At this time, the vampire men she had brought with her were also gradually escaping the shackles of the bit and were moving their arms and legs to slowly adapt to the laws of the bit here.

"Wenlier, you take a few of your men and set up a small camp here to stabilize this spatial rift and receive the subsequent reinforcements."

"Yes!"

"Solus, you go that way; Winsal, you go that way; Lelia, you go that way; Sparrow, you go that way... Take three days to explore as far as you can for me. Spot the trolls and report back immediately. All right, all go!"

"Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!"

A few of the vampire underlings accepted the order and without delay, they each took one or two of their men and flew off into the distance in a hurry along the few directions that Mary had casually pointed out.

Whether it was the Blood Knights or the Blood Elves, they generally had a powerful power of 2nd or 3rd rank, and although they were suppressed by some bits, their basic strength was still there. With this kind of strength, there was not much danger in exploring such secondary planes.

In three days, with the vampires' usual speed, it was enough to explore a thousand miles away.

Within such a vast hunting range, there shouldn't be any problem trying to spot those trolls!
