Age of Adepts

Trading the 5th level Fire Jewel + 4th level Moon Spring for that 5th level Shadow Jewel....

No one would have been willing to do such a money-losing deal originally.

But... the Jewel of Shadows meant too much to the Dark Witches!

Therefore, even if she held her nose, Cersei Witch could only accept such an unfair deal with resentment and pain.

After taking the Jewel of Shadows, Cersei intended to turn away with a hateful glare at Grim, but was stopped by Grim's outstretched hand.

"What do you want?" Cersei was shocked and immediately prepared for battle.

For the first time, a deep fear surfaced in her heart.

This was Alice's Destiny Gauntlet, not the Dark Witch's Black Mysteries.

If Alice really had any malicious intent, there was a pretty good chance that a trinity combination like Alice + Grim + Shadow Demon would leave her behind. So, even though she knew that Alice was unlikely to do such a thing as betraying the Witch of the North, Cersei's heart was still tense.

"Our deal isn't over yet, so why should Cersei-sama be in a hurry to leave?" Grim coughed softly, his mental weakness still so evident.

"Isn't the deal already done? What else is there to trade?" Cersei questioned warily.

"So Chief Cersei means you don't want this guy?" Grim smiled faintly and stretched out his hand in a circle to create a circular surface in the air. The red fire elements converged to form a mirror surface, revealing a young witch who was bound and unable to move.

Looking at the appearance, the clothing, and the insignia, the bound Herculean was a 3rd rank dark witch.

"So it's Karin... "Cersei's face cleared, so she was surprised, "Lord Grim, why are you trapping the descendant of our family's witch. That...doesn't seem to be goodwill!"

Grim had been prepared for Cersei's disavowal.

"She was not captured by me going to your dark witch's land, but inside my witch tower. Is it true that your Excellency knows nothing of what she has done?"

Hearing that Grim's tone wasn't harsh, as if there was still room for bargaining, Cersei panicked, "She is a descendant of our family, placed in the middle of the continent for training. Perhaps she was ignorant and mistakenly entered your territory. How about this, what kind of loss does your Excellency have, we Dark Witches are willing to try our best to compensate, that's always fine, right?"

To the Dark Witch, Grim had no soft heart, and directly threw out a piece of parchment that listed out a dozen or so valuable high-level resources. They were all rare resources that were urgently needed for the blood sacrifice ceremony, but the Crimson Family was having trouble putting them together for the time being.

Although they had the intention to refuse and let the others continue to worry about these resources. However, the significance of a rank 3 Dark Witch to the family was also inexpressible. Especially at this time, when the family members had suffered huge losses, and then to lose a Tier 3 Witch because of a mere 'little' resource, even with Cersei's authority and strength, I'm afraid that she would have to face cross-examination and denunciation within the family.

Cersei raised her head once again, her black gaze gazing longingly at Grim through the dense black fog, and finally spoke.

"You release Karin and let her return to her station in the middle of the continent on her own, I will send the resources you need to you as soon as possible..."

The Hallowed Chieftain of the Dark Witch had personally spoken, this credibility Grim could still accept.

There was no nonsense, Grim single-handedly stroked, condensing a few flame runes flying straight into the fire mirror.

Soon, under the dispatch of the distant tower spirit, a team of high level magic weapons escorted the Karin witch directly out of the Flame Cave. After removing her witchcraft restraints, Karin took a long time to get up from the ground, had a look at the horrible place that made her drink her hatred and humiliation, turned around and disappeared into the darkness without a trace.

With a silent nod of her head, Cersei also hurriedly left the Tower of Fate.

After its departure, only then did Grim visualize Alice eagerly inquiring.

"Will this Moon Spring be able to compensate for your life source?"

When Alice saw his eager expression, her heart was slightly sweet and smiled delicately, "It's already enough. Don't forget, I've just progressed to the 4th level, and my life dimension is already much longer. And then with this Spring of the Moon to make up for the loss of the previous life source, restoring the life span that a 4th rank wizard should have is no problem!"

Receiving Alice's affirmative reply, Grim's heart was slightly relieved, which was why he was completely relieved.

After finishing joking with Grim, Alice gazed at the Fire God Pearl and Moon Spring floating in front of the two, Ug took a step forward.

With this step, the intricate witch array engraved on the floor of the Astrology Hall underfoot began to light up one after another, turning this place into a mysterious boat floating in the middle of the bright sea of stars in the blink of an eye.

The light in the hall darkened, the dark and deep night sky, a glorious star radiated endless starlight power, rendering this place into a mysterious and beautiful world.

Sometime later, Alice became fully armed.

She was holding the Scepter of Prophecy in one hand and the Hourglass of Time in the other, with a witch's mask on her face and a mercury belt wrapped around her waist. And around her body floated a beautifully patterned Fate card, unceasingly changing the contents of the deck.

At level 4, the Fate Witch also possessed some distinctive and bizarre abilities.

Although it wasn't called battle prowess, it could be considered a superb battle aid!

After the transformation, Alice's body also invisibly and rapidly expanded and grew, almost in the blink of an eye, becoming a beautiful goddess who was hundreds of meters tall and exuded mystery all over her body.

Her mind was embedded in the radiant and enchanting starry sky, holding her prophetic scepter aloft, chanting a mysterious and incomprehensible spell, and pointing a finger at the two artifacts, two soft starlight rays penetrated down from the pitch-black vault of the sky, transforming into an exquisite chain of starlight that wrapped them up.

In an instant, Grim lost his spiritual sense of the Fire God Pearl and the Moon Spring.

At the same time, in the distant depths of the starry sky, two furious spiritual fluctuations were abruptly emitted.

One violent and one clear, but both were so hateful.

The artifacts were sealed, and the origin sense between them and their original masters was much blurred.

This time, both the owner of the Fire God Pearl, Fire God Sinai, and the owner of the Moon Fountain, Moonlight God Miwi, had lost the last trace of connection with their artifacts.

In the future, even if they invited out the God of Prophecy, it would be difficult to find out from the depths of the starry sky where the artifacts were sealed!

The tall and towering Alice pushed with a single hand, and the sealed Fire God Pearl floated in front of Grim.

"The divine breath on the Fire God Pearl has been sealed by me, thus eliminating the trouble of the Fire God tracing its path. If you want to study the Fire God Pearl, you must open up a separate space. Before you actually control the Fire God Pearl, you must not bring it outside the independent space. Otherwise, that Fire God will be able to sense its location, as well as your soul's breath! At that time, I'm afraid the Crimson Family will have *something* to worry about..."

Grim laughed bitterly.

Was he in any less trouble than he was?

At least the current Flame Throne Sorcerer's Tower still had a Wisdom Sacred Book hidden inside it, and that was also a 'thief's booty' that couldn't see the light of day. Once the God of Wisdom sensed Grim's soul breath through the Sacred Book of Wisdom, even if he traveled to the ends of the earth, as soon as Grim left the blessing of the Wizard World, the other party would follow the trail and vow to teach him a lesson he would never forget.

As the saying goes, no worries with debt, no itch with lice!

The hatred Grim was now carrying was simply too much.

Honestly, an otherworldly Fire God couldn't scare him yet. Great for hundreds of years of not coming out of the Wizard World, he didn't believe that those gods would stare at him for the sake of a 'district' artifact.

Moreover, it was the Dark Witches who had stepped forward to rob the artifact, and to find, it was only right that the other party should find the Dark Witches first.

With this kind of strength, Grim became righteous.

Although he had the intention to stay and warm and cozy up to Alice, the Vulcan Pearl stirred his heart at all times, and he couldn't wait to claim it as his own.

The Vulcan Pearl could be different from that Shadow Jewel.

The Shadow Jewel's power attribute and Grim's did not match, and prolonged use of the Shadow Jewel would instead cause a certain degree of shadow infestation on Grim, with the loss outweighing the gain. The Fire God Pearl, on the other hand, was a 5th level artifact of the fire attribute, which was completely compatible with Grim's origin attribute.

As long as it was able to erase the brand of divine power left by the Fire God Sinai inside, Grim would be equal to reaching the heavens in one step, obtaining a true and unique origin artifact.

Such a good thing, I'm afraid that even those 5th rank witches would go crazy with jealousy!

After all, a 5th rank artifact or sorcerer, those 5th rank sorcerers wouldn't necessarily be able to possess all of them. What's more, it was a 5th-rank artifact that was perfectly in tune with their origin attribute, making the value of such an item even more difficult to estimate!

After a brief greeting with Alice, Grim happily grabbed the Fire God Pearl and returned to the Flame Throne.

The first thing he did when he returned here was naturally to open up an alien space independent of the Witch Tower.

With the constant supply of Witch Tower energy, Grim tore open a spatial rift and stabilized it, then slowly expanded and expanded until it became an alien space of about a hundred square meters.

Of course, Grim could expand this alien space even more if needed. But that would invariably take up too much of the Witch Tower's energy supply, so it would appear to be more than worth the loss.

As such, there were two different spaces anchored inside the Flame Throne Tower, one to store the Wisdom Sacred Book and the other to store the Fire God Pearl, both of which were Grim's most important treasures at the moment.

He, on the other hand, traveled around the two otherworldly spaces and several alchemy labs, and began to do his best to transform the arcane knowledge he had harvested some time ago into real and usable sorcery, filling in the gaps in his sorcery power.
