Age of Adepts

Silver Alliance, Sky City.

The Prophet's Gauntlet was one of the most central areas above the Sky City, and its every move naturally affected the nerves of the Silver Alliance's top brass.

The news of the great move of the Scroll Scholar Eagle Group was placed on the Alliance Speaker's table in less than half a quarter of an hour, and his appearance couldn't help but turn solemn.

While Alliance Speaker Salvini still maintained his human form, his skin took on a pale gold color that resembled softened metal. His every movement was somewhat sluggish and sluggish, and from time to time there were strange sounds from within his body as the magic machinery operated.

As a mechanical sorcerer of the highest level of equivalency, Alliance Speaker Salvini's mechanical transformation of his body had reached an astonishing level. Now, rather than being a mechanical sorcerer, it was more accurate to say that he was a strange metallic being.

"Eagle Group... all hands on deck..."

Salvini spread the parchment scroll with stiff fingers and slowly read the report that slowly surfaced on it.

"Those curmudgeons on the Prophet's High Tower, they've been pushing back every time we've requested access to the intelligence information inside. It's not that the secret of the order can't be leaked, or that the information we've accessed is too sensitive, and every time they let our people return without success. Hmph, the Alliance provides them with so many magic crystals every year, but they are not willing to give any contribution at all, what a shame!" The Alliance Deputy Speaker next to him, Meloni, who had also transformed himself into a hodgepodge of bizarre magic weapons, complained hatefully.

Salvini shook his head and laughed, "Stop complaining! Both of us are high up in the alliance, in charge of the entire Sky City, and appear to be in great shape. But we know in our hearts that it's all just a lie. At the very least, we don't control the three most important parts of the Sky City: the Prophet's Tower, the Whirlpool Tower and the Obelisk. If it weren't for the older chancellors who fought to the death, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to get our hands on the Mechanical Mysteries..."

Deputy Speaker Meloni, still somewhat indignant, gritted his teeth, "How about we suspend the Prophet's Gauntlet's magic crystal support and force them to make concessions?"

Hearing this 'bad idea', Salvini shook his head even faster.

"The Prophet's Gauntlet is a mysterious place left behind by the older generation inside the Alliance, completely out of the control and management of the Alliance Council. Do you know that when the last old chancellor handed over to me, he repeatedly instructed that the supply of resources to these secret places must not be cut off under any circumstances, and that he must not interfere or interfere with their operation in any way..."

Still hearing the news for the first time, Melony was startled by the news and ate, "So what he means is..."

"The old Speaker's meaning has been clearly expressed. The most important thing above this Sky City is not us, nor the ones outside, but these secret places. The reason why the first generation's Alliance Council spent a huge amount of resources and manpower to build the Sky City was not to show off our power, but to guard these secret places."

"So, to put it politely, we are not the owners of this place, but merely a group of guardians!"

"........"

There was an embarrassing silence and speechlessness.

It was a long time before Deputy Speaker Meloni spoke again.

"So what do you think of this incident?"

"Those scroll scholars have never been secretive and tight lipped. And the only thing that can arouse their interest is the big events happening all over the bit, and it's the kind of big event that can affect the entire development process of the bit... So, they're bound to have something big happen this time when they make a big move. By the way, have they figured out the direction they're going?"

"Figured it out, seems to be the middle of the continent!"

"The middle of the continent? What's been going on there lately? Tell Rokin to immediately send over all the information from the middle of the continent over the years, we need to review it carefully. Perhaps, we can find some clues from there..."

"Understood, I'll tell him to send the information over..."

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

The Flame Throne.

Grim, who had never liked to be involved in too many mundane matters, left the Witchcraft Academy to a group of men, and then hid himself within the Witch Tower to begin a new round of witchcraft research.

At his level, all the research actually couldn't bypass the bizarre existence of rules. And as a 4th level sorcerer, it was too much to study the rules directly, which was why he could only lower his standards a little and began to deeply analyze the various strange bits of laws that made up the rules.

And the benefits that studying the rules could bring him were too many.

Not to mention the various bizarre sorcery effects brought by these Laws of Flame, the Laws of Flame themselves were the ladder for him to advance to the 5th level.

In the past, Grim was completely unfamiliar with the power of the Laws, so naturally, he had one to count on and was never willing to give up any of the Flame Laws. However, after going through the last Law Rune enhancement, as well as the refining process of the Rule Fire obtained from the Flame Monarch, it was only then that Grim was able to fully and completely understand the power of the Laws for the first time.

Not all Laws of Flame are right for you.

The only viable path to a smoother future and a more powerful future self is to carefully choose the Law of Flame that is right for you!

Not knowing how to give and take, and always being greedy for more, I'm afraid this is the common problem of most elemental sorcerers.

After all, not everyone is gifted enough to be able to choose the Elemental Laws they want. Although the creation of the Elemental Laws had a great deal to do with the direction of a sorcerer's research, there were still many unexpected factors that were beyond human control.

Therefore, it is difficult for most elemental shamans to push their spiritual power to the 50 point limit before the end of their lives, and then fuse multiple elemental laws to form their own unique rule power.

Many more 4th level Elemental Shamans were unable to accomplish such a huge amount of power accumulation and had to use special resources such as Source Material to shorten this process of comprehending the Laws. The power of the rules brought by source prime was often random and difficult to control.

Even if an Elemental Sorcerer who relied entirely on source material to build up their strength was lucky enough to advance to the 5th rank, they would still be the weakest group of 5th rank Grand Sorcerers.

Most of the 7th and 8th rank Grand Sorcerers inside the Sorcerer's camp were almost all Ancient Sorcerers, and over the past 10,000 years, there were fewer and fewer new Sorcerers who were able to reach this level. The reason for this was the trouble caused by the source quality.

The consequence of wanting to save trouble and take shortcuts was that their natural potential was greatly diminished, and their own potential was burned cleanly by the source quality early on.

It was because of this dual nature of source material that the camps controlled the inflow of source material to prevent too many witches from forcibly using source material to elevate their ranks.

In the eyes of those great sorcerers, the birth of a 6th stage great sorcerer was far more significant than ten 5th stage great sorcerers who had been forcibly elevated.

Inside a brightly lit alchemy lab, Grim was standing pestle by pestle in front of the alchemy table, meticulously mixing the alchemical solution in front of him.

Blue Gold, Haorite, Luminous Stone, Sunflower, Snake Hemp Grass, Blood of the Mountains... more than a dozen exceptionally precious sorcery materials were treated in separate categories and fused into the alchemical solution.

"Snake Hemp Grass, crushed and juiced... Thirteen layers of filtration and purification, refined into 50 grams of liquid solution... to be heated and processed... "

"Luminite, broken and sifted...purified and quenched of all impurities and ground into a granular powder...mixed with a solution of serpentine, a trace amount of energy blending agent added, mixed well.... ..."

"The blood of the mountains...."

"........"

The alchemy of the Wizard World is a strange kind of magical chemical reaction, and unlike on Earth in the past, every step of the operation and every chemical reaction here involves various kinds of magical particles.

Magic and chemistry blended together to form a completely unique way of creating alchemy!

And these solutions that Grim had so painstakingly created had a base value of over 30,000 magic crystals per hundred grams. And their function was to simulate the reproduction of the drop of Jeladin's original blood stored in Grim's mind.

Geraldine, a 4th rank elemental sorcerer of the Sorcerer's Association, affinity for the element of light....

And after his origin blood was parsed by Grim on the spot, it was broken down into countless tiny and fragmented pieces of data stored in his mind. And now, Grim was trying to use the chip's powerful replication ability to use these sorcerer resources to recreate that drop of origin blood.

The data was there, and the chip's ability was powerful enough, but it was still difficult to replicate the original blood of a 4th stage Elemental Sorcerer.

The hardest part, of course, was the choice of blood material!

After more than half a year of repeated experiments and constant screening, Grim finally had a good result. A hint of excitement also emerged on Grim's face when the drop of milky alchemical solution was finally suspended in front of it.

"Chip, do a final test on the finished product!"

"Drip, full testing has begun..."

"The solution is a high purity light element polymer..."

"Solution activity as expected..."

"The energy characteristics are as expected..."

"The energy concentration is slightly attenuated, 3% below expectations..."

"Radiation intensity is slightly high, but still within a reasonable fluctuation range..."

"The energy law breath is strong, and is expected to possess 76% of the power of the blood body..."

"........"

A single, itemized test indicator instantly brushed Grim's mind, but he ignored it all and looked directly at the final conclusion of the test.

"The solution possesses light elemental law power, capable of reaching 76% of the sample subject's elemental power, to form an independent and complete energy circulation circuit, it is expected to be manufactured to produce 7,200 grams... Please name the solution for the subject!"

"Water of the Sun!"

"Drops, the new solution, Water of the Sun, has been named and is being generated in bulk... Estimated completion time: 72 hours, 34 minutes, 58 seconds..."

The first drop of the Water of the Sun was the hardest to manufacture, and when it was successfully completed, the processing of the rest could be left to the Tarin independently.

Grim breathed a sigh of relief at that, and began to turn his attention to other experiments.
