Age of Adepts

After being seated separately in the hall, Saints couldn't help but ask.

"Tell me, what is it that you came to see me about?"

"I would like to ask for an audience with the Grand Wizard of Sarupo!" Since the other side had asked, Grim naturally opened the door.

Seemingly anticipating this, this lean and dry little old man couldn't help but sneer gloomily.

"Lord Sarupo is different from us, he has already left the camp and has his own secret realm all to himself. I'm afraid it's not that easy to contact him!"

"But His Excellency is certain to be able to contact him, is he not?" Grim smiled heedlessly.

Saints looked Grim up and down with a good eye and finally couldn't help but sigh again, "I never thought Lord Sarupo would look the other way, otherwise how could he let a good character like you slip through his hands!"

"Not that these are anything to talk about. It's just that there were some misunderstandings and friction in the early years, so I wanted to take this opportunity to reconcile."

"Jie Jie Jie... Those little things that happened inside the bit are still worth the trip you took yourself. You've still just advanced to Grand Sorcerer and can't understand the thoughts of the big people. For people like us, the so-called strengths are those powers that can be truly controlled. As for the Sorcerer World... Jie Jie, under the rejection of that damn Sorcerer's will, there's not much we can interfere with."

"But the Sorcerer's World is the origin of the Sorcerers, after all, isn't it?"

"Yes, yes, yes...you're right indeed! But you don't simply think that the entire wizard camp relies on the wizarding world to produce a great wizard every few hundred years to support the consumption of the bit war, do you?"

"You know, but our witch camp is at war with those gods, dragons, demons, and eye demons every minute of the day. Relying on only one main plane of the Witch World won't be able to support it no matter what."

"Therefore, those superior sorcerers still hold some master planes in their hands that are comparable to the Sorcerer World. It is precisely the constant output of these master planes that ensures that the witch camp always possesses the great strength to deter their enemies."

Grim listened quietly.

Having crossed the 4th level, the life dimension was different from the past and he was also qualified to access these true hidden secrets. Listening to the other party's words as if they were gossip, Grim could feel that the curtain that covered the world's true front was slowly pulling away.

A new world that was completely different from past perceptions was also leaping out.

"Every 5th rank Grand Sorcerer who stepped out of the Bit World would stay at the Out-of-Territory Camp for a long time, why? On the one hand, there is no place to go, not yet qualified to build your own wizard's secret. On the other hand, it's also adapting... adapting to a new body, a new soul, and also adapting to a new perception."

"I know that for you to have crossed to the 5th rank at such a young age, you must have experienced the foul and brutal bitterness of the quest. But becoming a Grand Sorcerer, you're going to look at the world, the bits, and the resources differently than before."

"I'm afraid that most of the bits you've experienced and conquered in the past were small and medium-sized bits. The native creatures there are either foolish and slow, or empty of great power but without the ability to match it..."

"So fighting an enemy like this, even if the other side tangles up hundreds or thousands of times their army, in your eyes, it's just a bunch of imaginary lambs. Give you time, give you space, and even if you are at an absolute disadvantage and in danger, you are confident that you will be able to drag them down and kill them..."

"Why? What gives you such strength and confidence?"

Listening to Saints' questioning, Grim pondered, "The positional advantage...the equivalency advantage...the knowledge advantage..."

"Good, it's these things that give you plenty of confidence. In your eyes, the other side is a bunch of lambs. Although some of them have horns and claws, it still doesn't change their nature as lambs. And we... are vicious wolves! They are the prey, and we are the predators... It's not up to us to decide, but the disparity between each other's bit worlds."

"It's conceivable that if their world is more powerful than ours, they won't let go of this opportunity to loot their resources and population. The Sorcerer World is just a large master plane, and to become a mega-large plane like the Abyssal Plane or the Calamity Plane, there are simply too many resources needed..."

"And in the process, the enemies we face are no longer just some inferior planes that are weaker than us as they were in the past. The great sorcerers are often facing large bits that are of sufficient bit level to be comparable to the sorcerer's world. And the war between large bits and large bits is in no way comparable to the small bit wars you've experienced in the past..."

"So, the Out-of-Territory Camp is a novice camp reserved for the 5th rank Grand Sorcerers who have just stepped out of the Bit World to gather resources and familiarize themselves with the environment of a large Bit War. Oh, we, in the eyes of those upper level witches, are just a bunch of rookies who have just reached adulthood, but have yet to sharpen their claws and fighting skills."

Grim's body shook slightly, and a complicated and indecipherable strange look appeared on his face.

The Saints Wizard, however, was still laughing strangely as he continued to instill these cruel truths that he had never imagined in the past.

"You should not be discouraged either. Almost every newly promoted 5th ranked wizard has to go through some mental and physical adjustment. Within the bit, you are the most powerful person who has whirled around and said one thing. But here, you're still just a new recruit with a little more power."

"But don't be dismayed, at least compared to those low-level wizards, we're still considered the stalwarts inside the camp. Those upper-ranked ones won't consume us so easily!"

After hearing this thrilling description, Grim took a deep breath and couldn't help but inquire with curiosity, "Sir Saints, you have recounted so much valuable information to me, for?"

"Jie Jie, I'm just trying to tell you that what you think of as those intra-domain conflicts is a fart in the eyes of a 6th rank Grand Sorcerer. He's busy fighting those large bits all day long, so how can he have the effort and thought to worry about those bullshit backwards stove things within the bit plane."

Grim pondered for a moment and asked, "Since the bit quest is so dangerous, are there any great sorcerers who don't like war and thus don't participate in it?"

"Jeez, of course I have! You didn't see a dozen or so 5th Order lying in the Out-of-Domain camp, they don't leave their doors every day, they just stay in the camp to collect some resources, with idle positions attached to them, and spend the whole day engaging in their own research and experiments."

"Then... will those superior sorcerers compulsorily restrain them from participating in the bitter war?"

"Hey, that's not going to happen! After all, each witch's direction of strengthening and personal preferences were also different, and they couldn't be forced to do anything. However, for those witches who are adept at killing and conquering, actively participating in a bit war organized by a superior wizard may be the fastest way to strengthen themselves."

"Take this Esoda camp we're in, for example! The true possessor is the 7th rank Grand Sorcerer Lord Irunwald, and the one he chose to join is Lord Barbara, who is currently fighting mainly on the Beast God's side, and I hear the fight is quite intense..."

"What do you mean... only those 8th Order Grand Sorcerers are qualified to declare war on some large power, and then he'll gather some Grand Sorcerers to fill out the ranks as the main force of the war." Grim asked.

"Good!" Saints nodded, "The so-called large-scale bit wars are not just limited to one or two bits, but a vast and terrifying war that stretches across dozens or even hundreds of bits. In order to strike the enemy to the greatest extent possible, all wars will be waged from the outer planes, destroying the enemy's resource, war and faith planes with a tidal wave offensive..."

"When that time comes, these little guys out there will be the cannon fodder of the war, and we, the centerpiece of it. It will either be used to destroy long-suffering bit barriers, or to counteract the enemy's equal power..."

"So, you can imagine the millions and millions of Gryphons fighting inside the bit plane. And on the outside of the bit, a dozen or so 5th rank great sorcerers were fighting against the Beast God genus or bilocations... That scene, after experiencing it once, will definitely make you never forget it!"

After a long while, Grim finally shook his head and laughed bitterly, "Your Excellency has said so much to me, so it seems to have a purpose."

"Jie Jie, I'm glad you understand!" Saints grinned grimly, "The battle is very tense on Lord Barbara's side, and she is still a bit short-handed. Therefore, various conscription orders have been passed to the various camps. You can choose to participate or not, and still enjoy absolute freedom."

"However, before refusing, I hope you will still be able to look at the terms of the conscription..."

With that, Saints pulled out a summoning crystal and tossed it to Grim.

Grim took it and slowly probed his mental energy into it.

In the next second, aided by the chip, the huge stream of data inside was easily extracted.

"Battle of the Felled Beast: Wizard Calling Order."

"Called for: 5th and 6th rank Grand Wizard."

"Mission content: to ensure a smooth attack on the Western Front!"

"Mission Initiator: the Grand Wizard of Irunwald..."

"Quest rewards: 2 small resource slots, 1000 sith of source material, 1 5th level material (of your choice), 30,000 exotic slaves, the spoils captured during the war belong to the individual..."

In addition to the simple to the extreme conditions of the quest, it was more of a description of the current course of the entire Beast Slaying Campaign. The Grand Sorcerer recruitment initiated this time was of a voluntary nature. The recruited Grand Sorcerers were mainly responsible for following the Grand Sorcerer of Ehrenwald on the Western Front, destroying all the bits that believed in the Beast God along the way.

Of course, the main force attacking the bits were still those 3rd and 4th level little guys and the overwhelming army of witches and witch beasts. The purpose of the existence of the Grand Sorcerers was to prevent the attacking forces from being attacked by the opposing super-order forces.
