Age of Adepts

"Okay, a million and two is a million and two!"

At Grim's level, items that could be taken down with magic crystals were not a thing.

As soon as he heard how generous the other party was, the stall owner sorcerer's face stiffened, and not only was he not half happy, but he regretted it.

At this moment, he had already dared to assert that this black stone must be some kind of extremely special item of great value. And he really shouldn't have chosen to come to the market to hit his luck in order to save the three hundred thousand magic crystals for the appraisal fee.

"This... this lord, you... you might have misheard me, I... I just said three million magic crystals! " the vendor wizard couldn't help but stammer back.

"What did you say?" Grim's face paled and his eyes couldn't help but narrow.

A solemn and cold air instantly spread across the arena.

Three million magic crystals wasn't an astronomical price for Grim. If this vendor sorcerer had shouted three million the first time, Grim would have taken it without even a frown.

But now after the verbal transaction, the other party had 'righteously' gone back on his words, which was simply a barefaced smackdown of this great sorcerer of his.

"I... what I said originally was three... three million, you just heard wrong!" It is at this moment, the stall owner sorcerer also can only scalp to deny. While he was shouting, his heart was also screaming, "Don't be a great sorcerer, don't be a great sorcerer".

He couldn't tell Grim's true rank, so he treated him as a 4th rank with a hidden identity. Although the 4th rank wasn't easy to mess with either, with that patron behind him, it was still possible to force this matter down.

"I'll give you one more chance to think about your wording. If you want to violate the agreement, then don't blame me for being rude!" Grim smirked heedlessly.

And although the 'quarrel' between the two was not very noisy, it attracted quite a few wizards loitering in the market. Several of the approaching stall owners also had their arms around each other, looking like they wanted to watch the fun.

The large market naturally had law enforcement witches as well.

Soon, a group of 4th rank witches wearing golden robes and golden badges on their chests appeared in the crowd.

"What for? What are you all doing here? If you want to buy something, hurry up and buy it, if you don't, pack up and go back to rest..." the law enforcement sorcerer made his way through the crowd and came directly in front of the stall.

The stall owner sorcerer seemed to be an old fogey as well, rushing over and pulling the law enforcement sorcerer as the leader, sorcery passing the word without knowing what to say.

"Lord Qui?" The head law enforcement wizard was slightly startled and couldn't help but ask rhetorically, "How come I've never heard of Lord Qui having a brother like you?"

"Low profile... low profile... I've always been a low profile person, that's why I don't like to stir up trouble outside under the name of Lord Qui." The vendor wizard had a flattering face and kept on giving the other party a constant message explaining what was going on.

The head enforcer, while listening off to the side, swept his gaze towards Grim.

The moment his sight fell on Grim, the law enforcement leader was stunned, then rolled his eyes carefully and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

His rank was only 4th Intermediate, and he really couldn't see how high Grim's rank was.

"This one, I don't know what to call you?"

"Grim!"

"Why don't I just be a peacemaker and let the whole thing go."

"Forget it? How do you figure?" Grimson snickered, "I saw something I liked, negotiated a price, and he suddenly went back on his word. How do you account for this matter?"

"This lord, you should think carefully. The one standing behind him is that Lord Qui... a peak 4th rank... who killed two Orc Shaman and a Sword Saint in one breath on the bit battlefield some time ago, and those three are all peak 4th rank existences!"

With a 4th rank body, slaying three of the same rank, such a battle power could indeed be called brute tyranny. But trying to suppress a 5th rank Grand Sorcerer, such success was not nearly enough!

Grim didn't bother to talk nonsense to a few people, grabbing the black seed backhandedly, then took out a storage ring and tossed it to the vendor.

"1.2 million magic crystals, not a penny less, not a penny more, we're done!"

The stallholder seemed to feel backed up and actually grew bold enough to reach out and grab Grim by the sleeve, shouting, "Robbery! Get something!"

Grim's eyes flickered coldly, and the invisible barrier of flame on his body manifested itself in Ug. As soon as the vendor's right hand touched it, golden flames ignited with a soaring sound.

Ah........

The vendor wizard howled miserably and sharply, but could never shake off the golden flame that was burning persistently on his right hand, and was instead slowly extended upwards by it down his arm, with a great tendency to set his entire body on fire.

"Friend, you'd better leave your stuff behind! I've already informed Lord Qui, so if there are any conflicts, you can resolve them yourselves when he arrives. Is that okay?" The Enforcer Chief was obviously a shrewd person as well.

The more he looked at Grim, the more he felt that his origin was extraordinary, and thus he was reluctant to participate in this kind of unexplainable 'crap'. However, that Lord Qui was a top-tier existence within the entire 4th rank wizard.

If he allowed the other party to burn Lord Kuai's own brother to death, then he wouldn't be able to explain to Lord Kuai when he came to his door.

However, just as the crowd was stirring and tearing, a fierce and cold voice suddenly sounded from behind the crowd.

"Who is it? Who hurt my brother? I see you don't want to live..."

Hearing this voice, the crowd of onlookers split up, and from outside walked in a fierce, fierce, bald-headed man with two huge, exaggerated magical twin swords on his back. He was wearing a black leather trousers, the upper half of his body was tilted with Magic Dragon leather armor, and his body was coated with fancy indigo magic patterns.

His actions and mannerisms were filled with an endlessly tyrannical and cool atmosphere!

"It's Qui-sama!"

"Lord Qui is here, and this new wizard is going to have bad luck..."

Fine whispers were heard from the crowd gathered at the side, the words filled with fear and scruples of this super-powerful man.

Grim's face grew a little ugly.

The onlookers thought he was afraid, while only he knew that Grim totally felt like he had worn a new pair of shoes but stepped on a dog shit. As a hallowed Grand Sorcerer, it was simply disgraceful to be mixed up with such 'city hooligans'!

Maybe he shouldn't have hidden his identity in the first place.

That vendor wizard just had the guts to eat a bear's heart and didn't have the guts to rely on a great wizard, right!

Thus, Grim was extremely angry and turned his body to coldly examine this newly emerged 'Qui-sama'.

It had to be said that this Lord Qui was a pretty good seller.

Moreover, as a Body Refining Sorcerer, he had been able to fuse his will into his body and those two magical twin blades behind his back. Even within the pinnacle level 4 superpower, he could be considered a top-notch first-class existence.

As soon as this Lord Qui stepped into the scene, he saw the vendor wizard whose golden flames had burned up to his upper arm. With a fierce eyebrow, he split his hands, and the pair of magic daggers dense in turquoise cold appeared in his hands.

In the next second, the cold mane flashed, the right arm of the stall owner shaman broke at the same time, and his entire body flew out with a scream.

The severed right arm fell to the floor and instantly burst into flames, turning into a pile of ashes in almost no time at all.

The crowd of onlookers were surprised 'Huh' out loud, as if they didn't quite understand why this Lord Kuai had done it to his own brother as soon as he arrived. And only a handful of people vaguely guessed that there should be something odd about that flame, which forced the other party to cut off its path of extended burn.

Grim's eyes also flashed with a look of astonishment.

This 'Qui' indeed had a way of perceiving the vicious nature of the golden flame, and actually wanted to use his ferocious battle intent to cut off the hidden lock between the indestructible flame and the soul of that vendor sorcerer.

Unfortunately, his eyesight was still a bit poor.

He apparently did not notice that the golden flame was not driven by the power of laws at all, but rather the power of rules....

One word is a thousand miles away.

That's the difference between mortal and divine!

"Boy, don't get too crazy! If I want him dead, you won't be able to save him..." grunted Grim, snapping his fingers casually. The vendor sorcerer who had thrown himself against the wall and was struggling to get up had a red glow on his flesh and blood broken arm, and the golden flames burned again as if they had emerged from the void.

This was not an exaggeration on Grim's part.

With his current strength, killing a 3rd rank sorcerer was as easy as squeezing an ant. It was just that being in a foreign battlefield, he didn't want to take things too far, which was why he used the Indestructible Flame to slightly punish him.

Unfortunately, however, the year-round killer, Qui, had apparently been overwhelmed by the raging battle spirit. He actually shouted, "How dare you!", and waved his magical daggers at Grim.

In the middle of his journey, the turquoise blade swung, and Qui's figure disappeared without a trace.

The other side still dared to take the initiative....

At this moment, Grim had also become intolerable, and the huge and vast burning will of his body emitted Ug, instantly enveloping a spatial area of more than ten meters around him.

That Qui had just flashed to a place less than 5 meters behind Grim, and was pushed out of the interdimensional layer by an irresistible and powerful force.

He wielded his magical twin swords filled with wild tyranny, and put on a fierce appearance of claws and teeth, as if he was about to break through Grim's defense and slice him in half in the next moment.

But unfortunately, that was the end of his attack!

A mysterious and inexplicable chain of flames reached out from the depths of the void and quickly moved around his body, entangling him so tightly that he couldn't move. And that terrifying burning will transmitted through the rule level to his body, surprisingly bursting its vigorous and soaring battle intent as nourishment as well.

"Ah..." only now did Qui know that something big was wrong, and his berserk eyes widened, shouting violently, "You... you're rank 5! "

5th Order....Grand Wizard....

The crowd of onlookers only seemed to realize that something was wrong at this point and backed away to avoid it.

The vendor sorcerer was even more blood faded and fell to his knees, the small half of his body had begun to burn.
