Age of Adepts

The ship quickly paddled across the sky, dragging cloud-shaped jet air particles behind the ship.

Things on the ground, whether people or things, become a little black dot. Grimm lived in a magical swamp for six years, and at this moment it looks like nothing more than a shattered pond full of clouds.

After spending too much time in the magic marshes, Grimm has become a little stranger to life on the outside.

As the ship rose to flight altitude, Grimm adhered to the side of the ship and had been able to see clearly the vast area surrounding it, which was nearly a hundred miles wide. In addition to the magical marshes covered under heavy fog, three or two human towns and a small town were seen in the surrounding Grimm.

The dark earth and green oiled wheat fields are clearly visible, with a finger-sized mill and windmill dotted in between. On the silver belt-like road, you can see a fleet the size of an ant.

The way forward for the ship is to the south.

The further we go there, the more green the earth is, the fewer signs of human activity. In the vicinity of every human gathering point, Grimm sees a series of dense forests and the lively scenes of wolves running around inside.

This is actually the current state of the wizard continent.

There are endless primitive forests and barbaric jungles in the vicinity of every human gathering point, where countless beasts, warcraft and monsters live. Ordinary beast warcraft, human force in the colonies may still be able to fight, but if you encounter those strange monsters, you must have a stronger power to guard them.

And this guardian power is the wizard.

As a powerful individual with extraordinary power, the wizard is the true master of the earth. Though they crossed the official witch threshold, they were already vastly separated from ordinary human beings in terms of kinship. But in order to guard the source of the community of wizards, most wizards are still willing to contribute part of their power to allow mankind to continue to live and thrive on this continent.

Ordinary human societies are like sheep in captivity, and wizards are like high shepherds, guarding their pastures with a view to joining their ranks with a constant flow of fresh blood. Don't look. Wizard apprentices like Grimm already have powerful, mysterious, weird colors in the eyes of ordinary mortals, but in the eyes of official wizards, they are still worthless ants.

As long as they do not cross that threshold in a day, they are still not living individuals comparable to formal wizards, but simply a simple name and number.

For the first time, a sense of impulse and oppression emerged in Grimm's heart to try to become stronger.

What he did before, although he worked hard, was more of a habit and external pressure. Today, instead, he has an impulse to become stronger from the depths of his heart.

This is a strange world of mysterious Xuan Ao, completely different from the planet he lived on in his previous life. On Earth, the power of the individual is insignificant, and only by the strength of the group can it grow continuously. But here, where the magic ocean is filled with heaven and earth, the power of the individual is multiplied by a thousand times. Things that were previously impossible on Earth have endless possibilities here.

For the first time, Grimm couldn't help but want to stand at the top of the world on his own to see what the world really looks like. Perhaps this is the will of the great world to bring him from the low demonic earth into the high demonic world.

The cold wind whistled through the side of the boat.

Although the bow is protected by wind barriers that keep apprentices away from cold winds, the temperature on the deck remains low.

Grimm was only 5 points old and obviously couldn't resist the outside temperature alone, so she had to stretch her robe desperately. And Mary is still wearing the signature thin red veil dress, with a large white skin exposed without a slight chill.

Wizard apprentices are basically unaffected by the season as long as they are over 10. The bitter cold wind blowing on Grimm may seem like just a slightly cooler breeze to Mary the Red. And beyond 15 points, even the general extreme environment is no longer forbidden for them.

As for over 20 points, that is the level of terror that can be achieved by the Refinery Wizard. It's really going to be that step, throwing it into underground lava or extreme cold abyss, and it's hard to kill them completely.

Wizards have undergone a qualitative change compared to their apprentices, and their vitality has been elevated to such an extent that it is difficult to spy on them. Although roads are different, traceability is a deep excavation of power. It's just that refining wizards are more physical and powerful, while rule wizards are pursuing spiritual power.

For the first time, the scenery outside the boat seemed very exciting and beautiful, but there was always a moment of aesthetic fatigue when it was seen too much. So Grimm spreads a felt and invites Mary to sit down with him, while he takes advantage of the silent gauge of the people on the boat.

There was a feeling on the boat earlier that he was the only junior apprentice on this deck. Now through passive exploration of elemental vision, he immediately gained a more intuitive sense of vision.

Among the dense and numb crowds, there are starkly dangerous red flashes, several of whom have even reached an extremely dangerous state of purple redness.

The chip in Grimm's mind quickly figured out the specific data.

There are 317 Wizard Apprentices on deck, of whom 11 are Associate Witches, 92 are Advanced Apprentices, and the rest are Intermediate Apprentices. Well, Grimm, another junior apprentice, needs to be excluded.

These quasi-witches are the big characters in the apprenticeship community, each surrounded by a large group of disgusting speculators. But these quasi-warriors are insensitive to each other, they are clear to each other, well water does not offend river water, and they do not like to interact with their peers.

It's understandable, too.

When they get to this point, if they can get past that terrible threshold, they can climb one step at a time and become the ones who are above the arrogant people. As for the sorcerer apprentices surrounding them, they will soon become disgusting mosquito flies.

Even if they are quasi-witches of the same rank, they are reluctant to communicate with each other in advance. After all, the witchcraft ritual of advanced wizards is still quite risky. In case the prospective wizards who like to associate themselves do not have advanced success, the previous emotional investment has hit the water drift. By then, one is a wizard, one is an apprentice, so what can continue to be the basis for equal interaction?

And real dating can be done after advanced wizards, I'm sure no new wizard will refuse to be friendly at that time!

So under the psychological influence of this arrogant narcissism, the 11 quasi-witch parties did not have any intention of talking and communicating. In contrast, at the senior apprenticeship level, there is a stark contrast between the degree of thermal networking.

In a small and large circle, the most intense and frequent exchanges have been with this group of senior apprentices. A larger number of intermediate apprentices, however, are mostly silent or accompanied by acoustic harmony, like the green leaves that support the presence of saffron, small and blind.

In contrast, Mary, the redcoat sitting on her knees by Grimm's side, has become the best person in everyone's eyes, and even some male quasi-watches are spying on her.

A high-ranking female apprentice of such great stature, even if she looks cold and arrogant, still attracts many male apprentices to look here frequently.

“Aren't you going to make some friends?” Grimm smiled softly: “I can see they're dying to talk to you! ”

Mary in red opened her blue eyes and looked around, grinning with disdain: "Too bad I'm not interested in their filthy blood, or I'll let them know what blood queen is passionate about! ”

“Blood queen? Is that the name you named yourself?” Grimm laughed softly: “That's very fitting. I just don't know if I'd be honored to experience it. ”

“You?” Marie's icy eyes fell over Grimm's side face: “Then you really need to work very hard! ”

Then Marie stretched out and lay on her side beside Grimm, pillowing on his thighs, began the daily routine she needed - meditation.

“Cough!” Grimm sighed.

He heard very clearly that the words were absolutely true of Mary in red.

Since the day they entered the Wizard's Path, their status has been measured by their naked strength. Even looking for a lover, even if Mary in red had a crush on him, Mary was still reluctant to look for a “partner” weaker than herself when the power of the difference lay in front of her.

Grimm had a feeling that if she took the initiative, Marie wouldn't mind being her bedtime partner. But when there is a real need to find a companion that can last a lifetime, a weak person like Grimm is never in her choice.

The cold reality diluted the beauty's beauty in her arms, Grim shook her head and smiled bitterly, pulling out a book from her arms and looking carefully and carefully.

In this high-profile situation, deep meditation is never appropriate, so Mary Redcoat isolates herself with meditation to avoid the hassle of forced refusal, which is also a good option. But in this way, Grimm can only act as a temporary flower protector and bear the hostility of the crowd with a hard scalp.

The evil worm Ntik, who accompanied them, also searched nearby for a position to sit on the tray leg and his hood drooped so low that his expression could not be seen.

Ultimately, there was not much hatred between him and Grimm, just a temporal battle to trap Grimm. If Ntick hadn't promised to protect his safety, new apprentice Ellen wouldn't dare to mess with Mary in red.

And the evil worm Ntik may have no direct feelings about this deadly hatred.

In his mind, it was just a roadside ant that had been strangled by hand, and it was not worth remembering. Perhaps by the time this mission is completed and we return to the Swamp Tower, the figure named Grimm will have vanished and will never appear again.

So for Ntick, Grimm is not his enemy at all, and only that red Mary is eligible.
