Age of Adepts

The darkness of a dark pit can never be calm.

Because most of the area here has only been roughly surveyed, even those indigenous peoples who have been mixed up in the underground world do not have completely reliable maps.

Underground tunnels tend to stretch for miles, sometimes swelling out caves thousands of feet wide, and sometimes shrinking so narrowly that cavemen can't get past them. The largest cave hall is a microcosm of the surface, with hills, valleys, underground rivers and lakes. In this three-dimensional environment, most races can use cave tops and cave walls to travel freely inside with natural or magical flights, floats, or riding on walls (such as giant spiders and certain types of lizards).

As the only city built in the underground world by a surface-exiled sorcerer, the location of Eternal City is extremely confidential. With rock formations filled with peculiar metallic ingredients that can isolate undesirable exploration from the outside world, coupled with dark creatures, puppet creatures and underground indigenous peoples that are spread out in dark deep caves, tunnels, it is extremely difficult for outsiders, without the inhabitants of Extraordinary City, to find that only path to Extraordinary City from the myriad winding dark pits.

It has also been said that the powerful second-degree fallen wizard of Eternity City has set up a huge illusion sorority outside the city, able to erase the traces of Eternity City from the deepest part of the tunnel. So that even if an enemy really breaks in here, let him walk through all the underground tunnels and never find the location of Eternal City.

Elysium, Cat Ear Tavern.

As the giant flame stones hanging high at the top of the cave began to extinguish, the night of the underground world descended.

For the corrupt wizards living underground, without a clear distinction between day and night, without a reference to the passage of time, their lives will become cloudy and difficult to arrange in a regular manner. So continuing with some of the habits of the surface, powerful and resourceful wizards took a lot of flaming stones from the depths of the ground, and then controlled them with their arrays to perish according to the time laws of the surface.

Using this technique, the City of Eternal Love brought together a large number of hopeless wizard apprentices, making them the first inhabitants of the place to fall apart.

When the night fell, starlit torches and bonfires lit up on the streets and alleys of Jereux City, and the doorways of Cat Ear Tavern set off dim butter lights.

Pushing through the old dirty half-door door, Langdon walked into the tavern with a sinister face. As soon as he entered the door, the noise rushed to his frown.

It's about 7pm in Grand Los Angeles, but the tavern is already packed with alcoholics of all shapes. Looking at it, there are basically one or two representatives of the famous race underneath, which of course is limited to the lower levels.

It is unlikely that some lower creatures, such as claw monsters and petrified lizards, will ever be able to possess residential status in Eternal City, but most of them are subordinates or intelligent races with the appearance of humans. Like lizards, jackals, underground dwarves, mind catchers, rats...

Watching a group of big, upright mice roam in front of themselves, looking at a furry ugly face, don't mention the smell in Langdon's heart. After all, he is a pure human being.

Ordinary humans certainly cannot survive in the rave of demonic cities, but Colandon is fearless and can even kick the rat who blocks his way. And he was able to do it all because he was a wizard apprentice, a quasi-woman.

In the city of Eternal Love, leaving aside the little witch lords, quasi-witch corrupt apprentices like him are the number one figures in the city. Wherever you go, there will be countless underground indigenous initiatives to clear the way.

A pale blue apprenticeship robe filled with the elusive golden symbols of Xuan Ao, walking as the power of the symbol diminishes adds a magical and mysterious colour to it. Pretty handsome figure, elegant attitude, which gives Langdon a completely different and noble character. Unfortunately, once elegant, he can now squeeze out almost all the ink in his gloomy face.

The rat who kicked out of the way completely ignored the other party's squeaky protest. Langdon walked to the counter and shouted loudly at the thick counter.

“Give me a bottle of spirits! ”

The hustle and bustle of the pub was instantly silent.

Slowly, old John, who wiped the glass in the counter, rolled his eyelids and mumbled a few words in his mouth. The big hand, rough as a carrot, gently grabbed a bottle of wine from under the counter and pushed it along the smooth table.

Remove the bottle plug and start swinging in the tavern with the essence of the hot smell, countless furry faces sniffing in the fierce nose lifting, the gleaming mouth begins to flow.

Langdon, who had been rarely drunk, gasped heavily, staring into his bloody eyes, lifting his neck and pouring it into his mouth. Spicy, fiery liquor instantly poured into his five dirty hearts, causing him to lean over and cough up loud and dry.

Splashing wine stains flying in the air.

He coughed up most of the spirits he drank in.

The rats, dressed in worn cloth and mimicking human walks, immediately swarmed up, lying on the ground, stretching out their wet big tongues and licking the wine stains on the stone floor. Don't look at them as human beings in plain sight, but as soon as they encounter this pecuniary benefit, they immediately discard their disguised appearance and reveal once again the nature of their lower intelligent creatures.

Extraordinary City management is too strict, only intelligent creatures can be residents of it, and there must be a human appearance. In order to be able to mix identities here, a number of rats, jackals and lizards can only wear dirty cloth that they don't know from which dump, stand up and take strange steps and dress themselves up as a subhuman.

In this small city ruled by corrupt wizards, they simply have no means or means of earning a living by checking out the garbage they discard. Of course, they can make themselves more comfortable by doing some more dark business like thieving petty touches.

Watching ugly rats in front of them even beat and tore to compete for some of their own vomit, Landon biting his teeth had to kill them all with acid marshmallows.

I am a noble apprentice with the ability to attain the rank of quasi-woman. I can't believe I've fallen all day with such a bunch of demons! An unspeakable sadness and resentment made it difficult for him to quench the anger in his chest, and Langdon drank the rest of the spirits from his neck, tossing a magic crystal and walking out of the tavern.

“What's wrong with this Lord Landon? Is this an anomaly or is this the first time you've seen it?” In the dark corner, two shadows in a quiet conversation.

“What, you don't know?” One of the shadows whispered, “The other half of him heard something. ”

“Demon Vine?” Another shadow shouted suddenly: “Did you say something happened to the Demon Vine? ”

“Shut up...” The first shadow wandered around in alarm and saw that no one had noticed them, which was why he whispered: “You've just come back from the west and don't know what's going on. The east side has been a lively few days. I heard that several quasi-watches have fought there, and even the tunnel has collapsed several floors. ”

“Did you just say the Demon Vine is dead? Who killed him? ”

“Who else? Dead in the hands of those bastards on the surface, of course. I heard that the surface wizards were eating up and doing nothing, and sent a team of apprentices here to rob us of our resources. The Demon Vine woman died in the hands of these newcomers. It is said that…” The shadow circle looked around and quietly lowered its voice: “It is said to have died in the hands of a junior apprentice named Grimm! She...”

The shadow's words were not finished, and its voice was submerged by a loud crackling sound. The stone walls beside them were suddenly pierced by a horrible fist, which burst into a large hole.

A huge figure more than 3 meters tall broke in, one hand at a time, and Harson picked up two whisperers hiding in the shadows.

The burning fireplace in the house illuminated the shape of two shadows, two jackals.

“Fucking inferior creatures, even if you're allowed to talk about me in secret? I hate hearing the name Grimm, who dares to say it again, that's what happens! ”

With the fury and roar of the tall adult, the power of blue ice and snow converged in his palms, and froze the two jackals into a human ice sculpture between his breaths. Then, as the tall adult fell, the ice sculpture suddenly crumbled on the floor in the middle of the tavern, and along with the meat inside, it broke into a full of ice slag.

“You fucking scum, you're all good to me. I don't want anyone to mention that fucking name again! If anyone else can't remember that, me, Landon, will use death to remind it!” The quasi-will Langdon, who became a horror giant, growled angrily.

“Grimm! You bloody bastard, I'll be waiting for you in the dark underground...”

…………

Grimm has been so busy these days knowing nothing about what's going on in the far underground world.

He has read all the books from the Marsh Tower, and all that remains is a protracted accumulation of witchcraft knowledge and witchcraft model analysis.

Grimm is a hundred times more passionate about his first defensive witchcraft to be harvested.

Flame Shield, the first defensive witchcraft he chose for himself. But in order to put it in the bag, Grimm must first integrate four to five basic disciplines of witchcraft and a great deal of witchcraft knowledge. From "Characteristics of Fire Element Particles" to "Regular Arrangement of Elemental Energy", from "The Role of Spiritual Elements in Witchcraft" to "Flame Shield Shaping"...

Chief Lin Lin, there are dozens of sorcery knowledge and techniques that Grim needs to master in advance. Although he has chip aids, trying to understand them all remains a very difficult task.

However, according to the chip calculations and estimations, Grimm was pleased to learn that he was able to put this flame shield in his bag before his next trip to the basement.

This is really exciting news for him!
