Age of Adepts

Undoubtedly, these beetles were sent by the evil worm Entik!

Help me?

Is he asking me for help?

Tummary?

Why would he divulge his best plan to me?

This string of questions quickly formed a horrible conspiracy to make Grimm completely bone marrow after a chip inference!

I'm afraid the evil worm Ntik is completely under the control of the Anderson wizard, which is why he couldn't help himself as an enemy. As for how a quasi-woman who is completely under the control of a wizard can hide his soul consciousness from the other party, it probably has something to do with his unique worm body!

Although fortunately he retained his sense of self in the Anderson Wizard's plot, he was clearly powerless to escape the other party's control, thus obtaining Grimm's intervention by divulging the other party's plot.

But what can Grimm do with all this?

How dare you complain about the Anderson wizard's daring behavior to that Kogan wizard of the Sarubo clan? This may put Anderson Wizards under some discipline, but it is difficult to fundamentally change the situation under control. If Anderson has clearly indicated his willingness to relinquish control, I'm afraid the Sarubo family would be happy to take over as a fully controlled family wizard.

And that way, Mary still can't escape her tragic fate!

Defeat Anderson? This is an impossible thing to do!

If Grimm had finished making all four of the powerful demon puppets foreseen, and then introduced the Anderson Wizard to some special place to work with Mary and Ntick, there was still a slight chance of killing him. But the success rate of such a plan is almost more than 12%, and Grimm is not willing to take such a big risk!

Previously, I mentioned the powerful witch, and there was only one very general concept in mind. But after more than half a year of experience, Grimm finally had a preliminary outline in his heart.

Take Grimm's first junior apprentice! There is little difference between physical and ordinary people, the only difference being mastery of one or two powerful witchcraft and a very small number. Apprenticeships during this period, if they go out on missions, still enjoy hiring mercenaries to defend themselves against injuries from mortals, such as crossbows, flying knives, organ traps, etc.

Once advanced to the intermediate level, the power of the wizard apprentice begins to appear. During this period, either the direction of development has been chosen for itself or some powerful means have been possessed, and ordinary human beings are no longer able to hope for it. Even the militias in ordinary towns have difficulty attracting such horrific figures. However, as long as the means are appropriate, the possibility remains that ordinary people will kill intermediate apprentices.

But once advanced, such an apprenticeship secular army is no match. Imagine a man with a powerful life like a buffalo, running like a leopard, no less powerful than a grown-up man, who can upset the secular army without the help of witchcraft. If accompanied by powerful witchcraft, an army of 1,200 men would not have been destroyed at all.

Of course, if any human aristocrat has to pay a great price. With good ordnance and fearless soldiers, it is worth the lives of more than 300 fighters. If you pile them up with human life, you can defeat the senior apprentice.

Until the wizard apprentice becomes a quasi-witch, I'm sorry, but the army of ordinary little aristocrats is no longer valid for him. Even this quasi-woman can be dragged down by some of the smaller principalities if he can afford to beat the guerrillas under his skin. Dealing with a quasi-witch will cost the lives of at least a thousand elite fighters. And if you can kill him, you need to see how lucky you are in battle!

Of course, the strength estimates above are based on the fact that secular forces are not supported by mysterious forces. And today's wizard continent, no principality can survive without the patronage of a family of wizards. Many human kings, the Grand Duke, are all agents sent by the family of wizards, or a mortal who is good at managing the territory, or an unsuspecting wizard apprentice.

In short, secular power will always be used by wizards, but it will never be reversed.

And to deal with a wizard, it is no longer possible to count on the power of the world.

The only way to kill a wizard is another wizard!

This proverb of reason has been deeply imprinted on the bones of all mortals. The nobles, large and small, who are guarded by a family of wizards, are not willing to offend even one of the most despicable wizards. After all, the power of the wizard is terrifying!

So after estimating the power of my enemies, Grimm abandoned the foolish idea of confronting Anderson wizards early on.

Wizards are dangerous, wizards are scary, but just find the right way, wizards are still fragile!

Every year, there are a large number of wizards who accidentally die from dangerous witchcraft experiments, and those who go deep into the wild jungle, who never turn back, are also present. And many more are falling into the foreign pioneering wars of the wizard family.

Sometimes it is a territorial war between some of the dominant wizard families, and sometimes it is an exotic colonization within the wizard families. In short, if Grimm and others succeed in becoming wizards, they will inevitably have to take part in one bloody war after another.

But the idea of waiting for the Anderson Wizard to kill himself is ridiculous. With Anderson Wizard's perennial home in the high tower of the swamp, he can see that he is also a research-type wizard and is not very good at combat.

But even so, Grimm still doesn't want to confront him!

If you don't want to face up to it, you can only rely on schemes.

So all these days, Grimm, in addition to trying to improve his strength, has been silently calculating what he is prepared to do. It's just that the target of this calculation is a wizard, so Grimm can only make a long plan. Anyway, it would take more than three months for that Ntik to reach the summit of the quasi-wolf, so there's still time left for Grimm to plan his calculations.

…………

Evil Bug Ntik's residence.

It's already dark and damp like a nest of bugs, all over white cocoons. Some have been broken, and a larvae covered in yellow mucus is crawling out of it. Some are still intact, and the enchanted Witch Array on the local board can map the dense and numb bug patterns inside when the character lights up.

At the corner of the room is a corpse of a mutilated buffalo with traces of eaten by ants. The black cow's blood is all over the ground with the stench of a stinking nose.

The indoor air is extremely cloudy and full of strong acidic, bloody, rotten stench. And Ntik seemed to have no idea, his tray legs sat dead on the floor, and his body was still motionless. Although his body did not move, the grey cloth robe covered outside the body hid a slight creep, swelling from time to time, and then disappearing invisible.

It also heralds that Ntik seems to be calm inside his body, but not as calm as the surface.

Since returning from Anderson's blood-fusion ceremony, Ntik has mostly sat there like a dead man, motionless, like a dead man. But in him, a bloody war without smoke and without shouting had just come to an end.

Half-worm veins dominated by mother phagocytes and vampire veins dominated by a bloodthirsty heart, his body is used as a battlefield every day to fight for dozens of rounds. Both sides want to devour each other and transform each other into nourishment for their own growth, so no party is willing to compromise and coexist in the face of this "victory or defeat” bloodline war.

If the two different bloodlines were so well integrated, the bloodline wizard would have blossomed. Using so many wizards hiding in dark, damp towers, doing most of these unproductive horror experiments?

If the potential of both blood veins is uneven, then it is necessarily the result of one swallowing the other. If the potential is balanced, then it is necessarily the end of two defeats and a breakdown of the host's body. In short, trying to make two incompatible things coexist and prosper seems to be missing some key neutralizer, making blood fusion experiments always difficult to get the results that wizards want.

If this trend continues, the evil worm Ntik will not survive the end of his dead soul.

Initially in his body, the half-worm bloodline took an absolute advantage in the fight against the vampire bloodline because it took over the heavens and the earth. But whenever the vampire bloodstream was about to collapse, the Anderson wizard would lure him into the 5th floor chamber and inject him with a new source of blood.

With this constant infusion of blood, vampire blood was able to infect an important body organ, transforming Ntik's heart into a bloodthirsty heart. With the aid of a bloodthirsty heart, the vampire bloodline has dominated the bloodline war for the first time. And in vitro, Ntik's half-worm is degraded, and his skin turns dark red.

Ntik's skull drooped low, and he didn't even move slightly when his life became dying when both blood veins fought their own lives. But in his spiritual depths, above his soul's source, a more brutal war was waged.

The brand of consciousness formed by the Soul Blood Deed is etched on the soul source of Ntik, but it is strange that the part of the soul bearing the Soul Blood Deed is about to be separated from the entire soul source by the appearance of a crack around the soul source.

Hiding most of his consciousness from his phagocyte mother, he escaped the consciousness control of the Anderson wizard, and the evil worm Ntik barely maintained his consciousness * independence. At this time, he did not dare to return the subject consciousness to its soul. Once he returns, the fact that he still has a sense of independence * is perceived by the Anderson Wizard through his soul blood deed.

So now, in his body, the Anderson wizard is in complete control but his split second consciousness, while his own consciousness peeps aside and seizes control of his body.

It's hard to get rid of the Anderson Wizard on his own, which is why he secretly manipulated some scorpions to get help from that damn enemy. Unfortunately, the two consecutive calls for help were as rocky as the sea, and no response was forthcoming at all, so Ntik had to get restless.
