Age of Adepts

Under the night, the city of Scandre has lost all the excitement and noise of its past as the capital of kings.

With the exception of the upper city and near the palace, where sporadic lights can be seen, the rest of the city is already in deep darkness.

Later in the night, the city drained down a little rain.

As a result, there are fewer people on the broken streets. Those displaced residents shrunk in shaky houses and barely stood on unbroken half-roofs.

It is already the eleventh day of the "dragon attack” on Scandre City.

In the early days, dragons also targeted only the wealthy and powerful in the Upper City, with very little harassment in the Lower City and Civilian Areas. But when the dragons took over those high-value goals, they finally looked down on the civilian population, which accounted for 60% of the city's population.

In the first days of the looting, adult dragons flew in, completely crushing commercial guards and powerful escorts with powerful personal strength, smashing warehouses and cellars full of goods and treasures.

Scandrey City, though it possesses the most powerful ground armament in the Knights' Continent, weak Edward VII strictly ordered all high-ranking knights to be stationed near the palace, forbidding them from clashing with the dragons.

Thus, without the protection of the kingdom's force, the city of Scandre became a giant dragon hunting ground, and every day giant dragons flew thousands of miles to seize it.

And as the dragons need to invade more and more cities, the adult dragons of Dragon Valley are gradually not enough. Even young dragons about to reach adulthood are dispatched to practice their basic hunting and preying skills behind adult dragons every day, grinding their claw teeth.

With this grim destruction, Scandre City is like a badly ill patient, struggling every day to the brink of life and death, waiting quietly for the last breath to swallow.

Grimm was wrapped around a thick black traveler's cape, like a midnight spirit walking in the darkness, following the leaves and blades, silently traveling in the pitch-black alleys of the lower city.

Leaf was the skinny teenager who brought him to the Prophet Mass last time. No, young girl! Unfortunately, due to severe malnutrition at an early age, the leaf size of a 14-year-old girl is thin and hardly discernible from the outside. And when she was found by the Mars prophet, her gifted ability to awaken was somewhat analogous to the mindset of a cursed wizard.

Lack of systematic cultivation and rational use of resources also led to the awakening of the leaf genius and the absence of a practitioner who could point to her. This also leads her to have little more to learn than a few talented techniques.

So Grimm had to shake her head and sigh after a careful examination of her body. This little girl, who was born with a gift of exertion, had the strength of a quasi-woman, but fell even less vigorously on the basic attribute parameters of her body than some ordinary people.

As for another 13-year-old blade, it's basically similar to hers.

Blades possess a very special metallic affinity that allows them to manipulate some metal weapons naturally. He also has quasi-wolf strength, but has almost zero skills and a poor physical fitness.

As street beggars who were once worse than pigs and dogs, they had no relatives or official names. Even what is now called is the name of the prophet Mass, who took them in temporarily.

However, their strength is poor, but their familiarity with and knowledge of Scandre is difficult to reach. And what Grimm needs is a groundsnake just like them!

Countless alleys were turned in the dark, and even two or three abandoned houses were crossed halfway. Soon, there was another three-story tower in front.

They want to sneak into the Upper City area from the Lower City area, and this bunker building has to pass by.

Remote view, inside a small arched door hole, under a dark torch, the three city guards are gathering together to hold their guns and chat.

The blade hit Grimm again while the leaves went up to take care of the guard.

“Hey, big guy, is your world really that powerful? Listen to the old man, you wizards are strong enough to dominate the multiverse! ”

Two quiet flames burning in the shadow of Grimm's hood, and he didn't get too repellent for this overcurious little guy. Because of his age, he had an unknown intimacy in his heart.

Many times he had to exclaim, and fortunately it was the world of wizards, honored by wizards, that came into being when he came through. If he unfortunately falls into such a terrible place as the Cavalier, I'm afraid he won't be able to stand out so quickly even with a chip aid.

“Wizards are not as powerful as you think. Throughout the multiverse, there are many powerful people who can take precedence over wizards, as well as powerful people. You should also be glad that we are only witches this time. If you come to the natural disaster lords of the disastrous world, your whole face is not enough for them to swallow!” There was plenty of time anyway, so Grimm talked to him.

It wasn't until the leaves in front were waving their hands that the two of them quickly walked into the door hole where the torch light illuminated.

Three city guards, dressed in obsolete leather armour, grabbed a long gun in their hand and leaned against the wall while still chatting. Their eyes were wide open, but their eyes were scattered and unresponsive to the proximity of Grimm and others.

Grimm clearly saw that each of them had a slight flash of a strange quote on their forehead.

The three men walked silently through the door hole until they did not enter the distant darkness, and as the leaves removed the symbols in their hands, the three city guard armies under control woke up from their dormancy as if they were dreaming. However, the brief pause just now obviously did not affect the interest of the three of them, who continued the conversation with a lot of excitement.

“It's a great ability!” A rare compliment from Grimm.

Of course, it is obvious that the little girl is also a gifted generation to be able to figure out such a peculiar way to use her gift without being taught. Unfortunately, she was born in this unlucky cavalier position. If she had the privilege of being born in the world of witches, she might have become a powerful witch!

“Of course.” Blade obviously has a special fondness for this leaf, and immediately after hearing it, he was excited: “Sister Leaf is an indispensable and important figure in our team. Apart from the old man and his mentors, she's already the strongest! ”

“Blade, shut up!” The leaves in front turn back and whisper: “If you can't keep your mouth shut, I'll keep you quiet all night! ”

With her special mindset, she may need only a simple psychological cue to temporarily lose the ability to speak. After all, people in this world don't have such simple and practical witchcraft accessories to protect their hearts and minds as brooches.

Hearing the boss angry, the young blade threw up his tongue at Grimm and quickly closed his mouth.

Teacher?

Grimm smiled slightly and tasted silently.

Leaf is already an associate wizard level thinker, so I'm afraid the mentor in the blade mouth can only exist at the official wizard level. How counter-productive these guys are to successfully advance to the ranks of the official practitioners under such brutal repression by the Hound Knights!

After passing through that door hole, they had entered the so-called Uptown Area.

Compared to the low-lying bungalows and dilapidated wooden houses in Lower Downtown, the entire Upper City is almost a beautiful villa with garden lawns. The villa where their target lives is closer to the palace district, so the difficulty of sneaking there is to be expected.

Grimm, with his terrible witchcraft abilities, could indeed raise his hand and throw his foot into a flaming sea, but he snuck silently into the enemy's belly area, which was difficult for the mighty. His flame jump was indeed a good maneuvering witchcraft, but the flaming light and the flaming halo were hard to hide.

If he doesn't want to attract the entire Uptown Guard, then the power of these little groundsnakes is inevitable!

The three men walked, stopped and from time to time entered the dark zone, avoiding the guards of the heavily armed patrols.

The dragon attack for more than 10 consecutive days has also left the upper city full of blurred walls and fallen houses visible everywhere.

Located at the border between Upper Town and Royal Palace District, this is where some of Scandre's most powerful and noble people can live.

At this moment, in a beautiful villa on the second floor, a light candle fire is coming out of the bedroom window. This amply demonstrates that the owner of the bedroom has not fallen asleep even on such an awesome rainy night.

Daphne gently pushed open the wooden windows and leaned against the windows, silently looking out at the sky beneath the dark night curtain.

And it's only at this moment that those bloody dragons won't come whistling and disturb her peaceful and happy life.

The last neighborhood had just been attacked by dragons yesterday, and the house of the Grenas had been leveled, with more than a dozen dead and wounded servants. John's house in that neighborhood on the right was also visited by dragons, and his valuable possessions were almost swept away.

Every day, their little buddies gather to hide in the palace so that they can avoid being hurt by dragons. It is only at night that they have the opportunity to return to their homes to see if they are still alive.

These boring days are terrible!

Daphne was filled with grudges when she thought her father needed to guard her day and night in that noisy castle camp, unable to guard her and her mother.
