Age of Adepts

Two months later.

Before dawn, the mist was not yet dispersed.

A black carriage slowly drove out of Federnand in a whisper.

Tall buildings were quickly abandoned behind them, and as the carriage continued to advance, a large amount of agricultural land began to emerge on both sides of the road, with sporadic outlines of farmhouses and small villages hidden deep in the fog in the distance.

Since the sun is not out yet and it is easy to damage your expensive carriage in such weather, there are not many pedestrians on this road to and from Federnand. Especially as they left Federnand for more than 10 miles, human buildings became scarcer and taller trees became more and more dense.

Grimm lifted the curtains and wet water poured over his face, with a hint of cool and a hint of ice.

That's less than ten miles out of town, and the woods on either side of the road already smell like pristine forests. This also makes him wonder how many years ago, led by a wizard, mankind struggled to create a colony of primitive forests and to compete with the fae for land...

In some of the early Wizard's notes and books, Grimm often sees wizards acting as protectors of humanity, assisting the nobles to govern their territory, repelling the attacks of terrible monsters, eliminating masses of ferocious beasts and making human colonies more and more secure.

But that was a long time ago!

In the course of the development of witches in recent millennia, Grimm has been able to see very clearly how witches have transcended the human aristocracy and begun to rise above the entire community, leading to the powerful domination of Nodak's witch continent.

The status of witches and nobles has changed dramatically since the development of the witch continent to this day. Former human leaders, now kneeling before powerful wizards, are their agents and servants. And ordinary human beings are gradually moving away from the sight of wizards, becoming a weak, inferior and inferior group in their mouths.

Had it not been for the strict rules of high-ranking wizards, it would have been forbidden for wizards to target human beings in their own right or to kill ordinary people on a massive scale. Otherwise, all that man possesses, I fear, will have been plundered by the wizards, and even himself will inevitably become an experimental white mouse or a poor slave to labor to death.

At a time when Grimm couldn't help but think, the driver couldn't help but turn around.

“Master, this may be a long journey, so take a break!” It was a well-dressed middle-aged man who drove. But under Grimm's powerful visual scan of the elements, what you see is Kabi, the goblin who hides under the masquerade and smiles.

“Well, thank you very much!” Grimm nodded slightly and gently lowered the curtains.

“Huh, hard work for what?” Alice, curled up on the side of the car, sleeping with her eyes open, said, "That's what it's supposed to do! By the way, you're a better wizard now. Why don't you use your permissions to rent a Socrates hawk? That way, we'll be in Motta City in a day! ”

The city of Federnand is home to the Sarubo family and belongs to private territory and is not part of the spacecraft's berthing itinerary. So if they want to take the ship to the Silver Alliance area, they can only set out to the public city of Mota, 300 miles away.

“We have plenty of time anyway. It's also nice to walk slowly and look at the terroir of the scattering Tallinn area along the way.” Grimm smiled softly.

Alice rubbed her eyes and climbed up, staring seriously at Grimm, seemingly looking at something monstrous.

“All right, all right!” It also seems to know that the reasons were too tenacious, and Grimm was helpless: “Tallinn warned me the other day before we left. It seems to sense that someone is preaching to me! ”

“Prophecy?” Alice suddenly gets excited: “You mean someone wants to deal with you? ”

“We have enemies. Are you excited? ”

“Of course, otherwise how boring it would be on the road! ”

“You never thought that the enemy would take everything into account if they dared to count me. Aren't you afraid to die in the hands of the enemy? ”

“Tsk... you're not afraid, what am I afraid of?” Alice looked disdainful: “Since you already knew the enemy existed, you would definitely make the arrangements. Otherwise, with your character, how can you be tempted to act as an enemy? ”

“ …… ”

…………

Noon.

The black carriage slowly drove into a grey road in the woods.

The road filled with pedestrians, business brigades and carriages was unusually quiet at this moment. A carriage and cattle truck stopped in place, and all the humans and pullers of the cattle horses fell over and fell asleep.

Seeing the abnormality in front of him, Goblin Kabi strangled the two gorgeous white horses of the puller without waiting for him to come back and warn the car, and a faint scent drifted into his nose. So the next second, two white horses, Kabby and the puller, fell.

Grimm opened the curtains, jumped off the carriage and frowned at the strange scene in front of her. A bright red film floated on the surface of his tall and mighty body, and it was this film that saved Grimm from being attacked by strange agents in the air.

Grimm's elements are visually clear. As soon as I was exposed to the outside of the cabin, the dry, cold and damp air in the woods swept up, and one of the clear powders crammed into the red film.

A light bang.

A red flame appeared on the bright red film, burning the aggressive powder into the sky.

And in the trunk, Alice, who was hopping to see a good show, has been lying on the trunk and snoring. After all, a witch's means are not something one of her quasi-worms can resist, even if she is the strongest quasi-wormer!

Three short and tall figures appeared in the woods on the right, with faces and eyes hidden in thick cloaks and silent eyes on Grimm.

Grimm hesitated for a moment, not trying to wake Alice and Kabi, but simply tidied up her equipment and silently followed the three mysterious wizards into the forest sea.

A mile ahead in the noisy forest sea, several people came to an empty forest space.

The forest is sparse and there is a water pond 200 meters ahead. Looking around, apart from tall old ladies trees and low, soft weeds, you can't see half a silk figure, but it's also a good place to tackle hatred.

“You know what we're here for, right?” A cloak man with a slightly lower head asked softly.

Listen to the voice, it should be a middle-aged man.

“Black Hand Association?” The corner of Grimm's mouth revealed a smile.

The low cloak man whistled down his hood, revealing a dry green face, plus a hawky nose and dirty green hair, he is not a human being!

Black Hand Association president, only 2nd level wizard Green Dwarf Palo.

Stared at by the other side's cloudy green eyes, Grim's heart was like a boulder pressed against a sinking tree, and he couldn't breathe smoothly.

“As the president of the Mafia Association, Sir, aren't you afraid that Lord Sanaza will come to your trouble after the loud and loud interception of the Sarubo family's official wizard? ”

“We certainly cannot bear the anger of Lord Sanazar if our mafia attacks you. But if you are not a member of our mafia association, I'm afraid the Sanazar behind you will not be able to persecute our mafia association in flagrant violation of the decree of the Ditalin Wizards Association!” Pairo the Green Dwarf coldly said.

“Your Excellency, what does this mean? ”

“Lord Pairo meant very simply...” The tallest of the three suddenly also blew down the cloak, revealing his face, and smiling insidiously: “Because it wasn't them who did it, but me... us! ”

The thin, tall man was pale, his skin was crumpled and his voice was dull and dull. But when he said the last sentence, his head suddenly turned 180 degrees, revealing a woman's face behind his head, and his voice turned to female voice at the same time.

The woman's face was closed, her face had a strange smile, and her speech was no different than that of a normal person. And she... is not a mask or a painted face, but a totally real woman.

“Duplex, Kane!” Grimm whispered softly.

Though he has been a wizard for a short time, through this period of victimization, he has also made a comprehensive understanding and arrangement of the prominent wizards in the scattering Tallinn region. With the ultra-efficiency of the chip, the entire scattered Tallinn region, large and small wizard families, colleges, organizations and forces, famous and unknown wizards, he has almost done everything in his heart.

As for Kane, the double-faced man in front of him, Pyro the Green Dwarf did not lie, he did not belong to the Black Hand Association, but was a powerful vagrant wizard.

Kane, from an ordinary aristocratic family in the middle of the continent, and having been tested for witch talent since childhood with her twin sisters, was sent to a small witch academy to study. His experiences are similar to those of Grimm, who met a terrible evil sorcerer during his apprenticeship.

He and his twin sisters are very talented and have a very special psychic connection, so he was chosen by an evil sorcerer to perform an extremely dangerous life integration experiment.

And so the end of the story can be imagined.

Terrible life fusion experiments melted the souls of their brothers and sisters together, sharing a body, but two faces before and after the skull. Two people are in one soul and use the same body alternately.

With the sudden stimulus of the power of the soul, the two brothers and sisters unexpectedly advanced to the rank of wizard. Also due to the confusing integration of the soul, the two were unexpectedly freed from the wizard's control.

With the power of two wizards at the same time, Kane and Lucy, two heart-to-heart double-siders, immediately started killing, killing all four wizards and 27 wizard apprentices in that little wizard academy in one breath, to escape.

Due to the confusion of the soul and the distortion of character, the double-sided wizard Kane has been wandering around the middle of the continent avoiding pursuit by the Correctional Department of the Wizards Association. The average wizard family had nothing to do with it and was not willing to easily provoke such a powerful wizard, which is why “he and she” were kept hidden for a long time.

But I can't believe the Black Hand Association paid so much to invite them out!

Grimm helpless smiled.
