Age of Adepts

Chapter 384: The Great Shadow

It was sunset when the convoy arrived at the Tower of Destiny.

The lonely dragonbone wilderness is filled with scattered boulders, wild grass, and shattered bones, while the tower of destiny stands alone in the heart of the wilderness in a desolate monster howl.

Under the command of the Dark Witch, all the Witch apprentices disembarked from the carriage and lined up in front of the Gate of the High Tower, awaiting receipt by the Master of the High Tower.

Erica is undoubtedly part of the uneasy crowd. Erica's body couldn't help but start trembling when she thought of spending the rest of her life in such a desolate tower, accompanied only by those crazy monsters outside and "companions" who were beside her.

“Don't worry, everything will be fine!” Friar stood beside her, holding Erica's hand gently, softly comforting her.

Erica returned her with a reluctant smile.

Erica can feel it, and Friar's little hands are cold.

It doesn't look like her heart is as calm and calm as her appearance!

The tall tower gate finally opened slowly.

The gentle and bright light in the door cast down on the crowd, immediately bringing you a strong warmth.

Then a slim, tall figure appeared in the door, carrying light, silently sweeping at the crowd.

“Now that they're all here, come in and take a break! Thank you for this trip! ”

The voice is very soft and sweet and doesn't seem to be very old.

The leading Dark Witch stood silently in the dark, coldly saying: "Lord Alice, the seven apprentices promised by our Dark Witch clan have arrived, and I will not stop. Goodbye!”

Quite simply, without even entering the gate of the tower, he turned around and drove the wagon with his attendants into the darkness.

The dragonbone wilderness under the night was not calm, and the damage must have been immense if they had broken out so hard. But the Dark Witch's attitude is resolute enough that she doesn't seem to want too much connection with Alice.

Alice stared remotely at the distant convoy and smiled with a strange smile on her face and said to the remaining seven Ericas: "Come on in! ”

Everyone bowed down to salute, knowing that this was Alice, the future controller of Destiny Witch.

The witch apprentices struggled to carry their heavy boxes and carefully walked past the Alice witch and into the bright, warm gates of the tower.

Erica fell at the end and was the last apprentice to enter the tower.

She couldn't help but glance up at the legendary Witch of Destiny as she rubbed her shoulders off with the Alice Witch.

This is a beautiful young witch with a much more sophisticated and perfect face than any other witch Erica has ever seen. A silver shawl with long, smooth and luminous hair, delicate skin, narrow eyes, clear blue eyes and a purple robe filled with sun, moon and stars and witchcraft symbols.

The other side, too, is watching Erica quietly and quietly.

Both eyes collided gently, Erica immediately shrugged her head, holding the handle of the old leather case tightly in her hands, honestly following her companion and never daring to look at it again.

Alice sighs when she looks cowardly.

This Erica, she actually knew each other.

More than a decade ago, they were the same apprentices who entered the Dark Witch Tower, spending two years together. Later, Grandma Ndo needed to be stationed in Tallinn before sending Alice to Fanny's Cabin, a medium wizard organization in the middle of the continent, where she was handed over to Deborah, a female wizard.

This sway is going to take 20 years, and I can't believe that Erica climbed to the middle apprenticeship level only, and herself… is already the leader of the Destiny Witch.

The situation gap is no longer enough to be described by magic!

Alice couldn't help frowning as she watched seven witch apprentices enter the tall tower.

Most members have poor talent potential, but one or two of the mixed talent makes one or two of them suspicious of their eyes.

As the Dark Witch's attitude towards herself shows, the Dark Witches no longer see her as one of their own who can be approached. And according to Alice's original estimation, the job of escorting the witch apprentice was supposed to come from Grandma Ndo.

Grandma Cohendo didn't come, but a strange witch who was extremely unfriendly to herself, obviously had something she didn't know!

As soon as the witch apprentices entered the gate, they were shocked by everything in front of them!

Tidy and bright witchcraft lobby, dust-free, glossy floors, softly lit crystals embedded on stone walls, plus...

A sturdy long table with a wide variety of dishes and drinks is set in the centre of the hall. Fried calf waist, quail stuffed with spices and fruit, pastry filled with lark and stuffed meat, roasted beef with wine and onions, sleeping rats soaked with honey... The flavoured meal has a warm flue gas that brings out the insects in the stomach.

Witch apprentices, already hungry, had to swallow a sip.

The apprentices had to look at each other and their eyes were full of doubt. I heard it's only been open for two days. How can it be recovered so quickly? They're the first apprentices to reach the tower! Did the witch Alice do something about this hall herself these past two days?

“Let's eat first!” Alice's voice still looks so gentle: “The place is ready for you too. All you have to do today is eat, drink and rest, and everything is specific until tomorrow I will naturally assign it to you. Just follow this guard after you eat, and he'll take you to your respective quarters. ”

Alice is talking about an armored guard standing at the corner of the hall.

When it stood motionless, it lived like a full set of metal armor laid out by an aristocratic family to show its courage. Yet the witch apprentices know that this activated armor made of anaerobic metal possesses no less strength than trainee witches, crushing a group of middle- and high-ranking apprentices like them without a word.

After that, Alice left herself.

Soon, they will be the only ones left in this vast hall of witchcraft, with delicious dishes at a table and an immovable armored guard.

For a moment, the crowd stared and hesitated, and Friar and another high-ranking apprentice stepped out and whispered: “Everyone has driven this far, or did Lord Alice order you to eat and rest first. We'll talk about everything else tomorrow! ”

Everyone has been waiting for this order!

After listening to Friar, everyone immediately took up a position at the table and started eating and drinking desperately.

To be honest, before coming, everyone had made up their minds to struggle here for years.

After all, a witch tower has been silenced for thousands of years, witchcraft facilities must have been damaged, and the materials and resources needed to live and learn must be extremely scarce. So don't talk about snacks, they're sleeping tents, and people bring them in crates.

But at first sight, this tower of destiny and the first impression that Lord Alice made of them were absolutely different, if not the exact opposite.

It's a mysterious fate tower that people can't help but want to discover sooner!

…………

The twelfth floor of Destiny Witch Tower.

Alice was standing in front of a supermassive water mirror with Chevy, staring silently at several witch apprentices swallowing their throats in the first floor lobby.

“This… and this…” Chevy's shallowy white fingers gently circled two somewhat different female apprentices in the water mirror: “They're not like everyone else! Better talent... are you sure it wasn't the Dark Witches who showed you kindness? ”

“I'm sure!” Alice lifted her curly dark eyelashes gently, revealing her beautiful blue eyes. It's just that the playfulness and warmth in this moment are gone, replaced by a faint indifference and a faint anger: "If the Dark Witches want to show their goodwill, they just need to send Grandma Ndo, and they don't have to play with such complicated means! ”

“The nail they threw at you made it so obvious, do you want to eat it or not?” Chev nodded understanding.

She is also the 'second generation of witches’ coming out of the extended family, naturally knowing that the bigger the family, the more inconsistent the perceptions and thoughts displayed are with those of the individual.

Although Alice has strong roots with the Dark Witches, once she has become the leader of the Destiny Witch, there are many concerns and calculations about her feelings and relationships.

Alice's grandmother Poison Endo is, at best, a first-degree witch, with no voice or dominance at all in the Moya family, where the Dark Witch is the most powerful, nor is it likely to influence the major decisions of the Moya family. So the only possibility that this is happening is that the Moya family's attitude towards Alice has changed dramatically and unknowingly!

It doesn't sound good. If Alice's grandmother isn't amused, she's probably under house arrest by Dark Sorceress.

And it was with this in mind that Alice suddenly felt so bad!

“Chev, is there enough material left in the witch tower for a divination ceremony? I want answers tonight!” Alice suddenly turned her head towards Chevy.

During this period, Chevy completed the clean-up statistics for the treasure rooms and material warehouses in the tower.

“Materials are of course sufficient.” Chevy came up with a list of items: "Although most of the materials have lapsed over the millennium, the rest is still sufficient for two large divination activities. ”

“That's good!” Alice nodded, “Helen, would you please clear the top astrolabe, I'll need it in a minute! Everything you need can be picked up by Chevy! ”

Helen, the magic elf who had been curling over Alice's shoulder, flew up immediately and said aloud, "I know, I know... I'm coming. ”

Just say it, and the star glow disappeared on the spot.
