Age of Adepts

“You let me leave the Tower of Destiny?” Grimm screamed incredibly weird.

“Not to let you go, but to ask you to leave!” Alice sighed helplessly.

“Is there a difference between the two? ”

“Of course there is!” Alice laughed bitterly: "Because the former was in her capacity as master of the Tower of Destiny, and the latter as an ally! ”

“If you know we are allies, why do you need help when you need it the most…”

“Because you're a witch, and this is the territory of the Northern Witch!” Alice straightened out the answer.

“You mean my presence creates unnecessary trouble for your identity?” Grimm squinted his eyes. He instinctively feels a discomfort when he first comes into contact with this privileged group of witches.

“Yes!” Alice sighed bitterly once again: "If I had the strength of step 3 or even 4 in normal times, no one would have bothered me on this issue. But now..."

“Something wrong? ”

“I've told you everything about my promotion. As you know, the soul projection of the first appointed lucky witch has been wiped out by me, so there must be some sense in her out-of-town body. Although she was unable to enter the world of sorcerers, she was able to put pressure on me through a number of covert means. ”

“Like what? ”

“For example, a witch leader challenged me through a witch council. They cannot deny that I am a destiny witch who succeeded in advancing through the battle for destiny and was recognized by the laws of destiny. But... they can question my disobedience to the Northern Witch tradition and give in to a man! ”

“What the fuck tradition is that? As far as I know, there are many wizards in the North. ”

“Those are all subordinate wizards!” Alice's hand touched her forehead and her big, beautiful eyes stared straight at Grimm: “Are you ready for me to shout at all the witches in the Witch Council, you're my man! ”

Grimm's tall body immediately shivered slightly.

When I think of being shouted by Alice fingering her nose in front of hundreds of witches in a tall, wide congressional hall, "He's my man!” Grimm couldn't help but feel a chill for a while.

“Can't we say we're allies?” Grimm's feeble rebuttal.

“What do you think?” Alice turned a blind eye: "The Northern Witch tradition is always feminist, and even many extreme witches, even the subordinate mortal lands are managed by selected women. They're very hostile to guys who are against witch tradition! ”

“Is that what you saw last night with astrology? ”

“It's just part, not all.” Alice's face suddenly turns serious: “Due to the rules of fate, I can't tell you exactly what it is. Because it involves the deep secrets of some northern witches. Once I say it, the rules will inevitably be touched, causing unpredictable change. So..."

“Got it!” Grimm sighed deeply: “I'm leaving now...”

“You come with me! ”

With Alice leading them, they quickly arrived in a secret room on the 15th floor.

Nodak's space has no objects or decorations, only a giant mysterious witch array has been etched on the floor.

“Transmission Formation?” Grimm whispered softly.

This sorcerer's array, he has seen, has been accomplished through several remote transmissions of the Sarubo clan. And the one in front of you is obviously also a transmitter of witchcraft.

“This is the Witchcraft within the Tower of Destiny, which can send you directly to the dispersion of Tallinn, thus sparing you the pain of trekking long distances through the Black Forest. I also give you the coordinates and opening permissions for this transport array so that you can come directly to the Tower of Destiny when you need something in the future. ”

After that, Alice split a group of light from the Tall Tower Control Symbol Crystal, and Grimm grabbed it and blended it into her body.

“Dip, psychic data access request detected, please indicate whether or not to access? ”

“Access! ”

Soon, a strange set of bit-space waypoint data went into Grimm's mind and was quickly stored by a chip. At the same time, there is a more complex and massive stream of data imbued with mysterious forces. Without the presence of chips, I'm afraid Grimm could only force them to be remembered with super high spiritual power, and it would be impossible to analyze them more comprehensively.

Since that white light blended into his body, Grimm has been able to clearly perceive every hint of change that carries the Witch Array underneath him. Even Grimm had the feeling that if he gave the chip time to parse all the contents of this control, he would have more control over this Witchcraft than even Alice, the master of the tower.

Grimm stood still and smiled at Alice after entering the Witch Formation: “You keep that black chira resonance crystal so you can find me directly if anything happens. Fight here yourself, be careful...”

Before he finished, a young, hot torso fell into his arms. Grimm's lips were blocked by another pair of hot red lips.

After a long time, Alice held Grimm's chest with her hands and took a step back, looking closely at his handsome face.

“Thank you for everything you've done for me!” Alice muttered: “I just want you to understand that no matter what decision you make, I will always be on your side...”

Grimm stretched out her tongue and licked the lips that Alice had bitten, watching as her cheeks faded red and her heart burned.

“Here are some of the things I found in the warehouse that you could use. Take it with you! Remember, when I get on my heels, remember to come back to see me, and bring Sister Mary with you..."

Alice gently tucked a dimensional bag into Grimm's arms and took a step back.

The milky white light of the Witch Front gradually swallowed up Grimm's figure.

After a moment, with a slight buzz, the space fluctuations in the transmission array suddenly became intense, and the bright white light filled the field of view. When everything gradually began to calm down, the white light faded away, and once again revealed the void in the transmission array, Grimm's tall figure was gone.

Alice left two lines of tears unnamed.

…………

White flashes with a strong buzz.

Grimm felt suddenly dizzy and his spirit regained control of his body until the outside space fluctuations stopped shaking.

Grimm slowly opened his eyes to gauge this strange conveyor room after holding his forehead together for a moment.

“Welcome to Ibes City! Judging by the spatial signposts, you are coming from the North. But this is a strange landmark. I wonder who the new transmission line was created by His Excellency the Witch?” Appearing before Grimm was a middle-aged white wizard with a feather pen and a sheepskin book, who looked at the silver law enforcement badge on his chest and was supposed to be the manager of the Scattering Tallinn Wizards Association stationed here.

“Tower of Destiny!” Grimm greeted each other slightly and was ready to get up and leave the transfer room.

“Tower of Destiny?” The white robe manager bit the feather pen and turned to think: "The Wizard Tower hasn't been connected to the transmission network for thousands of years, has it been reactivated? Hello... By the way, haven't you paid for the transmission maintenance yet? ”

“Why do you have to pay? Isn't all the energy you need to transfer concentrated on the other side of the Transfer Witch Formation? Why do we need to collect money on this side?” Grimm blinks instantly.

“Hmm, you know it's the first time you've enjoyed this teleportation, right?” The White Robe Wizard snorted coldly: “Although most of the energy required to deliver is borne by the initiator, as the receiver, we have a certain amount of space left over from the Witch Array here. So in order to better manage the Witch Array and serve more friends, we also need to charge a small maintenance fee here. ”

“How many?”

“300 Magic Crystal! ”

Grim felt directly silent.

The last time he followed a merchant team across the Black Forest to reach the North, it cost as much as 200 magic crystals, and today it's coming from the Tower of Destiny, and connecting the recipients is paying 300 magic crystals. So... that's normal, how much does he have to pay at the transmitter's fate tower?

The other side of the question also gave a quick answer.

4000 Magic Crystal!

And that's because the Ibes City Witch Tower Brigade is closest to the North, which is why it's so cheap. If Grimm wants to move from central Scanditalin to the Tower of Destiny, the cost will be as high as 5,000 Demon Crystals. If transferred from within the silver alliance on the western side of the continent to the north, the cost will rise sharply to tens of thousands of Demons.

Hearing this base cost, Grimm held on so he didn't twitch the muscles on his face.

No wonder there are witch towers everywhere and witch arrays everywhere, but there are still so many low-ranking witches who prefer to fly in airships or follow the merchants in such a clumsy way to cross the Black Forest without taking advantage of them. Turns out the main reason is the very high cost of transmission...

According to the White Robe Wizard, the cost of conveying the Witchcraft is so high, mainly because it consumes a lot of energy from the Witchtower reserve when it is conveyed. That is why a 'certain’ fee has to be charged to the wizard used to make up for the loss of the witch tower.

Grimm couldn't help but feel the heat.

He also has a void stone hidden in his belt, which, if used to build a Witchcraft, automatically replenishes the space energy consumed. Doesn't that mean you own a treasure trove that can keep providing the magic crystal!

But the greater value of a void stone lies in its ultra-long teleportation across facets, and that is its true value. Think of it as a regular transmission line to earn the magic crystal, and only a poor, crazy guy would do such a violent thing!
