Age of Adepts

300 miles is nothing to a wizard.

If they weren't in the Black Forest, it might only take two to three hours for them to get there.

But after all, there are rules for black forests, and wanting to fly here without taboo, that's not enough to pay for ten lives.

Most powerful monsters are lazy to interfere with guys who sneak past the edge of their territory, but if you fly loud and loud from the top of their heads, it's the provocation of the fruit!

Five scorpion lions undoubtedly belong to the area's native monsters, so they know a lot about the hunting areas of many monsters along the way. Instead of flying high, they fly in close proximity to the forests of tall ancient trees, twisting around and trying to rapidly cross along the territorial edges of those powerful monsters.

As a result, there was a frightening journey across the 300-mile forest sea, returning once again to the morbid woods where the landscape features were more obvious.

And here they are, Scorpion family territory!

Without stopping, five scorpion lions pressed the wings of the manta, and the windy, strong body burst into the melting hole with the whirring wind, squeaking and squeaking the frightened tens of thousands of night-running bats inside.

But no bat dared break into the Scorpion lion ten meters, no matter how panicked the bats were. Scorpion lions are worthy bosses in this land!

The scorpion lions ignored the free 'watchdogs’, slapped the manta wings, glided fast in the cave, flexibly flashed over a stone column on top of the sky and overhanging stone clock milk, and stuck one end into the dark, dark passage in the corner.

Gliding through narrow, dark paths, encountering overly narrow areas, they put away manta wings and run fast on the ground like a real lion. When the space is slightly more spacious, the manta wings will unfold again and burst between the rocky columns and the caves.

This is their home.

Every passage here, every pillar, they're incredibly familiar.

Even if the underground light is dim, it has no half-witted effect on scorpion lions with microscopic vision. Like small fish passing through coral reefs, they travel flexibly between rocks, rocks, dirt, straight through complex underground tunnels and into the caverns where Grimm discovered the lava wells.

As soon as they entered here, the space around them suddenly became spacious, even empty, and the three Silver Union wizards who had been sitting with their eyes closed could not help but open their eyes and began to sweep up the surrounding environment.

In particular, the lava wells in the central location of the cave swarm attracted the attention of two Oui wizards. As they jumped off the scorpion lion, they couldn't wait to get close to the lava well, and pull out a weird witch and start measuring the environmental data.

The guy named Eugene is a battle sorcerer and is primarily responsible for protecting these two Oui sorcerers on mission. So he wasn't mesmerized by the environment, and he nodded towards Grimm and started stepping on the terrain around the lava well.

Grimm couldn't help but cough awkwardly as she watched the two Oui wizards who had worked so hard to get here. Instead of shocking the two Obi-wizards who were apparently caught up in the passion for their work, however, they brought back Eugene, who was wandering around.

“What's the matter with you?” The Eugene Wizard has a rather cold tone and a killer smell of energy.

“Uh... I was wondering, what else can I do to help build the Wizard Tower? ”

“I don't need any help!” The Eugene Wizard overthrew Grimm with one word: "If you really have the power, you don't have to invite us! Everything is fine here, it's a place to build a witch tower. ”

“So what do I need to do? ”

“You don't need to do anything, just leave! A small basic witch tower like this will take only nine days to complete. When everything is ready, I will naturally inform you that you will work at the full Tallinn Blood Festival. Well, you can leave now..."

At this moment, Grimm is about to fall off his jaw with arrogance and disrespect.

But when I think of the silver union, I feel relieved.

This would have been a unique business.

After they monopolized most of the Oui Wizards and related knowledge and technology, other wizard families and organizational forces wanted to quickly complete the construction of the Witch Tower, often relying only on the Silver Alliance group. The Sarubo family also has its own architects and fighters, but these strategic talents remain outside the territory and are firmly in the hands of the Sarubo Grand Wizard.

Trying to get them to cross the barriers and go back to the world of wizards to build the lowest grade ‘rudimentary’ wizard tower for a small first-order wizard, something like this that Sanaza, the third-degree wizard, can't control either. Because the Oui wizards that the Sarubo family painstakingly cultivated were prepared for a confrontational war, and no one could labor them to help a common family wizard.

So…

Such things as Grimm building private witch towers can only be turned to specialized institutions like the Silver Union!

So, it wasn't even a minute before the group was invited, and Grimm was invited out of the cave by the Eugene wizard.

It can be seen that this group is still well placed to keep intellectual property and technology confidential.

Even if Grimm leaves the cave swarm, you can see what it feels like to be watched. And it wasn't until he returned to the Scorpion's lair that the feeling of being watched disappeared completely.

“Don't feel ashamed, master!” Recent days have been hiding underground to teach this group of Scorpion Lions about Grigg witches, whispering solace: “So are the guys from the three great forces! You get used to it when you get too much contact..."

“Oh, you know all three forces?” Grimm asked curiously, "Can you tell me! ”

“Psst... what can I say!” The old, thin, dry face of the Grigg witch reveals an abomination: “As a stray witch's pain, it is hard for those who have not experienced it! We're like mice crossing the street, and everywhere we go, we get bullied by the local wizard family. And in order to gather knowledge and buy materials, we can only pinch our noses to please the managers of the public witch towers, so that we can get some cheaper resources..."

“Then why don't you join some wizard family? As your pharmacist, if you show a willingness to give in, is that a family of moderately powerful wizards will welcome you with open arms? Why wander around and live a hard life with white eyes? ”

“Master, when you say this, it means you don't really know the wizard families. When you enter these families as Oracle wizards, you will find that they do value your presence and are willing to lean greater resources on you. But... ever since, you've lost your freedom! ”

“Freedom?”

“Yes, freedom!” The Grigg witch sighed: “They bet resources on you and naturally want more from you! As a pharmacist, once I join the Wizard family, I need to regularly hand over a certain amount of Witchcraft medicine to the family each year. And powerless guys like me, they set a very large number of witchcraft. And if I want to accomplish it, I can only do repetitive and boring work day and night in a weird-smelling lab. ”

Grimm quietly mopped his chin and became silent.

“And the most immediate consequence of this is… I don't have that much time to meditate or to improve my strength. When I became a wizard, I spent a great deal of time each year on a pointless formula of witchcraft. And my body, that little bit of it, was destroyed...”

So far, Gerger is only 89 years old, and he is not even middle-aged in a group of two or three hundred-year-old wizards. But his body and appearance... have already fought with the old wizards who are near the end of their lives!

“Isn't there a lot of high-ranking wizards in Oui? You...” Grimm got a little confused again.

“Master, are you talking about inside the Silver League?” The Grigg Witch giggles twice: “Guys like them who are willing to work hard to cultivate, who don't want to smash their resources into high-ranking wizards, but they're all lineage with family backgrounds! For outsiders, they can never afford to do that. After all, smashing a less talented Oui Wizard into two levels of resources is enough to smash out two to three 2nd level battle wizards. So they're not one of them, and they can't help it...”

Grim is also aware of this.

Inside the Sarubo family, Winrill is a pharmacist and Cogan is a witch beast modifier, all with their own unique ancillary expertise. But their ability to fight, to be honest, Grimm never looked. And their strength improves, even more so than Grimm's.

After returning from the knighthood, it is enough for Grimm to meet them three or four times a year. For the rest of the time, they were soaking in their laboratories, moving for ten days and a half months before coming out. Even a lot of times you can't care about eating and drinking, you can only rely on nutritional pills to support it.

Long periods of lack of physical exercise, perennial exposure to materials harmful to the body, coupled with prolonged mental deprivation, also fail to regress and become atrophic and erosive.

It's amazing that there's no backsliding!

But what is more intolerable than regression is the loss of liberty.

As a well-trained professional wizard in your family, you will never have anything to do with your travels and adventures. No family would let the Oui Wizard go on some jungle adventure with a team of strangers for that tiny bit of combat experience and adventure.

Even if there is an occasional need, the family sends a large number of good players to closely protect the Oui Wizards to explore the so-called ‘ruins’ and ‘dangerous places' at low risk.

With this experience, Orthodox wizards have almost zero chance of exercising and grinding!

From these accounts, Grimm also finally understood why Grimm would prefer to become a stray wizard rather than join the family of wizards.

The group of wizards, although it looks bright and bright, really needs to go deeper into it to discover that the inner oppression is also desperate.
