Age of Adepts

A new beast tide?

Doesn't that mean that any ‘investment’ in the area could suffer a terrible extinction!

Needless to say, the representatives of the two forces immediately withdrew the previous terms of the agreement and, in close consultation with senior officials, proposed a more conservative agreement.

After careful discussion and consultation, Grimm finally chose to accept the programme of the Sandtalin Wizards Association.

As a first step, it is planned that, for a period of 10 years, the Association of Wizards of the Scattered Tallinn will establish a mission point at the Fire Throne Witchtower to encourage and promote more wizards and apprentices to place their trial sites on the Fire Throne as a means of empowering the Witchtower with witchcraft.

What Grimm needs to do is run the Witch Tower and try to keep the surrounding trial safe.

Hatch wizards sent by the Wizards' Association have repeatedly stressed that even Grimm's inability to evict the encroaching demons in the northern part of the Wizards' Tower should do his utmost to secure the Black Forest in the southern part of the Wizards' Tower. Because the Wizards Association will try to open another large camp between the town of Songta and the Witchtower in an effort to upgrade to a human settlement for the next step.

In large camps like this, the Association of Wizards will certainly be staffed with the necessary wizards and apprenticeships. But if it is attacked by a massive monster, the Fire Throne Witch Tower must provide strong witchcraft support.

The high echelons of the witch tower represented by the Grigg witches and the Hatch witches engaged in difficult consultations, which resulted in numerous breakdowns between the two sides before being forced to sit back together and negotiate under high-level pressure.

After more than a dozen rounds of bargaining, the two sides finally reached a basic agreement when the black forest in the northern part of the witch tower was once again in crisis.

In addition to previous agreements, the Scattered Tallinn Wizards Association will contribute to the construction of two transmission formations for the Fire Throne. A large communal transmission array, built in the lava lobby, is maintained and operated by witches posted by the Association. The power of the transmission array is provided by the Witch Tower, which compensates for the fees charged per transmission and the Witch Tower's 82nd share.

In addition, the Association will establish a small transmission formation for the Witch Tower, located on the fifth floor of the Witch Tower of the Flame Throne, which belongs to the internal facilities of the Witch Tower and shall not interfere with its free use.

The Grim side is undoubtedly extremely satisfied with the outcome of such negotiations.

While they have handed over proceeds from nearly 200 miles of the Black Forest Territory south of the Witch Tower, they have retained absolute ownership of the Fire Throne and this wider territory north of the Witch Tower.

There is no way, being alone in the scattering of Tallinn is indeed very susceptible to interference and blows from the various wizard families. Without the early introduction of the forces of the Wizards Association, I'm afraid the Fire Throne Witch Tower will then face a total blockade of the Camara family.

As for the Sarubo Clan, Grimm never intended to use their power from beginning to end.

Once the Sarubo family had been approached because of a temporary difficulty, it might have been possible for him to ease a lot of pressure in a short period of time. But in the future, when he wants to be separated from his family, the stakes are hard to cut apart.

And the Sarubo family seems to have seen this, and no further help has been provided to Grimm. Not only did Grimm's private invitation to the Kogan Wizards not receive a response, even Merrill Wizards were forcibly recruited back by the family two days ago.

And Meryl's departure, which also took almost half of the Wizard Apprentice, undoubtedly made the Fire Throne much weaker. Although the Geg Witch raped a large number of vagabond apprentices in advance, these average classes do not reach the intermediate level of outsiders and are far less powerful than the well-trained elite apprentices of the Sarubo family.

Therefore, the current Flame Throne, bright only two wizards, Grim and Grigg, Eva the Lin demon, cannot be publicly displayed.

Three quasi-witch apprentices, Am, Torre and Sabrina.

Kodal, an old paranoid witch, has failed once in his attempts to advance to the rank of wizard and is currently preparing for a second promotion. So for better access to resources, he returned with Merrill to the Wizard Tower in Federnand City.

Another old paranoid witch, Am, may be a little behind on his mental progress, and in a couple more years, he can start trying to advance.

Grimm wants to take full control of them, and besides the usual guidance of patience, it is the way to prepare the necessary resources for them at an early stage. Where there is so much loyalty and affection to cultivate between a wizard and an apprentice, more remains the stake in resources and interests!

Two senior apprentices, Lina and Anthony.

Anthony is a pharmaceutical apprentice of the Grigg Witch in his travels and possesses a great deal of pharmacological talent.

The rest of the apprentices are mostly junior high school students, so they have no choice but to come here and surrender. They are generally characterized by low talent potential and low nurturing value.

In addition to the righteous human race, the Fire Throne Witch Tower has assembled a group of monsters as protectors.

Nine scorpion lions were the guardian power on the bright side of the witch tower, and were later replenished with 13 bird demons and 7 serpents. And privately, Anguga and Medusa Dana, the ‘two demon dogs' active in the black forest north of the Witchtower, are actually pieces that Grimm manipulates in secret.

It is by virtue of them that Grimm is able to create a dangerous pattern of soldier warfare, holding the Fire Throne firmly in hand.

At Grimm's behest, Medusa Dana has become the new lord of this black forest, actively contacting two other monster leaders who escaped from the lava lobby, ‘conspiring’ against witch towers and human camps.

According to the feedback, the Two-Legged King has been hooked, while the other Dark Tentacle has no trace and is difficult to find.

The messengers and power representatives of the dozens of wizards' families were continuously wiped out, and Grimm once again handed over authority to the Grigg wizards, who were exhausted and hiding on the fifth floor of the Witchtower.

With this witch tower adjustment, Grimm chose to expand the space of his private laboratory with witchcraft, thus accommodating more small witchcraft laboratories.

And here, in the witch tower, only he can tread in the secret space, and even the Grigg witch has such high control over the 5th floor of the witch tower.

…………

A clean and bright circular passage continues to stretch in front of Grimm.

On either side of the tunnel, every dozen steps, there is a solid gate made of whole metal.

The center of the door is engraved with a complex and dense pattern of strange witchcraft material, which is composed of circular and irregular patterns, with dense and numb symbols etched in the voids.

This clandestine gateway to witchcraft is closely linked to the core of the witch tower and will directly touch the witch tower's guard mechanism if anyone wants to break it violently. Due to the current lack of witch tower guards and the considerable loopholes in the defense mechanisms here, Grimm also intends to order several high-ranking witch tower guards from the Silver Alliance.

After all, there is also the possibility of neglect and betrayal of more loyal monsters, while simple, fully-assembled puppets can always faithfully defend the territory.

Grimm walked a few steps and stopped in front of a door engraved with magic puppets.

He gently placed his hand in the ring of the metal door and whispered the secret phrase 'Mitholo, Gate of Witchcraft’. With the dual validation of the soul breath and witchcraft phrase, the witchcraft secret door in front of the eyes only opened silently.

Inside the secret room is a small alchemy lab, with a small alchemy table in the center of the room that is undoubtedly the finest of all models. And, of course, the most expensive.

At this time on the alchemy stage, a brilliant wind attribute dragon crystal is loaded and floating in brilliant fluorescence, silently emitting its own charming glow. And on the workbench below it, a piece of parchment with a miraculous pattern was placed in chaos. On the ground, there are more scrap drawings rubbed together...

Grim's face had to be condensed when he got here.

It has been so long since the 2nd order dragon crystal was acquired, but Grim still has no clue how to turn it into square combat power.

The dragon crystal, the top biocrystal nucleus, naturally carries a hint of rule properties and how to tap into every potential hidden in it, is also a challenge for Grimm!

Once it succeeds, it will immediately become a powerful demon puppet that transcends the fiery tyrants and is undoubtedly unprecedentedly huge for increasing the fighting power of the Squadron Formation. Grimm was even confident that he and the new demon puppet, even if he met a second-degree wizard, were not meat dishes that had no power to fight back.

But the more expectations we have of it, the more cautious Grimm will be in dealing with the new demon puppet.

So at the beginning, Grimm needs to be thoughtful and meticulous in optimizing the symbolic array design of the new demon puppet to the optimal level. And this, obviously, takes a lot of time to grind, to carve.

A thorough examination of this dragon crystal has long been completed, and now Grimm, even the thickness and direction of extension of each cluster above the dragon crystal, is all over the chest. And the chip also builds and optimizes every detail of this three-dimensional array day in and day out.

Even for some key site designs, Grimm needs to be validated with other element cores to determine its true efficacy.

In Grimm's vision, the new magic puppet should have both combat and flight applications.

Grimm, as a fire witch, has only one 'flame jump’ to maintain mobility. This is clearly not enough in the battle of high-ranking wizards. So he can't fly, which is a huge shortboard.

Although these deficiencies can be addressed by auxiliary means, a magic stick that solidifies the ‘flying technique', or a 'flying’ ring, otherwise, acquiring a 'flying magic carpet’...

But such solutions are curative, and in many critical moments Grimm does not necessarily have the time to excite these additional aids. So in order to solve this problem that has plagued Grimm for a long time at once, he intends to make this new puppet his own flying spouse.

So how this wind dragon and his witch blend talent together becomes one of his most headaches right now!
