Age of Adepts

Time flies unconsciously.

67 years………

If you were human, maybe half of your life would just disappear. But for wizards with a basic life span of up to two or three hundred years, it's only 14 or less of their lives.

As for those who have alienated their bodies and embarked on the path of bloodline mutation or elemental incarnation, they have a life expectancy of four or five hundred years. And vampires like Mary, not surprisingly, have even reached the millennium.

Same Flame Throne, same Wizard Tower.

But the Wizard Apprentice who lived in it had undergone an upside down transformation.

…………

Horus.

A senior apprentice attached to the Fire Throne Witch Tower.

His face was white, he was tall and strong, and he wore a grey apprentice robe all year round.

As an outsider, he was recommended to the tower 20 years ago by a resident wizard. The resident wizard is also his only relative in the world.

But unfortunately, in a mysterious invitation to adventure, his wizard elders did not return successfully. So, with the loss of Horus by the mountain, only one person can live alone in this mysterious and strange tower of wizards.

Fortunately, the owner of this tall tower is wise and benevolent, and although his appearance is more obscene, it creates a relaxed and excellent learning and living environment for the Witchtower apprentice. Perhaps because his nominee was a resident wizard, Horus mixed up the superiority of a librarian.

Thus, even if he doesn't have to follow the mercenary team to venture into the Black Forest, he can easily earn 30 Magic Crystals and 10 Contribution Points per month. That's enough for him to live in peace in the witch tower!

In the Fire Throne Witch Tower, there are as many as seven or eight other guys who are similar to him, most of them have nowhere else to go, so Sex treats this tower as his forever home Wizard Apprentice.

Unfortunately, too comfortable a life can easily drag on their witchcraft mastery of speed and spell proficiency. So a lot of them are stuck in the senior apprenticeship position, and they haven't made progress in years.

Many times, Horus could not help but conceal whether he should give up this comfortable life and learn his fighting skills under the fangs and claws of monsters, like those of the battle apprentices, following the mercenaries deep into the black forest.

In the last decade, only one quasi-witch has succeeded in advancing to the rank of Wizard, becoming the ninth resident of the Fire Throne Witchtower. Horus only attended the funeral of two out of as many as three quasi-words who fell into the promotion ceremony. The third family is too far away from the witch tower and he has a part-time job in the witch tower to send himself to his‘ companion '.

And that's one of the main reasons Horus has been so depressed for the past six months.

The success rate of apprenticeship wizards has been consistently low. It's already good to have one out of every four or five quasi-watches advance smoothly.

The Fire Throne Witch Tower, on the other hand, maintains the speed at which one progressing wizard appears every 10 years, which is a totally amazing number to put on the outside!

The current Flame Throne Witch Tower has a total of 9 resident wizards and 12 resident wizards. This number is enough to crush more than half the wizard towers in the middle of the continent.

And a lot of wizards attract a lot of wizard apprentices.

The current Fire Throne Witch Tower has 215 Wizard Apprentices, of whom 17 are Associate Witches, 78 are Advanced Apprentices, and several Junior and Middle Apprentices...

Due to the large number of wizards and the strange nature of their specialty in the field of witchcraft, virtually all known basic witchcraft courses in the world of wizards are offered in the Wizard Tower. And every two or three days, there is a fully public master lecture.

These masters are powerful wizards with enviable achievements in certain fields, such as Mary Witches, who are good at close combat, and Battle Witches' attack skills, such as Ndo Witches, who are good at formulating poisons, and Voodoo and Toxicology, such as Billis Witches, who are weird in form, and Entomology, such as Merrill Witches, who are gentle and beautiful, who talk about witchcraft instantaneous skills, such as Sabrina, a mechanical wizard whose body has become largely heterogeneous, who talks about mechanical construction...

Horus, on the other hand, had the privilege of reaching out to all witch tower wizards at close range and deeply felt the power of the wizards.

In recent times, however, one thing has been deeply troubling Horus.

The Eva Wizard, who taught magical botany, suddenly stopped teaching and pushed away several public classes in the Academic Hall, disappearing without a trace. This undoubtedly attracted the attention of several apprentices who were pursuing this knowledge.

And Horus is obviously one of them.

The Grigg wizard hasn't been seen for days. Perhaps the next time you see him, ask him about the Eva Wizard...

Horus was diligently organizing the library, thinking silently.

However, how did he know that at the moment on the 5th floor of the Witch Tower, an event that had hardly ever occurred in the Wizard World was under intense ‘progression'...

…………

Witch Tower Level 5.

A small chamber of seclusion was isolated as a temporary 'maternity room', and the screams of a ripped lung held the hearts of several people in the presence at all times.

Like normal human husbands, the slender, drenched gringo, like a large mouse, twisted his beard in a hurried circle outside the secret chamber, lifting his legs several times trying to break in and dropping them with hesitation.

At this moment, hiding in the ‘maternity ward' is precisely the 69-year-old Eva Lin demon, the beautiful and mysterious Eva Wizard in the eyes of the Witchtower apprentice.

At this moment, in and out of the maternity ward, there are several witches in the witch tower, Marie, Merrill, Ndo and Sabrina.

However, despite their witchcraft knowledge far exceeding that of human scholars and the harshness of the bloody butcher, in the face of the strange fetus of half a demon in Eva the Lin demon, they can only help, and many times more panicked than Eva, who screamed and snowed.

Eva's fetus is clearly well beyond normal life, and the half-human half-demonster's basic properties make it a strange life form that is difficult for outsiders to define. So the question of how to deliver is the most headache of a few ’midwives' witches!

But what's even more painful is that this strange little life seems to be in some kind of crazy growth phase. As it was about to ripen and fall out of Ava's belly, it pulled more than a dozen fleshy filaments from her pod-like body and stabbed Eva the Forest Demon all over her body, drawing the other person's vitality wildly.

At a time when Eva Lin's vitality continued to fall and her life was in danger, Mary immediately proposed to force the caesarean section to take out this little ‘troublemaker'. But this proposal was directly rejected by Eva, the painfully dead living demon.

As the mother of a strange life form, she is able to perceive that this regurgitation of life is essential for the future development of small life. Suspension or interruption of this process will have a tremendous and irreparable impact on its future.

So... out of the desire to breed future generations, Eva the Lin demon stopped everyone from intervening, even called the Grigg witch into the maternity ward and began to tell the story.

In the face of this embarrassing situation, which cannot be fought, scolded or helped in any way, several witches can only constantly take a bottle of life medicine and try to sustain Eva Lin's life.

But it's not very effective.

So, stunt dolls, fake life pills, harm reduction rings… these mysterious witchcraft items are all in the use of a brain, but they still can't stop Ava from losing her vitality.

For this scene, the Grigg witch, though deeply distressed, also understands Ava's mood. So don't dare mention forced foetal removal again, you can only punch yourself in the head and occasionally flip some strange drugs or plants out of your lumbar sac for Ava to take.

Watching your loved one die slowly is the worst torture in the world!

Billis, who has been watching with cold eyes, is now also an elite wizard, a bloodthirsty, brutal worm wizard who obviously knows nothing about this irrational behavior.

Is the descendant of a phagocyst worth preserving?

There was simply no second answer in his mind!

In his eyes, all the creatures in the world are either objects he can prey on or servants he can drive. How can you give your life to a completely strange descendant instead of yourself!

This is completely beyond his mindset and understanding of worm wizards!

As for Am and De Serra, who later joined the ranks of witch tower wizards, they could only wait silently for the results and were not qualified to interfere with the decisions of these old wizards.

Am was promoted to the rank of Wizard 50 years ago, and Grimm's disciple was the second Wizard of the rank after Merrill. As for Grimm's old group of two other quasi-witch disciples, Torrey and Lina, one died directly because of a failed promotion, while the other lost nearly 80% of his life after failing, and went dark back to his family without hearing from him.

Since Grimm completely sealed himself up, he hardly ever took any apprenticeships after Am et al. So the unexpectedly promoted Dracula Wizard is actually a disciple of Merrill Wizard.

By the way, this Dracula Wizard can now be considered the third generation of the Fire Throne Wizard!

“No, we can't keep dragging this on!” Simply estimating the rate at which Ava's vitality shrinks, Meryl couldn't help but panic: “Lord Mary, please inform Teacher Grimm! Maybe... Maybe he can come up with something...”

Almost suddenly, the gag witch, whose jaw goat was scratching up, raised her head and her eyes, the size of a yellow bean, emitted a glimmer of hope.

Yeah, if you go to the owner, maybe, maybe… he'll come up with something that works!

However, just as Mary opened her mouth to prophecy, a low and thick voice suddenly sounded in the Chamber of Secrets.

“No need to shout, I'm already here...”
