Age of Adepts

Chapter 743 Territorial development

Unconsciously, the once lonely and cold ice-cold collar became lively again.

Ethnic and intelligent life from different regions converges here and then struggles for a common goal.

The Wizard Apprentice of the Deep Red family, the Witch Apprentice of the Destiny Witch family, the Geophysical Apprentice chosen by the Geophysical, and the well-known Vagrant Apprentice… For them, the high echelons of the Deep Red family showed rare kindness and fairness in sharing the witchcraft facilities of the White Tower.

The spacious and comfortable living environment, the atmosphere of peace and fraternity, the powerful wizard mentor, the systematic and comprehensive library and the ample witchcraft lab… these have become the most attractive magnets, firmly absorbing the hearts of the apprentices here and the most faithful barrier of the Deep Red family.

After several months of experimental study, different groups of apprentices were also quickly differentiated. Depending on their talent potential and speed of progress, a small circle with a strong apprentice at its core also appeared silent.

And the core characters in these circles are undoubtedly quasi-woman apprentices!

Within any family, these quasi-woman apprentices belong to an extremely special group. While they remain essentially apprentices of witches, they have begun to enjoy the treatment of newcomers in many ways.

Even some of the basic disciplines of the Wizard Apprentice are taught by them.

This has led them to create a high glorious image in most apprenticeship hearts, becoming the idols of many apprentices and the pioneers of pursuit.

Little Rock, as an outsider, was introduced by the female apprentice Ike and successfully joined the small group she belonged to, a learning promotion club built around the quasi-woman Pontar.

Pontar, a human being, 37 years old, a quasi-woman, a gifted affinity and dark element, comes from a small human kingdom in the dispersed Tallinn Vikas region. In accordance with the custom of the kingdom of mankind, he also appears to possess the identity of a prince, only because he was found to possess the gift of a wizard when he was a child to be sent to the high tower of a wizard.

He was also the first freelance apprentice to choose to turn in after the creation of the Deep Red family, and his strength, of the current six quasi-watches of the White Tower, can only be counted as a midstream. But by being able to summon a powerful shadow assassin, he also belongs to the type that other quasi-watches are least willing to provoke.

Prior to becoming full wizards, quasi-witches often lacked powerful defensive witchcraft. So in the face of a shadowy assassin coming and going, no opponent wants to taste its shadowy dagger.

Originally ineligible to join the learning organization at the junior apprenticeship level of Little Rock, Eko's recommendation, and his own quirky geomechanical status, aroused the interest of the Pontar and received him around.

After two months of study, Little Rock unexpectedly awakened the genius of a geotechnical mechanic in addition to mastering basic meditation. This gives him a strange ability, similar to blood forces, to maximize the combat power of precision magic.

Unfortunately, he came to the wizard world empty-handed, and there was no powerful metal device for him to manipulate. And with the many mechanical components and magical parts in the metal apparatus, it is impossible for Little Locke's weak mental strength to support such a vast amount of fine operation.

So, under no circumstances, Little Rock had to learn some magic modification at his own expense to build an eyeball fighter out of the cheapest metal materials.

It's an eyeball fighter, but it's just a simple metal ball that can't be simplified anymore.

It is only the size of the head and relies on spraying high pressure airflow from tiny vents all over the body to push itself freely in the air. To minimize weight loss, the interior of the metal sphere has been completely hollowed out and a series of wind witch arrays have been engraved.

The most immediate consequence of this is a sharp reduction in the physical defense of the metal sphere, but in exchange for flexible and agile flight speeds.

The only way this Eyeball fighter can strike is with a ruby fragment embedded in a metal groove. Using the free element energy absorbed by the Energetic Wizard Array, Eye Fighters are able to trigger a burning ray with an energy intensity of 11 degrees through ruby debris.

Because the ruby debris is impregnated with insufficiently pure fire elements, this is the maximum attack strength that Little Rock can achieve after desperately improving it. If you want to increase the attack power of a burning ray, you can only replace that ruby fragment with a higher level split ruby.

One Ruby Piece costs only 3 Magic Crystals, while one Split Ruby costs up to 20. The huge price difference in here leaves the shy little locks in the bag with only the cheapest and easiest materials to get.

With the magic strength of Ruby Fragment, only 1 attack per 5 seconds can be sustained. Once this frequency is exceeded, there is a great opportunity to burn the Witchcraft inside the Eye Fighter and that precious ruby fragment.

But even so, a secondary magic assistant who doesn't need to manipulate too much of himself quickly makes Little Rock one of the most powerful 'people' among junior apprentices. After all, it's good to be able to inspire an apprenticeship-level witchcraft with the strength of a junior apprentice to reach 15 degrees in 5—7 seconds.

If other junior apprentices want to fight Little Rock, they need to be constantly guarded against a little metal monster that flies in and out of the sky with a red ray from time to time. With two to one, there aren't many new people who can beat Little Rock!

Almost every week, the White Tower organizes Wizard Apprentices to hunt apprenticeship-level beasts or monsters within 100 miles of the Black Forest in order to build the ability of Wizard Apprentices to fight in action. Of course, every operation the White Tower sends an official wizard to lead the apprenticeship team to the right area and then split them up.

It has to be said that the White Tower management of the Deep Red family is still fully aware of the Trial Apprentice's considerations.

If the apprenticeship team is in danger in the jungle, it is perfectly possible to approach the lead wizard for help. But in that way, the team's gains will all be attributed to the leading wizard. So, the apprentices prefer to get together with a quasi-witch apprentice just to get some extra protection at a dangerous time.

After all, with the strength of a quasi-witch apprentice, a first-order witchcraft can still be done!

This is particularly important in the marginal areas of the Black Forest. A quasi-witch who mastered first-order witchcraft, though invincible, was safe for most of the region.

This is also the best way for them to profoundly embody their values!

As for the apprentices' capture in the Black Forest, it belongs entirely to the individual or their small team. By the time they return to the White Tower, they will be able to sell the captives to a family business, or they will be able to auction themselves. In this way, the gold coins and crystals earned are enough to sustain them as they continue to survive in the White Tower.

The White Tower firms or auction houses divide the prey into 369 classes, where apprenticeship-grade beasts and monsters are sent straight to the processing plant, where the hiring goblins process them into a tightly sealed metal canister and then pack them into boxes for transport to the centre of the continent.

There, a ‘Happy Gold Coin' merchant established by Dixie Cabi will be responsible for selling them to every human noble estate and city.

Of course, the flesh of ordinary beasts is unlikely to attract the interest of human aristocracy, but the flesh and fur of low-order monsters are still very powerful.

After all, everyone knows that there is some or less elemental energy inside these demonic objects. If the daily diet can be consumed over a long period of time, it can obviously enhance the basic qualities and energy fit of the human body.

In other words, this slight change may not be seen by the wizards, but it has enormous and far-reaching significance for those human nobles who have enjoyed the glory and riches and only want to live for a few more years!

If these aristocrats are able to consume monstrous flesh and strengthen their own bodies over the years, then, more importantly, it is able to give their children a greater chance of possessing the gift of wizards.

And this is what they value most!

Of course, this change in probability may be only a minor change in the third or fourth digit after the decimal point. But under the horrible mouth of Goblin Kabi, who could speak of the dead, life was exaggerated into the flesh and blood of the beast that changed their family's destiny ever since.

After a strong operational sale, Goblin Kabi succeeded in launching a new trend towards a healthy diet in central Scatter Tallinn to improve its own physique with monstrous flesh. And this trend can't be replaced by any other family!

Although every wizard family has their own hunting team, they can't help hunting monsters and finding rare monsters to offer to wizards. They naturally also have the advantage of competing with the Goblin Kabi. At first, however, the number of hunters is too scarce to satisfy the appetite of a vast group of human aristocrats. Secondly, the preservation of the flesh and blood of monsters is also extremely difficult and requires the use of a lot of rare materials.

If it's for the wizards, the wizards who are waving money will naturally not be stingy in price and will make the hunting team a lot of money. But the same price wants to be offered to low- and middle-class human aristocrats, who can't afford such a luxurious monster meal even if they're rich.

The geotechnical engineers of the White Tower specially crafted metal sealed lunch boxes for this purpose solved this dilemma perfectly and inexpensively. This also offers possibilities for low price sales of high energy monster flesh and blood!

It was with such means that the White Tower also succeeded in finding a way for the forthcoming territorial inhabitants to survive. All they need to do is learn the simple operation of a metal factory pipeline with the training of a geotechnician, and a qualified worker is born!
