Age of Adepts

Keslinburg.

Inside a heavily guarded secret magic hall on the bottom floor.

A huge light group with a diameter of 100 meters floats in the center of the hall, maintaining close contact with hundreds of magical witch formations around it through countless silvery-white beautiful light bands.

The light band is not a pure energy flow. If someone is lucky enough to capture a section and magnify it ten thousand times for observation, he will find that the so-called light band is actually an energy jet formed by densely packed tiny runes twisted and linked together.

Each tiny point of light is a miniature rune light array.

There are hundreds of light belts, and the light spots on them are densely packed. They are intertwined and linked to each other, and then outline and build a more complex and grander rune light array system at the upper level.

In the light group, a pair of indifferent and strange eyes are silently watching the operation of the entire rune light array system. And behind the light ball, there was a thin, withered body of an old wizard who had almost lost all his hair.

Just when the entire rune light array system was running perfectly and self-consistently, an unusually gorgeous light band penetrated countless layers of stone walls, crossed hundreds of defensive witch arrays, and pierced straight into the skinny brain of the sleeping old man in the light group. middle.

"Yuri, wake up, wake me up..."

The sound was so loud* that the surrounding light bands began to distort and vibrate a little. However, under the gaze of those indifferent and strange eyes, all these quickly returned to normal, and did not interfere with the operation of the rune light array.

Finally, under the urging of the loud voice, the thin, withered old wizard slowly opened his eyes.

"Damn it, which bastard came to disturb my old man's sleep again? Don't you know... Uh, Lord Fried, why is it you?"

The old wizard just woke up, his head was still a little dizzy, and while complaining, he connected to the spiritual stream of consciousness. As soon as his 'weak' spirit touched the other party, he immediately recognized the latter's unique mental fluctuations, and quickly closed his mouth and showed a flattering smile.

"Yuri, you assured me that the activated Keslin is completely under our control. Then what happened to the illegal empowerment two days ago? Why did it suddenly get out of control?"

"So that's what happened!" Yuri is a third-level wizard, and he is a ruthless character who stomps his feet outside, but in front of a fourth-level wizard who comes to ask for sin, he can only nod and bow in a hurry Explanation: "This was a small mistake on my part when setting up the empowerment rules..."

"What mistake?" Hong Da voice asked dissatisfied.

"When I determine the operating rules for Keslin, the third-level wizards in the association will have the second-level authority..."

"This is the unanimous opinion of all the fourth-level wizards in the association. Is there any problem? That kid was not a member of the association at the time!"

"The problem is that Keslin felt the same kind of breath in him, so he included him in the ranks of his own, and even triggered the empowerment mechanism at the same time!"

"Same kind? What do you mean... that kid also has some kind of activated life?"

"Yes." However, the old wizard added casually: "Of course, it may also be something similar to the activation of life!"

Hong Da's voice was silent for a moment, and then he said, "This is somewhat possible. According to the information from the Association, that Greem is bound to a soul weapon, and it is said that he has been trained by him to become a human being with autonomous consciousness. Qiling exists. Could it be that what Keslin sensed?"

"It's possible, but what exactly it is, I'm afraid only by arresting that kid and examining it carefully can we really be sure. President, you see..."

"Forget it! That kid can't move for the time being." After a long time, Hong Da's voice sighed leisurely: "Recently, the Association will hold a competitive competition, and that kid is our carefully prepared protagonist, so we can't just move him casually. So , you'd better keep an eye on Keslin, don't let it make similar defensive loopholes again!"

"Yes, President, everything is as you wish!"

"Well, that's it!"

As the loud voice dissipated, the colorful and strange light belt disappeared instantly.

"Same kind? Hehe, is it as simple as a Qiling? My lord has heard that that kid can control a huge war puppet with a size of 100 meters by himself, and he also hides a strange beast that can assimilate magic metal in another world." Strange. If we can dig out the secrets in him, it will be of great benefit to my lord to control Keslin."

When only the old wizard himself was left in the secret hall, he finally couldn't help but began to mutter to himself.

"However, that kid is currently the darling of the association, and he is still pointing at him to act as a scapegoat! If you want to touch him at this time, I'm afraid..."

After thinking for a long time, Yuri, as a third-level wizard, did not dare to disobey the will of the great fourth-level wizard. He could only grit his teeth and write down all this, and then fell asleep again, and his spiritual consciousness merged with the huge light group One.

…………

Keslinburg.

In a strange room.

Sanaza casually turned off the remote contact crystal on the wooden table in front of her, and fell into a long silence.

Just when her heart was burning with anger, there was a knock on the wooden door of the room.

Opening the door, Sanaza was surprised to find that two powerful wizards in strange costumes were standing outside, looking at her with a smile.

"Gara, Dante, what are you two doing here?" Sanaza, who was hidden in the purple mist, had a sharp voice.

"Why don't you welcome us? You won't even let us in the room?" The shattered face wizard Garona standing in the front has a strange appearance. When he smiled at people, there were many cracks and cracks on his face. The dense stitches began to squirm together, and the strong visual impact was by no means something ordinary people could bear.

After hesitating for a while, Sanaza finally stepped aside and opened the door, watching the two competitors walk in back and forth.

After closing the door casually and reopening the protection of the witch array, Sanaza said in a muffled voice: "Tell me, what are you two doing here?"

The Shattered Face wizard Jia Luo glanced around the room before turning his body around. The 2-meter-tall stature and the terrifying face were full of oppression.

"Sanaza, how much do you know about this competition?"

The hazy and illusory wizard Dante also stared at the purple mist outside Sanaza with great interest.

Sanaza did not rush to answer, but stared at Jia Luo coldly, and asked, "How much do you know?"

Jia Luo grinned: "I don't know much, but it's enough."

Sanaza smiled coldly: "You are the wizard most likely to advance to the fourth level under Clara, will she take care of you in advance?"

The smile on Jia Luo's face became even brighter.

"My lord has indeed taken care of me, but..."

"Could it be that Master Clara's care is not to your liking?"

"snort……"

Sanaza turned to look at Dante, who waved his hand hurriedly and said, "Don't look at me, I have been seriously warned."

Sanaza nodded understandingly, and said sadly: "It seems that the news we have received is consistent, and the default winner of this competitive competition must be that Greem!"

"Hmm!" Wizard Dante showed a wry smile on his hazy face, "I was also warned, I can fight you two any way I want, but if I meet that Greem, I must lose!"

"The notice I received is similar to yours!" That Jia Luo also said angrily with a sullen expression on his face.

"That kid just offended Lord Declan, and it is impossible for the Association to turn to support him. Therefore, I suspect that the Association deliberately wants Greem to become a fourth-level wizard of the Association as soon as possible! Regarding this, do you two have any inside information to disclose?" ?” Sanazar stared at the two 'companions'.

Dante shrugged and made an expression of not knowing anything.

Only Jia Luo bowed his head and muttered silently, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long time, he raised his head, and said in a low voice with that frightening broken face that had been cut and then stitched together: "The Association has a problem right now. Those great wizards outside the territory demand that all the major forces must select a It is said that it is quite dangerous to perform a mission at Tier 4."

"The meaning is obvious. This competitive competition is a trap. What the association wants to give away is not the source quality, but the wizard status of the association. The four of us have already reached the third-order peak. No matter who gets the source quality, They all have the highest probability of advancing to Tier 4, and they may also comprehend some power of rules in advance..." Speaking of this, even with Sanaza's calm and calm, she couldn't help feeling a little irritable and anxious.

"Maybe we can also fight... After all, although the missions selected outside the territory are a bit dangerous, they don't necessarily guarantee death! And..." Wizard Dante's voice suddenly sank: "In terms of talent potential, the two of you Everyone is much better than me, and the hope of advancing to Tier 4 is also greater than me..."

"What's the talent and potential?" Broken-faced Jia Luo said coldly: "Which step over the level is not a life and death! The current group of fourth-level members of the association are all the most powerful third-level people at that time Is it? Humph, there is always an upper limit to all the efforts one makes, and it is that damn luck that really determines our fate!"

Speaking of this, the three wizards present couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Even if they stepped out of the house, any one of the three of them would be the proud son of heaven in the eyes of outsiders. But I know my own family affairs, the illusory halo of glory in the past is not helpful for advancing to the fourth level, and none of the three of them has more than half the probability.

This also means that promotion is a big gamble!

If you win the bet, you will naturally rise to a higher level and become a top wizard that no one can restrain in the wizarding world. But if the bet is lost...too many losers have retreated in despair, never recovering from a setback, and there are countless things that have reduced them to marginal figures.

Looking through the past history books of Tallinn, where are so many heaven's favored sons and talents? After all, only these fourteen successful people can be remembered!

Perhaps this is the deep darkness hidden behind the brilliant halo of glory of the wizard group...

"No matter what you think, anyway... I'm going to fight for those source qualities!" Broken Face Jia Luo grinned ferociously, turned and left after leaving this sentence.

Wizard Dante sighed again, and could only leave with a heavy heart.

When only Sanaza was left in the room, she also fell into a long silence...
