Age of Adepts

Time stood still for an instant!

The mechanical heart jumping in Vanessa's chest was pulsating crazily and pumping out excess energy. The violent and ferocious witchcraft energy crazily accumulated in the cold and stiff metal body, reaching the limit threshold of self-explosion almost instantly.

Vanessa's pupils were full of unconcealable hatred and unbridled madness.

Although the plan she had worked so hard to plan for more than 40 years was shattered, but if she could take away the nasty woman in front of her, she might be able to make that demonic and powerful evil wizard feel a little bit of regret for his hasty invasion of the goblin plane.

It doesn't need too much, and it can't be too much, as long as it can make that demonic man feel 'a little' regret, Vanessa is satisfied!

It's a pity that when the crazy light was still shining in her pupils, outside the perception of her spiritual consciousness, the whole world, this world, suddenly 'stilled' for a moment.

In fact, the world does not stand still, nor does the heaven and the earth stop running.

But what really changed was the speed of 'that hateful woman'!

When a person's speed suddenly increases ten times or a hundred times, then in her field of vision, everything around her is probably slow and stagnant.

When the Tier 3 Mechanical Heart in Vanessa's chest suddenly went berserk and was about to explode, the Blood Queen Mary who stood ten steps away in front of her also suddenly entered a hypersensitive state.

In the state of hypersensitivity, everything around is suddenly quiet and stagnant, and all people and objects within the field of vision are flowing in an extremely slow and distorted form and time dimension. In this state, the originally insensitive air suddenly becomes viscous and stagnant, which consumes more energy when people walk in it.

And the only one who can move in the entire "stationary world" is probably Mary.

Like a beautiful woman strolling in a courtyard, she walked slowly to Vanessa with graceful and calm steps, leaned over to look at the face distorted and deformed by anger, and tapped the already distorted face with her fingers. It was red and hot, emitting a dazzling red glow, as if it contained the chest of a small sun that was about to explode, and only then did a slight smile appear on its face.

In the next second, a small and exquisite dagger suddenly appeared in Mary's hands, and with her quick movements that were difficult to discern with the naked eye, it quickly pierced into the tiny, undetectable gap in Vanessa's metal body.

The golden dagger is flying.

As if an elegant pianist was playing a beautiful movement, Mary effortlessly cut and dismantled all the metal components and joints below Vanessa's neck, and used The golden dagger gently picked out the mechanical heart that was still pulsating crazily.

At this moment, Mary just voluntarily exited the hypersensitivity state.

Thus, under the almost unobserved spiritual perception of everyone, Mary suddenly appeared in front of Vanessa like a god, grabbing her head with one hand, and holding a strange metal heart with a dagger in the other. However, Vanessa's metal body was scattered all over the ground like a pile of sand that had lost its support.

"……Bar!……"

Vanessa didn't seem to be aware of the abnormality around her, she was roaring crazily. But as the last long sound of the word "bar" dragged on for so long, the wild self-destruction that was waiting did not happen for a long time. Vanessa couldn't help closing her mouth, and looked around in horror.

It wasn't until this time that she discovered to her horror that her body had been scattered into an unrecognizable metal part. And at this moment, only her solitary head was held up in the air by the other party.

No, no, besides the head, she still has a heart left, a mechanical heart with Tier 3 energy, which is being gently played with by the other party.

As for the self-explosion, without the support of the body and the control of the consciousness, this mechanical heart, which has just been acquired for less than a year, cannot be remotely controlled based on the degree of integration between Vanessa and it. Therefore, the mechanical heart, which had almost reached the self-explosion threshold, was slapped and trampled playfully by Mary, and the energy inside quickly leaked out, like a tire whose valve had been pulled out, visibly shriveled and shriveled.

"Little guy, you have only taken a few steps in your wizarding path? With your strength, what kind of tricks do you want to play in front of a high-ranking wizard? Hmph, remember, among wizards, strength is really everything. I If you don’t want to let you die, you will never want to die!” After holding Vanessa’s head in front of her eyes and taunting her, Mary threw it far away to the wind witch Desera.

"I'll leave this little girl to you. Remember to torture her and find out everything she knows."

The wind wizard Desera took Vanessa's only remaining mechanical head, with a hideous and terrifying smile on his face, he said repeatedly: "Don't worry, Lady Mary, I will definitely put everything in her mind to death." Squeezed out!"

This time the goblin rebellion caused too much damage to the mechanical city, and it also wiped out the face of his garrison wizard. Therefore, the mastermind behind the scenes fell into his hands, how could he spare her lightly.

Seriously, this goblin rebellion is actually more of a farce.

With the strength of the goblin family, they are completely powerless to resist or get rid of the enslavement of the Crimson family. Therefore, their separation plan is doomed to fail, and will only attract the wrath and suppression of the family's high-level.

And the reason why the situation in front of him is so unbearable, I have to say, it also contains a part of the responsibility of the hidden 'black hand'. As for who the secret 'black hand' is, everyone present knows it well, but they can't produce solid evidence of the other party's involvement for the time being.

Losing Vanessa and running away those goblin dignitaries, the magic weapon group organized by the rebels was defeated by the wizard troops of the Scarlet family almost instantly, and was completely defeated.

At this moment, the situation of the battle has become so obvious that those "neutral factions" who were huddled in the mechanical city finally couldn't hold back, and ran out to maintain order and attack the rebels.

All of a sudden, the mechanical city was full of flames of war, and the combat magic weapons belonging to both sides fought to the death and life in various regions, and the fight was turned upside down.

And taking advantage of this time, Mary led the vampire troops to regain the central witch tower.

A moment later, a huge projection of a woman appeared above the mechanical city, and it was Mary with a sweet smile on her face.

"People of the Mechanic City, due to some well-known reasons, the Mechanic City is about to implement a short curfew and military control. From now on, those who continue to stay on the streets will become our enemies and will be attacked by the wizard guards. Before the rebels are thoroughly cleaned up, all goblins must stay in their residences and expel all suspicious outsiders. If you refuse to implement this order, you will also be regarded as an accomplice of the rebels and will be attacked by the wizard guard ..."

Following Mary's shouting and deterrence, the chaotic flames of war on the streets were quickly extinguished, and all the goblins rode on Chocobos and rushed to their homes desperately. And in this way, those outsiders who got in among them undoubtedly became extremely eye-catching.

More than 30 vampire wizards flapping their bat wings and floating above the mechanical city didn't know that they were their targets, and swooped down one by one, pursing their lips and screaming.

A new battle will break out soon!

And in the central witch tower of the Mechanical City, Mary was silently waiting for the news of the wind witch Desera.

Soon, Desera walked in with the goblin Kirby with a dignified expression.

"Well, what kind of harvest have you got?" Mary asked.

"My lord Mary, although there is no direct evidence, the memory fragments extracted from Vanessa's soul show that that guy did participate in the goblin rebellion. And the second-generation magical machines that appeared in large numbers in the rebel army are the ones sent by that guy. Come reinforcements!" Desera said through gritted teeth.

"Moreover, we captured several leaders of the goblin rebels and found that they all showed signs of being invaded by psychic abilities..." Goblin Kirby also added beside him.

Mary tapped the table with her slender fingers, narrowed her scarlet eyes, thought seriously, and finally spoke.

"Purpose? Who can tell, its purpose? To overthrow the rule of the Crimson Family by relying on these ineffective goblin rebels? I don't think that guy should be so mentally retarded! Then it took so much trouble to twist together with these goblin rebels What exactly do you want to do? Isn't it afraid to annoy Greem and settle accounts with it?"

"My lord..." Desera hesitated for a while, and finally told the truth: "I just checked the inventory, and the other losses in the Central Wu Tower are not heavy, but... the 60 tons of Quelas alloy in stock... ...but it's gone!"

Mary's fingers suddenly froze in mid-air.

As the real high-level member of the Crimson family, she knew very well in her heart that these quelas alloys were the core resources for the family to build the magic furnace. And each magic furnace means a giant floating ship or groups of high-level magic equipment.

And their significance to the Crimson Family is undoubtedly enormous!

"Okay, very good... It seems that that guy is determined to tease the family's psychological bottom line. Well, great, I want to see how far he wants to go!"

Under the full suppression of the vampire wizard, the rebels in the mechanical city were quickly wiped out.

In addition, the wind wizard Desera also took the opportunity to clean up a group of diehards and conservatives in the goblin camp, and once again firmly controlled the powerful magic force of the entire Mechanic City.

Mary, on the other hand, left Soros and the vampire troops in Mechanic City, temporarily suppressing the place for Desaiella. As for herself, she turned around and returned to the wizarding world, and quickly found Greem on the Flame Throne.

How the two sides communicate and communicate is naturally unknown to outsiders.

However, after Mary, who was in a rage, broke the news to Greem, there was no more news like stone sinking into the sea.

After leaving the Flame Throne, Mary returned to the new headquarters of the Scarlet Family, the Wu Tower, and never mentioned this matter again. Greem, on the other hand, was still hiding deep inside the Throne of Flame, unable to move an inch.

After the entire family cleaned up the rebellion, there was no follow-up action, and it seemed that they had no intention of pursuing the black hands behind the rebellion.

So, the time passed day by day...
