Age of Adepts

With the establishment of the witch tower of the headquarters of the Crimson Family, the Throne of Flame has completely become Greem's private witch tower.

Except for Greem, there was no living person to be found in the entire Wu Tower.

And Greem lived in seclusion here for a long twenty-one years.

During this period, it took Greem a year to complete the replacement of the star beast blood, and then another half a year to adjust his breath and raise his body. After completely merging the blood of the star beast, he carefully removed the Balrog's heart in his chest, cleaned the Balrog's transformation pattern, and then used the power of flame to construct a "heart of flame" at the heart's position. '.

For seven whole years, Greem has been soaking himself in the energy pool, frantically devouring and absorbing the berserk flame energy, and subtly nourishing the 'heart of flame' in his chest.

It was this Heart of Flame that took Greem seven years to conceive!

With this Heart of Flame that perfectly fits his wizard talent, Greem doesn't have to worry about running out of witchcraft energy even after he advances to level 4. Even in those low-magic or non-magic spaces, as long as the heart of flame is not damaged, Greem will never be in danger of energy shortage.

After finishing the Heart of Flame, Greem let go of all his concerns and began to attack the fourth level wholeheartedly!

In order to avoid interference from the outside world, Greem was guarded by the Crimson Family and the magical puppet dragon outside, and protected by many magical weapons and puppet inside, he sealed off the Throne of Fire and isolated the internal and external teleportation arrays, completely losing contact with the outside world. made all connections.

And this closure is a long thirteen years!

During this period, not only the top management of the Crimson Clan couldn't contact Greem, but even Mary and Alice couldn't enter the Throne of Fire to find out about his recent situation.

until...

This day is the day of the new Crimson Academy's new selection contest for young witches.

Numerous wizard apprentices who aspired to join the Crimson Clan gathered in Namlis one after another, and showed their skills here, hoping to be selected by the wizards within the family, thus becoming a member of the Crimson Clan.

The form of selection is carried out in the form of ring competition.

The wizard apprentice who has drawn a fixed number of cards stepped onto the ring and tried his best to display his abilities in order to defeat his opponent. On the tall stone platform on one side of the arena, there were densely packed garrison wizards from various branches of the Crimson Family and the core wizards of the headquarters.

Apprentices who can win 5 games in a row will automatically become full members of the Crimson Clan and be assigned to each core wizard. And those apprentices who failed, if they are picked by a certain scarlet wizard, they can also become foreign disciples as auditors.

Therefore, regardless of victory or defeat, the apprentices who step into the ring will do their best to show their talents in witchcraft to their heart's content.

However, when the selection was in full swing, an apprentice who was watching the battle turned his head inadvertently, and suddenly pointed at the distant sky and screamed.

"Then... what happened there?"

Everyone turned their heads, only to find out in shock that at some point in time, the sky in the distance was ablaze, and the whole sky seemed to be on fire suddenly, and continuous pieces of flames and clouds could be seen everywhere.

The wizards of the Crimson Clan immediately ascended to the sky one after another, and began to use various witchcraft methods to detect the situation in the distance. But it is a pity that no matter whether it is the magic wand of prophecy or the exploration of witch spirits, more detailed information cannot be obtained.

Was there a large-scale energy leak in the Wu Tower, or did something terrible happen somewhere?

Just as everyone was discussing, a core wizard from the family headquarters suddenly screamed.

"It's the Flame Throne... That direction is the position of the Flame Throne!"

As soon as he reminded him, the rest of the wizards immediately understood.

That's right, 300 miles away in that direction is indeed the place where the family originated—the place where the Throne of Flame is located.

But over the years, with the closure of the Throne of Flame and repeated warnings from the top of the family, no family wizard dared to get close to it. Even the usual communication and chat, the Flame Throne is a rather taboo topic, no wizard dares to discuss anything openly.

Therefore, as time went by, everyone gradually 'forgot' and 'neglected' the existence of the Throne of Flame!

However, today, with the appearance of fire clouds all over the sky, everyone couldn't help feeling restless.

Could it be... Could it be that the Patriarch who has been dormant for a long time has some new news?

Just as the wizards were gesticulating and discussing heatedly, two streaks of light, one red and one green, suddenly flashed across the sky. And before them, a faint figure with a slender figure can be vaguely seen.

"It's Lord Wen Lier and Lord Gargamel..." a wizard shouted.

The rest of the wizards also nodded.

The strong fire elemental aura and the frightening dragon's might emanating from that red light trail are exactly the unique and strange aura of Mrs. Wen Lier. And the green light traces are full of dreadful curse smells, no need to ask, it must be Lord Gargamel.

As for the indifferent figure earlier, all the wizards looked at me and I looked at you, with a strange smile of "you know" on their faces.

Within the Crimson Family, everyone knew that the stunningly beautiful but ruthless Lady Mary was the 'companion' of the legendary Patriarch Greem. At this moment, the Flame Throne, which has not received any news for so many years, suddenly came to such a move. It is no wonder that Lady Mary is not in a hurry to go!

Could it be that the Patriarch has left the customs?

You must know that the master of the family is retreating this time to attack the fourth-order wizards. If he really came out, wouldn't it be...

For a moment, all the wizards looked at me and I looked at you, and their hearts were full of enthusiasm.

Over the years, the Crimson Clan has held tightly to the Elovis region without expanding a single bit of land.

Why?

The reason is to wait for the news from the Patriarch!

There is not a decent fourth-level wizard in the family. Although it has been regarded as a "fourth-level force" by the outside world more than 20 years ago, there is still a trace of lack of self-confidence in the heart.

And now there is movement from the Patriarch, which may indicate that there will be a huge change in the family. And these changes, for these grassroots wizards and apprentices, often indicate a large amount of resources and inexhaustible magic crystals.

…………

Mary was the first to rush to the Throne of Fire.

Standing in mid-air, Mary bent down and looked down, and could see wisps of dark red aura emanating from the ground around the flame cave and into the air.

In all areas shrouded in dark red aura, the earth began to slowly transpiration, and the ground began to dry out and melt. The green plants growing on the ground began to wither and wither quickly, twisting and struggling painfully.

When Mary was in this dense fire cloud, she obviously felt a little difficult to breathe.

The surrounding air seems to have been heated, and as the breath rushes into the alveolar trachea, there is a faint burning sensation in the whole body.

Just as Mary was frowning and looking at all this, a stern wind like a tsunami came from behind, and Wen Lier, who had transformed into a dragon, flapped her red dragon wings, and rushed straight to Mary's side.

"Master Mary, is the teacher coming out?" Wen Lier asked impatiently as soon as she got here.

Mary shook her head distressed.

"I can't get in touch for the time being... The fire elemental breath below is too strong, enough to distort and block any witchcraft detection, and I can't get in touch with that guy!" Speaking of 'that guy', Mary was full of anger.

Originally it was only said that the retreat would hit level 4, but it had never been said that the retreat would take such a long time.

Although sufficient food and a large number of elemental servants were reserved in the Flame Throne, Mary was still worried about being unable to contact her for a long time. If it wasn't for Alice's dissuasion, I'm afraid Mary couldn't hold back and rushed in to see if 'that guy' was alive or dead!

Just when the two of them were muttering together, discussing whether to go in and have a look, a strange smell came from behind, and Gargamel, who had a giant snake's head on his head, also hurried over.

"Miss Mary, home..."

"Okay, okay, don't ask, I don't know what that guy is doing now! But judging from the flames all over the sky, he should have successfully advanced. I just don't know why he played this game, Make such a big battle?"

As soon as Mary's voice full of resentment fell, Greem's crisp and hearty voice suddenly sounded in the sky.

"Do you think I made these fire clouds? Hmph, I can't do anything now..."

"is teacher……

"It's the Patriarch...""

Hearing this voice, Wen Lier and Gargamel couldn't help cheering in surprise at the same time.

"Okay, you guys don't have to worry about it. Now that you're all here, let's come in and have a look!"

As soon as Greem finished speaking, the three of them felt the dark red aura around them suddenly gather quickly, wrapping their bodies tightly. Then in the next second, without any psychological preparation, the light and shadow flashed in front of them, and they instantly appeared in a huge and magnificent temple of witchcraft.

There was nothing in the hall, except for a fiery figure with a height of 100 meters standing silently in the center. And the position of the flame figure's chest is emitting a blinding and terrifying glare, making the entire hall glow red.

"Old...teacher..."

Wen Lier had already returned to her human form at this time, standing at the feet of the 100-meter giant, raising her head so that she could hardly see its entirety. When she sensed the familiar soul fluctuation in the flame giant's body, she couldn't help calling out hesitantly.

"No way, my current form is a bit special, and I won't be able to completely return to a human form in a short time. So... you will just look at it like this!"

As soon as the flame giant opened his mouth, the sound of flames rushing like mountains and tsunami sounded in the witchcraft hall.

For no reason, the temperature in the hall began to soar, reaching an unbearably terrifying level in an instant!
