Age of Adepts

Although this is a small city in another world.

But in Greem's spiritual perception, it is not much different from those human cities in the wizarding world. If there is any difference, it is undoubtedly all kinds of strange facilities and weird buildings full of arcane style.

Flat and wide streets, rows of shops, residents dressed in bright colors, neat and beautiful environment, and small open gardens and lawns everywhere...

It has to be said that among the more than a dozen different planes that Greem has experienced, the civilians of the Arcane Empire are regarded as the branch of human beings with the best living conditions and the most benefits.

Although not a single arcanist can be seen on the entire street, the style and characteristics of the Arcane Empire are everywhere.

For example, there are tall street lights along the sides of the street.

Even in the most extravagant and luxurious cities in the wizarding world, the light source used for street lamps is cheap lighting stones. But here, what is stored in the street lamp is a kind of arcane crystal with excellent magic guiding properties.

Arcane Fountain, Arcane Square, Arcane Garden, Arcane Library... Even at the door of those shops, Greem saw the arcane puppets controlled by ordinary people carrying goods.

But in the world of wizards, only wizards are eligible to own all-metal puppets worth hundreds of thousands of magic crystals!

Although the turmoil in the plane world inevitably affected this place, compared to other places, the people here are still calm and composed. After all, with the protection of the arcane tower, even those ferocious monsters from other worlds would hardly be able to wreak havoc here.

When he got here, Greem took off his thick traveler's cloak and the slightly gloomy hood, revealing his handsome face, mingling among the crowd, looking around with a smile on his face.

The town has a small population.

Even with the influx of refugees in the past six months, the total population is only in the early 50,000s.

Moreover, there are well-equipped relief places in the city, so there are not many refugees wandering and gathering on the streets, and the order in the city is fairly well-organized.

However, in Greem's pervasive and pervasive spiritual perception, the two-headed wizard has switched to the personality of Qiu Lisha, and successfully blended into the relief place where the refugees gathered. Wizard Holly and Witch Shani respectively hid in a noble villa less than 200 meters away from the Arcane Tower, where they watched the entrance of the Arcane Tower from a distance.

This arcane tower is more than 60 meters high, with nine floors above the ground and two floors underground. The entire tower is emitting a faint arcane brilliance. Even at noon in a day, the entire Arcane Tower is still radiant and dazzling.

Moreover, in Greem's powerful elemental vision, this arcane tower seems to be related to the arcane facilities in the entire small town, and hidden energy channels closely connect them with the arcane tower.

In this way, all the arcane facilities in this city are actually supported by the element pool of the arcane tower!

With such design and care, there is naturally no problem in peacetime. But once a war breaks out, these energy channels are undoubtedly a huge security risk for the Arcane Tower.

It seems that those arcanists have stayed in a comfortable environment for too long, and have forgotten what the smell of danger is!

Greem couldn't help but shook his head and sighed softly.

…………

Ryan Province, the fourth arcane tower.

"Your Excellency, Tower Master, in view of the increasing number of refugees coming from the south, the carrying capacity of Mojin City has reached its limit. I think...the refugees should be sent to a region further north for resettlement." The speaker at this time was One of the three existing three-ring arcanists in the Fourth Arcane Tower, the young and promising Leant.

He is a young man with strong brown hair, and he is also one of the current controllers of this arcane tower.

According to the basic configuration of the Arcane Empire, facilities like the Fourth Arcane Tower must have at least one fourth-ring Arcanist in charge. However, as the battle outside the barriers of the planes became more and more intense, manpower became more and more scarce. Therefore, after many transfers, only three third-ring arcanists were left guarding the fourth arcane tower. .

And the invasion of alien creatures that happened in the south some time ago also made the place become jittery and tense.

Although those terrifying disaster creatures have not yet invaded such a deep place, the huge number of refugees driven here has made the cities of the Arcane Empire unsustainable, and they have asked for help from the upper echelons of the empire.

"Lynt, do you think we can still organize large-scale population migration with the current precarious state of the empire?" The tower owner is an old man with gray temples, with a pair of old tortoiseshell glasses clipped on the bridge of his nose. The wrinkles on his face were crowded together, with a bitter and sad but helpless look: "Besides, people hiding in the city can still rely on arcane facilities and arcane towers to defend against the impact of disaster creatures. What if the organization During the migration, the team encountered those monsters..."

Although he didn't say the following words, the several arcanists present couldn't help imagining the scene, and all of them looked extremely ugly.

"Your Excellency, the tower master, during the astrological observations in the past few days, I found that there were some abnormal changes in magic power on the west coast of the Kentos continent. I am very worried that the intruders from the alien plane sneaked in. So I suggest that you might as well send an arcane observation team to investigate the reality. If the enemy really plans to invade there, we can also notify the 'Ruijing Garden' Floating Void City in time to transfer the main force, so that the Ruian province will not be like Jialan Province was breached by the enemy like that, causing millions of civilian casualties..." This time the speaker was the Sous Arcanist who was best at astrology in the Fourth Arcane Tower.

And what he said made the faces of several colleagues in the room even more ugly.

"The Jialan Province has been breached by the enemy... It has become a battlefield where alien monsters and arcane puppets frantically fight. If... if what Sous said just now is true, I'm afraid... this Ryan The province is also in danger!" The tower master sighed quietly.

"It's better for us not to draw conclusions so early. After all, the world of the plane is in violent turmoil, and some disturbances in the magic power tide are also possible. Therefore, it is correct for us to send an observation team there as soon as possible to make sure .”

"Since both of you think it is necessary, then send the thirteenth squad over there!"

"agree!"

"I agree!"

Just as the three third-ring arcanists were seriously discussing the current situation, an arcane crystal on the table in front of them suddenly turned red and flickered quickly.

Alarm... This is the alarm message that the Arcane Tower has detected an emergency.

The old tower owner's eyes sharpened sharply, and he pressed down on the arcane crystal. Immediately, an eager male voice came out from inside.

"Master Douglas, Lord Douglas, it's bad, it's bad... those refugees rebelled!"

refugee? rebel?

Such a sentence came out of nowhere, and the three arcanists couldn't help but feel confused.

However, as long as there is no invasion of alien creatures, the situation cannot be too bad.

The three arcanists immediately communicated with the on-duty arcanist in the monitoring room in a half-relaxed mood, and quickly figured out the whole story.

I don't know whether it was because of fear or because of food, violent conflicts broke out between the residents of the small town and those refugees from outside, and then caused a huge chaos.

Those refugees from outside were extremely angry, beating and looting shops and pedestrians frantically along the street. And their heading seems to be heading towards the Arcane Tower.

"Bastard, these restless guys, don't they know how much war pressure the Arcane Empire is under? They... they are still running out to make trouble at this time!"

"It seems that we need to use stricter means and methods to deal with them. Drive them out of the city as soon as possible, so that they cannot affect the confidence of local residents and cause greater panic..."

"Let me go! I will lead a team of arcane puppets and drive them all back!"

"Okay, let's split up, we can't let them spread the chaos to the whole city..."

Thus, under the control and command of several arcanists, the gate of the arcane tower opened suddenly, and the transparent arcane barrier slowly disappeared after blinking a few times. Groups of tall and mighty arcane puppets stepped out from the inside in neat steps under the command of more than a dozen arcanists, and entered the huge arcane plaza.

And in the dark, the wizard Holly and the dark witch Shani who were waiting for the opportunity also received Greem's witchcraft message in their minds.

"Let's do it! Remember to destroy the element pool first..."

"Hey, there must be a lot of good things in this arcane tower. Whoever snatches it first will get it. Don't be greedy then..." Wizard Holly rushed out without hesitation with a strange smile .

The Xia Ni witch who was nearby also disappeared suddenly, and she could no longer be found.

There was an earth-shattering bang.

As soon as Wizard Holly, who stepped forward, appeared in front of the Arcane Plaza, mysterious astral matter continuously gushed out from the void, turning into pieces of shiny blue metallic parts and splicing them together on his body. superior.

Wizard Holly strode forward.

His body got taller and thicker as he walked.

In the end, when he strode forward to those arcane puppets, he had turned into a tall metal giant with a height of 6 meters and his whole body covered with thick and dense astral components.

And under the terrified gaze of those arcanists, Wizard Holly rushed straight into the queue of arcane puppets with a strange smile...
