Age of Adepts

"Why did you agree to her? Don't you think there is a lot of weirdness in this matter?"

As soon as the middle-aged witch left, Alice couldn't wait to rush to Greem and question her.

Greem was stunned.

"No... Didn't you ask me to promise?"

"When did I ask you to agree? I have been persuading you not to sign this contract. You said you are sure..."

The two were talking about each other, and they were arguing, when they suddenly fell silent again.

"I might know which faction this witch belongs to!" Alice gritted her teeth bitterly.

"Deceitful witch..." Greem's mind also turned the fastest, and the strange abilities of the major witch factions quickly found the crux of the matter in his mind.

"Only they have the ability to trick us into taking the bait with deception. It seems that the guy just now disguised the mental frequency of both of us at the same time, and deceived both of us!"

Even the mental frequency can be disguised... For the first time, Greem felt secretly terrified of these deceitful witches.

You must know that a person's mental fluctuations and frequency are like his mental 'ID card', which is unique and difficult to forge. In many cases, eyes can deceive a person, ears can deceive a person, but mental fluctuations and frequency alone cannot deceive people.

This is almost a thing recognized by wizards!

Therefore, wizards rely more on their unique spiritual fluctuations to distinguish and analyze each other, rather than the eyes, ears, mouth and nose that are easily deceived.

But now, even these are not so reliable!

That damned witch, in front of Greem and Alice, communicated with both of them at the same time with a fake mental wave, misled them, and finally induced Greem to sign the damn witchcraft contract.

Since the witch is in disguise, then there is no guarantee that the damn contract is not false...

Greem's young and handsome face was full of worry: "Then... this contract..."

Alice frowned: "Helen, hurry up and prepare for the astrology ceremony, I need it right away!"

The magic elf who had been obediently perched on her shoulder immediately agreed and flew out.

Half a day later, the results of Alice's divination came out.

As expected, there are serious problems with the contract!

First of all, there is no doubt that the level 2 flame lord does exist, otherwise the witchcraft contract would not be possible at all. Secondly, the World Beacon of the Fire Elemental Plane did indeed point to the location of the Fire Lord, and there was nothing false about it.

But the only thing the middle-aged witch didn't tell Greem was that this second-level flame lord was by no means an ordinary local little lord, but a new flame lord valued by the majestic flame king Gromes. .

This Flame King Gromes might not be considered an awesome character in the Fire Elemental Realm, but in the Plane World, he is a ruthless character with a biological level as high as 5th level. Of course, in addition to its own amazing strength, it also has a fire element army with a number of up to three million.

And this is where the flame king Gromes has the strongest confidence!

Of course, the largest number of the three million fire elemental legions is still the fire element that has not advanced. But don't underestimate these low-level fire elements that even junior apprentices can easily deal with one or two. Once someone gathers them, they will still be a terrifying force that blocks people from killing people and gods from killing gods.

And the Deceitful Witch coaxed Greem to snipe and kill the most powerful second-level flame lord under the flame king Gromes.

This time, Greem's head got bigger!

Kill... The opponent's strength and power are very strong, and it is easy to provoke too powerful enemies for oneself.

Don't kill... The witchcraft contract has already been signed, and if it is delayed for a long time, it will only lock my level at the second-level intermediate level and cannot advance an inch. Although Greem has great confidence in the Crimson Clan, if the patriarch's strength stagnates for a long time, his control over the entire family will be weakened invisibly.

After all, most wizards still respect power!

Although they also value knowledge, if knowledge cannot be converted into corresponding power, then such knowledge is not worth mentioning!

"Why?" Greem asked in a deep voice.

It was difficult for him to understand that if the other party really wanted to harm him, a fourth-level witch could easily erase the entire Crimson family from the map. But the other party used such 'clumsy' and 'troublesome' methods in order to lock up Greem's power for a hundred or two hundred years?

Alice pondered silently for a moment, then said to Greem with a sad face, "I'm sorry...it's very likely that I got you in trouble this time..."

Greem asked in surprise, "Why do you say that?"

"We may have gotten too close during this period of time..." Alice sighed secretly, and explained: "The witches of the Northland have always formed a system, and they hate the intervention of external forces. After all, I am a family of fate witches." The leader of the Destiny Department, although the current strength of the Destiny Department has not recovered, but they still don't want me to be too close to an outsider..."

"That's why they came up with this gentler method, so that you won't turn against me, and you can also hit me, an outsider, from the side... They are very calculating!" Greem quickly followed Alice's words. I cleared my mind and understood the story behind the incident.

The only thing I don't know now is who is involved in this conspiracy in the Northland witch faction!

Of course, those witch leaders disdain to plot against a second-level wizard, but as long as they reveal their intention to teach Alice a lesson, there will naturally be a lot of subordinates to arrange and plan this matter for them.

So in the final analysis, Greem was still put together by these Northland witches!

"The other party was able to cover up my perception of fate in advance. It is preliminarily estimated that there should be a hypocritical witch involved. The one who came forward to induce you to sign the witchcraft contract today is a fraudulent witch. Don't be fooled by her superficial aura. I have verified just now that the one who left the original aura on the contract is only a second-level witch. She deceived the two of us so badly..."

Was that just a Tier 2 Deceitful Witch?

Greem's eyes were wide open, and it took a long time before he let out his breath slowly.

Damn, these deceitful witches are too good at deception! She was able to disguise herself as a level 4 witch without any flaws being seen by others. Even thinking about it now, Greem still feels a little unbelievable!

It seems that I set up a family framework in the territory of the Fate Witch, and after all, I violated the taboo of those Northland Witches. Previously, the Faen plane was obliged to help Alice, and the witches of the Northland could still turn a blind eye, treating Greem as a wizard controlled by Alice.

But now, Greem's Crimson family swaggered to pull up a team on the ground of the Northland witches, and propped up the tiger skins. This obviously made many witch bosses secretly dissatisfied, and began to feel that outside wizards were slowly infiltrating. Into witch land.

That's why these bigwigs inexplicably gave Greem this trick and put a poison on his eyes. And Greem knew that he had suffered a dull loss, but he could only grit his teeth secretly and swallow the bitter fruit silently.

Everyone knows how important a period of one or two hundred years is to a Tier 2 wizard. Even with Greem's outstanding talent and terrifying advancement speed, if he is locked up for a hundred or two hundred years, he will be half useless!

"I'm sorry..." Alice's eyes were red, and tears fell down.

In the final analysis, Greem still suffered from Alice's indiscriminate disaster. So it's no wonder that Alice is so sad, so resentful!

"Don't be so anxious to give up!" Greem quickly regained his composure after his anger subsided: "Tell me first, is there any way to break this matter?"

Alice looked at Greem in surprise, and saw the firm and calm light shining from his black pupils. Only then did she realize that the other party was not knocked down by this accident, and was still calmly thinking about breaking the situation and counterattacking.

This is probably the necessary quality for a person who can do great things!

Secretly feeling heartbroken for Greem's calm state of mind, Alice also wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and began to calm down and silently think about Greem.

After a while...

"I sorted out the whole thing again, and there are only three paths before us."

"First, do nothing, just wait until the contract expires. I did a divination, and this witchcraft contract can suppress you for 139 years. As long as the contract expires, with your aptitude, there is still 90% chance Be sure to advance to Tier 3 before your vitality is exhausted..."

Greem shook his head slightly, and Alice could only continue to analyze.

"The second way is to find a way to force that fraudulent witch to voluntarily give up this witchcraft contract..."

Greem closed his eyes and thought deeply for a long time before finally shaking his head with difficulty.

Since the opponent came prepared, he was naturally on guard against this method. In the territory of the witches of the Northland, it is almost impossible to kidnap a level 2 fraudulent witch, even with Alice's full cooperation. So Greem could only grit his teeth and reluctantly give up!

"Then there is only the last one left! Try to kill that second-level flame lord... As long as it dies, most of the witchcraft contract will be completed, and the remaining effect is not enough to lock your strength." Ai Li Si immediately took out the last dead end.

This road seems to be the easiest, but in fact it is the most dangerous of the three roads!

Since the other party didn't want Greem to complete the original contract, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't do something to that flame lord.

In this way, when Greem calculated the strength of the flame lord, he could no longer simply regard him as a second-level flame lord. Maybe Greem traveled along the given world marker, and what was waiting for him was the terrifying fire elemental army that the flame lord could not stop killing.

However, a flame lord is a flame lord, at best it is just a slightly stronger fire elemental creature, how intelligent it can be...

Greem gritted his teeth fiercely, and said decisively: "Choose the third one, kill that flame lord..."
