Age of Adepts

Just as Greem expected, the appearance of Houghton Academy of Witchcraft immediately caused a sensation in the middle of the continent.

There has never been a school of witchcraft that can gather so many high-level wizards and powerful alien creatures; there has never been a school of witchcraft that can divide its learning and experience places into dozens of sub-levels plane; there has never been a school of witchcraft that can recruit outside students so unrestricted...

Therefore, when the list of mentors of Houghton School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft was made public, the whole of Sandalinn, and even the entire central part of the continent, were boiling.

Open enrollment without restrictions on race, gender, bloodline and quota, high-level knowledge and wizard resources without contract restrictions, fair teaching without discrimination, good and excellent witchcraft facilities, and those prominent and dazzling powerful mentors...

The Houghton Academy of Witchcraft has borrowed from the training model of the Wizards Association in many places. Instead of taking family wizards as the ultimate training goal, it has opened up the high-quality resources of the Crimson Family to the outside world. It is somewhat similar to a public welfare academy of witchcraft. .

This also made Houghton School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft rooted in the Crimson family, but dissociated from the family system, and became a strange melting pot for cultivating free wizards.

From the first day of enrollment, Houghton Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry never cared about the origin of the scholars. Even if it is a guy who clearly bears the brand of other wizard families, it will accept it and provide all basic resources fairly and openly.

As long as you have the magic crystal, as long as you are willing to stay at Houghton Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the door here is always open for you.

There is no service contract, no mandatory tasks, no discrimination by blood, no distinction between high and low status... There is no distinction between teaching and learning, and freedom to come and go.

And this is undoubtedly the most attractive place!

You must know that most of the wizard families in the central part of the mainland are not living well.

Except for a few wizard families who can conquer alien planes on a large scale to grab massive resources, most wizard families are lucky enough to have a secondary plane that continuously provides magic crystals and resources.

The scarce resources in the family are all tilted towards those who are powerful or talented, and the situation of ordinary wizards and apprentices is still very difficult.

These ordinary wizards and apprentices, who accounted for the majority, wanted to obtain some resources, so they could only hold their noses and bite the bullet to make transactions with these wizard families. The terms of the transaction are either a service contract for a certain number of years, or stepping on the battlefield of the plane to fight for him on a different plane...

Either sell yourself or sell your life, there is no other way.

After all, all wizard resources have been monopolized by wizard families, large and small!

But now, the emergence of Horton School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft has provided them with a new choice.

For those wandering wizards or free wizards, they can go to the college to name themselves as tutors, and obtain corresponding magic crystal rewards by teaching open classes or refining potions, writing scrolls, concocting witch beasts, puppets, etc., and then use These rewards are used to purchase high-level knowledge that is open to the public.

Because they are free, they can come and go whenever they want, and they don't need to be restrained and dominated by anyone or any organization at all, and there is no danger to their lives. And as college instructors, they can also enjoy a certain amount of free witchcraft facilities.

This is a great thing for free wizards who have a lot of witchcraft materials in their hands but have nowhere to deal with them!

Moreover, the Crimson family is rich and powerful, and the core witchcraft tower of Horton School of Witchcraft is also top-level configuration. The sorcery facilities inside are complete and refined, even in the middle of the entire continent, they are all top-notch.

At least, those small witchcraft academies in various regions cannot compare with Houghton School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft in terms of financial, material and manpower resources. Therefore, when those free wizards and apprentices heard about such excellent conditions, they flocked to Iron Forest City.

In less than half a year, Tielin City was forced to expand three times, and the permanent population jumped from the previous 6,000 to 120,000.

This unnamed small city located on the edge of the Elovis region became the hottest large wizarding city in the middle of the mainland almost instantly because it was adjacent to the Houghton Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

…………

Feidnan City, the residence of the Sarubo family.

Amn, dressed in a gray witch robe, passed through the silent and dark magic corridor, passed through a light film shining with a faint witchcraft brilliance, and came to the public passage of the magic area.

In front of it is a relatively wide stone corridor, and family apprentices in twos and threes are rushing to the academic hall with books in their hands. In three minutes, it will be the public spell class of the wizards of Amn, so the apprentices who arrive late can only hurry up, not wanting to miss this weekly free class.

As the teaching wizard of this class, Amu will also get a certain amount of magic crystal compensation and task points from the family to support his almost bankrupt expensive witchcraft experiment.

However, when Wizard Amn walked to the entrance of the academic hall, he unexpectedly saw three apprentices, two men and one woman, standing at the door, as if waiting for his arrival.

Amn hesitated.

All three are senior apprentices under him, and they are the three with better qualifications.

Seeing Amn's arrival, the three apprentices gathered around, but you looked at me and I looked at you, with tense and apprehensive expressions on their faces, apparently having something embarrassing to say.

"What are you doing here? The class is about to start, and I don't have much time to deal with your problems... Let's discuss everything after class!" Amu frowned.

Natalie, the petite female apprentice with a little freckles on her face but still pretty, finally summoned up the courage to speak.

"Teacher, we want to bid farewell to you!"

"Farewell? Are you going on a long trip?" Anmu frowned even deeper: "Your mental strength has just reached a high level, and you are still far away from the quasi-witch level. Don't rush to experience it..."

"Not to practice..."

"Aren't you going to practice? Then why did you leave at the same time? Tell me, is there any accident in your family?" Amu said in a deep voice.

"There is no accident in our family, it's just...it's just that we want to leave here and go to another place for further study. There...the conditions offered there are very favorable, and many partners in Wuta have already set off early! And before we left, we just I just wanted to say goodbye to you..."

Amn was silent.

His face paled a little, making him look older and weaker.

Over the years, his life has been very depressing and boring.

He hangs out in the Sarubo family under the name of a traitor of the Crimson family. Although the family treats him equally and takes good care of him, countless people inside and outside who know the inside story often laugh at him behind his back.

Even those ants-like wizard apprentices met him in the corridor, behind their respectful eyes there was a look of contempt and sympathy that couldn't be concealed.

He was the first to follow the five disciples of the legendary fire witch Greem, and he was the only one among the five disciples who had a fire affinity. He actually chose to betray his mentor because of his 'loyalty' to the Sarubo family...

If that Greem died smoothly like this, then Amn would become a model to set things right, be admired and secretly praised by everyone, and even his status in the family would be significantly improved. But the world is unpredictable... The script of life seems to never be written according to the ideas of the weak!

That Greem was suppressed by the Sarubo family for so long, but he still rose strongly. What's even more frightening is that his strength has even overwhelmed the third-order witch Sanaza who ruled the Sarubo family.

During the battle of the strongest in the Sandi Tower Forest Association, Lord Sanaza was severely humiliated by that Greem, and was forced to switch to a secondary plane to rest and recuperate. And now, the one who rules and manages the Sarubo family is none other than the Lord Purple Eyes who is as famous as Sanaza.

However, just as the family was planning to take revenge on that Greem, the terrible news came that the other party... had already advanced to the 4th rank!

And the moment this news came, the entire Sarupo family fell silent.

Tier 4... Tier 4... Tier 4...

In the world of wizards, Tier 4 is the top existence!

If that Greem wanted to embarrass the Sarubo family, even if the Sarubo family had a Tier 6 great wizard backing them, it would not help.

After all, the body of the great wizard Sarubo is far outside the territory, and he is also powerless about things inside the wizarding world, and his power is difficult to do.

So, amidst bouts of inexplicable apprehension, Amu hid in the residence of the Sarupo family, never daring to step out of Feidenan city.

However, he chose to close himself, but news from afar still kept coming.

In the past two hundred years, the Crimson Family and the legendary Fire Witch were probably the most powerful in the central part of the continent.

Every once in a while, there will be the latest explosive news, which will set off a moderate wave within the family. But the news that made Amn gnash her teeth the most was hearing that the red dragon witch Meryl had advanced to the third rank...

On the night when the news came out, Amn smashed all the items in the residence and the laboratory, got drunk, lay down in the ruins and screamed in pain all night.

He always thought that he didn't care about everything in the distance. But after that night, he finally understood that he still cared!

But fortunately, time is the best healing medicine. After nearly a hundred years of silence and busyness, he calmed down again, and became the most diligent and hardworking Tier 1 wizard in the Sarubo family.

Yes, more than two hundred years have passed, and most of Amn's life has passed. Even when his face and body are a little faded and old, he is still just a senior level 1 ordinary wizard.

Today, here, I was stopped by three disciples who I personally taught, saying that I wanted to say goodbye. For some reason, Amn's heart was vaguely telling him that it might have something to do with that devilish guy.

A ferocious giant roared in Amn's heart...

Amn gritted her teeth, smiled, and asked gently.

"Tell me! Where did you attract you..."

Natalie was dumbfounded.

In the end, it was another male apprentice, Rusol, who mustered up the courage to speak out.

"Horton Academy of Witchcraft...is...was established by that...Crimson family!"

Crimson...it really is crimson!

It's that damned cursed name again... Did that demon put some kind of curse on me? I can hear this damn name wherever I hide...

Amu only felt a roar of the brain, the last trace of blood on his face quickly faded, and a fishy sweetness appeared in his mouth for no reason. He shook his body, stretched out his hands to support the side wall, and slowly fell limp to the ground amidst the terrified shouts of the three apprentices.

The last breath of life quickly slipped away from his aging body...
