Age of Adepts

Night fell quickly.

In the small temporary camp, the bonfire was lit, and a strong smell of broth slowly diffused over the stone wilderness.

Perhaps it was because of the core of the earth element in the afternoon, Wizard Lagu was obviously in a particularly good mood, and even a rare smile appeared on his skinny and brown face.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to serve him broth and soft bread, Jack, who had a tough look on his face, also asked for an idea with a smile on his face.

"...My lord, our little Tom has been smart since he was a child, and he can learn everything at once. Unfortunately, he has never found a mentor who is willing to teach him...so...so..."

"Every child under the age of ten will have someone to test their talent potential. Doesn't your kid have wizard talent?"

"Yes... definitely... but... according to the master wizard who tested his talent, our little Tom has a hidden talent, and he needs to use awakening potions to activate his talent before he is ten years old, otherwise he will disappear forever .”

"Hidden talent..." Wizard Lagu couldn't help shaking his head secretly.

In the Wizarding Continent, every ten years, specialized wizards would travel to and from various places to inspect and search for young children with wizarding talents, and then gather them and send them to the Wizarding Tower. However, the situation in Sandi Tallinn is quite special. Each family has its own fixed territory and people. Under normal circumstances, other wizard families will not be allowed to recruit wizard apprentices in their own territories.

Therefore, those wizard families or organizations without private territories also lost the opportunity to obtain new blood. If things go on like this, it will be a strange thing that the inheritance will not be cut off!

And when family envoys travel around the territory, looking for apprentices with wizard talents, they will inevitably encounter this special individual with hidden talents. Their wizard talent was blocked from the moment they were born. If they couldn't activate their hidden talent in a special way before they were ten years old, this talent would be healed by their own blood, thus completely losing the possibility of activation.

For these hidden talents, most wizard families with insufficient strength will choose to abandon them and will not devote any resources to them. As for the reason, it is very simple. The awakening potion that activates the hidden talent is worth 120 magic crystals, and the apprentice after activating the talent is not necessarily much better than the normal apprentice.

If you can't advance to the rank of wizard smoothly, you will lose a lot of money in this deal.

Not many wizard families are willing to spend 120 magic crystals to bet on an apprentice whose talent is unknown... This is the most fundamental reason why they were abandoned!

And without the resource tilt of the wizard family, ordinary mortal families can't afford the huge price of 120 magic crystals.

You know, the magic crystal is the hard currency of the wizarding world, and it has almost been completely monopolized by the wizarding group. If ordinary aristocratic families do not have connections with wizards, no matter how many gold coins they have, they will not be able to buy the corresponding magic crystals.

And all wizard resources are traded in magic crystals, and gold coins are never accepted.

"Have you saved enough magic crystals to buy awakening potions? If you have enough, I can help you buy an awakening potion!"

"I can make enough next year. I heard that Dagon is recruiting an adventure team to explore the Black Forest. Each mission will cost 10 magic crystals. I want to go there and try..."

After listening to Jack's words, a long-lasting smile appeared on Wizard Ragu's face.

"For the sake of your diligent service in the past few days, I will remind you. Don't go to Dagon no matter what, and don't leave Elovis even if they give you a good reward. Maybe someday in the future, you You will find that the only safe place in this world is Elovis..."

After simply mentioning a few words, Wizard Lagu fell silent.

After all, the matter of Mo Tide is limited to the small circle of wizards. All wizards who know the inside story have signed a confidentiality agreement with the family, and will never leak the real information to the mortal world. Therefore, this simple point is already the greatest saving that Wizard Ragu can do.

If this Jack is determined to leave Elovis and go to Dagon, he and his family may be at risk when the tide of magic breaks out.

And in Elovis, this is the stronghold of the Crimson Family and the residence of the Houghton Academy of Witchcraft. The strong family strength allows them to guard this place without leaking rain or shine. No matter how fierce the demon tide is, Ailuoweisi will be the safest and calmest area in the middle of the entire continent.

none of them.

Throne of Fire.

Greem sat peacefully on the fiery red stone chair, listening to the reports from Meryl and Emelia in the magic water mirror in front of him.

"...After years of hard work, the White Tower has expanded 300 miles of activity space in the Black Forest...Doverland City is in front of it, and the monsters in the Black Forest can't rush out at all..."

"Doverland City currently has a permanent population of 20,000, nearly a hundred large and small mercenary teams, and a twelve-person wizard team stationed there all the year round... Recently, I plan to build another medium-sized one in Doverland City. Wu Tower, to ensure that the family's painstaking efforts over the past two hundred years will not be washed away by the tide of demons..."

"At present, I have enough basic manpower here, but there is still a gap for high-level wizards...Especially in the future, the witch tower on the Doverland side will need a high-level wizard to sit in charge, and this requires a lot of support from the teacher... ..."

After listening to Meryl's report in one breath, Greem's expression was indifferent. He tapped the porcelain cup in his hand with his fingers, watching slight ripples appear and disappear slowly. The curling heat carried a refreshing fragrance in the room floating.

"I know you want to transfer Billis there, but the situation in the central part doesn't allow him, he must stay in the central part." Greem raised his hand to stop Meryl from arguing, and said in a deep voice, "You also need people there, I will transfer Aridina and her green dragon team over there. In this way, you don't have to worry about the shortage of manpower!"

"Yes!" Hearing that it was the Emerald Beauty Dragon Aredina and the Green Dragon Squad, Meryl immediately beamed with joy. These years of dating made her and Aridina become quite close partners.

What's more, the blood of the dragon race flows in the body, and the sense of intimacy from the depths of the soul cannot be replaced by others!

After Meryl finished speaking, it was naturally Emelia's turn to control Elovis and Crimson Wings.

"My lord, after these years of development, the Black Forest to the east of the Throne of Flame has fallen into the actual control of the family. Medusa Dana gathered a strong team there to help the family stabilize the surrounding area. territorial order."

"It's just that there is still a lack of a stable support there. At present, there are three selected by exploration, Eagle Head Mountain, Broken Wood Valley and Spider Forest. I plan to build a small city in Broken Wood Valley as a necessary forward base. Wait until the demon tide breaks out At that time, two floating giant ships and Molong No. 1 will be dispatched to sit there, and it will not be too difficult to deal with the herd of beasts..."

"As for the space gaps that may appear in the territory, I have mobilized all the crimson wizards and apprentices to trample the entire Elovis area, marking and sealing every space singularity and gap."

"For those that are not in great danger, the main thing is to seal them; for those that are at risk of turning into space cracks, repair the war witch tower at the side according to the degree of danger... I think there is such a measure. When the magic tide breaks out, the Crimson Territory will be hit. The harm can be minimized..."

Greem listened quietly, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with this arrangement, he turned his gaze to Kirby at the corner of the screen.

Seeing that it was finally his turn to speak, Kirby immediately danced and reported.

"My lord, the new magical puppet dragon Demon Dragon No. 2 will be ready for battle soon. Look..."

Hearing the news, Greem finally showed a smile on his face.

"What about the giant floating ships? Now the family only has ten giant floating ships, which is not enough. I hope to get twenty ships before the arrival of the demon tide. Is there any problem?"

"Twenty ships?" Kirby, who was elated one moment ago, got stuck in the next moment, swallowing his saliva and said, "My lord, you must know that after all these years of drilling and mining, the mineral reserves of the goblin plane are almost Exhausted. Even if I mobilize all the goblin engineers to work day and night, I can't do it without a sufficient amount of magic iron alloy!"

"You don't have to worry about the magic iron alloy..." Greem cut off directly: "I found you an iron mountain from outside the territory, the only thing you need to do now is to send goblin engineers to set up a smelting plant there, and put all All the metal ores are extracted for me..."

"Extraterritorial..." Upon hearing this terrible name, Kirby felt a little cramp in his calves. There is a restricted area for plane life, even if you are a second-level identity, it is very dangerous to venture outside the domain, let alone a goblin engineer who does not have many protective measures.

"Don't worry, I've made arrangements over there. The goblins sent over will be protected by the different brain Gazlowe, just let them concentrate on their work!" Speaking of this, Greem changed the subject: "Besides, the new I don’t plan to transfer all the ten giant floating ships I built, but leave half of them to defend the goblin plane!”

"The goblin plane was originally a low-magic plane. Even if the gate of the plane is open, there are not many guys who are willing to go there. There are five floating giant ships, three thousand new battle magic equipment, and the magic dragon No. 2 ...This kind of power should be more than enough to protect the entire goblin plane!"

"Yes yes yes... On behalf of all the goblins, I thank you for your concern!" Inside the magic water mirror, Kirby and the several goblin leaders behind him couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, with smiles on their faces.

"However, I still need to recruit the Goblin Mechanic Corps as a mobile force to stand by in Elovis. After all, the central part of the continent is too big, and any mistakes may lead to catastrophe. Therefore, a team that is strong enough and mobile A strong quick-response force is still necessary!" After playing with the red dates, Greem calmly gave new instructions.

Kirby and the goblin leaders hurriedly looked around, not daring to raise any opinions.

The demon tide is about to break out, if the goblin plane makes some small moves during the demon tide, the Crimson family will be in a dilemma. Therefore, no matter how much Greem trusts Kirby, Gongga and others, there are still necessary checks and balances.

This 3,000-person goblin mechanic group is the essence of the goblin plane gathered over the years, including almost all goblins with fighting talents.

If any of the goblin leaders wanted to break free from the control of the Crimson Family, they had to consider the 3000 goblins held as hostages in Greem's hands while fighting for independence.

The goblin plane cannot afford such a huge loss!
