The Wizarding Age

Time flies by unconsciously.

Sixty-seven years...

If it were a human being, perhaps most of his life would have disappeared like this. But for wizards whose basic life span is as high as two to three hundred years, it is only 1/4 or less of their life.

As for those who have alienated their bodies and embarked on the path of bloodline mutation or elemental transformation, their life spans are as high as four to five hundred years. And it's not surprising that a vampire like Mary could even reach a thousand years.

The same throne of fire, the same wizard tower.

But the wizard apprentices living inside have undergone earth-shaking changes.

…………

Horus.

A senior apprentice affiliated to the Flame Throne Witch Tower.

He has a fair face, a tall and strong body, and wears a gray apprentice robe all year round.

As an outsider, he was recommended to the tower by a resident wizard twenty years ago. The sojourn wizard is also his only relative in this world.

But unfortunately, during a mysterious expedition invitation, his wizard elder failed to return successfully. As a result, Horus, who lost his backer, could only live alone in this mysterious and strange wizard tower.

Fortunately, the owner of this tower is wise and kind. Although he looks a little wretched, he has created a relaxed and excellent learning and living environment for the apprentices of the witch tower. Perhaps because his recommender was a sojourn wizard, Horus also acted like a librarian.

In this way, even if he does not have to follow the mercenary team to adventure in the dark forest, he can easily earn 30 magic crystal income and 10 contribution points every month. This is enough for him to live comfortably in the Wu Tower!

In the Flame Throne Witch Tower, there are seven or eight other guys with similar identities to him. Most of them are wizard apprentices who have no other place to go and simply regard this tower as their permanent home.

Unfortunately, an overly comfortable life can easily slow down their witchcraft mastery speed and spell proficiency. Therefore, many of them are stuck in the position of senior apprentice and have not made progress for many years.

Many times, Horus couldn't help but secretly wonder whether he should give up this comfortable life and follow the example of the combat apprentices, following the mercenary team deep into the dark forest, under the fangs and claws of the monsters. Sharpen your fighting skills.

In the past ten years, only one would-be wizard has successfully been promoted to wizard and became the ninth resident wizard of the Flame Throne Wizard Tower. There were as many as three quasi-witches who died during the promotion ceremony, and Horus only attended the funerals of two of them. The third one was unable to see off his 'partner' in person because his family was too far away from the witch tower, and he had a part-time job in the witch tower.

And this has become a main reason why Horus has been depressed for the past six months.

The success rate of apprentices becoming wizards has always been low. For every four or five quasi-witches, it would be great if one could successfully advance to the next level.

The Flame Throne Witch Tower maintains a rate of one advanced wizard appearing every ten years. To the outside world, this is already a completely amazing number!

The current Flame Throne Witch Tower has a total of 9 resident wizards and 12 resident wizards. Such a number is enough to crush more than half of the wizard towers in the central part of the continent.

And many wizards also attracted many wizard apprentices.

The current Flame Throne Witch Tower has a total of 215 wizard apprentices, including 17 quasi-witches, 78 senior apprentices, and several intermediate and junior apprentices...

Due to the large number of wizards and the various fields of witchcraft they specialize in, almost all basic witchcraft courses known in the wizarding world are offered in the witch tower. And every two or three days, there will be a master class that is completely open to the public.

These masters are powerful wizards with enviable achievements in certain fields. For example, the Witch of Mary, who is good at close combat, talks about the attack skills of combat wizards. For example, the Witch of Endor, who is good at mixing poisons, talks about voodoo. Witchcraft and poison science, such as the strange-looking wizard Billis tells about entomology, such as the gentle and beautiful Meryl Witch tells about instant witchcraft skills, such as the mechanical wizard Sabrina whose body has been mostly alienated. The other one is a magical machine structure...

Horus, on the other hand, was fortunate enough to be able to have close contact with all the wizards of the Wuta, and was deeply grateful for the power of the wizards.

However, recently, one thing has been deeply troubling Horus.

That is, Wizard Ava, who was responsible for teaching magical botany, suddenly stopped teaching, canceled several open classes in the academic hall, and disappeared without a trace. This undoubtedly attracted the attention of several apprentices who were studying this knowledge.

And Horus was apparently one of them.

The wizard Gargamel also didn't show up for several days. Maybe I can ask about Wizard Ava next time I see him...

Horus was diligently organizing the library while thinking silently.

However, little did he know that at this moment, on the fifth floor of the Wizard Tower, a strange event that had almost never appeared in the Wizarding World was being fiercely 'underway'...

…………

The 5th floor of Wu Tower.

A small secret room was isolated as a temporary 'delivery room', and the heart-rending screams constantly affected the emotions of the people present.

Like an ordinary human husband, Gargamel, who was thin and gaunt and resembled a large mouse, twirled his beard and hurriedly walked around outside the secret room. He raised his foot several times to break in but put it down hesitantly.

At this moment, the one hiding in the delivery room to give birth is the forest demon Ava, who has been pregnant for 69 years. She is the cold, beautiful, but mysterious Ava wizard in the eyes of the Wu Tower apprentices.

At this moment, the female wizards in the Wu Tower, Mary, Meryl, Endor and Sabrina, are busy going in and out of the delivery room.

However, although they all have witchcraft knowledge far beyond human polymaths and are far more ruthless than the bloody butcher, they can only be helpless in the face of the strange fetus in the body of the forest demon Ava, who is half human and half demon. In many cases, they are even more panicked than the Ava who screams in pain.

The fetus in Ava's body has obviously long exceeded the scope of normal life. The basic characteristics of half human and half demon make it a strange life form that is difficult for outsiders to define. So what method should be used to deliver the baby has become the most headache for several female "midwives"!

But what makes them more headache is that this strange little life seems to be in a stage of crazy growth. When it was about to fall out of Ava's belly, it actually pulled out more than a dozen fleshy filaments from its pea-like narrow body and pierced into various parts of the forest demon Ava's body, madly absorbing the other's vitality.

Seeing that the vitality of the forest demon Ava continued to fall and her life was in danger, Mary immediately proposed to force a caesarean section to take out this "troublesome" little guy. But this proposal was directly rejected by the forest demon Ava, who was in so much pain.

As the mother of a strange life form, she could sense that this kind of life backlash was crucial to the future development of the little life. Whether it was paused or interrupted, it would have an irreparable huge impact on its future.

So... out of the desire to give birth to offspring, the forest demon Ava stopped everyone from intervening, and even called Gargamel into the delivery room and began to explain the aftermath.

Faced with this embarrassing situation where they could not hit, scold, or help at all, several female wizards could only keep taking bottles of life potions to try their best to maintain the life of the forest demon Ava.

But the effect was minimal.

So, substitute dolls, false life potions, damage reduction rings... all these various witchcraft items were used at once, but they still couldn't stop Ava's vitality from declining.

Although Gargamel was extremely heartbroken about this scene, he also understood Ava's feelings. So he never dared to mention the matter of forcibly taking the fetus again. He could only keep hitting his head and occasionally taking out some strange potions or plants from his waist bag for Ava to take.

Watching your lover slowly die with your own eyes is simply the most terrible torture in the world!

Bilis, who has been watching coldly, is now also an elite wizard. As a bloodthirsty and cruel insect wizard, he is obviously very puzzled by the irrational behavior of everyone.

Is there any value in keeping a descendant of the Lord Eater?

There is simply no other answer to this question in his mind!

In his eyes, all creatures in the world are either objects that he can hunt or slaves that can be driven by him. How could he sacrifice himself for others and give his life to a completely unfamiliar descendant!

This is completely beyond the scope of his thinking and understanding as a bug wizard!

As for Am and Desela who joined the ranks of wizards in Wuta later, they can only wait for the results silently and have no right to interfere with the decisions of these veteran wizards.

Am was promoted to a wizard 50 years ago, and he was also the second quasi-witch to be promoted to a wizard after Meryl among Grimm's disciples. As for the other two quasi-witch disciples of Grimm's old batch, Tole and Lina, one died directly because of the failure of the promotion, and the other also lost nearly 80% of his vitality after the failure, and returned to the family sadly without any news.

Because Grimm completely closed himself off, he almost never accepted any apprentices after Am and others. So the wizard Desela who was accidentally promoted was actually the disciple of the wizard Meryl.

In this way, this wizard Desela can be regarded as the third generation wizard of the Fire Throne!

"No, we can't continue like this!" After briefly estimating the speed at which Ava's vitality was shrinking, Meryl couldn't help but said anxiously: "Mrs. Mary, you should notify Mr. Grimm! Maybe... maybe he can come up with some solution..."

Gargamel, who was almost about to pull out his goatee, suddenly raised his head, and his soybean-sized pupils shone with hope.

Yes, if we go to the master, maybe, maybe... he will come up with some feasible solutions!

However, just as Mary opened her mouth to predict, a deep and rich voice suddenly sounded in the secret room.

"Don't shout, I'm here..."chapter;
