Age of Adepts

"Hey, can you temporarily put away those bad thoughts in your mind and talk to me properly?"

Alice put her hands together in front of her, doing a lifting gesture like a lotus flower.

Urged by her magic power, a strong magic fluorescence was emitted from under the originally smooth and flat marble floor. Powerful magic power was transmitted from it, and a huge and dense strange witch formation was outlined in the void around Alice.

As the astrology ceremony unfolded, the power of the vast stars poured down from the sky, infecting the entire astrology platform with strange lights, and there were pieces of light and video clips that flashed back everywhere. But when you want to study carefully, it is difficult to grasp the meaning expressed by these strange lights and shadows.

"Drip, the existence of the law of the plane has been detected... the preliminary judgment is the power of destiny..."

"This is an unusually powerful mysterious power, even a relatively high-end one among rule powers... in the process of data collection..."

Greem looked around and saw that the entire astrologer had been completely enveloped by this strange power of command, making it permeated with a desolate and ancient atmosphere of time passing and years of erosion.

And what they were in was no longer the astrologer on the top floor of the Destiny Tower, but a vast desert.

Looking up from a distance, the field of vision is full of fine gravel, earthy yellow, shining golden light under the dazzling sun above.

There are only Greem and Alice in the big desert.

"Where is this?" Greem bent down and picked up a handful of fine sand, and crushed it with his fingers. It was rough and hard, not his own illusion, but a real thing.

"I don't know!" Alice sighed faintly: "The power of destiny is too magical, and I still can't control this power. Therefore, I can't choose where it takes me in many cases..."

"It?" Greem asked back.

"That's it!" Alice put her hands behind her back and said with a faint smile: "When a plane develops to the extreme, the consciousness of the plane will awaken, and a great will will be born. Most of the things we have seen The world of the planes only had a hazy plane consciousness, but was limited by the lack of plane resources and could not continue to grow. But the world we live in, the world of wizards, has already qualified to leap from the elementary plane consciousness to the will of the world .This... will be a wizarding world with a will of its own!"

Greem listened intently.

As a wizard who grew up from a low level, he naturally has a deep understanding of the concept of plane consciousness. But when it comes to advanced mystical knowledge, he is unable to explore and understand many secrets of the world.

But now, Alice is obviously teaching him, showing the most real scene of the plane world in front of him!

Plane consciousness has been born in the wizarding world, and it is also preparing to grow into the will of the world!

Such secrets will never exist in any witchcraft books, and of course it is even less likely to be understood by low-level wizards.

"You mean... we live in a plane world with its own thoughts and consciousness? It can hear and perceive any thought and behavior of any creature?" Greem felt a little creepy.

Alice smiled lightly: "Don't think of plane consciousness as a simple consciousness like human beings. It is more of a consciousness aggregate of hundreds of millions of lives and matter inside the plane. Its consciousness aggregate is too large and messy. , it is impossible to give birth to direct consciousness.”

"Then what does it have?"

"instinct!"

"instinct?"

"The instinct of survival, the instinct of development, and the powerful instinct..."

"Isn't this the same as those ignorant beasts?"

"That's the way it is. Plane consciousness is inherently simple. It will never be able to produce complex and sensitive emotions and consciousness like humans. It is like a baby who is not yet full moon. Although it is eager to grow up, it suffers from being unable to express it. "

"From what you said, I feel that the consciousness of the plane seems to be very fragile..."

"It's not fragile! Although it doesn't have clear consciousness and thinking, it has powerful power. It controls rules, planes, power, and us inside..."

"How did you think of bringing me here?"

"Because only here, in the package of the power of destiny, our conversation will be safe, and we will not be eavesdropped by that 'guy'..."

"That 'guy'?" Greem thought about it.

"Yes, Mesa, the first witch of fate. Now she has become a 7th-level witch!"

"Level 7..." Greem sucked his teeth and felt a little headache: "What do you mean, she is our enemy now?"

"It's the enemy of 'me'!" Alice emphasized the word 'me': "However, if you choose to help me, I'm afraid she will even count you in."

"May I ask, why is she our enemy?" Greem also raised his tone.

"Because she is too powerful, because she covets the power of the wizard world's will, because she disrupts the order of fate in the wizard world... All along, she has been stealing the fate of the wizard world by virtue of her unique ability. This has seriously affected the birth of the will of the world, so the consciousness of the plane is very angry... that's why it chose me!"

Greem listened quietly and couldn't help taking a deep breath.

Although Alice didn't say much, every word was a deep secret of the wizarding world. Without her analysis, Greem might not be able to see the real side of the world hidden behind the heavy curtains for the rest of his life.

"What do you mean, the consciousness of the plane can no longer bear the witch of Mesa, which is why the battle of fate was promoted, and her plan was designed to fail? Your choice and your growth are all under the control of the consciousness of the plane. Next?" Speaking of this, even Greem shuddered.

If...if that plane consciousness is really like a master, watching everything in the plane all the time, then do I still have privacy in front of it? Is there a secret?

"Where did you go..." Alice couldn't help but blamed: "Planar consciousness is not as boring as you! It just instinctively doesn't like Mesa frequently intervening in the rules of fate, so it will frequently launch fate disputes. Then , creating some variables that Mesa cannot control in the battle of fate..."

"You and I are the variables!"

"That's right!" Alice agreed, "But it doesn't mean we have a backer. Plane consciousness doesn't have such a clear mind to distinguish between 'our own' and 'enemies'. Although it pushes me out, it disrupts The black hand who controlled Mesa's remote control of the fate rules of the wizarding world does not care about my safety and life. If I fail, it will not mourn for me, nor will it shed a tear for me, just push it out from the plane Just a man of fortune."

"You mean, we have become a tool launched by the consciousness of the plane to fight against the seventh-level witch Mesa, but we have not received any privileges and rewards?"

"Yes!" Alice nodded and said, "Although the consciousness of the plane gave me the title of the favored person of fate, it obviously didn't mean to help me. Although I can enjoy a little convenience in the use of the power of fate, it is obviously not enough. To fight against a seventh-level witch. So, it's not that I don't want to fall into your arms, but... are you sure you want to provoke me into this big trouble?"

Greem laughed bitterly when he heard that.

I was already in trouble, but I didn't expect Alice to have more trouble than me...

Just when Alice was hesitating in self-pity, Greem suddenly stood in front of her, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her fiercely.

It took a quarter of an hour before Greem let go of Alice's swollen red lips, and said to her eye to eye and nose to nose: "From now on, you are mine. From now on, I will only bully you." You, others want to bully you, let it come to me!"

For some reason, listening to Greem's simple and rude words, hot tears flowed from Alice's amber pupils. Her nostrils were sore, her vision was blurred by tears, and her beautiful eyes were red and swollen even from crying.

She has been so lonely all this time!

In the past, Endor was by her side, comforting her and encouraging her.

But as Endor died in battle on the plane of Faen, she lost her only family member, and she could no longer find a listener for her full-hearted words, let alone a partner who could share the burden with her.

So, suddenly hearing Greem's 'love words' from the heart, the spiritual barrier that Alice had worked so hard to build for herself collapsed in an instant.

Alice's soft arms wrapped around Greem's neck in turn, and for the first time offered a passionate kiss on her own initiative. Immediately, she whispered in Greem's ear: "You will make me fall in love with you, you big villain..."

This simple sentence instantly provoked Greem's deep anger.

In the almost crazy entanglement and friction, the two figures finally merged together...

…………

Outside the astrologer, that somewhat savage little elf Helen seemed unusually quiet at the moment.

She bit her slender index finger lightly, and hid in a corner of the hall silently watching everything inside.

She obviously finds it difficult to understand certain human actions.

Obviously what was conveyed through the soul contract was joy and happiness, but what she heard was 'pain', but what she saw was begging for mercy.

But that big villain was so proud and enthusiastic that he almost 'bullied' Alice to death.

The two are obviously fighting, but why are they fighting so strangely?

And...and Alice would never like to disturb them by breaking in suddenly...

With a touch of frustration, Helen flapped her transparent wings and flew towards the 'nest' dejectedly.

Maybe you can get some guidance from your partners!

Helen thought silently.
