Age of Adepts

Tixter area.

Oss City.

According to the agreement, Greem disembarked from the airship at Aus City, a public wizard city closest to Molten City.

I didn't see the old wizard and the two young wizard lovers on the flying boat. Maybe they got off the boat halfway during Greem's meditation!

Greem's enormous mental power was able to detect everything that happened inside just by sweeping over the flying ship. Even in his full-frequency scan, those wizards who have not activated the protective force field can hardly escape his pervasive spiritual perception.

Ordinary Tier 1 wizards don't know anything about his spiritual perception. Only those Tier 2 wizards who are mentally sharp can vaguely detect something wrong, but it is impossible to capture the location of the source of spiritual power.

The monitoring wizard in charge of the flying ship might have noticed something, but with the power of a third-level wizard, as long as Greem didn't do anything excessive on the ship, he wouldn't dare to stand out easily.

Following the springboard, Greem slowly got off the flying boat with the flow of people.

A magnificent wizarding city loomed before him.

Sandi Tallinn in the middle of the mainland is composed of 31 different regions.

The small one covers 7.8 million square kilometers, and the large one covers several million square kilometers. The territory is vast, rich in resources, and the population accounts for more than 60% of the entire wizarding continent.

Under such circumstances, almost every region is a brand new world.

Although the local secular rulers are still human beings, they are very different from other regions in terms of race, skin color, language, and culture. It's just that under the rule and management of wizards, the wizard language rooted in Sent has become the official language of the entire continent.

Ordinary people naturally don't have the qualifications and energy to learn this strange language. Only those aristocrats can popularize wizard language from an early age, and train their children to become outstanding talents immersed in wizard civilization from an early age.

Of course, if a child of an ordinary human family is found to have wizard talent, then the family will immediately undergo earth-shaking changes.

Local nobles big and small will scramble to come forward to sponsor the young boy to go to a wizard tower or wizard academy for further study. Once the other party is lucky enough to become a high-ranking wizard, as long as they return a little kindness, it will be an excellent opportunity for the local nobles to rise up.

It is precisely because of this situation that when a talented apprentice wizard appears in a certain place, the local nobles and nobles will even take the apprentice wizard into their hands at the cost of a bloody war.

Those powerful nobles even sent their offspring to wizard colleges when they were young. If you have talent, stay there to continue your studies. If you don't have wizard talent, try to make some apprentice friends and find some suitable investment targets for the family.

The high-ranking wizard group and the huge aristocratic system are closely combined to form a scene with a unique style in each region.

As soon as Greem got off the airship, a luxurious silver carriage drove up to him.

Getting out of the car was a second-level wizard wearing a black witch robe, with a gorgeous badge with red stripes on a black background pinned to his chest.

Looking at the badge style, it is the Molten Fire City logo that invited me to come here.

"You are Lord Flame, right? Lord Kerak has already ordered you. I have been waiting for you here for three days. If you have nothing else to do, Lord Kerak hopes that you can arrive in Molten City as soon as possible."

Greem looked up at the city of Oss not far away, and could only say goodbye to the other party with regret in his heart.

"I have nothing else to do, let's go now!"

As the two boarded the silver carriage, with the sound of the wheels rattling, they drove out of the parking area of ​​the flying boat and turned onto a gray carriageway. Escorted by a group of hundreds of alien cavalry, they galloped towards a certain direction to the northeast. and go.

Greem quickly glanced at the group of alien cavalry before getting into the car, and under his pervasive mental power scan, the opponent's basic data was quickly presented.

Lizard cavalry, a modified unit of alien beasts, with an overall strength of 1st intermediate level, composed of cave lizards and human knights.

These lizard cavalrymen looked a little thin in size, and although they were protected by exquisite and gorgeous chain armor, they were still not suitable for swift charges on the land battlefield. However, the cave lizards they ride have pads on their paws, which can form tiny suction cups, which not only land silently, but also climb over most obstacles, especially suitable for running in some narrow and rugged areas.

These lizard cavalrymen held special sharp-toothed spears in their hands. The handle was only 3 feet short, but the spear blade at the front was 6 feet long. The spear blade is full of barbs and stabs back, and there is a blood groove on the tip of the blade, and a cold blue light is faintly flickering.

Whether it's the knight's chain armor or the weapons in their hands, they are obviously enchanted weapons, even posing a big threat to wizards.

And from their unified armor and standard weapons, it can be seen that this Molten Fire City must have a lot of power in the local area, otherwise it would be difficult to support such a large-scale transformation of alien beasts.

And the level 2 wizard who was in charge of welcoming him faced Greem, a level 3 wizard, at close range. Not only did he not have the slightest stiff expression, but he also communicated with him very talkatively.

Through his introduction, Greem just got to know more about this strange wizard organization named 'Melting Fire City'.

The headquarters of Molten City is located in a huge continuous volcano group in the northeast corner of Tikster area.

Like the Crimson Family, it is a large force that almost ruled the entire Tixter region.

The city lord of Molten Fire City is a level 4 wizard, and he has 3 deputy city lords with level 3 strength under his command. As for other contract wizards and hired wizards who lived in Molten City, there were as many as two to three hundred people.

In terms of scale alone, this power called Molten Fire City is even far above the Crimson Clan, and the Tykster area they rule is considered a large area with a relatively high ranking in terms of area and resources even in the Sand Tower Forest. .

As for the Elovis area occupied by the Crimson Family, it is a small area on the edge of the Santetalin, and it cannot be compared with the well-developed Tykster area in all aspects.

With such a clear understanding, Greem couldn't help sighing again.

In the past wizard wars, the few forces swallowed by the Crimson family were all small forces, and even the Kamala family was barely able to hang on to the middle-level forces.

Defeating such an opponent did make Greem complacent for a time, but as soon as he stepped out of the family territory today and compared it with other established forces, the huge gap immediately made Greem feel a sense of crisis.

The development of the Crimson Family still needs to continue to work hard!

…………

Molten City.

After five days of continuous running, Greem and his party finally arrived at the edge of the huge volcanic complex.

Here, ordinary carriages became difficult to pass, and the second-level wizard invited Greem to ride on the cave lizard, and plunged into a semi-manually excavated underground molten cave.

Compared with the gloomy crypt that Greem had been to, this place is clearly more developed.

Although there are caves one after another along the way, and the stalagmites and stone pillars in the way have been smashed or removed, the rugged and undulating terrain still makes it extremely difficult for ordinary people to walk through here. Only local creatures like cave lizards can pass here unhindered by relying on their strange instincts.

In some particularly rugged places, these cave lizards can even run quickly on the cave walls or ceilings. This may also be one of the main reasons for the large-scale domestication and transformation of cave lizards by the forces of Molten Fire City!

From the moment he entered the underground lava cave, Greem could feel the rapid increase in the ambient temperature.

Even through the ubiquitous cracks and rifts, Greem could still smell a choking smell of sulfur flames!

However, as a fire witch, not only did Greem not have the slightest distaste for such a harsh environment, but he also had a hint of joy and excitement that came from his own instincts.

The original deep and dark underground journey, due to the transformation of the Molten Fire City forces, a lot of lighting fluorites were installed along the way, so the entire cave was dark red, and there were almost no signs of underground creatures.

In fact, this is also understandable.

Since this road is the main entrance and exit passage of Molten Fire City, they will naturally send wizards or apprentices to clean up the underground creatures that accidentally broke into the passage. As long as the underground creatures are not allowed to set up their nests, it is naturally impossible to show signs of large-scale underground biological activities nearby.

After walking through this winding, rugged underground passage for two days, Greem and the others finally arrived at the Molten Fire City. Of course, the Molten Fire City forces have also established four or five small strongholds along the way. Judging from the number of people entrenched and resting there, it is no less than ordinary human villages and towns on the surface.

Along the way, Greem and his party encountered as many as thirty or forty caravans entering and leaving.

Large and small wooden boxes and packages are full of regional specialties sold by Molten Fire City, almost covering animal furs, herbs, strange ores and bulk metal ingots.

But it's a pity that there is no Quelas ore that Greem needs in it.

Greem was not surprised by this.

The value of Quelas ore has obviously surpassed that of ordinary magic gems. Even if it needs to be shipped out for sale, it is impossible for Molten Fire City to hire such a crude team to take care of it. Therefore, the caravans I saw, what they bought and sold were actually secondary derivatives produced in the mining of underground veins.

The truly valuable Evergold Mine and Quelas Ore must have been kept in the hands of Molten Fire City, and these incidental 'garbage' have become sweet pastries for nearby human forces to scramble for.

It seems that if I want to obtain Quelas Alloy, I still have to deal with the high-level officials of Molten City!
