Age of Adepts

Seriously speaking, Molten Fire City is actually a huge underground city built in the belly of a volcanic mountain.

The core building here is of course also a powerful wizard tower.

It's just different, this witch tower was not built on a solid volcanic rock, but on a fluid lava field.

There are only a few fixed time points every year, and the Wu Tower will be revealed as the lava sea recedes. For the rest of the time, the wizard tower was submerged in a tumbling sea of ​​hot lava, and the traffic inside and outside was cut off.

And of course, this witch tower has become the hermitage of the 4th-level Molten Fire City Lord!

As for the other wizards in Molten Fire City, including several deputy city lords, they all lived in the underground melting tunnel around the core witch tower. The rolling volcanoes, winding and complicated underground labyrinths, and numerous transformed witch beasts make this underground world not seem deserted, and the presence of life breath can be felt everywhere.

The entire Molten City is divided into three floors, and the inner core area is the wizard area.

Due to the astonishingly high concentration and activity of the fire element here, ordinary humans cannot survive here for a long time. Therefore, only those wizards can enter, exit and live here normally.

The periphery of the core area is naturally the apprentice area.

Relying on the isolation effect of the energy light film, the energy radiation here is much lower than that in the core area, so it has become the place where most apprentices live. Whether it's study and research or daily rest, the main activity area of ​​wizard apprentices is on the periphery of the core area.

On the outskirts of the apprenticeship area, there are some small living areas like villages or supply points, filled with many ordinary people who provide various services for wizard apprentices. Among them are taverns, hotels, mercenary camps, underground black markets and other special places, and the waitresses in taverns often also run some flesh and blood businesses.

However, these outlying strongholds provide Molten Fire City with a large number of miners who are not afraid of death.

You must know that one of the main reasons why the fourth-level wizard built a huge witch tower here is that there is a huge metal vein deep in the volcano here. The quality of the magic metal stored inside is extremely high, and the reserves are also very astonishing, which has become the biggest source of income for Molten Fire City.

And if there are mineral deposits, a lot of manpower is needed to dig them.

So Molten Fire City spared no expense to build a huge underground city here, just for the astonishing reserves of magic metal mines under its feet. Every day, there are thousands of miners of various races working hard in the intricate underground mines, fighting for the strength of Molten City with their lives.

Therefore, the more he knew about the Molten Fire City in front of him, the deeper Greem's emotion would be.

In terms of population, city size, and resource transaction volume, this Molten Fire City is obviously a hundred times stronger than the Flame Throne Witch Tower of the Crimson Family.

But envy is envy, but Greem didn't dare to hope that he could occupy or own such an area.

In the wizarding world, almost all high-level resources have been divided up by those large forces or high-level wizards. Even if such high-level resources fall into his hands, what he might bring to him is not the huge magic crystal income, but the continuous wizard war.

Without enough strength to deter foreign enemies, once such resources are exposed, it is easy to attract the covetousness of level 4 wizards. And the Crimson family doesn't have level 4 wizards.

So such a resource falling into his own hands is not only not a blessing, but it will cause the entire family to be wiped out.

Some time ago, several consecutive wizard wars against the Crimson family seemed to be some family conflicts on the surface, but the root cause was actually the Lance plane in the hands of the Crimson family.

A good dragon plane, with inexhaustible resources of dragon cards...

This is obviously not something that a new family can have!

Therefore, the wealth of the Crimson family attracted many small and medium families like hungry wolves to besiege.

If it weren't for the fact that the Crimson family's own background is quite solid, I am afraid that the new family created by Greem has become bait in the mouths of others. At that time, without the blessing of the family power, Greem, who is alone and alone, can only hand over the World Beacon of the Lance plane. He will be labeled as a loser and become the laughing stock of wizards!

...

With endless reveries, Greem, led by the other party, passed through the outlying strongholds, walked through the apprentice area, and finally came to an underground molten cave.

Here, a dark red film of light blocked the way forward.

The accompanying lizard cavalry reined in their mounts one after another, and waited respectfully on both sides. Only Greem walked into the light film swaggeringly under the guidance of the second-level wizard.

It's like passing through a transparent water barrier without feeling any stagnation.

However, while traveling through, Greem could also detect four or five scout ripples with different functions quickly and covertly sweeping across his body. It's a pity that Greem's transparent flames lingering on his body blocked them from the outside.

Seemingly receiving a message of witchcraft from afar, the black-robed wizard smiled and bowed and said, "Lord Huoyan, please come with me! Lord Karak is already waiting for you..."

The meeting place was a gray underground stone hall. A third-level wizard and two second-level wizards were already waiting here. Seeing Greem's arrival, they all had smiles on their faces.

The third-level Lord Karak was exactly the same as his appearance in the spiritual illusion. He was tall and thin, with a dark green gemstone inlaid in the middle of his forehead. He showed considerable enthusiasm for Greem's arrival.

"Are you the legendary fire witch patriarch in the Eloise region? It's an honor to meet you, Your Excellency Greem!" Kerak nodded slightly to Greem with a smile on his face.

As for the other two second-level wizards, a man and a woman, they were not very old, and they stood behind Wizard Karak and secretly looked at Greem.

Those who can become high-level wizards are all born with outstanding talents and great luck. But being able to advance to Tier 3 before the age of 200 is obviously a bit too much for this talent.

Therefore, when they suddenly saw this legendary fire witch who was extremely popular for a while, the two second-level wizards in Molten Fire City couldn't help but get a little excited. Especially seeing Greem's handsome appearance and strong body, the young female wizard's eyes sparkled with a smile on her face.

Greem wasn't surprised that the other party was able to find out his identity.

Before coming here, he had done some research. Molten Fire City is also a well-known big force in the middle of the mainland, with a strong organization. This can only be seen from the fact that they can occupy a large area by themselves.

In addition, the Tikster area where the Molten Fire City is located is too far away from the Crimson Family, so it is impossible for the two parties to have any conflicts of interest, let alone any hidden conflicts. Therefore, Greem doesn't have to worry about his own safety here.

Therefore, Greem wasn't surprised or panicked when the other party revealed his identity.

"I'm also very honored to be able to visit Molten Fire City. Everything here is so breathtaking. It can be seen that it is by no means a fluke that your force can occupy the Skettis region alone."

"Haha, Mr. Greem, you've won the prize!" Wizard Karak chuckled twice, and changed the subject: "We invited two wizards for the mission issued by Molten Fire City, and the other one will arrive in about 2 days, so we have to I trouble you to stay here for a short two days. I think, in these two days, Wizard Frena will accompany you to browse here first!"

The second-level female wizard standing behind Karak took a step forward and said with a smile, "Master Greem, why don't I show you around here first?"

This wizard Freyna has a beautiful appearance and a hot figure. A well-tailored white robe complements her fair skin and beauty. She has a slender waist and long legs. But Greem took a glance, and felt a faint energy radiation on her face and body.

It seems that the appearance and figure have been treated with witchcraft.

This situation is very common among most low-level wizards. After all, the beauty of witches is also a resource that can be used. However, similar situations are rare among high-level wizard groups. Because all witches who can become high-ranking witches are those who are determined and strong-minded. They are stronger than wizards in many aspects, so how can they be willing to do such a shameful thing of exchanging their bodies for resources!

"Thank you!" Greem smiled slightly, and followed him out of the stone hall.

After the footsteps of Greem and Frena disappeared in the depths of the passage, another second-level wizard asked, "Master Karak, what are the arrangements for the mine? If this Master Greem is on a mission I want to go deep into the mine under the pretext of going deep into the mine, shall we come forward to stop it?"

The tall and thin wizard of Karak lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "This Greem is here for the Quelas ore, so you must keep an eye on pits No. 2 and No. 3. If necessary, pit No. 4 can be used at will. He can come and go freely, but he must not be allowed to approach No. 2 and No. 3 pits. By the way, the flame tiger hasn't come to make trouble these days, right?"

"Last month, it was wounded by Lord Dorian with the help of the witch formation, and it has never invaded the mine. However, in the past two days, there have been signs of its activities around the No. 2 mine. I suspect that it is secretly plotting something... ..."

"Send more people, and we must not leave any room for it to break in. The last time it made a big fuss in Pit No. 3, many miners there were killed and injured, which has seriously affected the production of Hengjin Mine!"

"Yes, I will arrange it myself in a while!"

"Well, it must be arranged so that there will be no further troubles... Besides, another sealer will be brought here soon. When the manpower is ready, immediately capture and kill the flame tiger. Before that, you We must also find a way to grasp the movement traces of the flame tiger, and it is best to find out where its lair is..."

"This..." A look of embarrassment appeared on the face of the second-level wizard, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "This subordinate must finish it!"

Immediately, the two left the underground stone hall, making the place quiet again.
