Age of Adepts

Emerald Hills.

It used to be a beautiful place with charming scenery on the Morian plane.

The soil here is rich in a kind of strange mineral particles, which will show a variety of beautiful illusions such as green or blue under the light of the sky. And under the elegant and quiet moonlight, this illusion will continue to change, just like pieces of emerald gemstones flowing gently with the moonlight.

Therefore, this place has won the reputation of Emerald Hills!

But the beauty of the past has disappeared at this moment, and the emerald hills have now become a bare hill. The skinny hill lacks the cover of soil and vegetation, exposing a hard and cold rock base, which looks especially cold and ruthless under the moonlight.

And on the top of the hill, a small campsite was burning with a bonfire, and seven strange figures in black robes were sitting together, as if they were waiting for something.

Thirteen days have passed since the day of ruin, and the entire Morian plane has become less and less peaceful, and the frequency of appearance of various exotic creatures has become more and more dense. In such an environment, it is very difficult to find a quiet place where no one is disturbed.

Moreover, with the destruction of the plane world, the barriers of the plane have been damaged and disintegrated in a large area. On the mainland, in many areas, due to the proximity of the breach of the plane barrier, hundreds of tons of plane matter were swept by the void hurricane, scoured and scattered into the depths of the endless star sea.

Moreover, this kind of loss is still happening all the time. As long as the gap in the plane is not closed for a day, the material of the plane will continue to be lost until the entire plane is left with only the strongest and most tenacious core essence substances. .

And those creatures who were swept into the depths of the star sea have no possibility of surviving!

"Captain Roy, how long do you think we have to wait?" A black-robed wizard raised his head and asked softly, his tone full of strong dissatisfaction.

While speaking, the hood of the black robe slipped down a little bit, revealing half of her delicate and fair chin. A small mole at the corner of her mouth added a strange and charming taste to her.

"That's right, Captain Roy, maybe the members of that team have already died in battle, otherwise this time should have arrived!" Another black-robed wizard complained equally dissatisfied.

"There is nothing to complain about!" The black-robed wizard in the head wore a gold ring, and there was a deep claw mark on his left cheek, which was filled with gray air, and it seemed that there was still residual alien energy that had not been completely eliminated. Cold and fierce: "The agreed time before we broke up was to wait here for three days. Now it's only two days, and we'll be back in one day. What's the rush..."

"That's what you said, but this plane..." The black-robed female wizard's voice was low and sexy, but her words were full of worry: "During the rest of the past few days, I have been able to hear the constant sound coming from the sky. It exploded. This shows that the barriers of the Morian plane can't last long. Once the barriers of the plane are broken, the interplanetary ultra-long-distance teleportation array we carry may be affected by the void storm. At that time..."

Although she didn't say much else, those unfinished words have brought endless associations to other wizard partners.

As a Tier 4 elite selected by the wizard camp, their first and second teams successfully completed the task and returned to the withdrawal point. Unfortunately, out of the twelve people who set off, only seven remained when they returned.

This also means that during the 53-day journey, five elite fourth-level wizards died on the Morian plane. The death rate is almost half, which also shows the danger and horror of their missions!

As for the third team that exists as a force involved, there are only four members, and they are all miscellaneous or new wizards selected by major organizations. With their strength and contingency means, the probability of surviving such a dangerous mission is quite low.

Therefore, after the wizards of the two elite teams met here, while waiting silently, they secretly guessed the number of people who might return from the third team.

That weak two-headed wizard is definitely going to fall, and the mysterious wizard with the rank of puppeteer has a high probability of falling too. After all, such a guy is only good at fighting, but not good at escaping. Once surrounded by powerful enemies, the chance of escaping is almost zero.

That Fire Witch with a bit of a reputation was quite strong, but on such a dangerous plane battlefield, the more conspicuous his strength, the faster he would die. So the chances of him being able to complete the task and escape from the dangerous place are not high.

On the contrary, it was the dark witch, who had a strong strength of the 4th intermediate level, and her own witchcraft was also inclined to maneuver and sneak attack. Therefore, such a guy is the most suitable for the plane battlefield, able to advance and retreat, fight and escape. Once he has survived this plane battlefield, his own strength will also be greatly improved.

However, while the wizards were waiting silently, three tall and strange figures appeared on the rugged road in the distance, and they quickly approached the campsite.

The wizards around the bonfire have heightened their vigilance. There are constant rustling noises under the black robes. Some instant magic wands, witchcraft scrolls, powerful witchcraft, and weird secret treasures have all slipped into their palms, in a state of activation. status.

The black-robed female wizard stood up and glanced at it, and couldn't help but let out a little gasp.

"Hey, it's the third team! They... they came back with three people..."

Although the words were simple, the rest of the fellow wizards couldn't help frowning slightly.

Soon, the three of Greem boarded the small hill where only the broken rock mass remained, and joined the wizards of the main team.

"Three people..." The leader of the golden ring wizard couldn't help whispering, and the wound on his cheek that was infested with gray gas claw marks began to squirm slowly, looking extremely ferocious.

"Master Roy, we're back!" Greem and the three seemed to sense the coldness and unkindness in the other wizards' eyes, and they nodded to the Golden Ring wizard who led the team.

"Grim... Where's Shani?" One of the seven wizards of the home team stood up, brushed off his hood, and asked him coldly.

This is a female wizard, surrounded by a layer of icy cold wind and freezing air, with exquisite and small eyebrows, but with a hint of murderous and decisive murderous aura.

Looking at her appearance and the family crest on her chest, she is clearly a Winter Witch!

The Winter Witch is also a branch of the Witches of the North. Although they are not of the same family as the Dark Witch, they belong to the same family as the servants of the Great Witch King. Moreover, they tend to be clumsy by nature, especially when it comes to external affairs, they advance together and retreat together. They belong to a group of women who are extremely difficult to deal with.

Greem lowered his eyelids, a faint sadness appeared on his face.

"It's a pity that Ms. Xia Ni died in a battle with alien creatures!"

"Fart, you're lying! With Shani's strength, who in this plane can put her to death? Dark witches are famously invincible!" The winter witch roared fiercely, with a look of disbelief .

Greem remained expressionless, raised his brows, and said softly.

"Of course it is impossible for an arcanist on this plane to kill her, but those otherworldly creatures can. Shani died at the hands of a powerful enemy who possessed a divine weapon. His name was Mitzer, and he was the son of the god of wisdom Hierro." ... If you don't believe it, you can find a prophet to verify it."

Artifact... Son of God... God of Wisdom...

Such shocking news made all wizards frown.

The dark witches all have psionic energy pools, which can preserve their soul imprints, so that they can rampage on the battlefield, and their fighting style is extremely fierce and domineering. Even if unfortunately died in battle, he can be resurrected again with the help of the spiritual energy pool, and reshape a fully energetic body.

This is also the most difficult point for dark witches!

But if the Dark Witch encounters a powerful enemy with an artifact, the opponent can use the high-level characteristics of the artifact to trap or kill the Dark Witch's soul. Therefore, it made sense for Greem to blame Shani's death on this.

A shriveled old wizard stood up and asked with a grinning grin, "If even Witch Shani was killed, how did the three of you escape? Could it be that you found a place to hide at all?" Just finish those tasks?"

"Yes, yes...it must be like this...I know that these miscellaneous cards are unreliable..." Several wizards with injuries all over their bodies also shouted angrily, with a menacing look.

"Hand over your mission crystal, I want to check it!"

Influenced by his companions, the Golden Ring wizard couldn't help but feel a little suspicious of Greem and the other three, and asked for the quest crystal directly.

The mission crystal is also an item specially distributed by the senior wizard before the team starts. It can record the short-term images of the team members fighting at the mission point, and is generally kept by the leading wizard.

Such an item has the aura of a high-ranking wizard on it, so it is impossible to cheat at all, and it is also the direct evidence for the task team to prove their record.

Greem was slightly taken aback, and his face became gloomy.

"Verifying the mission crystal is the job of the higher-ranking wizards. Now you are forcing me to hand over the mission crystal, which is a bit out of bounds!"

"Hmph, if you don't hand over the quest crystal, who knows if you have completed the quest. I am the wizard appointed by the great wizards to lead the team, and I have the final say on everything here. Hand over your quest crystal!" the Golden Ring The wizard said coldly.

Greem stared at him coldly for a moment, finally nodded slowly, took out a fist-sized magic crystal from his bosom and handed it over.

Wizard Holly and the Mangles brothers and sisters hesitated for a while, and they also handed over their mission crystals.

The Golden Ring wizard took the crystals, first cast a spell to verify their authenticity, and then held them up in front of his eyes, slowly penetrating his spiritual power, and checked the mission images stored inside.
