Age of Adepts

"Then what is the conclusion of your investigation? Did Manggs take the blame for himself, or did he suffer some conspiracy to do so?" Speaker Lawyers adjusted his glasses and asked with a frown.

Hearing the speaker's question, the wizards in the public gallery couldn't sit still, they all stood up and protested: "Our Lord Manges must have been plotted against...Mr Speaker, can you We must avenge him!"

Seeing the mess in the auditorium, Speaker Lawyers' face darkened instantly, and he let out a muffled snort, and a mighty aura that enveloped the sky instantly suppressed from the top of the hall.

"When I'm questioning the case, I don't want anyone to disturb me! If anyone can't do this, I will drive him out personally. Hmph..."

Feeling the terrifying majesty of the fourth-level speaker, these wizards who belonged to the same family as the Manges brothers and sisters just sat down honestly, and continued to listen to the death investigation patiently.

The third-level wizard sent by the association to investigate the cause of the death of Wizard Manges secretly swallowed a mouthful of spit, and said with difficulty: "We have no way of knowing what happened in the Morian plane. Now we are applying to the upper level of the association. A direct investigation on that Greem wizard. However, the other party has the identity of the elder of the Sandi Tower Lynn Association, and without direct evidence, it is difficult for us to get close to him."

"There is no direct evidence, so there is no indirect evidence?"

"This... seems to be a little bit!" Speaking of this, the third-level wizard in charge of the investigation became even more hesitant.

"What is it?" Tier 4 Speaker couldn't help asking.

"When the 'tragedy' happened, Lord Yrenwald, the seventh-level great wizard who was in charge of the mission of the Arcane Empire, was also there. Listening to his tone, it seemed that he knew who was behind the death of Lord Manges? But with us level of..."

Level 7 great wizard...

Even if the other party really knew something, I'm afraid that no one in the entire Wizarding Association would dare to ask him anything! It's no wonder that the Tier 3 wizard in charge of the investigation hesitated and hesitated.

"Okay, I have basically understood the whole process of the incident." Having said that, Speaker Lawyers raised his head, glanced at the wizards of the Manges brothers and sisters family who were anxiously waiting, and said coldly: "About the Revenge report, this speaker directly rejects it here. I will continue to report this case to the upper echelons of the association and ask them to send higher-level wizards to contact those two fellow travelers. Death draws any conclusions..."

Under the stern and majestic gaze of Speaker Royes, the wizards from the Mangs brothers and sisters could only accept all this dejectedly.

"Okay, you all get out! The next case that needs to be accepted is the cursed death of Wizard Hannah...The parties and the investigating wizard can come in!"

As the wizards exited and entered in an orderly manner, a group of newcomers and new stories were replaced in this judgment hall...

…………

Throne of Fire.

When the crimson wizards left the Wu Tower one after another, it once again became the exclusive world of Greem, Alice and Mary.

Alice still had that calm and calm look, but her slightly anxious eyes showed a hint of concern.

"What's wrong with your soul source? Is it seriously injured?"

Mary also fell silent, watching Greem with the same concern.

Greem has completed the elemental energyization of body and spirit, any damage can be repaired through the replacement or reorganization of elemental energy, it stands to reason that this kind of physical body damage should not happen again and cannot be recovered for a long time. If it really happened, it could only mean that his damage had already touched the source of the soul, and the manifestation of physical damage was just the projection and refraction of the damaged soul consciousness!

Such injuries are also usually extremely difficult to recover from.

"The source of the soul was damaged by the sudden self-explosion of the guy from the Wizarding Association. I'm afraid it will take a long time to recover." After briefly explaining his injury, Greem asked Alice curiously: "Compared to the injury , In fact, I am more concerned about how the guy from the Wizarding Association was controlled by the Great Witch Mesa! Could it be... that the Great Witch Mesa can control the mind of a fourth-level wizard at will?"

There was also a look of horror and fear on Mary's face.

Compared with the wizards living in the plane world, the great wizard is simply another strange species. Due to excessive mutation or extreme transformation, great wizards have undergone completely different changes from ordinary wizards in terms of body, blood, and soul.

Therefore, whenever a great wizard is mentioned, even a fearless guy like Mary must be full of awe!

A great witch who can control the life and death of a fourth-level wizard at will is frightening to think about.

"You all look up to that great witch of Mesa!" Alice chuckled: "She doesn't have that much power, she can control the life and death of another 4th-level wizard across a distant space. The reason why she The ability to control that wizard to explode is due to the seeds of destiny planted hundreds of years ago."

"Seed of Destiny? Hundreds of years ago?" Greem yelled inconceivably.

"The Fate Witch is a very peculiar wizard profession. This profession has lost almost all witchcraft offensive and defensive capabilities, and focuses all its power on divination and fate perception. However, this does not mean that the Fate Witch has no The attack power is just that their attack methods are too peculiar and unbelievable!"

"The most common method they use is to manipulate fate and use the power of fate to destroy their enemies."

"And the way they manipulate fate is to plant seeds of fate one by one in the long river of fate, with their own soul branded on them, and implant them into those key people who may affect a certain branch of fate."

"This also means that hundreds of years ago, the Great Witch of Mesa implanted the seed of destiny imprinted with her weak soul consciousness into the mind of that sorcerer Mangs when he was still very weak. But this The Destiny Seed didn't take the opportunity to grow and devour his soul consciousness, it just lurked in the depths of his soul."

"In this way, when she thinks it is appropriate, she can activate this seed of fate at any time and temporarily control everything about that fate node. However, the stronger the fate node is, the weaker the control and the shorter the time. It drove her to attack in an irreversible way like self-destruction!"

"There is another person's consciousness seed lurking in my soul consciousness. Could it be that the wizard has never been able to detect it?" Mary said in shock.

"If the Destiny Seed is activated and remains active, it will naturally be noticed by the parasitic wizards. But Mesa is so powerful, she can keep the Destiny Seed in a sealed state without any conscious activity, and naturally it will not be parasitic. The body is aware of it! Only at the moment of activation, the seed of destiny will burst out with full power in an instant, controlling everything in the body." Alice couldn't help sighing quietly.

"You mean, this hidden seed of destiny cannot be detected at all, and even you cannot distinguish it. And everyone around us may suddenly become our enemy at a certain terrible moment?" Gree Mu asked through gritted teeth.

It's no wonder he was so angry. During the entire mission of the Arcane Empire, he had invested a lot of resources and efforts in the Mangs brothers and sisters, and he also counted on them to find a perfect entry point in the Wizards Association. Able to open the gate of a huge wizarding organization.

But now it's good, protecting the other party all the time, supporting the other party through several difficult moments of the mission, and the final reward is... a terrible self-destruction!

If it wasn't for Greem's own strength to survive the self-destruction, I'm afraid the ending would be different.

"The seeds of destiny are not completely undetectable, it just requires the other party to let go of all their minds. Do you think I have the time and power to test the minds of everyone around us?" Alice could not help but smile wryly.

"Then what do you mean, we don't have the means to prevent the fate of the Great Witch Mesa from invading? We won't be able to do everything in the future and have to be wary of people around us all the time, right?" Greem's expression became serious. stand up.

"Don't worry!" Alice reassured him, "Such a method is very extravagant even for a big witch. If the fate node that implants the seed is too weak, it is naturally impossible to threaten us at all. And Implanted into the body of those powerful wizards, the probability of being discovered is quite high. The Manggis wizard who attacked you should only belong to the semi-advanced level, not a pure fourth-level wizard, otherwise, fate The control of the seeds can't reach this level..."

Hearing Alice's explanation, Greem relaxed a little.

"Okay, okay, don't discuss such sad things anymore. By the way, Greem, what have you gained from this trip to another plane, should it be more than the bits and pieces and rubbish?" Mary mentioned the treasure I couldn't help but get excited, with an anxious and curious look on my face.

Those were all precious arcane tomes and weapons and equipment full of otherworldly styles, but they turned into scraps and rubbish at Mary's place... Greem couldn't help but be speechless.

This trip to the Arcane Empire really brought Greem a lot of income, and he also had the hope of showing off in front of the two 'partners'.

Greem smiled, and waved his hands to release the real harvest of this trip!

A dozen dark red bubbles floated abruptly in the hall, and each bubble contained a strange item. From books to materials, from treasures to weapons, there is everything you can expect.

And the energy aura lingering around several of them all emits a faint purple light.

This is the elemental aura unique to Tier 4 items.

On top of the many fourth-order items, two dark red bubbles floated up and down, emitting a distinctive light from inside, vaguely giving people a sense of oppression that the mind is being suppressed.

"Sacred Artifact... This is an Artifact!" Alice opened her mouth slightly and couldn't help but exclaimed.
