Airship quickly swept across the sky, dragging a cloud-like jet wind particle behind the boat.
Everything on the ground, whether it is a person or an object, has become a small black spot. It is magic swamp that Grim has lived for 6 years. At this moment, it seems that it is just a rotten pond surrounded by clouds.
Staying in magic swamp for too long, Grim has become a bit strange to the outside life.
After Airship rose to the flying height, the Grim was attached to the side of the ship, and it was already able to clearly see the vast land around a hundred miles. In addition to the magic swamp covered by thick fog at the feet, in the surrounding Grim, human villages and towns and a small town in twos and threes were also seen.
The dark earth and green wheat fields are clearly visible, and there are dotted with mills and windmills. An ant-sized caravan can be seen faintly on a silver belt.
Airship is heading south.
The further you go there, the stronger the greenness on the earth, but the less signs of human activity. Near each human gathering point, Grim can see the continuous dense forest and the lively scene of wolf running ape crying inside.
This is actually the current status of Adept Continent.
Every human gathering point is surrounded by endless virgin forests and wild jungles. The beasts, magic beast, monster living in it are countless. Ordinary beast magic beast, the human force in the settlement may still be able to fight, but when encountering those weird monster, you must have a more powerful strength to guard it.
The guardian strength is Adept .
As this plane has a powerful individual with extraordinary strength, Adept is the real master of this land. Although they crossed the threshold of Official Adept , they have already had a huge gap with ordinary humans in terms of blood relationship. But in order to protect the source of the Adept group, most Adept s are still willing to contribute a part of their strength, so that human beings can continue to survive and reproduce on this continent.
Ordinary human society is like a lamb raised in captivity, and Adept is like a high shepherd, who cares for his pasture and looks forward to a steady stream of fresh blood to join their team. Don't look at Apprentice Adept like Grim. It has a strong, mysterious and weird strong color in the eyes of ordinary mortals, but in the eyes of Official Adept , they are still worthless.
As long as they do n’t cross the threshold in a day, they are still not a living individual comparable to Official Adept , but just a simple name and number.
For the first time, Grim has a feeling of impulse and oppression in his heart.
Although he has worked hard, what he has done before is more of a habit and external pressure. Today, instead, he has an impulse to strengthen from the bottom of his heart.
This is a mysterious mysterious world, completely different from the earth that previous life treats itself. On earth, the individual's strength is small. Only by relying on the group's strength can it continue to grow and develop. But here, where the sea of magic force floods the world, the individual's strength is magnified ten million times. Things that could not be done on earth before here have infinite possibilities here.
For the first time, Grim can't help but want to stand on top of the world with its strength and see what the world looks like. Maybe that's what the great World's Will introduced him from low magic Earth to high magic world.
The cold wind whizzed past the ship.
Although the bow is protected by wind barriers, so that the Apprentices does not have to be exposed to cold winds, the temperature on the deck is still very low.
Grim Constitution has only 5 points. Obviously, it is impossible to rely on the body alone to counteract the external temperature changes, so you can only desperately tighten your robe. And Mary is still the signature single thin red gauze skirt, a large piece of greasy skin is exposed outside, but there is no cold feeling.
As long as Constitution exceeds 10 points, Apprentice Adept will be basically independent of the outside season. The biting cold wind blowing on Grim may be nothing more than a slightly cool breeze to Scarlet-clothed Mary. And Constitution exceeds 15 points, even the general extreme environment is no longer forbidden for them.
As for more than 20 points, that is already a horrible level that Body Refining Adept can only reach. Really coming to that point, it is difficult to completely kill them by throwing them into the underground lava or the extreme cold abyss.
Adept has undergone a qualitative change compared to Apprentice Adept, and its vitality has been sublimated to level, which makes it difficult to detect. Although the roads are different, the origin of attributable roots is an in-depth digging of strength. It is just that Body Refining Adept is more enhanced by Constitution and strength, while Natural Law Adept is pursuing Spiritual Force.
For the first time, the scenery outside the boat seems to be thrilling and beautiful, but when you see more, there will always be a moment of aesthetic fatigue. So Grim rolled out a piece of felt and invited Mary to sit with him to rest, and he took the opportunity to look at the crowd on the bow.
I felt it when I boarded the ship before. It seems that there is only one Novice apprentice on this deck. Now through elemental vision's passive exploration, he immediately gained a more intuitive visual experience.
Dense crowds are full of dazzling dangerous red mansions, and several of them even reach the extremely dangerous status/mode with reddish purple.
The chip in Grim's mind quickly calculated the specific data.
There are Apprentice Adept317 people on the deck, including Pseudo-Adept11 people, Advanced Level apprentice92 people, and the rest are Intermediate Level apprentice. Well, we need to get rid of the alternative Novice apprentice, Grim.
These Pseudo-Adept are the big names in the apprentice group, and each side is surrounded by a large number of speculative elements with pleasing faces. But between these Pseudo-Adept, they are indifferent, they are clear-cut, well water does not violate river water, and they don't like to exchange ideas with peers.
This is actually understandable.
At their step, as long as they can get through that terrible threshold, they will be able to climb to the sky one step at a time, and then become the superior of the proud people. As for the Apprentice Adept surrounding them, they immediately became disgusted and hated mosquitoes.
Even if they are expensive Pseudo-Adept of the same level, they are not willing to contact each other in advance. After all, there is still a lot of risk in the Witchcraft ceremony of advanced Adept . In case the Pseudo-Adept, which is optimistic about communication, does not succeed, the previous emotional investment will be overwhelmed. At that time one will be Adept and one apprentice. What are the foundations for continued equal exchanges?
The real communication can be carried out after the advanced Adept . At that time, no new Adept will refuse the friendliness of the same level!
So under the psychological influence of this arrogance and narcissism, the 11 Pseudo-Adepts had no intention of talking and communicating. In contrast, at the level of Advanced Level apprentice, the thermal ties level between them form a sharp contrast.
In the circles of all sizes, the most enthusiastic and frequent exchange is this group of Advanced Level apprentice. The larger number of Intermediate Level apprentice are mostly silent or echoing, like green leaves against red flowers, small and inconspicuous.
In contrast, the Scarlet-clothed Mary sitting silently on the side of the Grim has become the best communication target in the eyes of everyone, even some male Pseudo-Adept are peeping at her.
A Advanced Level female apprentice whose appearance is so outstanding, even if her face is cold and arrogant, still motivates many men apprentice to look around here frequently.
"Aren't you going to make a few friends?" Grim whispered with a smile: "It seems that they want to communicate with you!"
Scarlet-clothed Mary opened the green eyes and glanced around, disdainfully sneered: "It is a pity that I am not interested in their dirty and dirty blood, otherwise I will let them know what is the passion of Blood Queen!"
"Blood Queen? This is the name you gave yourself?" Grim chuckled: "It's quite appropriate. Just don't know if I have the honor to experience it?"
"You?" Mary's cold eyes fell on the side of Grim: "Then you really need to work very hard!"
Then Mary stretched out, leaned sideways beside Grim, and started his daily routine, meditation, with his thighs.
"Cough!" Grim sighed.
He heard it very clearly, this sentence is definitely the truth of Scarlet-clothed Mary.
Since they entered the road of Adept , it is naked's naked strength that measures their status. Even if he is looking for a lover, even if the Scarlet-clothed Mary has a good impression on him, but when the disparate strength is in front of him, Mary is still reluctant to find a "mate" who is weaker than himself.
Grim has a feeling that if she takes the initiative, Mary doesn't mind being her bed companion. But if you really need to find a kind of companion who can accompany a lifetime, a weak person like Grim is definitely not in her selection.
The cold reality dilutes the beauty's concubine. Grim shook her head and smiled bitterly, took a book out of her arms, and looked carefully and carefully.
Under such high-profile situations, deep meditation is definitely not suitable, so Scarlet-clothed Mary isolates itself with meditation to avoid the hassle of forcible rejection. It is also a good choice. However, in this way, Grim can only act as a temporary messenger, and brace the hostility of everyone.
The Evil Insects Entik who accompanied them also found a spot nearby and sat cross-legged. hood was low, making it impossible to see his expression.
In the final analysis, there is not much hatred between him and Grim, but Grim has been trapped out of a momentary dispute. If it was not Entik's promise to protect his safety, the new Chief Apprentice Alan would not dare to provoke Scarlet-clothed Mary if he was killed.
And for this deadly hatred, Evil Insects Entik may not feel directly.
In his mind, this is just a roadside ant annihilated casually, not worth remembering at all. Maybe after the mission is completed, return to swamp Tower. The character represented by the name Grim has disappeared and will never appear again.
So for Entik, Grim is not his enemy at all, only that Scarlet-clothed Mary is eligible.
