Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no popup, free to read!
A distance of 300 miles is not much for a Adept .
If it's not in the Black Forest, maybe they can get there in just two to three hours.
But after all, the Black Forest has the rules of the Black Forest. If you want to fly here with impunity, that's not enough to lose ten lives.
Most of the Powerful monster are too lazy to interfere with those who sneak across the edge of their territory, but if you fly loudly above its head, it is a Naked provocation!
The five heads of manticore undoubtedly belong to the local monster in this area, so they know the hunting areas of many monster along the way. They do not fly high, but fly close to the forest tips of tall ancient trees, winding and twisting all the way, trying to pass quickly along the edge of the territory of those Powerful monster.
Therefore, across the 300 miles of sea of forest, we returned to the Plague Forest with obvious landform features again.
And here is the territory of their manticore family!
Without landing, 5 manticores pressed the bat wings, and the majestic body of the majestic body rolled into the cave with the howling wind, squeaking and screaming in horror by the thousands of nocturnal bats inhabiting it. Flying around.
But no matter how panic these bats are, no bat dares to break into ten meters of manticore. In this area, manticore are the deserved bosses!
manticore group simply ignored these free 'watchdogs', slapped bat wings, quickly shuttled and glides through the cave, and flexed across a towering stone pillar and an overhanging stone stalactite. Into the dark and deep passage in the corner.
Wings and glides in a narrow and dark channel. When encountering too narrow areas, they will retract bat wings and quickly running on the ground like a real lion. When the space is a little more spacious, the bat wings will be unfolded again, soaring between the stone pillars and caves.
Here is their home.
Every passage here, every stone pillar, they are very familiar.
Even if the light of underground is dim, it has no effect on the manticore who have low-light vision. They are like small fishes traveling through coral reefs. They flexibly move between stones, rocks, and soil, go straight through the complex and dense underground channel, and come to the cave group where Grim found Lava Well.
As soon as I entered here, the space around my body suddenly became spacious, and even became empty. The three Silver Union Adept sitting at the eyes closed end could not help but opened their eyes and began to scan the surrounding environment.
In particular, the Lava Well in the center of the cave group attracted the attention of two Profound Truth Adepts. As soon as they jumped from manticore, they couldn't wait to come to Lava Well, took out a strange piece of Sorcerer Artifact and began to continuously measure the environmental data here.
The guy named Eugene is a combat Adept , mainly responsible for protecting the two Profound Truth Adept who are out to perform tasks. Therefore, he was not confused by the environment here, nodded slightly towards the Grim, and began to step on the terrain around Lava Well.
Looking at the two busy Profound Truth Adepts who arrived here, Grim couldn't help but coughed awkwardly. However, the move did not alarm the two Profound Truth Adepts who were obviously enthusiastic about their work. Instead, they attracted Eugene who was hanging around.
"Why, what else do you have?" Eugene Adept 's tone was rather cold, and there was a sense of killing in his breath of energy.
"Uh ... I want to ask, what else can I do to help with the construction of Adept Tower?"
"You don't need any help!" Eugene Adept put Grim back in one sentence: "If you are really capable, you don't need to invite us! Everything here is very good, it is suitable for the construction of Magic Tower Somewhere. "
"What do I need to do?"
"You don't need to do anything, just leave! The basic Magic Tower like small-type can be completed in 9 days. After everything is built, I will naturally inform you that you will be fully Tower Spirit Blood sacrifice work. Well, you can leave now ... "
At this moment, Grim is about to be shocked by the arrogance of his opponent.
But when I think of the style of Silver Union, I feel relieved.
This is a separate business.
After they have monopolized most of the Profound Truth Adept and related knowledge and technology, other Adept Family and organizational forces want to complete the Magic Tower construction quickly. Many times they can only rely on the Silver Union group of people. Sarubo Clan also has its own architects and rune array divisions, but these strategic talents stay outside the domain and are firmly held in the palm of their hands by Sarubo Great Adept .
I want them to cross the plane barrier and return to Adept World to create the lowest-grade ‘rude’ Magic Tower for a small First Grade Adept . Such a thing is that Third Grade Adept Sanaza cannot control it. Because the Profound Truth Adept hard-trained by Sarubo Clan was prepared for Planar War, no one can work for them to contribute to a common family Adept .
So ...
Things like Grim's construction of private Magic Tower can only be turned to specialized agencies like Silver Union!
So, just a quarter of an hour before you invited this group of people, Grim was invited by Eugene Adept 's "Polite" out of the cave group.
It can be seen that this group of people still do a good job of intellectual property and technology confidentiality.
Even if Grim leaves the cave group, the body can detect the feeling of being monitored. It wasn't until he returned to the manticore den that the feeling of being watched away completely.
"Don't feel regretful, master!" In recent days, Gargamel, who has been hiding in the manticore group of underground *, has arrived and whispered comfortably: "All the guys from the three major forces are like this! The more you contact, the more got used to……"
"Oh, do you know all the three forces?" Grim asked curiously: "Can you speak and listen!"
"Well ... what can I say!" Gargamel's thin and dry old face showed a look of resentment: "As the suffering of stray Adept , people who have not experienced it are hard to appreciate! We are simply For example, mice crossing the street will be oppressed by the local Adept Family wherever they go. In order to collect knowledge and purchase materials, we can only pinch our noses to please the managers of public Magic Tower. Only in this way can we get some cheaper resources ... "
"Why do n’t you trust some Adept Family? With your Potion Master qualification, as long as you show willingness to trust, those medium-powered Adept Family will also welcome you with open arms? Why bother to go around stray and live by people Hard-eyed life? "
"Master, if you say this, you do n’t really understand those Adept Family. When you enter these families as Profound Truth Adept, you will find that they really value your existence and are willing to lean more on you Resources. But ... ever since, you have lost your freedom forever! "
"Free?"
"Yes, free!" Gargamel sighed in secret: "They bet resources on you, naturally they want to get more from you! Like I am Potion Master, after joining Adept Family, I need to report to The family handed in a certain amount of Witchcraft potion. Those like me who have no power or power will set a very high number of sorcerer medicine. And if I want to complete the task, I can only soak in the lab full of weird smells every day , Day and night doing repetitive and boring work. "
Grim silently rubbing his chin and becoming silent.
"And the most direct consequence of this is ... I do n’t have that much time to go to meditation, and I do n’t have time to improve myself. After I become Adept , I spend a lot of time every year sorcerer medicine deployment without any meaning. And my body was destroyed like this ...
Gargamel is only 89 years old so far. This age is not even middle-aged in the Adept group, which is often two or three hundred years old. But his body and appearance ... but he already has a fight with those old Adept s who are nearing the end of their lives!
"Are there also many high rank Adept in Profound Truth Adept? You ..." Grim was a little confused again.
"Master, are you talking about the inside of Silver Union?" Gargamel chuckled sneerly: "The guys who are big organizations like them who are willing to cultivate with great effort, who are willing to use resources to smash high rank Adept , but all have a family background. For the outsiders, they have never been willing to do so. After all, the resources taken to smash a shallow Profound Truth Adept into Second Grade are enough to smash two or three Second Grade battles Adept . So they are not their own people, they also Reluctant ... "
Grim knows this too.
In Sarubo Clan, Meryl is Potion Master, Kou Gen is Witch/Magical Beast reformer, and they all have their own special auxiliary expertise. However, their fighting ability, to be honest, Grim has always looked down. And their strength improvement, compared with Grim, is more comparable to turtle crawling.
After returning from Cavaliers plane, Grim and them can see three or four faces every year. For the rest of the time, they were soaked in their own laboratories, and they came out every ten days and a half months. In many cases, they can't afford to eat and drink, and can only rely on nutrition pills to support.
Long-term lack of exercise, long-term exposure to various materials that are harmful to the human body, plus Spirit will not get nourishing for a long time, it will also go backwards and become atrophied.
It's really amazing that there is no regression in strength!
But compared with the decline of strength, the more unbearable is the loss of freedom.
As a professional Adept carefully cultivated by the family, you will never be able to travel or explore. No family will let Profound Truth Adept go for a jungle adventure with strangers for that little battle experience and adventure.
Even if there is occasional demand, the family sends a large number of good hands to protect Profound Truth Adept closely to explore those low-risk so-called 'relics' and 'dangerous places'.
With such an experience, the chances of Profound Truth Adept being able to exercise and sharpen are almost zero!
From these narratives, Grim also finally understood the underlying reason why Gargamel would rather be stray Adept than Adept Family.
Adept group, although the appearance looks bright and bright, but you really need to go deep into it to find out, the internal oppression is also desperate.
