Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no popup, free to read!
The birth of Flame Throne has obviously changed the development of this black forest.
The deepest feeling is the residents of Songta Town, 300 miles away.
Once upon a time, as a fringe town in a human settlement, they have been living under the shadow of monster. Whenever a large-scale beast wave erupts in the Black Forest, they can only desperately ask for help from Baldan City, which is closest to the town, because there is an Adept Tower there.
The Adept Family, which has some interests in Songta Town, will also send out families Adept and apprentice in a timely manner to help the townspeople resist the impact of the beast tide. However, this kind of help is limited after all. Once the danger facing the town exceeds expectations, these foreign Adept and apprentice will never coexist with the town.
So from the beginning of the town of Songta to the present, there have been two tragedies that have been breached by migrating herds. And after each tragedy, a new batch of immigrants will be transferred here by Lord Adept.
So, this is a terrible place where people love and hate!
But now, with the emergence of a mysterious Magic Tower in the Black Forest, this mountain forest has suddenly become more peaceful and colder than ever.
The monster that has ravaged the mountains in the past has disappeared, and even those large-type jungle beasts and fierce birds have fallen sharply. Successive mercenary adventurous teams have ventured into the Black Forest for almost two or three hundred miles, but they have not found any trace of monster.
Some of the known monster lairs have been abandoned, and what used to be considered Jedi or dead has become a safe place to come and go. These adventurous mercenaries began to explore crypts and caves one after another, looking for the old nests abandoned by monster.
For a time, the mercenaries in the town of Songta have become more active than ever, and they can return with a full load every time they venture out, bringing back huge gains. The Apprentice Adept with simple waist pouches have also become fragrant puppets. They exist in the team. Each time they explore the abandoned monster lair, they can bring back more and larger loot.
At first they didn't know how it all happened. However, as the mercenary team's footprint extended to the location where Plague Forest was once, they were fortunate to visit Magic Tower apprentice, which was maintaining forest order there, and they only knew that a 'great' Magic Tower had been erected at Plague Forest underground.
It is no longer called Plague Forest, and has become a word of mouth Flame Cavern. As far as Flame Cavern is concerned, that's where the ‘great’ Flame Throne Magic Tower comes in!
The news immediately returned to the town of Songta, which immediately caused a great sensation.
Not only did the residents of the town become ecstatic, but even the Apprentice Adept of trial near the town seemed very excited.
Being curious about this mysterious Magic Tower, several Adept Family apprentices stationed here hurried to Flame Cavern and then visited the Flame Throne.
According to the general rules of Adept Continent, they were fortunate enough to stay in Magic Tower for one night, and contacted apprentice in Magic Tower. Thus they learned that this Flame Throne belongs to the private Magic Tower of Sarubo Clan Adept Grim.
Sarubo Clan? It seems to have been heard before, it is a modest family of Continent Central.
Adept Grim? Sorry, the name seems extremely strange!
The title of Grim's Fire Demon is actually quite loud in a few areas around Ferdinand City. It is a little far away. Adept Family in many areas has not even heard of it.
But the speed of Adept news spread is still amazing!
When these batches of apprentice heard the news back to the family, rumors about this Fire Demon soon became a household name.
A Adept who has just advanced to fight against a strong enemy, and beheaded a veteran Adept in a one-to-two situation ... Later, in a family conflict, he powerfully killed a Elite level Bloodline Adept ...
As soon as these rumors were found out, they immediately attracted a lot of interest and attention from Adept Family.
This ... This is how Powerful Adept seems to be rising!
So, more Apprentice Adept flooded into Songta Town, then turned to the mysterious Magic Tower-Flame Throne.
According to the general rules of Adept Continent, except for the Magic Tower in a very few regions, which are completely closed, most Magic Towers actually adhere to the principle of public disclosure. Each Magic Tower will open a specific area for temporary rest and replenishment of Adept and apprentice.
And this is also one of the ways Magic Tower earns Magic Crystal!
Of course, only Adept and apprentice can enter the tower to rest and resupply. Ordinary adventurers and mercenaries who want to purchase enchanted items can only transit through the familiar apprentice. Therefore, the prosperity of Magic Tower also drove a apprentice circle in disguise, allowing these marginalized people to form a peripheral market around Magic Tower.
…………
Billy is a Apprentice Adept with stray everywhere.
Due to his poor talents, he is 35 years old, but he is still only an Novice apprentice. And he has only two poor Witchcraft, exploration and low light.
The former is not a bizarre Witchcraft of divination, but a simple Witchcraft to check whether food is poisonous and what effect an item has. As for the latter, it will create a dim light area in the caster body week, which will reduce the enemy's line of sight.
Yes, neither of these two Witchcraft belongs to attack magic, nor does it belong to defensive magic, but ... an auxiliary type of low rank Witchcraft.
It is for this reason that the family that Billy belongs to is just an ordinary aristocratic family. Obviously, he cannot bear the resources that he continues to consume, but cannot provide any return to the family. Therefore, three years ago, the family broke off his supply of resources and financial support, and Billy could only regret to leave from Magic Tower who has lived and studied for 27 years and became a Apprentice Adept with stray everywhere.
Of course, if he is willing to return to the family, there is still a chance to become an Merchant Union director or a local noble, but the Billy who has determined to dedicate himself to the Adept business still dreams that he will one day become a great Adept .
So he would rather wander and experience in various regions than return to the family to be a marionette.
When he happened to travel to the Alvis area, he just heard that a new Adept Tower appeared in Songta Town. Holding the simple idea that the other party might recruit some foreign apprentice, Billy immediately changed the itinerary and went straight to this legendary Flame Throne.
The former Songta town has become very lively now. Adventurers and mercenaries with bows and swords can be seen everywhere. When they see the apprentice robes on Billy, they all want to enlist him. Enqueue.
Songta Town at this time, even the Apprentice Adept who is no longer in need, as long as it has a Adept waist bag, can attract countless teams to run to solicit. After all, the opening and storage of the Adept waist pouch needs to consume a certain amount of Spiritual Force, ordinary fighter cannot be used at all, and only by mastering a certain Elemental Power of apprentice can it be done.
So if the expedition team wants to bring back more loot, Apprentice Adept must be recruited.
Unfortunately, Billy has other plans in mind, so he did not hesitate to reject all invitations to join the team. After hiring a familiar guide locally, Billy also smoothly passed through the dense forest of 300 miles to the rumored Flame Cavern entrance.
Actually, it is not close to rocky pile where Flame Cavern is located. Billy was shocked by the noise and noise here.
When one or two was ten miles away from the finish, the Billy successively encountered a lot of small-type teams who were heading to Flame Cavern. Their team is large or small, with a hunting team of more than a dozen people and an expedition team of three or four people. And like Billy, he and the guide are the only two teams.
The further you go, the more mercenary teams Billy meets. They are carrying huge prey on their shoulders, or carrying huge blood-stained rucksacks, striding one by one in high spirits in the dense black forest.
After many teams meet, they will yell and greet loudly, from time to time, they will ask ‘What ’s the harvest today’, ‘Where did I find a hidden lair’… and so on.
When they walked through the jungle together and came to a huge open space, Billy was completely shocked by what they saw and heard.
This is the Black Forest!
This is a dangerous area nearly 300 miles into the Black Forest!
But in this huge forest clearing in front of Billy, a row of simple wooden houses and simple tents were set up crookedly. The number reaches three to four hundred, and mercenary adventurers with different costumes walk around in this temporary camp. You can see booths buying live beasts and beast fur everywhere. You can see wearing apprentice robes everywhere. Guy is bargaining with the mercenaries ...
Here ... it seems that it has become a temporary camp, and it has become a bridgehead and supplies for the surrounding mercenary adventurers exploring the surrounding area. And as the camp manager, they are some Apprentice Adept coming out of Flame Throne.
In the corner of camp, there are dozens of large-type jungle beasts in the huge wooden cage **** with thick logs, and there are also some beasts such as Armored Rhino, Razor Boar and Raging Ape.
Under the attention of Billy, many mercenaries are rushing there with their wildly tied beasts, handing them over to a Apprentice Adept wearing a green robe that manages the beast pen, and then receive one from him. A heavy cloth bag.
"Master, what you said is Flame Cavern!" The guide leading the way is an honest villager, looking at Billy with a look of hope.
Billy knew the machine and found a small cloth bag from the waist bag and threw it to the other party.
50 gold coins!
If you put it in the past, even if Billy took out as many gold coinss or even Magic Crystal, it would be impossible for these guys without any fighting ability to penetrate the Black Forest. But now with the advent of Flame Throne Magic Tower, this black forest has become a very safe back garden, allowing most adventurers to walk, explore and hunt safely and worry-free.
After dismissing the guide, Billy gathered courage and quickly walked to the giant large hole port located in the center of camp. Even from a distance of two or three hundred meters, Billy can feel the strong fire elemental aura coming from the face.
Flame Throne, here I come!
