Mage Adam Chapter 21: Conflict (2)
"Adam."
Tonight, after the five fireballs, the name has a unique magic power on the Moldo Academy. In the hearts of everyone, Adam has already been equated with power. They can ignore Ophelia, but they have to ask Adam's opinion.
Tom didn't dare to speak anymore. A despicable little person like him has his own way of survival. He can be aggressive to the strong, but he will never challenge an opponent who is not on the same level at all.
Adam has been watching it for a long time. In fact, he doesn't care about the ownership of a mere beast. Instead, he is very interested in the ugly faces of human beings when they involve their own interests. Whether it is Ophelia, Quentin, or Tom, is like a group of symbolic information, constantly filling in the gaps in his understanding of human nature.
After Krystal finished speaking, he ran to Adam's side. He wanted to ask Adam to stand up for justice, but after seeing Adam's expressionless face, he suddenly didn't dare to speak.
There is an awkward silence on the deck.
William hid himself behind the crowd. He had made up his mind that at least he would not have any conflict with Adam on this ship. Tom, a stupid lackey, had no interest in saving since he was courting his own death. And William thinks that Adam will not care about Tom, after all, this is a bit of a loss of identity, but he just doesn't know how Adam will deal with Quentin and Randy.
But what happened the next second took everyone by surprise.
Adam directly threw a fireball on Tom's head, blew him to pieces, and then naturally walked to the front to pick up the beast's body and walked back to the side of the deck.
The apprentices were stunned. They were dumbfounded and didn't know what expressions they should use to face what just happened. In front of them, one apprentice simply killed another apprentice without hesitation.
Adam walks back to expect their reaction, for two reasons. First, although Adam cannot judge whether the Mage Continent is an orderly civilized world or a disordered primitive world, at least on this ship, the four Mage acquiesce to fighting, even if it touches life. The second is that Adam was really curious about how human beings would react when meat-eaters trampled on their common beliefs.
Will it yield or resist?
About a minute later, everyone realized what had just happened, and their expressions changed from sluggishness to fear in an instant.
"Killed!"
"How dare you! How dare you do this!"
"We are all Mage apprentices, we have the same identity, why do you dare to kill another apprentice like this, Master Mage will not let you go!"
Weird reaction. Adam thought.
When the monsters killed their companions, although they were also panicked, they were definitely not so angry. It seemed that in their eyes, killing monsters was justified, and killing people was unforgivable.
"Adam, you're going too far." Randy scolded loudly.
"You must give an explanation to the other apprentices. We can't tolerate someone among the apprentices who wantonly kills their companions. You have to pay for your actions." Quentin stepped forward, his eyes fixed on him. Adam, said righteously.
Ophelia and Crystal were also sluggish, and Ophelia, even in her rage, didn't think about killing Tom, at least not on this ship. And the reason why Crystal asked Adam for help was just to get some support.
None of them thought that Adam would kill.
"No feelings, not of the same kind."
Ophelia once again thought of the words of her father, Earl Johnson, which had never been so clear and terrifying to her.
For Adam, this was an experiment, and he had to cooperate with the experimental steps to continue, so he replied: "What explanation do you want?"
Quentin's breath was stagnant, and he suddenly didn't know how to continue. Yes, what explanation do you need? Want Adam to pay for Tom's life? Obviously not possible.
What to do?
Quentin had a cold sweat on his forehead. He felt as if he had done a stupid thing, and he put himself on the fire to bake.
Adam is dissatisfied and the subject does not cooperate, how to continue? "Where am I going too far?" he asked Randy.
Randy said, "We're on the same ship and will study at the same academy in the future. Tom was just a little offended by his words and actions. How could you just kill him?"
Adam is very dissatisfied. After these people regained their senses after the initial shock, they are all thinking about themselves. It is true that their companions died by their side, but it is impossible for them to avenge Adam for others. The words are also full of loopholes and concessions.
Is this cowardice universal or just in these people?
Adam shook his head and walked towards the cabin. Sure enough, including Randy and Quentin, no one dared to stand in front of him. Adam returned to the cabin smoothly. Until Adam's figure disappeared on the deck, others dared to quietly accuse Adam of cruelty, and showed a fearless appearance in front of his companions.
After a while, they also seemed to feel that it was very boring, so they all fell silent in embarrassment, and each carried the body of the beast, but no one dared to touch the body of the body-refining beast.
Crystal suddenly felt that the environment in her depths and the people around her were so unfamiliar. She had found Adam to be indifferent before, but she never thought that this young man would be so indifferent to life, which was very subversive to her.
But Ophelia sighed, full of complexities and didn't know what to think.
On the first floor of the cabin, the banquets in the mage's room never stopped, and fresh food was brought up continuously. Mages don't need such a low-level recovery method as sleep. Judging from the total amount of their spiritual power, they can always maintain a full state if they don't use magic.
Mage Irene seemed to be drunk. She lay lazily on the table, holding her head in one hand and a wine glass in the other, and said softly, "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that the little guy would dare to kill, he guessed. Are we going to take care of it?"
"This isn't the point, right? He doesn't seem to kill for resources, he just needs to kill people to do it? It's very dangerous, this apprentice named Adam. If he kills everyone, my reward I want you to come out." Mage Jerome teased Mage Black.
Master Black agreed: "Of course." Then he said: "It's really a very strange style, killing people just for the sake of killing? Can't figure it out, I don't seem to have heard of such a thing? But it shouldn't matter, I think He's not going to kill everyone."
Adam really won't do this, because it's pointless, and it's pointless to do an experiment on a group, it doesn't mean that every individual in the group is a test subject, just find a sample, Tom just happens to meet the That's it.
The voyage continued, there were more and more monsters, and fewer apprentices. In the second half of the month, the mages completely closed the cabin, and the apprentices needed twenty-four hours (why is the otherworld also twenty-four hours a day? Because of this It's too troublesome to change the settings.) Tighten your mind and face the beasts that come at any time.
Only six survived, Adam, William, Quentin, and Randy.
Mastering fireball is the foundation. People who can't even do this are the first to die, followed by instant fireballs, instant two fireballs. In this case, if you don't progress, you will die.
It has become their instinct to outline the spiritual power solidification rune and the spell rune group, and these two tasks are carried out every moment.
As expected by Adam, the closer you get to the Mage Continent, the higher the quantity and quality of monsters. By now, the low-level monsters have disappeared, and every monster that rushes to the deck will use magic or have a war with far-large knights. force.
But the most terrifying thing is an ugly monster that uses poison gas. It only appeared once, and it took half of the apprentice's life that time. William and the others finally realized that the weak alliance is meaningless in the wizard world, so That naive and boring organization completely fell apart.
Adam's situation is a bit special~IndoMTL.com~ Including Ophelia, no one wants to get too close to him, but whenever the monsters attack, they also spontaneously center on Adam, especially It was that time when Adam fired twenty fireballs at the same time, and instantly smashed the poison-type monster into scum.
Adam sits directly opposite the fireball rune group. This month he looks unchanged, with no scars on his body, no fatigue on his face, and the days of crisis are no different from usual for him, but a monster The constant repetition made him a little dissatisfied.
No matter how ugly this kind of thing is, the nature of the carbon base has not changed. That is to say, for Adam, only the different magics used by the beasts are meaningful to record, but it has been nearly a month, and there is still no new one. More powerful magic appeared in front of him, and Adam had had enough.
As soon as he thought of it, Adam instantly ignited the fireball of the fifteen sisters, and a group of five slammed into the rune group that had been hanging in the air.
Just now Krystal was alone on the other side of the deck, looking out into the distance bored. Suddenly, she noticed that a different color appeared on the distant sea. She ran back and shouted in surprise: "Mage Continent! We are about to reach Mage Continent!"
However, she found that everyone was looking at Adam with ashen, Krystal shrank his neck and stopped talking.
It wasn't until Adam picked up the high-quality fragments in the rune group that William asked, "Is it the cause of the beast attack? You already knew that, didn't you?"
When Adam's hand touched the shard, his spiritual power quickly and automatically interacted with it, and the magic power began to condense at a much faster rate than usual. Adam hurriedly restrained himself, thus avoiding the ridiculous ending of his soul being overwhelmed by magic power. .
"Well, yes. I knew that."
