Age of Adepts

The Wizarding World, The White Tower.

Still in a spacious hall on the seventh floor of the White Tower, Wizard Meryl was holding a piece of parchment that had just arrived, silently in a daze.

There was only a short line of writing on the smooth and soft parchment, telling her to immediately transfer the control of the White Tower to the Fate Witch Xuefu after receiving the letter, and then rush back to the Throne of Flame to report.

As for the reasons for leaving and the time of leaving, there was no explanation in the letter.

Such an abrupt letter intends to deprive wizard Meryl of all family power, and it is impossible for anyone to do it. But only the person who wrote this letter can!

In the lower right corner of the parchment letter, a unique imprint formed by the flame witchcraft was slightly burning, but it did not damage the parchment at all.

Of course Meryl could recognize it, it was the private witchcraft mark of her teacher Greem.

Gently touch the burning witchcraft mark with your fingers, and while feeling the slight burning pain, you can also feel a witchcraft breath emanating from the mark.

It is the mark of witchcraft etched by my teacher himself!

If the teacher has something to explain to himself, just call him over with a witchcraft message. But now, the teacher's secret letter in the form of an official document clearly requires him to hand over the control authority of the White Tower.

What happened within the family? Someone slandering themselves behind their back? This letter is forged? ...

A series of questions rose from the bottom of her heart, but stroking the teacher's unique mark of witchcraft, Meryl gradually stabilized her mind.

The White Tower has always been under the joint control of Meryl and the Witch of Fate, Xuefu, but Meryl is the main one, and Xuefu is only responsible for some affairs related to the Witch of Fate. Therefore, it is inevitable that the teacher transferred himself away and temporarily handed over the control of the White Tower to Xue Fu.

However, having been in charge of the White Tower for so many years, Meryl almost devoted most of her time and energy to it. One by one, long and short-term development plans are also being carried out in an orderly manner. At this time, Meryl suddenly transferred herself away, and Meryl was really worried that her successor would mess up these things.

That Witch Xuefu's personality is too cold, and her methods are not smooth enough. If nearly a thousand wizards and apprentices in the White Tower are handed over to her, Meryl will really be deceiving herself if she says not to worry!

"What do you know about this letter?" Meryl frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking Wen Lier beside her.

Wenlier, who was dressed in a gorgeous aristocratic gown, with a handsome face and a straight figure, replied in a gentle and gentle manner: "Master Mary entrusted someone to deliver the letter, and the people who handled it were all trusted people, so there is nothing wrong with the letter. And... ...Master Mary asked someone to send a word, this time is a good thing, you must not hesitate!"

The letter was sent by the teacher through Lady Mary's channel, and did not go through the normal communication channel between the Throne of Flame and the White Tower. This seems to indicate that the teacher doesn't want the Flaming Throne to know the news too early. Could it be that something happened to Gargamel?

With deep suspicion and confusion, Meryl invited the Fate Witch Xuefu, and handed her a fist-sized crystal rune face-to-face. This crystal rune is the core prop to control the White Tower Spirit, and it is also an important symbol of Meryl's status in the past.

The Shev witch seemed to know something, and didn't ask any questions, but asked Earl Wenlier to continue to fulfill his current obligations. The White Tower announced to the outside world that Wizard Meryl is conducting an important witchcraft experiment, and will not meet any subordinates in the short term.

Although this kind of thing is rare, it has happened several times in the past years, so it didn't arouse the suspicion and suspicion of the White Tower.

…………

The transmitted light gradually faded away.

Meryl finally survived the time-space dislocation of teleportation, and once again saw the scene in front of her clearly.

This is not the public teleportation array of the Flame Throne Wu Tower, but the hidden teleportation array on the fifth floor of the Wu Tower. So when Meryl opened her eyes, she saw a tall flame figure standing outside the teleportation array, silently examining herself.

Of course Meryl knew that this flaming figure was actually a flaming clone of her teacher, so she hurriedly bowed to salute.

"Just come!" The flame figure nodded slightly at her: "Come with me, you may have to stay here for a while..."

Led by the flame figure, Meryl came to a biological laboratory on the fifth floor of the Wu Tower. Looking at the glassware, large and small, full of beautiful glassware, and the strange specimen models floating in it, Meryl was both excited and in awe.

This... is the secret laboratory of a high-ranking wizard!

Even if you are the opponent's disciple, if you don't have a good reason, it is impossible to step into it. And everything that appears here really shows the solid steps that the teacher has taken in the biology and blood experiment.

As for the subject and direction of the teacher's research, it is difficult to distinguish it with Meryl's knowledge reserve and advanced knowledge. However, she also has her own unique method of discrimination, which is to look at the level of the experimental target.

Among the hundreds of living specimens in the entire biological laboratory, she could identify less than eleven. And these only identifiable specimen creatures are often terrifying monsters of level 2 or 3.

Among them, the most conspicuous monster specimen, Meryl recognized very clearly, was the third-level beholder encountered when the White Tower expanded to the outside world seven years ago. At this moment, the beholder has become a living specimen in the teacher's private laboratory, floating in a glass jar filled with brown-yellow liquid, ups and downs, life and death unknown.

And similar to the beholder, there are as many as four biological specimens with a powerful aura.

Although they have been dead for a long time, the powerful and ferocious aura soaked in their bodies cannot be easily taken away even by death!

Led by the fiery figure, Meryl passed through rows of strangely hideous and creepy biological specimen areas, and finally saw her teacher in front of a small and exquisite experimental table.

The fiery figure stepped forward, lightly touched Greem's body, and merged with him again.

But Greem straightened up and turned to look at Meryl.

"Teacher, did you ask me to come?"

Every time she saw Greem's young and handsome face, Meryl would sigh from the bottom of her heart.

It is obvious that the teacher is older than himself, but in terms of appearance and appearance alone, he, the disciple, is older than the teacher.

Although Meryl's face was beautiful and delicate, there was already a kind of oldness and vicissitudes after experiencing the world's events between her eyebrows and eyes. But the other party was still so handsome and tough, with a straight nose bridge, deep and restrained black pupils, and an aura of youthful life that was so strong that it could be heard all over his body.

With the short lifespan of two to three hundred years as a first-level wizard, Meryl, who is now in her 140s, has indeed entered the middle and late stages of her life. And the teacher has become a third-level wizard, and the most basic lifespan of a third-level wizard is 700-800 years. With the teacher's age of only 160 years old, it is indeed still a golden growth period in life.

That's why Greem, the teacher, looked younger and more energetic than Meryl, the student. Of course, such a scene is very common in the wizard community, and it is also a situation that wizards are accustomed to.

"Well, I called you here specially this time. You will live here during this time, and don't have any contact with the outside world. I have a special witchcraft experiment, and I need you to stay here and cooperate to complete it!" Not caring about the suspicious look in Meryl's eyes at all, Greem arranged the matter directly.

"But... Teacher, all the affairs in the White Tower have just been put on track. There are still many affairs to be dealt with in Doverland City and Musent City... That Princess Vanessa is also doing things in the White Tower... this The collection of resource points in the first quarter will also be arranged immediately... the deal with the dark witches..." As Greem's disciple, Meryl is obviously a little more intimate and indulgent than outsiders, and she can't help being tender. complained loudly.

But her words were quickly interrupted by Greem.

"Meryl, what is the most important thing for a wizard?" Greem's tall figure stood upright, his black eyes staring at her indifferently.

"Knowledge? It seems that many wizards believe that knowledge is power! But these years, I feel that power is also very important. With power, you can collect resources faster and better. It seems that power is also very good! But in normal times, and There are many wizards who believe in talent and think that talent can determine everything..." Meryl thought seriously, and her expression gradually became blurred and changed as she deepened her thinking.

"Meryl, the most important thing for a wizard is power!" Greem said firmly.

"Power?" Meryl couldn't help muttering and repeating.

"Power is what wizards should really pursue. Only when they master power can wizards stand out from the crowd and become a powerful race that rules and controls everything in the world." Greem paused for a moment: "As for the knowledge, power and talent you mentioned , are just a way for wizards to gain power. With knowledge, if you cannot transform them into powerful witchcraft abilities, then knowledge is also weak!"

"Power is a derivative of power. It is only a marginal effect of power, and it should not be the goal of a powerful wizard!"

"Talent determines how easy it is for a wizard to obtain power! If you have an outstanding talent, it will speed up your progress and make your path to ascension smoother and shorter."

"However, in the final analysis, they are all derivatives born for power. As wizards, we should not pursue those trivial details. Instead, we should go straight to the source and grasp the source of wizard power..."
