Age of Adepts

Pamira Town is the closest material supply point to Katopaxi Volcano.

The location where the foreign apprentice is reported is also located here.

When Grim arrived here with a slow carriage, it was exactly the dinner time of the day.

Pamira Town, a small but not cold town. The town is small and there is only one central street. It belongs to a small place that can be seen all over the town at a glance.

There are more than ten wooden houses built along the two sides of the street. At first glance, they are ordinary houses. In addition, there is a pub, a grocery store, a simple and humid hotel, and a population of 100 households. This is the whole town!

Just down from the carriage of the station, Grim faintly heard the boring bang of the hong long long from the distant mountains. This sound is not an occasional one, but it has always existed since Grim was close to the mountain. On the periphery, the sound may not be so obvious, just like the snarling thunder in the winter, but when he came to the town, he immediately realized the power of the magical power of nature.

This is probably the sound of the continuous underground activity of the volcano!

Grim couldn’t help but wonder when the residents of the town lived in this environment for many years. What made them want to endure such a terrible environment and stay here?

You know, although it is almost the temporary break of Katopaxi Volcano, from the distant volcanic taper, it still spurts out the heavy plume and dust. The town is at the foot of the mountain less than seven miles from the volcano. It is affected by the volcano and the sky is always gray. Inside and outside the town, both on the building and on the gravel road, there is a thick layer of volcanic ash everywhere.

Waiting for Grim’s in the small hotel is an Advanced Level apprentice, Ivan, seeing the chest badge worn on his gray robes, which should belong to the local Chubell Family. This Katopaxi Volcano belongs to their family resource point, and Adept is not allowed to enter the volcano without their permission.

Seeing that Grim’s is only Advanced Level, Ivan obviously doesn’t believe it. I can’t help but coldly said: “The inside of the volcano is not safe even in the rest period. It is full of horrible hot air and Lava Monster. Are you sure you can survive in it?”

Grim indifferently looked around the hotel lobby, and the hand smacked a few times in the air, and a Witchcraft rune burning an elemental flame floated in the air. His move certainly attracted the attention of everyone. Six or seven people at the wooden table in the hall couldn’t help but look forward to here.

To be honest, since Grim has entered the threshold of the Fire Bathing Body and passed through the energy of the underground lava, his body is nearly 2 meters. And his dark red hair and the incomprehensible temperament of the darkness condensed his unusual momentum, which attracted attention.

“Well, you are fire attribute apprentice! Then the environment will have a much smaller impact on you. Just avoid those nasty Lava Monsters and you might be able to go deeper!” Ivan nodded and took out A white stone was handed over to Grim.

This is even the passport that he entered the volcano inside a few days later!

“Go and talk to them! The people in this hall are the exotic apprentices who come here to do the task. If you can form a small team, the task will be a little easier!” Since I discovered that Grim is a fire attribute apprentice, Ivan is obviously A lot of enthusiasm.

After giving a compliment, Grim nodded walked slowly to the hall and slowly scanned the many strange faces that were gathering at the table and whispered. Finally, I chose to sit alone at the table.

During the underground trip, he was more interested in completing his Fire Bathing Body and was not enthusiastic about the rewards of the mission, so he did not have the team’s mind. Therefore, when you come here, you will have a look of indifference that is not close to people, just to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Apprentice Adept are all keen minds, and since Grim has put so much in the situation, naturally no one will harass him again. And Grim took advantage of this opportunity to slowly see the situation of everyone, and I know what I know.

The lobby of the small hotel is not too big, the light is extremely dim, probably sitting on the 17 Apprentice Adept, of which Pseudo-Adept level is only 2, the rest are the same Advanced Level apprentice as Grim. This actually fits the characteristics of this task.

To collect resources in the underground volcano, on the one hand, to endure the influence of extreme environment, on the other hand, to deal with the elemental creatures such as Lava Monster and Fire Spirit living in it. So Advanced Level apprentice is already the lowest threshold for this mission!

Grim dared to conclude that the elemental affinity in these Advanced Level apprentices is definitely more than half of the fire attribute, leaving those who are even confident about themselves even if they are not fire attributes. The reason why Pseudo-Adept is small is purely because the task of collecting resources is quite a face.

If you are lucky, you may be able to hit the fire diamond mine exposed after the lava has subsided in the upper volcano. You may have bad luck. There is a lot of people in the 3 month mission period.

At that time, not only did the task rewards not be available, I am afraid that I would have to pay for the task share.

So if there are no special needs, Pseudo-Adept will never want to go to the underground volcano to try their luck.

After mastering the general situation of the task Apprentices, Grim hurriedly filled his stomach and plunged into his room and never went out. He came still early, 5 days from the volcanic pause, so in these few days, he did not step out, even the three meals a day let the waiter directly into the house.

Using these days of free time, he worked hard to study Flame Barrier. He feels that this follow-up defensive Witchcraft is the best fit for his Fire Bathing Body. If he can master it as early as possible, he is likely to form a body-like flame similar to the Abyss Flame Demon. At that time, if anyone wants to attack him, he must first endure the uninterrupted flame damage, which is more in line with his insidious sinister mentality.

In the meantime, there were two or three Apprentice Adepts coming to visit and wanted to pull him into his own expedition team, but they were all rejected by Grim. So one-on-two, all the Advanced Level Apprentices who want to go underground volcano exploration know that there is this guy who is going to enter alone into the ground.

Apprentice, which can be mixed with Advanced Level, is not a simple mind. They all understand that the guy who dares to do this is a hard hand that has great confidence in himself, so no one makes irresponsible remarks about it. However, it is still rare to see Grim in the dark!

Soon, the days when the people waited for it came!

On this day, the hong long long bang that has been lingering in the ears of everyone has finally stopped.

The gray smoke pillars that crossed the sky in the distance began to become scattered, and the volcanic ash that had fallen from the sky began to decrease and eventually stopped.

Grim, who was silently reading in the room, felt the change of the outside world, pushed open the wooden window facing the street, and immediately packed everything around and walked out of the room. There are still a lot of apprentices that are ready for him. After everyone nodded in the hallway, they gathered in the hotel lobby.

The Ivan who is in charge of the team has been waiting here.

Waiting for another quarter of an hour, after the 20 mission apprentice arrived, everyone slid out and followed Ivan to the foot of the volcano.

The journey of seven or eight miles was nothing at the foot of the Apprentice Adept. It took a quarter of an hour and everyone came to a natural stone cave halfway down the volcanic cone. The two Phuudo Family’s Pseudo-Adept have been waiting here, and they have been placed in the public after checking the passports of everyone.

The stone cave is not big, only 20 pings, filled with crooked rock peaks and limestone. This may be a lava channel that leads directly to the volcano. There is no such thing as mossy lichens, and there are thick cracks and deep grooves on both sides of the rock wall. Cooked hot air.

Xu is the ground lava just receded soon, even the ground here is hot, the channel is full of a pungent smell of sulfur. If there is no special method, the ordinary person will be invaded with the horrible fire poison in the body in such dirty air, and the tracheal alveoli will become a blood-filled water bladder.

However, the test of this environment is of course unavoidable to come to Apprentices, each and everyone multi-colored protective cover has covered them inside, to isolate the outside interference. Instead of revealing his Fire Bathing Body, Grim blessed himself with the High Temperature Force Field.

He quietly looked around, and as he did, the apprentice with the fire attribute defense had 8, which accounted for almost half of the 20 bit apprentice. The rest is not the earth attribute is the wind attribute, does not see a water attribute. Presumably those who have water attribute affinity are not willing to suffer in this environment.

Compared to other elemental pedigrees, water attribute is not only difficult to gather Water Element in this environment, but also the Witchcraft formidable power and effects are reduced by 7. As long as they have no problems with their brains, they will never run here to find abuse!

When you get here, everyone is basically looking at each other.

Several apprentices that formed the team were put together, and the elemental protection was uniformly imposed by the fire attribute apprentice, and it was drilled into the channel without saying anything. The residual temperature in the channel has not been exhausted. Once the narrow environment encounters an unpredictable large-scale eruption of hot air, it is also a risk of life in the Advanced Level apprentice.

So everyone confessed to each other, and the small groups scattered into different channels and disappeared into the depths of the underground.

Grim noticed that the Apprentice Adept not at all of the Chubell Family followed the outsiders into the channel. It seems that they are more familiar with the terrain here, have a more convenient place to go, and do not need to be as bad luck as the outsiders.

Grim shook his head and sighed, and he leaned over and plunged into a lava passage.
