Age of Adepts

Songta Town.

As the last human settlement east of the Alvis region, it is a must-see for the Black Forest. Because there are often jungle monsters that come out to harass humans, it is also one of the most insecure areas that the Sandtalin Association has specifically noted.

Near the evening, the sky was gloomy and dark.

On a black carriage to the town of Sonta, Grim picked up the curtain and carefully looked around.

It is a large expanse of rolling hills. The lush and green are covered with towering trees. It is green and there is a winding double-row carriageway between the hills.

The carriage he hired was on this mountain road.

Looking back at Grim, the short-haired middle-aged man can’t help but remind: “Lord Adept, you have to sit down, we have to speed up. This mountain road is safe during the day, but once it gets into the night, it becomes Very dangerous. So we have to get to the town of Sonta before the night!”

Grim clicked nodded and didn’t speak.

He saw it, and as the sky gradually darkened, a carriage driving on this mountain road also accelerated. When the two cars were intertwined and the coaches were not in the mood to talk to each other, they were all burying their heads.

Carriage follows the mountain road and travels faster. The worse the road is, the more bumpy it is. However, it was very smooth. Before the sky was dark, the carriage arrived at its destination, Songta Town.

Songta Township is said to be a human town, but it is more like a military stronghold.

A military stronghold surrounded by tall, thick solid wood fences!

Grim has also visited countless human villages and towns, and has never seen such a tight protection.

The thick, towering wooden fence was built from rough logs cut down from nearby forests, up to 3 meters, and the upper end has been sharpened to reveal white hibiscus. The wooden door that entered the town was covered with a thick layer of metal guards that were fixed together by huge copper rivets.

There are a lot of fences and high turrets and arrow towers. It is faintly visible on the patrol.

When Grim’s black carriage slowly entered the town, the whole picture of Pineta Town was presented to him by little by little.

This is a relatively cold and remote town.

There is only one street in total, and the wood houses and houses built by hundreds of tall logs are arranged on both sides of the street, forming the town’s Host’s Body. A few tall buildings are hung with wooden signboards that barely make people see their function.

Pubs, hotels, blacksmith shops, grocery stores, and a small secret shop…

You can also see the Secret Store here, Grim has to feel that Witchcraft’s strength is ubiquitous!

The black carriage soon stopped in front of a simple two-story wooden building, which is also the only hotel in the town.

When Grim stepped down from the carriage, he was able to see the owner of the hotel who couldn’t help but squat and express his expression. This is a middle age person with short brown hair and gray burlap clothes with a smile on his face.

Seeing Grim’s iconic Adept gown, the other party’s smile was even stronger. His expression, though cautious, does not cringe, and is obviously a guy who often deals with Adept.

“I need a clean and comfortable room!” Grim held the Sorcerer Staff in front of the owner. The shadow cast by 2 meters almost completely covered the other side: “In addition, I want to recruit a small locally. Type Expedition, you help me to release the wind…”

“Everything will be as you wish!” The owner of the hotel nodded: “Please come with me!”

The arrival of an Official Adept also apparently caused a slight shock throughout the town. In particular, with the announcement of the owner, Jack, the mercenary, adventurer and Apprentice Adept, who were entrenched in the town, immediately became incited.

Don’t look at the appearance of Songta Town, but it is very famous throughout the Alvis area.

From the town, going deeper into the forest than the 10 in the northeast, you will be exposed to the edge of the Black Forest. Walking through it, you will encounter a variety of exotic creatures, plants and wild beast that are difficult to meet in ordinary mountain forests.

So the town of Sonta is the last replenishment location near the Black Forest, and is the place where all the guys who want to explore the Black Forest must stay or pass.

Although the Black Forest is extremely dangerous, but as long as it is not too deep, only in the periphery, it is possible to find some strange magical plants and Magicicked wild beast. For them, an experienced adventure team can have a good grasp of some spoils of war as long as the professional mix is ​​reasonable.

The secret store in the town is dedicated to providing basic Witchcraft supplies for the adventurer team entering and leaving the Black Forest, and a large number of specialized stores for magicicked items.

…………

In a room less than ten flats, except for a bed, a wooden table and a chair, there are almost no other items. The wooden tables and chairs seem to be made of mountain wood, not at all, carefully carved and polished, with a hint of wood’s unique fragrance.

The conditions of the accommodation are very simple.

But considering the environment here, Grim is no longer picky about anything.

In contrast, the food provided by the hotel is quite good.

Soft bread, green succulent vegetable puree, and a golden unidentified wild beast ribs fried… Grim tasted it, tasted good, and had a mountain flavor, and the ribs provided plenty of energy.

All of this, Grim did not discuss the price issue with the hotel owner Jack, the other party naturally put everything up to the best standards.

As for the price?

Adepts don’t care about money, they just care about it.

And this is the main reason why Jack is happy after seeing Adept!

Compared to the adventurers who are tempted, the real Adept never sees gold coins in comparison to Apprentice Adept, who are pretending to be generous.

When Grim filled his stomach, pushed open the plate in front of him, and gently wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, Jack, who was always on the sidelines, urged the maid to remove the tableware with a wink, while respectfully whispering: “Lord Adept, everyone you need is already waiting downstairs. Look…”

“Take me down!” Grim reached out and picked up the ‘Destroyed Flame’ Sorcerer Staff at the table, and walked out of the room.

The living room on the first floor is full of adventurers coming to apply, the number is probably fifty-sixty, and there are also people dressed up by Apprentice Adept. The guy who can live in the Black Forest has a sturdy body and a murderous aura.

Instead of going down the stairs, Grim stood on the handrail at the second floor, overlooking the crowd in front of him, his eyes immersed in the horrible terrifying pressure.

“I need a small-type exploration team from 5 to 7 people, preferably a veteran with rich experience in jungle life.” Grim slowly said his request: “This trip does not require hunting for fierce monsters, only I need to explore an area with me. The ordinary wild beast will be handed over to you. If there is a strong monster, I will naturally deal with it. Your gains will be yours during the trip, but you must give priority to completing my exploration mission. This is The entire content of the mission!”

There was a slight embarrassment in the hall.

The faces of everyone were excited and uplifting, and apparently did not expect this Adept to promise such excellent conditions. However, Grim noticed that several of the arrogant adventurer’s faces showed a dignified and thoughtful expression.

“I don’t know if this adult can reveal the general area that needs to be explored?” An old-fashioned adventurer raised his chest and said: “I don’t want to spy on your secrets, but I want to estimate the risk level of this mission! ”

When I heard the adventurer, the crowd that was already inciting quieted again and focused on Grim, the mysterious Adept.

“The area I want to explore is near Plague Forest!” Grim replied faintly.

The name Plague Forest has just been exported, and a huge pumping sound is heard in the crowd downstairs.

Most people’s faces show a shocking expression.

The money of Lord Adept is not so good!

Although they don’t care about money, the cost of employment is often five to ten times that of ordinary adventures, but the areas they often haunt are often ten to 100 times more dangerous than ordinary tasks.

Plague Forest ?

As an adventurer who often lives in the Black Forest, they are very familiar with this name. It is located outside 300 in the northeast of Songta Town, which means that if you want to get there, they need to go deep into the Black Forest 290.

This… is already a very dangerous area!

It seems that the adventurer in front of him was scared by the name of Plague Forest. Grim right hand tapped the railing and announced another news.

“It is because the mission of this trip is dangerous, I am willing to pay for 200Magic Crystal!”

Grim’s words immediately set off a new storm in the crowd, all the adventurer eyeballs were red, and the discussion was heated, and the hall was full of noise.

Grim looked at it very clearly. Some young mercenaries with a face of tenderness shook their heads out of the hall, and another group of old mercenaries retired after careful consideration.

Soon, there were only ten people left in the hall.

“Adult, my name is Lovi, the sword shield of Level 2, I am willing to join your team.” Lovi is a tall and strong young Swordsman, turning and pointing at the two people behind him: “This is my younger sister.” , Fira, the archer of Level 3. This is Rhodes, the thief of Level 3.”

Grim’s eyelids made a turn on them and scanned their basic data almost instantaneously.

Adept World is respected by Adept, and the rest of the profession is undoubtedly unprecedentedly suppressed.

The Level 2 Level 3 in Love’s mouth is just a symbolic name for the Human World common fighter, which corresponds to almost the same order of Apprentice Adept.

Level 1 is equivalent to Pseudo-Adept in apprentice, Level 2 is equivalent to Advanced Level apprentice, Level 3 Intermediate Level apprentice, Level 4 Novice apprentice… Almost all common fighters are divided like this.

As for the fighter that can compete with Adept, sorry, it has never appeared in Adept Continent!

The Luo Wei, who came out from the station, is only twenty-seven years old. In the absence of elemental innate talent, he can have Level 2 strength by fighting skills and physical body alone, and it is enough to be classified as a genius. Among them.

As for the two behind him, the physical quality is also unprecedented, which makes Grim can’t help but gently nodded.

The other party is obviously a mature adventure team, so the team is more comfortable to use!

Since the remaining adventurers dared to stay, they naturally had great confidence in themselves and reported their careers and abilities to Grim. Grim or nodded or shaking his head, leaving only a level 4 hunter called Neil and an Intermediate Level potion apprentice called Anthony.

The reason why I chose a Level 4 hunter was purely Jack’s introduction.

This Neil battle is not very good, but it is a good cook, and the deliciousness of the barbecue is widely praised.

For the choice of Lord Adept, the three people of Lovi can only shrug their helplessly.

Sure enough, it is a precious Lord Adept, even go to the Black Forest to take risks, the most considered is how to not abuse your stomach!

However, at this time, in addition to the five selected by Grim in the hall, there was only one mysterious person in the black-robed body sitting alone in the corner of the hall.

When Grim’s eyes slowly fell on ‘he’, the mysterious person stood up and crouched down and sang to him: “Lord Adept, we met again!”

It turned out to be ‘he’!
