Chapter 119

Island of Ceylon, Orme City, Orme Family.

The Anti-Mage apprentice guarding the family members' soul crystals stared blankly at the twenty-three soul crystals shattering one after another. His face was filled with panic as he scrambled into the official mages' meeting hall. He knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "My lords, all the family members in Keyin City have been annihilated. They are the traitors. They are here!"

"Trash, what are you panicking for? Get out!" One of the official mages was furious. He swept the apprentice with his spirit and threw him out of the door. Then he looked at one of the mages sitting at the head of the table and said, "Lord Cook, this is the traitors' provocation. We must fight back!"

Cook Orme's face was hidden in his black mage robe. He reached out and stopped the official mage. "Of course we must fight back, but we must not be reckless. Quinn, you don't know how terrifying they are. I don't want us to be the first family to be annihilated. If that happens, even if we die, we won't have the face to face the patriarch and elders."

"Lord Cook, I don't understand what you are afraid of. They are just a group of apprentices, aren't they? If you are afraid, I can … "

Smack.

With a crisp sound, Quinn rose into the air. Cook's gloomy voice was filled with murderous intent. "I'll say it again. They are not ordinary apprentices. They are the elites among the betrayers. Their magic is even stronger than yours. A hundred years ago, I saw with my own eyes that my father was turned into ashes by a betrayer who suddenly advanced in the battle. I don't want to see anyone here follow in his footsteps."

Cook paused for a moment. The scene kept replaying in his mind. A hundred years ago, he was just an apprentice at the critical point. If it wasn't for his father's desperate protection, he wouldn't have been able to live until now. It was the nightmare of his life.

Cook sighed. "This is a disaster for us, but it is just a game for the traitors." After saying that, he walked to the front and helped Quinn up. "Don't act rashly. Follow the plan and go where you are supposed to go. Otherwise, I will sacrifice you."

Quinn growled in a low muffled voice and returned to his seat in silence.

Another mage at the head of the table said, "Alright, Cook. He is just too young. I believe he won't ruin our plan. But are you sure you want to do that? Although they are just lowly commoners, they are still the source of our power. "

Cook shook his head. "We have to give up on them and gather all our forces together. You should know the origin of the Pariahs. As long as we can survive this, the traitors will give us a chance to breathe. By then, there will be an endless stream of Pariahs coming to the island. "

"And it's not just us. The other forces will do the same."

"Peter, I'll leave this mission to you. Try your best to relocate as many mortals as possible under the premise of ensuring speed. If necessary, sacrifice their lives to stop the traitors."

All the Anti-Mages in the hall fell silent. They were unwilling to admit it, but that was the truth. They were just pets reared by the traitor.

The huge mana fluctuations and flickering lightning above Keyin City spread far into the night sky. In a town not far from Keyin City, three trial apprentices looked in the direction of Keyin City in shock, speechless for a long time.

"Who did it?"

"I don't know. There are too many strangers. However, this power is not something an apprentice can achieve. Moreover, it's electric. Could it be that he used a magic scroll?"

"That's too reckless. After all, we are just apprentices. Attacking recklessly will cause the Anti-Mages to retaliate. How many magic scrolls can there be?"

In their hearts, they had already assumed that the magic just now was the power of a magic scroll. They were still complaining about Adam's recklessness in their hearts. According to the thinking of most apprentices, the trial mission should be completed by a team. Now, the priority was to gather more people, not alert the enemy.

After a while, one of them asked an apprentice who was holding a large rat in his hand, "How's the investigation going?"

"There are some problems. There are traces of magic circles in the city. The gray rats need to go around the lines, or they will be discovered. According to the current progress, it will be done in two hours."

The number of towns on Ceylon Island was unexpected. Adam randomly chose a direction, and after flying for less than two hours, he found another gathering place.

This town was not far from Keyin City. It should also be under the rule of the Orm family. Night had completely fallen, and the town was plunged into darkness. Only the mansion in the center was still brightly lit.

The Devil automatically stood up. "Master, I'm going."

The Devil had already been appointed. Anyway, no matter what, Adam would not let it go. It might as well take the initiative to avoid some punishment.

But just as it was about to sneak into the town, it heard Adam say, "Wait."

Just a moment ago, when Adam glanced at the bracelet, he discovered a new function: positioning.

At this moment, the wristband clearly displayed four nodes. The first one was Adam's location, while the other three were actually nearby.

He landed and gently released his Mage Armor. The point on the bracelet that belonged to him suddenly enlarged. Adam waited quietly in the same place. After a few minutes, three figures cautiously approached.

Adam saw their fear. A flash of lightning flashed in front of him, illuminating his face and the bracelet on his hand. He said, "I am Adam of the Moldova Tower."

After seeing the bracelet, the three sighed in relief. This thing could not be faked. They stood a few meters away from Adam and began to introduce themselves.

Two of the three came from the same tower, but Adam had never heard of them. It was obvious that they did not know Adam.

One of them seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked Adam, "You're the one who attacked just now?"

Adam did not understand, but there was no need to hide it. "If you're referring to that side, yes, it's me."

The person seemed to be a little dissatisfied. "You're too reckless. How can you act recklessly at this time? If you let anyone escape or got hit by the curse, you'll bring trouble to everyone."

Adam frowned. He did not think that the trouble of others had anything to do with him. The Hyperdimensional Mage had already said that the mission was completely up to him. What right did these people have to criticize him?

Thinking of this, he felt a little bored. His desire to interact with the other apprentices also faded. He took a step back and said calmly, "In that case, goodbye."

The apprentice who questioned Adam was stunned. He wanted to say something else, but at this moment, the big rat let out a sharp squeak.

The apprentice holding the rat looked up and said, "I've checked. There are no official Mages in the city. There are 87 apprentice-level energy waves. There's the aura of a critical point."
