Chapter 124

Adam nodded. If the price of killing someone was very high, these two methods were indeed the most difficult to deal with.

Isolation meant excluding Adam from the group, not giving him any information, not giving him any resources, and not providing him with any help. Neutralization was the other extreme. The most difficult and dangerous mission was given to Adam, and he could choose whether to accept it or not. If he accepted, it was his own fault if he died outside or failed to complete the mission. If he didn't accept, he would continue to be isolated.

To most acolytes, this would be a dead end. But to Adam …

Hehe.

Adam checked the Devil's situation in his mind while waiting for the four to clean up the battlefield. Half an hour passed quickly, and the five were ready to return to the headquarters.

— — —

The headquarters was hastily built in the middle of a town. The apprentices used magic to raise a fortress on the ruins of the former city lord's mansion. There were no cumbersome identity checks. After flashing his merit bracelet, Adam entered the fortress without any hassle.

The four parted ways with Adam before entering. Obviously, they didn't want to get too close to Adam and cause unnecessary trouble.

Adam didn't care. He chose an empty room, set up a barrier, and went to the main hall of the headquarters.

Probably because the teleportation points were scattered, Adam could only see less than a hundred apprentices. Adam didn't recognize a single one of them.

Most of the time, the apprentices communicated with each other about their respective strengths and requests to form a team. Adam didn't hear any useful information, but it wasn't hard to understand. Every piece of information was worth merit points, and no one wanted to be taken advantage of.

In another room of the headquarters, five apprentices sat in front of two screens hanging from the ceiling. One of them showed a map of Ceylon Island. Almost all of it was red, and only a few green spots were scattered. The other screen showed an image of the main hall.

"That's the apprentice who started the first battle?" One of them pointed at Adam, who was sitting alone.

"The first battle was nothing, but he actually destroyed seven cities in a row. Tsk, tsk. He's not simple."

"He's too reckless. I don't believe he's that strong. He's just relying on magic scrolls."

"Yes." The other four thought the same and nodded. The first person zoomed in on the screen and focused the camera on Adam. Then, he said, "It seems that we need to warn him. We can't let him do whatever he wants at this time. It will ruin our plan."

Adam, who was in the middle of the hall, suddenly raised his head. He felt that he was being watched. He released the magnetic field around him and then retracted it. He had discovered the surveillance device hidden in the dark.

"Oh? His senses are sharp. He has discovered us. So, who is going to talk to this friend? "

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the command center was pushed open. A female apprentice walked in and placed a crystal ball and a set of documents on the table.

"Lilith, you're back."

The female apprentice named Lilith waved her hand. When she saw Adam's projection on the screen, her expression changed. She waved her hand and turned off the screen. "Don't provoke him. We misjudged him."

Everyone looked at her in confusion. She put her hand on the crystal ball. If Adam were here, he would probably be surprised because the crystal ball was emitting his magic power.

"This is the magic power I collected in Keyin and several other towns. Feel it for yourselves."

The original five people frowned. They discovered that they seemed to have been too naive. If this was Adam's own strength, and not the magic scroll …

"He has surpassed the threshold. His magic power is infinitely close to that of an official Mage. I don't think any of us, including me, can do it."

"Even if you say so …"

Lilith interrupted him and flipped open the document. "Do you still remember Bill? Monte Carlo's Bill. "

Everyone nodded. "He was also a member of the war alliance. But I heard that he was killed by an apprentice from a small academy … Uh, could it be?"

Lilith nodded. "Yes, it's him."

Adam stared at the surveillance device while calculating in his mind. Killing a trial apprentice would deduct 05 merit points. He didn't know how many people there were in the command center. If he killed all of them, it would be troublesome. But if he only killed one or two, it would reduce his future troubles. It was worth it.

But just as he made up his mind, he felt that the surveillance device had disappeared. At the same time, a surprised voice sounded in Adam's ears. "Adam! When did you get here? "

Adam stood up and smiled. "Hello, Hayley. Hello, Shirley. I just arrived."

Shirley was still as cold as ever. Hayley sat down beside Adam, showing off the dozens of merit points she and her sister had earned. Adam was not used to her enthusiasm. Seeing that no one was bothering him, he wanted to go back to his room to study the Devil's situation. Just then, Hayley came over and asked mysteriously, "Hey, your major is electricity, right?"

Adam nodded.

"Were you the apprentice who destroyed the first city?"

Adam nodded again.

Hayley clapped her hands and excitedly turned to Shirley. "See, I told you my feeling was right. It was him!" She then turned to Adam and shouted, "My sister and I found out …"

Shirley stopped Hayley. "Shut up. Do you want everyone to know?"

She then smiled apologetically at Adam and said softly, "Sorry, Hayley is too immature. Can we go somewhere else to talk?"

Adam was curious, so he agreed to their request. The three of them went to Adam's room.

"What's the matter? You can talk now. "

Shirley said seriously, "Before this, you used your own magic to destroy the city, not a magic scroll, right?"

Adam was even more curious now. The twins must have found some incredible information. He released his magic, and in a short period of time, the twins' hair fluttered.

The two of them looked at each other. This was more convincing than any words. Adam's magic had passed through their Mage Armors. This was enough to prove how powerful Adam was.

Shirley continued, "You should know that we are now in the territory of the Aomu Family. Because of you … Erm, they started their defense in advance. After the command center gathered the information, they sent out apprentices in batches to destroy the small cities. Hayley and I got a very valuable piece of information during the mission just now."

Hayley jumped over. "Let me tell you, let me tell you! There is a big city along the coastline called Moran. Tomorrow, an official mage of the Aomu Family named Peter will arrive. My sister and I would like to invite you to kill him together! "
