Chapter 125

"Peter? Peter Orme? "

Hayley confirmed. "Yes, that's the name. I heard that he's a level one official mage. Because Molan City is the largest city near the coastline, there are some resources in the city that are very important to the Orme family, so they can't just give it up like normal cities. So, the Orme family headquarters sent an official mage to protect the resources."

Shirley could tell that Adam's tone was a little strange, so she asked, "You know this Anti-Mage?"

Adam did not explain anything and directly agreed. "I can join you, but is it just the three of us?"

Hayley frowned. "Of course it's good to have more people. After all, he's an official mage. But my sister and I don't trust others, and those in the war alliance are too annoying, so …" She was afraid that Adam would feel the danger and withdraw, so she hurriedly said, "My sister and I are very powerful. Our combined magic is only a little weaker than a real mage!"

Shirley was more attentive than her sister. She saw the pendant around Adam's neck and said confidently, "That's an active sealing crystal on your chest, right?"

Adam nodded and reached out to hold the pendant.

"That means you're an apprentice who's exceeded the threshold, but my sister and I together won't be weaker than you."

The three continued to talk for a while, and he also knew why the four apprentices said that he had ruined the plan.

There were fifteen different forces on Ceylon Island, and each of them had their own ruling areas. They were not very close to each other, which gave the trial apprentices an opportunity. As long as they disguised themselves as apprentices of other forces, they could get a certain degree of courtesy. In addition, they were now facing the same enemy. As long as they did not expose themselves and led the conversation to this topic, they would more or less get useful information.

That was how the twins got Peter's information.

Adam's action of destroying seven cities in a few days had increased the vigilance of the Anti-Mages, causing a large number of cities to be abandoned, and the source of information was cut off.

"Regardless of whether you're here or not, the Anti-Mages will quickly shrink their forces. What you've done is only bring this matter forward by a few days. Furthermore, the Anti-Mages' apprentices are nothing at all, and they won't know the truly valuable information." Hayley seemed to be very dissatisfied with the command center, her words full of disdain. "The true target of the War Trial was never the Anti-Mage Apprentices who are only worth a little merit. There's no way they don't know this, they're just looking for an excuse to make things difficult."

Then, Hayley concluded, "A bunch of self-righteous idiots."

Shirley tugged at her sister. "That's enough, Hayley." Then, he bid farewell to Adam and left. "Molan City is not very close to the fortress, so we need to leave early and arrive before dawn. Do you have any questions, Adam?"

Adam shook his head and sent the two of them away. He then sat by the bed and communicated with the master-servant contract.

"Master …" The Devil's weak voice appeared in Adam's mind. Following his summons, a puddle of greyish white fog appeared at Adam's feet. "I'm so hungry …"

Adam took out a few pieces of Ether crystals and threw them into the fog. The fog slowly surged until all the Ether crystals disappeared. Only then did the Devil recover some of its vitality, but it was still unable to transform.

Adam put it back into his mind, took out the sealed monster's flesh and asked, "What is this?"

The Devil said in disgust, "That's a bastard from the Abyss! It has never disappeared, it has always been in the depths of my consciousness! It's hidden in my inherited memories! "

Adam understood. As the Devil's master, he theoretically had complete control over the Devil, but Adam could not pry into the inherited memories. It seemed to be a protection that originated from a higher level. Adam felt that if he forced himself to read it, the Devil would be destroyed.

"That stupid, beast-like thing, no, something even more barbaric than a beast, it actually wanted to kill me and completely become an Abyss creature! Master, I almost couldn't see you! "The Devil said as it burst into tears.

"Shut up." The Devil cried endlessly. Adam frowned and listened for a while. Finally, he could not help but interrupt it. He then pointed at the piece of flesh and asked, "Now, is it dead or alive?"

"It … it's still alive …" The Devil sobbed, feeling very wronged. "As long as I lose my mind, it will take the opportunity to come out and take over my body."

Adam's eyes lit up. He finally felt that the Devil's existence was more valuable. Compared to the will life that he could not understand now, the Abyss creatures could be directly studied. Adam's mind had already turned countless ideas of using these powerful invasive and restorative cells.

Every one of them was very fascinating.

Peter Amu was flying towards Molan City. Although he had been entrusted with an important task, he didn't feel the slightest bit of joy in his heart. He had lived for a very long time, and had experienced a total of three war trials. No one knew what kind of lowly methods he had used to live until now.

This time, he knew that he could not escape. He had been abandoned. More than ten years ago, after the doppelganger that gathered 25% of his main body's power was destroyed, his resources and speaking rights in the family had been declining. The family was even unwilling to provide him with enough Human Despair to recover his strength. Now, he only had 15% of his peak strength.

"This is my only chance," Peter Amu said to himself.

There were countless mortals living in Molan City, and there was also a despair observation field specially prepared for the family's geniuses. A huge amount of Human Despair gathered there at all times. As long as he could devour it all, he would have the hope of returning to his peak.

"Only strength belongs to me. If I can become a Level 8 Mage during this period, I can survive. The family can't do anything even if they are dissatisfied with me." As a veteran Anti-Mage who had survived three war trials, he knew the rules better than the trial apprentices. He knew that once the trial began, the traitors would not provide any help to the apprentices. Although he knew that the chances of rising two levels were slim, he still wanted to give it a try.

Peter Amu arrived at the Molan City's City Lord's Mansion with a glow darker than the night. The pinnacle Anti-Mage apprentice who was the City Lord hurriedly greeted him and said respectfully, "Sir Peter, the gathering of resources is basically complete. Please wait for one more day. After that, you can evacuate at any time. However, the mortals in the city are a little troublesome …"

"Oh? Have all the Despair Crystals and Energy Stones been collected? Leave it to me. "

The Anti-Mage apprentice was stunned for a moment and took a step back. "Sir Peter, this is against the rules. The resources must be handed over to the family by me. Unless I die, you can't take over."

Peter Amu nodded and smiled kindly. "That's right. The rules are like this, so …"
