Chapter 16

Seeing Adam walking towards him, the acolyte panicked even more. He tried to put on a brave front and shouted, "What are you trying to do? We're about to fight the magical beasts. Are you trying to fight among yourselves? Or are you saying that you don't want to give up your power and only want to be protected by us? "

Adam was unmoved and continued walking towards the apprentices. William couldn't help but say, "Adam, we should work together now. Believe me, even if you're a Grand Knight, you're no match for the magical beasts. Only by working together and using magic can we save ourselves." As he spoke, he reached out his hand and activated another magic ring. A high-speed wind blade formed in the air.

No wonder William was so confident. He had other magic items. As expected, after seeing William's display of power, the originally hesitant apprentices became more determined to follow him.

William shot the wind blade into the sea. After a loud bang, a huge wave spiraled up. William looked even more valiant against the waves. He looked at Adam and said, "Join us. The power of the alliance can protect you until you master magic and come ashore alive."

However, Adam was still unmoved and continued walking towards the apprentices. Ophelia couldn't help but say, "Adam, join us. The magical beasts are really strong."

"Move aside. You're blocking my way," Adam said to the apprentice.

The apprentice was stunned. He didn't expect Adam to leave without causing trouble for him. Then he came back to his senses and looked at Adam as if he was crazy. "Are you crazy? Didn't you hear what Mr. William said? That's a magical beast! How can we possibly defeat it without mastering magic? "

The others already thought of Adam as an idiot, a dead man who didn't know what was good for him. Only a few apprentices from the North still didn't give up. Corestal ran over worriedly and tried to pull Adam back into the crowd.

Adam stopped and looked at them. He remembered that Sam Eden had lent him the ring to study and decided to respond.

"The alliance of the weak is meaningless. Mage Black said that there are countless magic beasts in the sea, and they could climb onto the deck and tear you apart at any time. Do you think you can guarantee your safety with just a magic item?"

Adam sharply pointed out the loopholes in the alliance. William's expression changed. From the beginning, he did not plan to protect everyone. Those who were talented enough would be able to master magic in a short period of time. These were the people he wanted to rope in. As for the rest of the trash, who cared about their lives?

"I still have other magic items that I will distribute to everyone. As long as we can get through the initial difficulties, when more apprentices have mastered the Fireball Spell …"

Adam looked at him calmly and asked Sam Eden, "How long does that ring take to recharge?"

Sam Eden was not a fool. He had already reacted. "Fifteen days."

Adam turned and continued to leave, leaving behind one last sentence. "Instead of wasting time on meaningless things, why don't you seize the opportunity to master magic?"

No one stopped Adam. They had to admit that Adam was right, but even so, they could not leave the alliance. Although the alliance of the weak might not guarantee their survival, they might not be the first to die. This was the thought that was echoing in their minds now.

"Mr. William, the eastern apprentices and I still agree to the formation of the alliance." Quentin walked to William's side and said.

William stared at Adam's back with hatred. After Adam pointed it out, although these apprentices would still join the alliance, their trust in him was almost non-existent. "Damn it, it should have been perfect. Damn it!"

The smart ones had already started to think for themselves. At this time, it was no longer possible to use deceit to get others to die for him. This undoubtedly lowered his level of safety greatly.

Randy also led the western apprentices to William's side to express his agreement.

Ophelia looked at Adam with a complicated expression. Finally, she made a decision in her heart. "I, I've decided to withdraw."

William narrowed his eyes. "Miss Ophelia, do you know what you're saying? You must know that the alliance will definitely not share its protection with outsiders under such circumstances. Or do you think that your Grand Knight's power is enough to fight against magical beasts? "

William definitely did not want to lose Ophelia's support. At this stage, the protection of a Grand Knight was crucial.

After making up her mind, Ophelia did not hesitate and replied, "Thank you for your concern." She then turned to the other four in the North and asked, "What about you guys?"

Corestal replied without hesitation, "I'll follow Miss." Between the unfamiliar William and the familiar Ophelia, she made her choice without hesitation. Moreover, she realized that the runes were not as difficult as she thought. It seemed that she could grasp it quickly?

Sam Eden and the others had a good relationship and had always been on the same side. In the face of Ophelia's question, he hesitated for a moment and then said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Miss Ophelia, we …"

Ophelia understood and did not say much. She walked to Adam's side with Corestal. She did not make such a decision on impulse. Her intuition told her that with Adam's talent, he might have already mastered magic. If she could obtain Adam's protection, she would be much safer.

Ophelia did not attend the nobles' party. She was cold by nature and did not think highly of the nobles. Therefore, for the past two months, she had been practicing magic alone or with Corestal. However, because of her talent, her progress was not very great.

She did not have any good ideas. If she directly asked Adam for help, she would definitely be rejected. If she had something that Adam was interested in, it would be best if she could trade with him. However, she did not have any at the moment. After thinking about it, she could only follow Adam for now.

After Adam walked to the side, he no longer paid attention to what had just happened. He was thinking about magic. Although the rune group of the Fireball spell was left in his mind, it was not engraved, but simply stayed there. In other words, this spell was a one-time use. After this use, it would need to be reconstructed the next time.

High-level energy like magic could only stay on the rune group. No, it should be said that the rune group would only be attached to the rune group after the caster activated it. During this process, the caster could observe the magic but could not absorb it.

"If I'm not wrong, among these three runes, one is used to guide magic, one is used to increase the temperature, and the last one is used to activate it."

Magic aside, the rune group was equivalent to a "technological black box." Although the caster could use it relatively conveniently, they knew almost nothing about the principles and knowledge that it applied.

Adam tried to draw one of the runes, but it did not work. There must be some kind of knowledge that connected the three runes.

While thinking, Adam activated the spell. The appearance of the Fireball spell was no different from the one that was activated by Sam Eden's magic item. Even the temperature was very similar. The only difference was that the speed of activation was much faster, almost instantaneous.

A blazing fireball appeared out of thin air. Unlike the one in the magic ring, Adam could control this fireball to a certain extent. For example, now, under the guidance of Adam's mental power, the fireball floated up and down about a meter in front of him.

"As expected, Adam has mastered magic," Ophelia said.

"Adam is so good. I have to work hard too," Corestal said.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! "William Alfred said.

"So fast? Did we make the wrong choice? "Sam and the other two said.

At a thousand degrees Celsius, Adam's body, which had not been baptized by magic, could not withstand the heat for a long time. At this moment, his mental power detected a high-energy reaction from the sea to the southeast.

Adam controlled the fireball and shot it towards the coordinates. At the same time, 44% of the threads were running at full speed, constantly building the Fireball spell.

A water arrow was shot out from the sea and met the fireball in midair. The collision of water and fire produced a huge amount of steam. The collision of magic power in the steam produced fine explosions one after another. In the end, the fireball won by a little, but it did not have enough power to do any damage to the big fish that rushed out of the sea.

"Is this a magical beast?" Adam instantly retreated to the center of the deck. If the magical beast attacked from the sea, the position just now was too dangerous.

"Magical beast! The magical beast is here! " William exploded. After seeing the monster with his own eyes, his confidence in the organization and the so-called power of unity had dropped to the freezing point. Even the organizer, William, could not help but retreat to the center of the crowd. Hearing from his father was one thing, seeing it with his own eyes was another. Now, he was very doubtful about how long a few magic items and a group of useless people could last.

Especially when they saw pitch-black silhouettes floating up from the sea.

At this moment, everyone understood what Mage Black meant. Countless magical beasts appeared around the Moldova College. They were mostly in the form of aquatic creatures, but they were much bigger than their original forms. The cold-blooded eyes of these creatures were more terrifying than any murderous intent.

The only thing that comforted everyone was that the Moldova College did not slow down. It was still sailing towards the Magus Continent at the same speed. Any magical beast that dared to block the ship's path was mercilessly crushed to pieces by a mysterious force.

Ophelia and Corestal moved closer to Adam, but Adam ignored them. It was their freedom to stand where they wanted to, and it was his right to not help them.

William was a man of character. After the initial panic, he forced himself to calm down and began to give orders loudly. He also distributed the extra magic items he had to a few talented people. He had to invest his resources in the best stock, so that he could reap the benefits quickly.

The big fish that shot the water arrow earlier opened its mouth and roared silently. All the magical beasts rushed out of the sea, ready to attack.

"Magical beasts are not creatures without intelligence. They have a certain degree of intelligence. They can communicate using ultrasonic waves and listen to orders."

"This is not good news."
