Chapter 22

"Yes, that's right. I've known about it for a long time. "Adam casually admitted this fact.

However, this sentence immediately ignited the emotions of the others.

"Since you knew about it, why didn't you stop it earlier? So many people, so many people have died!" Kristel covered her mouth and sobbed. When she heard the news and saw the Sorcerer's Continent, the girl, who was on the verge of collapse due to the constant deaths that happened in front of her for the past few days, finally exploded. She suddenly felt that she had been an idiot for the past month, being toyed with by others.

The others retreated at the same time and surrounded Adam. This time, Adam's actions had crossed the bottom line in their hearts and they could no longer tolerate it.

Adam observed their reactions and felt that it was very interesting, so he opened his mouth and said a lot for the first time, "You guys seem to think that it's natural for me to be considerate of you?"

Quentin said angrily, "Considerate of us? What nonsense are you talking about? There are only six of us left now and you only ended the Beast Tide now. Ha, is it because no one can die for you? You despicable person. "

Adam was not angry. "I've never asked anyone to die for me."

Quentin was so angry that he laughed. "Then how do you think you've survived until now? Without everyone's help, just by yourself? "

"You're wrong. Me surviving until now has nothing to do with you guys. On the other hand, you can stand here and talk to me like this instead of becoming a corpse and being eaten by magical beasts because of my help, "Adam said without holding back.

Hearing this, Quentin's face flushed red and he did not know what to say. He roared angrily and looked at the others.

Adam ignored him and continued, "You should learn to be responsible for yourself and not push the responsibility to others. I have the ability to survive, so I can decide my own way, but I have no obligation to care about what you think. "

Quentin could not take it anymore. He condensed a fireball and wanted to fight Adam to the death. Randy reacted quickly and neutralized the magic. For some reason, he felt that Adam was right.

"Quentin, forget it. Let's go." Randy and Quentin had a good relationship. He could not watch Quentin and Adam clash head-on, especially when they were no match for her even if they worked together.

"No, stop!"

"Be careful!"

No one had expected Adam to retaliate and even use his killer move. A total of ten fireballs. If they hit Randy and Quentin, there would be nothing left of them. However, there was nothing they could do. Their casting speed and numbers were not enough to offset Adam's spells.

Quentin and Randy turned pale. They smelled a familiar scent. It was the scent of death, and this time, it was much stronger than before. They had even closed their eyes. Their hearts were filled with sorrow. They had finally made it here, right before the Continent of Mages. But now, they were going to die. They were going to die at the hands of their "companions."

At this moment, a water curtain descended from the sky and blocked in front of Randy and Quentin. The water curtain looked like a thin layer, but it had an unimaginable defense. The ten fireballs were easily extinguished like sparks.

Then, Mage Irene suddenly appeared on the deck. No one could see how she moved. It was as if she had been there all along.

"Oh, there are only six of them left? I can't watch you kill the two of them. "

"Nice to meet you, honorable Mage Irene." The six of them bowed together. Quentin and Randy, who had survived the disaster, looked at Mage Irene with gratitude. Then, they stared at Adam with a vicious gaze.

Adam felt strange. The values of humans were really strange. They did not expect that it was the mage's decision that caused everyone's deaths. Instead, they put all the blame on Adam.

"What is this called? Bullying the weak and fearing the strong? Or choosing the lesser of two evils? "Adam thought.

"Honorable Mage Irene, I request that Adam be punished. He …" Quentin could not wait to complain, like a funny clown.

Mage Irene glanced at him and frowned slightly. "Oh, enough." After that, she ignored Quentin. She crossed out Quentin in her heart. This kind of attitude could not survive in the mage world.

"Adam, you're good. Since you knew that there was something wrong with the runic group, why did you only shatter it now? Tell me the answer, and those Secondary Ether Crystals will belong to you. " Mage Irene smiled and asked Adam. Now, Adam was only an apprentice, while Irene was already a mage. There was a huge difference between the two of them. However, Irene was almost certain that as long as Adam did not die prematurely, he would definitely become an official mage.

So, her attitude was good.

"First, this flaw is too obvious. I don't think a mage's wisdom would leave such an obvious flaw. "

Mage Irene nodded. "That's right. If you had shattered it at the beginning, what awaited you would be a harsher test. For example, you would have to swim to the Mage Continent." Mage Irene covered her mouth and laughed. She seemed to find that scene very interesting.

"Of course, except for Adam. People with wisdom will always be treated well."

"Second, this is very interesting. It's an experience I've never had before. I can gather a lot of new information and knowledge from it. Especially since it's not dangerous for me."

Mage Irene nodded as she listened. To a mage, the value of lower life forms was reflected in whether they were useful to a mage. As for the life and death of the lower life forms, no one cared. She found Adam more and more interesting. Other than the difference in their life forms and power, his way of thinking was similar to a mage's.

Ophelia and the others listened with chills. Even though they had expected that the so-called academy life would not be as peaceful and interesting as before, now that they heard the conversation between the 'mages', they could not help but feel regret and fear. They doubted whether they could adapt to that kind of life.

Mage Irene said, "Interesting. They belong to you now." Then she clapped her hands. "Well, little ones, let me tell you a piece of good news. From today onwards, you can return to the cabin and enjoy life. The Moldova College will arrive at the port of Karachi in the Mage Continent in three days. After that, we can use the short-distance teleportation circle to reach the Moldo Mage Academy. You will soon start a new life."

This was obviously the best news. The tense nerves of the apprentices suddenly relaxed. For a moment, all the strength in their body disappeared without a trace. They almost collapsed to the ground. Now, no one cared about their image. Everyone was greedily breathing in the so-called safe air.

A month of high-intensity battles. A month of death every moment. They did not have a moment to rest. Even if their spiritual power could replace sleep, the mental exhaustion could not be made up for.

This one month had left a heavy shadow in the hearts of the five apprentices except for Adam. That was the original sin of weakness. Everyone thirsted for power from the bottom of their hearts. They longed to control their own fate. At the very least, they could choose to live a stable life.

However, it was not without benefits. At least they were much more mature than before. They understood that being fortunate enough to embark on the path of a mage did not mean that they were lucky. Instead, they had to work harder to obtain knowledge and resources. They had to give it their all.

After Mage Irene finished speaking, she used the same incomprehensible method to leave. Obviously, saving Quentin and Randy was just a matter of convenience. Her original purpose should be to take away the few pieces of material called Secondary Ether Crystals. In other words, the days of fighting with the magical beasts should have ended today.

Adam's relationship with the other apprentices had really fallen to a freezing point. Ophelia and Corestal no longer traveled with him. William kept his distance. Quentin and Randy, on the other hand, did not hide their hatred. Adam thought that as long as there was a chance, these two would not hesitate to attack him.

Of course, they would not have the chance. Life was the foundation of Adam's pursuit of knowledge. Anything that threatened Adam's life, no matter what it was, should be destroyed.

Just before they attacked.

Adam became a forgotten person. In these three days, even Corestal was accepted. Ophelia also agreed to join the banquet. However, Adam was not invited.

The sailors appeared once again. They no longer looked at the apprentices with strange and mocking gazes. Instead, they were full of respect. The magical beasts were a trial. The apprentices who passed this trial had a status that far exceeded theirs. They had to respect them. Otherwise, they would have to pay with their lives.

In these three days, other than eating, Adam did not walk out of his room. He continued to optimize the Spiritual Power Solidification Rune and study the Secondary Ether Crystals.

This was a type of high-energy crystal. To the apprentices, it should be something very important.

The Secondary Ether Crystals were not of low purity. Instead, it was more suitable for the apprentices. As long as they held a shard in their hand, they could turn into a cannon and continuously use spells without stopping until the energy in the crystal was depleted.

"No wonder Mage Black said that the energy veins were only the lowest level of resources. It seems that among the apprentices and mages, the Ether Crystals are the most valuable energy."

Adam stopped his experiments and put away the three shards. These shards were not that valuable, but it was enough to provide a great help to the apprentices at the beginning.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. With a loud whistle, Adam arrived on the deck. Many ships had suddenly appeared beside the Moldo Academy. It must be known that Adam had never seen a single ship passing by them in the past three months. It was only when they arrived at the port that they saw them. This made one sigh in amazement at how vast this ocean was.

"The continent where the mages live, the city where the mages live." Everyone was looking forward to this long voyage. Countless lives had been sacrificed in order to set foot on this miraculous land. They all wanted to be the first to see it.

The four mages came to the deck at the same time. Even though they did not need to breathe, they were still intoxicated by the air of the Mage Continent.

Mage Black said softly, "This is a suitable place to live, isn't it?"

At the same time, Corestal, who was at the front of the deck, cheered, "I see it! I see it! The Mage Continent is amazing!"
