Chapter 401

William became an official mage earlier than Eliot and Corestal.

After reaching the critical point, he did not choose to participate in the war trial. Instead, he directly became a mage and left the Moldova Tower.

The world of mages was too big.

He advanced step by step according to the steps left by his predecessors. Without his own research results or special talents, he was like an invisible person lost in the world.

When he was an apprentice, he felt that a mage was very powerful. But when he became a level one mage, he realized that he did not have a sense of existence in the world of mages. He could not find his own place.

He thought of returning to Madeira Island in a cowardly manner. He had even been wandering around the Port of Karachi for a month.

Until he saw the recruitment notice of the Duncan Financial Group. He became a low-level person in charge of one of the financial group's businesses in the Port of Karachi. He received a fixed salary every week in exchange for meager resources and expensive knowledge. He struggled to improve himself.

His ambition was quickly eroded in the face of cruel reality. He thought that he could only live like this for the rest of his life. But he did not expect that a change would come.

"You and the new Hyperdimensional Mage Adam, directly under the Holy Tower, know each other, right?"

"Find him, contact him, and show him our goodwill. If you can convince him, you will receive a huge amount of resources. I guarantee that you will be able to become a Hyperdimensional Mage."

This was the guarantee given by Duncan, a level eight Freedom Hyperdimensional mage.

"This is called the Academy Continent. What do you think I want to do?"

Adam said in a strange tone. He did not expect the Freedom Faction to test him so directly. Did they think that an unimportant acquaintance would be able to influence him? Or did they …

"Master, this is very obvious. They don't care about you at all. They think that you are just a puppet and a mouthpiece. They called William here just to show their attitude. For example, no matter what the Parliament wants to do, they have to agree and give them benefits. " Garfield was very clear about these twists and turns. As soon as William opened his mouth, he knew what he meant.

After hearing Adam's answer, William took a deep breath and raised his head to look into Adam's eyes. "Adam, you know that's not what I want to know." Merit, he urgently needed merit. He felt that if he could find out Adam's true purpose, his position in the consortium would definitely skyrocket.

Adam didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't understand why William's tone was so matter-of-fact. He immediately lost interest in continuing the conversation with William. He summoned Garfield and pointed at William.

The ten centimeter tall Garfield crossed his arms in front of his chest and sat cross-legged in the air. He said to William, "Since you've asked, you should know that this information isn't something you can understand. Moreover, you don't have the right to speak to my master like this. Even the person behind you doesn't have the right to do so."

William's expression froze. The temperature around him suddenly rose and a red flame suddenly ignited. He ignored Garfield and continued to say to Adam, "Adam, don't be stubborn. You don't know how powerful the forces behind me are. You won't have a good ending if you defy them. Tell me, I can help you …"

Garfield mercilessly interrupted him. "Don't be arrogant. You and the people behind you aren't as important as you think."

Veins popped out on William's exposed skin. He clenched his fists and said loudly, "Adam, I'm your friend. I …"

Friend?

When did the word friend become so cheap? How could someone who clearly wanted to use him call himself his friend? Adam thought dully. At the same time, he snapped his fingers. William's agitated expression immediately calmed down. Then, he walked out of the room with lifeless eyes. He walked out of the Academy City and didn't wake up until he was far away.

After William was driven away, Avril's guardian said to Adam, "The first one who couldn't hold back was Duncan. This doesn't seem like his character. It seems that he's much more well-informed than we thought."

Adam asked, "Is the Duncan Financial Group very strong?"

"Very strong. It's one of the strongest mage groups in the Third Holy Tower. Duncan used to be a senior exploration mage. Later, after a mission, he left the Holy Tower and became a freelance mage."

Did he lose the courage to resist after seeing the strength of the enemy?

Adam thought as he informed the guard under the tower to bring Victor The Mage in.

The conversation with Victor The Mage was much more relaxed. The mage knew Adam's attitude after seeing William leave in a daze. He routinely handed the Rex Financial Group's olive branch to Adam, not caring whether Adam accepted it or not. After a few words, he happily left the tower, leaving only an apple on the table.

It was the kind of apple that Moldo Hyperdimension never left her hand.

Isha stepped forward and picked up the apple. She used the special magic of the Third Holy Tower to check if it was harmful. Then she handed it to Adam, "There's some information in it. Moldo, a very interesting person."

Adam took a bite of the apple, and his consciousness instantly entered the gray special space. Moldo Hyperdimension's figure appeared in his mind, and she said in a very fast tone, "You're in danger now. All the financial groups and freelance mages in the Sixth Holy Tower will constantly test you. Once they are sure that you can't be used by them, they will never let you continue to grow …"

After a while, Adam destroyed the apple from the material plane and murmured, "What a clumsy method."

In three months, there was an endless stream of visitors to the tower. Every one of them was a mage representing a financial group. They were either kind, tough, or arrogant. No matter what kind of attitude they had, their message was the same: "Obey us and serve our interests. Otherwise, you won't have a good ending."

Adam thought it was ridiculous. He simply let Garfield transform into his appearance to deal with them in the tower, while he seized the time to complete the initial layout of the Academy Land.

This batch of construction bypassed the forces that were completely controlled by the financial groups. The land planning was basically completed. With the Academy City as the center point, a city would be built every five hundred thousand square kilometers, and a large city would be built every ten million square kilometers. The roads were well-connected, and ordinary communicators would be distributed free of charge to all the mortals in the area. When the preliminary census was completed, Adam issued an official order — in every city, at least two basic education colleges would be built, and all the teachers would be robots.

After the order was issued, it caused a huge uproar. The financial groups could not sit idly by. They controlled the mortals in their forces to gather in the Academy City, requesting for the right to teach freely.
