Chapter 52

After seeing what the primer was, some people's hopes were dashed. Eliot actually asked everyone to reach out a hand, and he personally held a type of magic potion in each person's hand.

They originally thought that the primer was some kind of item, and wanted to throw it away after entering the trial, but it was obviously impossible now.

After finishing his work, Eliot said, "This primer will emit a special smell to attract magical beasts. It's effective for a month, and you can try to remove it. This is allowed by the trial rules. Of course, whether you can do it or not is up to you."

After that, Eliot followed Adam sneakily, as if waiting for Adam to take the initiative to beg him. When they were almost at the bottom of the laboratory, Adam still did not make a sound. Eliot could not help but ask, "Adam, you don't want me to help you remove the primer?"

Adam looked at him and shook his head. "No need."

Eliot was disappointed. The academy allowed apprentices to use their own abilities to remove the mark, but this did not include asking for help. Eliot wanted to wait for Adam to ask him and then play a trick on Adam, but now it was over.

The Devil cackled at the side. "Childish human, how could the great master fall for this trick?"

Adam did not need it, but some people had ideas about Adam.

They more or less knew that Adam and Eliot had a good relationship, but Adam's "fierce" reputation made them not dare to directly ask Adam for help. They could only express their intentions through William.

So when Adam returned to the laboratory, William came up to him and stammered, "Adam, there's something …"

Adam was filling his portable space with food, water, and a certain amount of energy stones. Hearing this, he looked at William and said, "If you have something to say, say it."

William felt that it was a little difficult to say, and also felt that there was little hope, but he still said, "There are some apprentices in the academy who want to ask for your help to get rid of the primer from Mr. Eliot."

Adam looked at William strangely. "Including you?"

William hurriedly waved his hand. "No, no, no. I don't think it's possible either. It's just that I can't stand their request …"

Adam looked away and said calmly, "Fortunately, you're not too stupid. But that's impossible. "

William felt that this answer was within his expectations, but he couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Adam sighed. He felt that he needed some new people in his lab. "With the wisdom of the sorcerers, it is impossible for them to leave such a loophole. They allow the apprentices to rely on their own ability to remove the mark. What is their own ability?" Adam pointed at his brain. "It is wisdom, not relationships."

"But isn't networking also a kind of ability?"

Adam couldn't be bothered to say anything, but James kindly explained, "William, I don't think you understand the meaning of the trial."

William turned to look at James.

"The purpose of this trial is to get rid of the unintelligent apprentices and eliminate those who are just here to make up the numbers."

William seemed to understand.

"A sorcerer is a profession that pursues energy and explores the truth. If one's own wisdom is not enough, what's the use of networking? The academy doesn't train politicians. "

William nodded awkwardly and didn't mention this matter again. As for how he explained it to the people who begged him, it was none of their business.

Adam packed up his things and suddenly remembered that he didn't see the other two apprentices from the deserted island, so he asked William, "Aren't Corestal and Ophelia participating in the trial?"

William was stunned. He didn't expect Adam to ask this, but he just happened to know. "Corestal has become Mage Black's disciple, so she doesn't need to participate in the trial. As for Ophelia, I heard that she's in a lab, but I'm not too sure. "

The Devil suddenly jumped out and asked nosily, "Who are they? Are they girls? "

William nodded.

"Haha, could it be master's …"

William looked speechlessly at the Devil who was smacked by the Psychokinetic Palm and didn't know what to say …

.....

The next morning, under the guidance of the senior apprentices, the rookies once again came to the teleportation hall. They walked into the teleportation circle with different feelings. This time, many people were destined to fail and be eliminated, or die and be eaten. Some were even trembling in fear, but no matter what, they couldn't change their fate.

Adam had a very bad premonition. He knew that he wouldn't get any results if he asked for help from a sorcerer, and they weren't allowed to bring high-level magic scrolls during the trial, but he had to think of a way to save himself. So he traded with the only sorcerer he knew, Blake, for basic teleportation magic knowledge. If he encountered an avenger, teleportation magic would buy him some precious time.

The feeling of teleportation was as uncomfortable as usual, but this time, Adam could use the Psychokinetic Barrier to resist the feeling. After a moment of daze, Adam found himself in a strange place.

The surroundings were damp and smelly, and the ground under his feet was soft and covered with rotten animals and plants. He could hear the sound of rushing water, and in front of him were secret scrolls and objects that blocked the sunlight. The Ether content in the air was slightly lower than in the academy, but the energy aura was very restless.

"Random teleportation?"

Adam quickly observed his surroundings and found that the others were no longer around. He was the only one here. The primer in his hand seemed to have reacted with a special potion because he had arrived at a predetermined location. It emitted a special smell that could be clearly smelled with his nose.

This was a tropical rainforest. On Earth, this kind of area was known for its diversity and danger. Explorers would often die in this place, and in the high-magic environment of the Mage Plane, it was simply unimaginable what kind of strange magical beasts there would be.

In this environment, Adam was very cautious. Psychokinetic Barrier was activated without reservation, and a transparent and colorless energy shield surrounded Adam's body. He didn't even let his feet touch the ground, but hovered at a low altitude of ten centimeters above the ground.

The trees here were too tall, and who knew how many creatures were hidden in the dense branches and leaves. Adam didn't want to fly too high, so he didn't want to become a target.

In fact, he also knew that flying height didn't mean much, but at least he was closer to the ground and had more room to maneuver.

Although Adam could tell the direction, it didn't matter. This was a trial ground, and there would be no exit.

He couldn't help but feel lucky that he had a portable space, so he didn't have to waste time looking for edible and drinkable food. God knows which plants in the rainforest weren't poisonous, and how poisonous the poisonous ones were.

Of course, the Devil was also very useful here. For example, Adam pointed at the deep darkness in front of him and ordered the Devil, "Let's go ahead and take a look."

In the material plane, apart from certain high-magic environments, devils weren't much of a threat to them, as they were sentient lifeforms. Pure physical attacks had no effect on them, which was the best choice for scouting. As for whether or not they would be killed by high-level magical beasts passing by, Adam didn't really care.

The Devil took the form of a girl and stroked her hair coquettishly at Adam. "Master, do you have the heart to let me go to such a terrible place?"

Adam looked at the Devil with his emotionless eyes. The Devil forced herself to look at him for a few seconds, and the girl image collapsed. She gave up and muttered, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go!"

Adam was in a relatively empty and dry space. After the Devil left, he focused on the catalyst in his hand. The feeling of being exposed was not good. Adam also wanted to get rid of the catalyst, but his knowledge of pharmaceutics was not rich enough. After a few minutes, he could only admit that he couldn't neutralize the effect of a special potion made through complicated procedures.

At this time, there was movement in the depths of the rainforest. Adam heard a lot of trees falling and the creaking of creatures crawling on the ground. He also heard the Devil shouting for help. "Master, help! Your most loyal servant is going to die! "

Adam frowned and cast an illumination spell. Then, even with his calmness, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes. The thing that was chasing after the Devil was a giant python that was at least 75 meters long. Its body was almost the same color as the rainforest. If it didn't move, anyone would think that it was a tree. At this time, its mouth was constantly spitting out transparent liquid, corroding everything it touched.

.....

On an unknown coast of the Sorcerer's Continent, a figure wrapped in a long robe stepped on land. His name was Peter Amu, Clark's grandfather.

Ever since he learned of Clark's death, he set off from a distant island, chasing after the aura of the Death Mark. He wanted to avenge his only grandson.

After an apprentice became an official sorcerer, the soul and body would undergo a comprehensive evolution, which was a leap in the level of life. This was of course a good thing, but unless an official sorcerer found a sorcerer partner with the same soul, it would be difficult for them to have children. Peter Amu's son had died long ago. He only had Clark as his grandson. In a family's power, the strength of the immediate family determined the right to speak in the faction. Clark had the talent to become an official sorcerer. His death was not only emotional but also a huge loss of benefits.

The Death Mark was a type of curse, and almost all curse spells were ineffective on official sorcerers. Clark's death was unacceptable, especially at the hands of an apprentice.

The Anti-Sorcerer's situation was actually very difficult. They didn't even dare to openly reveal the aura of an official sorcerer on the Sorcerer's Continent. They also didn't have the right to use the teleportation circle. Otherwise, not only would they attract the attention of mainstream sorcerers, they might even be killed by the guardians. So, Peter Amu could only wander around the Sorcerer's Continent like an ordinary apprentice.

He knew that Clark died within the jurisdiction of Moldo's Tower of Elements. He was the one who provided the location. However, he never thought that Clark would be killed. Although the Anti-Sorcerer was at a complete disadvantage in the official sorcerer stage, he wasn't weak in the apprentice stage.

"No matter who you are, no one can avoid paying the price after angering the Amu family …" Peter's face that was hidden under the long robe revealed a bloody smile. He quickly advanced in the direction indicated by the Death Mark.
