Chapter 405 The Tower
The three major Adept powers.
The Northern Witches of the North Coast, the Silver Union of the West Coast, and the Adept’s Association of the East Coast!
They each had their respective knowledge legacies, culture, and traditions. They were extremely private organizations.
Whenever people mentioned the Northern Witches, the first thing that came to mind would be their ferocity!
Tremendous ferocity!
If it weren’t for this bold and reckless nature of theirs, how would a group of witches have been able to expand and establish themselves in the resource-starved lands of the north? How were they able to ensure the continuing legacy of the witches for tens of thousands of years?
A crimson tower stood silently in the middle of the massive cave. The body of the tower was built with volcanic rocks, and the inside of the tower was filled with rich fire energy, causing the tower itself to radiate a faint red light.
If Greem wasn’t mistaken, the lava well itself had likely been assimilated into part of the tower’s foundation. The energy room was also connected to the sea of lava beneath. That meant that this tower would never run out of energy.
At least, not fire energy!
A pair of adamantium doors slowly opened as they walked towards the tower. The three Silver Union adepts respectfully waited for Greem’s arrival.
The array master held a strange crystal glowing with rainbow lights in his hands.
“This is the control crystal of the tower’s core array. You need to use it to activate all the runic arrays in the adept’s tower. It is only then that the tower will be considered to have activated. Very well, you should go in alone to complete your soul verification!”
Excitement appeared on Greem’s handsome face. He silently nodded and took the strange crystal into his hands.
Hard and cool. Strange magical energies seemed to be swelling within the transparent crystal. Greem took a brief look at the gem and nodded at the three adepts to express his gratitude. He then slowly walked into the tower.
There were five levels to the tower. The first thing Greem saw when he entered was a massive arcane hall. It would be the public area of activity for the apprentice adepts in the future. Perhaps this place might be crowded and filled with magical facilities in the future, but for now, it was no more than an empty hall.
Greem saw a small library to the left of the hall. The apprentice dwellings were on the right. They consisted of a row of small stone rooms. Naturally, there was no furniture in there either.
The spiral staircase that led upwards was in the corner of the hall. The stairs hadn’t undergone elaborate treatment and polishing. The carved stairs and walls appeared to be somewhat crude and rough.
The entire layout of the tower had been projected into his mind when he held the control crystal in his hands. However, the elementium altar in the energy room had yet to be activated, and the core array had not connected to all the various runic arrays spread across the tower. Thus, the tower remained silent and incapable of responding to his commands.
Greem stepped onto the spiral staircase, and some unique runic passwords and handsigns appeared before his eyes. He needed to chant these words while making the proper handsigns to open the temporary passage to the warehouse and energy room in the basement.
Otherwise, this spiral staircase only led upwards.
It also meant that anyone without control authority would have no hope of intruding into the resource warehouse and the energy room!
Greem hesitated for a moment. He suppressed the desire to rush into the energy room and followed the stairs upwards towards the fourth floor, where the core array was located.
