Chapter 210 Meeting
Even though Phantom looked like an alluring beauty with a seductive figure, Greem knew that she was a master of illusions. Therefore, his brain consciously ignored her beauty when he looked at this female adept.
Who knew if she was hiding a fat, ugly body beneath that shell of seductiveness and beauty!
Greem could have used the unique penetrating ability of his elementium sight to look at Phantom’s true face. However, an invasive probe against an opponent of the same grade was undoubtedly offensive, and was very likely to invite hostility from the opponent.
Whenever there were other adepts around him, Greem would consciously shut off his active probing abilities, only allowing the chip to do passive auxiliary information gathering.
Furthermore, the reason Greem recognized her as a female adept rather than a witch was because the term ‘witch’ was a very specific term in the world of adepts. ‘Witch’ referred to those female adepts who possessed ancient legacies. A witch was most definitely a female adept, but a female adept was not necessarily a witch.
Adept Phantom, who stood before him, walked down the path of an orthodox elementium adept. She had absolutely nothing to do with the bunch of witches that lived on the northern side of the Continent of Adepts.
There were many adepts who specialized in illusion. However, most of them were better in an support role. Not many of them were suited for the bloody battlefield. After all, any adept would be embarrassed to go out if they didn’t at least have an illusion-breaking staff or spirit concentration necklace on them. With the common usage of such auxiliary tools, the combat ability of adepts that specialized in illusions naturally took a severe blow.
“If my judgement is not incorrect, Sir Fügen captured a live radiant knight previously. Surely we must have obtained plenty of internal secrets from his mind.”
Adept Hyde’s body twitched oddly in the distance. His mechanical eye glowed with a bright red shine as he once again earnestly assessed Greem.
“I do not have the authority to reveal internal information from the base.”
“If I cannot directly obtain knowledge on the merging of energies, I wish to know how I may obtain such knowledge. In other words, I wish to know who else on the Continent of Knights possesses complete knowledge on merging. Of course, it is best if it’s someone I can deal with!”
“You are truly an adept with foresight! If I’m not wrong, putting aside valuable resources, the most valuable thing on this plane is their runic knowledge. Lord Sarubo has classified the energy fusion knowledge you are requesting as a Class Three strategic resource. It’s impossible for it to be handed to you. As for the people here who possess the knowledge you seek– even though they have not been classified as supervised figures, you will need to hunt them on your own. I can only provide a list of individuals!”
“That is enough! I accept these conditions.”
The next second, a magical contract woven from Spirits appeared in Greem’s mind.
The chip dutifully completed a detailed scan of this contract. After eliminating all logical, linguistic and magical loopholes in the contract, the chip presented a detailed contract to Greem. Greem had a quick look, and having verified that there was no distinction from the contents they had just discussed, cautiously left his magic emblem on the contract.
It took another seven minutes before Adept Hyde signed contracts with the remaining adepts. Everyone started to become more friendly with the contract now in place.
To ease cooperation later, Adept Hyde had everyone do a basic introduction of their magical abilities. Adept Hyde was naturally the first, as he had to encourage everyone else to speak.
“Hyde, mechanical adept, specializing in close quarters combat. Magic abilities roughly includes Energy Lightsaber and Awl of Slaughter… ”
The second to speak was Thunderbird.
“Thunderbird, elementium adept, specializing in lightning magic. Currently possess the spells Lightning Storm, Lightning Blast, and Lightning Teleportation… ”
“Marionette, bloodline adept, specializing in plant modifications. Mastered spells include Puppet Strings and Substitute of Wood… ”
“Evil Bugs, bloodline adept, specializing in bug-body modification. Mastered spells include Bug Manipulation, Splitting Attack, and Damage Sharing… ”
“Phantom, elementium adept, specializing in illusions. Mastered spells include Realm of Dreams and Spell of Dream Departure… ”
“Flame Demon, elementium adept, specializing in fire magic. Mastered spells include Flame Fiend Transformation and Ring of Fire… ”
“Bloody Mary, bloodline adept, specializing in blood magic. Mastered spells include Bat Demon Transformation and Bloodsucking… ”
“Demon Shadows, elementium adept, specializing in curses… ”
Naturally, no one would reveal all their cards in such a situation. Thus, the introductions of their spells and magic were incomplete. However, given that Adept Hyde had gathered everyone here, he most definitely had some kind of understanding as to everyone’s abilities.
Everyone kept silent and listened to Hyde describe his hunting plan in detail!
