Chapter 195 Returning to the Base
In the adepts’ base.
A group of adepts were gathered in one corner of the base. Their heads were raised, silently gazing at the black dot constantly circling far away on the horizon.
Beside them, an extremely large illusion barrier hid the entire valley, causing it to blend into the woods around it. From the skies, one couldn’t tell anything was odd with the scene.
Meanwhile, behind them the entire adepts’ base was as busy as an enormous construction site. Countless robotics beasts, voodoo beasts, and elementium golems were busy working, while the outline of an adept’s tower was slowly appearing.
A nine-level adept’s tower that stood two-hundred meters tall was supposed to be erected here, according to the original plan. As compared to the mid-tier adept’s tower in the World of Adepts, this tower would prioritize defense and offense, while the non-combat facilities within would be greatly reduced.
Such an adept’s tower might not be very comfortable to live in, but when the World of Adepts wanted to rapidly expand outward, it was a necessary war fortress. Every time adepts arrived in a foreign plane, the first thing to do was to construct such a simplified war tower.
Once they built the tower, the adepts who had entered the plane would be free from the planar laws’ oppression within the adept tower’s radius. This created a beneficial battle environment for the adepts on their home territory.
The only reason the Third Grade dragon knight would choose Second Grade dragons as their partners was because they had absolutely no means to beat these Second Grade dragons that had thick hides, could fly, and spit their saliva all over the place!
Yet the four adepts before him, with two of them being rookies that had barely advanced for a half a year, together managed to beat a Second Grade green dragon to the brink of death? It sounded unbelievable. But judging from the clues, it seems this was the only thing that could the dragon knight’s odd actions previously!
It was undoubtedly important to search for the witcher-knights in the forest, but it was far more important that his companion’s partner had been beaten to the brink of death back in their home base– so important that he had no choice but to rush back to Herdurand City.
After thorough deliberation, Fügen could only choose to believe them.
But with this happening, it was hard to predict how the following events would unfold!
First, they exterminated a witcher-knight vanguard army composed of a hundred men. Now, such a bold assault happened in Herdurand. If the opponents were not able to figure out that the invaders they sought were hiding nearby, they would be a group of complete morons!
Cutting off the legs of a Third Grade dragon knight was indeed fairly good news, but this came at the price of the enemy possibly arriving earlier. Whether this was for better or worse was very debatable.
Sir Fügen didn’t dare let these few people out to Blue Hillock City anymore. He had finally recognized that this couple of adepts were not people that abided by conventional rules. If he let them out, they would surely create another huge commotion in a few days. With a bitter smile on his face, he could only keep them in the base.
Greem and the other three, on the other hand, had also obtained spoils of war from Herdurand City. They needed a safe, quiet place to digest and turn them into part of their strength. And so they easily agreed to stay. Mary, in particular, could be said to be the one that benefited the most out of the four.
Vampires would always be busy chasing after the blood of the powerful!
Keoghan, Ferrier, and Greem had at best obtained some green dragon flesh and blood as excellent crafting materials. But Mary could directly convert the consumed dragon blood into blood energy to increase the limits of her power. This terrifying ability was the scariest trait of the vampires!
And so, Mary went into seclusion the moment they returned to the adept’s base!
This was the third time Mary had gone into seclusion. For Mary, each solitude was a chance to massively increase her power!
