Age of Adepts

World of Adepts, Fire Throne.

In the same utterly isolated room, Greem was silently reading the Libram of Wisdom.

He was on the seventh page already.

Every page he read had brought him indescribable benefits and tremendous gains.

Unfortunately, the Libram of Wisdom had a master!

Before he exterminated the God of Wisdom Hierro, he would not be able to fully take ownership of the Libram of Wisdom and uncover all its secrets. Thus, every time he attempted to read the Libram, it was a battle of wits and courage with his Spirit against the artifact.

If he won, he would be able to decipher plenty of high-grade knowledge fragments regarding the secrets of the planar world through the pages. Of course, the knowledge could also be related to divine magic, which he was still unable to use.

Greem estimated that the plague would erupt in full force three days from now!

When that happened, most of the trolls would die of the plague. Half of the casualties would turn into horrifying wights and start a bloody slaughter in the capital.

When that happened, Mary would likely lead her vampires and army of wights to invade the Feathered Serpent’s den.

This strategy indeed maximized her chances of victory!

Mary’s arrangement in this regard was already more than excellent. Even Greem himself could hardly improve on it. Thus, what he intended to do was to weaken the Feathered God through his powers.

That would be helping Mary indirectly!

Shadow Demon hid in the darkness, leaping from shadow to shadow, silently traveling within the troll capital. The higher up the mountain it got, the more excellent the equipment and clothes of the trolls.

The number of infected trolls also decreased in number as they climbed the mountain.

In fact, Greem even found plenty of boiling pots brewing some strange green concoction at the higher parts of the mountain. A pungent, herb smell emanated from these brews.

These primal brews might not be able to kill the plague viruses, but they could effectively halt their activity. It would reduce the plague’s infectiousness and explosiveness!

Hmph! It seems like these voodoo doctors were fairly capable. It’s time to reduce their numbers!

Greem murmured to himself and ordered Shadow Demon to leap between the shadows and search for the leaders amongst the voodoo doctors.

As expected, Greem found an old voodoo doctor leaning on his wooden staff in a small hut at the peak of the mountain.

The small hut was filled with the smell of blood and herbs. A dozen women had just walked out of the hut as quietly as they could. The severed heads of several magical beasts lay in a pile, the blood all drained from within, making for a vicious sight.

Meanwhile, the bodies of five apes lay beside the carnage, their throats sliced open and a hole torn in their chests. Their blood and hearts had been placed above the pile of disembodied heads as a sacrifice to the great Feathered God.

A bloody spear stood in the center of all the sacrifices, glowing with the prismatic light unique to high-grade weapons.

The old Voodoo Doctor Ye’ke had just concluded the blood sacrifice that had lasted for one day and one night. He was lying on the ground, completely exhausted. He took out several pungent herb biscuits from the jar beside him along with several tattooed scorpions and put them in his mouth. He chewed them thoroughly and swallowed.

Shadow Demon had just entered the hut when the bloody spear trembled out of nowhere. It let out a crisp and clear hum.

Ye’ke looked around him in surprise. His murky eyeballs scanned the room but found no signs of intruders.

Was it an error on the divine spear’s part? It wasn’t very likely!

After all, the bloody spear was a Fourth Grade divine spear personally bestowed by the Feathered God. It possessed unimaginable power. As such, Ye’ke had never dared to ignore its warnings.

It was said that the invaders could turn into a strange red bat and scout in that form. Could they have arrived here?

Ye’ke snorted coldly. He pulled a wooden doll from his belt and threw it to the ground. Black smoke rose around him as a giant mosquito appeared.

The mosquito was the size of a human head. Its stinger and its legs gleamed with a metallic glint unique to metal weapons.

“Go, kill all foreign lifeforms in this hut!”
