Age of Adepts

Chapter 1058 - Method of Improving Bloodlines



The methods by which elementium adepts and bloodline adepts improved were entirely different.

Elementium adepts almost never considered refining their physical body. Instead, they prioritized the collection of elementium magic knowledge and the construction of spell models. They were more concerned about the affinity and harmony between their Spirit and magical elementium.

Elementium adepts believed that they only needed to maintain their physical attributes at a sufficiently useful level.

They would also find ways to improve and adapt their bodies, but it would be sufficient for their Physique to be able to resist the harsh environments of the various planes out there. The rest of their resources were mostly assigned to the improvement and cultivation of their Spirit.

Of course, the collection of magical equipment, tools, and spells models was also necessary!

Moreover, the conversion of collected magical knowledge into power, the understanding and improvement of spell models, the cultivation of Spirit, and the crafting of magical equipment were activities that demanded a considerable amount of resources and time.

As such, adepts never had enough time!

Northern Lands, White Tower.

Vanessa, who had dressed herself up as a young human girl, slowly walked down the corridor with a large stack of magical tomes in her arms. She smiled and nodded at all the adepts and apprentices she ran into along the way.

As one of the fairly well-known mechanical witches of White Tower, Vanessa had taken on several lectures for the apprentices. She was in charge of ‘The Origin of Mechanical Magic’ and ‘Research on Magical Energy Substitutes.’

After thirty years of hard work, Vanessa had also cultivated several qualified adepts. She was gentle and far more approachable than most other adepts, making him a lecturer admired and respected by most adept apprentices.

As such, most adepts and apprentices in White Tower looked past her identity as the goblin princess and fully treated her as a human adept.

Vanessa had a gentle and pleasant smile on her face, which was forged from a unique magical alloy. She kept the smile on her face until she disappeared into her room.

As the doors of her room close shut, the sweet smile on her face faded without a trace. It became the cold, expressionless metal face that she always had.

Two goblin machinist sorcerers wearing the uniform of the Brutalblood Army were waiting for her inside her room.

The two machinist sorcerer hastily walked forward when they saw Vanessa return. They leaned to her ear and started whispering.

“What? You said Greem personally summoned Tigule for an audience?”

“Yes, princess. My man saw it with his own eyes. Fire Throne might be on lockdown, but anyone that enters or exits Fire Throne will have to pass by Pinecone City. That is why I arranged men in Pinecone City a long time ago. My subordinate personally saw Lord Tigule pass by Pinecone City to Fire Throne. He stayed there for half a day before leaving.”

“Who else did Greem summon for an audience apart from Greem?”

“Greem met with Snorlax before Tigule, but Snorlax has not been seen leaving Fire Throne yet. Bug Adept Billis also had an audience after Lord Tigule left!”

“What is he thinking about? Shouldn’t he be busy absorbing the origin substance right now? Why would he have time to have an audience with Snorlax, Tigule, and Billis? If I’m not wrong, it has already been over twenty years since he last had an audience with them!”

“Yes. It is because we cannot determine his intentions in summoning Lord Tigule that our master has asked us to come here to ask you what to do next. Should we put our plan on hold and decide after we have ascertained his intentions?” The two goblin machinists sorcerers couldn’t help but further lower their voice when they spoke of the ‘plan.’ They even looked around them, seemingly nervous and in a panic.

“No, the plan cannot be put on hold. It must continue forward. I have already completed my arrangements in White Tower. Once we destroy that teleportation array, the people you have planted in the City of Machines must act as soon as possible. Apart from wind Adept Deserra, the rest of the stationed adepts in the City of Machines will not be much of a problem. You only need to keep them occupied while having others destroy the teleportation array, and our plan will have succeeded.”

“But…but Lord Gonga, Lord Locke, and the others are all still in the World of Adepts! Should we destroy the teleportation arrays, they won’t be able to return to the Goblin Plane any more!”

“Hmph, those traitors. They no longer think of themselves as goblins anymore. Why should we give them any consideration? Leave them here in the Crimson Clan to bear the brunt of their fury!”

Only these few influential individuals had risen to power in the goblin faction in the past hundred years of the adepts’ rule. Abandoning them in the World of Adepts would thoroughly break the hearts of all the goblins.

However, the reality was as the princess had said. These people no longer thought of themselves as part of the goblins. If they were involved in this plan, it was possible that this great operation that they had planned for several decades would be exposed.

At the thought of this, the two goblin machinist-sorcerers looked at each other and let out a helpless sigh.
