Age of Adepts

This is a strange city full of fiery creatures.

Flame creatures are not good at building and casting, so most of the city buildings are caves dug in the dark red rock walls, connected by winding passages in the middle. In order to accommodate the huge size of most flame creatures, the ceiling of the cave here is very high, and the passageway is also spacious enough.

Just like most human cities, this flame city also has buildings such as hotels, taverns, grocery stores, secret magic shops, auction houses, etc. However, those who preside over and manage these venues are not necessarily flame creatures born and raised on the Fire Elemental Plane.

Greem got mixed up in the crowd of people, walked around this city of flames, which was only three or four miles from north to south, and where all the shops in total were only twenty or thirty, and unexpectedly discovered A material shop run by a wizard.

Tok material OK!

Looking at the shop name written in wizard script outside the simple cave, Greem's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help walking in.

This is a very simple cave with an area of ​​only one or two hundred square meters. Rows of stone slabs have been carved out of the walls in the circle of the store, and some strange and inexplicable items are displayed on it. But without exception, they are all imbued with strong flame power.

A listless little Huoling sprawled on the counter, and when he saw a customer coming, he slowly stood up and looked at Greem.

Judging from its appearance, it seems that it has the strength of a senior apprentice.

Greem, of course, still had the appearance of that tall, Tier 1 fire spirit. His red hot flame body slowly dragged a tail of fire, and slowly walked into the shop.

The moment Little Huoling stood up, a gleam of joy first appeared on his nimble, fox-like humanoid face. After seeing the appearance of Greem's fire spirit clearly, the excitement and enthusiasm that had just risen fell again, and he returned to his original listless appearance again.

"I don't know whether you want to buy something or buy something? If you want to sell something, I'm afraid the store is not very convenient these days. If you want to buy something, all the things in the store are displayed here, you can Pick your own..."

This set of rhetoric seems to be something it has memorized by heart, and it babbled a lot in one mouth. However, Greem's attention did not focus on the flame material it introduced, but pondered over the change in the expression of Little Fire Spirit the moment he saw him.

The moment it saw a customer coming to the door, it showed joy, which is also 'human nature' and understandable. But after seeing Greem Fire Spirit's appearance clearly, its joy faded away again, as if it wasn't happy for the customer's visit.

There seems to be something weird in it!

Greem scanned the small shop with his gaze, and suddenly found several unknown items with witchcraft runes etched on their surfaces. Judging from these signs, it is certain that this small shop has some relationship with wizards.

"You...are...the shopkeeper?" Greem's incarnation of Fire Spirit asked in a slow tone.

The language of the Fire Elemental Plane is an ancient and long-standing indigenous language. It has a very rare vocabulary and an unusually weird accent. It is almost difficult for non-experienced plane travelers to master it.

As a level 2 wizard, Greem naturally doesn't have this problem.

The part of knowledge related to language can be easily extracted from the soul fragments of indigenous creatures by using the "spiritualization technique". As for the unique tone of the flame creature, it can also be simulated by modifying the internal structure of the flame avatar.

Therefore, Greem spent more time observing and imitating local native creatures in addition to absorbing the essence of fire to improve his affinity for fire.

Regarding Greem's incarnation of Fire Spirit, the other party didn't have any doubts, but shrugged helplessly.

"This shop doesn't belong to me, I'm just a helper hired by a human wizard. We... the shop owner... was captured by the lord. It's been several months, and we haven't been released yet..."

Greem's heart trembled when he heard the words, and he immediately did something wrong.

To be honest, since entering the Fire Elemental Plane, although all the flame creatures that I have seen have the appearance of wisdom, they still look clumsy, a little sluggish, and not flexible enough. Originally, I thought that the Tier 3 Flame Tiger I met earlier was a special case, but now it seems that I really underestimated that Flame Lord.

The other party captured the wizard who opened the shop, but did not order the shop to close. Obviously, this was a plan to catch fish with a net. I'm afraid that every guy who enters this shop will inevitably be strictly interrogated by the flame lord's subordinates.

Although his disguise is very realistic, if he is caught and investigated by the other party, he will definitely show his feet.

At this moment, Greem, relying on his keen perception, was able to detect that seven or eight powerful flame figures were rapidly approaching the shop.

"Is there a back door to this shop?" Greem grabbed Little Huoling and asked urgently.

"Yes, in the back..." The little fire spirit was startled, the tender little flame hand had not yet pointed to the position, the tall fire spirit in front of him had already turned into a flame, flashed through the narrow small door, and disappeared Inside the winding stone road.

The fire spirit incarnated by Greem had just disappeared, and a heat wave raged inside the store, and a large group of vicious lava giants rushed in from outside.

"Where's that big guy who came in just now?"

"Tell me, where is it?

"explain……""

Several lava giants with a height of five or six meters surrounded the little fire spirit who was only one and a half meters tall, roaring with deafening and violent voices.

This little fire spirit who only had the strength of a senior apprentice almost collapsed on the ground in fright, and pointed to the back of the shop with his little finger tremblingly.

Immediately, without saying a word, several lava firemen overturned the obstructing counter all the way, knocked open the stone door that was only half the width of their bodies, and quickly chased them out.

Greem quickly walked through the alley behind the shop. While walking, the tall flame body quickly twisted and deformed. When he came to the entrance of the alley and merged into the "flow of people" coming and going, his body had changed from the previous 5 meters to 3 meters, and even many details of his face and appearance appeared. Some minor changes.

If the other party looked for him according to his previous appearance, it would be absolutely impossible to suspect him, a slightly 'thin' Tier 1 Fire Spirit.

What's more, fire spirits, flame spirits, and fire elementals are the most common forms of flame creatures on the elemental plane of fire. On the entire street, almost half of the flame creatures wore the same humanoid form of burning flames as Greem, at most there were slight differences in some details.

However, such a difference is not an indigenous creature of this plane, it is almost difficult to detect!

And Greem has dissected and scanned the body structure and shape of many low-level fire elements and fire spirits in these days, coupled with the subtle energy control of the chip, it is possible to comprehensively and subtly analyze the fire spirits that have been encountered before. To copy it out.

Dong dong dong, footsteps sounded, several lava giants ran out from the alley, grabbed a fire spirit who was closest to them, pulled them to their eyes and examined them carefully for a long time.

Fire creatures are mostly violent and feral, with little discipline at all.

This Tier 1 Fire Spirit was suddenly attacked. Although he knew he was no match for the lava giants in front of him, flames still surged all over his body angrily, and a stream of high-temperature flames swept towards the opponent.

The head of the lava giant showed a ferocious smile on his rough and tough face, grabbed the fire spirit and threw it viciously to the ground. With just one blow, the fire spirit's flame body was smashed to pieces. After more than a dozen fingers, the fire spirit re-condensed the body of flames and re-wrapped the core.

"According to Lord Artes's orders, spies from outside the realm have sneaked into the Dustfire Canyon recently. Now, all the fire spirits will follow me to the Lord's Hall to verify their identities. If anyone dares to resist, this guy will be your fate!" The lava giant stood up straight, stepped on the unlucky fire spirit, and announced loudly in all directions.

Hearing such an order, the flaming city, which had been peaceful just now, exploded and boiled in an instant.

The fire elementals are all violent, how can they bear such a bird's temper. They waved their arms at the lava giants angrily one by one, and some of the grumpy ones even started to condense burning fireballs in their palms, as if they would fight if they disagreed with each other.

When the entire street was in chaos, Greem also got mixed up with the raging fire spirits, and took the lead in throwing elemental fireballs at the 6-meter-tall, solid Tier 2 lava giant. The next moment, hundreds of fireballs of various shapes roared and smashed towards each other.

The expressions of those lava giants instantly changed.

My dear, so many fireballs! Although the individual power is not very strong, but such a number of fireballs are superimposed together, and the power of the explosion is not too small. Even lava giants like them with solid flames and a body of steel dare not bear it calmly.

Several lava giants immediately hugged together, squatted down, and protected the more fragile body parts with their solid lava backs.

bang bang bang...

After the loud bang like an earth-shattering, a small mushroom cloud slowly rose from where the lava giant was entrenched, and then a fiery flame shock wave swept away in all directions in a ring.

At this moment, the entire city of flames couldn't help trembling slightly!

"Bold! Resisting the lord's orders is rebellion. Come on, take them all back to prison..." With a loud roar, the lava giants who were in charge of guarding and guarding all over the city rushed out one after another. The fort launched an attack on every fire spirit within sight.

The whole city instantly became a mess!
