21. Conflict (2)
"Adam. ”
Tonight, after five fireballs, the name has a unique magic on the Moldor Academy, and in the hearts of everyone Adam has been equated with power, they can ignore Ophelia, but they can't help but ask Adam's opinion.
Tom didn't dare to speak, a despicable little person like him had his own way of survival, and he could tend to be attached to the strong, but he would never challenge an opponent who was not on the same level at all.
Adam has been watching for a long time, he actually doesn't care about the ownership of a magical beast, he is very interested in the ugly faces of human beings when it comes to their own interests, whether it is Ophelia, Quentin, or Tom, each face is like a group of symbolic information, constantly filling in the gap in his understanding of human nature.
After finishing speaking, Krystel staggered to Adam's side, originally wanting to ask Adam to come forward to administer justice, but after seeing Adam's expressionless face again, he suddenly didn't dare to speak.
There was an awkward silence on the deck.
William hid behind the crowd by himself, he had already made up his mind, at least there would be no conflict with Adam on this ship, Tom is a stupid lackey, since he is looking for death, he has no interest in saving it, and William thinks that Adam will not deal with Tom, after all, this is a bit of a loss of identity, but I don't know how Adam will deal with Quentin and Randy.
But what happened in the next second was beyond everyone's expectations.
Adam threw a fireball at Tom's head very directly, blowing him to pieces, and then naturally walked to the front to pick up the monster corpse and walked back to the side of the deck.
The apprentices were stunned, they were dumbfounded and didn't know what expressions to use to face what had just happened, and right in front of them, one apprentice simply killed another apprentice without hesitation.
Adam walked back to his place expecting their reaction, and did so for two reasons. First, although Adam couldn't tell whether the Mage Continent was an orderly civilized world or a disordered primitive world, at least on this ship, the four mages were acquiescing to fighting, even if it touched life. The second is that Adam was curious about how creatures like humans would react when meat eaters trampled on their common beliefs.
Will it give in or resist?
It took about a minute for everyone to realize what had just happened, and their expressions changed from sluggishness to fear in an instant.
"Murdered!"
"How dare you! How dare you do this!"
"We are all mage apprentices, we have the same identity, why do you dare to kill another apprentice like this, the mage will not let you go!"
Very strange reaction. Adam thought.
When the Warcraft killed their companions, although they also felt panicked, they were definitely not so angry, it seemed that in their eyes, it was natural for the Warcraft to kill people, and it was unforgivable for people to kill.
"Adam, you've gone too far. Randy yelled.
"You have to give an explanation to the other apprentices, we can't tolerate a person among the apprentices who wantonly kills their fellows, and you have to pay for your actions. Quentin stepped forward, stared at Adam with both eyes, and said righteously.
Ophelia and Cristal were also sluggish, and Ophelia, even in her rage, didn't think about killing Tom, at least not on this ship. The reason why Krystel asked Adam for help was just to get some support.
None of them thought that Adam would kill someone.
"No feelings, not the same kind. ”
Ophelia once again remembered the words of her father, Earl Johnson, which had never been so clear as it was now, and it made her shudder.
For Adam, it was an experiment, and he now had to follow the procedure to proceed, so he replied, "What explanation do you want?"
Quentin's breath froze, and he suddenly didn't know how to continue, yes, what explanation do you want? If Adam wants to pay for Tom's life?
What to do?
A cold sweat ran down Quentin's forehead, and he felt as if he had done something stupid, and he placed himself on the fire to roast it.
Adam is not satisfied, the subject is not cooperative, how can he continue? He asks Randy, "Where am I excessive?"
Randy said, "We're on the same boat, we're going to study in the same academy in the future, Tom is just a little offensive in words and deeds, how can you just kill him like that?"
Adam was dissatisfied, these people, after regaining their senses after the initial shock, were thinking and thinking towards themselves, and it was true that their companions were dying by their side, but they could not take revenge on Adam for the sake of others, and the words of condemnation were now full of loopholes and concessions.
Is this cowardice universal or is it just in these people?
Adam shook his head and walked towards the cabin, and sure enough, no one, including Randy and Quentin, dared to stand in front of him, and Adam returned to the cabin without incident. It wasn't until Adam's figure disappeared from the deck that the others dared to whisper Adam's cruelty and show a fearless appearance in front of his companions.
After a while, they also seemed to feel that this was very boring, so they all fell silent in embarrassment, and each carried the corpse of the demonic beast, except for the corpse of the body refining demonic beast, no one dared to touch it.
Kristel suddenly felt that her deep environment and the people around her were so strange, she had found Adam indifferent, but she never expected that this teenager would be so disregard for life, which was very subversive for her.
Ophelia, however, sighed, confused and didn't know what to think.
On the first floor of the cabin, the mages were in their rooms, and the feasts never stopped, and fresh food was served. Mages don't need sleep as a low-level means of recovery, and with the total amount of mental power they have, they can stay full without using magic.
Mage Erin seemed to be drunk, she lay lazily on the table, supported her head with one hand, held the wine glass in the other, and said softly: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, the little guy actually dared to kill someone, did he guess that we wouldn't care?"
"That's not the point, he doesn't seem to be killing for resources, he just needs to kill to do this? It's dangerous, this apprentice named Adam. If he kills them all, you'll have to pay for my share. Master Jerome teased at Master Black.
Mage Black agreed, "Of course." Then he said: "It's really a very strange style, killing people just for the sake of killing? I can't figure it out, I don't seem to have heard of such a thing? But it should be okay, I don't think he will kill everyone." ”
Adam really doesn't do this, because there is no point, it needs to be experimented on a group, it does not mean that every individual in the group is a test subject, just find a sample, Tom just happens to be the right person.
The voyage continued, there were more and more Warcraft, and there were fewer and fewer apprentices, and in the second half of the month, the mage completely closed the cabin, and the apprentices needed twenty-four hours (why is the Otherworld also twenty-four hours a day?), because this setting is too cumbersome to change. Tense your mind and face the monsters that are coming at any time.
Only six survived, three Adams, William, Quentin, and Randy.
Mastering the fireball technique is the foundation, and those who can't even do this are the first to die, followed by instantaneous fireballs, and two fireballs in an instant. In this case, if you don't progress, you will die.
It had become their instinct to outline the Spiritual Power Solidification Rune and the Spell Rune Group, and these two tasks were carried out all the time.
As Adam expected, the closer you get to the Mage Continent, the higher the quantity and quality of the Demonic Beasts, and now the low-level Demonic Beasts have disappeared, and every Demonic Beast that rushes to the deck will use magic or have the combat power of a far superior knight.
But the most terrifying thing is an ugly beast that uses poison gas, it only appeared once, and that time it took half of the apprentice's life, William and the others finally realized that the weak alliance was meaningless in the mage world, so the childish and boring organization completely fell apart.
Adam's situation is a bit special, including Ophelia, no one wants to get too close to him, but whenever the monster attacks, they also spontaneously focus on Adam, especially when Adam's twenty fireballs are fired at the same time, and the poisonous monster is bombed into scum in an instant.
Adam sat directly across from the Fireball Rune Group, he didn't look the same for a month, there were no scars on his body, there was no tiredness on his face, and the days of danger were no different from normal for him, but the constant repetition of the monster made him a little dissatisfied.
No matter how ugly this thing is, the essence of the carbon base has not changed, which means that for Adam, only the different magic used by the monster has a record meaning, but nearly a month has passed, and there is still no new, more powerful magic in front of him, and Adam has had enough of it.
As soon as he thought of it, Adam instantly inspired the fifteen sisters' fireball, and a group of five slammed into the rune group that had been hanging in the air, and the rune group shattered in response, and dissipated invisibly with the crisp sound of jingling.
Just now, Krystal was alone on the other side of the deck looking into the distance, when suddenly she noticed a different color on the misty sea in the distance, she turned around and ran over and shouted in surprise: "Mage Continent!
However, she noticed that everyone was looking at Adam, and Krystere shrunk his neck and stopped talking.
It wasn't until Adam picked up the mass fragments in the rune group that William asked, "Is this the reason for the monster's attack?
When Adam's hand touched the fragment, the mental power quickly interacted with it, and the magic began to condense at a speed far beyond the usual, and Adam hurriedly restrained himself, which avoided the ridiculous ending of his soul being blown up by the magic power.
"Well, that's right. I already knew. ”
