144. The trial is over
After a moment of distraction, Adam and the devil arrived at the headquarters hidden in the folds of space, and when they looked inside, they realized that it was actually a huge airship.
Adam found a random spot to stand still, looking at the island of Ceylon through the portholes and the huge split-screen light curtain.
Unrecognizable and devastated.
These are the two most apt adjectives Adam could think of, the large crater made by the super electromagnetic cannon is clearly visible to the naked eye, and in the light curtain, the walls of the city are ruined, and there is no trace of life in the forest and wilderness.
The trial apprentices were like a natural disaster, plundering the island of Ceylon to the point of ecocide.
Adam still remembered that the mages above the third level in the various forces of the anti-mages were not eliminated, but were imprisoned, but he didn't know how they would feel when they came back and saw their homes become like this.
Portals appeared on the airship one after another, one by one trial apprentices, or new mages came out of it, no one could maintain their dignity, although the energy of promotion made them full of energy, but the tattered and bloodstained clothes showed what kind of terrible battles they had experienced.
Probably the friendship or conflict that arose from cooperative combat, the surviving trialists stood in distinct places, they saw Adam, but none of them came towards him.
"One, two, three... Master, these thirty-six people have all been promoted, only you are still a mage apprentice!" The energy field on the new mage made the devil very uncomfortable, and it controlled Garfield's huge body and tried to hide behind Adam, which was very funny.
Adam sees the twins in the crowd, and Hayley seems to want to come over to talk, but is stopped by Shirley.
Adam glanced at it and didn't care, he found that everyone except him had really advanced, he held the active seal crystal, and he didn't know if whether the promotion or not had an impact on the trial evaluation.
"Sister, Adam is there, why are you stopping me?" asked Hayley, puzzled at Shirley.
Shirley has a little headache, her sister is protected by her so well, that her heart is like a child, and she doesn't understand the world, and now everyone knows that Adam is the 'culprit' that caused the trial track to deviate significantly, and the trial team of nearly 1,000 people finally only passed through more than 30 people, and a large number of companions and friends failed to die, to some extent, this is Adam's reason, he has been isolated, and expressing kindness at this time will undoubtedly make them also outliers.
Heterogeneity usually doesn't get any better.
Shirley's voice sounded directly in Hailey's head: "Don't move, now is not the time." ”
Adam indeed' Notorious', among the people of the War Alliance, Lilith glanced at Adam with complicated eyes, while the rest were cold and hostile, their trial mission that should have been smooth sailing became ups and downs, thirty-two absolute elites, and there were less than twenty people left who have survived until now, they should have all passed the trial and obtained the support of the rest of the apprentices, so as to continue to absorb the elites, and then expand this momentum like a snowball, so as to obtain greater benefits, but because of Adam, not only did they plan to go bankrupt, but their prestige was also lost。
"Forget it, the trial is over, and we can't do anything about him. Lilith whispered.
"He's just an apprentice, I can duel him and kill him in a head-on fight!" said one unconvinced.
"That's right, scum who only hides behind the scenes and uses despicable means..."
"Huh. Lilith sighed silently, disappointed in the group of companions, they still didn't realize the gap between them and Adam, so many people together were still toyed with between applause, as losers, why should they despise the methods of successful people?
Lilith was a little tired: "Did you see the activation seal he was wearing, crystallized, and you should know very well what that thing meant," she paused and finally said, "As long as he wants, he can become a mage at any time, are you really sure to kill him?"
Everyone looked at each other, and the idea of a duel faded, but the dissatisfaction in their hearts gradually deepened.
The devil could not compare with Adam's sensitivity to emotions, and he looked at them with a wry mind, and said to Adam in his heart, "Master, they seem to be looking for trouble with you. ”
Before Adam could reply, a coercion descended on the airship, suppressing all the energy fields that everyone had escaped, and then the figures of several mages suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"Only thirty-seven people have completed the trial? This is the smallest in a thousand years. As soon as the mage's words fell, the dissatisfaction that everyone had managed to suppress suddenly erupted, and several people took a step forward and pointed at Adam to open their mouths to accuse something, but the mage waved his hand back and blocked all the sounds.
"Well, I don't want to hear any accusations, we all watched your performance in the trials, and no one has violated the rules set by the Holy Tower, which means that everyone's merits are justified. The mage's voice was slightly mocking, "You have to learn the way of thinking as a mage, a mage never puts the blame on others, and being promoted to a mage through trials means that you are an adult, a little more mature, and shirking and complaining will only make you appear more naïve and incompetent." ”
Although everyone couldn't speak, they were obviously not convinced by their expressions.
"Merit can be traded, and the Holy Tower does not prohibit trading, but none of you thought of it," everyone's faces turned pale, and the mage stretched out his finger and pointed to his head, "Intelligence and talent allow you to acquire knowledge and give birth to power faster than the rest, but having power does not mean that you can become arrogant, don't be swayed by power, learn to think with wisdom." ”
"The next most important thing for you is to understand what wisdom is. ”
After the mage finished speaking, the ban was lifted, and several new mages silently retreated from the group. And Adam had been expressionless, and everything that had just happened, whether it was accusation or hostility, seemed irrelevant to him.
The mage didn't expect his casual words to be truly wise, they were just clichés to be said after every trial, but this time was especially appropriate.
"Now take control of your energy field, and we will go directly to the Fifth Elemental Holy Tower. With that, the mage activated the airship.
After a short period of acceleration, the space in front of the airship began to fluctuate steadily, a portal opened, and Adam's eyes went black, and when it lit up again, his surroundings were already filled with a vast elemental aura, and the airship was firmly anchored in the huge air port in the Holy Tower.
