Chapter 484 Of Monster and Man

Time flew by in a flash

Sixty-seven years

Any ordinary huone just like that However, for adepts who had a fundamental lifespan up to two or three hundred years, this was no more than one-quarter of their lives, or even less

Those who haddown the path of bloodline mutations, or elementiumized bodies, even had lifespans up to four or five hundred years Vampires like Mary could reach a thousand years easily

The same Fire Throne, the sa within had undergone a e

Horus

An advanced apprentice belonging to Fire Throne

He had a pale and sure, and alore a gray short apprentice's robe draped on his body

As an outsider, he had been recoo That staying adept was also his only relative in this world

Unfortunately, that adept hadn't succeeded in returning from an invitation to a mysterious adventure Thus, the Horus who had lost the only person he could rely on had no choice but to lead a lonely life in this strange, yet foreign, adept's tower

Fortunately for him, the owner of this toise and compassionate While he looked a little sinister, he had created an excellent and relaxed living and learning environment for the apprentices of the tower Perhaps it was due to hi adept, but Horus even ed to obtain an excellent job as a librarian

This way, Horus was able to easily obtain a ical crystals and ten contribution points, without needing to take risks and go into the Black Forest with h for him to lead a peaceful life inside the tower!

There were approxiht individuals in a similar position as him inside Fire Throne Most of theo who decided to treat this tower as their home

It was a pity, but their excessively peaceful lives also slowed down the speed at which they learned new spells and mastered incantations Consequently, most of them were stuck at the advanced apprentice level; they hadn't improved in many years

There were many times when Horus couldn't help but wonder to himself if he should abandon this sort of tranquil life and follow in the footsteps of those combat apprentices Perhaps he should follow the mercenaries deep into the Black Forest and refine his coical creatures

Only one pseudo-adept had successfully advanced to adept in the past ten years, and that person had become the ninth stationed adept of Fire Throne On the other hand, there were as many as three pseudo-adepts who died in their advancement ceremonies Horus had only attended two of their funerals The third one's family lived too far away from the tower Horus also had duties in the tower Consequently, he couldn't send off his companion in person

That was also the main reason for Horus' depressed mood over the past sixto adepts had never been high It was good enough for one out of every four or five to advance to adept

Fire Throne, on the other hand, had ed to maintain a rate of one adept advance number if it were announced to the public!

Currently, Fire Throne had nine stationed adepts and twelve staying adepts This number was sufficient to overshadow more than half of the adept's towers in the center of the continent

The numerous adepts also drew many apprentices to come to the tower

The current Fire Throne had a total of two hundred and fifteen apprentice adepts, seventeen of which were pseudo-adepts, seventy-eight of which were advanced apprentices, and the rest ere beginner and intermediate apprentices

As the number of adepts was plentiful and all of theic, ical courses had been set up in the tower A master's lecture open to the public would be held every two or three days

These masters were all powerful adepts who had reached enviable achievements in a specific field For example, the melee-expert female adept Mary talked about the offensive techniques of a co poisons, lectured about voodoo poison and toxin y The gentle and beautiful fe spells The ical mechanical constructs

Horus, on the other hand, was extremely lucky He was able to have close contact with all of the tower adepts He was indeed able to see the power of adepts

However, so Horus recently

Adept Eva, who had been responsible for teaching ical botany, had suddenly stopped all her lessons She had called off several planned public lectures and vanished without a trace That undoubtedly caused several students ere taking her classes to take note

Horus was one of the for a few days Perhaps I should inquire about Adept Eva's situation the next tiently organized the library
