Actually, Ye Fan had never been to the headquarters of the Adept Association before.
Because he hadn't interacted with them before, even though he knew the location, he didn't go over to take a look.
Speaking of which, it wasn't easy to go over. First, they had to go to a seaside port in Indonesia, meet up with the people from the Adept Association, and then sail for half a day on their ship before they could reach a small island called "ILLUSION".
This island was just like its name, "illusion", "illusion". Adepts liked to call it "Neverland" because this island couldn't be found on the map.
At first, a powerful Adept, who was also the first president of the association, used his ability to gather sand and stones from the bottom of the sea. After forming an island, after many years of modification, he built it up.
In order to ensure that Adepts would not be disturbed by ordinary people here, the world's map would not be marked.
When Ye Fan brought Feng Xiaohui to the port, there was already a dark-skinned Asian man wearing a flowery shirt. He was holding a sign with Feng Xiaohui's name written on it, waiting there.
"Hello, are you waiting for us?" Ye Fan took the lead and walked over.
The man smiled warmly and extended his hand towards Ye Fan, "You are Feng Xiaohui?"
"No, I'm his brother-in-law, he's the one." Ye Fan introduced.
The man nodded in understanding, "My name is Hao Te, and I'm the crew member in charge of picking you up. Do you two want to board the ship together, or do you want Feng Xiaohui to go to Neverland Island alone?"
Ye Fan asked, "Can I follow you?"
"As long as you follow the rules of the island and don't take pictures or videos, it will be fine." Hao Te said with a smile.
Ye Fan indicated that he understood, and then boarded a small white boat with Feng Xiaohui.
Not long after, Ye Fan discovered a problem. The engine of the ship seemed to have a special structure.
"What kind of fuel does your ship use?" Ye Fan asked.
Hao Te seemed to be used to hearing this question, so he didn't explain much. He sat down beside the engine and reached out to grab a black metal handle.
Gradually, there was a wave of heat coming from him!
The propeller rumbled, and soon, the ship began to move!
"Thermal power generation?" Ye Fan immediately understood that this Hao Te was also an Adept. His hand could transmit a strong amount of heat, causing the modified engine to start.
Feng Xiaohui, who was at the side, also found it refreshing. He looked forward to entering the Adept Association even more.
"I can only let my body emit heat, but I can't release the heat too far. So, with my ability, I can only be a boatman, or fry an egg or something, haha …" Hao Te laughed at himself.
"You can't say that. If you are willing, I'm afraid that some of the anti-theft metal doors will be melted by you. You can also be a bandit if you want to." Ye Fan said.
Hao Te shook his head, "You must not think like that. Back then, because I robbed a bank, I was imprisoned for several years. I don't want to do that kind of thing now."
Ye Fan and Feng Xiaohui were speechless. So this brother had really been a thief before?
After traveling for about an hour, a small island appeared in front of them. From afar, the island looked like a pearl on the sea under the blue sky, beautiful and moving.
A tall giant statue stood in the small harbor of the island, its two huge legs just happened to clamp the harbor. From the looks of it, it had been a long time, and its attire was that of an ancient western figure.
"That's the first president. He made a sculpture for himself. Every time he enters or leaves the harbor, he will pass under his crotch." Hao Te helplessly introduced. It was obvious that he was the one who entered and exited the most frequently.
After the three of them landed on the island, Hao Te led the way to a small hill in the middle of the island. On top of the hill, there was a grayish-brown building. The tallest one was a circular tower that was forty to fifty meters tall. Moreover, there were no gaps in its entire body. It was obvious that it was built by an Adept, and not by a conventional method.
Ye Fan and Feng Xiaohui were both at the base camp of Adepts. As they walked in, they met a few Adepts who were working here.
An Adept dressed as a gardener had two arms and two legs that could actually stretch back and forth freely. He was like a giant, trimming a five meter tall tree without needing a ladder at all.
There was a woman who looked like a librarian. She was carrying books, but she didn't use her hands. Hundreds of books floated above her head, following her as she moved.
A white-haired old lady who was cleaning was blowing air with her mouth. With a casual blow, she blew away the sand and leaves on the path like a gust of wind. She didn't even need a broom.
When these Adepts saw Ye Fan and Feng Xiaohui, they would greet them in a friendly manner. It was obvious that they were used to visitors or new members coming to examine them.
"Brother-in-law, I'm not dreaming, right? Why does this look like a movie?" Feng Xiaohui murmured.
Ye Fan smiled, "Don't talk about you, I can't even see it..."
This was because the Adept Association advocated neutrality and was detached from any conflicts of interest. It was equivalent to a permanent neutral organization in the Underground World.
Therefore, when the Holy War was fought all over the world, Ye Fan didn't meet many Adepts.
Even if there were Adepts participating in the battle, they would still be separated from the association and would not be protected by the association.
Only then did Ye Fan realize that Adepts had such a wide variety of abilities. If the existence of these people were to be known to the public, it would definitely set off all sorts of strong waves. This was because to the public, these people only existed in movies and television and all sorts of fantasy novels.
"This is the member center. This is where we examine new members."
Hao Te brought the two of them into a single-story oval building. Inside was a long counter with an old man and a young man inside.
The old man looked to be in his seventies or eighties, and his hair was no different from a bald head. He held a bottle of vodka in his hand in broad daylight, and his nose was red. He had already fallen asleep on the counter.
He was wearing a dirty gray vest. He was thin, wrinkled, and sloppy. From the fact that he was still cursing in Russian in his sleep, one could tell where he came from.
The female receptionist looked like a person from Fu Sang. She looked to be in her thirties or forties. Her appearance was very ordinary, but she cared a lot about her image. She was touching up her makeup in front of a small mirror. The rouge on her face was very thick. The foundation was already very thick, but she was still touching it up.
"Beggar, stop fixing your makeup. A new person has arrived. Register this Mr. Feng Xiaohui and begin the ability examination." Hao Te said.
The beggar woman from Fu Sang casually threw out a registration form, "Fill it in any language."
