* Xiu! Xiu! *
Two silhouettes passed through the black soil and arrived at a completely unfamiliar forest of obelisks. They landed on a stone platform at the edge of the forest.
Closing her eyes, Claytia faintly sensed for a moment before facing Glenn and saying, "I haven't sensed any sorcerer-apprentices with more than 300 points in this area in the vicinity. We should explore deeper."
"Yes."
Under the Ashen Mask, Grimm responded and then brought Claytia towards the center of the forest of obelisks. At this moment, Grimm had a huge axe on his back. It was also a top-notch magic tool for Sorcerer-Apprentices. Although Grimm wasn't too comfortable using it, he could only put up with it for the time being.
Seeing a few Sorcerer-Apprentices here and there, Grimm confirmed that this was the territory of the 13th District. He frowned and said, "After flying for so long, I still haven't sensed any Sorcerer-Apprentices with more points?"
Claytia shook her head with an unsightly expression.
Feeling somewhat flabbergasted, Grimm simply flew in the direction of a few Sorcerer-Apprentices with less than 100 points in the distance. Everyone on the other side maintained a state of vigilance. A female Sorcerer-Apprentice was the only one among them with a mark over 50. She wore a beautiful wreath on her head, her skin was somewhat dark, and she was leaning on an old wooden magic staff.
"It's another strong person from another district!"
When this female Sorcerer-Apprentice saw the mark on Claytia's forehead, she cried out in alarm. She tightly grasped the badge in one hand and activated her magic staff with the other. Only, this hand was somewhat trembling, as if she was recalling something frightening.
Grimm maintained his distance and waved his hand. After doing his best to indicate that he didn't have any hostility, he asked, "Where are the strong people from your district?"
Hearing Grimm say this, the few 13th District Sorcerer-Apprentices slightly relaxed. The female Sorcerer-Apprentice cautiously stared at Grimm and bitterly said, "Where are there still any strong people? Originally, on the first day of the secret plane's opening, the 13th District's strongest Sorcerer-Apprentices had already gathered together. According to the agreement, they were divided into two factions to launch a decisive battle and settle the grudges of those years. But … "
Speaking up to this point, the female Sorcerer-Apprentice seemed to recall something dreadful, and said in a trembling voice, "However, on the second day of entering the Secret Mirror, a 15th District Sorcerer-Apprentice appeared here, and moreover, he caught all the Sorcerer-Apprentices who were in a stalemate in the decisive battle. Apart from the nine strongest Seal Awakeners, many other acolytes didn't even have the time to crush their badges before they turned into a bloody mist … "
The strongest nine Sorcerers acolytes?
It was impossible for there to be nine Legendary Sorcerer-Apprentices. From the looks of it, this area should not have produced any Legendary Sorcerer-Apprentices in the past 100 years. Moreover, the overall strength of this area was on the weak side, far weaker than District 12.
Claudia was overwhelmed with shock as she said, "Sir Grimm, this student from the 15th district, isn't he the one you previously speculated …"
Grimm nodded and said with certainty, "Who else could it be besides Hill Woods? It's no wonder that on the third day, when the points of Sorcerer-Apprentices were still so scattered, that fellow was unexpectedly able to plunder so many points. It turns out that on the second day, he caught all the strong students of the 13th in one fell swoop. "
The 13th District Sorcerer-Apprentice on the opposite side hurriedly explained, "It's not like what you think. It's not that our 13th didn't have any power to resist. It's only because those strong students had already carried out a series of great battles that …"
Of course, Grimm understood the opposite side's meaning.
However, regarding a 13th District that didn't have Legendary Sorcerer-Apprentices like Ice Age Mille and Primal Curse Althio, even if they didn't exhaust their magic power at that time, as long as they had enough time, it would only be a matter of time before they were all driven out of the secret plane by Hill Woods or even killed.
After all, Hill Woods was a fellow who was stronger than the average Legendary Sorcerer-Apprentice and a monster in the mouth of the Sun's Child.
Claudia sighed and muttered, "I really regret that I didn't go see that Hill Woods's elegant demeanor because of my fear. The entire Holy Tower Tryouts actually caused two districts to tremble in fear because of him."
Saying this, Claudia looked at Grimm with a teasing smile and changed the subject. "However … to be able to suppress and even exterminate that kind of monster, Sir Grimm's strength is truly unfathomable. That said, the points of these two districts will soon be in Sir Grimm's hands. Moreover, with the addition of the 12th district's points, I'm afraid that the peak reward of the entire Holy Tower Tryouts will already belong to no one but Sir Grimm, right? "
Facing Claudia's flattery, Grimm only glanced at her indifferently under the Ashen Mask and coldly said, "It's still better to have absolute certainty. Just like what my mentor said, if you want to fight for the peak reward, the safest and safest method is to drive all competitors out of the Secret Plane! "
Claudia opened her mouth. Clearly, she knew that Grimm wanted to thoroughly sweep away all competitors in the five districts. She sighed and said, "Sigh, then we'll have to properly walk around this district for two days. Because there aren't any high-level Sorcerer-Apprentices to 'clean up and tidy up', the points are still scattered. You see, even these weak and puny Sorcerer-Apprentices haven't left the Secret Plane. "
Grimm glanced at the several nervous Sorcerer-Apprentices opposite him and shook his head. He had no interest in these few points and directly flew off into the distance.
Claudia smiled at the several Sorcerer-Apprentices. Her charming and alluring style immediately caused the expressions of several male Sorcerer-Apprentices to slightly change, but they immediately concealed it one after another. They only felt that Claudia's laughter unceasingly lingered beside their ears, and that graceful and graceful figure always replayed before their eyes.
After the time of three hourglasses.
After Grimm and Claudia were bored enough to expel nine Sorcerer-Apprentices with only around 300 to 400 points, Claudia pointed in a direction and said, "Hey, there's a Sorcerer-Apprentice with a mark of around 600 points 4,000 meters away."
"Huh?"
Grimm was flabbergasted and said, "Is it a fish that escaped the net under Hill Woods? Of those Sorcerer-Apprentices we just dealt with, the strongest one was only at the lower end of the 12th District's Top Ten Experts. If it was in the 12th District, perhaps they wouldn't even have collected 300 points by now. "
Claudia said, "It's very possible. Right now, this district simply doesn't have any decent strong people. A Sorcerer-Apprentice at the second level of the Top Ten Experts is enough to dominate this 13th District. Oh, that's right, I once heard my mentor say that several decades ago, there were two Sorcerer-Academies in the 13th District that went to war with other Sorcerer-Academies. The result was that the two Sorcerer-Academies in the 13th District were defeated, and even their Sorcerer Towers were razed to the ground. "
Sorcerer Towers razed to the ground!
A look of alarm appeared in Grimm's eyes. Other Sorcerer-Apprentices might not know, but Grimm knew that the Sorcerer Tower was one of the main sources of power for Level Four and above Stigmata Sorcerers! Without the amplification of the Sorcerer Tower, a Level Six Stigmata Sorcerer might not even be a match for a Level Four Holy Tower Sorcerer.
Of course, Grimm wasn't very clear about the specific degree of energy amplification, but through Mentor Norris's research, it should be quite a lot.
Looking at it this way, there was a reason why the 13th District was in such a decline.
It was very likely that the Stigmata Sorcerers in that district had a conflict with the Stigmata Sorcerers in other districts, which then led to a real Academy War in the Sorcerer World. Then, following the defeat of the two Sorcerer-Academies in the 13th District and the complete razing of the Sorcerer Towers, this year's Sorcerer-Apprentices also declined as a whole.
Without the guidance of a mentor, how could a Sorcerer-Apprentice rely on their own wisdom to become a legendary Sorcerer-Apprentice?
It was too difficult …
With a sigh, it seemed that even among the Stigmata Sorcerers, there was absolutely no harmonious relationship. The competitive relationship between Sorcerers was definitely guided by a higher consciousness. And this guiding stratum was very likely the true ruler of the Sorcerer World, the Holy Tower Celestial Sorcerer.
As for the reason …
In his heart, Grimm had already faintly guessed some of the true meaning and determination of this kind of guidance through the secret of the Sorcerer World that Norris had told him. In his heart, he was determined to obtain the peak reward of this Holy Tower Tryouts, but at the same time, that indescribable pain emerged once again.
The Sorcerer World, would there really be a day in the future like what Mentor had said …
"What's wrong with you?" Claytia asked in astonishment.
Grimm indifferently said, "Nothing. Let's go, to the location of the target. "
Following Grimm's departure, Claytia also didn't know what Grimm was thinking, but she also didn't care too much. In any case, her points had already exceeded 2000. According to Claytia's calculations, even if she left the Secret Mirror, 1000 points was already enough to qualify as a reserve Demon-Hunter Sorcerer.
Moreover … the circumstances of this year's Holy Tower Tryouts seemed to be somewhat different!
If Grimm were to continue sweeping like this and expel so many powerful sorcerer-apprentices from the Secret Mirror, she was afraid that at the same time that the points were concentrated on Grimm, the other sorcerer-apprentices who became Demon-Hunter Sorcerers would have pitifully few points. This would also cause the number of points that qualified to become a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer to be lower than in previous years.
After continuously sweeping for two days, Grimm and Claytia similarly left the 13th District and once again flew towards the next stone pillar forest.
The remaining two districts should both be areas of normal development …
Presently, five days had already passed. According to normal circumstances, if there were legendary sorcerer-apprentices in those two districts, they should have already finished accumulating the basic mark points in their own districts. Then, the next step would be to prepare to explore the other districts.
Grimm must hurry and go to the next district. Otherwise, if he were to diverge from the legendary sorcerer-apprentices in that district, he would have to waste a bit more effort.
As for the legendary sorcerer-apprentices in the last district, it was very likely that they would diverge from Grimm and head towards a different district.
