Three days later.
Grimm, who was gradually flying away from the living sea, looked at the towering majestic mountain range in the distance. His body trembled in shock.
From the foot of the mountain to below the clouds, ninety percent of this mountain range was covered in pure white snow. Even though Glenn and Peranos were flying at an altitude of three hundred meters, they were still only in the lower layer of this towering and majestic mountain range that was not covered in white snow.
In front of this truly majestic mountain range, any mountain range that Grimm had ever seen was just a small hill. At this moment, looking from the sky, Grimm and Peranos, the two little ants, were "slowly" flying toward the mountain range.
This mountain range had an average height of at least 10,000 meters per year, and it had suddenly appeared on the flat land!
Hmm?
Suddenly, Grimm found that among the tall and dense weeds on the ground, huge skeletons of primitive sea creatures began to appear in his field of vision. The bones had been weathered and corroded. They looked so fragile and white, but they seemed to bear and pour out some unknown ancient history.
The skeletons of these sea creatures varied in size and shape, some big and some small.
Generally speaking, only the skeletons of giant creatures with a body length of 20 to 30 meters would appear from the covered soil and weeds. Occasionally, the skeletons of smaller sea creatures similar to sirens could be seen in the relatively short weeds or in the soil eroded by the rain.
As Peranos and Grimm crossed the sky at high speed, they constantly approached the towering majestic mountain range in the distance. Gradually, the distribution of the skeletons of these sea creatures began to become dense, and even the skeletons of several giant sea creatures appeared to be piled up together.
Finally, when Glenn was only a dozen or so meters away from the majestic towering mountain range that pierced through the clouds …
Everywhere he looked, there was only a forest of white bones!
Eh?
Grimm let out a soft cry.
Because, as Peranos and Grimm got closer and closer to the towering mountain range in the distance, the remains of some giant metal puppets and densely packed human skeletons gradually began to appear in their field of vision. However, these metal puppets had long since become dilapidated with the passage of time. Some even began to show signs of corrosion, petrification, and desertification. As for the human skeletons, they could only be identified by those distinctive skulls.
Among these puppets, there were not only the worker-ant level puppets that Grimm had seen on the competition stage, but also the larger, more intricate and complex high-level puppets. There were even some mecha wreckage that Grimm had seen in books.
The so-called mecha was a huge armor made by a mechanical wizard outside of the body. It was very popular among mechanical wizards in Sky City.
Peranos suddenly stopped. They were still ten kilometers away from the towering mountain range that reached the clouds, but the majestic power of the mountain range actually made it hard for Grimm to breathe.
Such a tall mountain range had actually penetrated into the chaotic space above the clouds. How was he supposed to cross it?
There were so many strange skeletons of giant sea creatures here. It could be assumed that this was an ancient battlefield of the sorcerer world. Could it be that in ancient times, the sorcerers really had a war with the sea creatures that concerned the survival of the human sorcerer civilization?
"Do you see this majestic mountain range?" Peranos raised his head and said indifferently.
Grimm swallowed his saliva and asked, "Mentor, could it be that this is the ancient history before the war of the sorcerer world civilization? The ancient sorcerers had a war with the sea creatures of the sorcerer world? "
"Hmph."
Peranos sneered and said, "It wasn't a war between the ancient sorcerers and the sea creatures, but rather a war between the human race of the sorcerer world and the sea creatures of the sorcerer world for hegemony. Although it was too long ago for a low-level sorcerer like me to understand, there is no doubt that the sorcerer world was officially called the sorcerer world after that war! "
Even Mentor Peranos said he was a low-level sorcerer?
That's right …
From a historical point of view, to be able to leave their own mark on the sorcerer civilization, at the very least, was it possible for a Stigmata Sorcerer? And a Level-3 sorcerer was just a high-level soldier of the sorcerer world.
The sorcerer world was not originally called the sorcerer world.
Only in ancient times, when the human sorcerer civilization succeeded in ruling this world and became the ruler of this world, the sorcerer world was truly the sorcerer world.
As for what the sorcerer world was called before …
It was very likely that there were corresponding records in the Sea King Altar. Even the Sea King Altar could be said to be a historical site that was even older than the Sky City of the sorcerer world. After all, from the tone of Peranos's words, it seemed that the human sorcerers at that time were on the weaker side.
That's right!
Grimm's body suddenly trembled. He stared at the wreckage of a three-meter tall mecha, and his expression changed again and again.
The form of these mechas was similar to the ones he had seen in the ruins of the Black Iso Tower Secret Mirror, and the huge space battlefield behind the crystal glass screen!
And according to the clues he had obtained from the competition stage and from his mentor, these mechas and mechanical marionettes, apart from Sky City, had already been replaced by the soul slaves of the Stigmata Sorcerers after the first civilization war of the sorcerer world.
In that case, didn't that mean …
That ruin was a historical site from before the end of the first civilization war of the sorcerer world? Was it a genuine ancient ruin?
Grimm's expression was bewildered and uncertain. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that within that ruin there was certainly some secret waiting for him to uncover. It was even very likely that it was related to the first civilization war of the sorcerer world. And from what he had learned from Primal Curse Althio, the sorcerer's symbiotic insect civilization had unexpectedly started from the Arminio parasites. But the Arminio parasites were originally the parasites of that ancient ruin …
Peranos saw that Grimm was blankly looking all around and thought that Grimm was shocked by this ancient battlefield. He smiled and asked, "Do you know the name of this lofty mountain range in front of you?"
Grimm awoke from his contemplation and blankly shook his head.
"The will of the human race!" Peranos used the airflow in his abdomen to issue a firm and proud voice.
The will of the human race?
Grimm asked, "Don't tell me that in ancient times, when the human race was on the brink of life and death, they relied on this mountain range to protect their bloodline inheritance?"
"According to my mentor, the situation of the human race at that time was even more dangerous than the situation of the second civilization war. And in ancient times, this was the dividing line between the sea and the land of the sorcerer world. "Peranos pointed at the mountain range in front of them and said in a low voice.
Regarding the ancient hegemony war between the human race and the sea creatures, this kind of thing was too ancient, so Grimm didn't have too many feelings.
This was because for ordinary sorcerer-apprentices, or even ordinary people in the sorcerer world, people were already used to the sorcerer world being ruled by the human race, and the human race being ruled by the Holy Tower sorcerers.
As for those "low-level" sea creatures …
Although he knew that there were some intelligent groups among them, he had never thought about other things. If a sorcerer-apprentice suddenly said that the creatures in the ocean were an intelligent group that oppressed human sorcerers in ancient times, he would definitely be mercilessly ridiculed.
Even now, when Grimm heard his mentor talking about the ancient times, when the human race and the sea creatures were fighting for hegemony in the sorcerer world, they were actually facing the crisis of extinction.
Now that he thought about it again …
When the ship was still under the control of Dira of Lilith's Cabin, when the sea monsters attacked, Wizard Dira seemed to have said something similar to the ancient war between the human race and the sea creatures.
(Volume 1: Chapter 13, "Flames of the Dead Soul" mentioned it. Friends who are interested can go back and read it.)
Needless to say, at that time, the human sorcerers on the continent should have been in the embryonic stage of the birth of civilization, and it was even possible that there were other groups of creatures coexisting on the sorcerer continent.
But why did the sorcerers at that time win?
After Grimm asked the question in his heart, Norris sighed and said lightly, "The reason why the human race won was because … of the dark sorcerers!"
Grimm's pupils shrank, and he asked in disbelief, "The dark sorcerers?"
Norris nodded and said in a deep voice, "Yes, the dark sorcerers! It was those crazy sorcerers among the sorcerers that made the sorcerer civilization's terror for the first time wreak havoc on other groups of creatures, and laid the foundation of the sorcerer civilization. "
Speaking of this, Norris turned to look at Grimm and asked, "Grimm, do you know why the dark sorcerers are so powerful?"
Hiss …
Grimm really didn't expect that the infamous dark sorcerers on the sorcerer continent in the ancient times could save the survival of the human race. They were the heroes of the human race. It had to be said that this fact strongly conflicted with Grimm's ideology, and even made Grimm feel that it was absurd.
However, when asked by his mentor, Grimm thought for a while and answered seriously, "The dark sorcerers can absorb negative energy and use it. On the battlefield, such negative energy is almost endless. So … "
Norris nodded, but interrupted Grimm and asked, "What else?"
"Well … the dark sorcerers' synthetic beasts and breeding mutant creatures all require a large amount of flesh and blood to be refined. The flesh and blood of the sea creatures are the perfect materials for the dark sorcerers to refine more powerful synthetic beasts and mutant creatures …"
"No, no, no, the ancient dark sorcerers' synthetic beasts and mutant creatures didn't have the technology we have now." Norris interrupted Grimm again.
Grimm frowned. After thinking for a long time, he gently shook his head.
Norris sighed and said, "It seems that you still don't understand the true strength of the dark sorcerers. You're just stuck at this superficial understanding. The true strength of the dark sorcerers lies in their targeted breeding and transformation of creatures. This is also the most basic knowledge of the dark sorcerers' research on the arcane of life and death. "
What?
Targeted breeding and transformation of creatures?
Suddenly, Grimm recalled that when Sorcerer Dira was killing those sea monsters, those strange insects called Urado's Nemesis completely ignored the sailors at that time. They didn't even react to the giant octopus monster's tentacle that was cut off from the ship. Their only goal was to kill those sea monsters.
And this Urado's Nemesis, was it the targeted breeding and transformation of the sea creatures by the dark sorcerers in the ancient times?
