Seven months later.
As usual, Grimm wore a loose sorcerer's robe and sat in front of the table. On one hand, he used his mental strength to copy the spirit words of the devil's contract from another world. On the other hand, he observed some subtle reactions and fluctuations on the soul level on the crystal ball, trying to find some hidden rules.
After sitting motionlessly in front of the table for a few hourglasses, it seemed that with the arrival of a certain time, Grimm instinctively took out two broken branches. His eyes stared at the broken branches for a moment before putting them away.
Stretching his body, Grimm's bones under the loose robe made a series of "creak, creak" sounds before he stood up.
He walked to the vessel covered with a black cloth, observed for a moment, and then took off the black cloth. Then he walked to the front of an alchemy furnace and observed the temperature inside. After confirming that the alchemy materials inside were in a normal state according to theory, he took out a few magic stones to replace the magic stones around the alchemy furnace that had exhausted their energy.
"Knock, knock."
In this comfortable environment, the wooden door of the room was lightly knocked.
Grimm walked to the wooden door and opened it with a "creak". The old butler was standing in front of him with a cup of frozen coconut juice. Taking the coconut juice, Grimm took a sip and asked, "Is there any news?"
"Yes, my master. It has been confirmed that in three days, this year's peak sorcerer-apprentices from the Holy Tower of Seven Rings will go to the Heart of the World. "The old butler lowered his head and said softly.
Apart from the somewhat mechanical voice, it was impossible to tell whether this old butler was a puppet or a human.
Three days later?
Grimm stood where he was and thought for a moment. He frowned and said, "It seems that this' Grimm Elemental Great Staff 1.0 Enhanced 'prototype mold can only be refined halfway. Hmm, after this magic staff is refined and the materials are prepared, I can try to refine the prototype of the Mask of Truth. "
Thinking like this, Grimm once again began to methodically put some of his experimental items into the last disposable space pocket. He was preparing to accept the reward of the peak sorcerer-apprentice after the Holy Tower Tryouts, the fragment of the Heart of the World.
…
Three days later.
Grimm stood shoulder to shoulder with four other Apex Sorcerer-Apprentices, wearing the Three Moist Armor, wearing the Ashen Mask, and wielding the Elemental Great Staff 1.0.
Nairo's entire body was still wrapped in the metal shackles as she floated. Apart from the golden hair draped over her head with an indifferent face, it seemed like all of her movements were replaced by the "omnipotent" metal shackles.
Yupao was still wearing a black robe, his face revealing a sinister look. His eyes were firmly staring at Nairo's body. He didn't even glance at Green who was at the side, seeming as if he didn't care about Green at all.
As for the other two Bright Sorcerer acolytes, one male and one female, they didn't have any intention of interacting with Grimm, Nairo, and Yupao. They were all wearing bright and bright sorcerer robes, leaning on magic staffs, and wearing horned hats.
The giant tortoise of the Celestial Cordillera floated in the sky, getting closer and closer to the vortex of magical elements in the dusky sky at the top of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings.
* Hiss … *
However, the few sorcerer-apprentices didn't pay attention to the cloud vortex that was getting closer and closer. Instead, they were attracted by the Holy Tower of Seven Rings' awe-inspiring, majestic, yet strange shape and aura.
This wasn't the Sorcerer World's traditional Sorcerer Tower structure.
All around the Holy Tower of Seven Rings' towering body, countless mechanical arms unceasingly contracted. Regardless of whether it was sorcerers, mechanical objects, or other creatures, even flying bubbles, after walking to these mechanical arms, they were all unexpectedly sent by these arms into the wall of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings that was like a membrane of flesh. Then, following a kind of strange majestic energy fluctuation, the membrane of flesh absorbed everything on the mechanical arms into its own body.
The entire process was as if this Holy Tower of Seven Rings monster was sending food to the mechanical arms one by one into its stomach.
The entire Holy Tower of Seven Rings' height was like another 'terrifying version' of the Tree of Life in the Seven Rings World. The Celestial Cordillera's not considered small body was currently soaring above the Holy Tower of Seven Rings, doing its best to approach the cloud layer of elemental vortex at the top of the Holy Tower.
Those voidships and sorcerers that were far smaller than the Celestial Cordillera all gave way to the Celestial Cordillera one after another.
At this moment, the Celestial Cordillera not only stretched out a turtle head, four black rock giant claws also stretched out from the inside of the huge mountain. Its four limbs swayed, and amidst the rumbling sound of rubbing rocks, it gradually "slid" toward the cloud layer of elemental vortex, plunging head first inside.
Rumble, rumble, rumble …
An ear-piercing sonic boom sounded.
After a brief feeling of their bodies being stretched into noodles, the next moment, numerous sorcerer-apprentices only felt a blur before their eyes, and the endless black seawater that formed the sea appeared below their field of vision.
Whoosh, whoosh …
With the majestic sound of sea waves, Grimm and several other sorcerer-apprentices standing on top of the Celestial Cordillera simultaneously looked toward the distant black sea behind them. An unknown several hundred meter long dorsal fin's tip flashed before disappearing into the sea, and a large amount of sea waves surged in all directions.
Buzz …
Even further away, a several tens of meter long mechanical bee with incomparable speed surpassed the Celestial Cordillera, so fast that one could only see an afterimage before disappearing at the end of their field of vision. On the black sea surface, the torrent of air cut out a wave scar.
"Hm? Really, it's the Sky Holy Tower again, what's the rush … "
After the black-rock turtle head under the Celestial Cordillera complained in a muffled voice, along with the sound of heavy rocks rubbing against each other, the black-rock turtle head turned toward Nairo, Yupao, Grimm, as well as the two Bright Robe sorcerer-apprentices and said, "When you come back, call me when everyone has arrived. Otherwise, if I fall asleep, I won't automatically send you back to the Seven Rings Holy Tower."
(I don't know if the two words "turtle – head" will be harmonious or not. I'll mark it first. If it's harmonious, I won't change it. If it's not harmonious, it's best. In all honesty, Egret can't find a substitute for it. Don't tell me it's called "turtle's head"?)
Finished speaking, the Celestial Cordillera's huge rock limbs fiercely slashed, and Grimm and the others only felt a gust of fierce wind blowing against their faces. In the next moment, they appeared a kilometer away.
So fast!
Just as Grimm exclaimed in his heart, there was another gust of fierce wind blowing against their faces, and in the next moment, they appeared a kilometer away.
After a little less than half an hourglass' time, the "calm and dignified" surface of the black sea gradually disappeared, and a huge black whirlpool that couldn't be seen at a glance appeared out of nowhere on the black sea. It was as if some kind of invisible energy magnetic field made the surrounding black sea water go around this whirlpool.
Rumble …
The moment the Celestial Cordillera's giant turtle fell below the sea level of the vacuum whirlpool, the deafening sound of the majestic sea waves entered their ears. But just now, when it was above the sea level vacuum whirlpool, there wasn't any sound at all.
The vast black gas vacuum whirlpool was bottomless, and there wasn't any light at the bottom. The surging seawater flowed around the whirlpool.
The Celestial Cordillera stopped in the sky at the center of the whirlpool, as if a fly had fallen on a dinner plate.
Xiu!
A Sorcerer sitting on a red carpet flew over. The Sorcerer's high-horned hat had a magic lamp on it, and its strange shape was a bit like some of the strange glowing fish in the underwater world.
The Sorcerer on the flying carpet was a female, and she said to the Celestial Cordillera, "Guardian of the Seven Rings, let me bring these children to the World Core."
"I will obey the will of the Sorcerer World Guardian." The Celestial Cordillera said in a dull voice.
Immediately after, a strange energy lifted Grimm and the others from the back of the giant turtle's mountain peak, and gently sent them to the Sorcerer World Guardian's flying carpet.
Grimm was surprised to feel this invisible and untouchable mysterious energy.
This feeling, it was as if he wasn't being dragged up and sent to the flying carpet, but rather the entire Sorcerer World moved a bit, and he didn't move at all. Then, the flying carpet automatically sent him under his feet.
This …
This was the power of nature's absolute control?
The other Sorcerer-Apprentices also revealed astonished and pondered expressions. A Bright Sorcerer-Apprentice's enormous scroll unexpectedly floated up on its own, and then, as if it had gathered some information, it rolled up again and returned to the Bright Sorcerer-Apprentice's back.
This Sorcerer World Guardian's flying carpet seemed to be able to enlarge infinitely. After Grimm and the others stood on it, there wasn't the slightest bit of crowding. Stepping on it also didn't feel soft like they had imagined, but was instead as hard as a wooden floor.
This female Sorcerer World Guardian looked at the several Sorcerer-Apprentices on the flying carpet.
The most eye-catching one was naturally Nairo. Her entire body was wrapped in black metal chains, and only a head with golden hair was exposed. A pair of indifferent eyes calmly looked at everything around her.
Although at this moment she similarly landed on the ground, the bottom of the chain ball always maintained a trace of distance from the carpet.
Yupao wore a dark gray Sorcerer's robe, and on his forehead were two fire elemental circles. At first glance, it looked like some kind of magical tool, but if one carefully felt it, they would discover that this should be some kind of fire elemental sorcery that maintained a constant state. The circles on his black hair were bright and dazzling, giving him a different kind of dressing style.
At the same time, on Yupao's black Sorcerer robe, there were some red cloud decorative patterns, similar to the Burning Cloud sorcery that Grimm had seen him release before.
Generally speaking, Sorcerers' robes rarely had these kinds of strange patterns.
Following that, the female Sorcerer cast her gaze on Grimm.
His tall and sturdy body was covered in metal armor, and on his waist hung a gray pouch and a strange dagger. In his hand, he held a simple but unique magic staff. His long golden hair was scattered, and he wore a deathly white mask on his face.
The pair of eyes that shone with a rational luster from the holes of the mask revealed a trace of etiquette, and nodded towards her.
"Yes."
Faintly agreeing, the female Sorcerer cast her gaze on the Bright Sorcerer acolyte who carried a huge scroll on his back …
After observing for a while, the female Sorcerer nodded and said, "The few of you remember, after arriving at the World-Core, maintain silence and solemnity at all times. You cannot have any conflicts or disputes with other Sorcerer-Apprentices of the Holy Tower. After the Sorcerer World Guardian has given you the reward you deserve and after you have become an official Sorcerer, and you also have the intention to leave the World-Core, you will automatically be connected to the World-Core's Destiny Lever and transported to the center of the Black Sea Whirlpool. "
Among the few Sorcerer-Apprentices, only Grimm and the Bright Sorcerer with the scroll on his back trembled slightly, as if startled by the words "Destiny Lever".
Unexpectedly, they were really going to see this Destiny Lever that had once changed the fate of the Sorcerer World?
Nairo, Yupao, and the other Bright Sorcerer were unmoved, obviously they did not know the significance of the Destiny Lever to the Sorcerer World.
