The underground lake where the Water Crystal Tortoise was found.
It would take at least ten years for the Void Fortress to fix the coordinates of this world and set up the World Aperture Teleportation Circle to the Sorcerer World.
During this period, Grimm planned to study the Lightning Mirror at the bottom of the lake.
During the Scarlet Sun Calamity at the Sacred Lava Mountain, Grimm accidentally saw the secret of the Scarlet Sun Calamity inside the Sacred Lava Mountain. It was also in a Lightning Mirror.
Naturally, Grimm thought of the Lightning Mirror at the bottom of the lake.
Although he was still unsure of the true purpose and ability of this Lightning Mirror, there was no doubt that the similar Lightning Mirror in this world hid some of the secrets of this world. It was just like how the Black Sea Whirlpool in the Sorcerer World was connected to the World Core and the Destiny Lever of the World.
Grimm guessed that it was very likely that these Lightning Mirror were the coordinates of this world's Principal Space.
Bubble, bubble …
Bubbles appeared at the bottom of the lake. Grimm told Myna about his guess. Myna used its limited brain capacity to think for a while and said, "Caw? Very likely, but we are not creatures of this world. Trespassing into the Principal Space is very likely to cause the Principal Will of the entire world to retaliate. "
Triggering the Principal Will of a world to retaliate, even if it was a low-level world like this, even a Stigmata Sorcerer could fall completely.
Grimm nodded. His eyes under the Mask of Truth looked at the quietly waiting Water Crystal Tortoise and smiled.
If it was this Water Crystal Tortoise, would it cause the Principal Will of the World to retaliate?
It seemed that he had to prepare well.
With the perception of the Relative Space Barrier, Grimm was confident that there was indeed a hidden space behind the Lightning Mirror.
A moment later.
The Water Crystal Tortoise was lying on the experiment table. Through the Soul Seed, Grimm knew the fear in the Water Crystal Tortoise's heart. It had witnessed the scene of Grimm "brutally killing" the Amonros on this experiment table. This was a terrifying place, a place where the sorcerer displayed his cruel will.
However, as Grimm's Soul Slave, the Water Crystal Tortoise could not resist.
Grimm's eyes under the Mask of Truth seemed to have seen through everything about the Water Crystal Tortoise, but they were unusually calm. Together with the dim light in the lab, they looked cruel and mysterious.
Quietly, Grimm stretched out his index finger. From his skin, a worm the size of a grain of rice slowly crawled out. It looked so harmless, so defenseless, so ordinary, as if it could be squashed to death with a light pinch.
With a mysterious smile, Grimm inserted his index finger into the body of the Water Turtle Elemental Incarnation and left some "food" in it.
"Greatness begins with insignificance."
After Grimm finished speaking in a low and hoarse voice, he took out his finger and left the Symbiotic Bug in the body of the Water Crystal Turtle.
The Gadfly had the ability to change the Life Code, but it could not attack elemental creatures like the Water Crystal Turtle. However, Grimm had already discovered another ability of the Gadfly, which was to merge with the host's life information and hide it.
After more than two hundred years of reproduction, the Gadfly in Grimm's body was no longer the first batch of wild Gadflies that Grimm collected in the Sorcerer World. Instead, it was the Gadfly that had been carefully cultivated and selected in Grimm's body.
In recent years, Grimm vaguely felt that his Symbiotic Bug had started to feel uneasy in his body. It seemed like it was going to evolve again.
The reason for this, Grimm thought, was that after his Life Code collapsed and he reincarnated, these little creatures with the ability to change the Life Code obtained some kind of opportunity.
In order for the Gadfly to evolve, it had to reproduce in a new host and obtain some kind of opportunity.
If Grimm suppressed the Gadfly in his body for a long time, it was very likely that the Life Code in his body would break.
Now, in the near future, there would be a batch of Gadflies in the Water Crystal Turtle's body, but Grimm's target was not it.
After finishing the preparation, Grimm left the laboratory with a satisfied smile, temporarily forgetting the troubles of the Nightmare Phantom. The Water Crystal Turtle's old and muddy eyes trembled as it looked at the little life that had appeared in its body.
…
One year later.
"Master …"
The Water Crystal Turtle wailed for the last time, and the Natural Elemental Soul was kept by Grimm's crystal ball. The cruel Sorcerer only treated the Soul Slave as a test subject and had no sympathy.
With a poof, the Water Crystal Turtle's elemental body turned into a ball of elemental energy and dissipated.
Myna looked at the hundreds of Gadflies that were the size of rice grains on the experiment table and asked, "These little things are your Symbiotic Bugs? Interesting, unlike the Sorcerers who used those disgusting Iron Nematode Bugs as their Symbiotic Bugs when that old bastard was still alive. "
Regarding the sorcerers' Symbiotic Insect Civilization, the beginning and the first Civilization War, Grimm already had a considerable amount of clues. However, this Myna was only a "relic" left behind from the second Civilization War, and there was no relevant detailed information.
Thinking about it, the Ancient Sorcerers must have evolved by leaps and bounds after the First Civilization War, just like the Ancient Sorcerers did during the Second Civilization War.
Grimm collected the Gadflies that had assimilated with the Water Crystal Turtle's life information and shook his head. "The current Sorcerers World is actually the same as the Ancient Sorcerers you mentioned. However, half of the Sorcerers' Symbiotic Bugs have been replaced by a strange creature called the Moth."
"Moth? What's that? I've never heard of it. Is it a newly bred Symbiotic Bug in the Sorcerers World? "Myna asked curiously.
Grimm put away the gadflies on the test bench one by one as he said, "According to research, the moth should be a new species after the Great Cataclysm of the Sorcerer World's Second Civilization War. Because the Sorcerer World deviated the coordinates of the Endless World, a type of insect called the Rainbow Insect could not absorb the Great Polar Light from the other world. As for the ability that the Sorcerers World gained, they gained about a hundred years of life energy during their apprenticeship. With this, they had a higher chance of becoming an official Sorcerer. "
Historical research was the favorite topic of knowledge exploration for some Sorcerers.
History as a teacher, history as a wisdom. History made Sorcerers wiser, and it was also the fundamental way for Sorcerers to gain foresight and wisdom.
"Caw? Do these stupid Sorcerer-Apprentices really think that with an extra hundred years of life, they have a higher chance of becoming an official Sorcerer? To become an official Sorcerer, there are only two paths: wisdom and luck, not time. "Myna's face was full of disdain and its little tail was wagging.
Grimm added in his heart, "And strength."
Holding the collected Gadflies, Grimm once again dived into the Lightning Mirror at the bottom of the lake. After feeling the relative space of the Lightning Mirror, he gently tore it with his Space Control talent, and a crack appeared.
Grimm quickly threw all the Gadflies in his hands into the crack.
This was Grimm's first attempt to explore the secret space behind the Lightning Mirror. He would then decide if he should report this secret to the Battle Command in exchange for Sorcerer Essences or even Honor Badges.
As for the secret of the Lightning Mirror itself, Grimm had not received any enlightenment for the time being.
It would take at least ten years for him to return to the Sorcerers World. He could not afford to waste time. It was time to sort out some of the things that he had yet to deal with in this world.
The key to the Amonros' nest-building technique was the control of the Camphoragate Worms. Grimm had collected many live specimens of the Camphoragate Worms.
The Enigmatic Energy Reversal System would come in handy when Grimm wanted to create Evolved Chimeras in the future.
The Golden Flame on the tail of the Mutated Amonros had a natural resistance to Fire Elemental Energy. He had collected a small bottle of Demonic Blood Moss as an experimental specimen, and a small piece of strange metal that could communicate with Mystical Energy.
As for the knowledge related to the Ice Marrow Crystallization Sorcery that he had obtained from rescuing Millie, Grimm would have to deal with it when he returned to the Sorcerers World.
Other resources were the Natural Elemental Soul of the Great Bloodfalls Lavawyvern, a strand of the Natural Elemental Soul of the Water Crystal Turtle, countless Energy Crystals, hundreds of Golden Amonro slaves, and a Core of Lava, which had caused the Greedy Flame Giant to mutate into a Savage Flame Giant.
Just like that, Grimm began to deal with his harvest in the laboratory day after day. At the same time, he would go to the Lightning Mirror at the bottom of the lake once a day, hoping to wait for the Gadflies to return from the unknown space on the other side of the Lightning Mirror.
…
Five years later.
Like every day, Grimm would go to the Lightning Mirror at the bottom of the lake to check on it. He was gradually disappointed.
According to the reproduction cycle of the Gadflies, they would reproduce and renew themselves once a year. The self-reproducing Gadflies would not be like Grimm's body, which was screened by the Sorcerer's Will to adjust the number of the fittest.
There had been no news for so many years. Perhaps, they had been "digested" or "purified" by the unknown space behind the Lightning Mirror …
Just as Grimm was about to leave the Lightning Mirror as usual, he was suddenly startled. Puzzled, he opened the opposite space of the Lightning Mirror. All of a sudden, a continuous buzzing sound could be heard, and densely packed green dots flew out. Grimm was shocked!
Myna also appeared out of thin air and appeared on Grimm's shoulder.
"Damn it, why are there so many of them? And they've mutated from white to green?" Myna shouted as he saw the "green Gadflies" swarming out of the crack in the Lightning Mirror.
After the initial shock, Grimm gradually calmed down as he felt the Gadflies' Soul Imprint and the intimacy between him and the Gadflies.
It seemed that something must have happened in the unknown space behind the Lightning Mirror!
Thinking of this, Grimm calmed himself down and was about to try to read the Symbiotic Bug's simple memories when he suddenly realized that these Gadflies seemed to have formed some kind of external force field. This was something that had never happened before.
Could it be an evolved ability?
As he guessed, Grimm carefully sensed the Gadflies' ability. He was silent.
After a few minutes, the swarming Gadflies finally finished pouring out of the crack in the Lightning Mirror. The entire space of the cave laboratory had long been occupied by Gadflies, densely packed and uncountable.
Gadflies could float in the air, swim, and parasitize.
Under normal circumstances, Gadflies would not make any sound. They were like floating dust or debris in the water. Although they looked weak, they were very tenacious.
In the Sorcerer World, other than frogs, all small omnivorous creatures that fed on insects were the Gadflies' natural enemies. Hence, there were not many of them, and most people would not pay attention to them.
After a while, Grimm was pleasantly surprised. He murmured in disbelief, "This is … a mutated force field! A force field that can externally affect the mutation of the Life Code! "
If this was the case, Grimm only needed to develop it in a simple way, and he would be able to display an extremely terrifying witchcraft ability that he had imagined.
Using a force field to mutate the Life Code of other creatures, if this kind of witchcraft was formed, it would look like a type of Curse Witchcraft from the outside.
This curse did not even require the Life Code!
So, Curse Witchcraft could be developed like this?
Of course, if this kind of imagined witchcraft was developed, it would not be considered a Curse Witchcraft. After all, the theory behind it was completely different from Curse Witchcraft.
At the same time, through the soul connection of the evolved Gadfly, Grimm saw a huge green vine in a single colored space, as if it was sealed there.
In the Gadfly's field of vision, this vine was boundless …
Grimm wanted to read more of the Gadfly's memories, but as an insect's soul, the Gadfly did not have any more stored memories. Even these memories were extremely vague, and Grimm could only make guesses on his own.
After a long time, in the end, Grimm did not dare to personally explore this law space. To Grimm, this was undoubtedly seeking his own death.
Grimm suddenly felt that the more knowledge he had, the more insignificant he became.
With a sigh, Grimm looked at the densely packed evolved Gadflies in the grotto laboratory. He squinted his eyes and licked his lips.
His plans for the next few years should change. He must select the best from these evolved Gadflies to be his new generation of Symbiotic Insects.
