On the platform of the Hexagram Teleportation Array, Grimm looked down at the Goat Skull in his hand.
This … this is the skull of a World Lord!?
Grimm was shocked. The faint aura coming from the Goat Skull made Grimm's heart tremble.
Other than that, the exterior of the Sabbatic Goat Skull was communicating with an unimaginable Mana Source Dimension through some unknown means. The mysteriousness of it was similar to the Enigmatic Seal that was cast inside the Amonros' body, as well as the Enigmatic Sanctuary.
Inside the Goat Skull, there was an unfathomable spiritual energy illusory space created by the Black Iso Tower Stigmata Sorcerer.
Inside the spiritual energy illusory space, there was some kind of malice that locked onto Grimm.
"Hiss … this precious material, looks like I need to make good use of it!" Grimm took a deep breath.
Using the skull of a World Lord as the foundation, the spiritual illusory space created by a Level Six Stigmata Sorcerer was sealed inside, and it was connected to the magic power source of the Sorcerer Tower.
This material was unimaginably valuable to low-level sorcerers.
Keeping the Goat Skull temporarily, Grimm walked down the platform of the Hexagram Teleportation Array and flew to the lower floor of the Black Iso Tower. He arrived at Norris' room on the 79th floor.
Two hourglasses later.
Grimm and Norris sat opposite each other. Norris was lost in his memories.
"The people you mentioned … except for Anna and Alastair who have become official sorcerers and returned to the academy to teach, I don't know about the rest. They are just sorcerer-apprentices. Who knows? Maybe they went on a solo journey after becoming official sorcerers, or they died. "
To Norris, training sorcerer-apprentices who had short lives was like baking bread.
Every hundred years, a box of bread would be baked, and then another until he was no longer the dean of the Black Iso Tower Academy.
The faces of sorcerer-apprentices changed. Norris could only remember the sorcerers who had become official sorcerers and returned to the academy to teach.
"Anna has become an official sorcerer!"
Grimm was happy for Anna, but at the same time, he was worried about his other childhood friends.
Forget about the others. Although they were familiar with each other, their relationship was not deep. The emotionless Dark Sorcerer Grimm could no longer evoke too many emotions.
But the good brother Robinson who comforted him on his sad nights, and the beautiful Lafite who held a glass of red wine that he cherished the most …
The more he recalled, the more he missed her.
Grimm could no longer restrain his desire to see her. What was scary was that this would be the last time they met!
Thinking back to the pure and beautiful days of the past, it was as if the world only had the six great Sorcerer Academies.
Everyone worked hard to learn the sorcerer's knowledge. It was such a pure and beautiful time, and they yearned for everything in the future. Every day, they learned to the fullest and made rapid progress. The world was so mysterious and wonderful.
Norris looked at Glenn's longing face and waved his hand. "Go ahead. You'll be a formal sorcerer after you've experienced all this."
Grimm nodded and turned to leave.
…
Taking out the crystal ball, Grimm sent a signal to the frequency that had not been connected for more than two hundred years.
After a while, the crystal ball connected, and a surprised voice came. "Grimm?"
Grimm looked at the old face in the crystal ball. His eyes under the Mask of Truth paused for a moment, and gradually overlapped with the cute and introverted Anna in his memory.
Grimm recalled the day when her brother Chris died. She was sad and pitiful.
He recalled the beautiful time in the orchestra pit before the qualification battle, when she danced with the ordinary and introverted wizard apprentice, Henrik.
He recalled the qualification battle, when she witnessed his power, and sincerely wished him good luck and was proud of his legend.
All the memories were so beautiful, and he looked forward to a better future.
But the reality …
He remembered the little girl who used to call him "Brother Grimm" when she saw him. But now, the "little girl" who had become an official Sorcerer with an aged face, although she was surprised to see him again, it was no longer the same as before.
So this was time …
Grimm smiled and tried his best to use the energetic voice in his memory. "Nina."
But as soon as Grimm spoke, his voice was naturally tainted with the gloomy and hoarse voice of a Dark Wizard. Even the joy in his voice was covered by a cruel calmness.
Under the Mask of Truth, Grimm's face was a bit stiff. He wanted to make himself more friendly, but he realized that he had lost his heart.
Unless Grimm treated this as a dissimilation disguise mission.
Nina's face was also stiff, but she quickly recovered her happy expression. This once innocent and introverted girl had truly matured.
This was a cruel kind of maturity!
Anna York looked at Grimm's mask. Although it had turned from pale white to grey, and from small spirals to big spirals, it was still the same aura of truth and mystery. It had not changed at all.
"Grimm, where are you? I'll pick you up." Nina invited him.
…
About half an hourglass later.
The strong aroma of coffee filled the room. Grimm and Nina sat facing each other. Two Guardian Knights stood behind Nina, and a beautiful female humanoid slave was carrying plates of exquisite pastries.
However, these pastries and coffee were no longer attractive to Grimm and Nina, who had already become official wizards.
"Grimm, I didn't expect you to come back now."
Anna picked up the cup of coffee. Her skinny palms were like old tree bark. Her eyes were a little turbid. The two Guardian Knights behind her were full of reverence and respect.
Grimm smiled and put the coffee on the table.
"Nina, I didn't expect you to become an official wizard. Congratulations."
Nina shook her head and smiled. "I didn't expect that I would realize all the wishes of my brother and I without even knowing it."
Regaining Nina's appearance from the shipwreck and becoming an official wizard was the wish of the siblings.
Grimm's eyes showed a trace of desire. He said slowly, "Nina, what about them …"
Nina froze. She was quiet for a few seconds. The atmosphere was a bit depressing.
"We lost contact with Robin 120 years ago. I heard he was traveling through the Jewel Sea and never came back."
"What about Robinson?" Grimm asked in a hurry.
"Robinson … Because he didn't become an official wizard, he died 75 years ago in the Black Isotta Sorcerer Academy's Scarlet City. I was the one who saw him leave. Robinson and Robin had a son called Silent. He didn't pass the test in the Black Iso Tower. "
"He's dead …"
Grimm's voice was shaking. He seemed to be scared.
Grimm looked at Nina with a pleading gaze. "Then … What about Lefay? How is she?"
"Lefay, Lefay …"
Nina stared at Grimm, biting her lips and unable to say a word.
Grimm felt like he couldn't breathe. It was like he was punched in the chest. He leaned against the sofa and slowly closed his eyes.
"Lefay … She didn't become an official wizard either. Is she dead?" Grimm asked in a sad voice.
This was the final parting between life and death, the pain of not being able to see the person he once loved, the regret of not loving once more and cherishing once more. So this was how it felt …
If …
If he had chosen to give up the path of a Demon-Hunter and spend the rest of his life with the one he loved, would he feel differently now?
Grimm didn't know, and he didn't have the chance to try.
This type of heart-wrenching pain, even though the moment that Grimm resolutely and silently left the academy, his forward-looking wisdom had already somewhat anticipated it, when it truly arrived, it was actually this type of pain.
The pain in his nose and in his heart made Grimm's eyes moisten.
This was truly a regret that made one despair, but one that could not be changed.
"No! Lefay … Lefay is not dead! Her Symbiotic Insect is a moth. She's still alive! "Nina struggled and looked at Grimm.
Happiness came too suddenly. Grimm couldn't believe it. He looked at Nina with trembling eyes.
With his mouth agape, Grimm mumbled, "Did you just say … Lefay, she's not dead?"
"Yes. Lefay didn't become an official wizard, but she's not dead. I'm sure!" Nina bit her lips and her eyes turned red.
Grimm suddenly stood up. He was shocked, confused, and excited. "Where is she now? I want to see her. I want to go now!"
Nina looked at Grimm's clear eyes. Her sunken eyes turned even redder. Is he crying?
An official wizard is crying?
Grimm was shocked.
He still had a chance to see Lefay again. Even if Lefay didn't become an official wizard, he could still spend the last moments of her life with her. He would try his best to make it up to her.
He wanted to watch the sunset with Lefay by the seaside. He wanted to have a grand wedding in her father's castle in Bi Seer City. He wanted to hold her hand and tell her his love ten thousand times.
Everything was perfect. He still had a chance to make it up to her. But why did Nina have such a strange look on her face?
Grimm stared at Nina, waiting for her answer.
Nina looked at the mysterious, powerful, and pitiful man in front of her. She slowly closed her eyes and said in a sad voice.
"Lefay … She and many other apprentices were bewitched by the evil dark wizard Hattori the Hidden from the same batch as us. They became his followers. The reason why I'm sure Lefay is still alive is because her name is still on the bounty list. "
Nina's words struck Grimm like he was struck by lightning. He couldn't believe it.
Slowly, a scroll filled with the names of numerous acolytes appeared. There were over a hundred Dark Sorcerer acolytes on the bounty, and Lafite's name was among them.
