Three months later, on the Eastern Coral Island.
This was a grassy area on a hilly plain where flowers bloomed.
"Hahaha, Grimm, no sorcery allowed. Guess how many strawberries I'm holding in my hand?" Lafite added, "Don't go back on your word."
Her voice was crisp and melodious, like the cry of a lark.
Lafite faced Grimm as he walked backwards, stepping on the lush green grass. Occasionally, a few hummingbirds and butterflies flew past him. Lafite had a charming and relaxed smile on his face. He clenched his slender and fair hand into a fist, letting Grimm guess.
"Caw caw, Young Master, I think there are three." Myna stood on Lafite's shoulder and snickered.
It was clearly the fellow who took out the strawberries from the Dimensional Gap, but it had been interfering with Grimm's thoughts, providing him with some specious information.
Moreover, this fellow relied on Grimm's love for Lafite to form an alliance with Lafite and bully Grimm.
However, Grimm seemed to be enjoying it very much.
With a charming smile, Grimm looked at Lafite's smiling crescent eyes and Myna's mischievous round eyes. After a moment of hesitation, he smiled and said, "I guess … you don't have any strawberries in your hand!"
"Caw caw, yay!" Myna jumped excitedly on Lafite's shoulder.
"Haha, Grimm, you're wrong. I have two strawberries in my hand. Come, Eight Rainbow Mivehi, let's each have one. He's so hungry. "Lafite grabbed the strawberry and ate it with Myna.
Lafite chewed on the strawberry playfully and pouted. "Grimm, you grab the strawberry. It's our turn to guess. We want to be fair."
Fair?
How was that fair …
Grimm could only guess once when he guessed the strawberry in Lefay's hand, but Lefay and Myna had to work together to guess Grimm's strawberry twice.
But when Grimm saw Lafite's coquettish appearance, her long black hair falling to her waist, he felt as if he had melted into a whirlpool of honey. It was sweet.
In the past, Grimm had always thought of himself as a rational wizard, but now he remembered a famous saying.
"A wizard in love is an unweaned baby."
At this moment, Grimm was like a three-hundred-year-old child who had actually grabbed a handful of strawberries from the Dimensional Gap. He pouted and said, "Guess."
"Two!" Myna was the first to guess. This fellow was a stupid bird that would never grow up.
"Three!" Lafite looked at Grimm nervously.
Grimm slowly released his palm. There were three strawberries in total. Myna and Lafite jumped up excitedly, grabbing the strawberries from Grimm's hand and eating them proudly, greedily staring at Grimm.
"Alright, it's your turn to guess us this time …"
As they walked, Grimm and Lafite were like a pair of wandering husband and wife who depended on each other for survival. They enjoyed every minute and second of happiness, feeling each other's heartbeats gradually merging into one.
In the farmhouse, after paying a high price of one silver coin, Grimm rented a room for a night.
Lafite leaned on Grimm's arm, lying on a straw mat, watching the stars twinkling in the sky.
Squeak, squeak, squeak …
Crickets and unknown flying insects chirped in the quiet night, like a wonderful song of nature. The tones rose and fell, sometimes soothing, sometimes high-pitched, it was heart-stirring.
In the sky, the crescent moon in the clouds looked like a naughty child in a bath, playing with bubbles in the water.
"Grimm, will we reach Krakatoa Harbor tomorrow?"
Lafite's voice came from deep in her throat, only Grimm could hear it. Her warm breath tickled Grimm's ear.
Feeling the warmth in his arms, Grimm hugged his wife a little tighter. He made a serious sound of "hmm", but his other hand began to mischievously make small movements.
On such a warm, romantic, and quiet night, only Grimm and Lafite seemed to be enjoying the beauty of this moment …
But …
"Caw caw, Young Master, look what I caught! This is a fluorescent bird, it's actually a fluorescent bird! This is a creature from ancient times, it's actually able to reproduce in the Eastern Coral Island, it's incredible! Young Master, come, let's go together … "
Cough cough!
The stiff Grimm coughed twice and quickly separated from Lafite, glaring hatefully at the damned Myna.
Why would Grimm be in the mood to catch some stupid bird at a time like this!?
"Hmm, that … Little Eight, go to the Dimensional Gap and rest for a while. I have something to discuss with Lafite." Grimm said seriously, as if there was really something important.
The elated Myna asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"
Grimm's face stiffened. He was almost amused by the Myna. He grabbed the Myna and stuffed it into the Dimensional Gap. He said fiercely, "What matter? What matter?! This is what you get for playing dumb! "
"Caw …" The Myna went silent.
The courtyard quieted down again. Grimm looked at Lafite with a mischievous smile, looking "unfriendly".
"Ah … Scoundrel, what are you doing …" Lafite giggled, pushing Grimm's chest with both hands.
Grimm smiled evilly. "What am I doing? Of course it's you! Little lamb, be good, the big bad wolf is coming. "
Lafite was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and laughed. "Scoundrel! Who's the big bad wolf and who's the little lamb, we don't know yet. Little lamb Grimm, Big Sister Wolf is hungry today. You can't run away … "
In the quiet courtyard, the sound of Grimm and Lafite's laughter could be faintly heard.
…
The next evening, the Duke's Mansion in Krakatoa Harbor.
Grimm and Lafite sat together, looking at the reclusive sorcerer who had invited Apollo and his group of Eastern Coral Island sorcerer-apprentices to a banquet more than two hundred years ago. They smiled and raised their wine glasses.
The Duke's chubby little face revealed a smile, but at the same time, there was some regret.
"I really didn't expect that among the hundreds of sorcerer-apprentices on the Deira Sea Ship, the two that were most expected to become official sorcerers, and only one of them succeeded in the Holy Tower Qualification Battle. However, among the inconspicuous sorcerers, geniuses like you and Anna appeared. Unfortunately … "
Unfortunately, Grimm and Anna had now become official sorcerers under the Black Isotta Academy.
After saying that, the Duke, Grimm, and Lafite clinked their glasses and downed the wine.
After Grimm's wedding, Anna returned to the Black Isotta Academy and agreed to Grimm's request to keep Lafite's information a secret.
In return, Anna received a secret laboratory left behind by Lafite's grandfather in Bi Seer City. From now on, Bi Seer City would be Anna's second home.
During the sumptuous banquet, Grimm and the Duke were exclaiming and chatting. After two hourglasses, they finally ended their visit and agreed to give Grimm the small castle that Grimm used to live in in Krakatoa Harbor.
On the brightly lit nightlife street, Lafite and Grimm walked hand in hand, brushing past passersby.
"Now, where are we going? Do you want to go to your castle and experience it? What if I barged into your room that night more than two hundred years ago? Hmm? My dear little brother Grimm? "
Lafite looked at Grimm teasingly.
Grimm grinned. After coughing twice, he said, "Well, I'll bring you to the Dark Well to have a look. I remember that year, it was Robinson who brought me here in the middle of the night. Now that I think about it, I really miss it …"
After a while.
On the small path, Grimm arrived in front of a mysterious little house. The moonlight shone on the maple trees, and the shadows on the windows swayed with the wind like palms. The atmosphere was filled with an unknown pressure.
There were many wells in the yard, and the laughter of young men and women could be heard from time to time. It seemed like they were attracted by some kind of strange amusement. At this moment, Grimm and Lafite seemed to have become part of these young men and women.
* Creak. *
Pushing the door open, Grimm took out a few gold coins and looked at the wrinkled old witch in front of him. The old witch also looked at Grimm with her cloudy eyes.
Grimm, who originally thought that the old witch was just another hidden sorcerer, was stunned.
No aura! How could this be?
Could it be a mechanical marionette?
While Grimm was still in shock, the old witch opened her mouth, revealing two rows of uneven black teeth. A sapling stretched out of the old witch's throat.
The sapling said angrily, "Young Demon-Hunter, don't you know that the Eye of the World doesn't allow creatures above level 1 to approach it?"
Grimm's eyes widened. This aura!
This is … the aura of the Guardian of the World of Spring, one of the two most powerful Guardians in the Sorcerer World!
Flustered, Grimm pulled Lafite, who was still at a loss, to perform the sorcerer's etiquette. Although this sapling was only a wisp of the Guardian's will, its lofty status and prestige were not something that Grimm could stand on equal footing with.
The sapling shook and said, "Hmph, it seems that you really don't know. Don't spread the information about the Eye of the World."
"Yes, sir," Grimm hurriedly said.
After a moment of hesitation, Grimm asked, "May I ask the great Guardian, my wife is just an apprentice, can …"
* Smack! *
The sapling threw a stone to Grimm and said, "Take it, it's a gift for you. No gold coins this time."
After that, the sapling shrank into the old witch's throat.
Half an hourglass later, Lefay giggled and held Grimm's hand as they walked toward the small castle by the sea. She said excitedly, "You know, that creature only had one head, and there were many tentacles below it. It floated in the air and talked to me. I was shocked at first, and then …"
