On the 79th floor of the Black Iso Tower.
Grimm stood in front of Master Norris, who had just opened the door. He lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "Master, I need your help."
Help?
"Uh … Grimm, come in first."
Norris was stunned for a moment, and then he invited Grimm into the room. In the hall, Alice was holding Garnigel and combing its fur.
"Well, Grimm is back. Have a seat." Alice greeted Grimm. She kindly gestured for Grimm to sit on the sofa in an amiable manner.
Grimm forced a smile, nodded to Alice, and sat on the sofa opposite Alice respectfully.
Garnigel lay in Alice's arms and stretched lazily. Then, it asked, "Grimm, what's going on? Didn't you go to find your little lover? Why did you come back in such a hurry? "
Norris also sat on the sofa beside Alice. He looked at Grimm and asked seriously, "Tell me, Grimm. What's going on? What do you need my help with?"
Norris knew that Grimm was an orthodox dark sorcerer. He was very independent and would never ask for help under normal circumstances.
He was slightly out of breath. He had used too much magic power in rushing back, but now he was recovering in Grimm's rest. Traces of elemental power gathered towards Grimm from all directions.
Because of this, Garnigel could see that Grimm was in a hurry and tired.
Pursing his dry lips, Grimm said word by word, "My wife, Lefay, was implanted with a parasitic worm by a dark sorcerer, Hattori the Hidden, who is wanted by the Holy Tower of Seven Rings. I need the academy to launch a mission to find Hattori the Hidden and ask him to remove the parasitic worm from my wife's body."
After a pause, Grimm continued, "I'm willing to agree to any of his conditions."
Grimm didn't announce his bottom line.
Norris' wrinkled face, which looked like a sutured ball, slightly changed, "Deal with a dark wizard? Grimm, you better think it through! "
"Mentor, please help me!"
Grimm lowered his head and pleaded.
Garnigel leaped from Alice to the coffee table. It stared at Grimm with its emerald eyes and said, "Grimm, it's going to be difficult for you. Hattori the Hidden has attracted the attention of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings, and they've issued a Demon-Hunting Consociation Mission!"
Demon Hunter Consociation?
Grimm recalled that unlike the Dawn Sages, which was formed after the First Civilization War as a group of Bright Sorcerers, the Demon-Hunting Conscription Organization was formed after the Second Civilization War in the Sorcerers World. Its main members were the elites among the Dark Sorcerers.
The Dawn Sages had inherited the mentality of the Sorcerer World's first civilizational war, which focused on self-defense and continuous expansion.
As for the Demon-Hunting Consociation, it nurtured many invading sorcerers who explored the coordinates of unknown worlds. Among them, the most famous was a large number of Level-3 Reconnaissance Sorcerers.
Grimm's senior, Secluded Spring, was a member of the Demon-Hunting Consociation.
The Demon-Hunting Consociation was usually randomly assigned to Level-1, Level-2, and Level-3 elite Demon-Hunting Sorcerers. Only those who passed the test would officially enter this powerful sorcerer organization.
As for Grimm himself, because he had obtained a Rank-3 Honor Badge, he was already qualified to take the test.
Grimm lowered his head and said firmly, "No matter how difficult it is, I'll do my best to save Lefay's life."
"Hmph …"
Norris said coldly and solemnly, "Grimm, are you sure you want to violate the Holy Tower's rules and make a deal with a dark wizard in the Sorcerer Continent? You won't regret it? "
"Yes."
Under the Mask of Truth, Grimm's eyes were fearless. It seemed that he didn't change his mind because of Norris.
However, Norris's face gradually relaxed and he nodded. He looked at the water in the cup on the table and seemed to be lost in memories. A long time ago …
After a while, Norris suddenly raised his head and patted Grimm's shoulder.
Under Grimm's astonishment, Norris sighed and said, "As your mentor, I have to warn you and even stop your foolish behavior. If it were a few hundred years ago, before Hattori the Hidden died, you wouldn't have been able to leave the Black Iso Tower. But now … "
Norris paused, and there was a trace of relief in his regret.
"However, as a Peak Rank 3 Sorcerer, I want to tell you to go out and explore the world. Walk a life that belongs to you."
Grimm's eyes widened.
At this moment, Grimm felt that he could read Norris's eyes.
Norris's eyes were radiating light and heat. It seemed to be telling Grimm that Grimm was no longer the shadow that lived behind Senior Sister Secluded Spring.
At this moment, in Norris's eyes, Grimm was a wizard with his own independent will and unlimited potential.
"Meow. Grimm, if one day you try to become a Stigmata Sorcerer, you should have no problem with your heart's tribulation.
Good foresight and wisdom. "Garnigel scratched an itch on the table and continued," But after this, prepare to spend a few hundred years in the Prison of the Seven Rings. The Holy Tower will never forgive a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer and a Dark Sorcerer on the continent. "
In order to make up for his regret and let Lefay spend the last ten years of his life, he would give up hundreds of years of Grimm's life?
In the eyes of a Dark Sorcerer's cold wisdom, this was undoubtedly a stupid decision.
Even Grimm, who was originally full of confidence, could not help but hesitate when the time came.
This was an indescribably painful choice, incomparably torturous.
Foresight and wisdom?
After becoming an official sorcerer, Grimm had not even fully adapted to the vision of this life. How could he talk about foresight and wisdom?
One minute, two minutes, three minutes …
After a full quarter of an hour, Grimm raised his head and said in a painful but firm voice, "Yes, I have decided. This is the choice of my life's will!"
The moment he said this, Grimm actually felt his body relax.
This feeling was like the countless cells in the body gathering will and the main soul's emotions to fight.
The cold and ruthless gathering will of the cells was naturally based on the self.
If Grimm were to be imprisoned because of this "stupid" decision, it would inevitably affect the life evolution process of these cells. Therefore, they were trying their best to resist, releasing all kinds of instinctive life emotions.
However, the emotion of Grimm's soul was telling Grimm that this decision was the embodiment of the value of his life.
If a life always chose the best path and abandoned its own emotions, then it would no longer have its own so-called fate. It would only be an insignificant cog in the endless operating rules of the world.
Fate was an infinitely unknown possibility amidst the uncertain factors.
This was the supreme rule that played with the rules!
"Haha! Good! Grimm, maybe your soul doesn't belong to the Dark Sorcerer, and the Bright Sorcerer is actually your nature. One day in the future, you will have more opportunities to surpass me and your senior sister Secluded Spring, and step toward a higher life level of the Stigmata Sorcerers! "
Norris laughed out loud, and even looked at Grimm with a trace of gratification.
Although Glenn was barely at the same level of life as Norris, he couldn't understand the meaning of Norris' words at this moment.
After all, Grimm was only half a step into becoming a formal sorcerer, while Norris had reached the peak of formal sorcerer, and was trying to spy on the level of the Stigmata Sorcerers.
"Grimm, let's go. I'll bring you downstairs to find that old lady. You must have her share the information on Hattori the Hidden with you. These days, she has used the school to collect a lot of information for her disciple, Gabriel. "
A moment later.
Knock, knock, knock.
On the 78th floor of the Black Iso Tower, Norris and Grimm knocked on the door and waited quietly.
Creak …
The wooden door opened, and a face that looked like that of a newborn baby appeared. After looking at Norris, the dean looked at Grimm in surprise.
"Grimm?"
After Grimm had won the Holy Tower Competition, the dean had seen Grimm at the candlelight banquet. Naturally, she had some impression of Grimm's aura.
"Master."
Grimm respectfully saluted the sorcerer's etiquette and followed Norris into the headmistress's room under the guidance of the headmistress.
Hmm?
This guy …
Naturally, Grimm and the black-robed sorcerer on the sofa were attracted to each other. Both of them stared at each other, as if they could feel the waves of energy coming from each other's Demon Hunter Badge, and … the other's super strong physique compared to a Level 1 sorcerer.
Norris sat on the sofa and pointed at Grimm. He looked at the dean and said, "My disciple, Grimm, has no interest in this Demon Hunter Consociation, but he must share the information on Hattori the Hidden with Gabriel to gain experience."
Norris's words were very vague.
The dean and Gabriel looked at each other …
After a while, Gabriel let out a low laugh after whispering with the headmistress. He looked at Grimm with confidence and pride.
Grimm was wearing a loose gray sorcerer's robe and the Mask of Truth. There was nothing special about him.
"Since you are a student with potential, and Master Norris said that you have no interest in participating in the Demon Hunter Consociation, then we are no longer competitors. Follow me in a few days."
Then, Gabriel's sorcerer barrier flashed, and two Rank 3 Demon Hunter Honor Badges appeared.
This was a display of strength, and also a demonstration of power.
Green lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Okay."
