Half a month later.
After leaving the Tomb Segja Sorcerer Academy, Grimm arrived at the outskirts of the central area of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings with the Seven Rings Contract in his hand.
Under the Mask of Truth, his eyes looked at the large castle that was built halfway up the mountain. Grimm muttered to himself, "Is this the place?"
At the beginning of the war in the Shadow World, Grimm accidentally saved a female Bright Sorcerer from a pile of corpses and asked for her magic staff as a reward.
At that time, Grimm thought that the matter was over.
However, with the arrival of the Shadow Cataclysm, Grimm found out that the magic staff that he asked for was the phylactery of the female Bright Sorcerer. After the female Bright Sorcerer died, she was reborn in the phylactery in the form of the Dwarf Tinman.
On one hand, the phylactery was hidden in the magic staff, and the magic staff was Grimm's reward. It was his personal property.
On the other hand, after the female Bright Sorcerer was reborn in the phylactery, although she was no longer a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer, she was still an Arcane Sorcerer of the Sorcerer World.
In this case, Grimm could not enslave or restrain a sorcerer in any way.
Both sides fell into a logical contradiction.
As a last resort, the Dwarf Tinman signed a contract with Grimm. As long as Grimm kept her in the World Fragment of the Demon-Hunter World, he promised that Grimm would get a treasure when he returned to the Sorcerer World. All she needed was a tool for the treasure.
After that, Grimm hurriedly returned to the Sorcerer World to lift the curse of the Nightmare Shadow. When he returned to the slave market in front of the Demon-Hunter Castle, he released the Dwarf Tinman from the World Fragment of the Demon-Hunter Castle.
According to the rules of the contract, she should be waiting for him here to fulfill the contract.
Only a few years had passed, which was not a long time for a sorcerer. The Dwarf Tinman should have made some preparations.
With that thought in mind, Grimm mobilized the Force of Nature and slowly landed in front of the large castle.
Hmm?
He was surprised by the strength of the magic circle around the castle. It was not something an ordinary sorcerer could set up. It was either an advanced sorcerer or a sorcerer who specialized in magic circle research.
Creak, creak, creak …
In the courtyard of the castle, a few trees that were more than thirty meters tall slowly opened their eyes. Their branches swayed and creaked.
One of the thickest trees saw Grimm and slowly said, "Honorable … Wizard …"
The speed of the tree's speech was terrifyingly slow.
Grimm shook his head. He held the Seven Rings Contract in one hand and took out a crystal ball with the other. He transferred the Dwarf Tinman's identity information into the crystal ball.
Hiss …
When the magic was transferred, the information in the crystal ball seemed to be interfered with before it was accepted. This should be the result of the reincarnation of the other party's life box.
"Grimm, you're finally here."
In Grimm's crystal ball, a lifelike Dwarf Metallic Man appeared. This Dwarf Metallic Man was no longer the same as when Grimm had just been reincarnated in the Shadow World. He could not even walk without falling.
"Yes."
Grimm nodded and looked like a mysterious Dark Sorcerer. He said in a deep voice, "It seems like you're more anxious to complete the contract than I am."
As he spoke, the Dwarf Metallic Man flew out of the castle and towards Grimm. The guardian trees turned their heads slowly, and Grimm put away his crystal ball.
Pop! The Dwarf Metallic Man passed through the Magic Interdiction without any hindrance.
After activating his magic, the Dwarf Metallic Man released the Elemental Matching Code, and a gap appeared in the Magic Interdiction.
The Dwarf Metallic Man bowed politely and said, "Please come in."
Grimm nodded and entered the Magic Interdiction.
There was no need for a high-level sorcerer to bow to a low-level sorcerer. Now that Grimm was a Demon-Hunter, his status was obviously higher than that of the Dwarf Metallic Man.
After passing through the lush green grass, Grimm followed the Dwarf Metallic Man to the castle hall.
"Master." A little boy with black hair and green eyes, dressed in a loose sorcerer's robe, bowed to Grimm.
Grimm nodded and noticed that the little boy seemed to have activated his magic not long ago.
"Roxia, go inside and study," the Dwarf Metallic Man said indifferently.
After sending the little boy away, the Dwarf Tinman said nonchalantly, "This is the third disciple I accepted on my way back. He is quite talented."
The Dwarf Metallic Man brought Grimm to a long corridor and turned a vase on an inconspicuous cabinet in the middle of the corridor.
Creak, creak, creak …
Amidst the sound of metal gears turning, an underground passage opened up.
With a whoosh, magic lights were lit up, and the red carpet was particularly eye-catching.
The Dwarf Metallic Man led Grimm into the passage. Creak, creak … The passage closed again with the grinding sound of metal gears.
"Grimm, this is the treasure I was talking about."
The Dwarf Metallic Man jumped onto the magic test bench in the underground passage and pointed to a teapot in the middle of the test bench, which was protected by a red and green double-layered Magic Interdiction.
Grimm walked to the side of the test bench and stared at the teapot under the Mask of Truth with the help of the magic lights. "What is this?" he asked, puzzled.
The Dwarf Metallic Man smiled mysteriously and snapped her fingers. The next moment, the double-layered Magic Interdiction on the test bench disappeared.
"A spatial sorcery device! No, this sorcery device has the Despair of Humans. Could it be a Dark Sorcerer's Dark Sorcery Device? "
Grimm exclaimed.
As the Dwarf Metallic Man activated the Magic Interdiction again to conceal the Despair of Humans, Grimm looked at the Dwarf Metallic Man in confusion, waiting for her explanation.
The Dwarf Metallic Man said slowly, "This is a precious spatial sorcery device passed down from my master. It's not even an ordinary spatial sorcery device. It's a magical spatial sealing sorcery device."
A sealing sorcery device!
Of course, Grimm knew what a sealing sorcery device meant. The Green Python Thread given to him by his Third Uncle-Master was a low-quality sealing sorcery device, but its value was measured in sorcerer essences.
Legend had it that some truly powerful sealing sorcery devices were connected to some illusory spaces, such as Nightmare Realms or Dimensional Gaps.
The more powerful, fantastical, and unpredictable the illusory space was, the less it could affect the laws of the Endless World, and the less it could travel freely.
Grimm asked, "Are you saying that there's a Dark Sorcerer sealed in this sorcery device? Then why … "
"No!"
The Dwarf Metallic Man interrupted Grimm. Of course, she knew what Grimm was trying to say.
Why didn't she take the sealing sorcery device to the Holy Tower of Seven Rings to claim the reward?
"Because the Dark Sorcerer sealed in this sorcery device is my master himself. He was infected with the Despair of Humans by a Dark Sorcerer after a failed experiment. I believe that he must have been an orthodox Elemental Arcane Sorcerer when he was alive. I can't let him bear the evil name of a Dark Sorcerer. "
Infected with the Despair of Humans by a failed experiment?
How could such a thing be passed on?
Grimm looked at the Dwarf Metallic Man suspiciously.
The Dwarf Metallic Man slowly took out an experiment journal from a corner of the experiment table and handed it to Grimm.
The handwriting was a little messy, and some of the words were even written in ancient Sorcerer hieroglyphs. It was a little difficult to read, but Grimm still read on patiently …
"If this great sorcery succeeds, it will be enough for me to enter the Dawn Sages. This will be a milestone, and my name will be remembered by all future Sorcerers! I will name it 'Nocchi Ancient Rebirth Sorcery'. Yes, this is a sorcery that belongs to me. "
In the beginning, it was about a Sorcerer named Nocchi who had an idea for a sorcery and began to work on it.
This was a common occurrence for Grimm. Every Sorcerer had experienced something like this, so Grimm continued reading.
"It didn't succeed?"
"Mutual rejection?"
"Blood contamination?"
…
"Damn it, these mutants and demi-humans must be inferior creatures. It must be like this, it must be like this. There's no reason it won't succeed … Yes, I need to experiment on humans. This is the only way to prove my value, my purpose of existence, and my great wisdom …"
At this point, Grimm had been reading the experiment journal for an hourglass.
For the next two thousand years, this Sorcerer had invested all his energy and wealth into the research of this whimsical sorcery. He had carried out experiment after experiment, and every experiment had been described in detail.
However, without exception, all of the experiments had failed.
The principle behind this Nocchi Primordial Rebirth Witchcraft was to extract body parts from a series of ancient creatures and imitate the instinctive ability of a Wild Anatomy Refinery Sorcerer's Wild Transformation to perform an artificial transformation.
For example, Grimm's first Wild Nature Transformation gave him a scale defense, which was also a common ability of most Wild Physique Refinery Sorcerers.
So, the 'Nocchi Ancient Rebirth Sorcery' would transplant the scales of some creatures onto a human's body, and then use some medicine to stimulate and neutralize it, in an attempt to rely on wisdom to break some ancient degenerated seals on a human's body …
In the eyes of a Physique Refinery Sorcerer, humans who were gradually moving towards evolving wisdom were indeed degenerating compared to their ancient ancestors.
Moreover, they had degenerated to an unseemly degree.
In short, after reading this part of the experiment journal, Grimm felt that this Sorcerer was already on the verge of losing his mind and becoming perverted and stubborn.
Moreover, the latter part of the journal seemed to be interrupted for a thousand and five hundred years. It seemed that this Sorcerer had some new research ideas and had advanced to become a rank 2 Sorcerer.
A thousand and five hundred years later.
"I can't violate the rules of the Sanctum, or else I won't be able to enter the Dawn Sages. So … If I can carry out the grafting experiment on a Dark Sorcerer, I won't violate the rules of the Sanctum. Yes, that's it! "
Grimm rubbed his brows.
This old Sorcerer had actually carried out nearly four thousand years of research, and after advancing to a rank 2 Sorcerer, he risked his life to go to the Black Domain to hunt down a Dark Sorcerer?
One had to know that if the Sorcerer Continent was a treasure trove shrouded in the shadow of the Demon-Hunters to the Dark Sorcerers, then the Black Domain was a worthless hell in the eyes of the Elemental Sorcerers.
And this guy actually went to the Black Domain to hunt down a Dark Sorcerer?
As expected, he was already crazy to the point where he was terminally ill. Grimm picked up the experiment journal and continued reading.
"I will definitely succeed, I will definitely succeed! Yes, I feel great now. After I implanted the first level of the evolution system into this detestable Dark Sorcerer who is not protected by the Sanctum's rules, his fertile cells have been grafted over and successfully fused with me. This feeling, it's as if all my cells are awakening, this feeling … "
Hmm?
Grimm's breathing quickened as he quickly flipped through the experiment journal.
Could it be that this Sorcerer had really made some progress and was able to use external forces to activate his wild instincts and achieve some kind of breakthrough for human Anatomy Refinery Sorcerers?
"This world, what kind of world is this? Why has the Sorcerer World become like this? Why have I become like this …"
"No, don't do this!"
"God …"
Grimm shook his head in disappointment. This Sorcerer had obviously become a lunatic, and the failure of the experiment was attributed to God's punishment.
He was no longer a Sorcerer.
The last thing that caught Grimm's attention was the two twisted symbols on the blank page of the journal. Grimm was not sure if they were some kind of text, but it seemed to be a message left behind by the Sorcerer when he was still in his last stage of consciousness.
Closing the experiment journal, Grimm looked at the Dwarf Tinman Sorceress.
The Dwarf Tinman Sorcerer said with a hint of sadness, "Everything in this sealed space can belong to you. I only want you to remove the human Despair Aura in this teapot so that I can protect the inheritance."
Grimm understood what she meant.
She wanted him to kill the "thing" in the teapot, which had turned into an unknown form, which was her teacher's former self.
Grimm said in a deep voice, "Okay, but I need to recover from my injuries and understand more about the situation in this sealed space."
