Seven days later.
Grimm searched the laboratory of the metal castle for a full seven days. He did not miss a single corner. Only then did he activate the ruby in his hand and left the Narrow World without any direction.
All in all, he had gained far more than the lost magic staff …
A pink energy whirlpool appeared, and Grimm's body was involuntarily expelled from the sealed space of the World Fragment.
"Grimm, how are you?"
The Dwarf Tinman asked Grimm as she held a magic staff that did not fit her body. The staff was twice as tall as she was. It was obvious that after her reincarnation in the Life Box, her mental strength had dropped, making it difficult for her to cast normal sorcery spells.
"I'm fine," Grimm replied.
Then, the Seven Rings contract between Grimm and the Dwarf Tinman flashed, turning into a wisp of pure Wizard Will and dissipating.
The dwarf nodded and walked to the teapot excitedly. "After reincarnating, I only have 300 years left to live. I should be thankful that this inherited magic tool was not lost in my hands …" he said in a gratified tone.
"Caw caw caw caw, Young Master, you're finally out."
On the other side, Myna flew over from afar, flapping his wings and landing on Grimm's shoulder.
Grimm hummed in acknowledgment and nodded. After a few hourglasses of time, a delicious dinner was served under the Dwarf Tinman's warm invitation …
The next day, Grimm said goodbye to the Dwarf Tinman and flew at full speed towards the Holy Tower of Seven Rings.
The harmonious and prosperous central area of the Seven Rings was very beautiful. The population density here was much higher than the outer area of the Wizard Academy. It was a beautiful world suitable for human beings to live and reproduce.
"Whoosh!" The wind blew against his loose wizard robe, and Grimm flashed across the sky.
One month later.
At the entrance of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings' protective shield.
Grimm ignored the dozens of Arcane Sorcerers who were queuing up for inspection, and walked through the crowd step by step. Under the angry gazes of the Arcane Sorcerers in front of him and the surprised gazes of the devotees, Grimm said in a deep voice, "I'm here to surrender and accept the trial of the rules."
The crowd was in an uproar as they looked at Grimm in surprise.
At this time, some of the Arcane Sorcerers who had discovered Grimm's identity as a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer were shocked.
There were a total of four devotees present. After secretly contacting the nearby Seven Rings Guardian, one of the female devotees smiled and comforted Grimm, "As long as they are not guilty of heinous crimes, Demon-Hunter Sorcerers can pay some Sorcerer Essences to atone for their crimes. Don't worry too much."
Grimm remained silent under the Mask of Truth.
A moment later, a Seven-Ring Snail Emissary flew over. His bulging eyes looked at Grimm, and he said in a low voice, "Rank-3 Honor Badge? Come with me. "
"Yes."
Nodding his head, Grimm landed on the giant shell of the Seven Ring Snail and flew towards the Tree of Life.
The snail moved very quickly. On Grimm's shoulder, Myna cleared its throat.
"Cough cough, Young Master, do you think … if I go like this, will I be convicted as an accomplice? You know, I have never embarrassed the Steel Emblem Myna before. How about … I leave for a while? "
Grimm glanced at Myna, "Do as you wish."
"Caw, do as you wish? Haha, that's great. Take care, Young Master. "After saying that, Myna opened the Dimensional Gap and flew in.
Grimm almost choked. This guy …
The Sanctum had its own Rule Trials.
To be able to enter, one had to be a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer. This reminded Grimm of his experience of being interrogated in the sorcerer's prison after the Newcomer's Trial.
At that time, to be able to enter the sorcerer's prison as a sorcerer's apprentice, ironically, it was Grimm's "honor".
The Seven Ring Snail Emissary brought Grimm to a mysterious underground building under the Tree of Life. Demon-Hunter Sorcerers with cold and stern expressions walked in and out of the building. All of them looked at Grimm with unfriendly expressions.
High above, the words "Sorcerer's Law" were written in black ancient words.
"Surrender?"
A white-bearded sorcerer sat on a high platform and looked at Grimm. He was a Sorcerer World Guardian, and his strength was comparable to a Level-3 Great Sorcerer.
"Yes."
Grimm nodded, his voice low and disappointed.
After taking a puff from his pipe, the white-bearded sorcerer rummaged around the platform for a while before taking out a piece of parchment and handing it to Grimm, "Not bad. The Sorcerer's Will will forgive those Demon-Hunter Sorcerers who repent on their own, especially those like you who have made great sacrifices for the Sorcerer World."
The so-called great sacrifice was probably referring to the selection and training system of the Dark Sorcerers.
"Phew …"
After puffing out a ring of smoke, the white-bearded sorcerer pointed at the parchment and said, "Write down the process of your crime, your motive, and your path of repentance. I will make note of these in the Holy Tower and look for verification before giving you a fair trial."
"Yes."
Grimm picked up a quill and quickly wrote down the parchment.
From his relationship with Lefay to the fact that Lefay was wanted as a Black Sorcerer's apprentice after returning to the Sorcerer World after the Demon-Hunting Expedition, and then Hattori the Hidden's Enslavement Sorcery …
Bit by bit, Grimm recorded all of his criminal experiences and handed it to the white-bearded sorcerer.
After receiving Grimm's parchment, the white-bearded sorcerer smoked his pipe and scanned through the contents of Grimm's confession. After a while, he put away the parchment and nodded. "Yes, I will find all the verification within this period of time, and then you will be judged. During this period, you are not allowed to leave the Holy Tower of Seven Rings' protective shield for any reason. "
"Understood."
Under the guidance of a devotee, Grimm left the depressing Demon-Hunter Courtroom.
According to Grimm's knowledge, the waiting time for verification usually ranged from a few days to a few years. For someone like Grimm, it usually took about three to four months to half a year.
Back at the Demon-Hunter Castle, Grimm tried his best to calm down and arrange the tasks.
First, he organized and stored some of the specimens and experimental items he collected from the Shadow World.
After that, Grimm entered his' World Laboratory 'to look after the Golden Breedsnot Ginseng mother tree, and planted the three Golden Breedsnot Ginseng rewarded by the Black Iso Tower Stigmata Sorcerer on the island.
Some other plant specimens that did not pose any risk of conflict were also cultivated and planted on the island by Grimm one by one.
Next, Grimm began to repair some of the broken magic books he found in the Narrow World, but it was inevitable that some of them would become incomplete. Grimm sighed as he kept them in his library.
More than three months had passed since he had been busy like this.
However, it had only been a few years since Grimm returned to the Sorcerers World from the Shadow World, and Millie, who went on a Demon-Hunting Expedition with him, had not returned yet.
According to Grimm's estimation, Millie would probably need more than ten years to return from the expedition. He did not know if the two of them would go on a Demon-Hunting Expedition together again.
The closer he got to the punishment of the Prison of Seven Rings, the more oppressed, painful, and regretful Grimm's heart began to feel.
Sighing, Grimm flew all the way to the Bounty Mission Hall.
Passing through the crowd of Demon-Hunter Sorcerers who were looking around for Bounty Missions, Grimm went straight to an intelligent Mechanical Marionette at the reception desk.
The Mechanical Marionette had the appearance of a cute little girl and asked in a stiff voice, "Dear Sorcerer, how may I be of service?"
Five Sorcerer Essences flew out from Grimm's sleeve. Grimm said in a deep voice, "I want to issue a Bounty Mission for a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer who is proficient in cracking the Elemental Control Code of Sorcerer Devices. The address is Grimm's Demon-Hunter Castle."
A series of coordinates were recorded by the little girl Mechanical Marionette.
"Alright, I have received the five Sorcerer Essences as a reward. You will also need to pay a hundred Sorcerer Coins as a processing fee, or Sorcerer Essences or Sorcerer Stones."
The little girl's voice was still stiff.
Clink clink clank clank …
After a hundred Sorcerer Coins fell on the table, Grimm turned around and left.
Two days later, in Grimm's Demon-Hunter Castle, two Bright Demon-Hunter Sorcerers had left after saying that they could not crack the Elemental Control Code. The third Demon-Hunter Sorcerer had just entered the castle and saw the metal ball that Grimm had taken out. He could not help but exclaim, "The Starfall Reconnaissance Craft!"
"The Starfall Reconnaissance Craft?"
Grimm's mouth was agape as he stared at the metal ball that he had obtained from the Narrow World in disbelief.
This was the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft?
The so-called Starfall Reconnaissance Craft was the signature craft of some of the most famous and powerful Level-3 Demon-Hunter Sorcerers in the Demon-Hunter Consociation Organization.
The mission of the Reconnaissance Sorcerers was to use various methods to search for new worlds that the Sorcerer World was about to embark on a Demon-Hunter Expedition.
After finding the target world, the Reconnaissance Sorcerers had to collect information from the unexplored world. They also had to carry out special missions in sensitive areas of the world in order to provide the accurate coordinates of the Sorcerer World's Void Fortress.
Often, these sensitive areas would have unusual rules of the world, thus attracting the attention of the powerful creatures in the local world.
In short, the Reconnaissance Sorcerers' mission was unimaginably dangerous, and it was the most common way for Demon-Hunter Sorcerers to earn a Rank-1 Honor Badge.
After all, no matter how difficult the Reconnaissance Sorcerers' mission was, compared to killing a World Lord and subverting a Demon-Hunter Expedition mission, it was still relatively more realistic.
Due to the special nature of the profession, the Reconnaissance Sorcerers' flying craft not only had the ability to resist the destructive force of the void, but also had the ability to reach an astonishing speed.
Normally, a sorcerer's flying craft would reach its maximum speed in a few hourglasses or a few days, and from then on, it would be able to travel around the world.
However, the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft would require a few months or even a few years to reach its unimaginable speed, allowing the Reconnaissance Sorcerer to travel through the endless void.
The Bright Demon-Hunter Sorcerer looked at Grimm with a serious expression, and said in a low voice, "I need you to add five Sorcerer Essences on top of the reward for the mission. This Starfall Reconnaissance Craft's elemental code cracking is not a modern sorcerer's structure, so it's obvious that this is an ancient one. "
"Alright!"
Grimm agreed without hesitation.
