Whoosh!
Grimm landed alone on the plaza of the Hexagonal Building of the Dark Demon-Hunter Sorcerer Headquarters. There were only about seven to eight thousand Dark Demon-Hunter Sorcerers gathered at the plaza.
More and more Demon-Hunter Sorcerers were gathering from all directions.
He chose to land at a place where the Dark Sorcerers were relatively sparse. Grimm wore a greyish-white spiral Mask of Truth on his head, a loose dark gray sorcerer's robe, and held the Sabbatic Goat Staff in his hand. A beautiful fat Myna with alternating red and green feathers perched on his shoulder, looking tired and listless as it yawned.
One side of his eyes was a frosty azure blue, while the other was a fiery crimson. The Mask of Truth emitted a faint halo. Grimm became one of the inconspicuous Dark Sorcerers.
A Dark Sorcerer nearby looked at Grimm. This was a Level-1 Dark Sorcerer. Grimm also looked at him.
He had a crooked magic staff that resembled the roots of an old tree, a stooped body, and a brownish-yellow cat with long curly hair on his shoulder. The cat had a pair of emerald eyes.
It was obvious that the Honor Badge on Grimm's sorcerer barrier had startled the Sorcerer. His heart skipped a beat, and he took the initiative to greet Grimm as a sorcerer.
Nodding his head, Grimm returned a simple greeting.
As time passed, low-level sorcerers who landed beside Grimm continued to greet Grimm. More and more Dark Demon-Hunter Sorcerers were gathering. Suddenly, a mechanical marionette flew towards Grimm from mid-air.
"Dear Sorcerer, you have a Level-3 Demon Hunter Honor Badge. You have priority to board the Void Fortress for the expedition. Do you wish to board first?"
Grimm was stunned. The Demon Hunter Honor Badge had such an advantage?
Without hesitation, Grimm nodded and said, "Yes."
With a click, the mechanical marionette landed on the rooftop. It led Grimm through the crowd of Dark Sorcerers and walked towards another direction.
After a short while.
Grimm stood on a five-meter-long flying bird slave covered in fine silver-white scales. With a "whoosh" sound, he turned into a blur and flew straight up into the sky, breaking through the Seven Rings' defensive barrier and the clouds without any hindrance.
A short while later, Grimm arrived above the sea of clouds.
Immediately after, the humongous hemispherical Void Fortress that was emitting a cold blood-red light above the clouds suddenly appeared in front of them. The clouds under the fortress were even pushed away by the pressure it emitted, like a blood-red moon hanging high in the sky.
Although the Origin Void Fortress seemed to be right in front of them, it was actually very far away because it was simply too big.
Three hundred meter long shark-shaped voidships were currently bustling about in an orderly manner, flying into the space stronghold through the opened hatches at the base of the space stronghold.
Further above the clouds, there were three other Void Fortresses waiting quietly, awaiting the arrival of new demon-hunting expeditions in the future.
The silver-scaled bird was extremely fast, drawing a ripple above the relatively calm surface of the clouds.
Further away in the sky, there was the Sorcerers World's unique World Law of the Firmament Water Curtain that blocked the Void Energy Erosion.
And between the Firmament Water Curtain and the sea of clouds, there was the Sorcerers World's Energy Vacuum Layer that replaced the Foreign World's Chaotic Layer.
"Hmm? This Void Fortress is much bigger than the last one. "Grimm muttered to himself.
As the silver-scaled bird got closer to the Void Fortress, gradually, Grimm noticed that the size and scale of this Void Fortress seemed to be far greater than the Void Fortress that he had once used in the Shadow World expedition.
The Void Fortress of the Shadow World expedition only had a diameter of a little more than ten thousand meters. But now, the diameter of this Void Fortress was already a full twenty thousand meters!
The diameter was almost twice as large, and the fortress was an irregular hemispherical shape, so the volume was relatively ten times larger!
Which Stigmata Sorcerer ordered this Void Fortress?
And what kind of world was the foreign world that they were going to go on this expedition?
Slightly uneasy, Grimm rode the silver-scaled bird, and after a short while, he landed on the square of the Void Fortress.
Click!
Grimm's feet stepped on the huge and spacious metal ground of the Void Fortress square. In the huge square, there were about six to seven thousand people gathered in the center, but there were also Demon-Hunters like Grimm joining the crowd.
After throwing a piece of Fire Quartz to the silver-scaled bird, Grimm's eyes flashed under the Mask of Truth. He held the Sabbatic Goat Staff and walked step by step towards the crowd where the crowd was gathered.
Among the six to seven thousand people, only a small portion were Level-2 Dark Demon-Hunters, or Level-1 Dark Demon-Hunters with Honor Badges. Most of them were Bright Demon-Hunter Sorcerer captains.
Grimm silently observed these Demon-Hunter Sorcerers.
One by one, the Dark Demon-Hunter Sorcerers stood still, crystal balls floating in front of them, reflecting some information about their Demon-Hunting expedition.
There was a continuous stream of Bright Demon-Hunter Sorcerers patrolling in front of these Dark Demon-Hunter Sorcerers, and from time to time, some Bright Sorcerers would take the initiative to talk to the Dark Sorcerers, leaving behind some contact information.
"Hmm? This is … "
In the midst of his confusion, Grimm suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Was this the reason why some Level-2 Dark Sorcerers could determine certain dangerous situations during a Demon-Hunting expedition and call for support from Bright Sorcerers phalanxes, or even expeditionary Voidships?
After pondering for a while, Grimm took out his crystal ball and played some of the mission records of the Shadow Enigmatic World expedition. He then joined the group of Dark Sorcerers who looked like they were waiting to be sold.
The Bright Sorcerers choosing Dark Sorcerers was in itself a form of scrutinizing and responsible attitude.
From the perspective of a Dark Sorcerer, the Bright Sorcerers were their own external aid. But in reality, from the perspective of the entire Demon-Hunting expedition, the Dark Sorcerers were merely special forces that effectively coordinated with the Bright Sorcerers in terms of combat power.
Generally speaking, the things that the Dark Sorcerers could not handle were likely to involve some relatively dangerous missions.
If the Bright Sorcerer captains here left behind too little information, they would not be able to guarantee the benefits of this expedition.
However, if they left too much information, there was a high possibility that unexpected situations would occur, causing their teammates to fall into danger, or wasting time on some low-level missions.
Every Bright Sorcerer captains had to weigh the pros and cons carefully.
Generally speaking, the Dark Sorcerers chosen by the Voidship captains were generally stronger and more powerful Dark Demon-Hunter Sorcerers who were likely to encounter more dangerous situations. This way, they would be able to obtain higher rewards easily. On the other hand, the Bright Sorcerer captains were relatively less dangerous.
There were Bright Demon-Hunter Sorcerers walking past Grimm one after another.
Most of the Bright Demon-Hunter Sorcerers did not stop in front of a Level-1 Dark Sorcerer. A few Bright Sorcerers who looked at the Shadow Enigmatic World mission image in Grimm's crystal ball were only slightly surprised by this Dark Demon-Hunter Sorcerer who had only experienced one expedition.
But similarly, these Bright Sorcerers shook their heads and did not choose to leave any contact information for Grimm.
Indeed, from the experience of Grimm obtaining a Rank-3 Honor Badge in one Demon-Hunting Expedition, it seemed that there was too much luck involved in it.
As the number of Bright and Dark Sorcerers gathered in the Fortress Square increased, when it reached the scale of ten thousand people, there were no more Demon-Hunter Sorcerers joining.
A full two hourglasses had passed.
One by one, the Bright Sorcerers and Dark Sorcerers had dispersed. It seemed that they had completed their respective objectives and were waiting for the Fortress Battle Command to distribute the Null World Stone.
With the Null World Stone, the elite Dark Demon-Hunter Sorcerers and the Bright Demon-Hunter Sorcerer captains could use the Null World Stone as the price to conduct ultra-long-distance communication.
However, there were still a small number of Bright and Dark Demon-Hunter Sorcerers who had not completed their objectives. Grimm was one of them.
Just as Grimm was feeling a little depressed, a female Bright Sorcerer finally stopped in front of Grimm. When Grimm looked at her, he was stunned under the Mask of Truth.
It's her!?
This female Demon-Hunter Sorcerer turned out to be Julni, the green-eyed sorceress from the Bright Sorcerer's camp during the sorcerer-apprentice district war. Later on, both of them were heading to the Holy Tower of Seven Rings together. Under the guidance of their respective mentors, they met on the balloon airship and traded the Mechanical Heart with him.
Now, coincidentally, both of them were participating in this Demon-Hunting Expedition.
"Grimm?"
The slightly aged Julni exclaimed in surprise and said, "You've actually received an Honor Badge? You should be the same as me, only participating in a Demon-Hunting Expedition mission. "
Grimm suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and said in a low voice, "It's just luck."
After a pause, Grimm looked at the floating crystal ball in front of Julni and said with slight envy, "You, on the other hand, have actually become the captain of a small team of twenty-five people."
Shaking her head, Julni said leisurely, "It's only because of our past friendship and trust, the members are all sorcerers who advanced in the same batch in my academy. That's why we formed a small phalanx. Hmm, in that case … since both of our mentors can form a good complementary contract, I think I don't need to leave you any more contact information. "
Although the other party's phalanx of twenty-five people was almost at the bottom of the phalanx among the Bright Sorcerers, this was the first time Grimm truly enjoyed this kind of authority.
Nodding, Grimm said, "Of course not."
The two of them talked for a short while. Although there was no friendship between the two of them, it was quite convenient because they had some social relations.
After half an hourglass, the gathered Bright Sorcerers and Dark Sorcerers had completely dispersed. Grimm also did not meet any Bright Sorcerer captain who was paying attention to him.
After the boredom had subsided, the first batch of mechanical bees, giant aircrafts, and flying beasts carried squads of Bright Sorcerers and Dark Sorcerers towards the Void Fortress. Dozens of Fortress Battle Command Sorcerers distributed three Null World Stones to everyone as a welfare. Grimm was absent-minded when he saw a few familiar faces and was stunned.
At the same time, these few people also noticed Grimm in their free time.
Third Ghostpepper, Kuryak, Roqhiroo, Gabriel, the Demon-Hunter Sorcerer with the burning robe, and two other unfamiliar Dark Demon-Hunter Sorcerers. These seven Dark Demon-Hunter Sorcerers who once fought for the Demon-Hunter Consociation had now formed a team to participate in this Demon-Hunting Expedition!?
