* Knock! Knock! Knock! *
Half a month later, a knock on the door of the Demon-Hunter Castle jolted Grimm out of his meditative state in the library.
He furrowed his brows.
Sorcerers would usually inform each other through a crystal ball, unless it was a stranger visiting.
Placing the tattered book that he had retrieved from the Narrow World back onto the shelf, Grimm flew down from the third floor of the Demon-Hunter Castle. After deactivating the magical barrier, he opened the castle door with a creak.
"You …"
Grimm's body trembled under the Mandala Robe. His eyes beneath the Mask of Truth stared straight at the Level-3 Great Sorcerer who had suddenly paid a visit.
A loose Sorcerer's robe, a wrinkled old face …
Grimm would never forget this Level-3 Great Sorcerer. He was the invigilator of the Demon-Hunter Consociation mission who had carried the head of the Dark Sorcerer Hattori the Hidden at the Jewel Sea three hundred and fifty years ago!
Taking a deep breath, Grimm suppressed the pain in his heart and bowed his head in the Sorcerer's etiquette.
"May I know what brings you here, Master?"
No matter how much pain and unhappiness they felt, a low-level Sorcerer had to maintain absolute respect when facing a high-level Sorcerer. This was one of the basic rules of the Sorcerer World.
"Hehe, Grimm, I was right about you!"
The old Sorcerer's fiery eyes stared straight at Grimm. His eyes were filled with an indescribable admiration. His lips curled into a satisfied smile, revealing a few neat white teeth.
As he spoke, the old Sorcerer took out a blood-red scroll from his Sorcerer's robe and passed it to Grimm with both hands.
"The Demon-Hunter Consociation is the gathering place for all the elites of the Dark Sorcerers. Your Rank-3 Honor Badge as a Level-1 Demon-Hunter Sorcerer is already on the organization's list of records. Previously, you did an outstanding job in disrupting the Demon-Hunter Consociation mission of Third Ghostpepper, Gabriel, Kuryak, Roqhiroo, Clive, Jorjinz, and Arlong. I have already submitted your information to the organization … "
The old Sorcerer stroked his beard, his eyes filled with fervent anticipation.
"But even I didn't expect you to complete a Level-1 Demon Hunting Mission in this Demon-Hunting Expedition and obtain a Rank-1 Honor Badge! This time, I'm not the only one who thinks highly of you. Even the higher-ups of the organization stationed at the Holy Tower of Seven Rings have begun to pay close attention to you. We've checked all the records of your Demon-Hunting Expeditions. It's simply unbelievable that a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer with only two Demon-Hunting Expeditions actually has a Rank-1 Honor Badge! "
In the face of the old sorcerer's almost enthusiastic words of praise, Grimm remained silent and did not speak.
With the Sabbatic Goat Staff in one hand and the Crimson Quest Scroll in the other, Grimm lowered his head, as if trying to hide the pain in his heart.
The old wizard thought that Grimm was too excited.
He had issued too many missions like this. To a Dark Sorcerer, joining the Demon Hunter Consociation was like a sorcerer's apprentice yearning to become a Demon Hunter Sorcerer. It was as if this was the meaning of pursuing the path of a sorcerer. It was a joyous and exciting moment.
It was as if the Sanctum had fought and defeated all its opponents.
When he issued the missions, some Dark Demon-Hunter Sorcerers were so excited that they could not speak clearly, and some were so excited that they could not speak. It was a common sight.
The old sorcerer smiled and said, "Go, Demon-Hunter Sorcerer Grimm. Go and complete the mission assessment that the Demon Hunter Consociation has assigned to you. As long as you complete this mission, you will have the honor of joining one of the four major White Robe Sorcerer Organizations in the Sorcerer World, the great Demon Hunter Consociation! "
As he spoke, the old sorcerer smiled happily. He stepped on a dark elemental cloud and left Grimm's Demon-Hunter Castle.
Creak …
Bang!
After closing the castle gate, Grimm quietly walked to the dissection lab on the third floor. With a whoosh, the Demon Hunter Consociation Scarlet Quest Scroll in his hand was ignited into a ball of flame.
This so-called honor of joining the Demon Hunter Consociation?
Leave it to someone else …
On the dissection lab on the third floor, an Acraepoid corpse that was one and a half meters tall was placed on the table. The corpse had been thoroughly dissected by Grimm.
From the biological structure, growth characteristics, physiological characteristics, thinking logic, and artistic behavior, Grimm had conducted a series of detailed analysis on the Acraepoid specimen. It was as if he was a sorcerer's apprentice dissecting a frog on a lab table.
Not only did Grimm conduct a series of analysis on the body of the Acraepoid named Sungta, but he also dissected the soul sealed in the energy crystal. He even simulated the embryonic form of the Infernal Spirit Power.
These were all important information. It was the basic information that Grimm intended to invite Millie, Claudia, Sam, and Wicky as the team leader.
As for the special care of the Black Iso Tower's Stigmata Sorcerer, it was a prerequisite.
Picking up the sharp blade, Grimm continued his research on the Acraepoid's wings. He cut off a piece of tissue between the cartilage and the stratum corneum, and put it under the microscope to observe.
He let out a sigh.
"Sigh … I've made a mistake. I didn't expect that the true secret of the Acraepoid's Infernal Spirit Swordsmanship is that every Acraepoid carries a blade with them. Is it like the relationship between an Elemental Sorcerer and a Symbiotic Insect?"
The Acraepoid specimen that the Black Iso Tower Stigmata Sorcerer handed to Grimm did not have a blade.
…
Half a month later.
Grimm contacted Millie, Wicky, and Claudia through the crystal ball. One after another, they arrived at Grimm's Demon-Hunter Castle. Only Sam, who had yet to return from his Demon-Hunting expedition, could not be contacted.
The four of them surrounded the dissection lab table of the Acraepoid specimen. After observing the specimen for a while, they focused their attention on Grimm.
The grayish-white spiral Mask of Truth, the Sabbatic Goat Staff, and the sand-like mandala robe. The magical aura on Grimm seemed to have grown stronger.
The Sabbatic Goat Staff melted into his body, and the Sabbatic Goat Staff turned into a pauldron.
Grimm pointed at the half-preserved Acraepoid specimen on the lab table. The other half had been dissected according to its physiological structure. He said in a low voice, "This specimen is the Acraepoid that I've told you about. Their social structure is the Infernal Spirit Swordsmanship. The World Lord has the ability to control soul slaves, open the World Gate with the souls of foreign lives, and communicate with the souls of powerful beings from distant unknown worlds. "
"The Infernal Spirit Swordsmanship, using the will of the soul to control the power of flame?"
The blue sorcerer's robe exuded waves of cold air. The elemental energy that lingered around it formed the shape of illusory ice phoenixes and whirlpools. A pair of cold, clear eyes with complicated emotions looked at Grimm and asked.
They had not seen each other for more than a hundred years. Millie looked the same, but the coldness on her body had become more intense.
Through the Ice Marrow Crystallization on her forehead, both of them felt an inexplicable connection with each other, just like how Grimm and Mina's Body of Flame were attracted to each other in the past.
Grimm sighed. "It's my mistake. I didn't expect that the focus of this species was not on its physiological structure and physique, but on its soul and the blade in its hand. I already have detailed information on the soul, but I don't have a specific specimen to analyze the blade. "
Millie nodded. She took out the crystal ball that Grimm had given to each of them and began to read it carefully.
"Sir Grimm's invitation to join the Demon-Hunting Expedition has really surprised me."
Claudia was like a seductive fairy. Her graceful and enchanting body revealed a large portion of her snow-white skin. Her red scorpion skirt revealed a large portion of her snow-white breasts.
Claudia's eyes wandered, and her red lips curled into an inexplicable smile.
"I vaguely remember when I participated in the Holy Tower Qualification Battle with Sir Grimm. Sir Grimm's glory when he swept across the five regions is truly unforgettable. I wonder if Sir Grimm's glory has not diminished after hundreds of years?"
Grimm smiled at Claudia.
Once upon a time, Grimm was inexplicably wary of this sorceress. However, after a hundred years in the Seven Rings Prison, looking at Claudia who came to greet him among the five of them, his heart was suddenly touched, and the wariness he once had was slightly lowered.
"A mere Level-1 Dark Demon-Hunter Sorcerer, even with the great Black Iso Tower Stigmata Sorcerer's help, is but an insignificant grain of sand in the Demon-Hunting Expedition. What glory is there to speak of?"
On the other side.
He had protruding cheekbones and a stiff stubble on his chin. His wise and sharp eyes carried a hint of calmness and steadiness. He wore a golden crown on top of his black hair and was clad in metal armor.
Wicky's huge arms were like granite hugging him. A sense of heaviness like that of a mountain pounced on him.
"Hmm? Grimm, it seems that your achievements in Anatomy Refinement have not fallen behind. "
Wicky did not pay too much attention to the biological specimen on the experiment table. His sorcerer's path had gradually begun to deviate from the traditional path of an Elemental Sorcerer.
Millie and Claudia had already expressed their intentions towards Grimm. They expressed their willingness to join the Dark Demon-Hunting Expedition team that Grimm had formed. Only this powerful Anatomy Refinement Sorcerer who had mastered her own unique sorcery only expressed her willingness to come and take a look.
"So, are you willing to join?"
Grimm asked directly.
Wicky laughed and asked, "Grimm, you said that the Black Iso Tower Stigmata Sorcerer would give you special care. You said that as long as we help you successfully obtain the Infernal Spirit Scriptures from the Temple of the First Acraepoid God, he would pay each of us a hundred Sorcerer Essences, and that it would be done in the form of a Seven Rings Contract. I want to know, why would the Black Iso Tower Stigmata Sorcerer give you special care? "
Under the Mask of Truth, Grimm glanced at Wicky and slowly took out a scroll from his chest.
"Rank-1 Honor Badge!?"
Not only Wicky, but even Milly and Claudia let out cries of disbelief.
