Thirty years later.
The continuous roar of the Demon-Hunter Castle had become the main melody of Grimm's laboratory. The occasional pause was to record experiments and complete the third phase of the Mask of Truth project, also known as Project Eagle's Eye.
One day, Grimm suddenly took out a crystal ball. After connecting the call, Norris's wizened, hideous, and terrifying face appeared.
"Grimm, we've arrived at the Tree of Life of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings. Where are the coordinates of your Demon-Hunter Castle?"
Behind Norris was Vivian, who looked excited and joyful. Her expression was like that of Grimm when he first left the twelve academies under Norris's guidance.
"Third Brother, I've become a trainee Demon-Hunter Sorcerer and obtained the qualification to study at the Holy Tower of Seven Rings."
A trainee Demon-Hunter Sorcerer was a sorcerer-apprentice who passed the Holy Tower's qualification battle.
Except for the top sorcerer-apprentice who went directly to the World-Core and relied on the World-Core fragment to become an official sorcerer, other sorcerer-apprentices had a high chance of becoming an official sorcerer due to their high aptitude and special conditions within the Holy Tower. However, there was no guarantee that they would succeed.
For example, Grimm's Relative Space Boundary Talent, Kyrie, failed to become an official sorcerer after entering the Holy Tower of Seven Rings, and Grimm never saw him again.
"Huh? The Holy Tower's qualification battle is over? That's fast. "
Grimm was only halfway through his experiments with more than 300,000 basic materials. Apart from the rapid growth of his understanding of the nature of materials, there was no progress in finding materials that could contain destructive energy.
There were only densely packed red crosses on his experiment notes.
For Grimm, thirty years seemed like just yesterday. He had just left the Black Iso Tower and returned to his Demon-Hunter Castle.
But for Vivian, half of her life had passed. Too many things had happened during this period. She had changed from a youthful infatuation to a steady and mature person.
Gradually adapting to the rules of sorcerer-apprenticeship, she suddenly discovered the wider world outside of the six academies. For a moment, she was shocked and could not accept it.
Over the years, Vivian had gained her own nickname, the Light of Death, just like Grimm's Ashen Mask when he was a sorcerer-apprentice.
Grimm smiled at Vivian with his handsome face. He looked at Norris and told him the coordinates of his Demon-Hunter Castle.
After closing the crystal ball, Grimm shouted towards the second floor.
"Little Eight, don't sleep anymore. Hurry up and get ready to welcome the teacher!"
…
Half an hourglass later, Norris and Vivian landed in front of Grimm's Demon-Hunter Castle.
"Third Brother."
Vivian descended from a Wind Bird with a pair of wings of light flapping incessantly behind her.
"Well, congratulations on becoming a reserve Demon-Hunter Sorcerer."
After replying to Vivian, Green bowed to Norris with his head held high.
"Teacher, how was the Black Isotta Academy's Holy Tower Qualification Battle?"
Norris handed over forty sorcerer essences to Grimm and said calmly, "Among the sorcerer-apprentices you guided 55 years ago, four of Ukudali's sons passed the Holy Tower Qualification Battle. This is your reward for guiding them. As for the academy's results this time, it's not bad. It's a pity that the Peak Sorcerer-Apprentice was taken by a little guy from the 11th District. "
Nodding, Grimm put away the sorcerer essences and welcomed the two into his Demon-Hunter Castle.
Norris and Vivian looked curiously at the two 15-meter-tall Destructive Energy Recorders in the hall. Vivian was shocked.
"Senior, what is this? Your experiment device? "
Vivian turned around and asked.
Little Eight landed on Vivian's shoulder and pointed at the Destructive Energy Recorders with her wings. She answered first, "Caw, caw, caw, caw. This is an experiment device invented by Young Master Grimm. It contains a high level of wisdom even among official sorcerers. You'll know when you become an official sorcerer. Caw, caw, caw."
Norris also walked around Grimm's Demon-Hunter Castle. He frowned and said, "You're alone? Why don't you have a servant? "
Glenn's face was full of shame.
His original plan was to recruit a legendary knight or buy an advanced intelligent mechanical marionette to take care of his daily life after returning from the Black Isotta Tower.
However, he was too focused on the Destructive Energy experiment in the Demon-Hunter Castle and had no time to care about those things.
Grimm didn't care, but Little Eight came to Millie's house every day to eat.
Grimm smiled to hide his embarrassment. "I'm used to being alone."
"Hahahaha …"
Norris smiled with satisfaction. "Grimm, after all these years, you're still as diligent as before. But sorcerers are also human beings. We should learn to enjoy ourselves when it's time. Look at me. I knew your master's wife was the gourmet Mori. Without hesitation, I decided to take her home and raise her … "
After that, Norris sat on the sofa and took a sip of the fragrant tea prepared by Grimm.
"Alright, take Vivian around. If she doesn't become an official sorcerer, she won't be able to come out of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings."
Norris waved his hand, indicating that Grimm didn't need to care about him.
"What are you talking about? Vivian is so smart. She can definitely become an official sorcerer."
Grimm smiled. After thinking for a while, he said to Vivian, "Let's go. I'll take you to my World Laboratory."
World Laboratory?
Vivian opened her eyes wide, full of expectation. She followed Grimm to the top floor of the Demon-Hunter Castle.
"Caw, caw, caw. Young Master, those little things are planning to seal you. I heard about it some time ago."
On the Demon-Hunter Altar, Little Eight, who was standing on Vivian's shoulder, said proudly. Vivian was startled. She looked at Grimm and exclaimed, "Seal?"
For Sorcerer-Apprentices, sealing techniques were too mysterious and unspeakable. Only those Sorcerer-Apprentices who had reached the pinnacle of perfection were able to grasp some superficial knowledge of it.
Grimm shook his head and smiled.
Those Raindew Flower spirits in the World Laboratory were just living beings that depended on the Golden Breedsnot Ginseng.
With the surge of magic, the space distorted. The next moment, Grimm appeared at the crack of the World Laboratory. Vivian looked a little dizzy and uncomfortable.
"Ah! The Great Sorcerer Demon King is here again. He took away all the holy fruits of the holy tree last time. Sir was so ashamed that he vomited blood and died. We, the great Raindew Flower spirits, will not let him have his way again, even if we have to fight to the last man! "
"Damn, but we've only completed a small part of the Sacred World Seal …"
"Sob sob sob, the Great Sorcerer Demon King has brought his devil's claws. We are no match for him. Is there no hope for the Raindew Flower world?"
Boom …
With an Elemental Shock, a large number of Raindew Flower spirits fainted. Grimm brought the dumbfounded Vivian to the side of the two unpicked Golden Breedsnot Ginseng trees. After a round, he plucked a crying Golden Breedsnot Ginseng and handed it to Vivian.
"Senior, what's this fruit called?"
Vivian held the Golden Breedsnot Ginseng with both hands and asked curiously. The golden fruit was like a child and was very cute.
"Golden Breedsnot Ginseng. These are three trees that were transplanted from the secret realm of the Black Iso Tower."
After hearing Grimm's answer, Vivian seemed to recall her experience in the secret realm of the Black Iso Tower. Compared to Third Senior, who actually transplanted three trees …
"Oh."
* Crunch! *
Vivian immediately picked up the Golden Breedsnot Ginseng and tasted it. With a crunch, the crying sound of the Golden Breedsnot Ginseng stopped. Only the sound of Vivian chewing the Golden Breedsnot Ginseng's juice could be heard.
"Huh?"
There was a crystal glass laboratory on the island in the World Laboratory. It was filled with metal and had moss growing on it. This piqued Vivian's curiosity.
Grimm smiled. "This is a plant specimen that I found by chance in a strange space called the Narrow World. It uses metal as its nutrients and is very rare and special."
As he spoke, Grimm stopped Vivian from moving forward.
"Be careful, that's a hallucinogenic mushroom. I found it in the Bramble Forest when I was a sorcerer-apprentice."
"Ah!"
Vivian was startled. She flapped her light wings and quickly flew away from the mushroom field. She pointed at the tall earth building behind the three giant Golden Breedsnot Ginseng trees that looked like a chimney. "What's that?"
Grimm looked over.
"That's an insect specimen I found in a world called the Shadow Enigmatic World. It's called the Camphoragate Worm. This insect can dig underground and strengthen the walls of the cave. It can also move freely within the walls. That's the entrance to the underground nest."
After walking around Grimm's World Laboratory, Vivian reluctantly left the World Laboratory and returned to Grimm's Demon-Hunter Castle. She then walked around Grimm's library that was also getting more and more abundant.
"Senior, I also want to have a World Laboratory like yours."
Vivian said with a longing look.
Grimm smiled. "When you become an official sorcerer and a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer, you will naturally have one."
