"We've arrived at the Seven-Ring World."
The hexagonal metal hatch of the Heart of the Seven Rings opened. Grimm and the rest of the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers flew out from the metal hatch. They looked at the dark sky and the mechanical airships that filled the sky. They felt the unique laws of the Seven Rings World and flew toward the Holy Tower of the Seven Rings.
On Grimm's shoulder, Little Eight was combing the beautiful feathers on her wings with her beak as she muttered, "I wonder how Vivian is doing."
Grimm was silent.
Generally speaking, although the Holy Tower of Seven Rings could help apprentices advance to become official sorcerers to a certain extent, the percentage of apprentices advancing to official sorcerers in the past was not a fixed number.
For Grimm's batch of apprentices, about a third of them never came out after entering the Holy Tower of Seven Rings. Among them was Kyrie, whom Grimm had used three Esoteric Sorcery to duplicate the talent of Spatial Boundary Perception.
With a "whoosh", Grimm took out the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft and boarded it, turning into a stream of light that shot into the distance at high speed.
The Starfall Reconnaissance Craft was emitting the Sorcerer World's Principal Will. Even within the Seven-Ring World, the people along the way quietly made way for the craft, allowing it to reach the Holy Tower of Seven Rings at the fastest speed possible.
A few hourglasses later.
In the dim world, a ten-thousand-meter-tall tower made of flesh, metal, and energy seemed to be supporting the Seven Rings World. An indescribably oppressive aura was being released. Voidships, Demon-Hunter Sorcerers, mechanical guards, and slave monsters surrounded the Holy Tower of Seven Rings like a colony of ants, shuttling back and forth for their own purposes.
With a "click", the hatch of the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft opened, and Grimm flew out with Little Eight on his shoulder.
The surrounding mechanical guards and slave monsters felt Grimm's Principal Will of the Sorcerer World and quickly maintained their order, opening a path for Grimm.
Without any obstruction, Grimm stood on one of the giant mechanical arms of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings.
With the movement of the mechanical arm, Grimm felt as if he had been sent into a giant organism made of flesh, metal, and energy.
The bright sunshine, the square paved with neat white bricks, and the wizards walking around the square. The interior of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings was like a whole new world.
Grimm stopped a group of Mechanical Marionette guards who were passing by.
The mechanical eyeball emitted a pale green ray of light and scanned Grimm's body. Soon, it obtained some information. The leader of the mechanical marionettes said in a stiff voice, "Dear Demon-Hunter, what can I do for you?"
"I'm looking for a female Sorcerer-Apprentice named Vivian. She was assigned here after the last Holy Tower of Seven Rings qualification battle."
The mechanical puppet paused for a moment before saying, "Please follow me to the Personnel Registration Department."
Grimm nodded and said lightly, "En."
The interior of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings was beyond Grimm's imagination. As the world core of the Seven Rings World, this vast space must have been expanded by the Seven Rings Celestial Sorcerer through the evolution of the internal laws.
Half an hourglass later, Grimm found Vivian's information in a quiet place with only a few wizards. A grey-feathered woodpecker passed a scroll to Grimm.
"Caw? Looks like there's not much hope. "
Little Eight shook her head when she saw the contents of the scroll.
"Not yet an official sorcerer …"
Grimm opened the scroll and slowly closed it again. He let out a regretful sigh.
He wondered if Vivian's failure to become an official sorcerer had anything to do with the strengthening potion he gave her when she first entered the Holy Tower of Seven Rings.
However, such a mistake could not be undone.
After nodding at the few sorcerers who were leisurely sipping on their tea, Grimm left the Human Resource Department of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings. Following the directions on the scroll, he walked toward the Demon-Hunter Castle of a Level-3 Great Sorcerer named Gulles.
The Holy Tower of Seven Rings was generally inhabited by Level-3 Demon-Hunter Sorcerers and elite sorcerers recruited by several top sorcerer organizations, such as the Demon-Hunter Consociation that Grimm had once refused to join.
A creature that looked like a caterpillar was a mixture of flesh and machinery. It was at least a hundred meters long. It was carrying a group of Demon-Hunter Sorcerers across the Holy Tower Square of the Seven Rings. Grimm tossed some energy crystals into the giant caterpillar's mouth and was allowed to ride on it.
"Caw caw, Young Master, this creature of flesh and machinery is very interesting."
Little Eight flew down from Grimm's shoulder and stood on the giant caterpillar, feeling very excited.
Each of the giant caterpillar's legs was made of metal. It moved quite fast, but it was not bumpy at all.
"Hmm."
The last time Grimm came to the Holy Tower of Seven Rings, he did not carefully study the knowledge of the mixture of flesh, metal, and energy because he had inadvertently "poisoned" Vivian. This time, it was worth studying.
Grimm looked at the Level-3 Great Sorcerer who was also riding the giant caterpillar.
His white beard was somewhat wavy, hanging down to his chest. He wore a black sorcerer's hat and carried an old wooden magic staff with green sprouts on it.
Naturally, the Level-3 Great Sorcerer also looked at Grimm.
After bowing to the Level-3 Great Demon-Hunter Sorcerer, Grimm asked respectfully, "Master, if I want to learn about the synthesis of this kind of mechanical creature of flesh and blood, where do I have to go to learn and trade knowledge?"
"Hehe, is this your first time at the Holy Tower of Seven Rings?"
The old sorcerer was a relatively kind Bright Sorcerer. His eyes, which were squeezed out of the wrinkles in his eye sockets, showed the light of wisdom.
"This is a new knowledge system developed by Seven Rings Celestial Sorcerer. It is said that this is the lost knowledge of the ancient civilization of this world. After being obtained by Seven Rings Celestial Sorcerer, he carried out large-scale development suitable for sorcerers. With your Rank-1 Demon Hunter Honor Badge, as long as you join any sorcerer organization and move into the Holy Tower, you can obtain the knowledge of synthetic creatures by paying the price of sorcerer essence. "
After saying that, the old sorcerer did not forget to add, "Of course, it is only the rules of knowledge. You still need to develop your own corresponding sorcery, and the price of knowledge exchange is not low."
The other party's enthusiasm made Grimm smile. "Thank you, Master."
"Caw caw caw caw, can I buy a specimen like this back?"
Little Eight asked quietly, her tone full of anticipation.
The old sorcerer shook his head and smiled. "The Holy Tower of Seven Rings does not provide the corresponding services. Maybe you can try from those sorcerers who study this kind of metal flesh and blood synthetic life."
…
Descending from the giant caterpillar, Grimm flew for a while with Little Eight, and finally found the Gulles Demon-Hunter Castle marked on the scroll.
As a visiting sorcerer, Grimm came to the front of the Demon-Hunter Castle and gently knocked on the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Footsteps were heard inside the castle.
After a short while, a creaking sound was heard. An old sorceress-apprentice opened the castle door. She was about to say something, but was stunned when she saw Grimm's mask and Little Eight on his shoulder.
"Third … Third Brother? Eight Rainbow Nevis! "
Vivian looked at Grimm in a daze. Her eyes were filled with surprise and shame. She was ashamed that she was still a sorceress-apprentice.
It had been a long time since they last met. For Grimm, the time spent on a Demon-Hunter Expedition was already half a lifetime for Vivian. This was the difference in the level of life between them.
"Vivian!"
Little Eight happily landed on Vivian's shoulder.
"Junior Sister."
Grimm's voice was filled with guilt. He looked at the sorceress-apprentice who looked much older than him.
Vivian's life had come to an end. Grimm could feel through her soul that she had about ten years left at most.
Vivian had no hope of becoming an official sorcerer.
"Third Brother, come in quickly. This is the Demon-Hunter Castle of the Great Wizard Gulles. He is very kind and taught me a lot of sorcerer knowledge. By the way, Senior Brother, how is Mentor Norris? "
Vivian suppressed the shame in her heart. She did not blame Grimm for "poisoning" her. She blamed her lack of sorcerer wisdom for not becoming an official sorcerer.
Grimm followed Vivian into the Demon-Hunter Castle.
"I haven't seen my mentor yet. This Demon-Hunter Expedition is more complicated, and there were some accidents. I came to see you as soon as I returned to the Sorcerer World."
After a while, an old sorcerer who was only about 1.5 meters tall appeared.
Grimm read the sorcerer's regret for Vivian in his eyes. Grimm could only force a smile, as if he was recalling Lafite from deep in his memory.
Grimm looked at Vivian, who was introducing him to Gulles.
She should not waste the last few years of her life in this closed world. She should go and have a good look at the beautiful and vast Sorcerer World.
