Bajaur was located at the border between the Black Isotta Academy and the Ivory Castle Wizard Academy in the 12th Zone of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings. It was a famous city, where merchants, knights, and adventurers came and went. The city was filled with an atmosphere of compatibility, tolerance, and exploration.
It was an open city, and its status and importance were no less than those famous seaports.
In the Wizard Continent, there were two kinds of places where dark sorcerers lived. The first one was the uninhabited area, and the second one was the border between two forces.
The border was a place where crooks and honest people mixed together. Meanwhile, most of the nobles here were descendants of sorcerers from different forces, which was often accompanied by historical conflicts. It was a good place for dark sorcerers.
Grimm sat in a tavern at the gate of Bajaur like a statue, staring at the pedestrians coming and going, and taking a few sips of fine wine from time to time.
This tavern was different from the shabby ones where wandering knights gathered. Grimm stayed in an elegant private room, so no one paid attention to him.
Suddenly, Grimm narrowed his eyes.
"Finally, they're out." Grimm put down his glass and stood up, looking at the familiar faces on the street.
Violent Bear, Iron Axe, Iron Hammer, and Cobra were all there, and there were three new faces. Seven wandering knights surrounded a luxurious carriage, heading out of the city.
Glenn had been keeping an eye on this tavern for more than twenty days. Until three days ago, when the knights and the little girl in the carriage had mysteriously entered the city, Glenn had only probed a little and did not dare to go too deep into the tavern. Otherwise, if there was a gathering place for dark sorcerers in the city, Grimm would be like a sheep walking into a pack of wolves.
However, since he was sure that the attendants of the little girl were not in danger, Grimm had come up with a plan.
Smiling to himself, Grimm's face slightly twisted, and then he changed his appearance. He left the tavern unhurriedly and secretly followed the carriage of the little girl. With the tracking ability of Grimm's hunting nose, he could easily follow the carriage from hundreds of meters away. The knights could not discover him at all.
"I'd like to see what these fellows are up to after coming here and there!" With this in mind, Grimm was no longer in a hurry to act.
After walking aimlessly for five days, Grimm, who was tailing behind the caravan, noticed through his hunting nose that the carriage of the little girl in front of him had suddenly stopped moving.
Grimm carefully concealed his figure and slowly snuck over.
"Ah … you murderous bandits …"
A desperate howl was heard. Then, Grimm poked his head out of a ditch and saw the cobra mercilessly killing a village woman.
Then, without blinking, the cobra killed the crying baby in the arms of the village woman. It looked crazy and bloodthirsty.
Grimm's pupils shrank.
"This … What's going on? Didn't the Dark Sorcerers capture a large number of civilians to conduct witchcraft experiments? Why did this fellow kill them just like that? "
Years of life as a Sorcerer had long since made Grimm cold-blooded. However, seeing the cobra kill the civilians without any purpose and with the goal of destroying them, he still felt a trace of anger in his heart.
It could even be said that the Dark Sorcerers captured a large number of civilians to conduct witchcraft experiments. Although Grimm did not agree with this as a Sorcerer, he could understand it.
However, this indiscriminate killing of innocent people made Grimm really angry.
After all, the foundation of the Sorcerer World was these ordinary people. Without them, the Sorcerer World would not have any fresh blood in the future.
In the midst of his anger, Grimm saw an unbelievable scene.
After the cobra killed the woman and the child, it took out something that looked like a black stone from its clothes. After shaking it a few times, a subtle energy wave appeared.
"This wave should be a soul wave. Is the cobra absorbing the souls of these humans? "
Grimm's breath quickened. Maybe he had found a big secret this time.
Even a wizard apprentice like Grimm could only use souls in a simplified way. It was impossible for a Knight to have the ability to collect souls.
"Cobra, how much did you get?"
At this time, Grimm finally saw the little girl who hired them to come to Bajal City. However, at this time, this ordinary human girl was covered by a layer of gray mist, which was the negative energy of the Dark Sorcerers.
Grimm could not believe his eyes.
"How could she become a Dark Sorcerer apprentice in such a short time? That's impossible! You know, the reason why a Sorcerer is powerful, no matter in which area, is the accumulation of knowledge. That's the foundation of a Sorcerer's power! " On one hand, Grimm defended himself, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but be shocked by the truth presented to him by the little girl.
Suddenly, something occurred to Grimm. "Could it be that this little girl is the same as the Dark Sorcerer I killed? They both use negative energy to improve their physical qualities and use it in a simplified way? She can't even use the most basic power of a Sorcerer. Even if there were a hundred of them, they would still be killed by a formal Sorcerer. "
Indeed, even with the magic power controlled by Grimm's mind power, without the power of leverage, he could at most attack 10 degrees.
Although these "Dark Sorcerers" had some amazing uses of negative energy, and their physique was improved, the highest energy they could use was about 20 degrees, and the room for growth in the future was extremely limited.
At least in the eyes of the Sorcerer World's Wizards, there was no room for growth.
What kind of power was this "monster" created in such a short time? A Dark Sorcerer?
Grimm relied on his intelligence to analyze for a moment and slowly shook his head.
What the Dark Sorcerers pursued was to climb to the top of the food chain by slaughtering. They pursued the ultimate meaning of destruction, which was life and death. The Dark Sorcerers would never waste their time on such a short-sighted and boring "thing" like this little girl.
Even if a Dark Sorcerer wanted to collect human souls, the safest way would be to find a place similar to Grimm's hometown, the Eastern Coral Island, and use a large area of effect spell to wipe them all out. No matter if it was efficiency or speed, it was much better.
Grimm thought for a long time, but he could not figure out who created these strange "Dark Sorcerers" like the little girl. In any case, it was definitely not an orthodox Dark Sorcerer.
No matter what, those who could become Dark Sorcerers were at least elites with decent intelligence. This kind of strange thing was definitely not worthy of the wisdom of a Dark Sorcerer.
"Phew …"
Grimm heaved a sigh of relief.
In short, no matter who created these strange "Dark Sorcerers", their intelligence and knowledge would not be too high.
In the Sorcerer World, not having too high intelligence meant not having too much power. Without too much power, what was there for Grimm to worry about?
In fact, if Grimm was willing to spend a lot of effort to create his subordinates, although the number would not be too many due to the lack of time, energy, and resources, he would definitely be stronger than these "Dark Sorcerers".
While Grimm was thinking in silence, the little girl left the village with Violent Bear, Cobra, and the other wandering knights, leaving only cold corpses behind.
Grimm was like a ghost walking in the dark, continuing to follow them.
Four days later.
Another village, another massacre. But this time, Grimm quietly sneaked over, and a fake "Cobra" quickly replaced the real Cobra. The reason why he chose Cobra as the replacement target was because he did not talk much. This way, Grimm would not be easily exposed.
Playing with the black stone in his hand, Glenn couldn't figure out what it was even with his limited knowledge.
However, from the faint soul fluctuations coming from the stone, Grimm estimated that there were definitely no less than ten people.
Before an apprentice became a formal sorcerer, their souls were the same as those of ordinary people. This meant that the number of souls contained in the stone was equivalent to more than ten of Grimm's souls.
"Cobra, how many souls did you get here?"
The little girl walked over, her hands still stained with blood, but her face was full of excitement.
Grimm looked at the black stone and said in a deep voice, "Thirteen, miss."
Whether it was his voice or his tone, Grimm at this time could be considered to have gotten away with it. This little girl was not familiar with Cobra at all.
After thinking for a while, the little girl jumped with joy, just like an innocent child who had just received candy. "That's great! With your help, I've finally collected a hundred souls. I'll go to Lord Devil and make a wish. I must cover up this uncomfortable gray gas. Next time, I'll collect another five hundred souls. I want to become a more powerful wizard apprentice! "
Grimm sneered in his heart. You think you are a wizard apprentice, but you don't have the leverage rule. What kind of wizard apprentice are you?
Devil?
What's that? Is it an ancient wizard in the sorcerer world?
But …
The Sorcerer World had a strong aversion to words like "God" because it represented superstition, ignorance, and ignorance in the minds of the Sorcerers. No Sorcerer would be willing to add the word "God" to the back of their taboo nickname.
Besides, since this so-called devil was called "God", his power level should not be too low. Why would he ask these guys who were not even wizard apprentices to do such a trivial thing as collecting souls?
There was something fishy about it.
Grimm had been playing the role of Cobra, following the young lady, Grimm, Grimm, Grimm, Grimm, and three other unknown wandering knights back to Bajaur. On the way back, the others did not suspect the silent Cobra at all.
In a large manor of a noble in Bajaur.
After many layers of secret security, they arrived at the entrance of the underground hall. Grimm squinted his eyes and saw two more "dark wizards" guarding the entrance. These two dark wizards were much stronger than the little girl in front of him. The degree of energy attack they could release was at least 30 degrees.
Of course, if they were like the previous "dark wizards" and did not have the leverage rule, it would be impossible.
However, it seemed that these "dark wizards" did not have magic power, which was unique to wizards. Of course, they could not use the magic lever. What they used was just their strong bodies and the crude application of the negative energy. In the eyes of any wizard, it was such a crude application of energy.
"Wait a minute! Lord Devil is meeting other believers. "
A "dark wizard" guard stopped Grimm and the others. The little girl did not say anything but waited where she was.
A moment later, a young male "Black Sorcerer" who looked to be around fourteen or fifteen years old appeared. The intensity of the negative energy emitted from his body was almost the same as the strength of the two guards, far surpassing that of the little girl in front of Glenn.
At this moment, the eyes of this "Black Sorcerer" were filled with excitement and madness. He was like a bloodthirsty little wolf that had just gained its independence. With a few strong wandering knights behind him, he left the underground hall without sparing a glance at Glenn and the others.
"Come on, let's go in." The little girl sounded a little unhappy, probably because she was provoked by the arrogance of the little boy just now.
In the grand underground palace, there was a ten-meter-tall "mirror" that looked like a vertical water curtain. The narrow space was emitting a mysterious and unknown energy wave, making the whole hall seem like it was in a space fragment that was connected to the sorcerer world.
The hall was filled with all kinds of strange and wonderful energy waves. Among them, there were waves of spatial distortion, waves of negative emotions, waves of the soul, waves of something that might exist in the void, and some energy waves that Grimm had never encountered before.
"Believer, what do you want, and what are you willing to give in exchange?"
Suddenly, a dignified, solemn, and imposing voice came from the mirror. Grimm's pupils shrank.
An irregular elemental creature that looked like a giant black flame appeared on the giant mirror. It was speaking to the little girl in a language that was not standard in the wizard world. In the dark flame, there were two blue eyes that seemed to be able to see through souls.
