The sloping hillside was like solid and smooth stone slabs. Lafite's group effortlessly sprinted down, quickly arriving at the bottom of the 'meteor crater'.
This small basin called the Valley of the Sacred Remains was the base camp of the acolytes from the six academies in the 12th District. As the final battle approached, more and more apprentices gathered in this base camp. It was estimated that there were more than 30,000 of them.
"Stop!" Lafite, who had reached the bottom of the valley, waved his hand. The others stopped and followed Lafite's gaze to the sky.
A pair of leaf wings on Lafite's back flapped rapidly. He floated off the ground and said slowly, "The apprentices here have found us. Let's wait for a while. There should be apprentices who will confirm our identities."
"Huh? Strange!" Nina York, who was most sensitive to elements, whispered, "It seems that fire and thunder elements are abundant here, and the elemental energy is much less."
Hearing Nina York's words, the others closed their eyes and began to feel the elemental energy ratio in the air. After a while, they all looked surprised. Robinson said in surprise, "Do you think this is one of the indelible effects of the fallen ancient Stigmata Sorcerer? He has been dead for so many years. Is he still affecting the geological environment here? "
Hiss …
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Robin said in disbelief, "It can't be … right?"
A sorcerer-apprentice from Ivory Castle questioned, "Maybe it's possible! No one can say for sure what level of power those great existences possess. "
…
After a while, more than 20 apprentices in the distant sky quickly flew over. They hovered in the distant sky for a while. After making sure there was no ambush, a figure rushed down.
Dozens of meters away from Lafite, the man rode a broom and shouted, "Which academy are you from? Who sent you here? "
"We have apprentices from the Black Iso Tower, the Dark Realm, the Hourglass, and the Ivory Castle. They were sent here by Seman from the Dark Realm." Lafite also shouted back.
The others understood the man's cautiousness.
After all, according to the intelligence, there were apprentices from the 12th who had infiltrated the 19th. No one could be sure if they would do the same.
"Alright, wait a moment." After saying that, the man rode his broom and flew towards the group in the distance.
Soon, more than twenty people flew towards them. Lafite and the others were familiar with Alastair and Sam. Sam flapped his black, crow-like wings slowly. Wisps of black, ominous aura lingered on them. Therefore, he was sure that Lafite and the others had come from the right place. As for Alastair, he flew to Lafite's side with a flash of lightning.
"Elder Lafite, the atmosphere in the Death Sail League is a lot more gloomy without you. I was wondering where you were, haha …" Alastair laughed at Lafite, but he was secretly surprised.
Has his "injury" recovered?
Lafite's mood improved a lot when he saw the people from the Death Sail League. He said, "I've been guarding the resource points for so many years. How was the battle going? It's said that the twenty drops of blood over there are already very powerful. "
At this time, Sam also flew over. His cold eyes only softened when he looked at the members of the Death Sail League. He said in a deep voice, "That league is just like the Death Sail League when you first established it. It's very troublesome for us. Fortunately, the number of times that the guardians of the 19th can be dispatched is no longer an advantage. "
Alastair smiled and said, "That's right. The Death Sail League only has eleven chances to dispatch the guardians, while we have sixteen chances. We've only dispatched the guardians twice in all these years. "
Grimm, who was following behind Lafite, felt his heart skip a beat.
…
Three days later.
This was a resource point that was rich in "Thunder Essence Stones". The sorcerer-apprentices guarding this precious resource would certainly not be polite. Many of them secretly mined some of the stones. Whether it was for research materials or for sale in the future, it would be very useful.
Grimm also collected a few thunder essence stones, ground them into powder and stored them in a test tube. Maybe it would be useful for some lightning element research or alchemy experiments in the future. Of course, Grimm would not spend a lot of time collecting thunder essence stones. He had to focus on the Holy Tower qualification battle in four years.
Time was running out.
Grimm was not sure if he could finish the Fire Blast Spell before the qualification battle, even though Grimm had spent all his time on it.
Of course, even with Grimm's current condition, he was confident that he could become a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer. Not to mention that Norris had promised that Grimm would become a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer in the future. However, none of this could guarantee that Grimm could reach the top and get the highest reward.
Thump, thump, thump …
The heavy footsteps seemed to be deliberate. A huge figure appeared in front of Grimm. This person was as fat as a ball, but he only gave off the feeling of being burly and not fat. He walked like a towering fortress, and a metal chain of a meteor hammer was tied to the leather armor around his waist. He was as steady as a mountain, but he also carried a hint of wildness and coldness as he approached Meng Qi!
This person was Bethany, who used to be ranked tenth on the top ten in Black Iso Tower. Now she was ranked sixth on the top ten in Black Iso Tower.
The reason why Bethany's ranking had changed so much was because she had shown amazing strength in a previous battle. She had successfully attracted the attack of the 19th's guardian, but she had escaped.
"Grimm, I heard you were assigned to this resource point, so I came to have a look. What do you think? If there is a battle with the 19th in a few days, are you interested in forming an alliance with my team? I'm very interested in a wizard apprentice like you. " Although Bethany was a female, she did not have the weakness of a female creature. She sat down on the ground with a "thud" and said to Glenn in a "sincere and heartfelt" manner.
Grimm put away the test tube filled with Thunder Marrow Stone powder. He looked at Bethany and said, "No, I've been guarding a remote resource point for years, so I have no chance to collect badges. This time, I plan to collect them in the later stages of the war. "
"How many more do you need?" Bethany asked.
Grimm looked at Bethany in surprise and said, "72 more."
"That many?" Bethany said, "The secret of the badges has already spread in the central resource point. It's almost impossible to collect them secretly. Although I have some extra emblems, I have also promised a lot to others. You need so many, I can't help you. "
Grimm nodded and did not mind.
According to Varro, one badge was usually sold for a thousand magic stones. Dozens of badges would be tens of thousands of magic stones, which was a sky-high price for most wizard apprentices.
Bethany didn't want to force Green. People like her didn't know how to be polite. She stood up and strode away.
From the looks of it, there weren't many followers that she was interested in.
Everyone in the fifteen resource points in the central mining area was busy preparing for the upcoming "decisive battle". Powerful acolytes gathered their allies and followers, while the weaker acolytes formed small groups based on their relationship with their respective academies. A tense atmosphere pervaded the Valley of the Sacred Remains.
Generally speaking, the six schools of the 12th had the advantage over the 19's 20 Drops of Blood Alliance, except for the fact that they only had half the number of students.
Unless they made a huge mistake, the 19th district had no chance to win. However, the reason why the 19th wanted to start the battle was to seize that one percent chance. After all, if they could not win, they would have to go through another round of screening and layoffs.
After another round of screening, the remaining apprentices would be the best of the best, and the goal of reducing the number of apprentices would be achieved.
…
At the Death Sail League meeting, Alastair frowned and said, "Grimm, are you sure you want to do this alone? You know, you can't play any role in the battle, and it's hard to collect such a large number of badges. Why don't you join us? I can't say how many resources we can give you, but we can still make the decision about 20 badges. "
There were only four elders in this resource point: Alastair, Lafite, Sam, Borg, and seventy or eighty ordinary members. (Borg didn't mention them before. Just treat them as passers-by.)
Borg also said, "Yeah, Grimm. The Death Sail League has only been established for a short time, and we don't have any foundation. Except for Sam and Alastair, who are close to the top ten, we don't have any real strong people. That's why we should unite. That way, we can show our advantages and make the league stronger. How about this, Grimm, I don't have enough badges anyway. For the sake of the league, I'm willing to give you five more badges. What do you think? "
Borg's awe-inspiring righteousness moved most of the members who attended the meeting. This was the president that everyone was fighting for! How could he give away five badges?
It was said that some people had been selling badges for eight or nine hundred magic stones each.
Borg's righteousness made all the members of the Death Sail League admire him. They all turned to look at Grimm. If Grimm was still so selfish, then he really didn't know what was good for him. After all, the league had given him so many benefits, which were no less than that of an elder wizard apprentice. Borg even gave him these benefits!
Only Sam and Alastair were frowning.
It seemed that Borg didn't understand Grimm's strength. It seemed that he only thought that Grimm's strength was at the level of an elder.
But …
Alastair didn't say anything. Of course, he didn't want to admit that Grimm was stronger than him in front of everyone. He was one of the pillars of the Death Sail League, so he didn't want to put down his pride and say anything.
Sam, the strongest student in the Black Iso Tower during the newcomer's trial, the one with the undying body, also didn't say anything because he couldn't defend Grimm. Although he had heard that this low-key student with the Ashen Mask had defeated Kyrie, he had already regarded Grimm as a strong person on the same level as himself.
Sitting behind Lafite, Grimm's eyes under the Ashen Mask looked at everyone calmly. It seemed that if he didn't agree, it would be a betrayal. So many people were looking at him "expectantly".
Grimm was hesitating, not knowing what to do. Selfishness?
At this time, Lafite suddenly sneered, which attracted everyone's attention. They all looked at the vicious, scary, beautiful, and arrogant woman who hadn't shown herself for many years.
"For the league? Hehe … Everyone, do you still remember the fundamental purpose of establishing the Death Sail League? "Lafite looked around at everyone before speaking in a mocking tone.
Borg looked at the venomous-tongued queen, and his heart was filled with rage. Not only did this selfish woman refuse to help the alliance get Grimm to join, but she was also trying to defend herself. The disgust in his heart could no longer be concealed, and he said, "Venomous-Tongued queen, others might be afraid of you, but I, Borg, am not! Just say what you want to say! "
Lafite squinted her eyes and sneered. Then she said proudly, "Now I'm asking, do you remember the original purpose of the league?"
"To unite the helpless apprentices on the ship so that they could survive in the unknown and cruel Black Isotta Wizard Academy!" Alastair said with a hint of determination.
Lafite glanced at Alastair and then looked at everyone with her bright eyes. She was not afraid of the people's anger and confusion. She said coldly, "So … the league was established to help people develop better at that time! The Union had indeed fought for some benefits for Glenn (cleaning the library in the early days, some experimental materials at internal price …), but his membership fees had never been low in recent years, and he had never owed anyone anything! But now that Grimm thinks the league can no longer provide for him, why can't he develop on his own? After all, Grimm is not an elder of the league. He didn't enjoy the treatment that an elder should have, so he doesn't have the corresponding responsibilities and obligations! "
Borg said angrily, "You …"
Borg was angry, but he couldn't say anything else.
