After nearly half a year of hunting, traces of battle could be found everywhere in the Sacred Relic Basin. The apprentices of the 19th had been "screened" by the apprentices of the 12th.
Half a year later, the heads of the academies who were in charge of supervising the war appeared and announced that the 12th Sorcerer Academy had won the war. All apprentices in the Fallen Basin would return to their academies to prepare for the Holy Tower Trials in three years' time, and all the wizards in the 12th Sorcerer Academy would receive a share of the Fallen Basin's resources for the next hundred years.
Lafite's team was in a bad mood. It was all because of Chris's position, which made Anna look so lonely, but it didn't change anything.
The way back for the Sorcerer-Apprentices of various academies was not peaceful. Many Sorcerer-Apprentices fought each other because of their greed for the badges and because of some personal grudges formed during the war. Many Sorcerer-Apprentices died. Fortunately, the Black Isotta Academy and the Death Sail League went back together, so Lafite's team didn't have to worry too much.
…
Bramble Forest.
Anna York looked at the Sorcerer-Apprentices fighting with a large group of Giant Apes. She had a full set of auxiliary spells, but she had nowhere to use them. She just stood there like an outsider. Once again, Anna felt lonely. After losing Chris, she found herself so out of touch with reality.
Perhaps, without Chris, Anna York would have been eliminated on the cruise ship a long time ago …
…
Black Isotta Academy.
The members of the Death Sail League were the first batch of acolytes to return to the academy. At this moment, they were looking at the new faces in the academy. They were like little wolf cubs peeking at them, dark and vicious, with a strong sense of vigilance. It was obvious that these new students hadn't had a good time in the academy these past few years. In fact, some of them were even crueler than the previous few years.
Robinson said in a low voice, "These little guys remind me of us. But I don't know if they're lucky or unlucky."
The so-called lucky was that these new students had avoided the district school wars that happened once every hundred years, and the so-called unlucky was that they couldn't make it to the Holy Tower Tryouts this year.
Robin shook his head. "They should be considered lucky. At the very least, they'll be the most primitive seniors in the next Holy Tower Qualification Battle, so they'll have a greater advantage. At the very least, if it were up to me, I'd hope that I could enter the academy a year later. That way, I might have a chance in the Holy Tower Qualification Battle a hundred years later. "
Lafite suddenly said, "I don't know what happened to those three. Back then, Fake Faceless spent a lot of effort to snatch us from Lilith's Sorcerer Academy. Wasn't it because those three had a chance to compete for the Holy Tower? It is said that any sorcerer who nurtures a sorcerer-apprentice with the qualifications to become a Demon-Hunter will receive a special reward from the Holy Tower. "
Lafite was referring to Sam, Kyrie, and Bionna.
Robinson said disdainfully, "Laffey, it's not like you don't know how strong that Bionna is. She doesn't stand a chance. As for Kyrie and Sam, they should be much stronger than that woman, but it's still up to luck if they want to compete for the right to become a Demon-Hunter. "
Lafite sighed.
Robinson was telling the truth, but if he said Brionna had no chance, didn't that also mean he had no chance?
Although …
He had tried very hard.
Suddenly, Lafite turned around and looked at Grimm, her eyes uncertain. Grimm had once again returned to his low-key manner, following behind her all day long, as if he was calculating some kind of witchcraft reaction formula in his mind every day. From morning to night, except for a few words before going to bed, he was like a robot. Many people had completely ignored his existence.
However, as Grimm's lover, Lafite had a vague feeling about Grimm's strength. She couldn't help but think, "If it's him, he should have a good chance …"
Lafite was also not sure about Grimm's actual strength. In this war, Grimm had only taken out a bunch of badges, but had no other achievements. Whether it was the list of top ten masters in the Black Iso Tower or the list of potential substitutes, there was no information about Grimm.
It was as if Grimm was really just an ordinary sorcerer-apprentice.
However, if Grimm was really an ordinary sorcerer-apprentice, would he have taken out a bunch of badges that represented the lives of the 19th sorcerer-apprentices?
Glenn didn't say anything. Other than calculating the Fire Blast Sorcery's reaction formula in his mind, he was also thinking about one thing. That was, what kind of reward would the Holy Tower give to the academy's mentor who nurtured the Demon-Hunter Sorcerer that made Fake Faceless Sorcerer so many years ago cross the ocean and hijack that ship?
On the other side, Anna also didn't say anything. She touched the many badges in the cloth bag, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten. But after more than half a year, Anna could control her emotions very well. She silently looked at Grimm with gratitude, and then lowered her head again and followed the others.
The little girl who used to be shy and timid had begun to mature.
…
Two days later, on the 79th floor of the Black Iso Tower.
"Yo, Grimm, you've been gone for more than ten years. Looks like you've matured a lot after this academy war." Garnigel was lying on the sofa. He didn't show any surprise when he saw Grimm enter the room. He just licked his paws and said this in a flat tone, like an old man who had lived for more than ten years.
Grimm was only in his early thirties. Of course, he had grown a lot in the past ten years.
A bag of Spiked Fish was placed in front of Black Cat. Grimm's tense mind power relaxed a little. He smiled and said, "Mr. Garnigel, is the master not here?"
Black Cat Di picked up the Spiked Fish with its beak and jumped onto the top of the huge fish tank. It glanced at Grimm out of boredom and warned, "Don't bother the old man now. He hasn't seen his wife for more than ten years. Of course, he needs to be intimate with her. Unlike me, a lonely cat who's used to loneliness. Sigh … only these Spiked Fish can understand my heart the best. "
Grimm felt a chill. They don't understand your heart, they understand your stomach.
One day later.
Varro and Grimm sat together. Peranos looked at the many badges in front of Grimm and said in a refreshed tone, "Well, in a month, the secret realm of Black Iso Tower will open. Your badges will be useful then. When the time comes, you should take a stroll in the secret realm of our master. Don't get thrown out as soon as you go in. Alright, now the two of you can talk about your feelings over these years. "
Varro and Grimm looked at each other. Feelings?
Varro scratched his head. "Well … I don't feel anything. I've been stationed at the back of the resource point since the beginning of the war. I haven't seen the students of the 19th until the end of the war. Every day is boring. Oh, by the way, I met a few good friends. I fell in love once and then broke up again. Does this count as a feeling? "
Peranos's face darkened. The room was silent for a while. Then Peranos said coldly, "Get out!"
Varo seemed to have known that this would be the result. After all these years, he had gotten used to his teacher's temper. He stuck out his tongue and left.
Grimm said, "Well … feelings, about the Fire Blast spell … Oh, no! You're asking about the comparison between Bright Sorcerers and Dark Sorcerers? "
Peranos nodded. "Hmph, you're a hundred times better than that guy."
Grimm also stuck out his tongue naughtily like Varro. Even though Grimm was in his thirties, he could only act like a child in front of Peranos. He thought for a while and said in a low voice, "The advantages and disadvantages of Bright Sorcerers and Dark Sorcerers are very obvious. It makes sense that the Holy Tower of Seven Rings cultivates sorcerers into two camps: Bright Sorcerers and Dark Sorcerers. At least the Dark Sorcerers can't shake the position of Bright Sorcerers in group warfare, unless their strength reaches some qualitative change. If the scale of this war is bigger, the Dark Sorcerers can't win at all. It's very likely that the 12th will be the ones being chased. "
Peranos smiled and looked at Grimm with satisfaction.
"In fact, it's not just the Holy Tower of Seven Rings. All the Holy Towers on the continent cultivate like this. When you become a Demon-Hunter, you'll know the power of Bright Sorcerers. Generally speaking, they are the main force of the Sorcerer World. Even if the Holy Tower of Seven Rings favors the Dark Sorcerers, we still have to cultivate ten districts of Bright Sorcerers to be the new force in the war. "Peranos pointed out to Grimm.
Grimm pondered for a moment.
As for the governing body of the Holy Tower in the Sorcerer World, Grimm only knew that there were seven Holy Towers in the Sorcerer Continent. The names were Holy Tower of One Ring to Holy Tower of Seven Rings. There seemed to be a few Holy Towers in the underground world, and a few "big islands" overseas had a Sky Holy Tower and a Black Holy Tower. As for the other Holy Towers, Grimm didn't know. (To the Sorcerer Continent, it's an island. To the local people, it's a continent.)
However, even if there were Holy Towers in the Sorcerer World, it would at most be one or two.
After all, each Holy Tower represented a Celestial Sorcerer above Level Seven. Even in the powerful Sorcerer World, there wouldn't be too many of such great existences.
Even if there were "only" so many great existences, it was enough to ensure the Sorcerer World's strong ruling power over the surrounding worlds and form the Sorcerer Civilization. (Because the top strength was not involved, from Grimm's point of view, it was not easy to describe it with quantity.)
The matters of the top forces between the Holy Towers were not of Grimm's concern. Only the Holy Tower Qualification Battle that was about to take place in the Holy Tower of Seven Rings was what Grimm was most concerned about. Therefore, Grimm couldn't help but ask Peranos.
"The Holy Tower Qualification Battle …"
Peranos pondered for a moment and said, "For the Holy Tower of Seven Rings, there are a total of 28 districts. Among them, there are a total of 226 Sorcerer Academies. The Holy Tower of Seven Rings divides the 28 districts into five camps, from which they select elite sorcerer-apprentices worthy of training. Among them, District 1 to District 5, District 11 to District 15 are the Dark Sorcerer Camp, District 6 to District 10, District 16 to District 20 are the Bright Sorcerer Camp, and District 21 to District 28 are the Chaos Sorcerer Camp. The Holy Tower Qualification Battle is to select 200 sorcerer-apprentices from each camp as reserve Demon-Hunter Sorcerers. "
Grimm's pupils shrank, "The Chaos Sorcerer Camp has eight districts!" (The so-called Chaos Sorcerer Camp is four Bright Sorcerer Camps and four Dark Sorcerer Camps. They are considered to be one camp. Compared to the simple Bright and Dark Sorcerer Camp, the system inside is more cruel and more suitable for the needs of war.)
Nodding, Peranos said indifferently, "The Demon-Hunter Sorcerers from that camp are generally the top, representing the Holy Tower of Seven Rings' highest combat power. Generally speaking, their average strength is enough to suppress the reserve Demon-Hunter Sorcerers from other districts of the same level. But it doesn't matter, the Holy Tower of Seven Rings has five Peak Sorcerer-Apprentices who qualify for the highest reward. If you think you can fight for it, you don't need to fight against the terrible guys from the Chaos Sorcerer Camp, just like the Bright Sorcerers don't need to fight against us Dark Sorcerers. "
Grimm had the Friendship Key of the Black Iso Tower, and he had no less than three chances to summon it.
From Peranos's point of view, with such innate conditions, Grimm already had a trace of the possibility of fighting for the top. Of course, because Peranos didn't understand Grimm's specific strength, he only thought it was a possibility, just like the last time when the 19th District Sorcerer-Apprentices might win the "final battle."
Grimm didn't say anything. He had some preliminary understanding of the Holy Tower Qualification Battle.
If that was the case, then in this Holy Tower Tryouts, he would have to distinguish himself from the other five regional academies' acolytes and become one of the top 200 students? If he wanted to get that top position …
"Oh, right, the Holy Tower Qualification Battle is not a cruel selection. After all, not all sorcerers in the Sorcerer World aim to become a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer. Being an Arcane Sorcerer is also a strong path, you will understand in the future. Therefore, in the Holy Tower Qualification Battle, you can choose to save your life or give up. You can rest assured about this. " After adding this sentence, Peranos sighed again, as if he had thought of something, and a trace of sadness filled the air.
"Sigh …"
Peranos said dejectedly, "You first prepare for the secret realm of the Black Iso Tower, and strive to gain something from it. After you come out, I will teach you the Endless Eye transformation sorcery, the three methods to become an official sorcerer, and the trump card I prepared for you in the Qualification Battle. " (The sadness and loss are related to the summoning of the Eldest Senior Sister. There was a similar description before, and it will be mentioned in the future. For the time being, it is a trap.)
Glenn nodded. Suddenly, he asked, "Master, the sorcerers of the academy and the sorcerers who travel the continent are called Arcane Sorcerers. In that case, what kind of reward will an Arcane Sorcerer receive from the Holy Tower for cultivating a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer?"
"Hmm?"
Peranos smiled. "You noticed this problem? Hehe, but don't worry, a dean like me doesn't need too much Sorcerer Essence. Training you is completely out of a momentary interest. "
Sorcerer Essence?
Grimm remembered this word. Perhaps it was a rare currency used by the Arcane Sorcerers in the Sorcerer World to exchange for some exclusive resources in the Holy Tower.
