Keslin Castle.
In a tightly guarded secret spell hall at the lowest level.
A huge ball of light with a diameter of a hundred metres floated in the middle of the hall. Through countless beautiful silver-white bands of light, it maintained a close connection with the hundreds and thousands of mystical spell formations in the surroundings.
The bands of light were not pure energy. If someone was lucky enough to capture a segment and magnify it by ten thousand times, they would discover that the so-called bands of light were actually densely packed tiny runes intertwined and linked together to form an energy jet.
Every tiny dot of light was a miniature runic light formation.
There were hundreds and thousands of bands of light, densely packed with dots of light. They intertwined and linked together to form an even more complex and grander runic light formation system.
Within the ball of light, a pair of strange, indifferent eyes were silently observing the operation of the entire runic light formation system. Behind the ball of light floated a skinny, withered old Magus with almost all his hair gone.
Just as the entire runic light formation system was operating in perfect harmony, an abnormally dazzling band of light pierced through countless layers of stone walls, passing through hundreds and thousands of defensive spell formations, and pierced straight into the thin brain of the old man who was sleeping soundly within the ball of light.
"Yuri, wake up, hurry up and wake up …"
This voice was abnormally loud, causing the surrounding bands of light to start distorting and vibrating. However, all of this was quickly restored to normal under the gaze of the pair of strange, indifferent eyes, and did not interfere with the operation of the runic light formation.
Finally, under the urging of the loud voice, the thin and withered old Magus slowly opened his eyes.
"Damn it, which bastard came to disturb this old man's sleep again? Don't tell me … Ugh, Lord Fred, why is it you? "
The old Magus had just woken up, and his mind was still a little groggy. He grumbled as he connected to the spiritual stream of consciousness. His' weak 'spiritual force made contact with the other party, and he immediately recognised the latter's unique spiritual undulations. He hurriedly shut his mouth and revealed a flattering smile.
"Yuri, you promised me that the revived Keslin is completely under our control. So what's with the illegal empowerment two days ago? Why did it suddenly go out of control? "
"So that's what it is!" Yuri was a rank 3 Magus, and he was someone who could shake the world with a single stomp of his foot. However, in front of a rank 4 Magus who had come to denounce him, he could only nod his head and hurriedly explain, "It's a small mistake when I was setting up the empowerment rules …"
"What mistake?" the loud voice asked in dissatisfaction.
"When I confirm the operating rules for Koslyn, all the rank 3 Magi in the association will have rank 2 authority …"
"This is the unanimous opinion of all the Tier 4 Sorcerers in the association. Is there a problem? That kid wasn't a member of the association at that time! "
"The problem is that Koslin sensed the same kind of aura from him, so he regarded him as one of his own, and simultaneously triggered the empowerment mechanism!"
"Same kind? You mean … that kid also has some kind of activated life in him? "
"Yes." However, the old Magus casually added, "Of course, it could also be something similar to life!"
The majestic voice was silent for a moment before it said, "That's possible. According to the information obtained by the association, Grimm has a soul equipment bound to him, and it's said that he has cultivated it into an existence similar to a contract spirit with its own consciousness. Could it be that Koslin sensed that thing? "
"It's possible, but as for what it is, I'm afraid we can only be sure after we capture that kid and carefully investigate him. President, what do you think … "
"Forget it! We can't touch that kid for now. " After a long time, the majestic voice sighed, "Recently, the association will be holding a competition. That kid is the main character that we've meticulously prepared, so we can't casually touch him. So, you better keep a close eye on Koslin, and don't let him create such a loophole in his defense! "
"Yes, President, everything will be as you wish!"
"Alright, that's all!"
As the majestic voice dispersed, the colorful belt of light disappeared in an instant.
"Same kind? Hehe, do you think it's something as simple as a contract spirit? I've heard that the kid can control a giant war puppet that's a hundred meters in size by himself, and that he's hiding a strange creature that can assimilate magic metals in another world. If I can dig out the secrets on him, it will be of great benefit to me in controlling Koslin. "
When only the old Sorcerer was left in the secret spell hall, he finally could not help but start mumbling to himself.
"However, that kid is currently the association's darling, and they're counting on him to be their scapegoat! If we want to touch him at this time, I'm afraid … "
After thinking for a long time, Yuri, who was a grade 3 Sorcerer, did not dare to go against the will of a great grade 4 Sorcerer. He could only grit his teeth and remember all of this. Only then did he go back to sleep, and his consciousness fused with that giant ball of light.
… …
Keslin Castle.
Inside a strange room.
Sanazar casually turned off the long-distance communication crystal on the wooden table in front of her, and fell into a long period of silence.
Just as she was burning with anger, someone knocked on the wooden door of the room.
Opening the door, Sanazar was surprised to find two powerful Sorcerers in strange clothing standing outside, smiling at her.
"Galo, Dante, what are you two doing here?" Sanazar, who was hidden in the purple fog, said in a sharp voice.
"Why aren't we welcome? You won't even let us into the room? " Galo, the Faceless Sorcerer, who was standing in front, had a strange appearance that was too terrifying. When he smiled at people, the numerous cracks and dense needles on his face began to squirm together. The strong visual impact was not something that ordinary people could bear.
After hesitating for a moment, Sanazar finally opened the door, and watched the two competitors walk in one after another.
Closing the door, Sanazar reactivated the protection spell circle, and said in a muffled voice, "Tell me, what are you two doing here?"
Faceless Sorcerer Galo looked around the room, and then turned around. His towering figure that was two meters tall, coupled with his terrifying face, was full of pressure.
"Sanazar, how much do you know about this competition?"
Wizard Dante, whose figure was blurry and illusory, also stared at the purple fog outside of Sanazar's body with interest.
Sanazar did not rush to answer, but coldly stared at Galo, and asked, "How much do you know?"
Galo grinned, "Not much, but it's enough."
Sanazar sneered, "You are the most promising wizard under Ms. Clara to reach rank 4. Why wouldn't she take care of you?"
The smile on Galo's face became even brighter.
"Ms. Clara did take care of me, but …"
"Could it be that you don't like Ms. Clara's care?"
"Hmph …"
Sanazar turned around and looked at Dante, who also hurriedly waved his hand, "No need to look at me, I've also been warned."
Sanaza nodded in understanding and said in a gloomy tone, "It seems that we've all received the same information. The winner of this tournament must be that Grim!"
"Yeah!" A bitter smile appeared on Wizard Dante's blurry face, "I've also been warned. I don't care how I fight with you two, but if I meet Grimm, I will definitely lose!"
"The care I received is almost the same as yours!" Jia Luo also said angrily with a wretched expression.
"That brat just offended Mr. Declan, so there's no way the association will support him. That's why I suspect the association wants Grimm to become a rank 4 wizard as soon as possible! Do you two have any insider information to share? "Sanazar stared at his two 'companions'.
Dante shrugged and made an expression as if he didn't know anything.
Only Galo lowered his head and muttered to himself, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, he raised his head and said in a low voice with his horrifying face that had been cut and sewn back together, "The association is currently in a big trouble. Those grand wizards from outside the city want all the big organizations to send a rank 4 wizard for a mission. I heard it's quite dangerous."
"Then it's obvious. This competition is a trap. The association doesn't want to give away the origin substance, but the identity of the wizard. The four of us have already reached the peak of rank 3. No matter who gets the origin substance, they will have the highest chance of reaching rank 4. They might even be able to comprehend the power of law in advance … "Speaking up to this point, even Sanazar, who was usually calm and steady, couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Maybe we can fight for it … After all, although the mission from outside the city is a little dangerous, it doesn't mean we'll die! Also … "Wizard Dante's voice suddenly became low," In terms of talent and potential, the two of you are much better than me. Your chances of reaching rank 4 are also higher than mine … "
"Talent and potential are nothing!" Broken Face Galo said coldly, "Every time we cross ranks, we have to go through life and death! Are all these rank 4 wizards from the association the strongest rank 3 wizard from back then? Hmph, there's always a limit to one's hard work. The thing that truly decides our fate is still that damned luck! "
Speaking up to this point, the three Magi present couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Even if they stepped out of the house, any one of them would be envied by the heavens in the eyes of others. However, they knew that the illusionary glory of the past did not help in advancing to rank 4. None of them had more than a 50% chance of reaching rank 4.
This also meant that leveling up was a huge gamble!
If they won the gamble, they would naturally advance to the next level and become a top-notch Magus that no one in the Magus World could restrain. However, if they lost the gamble … There were too many failures that left them depressed and unable to recover from the setback. There were countless cases of them becoming marginal figures.
Flipping through the historical records of the scattered Forest of Underground Towers, where were so many heaven-sent geniuses and geniuses? After all, only these fourteen people could be remembered by the people!
Perhaps this was the darkness hidden behind the glorious aura of the Magi community.
"I don't care what you think. Anyways … I will fight for those origin substance!" Broken Face Galo laughed sinisterly and turned to leave after saying this.
Wizard Dante sighed again and could only leave with a heavy heart.
