"Then what's the conclusion of your investigation? Did Mangles deserve it, or was he plotted against? "Chairman Royce adjusted his glasses and asked with a frown.
Hearing the chairman's question, the Wizards in the auditorium could not sit still anymore. They stood up and protested, "Our Lord Mangles must have been plotted against … Sir Chairman, you must avenge him!"
Looking at the chaotic auditorium, Chairman Royce's face instantly turned gloomy. He snorted, and a domineering aura instantly pressed down from the top of the hall.
"I don't want anyone to disturb me when I'm interrogating the case! If anyone can't do this, I'll kick him out myself. Hmph … "
Sensing the frightening prestige of the rank 4 chairman, these Magi who belonged to the same family as Mangles and his sister obediently sat down, and patiently continued to listen to the investigation of this death.
The Tier 3 Wizard, who was sent by the association to investigate the cause of Wizard Mangus's death, secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with difficulty, "We have no way of knowing what happened in the Morian Plane. Right now, we're applying to the association for a direct investigation on Wizard Grimm. However, he has the identity of an elder of the scattered Tower Forest Association. Without direct evidence, it's difficult for us to get close to him. "
"There's no direct evidence, so there's no indirect evidence?"
"Well … there seems to be a little!" Speaking up to this point, the rank 3 Wizard in charge of the investigation became even more hesitant.
"What is it?" The rank 4 chairman could not help but ask.
"When the 'tragedy' happened, the rank 7 great Wizard, Sir Irenwald, who was in charge of the Arcane Kingdom's mission, was also there. Listening to his words, it seems that he knows who the mastermind behind Lord Mangles's death is. But with our level … "
A rank 7 great Wizard …
Even if the other party really knew something, probably no one in the entire Wizard Association would dare to question him about it! It was no wonder that the rank 3 Wizard in charge of the investigation was hesitant and hesitant.
"Well, I've basically understood the whole process of the incident." At this point, Chairman Laoyes raised his head and swept a glance at the Magi of the Mangles siblings who were waiting anxiously. He said coldly, "Regarding your request for revenge, I, the chairman, will directly reject it. I will continue to report this case to the higher-ups of the association and ask them to send higher ranked wizards to contact the two travelers. Before that, I will not make any conclusions about the death of Wizard Mangus … "
Under the stern and dignified gaze of Chairman Lauyers, the Magi from the Mungers siblings' family could only hang their heads in dejection and accept everything.
"Alright, all of you can leave now! The next case that needs to be handled is the death of Wizard Hannah's curse … The person involved and the investigating wizard can come in now! "
Following the orderly exit and entry of the Magi, the Judgement Hall was replaced with a new batch of people and new stories …
…
Blazing Flame Monarch.
As the Crimson Sorcerers left the Wizard's Pagoda one after another, the place once again became Grimm, Alice, and Mary's world.
Alice was still calm and collected, but her slightly anxious eyes revealed a trace of concern.
"How's the origin of your soul? Is it badly injured? "
Mary also quietened down, looking at Grimm with the same concern.
Grimm had already completed the elemental energy transformation of his body and mind. Any damage could be repaired by replacing or reassembling the elemental energy. Logically speaking, there should not be a situation where his body was damaged and could not recover for a long time. If it really did happen, it could only mean that the damage to his body had already reached the origin of his soul. The damage to his body was only a reflection and reflection of the damage to his soul!
This kind of injury was usually very difficult to recover from.
"The sudden self-destruction of that fellow from the Wizard Association has damaged the origin of my soul. I'm afraid I'll need a long period of recuperation to recover." After giving a simple explanation of his injuries, Grimm curiously asked Alice, "Compared to my injuries, I'm actually more concerned about how that fellow from the Wizard Association was controlled by the Great Witch Mesa! Could it be … that the Great Witch Mesa can control the mind of a level 4 Magus at will? "
Mary's face was also filled with shock and fear.
Compared to the Sorcerers who lived in the Plane World, the Great Sorcerers were a completely different species. Due to excessive mutation or extreme modification, great Magi were completely different from ordinary Magi in terms of physique, bloodline, and soul.
Hence, whenever great Magi were mentioned, even a person like Mary who was not afraid of anything would be filled with awe!
A great Witch who could control the life and death of a level 4 Magus at will. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
"You've overestimated the Great Witch Mesa!" Alice chuckled, "She doesn't have the power to control the life and death of a level 4 Magus from a distant plane. The reason she could control that Magus to self-destruct was because of the Seed of Destiny that she planted hundreds of years ago. "
"Seed of Destiny? Hundreds of years ago? "Grimm cried out in disbelief.
"The Witches of Destiny are a very unique Magus Profession. This Profession has almost lost all offensive and defensive abilities, focusing all their power on divination and perception of destiny. However, this doesn't mean that the Witches of Destiny have no offensive power. It's just that their attacking methods are too strange and unimaginable! "
"The most common method they use is to control destiny and use the power of destiny to destroy their enemies."
"The way they control destiny is to plant a Seed of Destiny in the river of destiny, branded with their own Soul Imprint, and implant it into the key characters that may affect a certain branch of destiny."
"This means that hundreds of years ago, when Magus Magus was still very weak, Great Witch Mesa implanted the Seed of Destiny with her own weak Soul Imprint into his mind. However, this Seed of Destiny did not take the opportunity to grow and devour his Soul Imprint. It only lurked in the depths of his soul. "
"This way, she can activate the Seed of Destiny whenever she thinks it's appropriate and temporarily control the fate node. However, the stronger the fate node is, the weaker this control will be, and the shorter the duration. This is why she could only use the irreversible method of self-destruction to attack! "
"There's another person's Seed of Consciousness lurking in his Soul Imprint, but the Wizard has never been able to detect it?" Mary was shocked.
"If the Seed of Destiny is activated and remains active, it will naturally be noticed by the parasitic Wizards. But the great thing about Mesa is that she can keep the Seed of Destiny in a sealed state, without any conscious activity, and naturally, the host will not be able to detect it! Only at the moment of activation, the Seed of Destiny will instantly burst out with all its power and control everything in the host. "Alice could not help but sigh.
"You mean, this kind of hidden Seed of Destiny can't be detected at all, even you can't distinguish it. And everyone around us might suddenly become our enemy at some point in time? "Grim asked while gnashing his teeth." That's right. That's right.
It was no wonder that he was so angry. During the entire mission period of the Arcane Kingdom, he had invested a lot of resources and effort on the Mangles siblings. He also hoped to rely on them to find a perfect entry point in the Wizard Association so that they could open the door of a huge wizard organization.
But now, he had been protecting them all the time, supporting them through several difficult moments of the mission, and the final reward was … a terrible self-destruction!
If it wasn't for Grimm's strength that allowed him to survive the explosion, the outcome would have been different.
"It's not that the Seed of Destiny can't be detected at all, it just needs the other party to let go of all their minds. Do you think I have the time and the power to detect the minds of everyone around us? "Alice could not help but smile bitterly.
"So you mean, we have no means to prevent the invasion of the Great Witch Mesa's fate? We can't always be on guard against the people around us in everything we do in the future, right? "Grim's expression could not help but become dignified.
"Don't worry!" Alice comforted him. "Such a method is very extravagant even for a Great Witch. If the Seed of Destiny is too weak, it naturally can't threaten us. And if it's implanted in the body of a powerful Wizard, the probability of being discovered is quite high. The Wizard Magus who attacked you should be a semi-advanced Wizard, he's not a pure grade 4 Wizard. Otherwise, the control of the Seed of Destiny wouldn't be to this extent … "
Hearing Alice's explanation, Grim was a little relieved.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about such a depressing thing anymore. By the way, Grim, what did you get from this trip to the other plane? It shouldn't be just those bits and pieces of rubbish, right? "Mary couldn't help but get excited when she talked about treasures. She looked anxious and curious.
Those were precious arcane books and weapons full of foreign styles, but when it came to Mary, they were just bits and pieces of rubbish … Grim could not help but be speechless.
The trip to the Arcane Kingdom had indeed brought Grim a lot of income, and he also had the desire to show off in front of his two 'partners'.
Grim smiled and waved his hand to show off the real harvest of the trip!
Dozens of dark red bubbles suddenly floated in the hall, and each bubble contained a strange item. From books to materials, from treasures to weapons, there was everything that should be there, filling Ling Lang's eyes.
And among them, the energy aura lingering around them was emitting a misty purple light.
This was the elemental aura unique to grade 4 items.
Meanwhile, two dark-red bubbles hovered above the Tier 4 items, radiating a different kind of light. The light radiating from these bubbles gave off an oppressive feeling.
