The Blazing Flame Monarch.
Ever since he returned from the Morian Plane, Grimm had spent most of his time hiding in the Wizard's Pagoda, aside from a trip to the outer regions.
Now that his soul was damaged and crippled, it was the best time for his enemies to take revenge on him!
Hence, Grimm would not step out of the Wizard's Pagoda if he could avoid it. He would not give his enemies the chance to assassinate him or set up traps.
Unfortunately, the wind would not stop even when the tree desired peace!
On the seventh day after Grimm harvested the Shadow Devil, a guest from afar broke the peace of the Blazing Flame Monarch. Grimm had no choice but to leave his laboratory and meet the guest at the second level of the Wizard's Pagoda.
The first person Grimm saw when he entered the guest room was the familiar face of Vice Chairman Mirva.
It had only been a few days since they last met, but this cunning vice chairman looked much more haggard than before. There were already signs of aging on him.
This was not a common sight!
At level 4, there were countless secret techniques such as youth rejuvenation and other techniques. If it did not work, there were many ways to alter one's body so that one's appearance and figure could be maintained at their peak and most beautiful.
Only when a level 4 Magus entered the later stages of their lifespan, as their Wizard Power and mental energy weakened, would they show signs of aging that could not be concealed.
Grimm had a feeling that Vice Chairman Mirva would not live for more than a hundred years!
Grimm's gaze only lingered on Vice Chairman Mirva for a moment before quickly turning to the other level 4 Magus.
He could sense that this unfamiliar level 4 Magus was the main character of this trip. As for Vice President Mirva, he was just a guest accompanying him.
"Welcome, welcome … It's rare for Vice Chairman Mirva to visit my humble abode. I feel immensely honored!" Grimm greeted Mirva with a smile, and naturally changed the topic to the other Magus, "Sir, you look unfamiliar. How should I address you?"
This unfamiliar male Magus was obviously not from the scattered towers. He wore a purple robe and had a kind expression. He looked to be in his middle years, and wore the unique magic badge of the Wizard Association on his chest.
The Wizard Association … Grimm narrowed his eyes, already guessing the other party's intentions.
"You must be the famous Legendary Fire Wizard Grimm! You're indeed as the rumors say, young, promising, and talented … I'm Belloni from the Wizard Association. I have some questions that I'd like to ask you in person today! " Belloni's face was full of a gentle smile, but the sharp eyes inadvertently revealed that he was not as easy to talk to as he looked on the surface.
"Since the two of you have something to talk about, I won't keep you company!" Milwa was obviously a sly old fox. Although he was the one who accompanied them, he obviously didn't want to get involved. After a simple greeting, he turned around and left.
When only Grim and Belloni were left in the room, the latter finally spoke again.
"Mr. Grim, it is said that our association's Wizard Mangus traveled with you in the Morian Plane and returned to the outer realm together … Is this true?"
"Not bad!"
"That is to say, Wizard Mangus was still alive before he was teleported back to the outer realm, but he suddenly died during the teleportation, and … his death has something to do with you!" Belloni was still smiling as he asked, but there was a hidden sharpness in his words.
"He died by self-destructing, and the purpose of self-destructing was to kill me … I believe you can clearly investigate this if you visit the wizards who returned at the same time," Grim said calmly.
"Of course we have investigated … The conclusion is almost the same as what you have said. From the situation at the scene, it seems that Wizard Mangus took the initiative to attack you, so his death can't be completely blamed on you. However, what we are more concerned about is … Why did he do this? Did he have some grudge against you, or was he controlled by someone else? This is the focus of our investigation now! "
"Since you have been investigating for so long, you should have some conclusions by now! You can't possibly suspect that I was the one who controlled Mangus and caused him to almost kill me! "
"Of course we won't suspect Mr. Grim … However, we must find the real culprit behind the scenes. Although Wizard Mangus's strength was a little weak, and he didn't have many connections, he was still an official high ranking wizard registered in the Wizard Association. No matter who killed him, we, the Sorcerer Association, have the responsibility to investigate and exact revenge! "
"The mastermind behind the scenes can easily control a rank 4 wizard, so it must be those old guys who are free and unfettered in the outer realm. Are you sure you have the ability to take revenge?" Grim squinted his eyes, and there was no trace of a smile on his face. He seemed especially serious.
"This is not something you need to worry about, sir!" Wizard Belloni said with a 'sincere' smile on his face, "It's not like we don't have a great wizard supporting us. We can deal with the internal affairs of the Wizard World, but as for the affairs of the outer realm, as long as we report it, there will naturally be someone more powerful to deal with it. Therefore, we just need a name to confirm whether our investigation is correct or not. I'm sure Mr. Grim won't mind telling us the name of the person who killed you, right? "
Grim thought carefully for a long time, and finally squeezed out a name that he hated the most from the gaps of his teeth.
"Medusa!"
Being able to borrow the power of the Wizard Association to deal with Great Witch Medusa was a good thing that Grim couldn't ask for more. However, introducing a bigger variable into the battle between Alice and Medusa was something that even Grim couldn't estimate if it would have a negative impact on Alice.
The battle between the two Witches of Destiny was too strange and too unbelievable!
From all aspects, when Great Witch Medusa faced Alice, she had an overwhelming advantage in terms of strength.
However, in the past series of remote battles, Great Witch Medusa had obviously lost her level. The death traps she created were full of mistakes, which did not match her status and strength.
The reason why this happened was because she had unscrupulously interfered with the operation of the river of destiny. The stronger she was, the more she interfered with destiny, and the more severe the backlash of destiny would be.
If not for Alice's existence, with Great Witch Medusa's familiarity and control of destiny, she would not have lost her professionalism to such an extent. However, in order to counter Medusa, the consciousness of the Sorcerer World's plane was especially biased towards Alice in this battle of destiny.
Once the two powerful witches, who were equally familiar with the operation of the river of destiny, became enemies, the entire trajectory of destiny would be thrown into a complete mess.
Overall, Great Witch Medusa was stronger, and she had thousands of years of planning and planning. Overall, she was still in a state of complete suppression. However, although Alice did not have the means to control the layout of destiny, she still had the ability to cause trouble and destruction.
An incomparably huge metal puppet could be paralyzed by a small stone stuck in its core machinery. This was the case for Alice. Although she had no way to challenge Medusa's authority in the control of the river of destiny, she could cause some small damage and cause Medusa's layout and plan to collapse because of a small 'accident'.
She still had this kind of ability!
In the past, Alice had relied on this method to survive a series of attacks by Great Witch Medusa.
However, she had hurt herself by harming the enemy a thousand times!
Alice, as well as her family and helpers, had also suffered a lot from the backlash of the plane.
One of the main reasons why Alice had been hiding in the Tower of Destiny all year round, rarely communicating with the outside world, was because she did not want the backlash of destiny to affect her family.
To put it bluntly, those who were not 'tough' enough would definitely die a horrible death if they got too close to Alice! Grimm had made many enemies, going through one battle after another, and had to go through a test of life and death from time to time.
This was the most fundamental reason!
Destiny was treacherous and unpredictable …
Destiny was capricious …
It was precisely because of the unpredictable nature of destiny that Grimm became hesitant about revealing Medusa's name to the other party.
"It really is her …" Upon hearing Medusa's name, Wizard Belloni's face did not show much surprise. Instead, he exchanged a few more words with Grimm, then got up and left.
After Belloni left the Flame Monarch, Grimm stood in the guest hall for a while before returning to the upper levels of the Wizard's Pagoda.
The experiment was a success!
Be it the cunning Mirwa or Belloni from the Wizard Association, none of them detected the existence of the Shadow Demon. Of course, this was also because they were in Grimm's personal Wizard's Pagoda, and did not dare to scan their surroundings with their mental energy.
However, the fact that the newly created Shadow Demon had such concealment abilities was enough to make Grimm overjoyed!
After returning to the upper levels of the Wizard's Pagoda, Grimm made another mental communication with the faraway Gargamel and received another piece of good news.
The Crimson Family and Molten City had signed a secret trade contract. In the future, the Crimson Family would be able to exchange Dragon Blood, Dragon Bones, Dragon Crystals and other high level resources for the Queeras Alloy produced by Molten City.
According to the amount of the trade, Grimm estimated that they would be able to create a Magic Furnace every two months. This also meant that the Crimson Family would have an additional Floating Battleship every two months.
This was extremely important to the expansion of the Crimson Family's strength!
However, just as Grimm ended his mental communication with the Gargamel, the Wizard's Pagoda Spirit suddenly sent him a warning.
