"Mary's in danger?"
Grimm asked in surprise.
In the magic mirror, Alice sighed quietly.
"You're underestimating the natives of these planes. Though they can't compare to the Magus World in many aspects, they can still give birth to a few powerful beings. "
"What's in Heisen Plane?"
"The native gods, the totem gods recorded in the books!"
Grimm fell silent.
In just a few moments, the A.I. Chip had pulled out all the information related to totem gods from its database, allowing Grimm to understand the danger Mary was facing.
Totem gods could barely be considered gods of regions. They weren't like other gods who placed their divine kingdoms in planes that were unreachable by the mortal world. The divine kingdoms of totem gods were hidden in material planes, giving mortals a chance to come into contact with them.
When encountering such gods, Magi only had to fight steadily and not casually barge into their divine kingdoms. That way, they would still have a certain advantage in terms of martial strength.
After all, totem gods were rank 5 beings in their own divine kingdoms. Once they left their divine kingdoms, they would be restricted by the laws of the plane, and could only display strength of around rank 4. This was one of the main reasons why they weren't willing to step out of their divine kingdoms.
Therefore, the Sorcerers had a way to deal with these Totem Gods.
They would slaughter their worshippers and weaken their faith, then set up a trap outside to force the totem gods to leave their divine kingdoms and fight them outside.
"You mean … Mary is going to run into the nest of the Winged Serpent God and fight it?" Grimm couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
"Looking at the current situation, it's hard to say if Mary is lucky or unlucky!" Alice sighed faintly, "She's lucky. The Winged Serpent God that Mary is facing has just given birth to a descendant, and its strength has fallen from initial rank 5 to high rank 4 …"
Hearing this, let alone the others, even Grimm couldn't help but lick his lips, his mouth feeling parched.
A divine object whose strength had been greatly reduced due to 'production' was an irresistible temptation for any Tier 4 Sorcerer. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity!
However, after spending so many years in the Sorcerer World, Grim knew that there were always risks and opportunities that went hand in hand. The greater the benefit, the greater the risk. There was always a direct proportion between the two.
"You haven't said 'misfortune' yet!" Grim asked calmly.
"That Quetzalcoatl seems to be feigning weakness. When Mary led the vampires to invade its kingdom step by step and wantonly slaughtered its people, it also chose to show weakness and lure the enemy in. Currently, Mary is leading people to the capital of the Troll Demon Kingdom. That is also the nest of the Feathered Serpent God. "
At this point, Alice glanced at Grim with a worried expression.
"I can sense that there will be a fierce battle between the two sides in the future. However, I still couldn't see how the situation would develop. After all, that place is the Feathered Serpent God's lair. With the Power of Faith shrouding it, even though I've reached Tier 4, I can't see through the lair's defenses, much less see how the situation unfolds. "
"Does that mean Mary will be in danger?" Grim asked in a low voice.
"That's a different plane. My Fate Perception can't reach that far. However, I can sense that Mary is at a huge turning point in her fate. One step is life, the other is death. There are too many factors that will affect the future … "
"I'll immediately inform Gargamel and Meryl. We'll do our best to help Mary. The Demonic Mechanical Legion, Demonic Puppet Dragons … I want all of them transferred. I don't believe that the bodies of the natives of this plane can withstand the impact of the Berserk Magic Machines. If that Quetzalcoatl wants to play dirty, I'll send people to destroy its nest! "When Grim heard that Marie was in danger, his anger flared up.
"Ahem, you still don't understand what I mean …" Alice sighed again, "This is a dangerous situation, but it's also an opportunity! Don't you want Mary to have a bright future? Then this adventure is an opportunity for her. If she grasps it, the opportunity belongs to her. If she doesn't grasp it, or if we carelessly interfere, then the opportunity that belongs to her will slip away. "
At this point, Alice glanced at Grim again.
"Are you sure you want Mary to become a little witch who will forever depend on you? You'll bear all the dangers for her, and you won't give up all the opportunities. You'll just let her stay safely under your wings? "
Grim was speechless.
"Moreover, Mary's personality is still there! Do you think she'll like such a life? To put it bluntly, she's risking her life alone. It's obvious that she was affected by the news of my advancement. At this time, if we deprive her of the best opportunity to rise, she'll go crazy … "
Grim muttered to himself for a moment before finally making up his mind.
"Shadow Fiend, immediately go to the Heisen Plane and find and protect Lady Mary. Remember, as long as Mary isn't in danger of dying, no matter how heavy the losses of the vampires are, don't make a move. Go … "
Following Grimm's order, a ripple came from the shadow beneath him, and then everything returned to normal. If Grim didn't have a trace of soul connection with the Shadow Fiend, even he wouldn't be able to detect its departure.
"This arrangement is actually enough!" Alice nodded, "Mary isn't a fool. If she wasn't certain, she wouldn't have stepped into that stinky snake's nest. In the end, it's just a Grade 4 feathered serpent that has grasped a part of the power of divine spells. Moreover, it's still hatching its offspring. Although Mary will have to take a certain risk, there's still a chance. It all depends on whether she can grasp it or not! "
Since he had already made arrangements, Grim forced himself not to think about what happened in the other plane. Instead, he changed the topic.
"How did you advance to Grade 4 this time? Could it be related to the 'Child of the Plane' you mentioned last time? "
Speaking of this, Alice's face immediately lit up with joy.
"The reason why I was able to advance this time is all because of the strange soul you brought back from the Morian Plane. Relying on her, I abducted a huge amount of power of destiny from the dying Morian Plane, and only then was I able to advance. "
"What about that soul?"
"She brought me the power of destiny, and I gave her an energy body. Now, she's in my Tower of Destiny, locking herself in my private library. She's almost desperately memorizing the knowledge of witchcraft … "
"She's an arcane apprentice, and she's also a 'Child of the Plane'. Aren't you worried that she'll cause trouble in the future? "
"Let her cause trouble!" Alice said leisurely, "It's not me who's protecting her now, but the Sorcerer World's power of destiny. I don't know what the plane's consciousness is thinking about her, but it's obviously treating her differently. "
Seeing Alice mention this, Grim hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but ask.
"Alice, with your knowledge, what's the essential difference between us wizards and arcanists? Could it be that we have a common origin? "
Alice smiled faintly.
"We're wizards, not mages, nor arcanists. We came from chaos, and will eventually return to chaos. Even if we're seen as evil by all beings, it can't change our origin. If we want to become wizards, danger, taboo, and the unknown will always be with us. "
"Those sorcerers and arcanists were originally of the same origin as us. However, for the so-called spreading of civilization and knowledge, they eliminated the part that belonged to Chaos in the original system time and time again. All the dangerous and unknown parts of sorcery were removed, and they were castrated into spells or arcana that could be cast and released in a systematic way." "That's right. That's right.
"This indeed improved the universality of witchcraft, allowing those who were originally talented or not to be able to become a member of the system. However, this kind of castrated witchcraft will also be greatly weakened, and it will also lose the trace of the origin connection with the plane world. "
"Moreover, what determines the strength of a spellcaster group is the number of members, or the power of the leader. Grim, you're already a grade 4 wizard, so you should be able to understand, between a grade 4 and ten grade 3, which is more valuable? "
"Just look at you now, how many grade 3 wizards do you need to be able to fight against you? Ten, a hundred, or even two hundred? I'm afraid in your eyes, no matter how many grade 3 creatures there are, they're not enough to be your real enemy! "
"The perished Arcane Empire also created such a beautiful and brilliant arcane civilization. They, like us, belonged to the spellcasters, and they had a similar origin. But in their development, they abandoned the overly bloody and cruel part of the primitive spellcasters, and standardized and systematized the primitive witchcraft. They called this behavior civilization, called it progress, but what was their result? "
"Such a huge empire, such abundant resources, if they didn't pursue stability, if they didn't castrate themselves, I'm afraid that many arcanists of the great wizard level could be pulled out by blood sacrifice alone! If there was a grade 9 great arcanist in the system of the Arcane Empire, would the entire Arcane Empire still be attacked and invaded by the enemies? "
"Arcanists are gentle, knowledgeable, and amiable, but they almost never temper their body and spirit. Usually, they rely more on arcane facilities to cast spells and fight. Wizards are evil and selfish, and they almost never care whether their means are in line with the perception and value orientation of the secular society. Even in many cases, wizards will be cruel to their own kind, and they don't reject forbidden witchcraft such as blood sacrifice and voodoo. "
