Seeing this familiar content, a strange expression appeared on Grim's face.
After a long while, he looked at Sines with a smile that did not seem like a smile, and said softly, "The last compulsory recruitment mission was also issued by you. That mission is still fresh in my memory! Now, you're recommending a similar mission to me … It seems like we're really fated. "
Sines laughed as well, "It is indeed fated. However, I gave that mission to Fred, who knew that he would push you out to make up the numbers. If not for that 'opportunity', I'm afraid you wouldn't have become a Great Magus so smoothly. It seems like it's really a coincidence … "
"Then Sir and Fred …"
"It's nothing. He just wants to use me to get a share of the camp's trade, so he'll give me a regular tribute! "
"Then wouldn't I be ruining your plans?"
"It's just some low-grade resources! Do you think a fellow who hides in a plane and doesn't even dare to participate in a large-scale planar war would have anything good? "Sines laughed as he explained," He did ask me for help before, but I rejected him! "
"Why?"
"So, most Great Magi who leave the Magus World are unwilling to participate in the internal struggles of the plane. Once they do, they'll trigger a backlash from the plane's consciousness. If the plane's consciousness messes with me and lowers my compatibility with laws, then wouldn't I lose more than I gain? Especially someone like you who's favored by the plane's consciousness, no one would dare to touch you … "
"I don't think so!" Grim seemed to have thought of something, and said, "I was attacked by a Great Magus' clone in the plane. His name seems to be … Douglas!"
"Douglas?" Sines asked in surprise, "Douglas of the Silver Alliance?"
"I don't know which side he belongs to, but from the signs, he's indeed very close to the people of the Silver Alliance." Grim hesitated for a moment.
"Then it's him!" Sines sighed, "Douglas, a fellow who became a Great Magus 1200 years ago. He's already at rank 6 now, and has long since left the Exodar camp. It's said … "
At this point, Sines raised his head and stole a glance at Grim. He then said in a low voice, "It's said that he's with a certain witch and has the intention of leaving the Silver Alliance. That's why he had no choice but to leave the camp to avoid trouble … Of course, these are all rumors! "
Witches … Avoiding calamity …
Grim furrowed his brows. He had a feeling that these two incidents were somehow related to him. However, he had never studied the art of divination, so he was unable to deduce some of the secrets behind these clues.
Seeing that Grim was deep in thought, Sines did not rush him. Instead, he picked up a book of Witchcraft and silently flipped through it.
After a long time, Grim finally raised his head and asked, "If I'm interested in this recruitment mission, who should I contact?"
"Hehehe … Just let me know and I'll help you contact them."
"Then Lord Sarubo …"
"You don't have to worry about that. I can guarantee that Lord Sarubo won't punish you for such a small matter. Moreover, if you participate in the mission, you might even meet Lord Sarubo there! "
Having obtained the information he wanted, Grim did not delay any further. After bidding farewell to Sines, he immediately returned to Steel City.
Of course, Grim wouldn't believe anything that Sines said. Thus, he instructed the heterotopic brain, Gaz 'rvi, to inquire about information related to this recruitment mission.
The heterotopic brain, Gaz 'rvi, had been stationed in Exodar's camp for more than two hundred years and had his own channels and channels. Not only that, but it had heard that there was not only one Enlistment Mission, but five.
This meant that the Magus faction was currently fighting against the five factions, and they had obviously spread the recruitment orders to all the places where Magi gathered. Any Magus who was interested in these missions or wanted to sharpen their willpower at the juncture of life and death could take the initiative to participate in these expeditions.
The rewards for these missions were also very generous!
At the very least, it was much better than staying in the camp and waiting to die.
From this point of view, Sines' recommendation of the recruitment missions could not be considered a scheme.
All the mission descriptions were more or less the same. Some were to attack the Demon Eye Empire, some were to wage war against the Abyss Realm, some were to attack the Dragon Plane … In short, manpower was needed everywhere, and armies were being prepared for war. It was completely different from the leisurely and relaxed Sorcerer life that Grim had imagined.
Grim hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he could not suppress his curiosity about the large-scale Planar War and contacted Sines.
After receiving Grim's confirmation, Sines was overjoyed. Grim couldn't help but wonder if Sines would also receive some benefits as a referrer.
However, Grimm didn't pursue these minor details and instead focused on arranging the affairs of the camp.
The construction of the Magus Tower in the Fire Elemental Plane was handed over to Sauk. With the waymark that Grim had left behind, as well as the assistance of the rank 4 Dragonweb Spider Queen Lakebess, the construction of the tower would not be disturbed by other fire elemental creatures.
The only problem now was to produce a batch of engineering magic equipment that could withstand the intense flames of the Fire Elemental Plane, as well as to purchase a large amount of stone and Spell Formation materials for the tower.
These things could not be rushed, and could only be gathered step by step.
According to the A.I. Chip's estimates, it would take at least five or six years to complete the Wizard's Tower.
During this period of time, Grim had nothing to do in the camp. It might not be a bad thing to take the opportunity to experience the large-scale Planar War that Sines had mentioned.
After all, this kind of recruitment mission was not compulsory. If Grim did not have a good time there, he could just return at any time. He would not have to worry about being sent to the most dangerous place like last time.
This was the main reason why Grim was willing to accept the recruitment mission!
Of course, the generous rewards were also a secondary factor.
Even though resources planes, Origin Substance, slaves … Even though these things were rare, as long as one was patient enough to collect them, they would definitely be rewarded. However, things like Level 5 materials were difficult to find in the camps outside the Planar War.
Grim had been lucky enough to obtain some Level 5 materials from the previous Planar War. At that time, he did not think that they were rare or precious. However, when he came to the Exodar Camp and explored the market, he was shocked to find that there was no market for Level 5 materials. No one would take them out to trade.
Even if there were occasional transactions, they were conducted by the Great Sorcerers through bartering, trading resources in private.
The Level 5 materials that Grim had previously obtained included a portion of the Multi-Headed Snake Lizard's body, as well as the remains and soul of the Multi-armed Giant. Apart from the Law Crystal and Magic Core that he could use, the rest were precious but could only be stored in the Fire Dimension for the time being.
Of course, if Grim could find a Master Puppeteer, he might be able to turn the Multi-armed Giant that had lost its heart and all its blood into a terrifying Level 5 Wizard Beast.
This way, Grimm would have another Tier 5 helper!
However, it was a pity that the strongest Puppet Master in the Exodar Camp was only Level 4. Such a fellow obviously did not have the ability to deal with such precious Level 5 materials.
He would rather wait than waste them. Left with no choice, Grim could only let the materials gather dust in the warehouse.
The Multi-armed Giant's Law Crystal was an Earth elemental Law of the Earth. It was not suitable for Grim to absorb and fuse with it, so he could only keep it in his hands to see if he could exchange it for a Fire elemental one.
As for the Multi-armed Giant's Magic Core and the extracted soul, he could create a Level 5 Magic Puppet. However, if he wanted to forge it successfully, he still needed some relatively rare level-5 materials, and these things just happened to be very difficult to find from the market.
Hence, Grim placed his hopes on the reward of the Level 5 materials for the recruitment mission.
It had to be said that once Magi were mobilized, their efficiency was rather high.
On the sixth day after Grim agreed to the recruitment mission, Theros informed him that he was leaving.
… …
This was a huge rock castle floating in the depths of the starry sky.
Its size was comparable to the main continent of a small plane, and those who could set foot on it were all powerful Sorcerers or elite Sorcerer Legions from all over the Sorcerer Faction.
However, at this moment, on an open-air teleportation platform on the 73rd floor of the Giant Rock Castle, the white light that represented an ultra-long distance teleportation began to dissipate, revealing a tall young man.
"You must be Great Magus Grim from the Exodar Camp. Please report to Lord Ironwald at the 7th Battle Hall … "Guarding the teleportation formation was a strange Magus with the head of a bird and the body of a human. It was only a Rank 3, but the power in its body was different from any Magus Grim had seen before.
Grim stood still for a moment. After the slight discomfort from the ultra-long distance teleportation, he finally had the opportunity to look at the scenery around him.
Above his head was a pitch-black night sky full of stars. A huge and magnificent energy barrier enveloped the entire Giant Rock Castle, isolating it from the scouring of the Mana Tide outside. It also made the environment a lot gentler.
Though the mana winds here were not as tyrannical as those in the outside world, the terrifying energy radiation was not something normal beings could withstand. According to the A.I. Chip's calculations, creatures that could move freely here had to be at least a high-grade rank 2.
