After leaving the platform and passing through a half-suspended stone path, Grimm reached a wooden door that led to the interior of the Giant Rock Castle.
In front of the wooden door, two shield-sword golems stood side by side, quietly standing there.
Sensing Grimm's approach, a thin red ray shot out from the black hole in the middle of the two golems' heads and hit Grimm's body.
[Beep. Detected a detection spell. Do you want to counteract it?]
"No need!"
Grimm stood there calmly as the red ray swept across his body.
Immediately after, the two golems moved to the left and right, and a strange mechanical sound came from their bodies.
[Test passed. Please enter!]
Behind the door was a long stone path that was three meters wide and five meters tall. It extended to the left and right, and along the way, there were wooden doors that were arranged in a disorderly manner.
As soon as Grimm stepped through the wooden door, a young female Magus who had been waiting hurriedly bowed and said in a crisp voice, "Welcome, Lord Grimm!"
Grimm's dark red eyes swept across and instantly saw through the Magus in front of him.
Grade 3 … Elemental … Wind element …
However, although she had the appearance of a female human, her internal structure was completely different from that of a normal human. Her appearance also had the strong smell of a modified spell.
Humanoid … Secondary plane … Foreign Magus …
A string of mysterious words floated in Grimm's mind, and he seemed to understand a little.
The young female Magus shivered under Grimm's cold gaze. She could sense that in just a short moment, all of her secrets had been seen through by this mysterious Great Sorcerer in front of her.
The huge difference in rank made her like a little white rabbit in front of a tiger or a wolf. She could only rely on her strong willpower to resist the instinctive fear and cowering in her soul.
Fortunately, Grimm's A.I. Chip could only scan her for a moment, or else the spiritual pressure and energy radiation would have caused real damage to her soul.
"Please follow me, my Lord. You've just arrived, so you need to greet Wizard Gleeson, who is in charge of recruitment. " This young female Magus was obviously well-trained. Even though her body was still shivering, the smile on her face was still as sweet as ever.
"Gleeson?" Grim hesitated.
"It's a Grade 6 Great Sorcerer. He's in charge of receiving Sorcerers like you who are summoned. Moreover, he's also in charge of the subsequent assignments … "When she said the last sentence, the young witch's tone became heavier, as if she was reminding him of something.
Grim nodded and said nothing more.
The two of them quickly shuttled through the twists and turns of the stone passageways within Giant Rock Castle. Along the way, they passed by many elite Magi who were on guard. However, after seeing the young female Magus leading Grimm, the elite Magi looked at Grimm with respect and envy.
Walking all the way, he passed through the outer security corridor and once again stepped onto a two li long stone path in the air. This stone path was the only passage connecting the inner and outer areas of the castle. Therefore, the number of warning runes and detection runes on it was staggering.
Grimm strolled on the stone path and even had the time to admire the spectacular scenery around him.
This was a path suspended in the air.
The large and deep space was filled with stone platforms floating in the air. Every platform was a few li wide, and they were packed with all sorts of powerful and ferocious wizard beasts and war golems.
In the darkness, they stood silently. Even the most ferocious Wizard Beasts maintained their silence. Only their eyes, which were open, emitted a scarlet and ferocious red light.
At a glance, the entire space, from top to bottom, left to right, seemed to have become a sea of red.
There were no weaklings among those who could establish a foothold here!
The A.I. Chip was able to estimate the basic strength of the wizard beasts and war golems just by looking at the energy emitted by them. Most of them were Grade 1 or 2 magic creatures, with a small number of Grade 3 ones making up about 10% of the total.
This number might not sound impressive at first, but considering the hundreds of thousands of people at the scene, 10% of it was already very terrifying.
"Are these cannon fodder for the war?" Grimm asked curiously.
"No, they're Lord Irenwald's personal army. The real cannon fodder are stationed in the other Rock Castles. They're mainly vassal legions and foreign armies from various secondary planes. Their numbers are also a hundred times greater than here! "The young female Magus replied delicately.
Although she did not speak in detail, the information revealed in her words was enough to shake Grimm's heart.
In Grimm's previous understanding, a so-called plane expedition was to send vanguard troops to infiltrate a plane and establish a small outpost camp, which would then be used as a base to attract reinforcements. The method of controlling a plane was mainly through cooperation and infiltration. The main point was to gather the original rulers of the plane into their hands, and then use the original ruling order to control the entire plane.
Occasionally, when they had surplus troops, they could launch a large-scale invasion of the plane and fight with the natives of the plane with real swords and spears. If they won, they would obtain the resources and population of a world. If they lost, they would return to their lair to lick their wounds and prepare for the next invasion.
However, most of these experiences were against low-level planes that were weaker than the Magus World. If they were facing a plane that was on par with the Magus World, how would they fight a war? Even Grimm could not figure out how to carry out an invasion.
But now that he had caught a glimpse of it, Grim could faintly sense that the depth, scope, and intensity of a true large-scale Planar War had far exceeded his expectations.
Even he was a little anxious about what a war would be like!
In a small or medium-sized plane war, the existence of a Grade 5 Magus was already a terrifying force that could determine the outcome. In a large-scale plane war, a Grade 5 Magus like him was only a small part of a huge war machine.
Although he looked noble, the role he could play was not as great as imagined. At the very least, it was not decisive!
After passing through the suspended road and several tightly guarded checkpoints, Grimm followed the young female Magus into the inner area.
The flow of people here was obviously much higher than in the outer area.
The spacious and bright hall was bustling with people. They were either Elemental Spellcasters wearing Sorcerer robes and holding staffs, or tall and muscular Anatomy Refinement Sorcerers wearing sword armor, or Summoners with contracted beasts on their shoulders, or Bloodline Sorcerers with a strong bloodline aura on their bodies …
The large hall was packed with people, shoulders rubbing against each other. It was so lively that it was surprising. However, when Grimm looked around, he saw that less than half of the Magi were humans. The rest were Magi of other races with strange appearances or eye-catching symbols of their races.
There were also many who had concealed their figures, making it difficult to distinguish their gender and race.
Even the weakest Magus here was a Grade 3 Magus, and the proportion of Grade 4 Magi was quite high.
However, with Grimm's appearance, the bustling crowd in the hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone who saw the young female Magus and Grimm behind her could not help but be surprised. They hurriedly hid to the sides of the road, making space in the middle.
"It's the Great Magus …"
"There's a Great Magus, be careful not to offend the Lord …"
Behind his back, the whispers never stopped.
"My Lord, please follow me!" The young female Magus leading the way proudly raised her head and led Grimm through the crowd. They passed through the hall and turned into a stone staircase that spiraled upwards.
Only when Grimm disappeared from sight did the hall resume its flow, as if a pause button had been pressed. However, many Tier 3 and Tier 4 Sorcerers who had personally witnessed Grim's feat could not help but gather together and discuss the matter.
"Is that a new Lord? I've never seen him before, he looks unfamiliar … "
"Yeah, I've never seen him in the crystal hall before. He should have just arrived today!"
"He looks like he came from the main plane …"
"That's right, Sanazar, didn't you come from the main plane as well? You … You've never seen this Lord before? "
The one being questioned was a tall woman who was hidden in a blurry purple mist. The purple fog was thin and could only isolate her aura, but it could not completely conceal her figure.
Looking at her appearance, figure, and bearing, she was the Grade 3 Magus who had disappeared from the scattered towers for a long time, Sanazar.
Hearing the questions from her companions, Sanazar, whose aura surged and was on the verge of breaking through to Grade 4, had an awkward and conflicted expression on her face. After being questioned by the others, she gritted her teeth and said angrily, "I don't know him! There are so many Grade 4 monsters in the continent, I know a few … Don't ask. "
After saying all this, she ignored the stunned gazes of her companions and turned to rush towards the direction of her residence.
As she ran, her heart trembled, and her face covered in purple fog looked even more perplexed.
At that moment, Grimm's immense spiritual force had enveloped the entire area. Although she was hiding behind her companions, she did not have the confidence to hide from his spiritual senses.
He had already advanced to a Great Magus …
He had already advanced to a Great Magus …
He had already advanced to a Great Magus …
This heavy piece of information kept circling in her mind, causing her to be panic-stricken and at a loss as to what to do.
She had originally thought that by struggling on the line between life and death and desperately honing her abilities, she would be able to stand on equal footing with Grimm the moment she advanced to Grade 4. Who would have thought that Grimm had already taken an even more crucial step, leaving her even further behind …
