Sorcerer World, Northern Witch Territory.
Tower of Fate.
The daily prayer ceremony had just ended, and dozens of Witches of Fate were leaving the Astrology Hall in an orderly manner. As the host, Alice was still standing in the center of the Starlight Spell Circle, feeling the power of fate that was pouring into her body like raindrops.
"Teacher, you seem to have a lot on your mind today …" A crisp and sweet female voice came from behind. It was Lucia.
After so many years, Lucia, who had the title of 'Lady of Fate', had grown from a little girl to a beautiful young lady. She had a round face, a high nose bridge, thin lips, big eyes that were as bright as black grapes, and a youthful and hot figure. All of these vividly displayed her beauty and charm.
However, what was strange was that she was not wearing the Starlight Robe that the Witches of Fate usually wore. Instead, she was wearing a very simple arcane robe. However, in order to show her identity as an astrologer, she drew magic patterns that represented the sun, the moon, and the stars on the corners of the arcane robe.
Alice sighed and turned around. She looked at Lucia from head to toe and said quietly, "So, you still want to be an arcanist?"
"Yes!" Lucia said softly, but the determination in her eyes was obvious, "I firmly believe that only arcana that is painstakingly studied can represent the truth of the world! However, the power of fate that we pray for day and night is always given to us by outsiders … "
"Power is power. Is there a difference?" Alice's eyes were filled with unconcealable love and admiration.
"Yes! Fate can give us power, but it can also take it away. When fate no longer favors us, we will have nothing and become real waste. But arcana is different … No one can take away the arcana that we have studied, no one! "
Alice sighed again. She reached out her hand and gently stroked Lucia's silky hair. She was distressed and said, "Little girl, you have to know that if you always have this kind of idea, you will never be able to reach level four! Fate needs wholeheartedness, not half-heartedness! "
"I know, but I'd rather believe in my own power!" Although Lucia was young, she was already a grade three arcanist and a grade three astrologer.
Arcanists required their followers to open their eyes, embrace the truth of the world, and abandon all irrational and non-intellectual content. Astrologers required their followers to close their eyes, devoutly throw themselves into the embrace of destiny, and follow the guidance of destiny wholeheartedly …
In essence, these two professions were diametrically opposed. It could even be said that they were as incompatible as fire and water!
But what was surprising was that they actually fused perfectly in Lucia's body!
"What plans do you have for your future?" Alice asked curiously.
"I'm going to work hard to improve myself and then go to the Abyss realm …" Lucia said through clenched teeth.
"Why would he go to the Abyss realm? That place is filled with evil and ugly demonic creatures. They won't welcome a beauty like you! "
"I have to go there!" Lucia solemnly said, "Because I've already asked around. Many of the surviving Arcana Masters have fled to the Abyss realm and are struggling to survive there. I … I want to struggle together with them! "
Alice sighed again and softly said, "The demons of the Abyss realm don't care if you have ideals or beliefs. They will only tear your flesh and devour your soul … Those companions of yours have already lived in the Abyss realm for more than two hundred years. Are you sure they are still the same as before?"
"I don't know! Perhaps most of them have already been contaminated by the Will of the Abyss! But even so, I still want to go and take a look … Even if only one of my companions survives, I still want to pull him out! " For some reason, when Lucia said this, a pure and holy light actually appeared on her soft and beautiful face.
"Then you must work hard! The status of a grade three arcanist is definitely not enough. You need to have at least grade five strength to be qualified to roam the Abyss realm. "
"I know, so I will work even harder!"
"Now I finally understand what you believe in! You are not a non-believer, but you do not believe in external things, but in your heart … Perhaps this is the biggest difference between you and me! "
"Teacher Alice, you … you have so many thoughts today. Could it be that you are thinking about Grim again?" Lucia finally asked curiously.
Alice's previous image of a benevolent and compassionate elder immediately collapsed.
She rolled her eyes at Lucia and said bitterly, "If you don't want to become a Witch of Destiny, then don't call me teacher anymore. Just call me sister!"
"Then … Sister Alice, were you thinking about Lord Grim just now?" Lucia obviously did not want to let this matter go and continued to ask with a smile.
"Ahem …" Alice sighed and hugged Lucia in her arms, faintly saying, "I'm not thinking about him … I'm worried about him!"
"Isn't thinking about him the same as worrying about him?" Lucia's head popped out of Alice's arms and asked in surprise, "Besides, I heard that Grim is doing quite well! He even brought a lot of good things from the Outer Realm to Mary … My goodness, those things are so good that even I want to see them! Sister, are you angry that he didn't bring you any gifts? "
Alice did not know what to do and could only press Lucia's small head into her arms again.
"Ah … Sister Alice, are you trying to suffocate me? You … you seem to have grown a little bigger there! "
"Bad guy, you've become as bad as him now!" Alice's face immediately became red, but it was immediately covered by a strong sense of sadness.
"Sister, what's on your mind?"
"This is the sorrow of us Witches of Destiny!" Alice did not know why she liked to sigh more and more, "I can see fate and know what will happen to my lover, but I can't say it out loud."
Lucia was shocked.
This time, she obediently didn't ask any questions and just listened quietly.
She was also a grade 3 Astrologer, so she naturally knew about the taboos of the Witches of Destiny. Many things could not be said out loud, because once they were said out loud, it would interfere with the known fate. At that time, there would be more unpredictable and uncontrollable branches and forks in fate.
Therefore, Alice would say a lot of things that she was willing to say and could say out loud. But what she could not say would be harmful to Lucia if she asked.
"Lucia, maybe you made the right choice! The longer you walk on the path of fate, the lonelier you will be. Even if you see the great horror of your lover's fate, you can't say or do anything about it. "
"If I don't say or do anything, maybe he still has a chance to live. But if I say or do something, maybe he won't even have a chance to live … "
"I … I'm really in pain and powerless … Sometimes I really hate this ability of mine … Maybe, being ignorant of the arrangement of fate and living happily every day now is the true happiness!"
Alice said everything in one breath and hugged Lucia tightly. Tears finally flowed down her face, wetting her beautiful hair.
Lucia also let out a silent sigh and hugged him even tighter.
… …
Fire Elemental Plane, Blazing Flame Monarch.
When the Magus Tower that reached the clouds released a dazzling light, the area around the Molten Altar was no longer ownerless. It had become the abode of the Great Magus Serholm, Grimm.
Logically speaking, a human Magus occupying the land of the Fire Elemental Plane would definitely cause an uproar, which would lead to the interference of high-ranked Fire Elemental Creatures.
However, Grimm, who walked the path of the upper echelons, had long since built a good relationship with the Flame Monarchs and dealt with a few troublemakers near his territory.
Hence, when he showed his flag and marked his territory, not only did it not cause an uproar among the natives of the Fire Elemental Plane, many envoys of the Flame Monarchs came to congratulate him.
Of course, the Flame Monarch Zetas and Thanos did not come personally, nor did they bother to pay attention to Grimm, who was just a passerby. However, for the sake of the Flame Monarch Grooms, they still sent their own envoys with some gifts as a form of greeting.
After all, Grimm could enter the Fire Elemental Plane using Grooms' route. Hence, he was regarded as a member of Grooms' faction by the outsiders.
Grimm did not admit or deny this point, but just vaguely dealt with it!
It could not be helped. After all, Grimm was still an outsider to the Fire Elemental Plane. Although he had established a relationship with the plane's consciousness due to the World Sacrifice, he was still not a native of the Fire Elemental Plane.
Thus, he had no choice but to pull down the tiger's skin to block the natives' mouths!
Fortunately, Grimm's identity as a Fire Wizard was suitable for the environment here, so the natives did not reject him.
After the Flame Monarch's Wizard Pagoda started to operate, Grimm ended his days of wandering around or living under someone else's roof. He finally had a "home" of his own.
After taking care of some matters in the Wizard World and Exorda Camp, he seriously settled down in seclusion in the Flame Monarch's Wizard Pagoda, starting the next step of raising his power.
During the Beast Slaying Campaign, he had eaten his fill to the brim.
The Divinity Fragments were temporarily sealed, waiting for him to find the best way to use them. A large amount of Divinity was directly absorbed by him. A part of it was used to increase his body's basic stats, while another part was used to nourish his Star Beast Bloodline, which was getting stronger and stronger.
