It was still the same magic hall.
The 3 wizards stood there quietly, looking at Grim and Mary who were trapped in the same place with a suspicious look. In the corner of the hall, Alice was lying there peacefully. She seemed to have lost consciousness.
Out of the 3, Grim only knew the wizard called Cogan. Needless to say, the other 2 were also wizards from the Salubo family. Especially the black-robed old man with a cold face. Although he didn't have any shocking power of will, when Grim looked at him, he could feel a chill in his bones.
"Is Anderson dead?" The black-robed old man asked coldly.
When he opened his mouth, the other 2 wizards did not say anything. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Grim wanted to say something, but he didn't know how these wizards from the Salubo family would deal with them. He didn't want to say too much, so he just nodded.
"Idiot! He really is an idiot! A coward like him, who doesn't even dare to step onto the battlefield, was actually killed by a Sorcerer-Apprentice that he nurtured. He really is stupid enough! "The black-robed old man tilted his face and instructed," Go and see what's left of Anderson! "
Wizard Cogan bowed and left.
If the secret plane was not broken, it would be very difficult to find it. However, Grim had just corroded a big hole in the secret plane's dimensional barrier, so it would be very easy to find it.
A moment later, Corgan had already returned, and in his hand was Anderson's remains. However, what made them slightly change their expressions was that the inside of the body had been eaten into a human shape. Countless black scorpions were crawling in and out of it.
"He's really dead!" The black-robed old man said coldly, "It seems like his preparations have benefited you guys! Good, good, good … An idiot in exchange for 3 wizards. It's not a bad deal! "
Grimm lowered his head to hide the shock in his eyes.
From the words of this Tier 2 Magus, it was not hard to tell that the Salubo Family knew Anderson's every move very well, including the blood sacrifices he had secretly arranged. If Wizard Anderson's plan was successful and he successfully became a rank 2 wizard, these people in front of him would be here to congratulate him and sign a new contract with him.
This cold reality revealed a truth that frightened Grim. In the eyes of these official Sorcerers, the lives of apprentices were basically resources that could be used at will. Perhaps the higher-ups of the Magi organisations strictly forbade this sort of behaviour, but for the various Magus families, as long as they could increase their own family's strength, it was fine to do things in secret!
Since the Salubo Family also hoped that Wizard Anderson could succeed, then … How would they deal with him and Mary now? Damn it, I should have thoroughly searched the secret place just now. That demonic insect Endik was actually not killed by me! From the looks of it, he had borrowed the remaining magic power in Anderson's body to advance to become a Magus!
Grimm's mind was in a mess, so he stopped thinking about it and held his breath, waiting for the Tier 2 Wizard's decision.
Magi were the most precious assets of any family. They could not be easily abandoned or wasted, so killing them to avenge Anderson would definitely not happen. It was very likely that they would have to face a contract that was much harsher than normal. This was something that Grim had already predicted!
"What are you still hiding in there for? Come out and let me see what kind of person was able to devour Anderson to the point where not even his bones remained! "
Under the cold pressure of the Tier 2 Wizard, countless scorpions crazily poured out from the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and other orifices of the human skin, and once again condensed into Endik's horrifying half-insect body.
Facing a Tier 2 Wizard, even Endik, who was usually gloomy and reserved, trembled with fear. He bowed respectfully and stood to the side, waiting for the other party's decision.
Corgan's cold gaze swept over Anderson's remaining skin, then glanced at Grim and the other two. He turned around and asked, "Lord Forgan, how do you think we should deal with them?"
"Hmph, what's there to think about? After signing the contract, throw them into the Planar Battlefield. This was originally Anderson's job, but since he's not here, let the three of them take over. Those who survive will naturally enjoy the treatment of the family's Magi. If they don't, they can only blame themselves for being unlucky! "
Hearing this, although Grim and the other two's hearts sank, they invisibly let out a sigh of relief.
What was the Planar Battlefield? Why had they never heard of it? Was it really that dangerous?
A series of questions surfaced in his mind. Although Grim had used the A.I. Chip to organize and summarize most of the magic knowledge and ancient legends available to acolytes, he still knew very little about the Planar Wars. Even if there were some books that touched on the Planar Wars, they were only bits and pieces and were vague, making it hard for people to understand the details.
The reason for this situation was most likely related to the Magi's lockdown of information.
It seemed that everything related to the Planar Wars was not something normal acolytes could get involved in!
After Magus Anderson's torment, all the acolytes had died underground. This had completely paralyzed the magic swamp resource point. Among the three Magi who rushed over from the family, other than Lord Forgan who was holding the fort and Wizard Corgan who was more familiar with the area, there was also another Magus who had rushed over to take over the swamp tower in Anderson's place.
With an official Magus presiding over this place, in another three to five years, this place would once again be bustling with noise and excitement. However, Grim, Mary, and Entich could only follow Lord Forgan back to the family's encampment and wait for the Planar Wars to begin.
In the blink of an eye, the magic swamp that he had lived in for 7 years had become a memory of Grim's long life.
… …
Sarubo Family's encampment, Ferdenan City.
Grim walked through the bustling streets with a solemn expression and silently entered a small secret shop facing the street.
This was a small gnome shop that specialized in selling rare and strange alchemy items. The owner, the gnome Kaby, was currently standing on a wooden stool, spittle flying everywhere as he enthusiastically promoted the miraculous alchemy equipment he had bought from a certain unscrupulous gnome merchant to three acolytes, two females and one male.
The rocket boots that could instantly propel the user forward (But please make sure there are no rocks or ditches in front of you before activating) …
The alchemy bomb that could make terrifying noises (Sometimes … Sometimes, it would explode by itself, so …)
The magic core that could create a full energy shield (Remember, pick up the magic core and knock it on the ground to see the energy shield. If you don't see it … Please knock it a few more times!)
The goblin flying machine that could take you anywhere in the sky (Of course, it was absolutely "anywhere"!)
The parachute cloak that could allow you to safely return to the ground (This seems to be the standard of the previous item. Otherwise, it would be a problem for you to come down after you fly. Hmm, free landing is also a good choice!)
… …
… …
Grim frowned as he looked at the goblin alchemy equipment in the shop. Although his heart was filled with disdain, he did not say anything.
This kind of thing was completely useless to him at the moment, but it was a good choice for the Sorcerer-Acolytes who lacked the means to save their lives. Although there were always problems with the items sold by the goblin shop, once they were put to use, they could save their lives in times of crisis!
At least in the month since Kabi opened the shop, no acolytes had come to ask for a refund.
Of course, that was if they were still alive to ask for a refund!
Seeing Grim's arrival, Kabi immediately gave up on the three acolytes. He jumped off the stool and ran to his owner, bowing and greeting him. The three acolytes were originally unhappy, but when they turned their heads and saw the dark red wizard robe on Grim's body, they immediately bowed and slowly left the goblin shop.
They had long heard that this unremarkable goblin shop was backed by a newly advanced wizard, but this was the first time they had seen it with their own eyes. They held their breaths until they were about a hundred meters away before they dared to breathe again.
"That lord is so handsome! His physique is so strong, and he's even taller than Hans by a head … "
"Yes, yes, especially that dark red hair of his. Coupled with his young and handsome face, he's simply too handsome!"
Hearing the two female acolytes shouting in admiration, the male acolyte could not help but grumble, "You guys are too bold. That's an official Magus! Didn't you hear those old acolytes repeatedly telling you not to look at an official Magus in the eye? If the other party has some sort of taboo, he might even punish you in front of you. Also, the appearance of a Magus can't be trusted. He looks young, but he might be an old man over a hundred years old! "
One of the female acolytes curled her lips in disdain, "Hans, don't be jealous. We've already asked around about Lord Grim. He's a young Magus who's not even 20 years old, and he advanced in a place you've never even heard of. "
"Yes, yes, I've heard about him too!" Another female acolyte could not help but say, "I heard that he came to the family with two other Magi, especially that Magus Mary. She's simply … simply an idol that all of us female acolytes admire. Not only is she extremely beautiful, but she also has great battle strength. I heard that she defeated Lord Kiel, who advanced a few hundred years ago! "
"What? She defeated Lord Kiel? How is that possible … Lord Kiel is a famous body refiner in the family … "
"By the way, have you seen that Lord Demonic Worm? I heard that he looks terrifying … "
