A cave made of ice.
The silhouette of a frail woman.
Countless white specks of light lingered within, creating a dreamy world that was like a poem or a painting.
When the fluorescent light shone, the icy fog exploded, revealing a beautiful woman's face. She looked around in astonishment.
The divination result from the power of destiny was less than three seconds, but it was already extremely precious to Alice.
Alice did not dare to hesitate. She quickly took out a clear crystal ball the size of a fist and silently engraved the image in her mind into it.
Alright, she had used up all the divination slots for the day, and her spiritual force had been depleted to the last drop.
Alice covered her mouth and yawned. She did not even finish stretching her body before sprawling on the floor and falling into a deep sleep.
In her dreams, her curled up little hand loosened, and the glittering crystal ball fell to the ground, rolling far away.
It only stopped when it bumped into the feet of a tall figure.
Grimm bent down to pick up the crystal ball and placed it on his forehead.
[Beep. Unknown spiritual force channel detected. Link?]
"Link!"
The three seconds of image was so short that it disappeared in a flash. Grimm did not even get a clear look at what was happening before it ended. However, the A.I. Chip had faithfully recorded it down and stored it in its database.
"This should be the Fate Feedback from Alice's divination. A.I. Chip, do your best to analyse this three second image and find out all the information you can use! "
In the next second, the three second image was captured by the A.I. Chip and turned into thousands of static images. Then, one by one, the images appeared in his mind.
Grimm felt his spiritual force drop by 2 points, which were all converted by the A.I. Chip into a large amount of spiritual force to support its rapid and efficient operation.
With Grimm's current strength in spells, these 2 points of spiritual force meant that he had two complete rank 1 spells. If he converted it into a Molten Core, it would be enough for him to kill a regular Magus. If he converted it into a Meteor Shower, it would be enough to turn a 500-metre radius of the battlefield into a terrifying sea of fire.
Even with Grimm's strong mental fortitude, he could not help but frown when his mental power dropped by 2 points in such a short period of time.
Grimm allowed the A.I. Chip in his mind to quickly process the frozen scenes. He went to Alice's side, picked her up, and went to the bedroom next door.
He put her on the bed, took off her shoes and socks, and pulled the silk quilt over her.
After everything was settled, Grim walked out while rubbing his forehead.
Ugh, I've never felt so tired before. I'd better go to sleep first! At that time, the A.I. Chip might have already obtained a preliminary conclusion...
While yawning, Grim returned to his residence.
…
However, at this moment.
Hundreds of thousands of miles away in the extreme north.
Xue Fu could not help but open her eyes.
This was a beautiful woman who seemed to be carved out of transparent ice.
Her facial features were beautiful and exquisite, but because the lines of ice and snow were too cold, they seemed a little stiff. When she suddenly opened her eyes, a glaring cold light flashed in the depths of her pupils, and a cold aura rolled around her.
A crystal clear ice armor condensed on the surface of her body, and strands of icy air pervaded the surroundings. Even the air emitted a strange cracking sound after being frozen, and the surrounding light also became a bit dimmer because of this.
Xue Fu looked around the world of ice and snow.
There were sharp icicles and intersecting icicles everywhere. The entire cave was pure white, and no other colors could be seen. It was very quiet here, so quiet that it was almost deathly still.
There was no one else, and it was impossible for there to be anyone else.
In this world of ice and snow that had cost a lot of resources to create, the temperature had already reached a terrifying negative 145 degrees. If a normal person was placed in such an environment, their blood would freeze in the shortest time possible, and their heart would freeze as well. It would be impossible for them to survive. Even a Quasi-Magus like her, who had the innate talent of ice and snow, would need to use ice particles to protect her internal organs so that she would not freeze to death.
If there was no outsider, then where did that flash of fear come from?
Could it be … that someone was secretly spying on her?
Did it have something to do with the operation that Granny had arranged earlier?
Xue Fu did not agree with the idea of assassinating her competitors in advance. After such a long period of training and cultivation, she was very confident in her own strength. Even without the help of her family, it would not be a problem for her to wipe out those competitors.
As the family slaughtered more and more fate candidates, Xue Fu had a vague feeling that fate's blessing was getting further and further away from her.
If it was in the past, it would have been difficult to spy on her from an unfamiliar enemy. Even if there was an occasional success, fate would give her some hints through a vague sense. It would never be like today, where the fear in her heart came out of nowhere, and there was no sign of it at all.
If she continued to slaughter fate candidates like this, there would be a day when she would also be abandoned by the law of fate!
Perhaps it was time to talk to Granny Angelina …
… …
South Feldman City, Magus Tower.
Kobi the goblin was hiding in his residence, stepping on a tall wooden stool as he 'chatted' with the wretched, despicable, stingy, stingy … Duke Gazzlurvi of the Great Goblin Empire on the light screen in a 'friendly', 'passionate', and 'cordial' conversation!
"No …" Kobi jumped three feet high, waving the Beginner Puppet Making Handbook in his hand as he roared, "You should know that I risked my life to steal this top-notch secret manual from an evil Magus. You … You actually want to exchange it for 200 magic crystals? "
"Kobi, you should know that in our Great Goblin Empire, 200 magic crystals is enough to buy 10 square kilometres of land and everything on it. If you don't want to buy land, 200 magic crystals is enough for you to hire a magic squad of 50 people … So, it's already … "Before he could finish, Gazzlurvi's voice became sharp, as if … as if someone had suddenly grabbed a rooster by the throat.
Through the light screen, it could clearly see the goblin Kobi taking out a bunch of shiny … magic crystals from his waist pouch!
* Ding ding ding … *
Glittering and translucent magical crystals fell from Kabi's palm like raindrops, and they struck the hard stone floor with crisp sounds. The crisp sound was so soul-stirring that it made one's eyes red with envy. In an instant, Gazzlurvi's Rage Bar had exploded!
On the light screen, Gazzlurvi pushed up his monocle and angrily filled the entire screen with his big, ugly face.
"Damn you, Kobi, you bastard … Remember, never, ever, ever … Don't flaunt your vulgar wealth in front of the great Gazzlurvi. As the greatest inventor of the Great Goblin Empire, the most respectable engineer, and the most respected Great Lord, this brain full of endless knowledge is the true wealth a smart goblin should flaunt … "
Kobi's face was full of disdain for the exasperated Gazzlurvi.
He lightly grabbed a handful of magic crystals and moved closer to the light screen, asking maliciously, "May I ask the greatest Lord, how many magic crystals is your brain worth?"
"Not the greatest Lord, but the most respected Great Lord …" Gazzlurvi angrily corrected the little goblin's mistake, "Besides, my brain is priceless!"
"Priceless? Doesn't that mean there's no price? "
"It's priceless! It's not priceless! "Gazzlurvi's roar reverberated in the secret chamber.
"Tsk, that's the same thing!" Kobi held the magic crystals in his hand and sneered, "Since you can't take out the magic crystals, what are you going to use to exchange for my top-notch secret manual?"
Gazzlurvi quickly calmed down at the mention of the exchange.
"This is a low-magic plane, and the production of magic crystal mines is very small. You don't seem to be lacking in magic crystals …"
"Uh-huh … Continue …"
"Then I'll use … the Spider Tank to exchange with you!"
"Spider Tank?"
"Didn't you say that your master has been building a golem in the shape of a spider recently? Our Great Goblin Empire has an equally powerful completed magic tool — the Spider Tank. " Gazzlurvi immediately turned into the wildest and most passionate magic tool engineer when it came to his old profession.
"It's made entirely of tungsten alloy, and has unparalleled toughness and flexibility … The main body of the magic tool is in the shape of a spider, with four pairs of metal limbs, a 360-degree rotating magic cannon, a chainsaw folding metal pincer, a short-range fire-breathing device at the tail, and both sides of the body are equipped with …"
Before Gazzlurvi could finish, Kobi cut him off with an unfriendly expression.
"Your teleportation device can only teleport 500g of items. Are you sure you can teleport the good stuff you mentioned just now? Or do you want to open another small wormhole like last time? If you can't do it, what does it have to do with me if you praise it to the heavens? "
"Ugh …" Gazzlurvi froze, "That kind of wormhole can't be used too often! In order to obtain that golem's heart, even the Magic Furnace in my laboratory was slightly damaged, and it took me a lot of effort to repair it … "
"Magic Furnace? What's that? "Kobi's large ears immediately perked up.
Although he didn't understand what the term meant, his greedy instincts allowed him to smell the scent of gold!
"Do you know why I, Gazzlurvi, dare to call myself the greatest inventor of the Great Goblin Empire? It's because I invented the Magic Furnace that can continuously absorb energy from the Astral World. Although our Great Goblin Empire doesn't have mountains of magic crystals, with this Magic Furnace, we have an endless supply of magic energy. The future rise of the Goblin Empire was single-handedly created by me … "At the mention of the Magic Furnace, the slightly enthusiastic Gaz Ruvi instantly became fanatical. The way he was waving his slender arms and legs around made people want to gasp in awe.
"There's such a great invention?" The goblin Kabi's bean-like eyes widened, and he immediately put on a flattering expression. "Then … the greatest inventor, Lord Gaz Rhuvi, can you let me take a look at this … this epoch-making work?"
