Three days later.
The rendezvous point was in front of the Rose of the Dark Night.
When Grim and Alice arrived, there were already a lot of people gathered in front of the door. There were also a few dozen carts parked around. A team of fully armed guards was scattered around the carts. Judging from the race composition, they were mostly powerful warriors of different races.
Although Grimm had the intention to investigate the secrets of these humanoid races, his attention was mostly attracted by a few figures wrapped in thick robes.
In fact, in order to avoid trouble, Grim and Alice were also wearing thick traveling cloaks with their hoods pulled up. Not a single inch of their skin was exposed. However, Alice's child-like body was not something that could be covered by a cloak.
Apart from the two of them, there were also four 'passengers' who wanted to hitch a ride.
The four of them were divided into three groups. Two of the women were traveling alone, while the other man and woman were in a group like Grim and Alice.
Judging from the spirit waves that leaked out, one of the women was a witch and the other an apprentice, while the other man and woman were wizards.
"So, did you sense anything?" Grim looked at the other 'travelers' through the shadow of his hood and communicated with Alice using his spirit power.
"Unfortunately, all three of them are!" Alice couldn't help but roll her eyes.
There were at least seven or eight months before the tower of destiny opened. What were these guys doing here so early? She actually encountered so many competitors just by riding a caravan, which made her feel rather speechless!
As candidates for the Witches of Destiny, they would more or less have a trace of the aura of Destiny's favor. Outsiders might not be able to sense it, but when they met each other, they could easily figure out who they were.
There were four candidates in one caravan, three wizards and one apprentice.
Involuntarily, a few of the Sorcerer rank candidates secretly looked at the female Acolyte, and their gazes could not help but contain a trace of disdain and contempt.
As a candidate for the Witch of Destiny, she must have awakened some kind of powerful talent. Even under these circumstances, she still couldn't become a wizard. Such a fellow was destined to be eliminated. He probably wouldn't even have the chance to participate in the battle for destiny.
Everyone present understood that the Law of Destiny had never been a generous person.
Since it had distributed such generous conditions to all parts of the Sorcerer Continent, then there would be a day when it would be taken back. Just like raising a poisonous insect, he would give every Awakened who met the requirements a shot in the arm, allowing them to grow quickly and healthily.
When the time was right, he would open the Tower of Fate and gather them inside.
Then, with fate as the furnace and them as the fuel, he would reignite the legacy of the Destiny Witches.
In this way, when new Destiny Witches were born, they could use their flesh and souls as nourishment to quickly overcome the period of weakness and become independent witch leaders.
Therefore, the few of them were destined to fight to the death. It was impossible for them to coexist peacefully and become friends!
While Grim and Alice were silently scrutinizing the others, they were also secretly peeking at them.
He was a powerful Fire Elemental Sorcerer. This could be seen from the surging and agitated fire particles around his body. As for the other?
The eyes of the two Witch Candidates showed a doubtful expression.
First of all, she must have advanced to become a Sorcerer.
This could be confirmed by the energy overflowing from her body.
However, why were her mental fluctuations so strange?
One moment she was acting like a Sorcerer, and the next moment she was acting like a normal person. Her mental fluctuations fluctuated endlessly, making it hard to understand!
Quietly, the two Witches began to secretly hold the crystal ball in their sleeves, as if they wanted to spy on Alice.
In the next second, a slight rune explosion came from their bodies, and thick black smoke came out of their sleeves.
"Two idiots …" Alice sneered disdainfully, one hand grabbing Grim's sleeve, the other gently playing with a silver badge.
Just now, she had relied on this silver badge to stop those two of her kind from spying on her.
The abnormality of the two Witches naturally attracted the attention of the people around them.
However, after glancing at the few fellows who were staring at them, the guards responsible for guarding the caravan shrugged and moved a few steps away. Obviously, they did not want to get involved in the fight between the Witches.
From beginning to end, the fight between Alice and the other two Witches did not involve the female apprentice. She had been regarded as a harmless creature and was directly ignored.
The female apprentice bit her lower lip, feeling the increasingly tense atmosphere in front of her and behind her, and her body began to tremble slightly.
Although she knew that she had no chance of winning, the desire to live made her grit her teeth and embark on the journey. As long as she participated, there would be hope. With this simple thought in mind, she did not choose to withdraw even though she was extremely afraid.
The turbulence between the Witches had obviously affected the whole team, and some of the ordinary people in the team could not help but show a look of fear on their faces.
However, at this moment, a fierce and terrifying mental fluctuation suddenly covered the whole area, forcibly suppressing all the restlessness and uneasiness.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they could not help but look at a group of women who had just walked out of the caravan.
All of them were women in black robes, and there were 11 of them. Some were young, some were old, some were beautiful, and some were ugly …
The woman in the lead even had a dazzling glow on her body. Grimm and the others could not help but look away to relieve the stinging pain in their eyes. However, the strange thing was that the ordinary people in the caravan did not seem to feel anything, and they were not affected at all.
"Since you have chosen us, the Dark Night Rose, you better follow the rules. We will be responsible for escorting you safely to your destination." The woman stopped and said coldly, "If anyone tries to play any tricks on the way, hmph …"
Grimm and the others' heart skipped a beat, and they all bowed to show respect.
This was the courtesy that low-grade Witches had to show to high-grade Witches. Otherwise, high-grade Witches had the right to punish those who were rude.
After a slight punishment, the Grade 2 Witch silently boarded a luxuriously decorated carriage, while the rest of the black-robed women boarded different carriages one after another.
One Grade 2, three Grade 1, seven apprentice witches …
Although Grimm's vision was affected, with the help of the A.I. Chip, he quickly figured out the number of Witches in the caravan. With such numbers and strength, they could be compared to some of the smaller clans in the scattered Pagoda Forest region.
However, here, they were only the basic equipment of a caravan escort!
Since each of them had paid 200 magic crystals, the caravan had provided each Wizard with an exquisite carriage. However, for safety's sake, Alice and Grimm still rode in the same carriage. Before boarding the carriage, Grim noticed that the male and female Magus had boarded the same carriage.
As soon as they sat in the carriage, Alice impatiently whispered, "Are we going to do anything on the way?"
Grimm snapped, "Do you dare to make a move? There's a Grade 2 Dark Witch in the caravan. Besides, if you make the first move, you'll definitely attract the backlash of fate! "
Alice took out a large apple from somewhere and munched on it, "As long as we want to make a move, there's always a way. Besides, I can see that they're all ready to make a move. Won't it be easy to lure them in? "
"It's best not to make a move if we can." Grimm muttered to himself, "I feel that if they become stronger, it'll be more beneficial to you!"
Alice tilted her head as she pondered, munching on the apple in her hand even more cheerfully.
At the same time, in the carriage of the two Magi, a hidden conversation was also going on.
"Brother, are we going to make a move on the way?" The female Magus pulled down her hood, revealing long blonde hair and a beautiful face.
"We'll see!" The other Magus also pulled down his hood, revealing a pair of dark eyes that had no white in them, giving him a strange and demonic look, "The two traveling together are a bit tricky. The little fellow who looks like a child doesn't seem to have much combat power, but her companion is not easy to deal with. As for the one who's alone, we can consider him as a target! "
The female Magus lowered her head and thought for a moment, then looked up and said, "Don't be in a hurry to make a move. Find a chance to test them on the way. You go test the female Magus, I'll go talk to the male Magus … "
The male Magus sighed silently and finally nodded in agreement.
Just as everyone was thinking about it, the long caravan of horses and carriages finally started moving.
Of course, the group of mercenaries was the first to clear the way, while the guards of the Dark Night Rose Chamber of Commerce followed closely on both sides of the caravan. As for the dozens of carriages with Magi and apprentices, they were mixed in with the caravan, moving slowly.
… …
The caravan's carriages formed a long line, slowly and orderly passing through the city gate.
As the caravan moved along the dirt road into the dark forest in the distance, two women were standing in a bunker above the city gate, silently watching the caravan.
"Have you counted them?" One of the women asked coldly.
"Yes, my Lord." The other woman bowed and said, "There are a total of six outsiders, and four of them are female."
"Have you used the array to check?"
"I've already tested them. All four of them reacted to the array glyphs. Two of them are Magi, and one is an apprentice … "
"What about the other one?"
"The array's reaction is a bit strange, as if there's some special Magus on her that's interfering with our detection!"
"Hmph, that's normal. Who cares if she can interfere, as long as there's a reaction. Remember to inform the sisters on the other side and report their situation. The earlier we find out, the higher Miss Xuefu's chance of winning will be. "
"Yes, I understand. I'll contact them now. "
After the subordinate left, the remaining woman looked at the caravan from afar and could not help but snort coldly, "Hmph, another group of people coming to die! Do you really think you have a chance in the battle of destiny? A bunch of idiots … "
