As the night fell, the tower was gradually shrouded in darkness.
After filling their stomachs, Sabrina and Bliss each hid in a room and did not come out again.
The quiet and dark tower was dead silent. Only a dim candlelight shone through the narrow and slender stone window, illuminating the swaying shadows. In the light, there seemed to be a tall figure checking every room in the tower floor by floor.
Grimm strolled along the narrow and empty corridor with a small candlestick in his hand. The 5 candles were as thick as a thumb, giving off a dim yellow light. The light from the candlestick could not even light up the walls on both sides. It could only cover Grimm.
Grimm muttered to himself as he slowly walked along the corridor with the candlestick in his hand.
"Come out … You should come out too … You can't keep hiding like this, right?"
Finally, when Grimm reached the corner of the corridor on the second floor, the wooden door of a secret room suddenly opened in a strange manner.
Grimm smiled indifferently and slowly walked to the wooden door with the candlestick in his hand.
The wooden door was half open, and a black footprint was clearly imprinted on the floor in front of the door. From the shape and size, it was only half the size of a human's. It seemed to be left by a small humanoid creature.
Grimm lightly tapped the magic staff in his left hand, and the wooden door was completely opened. The candlelight shone in and illuminated everything in the room.
The floor was covered in dust, and there were simple and rotten tables and chairs. There were also some red wooden boxes in the corner. In the darkness, a pale figure with disheveled hair was standing there. Its scarlet eyes stared at Grimm through the gaps of its long hair. Its eyes were filled with a chilling evil aura.
Grimm was unmoved and strode into the secret room. The candlelight in the room grew brighter, and there were fewer and fewer shadows to hide in. In the end, the pale figure could only crouch in the darkness behind the wooden box, letting out a shrill cry that made one's hair stand on end.
Just as Grim was about to make another move, the wooden door behind him suddenly slammed shut. This made Grimm turn around, but when he turned his head again, the 'female ghost' had already disappeared.
"A.I. Chip, did you record the situation just now? Did you find anything? "Grim's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but ask the A.I. Chip.
[Sensing abnormal changes in a forcefield … Host body is currently within an unknown forcefield, spiritual undulations have been contaminated for unknown reasons … Please move away from the source of the forcefield as soon as possible, please move away from the source of the forcefield as soon as possible …] At the end, the A.I. Chip's robotic voice wavered.
Ever since the A.I. Chip's awakening, Grim had never doubted its judgement.
Therefore, as soon as he received the A.I. Chip's prompt, he waved his wand and a fist-sized fireball exploded the wooden door of the secret room. Then, his body suddenly turned into a ball of slowly exploding flames and disappeared on the spot.
In the abandoned garden in front of the bluestone tower, a flame suddenly appeared. After a moment, the flame disappeared and Grimm's tall figure appeared.
As soon as he got out of the range of the stone tower, a strange sound of surprise suddenly came from the darkness on the top floor of the tower.
Grimm's red eyes followed the source of the voice and found the strange guy sitting cross-legged at the top of the stone tower.
It was a beautiful fox with bright yellow fur and a white scarf around its neck.
At this moment, it was surprised to see Grimm suddenly appear in the garden. In its hand, a strange dark red rune was flashing and emitting a mysterious energy wave.
For some reason, when Grimm's spiritual force came into contact with this energy wave, the scene in front of him became blurry and chaotic. A heavy breathing sound came from behind him, and it sounded like it was very close to him.
The A.I. Chip in his mind released a slight bioelectric current, and Grimm, who was stimulated, immediately broke free from the uncontrollable illusion.
A spiritual spell?
Grimm, who immediately understood everything, did not dare to hesitate anymore. He slammed his wand on the ground, and from the dark red crystal at the tip of the wand, a thick ray of sunlight shot towards the strange fox at the top of the tower.
"There's something strange about you. You can actually resist the illusion that I've prepared for so long. Hehe, consider yourself lucky today, we'll meet again in the future … "The fox standing at the top of the tower swung its tail, causing Grimm's spell to deviate in a strange way. The spell brushed past its body and flew into the sky.
After doing all this, the fox did not stay any longer. It crushed the dark red rune in its hand, and with a leap, it disappeared into the dark night.
Grimm did not try to chase after it.
Strange Magi like this always liked to set up ambushes and lure their enemies into their traps. Chasing after them was definitely not a good thing. He closed his eyes and sensed for a moment. The A.I. Chip still detected a strange force field in the tower. It seemed that the force field did not disappear with the departure of the mysterious enemy.
This caused Grim to be slightly taken aback. Then, he came to a realization.
Then, he seemed to remember something. He took out three Iain Stones and threw them above his head. Only then did he force his way into the Limestone Tower.
After a few moments, the flames exploded, and Grimm rushed out of the tower once again. He grabbed Sabrina and Blitz, who had fallen into a deep illusion, one in each hand.
The two were obviously asleep, but their breathing was getting more and more urgent, and their bodies were trembling slightly.
Grimm squatted beside them and softly called out a few times, but the two did not hear him.
He gently opened their eyelids. Bliss's eyes had already started to roll back, and his mind was on the verge of collapsing. Although Sabrina was slightly better than him, she would not be able to hold on for much longer.
Grimm furrowed his brows.
Although he had pulled the two out of the force field, their spiritual undulations had already been seriously polluted. It would be extremely difficult for them to break free from the mysterious force field.
Grimm did not dare to hesitate any longer. He placed the two next to each other, and inserted the 'Destructive Flames' staff between them. Grimm's hands quickly moved in the air, drawing one strange flame rune after another. The staff also began to tremble slightly, and specks of red light flowed out of the dark red crystal.
Under Grimm's guidance, the red light landed on the two acolytes.
As soon as the red light touched their bodies, the two could not help but tremble violently. Bliss, who had a weaker endurance, could not help but roll on the ground.
"It hurts … It hurts … What is this … It hurts so much …"
Bliss screamed as he crawled up from the ground. As if he had just woken up from a dream, he could not help but slap at the burning flames on his body. But when he opened his eyes, he strangely found that his body was still intact. It was not burnt to a crisp like in his dream.
Just as he was looking around in confusion, Sabrina, whose body was trembling like a sieve, suddenly sat up. Her mechanical eyes emitted a dark red glow of lingering fear.
When her gaze fell on Grimm, she immediately got up.
"Sir, did you save me?" Sabrina could not help but ask.
"Save?" Bliss clearly did not understand the situation, "Was there an enemy just now?"
"Yes, it was a strange wizard that looked like a fox. He seemed to be good at spiritual spells. Even I almost fell into his trap … "Speaking of this, Grimm's black eyes flashed with anger.
"Isn't there a defensive spell formation in the tower?" Sabrina asked in bewilderment, "We have the protection of the spell formation. How could we be ambushed without knowing why?"
Grimm let out a cold laugh.
"Because the spell formation in the tower was the one that ambushed us?"
"Ah …"
"Ah!"
Both Sabrina and Bliss had a look of shock on their faces.
"If I'm not wrong, that guy should have known that we would come here." Grimm squinted his eyes and explained, "That's why he did something to the spell formation in the stone tower before we arrived."
"How did he get the authority to control the stone tower?"
"He did not need the authority to control the stone tower. Since most of the defensive spell formations in the stone tower had been shut down due to the lack of energy, he took the opportunity to add something to the spell formation. That way, when we arrived and activated the core of the Wizard's Pagoda, we would have attracted the enemy. And … "At this point, Grimm could not help but narrow his eyes.
"And what?" Bliss could not help but ask.
"And this enemy is very cunning. He spent a lot of effort to plot against me. He even secretly carved a Wizard Spell on the third floor, then lured me to read it. That way, he would have my Soul Waymark and be able to target my mind. The two of you were not the ones he wanted to deal with. You were just coincidentally in the Wizard's Pagoda and were affected by the aftermath of the Mind Wizard Spell. "
"Then … Sir, how did you save us? Could it be that you've mastered some Mental Wizardry? "This was what Sabrina and Bliss were most concerned about.
"Hmph, I'm a Fire Wizard. Why would I know about those mysterious Mind Wizard Spells?" Grimm let out a cold laugh, "Think back to how you escaped the illusion, and you'll know what I did!"
Hearing this, Bliss scratched his head, his eyes dreary as he reminisced.
"I remember when I was adventuring in the Black Forest, I suddenly encountered a group of terrifying Zombies. There were too many of them, and I couldn't kill all of them. In the end, my Wizard Power was exhausted, and I was dragged into their tomb … "At this point, Bliss's face revealed a horrified expression," Just as I felt like I was about to be torn to shreds, a ball of fire descended from the sky and set me on fire. The fire burned my body, and it was so painful, so painful … It was so painful that I shuddered and woke up from the dream! "
Listening to Bliss's story, and comparing it to her own experience, Sabrina vaguely understood Wizard Grimm's methods.
The flames of Lord Fire Demon had the strange property of burning souls. It was undoubtedly the best way to wake the two of them from their slumber.
