The dense light from the teleportation slowly dissipated in the teleportation room.
Six hazy figures gradually materialized, appearing in front of Grimm bit by bit.
"Welcome, Lord … Endor!"
It was obvious that Grimm was hesitant about how to address Mary. Therefore, when he straightened his body, he met Mary's teasing red eyes.
Six people had arrived at the Blazing Flame Monarch through the teleportation formation. Poison Centipede Endor, Bloodsucking Mary, her three Blood Knights, and that old fox Wenlier. Though they seemed normal on the surface, Grimm could tell from countless minute details that Mary and Endor had severe injuries on their bodies.
This was especially so for Poison Centipede Endor. After being imprisoned for a long time in a dark illusion, her body had been seriously contaminated by shadow matter. It seemed that without a period of recuperation and treatment, it would be difficult for her to return to her peak strength.
"Kid, looks like this old hag will have to stay here for a while …" Although Endor's origin was injured, he was in an unprecedentedly good mood. He could not help but smile at Grim, and a trace of benevolence appeared on his ugly and gloomy face.
"Welcome, welcome, you're warmly welcomed … Treat this place as your own home! I've already arranged everything … "It was just a few short sentences, but Grimm's forehead was covered in sweat.
Sorcerers were fickle and selfish to begin with. They prioritized their own interests over everything else. Now that a 'relative', Endor, had suddenly appeared, even Grimm, who had always been calm, found it difficult to keep his composure.
"Alright, then I'll go and rest!" It was obvious that Poison Centipede Endor had used up quite a bit of her spirit in order to survive this long-distance teleportation. Now that she was in a safe place, her spirit could not take it anymore.
"Gargamel, bring Lord Endor to her residence!"
Gargamel, who had been waiting at the side, immediately led the Poison Woman away with a fawning smile.
When only Mary and her subordinates were left, Grimm regained his composure. Seeing Mary in blood-red armour, he could not help but reveal a sincere smile.
"Why? Don't you want to know how Alice is doing now?" Mary's tight blood-red leather armor showed off her beautiful figure. She raised her eyebrows, and a playful smile appeared on her delicate face again. "Don't worry. Before we leave, that Alice will still be in good condition. She seems to have reached an agreement with those witches, so as long as the dark witches don't have any direct evidence, they won't be able to touch her … "
"I'm not worried about her, I'm worried about you …" Grim smiled as he took a step forward. "It's not that easy to break through the Dark Illusion. I can see that your internal injuries are not light either. How about … I help you take a look … "
Mary's body stiffened. She rolled her eyes at Grim and waved her hand without looking back.
"Lord Grim and I still have some matters to attend to. You guys can take a stroll around the tower. Remember, don't cause trouble for me! "
"Yes!"
The three Blood Knights bowed at the same time. Soros and Venlier quickly glanced at Grim, then walked out of the teleportation room without saying a word.
"Let's go. Didn't you say that you're going to protect my body?" Mary smiled charmingly. "Let me take a look at you. Why did your mind suddenly become so weak?"
… …
Six hours later.
After an intense 'brawl', the satisfied couple finally stopped. Their bodies intertwined, and they hugged each other as they lay on the bed, beginning their real conversation.
In fact, Mary only knew a little about Alice's plan.
She only knew that Alice had to go to the Witch Council to lure away the leader of the Dark Witches, Circe. She then used her status as the leader of the Dark Witches to call for a meeting. This method was obviously very effective, and she really managed to lure Circe away from the Dark Illusion Realm.
Taking advantage of the absence of Circe, the master of the Wizard's Pagoda, and the time when the Dark Shadow Tide was about to attack, Mary broke into the Wizard's Pagoda, killed her way into the cells at the bottom, and successfully took away the Poison Centipede, Endor.
The whole process was described by Mary herself. Even though he knew that she had succeeded, Grim was still shaken to his core. He could sense something else from the simple description.
Foresight!
Foresight!
First of all, before the Dark Illusion Realm faced the Dark Shadow Tide, the Dark Witches would clean up the Shadow Valley a dozen days in advance, then temporarily cut off the connection between the Origin Wizard's Pagoda and the Sorcerers World. This also prevented the possibility of an enemy infiltrating the Origin Wizard's Pagoda from the Sorcerers World, and allowed them to focus on dealing with the Shadow World's challenges.
Alice had obviously predicted this situation, so she ordered Mary to infiltrate the Shadow Valley a month in advance, and successfully evade the search of the Dark Witches.
So when the level 4 Wizard Circe was not around, and the main forces of the Dark Witches were deployed to the Shadow World, Mary, who was hiding in the Shadow Valley, immediately killed her way through the weakest link of the Origin Wizard's Pagoda, and managed to break into the underground cells.
Under normal circumstances, rushing into the cell was already the limit of Mary's power. It was simply impossible for her to take someone away from there. After all, the connection between the Sorcerers World and the Shadow Valley had been temporarily cut off, and any ordinary teleportation spell would not be able to escape.
But it was still no match for Alice's magical methods.
Alice had given Mary a round silver stone before they set off. When Mary found Endor, she did not have to force her way out. She only had to take out the silver stone and chant the necessary activation incantation, then the silver stone would successfully bring them back to the Tower of Destiny.
Of course, Mary didn't know what the mysterious silver stone was, but Grim couldn't help but smile when he heard it.
Throughout the entire rescue process, Alice had completely displayed the powerful ability of foresight. Every move of the enemy, and even every arrangement, had been completely grasped by her. She could also make full use of all the resources and opportunities around her, paving a path to victory for herself.
The power of the talent of destiny could be seen in this!
Of course, the strength of the favored of destiny was never their own strength, but their deep understanding of the laws of the world, as well as the extreme use of the resources at hand.
Without an obedient Mary, no matter how good Alice's plan was, it would be difficult for it to completely go according to her expectations.
It was like two boxers engaged in a life and death fight, and one of the boxers had the ability to foresee the landing point and posture of the next three punches of the other boxer. So when the boxer threw the first punch, he dodged and counterattacked at the right time.
Then, at this moment, there was a small turning point in destiny.
When the foresight of destiny changed the result of the first punch, would the opponent still stubbornly throw the second and third punch according to the predetermined trajectory of destiny?
No, at this moment, under the influence of the ripples of destiny, it was no longer destiny that controlled the development of the world, but the established laws hidden behind the world. Only when the ripples of destiny dissipated would this small world once again enter the orbit of destiny, surging forward majestically.
It was out of reverence for the power of destiny that Grim cared so much about Alice's identity as a Witch of Destiny. And now, Alice had indeed displayed her aptitude and ability as a Witch of Destiny.
More importantly, their relationship was very harmonious!
This could be seen from Alice's plan.
Poison Woman Endor could be considered Alice's only relative in this world. For her, Alice was even willing to face one or more Grade 4 Witches head-on. Now that she had sent Poison Woman to the Blazing Flame Monarch and into Grim's hands, it was obvious that she did not care that Grim would use this to threaten her.
This was what Grim was most gratified about!
Although Grimm had understood most of Alice's plan, he still couldn't figure out how she had subdued Mary. Grim simply knew Mary too well.
In order to fight for the position of the leader of the faction, she had even fought with him.
Moreover, Grim believed that even if Mary really obtained the title of the victor, she would only push everything to Grim and use the title of the leader of the faction to satisfy her deep-rooted mentality of being a powerhouse.
Therefore, to Mary, ordinary preaching and enticement of benefits were ineffective.
The only way to win her respect was to fight.
Only by displaying the strength of a powerhouse would she be able to smoothly find her own position in their relationship. Otherwise, Mary would forever hover between obedience and disobedience, constantly worrying.
Hence …
Grim was very curious about how Alice had subdued Mary!
After a round of coaxing and pestering, Grim finally found out about the behind-the-scenes deal between the two women.
Bloodline Shackles!
After hearing Alice's method, Grim slapped his thigh hatefully.
Damn it, why didn't I think of this!
However, he also knew that even if he had thought of this method, so what? With Alice's methods, would he be able to successfully find that 'vampire'?
As the saying went, 'if you have the strength, you can't use your brain'!
He did not have such a method, so he could only rely on brute force to defeat Mary. On the other hand, Alice could easily subdue her with just a few words.
Perhaps this was how the Witches of Destiny did things!
However, Grim did not know that while he was fooling around with Mary, in the distant Tower of Destiny, Alice was silently weeping as she faced the sky full of stars.
When the beautiful starlight shone down, it illuminated her exquisite and beautiful face, as well as her silky long hair that was half silver and half white.
Unknowingly, half of her hair had already turned white …
