"What … Lord Armes, do you recognise this Ice Dragon?"
Grimm asked curiously as he led Armes around the metallic city.
Armes hesitated for a moment before nodding with difficulty.
"By the way, Lord Armes. How did you know we were here?"
Armes' human form was that of a tall man in exquisite blue armour. He had a handsome face and a tall posture, and every movement he made had an indescribable aura about him.
Hearing Grimm's question, Armes rolled his eyes, showing an expression that said, 'You still dare to ask me?'
"Hmph, that's a good question. Since I've already given Zachary to you, you should know the location of my territory, right? "
"Travel 70,000 kilometres north-east from the Stoneclaw Mountains. After passing through the territories of the twelve dragon lords, you should be able to reach Lord Armes' Thunder Cliff," Grimm answered without hesitation, as if he had done some research on this.
Armes' expression froze.
"I thought that erasing the waymark in Zachary's mind would be enough to stop you. Unfortunately, a month ago, I suddenly sensed that a waymark I'd set had been touched, and I knew that something was wrong. In the end, you still managed to obtain the coordinates of Lance from the goblins … "
At this point, Armes' face was full of vexation.
The invasion of the goblins was the first time he'd organised an independent operation after becoming a rank 3 dragon lord, and yet he'd already made such a huge mistake. He couldn't help but feel vexed.
Strictly speaking, it was the grave mistake it had made that led to the invasion of Lance by this group of wizards. If he hadn't acted so recklessly, Lance and the young dragons wouldn't have met with such misfortune. They would still be able to leisurely enjoy the life of a lord.
Hearing Armes' explanation, Grimm relaxed a little.
The waymark they'd used had been set by Armes himself, so it was completely normal for him to have done something to it. Truth be told, Grimm was glad that this was the case.
If Armes had found out about Grimm and the others through other means, wouldn't that mean that the Magi's movements had already been exposed to the high-ranked dragons? Since Armes had found him through the waymark, this meant that the Crimson Family's invasion hadn't been discovered by the high-ranked dragons yet.
This was actually very easy to understand!
The Dragon Clan had always been a race with a long lifespan. Their attitude towards time was completely different from that of humans.
It had only been a month since the Crimson Family invaded the Lance Plane. This amount of time wasn't even enough for most dragon lords to take a nap. The news of the metal castle's existence only spread slowly among the few dragon territories near the Stoneclaw Mountains and the Swamp of Sorrows. As for the Dragon Territory, which was slightly further away, they knew nothing about their existence, nor were they interested in knowing.
Just like this time, he had traversed a distance of 700 kilometers to ambush the Ice Dragon Alentini. The other party did not seem to be prepared at all. At the very least, they were defenseless against outsiders like them. That was why Grimm and the others were able to capture him alive in a mere 15 minutes, even though he was caught off guard by Grimm and the others.
If that Ice Dragon knew the inside story, it wouldn't have been defeated so easily and miserably.
But now, she had been reduced from a high and mighty Giant Dragon Lord to a person standing on a platform, with all kinds of Magi pointing fingers at her and appraising her according to weight!
After all, Grimm and Armes had signed an agreement to help each other in battle. In fact, they could even be considered allies. However, now that the flames of war had spread to Armes' homeland, the relationship between them had become extremely awkward.
"Lord Armes, since we're already here, we won't leave so easily. In order to reconcile our relationship, I feel that I need to understand your attitude … "Grimm asked bluntly," How do you plan to deal with the matter of us entering the Lance Plane? "
Grimm's question was very direct. He was basically forcing Armes to express his stance on whether he was a friend or foe.
After all, this Thunder Dragon knew the true identity of Grimm and the others, as well as the strength of his family. If he chose to become an enemy of the Crimson Family, Grimm and the others would have to pay a huge price to take him down.
Grimm wasn't that stupid.
After all, he had only brought Armes to the top of the metal fortress. The core of the fortress was actually hidden hundreds of metres below the surface of the mine. As for the Tier 3 brain monster, Gaz 'ruvi, with the support of the Enhanced Magic Furnace, as well as the fact that this was its territory, it wouldn't be any weaker than the Thunder Dragon, Armes, even in its territory.
Furthermore, Grimm still had Olivia the Dragon Eater in his hands. If he were to throw her out at a critical moment, he would be able to intimidate the arrogant Thunder Dragon Overlord, even if he couldn't catch her easily.
Hence, even though Grimm was only a Tier 2 Wizard, he could still calmly face off against Armes, a Tier 3 Dragon Lord, despite having a trump card in his hand.
Vexed … Extremely vexed …
If Armes could use half of his wealth to get the Magi out of Lance, he would definitely agree to it without hesitation. It was a pity that after tasting the sweetness in Lance, it was almost impossible to 'dissuade' them with such minuscule benefits.
After thinking about it for a while, Armes didn't know what to do.
If it was Armes in the past, he would've used force if he couldn't persuade Armes. However, after the battle in the goblins' plane, he had experienced the viciousness, viciousness, and cunning of the Magi in front of him. If he were to resort to force … Armes looked around the thick and solid 'guest hall' that was comparable to a metal cage, and sensed the powerful spiritual force that lingered around him.
Finally, Armes gave up on using force to solve this problem.
Since he couldn't drive the Magi out of Lance, he could only settle for the next best thing, which was to ensure that the interests of the Thunder Dragon Clan wouldn't be affected.
Thus, in the following period of time, the two of them had an open discussion.
Half a day later, after obtaining a satisfactory result, Lightning Dragon Armes stealthily left the metal fortress.
… …
Magus World, Tower of Destiny.
As the dazzling starlight on the astrological platform began to dissipate, Alice's tall and graceful figure slowly appeared.
When she walked out of the spell formation with a solemn expression, the little elf Helen, who had been quietly guarding by her side, flew over while scattering fireflies all the way.
"How was it? How was it? Is there any result this time? "Little Helen floated to Alice's shoulder and whispered into her ear.
"So what if I did? So what if I didn't? "Alice said with a disappointed expression.
"There has to be a result!" Little Helen said anxiously as she flew in front of Alice. "You've already exhausted so much of your life force. If there's no result, you …"
Little Helen suddenly stopped talking.
From her angle, she could clearly see that the silky silver hair of her master, who was less than a hundred years old, had turned snow-white. Alice's face was pale, and her body was weak. It was as if a gust of wind could easily blow her away.
Alice thought for a moment and shook her head with a bitter smile. "I'm sorry, but it seems like there's no result this time."
Little Helen flew up to Alice, with her hands on her hips, and her cheeks puffed out as she glared at her.
"Do you think we magic fairies are fools that can be fooled? I can clearly see that after your divination, the spell formation has resonated with the power of the stars, and some obvious abnormalities have appeared. This is a typical sign of a successful divination. How long do you plan to hide it from me? "
Alice stood up and sighed. "So what if it's successful? So what if it's not successful? Fate showed you an impossible path, doesn't that mean there's no path at all? "
"What exactly did fate tell you? Weren't you asking about the direction to advance to grade 2? Why would fate show you a dead end? "Little Helen asked curiously.
Alice looked at the starlight on the Astrological Platform that had yet to completely dissipate. She said calmly, "I've divined three times in a row. Fate has told me that my only chance to advance to the Second Order will be in the Planar Expedition in three months. That's an extremely powerful medium-sized plane. Do you think our Tower of Destiny can participate in a planar expedition of that level with our strength? "
Little Helen was stunned when she heard this.
She didn't expect that Alice's opportunity to advance would fall on a foreign plane, and a plane with a powerful indigenous civilization at that.
Such a plane had terrifying foreign gods at every turn, and it was impossible for people to enter and leave as they pleased like those small planes. Devouring such a foreign plane would naturally allow any wizard's power to expand rapidly.
But in contrast, the difficulty of invading would instantly increase by tens of times, or even hundreds of times!
It could be said that if the invading wizard's power was slightly weaker, it was very likely that they would be completely annihilated in these terrifying foreign planes. At that time, not to mention the benefits of the plane, even their lives would be difficult to preserve.
Previously, Alice had contributed the world waymark of a large plane to the northern witch leaders' meeting. According to tradition, if other northern witch factions wanted to participate, they would also have to contribute the high-quality planes in their hands.
So after hesitating again and again, the leaders of the various witch factions could only announce the medium-sized planes in their hands one after another. Although they couldn't be as powerful as the large plane Alice had contributed, they also had countless animals, plants, monsters, and all kinds of resources.
And Alice's three consecutive divinations pointed to a medium-sized plane shared by the Pale Witches — the Faen Plane.
According to the rules, the Pale Witches would open a portal to the Faen Plane in three months.
At that time, all northern witch factions could send troops to participate in the plundering of the Faen Plane, and all the gains would belong to their own faction.
It sounded very beautiful and a very fair operation, but for the Fate Witches who had few troops, such an opportunity was equivalent to not having it.
With the current strength of the Fate Witches, entering a medium-sized plane to plunder was simply asking for death.
