When Grim brought Mary into the metal hall, Ulthar was sitting alone, carefully playing with a strange stone pegasus statue the size of a palm.
This was probably the basic form of the Pegasus Magic Spring after it was sealed!
Even though it was completely sealed, Grimm could still sense the majestic aura of mana coming from the statue through the sparkling light it emitted.
The Pegasus Magic Spring could transform ordinary wild horses into flying magic beasts, so there had to be something special about it that was worth studying. If he brought it back and studied it thoroughly, it would definitely be of indescribable benefit to the Dark Witches when they tamed flying magic beasts.
Hence, after successfully obtaining the stone statue, Ulthar's mood became unprecedentedly good!
"Speak …" A rare smile appeared on Ulthar's cold face, "What do you want me to do for you? I'll say this first, I won't participate in anything too dangerous. If worse comes to worst, I'll use resources to compensate you for your efforts … "
Hearing this, Grimm smiled slightly.
"Lord Ulthar, you don't have to worry at all. What we want you to do will definitely not be beyond your capabilities!"
"That's not necessarily true!"
Ulthar could not help but snort, "Now that the entire Calan Continent is in chaos because of you, those old fellows hiding behind the scenes are coming out one after another. At this time, if you stir up trouble in the heart of the Elven Kingdom, the chances of encountering a Grade 4 powerhouse are too high … "
The two missions for this trip had been completed one after another, so Ulthar wasn't too enthusiastic about some new adventures. After all, the Calan Continent was now filled with Elven Oracles and battle-class powerhouses. If he encountered a Grade 4 powerhouse with special methods, even with Ulthar's strength, he might not be able to escape.
To be honest, while the Dark Witches were not afraid of powerful Elven battle-class powerhouses, they were very afraid of high-grade Elven Oracles. If they encountered powerful Elven battle-class powerhouses, even if they died in battle, the Dark Witches could still use the power pool to revive on the Dark Island. That was why they had nothing to fear, and that was why they seemed to be so rude and unbridled.
However, if they died at the hands of high-grade Elven Oracles, the Dark Witches would only have a 45% chance of reviving. This also led to the appearance of the Elven Oracles, and the dark witches would often fight with restraint, no longer having their usual arrogance.
Now that the heart of the Calan Continent was being turned upside down by a group of undead, the elven gods couldn't stay behind the scenes. They all began to send oracles or avatars to help the elven army.
In this case, if the witches showed themselves in the central part of the continent, they would be attacked by the highest level of combat power!
What's more, they had just poked a giant hornet's nest and destroyed the Pegasus Magic Spring of the Elven Kingdom. For the Forest Elves, who had very few aerial mounts, it was like cutting off one of their legs.
It would be strange if the elves didn't explode!
Therefore, compared to before, Ulthar could not help but shrink back a little.
However, Ulthar was still a little curious about the true goal of Grim and the others.
What was it that Alice was willing to sacrifice half of the lives of the Witches of Destiny to get it?
"Our target this time is a Grade 2 Green Dragon. There's a demigod item in its lair that we desperately need …" Grim said slowly, enunciating each word.
"Demi-Artifact?" Ulthar's eyes suddenly lit up.
In the Sorcerer World, only Sorcerers who were rank 4 and above could grasp the laws of the plane. Most of the high-grade magic tools that they created also contained powerful laws. However, not only did it consume a lot of resources, but it also consumed the laws of the wizards themselves.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, high-grade wizards would not make overly powerful artifacts for outsiders.
Ulthar had been a grade 3 Dark Witch for a long time, but she only had a grade 3 auxiliary artifact, the Dark Pearl. It allowed her to maintain a trace of connection with the shadow plane no matter what plane she was in.
Because powerful artifacts were hard to find and hard to make, most wizards could only continue to use ordinary artifacts that were a grade lower than theirs. Once a Wizard obtained a powerful Wizard Tool that was compatible with his own origin, he would immediately become one of the top Wizards of the same rank and become the target of envy for all Wizards.
However, in the Faern Plane, because of the existence of the gods, those who had divine force and divine authority could easily create strange artifacts with divinity. These strange items all possessed great power that did not match their own grade.
Some wizards who had come into contact with divine artifacts found out that the divinity in the eyes of the gods was actually the laws of the plane passed down by the Magi. It was not as difficult for the gods to create divine artifacts and demi-artifacts as compared to high-grade Magi.
That was why in the World of Gods, even mortals had weapons, armour, accessories, and other semi-divine weapons that had the power of strange laws. Magi were used to calling them divine items.
It was a pity that there were no Dark Gods in the Faern Plane. Otherwise, the Dark Witches would definitely group up and kill the followers of the Dark Gods in order to obtain these divine artifacts.
"Prophecy!" Grimm reminded with a smile, just in case Ulthar suddenly coveted it.
"Of course it's prophecy. Otherwise, why would Alice be willing to risk her life …" Ulthar said disdainfully, and then glanced at Grimm, "What price did Alice pay for you to work so hard for her? With your talent and strength, if you're willing to join us, I can guarantee you a higher position than you have now. Of course, if you like women, I have a good collection … "
Mary, who had been listening at the side, could not help but giggle when she heard this.
"Since you're talking about this, I'll take my leave. It'll save you a lot of trouble later … "
With that, Mary left with a light smile.
Seeing Mary's sexy and alluring figure, Ulthar could not help but lick his lips.
"Your companion is good stuff, but her identity is a little awkward!" Ulthar stared at Mary's swaying back and forth for a while before turning to Grim. "I'm warning you, tell your female companion to restrain herself. No one will care what she does in this world, but if she wants to 'infect' other Magi in the Magus World, be careful not to get caught by the Witch Punishment Union. Once the union sets their sights on her, even a rank 4 Magus won't be able to protect her! "
"Witch Punishment Union?"
"Don't be fooled by the fact that you're already a rank 2 Magus, and you're considered a big shot in the central continent. However, as long as you don't become a member of the three great Magus organisations, you won't be able to come into contact with the true upper echelons of the Magus World.
"The three great Magus organisations are located at the borders of the Magus Continent, and there are no borders between them. Hence, the Scattered Tower Forest in the middle is the best buffer zone.
"The reason why the Scattered Tower Forest is able to remain outside of the three great Magus organisations and occupy the largest and most resource-rich land in the central continent isn't because of their own strength, but because of a tacit agreement between the three organisations.
"Close to ten thousand years have passed, and the central continent is so rich in resources, talents, and resources, yet there hasn't been a single Magus clan that can rival the three great Magus organisations. Don't you think it's strange?"
"You're saying that the three great Magus organisations are secretly suppressing the Magus clans in the central continent?" Grimm did not expect Ulthar to reveal so many secrets of the Magus World to him.
"It's not a secret at all!" Ulthar laughed coldly, "The three great Magi have representatives in the Scattered Tower Forest, but it's hard for any of them to gain an absolute advantage. Do you think those old fellows in the central continent can't see that they're just unwilling to fall out with the three great Magi? "
"Then the Witch Punishment Union you mentioned …"
"The Witch Punishment Union doesn't belong to any of the three great Magus organisations. It's a secret organisation formed by the elite Magi of the central continent. Its purpose is to punish those who don't follow the rules of the Magus World, or those who do something that angers the heavens. "
"An independent organisation that doesn't belong to the three great Magus organisations?" Grimm asked doubtfully, "Don't tell me it's an underground organisation created by those old fellows in the central continent to fight against you?"
Ulthar was slightly stunned, and could not help but stare at Grimm again, "You're quite smart. You're right, the Witch Punishment Union is an underground organisation created by those grade 4 old fellows in the Scattered Tower Forest. It's to cross the boundaries of the families and gather the high-ranking Magi of the central continent. They claim to punish those 'Dark Magi' who don't follow the rules, but in reality, they're mainly targeting the representatives of the three great Magi organisations in the Scattered Tower Forest. Once someone crosses the line, they'll attack without mercy! "
"We're not from the three great Magi …"
"But you're just small fries. If that female companion of yours can't help but attack a Magus of the same rank, even if it's just for show, those old fellows from the Witch Punishment Union won't let her go! "
"Alright, alright … I understand!" Grimm scratched his head in distress, "Lord Ulthar, let's get back to the main topic. Are you willing to go with us? "
"Do you think I'm crazy enough to accompany you to the dragon nest to die?"
"That green dragon's nest isn't in the dragon nest. It seems to be a traitor amongst the green dragons, and has been chased out of the dragon nest by the emerald dragons and green dragons. It's currently residing in a very remote mountain range in the central continent. "
"This news is getting more and more wonderful, so wonderful that I can't help but agree! Is there any better news? "
"That green dragon isn't in its nest. It's already rushed to the Scar of Death!"
"That prophecy demigod item is yours now. However, I want half of the other treasures, and I have to pick first … "
