Grimm arrived at Rayne City three days later.
The Scotis region where Molten City was located was tens of thousands of miles away from the Elovis region where Grimm was. He had to cross four different regions on the way, and it was impossible for him to travel by flying Wizard Beasts. Hence, he had to rely on the Silver Alliance's Floating Ship.
The treatment that Grimm received in Rayne City this time was vastly different from the last time he visited.
Just as he dismounted his Manticore, before he even reached his temporary residence, the manager of the Wizard Tower had already sent a Magus to wait for him at the entrance.
"Lord Grimm, what brings you to Rayne City? If there's anything I can do for you, please let me know … "The person in charge of receiving him was a Grade 2 Magus. Most of his exposed skin had been replaced by a strange silvery-white metal, and his appearance was somewhat terrifying.
"I have something to do in the Scotis region, and I'd like to take a Floating Ship here …" There was nothing to keep secret about this mission, so Grimm did not try to hide it.
"No problem! There'll be a Floating Ship heading west the day after tomorrow. I'll arrange it for you! Also … "The Magus smiled," There'll be a Magus gathering in the Golden Hall of the Wizard's Pagoda tonight. I wonder if you … "
"Understood! Send someone to inform me when the gathering starts! "
"Alright, I'll inform them now!"
With Grimm's promise, the Magus immediately left, beaming with joy.
It was obvious that the higher-ups of the Rayne City Wizard Tower were looking forward to Grimm's arrival.
It had to be known that more than half of the Elovis region where Rayne City was located had fallen into the hands of the Crimson Family. The rise of the Crimson Family seemed unstoppable. Under these circumstances, building a good relationship with Grimm would undoubtedly be beneficial to the development of Rayne City.
Hence, whether it was for public or private reasons, the higher-ups of the Wizard's Pagoda had to put on a high profile.
A Grade 2 Sorcerer might still be suppressed and attacked, but for a Grade 3 Sorcerer, other than those old monsters who hid behind the scenes and did not show themselves easily, they were already considered to be one of the top powers in the Sorcerer World.
This was especially so for Combat Magi like Grimm, who had displayed great strength. They could only be roped in, not suppressed.
Hence, the higher-ups of the Wizard's Pagoda had a completely different attitude towards Grimm's arrival. They even seemed to want to mend the cracks in their relationship.
Of course, Grimm was well aware of this.
He also wanted to make use of this opportunity to get in touch with the high-level Magi in the Pagoda Forest.
… …
As night fell, the Golden Hall was filled with distinguished Wizards from all levels of the Wizard's of of the Pagoda.
The regular gathering of the Wizards of the Wizard's Pagoda was supposed to be held five days later, but the upper echelons of the Wizard's Pagoda had no choice but to bring it forward due to the arrival of an esteemed guest.
The wizards that were stationed at the Wizard's Pagoda in Rayne City had already found out who the mysterious guest of honor was through various means. Hence, they had arrived at the Golden Hall early in the morning and occupied a better spot. They chatted softly with familiar friends while waiting for the arrival of the guest of honor.
Some of the wizards who hadn't personally experienced it asked in a low voice, while the wizards who had witnessed it began to describe it in detail, as if they had seen it for themselves.
A Tier 2 Sorcerer defeating a Tier 3 Sorcerer by himself. Such a thing should have been impossible, yet it had happened in Rayne City. Therefore, they felt honored for a very, very long time.
A group of musicians dressed in exquisite clothing were performing elegant music in a corner of the hall. Waiters and waitresses in well-ironed attire shuttled between the Wizards with smiles on their faces, serving cups of fine wine and plates of pastries on exquisite trays.
The male and female wizards in robes of various colors were casually standing in the corners of the hall, chatting and laughing as they toasted each other. A few female Wizards with good looks and figures were dressed in unusually sexy attire, quickly becoming the center of attention in the banquet hall.
There were only three Level 3 Wizards in the Wizard's Pagoda in Ryan City. One of them had gone to the south to handle some personal affairs and had not returned. Hence, there were only two Level 3 Wizards in the Golden Hall. One was the Body Tempering Wizard Zawester, and the other was the Earth Element Wizard Logner.
They occupied the center of the hall, surrounded by a group of vassal Wizards. They chatted casually as they scanned the entrance of the hall.
"How much do you know about this Wizard Grimm? I heard that he is not even 200 years old this year … Is this information reliable? " The last time Grimm came to the Wizard's Pagoda in Ryan City, the Body Tempering Wizard Zawester was not in the Pagoda, so he did not come into contact with Grimm. Hence, he was skeptical of the rumors.
The Earth Element Wizard Logner held a glass of red wine in his hand, gently swirling it, a faint smile on his face.
"I don't know much more than you do, and it's all just rumors of the past. However, he is indeed very young. The rumor that he is not even 200 years old could very well be true! "
"Hiss …" Zawester could not help but gasp, "Not even 200 years old! Doesn't that mean … he has a high chance of advancing to level 4? "
"Just based on time and talent, he might very well become a level 4 Wizard in the future!" Logner's smile did not diminish, and he chuckled, "I'm afraid those fellows who want to suppress this young Wizard will have a huge headache!"
Zawester also laughed dryly.
Everyone knew about the conflict between Grimm and his old family, the Sarubo Family. Now that Grimm's Crimson Family was rising in power in the Elovis area, the Sarubo Family would probably have the most trouble at this moment.
In the past, there might have been many opportunists who tried to suppress Grimm out of respect for the Great Wizard Sarubo. But now, he had become a level 3 Wizard, and he had shown the potential to advance to level 4.
Under such circumstances, which idiot would dare to offend a future Tier 4 Sorcerer?
Before the Sarubo Family could produce a new level 4 Wizard, they would have to think of a way to reconcile with Grimm!
The Great Wizard Sarubo was indeed powerful, but it was a pity that he was in the outer realm and could not return to the Magus World. This meant that the Sarubo Family had lost their only chance of suppressing Grimm. Of course, if Grimm was not stupid, he would not have taken the initiative to provoke the Sarubo Family. After all, the Sarubo Family had two level 3 Bloodline Magi overseeing it, and their strength was among the top in the central continent.
Seeing the two level 3 Magi chatting, the many level 1 and 2 Magi around them could only smile apologetically and listen in silence. At this moment, those who could speak in front of the two level 3 Magi were naturally those closest to them.
"Teacher, the Wizard's Pagoda just received some news from the north a few days ago. It seems to have something to do with Lord Grimm!" The one who spoke was a middle-aged Magus at level 2. He had a serious expression on his face.
He was the disciple of the level 3 earth element Magus Logner.
"Oh? Tell me about it … "Logner nodded.
"Yes! This news came from the Black Rose Merchant Guild in the north. It's said that the battle between the Witches of Destiny and the Winter Witches has ended. Teacher, can you guess who won? "
"Normally, it should be the Winter Witches who won. But since you're asking, could it be that the Witches of Destiny won? "Logner could not help but narrow his eyes.
"Yes, teacher! The news they brought back was very clear. The Witches of Destiny won. "
West, who was listening by the side, could not help but frown.
"We're talking about Grimm. What northern witches are you talking about … Could it be that those northern witches are related to Grimm?"
Logner shook his head and sighed, "West, you're still too out of touch with the news! You might not know this, but the young Grimm has a close relationship with the Witches of Destiny. It's said that the current leader of the Witches of Destiny is Grimm's secret lover … Don't you think this news is shocking? "
"What? There's such a thing? "West's eyes immediately widened, his face full of shock and disbelief.
The leader of the northern witches was regarded as a grade 4 Witch in the scattered forest of towers!
To be related to them, the resources, the wealth, the power … You could simply ask for anything!
For a moment, even West was a little jealous of that lucky kid.
"Lord Grimm has arrived …"
As the deacon apprentice at the entrance of the hall loudly announced his name, all the Magi in the hall stopped talking and turned to look at the entrance.
There, a tall, young, and handsome man strolled in. A pair of dark eyes swept across the crowd and fell straight on the two grade 3 Magi.
The two grade 3 Magi immediately raised their glasses and nodded in greeting.
Grim strode towards the two of them.
The vassal Magi gathered around the two grade 3 Magi tactfully retreated to the sides, leaving a place for the three to talk in peace.
"Welcome, Wizard Grimm!"
"Thank you for your kind intentions, I'm also very honored to pay a visit …"
After a simple exchange of greetings, the three gathered together and chatted happily.
The topics they talked about did not involve any cooperation or communication between the two parties. Instead, it was all related to the things that a Magus needed to pay attention to after advancing to grade 3. From this aspect, it could be seen that the three of them were talking on the surface, but in secret, the two veteran Magi were silently teaching and guiding the new Magus, Grimm.
