A Sorcerer's Journey - Chapter 591
Chapter 591: An Invisible Stroll
One year later.
The poison creation knowledge was abandoned because it was ruined under undue haste, as such Grimm needed to spend more time now to make up for it little by little.
Whoosh! The Starfall Reconnaissance Craft disappeared in a flash, flying toward Moth Frog City in the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy of the Holy Tower of Six Rings, the airflow formed tail traces as it dashed straight ahead in high speed, only after a short while did it start to dissipate.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft stopped.
Creak! The hatch of the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft opened, Grimm, with a bored Little Myna on his shoulder dozing off, flew out, and after flying in the air for a moment, he returned to the area where he felt a barrier.
The ground was dry and sandy, a sandstorm was blowing around the areas on the edges under the rule of the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy.
“This is a warning from the World Force, it seems like a large number of World Guardians has gathered to inspect the situation of the two academies’ war, also to warn some Sorcerers that are in a hurry to bypass these two areas, and remind the Sorcerers from outside who plan to join the war between the academies to decide wisely.”
Academy Wars of the Sorcerers World would undoubtedly attract a large number of World Guardians and Devotees to observe in the dark.
Once a Sorcerer was found violating the Holy Tower law, they would be taken away mercilessly and handed over to the Holy Tower institution they belonged to in order to pass judgement on them. If cases like slaughtering of the opposing party’s civilians were to happen, in serious cases, they would be executed on the spot to prevent the disaster from spreading, they would not be tolerated.
The Academy War was a civilized battle of the two Stigmata Sorcerers behind the academy, which included the thousands of Arcane Sorcerers of both parties and their giant network of Demon-Hunter Sorcerers, their students and students’ students, and their good friends from before that had beneficial bonds…
It was frequently said that between the academies in the same region, there would be assistance given to each other in the dark.
And just like that, the Academy War happening between the two academies was not purely a war between the strength they portrayed, but more of the clash between their connections behind the scenes.
Unless a Foreign World were to invade the Sorcerers World, this was the largest scale war the Arcane Sorcerers could experience, the level of tragedy was not any smaller than that of a small-scale world war.
The inner part of the Sorcerers World was relatively peaceful, the number of Arcane Sorcerers was a few times larger than the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers, but to the Sorcerers World, this type of war was quite beneficial.
The reason was because it served to alert the Arcane Sorcerers to always maintain their basic danger instinct, the possibility of war which was not far from their reality!
Of course, to the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers that constantly took part in world wars during Demon-Hunter Expeditions, this type of “fair fight under the law” was honestly quite similar to the Sorcerer-Apprentices’ ‘trial and elimination game’, it was just that the game was on a bigger scale, and the opponent for the trial was Arcane Sorcerers.
The level of destruction of Academy Wars facing each other head on might be able to be compared to the final battle to the death during Demon-Hunter Expeditions, but foreign creatures resisting desperately with their entire tribe to give their all, World Lords personally descending, bringing as much huge disasters and unknown changes to the world as possible, were not something a ‘trial and elimination game’ could simulate.
“Young Master, let’s go look around in Moth Frog City, who knows what’s happening there.”
Little Myna’s wings covered his beak while he yawned.
“Yeah.”
Grimm nodded.
It had been about two centuries, the Moth Frog City citizens that were under Grimm’s governance, even the Sorcerer-Apprentice that succeeded Grimm, had probably passed away.
Unless she had advanced as an official Sorcerer.
“I wonder what happened to Moth Frog City’s sky port construction. The Master said before that our battle situation is extremely passive, then that means a large-scale defeat has not appeared yet, it’s just the competition among Sorcerer-Apprentices in the residential territory that is in an extremely passive situation, and it’s probably consuming the Mana Pool indirectly.”
Grimm sighed.
“Let’s hope Moth Frog City is still under the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy’s reign.”
Click! The hatch of the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft closed up once more, and once again lasered far into a distance.
The Starfall Reconnaissance Craft landed far away and was stored away, Grimm activated the Robe of Representation and flew invisibly in the sky.
“Caw? Moth Frog City is developing quite well these years, they have expanded to such a large-scale compared to when Young Master left, it looks like the sky port has expanded a lot after construction too.”
The bustling streets of Moth Frog City were much more prosperous compared to that of Grimm’s memory, traders and tourists were coming back and forth endlessly, the ordinary citizen’s world did not seem to be affected by the Sorcerer Academy War.
With the construction of the sky port, Moth Frog City had flourished much more before the war.
Even though Grimm had yet to understand the specific situation about both parties engaged in the war, he knew clearly that this rich city would without a doubt become a land to fight for.
In the sky, domesticated slaves and airships flew about in the air, and Grimm Road that passed through Vivian Port stationed at the Doma River had become wider, straighter and smoother.
“Let’s dive down first to check out the situation.”
The Robe of Representation was like a layer of hazy watery mist, using the gentlest means to refract the light rays to the back, diverting them to bypass his own barrier range, and so light reflection did not form, just like that in the eyes of photosensitive beings, and Grimm had become perfectly invisible visually.
You could say that light was bypassing this black hole that was Grimm!
In addition, by adding Soundproof Skin to the Robe of Representation, Grimm had achieved concealment in the common soundwave detection aspect, and so, the Robe of Representation had shown its power first hand.
He skillfully interweaved between the people walking on the streets, just like a ghost, no one could sense Grimm and Little Myna’s presence under the Robe of Representation, the two were like spying on the people in the reality space after strolling into the mirror space.
Right beside Grimm, there was a guy with a big beard picking his nose and flicking the booger as if no one was around.
“Young Master, let’s take a look at the Governor’s Residence.”
Hiding under the Robe of Representation, Little Myna leaned into Grimm’s ear and whispered.
Grimm nodded, and toward the Governor’s Residence they went.
“Ha! Ha! Ha! Slow…”
A troop of Knights stopped in front of the Governor’s Residence’s gate, the horses were rather flustered, obviously they were terrified of the two bare-fanged beasts in front of the gate, and did not dare to go near.
As Grimm walked to the front gate he could sense that these two beasts were only creatures with 20 to 30 points of constitution, controlled by using the magic array in their brains, it must be a trickery sorcery that was researched by a Sorcerer-Apprentice, Grimm did not pay much attention to them.
“Governor sir, tracks of Sorcerer-Apprentices from the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy were found on Grimm Road, we also discovered some tracks recently at Vivian Port.”
The leader of the Knights ran, with the clanging of his iron armor, immediately after entering the room and dashed into the big hall with some Sorcerer-Apprentices to give their report.
“Hmph, it’s those annoying flies from the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy, those Sorcerer-Apprentices really are unbearable, next time when the Shadow Argus Sorcerer Academy launches a full attack, they will most probably defeat those Academy Guardians and Guardian Sorcerers, destroy their Sorcerer Tower, and let the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy become an insignificant part of history in the Sorcerers World.”
The Sorcerer-Apprentices, were Sorcerer-Apprentices with mental strengths of a full 40 points.
And the person speaking right now, was actually wearing a mask made out of a Level-3 creature’s skull, his strength among the Sorcerer-Apprentices was considered quite high, he was probably similar to a legendary Sorcerer-Apprentice like Millie in her Ice Age period when Grimm was in his Sorcerer-Apprentice period.
With such a Sorcerer-Apprentice in Moth Frog City, it was clear why the Sorcerer-Apprentices from the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy were deemed unbearable.
He waved his hand, signaling for the Knight to leave, and spoke deeply, “Grimm Road, Vivian Port? Hmph, change the names now, we need the residents of the city to quickly forget about everything related to the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy, everything here belongs to us, the Shadow Argus Sorcerer Academy!”
Under the Robe of Representation, Grimm’s right hand was already extended under the Sorcerer-Apprentice’s throat, as if in the next moment he would choke him to death like a chick.
Alas, the hand hesitated for a moment, and slowly pulled back.
The Holy Tower law specified that during Academy Wars, official Sorcerers could not, in any form, attack in the citizens’ gathering area.
He snorted coldly in his heart, his cold eyes stared at this legendary Sorcerer-Apprentice with a skull mask for a moment, and left without any of the Sorcerer-Apprentices realizing his presence, flying away from this city.
The Starfall Reconnaissance Craft continued to fly toward the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy, Moth Frog City had been seized, deep down in Grimm’s heart he was honestly in an extremely bad mood, he felt an anger as if his own hard work and results were stolen and seized by someone else.
“Young Master, why didn’t you do it just now, what are you afraid of, no one will know.”
Little Myna asked, annoyed.
“No one will know, the law will.”
Grimm sighed.
