Wizard's Journey

Chapter 174 Basic Knowledge of Chimeras

call out!call out!

Two figures landed before the towering steps of the Six Gates of the Seven Rings Holy Tower Dark Wizard Headquarters. At the same time, two streams of elemental power enveloped their figures, and their wide wizard robes concealed their forms as they followed the wizard in front of them into the building.

On one side was the azure of water, and on the other the crimson of fire. Grimm's gaze peeked out from under his robe and cloak, a fleeting flash of lightning at the tail of the elemental light, as he looked at Millie behind him.

At this moment, Millie was shrouded in a layer of white frost and mist, with scattered blue crystal spots. The chill emanating from her faintly formed an ice phoenix-like shape, which swirled and flew around Millie like a snake, as if it were an invisible protective membrane.

Ok?

How could their control over the forces of nature be so strong?

Green was slightly surprised, but his voice remained unchanged as he said, "Just six months ago, only one space fortress went on an expedition. Given that the Seventh Ring Holy Tower currently launches an expedition every seven to ten years on average, there is absolutely no difference between signing up for the Demon Hunting Mission now and signing up at the last minute a few years later."

Amidst the white, frosty mist, Millie said, "I only hope that the alien world we're entering for our first demon-hunting expedition is a peaceful world with a smooth and orderly system of rules."

For witchers and wizards, a world with a peaceful order is an alien world whose rules are similar to those of the wizarding world. Both are gentle worlds with changing seasons, alternation of day and night, and the cycle of life and death.

Among the many worlds conquered by the wizarding civilization, the rules of some alien worlds were so unique that many wizarding demon hunters did not die from attacks by alien creatures, but from those inexplicable rules.

After a while.

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

A heavyweight demon hunter, over two meters tall, walked past Grimm, his body enveloped in a thick black mist. Within the mist, the heads of howling wolves were vividly depicted, and a pair of dark red bat wings were faintly visible.

After taking a few more glances at the powerful dark wizard, Green and Millie entered the Demon Hunter's Dark Hall together.

The light and dark wizard just now should be a level two wizard with the ability to transform his body into an element, and he is extremely strong among level two wizards. He put a lot of pressure on Grimm, Millie and the wizards behind him.

In the center of the Demon Hunter's side hall is a dark green orb of light floating in the air, with the energy of the rules from all directions of the room flowing into it, giving it a somewhat fantastical and mysterious feel.

Grimm and Millie stood before the sphere of light. After quietly sensing the information within, Grimm whispered, "Only half a year has passed, and over 2,300 Dark Templar Wizards have already signed the Seventh Ring Templar War Contract here. If we calculate based on the ten-year war's preparation time, wouldn't the Dark Templar Wizards alone number close to 50,000 on the Space Fortress? As for the Light Wizards, whose numbers are several times greater than the Dark Wizards, and the countless cannon fodder soul slaves..."

It seems that even the lowest-level space fortress with a diameter of 10,000 meters contains a force of more than two million wizards to wage war against the outside world.

Of course, the vast majority of them were just soul slaves and cannon fodder for the Holy Mark Wizards.

Having grasped some of the concepts, Green turned to Millie, who calmly replied, "Let's sign the contract. To the Saintly Wizards, we low-level Demon Hunter Wizards are merely tools they rent from the Seventh Ring Holy Tower—a kind of investment. As tools, we low-level Demon Hunter Wizards naturally have no right to choose our buyers; we can only wait for those high and mighty Saintly Wizards to come and take the contract."

Green's lips twitched slightly; Millie's analogy was indeed quite 'naked'.

Of course, every wizard's worldview, thoughts, and emotions are different, and this must be objectively acknowledged. Because of his deep-seated love for the wizarding world, Green didn't have as many self-serving thoughts as Millie, but he wouldn't argue about it either.

"Um."

After agreeing, Green and Millie both wrote their names using the method of forming a low-level contract, based on their soul fluctuations. As Green and Millie completed the contract, an invisible ripple flashed by, the elemental runes floating in the sky disappeared, and at the same time, some simple information about Green and Millie and their contact information for the crystal ball appeared in the dark green light sphere.

After leaving the Demon Hunter's Dark Hall, Green and Millie said goodbye and parted ways.

Millie is probably planning to visit her sister Mina in the Seventh Ring World, while Green needs to use his last reserves of witch essence to exchange for basic knowledge about chimeras.

The gateway to the mysteries of life.

Upon entering, the first thing you see is a strangely twisted vine tree with countless branches that resemble gourmet monsters greedily devouring food. On the ground, dozens of pig-like creatures, each about three meters tall, are screaming and trying to escape, only to be mercilessly picked up by the branches, torn apart, and swallowed whole. The scene is extremely grotesque and terrifying.

A faint black aura permeated the room.

Each of these branches is about a hundred meters long, flexible and soft, like octopus tentacles, but they are real tree branches, with a thick layer of black hair covering the bark.

"Do you want to gain basic knowledge of chimeras, or do you hope to trade for knowledge of advanced chimera modification?" Slowly, the upper half of an old wizard's body emerged from the branches and bark of the strange tree, asking Green who was standing at the door, and then slowly stretched and yawned.

A chill ran down his spine, as if he had encountered some mortal enemy. Green's pupils constricted, and he exclaimed, "A black wizard!"

This feeling of goosebumps when encountering a natural enemy is Green's instinctive reaction as a human being.

Dark wizards exert immense oppression and threat over other human wizards in the wizarding world by collecting human despair. In the Dark Realm, ordinary humans are practically slaves kept by dark wizards.

"Hmm, a new Demon Hunter Wizard? Looks like he's here to exchange for basic knowledge of chimeras. Ten Wizard Essences." The old wizard on the strange tree merely glanced at Green, confirming from Green's unusual behavior that Green was just a newly promoted Demon Hunter Wizard.

call out!

A crystal ball emitting a black aura shot towards Green, which Green caught steadily.

At this moment, Green realized his lapse in composure. Although the Wizarding Continent strictly prohibited the emergence of native black wizards, it had already concluded a peace treaty with the Dark Domain, so the two sides had a certain degree of cooperation.

Presumably, this dark wizard is the real dark wizard sent from the Dark Domain after the Wizarding Continent and the Dark Domain cooperated.

After performing the wizard's rituals to apologize for his rudeness, Green opened a dimensional rift with one hand, took out a ball of wizard essence, threw it to the old wizard on the strange tree, and then hurriedly left the Gate of Life's Mysteries.

Any human being around a dark wizard will feel uncomfortable, and a witch hunter like Grimm will inevitably feel hostile.

Back at the Demon Hunter Castle, Green began to replan his schedule.

First, the poison-infused body tempering and the torture prison are over, so Green will use this time to study chimera-related knowledge in order to ensure that he can make initial achievements in the field of chimera during this first demon-hunting expedition.

Secondly, with Green's current mental strength of 98, although he has not yet reached the maximum value of 100 points for a first-level wizard, Green has already decided to end his daily meditation and switch to daily physical training in order to unleash the combat capabilities that his current super high physical attributes should have.

Finally, regarding the pairing with Xiao Ba, the curse magic and ultra-long-distance teleportation must also be applied in actual combat.

The so-called ultra-long-distance teleportation is Green's ability to use Xiao Ba as a coordinate point to create a reverse spacetime connection and thus complete ultra-long-distance teleportation.

"Little Eight!" Green shouted as he sat down at the lab table.

The space on his shoulder twisted, and Little Eight appeared, his eyes darting around. He had a nut in his mouth and said with a fake smile, "Hehe, what is it, my great and beloved Young Master Green?"

Over the past century, the myna's plumage has become increasingly vibrant and beautiful, and it wears a small golden ring on its claw, a magical artifact of unknown origin. It has become a high-class ornamental pet, winning the favor of many female sorcerers.

"How's everything going with what I told you before?" Green asked.

"Gagaga, my dear young master Grin, you can rest assured. The creature perched on your shoulder is a great steel-crowned myna from the wizarding world, not some stupid parrot! Those childish things you mentioned don't even need me... uh, young master, why are you glaring at me? Don't glare at me..."

snort!

Green snorted.

"I'll give you another month. If you can't do it by then, bring me back a thousand bones." After saying this, Green ignored the myna and focused on studying the basics of chimeras. The crystal ball emitted a soft light.

"One...a thousand? A thousand times!" The myna bird stammered, then stood there stunned for a moment before spreading its wings and flying away.
