Wizard's Journey

Chapter 252 Pursuing the Divergence

Compared to the space fortress that had been fully prepared for war and was now undergoing a period of contraction and defense, the fortress was now much quieter.

The space fortress has left the 'Lava Sanctuary' and is advancing unstoppably towards the 'Mystery Dead Zone'. At this time, the Fire Crystal World, formerly known as the Mystery Sanctuary and Storm City, no longer exists.

Along the way, a large number of demon hunters commanded lava giants and fire creatures to clear out the path leading to the fortress.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Green and his group of more than ten demon hunters, who were on a mission to "clean up Amonro's lair", flew back to the space fortress square and headed to the magic tower mission hall to hand in their mission.

As a personal reward, Green received three Witch Essences, while the other Witch Hunters received two.

Turning his head, Green looked at Millie and saw her looking at the light screen, deciding on a demon-hunting mission. He suddenly whispered, "I don't plan to do any more demon-hunting missions."

Millie was taken aback and looked at Green in surprise: "Why? We're nearing the end of the demon hunt. Now is the best time to earn witch spirits. Not only is the danger low, but the frequency and rewards are high. You'll know how precious witch spirits are when you return to the wizarding world."

Shaking his head, Green slowly said, "Earning more witch essence will never be enough. On the contrary, I am very interested in some of the wonders of this world. I think the hundred or so witch essences I earned on this demon-hunting expedition should be just enough for my experimental research over the next two hundred years."

Green has earned approximately 120 to 130 Witch Essences, including the Witch Essence rewards from the Demon Hunter Expedition itself.

However, if we include the reward of the World's third-tier honor medal for returning to the fifth tier, and the reward of the Tomb of Words Stigmata Wizard personally awarded by the Tomb of Words Wizard Academy for a hundred years of profound wizard work, which would offset another hundred wizard essences, the total would exceed three hundred wizard essences.

If Glinken were to trade some of the spoils from this demon-hunting expedition, he would even gain a little more witch spirit.

For a mere rookie demon hunter, such an income is already quite extravagant compared to that of a typical demon hunter wizard.

Millie shook her head and smiled, "Perhaps you don't fully understand the importance of wizarding spirits. As long as you have wizarding spirits, you will be in a dominant position in transactions anywhere in the wizarding world. Its value is far beyond that of magic stones, not to mention wizarding coins, which are worthless in the wizarding world."

"Millie, the pursuit of knowledge is the eternal truth for wizards. If you think about it carefully, instead of desperately earning wizard essence now, who knows how much wizard essence you'll have to spend if you want to travel to this world through the Holy Tower in the future? It's better to save it now."

Green offered a different perspective.

Millie stared at Green in astonishment, opened her mouth, and after a long while, seemingly acknowledging that Green had a point, shook her head and changed her words, saying, "Maybe you're right, but my situation is different from yours."

Millie looked somewhat disappointed, her silver hair fluttering in the wind.

Millie knew that perhaps the difference between an ordinary witcher and an elite witcher was right before her and Green's eyes, but she was powerless to change anything.

Because, in Millie's eyes, the greatest way to gain profit was to desperately earn witch essence.

Or, like Green, without a specific purpose, the gap might widen even further.

During her time as a wizarding apprentice, Millie of the Ice Age was regarded as a legendary wizarding apprentice by the six major wizarding academies of District Twelve. Now, among the many witch-hunting wizards, she feels insignificant and powerless, and her future is uncertain.

Grimm glanced at Millie one last time, then turned and left without saying another word.

The myna bird perched on Green's shoulder, flapping its wings at Millie and saying, "Ice Maiden, I'll come find you to play when we get back to the Demon Hunter's Castle, quack quack..."

The sound gradually faded into the distance.

……

call out!

The sky was filled with fleeting afterimages.

Flying alone in the sky, surrounded by endless shadowy clouds, Grimm turned to the myna and asked, "Among those lava two-headed serpents, did you really sense any creatures or strange objects capable of communicating with mysterious forces?"

The myna bird affirmed, "Absolutely right, it's true. Among those migrating lava two-headed snakes, there is either an anomaly or some other peculiar creature."

The ability to communicate with mysterious forces is similar to that of beings like Xiao Ba, who possess mysterious and incomprehensible aspects in certain areas, and even break through the rules and limitations of endless worlds.

It's hard to say whether it's good or bad.

Communicating with mystical forces doesn't always lead to gaining wondrous abilities; it can also result in things like mysterious curses, useless abilities, and even more.

As for the group of lava two-headed serpents, they were merely a group of creatures that migrated from the Lava Sanctuary after the Great Cataclysm of this world, as the environment was shifting in a direction more favorable to the survival of creatures in the Fire Domain.

Even if there were a few lava serpents that had barely developed intelligence, they were nothing special and posed no threat to Green.

Five days later.

Ok?

Green hovered in the air, gazing at the geological changes taking place in the distance.

Because of the continuous rainfall that occurred during the Shadow Cataclysm, these rains accumulated and formed giant lakes throughout the world. Even now, five years after the Shadow Cataclysm, these lakes show no signs of evaporating or shrinking; instead, they continue to accumulate, seemingly forming an ocean!

Furthermore, water circulation has already been implemented.

When this world was still the World of Shadows and Mysteries, the Crimson Sun Land was the mainstream of this world, but it was ruled by the rules of the Shadows and Mysteries. Now that it has become the World of Fire Crystals, will even these geological features be reversed?

From this perspective, the peculiar rules of this world themselves have left a glimmer of hope for the shadowy, enigmatic creatures.

In contrast, the once mysterious holy land, now dominated by lava creatures in this world, has become a new dead zone. The fiery power of the lava giants can no longer penetrate it; this is the cursed land of the lava giants.

The former guardian of this world, the King of the Mysteries, is probably like the former King of the Lava Giants, only able to barely maintain the power of a level four being within the Mysteries Dead Zone.

pity……

Shaking his head, Green gave a cold laugh and continued flying towards his distant destination.

Unfortunately, in this world's strange rules, the enigmatic creatures that should have fallen into slumber, leaving a glimmer of hope for their future awakening, are about to be replaced by witch hunters.

The Origin Space Fortress will be permanently placed in the Shadow Dead Zone of this world. It is even possible that in the future, a group of wizards who can manipulate the rules of mystery will emerge in this world and rule the Shadow Dead Zone.

Firstly, the rulers of this world, the Lava Giants, find it difficult to extend their influence into the areas where the shadowy and mysterious power of this world is most concentrated.

Therefore, it is currently used to deter the Lava Giant race and preserve the value of Wizard Coins.

Thirdly, if another catastrophe were to occur in this world someday in the future, the wizards would be able to lead the shadowy creatures under their rule to easily and completely control the entire world!

Ultimately, the wisdom of the shaman was simply beyond the comprehension of these native creatures.

Even if it weren't for the myna's unintentional banter, Green, as a low-level wizard, would not have understood the true mystery behind it.

For ordinary wizards, waiting thousands or tens of thousands of years for another cataclysmic event in the world is simply an unattainable dream. But for great Stigmata Wizards, or even eternal True Spirit Wizards, such a time is still within their reach.

This scene is so reminiscent of when the Purple Gold Incense family took away Grimm's "Venus" perfume formula during his apprenticeship.

In the eyes of higher life forms, lower life forms are always foolish, and lower life forms can only continue to be foolish until one day they grow into higher life forms and look back on their past foolishness.

Or... develop foresight and wisdom, investing in things that are out of sight when you are still a lowly being.
