Wizard's Journey

Chapter 299 Spy Starfall

Seven days later.

After searching the metal castle laboratory for seven whole days, leaving no corner unchecked, Grimm finally activated the ruby ​​in his hand with satisfaction and left this directionless world of the bottle opening.

Overall, the gains from this trip far exceeded the loss of the magic wand...

A pink energy vortex involuntarily repelled Green's body from the sealed space of this world fragment.

"Green, how are you?"

The metal doll was holding an ill-fitting magic staff in both hands and asking Grin a question. The staff was twice her height, which was obviously the result of the loss of her spiritual power after her reincarnation in the phylactery, making it difficult for her to cast some normal spells.

Green said calmly, "No problem."

Immediately afterwards, the seventh-ring pact between Grimm and the metal figure flashed and dissipated into a wisp of pure wizarding will.

The metal figure nodded, then excitedly walked to the teapot at the bottle's mouth, saying with relief, "After reincarnation, I only have a little over three hundred years left to live. I should be grateful that this inherited magical artifact wasn't lost in my hands..."

"Gagaga, young master, you're finally out."

On the other side, Eighth Master flew over from a distance, flapping its wings and landing on Green's shoulder.

Green hummed in agreement and nodded. Then, at the metal figurine's enthusiastic invitation, a delicious dinner began a few hours later...

The next day, Green bid farewell to the metal figure and flew at full speed toward the Seventh Ring Tower without stopping for a moment.

The harmonious and prosperous central area of ​​the Seventh Ring Road boasts exceptionally beautiful scenery. Its population density is far higher than that of the outer Wizarding Academy area, making it a wonderful world suitable for human life and reproduction.

With a whoosh, a gust of wind blew through the wide wizard's robes as Grimm flashed past from high above.

A month later.

One of the entrances to the Seven Rings Holy Tower Protective Shield.

Ignoring the dozens of arcane wizards queuing for examination, Green stepped over the crowd. Amidst the anger of the arcane wizards in front and the astonished gazes of the devotees, Green said in a deep voice, "I am here to surrender and be judged according to the rules."

The crowd gasped in surprise, staring at Green in astonishment.

At this moment, some arcane wizards, upon discovering Green's identity as a demon hunter wizard, turned solemn.

There were four Life Devotees present. After secretly contacting the nearby Seventh Ring Guardians, one of the female Devotees smiled and comforted Grimm, saying, "If you are willing to accept the judgment of the rules, as long as you are not guilty of heinous crimes, paying some magic essence is enough for a Witcher to atone for your sins. Don't worry too much."

Beneath the surface of Grimm's truth, silence prevails.

A moment later, a seven-ringed snail messenger flew over, glanced at Green with his bulging eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Level 3 Medal of Honor? Come with me."

"Um."

Nodding, Green landed on the giant shell of the Seven-Ringed Snail and flew towards the towering Tree of Life in the distance.

The snail was very fast, and on Green's shoulder, the myna cleared its throat with a "cough cough".

"Ahem, young master, do you think... if I go over there, I might be considered an accomplice? You know, this myna has never disgraced Steel Badge Myna. Maybe... I should avoid it for now?"

Green glanced sideways at the myna bird: "Do as you please."

"Gah, whatever? Haha, that's great! Then take care, young master." After saying that, the myna bird happily tore open the dimensional gap and flew in.

Green almost choked; this guy…

The rules-based judicial bodies are distributed in each of the Holy Towers.

To be able to enter, one must be a witcher wizard, which inevitably reminded Green of his experience of being interrogated in the wizard's cell after the newcomer trial.

At the time, it was ironically considered a kind of "honor" for Green to be able to enter the prison for judging wizards as a wizard's apprentice.

The Seven-Ringed Snail Messenger led Green to a mysterious underground building beneath the Tree of Life. Demon hunters, their expressions cold and stern, came and went, each glancing at Green with unfriendly expressions.

High up, the four ancient black characters "Wizard Rules" pierced the mind.

"Confess?"

A white-bearded wizard sat on a high platform and glanced at Green. He was a guardian of the wizarding world, whose strength was comparable to that of a level three archmage.

"Um."

Green nodded, his voice low and dejected.

After taking a puff of his pipe, the white-bearded wizard rummaged around on the platform for a while before handing a piece of parchment to Grimm, saying, "That's right. The wizarding will forgive those witch hunters who are willing to repent, especially witch hunters like you who have made great sacrifices for the wizarding world."

The so-called great sacrifice probably refers to the selection and training system for dark wizards themselves.

call……

Exhaling a smoke ring, the white-bearded wizard pointed to the parchment and said, "Write down your sinful actions, motives, reasons, and path of repentance. I will find these records in the Holy Tower for verification before giving you a fair trial."

"Yes."

Green picked up the quill pen and began to write quickly.

From her relationship with Raffi, to learning after returning to the wizarding world from the Witcher Expedition that Raffi was wanted as a bounty hunter's apprentice, and then to Hattori's secret enslavement magic...

Little by little, Green recorded all his criminal experiences and handed them to the white-bearded wizard.

The white-bearded wizard took the parchment from Grimm, cracked his pipe, and scanned the contents of Grimm's confession. After a while, he put the parchment away, nodded, and said, "Well, I will find all the certifications inside and then put you on trial. During this time, you cannot leave the Seventh Ring Holy Tower's defensive shield area for any reason."

"understood."

Guided by a devotee, Green left the oppressive demon hunter's trial chamber.

According to Green, the certification process typically takes anywhere from a few days to several years, and for someone like Green, it usually takes about three to four months to half a year.

Back at the Demon Hunter Castle, Grimm tried to calm himself down and make task arrangements.

First, organize and preserve the specimens and experimental items collected from the Shadow Mystery world.

Then, Green entered his "World Laboratory" to look after the Golden Ginseng Mother Tree and planted the three Golden Ginsengs that the Black Sota Stigmata Wizard had rewarded him with on the island.

Green also cultivated and planted other plant specimens that posed no risk of conflict on it.

Next, Grimm began to repair and mend some of the tattered magic books he found in the bottle world, but he still couldn't prevent some of them from becoming fragments. With a sigh, Grimm added them to his library.

After such a busy period, more than three months have passed.

However, although the period after returning to the Wizarding World was busy, it had only been a few years since Grimm returned from the world of Enigma in the Shadows, and Millie, who had gone on the Witcher Expedition with him, had still not returned.

According to Green's estimate, it will probably be more than ten years before Millie returns from her expedition, and it's unknown whether the two of them will be able to go on another demon-hunting expedition together.

As the punishment of being imprisoned in the Seven Rings drew closer, Green felt increasingly oppressed, pained, and regretful.

With a sigh, Green flew all the way to the Bounty Mission Hall.

Passing through a large group of witchers who were looking around at the bounty missions, Green walked straight to an intelligent mechanical puppet at the service desk.

The mechanical puppet, resembling an adorable little girl, asked in a stiff voice, "Respected wizard, is there anything I can do for a bounty?"

Five magic essences flew out from Grimm's sleeve. Grimm said in a deep voice, "I am issuing a bounty for a demon hunter who is proficient in cracking the elemental control code of a magical artifact. The address is Grimm's Demon Hunter Castle."

A series of coordinate information was memorized by the little girl's mechanical puppet.

"Okay, I have received the five Witch Spirit bounty. You will need to pay a processing fee of one hundred Wizard Coins, or you can pay it in Witch Spirits or Magic Stones."

The girl's voice remained stiff.

Ding ding ding...

After placing a full one hundred wizard coins on the table, Green turned and left.

Two days later, at Grimm's Demon Hunter Castle, after two demon hunter wizards had left unable to decipher the elemental code, the third demon hunter wizard entered the castle and, upon seeing the metal sphere Grimm had set up, exclaimed in surprise, "Shadow Starfall!"

"The Fall of the Spy Star?"

Green stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the metal ball he had obtained from the bottle's opening.

Is this the Shadowfall?

The so-called Shadow Starfall is the signature flying vehicle of some of the most famous and powerful level three demon hunter wizards in the Demon Hunter Organization, also known as Shadow Wizards.

The Shadow Wizard's mission is to search for the new world where the wizarding world is about to embark on a demon-hunting expedition, using various methods.

After finding the target world, the Shadow Wizard must gather intelligence in this undeveloped world and carry out special missions in sensitive locations within these worlds to provide accurate coordinates for the arrival of the Wizarding World's original spatial fortress.

These sensitive places often possess extraordinary world rules, thus attracting the attention of powerful creatures in the local world.

In short, the missions of Shadow Wizards are incredibly dangerous, and it's also the most common way for Witcher Wizards to obtain the First Class Medal of Honor.

After all, even though the Shadow Wizard mission is difficult, it is still relatively more realistic compared to the chances of killing the Lord of the World and overturning the Demon Hunter Expedition mission.

Due to the nature of their profession, these Shadow Wizards' flying vehicles, besides possessing the ability to resist the annihilation of void power, are characterized by their astonishing maximum speed.

Wizards' flying machines typically reach their maximum speed after a few hourglasses or days, allowing them to travel the world.

However, the Shadow Starfall often takes several months or even years to reach its unimaginable maximum speed, allowing the Shadow Wizard to traverse the endless void.

The demon hunter wizard gave Grimm a serious look before saying in a deep voice, "I need you to add five more wizard essence bounties to the bounty on top of the initial bounty. Because the elemental code deciphering of this Shadow Starfall is not a modern wizarding structure; clearly, it's an ancient relic."

"good!"

Green readily agreed.
